Chapter 190 Gushuikou

"You are..." Company Commander Xie stood up and said, "Are you here to deal with the Vietnamese special agent troops?"

I didn't answer directly, and smiled and replied, "I said to Commander Xie, you have been in the battlefield for at least a few months! Look at my army... like a force that has never fought a war?"

"Not like it!" Company Commander Xie shook his head.

"Then what kind of troops do you think we are?" I asked again.

"Scout, you are scouts!" Company Commander Xie said uncertainly.

I did not answer, but it was a default. In this era, our army did not have any special forces organization. The soldiers only knew scouts. In fact, our troops were also called special reconnaissance brigades, but in fact they were scouts.

"Comrade... No! Chief..." Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Company Commander Xie couldn't help but feel excited and regretful. He stamped his feet and said, "It's my fault, alas! What do you think I'm doing? You come here to avenge our sacrificed comrades and deal with our Vietnamese agents. I'll also talk to you about the conditions and ask for money. I'm really not a human being..."

After a pause, he immediately stood up in front of me and said, "Reporting, please make any requests you have. As long as I thank Xianjin, I can do it, even if I go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire!"

"Hey! Your name is Xie Xianjin?" I couldn't help but smile when I heard this, "But I don't think your style of doing things is advanced at all..."

The soldiers laughed out loud.

Company Commander Xie touched his head awkwardly and replied embarrassedly: "That...that is the name given by my father, it has nothing to do with whether I am first or not..."

Company Commander Xie's words once again caused laughter from the soldiers.

"Build a fortification right away!" After a while of laughter, I quickly conveyed the order. The soldiers responded in unison and pulled out the engineer shovels and started to work hard.

I took Xie Xianjin and several other company commanders to a slightly larger anti-cannon hole to sit down, and handed him a cigarette. This time, Company Commander Xie did not refuse. He smiled at me with a little embarrassedly, and took the cigarette and lit it, and couldn't wait to smoke it.

"Tell me about the situation here!" I casually untied the information in the rain cloth package and pulled out a map from it.

"Here..." Company Commander Xie pointed to several positions on the map while smoking, saying: "There is a minefield ahead, 7 kilometers long from east to west, 500 meters wide..."

"Such a minefield?!" I was shocked when I heard this. What was the 7-kilometer-long distance between the east and the west? It was almost the frontier of our Faka Mountain.

"Yeah!" Company Commander Xie nodded and said, "The superiors considered the abnormality of the Vietnamese Japanese on the front line and were worried that they would launch a counterattack on Faka Mountain, so they used rocket mine-burning vehicles to shoot 300,000 large and small landmines to the front edge of the front position!"

"Three hundred thousand landmines..." Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by this number.

"The special agent troops of the Yue Japanese are so powerful!" Corps Xie sighed and said, "It is precisely because there are so many mines at the front of the position that we relaxed our vigilance. Unexpectedly, the Yue Japanese could pass through our minefield without knowing it and take our artillery position directly... This minefield is more than 500 meters wide, and is densely packed with mines. I really don't know how they did it!"

In fact, it is not too difficult to do this. I soon thought of the landmine moving king on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. If there were one or two mine clearance masters like him in the Vietnamese army, it would be impossible to pass through the minefield without knowing it. Just like what we did on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the mine clearance king was clearing mines in front, while others followed their footprints behind... But this was a bit unimaginable for Xie Xianjin's soldiers who had only been on the battlefield for a few months.

"It is said..." After thinking about it, I continued to ask: "The Vietnamese Japanese are very familiar with the commands of our troops, right?"

"Yeah!" Company Commander Xie nodded, let out a long smoke ring and pointed to a position on the map and replied: "Later we investigated that night, only those garrisoned by the 7th Company were passing through the 296th Highlands stationed by the 7th Company. That night... the number of people is about the same, so it should be the special agent troops of the Vietnamese Japanese! At that time, the sentries of the 7th Company were still wondering why they came from the south. Their answer was to go to the Vietnamese Japanese to reconnaissance. Asking them questions and the troops number were correct, so they let them go. Not long after, something happened to the artillery position!"

After a pause, Company Commander Xie continued: "According to our opinion, it must be that the agents of the Vietnamese Japanese hidden in our army. Otherwise, we would have changed the command every day. They would not have known the command so quickly, and they would have known the matters of our army so clearly!"

"Yeah!" I nodded and agreed with Company Commander Xie's statement. It would be difficult to do this without a traitor.

I couldn't help but worry when I learned this. This mission was much more difficult than I thought. At least until now, I know that the Vietnamese agents have a mine clearance master who can lead the troops to walk on flat ground in the minefield, but our own actions are restricted by the minefield. More importantly, the Vietnamese army has installed spies within our army. They know our situation well, but we know nothing about them...

How to fight this battle? It’s a completely asymmetric battle!

"Battery Commander!" said the hometown man frowned and said, "In this way, the Vietnamese army can make breakthroughs at any point on our front, or can be unobstructed within our army. In other words, they can launch a surprise attack on our army's strategic goals anytime, anywhere, at any time, at any time, and we will not be able to grasp their movements..."

"This is not necessarily true!" I said.

"What?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at me in confusion.

"That's right!" I pointed to the south of the map and said: "There are 56 highlands of all sizes within seven kilometers south of Faka Mountain, and 32 under the control of our army, which means there are only 14 under the control of the Vietnamese army. Because the number of highlands controlled by the Vietnamese army is small, and it is also under the deterrence of our artillery fire..."

Speaking of this, I turned my attention to Company Commander Xie.

Company Commander Xie was also a smart person and immediately replied: "Our artillery soldiers will not be polite to the more than a dozen high grounds of the Yue Japanese. If you have any problems, you will fire a cannon!"

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I believe that the Vietnamese army will not place their special agent troops on these dozen high grounds!"

"Yes!" The people from the hometown, Li Zhishen and others couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

This is very obvious. Since our army's artillery has an absolute advantage, if the Vietnamese army still deploys its special agent troops on these dozen high grounds, it will undoubtedly risk being bombed by our artillery fire. For the shells, no matter whether you are an agent or not, it will be right that you will be killed or broken by ancient brains.

"So we can move our eyes south..." I pointed to the map and continued: "A little further south are two big mountains that go east and west, these two mountains are..."

"The one on the left is Daliang Mountain, and the one on the right is Qingning Mountain!" Company Commander Xie continued my words: "The narrow valley between the two mountains is called Gushuikou. It was the main transportation route we had to support Vietnam and the throat route for the Vietnamese Japanese to enter our army's defense zone. We retreated from there!"

"The problem is here..." I said: "If the Vietnamese agents are not on the dozen high grounds in front of us, then it is very likely that they will be after this valley water outlet. In other words, if the Vietnamese agents want to attack, they must pass through this valley water outlet!"

"Oh!" After hearing this, Company Commander Xie couldn't help but realize it. He nodded and said, "The battalion commander means... let's go to Gushuikou to set up an ambush? But Gushuikou is the defense zone of the Vietnamese army. Is it too dangerous to do this?"

"I think it's OK!" Li Zhifu clenched his fists and said: "The Vietnamese Japanese can sneak attack our artillery units through minefields and our defense areas. We can also pass through minefields and the Vietnamese defense areas to set up ambush in their places!"

"But... why is this minefield? How to get the command?" The hometown people immediately asked the question: "There is a spy in our army, and we are not prepared! Besides, even if we successfully cross the minefield and the defense line of the Japanese devils ambushed at Gushuikou, then the Japanese devils are coming and going in Gushuikou, how do we know which special agent troops are the Japanese devils and which are ordinary troops?"

My hometown people are worthy of being an instructor for several years, so every question raised is to the point. I did want to send troops to ambush at Gushuikou, but after he said this, he felt that it was indeed unfeasible. There are too many uncertain factors in this. Our special reconnaissance brigade's operations are indeed risky, but we cannot take risks blindly, and we cannot rely solely on luck to fight.

So what should I do?

I looked at the map in front of me under the light of the flashlight, looked at the Faka Mountain, then looked at the Daliang Mountain and Qingning Mountain, and suddenly realized that our army's defense zone was actually a low-lying land surrounded by mountains on three sides, composed of the Faka Mountain, Daliang Mountain and Qingning Mountain. The main defense direction was from the 142 highland where we were located to the valley entrance of the major transportation route of Vietnam...

In other words, if Vietnam wants to organize a battle-level battle in the Faka Mountain area, its personnel and equipment must pass through the valley water outlet before they can deploy troops along the terrain. In addition, they will not cross other roads!
