War Military: From 1978

Chapter 239 The feeling of being a father
"Humph! He simply doesn't take us seriously. Is it so great just because he has done great deeds?"

In the combat section room not far from the headquarters, someone with a grim face made this sound.

Some people laughed awkwardly, while others expressed their shared hatred for the enemy: "Exactly. The commander has signed the battle plan. Can he just question it just because he's been credited with something?"

Chu An did not hide the fact that he came to see the chief of staff with the battle plan at all, and even came directly in front of the staff officer who delivered the battle plan.

Therefore, this situation made the staff in the combat unit a little unbearable.

They felt that Chu An was blatantly questioning their abilities.

However, the door they were in was actually open, and they also saw Chu An's back as he left the headquarters.

But they could only hum a few words in the house, and no one chose to go out to stop Chu An and say anything, and no one suggested going to find the chief of staff.

And Chu An actually never looked at them from beginning to end.

He had never had much contact with the combat department before, but the combat plan just now was enough to make him annoyed.

If he hadn't come to see the chief of staff and carried out the order, if something had happened, he would have been gone with a squad of scouts and never returned.

Soon, Chu An returned to the company and began to call the battalion headquarters at the two checkpoints to inquire about the details of the current situation there.

Then, he thought for a while and began to write his battle plan.

This time it was a small group assault operation, and because Chu An chose to do it right on the border, the plan was very simple.

There was a deputy squad leader from the engineering platoon, a squad from the reconnaissance platoon, and himself, a total of nine people.

The location of the operation was set to be two kilometers from the west side of Pingguan Mountain across the border, and then they would act according to circumstances. The plan only stated that they would try to capture prisoners and withdraw them within one kilometer of the border line.

Before dinner, Chu An's plan was approved.

However, the final battle plan was modified by the Chief of Staff.

That is, the nine-person attack team became eight people, and the person who led the team to carry out the mission was changed from him to the squad leader Wang Xiaohu.

In the words of the Chief of Staff, you are temporarily unable to leave the country to carry out this kind of mission.

You are now a hero of the counterattack war who is widely publicized in the country. If you sacrifice your life in Vietnamese territory while carrying out this cross-border war at this time, it will only boost the momentum of the Vietnamese devils and destroy our own prestige.

This is no longer just your business, nor can it be decided by your personal will. It concerns national interests.

The chief of staff's reason was impeccable, so although Chu An was a little worried about Wang Xiaohu leading the team, he had no other choice since things had come to this point.

"Don't worry, Captain. I promise to complete the mission beautifully!"

After dinner, while it was still light and the departure time had not arrived, Chu An gathered the deputy squad leaders from the first squad and the engineering platoon at the company headquarters.

At the moment, Wang Xiaohu looks very motivated, even a little excited, and there is no sign of fear or other emotions on his face.

Chu An stared at him seriously: "Don't be careless!"

He glanced at the others and said, "Although your operation is only on the border this time, we don't know how many Vietnamese devils are hiding here.

So be careful and watch every step carefully. The Vietnamese devils are quite skilled at fighting in the jungle!"

"I know, Captain, don't worry. We won't attack their large force. We just kidnap one person and leave!" Wang Xiaohu was still grinning.

For him, he was really excited when he knew that he would be the one leading the team this time!

He was a little depressed because he didn't get the position of platoon leader before.

Of course, that was based on his military achievements. If his military achievements were not as good as others, he would have nothing to say.

But now there is an opportunity to lead a team to carry out a mission, which is a rare opportunity for a squad leader.

As for being afraid of something, that doesn't exist.

After so many battles on the battlefield, I'm afraid this kind of thing would have been lost long ago.

Chu An glared at him: "I'm talking about you. Don't think it's easy to lead a team. When you lead a team, you are not just leading it alone. You are responsible for the entire team. Everyone's life is in your hands. So when carrying out a mission, use your brain more!"

Chu An brought up the issue directly. Chu An was a reborn person, so his real age was more than eighteen years old, but this guy was the same age as himself, but he was not a reborn person, he was really eighteen years old.

Although he had experienced war, young people were still young people after all.

"Yes! I promise to pay attention!" Wang Xiaohu also restrained his lively expression and saluted seriously.

Chu An ignored him.

He looked at the deputy of the first squad: "Lao Liu, you are older, keep an eye on him!"

The deputy commander of the first squad is a demobilized veteran.

"Okay, but I believe the squad leader can lead us to complete the task well!" The deputy squad leader smiled.

Chu An was not infected by his smile, and his eyes turned to Wang Xiaohu again: "Remember, if you are exposed in advance, turn back immediately.

The border is long, and we have many opportunities. As long as you're alive, you can immediately change your location and capture prisoners on the other side after you return. Don't fight to the death. Everything should be carried out according to the plan!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaohu responded with a serious face.

Then they went back to prepare.

Chu An silently lit a cigarette.

At this moment, to be honest, Chu An felt like a father watching his child about to go on a long journey.

All along, he had always led the charge on the battlefield, but for the first time, he let his subordinates charge on their own.

I felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

But in the end, Chu An could only smoke silently.

time flies.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, several trucks carrying supplies drove out after unloading from the C Regiment's base.

Heading west, when the convoy passed Pingguan Mountain, the last car in the convoy suddenly slowed down.

One after another, figures jumped out of the car quickly under the cover of night.

There was no sound of conversation, and the figure who got off the car quickly disappeared into the jungle on the side of the road.

"Captain, we're going!"

At the foot of a forested hill on our side of the border, Wang Xiaohu spoke to Chu An.

Yes, Chu An is here too. Although he cannot lead the team, there is a support team in the battle plan.

This team is composed of Chu An and the soldiers from the third squad.

"Well, remember my words, be careful!" At this time, Chu An didn't say anything more. He gave a final reminder and watched Wang Xiaohu and his men continue to move forward. Then he led the third team to quickly move up the hill on the side.

There is a small river to the south of this forest hill, and this river is also the border between our country and the Vietnamese devils.

It’s just because there is no road here and the mountains are rugged, and this place can be directly monitored from Pingguan Mountain, so there is no one stationed here at all.

Of course, none of this matters now.

Now that Chu An led his men up the mountain, he quickly began to build a combat position on the back slope of the mountain top.

At the same time, two Type 82 mortars and a light machine gun were quickly placed by Chu An and others.

Support definitely requires firepower, although the support team led by Chu An is not large in number.

But with this firepower, even if a company comes from the opposite side, Chu An is confident that he can stun them with the instant opening of fire.
