Chapter 187 The Purpose of the Vietnamese Army

Chapter 187 The Purpose of the Vietnamese Army

I returned to the base without stopping, and I rushed to the camp without stopping for a moment when I got off the car.

As soon as I walked into the battalion department, I saw Political Commissar Yang. Lin Xue and others gathered in front of the map to discuss something. What surprised me was that Liu Shunyi was also among them.

"Oh! Are you back?" Seeing me walking in, Liu Shunyi waved at me expressionlessly and signaled me to walk forward.

I know Liu Shunyi's temper very well. He is usually kind and polite to others, but if there are any important military information or problems, he is too lazy to say nonsense. On the other hand, this also confirms my previous thoughts, something must have happened.

Sure enough, before I could stand still, Liu Shunyi pointed to the map and said, "This is the thing. According to international practice, neither side shall send troops to occupy the border within 15 kilometers of the border between the two countries. Since our army withdrew from Vietnam after the counterattack, our border defense forces did not implement control of the commanding heights in the border area! So the Vietnamese army took the lead and occupied the strategic cavalry points on the border line first. Fortunately, our border defense forces quickly realized the great significance of these cavalry points to our border security, so they immediately started a fight for cavalry points with the Vietnamese army in the border area and achieved certain victories. The most important point in our Guangxi direction is here...Faka Mountain!"

I have known a little about this for a long time. In fact, the battle between my border warriors and the Vietnamese army for cavalry line points was almost launched at the end of the counterattack, and it was in full swing during the training of our special reconnaissance brigade. Of course, the Vietnamese army must have suffered a loss. The reason is very simple. If we were fighting guerrilla warfare or mobile warfare in Vietnam, our army might be a little overwhelmed, but now it is fighting offensive and defensive warfare in the border area. For us who have an absolute advantage in artillery fire, we can only suppress the Vietnamese Japanese.

However, what does this have to do with our special reconnaissance brigade? Did we even ask us to go to the front line to grab the cavalry line points? This is unlikely. Our army is not used as an ordinary army after such hard training!

Just when I was confused, Liu Shunyi continued: "It is precisely because the enemy and us are fighting fiercely for the cavalry point on the border that there has never been a real peace on the border. There have been constant wars. However, recently some extremely abnormal situations have occurred..."

After drinking a glass of water, Liu Shunyi frowned again and said, "According to the response of the border defense forces on the front line, all the radio stations of the Vietnamese army have been stopped from being used since yesterday; the frontier forces have stopped carrying out any provocative actions on our army; the artillery no longer fires artillery shells at our defense positions and in depth, and the entire border battlefield is surprisingly calm. Just early this morning, Vietnamese agents also sneaked into an artillery position in our army and blew up an ammunition depot..."

"What? Vietnamese agents attacked our artillery positions?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at Liu Shunyi in horror.

"That's right!" Liu Shunyi nodded and replied: "More importantly, this artillery position is still one of the artillery units of the 487th Regiment, which is the force that provides artillery fire assistance to Fakashan. The superiors combined with the abnormal performance of the Vietnamese border, believed that the sneak attack by the Vietnamese agents was targeted and intended strategic preparation, that is, to prepare for their counterattack against Fakashan!"

Speaking of this, Liu Shunyi turned to Lin Xue and said, "Chief Staff Lin, tell me what you know about the sneak attack by the Vietnamese agents!"

"Well, yes..." Lin Xue responded, looking at me with an unnatural expression.

Lin Xue seemed a little restrained from the moment I walked into the battalion. It was obvious that she had not forgotten the embarrassment that night. At this time, Liu Shunyi asked, and had to pull out his military uniform and said, "According to my investigation, this Vietnamese special agent unit is very unusual. Vietnamese special agents are generally divided into three types, one is an ordinary special agent team, also called the early stage or tactical special agent team, which is mainly used to cooperate with infantry, artillery combat and reconnaissance."

I couldn't help but think of the Vietnamese agents who lurked among the Vietnamese people and artillerymen to report our whereabouts when fighting in Vietnam.

"The second type is the secret agent team, also known as the intermediate agent team, which is mainly used to go deep into enemy rear activities and temporarily carry out combat-oriented sabotage missions."

So I remembered the agents lurking in the occupied areas of our army during the day and the people were in the army at night, and some even lurking among our soldiers and migrant workers to launch infiltration wars against our army, blowing up our ammunition depots, attacking our army's supply lines and other activities.

"The last type is the special agent team, also known as the senior agent team. They are the highest-level agent team in Vietnam and are mainly responsible for important strategic tasks of the country and the army, including the dispatch of spies abroad for espionage activities."

I have never seen this type on the battlefield, but then again, even if I have seen such high-level agents on the battlefield, I don’t know that they are high-level agents…

"The special agent unit that attacked us today should belong to the intermediate agent team and the senior agent team." After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Xue continued: "The reason for saying this is because they have the qualities of senior agents, but they are performing the tasks of intermediate agents. Their numbers are small, with only one platoon of troops, and each of them is skilled in Chinese. They answer the sentry's commands correctly from the border to the artillery position, and even answer the other questions raised by the sentry. After entering our artillery position, they even went straight to the ammunition depot. They were discovered by our army when they placed the time bomb, but it was too late. Vietnamese agents fired fire everywhere to create riots. There were even five Vietnamese agents who were desperately guarding the bombs to prevent our army from excluding them, and finally died with the ammunition depot..."

Lin Xue's words sound simple, but as the captain of the special reconnaissance brigade, I naturally know the difficulties. Not to mention the others, it is at least a few kilometers from the border to the artillery position. It is not easy to answer the sentry's questions correctly along the way.

Liu Shunyi continued: "The abnormality of the Vietnamese army on the border and the purposeful attacks on our artillery positions by Vietnamese agents... The ambition of the Vietnamese Japanese is already very obvious. Their target is Faka Mountain under the control of our army. The superiors mean that we cannot wait for the Vietnamese agents to blow up our ammunition depot one by one. This will not only affect the strength of our artillery, but also greatly affect the morale of the entire army. Considering that the quality of this special agent unit of the Vietnamese army is not something that our army can do with, so we thought of you, Battalion Commander Cui, look..."

"The Yue Japanese plays this chess so well!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this.

Liu Shunyi, Lin Xue, Yang and others were stunned by my sudden words.

"Didn't it be..." Lin Xue asked hesitantly: "Is the purpose of the Vietnamese army not to take down Faka Mountain?"

"No!" I shook my head and replied, "I fully agree with the views of Commander Liu and my superiors, but I think... the Vietnamese army has another intention to take this move, that is, to force our special reconnaissance brigade to the battlefield!"

"Forcing you to the battlefield?" Everyone exclaimed when they heard this.

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "If I were the commander of the Vietnamese army and I also wanted to take down Faka Mountain, I would not do such an obvious move. First, let the front-line troops stop, and then send agents to attack the opponent's artillery positions... This is actually telling us clearly that they are preparing to launch a big battle, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shunyi, Lin Xue and others couldn't help looking at each other, and they all felt fooled in their eyes.

After pausing for a while, I continued, "A few days ago, we just took a Vietnamese artillery position. Today they sneaked into an artillery position in our army, which is calling us. On the other hand... we used helicopters to assist in combat. Vietnamese agents were unable to catch our marching route and strategic goals, so they used this method to force us to the battlefield to face the battle with them!"

After a while of silence, Lin Xue nodded in agreement and said, "Battleman Captain Cui's analysis makes sense. We destroyed an artillery position of the Vietnamese army at a very small price a few days ago. This caused a great sensation in the Vietnamese army and also had a very adverse impact on their morale. The Vietnamese army's move should have the intention of boosting morale and regaining face!"

"So that..." Liu Shunyi smiled bitterly, smiled self-deprecatingly, "Are we old men still used by the Vietnamese Japanese as tools?"

"This is easy!" Political Commissar Yang interrupted, "Since we know that this is a trap for the Japanese, we won't go..."

"No!" After thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "If we don't go... this attack will probably become real. The Vietnamese army is likely to be prepared for both ways and sending agents to move around to force us up. Although it is a purpose. Once we do not stop them or the Vietnamese agents from achieving satisfactory results, the Vietnamese army will soon launch a full-scale attack on Faka Mountain! That's the loss, it's not as simple as several ammunition depots!"

"Then..." Then Political Commissar Yang said again: "Let's pass on the orders to let the border troops pay attention to defense, especially the artillery troops..."

"Not even!" Lin Xue denied: "All Vietnamese agents can speak fluent Mandarin and clearly understand the commands of our army. Even if we stand in front of us, we can't tell them. In addition, our army's troops are so large that it can be said that there are loopholes everywhere and it is hard to defend against!"

"That's right!" Liu Shunyi also frowned and said, "If you guard against this ammunition depot, that ammunition depot, a supply depot, and field hospitals... if you have to guard against it, you will at least double your troops, and you may not be able to defend it!"
