War Military: From 1978

Chapter 106: The deputy division commander is traveling together and concealing the communication!

The soldiers did not expect that Deputy Division Commander Ma would be accompanying them.

Everyone was extremely shocked, but no one could question Deputy Commander Ma's decision.

Just like before, Chu An wanted to go without a guide, but he didn’t approve.

Now that he wants to participate in the prisoner-capturing operation and lead the team personally, Chu An has no right to refuse.

"Lao Ma, the wine is warming here, you must come back!"

The regiment commander held Deputy Division Commander Ma's hand tightly.

The team leader did what he said and has already bought two boxes of Moutai.

They opened the bottles one by one and placed them next to the campfire with firewood still added, using the residual heat from the fire to warm the wine.

"Ok!"

Deputy Commander Ma simply nodded heavily, and then he gave the order to the two teams in front of him: "Move out!"

Immediately, the deputy company commander and Chu An took their men and moved.

They followed Deputy Commander Ma and ran out under the moonlight.

Afterwards, after arriving outside the camp, Chu An's team separated from the deputy company commander's team.

The two teams' penetration points are different.

What they had to do was to cross the jungle from somewhere in the mountains at the regimental headquarters and enter the enemy territory, and survey the dozen or so high ground within the target range.

Chu An and others now have to run nearly five kilometers first, and then directly penetrate into the enemy territory through the mountains to reach the target area for capturing prisoners.

The time has been arranged. Chu An and others now have one and a half hours to reach the border of the infiltration point, and then another two and a half hours to reach the foot of the isolated peak.

"Huh? Lao Ma leading the team? What the hell are you doing?"

In the C Regiment, after Deputy Division Commander Ma led his men away, the regiment commander and the committee members and others hurried back to the regiment headquarters to make a phone call.

Before, Deputy Division Commander Ma did not allow them to fight, so they could only hold it in and had no way to report it.

Now that Deputy Commander Ma is gone, they must report it immediately.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone call was connected and they explained the situation, the division chief of staff on the opposite side instantly raised his voice.

Soon afterwards, the commander came over to answer the phone!

"He's messing around. How could a deputy division commander lead a capture team?

And you guys, what the hell are you doing? You actually let him go!"

The commander on the opposite side was also cursing!

The regimental commander immediately said helplessly: "Division Commander, you know Lao Ma. During the liberation, the Japanese surrendered, but he chased them for dozens of miles with a knife to kill them. Now he is issuing orders on behalf of the division headquarters stationed in the regiment. What can I do!"

That’s right, Deputy Division Commander Ma participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but he was not very old at that time, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the war of resistance ended before he killed a few Japanese devils.

"Damn, this old horse!"

Obviously, after hearing what the regiment commander said, the division commander on the opposite side felt a little helpless.

"Should we call them back? If we leave now, we can catch up with them!" The team leader spoke again.

Suddenly, the division commander fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, the division commander said helplessly, "No need. Now, make a plan quickly. Arrange a platoon to change their route and get halfway back to meet them there!"

It was obviously not a wise move to call the deputy division commander back now, because the scouts from the division headquarters had been out for an hour.

Unless the C Regiment gives up the prisoner-capturing operation.

But the plans have been made, and giving up is not an option in terms of the overall situation.

Why should both sides act together to capture prisoners?
This in itself increases the success rate.

He could not guarantee that the divisional scouts would be successful if they went there.

If Group C fails, Group C still has a chance.

On the contrary, if the plan of Regiment C was cancelled, the division headquarters would fail, which would mean that the entire division's prisoner-capturing plan had failed, which was unacceptable to the division headquarters.

It is also unacceptable for the current strategic progress!
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

The phone was hung up in a hurry, and then the team leader and others hurried to the table to study the retreat route of Chu An and his team.

"Right here. This hillside is right on their return route.

And it's facing this road
If the Yue devils come to support this high ground, they will definitely block them here. We will arrange for people to go over and provide support here!"

Following Chu An and his men's retreat route, the chief of staff quickly found a suitable place to meet them.

The straight-line distance from Chu An and his team's capture target is about two kilometers, and it looks about the same distance from the border line on the map.

Of course, this was the straight-line distance; if they really wanted to go there, they'd have to go in circles. "Send a secret report to Deputy Division Commander Ma and his men. Also, who do you think should be sent?"

"Let the Fourth Company send a platoon!"

"Platoon leader, there's a secret report!"

Walking in the desolate mountains and wilderness with the half-moonlight above his head, Chu An suddenly heard someone speak behind him.

Chu An immediately turned around and took the headphones.

The scouts' training time was too short. Although they had practiced some secret language, it was not enough to support secret language communication.

So even though he was carrying the 884 radio at the moment, he hurriedly called Chu An after hearing the secret code.

Soon, Chu An put on the headphones and pressed the radio button a few times to indicate that the communication had begun.

As the ticking sound continued, the team stopped moving.

In just a moment, Chu An put the content of the communication into words in his mind.

"What did you say?"

At this time, Deputy Commander Ma, who was walking over from behind, spoke.

"Report, the regimental headquarters communication said..." Chu An glanced at the fellow villager next to Deputy Division Commander Ma, and then he continued: "The regimental commander said that they have informed the division headquarters about your departure, and the division headquarters ordered us to continue the mission!"

"I know!"

Deputy Division Commander Ma spoke in a bad mood, and then he gave the order directly: "Go, keep moving forward!"

"Yes!"

Chu An silently took off his headphones and returned them to the soldier carrying the radio.

He concealed part of the secret report on a whim.

If there is nothing wrong with this fellow villager, he can apologize to Deputy Commander Ma and this fellow villager later.

But on the other hand, if something really goes wrong, then this connection may be a way for them to come back alive.

The team moved forward again, and Chu An took a few quick steps forward.

At the moment, their group of fourteen people were actually walking very separately.

Leading the way was the deputy squad leader of the second squad, followed by an engineer about twenty meters away. Chu An was at least fifty meters away from the engineer.

Behind Chu An, about 20 meters away was the soldier carrying the radio, followed by the deputy division commander and the fellow villager.
One after another, there is a little distance between each other.

Even now we are still within the country. If we cross the border later, we will have to follow their scout rules.

When taking action, everyone will be a little further apart to ensure that they are separated by a distance of forty to fifty meters.

This is because if they are dispersed, the target will be smaller and less likely to be targeted. Another very important reason is to prevent someone from stepping on a mine and implicating others.

Time passed slowly. After the secret communication was completed, there was almost no conversation among the marching team. Everyone was staring at their surroundings intently and hurrying on their way in silence.

Only the soldiers leading the way in the front will switch positions with those behind from time to time.

Finally, about ten minutes before half past twelve, Chu An and others arrived at the designated entry point ahead of time.

You can see that right in front of you is a small river winding through the valley.

This small river was originally the border line that divided us and the Vietnamese devils.

At this moment, Chu An raised his hand and rolled up his left sleeve.

After he was promoted, he was not only given a combat uniform, but also a mechanical luminous watch.

This watch strap has a luminous cover that can be embedded on the outside of the watch glass, which will emit a clear and stable green fluorescence at night.

However, during tonight's operation, Chu An took off the luminous mask.

If your hands are glowing in the middle of the night and something happens, wouldn't that expose yourself?

"Commander, we are ten minutes early. Do you want to take a break?" Chu An looked at Deputy Commander Ma and his fellow villager who were walking over.

At the moment, both of them looked a little tired.

Time is unforgiving. Even if they were walking at the back of the team without having to clear the way, the several kilometers of climbing over mountains and crossing rivers would be enough to make two elderly people, who weigh at least 100 people combined, tired.

Deputy Commander Ma looked at the fellow villager, but the fellow villager hurriedly said: "Commander, I can do it!"

"Okay then, go ahead!"

Chu An didn't say anything, but just looked at the second squad leader and made a gesture.

The second squad leader immediately turned around and put down his backpack!
The river below is not wide, only six or seven meters.

We have checked out the spot today and we can build a rope bridge so that only one person needs to go into the water!
