War Military: From 1978

Chapter 149 Carpet tactics, hungry wolf troops!
On the hillside, three Vietnamese devils were about 20 to 30 meters apart from each other, forming a triangle and constantly taking turns to cover each other as they advanced.

They are acting very cautiously now, probably because they know that the high ground here has been occupied by our army.

But even if they knew, they had to come now.

This is also the reason why even though scouts undergo brutal training and have strong personal combat capabilities, their mortality rate is still very high.

Even though we know the danger and that there may be enemies ahead, we still have to bite the bullet and lead the charge.

Like Chu An and the others, if the three people below had been faster, they might be the ones lurking here now.

Chu An and the other two were sneaking forward and waiting to be ambushed.

Of course, this situation will not happen to Chu An.

Chu An can predict it, but if Chu An does not have the ability to predict, or if he is replaced by another scout, then it will all depend on fate and luck.

"Papa~"

Suddenly, when the one in front of them was less than thirty meters away from the top of the hill, gunshots were heard from the top of the hill.

Chu An and the other two seized a flaw in the three of them as they were moving hastily, and when the three of them revealed their positions, they simultaneously leaned forward, raised their guns and opened fire.

In an instant, the two Vietnamese devils' bodies stiffened, their eyes bulged, and they fell down the hillside.

Only one person jumped aside.

But it's of no use.

As soon as he fell down, Chu An rushed out from the hillside.

"Snapped!"

Another gunshot was heard. The Vietnamese soldier who was shot in the right shoulder wanted to raise the gun with his left hand, but another bullet hit his left arm.

"quick!"

Chu An looked at him carefully and made sure there were no traps like glory bullets. Wang Xiaohu was on alert, while he and Han Xinyuan went up and dragged the Vietnamese devil, whose hands were both disabled, back!

"Ah!" The Vietnamese devils screamed miserably.

But Chu An and Han Xinyuan ignored him.

The gun has been fired, so it doesn't matter whether he screams or not.

After being dragged back to the hillside, Chu An used the 861 radio to contact the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion who was staying on the high ground at the rear, while Wang Xiaohu ran to be on guard, and Han Xinyuan began to tease the Vietnamese devil.

"Ah~ah!"

Screams were heard behind him, but Chu An didn't even look.

There is no mercy in war. Compared with the Vietnamese devils who have no bottom line, their normal interrogation of the enemy is simply a model war soldier.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Chu An, who had just finished the call, vaguely heard the sound of gunfire coming from upstream.

"Forget it, let's give him a quick death and we'll go ahead and investigate on our own!"

Chu An immediately turned around and spoke, saying that the sound of gunfire could be heard upstream, which meant that supplies were about to arrive.

Since that’s the case, there’s no time to waste here, and Chu An is certain that the people behind these three people must have already gone upstream to occupy an advantageous position.

"Okay!" Han Xinyuan's voice came.

Chu An looked back, but only for a moment, and then said to Han Xinyuan and Wang Xiaohu, "Let's go!"

They didn't have time to deal with the prisoner, let alone take him with them or let him go, so this was the only option.

The three men climbed over the slope in the same way as the three Japanese devils had just moved.

At the same time, just a few kilometers upstream of the river.

Some high ground on both sides of the river is now in the midst of fighting.

But the difference is that the highest of these high grounds are basically under our control.

However, there are not many people on these high grounds, and they are basically just one squad.

But these manpower was increasing rapidly. Soldiers from the second battalion kept rushing up these heights from upstream to join the battle. Then after a while they would directly abandon the heights and retreat, and then advance along the river towards other heights downstream to join a new round of battle.

This is the tactic formulated by Chu An and the team leader.

Troops would be sent in advance to occupy the higher ground along the river that can be seen on the map. Due to limited manpower, the number of troops occupying these high ground would definitely not be large.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if there are only a few people, as the supplies float down the river, the troops in the rear can continue to provide support along the river.

Carpet tactics.

That’s what this operation is all about.

The tactic is just as its name suggests, treating the river and the high ground on both sides as a carpet, guarding the supplies in the river from both sides and rolling them down.

The battle was naturally fierce.

Soldiers continued to sacrifice along the way.

But the Vietnamese devils actually suffered greater sacrifices.

We had deliberately sent some troops to act as spies and occupy the high ground along the way, so that the movements of the Vietnamese devils could be detected in advance.

Moreover, because of the geographical advantage and the cooperation of the large force that swept over, the Vietnamese devils who came along the way to destroy the supplies in the river were basically defeated quickly.

However, this tactic is not without its drawbacks.

The water flow is fixed and the flow rate is not fast. In this case, the supplies floating in the river can also be hit by the Vietnamese devils using mortars from a distance.

Although most of these supplies were canned food, and this situation had been considered in advance, the supplies were separately fixed with ropes on small bamboo rafts made of several bamboos.

But even if the supplies were dispersed, at least 30% of them were lost in the river along the way.

Of course, I can’t care about that now.

Some loss is better than no loss at all.

"Captain, our superiors have ordered us to stop their supply!"

In a cave outside Banz, a Vietnamese signalman quickly spoke to a Vietnamese colonel with a dark face.

With just one sentence, the cave became quiet.

The colonel looked back and saw other Vietnamese cadres in the cave.

But when someone saw him looking over, many people lowered their heads. Only one person stiffened his throat and said, "Captain, Dong S's flower-growing troops are going crazy. A battalion of them is charging straight in. Our regiment..."

"Wow~" The Vietnamese Japanese colonel lit a cigarette.

He was really annoyed now, as his superiors ordered him to intercept the supplies of the Flower Planting Family's infiltration group.

But doesn't he want to do this?

His regiment was inexplicably attacked by the enemy's base camp, and the remnants of the defeated troops escaped. Although they joined forces with the surrounding militia to surround the enemy regiment in the past two days.

But they were actually powerless to do anything about this group.

They were surrounded because their original strategic goal was to occupy their base camp and cut off their road transportation lines from here.

They were just a local armed group, and were caught off guard by this infiltration group, suffering heavy losses in personnel and equipment.

Now that we have run outside, we can occupy advantageous terrain and block their transportation of supplies by relying on the high ground we occupied in advance.

But the enemy has unexpectedly taken a route that they are not prepared for. What can he do?
It was too late to dispatch troops temporarily.

They have already been divided into small groups, and it will take time to gather them together.

Moreover, many heavy weapons are difficult to transport in the mountainous jungles.

In addition, the opponent had occupied a favorable position in advance, although the enemy did not occupy a section of the road here.

But they didn't have much time to gather too many people to occupy advantageous positions and build fortifications.

The most crucial thing is that the enemy they are facing now is a battalion of the infiltration regiment that has been hungry for a day and now knows that supplies are about to be delivered.

This is the real hungry wolf army!

The key point is that this enemy battalion has more people than the ones they have temporarily assembled, and they are blocking the way without heavy firepower.

In this situation, his superiors ordered him to block it.

What can he use to block it?

Even if he jumped over, he would be torn to pieces and eaten alive by those hungry-eyed flower-growing soldiers.
