The troops assigned tasks and set off that evening.
Our army's agent company has a total of seven platoons, and the sniper company has four platoons. Therefore, two agent platoons and one sniper platoon formed a unit, walking eight kilometers to the left and eight kilometers to the right of the base of the combined battalion and stationed there.
The remaining three agent platoons and two sniper platoons were naturally placed at the base. However, the sniper platoon did not defend the base, but lurked along the border in two directions: left and right.
As for the safety of the combined camp... there are three agent platoons and a tank battalion inside, so there is no need to worry about sneak attacks by Vietnamese agents.
What's more, I believe that the Vietnamese agents at this time are not capable of launching another sneak attack... This does not mean that they have no combat effectiveness. On the contrary, I think that the quality of the Vietnamese agents can fully maintain strong combat effectiveness.
But... they consumed too much ammunition in the last sneak attack. This can be deduced from the course and time of the last battle and the remaining ammunition on the corpses of Vietnamese agents.
Agents... They infiltrate into our army to fight, which means they can't get enough supplies. In the past, this might have been just a small problem... Our army has such a long supply line, and just hijacking an ammunition truck is not enough.
That's enough.
But these are extraordinary times, and I understand that the Vietnamese army agents do not dare to do this... The Vietnamese army also knows this very clearly, because once the ammunition truck in any direction is hijacked or attacked, then we will know that the Vietnamese army is
The location of the military agents is large, and even equipped with armored vehicles, we will quickly arrive at the scene of the accident.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army could only lie dormant, secretly watching us in the depths of the jungle with a small amount of ammunition and food, just waiting for us to reveal our flaws.
Of course, I will give them this flaw. But not now!
However, these Vietnamese agents were really patient. As the days passed, the injury on my shoulder was almost healed, but there was no movement from them. Even during this period, I relaxed my guard twice and they still remained.
There was no movement.
"Battal Commander!" After two weeks passed, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but feel a little shaken: "Do you think the Vietnamese army agents will... go around somewhere else?"
I understand what Zhao Jingping means. You can rest assured on this section of the border that we are responsible for... On the one hand, it is the lurking of our sniper company and the patrol of the armored vehicles of the agent company. On the other hand, the border guards have also set up reconnaissance companies in various strategic locations.
Hidden, it can almost be said that this border area is surrounded by water.
But... the area we can defend is only about 20 kilometers long. This section of the border is not short, but the total length of the China-Vietnam border is more than 500 kilometers... As long as they bypass our defense area, they can return from other places.
Arrived in Vietnam.
But I think this is unlikely... The reason is that the Sino-Vietnamese border area is full of high mountains and dense forests. It seems to us that it is only about 20 kilometers away. If we walk in the forest, we don't know how many days it will take to get around it.
What's more, the Vietnamese army still has many wounded soldiers... Just like our army had more than twenty soldiers injured with varying degrees of severity in that battle, the Vietnamese army agents as the attacking side should have more wounded than us.
Of course, the Vietnamese agents can choose to leave these wounded people behind...but I believe they will not. The reason is that they only have about two platoons left. If they leave another 20 or 30 wounded people behind...then they will not be able to make it back alive.
There are not many left. What's more, soldiers who can become agents should be said to be a kind of wealth, a precious resource that cannot be given up at will.
So I believe they will recuperate in the jungle... As for how to recuperate. Many Vietnamese army agents are like Chen Yiyi, who know which herbs can reduce inflammation.
So what are they waiting for? I couldn't help but frown... They should take action now!
"Battal Commander!" At this moment, Zhang Zuoliang ran over excitedly and reported: "The target has been found. In the direction of the platoon..."
"Oh! What's going on?" I asked.
"It was discovered by a sniper!" Zhang Zuoliang said: "The sniper reported that he saw two Vietnamese agents secretly observing the border situation with telescopes on Highland 723! It seems that they wanted to break through near Highland 723!"
But I frowned and said nothing.
"Batalion Commander, do you have any questions?" Zhao Jingping asked.
"Highland 723..." I said: "Highland 723 is only seven miles away from the boundary of our defense area... If the Vietnamese army agents have moved to Highland 723, why don't they persist for a few days and simply bypass our defense area?"
"The battalion commander means..."
"This is a cover-up!" I said: "It is very likely that the Vietnamese army agents have figured out our army's defense patterns, and even know that our army has arranged for snipers to lurk. These two Vietnamese army agents... should be exposed intentionally.
Yes! The purpose is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"How did they know we had snipers lurking?" Zhao Jingping's face was full of doubts.
There is a reason for Zhao Jingping's doubts. Our army's snipers are very careful. They hide in armored vehicles used for patrols and transport them to the destination, and then jump out of the vehicle silently in the dark and sneak into the sniper position.
"I made a mistake!" I said, "I shouldn't have pulled the entire sniper company from the position all of a sudden!"
"Oh!" When I said this, Zhao Jingping and others understood.
Because we withdrew all the snipers, the Vietnamese army on the front line felt relaxed during this period. So of course the Vietnamese army knew that we had withdrawn the snipers... Then why did these snipers withdraw? No need to think about it.
You know, the purpose of withdrawing at this time is to deal with Vietnamese agents.
This is also the reason why the Vietnamese agents have been lurking and dare not take any action... They know that we have snipers lurking in the dark, so how can they dare to act rashly!
"What should we do now?" Zhang Zuoliang asked.
"Then there's still a question, just use the trick!" Zhao Jingping said: "This is an opportunity for us, move the troops towards the 723 Highlands, pretend to have fallen into the trap... and wait for the Japanese to come out!"
I shook my head: "I'm afraid this won't work! You must know that the Vietnamese army only has two platoons... We have snipers on one side, armored vehicles on the other side of the special agent company, and border defense troops on the other. We don't need to mobilize troops at all to stop the Vietnamese army.
All the agents were wiped out. So...if we mobilize the troops, it will make the Vietnamese agents suspicious!"
"Then..." Zhao Jingping heard it right, and then said in distress: "Then we can't do anything to attack everyone!"
"Not necessarily!" I said: "It is necessary to use the trick to your advantage, but you can't do it so obviously!"
I pointed to the map and said: "Since the Vietnamese agents are using suspects on the left side of the defense line, their main force should be on our right side, so we should make some small moves on the right side... The Vietnamese army is afraid of attacking our army.
Sniper, then let the sniper make some mistakes, such as accidentally disturbing a few small animals, or breaking a branch, or making a louder noise when switching defenses, so that they know the sniper's position!"
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping said, "Will the sniper be in danger?"
I understand what Zhao Jingping means. If the Vietnamese army knows the location of the sniper, then the next step should be to kill the sniper and then break through...
I quickly shook my head and said in denial: "The Vietnamese agents know that we are equipped with micro walkie-talkies. Killing the snipers also exposes their intentions. So they will choose to avoid the snipers' sight and pass silently... Only Only in this way can they launch a surprise attack and break through our defense line!"
"That's right!" Zhang Zuoliang agreed: "Otherwise our armored forces would have arrived in a few minutes, and the Vietnamese army would have had no chance to break through!"
"So..." I finally concluded: "Our sniper positions cannot be too tight, and we should leave some gaps for the Vietnamese army!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
