War Military: From 1978

Chapter 197 Mine, Night March!

The sudden airdrop really scared Chu An and his entire reconnaissance platoon.

Everyone thought they were surrounded by enemies for no apparent reason.

In fact, we were indeed surrounded by enemies, but two more words had to be added after this enemy.

Supplies.

They were surrounded by enemy supplies.

This incident caused dozens of people in the last row to shake their heads and feel both amused and helpless.

Of course, it is impossible not to pick up the airdrop.

Although they have their own mission, now that the airdrop is falling, if they don't pick it up, will they leave it to the enemy?
"Squad leader, contact the regiment headquarters and ask them to send someone to receive the supplies. The rest of you, search everywhere and pick up all these gifts from the enemy. We can't let the Vietnamese devils down!" Chu An ordered with a smile.

They actually have everything now.

Next to the huge supply depot in the middle of Sanpin Mountain, the group is now fully equipped with everything from guns and ammunition to food and drink. Even each squad in Chuan's team is equipped with a night vision telescope.

Not to mention Chu An himself, he has more than just night vision binoculars.

He didn't even use an AK, but instead an SVD with night vision.

All of this was seized from the supply warehouse.

But there weren't many of these things, and only Chu An's reconnaissance platoon and some other reconnaissance teams received some.

Putting the gun on his back, Chu An looked around, then walked to a place with a slightly better view, reached into his bag and took out the somewhat large telescope.

He reached out and moved something above him.

Chu An placed the telescope in front of his eyes.

Night vision binoculars are low-light capable and require batteries to operate.

But batteries these days are extremely short-lived.

Not to mention the matchbox-sized batteries in telescopes, even the larger batteries in 861 and 884 walkie-talkies have extremely limited battery life.

Therefore, whether it is the telescope or the SVD night vision scope in his hand, they are both powered off when not in use.

Looking around, Chu An didn't find anything unusual. He quickly put down the telescope and turned off the power.

Soon, Wang Xiaohu came over after contacting the regiment headquarters.

"Platoon leader, the regiment said to send someone over immediately to receive the supplies!"

"Okay, let's gather the supplies we found. We'll hold our ground for a while and wait for the people from the regiment headquarters to arrive before we continue our journey!"

Chu An was not in a hurry for this trip. The mine was right there, and he would not run away whether he went early or late.

But these supplies must not be left here.

It would be a shame to blow it up, so it would be best to leave it there and let Group C move away.

About an hour later, people from Group C arrived.

Chu An just said a few words to them and then led his men on their journey.

"The Flower Planting Family has entered the mountains to hunt us down. We're not far away, and our superiors have ordered us to be on high alert.

In addition, our superiors have asked us to provide as much food and ammunition as possible to the troops coming to us!"

There is a small town south of the mine.

At this moment, in an ordinary stone brick house in the town, several Vietnamese officers are holding a meeting.

Originally, there was only one public security company here, but on the second day of the war, an infantry regiment of an elite division was sent here to garrison.

The reason is also very simple.

When there is no war, the mine only needs to maintain order.

This place is dozens of kilometers away from the border, so there is nothing to worry about.

But now that the war has begun, iron ore, as an important strategic resource, must be strictly guarded against.

What's more, the territory of Yue State itself was small, and it was plundered several times, and many resources were also taken away. Now all that is left are treasures.

"Providing supplies is simple. No one from the Flower Growing Family has come to our rear yet. The transportation route is not interrupted, and we have been trying our best to store supplies in the past few days. I am now worried that the soldiers from the Flower Growing Family will target us.

According to reconnaissance reports from the front lines, the Flower Planting Family soldiers are only three or four kilometers away from us! "Didn't the higher-ups say our intelligence personnel embedded within them reported back that their target for this sweep is the five-kilometer area on both sides of the highway they've already captured?"

"How can this be believed? Even though our area is beyond their clearing range, the importance of the iron mine is well known to both us, the enemy and us!"

“Yes, we must increase our vigilance.

Also, don't leave the troops who come to us to ask for supplies idle; have them assist in the defense and keep watch from the perimeter!"

"Cuckoo~"

Late at night in the jungle, a burst of bird calls suddenly appeared.

Soon after, a squeaking sound came from the front.

A moment later, two figures approached in the jungle.

"Password!"

"Go up the mountain to fight the tiger, return the order!"

"The Vietnamese devils have no mother!"

"The password is correct. Which unit are you from, brother?"

In the jungle, the people ahead did not come out directly, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who were exploring the way quickly replied: "C Regiment, Special Forces Company Reconnaissance Platoon, which unit are you from!"

"So you're from the C Regiment's Special Forces Company. Your Captain Wang is from the same hometown as me. Is your Captain here tonight?"

"Our company commander's last name isn't Wang. Don't even try, brother. Where are you from? Speak your hometown dialect!"

"Hey, I'm from the Northeast!"

In the jungle, the two exchanged slogans and tested each other.

After two rounds of tug-of-war, they approached each other and showed their IDs.

There is no way. Although the reconnaissance platoon is still wearing our army's uniforms, in today's war, in the wild and forests, the most unreliable way to identify people is by their clothes.

On the night the war broke out between the Vietnamese devils, some people changed into our army uniforms and started causing trouble. After they were divided into small groups, this action became more rampant.

If you don't check and verify carefully, you won't even know how you died.

But Chu An, who was squatting in the back, looked at his watch and felt a little helpless.

It's past one in the morning.

But now they were less than two kilometers past the T-bar.

But this is the fourth time we have encountered friendly forces tonight.

On the Kou T side, there are many mountains and dense forests, making it very inconvenient to search. Therefore, whether it was the C Regiment or the regiment that attacked Kou T together with the C Regiment, after entering the mountains, they all took the approach of occupying advantageous terrain and waiting to capture the Japanese.

"Hey, comrade, did you see any airdrops falling along the way? The Vietnamese devils are giving out treats tonight!"

A cadre who was guarding here came over and chatted with Chu An for a few words, then spoke to Chu An with a smile.

"I picked up two batches!" Chu An also laughed.

He now has no idea what the Vietnamese devils' top leaders are thinking.

Our army started to clear the mountains during the day. Now many Vietnamese devils don’t even dare to come out to dig wild vegetables. What’s the use of missing the airdrop now?

How much can the Vietnamese devils pick up?
I’m afraid that most of them won’t be picked up by us in the end.

After chatting for a while with a smile, Chu An separated from them.

They were still more than ten miles away from the iron mine, so they didn't have much time to waste.

Chu An and his men sneaked all the way and did not go straight to the target area, but moved along the area within five kilometers of the highway.

He knew that such a large-scale order of our army could not be concealed from the Vietnamese devils.

And they definitely won't be able to reach the mine tonight.

Therefore, staying within the clearing range can reduce the chance of being exposed.

And after dawn, Chu An was not ready to leave.

He planned to take his men to occupy some advantageous positions on the spot and pretend to be a team to wipe out the enemy during the day.
