War Military: From 1978

Chapter 237: Disapproved Plan!
The reconnaissance platoon now has only two squads left at the station.

And the number of students in the two classes is not large.

There are only seven people left in Class 1, eight people in Class 3, a total of fifteen people.

But there are still twenty new recruits to be trained, and at least one person must stay behind to carry out the mission.

However, in Chu An's opinion, it doesn't take many people to capture a prisoner.

Now the Vietnamese devils are gathering at every checkpoint, in other words, directly on the border.

It's like stealing something from your neighbor's house. It's very close, and as long as you are quick enough, a whole class of people are enough.

The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed.

"Captain Chu, this is the battle plan. Please implement it as soon as possible!"

Less than an hour after Chu An returned from the regimental headquarters, the combat unit delivered the combat plan.

Chu An opened it and frowned on the spot.

He looked up at the combat staff officer who had not left yet.

The other party also saw Chu An's expression and immediately said, "Is there anything inappropriate?"

The operations unit is not very polite to other subordinate companies or even battalion-level units on a daily basis.

Because they are the regimental headquarters and an important organizational department in the headquarters.

The combat plan for the entire regiment is formulated by them and then submitted to the chief of staff and the regiment commander for reference, and can be implemented once approved.

It can be said that the battle plan they brought was the result of their own will and brainpower, and was also recognized by the chief of staff and the regiment commander.

But Chu An is now the brightest star in the whole group after all.

They were all discussing privately whether Chu An would break the record and get the highest authorities to activate the special merit that had been cancelled.

After all, Chu An did make great contributions in the previous counterattack.

One first-class merit is definitely not enough to highlight Chu An’s achievements, and more than one would be better than directly using the special merit.

Of course, this was just private gossip among their cadres, but it was enough to soften his attitude towards Chu An.

The strong are respected everywhere.

"Have the Chief of Staff and the Regimental Commander agreed to this battle plan?" Chu An asked in a deep voice, frowning.

The operations officer said, "The Chief of Staff agreed. The regimental commander isn't here today. What's the matter? Is it inappropriate?"

he asked again.

Chu An didn't say anything, just looked at him again, then took out the map and put it on the table.

Soon, Chu An silently lit a cigarette.

At this moment, he really wanted to curse.

It’s no wonder that on the battlefield, you often hear soldiers from the battalions and companies below scolding the cadres in the headquarters.

Especially their combat units.

You know, they only need to use their brains and look at the map to make plans, but the actual execution is done by the soldiers below.

If they make mistakes or their plans are not well formulated, it can be fatal on the battlefield.

"What are you thinking? Is it necessary to run so far to capture a prisoner?" Chu An took a few puffs of his cigarette, calmed himself down, and then pointed at the map on the table and spoke in a bad tone.

At this moment, Chu An was pointing to a place at least four kilometers south of Pingguan Mountain.

This place is not far from the three-way fork in the road that Chu An and his men captured when they entered the Vietnamese territory.

To be honest, Chu An really wanted to get angry.

What the hell is going on? The border is full of Vietnamese devils. It is no exaggeration to say that if you stand on the No. 4 high ground of Pingguan Mountain and pee with the wind, you may be able to pee on the Vietnamese devils at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, you asked me to cross mountains and rivers and run four kilometers to capture a prisoner.

Yes!
The plan says it's good.

Considering that there are a large number of mines on both sides of the border checkpoints, especially on the roads in the Vietnamese territory, the large number of mines laid by our army may not have been cleared by the Vietnamese. In addition, the Vietnamese on the border are too defensive and there are too many of them, which is not conducive to action and the success rate is low.

Therefore, if we change to a farther location and raid the outposts in the Vietnamese territory, the success rate will be higher.

But they never considered how long it would take to cross mountains and rivers with a captured Japanese soldier?
What will the Vietnamese devils do if they find out that someone has been kidnapped and they chase and block them along the way?
These four kilometers of climbing over mountains and ridges were not four kilometers on the highway. In previous battles, we had also taken the main road, but we had never touched these mountains.

The terrain was just based on a verbal description from border residents. They said it was traversable and not difficult, and it was expected to return in two and a half to three hours without any obstacles!

It's just nonsense.

Even if they could return in three hours, it would be extremely dangerous for their group to be alone in enemy territory for three hours with a prisoner.

Apart from anything else, on the Vietnamese side, you can often see helicopters flying around.

Although it seems that these helicopters dare not approach the border, and these helicopters are currently transporting supplies.

But if a helicopter joined the pursuit, they would be dead.

"Captain Chu, we have calculated the success rate.

The Vietnamese army is now gathered opposite two checkpoints. If we start from point A, the straight-line distance on the map is 3.8 kilometers, and the actual distance should be around 5 kilometers.

According to border residents, three hours is enough to return home from this distance.

In these three hours, the Vietnamese troops at the two checkpoints would not have enough time to provide support and stop them.

Moreover, this outpost is just a small one.

According to the reconnaissance information from our superiors, there is only about one squad of Vietnamese troops stationed here. As long as you capture the prisoners secretly, even if the enemy troops happen to pass by on the road, as long as they don't chase you immediately, you can return calmly.

And~!”

Having said that, he glanced at Chu An and continued to explain: "We will also arrange a platoon of troops to cover you at point C. If there are really Vietnamese devils chasing you, they can stop the pursuers!"

Point C is a forest highland on the return route in the plan, about 2.5 kilometers from the border.

"Why did you take off your pants to fart!" Chu An didn't bother to talk to him about whether the helicopter would come or not. He frowned and said, "Can't you just arrest them at the checkpoint?"

“In the plan.”

"Forget it, let's go, I'll go find the chief of staff!" Chu An was too lazy to talk to him.

He is just a staff officer in the combat department, there is no point talking to him.

If you want to change the battle plan, you can only find the Chief of Staff.

"Eh~!"

The staff officer looked at Chu An and wanted to reach out to stop him, but Chu An ignored him.

Chu An did not agree with this battle plan at all.

Going far away instead of near may seem like a good idea, but it’s actually a big problem.

First, the terrain has not been surveyed, so the round-trip time cannot be determined.

Secondly, who knows if there are any Vietnamese devils who like to hide in the woods.

If they do, they can't expect to come back.

Third, the Vietnamese helicopters.

Although the Vietnamese devils' helicopters are not flying towards the border now, it does not mean that they really dare not.

After our army declared victory in its withdrawal, it was obviously impossible to fire at their helicopters for no reason.

The scouts were not really gods. The Vietnamese devils had heavy machine guns on their helicopters, so they had no chance to dig holes or drill holes in the mountains and forests.

On the contrary, it would be much easier to directly capture the Vietnamese devils who are very close to the checkpoint.

If you catch someone and come back quickly and secretly, by the time the Vietnamese devils realize that the person is missing, the Vietnamese devils on this side may have already started to "tell their true feelings."

In addition, the most important thing is that the distance is close enough and the tolerance for error is large.

Even if I'm discovered and the mission fails, the worst that can happen is I can retreat quickly and try again in another place.

Anyway, the Vietnamese devils are now moving towards the checkpoint.

There are so many of them staying at the border.

The sentries in various places, who ran out to solve urgent problems, could be treated as targets by the Japanese, and even a small number of patrolling soldiers could be treated as targets.
