War Military: From 1978

Chapter 163: Guerrilla against guerrilla!

"Comrade Chuan, this is the mission situation. Do you think it can be completed?"

On top of the high ground, under the anti-artillery fortifications dug by the Vietnamese devils, the regiment commander looked at Chu An.

Chu An frowned.

He didn't expect to have another mission, and it was such a risky one.

After thinking for a while, Chu An said, "Commander, there are only nine people in my reconnaissance platoon who are not injured, and with me, there are only ten of us.

Besides, I think infiltration is probably impossible now!"

As soon as Chu An said this, before Chu An could finish, the deputy division commander beside him frowned and said, "Comrade Chu An, with great ability comes great responsibility. I know you are all working hard now, fighting all the way, especially you, with your outstanding military exploits. The superiors even sent a telegram saying that your heroic deeds have been published in the newspaper and circulated in the country.

You can't let down your guard at this time!"

Chu An looked at the deputy division commander, his brows furrowed, and he didn't get angry at his heroic deeds: "Commander, I'm not being rude, I'm just telling the truth!"

Glancing at the regiment commander again, Chu An continued, "In fact, the enemy situation is now very clear. The prisoner we captured also explained some of the situation before!
He said they have now implemented a plan to erect walls and clear the land."

After a pause, Chu An spoke again: "I don't know if you, Commander, are aware of the "Erect Walls and Clear the Wilds" policy, but the captives said that there are basically no civilians left in all the northern towns!

In other words, the Vietnamese people we see outside now, even the elderly, children and even women, are all the fighting forces of the Vietnamese devils.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is important is that the Vietnamese devils are now clearly strictly controlling their civilians and combatants.

In this case, let’s not talk about how we can’t solve this legitimate identity problem.

Even if we can find a way to solve the identity problem and infiltrate the city, unless we pretend to be regular soldiers, if we act like militia, we will be exposed as fake without even saying a word! "

"Why?" the deputy division commander asked with a frown.

The team leader obviously didn't understand.

Chu An didn't say anything immediately. He just turned around and shouted, "Go and bring two prisoners over!"

After saying that, Chu An bent down and started taking off his shoes.

It was obvious that the deputy division commander and the others were a little puzzled by Chu An's behavior.

But after the guard platoon brought over the prisoner that Chu An and his men had captured on the mountain, as well as a wounded and lagging Vietnamese militiaman they had captured on the way.

The situation became clear immediately.

Even though Chu An's feet were a little dirty, they looked very white overall, after all, he wore shoes every day.

But what about the Vietnamese devils?
The two people brought here were barefoot.

It was also obvious that the skin on the two men's dark feet was very rough, and there were even some obvious scars.

The deputy division commander and others frowned.

Chu An spoke again: "These guys, even the regular soldiers of the local armed group, often run barefoot on a daily basis. They only wear these slippers when they are in places with sharp rocks.

The militiamen don't even wear shoes on a daily basis. After all, flip-flops are not conducive to running, and the soles of their feet are already covered with thick calluses.

If we pretend to be them and walk over barefoot, people will see through us at a glance."

At this moment, the team leader and the others frowned deeply.

The vertical wall clears the field.

They actually knew that the Vietnamese devils were fighting guerrilla warfare and cutting off our roads to prevent us from obtaining food and supplies from their civilian population.

They took away what they could take away, and destroyed what they couldn't take away.

Simply put, there is basically no food left in the villages and towns, and even many water sources have been poisoned.

They hope to use this method to delay our troops from entering their territory.

But to be honest, the team leader and his men didn't pay much attention to their feet.

"Then do you have any good ideas?" The deputy division commander looked at Chu An and asked.

"Capture prisoners!" Chu An expressed his thoughts.

"If you want to understand the situation, there's no need to enter the city. Just capture a few more prisoners from inside the city!"

This method is actually very simple. It is impossible that the deputy division commander and others have not thought of it. It’s just that the superiors now obviously want to understand the situation inside the T more clearly and intuitively.

"Let's report this to our superiors!" Finally, the team leader spoke up. The problems Chu An raised forced them to take them seriously.

There are not many scouts in Regiment C, and he is unwilling to lose them if the risk is so great.

Of course, there are indeed alternative ways.

Not to mention the capture of prisoners later, they actually already have quite a few prisoners now.

They were all Vietnamese devils who were injured and left behind along the way.

Soon, the communicator reported the C Regiment's words to the 1st Division headquarters.

It only took a dozen minutes for the feedback to come back.

The reconnaissance mission can be changed to capturing prisoners, but you must find out the situation inside the T. In addition, if there is an opportunity, you still have to infiltrate and conduct reconnaissance!
Chu An didn't say anything about this.

Just don't force the infiltration. He has made up his mind not to let his own people infiltrate anyway.

Knowing that he would die, he would never do such a foolish business.

"Okay, the reconnaissance platoon's mission is complete.

Chu An, you have a sharp mind, can you give us some good suggestions on our plan to get through?"

After this problem was solved, the team leader immediately called Chu An to the front of the map.

Chu An responded and walked over.

On the map, you can clearly see a winding line running southeast from the current 312 Highland through the mountain jungle.

Chu An also saw the end point, which was two small hills beside the road.

The map does not indicate how high the hill is, but this location is seven or eight miles away from Kou T, and should be seven or eight kilometers away from the current 312 Hill.

"Captain, may I ask how many people are going this time?"

"Fifth and Sixth Company!"

Immediately, Chu An frowned.

"Captain, are the two companies planning to move together and just go through like this?"

"That's right. The 5th and 6th companies will split into two groups and find suitable routes along both sides of the penetration line!" The regiment commander said, looking at Chu An and asking, "Do you think there is anything wrong?"

Chu An hesitated for a moment, and after organizing his words in his mind, he said, "Captain, I really think this is inappropriate!"

After saying that, Chu An didn't hesitate and looked at him directly and said, "Captain, the Vietnamese devils are obviously everywhere now, and we are definitely being monitored by the Vietnamese devils. In this case, the fourth and fifth companies will definitely have to fight all the way down the mountain!"

After a pause, Chu An continued, "Just like when you came to our high ground before, the Vietnamese devils will definitely stop us at every step.

If we march this way, I don’t know if these two companies can break through. Even if they can, they will probably pay a heavy price in the end!"

"Do you have a better idea?" the deputy division commander frowned and asked.

There is no way they couldn't see this.

But now our officers and soldiers are actually accustomed to this tough style of fighting.

Sacrifice is considered normal by today's commanders and fighters.

War is only for victory. As long as we win, the sacrifice is worth it.

This is our consistent fighting style.

The reason is that in our previous battles, whether it was the anti-Japanese war or the subsequent aid to C, it was a helpless move because our own equipment level was far inferior to that of the enemy.

Victory is achieved through sacrifice and iron will.

But even though Chu An had never attended a professional military academy, as a person who had attended university in later life, his subconscious thought was how to avoid sacrifice and complete the mission at the lowest cost.

Chu An said, "I suggest that the fourth and fifth companies act in squads. It would be best if one squad were divided into two groups, so that we can move in a small scale and move over a large area."

Chu An pointed to the long highway line south of the T on the map and said, "We can use guerrilla warfare against guerrilla warfare. After all, didn't you say that our mission is to cut off their transportation lines?
Guerrilla warfare should be fine too!"

Chu An's words were like a wake-up call. For a moment, the regiment commander, deputy division commander and others were stunned.
