"They don't need to set up ambush on three roads at the same time!" After looking at the puzzled Staff Zhang, I continued the previous topic: "The main problem is that the Vietnamese agents should know the airport where our army transports radar. If I were a Vietnamese agent... the airport defense was too strict, it would never be a good place to launch an attack. And as Lin Xue said before, even if they succeeded at the airport, they would not be able to escape unscathed. On the contrary, if they attacked halfway, they could increase the success rate and reduce casualties, and on the other hand, they could choose any favorable location as the position to launch the attack, turning passive into active!"
"I agree with Battalion Commander Cui!" Lin Xue agreed: "As for the issue of three roads going to the airport, Vietnamese agents can only choose one of the roads to ambush, and for the other two roads... they can either create some traffic accidents or prepare to create some mudslides to block the roads. If they are not ambushed correctly, they can completely turn us back..."
"We have considered this!" Staff Officer Zhang interrupted Lin Xue and said, "Our consideration is this. First, the Vietnamese agents don't know which airport we will use to transport radar, so even if they want to ambush on the road and create traffic accidents, they don't know where to start. Second, if the Vietnamese agents successfully launch an attack on us on the road, this means that the Vietnamese agents have the initiative, because we don't know which point they will choose as the ambush site, how can we know where to set up an ambush at that time..."
Upon hearing this, I looked at Lin Xue and I knew that what Staff Zhang was considering was reasonable.
"I'm a little worried..." Lin Xue continued: "If we set up an ambush at the airport, the Vietnamese agents would not take action. After all, it would be too dangerous to do so, and there would be no return! The Vietnamese agents are also a precious resource. They would not send these agents to a dead end so easily!"
"Let's do it!" After thinking about it, I said to the map: "It's actually very simple to let the Vietnamese agents know which airport we will use to transport radar. The Vietnamese agents must have been paying close attention to the situation of our airport during this period. This means... As long as we greatly strengthen the defense of which airport, the Vietnamese agents will quickly turn their attention to wherever they want! As for how to set up an ambush..."
When I said this, I turned to Zhang Qimou and asked, "Is there any way to transfer seven or eight helicopters for us?"
"Of course!" Staff Officer Zhang responded without thinking. This seemed like a trivial matter to him. What he cared more about was why I wanted these helicopters!
"Captain Cui means..." Lin Xue certainly knew my intentions, turned to look at me and said, "Does Captain Cui want to use helicopters to close the net?"
"That's right!" I nodded and asked Staff Officer Zhang: "The radar location is not far from the airport!"
"Not far!" Chief Zhang replied: "It's a distance of more than ten kilometers, but according to the orders of the superiors... I can only tell you the specific location at the last moment, and I hope you don't mind!"
"It's okay!" I replied.
I can understand the arrangements of my superiors. As a member of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, I also know very well that it is necessary to do so.
"These ten kilometers are roads!" I continued to say: "If it was a flight distance, it might not be ten kilometers or shorter. At a speed of 50 kilometers per minute, it would only take three minutes to reach the airport. I believe we are fully capable of quickly reaching the site of the incident before the Vietnamese agents escaped!"
"Oh!" After listening to my words, Staff Zhang quickly understood and nodded quickly and said, "Battleman Cui is right. How could I forget that the biggest feature of the special reconnaissance brigade is to launch a lightning raid on the enemy with helicopters? As long as we are ready when the convoy is set off, we can arrive at the scene in about two minutes. At this time, the Vietnamese military special forces have not even exploded the artillery radar! Not to mention escaping..."
"But this is not too dangerous for the artillery radar?" Lin Xue then asked worriedly: "Our main force is all preparing to launch a raid on the Vietnamese agents on the helicopter, and the convoy that transports artillery radar..."
"We can increase the strength of the convoy." I replied: "On the other hand, we have arranged some special reconnaissance brigade's mandate protection radar, which will delay for more than two minutes. I don't think there is any big problem!"
"That's right! Just do it!" Staff Zhang nodded without hesitation.
Staff Zhang's straightforward appearance surprised me because I knew very well that such a plan that might endanger the artillery radar was not something that Staff Zhang could only accept, and even if he had great power, he would not have the right to do so.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown, and as soon as my face changed, I said coldly to Staff Zhang: "Staff Zhang! I want to explain to you something, if there is something in this plan that we don't know, or something is fake..."
Speaking of this, I deliberately stopped. Seeing that Staff Zhang was slightly stunned, a hint of shock and unnatural on his face, I knew that I was right.
"If that's the case..." I continued: "Then the soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade and I will not be responsible for this mission and the safety of the gun-aiding radar!"
Lin Xue looked at me and then at Staff Zhang. He quickly guessed the mystery of this, shook his head and sighed, "Staff Zhang, we didn't think of using fake radar to trick the Vietnamese agents into taking action, but the risk would be too great if we do so. According to the report of our army's intelligence department, the Vietnamese army knew that our army was equipped with gun-aiding radar and successfully found the radar's location and carried out a surprise attack. This is inseparable from the help of Soviet revisionists and agents. They not only have a very strict spy network, but also have professionals to identify gun-aiding radars. Once they find the flaws, the consequences..."
"There are two consequences!" I continued Lin Xue's words: "One is the Vietnamese agents who will immediately realize that this is a trap set by our army against them, and the other... they are likely to continue lurking nearby and waiting for the real gun aiming radar to appear. At that time, they will be unprepared for attacking them!"
Lin Xue and I were talking to each other, and the words made the face of Staff Zhang turn red and white. After a while, he nodded and responded: "I will report your situation and plan to the superior!"
As he said that, he shook hands with us and walked out in a dirt state.
Although I felt like I was cheated, I knew that this was a very normal thing in military terms, just like I brought the soldiers to Beijing and didn't tell them what the purpose was. In fact, this cannot be said to be a fraud. Some of them are military secrets that cannot be known to too many people, such as the superiors are preparing to use fake radar... If too many people know this, the fake radar will become a joke.
But what I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart was...I don't want to see the soldiers taking unnecessary risks or even sacrifices because of a fake radar, and it made me feel like I was being used without knowing it.
"Let's leave the meeting!" I said to the cadres: "Don't tell the soldiers about this!"
I'm worried that this will affect the morale of the soldiers.
"Yes!" The hometown people, Li Zhifu and others knew this very well, so although they were a little dissatisfied on their faces, they still responded and executed my order.
After the soldiers left, I poured myself a cup of hot tea and drank it. The facilities in this sanatorium are quite complete. I won’t talk about ordinary furniture such as tables and beds, and even stove tea sets. I think these are all for those wounded people with conditions to cook something to nourish their bodies or refresh their minds. By the way, on the battlefield, we sometimes drink as long as we have saliva, so how can we sit at the table and drink tea leisurely like now.
After taking a few sips, he heard a knock on the door outside, and then Lin Xue shouted outside: "Report!"
"Come in!" I responded, picked up the teapot and poured a cup, and greeted Lin Xue who had just walked in, "Come on, sit down and have a drink!"
"Captain Cui!" Lin Xue sat down in front of her and picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said hesitantly: "That thing just now... I didn't know about it in advance!"
"That thing just now? Oh..." I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Lin Xue was talking about the fake radar, and smiled and replied, "I know!"
"Don't take this kind of thing too seriously!" Lin Xue continued: "The superiors have their considerations, and their ideas have certain reasons, and they cannot be said to be used all..."
"I understand!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I said why Lin Xue suddenly came to me for. It turned out that she was still worried that I would be unhappy in doing my ideological work.
"Just understand!" Lin Xue looked at me and knew that I really didn't take it seriously, so she said with confidence: "You have to know that you are the key figure in this operation. If you have any psychological burden, it may affect the entire battle! Don't worry... I think my superiors will no longer take the risk of using fake radar!"
"How did you know?" I couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Lin Xue said this to me. What I am worried about now is that I am afraid that our superiors will still use fake radars even though they know the disadvantages of using fake radars. At that time, I will still pretend that I don’t know and still let the soldiers risk their lives to protect the radar...
"The reason is very simple!" Lin Xue smiled and said, "You can guess it with just a few words from Staff Zhang. Will the superior dare to do this?"
