War Military: From 1978

Chapter 306 The Special Operations Squadron's First Combat Experience!
"Gag~ Gag!"

In the desolate mountains, unknown birds and beasts emitted eerie cries.

However, this is not a bad thing!
Especially after hearing the cicadas and birds chirping around him, Chu An, dressed in a leaf-covered ghillie suit and lying on the jungle slope, breathed a sigh of relief.

Currently, he is outside the border.

Moreover, it wasn't just him; all forty-eight men left behind by the special operations battalion have now entered enemy territory.

Live-fire drills.

These soldiers all enlisted last year, and they were directly assigned to Regiment C, so they had no chance to see blood or engage in actual combat.

So after training them for more than two months, Chu An brought them here directly.

Routine drills are always fake, just scripts, and there's no real life-or-death crisis for anyone.

But it's different now.

The place Chu An is currently staring at is called Eagle Beak Peak.

The elevation is 385 meters.

There is a platoon of Vietnamese soldiers on this high ground.

Although there are no connecting roads here, and even the seven or eight kilometers on both sides of the border are wilderness and no-man's land.

However, by occupying this area, they can harass our border residents with artillery shells.

Because of this, Chu An made them his target today.

Real-world experience is the best whetstone.

There's a certain sentiment circulating in the military right now.

"A soldier who has never experienced war cannot be considered a veteran."

While this view is somewhat one-sided, it is true that there is a certain difference between soldiers who have experienced war and those who haven't.

Of course, having only trained for a little over two months, Chu An wouldn't take them into any tough battles.

In the special reconnaissance squadron's first battle, Chu An picked on the easy target.

We will use real-world scenarios to test everyone's training results.

For now, things seem pretty good.

At least for now, it seems that after being tormented by him for two months, everyone's infiltration and stealth skills have been trained to a satisfactory level.

The man moved through the jungle without disturbing the birds and animals in the mountains.

"Captain, it's 8:30!"

Suddenly, a soldier in a ghillie suit beside Chu An spoke in a low voice.

This is the communications officer and bugler that Chu An selected from among the soldiers. His real name is Lin Liushi, and his code name is Wooden Trumpet!
It is worth mentioning that.

Following the example of the special forces TV shows he watched in his previous life, Chu An had all the members of the squadron give themselves a code name.

"it is good!"

Chu An spoke in a low voice.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made two hand gestures.

The next moment, two more figures dressed in ghillie suits stood up from behind the earthen slope where Chu An was.

Clerk and sanitation worker.

They crossed the border at 6:00 AM, and 8:30 AM was the agreed-upon time to begin their operation from their new hiding place.

Right now, the clerk and the medic have retreated down the embankment, while Chu An is looking at a spot on his left with binoculars.

Through the binoculars, Chu An saw a fleeting figure in the jungle.

That was a small team on the move.

Eagle's Beak Peak has a sheer cliff on its north side with a huge drop, making it virtually impossible to climb up from there.

But the other three sides are different.

Therefore, for today's operation, Chu An directly split the already divided team into three groups, allowing them to ascend the mountain simultaneously from the east, west, and south.

at the same time.

On a mountain peak about three kilometers away from Eagle's Beak Peak on our side of the border, about two hundred meters high, a group of people were hiding on the back slope of the mountain.

The division chief of staff, the deputy division commander, a few people from the reconnaissance section, and a guard platoon.

"Good, that was a skillful throwing knife!"

At the top of the hill, three 40x binoculars are now placed here to better observe the special reconnaissance squadron's first live-fire exercise.

Right now, the deputy division commander couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after seeing a small team's movements through this high-powered telescope.

In his view, a small team that had gone up the western hillside reached the mountainside when two Vietnamese patrol soldiers came down from the front.

Upon discovering this situation, a small team immediately used their ghillie suits to split up and lie in ambush.

Then, when the two men were only seven or eight meters away, several members of the lurking squad suddenly jumped up and threw out daggers.

In addition, two other people rushed forward as soon as they threw their daggers.

Before the two corpses could tumble down the mountain path, he rushed up and caught them. Silently, the two Vietnamese soldiers coming down the mountain were dealt with.

"Chu An's training is really good. It's their first time seeing blood, and they look just like veterans!" At this moment, the chief of staff also spoke up.

He also saw what had just happened using a high-powered telescope.

"The operation was really swift! And the formation wasn't disrupted at all!" Xiao Jianping added.

To be honest, he was a little envious.

Chu An felt that the soldiers he trained were in no way inferior to the reconnaissance soldiers in the division's reconnaissance company.

But he knew that Chu An's troops were not only skilled in combat.

They are all high school graduates, educated, and have good academic performance.

This is a unit with a very strong learning ability.

Their direct combat effectiveness is now no weaker than that of their reconnaissance soldiers.

If they also learn other knowledge quickly.

what is that?
That's a versatile unit.

They're all incredibly talented!

Unfortunately, his envy was useless.

Although Chu An was his deputy, he was really just a figurehead.

The reconnaissance team followed the division headquarters, but they only looked to Chu An!
Before forming this unit, he had worked in the reconnaissance section.

After that, I stayed with this unit.

Moreover, the chief of staff is now directly in charge of the situation of this unit, and there is no need to discuss anything with his superior.

At the foot of Eagle's Beak Peak, Chu An was unaware of his superior's thoughts.

He is currently leading a group of clerks and others to go up the mountain.

Nearly half an hour has passed, and not a single shot has been fired on Eagle's Beak Peak.

This made Chu An very gratified.

His task for them today was not to fire a shot until they reached the summit.

If they fire, it means their mission has failed.

"Captain, mark!"

Suddenly, the messenger walking in front of Chu An pointed to a certain spot, turned around, and exclaimed in a low voice.

Chu An said irritably, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

There are Vietnamese soldiers on the mountain, and they will definitely lay landmines around the foot and waist of the mountain.

The path Chu An and his group are taking up the mountain is the same one taken by a small team. Landmines discovered along the way have been marked with small flags.

Of course, even if they had markings, Chu An wouldn't be careless.

When bad luck strikes, it's not uncommon for you to step on a landmine even if there's a group of people walking by in front of you.

Chu An, a soldier who came from the battlefield, was very steady.

"Alright, let's change people. Fountain Pen, you go first!" Chu An turned around and gave the order to the clerk.

The men following him don't need to participate in the battle today.

However, it is necessary to let them train in this kind of real-world environment.

Even if a team has already passed by here.

Being in enemy territory, and seeing marked landmines everywhere, it must be very stressful to be at the forefront.

"Yes!"

The clerk, who was originally walking behind Chu An, took a deep breath and then carefully watched his feet before stepping forward.

Heading upwards.

Chu An looked up every now and then, and he could already see that a team of soldiers was about to reach the summit.

But they stopped just as they were about to reach the summit.

Today, the troops were divided into three groups. Chu An's battle plan was that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, if one group could ascend the mountain silently, they would all move together at 9:15.

Using agreed-upon times as the guiding principle is somewhat unavoidable.

But now we have no choice but to do so.

Although the special operations reconnaissance squadron had no shortage of radio equipment.

Each squad is equipped with 861 and 884.

However, our radios had a major flaw: the Vietnamese had the same model.

Once used, it could very likely expose itself directly.

Therefore, the radio is disabled as long as no gunshot is fired.
