Chapter 217: The scene

Chapter 217: The scene

The next morning, I, along with Lin Xue, Political Commissar Yang and others, took helicopters to the scene where the radar was bombed.

Of course, we are not here to capture Vietnamese agents. If we can still catch Vietnamese agents at this time, then they are probably the slowest escape agents in the world. The purpose of our visit is to truly understand the strength of Vietnamese agents based on the situation on the scene.

"salute!"

We were greeted by a middle-aged cadre with a mustache. As soon as we got off the plane, he led two teams of fully armed PLA soldiers to line up on both sides of us.

"Battleman Commander Li!" Political Commissar Yang went forward and held his bearded hand and said, "The scene is protected!"

"Protect it!" Battalion Commander Li stepped forward and replied: "Except for the casualties of our army, the rest have not been moved, including the two Vietnamese agents who were beaten to death by us!"

"Yes!" Political Commissar Yang nodded with a stern face and signaled Battalion Commander Li to lead the way.

Captain Li looked trembling and walked in front with his soldiers as if facing a great enemy.

Later I learned that this Battalion Commander Li was the battalion commander of the guard squad responsible for protecting Xin Bolin's gun-aising radar and radar soldiers. It should be said that... it is not easy for him to be a battalion commander as young as him, and it is even more difficult to be responsible for protecting the gun-aising radar that is still the best at this time. It is not difficult for me to guess that this cadre, who was called Battalion Commander Li by Political Commissar Yang, is a bit capable. Unfortunately... the failure of this battle almost destined that he will not have a good life in the future.

Don’t think about promotions or something. At least you will be held accountable for dereliction of duty, and you may even be tried to check if you are a spy from the Vietnamese army…

Actually, I know that he can't blame him for this matter. The Vietnamese agents are prepared to attack. Even if our special reconnaissance brigade is protecting the artillery radar, it may even make the Vietnamese agents succeed, let alone them!

After walking for a while, passing a waterfall and turning two turns along the path covered with banana trees, we arrived at the scene where the cannon-aiding radar was blown up.

Because the battle is only a few hours away, the blood on the ground has not dried out yet, and there are various parts such as iron sheets or screws everywhere. Think of it, those cannon-aided radars that were blown into pieces by the Vietnamese army.

In some ways, this gun-aided radar is also kind to me, because I know very well that if the Battle of Fakashan was not helped, my soldiers and I would probably never be able to stand here. But unfortunately... Before I could see this "benefactor", it was already broken into pieces by the Vietnamese agents!

"Captain Li!" Political Commissar Yang sighed and ordered Captain Li: "Tell me what happened to the attack of the Vietnamese agents! Try to say more details..."

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Li responded, saluted us, and pointed to the bloody spot in front of him and said: "This was originally a camp for radar soldiers, with five tents in total! The Vietnamese army was ready in advance. They buried mines at the exit of the tent in advance, and then two people dealt with a tent in groups, one attacked with a bazooka and the other with a submachine gun. The radar soldiers rushed out of the tent in panic... and immediately detonated the mines and radar..."

"Where were you at that time?" I asked, "Why don't you come here to rescue me right away?"

There is a reason for me to ask this question. Our army has a battalion of troops to protect artillery radars. In this case, although it is inevitable that artillery radars will be bombed, if they surrounded them in time, the Vietnamese agents would never be as simple as leaving only two corpses.

"At that time..." Battalion Commander Li replied with a dead face: "While the Vietnamese army attacked the artillery radar, it also attacked the 160 mortar positions and the command post of our battalion. Our army's communication was completely paralyzed and the order could not be conveyed. So... all the troops fought on their own. Some rescue commands and some reinforced mortar positions, and only a few troops reinforced radar positions... all the agents of the Vietnamese army were wearing our military uniforms. They took advantage of this time to get into our troops and escape!"

"How long has the battle lasted?" I asked again.

"Ten...Ten minutes!" Captain Li was so nervous that he had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, but he seemed to have not noticed this at all, because he focused all his attention on answering my questions.

"Only ten minutes!" Lin Xue couldn't help but repeat in a low voice.

I understand why Lin Xue was so surprised, because even if we were to do this mission by our special reconnaissance brigade, we would probably not be able to do it so perfectly in such a short time. Obviously, they had planned how to retreat at the moment when they started attacking the radar, and found out the position of the command post and mortar positions of the guard team, and then launched the same time...

This may sound very simple, but it must be accurate in terms of intelligence control and coordination between various troops. As long as there is a little mistake, it is very likely that they will be wiped out.

But now it seems that the Vietnamese army has obviously done a very successful job!

"How are our army's casualties?" Political Commissar Yang asked immediately.

"Fifteen people were sacrificed and twenty-two people were injured..."

However, I don’t care about the casualties. As a member of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, I am very clear that the casualties have nothing to do with understanding the quality and techniques of the Vietnamese agents. Special operations are not like our usual positional warfare. In positional warfare, casualties can be used as a result or a criterion for weighing the degree of victory of this battle. If we achieve the strategic goal, we can score a miserable victory, a big victory and a complete victory based on the casualties between the enemy and us... However, special operations are different. It is more important to see whether the strategic goals have been achieved. For example, this time, in fact, our army was defeated at the moment when the radar was bombed, and even if we can completely wipe out the Vietnamese agents... This result is very small compared to the loss of a cannon-aided radar!

The problem I considered was that it would take time for the Vietnamese army to find out the mortar position, the command post of the warning squad, and the location of the artillery radar.

Some people may say that there may be Vietnamese spies in our army. They obtained this information in advance before attacking, but I don’t think this will be the case. The reason is very simple. Before I came, I checked the list of radar troops and guards, and knew that each of them had been strictly reviewed and was not allowed to be mobilized for confidentiality. If there were Vietnamese agents in these people, then the Vietnamese army would not think from the beginning that our army had an artillery observation station on the high ground and attacked a high ground with no military significance.

Then there is only one answer, that is, the Vietnamese army was a special agent, but they guessed the location of our artillery radar, and then sent the special agents into this area for on-site reconnaissance and made plans on-site... However, the Vietnamese army agents had another platoon, and more than 30 people could actually reconnaissance our army's intelligence so surely under our eyes?

Impossible! I glanced at the guard squad under Battalion Li, and it was easy to see from their gun-holding posture and eyes that they were not a group of rookies. It was a bit unimaginable that a unit of more than thirty people had to detect such detailed information under their alert.

So I turned around and asked Battalion Commander Li: "Have you sent someone to search for nearby caves?"

"Search the cave?" Battalion Commander Li asked in confusion: "You mean... may the Vietnamese agents hide in the cave?"

"Let the soldiers search it!" I said.

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Li pushed at me and quickly conveyed the order. Soon a company of PLA soldiers attacked the nearby carpet-style search with bayonets.

"Captain Cui! You are..." Political Commissar Yang was a little puzzled when he saw this.

"I think the Vietnamese agents have been lurking in the radar position for a while!" I replied: "And it is very likely that this time will be one to two days!"

"This... how is this possible!" Battalion Commander Li retorted: "The Vietnamese agents stayed under our noses for a while. In two days, we...will we not find out?"

"Have you ever searched caves?" I asked back.

"No!"

"If there are people among them who are familiar with the terrain and lurk in the cave as soon as they touch it, how can you find it?"

Captain Li was so speechless that I asked, his face turned red and white. I don’t know what it felt in my heart…

At this time, some of the People's Liberation Army soldiers who were searching suddenly became nervous, and then one of them shouted loudly to us: "Battery Commander, discover the enemy's nest..."

"It really is..." At this time, I heard Political Commissar Yang talking to myself, and my eyes were swept toward me.

Captain Li's face turned very ugly as if he was slapped by someone.

I can understand his mood. This is not to say that I was embarrassed by the misfortune of being embarrassed, but to feel that a platoon of Vietnamese agents hid under their noses for so long, but I didn't notice it... This is a great humiliation for anyone, and Battalion Commander Li is of course no exception.

"Search carefully!" After a long time, Battalion Commander Li squeezed out such a sentence.

Soon everything was placed in front of us, with a few submachine guns, a box of bullets, as well as some empty cans and a few packing bags of compressed biscuits... What's even more annoying is that from those packing bags, we can see that these things were all made in China, and it was obviously the ones left by the Japanese devils to show off to us...

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but curse, and Battalion Commander Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth and giggled.

"Political Commissar Yang!" After a while, Battalion Commander Li finally couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. He stood up in front of Political Commissar Yang and said, "I have a request. Let me deal with the Vietnamese agents together! After dealing with the Vietnamese agents, I will be willing to do so... Even if I want my life..."

Political Commissar Yang turned his eyes to me. Battalion Commander Li quickly understood the meaning of this, so he turned around and saluted in front of me, "Chief! Please agree to my request, I... I can't swallow this!"

I walked up and said without hesitation: "As a commander, the most important thing is to keep calm and calm in adversity, so that you can turn defeat into victory. Your performance..."

I didn't say it, but just shook my head gently.

"Chief..." Battalion Commander Li seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for it, but he was soon stopped by Political Commissar Yang.

"Comrade Li Tianyun!" Political Commissar Yang said loudly: "What Captain Cui said makes sense. You should think about your own problems carefully. You are not a new recruit, we are a unit... The unit must have the appearance of the unit and the discipline of the unit. If everyone wants to take revenge and vent their anger in one breath, then what is the difference between us and bandits?"

I didn't continue listening anymore, and turned around and walked towards Lin Xue with Lin Xue with the guards. We had enough information. It was time to go back and think about how to deal with the Vietnamese agents.

Lin Xue whispered: "If it were me, I might have joined!"

"What if he was allowed to join?" I said without any objection: "The training he received was completely different from ours. There was no way to cooperate with other soldiers. We either had to spend a few months training, or we would die more comrades on the battlefield because of him. You choose one!"

When I said this, Lin Xue stopped talking. In fact, Lin Xue certainly knew these principles, but this is her personality. Although she theoretically knew how to train a unit, she could not do something as cruel as I did.

More than twenty minutes later, our group returned to the base. What surprised us was that Liu Shunyi was already waiting for us in the battalion headquarters. As soon as he saw us, he frowned and said, "The superior's order has come down. There are two things to do. One is to escort another cannon and lightning to reach the position immediately, otherwise our army will soon lose the advantage of artillery fire; the other is to solve the Vietnamese agents as soon as possible, so as not to happen again!"

"Where is the other gun aiming radar?" I asked back.

"In Beijing!" Liu Shunyi said: "You bring a unit to Beijing tomorrow. Nothing will happen this time!"

I understand what Liu Shunyi meant, and at the same time, I had long guessed that another radar was in Beijing. This is actually not difficult to guess. Because of the backward science and technology, our country is accustomed to imitating the equipment of other countries in military equipment. For example, most of the weapons are imitating the Soviet Union, and even the helicopters we drove are. Of course, this time there will be no exception, so it is natural that one radar is used on the front line, and the other radar is dismantled and studied in Beijing.

Now that the radar on the front line has been blown up, the one that was dismantled and studied must be urgently transferred to the front line...

So I said to Liu Shunyi: "Actually, we can do two things together, escorting cannons and lightning to reach the position, and then dealing with the Vietnamese agents!"
