Half an hour later, the base sent another message: "I received reports from various Vietnamese troops in the form of radio barcode signal folds, with the content of 'preparation'."

This further confirms our previous judgment: a war is imminent, and the Vietnamese attack on Fakashan is likely to be in the early morning tomorrow.

Why is it in the early morning? Sneak attacks, don’t you choose this time. I am so familiar with this. When we resisted the U.S. aggression and aid Korea, we always attacked the U.S. troops before dawn. One reason is that the enemy always slept the most well at this time, and the other reason is that it was dark when we attacked, and when we captured the enemy’s position, it was almost dawn. So this is beneficial to our army’s offense and defense.

At the same time, there is another thing worthy of my attention in this telegram, that is, "I have received various Vietnamese troops...". How many units are there in each unit? As far as I know, the Vietnamese army is at least equipped with radio stations, so this at least means that the Vietnamese army has several companies! If there are several companies on the front line participating in the war, then the subsequent troops should not be less than one division! If we can catch a division of the Vietnamese army, then this battle will not be in vain that our army has transferred so many artillery troops and paid such a great price.

Later I learned that the Vietnamese army sent far more than one division, with eight regiments of total strength, totaling more than 18,000 people. In order to ensure a strong momentum to capture Faka Mountain, the eight regiments were drawn from the Vietnamese elite divisions 316a Division, 356th Division, 1st Division, etc., and the six artillery regiments in the rear were not included here...

Of course I didn't know this at this time, and I was in the battalion department and hoped that the more people the Vietnamese army would come, the better.

"The owl reports the eagle, the owl reports the eagle!" At this time, Li Shuibo's voice came from the intercom: "There is something wrong on the position, the mouse may have already come out of the hole. Repeat, the mouse may have already come out of the hole!"

"Continue to pay attention to the enemy's movements and don't alert the enemy!"

In fact, this was already as expected. If the Vietnamese army wanted to launch a raid in the early morning of the next day, it would definitely pull the troops across the Gushuikou tonight and ambush the front of our army's defense. Otherwise, if we discovered it the next day, we only need a few cannons to seal the Gushuikou, the narrow valley.

After walking back and forth in the battalion for a few steps, I was a little uncontrollable. I couldn't help but grab the rifle and walked out of the hole.

It was still drizzling outside, and the drizzling rain hit me, which made me shudder. The temperature difference between day and night in Vietnam is very different. Although it is already June, it will still be a little cold when it comes out in the rain. However, there is also an advantage in fighting in the rain, that is, there is no need to disguise at all. The ground is full of mud and water. Just roll around and lie on the ground... No one can tell it!

"How is it? What's going on?" I found Li Shuibo in the trench and asked with a lie beside him.

Li Shuibo shook his head gently and said, "I can't tell what the situation is, but I just feel like someone is on the other side!"

If Li Shuibo's answer is in an ordinary army, he will definitely be scolded by his superiors: "What do you feel? Don't report it if you don't see the situation clearly!"

But I didn't answer this way, because I knew very well that Li Shuibo was not the kind of suspicious person, and I also understood his feeling, which was the intuition of an excellent sniper.

At this time, a loud "boom" sound came from the rainy night. The loud noise shocked everyone like thunder, and they all looked to the east where the explosion sounded. Then there was a "crackling" gunfire, and during this time, several People's Liberation Army soldiers roared at the darkness in the south.

The explosion just now should be that the Vietnamese army accidentally detonated the mines while ambushing. We had used rocket mines to launch 300,000 large and small mines, right? These mines are distributed irregularly at the forefront of our army's defense front. Moreover, after the rain washed away by the rain in the past few days, many mines are completely invisible. However, the Vietnamese army is now ambushing in that area. It would be a miracle that if a mine is not touched.

But what surprised me was that after the Vietnamese army hit a landmine and was injured by the bomb, they could do nothing and scream...

The gunshots followed were that our soldiers were fumbling because of the mine explosion. This did not mean that they had discovered something, but the firepower reconnaissance used by the soldiers. After all, there were so many mines on this battlefield. It was normal to explode one or two occasionally, sometimes because of animals, sometimes because of birds, and some because of landslides, etc. So the soldiers fired for a while and didn't notice any movement on the other side, so they gradually stopped.

But the matter was not over. After a while, a whistling sound of artillery shells sounded in the sky, and dozens of flames exploded on the front of the defense, and there was still one after another without any intention of stopping. It was obvious that this was a disturbing artillery bombardment carried out by our troops on the position to observe the situation. As the shells hit the position one by one, there were several flares that illuminated the position a snow-white flare. The purpose was just like the previous fire reconnaissance, and I also wanted to find out whether there were any Vietnamese ambushes in front of the position.

Seeing this situation, I don't know what to do for a moment.

Considering that the most important thing in this battle is to keep confidential, and the team defending Fakashan is likely to have penetrated many Vietnamese agents, so I did not reveal the plan to Captain Wu and Political Commissar Li according to the orders of my superiors. This is also the reason why they shot and shot again after discovering a little. If the Vietnamese Japanese ambushed on our position were exposed because of this gunfire, it will undoubtedly affect our overall plan. What we want is not only the enemies of the first echelon, but to make all the Vietnamese troops surrounded by our gunfire.

Is it possible to call now to notify Political Commissar Li to stop the shelling? This seems inappropriate. The Vietnamese agents are so powerful that it is difficult to guarantee that they will monitor our army's telephone lines. After all, monitoring the telephone is too simple. Is it a mess? This may be safer, because the Vietnamese army still needs to decipher our army's telephone code. But it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a few irrelevant people in the regiment headquarters at this time...

Thinking of this, I finally decided to do nothing. From another perspective, the firepower reconnaissance of the soldiers is also a normal reaction. As the saying goes, there is real and there is virtuality, which may make the Vietnamese army think that we know nothing about their plans. The only thing I worry about is... If anyone in the Vietnamese army was injured by a shell and could not help but scream out the pain, then I don't know how the following things will develop.

However, nothing happened to me. The grass in front of the position was as usual in the dense forest. There was no sound, neither scream nor wail, nor even a ***!

Could it be that the Vietnamese army has not set up an ambush in our defensive positions? Are our guesses all wrong? Or is the Vietnamese army's life better and those shells did not hit them?

Afterwards, I learned from the prisoners of the Vietnamese army that this was not the case. The Vietnamese army was ambushed in the hills in front of us, and there were four battalions with troops. The Vietnamese army was not lucky. Our round of artillery shells exploded landmines flying everywhere, which caused a large chain explosion, which directly led to heavy casualties in the Vietnamese ambush troops, and their two battalion commanders were killed on the spot. However, the troops that lost the Vietnamese army and lost command were not panic or exposed. None of the minor and serious wounded were allowed to remain silent. There were even many seriously injured people who died and did not move...

This reminds me of the lurking in front of my Volunteer Army troops on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. As a member of the Volunteer Army, I know very well that this is not something that an ordinary army can do. If it is one person, two people are nothing, but if the entire army can do this, it can only be described as terror.

When the Americans were on the Korean battlefield, they should have used words like "terror" and "unthinkable" to describe the volunteer army. However, today's Vietnamese army also has qualities comparable to those of the volunteer army. But even if they have such qualities, they cannot change their fate of defeat.

These are all later stories. At that time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw the battlefield return to its former peace. Then I felt a little funny. At any time, I was worried for the Vietnamese Japanese...

"Stay behind and continue to observe!" Then I ordered to the intercom: "All other troops will return to the fortifications to rest!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and followed my order.

"Battery Commander!" When I returned to the team with a gun, Xie Xianjin came to me again. He asked hesitantly: "Did you... not tell our troops about these situations?"

I know he was suspicious because of that round of firepower reconnaissance. Xie Xianjin was not stupid either. Of course he would think of what it was.

I replied impatiently: "Comrade Xie Xianjin, it is an extraordinary time now, and superiors naturally have their considerations. The most important thing you are now is to do what you should do. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Xie Xianjin responded helplessly, but when I was about to step into the battalion, Xie Xianjin said anxiously: "But they are all my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and my superiors... I can't watch them like this and know nothing about the attack they are about to launch!"

I didn't answer him, and gritted my teeth and crawled into the camp without looking back, leaving only Xie Xianjin outside the cave and was left with tears.
Chapter completed!
