The training plan for the Agent Company was decided, but when it was really time to implement it, it encountered difficulties.
The main difficulty is that we don’t know much about the situation of the Vietnamese army, such as where the command center of the Vietnamese army is, where the ammunition depot is located, which supply line is, and what is the supply rule... We can say that we have nothing to do with these.
Know.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. This is the case with special operations. Sometimes, the mastery of enemy intelligence is even more important than combat effectiveness... Because only by understanding these can you determine the target and formulate a targeted combat plan, otherwise you will penetrate into the Vietnamese.
The military defense line can only be like a headless fly.
For this reason, I went to find Deputy Commander Wang...
"Deputy Commander!" When I saw Deputy Commander Wang, I said straight to the point: "That's right. Now the Vietnamese special forces have just been defeated by our army. I think they will not recover so quickly in a while, so I think
...This is the time for us to fight back, and I want to know more information!"
"Didn't I send all the information to you?" Deputy Commander Wang asked a little strangely.
"Um!" I was stunned when I heard this: "You mean... the only information that the Ninth Division has is the only one you sent?"
Previously, Deputy Commander Wang did send some information, but most of them were the numbers of the Vietnamese troops on the high ground and the terrain of the high ground, altitude and firepower configurations. These information may be useful to ordinary troops, but
It is of little use to our agent company.
"What Commander Yang means..." Deputy Commander Wang was a little puzzled by me asking this: "What information do you want, Battalion Commander Yang? As long as we have mastered it, we will definitely not reserve anything from you!"
"Just like the Vietnamese agents are in control!" I said, "Let's say that... For example, the Vietnamese army attacked our military division headquarters a few days ago, then they must have to grasp the location of our military division headquarters in advance and the terrain of the division headquarters.
Facilities and firepower. There is even time for nearby reinforcements to arrive... Only by knowing these, Vietnamese agents can organize an attack, and they can quickly attack and retreat with one hit, and the same is true for us!"
"Um!" After hearing this, Deputy Commander Wang couldn't help but frown: "I understand, what you want is detailed information about some important military targets in the Vietnamese army!"
"Yes!" I nodded.
"But it's difficult to get this information!" Deputy Division Commander Wang shook his head and said, "We are different from the Vietnamese Japanese... We have a large army and the army management is relatively lax. You know this... Although we have already treated the army
We conducted strict inspections and registrations, but we still inevitably let the Vietnamese Japanese get involved in the army!”
I do have a deep understanding of this, and it should be said that it has improved a lot now. After the troops were reorganized, such as the Ninth Border Defense Division, most of the soldiers were verified that they were indeed Chinese before they were incorporated into the army, which greatly reduced the number of soldiers.
The opportunity for the Vietnamese army to intervene in our army... During the counterattack, you can just sign up to speak Chinese and join the combat force at will.
However, despite this... our army still has a huge militia unit. These militia units are responsible for our army's logistics. One group comes up today and another group will be replaced tomorrow. Many people even voluntarily join these transportation units...
...So this component becomes complicated, which also gives Vietnamese agents a soil for survival.
"So..." Deputy Division Commander Wang continued: "It is actually very easy for the Vietnamese army to master the intelligence of our army. We even suspect that... many of the people living on the border are disguised by Vietnamese agents. So we
The important military facilities are like transparent to the Vietnamese agents. So the Vietnamese agents can fight wherever they want! Today is the arsenal, tomorrow is the radar station, the day after tomorrow is the observation center... But we
Woolen cloth!"
Speaking of this, Deputy Commander Wang couldn't help but shook his head: "We are not very prepared at this point... Although there are some agents, there are very few. Moreover, the Vietnamese army drove all the overseas Chinese back to China last year.
This makes it difficult for us to understand the important information of the Vietnamese army!”
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help feeling helpless. Only then did I realize that the gap between us and Vietnamese agents was not just about quality, but about a huge gap from the beginning of the intelligence level.
"If we want to get this information, there is actually a way..." Deputy Division Commander Wang continued: "This method is to capture prisoners, catch the Vietnamese prisoners and conduct interrogation, and then get some information from them. Our army will conduct reconnaissance.
Soldiers often do such things, but..."
Deputy Commander Wang changed his mind and sighed again and said, "The Vietnamese army is much more tenacious than we imagined. First of all, it is difficult to capture prisoners, because they have to capture them alive, and they must be captured alive within the range of the Vietnamese firepower control.
Capture alive... A scout who may not only fail to capture our army's scouts but also suffer heavy casualties; secondly, the intelligence management of the Vietnamese army is very strict, and the ordinary Vietnamese army does not know where the important military facilities are; again... Yue
The military prisoners were stubborn, and even if they knew it, it would be difficult to dig out something valuable from them, or just talk nonsense. So..."
So there is no need to say much about the following... This is the result of our ignorance of the Vietnamese military intelligence now!
After I went back, I told Deputy Commander Wang about these words to Zhao Jingping and other staff members, and the staff members were also stunned... If I don't know any information, how can I fight? It is impossible to let the soldiers of the Agent Company sneak into the Vietnamese army.
Let’s do information in the country... Even if we are willing to do this, it is not suitable. The reason is that the Vietnamese people are women and children except for the elderly. Most of the young and strong men are in the army. If we put on makeup and go to Vietnam...
...It is guaranteed to be suspected immediately.
However, this problem was quickly solved by scars...
"Battery Commander!" said Scar: "It's not that I can't get information, but that the method of making information is wrong..."
"Well, tell me!" I wondered in my heart how I could forget Scar, a person familiar with the Vietnamese army.
"It's like this..." Scar said: "The Vietnamese army is indeed very strict in the management of the army, just as the deputy division commander said... The prisoners caught either don't know anything, or they can't dig up any information even if they are stubborn.
Come out. The Japanese devils are smart, and their requirements for ordinary soldiers are to fight and don’t need to know anything else. Those who can master valuable intelligence are all officers whose political ideas have been tested, so this is how it is.
Some soldiers are different…”
"What soldier?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but rush to ask.
"Public Security!" said Scar: "The soldiers in Vietnam's Public Security are similar to our militia... But although they are militias, they often have more intelligence than Vietnamese soldiers. What is the regular Vietnamese army... That's because
Intelligence information is under control, and most of the soldiers in Gong'antuan were born and raised in the border area. They all know that there is a place that is blocked and not allowed to enter. They are used as ammunition depots. It is precisely because of this.
The soldiers in Gong'an Village are all locals, so most of them have young parents, and they are concerned about them a lot... They are naturally afraid of death. More importantly, a considerable number of them have a relatively vague idea of the country..."
"It's more vague to the country?" I couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?"
"It's like this!" Scar explained: "In the past, our Sino-Vietnam border was not like it is now. Just a few years ago, it was still a 'comrade and brother' relationship, so intermarriages on the Sino-Vietnam border were very frequent, and Vietnamese women came to marry.
, Chinese women marry and sometimes they will recruit son-in-law... They are a bit related to each other, from far or near, and sometimes they don't know whether they are Chinese or Vietnamese! So I think... it's easier to do their ideological work.
Much more!"
"Oh!" I suddenly realized when I heard this and thought to myself, why is Vietnam suffering? I originally had a good relationship with China, but I wanted to do such a thing. Isn't this asking for trouble?
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping interrupted: "The second company commander may be right, but... the combat effectiveness of Gong'antun is relatively weak. The Vietnamese army usually asks them to guard the second line or be responsible for public security... This requires captives to be captured.
…”
I understand what Zhao Jingping means. If you capture the Vietnamese prisoners, it will be relatively simple. After all, there are Vietnamese soldiers everywhere on the front line. Just sneak up and press down a few sentries and carry them back to complete the task...
Of course, this is not as easy as it sounds. However, it is even more difficult to capture prisoners from Gong'antun. This does not mean that they have strong combat effectiveness, but that they have to pass through the defense line of the Vietnamese army and then bring a few living people to the death.
Then bring it back through the Vietnamese defense line.
"There are difficulties!" I said, "But... if there are no difficulties, we agents don't need to do it!"
As I said that, I turned my eyes to Scar and asked, "How is it? Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" Scar stood up and replied.
"Okay!" I said: "The first step of training is to capture prisoners..."
After looking at the map, I continued: "The Vietnamese army has a total of thirteen public security guards in our Nanning direction. In order to dig out useful information and to avoid the Vietnamese army's suspicion, we should divide it into several units.
Choose a few of these thirteen public security sites!”
"Then this coordination aspect..." Zhao Jingping was talking about our coordination with the front-line troops, because the front-line corresponding to these thirteen public security trunks is not all the garrisons of the Ninth Border Defense Division.
"I will handle the coordination!" I said, "You are responsible for making the combat plan!"
"Yes!" Scar, Zhao Jingping and others responded.
So the plan was decided like this, and I had to admit that this surprised me... because I never thought that the agents even took on the task of capturing prisoners. (To be continued...
