War Military: From 1978

Chapter 164 The Deputy Commander’s Thoughts!
Is guerrilla warfare feasible?
It’s definitely possible!

Before, no one thought about this tactic and ignored it subconsciously.

After all, everyone's subconscious idea is that guerrilla warfare is a tactic used when one is at a disadvantage and on the defensive.

But we are now actively attacking, and our combat objectives are penetration and occupation. So why fight guerrilla warfare in this situation?
However, now that Chu An said this, it was as if lightning had struck everyone’s mind.

Yes!

Why can't they fight guerrilla warfare now?

Interpenetration and occupation have nothing to do with them at the moment.

Their next task was to cut off the enemy road line.

Using limited manpower to do such a dangerous thing.

If we force our way through, not to mention whether we can complete the mission, even if we do, the two companies that have gone there will certainly suffer heavy casualties.

On the contrary, if the two companies were to split up into smaller units and act separately, the targets would suddenly become smaller and more numerous.

Even if the Vietnamese devils really want to ambush and attack, we only have a few of us, so we can just go around it.

Perhaps casualties are inevitable after doing this, but by reducing and dispersing the target, the casualties will definitely be better than splitting the troops into two groups and then being targeted and attacked all the way by the Vietnamese devils.

"Okay, that's it!"

The deputy division commander took a deep breath and strongly affirmed Chu An's idea.

To be honest, at this moment, the deputy division commander already had an idea.

If Chu An's previous carpet tactics only made him think that Chu An was smart, then this new move really made the deputy division commander realize that Chu An was definitely a strategic and tactical talent.

To be honest, it’s not that Chu An is the one leading the reconnaissance platoon, but the reconnaissance platoon has a heavy workload and cannot be easily transferred at this time, so he wants to keep Chu An in the regiment headquarters.

Soon, under the defensive fortifications, everyone began to discuss specific actions based on this tactic.

Among them, Chu An again proposed that the Special Forces Company and the Fourth Company could arrange some people to organize a feint attack to cover the T direction before the Fifth and Sixth Companies set off.

Naturally, the proposal was accepted.

There are also militiamen supporting the 312 Heights. Many of these people are retired veterans and they definitely know how to shoot.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the entire Fourth Company goes down now, these militiamen can still hold this high ground.

After all, it occupies a great geographical advantage, and there are heavy weapons on the high ground.

Time passed slowly. After discussing the battle plan, Chu An went straight back to the reconnaissance platoon's resting place and found a shelter to lie down in.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Chu An woke up.

Then he started down the mountain with the reconnaissance platoon.

At that moment, the Type 82 mortars on the position and the small cannons located around the high and low positions all opened fire.

Fire at the position below the mountain where the enemy was expected to be lurking and stalking.

And not only mortars, but also heavy machine guns were firing in bursts.

For a moment, there was a loud sound of gunfire.

"what's the situation?"

"Have the flower growers gone crazy?"

The Vietnamese devils were really confused after being beaten.

They didn't even think about attacking Hill 312.

After all, they knew very well that with a battalion of troops stationed there, they would basically be unable to take down the high ground unless they could get a regiment and then some anti-aircraft guns.

But this is not possible.

Hill 312 itself is not important, even if there are supplies inside.

But they would not start a bloody battle that would cause them to suffer heavy losses just for these supplies.

Now they are only hiding in the places where they can hide around Hill 312, silently monitoring Hill 312, and preparing to block it.

Unexpectedly, the Flower-Growing Soldiers on Hill 312 opened fire for no reason.

For a time, they really suffered a huge loss.

After all, there were indeed Vietnamese devils stalking and ambushing at several locations where the Flower Growers fired their artillery!
"They are preparing to go down the mountain, get ready!" The commander of the Vietnamese devils issued combat orders.

At the same time, the Fourth Company and the Special Forces Company's engineering battalion also began to take action.

The engineers left in front, and a platoon of soldiers from the fourth company left behind.

Afterwards, there was a platoon each from the 4th and 5th companies, plus Chu An's reconnaissance platoon.

Almost the strength of a full company.

"Papa~"

Gunfire continued.

In the jungle, soldiers from both the Fourth Company and other companies were moving with the help of trees and low slopes.

Even at this moment, a flare was fired by the 82 mortar on the high ground behind.

The sky suddenly brightened.

"Clap!"

Finally, gunshots were heard in the distance in the jungle.

The Vietnamese devils couldn't help it anymore. They fired secretly and then ran away immediately.

Harassment is their current tactic, and the effect is indeed obvious. Even if we are sufficiently prepared, they are still hiding in the jungle.

You don't know where he is exactly, and now you are attacked by surprise, and two soldiers fall down immediately.

But immediately, more firepower covered that area.

And immediately a squad of soldiers chased after him.

"Pah, bang!"

The sound of gunfire gradually became louder.

The team coming down the mountain began to walk slower and slower, and the number of people seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. The key point was that the Japanese soldiers didn't notice it at all.

It was pitch dark, and after the flares went out, there was no further progress on the high ground behind.

Moreover, after the fourth company was defeated, its formation was very scattered.

The critical gunfire also stopped a lot.

Chu An, along with Wang Xiaohu and Luo Yun, quietly left the main group and walked slowly in the jungle with their backs bent.

Yes, up to now, of the more than one hundred people who rushed down just now, there are probably only forty or fifty left and they are still slowly advancing forward.

Along the way, people from both the reconnaissance platoon and the fifth and sixth companies were dispersing into the jungle.

Of course, everyone’s goals are definitely different.

The soldiers from the fifth and sixth companies were going to cross Highway 34 and conduct guerrilla warfare, while Chu An and other soldiers from the reconnaissance platoon were divided into three groups of three and were lurking in the direction of Kou T.

When capturing prisoners, the requirements must be that they must be taken from the T-zone.

In order to make sure that he came out from the T-shirt, you can only run to the side of the T-shirt and watch it, and when you see someone coming out, look for an opportunity to take action.

Time passed slowly, and the people of the Fourth Company walked slower and slower, until in the end they simply stopped moving forward and started to retreat instead.

Because the people from the fifth and sixth companies who remained on the high ground have now dispersed and moved down the mountain from other directions in batches.

"Pah~pah!"

In the mountain jungle, gunshots were occasionally heard from other directions.

On the high ground, the regiment commander looked worried.

There is absolutely no tactical problem with the guerrilla-versus-guerrilla strategy proposed by Chu An tonight.

But after doing this, some of the soldiers who went out tonight may never be able to return to their homeland.

This is actually a point that is difficult for our army to accept.

Our army is not afraid of sacrifice, but our army has always respected the remains of our comrades. Even if they have sacrificed their lives, we will fight to the death to snatch them away, and then transport them to the rear and send them back to the country for burial.

But with this kind of low-estimated infiltration, some groups may be directly submerged in the mountains and dense forests of Yue State and can no longer be found.
