War Military: From 1978

Chapter 112 The eve of the war!
As time passed, the Japanese devils became more and more arrogant.

After mid-December, they were no longer satisfied with shelling targets within our territory.

They also began to lay mines and dig traps in some areas of our territory, and this behavior has even gone beyond the border line.

Chu An and his team were stationed not far away, at least four or five kilometers from the border, and a border resident stepped on a landmine while walking on a normal road.

"I'm telling you, get out of here. You're standing on our territory now. Not only here, but also Guangdong and Guangxi are ours. Wherever the kapok flowers bloom, they belong to us. If you don't leave, we'll attack you!"

This is the voice that is now widely heard on the border.

At positions close to us, the enemy Vietnamese soldiers shouted with loudspeakers, and at some ports, they directly used these words to provoke our personnel in person.

They even deliberately made some leaflets and had the enemy spies drop them on the places where our border people gathered.

They wanted to scare away the border residents.

In the face of this behavior, the troops also took action. Not only Chu An and his scouts, but also some scouts were selected from ordinary companies to wait in various places to prevent the activities of the Japanese devils and enemy spies behind enemy lines.

There was an effect, and enemy spies were captured one after another.

However, this prevention still failed to completely eliminate the various activities of the Vietnamese devils behind enemy lines.

They are like a group of cockroaches now. You don't know where they are hiding. Even if you catch one, there are still many more hiding.

The level of disgust is maxed out.

Naturally, it also makes people more angry, not only the front-line officers and soldiers, but also the fellow villagers at the border, and even the mainland citizens who learned about the situation at the border through various channels.

Everyone was shouting to fight against the Vietnamese devils.

It was in this context that the Vietnamese devils once again did something big.

On the 25th, they directly invaded Country J on a large scale.

Moreover, this battle gave them a mysterious sense of confidence.

Because it took them only nineteen days to successfully occupy all major towns and transportation routes in Country J, and achieve control over the entire territory of Country J.

As a result, the Vietnamese devils on the border became even more arrogant and kept trying to occupy our border territory.

When Chu An was confronting them on the front line, he often heard their cheers and arrogant voices.

They shout that they are the third most powerful military power in the world, and that if you, the flower-growing countries, do not honestly hand over Guangdong and Guangxi, then Country J will serve as a lesson for you.

To be honest, when Chu An looked back at this history in later generations, he didn't actually have much feeling at the time.

Because the few words in history only describe that we won this war.

There is no statement at all about what is happening now.

But now that he is on the front line, Chu An is so angry every day that he wants to use cannons to attack them.

They are too arrogant.

However, although he couldn't use cannons now, Chu An knew that this time was not far away.

Because now there are a steady stream of troops from the rear heading towards the front line every day.

Trains come one after another.

Tanks, cannons, anti-aircraft guns, and various facilities and supplies are all being transported to the front line.

The front of Chu An's regiment headquarters was originally a militia training ground, but it is now filled with various combat supplies.

Even the temporary cave dug behind the regimental headquarters is now filled with ammunition.

In addition, some cadets from military academies were also assigned to the regiment.

The infantry company also assigned some translators after careful inspection.

These are still collected from returned overseas Chinese.

Don't stop eating because you are afraid of getting sick from eating.

There may indeed be some enemy agents and spies among the overseas Chinese, but their current role cannot be ignored.

Being familiar with the situation in Vietnam and understanding the Vietnamese language will be useful during a full-scale attack.

And that’s not all. A large number of stretcher teams are also gathering.

At the same time, while everyone was busy with pre-war training and combat preparations day and night, the night film crew came more frequently.

"Heroic Sons and Daughters", "Southern Campaign and Northern Campaign", "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain".
Various exciting movies are played in rotation every night.

It is obvious that this was the way to do ideological work for everyone before the war.

Of course, the effect is also very significant.

In an era of pure thought, people's emotions are easily affected by the plots of these movies.

The young soldiers' passion was completely aroused.

Even though everyone could smell the smoke of the coming war, Chu An didn't hear anyone on the front line say they were afraid.

Obviously, the Vietnamese devils must be fully aware of the situation on our side.

Although the Vietnamese were also preparing for this situation, many of them were still filled with a mysterious confidence. They believed we wouldn't dare to attack them, or even that we were just scared.

I was shocked by their achievement of conquering Country J in 19 days.

Of course, it is not surprising that they have such thoughts, because although we have troops deployed on the border, many of our troops are still understaffed.

After they learned about this, they thought we were bluffing even more.

Moreover, the international community is now full of various speculations.

There was international speculation that we would attack on New Year's Day, but it was ultimately confirmed to be a false alarm. Subsequently, the international community made predictions about several dates, but without exception, they were all false alarms.

With all these factors combined, the Japanese increasingly believed that we didn't dare to take action at all.

It's not just them. Some people within our army are now doubting whether we will really attack.

Only Chu An knew very well that there would be a fight, and that history should return to the timeline he knew.

Previously, the outbreak of various events made Chu An mistakenly believe that the history he knew was unreliable, and even that it was the rebirth of himself, the little butterfly, which led to the fact that the direction of history was no longer reliable.

But now, as time goes by, Chu An knows that the history he knows is not wrong at all. He thought his previous mistakes were just because he did not understand the friction before the war.

In fact, if you think about it now, no large-scale war is fought for no reason. There must be friction before the war.

Just like when you were in school and you had a fight with your classmates, there had to be a reason for the fight!
"I never thought we could celebrate the New Year! Platoon Leader, let me offer you a soda instead of wine!"

January 27th.

Lunar New Year's eve.

This was Chu An’s first year after joining the army, and also his first year on the front line.

Now the whole row sits together for dinner.

There were no fireworks, but the food was rich, with meat, vegetables, candy, oranges and some other snacks.

The only regret may be that we didn’t provide everyone with wine tonight, but now the front line is full of smoke and gunpowder, and the scouts may have missions at any time, so it is impossible to provide something like wine.

At this moment, the third squad leader raised his glass to Chu An, and Chu An also smiled and raised his enamel cup filled with soda.

"Come on! Do it!"

During this preparation period, some people in other units might still doubt whether the war would break out, but for the reconnaissance platoon.

The war had actually started a long time ago.

After the Vietnamese invaded Country J, Chu An and his team received three terrain and enemy reconnaissance missions.

Two of the terrain reconnaissance missions were completed without loss, but during another stealth operation, a soldier unfortunately stepped on a trap set by the enemy, causing a booby trap to explode, which subsequently attracted a large number of Vietnamese devils.

That time, although Chu An and others returned, another soldier was seriously injured and was carried back, but he died before he even reached the field hospital.

To be honest, this year was really unusual for the scouts who went on missions.

Because when everyone went out, they were really prepared for the worst from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, let's not be so serious, let's be happy, it's the New Year!
Besides, there are family members!"

At this time, the instructor who came specially to celebrate the New Year with everyone stood up and raised his glass with a smile.

Immediately, everyone's mood, which had been a little low because of the third squad leader's sigh, suddenly became high!
Lian Chuan immediately smiled and poured another glass of wine. Then he looked at the fourth squad leader and a plainly dressed girl sitting on the side and said with a smile: "Come here, sister-in-law, fourth squad leader, I wish you a happy wedding!"

Yes, there is another family member here today.

The fourth squad leader had not yet married her boyfriend, but she actually traveled thousands of miles to the front line three days ago to marry him.

Naturally, this was a great thing, and the group arranged it for them that night.

This kind of thing happens quite often on the entire front line, but it is the first time for Regiment C.

In fact, during this period before the New Year, many soldiers received the "Blowing the Lantern" letter!
en is a breakup letter.

Some people risk their lives for love, but others choose to stab you in the back.

There are also two in Chu's arrangement.

For this kind of thing, everyone despises and scolds it but can do nothing about it.

It's a personal choice, you can't influence their thoughts who are thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.

However, with bad comes good.

The wife of the fourth squad leader was the best type. She came directly to the front line to find a partner and got married, but there were also many girls who wrote letters to the front line to express their love.

Some originally vague emotions, or even emotions that had not yet reached this stage, were all catalyzed by the atmosphere of war.

Even Chu An received a letter from a girl from his hometown.

Even though he wrote back to the girl his family had introduced to him before, saying he wasn't interested in dating anyone right now, his family still didn't know what to say.

Anyway, a girl named Yun Qiaoqian sent him a letter.

The letter said that although they had not yet gotten married, she had seen Chu An's photo and knew some things about Chu An. Then she said that she did not object to this blind date and was looking forward to seeing Chu An when he returned home after the war.
