War Military: From 1978

Chapter 111 The spy war against the devils!

The last kilometer of the jungle went by without incident.

The Vietnamese devils actually set up an ambush on that small path on the cliff.

The scene that Chu An had predicted and seen before was that most of their prisoner-capturing team had passed by, and then after he was on the rear, a rope was suddenly dropped from the cliff behind them.

Then a group of Yue devils slid down with guns in hand, and at the same time the lone peak opposite also opened fire with machine guns.

The scene was so horrific that they couldn't bear to watch it, so Chu An directly fired at the opposite hill.

In fact, he didn't see anyone at all, and the other party was not stupid. Chu An and others had not fallen into the trap yet, so how could they show up?

But they were indeed there, so after Chu An and his men fired at them, they thought they were really exposed, so some of them couldn't help but fight back.

Of course, even if they didn't fight back, the trap wouldn't have worked.

Chu An was sure that there was someone there, so no matter what, he would not continue to leave here today.

"Boom~Boom~"

The sound of artillery shells exploding continued to be heard from all over the jungle.

This is the revenge of the Vietnamese devils.

The captured group ran away, and twenty or thirty of them were killed. They were obviously very angry, so they called in long-range artillery fire and fired at this side indiscriminately.

"Hurry up! Let's evacuate!"

Here is the river that marks the boundary between the two countries. Now there is a simple bridge made of trees.

It was done by the people arranged by Group C to meet here.

A deputy regimental commander was in charge here personally. After seeing that Deputy Division Commander Ma was safe, he was obviously relieved.

He hurried over to support the obviously exhausted Deputy Division Commander Ma, but Deputy Division Commander Ma didn't say anything to him. He just opened his mouth and ordered: "Go, retreat quickly!"

The mission failed tonight, although they didn't suffer any loss.

However, combat missions are not evaluated based on whether or not there is a loss. If a combat mission is not completed, it is not completed.

Not only did they fail to complete the task, they didn't even reach their target destination.

Chu An was in the last group to withdraw with Tong Lianzhong.

Watching Tong Lianzhong directing the crew to hurriedly dismantle the bridge made of trees, he also turned around and stopped to look in the direction they were running back.

This was his first time fighting abroad, but the result was a heavy blow to him.

He sacrificed two comrades who trained, lived and played with him.

The scenes of the past emerged one by one, and even where he was standing, Shen Xiaoshan smiled and grabbed a handful of soil from his motherland.

Chu An also said at the time that the land we fought so hard for will bless everyone.

But now.
Looking back at the figure in front of him who was put down by the soldiers of the second squad and then carried away on a stretcher by his supporting comrades, all kinds of emotions that he had ignored before due to the tension of the combat came to his mind.

"Let's go! Don't just stand here. The enemy's artillery fire hasn't stopped yet!"

Tong Lianzhong then put his hand on Chu An's shoulder, grabbed him and retreated.

Yes, the enemy's artillery fire has not stopped. Not only has it not stopped, they have also arrogantly extended the artillery fire directly into our territory.

Although Chu An and his men were not hit by the bombing, they could hear the sound of artillery explosions around them all the way back to the base.

"Comrades, don't be discouraged. Although the mission tonight failed, it's not your fault!"

In the courtyard of the medical team that had moved to the regiment’s headquarters, the regiment commander and chief of staff came in person to everyone.

Now, only seven people including Chu An are still standing in front of the regiment commander and the chief of staff.

Deputy Division Commander Ma, the deputy squad leader, and two other soldiers who were hit by shrapnel in the subsequent battle are still receiving treatment inside.

In fact, some of Chu An and the other seven people also suffered some minor injuries. For example, Chu An also had a three or four centimeter cut on his face.

I didn't feel anything before, but I felt the pain on the way back.

But the medical staff simply cleaned and disinfected the wound, and then put a patch on it. That was it.

The same was true for the other six people. They only had some minor injuries, which were dealt with simply.

The regimental commander spoke again: "Comrades, you have been very brave tonight. You were attacked from both sides by the enemy, but you still held on to the end. No one gave up the fight, and no one collapsed in the battle!
Comrades, I am proud of you!"

After a pause, he looked at Chu An again: "Comrade Chu An, I want to praise you tonight.

At the same time, I apologize to you on behalf of the family!

It was our failure to heed your advice that led to the loss of two brave soldiers tonight. We bear a great responsibility for this!"

Chu An was speechless.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't really speak.

The team leader said they were wrong, but were they really wrong?

In fact, from the perspective of soldiers, they are not wrong.

There is no such thing as death in war.

I am worried that my fellow villager is just guessing and I don’t have any evidence.

And the mission is the mission. Everyone’s starting point is correct. It’s all for the mission and for victory.

It's just that the enemy is too cunning. They took great pains to plant a spy and even did a lot of work to conceal the spy's identity perfectly. They even deliberately brought a daughter with them to increase our trust in them.

It can only be said that it was a mistake for the higher-ups to choose to believe these refugees, but Chu An also knew that these refugees who had fled here were an important source of intelligence for us to obtain from the other side.

Because the enemy had been on high alert for a long time, and their "border cleansing" operations had really driven away almost all ordinary people in the border areas.

It is now extremely difficult for us to disguise ourselves and infiltrate to obtain intelligence.

If a stranger goes in, he will be exposed immediately.

However, due to the long-term peace and friendly relations, we basically did not regard them as enemies, so we had no defenses against them and did not collect any intelligence from them.

The simplest point is that if we do not collect intelligence from the refugees, we may not even know which Vietnamese unit is defending the opposite defense zone.

How can we fight a war like this?
Therefore, the situation is very difficult now. If we trust the refugees, there may be enemy spies among them who have deliberately set traps.

We don't believe it, and it's extremely difficult for us to obtain intelligence ourselves.

In the absence of satellite photography, various drones, high-tech reconnaissance methods, some sacrifices are bound to be unavoidable.

Of course, Chu An knew the overall situation, but he was still saddened by the sacrifice of his comrades, and even felt a little unable to let it go. It was just that he didn't know who to be angry with.

"Comrade Chu An, just say whatever you want to say. If scolding us makes you feel better, then go ahead and do it now!" At this time, the chief of staff noticed Chu An's mouth opening and closing, and he looked over and spoke.

"I..." Chu An opened his mouth, but in the end he just asked: "Can the two of them accomplish anything?"

curse?

What's the point of cursing? If cursing could change the outcome, Chu An would be cursing loudly now.

"Okay, of course we can. They are heroes, and we will definitely reward them this time!" The team leader nodded solemnly.

This time, Chu An and others may not be able to achieve any merit, after all, the mission failed.

But the two comrades who died were different.

This is a person who sacrificed his life for the country, so he must be given credit!

"Ok!"

Chu An nodded, then lowered his head and fell silent.

There is nothing more to say.

"Okay, just go back and have a good rest!"

At this time, the team leader gave another order, and Chu An immediately ignored the queue discipline, looked back at the others, and then turned around and left with everyone.

The regiment commander and the chief of staff watched this scene and were powerless to say anything.

When we returned to the special forces company’s base, the team led by the deputy company commander had not returned yet.

This made Chu An a little worried.

But worrying about it now won’t change anything.

All we can do is wait.

It was not until dawn that Chu An received a notification that the deputy company commander and his men had returned.

But the situation was also very bad. The deputy company commander was shot and fell into coma. A scout from the third squad took the initiative to cover the enemy and divert their attention in order to buy time and opportunities for everyone, and he died.

During their retreat, they only heard the soldier named Wan Zhihong shouting "Long live the motherland", followed by the sound of a glorious bomb exploding.

This was a very painful blow. The artillery reconnaissance team did not bring any fellow villagers with them, and their purpose was not to fight at all. They just wanted to sneak into the enemy territory to scout the coordinates of the high ground.

But the result is still so tragic.

Chu An and the other deputy company commanders went to see him after he regained consciousness.

According to him, they had been hiding well, but they themselves didn't know when they were discovered.

By the time they realized something was wrong, they were almost surrounded by the enemy.

The enemy must have been on guard for a long time and had placed secret sentries everywhere.

Chu An only got confirmation from the company commander a few days later.

According to the company commander, the action that night was not actually an action of his division headquarters.

It was a surprise operation organized by our superiors who wanted to take advantage of the fact that the enemy still believed that we would not cross the border.

That night, several capture and reconnaissance teams were organized, but in the end, most of the reconnaissance missions were not completed, and only one capture team managed to capture prisoners.

This is because the enemy had long known about our actions through spies and had made preparations in advance.

Even if the reconnaissance team basically did not bring any fellow villagers, the result would be the same.

Because the enemy had already deployed spies on various high ground and hilltops at the entrance, and even had a large number of troops lurking around those outposts that were easy targets.

It can be said that Chu An and his team did not succeed in reaching the target outpost. If they had really gone there, even if they had reached the outpost, they would not have been able to bring anyone back across the border.

Obviously, this was a failed operation and the Vietnamese devils used spies to teach them a lesson.

But this also served as a reminder to the higher-ups, who subsequently issued an order to fully investigate the spies who had infiltrated.

But this kind of thing is very difficult to deal with. Although some spies have been caught, there are still some who are hiding so deeply that you have no way to find them.

For example, the border villages on the border.

Some Vietnamese spies came here a few years ago and lived with us border residents.

They have had ideas about us for a long time. They have planned actions in the early years. Some of them even came here simply to live, but now they have been developed into spies.

You can never get to the bottom of this kind of thing.

Therefore, what can be done in the end is to conduct internal inspections within the military and formulate a series of preventive measures.

"Boom~Boom~"

After flying over the hill, one shell after another hit the farmland three or four hundred meters behind Chu An and his team.

Chu An, who was climbing on the cliff, looked back.

"These bastards are here again!"

Below him, other scout soldiers cursed out loud.

Although the sacrifice of their comrades made everyone sad, as soldiers, they could not always be immersed in grief. They could only turn grief into motivation and work harder in training, so as to avenge their comrades in the next mission.

However, the Japanese devils are becoming more and more arrogant, and there are constant shelling sounds along the entire line every day.

Some of them were indiscriminate, but many of them were directed at border villages and schools.

In just a few days, the property losses and civilian casualties on our side skyrocketed.
