Chapter 317 Breakthrough!
Zhang Haiyang said:
"This terrain is very disadvantageous to our mechanized troops. Without enough open space, we cannot break through the defense line, and the advantage of the mechanized troops is gone."
"There are advantages and disadvantages!"
Zhong Yuemin said:
"We can't break through, and neither can the Vietnamese. To be honest, when it comes to heavy weapons and mechanized forces, we're really no match for these monkeys. Look at our troops, and even the tank mechanized regiments on Yuan's side. They mostly have Type 66 152mm howitzers and Type 62 light tanks with thin armor. These monkeys, on the other hand, use the Russian M46 cannons and BM-21 rocket launchers, as well as T-34 heavy tanks, which have stronger anti-armor capabilities. If we were to fight them head-on, we might not necessarily gain the upper hand."
Zhang Haiyang said:
"Yuemin, stop boosting others' morale and diminishing your own. Back on the peninsula, we were 1 against 17, and we took down the US-led coalition. In the Zhenbao Island conflict, we also took down the Russians. Back then, we only had millet and rifles, but we still won. Now, we're just a little Vietnamese monkey. We beat them up, and they think they're so tough?"
Zhong Yuemin calmly said:
"I'm not trying to boost morale. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. We may be strategically dismissive, but we must be tactically cautious. Do you understand?"
Not one to engage in idle chatter, after observing for a while, he turned to the guide and said:
"Dajun, I saw some armed patrols in the village ahead. Is there still enemy troops stationed here?"
The guide's name was Li Jun, and he was from Honghe, Yunnan. He whispered:
“Battalion Commander Zhong, we are currently on the outskirts of Guliu City. As you should know, Vietnam is launching a major offensive against Cambodia and has withdrawn most of its troops. The northern region is short of troops. As far as I know, to solve this problem, every village has organized its own militia, similar to our country’s militia. However, these Vietnamese are even more extreme, with the elderly, women and children all joining the fight. It’s almost like the whole nation is a soldier.”
"What the hell!"
Zhang Haiyang cursed:
"Did these Yue monkeys already know we were going to deal with them? Otherwise, why would they pull this stunt?"
"If you've done too many bad things, you'll naturally have to be careful."
This is also the fundamental reason for this counterattack. The Vietnamese monkeys previously "defeated" the United States and have the support of the Russians. They claim to be the third strongest military power in the world and look down on everyone except the United States and the Russians. They frequently harass our border residents, causing huge casualties and property losses.
That's why when Deng Xiaoping visited the United States, the children were disobedient and needed a spanking.
Zhong Yuemin said to the team members:
"Let's rest for a while and wait until it's completely dark before we sneak over and check it out, then report the situation back to headquarters."
The team rested on the spot. As night fell, it started raining again, and the temperature dropped considerably. Many team members' lips turned white from the cold. Zhong Yuemin took off his water bottle and handed it to Man Tun.
"Have a sip, everyone. I've added ginseng to this to warm you up."
The twenty-odd team members each took a sip, finishing off the entire pot of spring water.
"Form three groups of three, spread out, don't huddle together, take defensive cover, target the village ahead, move out!"
Zhong Yuemin was the first to crawl out of the bushes. He, Haiyang, and Ning Wei formed a group, followed by Mantun, Wang Tiezhu, and others. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, making it hard to open their eyes. Large raindrops slapped their faces, stinging them. The road was muddy and slippery, but it also provided good cover. The team successfully reached the outskirts of the village and lay down on a slope. There was no light in the village ahead, and apart from the sound of rain hitting the ground, there was no other movement.
