War Military: From 1978

Chapter 240 A chance encounter at the border!

It was drizzling. It was only the end of February in the lunar calendar. Even though we were in the southwest, the temperature wasn't high at midnight, especially on a rainy day like this.

With their bodies soaked and a gust of wind blowing, everyone felt the coldness invading them.

But no one cares about this now. At most, they rub their hands, curse the horrible weather under their breath, and then start doing their own work.

Chu An took out a four-fold scope carefully wrapped in waterproof cloth.

Next to him, the third squad leader also took out a night vision telescope which was also placed in a waterproof bag and wrapped with waterproof cloth.

Now is not the pre-war period. After the counterattack, our army has fully demonstrated the skills of our veteran revolutionaries and our equipment is not made by the enemy.

After the first battle, not to mention Chu An and his reconnaissance platoon, even ordinary front-line infantry companies could be equipped with one or two night vision binoculars.

But, in this damn weather, even with night vision binoculars, the visibility in the middle of the night is only 70 or 80 meters.

I have to say, it is definitely not a good time to go on a mission at night.

Wang Xiaohu and his group of eight were moving very slowly, almost all of them were crawling on all fours.

This is where they use a mine detector to explore as they walk.

There are mines on both sides of the river here, and even booby traps buried in this small ditch.

But now there is no water.

The Vietnamese devils threw wood into the water at irregular intervals every day. After the wood floated downstream, the mines in the water were triggered long ago.

But the landmines on both sides of the strait are not so easy to clear.

Especially in places like this that can be directly seen from the Pingguanshan Heights, if the Vietnamese dare to come to clear mines during the day, we will dare to give him a volley of bullets.

They can only move at night.

For example, now, when Wang Xiaohu led his men across the river and they had only touched less than a hundred meters.

About a hundred meters to the left of where Wang Xiaohu and his companions came ashore, some vague silhouettes appeared in Chu An's sight.

The distance was too far, and the night vision scope could only vaguely see a blurry person over there.

The third squad leader saw Chu An looking in one direction, so he also looked over with a telescope, and then he exclaimed in a low voice.

"Company commander!"

Apparently, he noticed it too.

Chu An squinted his eyes, but still couldn't see clearly.

"Contact the Second Battalion and ask them to fire two shots from the southwest of Hill No. 4!" Chu An turned around and whispered.

The lack of light at night causes the visibility of low-light-level night vision goggles to be too low, but there is actually a way to increase it.

Such as now.

Pingguan Mountain is the highest mountain nearby. If a shell explodes on it, the moment the explosion light appears, the visibility can still be increased.

"it is good!"

The third squad leader nodded hurriedly.

He was a little excited. He thought that there would be no chance to defeat the Vietnamese devils tonight and all the limelight would go to one group. He didn't expect that the Vietnamese devils would appear under his nose.

He quickly contacted the first squad, informed them of the situation here, and asked them to temporarily stop advancing. Then he contacted the second battalion on the high ground!
Then, it took about two minutes.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two explosions were heard southwest of Hill No. 4.

Immediately, Chu An saw it clearly.

There really were Vietnamese devils, and there were quite a few of them, at least twenty or thirty of them.

It was also a small mound in the jungle, and they were now on the west side of the mound.

At this moment, when they saw the explosion and fire, they all fell down instantly.

But Chu An still saw that they seemed to be digging the ground before they lay down.

"Contact the squad leader, inform them of the situation, and have them move over there.

Also, inform the Second Battalion!"

Chu An turned around again and whispered an order, then turned around and started setting up the cannon.

Although the distance is a bit close, the closest striking distance of the Type 82 is only 85 meters.

They still have about a hundred meters to go to Chu An's current position.

In other words, the two-door 82-force can also be powerful.

Although this is a bit wasteful, he still uses the Type 82 rifle to hit a distance that a pistol can reach.

But there were only twenty or thirty people on the opposite side, and they seemed to be digging fortifications. Chu An was worried that he would not be able to defeat them in one blow with his gun.

At this moment, he just wanted to say that life is unpredictable and everything goes wrong!
These Vietnamese devils are so unlucky that they have now found themselves right under his nose.

They deserved to die. Of course, this couldn't really be considered a surprise.

The Vietnamese devils must have wanted to use this small hill as a cover, dig fortifications, and bombard our positions from the side.

In Pingguan Mountain, because our army occupied the high ground and most of the troops were on the back slope, even if the Vietnamese knew that our army was guarding the mountain, they would have no way to use mortars from the front.

So if they wanted their artillery shells to have any effect, they could only attack our defenders on the high ground from the side.

Naturally, our army would not fail to see such an obvious loophole.

It's just that our military strength is limited. It's impossible for us to station troops along such a long border line, and it's even more impossible for us to advance all the way into the Vietnamese territory and maintain territory level with the highlands.

Therefore, mines can only be buried along the border line, especially in areas near the checkpoints, and the use of mines is extremely large.

But now these Vietnamese devils moved so quickly but did not step on the mines.

You can tell with your feet that they must have secretly cleared the mines here before.

Chu An set up both mortars.

The light machine gun they were carrying was also aimed at that direction by the deputy squad leader of the third squad.

Chu An and the other nine were ready for battle in an instant.

But it is not time to fire yet.

They didn't forget to take prisoners.

We have to wait for Wang Xiaohu and the others to get closer.

There was no way to charge forward in this kind of haunted place.

If they don't get closer, Wang Xiaohu and the others won't be able to rush over and catch the person immediately.

But this time it was also very fast.

Only ten minutes.

Wang Xiaohu and the others sounded as if they were ready.

"Okay! I'll count to three!"

Chu An lay on the slope with a gun in his hand.

Behind him, two scouts held artillery shells and placed them on the gun barrels held by their comrades.

"three!"

"Second release!"

"Boom, boom!"

Two soft sounds echoed in the mountain forest at night.

The Vietnamese devils who were still busy digging a hole over there obviously heard it as well.

But don't wait for them to react.

"grumble!"

Over at Pingguan Mountain, a flare was launched.

Subsequently.

"Boom~Boom!"

At this moment, explosions were heard from at least a dozen places in the jungles and mountains on the Vietnamese side.

When Chu An gave the order, he did so while holding the communicator.

This was not only said to the comrades around him, but also to Tong Lianzhong and others.

The muddier the water, the easier it is to fish.

"Da da da~"

The sound of light machine gun fire rang out amid the artillery fire.

Then, in the jungle opposite Chu An and his team, the sound of grenade explosions suddenly came.

This is Wang Xiaohu and his team using grenades to clear the way and clear mines.

"Ah! There's an ambush!"

"Quick, quick, retreat!" Twenty or thirty Vietnamese devils were hit by two artillery shells and a round of strafing. In an instant, only a few lucky ones were left screaming in panic.

"Chirp!" At this time, a flare behind Chu An hit the sky directly.

At the same time, all light machine guns and rifles stopped firing, only Chu An, who was holding the SVD sniper rifle, was still shooting.

If they wanted to keep some people alive, they couldn't just keep firing at that direction with light machine guns and rifles.

"What's going on? What went wrong? Quick, find out!"

At this moment, in a cave about three kilometers away from here, several Vietnamese officers hurriedly began to make phone calls or use radios to contact the scattered troops.
