War Military: From 1978

Chapter 124: Capture a Thousand Prisoners? A Surprise Attack!
"You beasts! We're starving, and yet they've got rice piled up to the point of smelling mold!"

“Look at this watch, it costs 120 yuan each in China, we can’t even afford it, but there are so many of them here.

And this bicycle, our company officers still run on two legs every day! "

Walking through the town, listening to the whispers of the soldiers beside him and watching the supplies they found from the Vietnamese devils' warehouses and shops in the town, Chu An clenched his fists again and again.

They are all from our own country, from food to daily necessities, everything says "aid from the flower-growing countries".

A very sad feeling surged in my heart.

He actually understands why the country wants to assist this country.

Just like the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

How can you allow a bandit who may put a knife to your neck at any time to sleep soundly next to your bed?

But we have always respected this country's territorial sovereignty and have never even thought about fighting them before.

It can be seen from the fact that the two sides have been friendly for so long that we haven't even surveyed the map of their territory.

But what about them?

They ate the food we saved by tightening our belts, but in the end they pointed their cannons at us.

Everyone's mood was complicated, even the ordinary soldiers' mood was more complicated than Chu An's.

After all, there are not many people with high school education these days, and many soldiers travel far away from their hometowns to the army.

They have limited horizons and do not understand the country's strategic situation.

They were very angry and confused about the fact that they themselves were not yet able to eat enough, but they were providing so many supplies to the Vietnamese devils. Even now that the Vietnamese devils have started to attack us, they still have so many of our supplies piled up in their warehouses.

"Platoon leader, don't you think our behavior is just nurturing a tiger to harm us?" Following behind Chu An, the second squad leader muttered with a wry smile.

Chu An turned around, paused, and sighed, "They can't be called tigers, at most they are wolf cubs, but we fed them too much, so they grew up with all their limbs intact!"

Chu An was also wondering why this happened.

In the end, he felt that we were too kind and continued to give too much blood transfusion for too long.

If we only keep them half-dead and hanging on to their last breath, they will not dare to raise their teeth at us right after the war.

However, this battle is definitely unavoidable.

They have a bad nature, and if someone wants to save them, even if they only have one breath left, they will still jump at most in their later years.

Shaking his head, Chu An stopped thinking about these troubles and looked back at the second squad leader: "Let's go faster!"

At the moment, Chu An only brought a second squad leader with him, which was the order from the front command.

According to the instructions from our superiors, our army only fights during the day and not at night.

So after a day of attack, we have to rest here until today.

Of course, Chu An was speechless when he heard this order.

Is it possible to fight like this?

Only fight during the day, not at night?
Will the Vietnamese devils agree?
Although he was speechless about the order, he was only a platoon leader and had no right to question anything.

So after his superiors ordered a rest, he could only ask the reconnaissance platoon to temporarily set up an overnight camp on a high ground south of the town and take the time to rest.

No one slept well last night.

Today was a daylong battle. Although everyone had to concentrate highly due to the stimulation of the battlefield environment, people still need to sleep.

In fact, if the commander hadn’t shouted, Chu An would have wanted to lie down for a while.

"Chu An!"

When Chu An walked out of the town, he saw Cui Jiying waiting in front of him.

"Company commander!"

Chu An and the second squad leader came forward to say hello.

The troops have issued an order today that saluting in the field is not allowed during combat because it will cause losses.

On the main attack route, a deputy battalion commander was shot in the back just because his subordinates saluted.

"You did a good job today. Let's go. The chief of staff and others are waiting for you!" Cui Jiying smiled and patted Chu An's shoulder.

"it is good!"

Chu An followed his footsteps.

You can see that there is a large area of tents set up in a forest less than 200 meters ahead.

This is the forward point of Regiment C.

The regiment commander and his men are still in the rear. Only the chief of staff, a deputy regiment commander, and a deputy political commissar are here.

"report!"

Leading Chu An to a tent, Cui Jiying shouted a report.

"Come in!"

The chief of staff's voice came from inside.

Cui Jiying immediately led Chu An in.

"Chu An is here, come here and take a look at the map!"

Seeing Chu An following Cui Jiying over, the chief of staff turned around with a smile.

"Yes! Chief!"

Chu An stepped forward.

The map was the same one I had seen before, but many of the points on it were circled.

This is the territory that their main force has conquered today.

The progress is very fast. Tong L has been taken and we are now continuing to move south.

"We've now advanced a total of thirty kilometers, and are now twelve or thirteen kilometers away from our border. We've completed the first phase of our mission, but the next step is the hardest!"

The Chief of Staff smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will split our forces into two groups. One will go to Tong L, and the other will follow the main force south."

The Chief of Staff pointed at the map and said, "We are going to take over the territory captured by the main force and clear out the remaining troops scattered by the main force."

He looked at Chu An again and said, "Your reconnaissance platoon has a heavy task. The regiment requires you to split into four. The artillery reconnaissance squad will go to the artillery battalion, and the other three reconnaissance squads will be assigned to the three infantry battalion headquarters and move with the infantry battalions!" Chu An frowned and said, "Commander, doesn't this mean that our entire regiment will be dispersed?"

Chu An knew that his group was not the main force, but he did not expect it to be like this now.

According to this plan and the points on the map, my regiment will probably have to divide its troops into company units.

Can one company hold a strategic location?

"Haha, don't worry, we are facing only the remnants of a defeated army.

The main force has already penetrated them, and now what we have to do is actually very simple.

Clear them out and take prisoners.

Our superiors have ordered our regiment to capture at least one thousand prisoners. This is a difficult task, and you, the reconnaissance platoon, must pay close attention!"

At this moment, Chu An was a little dazed. Looking at the high-spirited chief of staff, he thought for a while and decided not to say anything else.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

"Well, do it well, that's right!"

The chief of staff's expression grew serious! "Comrade Chuan, your comrade Helanshan has already died. Now, after consultation with the regiment headquarters, you will temporarily serve as the acting deputy company commander, and your position as platoon leader will be taken over by Fan Yunpeng!"

When he said this, he was looking at the second squad leader behind Chu An!

At this moment, Chu An and the second squad leader did not say anything, and neither of them even looked excited about the promotion.

On the contrary, they were both a little gloomy.

"Yes!"

Chu An took a deep breath and stood at attention again in response.

"boom!"

Suddenly, at this moment, an explosion sounded right next to me.

The tents were blown askew by the blast.

"what's the situation?"

Everyone in the front command center's expression changed.

"Quick, get out!"

Chu An yelled and turned and ran.

was attacked.

Listen to where the shells land, at most twenty meters away.

This exploded right next to it!

If the arrow had landed inside the tent just now, they would have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

The people at the front command quickly ran out.

"what!"

"My legs, my legs!"

"Quick, find out where the cannon came from!"

Outside, it's chaos.

The forward command is stationed here, and many people from the troops following the forward command are staying here, and there is also a cooking team temporarily preparing to cook here.

But now, the shell hit the kitchen directly.

"Get down!"

Suddenly, Chu An roared.

He was a scout, and after coming out, he habitually looked around for positions where artillery fire could be directed.

Then he discovered that another small black dot was approaching quickly from the hillside of the high ground in the southwest.

He only had time to knock down the nearest deputy commander who had just run out.

"boom!"

The shells exploded again, and this time they hit the back of the forward command post where they were just now, and the tents of the forward command post were directly blown to pieces.

"Quick, southwest high ground!"

Chu An yelled.

In fact, gunfire had already broken out on the hill at this time.

After capturing the town, troops will definitely be sent to occupy the surrounding high ground.

But the artillery shells just now were not fired from the top of the mountain.

"boom!"

"boom!"

At this moment, an explosion was heard from the other side.

It's outside the town in the south.

Chu An's face changed while he was running. His reconnaissance platoon was still over there.

"What's going on? Where did the enemy come from?"

At this time, the chief of staff, who had just gotten up, started yelling in frustration.

But now obviously no one answered him.

"Hurry, let's go into town. It's not safe here. Let's find a sturdier house in town!"

At this time, the deputy captain who had just been knocked down by Chu An stood up and greeted everyone.

Chu An frowned nervously. He intuitively felt that this was inappropriate, but he couldn't tell why.

And at this moment, another shell hit the woods, and the troops in this area immediately retreated quickly.
