Chapter 283 Logistics Support
"Huh? She's from the Ninth Bureau?"
"This delicate-looking girl is actually from Bureau Nine?"
"I heard that everyone in the Ninth Bureau is a superhuman, but Comrade Jiang's physique is really unexpected."
"Young lady, what skills do you have to get into the Ninth Intent?"
"......"
Listening to the questions raised by everyone, Jiang Ruzhen was not unhappy. She knew that these leaders were all trying to protect her and were afraid of missing a crucial opportunity.
"I can provide logistical support, or I can charge into battle. In short, I am a brick of the motherland, ready to be moved wherever needed."
Jiang Ruzhen playfully tilted her head and replied. The leaders who heard her words all thought she was humorous and witty, so they were too embarrassed to question her further.
After all, these old guys were only here to assist Zheng Xin. The real power in the command post was still in Zheng Xin's hands, and only he could receive orders from his superiors and then call on them to deploy operations.
Since Zheng Xin said she could do it, then she could. They weren't a bunch of old fogies who insisted on judging people by their appearance.
However, while they could not question Jiang Ruzhen's identity, they were still very interested in her relationship with Lu Mingzheng.
After all, since they arrived at the command post half a month ago, they had never seen Lu Mingzheng smile at anyone.
Seeing his worthless smile today, they started gossiping and joking around.
"Comrade Jiang, how did you and Brother Lu meet?"
"Tell me about it, I'm so curious. It's amazing that someone as serious and cautious as Brother Lu could win over such a beautiful wife like you."
"Yes, Brother Lu is known as the Iron-Faced King of Hell in our unit. It's unbelievable that he would smile at a girl."
The Iron-Faced King of Hell?
Lu Mingzheng?
Jiang Ruzhen was somewhat skeptical of what these people were saying. From the first time she met Lu Mingzheng, she felt that he was glib and unreliable.
Unexpectedly, he was a completely different person in the army.
She glanced at Lu Mingzheng, shook her head, and laughed, "No way, Lu Mingzheng tells jokes when he's with me."
Tell a joke?
The bigwigs exchanged glances, feeling utterly horrified.
They could hardly imagine how horrifying it would be to have an iron-faced devil telling jokes.
"Alright, alright, are you guys going to have a meeting or not?" Lu Mingzheng felt a little embarrassed in the face of everyone's puzzled and teasing smiles.
Zheng Xin quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "That's right, I didn't call you here for gossip. There are new instructions from our superiors, and we're here to discuss them together."
Upon hearing the new instructions, everyone immediately became serious and gathered around to listen to Zheng Xin speak.
"The leadership's decision this time is a high-profile troop deployment. In line with the current world situation, I have decided to carry out a large-scale feint attack to teach the Vietnamese army a profound lesson."
"Oh, so what exactly should we do?" Everyone became interested and huddled together to discuss in hushed tones.
"The first step is to continuously increase troop deployments to put pressure on South Vietnam. The second step is to order our radio stations to send out a series of true and false messages and orders, keeping the enemy guessing about our tactics."
The third step is for our logistics team to secretly send supplies to the front lines without letting the enemy know. This requires the cooperation of Comrade Jiang from the Ninth Bureau.
“Okay, I will definitely complete the mission,” Jiang Ruzhen replied immediately.
Lu Mingzheng frowned and was about to speak when Zheng Xin continued, "In addition, the air force needs to strengthen its air patrol missions to create the illusion of an attack from time to time."
Lu Mingzheng hesitated for a second, then immediately nodded in agreement.
This is a battlefield. Even though he felt a deep pang of sympathy for Jiang Ruzhen, he was a soldier, and carrying out orders was their duty.
After some discussion, a preliminary plan was finalized.
Lu Mingzheng also had to return to the air force base to arrange tasks. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Jiang Ruzhen and silently said two words.
"Take care of yourself."
Jiang Ruzhen replied with the same three words, "You too."
The two met briefly and then passed each other, each heading off to the battlefield ahead.
Under Zheng Xin's arrangement, Jiang Ruzhen was accompanied by his bodyguard Xiao Lin and protected by a guard squad of more than ten people.
Load all the combat supplies that have been allocated and deliver them to each position to replenish them.
Since only one military vehicle was traveling back and forth, it did not attract the attention of the South Vietnamese.
Their attention was entirely focused on the military's troop movements and the information broadcast on the radio.
The South Vietnamese army, realizing that the number of troops along the border was steadily increasing, panicked and immediately began to deploy their forces in a flurry of activity, setting the stage for a large-scale military conflict.
Surprisingly, our military operations this time have been carried out in a very high-profile manner.
Not only South Vietnam, but the whole world quickly learned of this. This made the South Vietnamese army even more puzzled, wondering what our army was up to.
While the Vietnamese army was in a state of panic, Jiang Ruzhen's side systematically delivered all the war supplies to the front line.
By the time they reached the last hill, 602, it was already getting dark.
After several days of travel, even the physically strong Jiang Ruzhen was starting to feel the strain.
Xiao Lin followed Jiang Ruzhen all the way, from initially having some doubts and looking down on her, to finally deeply admiring her.
Through jungles, across swamps, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, this seemingly delicate girl never complained of being tired.
Moreover, the shock of witnessing her release tons of supplies with a wave of her hand and placing them in the storage cave for the first time was indescribable.
He had followed Commander Zheng for seven or eight years and had only occasionally heard of the Ninth Special Operations Bureau, but he thought it was just a special operations unit.
It's a place where the most elite soldiers in the entire army are gathered.
But he never expected that there really were extraordinary people in this world. Just the skill that Jiang Ruzhen showed was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
From then on, he acted like a devoted fanboy, running around and taking meticulous care of Jiang Ruzhen.
"Sister Jiang, why don't we rest here for the night?"
"Okay." Jiang Ruzhen also felt that her body couldn't take it anymore, so she agreed readily.
They climbed to the top of the 800-meter-high mountain and met with Company Commander Luo Hu, the person in charge of Hill 602.
When Company Commander Luo first met Jiang Ruzhen, he was somewhat surprised, but he immediately gave them a warm welcome.
First, take Jiang Ruzhen and Xiaolin to the cave where supplies are stored. Xiaolin tells him to go outside and wait.
At first, Company Commander Luo didn't understand what was going on. But when he entered the cave again two minutes later, he found that there were many more supplies inside.
There was food, bedding, and plenty of bullets and grenades.
"This...this..." Luo Hu stammered in surprise.
"Company Commander Luo, this is a military secret, don't ask anything." Xiao Lin gave him a serious look.
Luo Hu quickly shut his mouth and gave a solemn military salute.
"yes."
With a belly full of doubts, he arranged accommodation for Xiaolin, Jiang Ruzhen, and others.
After the others had rested, he and the other soldiers used the limited stoves to cook several large pots of steaming hot dishes to entertain their comrades.
After tidying up, Jiang Ruzhen stood alone on the high ground, looking down at the South Vietnam across the river.
Kobayashi followed up and explained, "This Hill 602 is a commanding height on the border, a rare and easily defensible location on the entire mountain."
Thanks to this, it acted like a giant, steel hand, firmly gripping the throat of the South Vietnamese army on the western highlands.
This location is very important, which is why they received more supplies today than other positions.
After listening to Xiaolin's words, Jiang Ruzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Why did the code name of this position and the company commander's name seem so familiar to her?
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
