Chapter 63: Operational Plan

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

...

The cadres in the regiment walked in with mud and water, saluted me, and then consciously surrounded the table. But perhaps because I was beaten up just now, you gave me a wink, and no one dared to speak like this.

"This is the plan!" Seeing that the soldiers were almost here, I put forward the detailed combat plan that had been sorted out in my head and said, "I need a company familiar with water and an elite unit of a squad!"

"Captain! Are you going to beat those damn guys?" Hu Biao could no longer hold back after I said this and asked impatiently: "I knew the leader would come up with a solution sooner or later, let me get it right!"

"Hey!" When Hu Biao said this, Li Guoqiang was not happy. He raised his head to Hu Biao and said, "I'm talking about Battalion Commander Hu! Who was complaining in front of his brothers just now, and being surrounded by the puppet army was so angry? Why? What he said was all the opposite?"

With a coaxing sound, the warrior laughed relaxedly.

But before he could laugh for a while, Wang Xin stopped him and said, "Comrades, please stop interrupting, listen to the team leader assigning tasks!"

"Yes... no interruption!" After being reminded by Wang Xin, the soldiers responded: "The regiment commander assigned tasks, let's just execute them!"

"Yes! The leader said that we can fight whatever we want!"

"Whoever interrupts me will be anxious..."

Looking at the anxious look of the soldiers, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, pointing to Beihanjiang and said, "The march route is here..."

"Here? Beihan River? Are we going to swim..." Hu Biao, who was impatient, just spoke, and found that the soldiers around him were staring at him with vicious eyes. Then he remembered that he had just said, "Whoever interrupts me will be anxious with me?" So he suddenly stopped talking, but he always said something straightforwardly. At this time, he felt very uncomfortable after holding up a few words.

"Do you think we want to go swimming, right?" I said the rest of the words for Hu Biao, and Hu Biao nodded as if he was relieved.

"It's not swimming, it's diving!" At this time, Li Pinghe ran in from the tunnel and answered, saying, "We have all forgotten how the puppet army agents avoided the search of the guard battalion, didn't they? Fortunately, Commander Cui still remembered that he thought of this method..."

As he said that, Yang Yang used a few infusions that he had just taken from the sanitary staff, which were like hoses.

"Oh..." After hearing Li Pinghe say this, looking at the hose in his hand, the soldiers suddenly realized.

"Good solution!" Wang Xin said with joy: "The puppet army *** regiment is in trouble this time!"

Li Guoqiang slapped his head and said, "My head is really stupid! I was the one who took the 7th Company and Captain Cui to search for puppet military agents! I saw them hiding in the water with their own eyes with rubber tubes, why didn't I think of this method!"

"If you can think of this, then you won't be the company commander, right?" Hu Biao responded to Li Guoqiang like revenge, turned around and said to me jokingly: "Yes! Commander..."

With a coaxing sound, the soldiers were amused by Hu Biao's stupidity again.

"This is my plan!" After a while of laughter, I said to the soldiers: "First of all, after it was getting dark, we sent an elite force down the North Han River and sneaked to the 522.1 Highland where the puppet army and the main force were located. After getting ashore, we disguised the puppet army and infiltrated the enemy's inside, striving to destroy the puppet army's headquarters and blow up its ammunition depot in one fell swoop!"

"Destroy its regiment headquarters and blow up the ammunition depot?" All the soldiers couldn't help but gasp when they heard this mission.

Indeed, this task seems to be a bit too demanding. No matter how elite or powerful this army is, it is not easy to destroy the *** Tuantuan headquarters, and it also needs to blow up the ammunition depot...

In fact, such a task is indeed hard to come by. A considerable part of the reconnaissance platoon of the 203rd Division could do this was due to the fact that I dared to make such a bold plan now, which was entirely due to the fact that such a thing was indeed successful in history. Otherwise, even if I had the courage to do it, I would not dare to think so!

This also shows how bold the commander who decided on the plan to attack the *** regiment was...

"Of course!" Looking at the incredible expressions of the soldiers, I continued: "Our mission this time is to build a foundation to destroy the puppet army headquarters, and if possible, then blow up the enemy ammunition depot! Another company familiar with water will all provide them with the equipment they sent, such as turntable machine guns or submachine guns. After the elite troops, they spread the puppet army encirclement through the Beihan River, and then divided into two parts to move here..."

I pointed to the back of the puppet army defense line on the north side of the 585.2 Highland on the map and said, "The most solid line of defense of the puppet army stationed in this area is the steel defense line composed of dozens of tanks in front. It is precisely with these defense lines that the puppet army will relax in building fortifications. In addition, they never thought that we would go around behind them without knowing it. So as long as the soldiers are determined and equipped with powerful firepower, our army is feinting attack on the front to attract the enemy's firepower, the puppet army command has been destroyed by our army, and the ammunition depot may also be blown up by us, and other factors, a company is likely to quickly collapse a battalion stationed in the north of the 585.2 Highland!"

"The regiment commander said it well!" Liu Shunyi nodded in agreement: "There is another advantage in this fight, that is, our army launched a raid from behind the puppet army camp. As long as we are close enough to the puppet army, even if the puppet army's Patton tank has a night vision device, it will not play any role!"

"Yeah!" I nodded, and I actually thought of this. We who have used night vision devices know that modern night vision devices can only see the outline of a person with a big sigh, so they can only play a role in the battlefield when the boundaries are clear. On the enemy side, as long as someone fires a gun, it is correct to fire a gun. But once the enemy and us fight together, the result can be imagined.

So at that time, even if some soldiers hold the explosive bag and put it under the wheel of the Patton tank, the tank hands inside may only understand what is going on when the explosive bag explodes...

"Just fight like this!"

"agree!"

"Fight with the *** team and see who is the real tiger!"

...

The soldiers nodded in favor one after another, so they decided on the time of action, the specific steps and signals of the combat, and the plan was decided.

"Captain!" Finally, Li Guoqiang said: "This company is easy to find soldiers who are familiar with water. Most of the soldiers in our regiment are soldiers from the village and have often gone to the river to swim naked. I don't snatch this from others. If you want to destroy the elite troops of the pseudo-legged army, you can choose from our cold gun troops!"

"Yeah!" I nodded and agreed without thinking.

Before this, I thought about choosing from the Cold Gun Army. This is not only because the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army have good shooting skills and excellent military qualities, but more importantly, as a sharpshooter, their psychological qualities will definitely be slightly better than ordinary soldiers. And disguising themselves as puppet troops and infiltrating the enemy to perform such dangerous tasks, it is impossible to do without good psychological qualities!

"You can grab the mission!" Seeing that I agreed, Hu Biao couldn't help but glared at Li Guoqiang with anger and said, "I also want to grab a place to fight the *** regiment headquarters, but I didn't expect you to take the lead!"

Looking at Hu Biao's appearance, Li Guoqiang, who had gotten the advantage, did not talk back to him, and laughed with the other soldiers for a while.

"But there is a problem!" Liu Shunyi said hesitantly: "Should this elite unit bring a few soldiers from the People's Army?"

"Oh!" The soldiers were stunned when they heard Liu Shunyi's words, and then they quickly understood what Liu Shunyi meant.

Disguised as a puppet army! You will inevitably encounter several puppet army interrogating on the road. If no one can speak Korean, then it will be revealed in just a few seconds!

"Just..." Li Guoqiang said with some embarrassment: "Can the people's army's guides... go?"

"Why can't you go?" Hu Biao looked at Li Guoqiang with confusion: "I think they are not bad either, for example, Li Yongen, has good military qualities!"

"What's the use of good military quality?" Li Guoqiang replied: "It's not possible to speak Chinese. I don't have a tacit understanding with us. I'll have a long time to understand what to say. If there is a war..."

I understand what Li Guoqiang means. This elite unit is going to walk among the puppet soldiers without changing its expression. The guides of the People's Army either have poor psychological quality or have poor communication with the soldiers. Failure to communicate means there is no tacit understanding between each other. This seems like a small matter on the surface, but in that environment, it is very likely that something big will happen!

After thinking about it, I knew what to do, so I raised my head and said, "Then let me go. The battle on the 585.2 high ground is temporarily commanded by Deputy Commander Liu!"

"This is not good for the leader..." Everyone dissuaded: "This is too dangerous! You can't let you go no matter what you say..."

"Yes! Commander!" Li Guoqiang also persuaded: "We can go to the People's Army's guide to pick it up, but maybe there will be something right!"

"I can't say there will be something right?" I smiled wryly and shook my head, "Comrades also know that the guide of the People's Army was assigned to our troops because he knew Chinese. Speaking of military qualities, there is no comparison with ordinary soldiers of our 538th Regiment, let alone cooperate with soldiers of the Cold Gun Army! Take them with you? What if you can't hold on while diving? What if you are exposed in the puppet army? He is exposed alone and will also implicate our entire raid force and even the entire combat plan. Can we put the entire regiment in danger just because we are alone?"

When I said this, the soldiers all lost their voices.

"Stop talking nonsense!" I finally made a decision: "I am the only one who is the most suitable. I know Korean and have a good understanding of the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army. My military qualities are quite reasonable, and of course I can speak Chinese..."

With a coaxing sound, the soldiers all laughed.

"If the regiment commander's military qualities are just right, then we are all children playing every family!"

Hu Biao's words once again attracted laughter from the soldiers, so the matter was settled.

The action time is 7:00 pm.

The reason I set the time so early is because I am worried that there is not enough combat time. Although we don’t seem to be doing much, every link takes a lot of time to complete. For example, after the surprise attack troops went down the river, they had to sneak down two kilometers down the Beihan River, and then disguise themselves in the 522.1 highland, etc....

This forced me to set the operation time to an inappropriate seven o'clock, when the puppet army usually had not yet gone to bed.

Seeing that the time was almost over, I put away my pocket watch and snatched out of the tunnel with the selected twelve soldiers from the cold gun troops.

It was not that I deliberately arranged the number of people like the reconnaissance platoon of Yang Yucai in history, but because after thinking about it, I also felt that only twelve people were suitable. Because the patrol troops of the puppet army are usually in squads, there were not many or many teams of twelve people in the puppet army group, which was not easy to attract the attention of the puppet army.

This made me deeply admire the volunteer army in history. Even the number of people was calculated so accurately, it could be said that I had put a lot of effort into it.

Actually, I didn't expect that was more than that. After I made a big battle plan, I was unwilling to pay attention to other details. Later I found out that there were many things I didn't consider.

For example, the water depth of the Beihan River can determine the length of the rubber tube by the depth of the water; for example, the rubber tube will not float on the river surface by itself, so a small piece of wood is tied to the rubber tube as a float. There are also models of rifles, military uniforms of the puppet army, how to waterproof guns and ammunition...

It was not until when we set out that Liu Shunyi explained these things to me one by one, and I realized that I had missed a lot of things. Fortunately, there was a careful assistant like Liu Shunyi, otherwise we would have to be busy at this moment, and we might even have to postpone the action time.

It's very dark and cold on rainy nights.

We had nothing but a pair of shorts to cover our shame. Because of this, Lin Xue and Jin Qiulian were very sorry to be unable to participate in this mission.

The military uniform of the puppet army was rolled tightly into long strips and tied to the waist with raincoats and raincoats. It was not difficult to get this. We only need to find a few puppet army corpses with similar figures and then strip them off their clothes. According to Li Guoqiang, who is familiar with water, tying the clothes and raincoats around our waists can give us some buoyancy, which can keep us balanced in the water. As for whether we will sink into the water, we don’t need to worry about this, because the rifles and ammunition wrapped in tarp cloth on our backs will bring us enough weight.

The big bean-sized raindrops hit us. At first, it felt a little itchy, but then it disappeared because we had to concentrate all our energy in front of us or under our feet to avoid slipping or dizzying into a group of puppet troops.

There are several searchlights on the south bank of the North Han River at the ferry, which are slowly swaying on the inclined surface. However, on such a rainy night, their lights cannot penetrate the rain curtain at all, but instead point us the direction. I was so blind after walking for a while. It was absolutely right to walk towards the third searchlight.

After more than twenty minutes of walking and stopping, we successfully arrived at the target location - the road closest to the Beihan River.

Looking back and forth, I didn't see the tanks of the puppet army, and there was no sign of speedboats on the river. Perhaps it was because of the puppet army that we thought we would not break through this side with the blockade of the Northern Han River, so they relaxed their vigilance. But what they didn't expect was that the one who could make me play this game of dead chess is precisely because of the Northern Han River.

Then Li Guoqiang took out a kettle from his waist like a magic trick, lowered his voice and said, "Captain, let's have a few puffs first, this will prevent us from cramping in the water!"

As he said that, he didn't care whether I agreed or not, and then unbuttoned the lid of the kettle and handed it to me.

The fragrance of rice wine came to my nose. I couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang in confusion, and secretly wondered where this guy got the rice wine. It was said that Koreans lived a difficult life and had difficulty in wanting to have enough food. Where could there be excess rice and grain to make wine?

But at this time, I didn't think so much. I put my mouth on it and took a few sips, then passed the kettle down.

"Hey! Good thing! It's better to be a company commander!"

"Drink less! This is brought by the company commander's family through hardships. Only by going to bed can I take a sip! "

...

Listening to the soldiers' comments, I understood the origin of this pot of wine, and couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang with some apology. My sips just now were really too strong...

Li Guoqiang smiled at me, took the wine pot that was sent back to his hand and shook it. He found that there were still many, so he asked, "Captain, have a few more mouthfuls!"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. It would be fine if I didn’t know, but now I know that, can I still drink it?

After waved his hand, Li Guoqiang took out a hemp rope. The soldiers grabbed one by one and followed one by one and leaped towards the Beihan River next to the road. With just a few "bangs", the soldiers stepped into the mixed river water one after another.

The river water is not in a hurry, which is the characteristic of all rivers in North Korea. Even though the rainy season makes the river water much deeper than before, I can't help but feel a little relieved, because at least I don't have to worry too much about the soldiers being washed away by the river.

Under the leadership of Li Guoqiang, we walked a deep into the river. After a while, the cold river water disappeared across our necks. So the soldiers took out the rubber tube and slapped it in their mouths. The other one with small wooden blocks tied to the other end floated in the river water, and then lowered their heads down...

The whole world is quiet! The sound of wind, water, and the vague sound of gunfire disappeared without a trace at this moment, and only the raindrops hit the water gently thudding. At this moment, I couldn't help but be intoxicated, as if I was far away from all wars and smoke!
Chapter completed!
