1204 slow staff increase
The captain's company commander, whose waist was pierced, gave the two platoons a clear order, that is, to make a detour to the rear of the emergency building, and then try to enter the building through the window, so as to carry out a flanking attack on the enemy in the building, so as to avoid the problem that the front space of the emergency building is limited, and the soldiers of the two companies are unable to use it.
However, the captain and company commander who had already been killed, he obviously overestimated the courage of his men, and as soon as his side was strafed by Minigon, the soldiers of the two platoons stopped advancing, otherwise they would have had a chance to storm the building, no matter how heavy the frontal casualties were.
Then, when the security forces suffered a crushing defeat in the frontal charge, and the officer in charge of the detour became hesitant to move forward or retreat immediately, the snipers of the regiment, who were hiding in the inpatient building behind the emergency building, were in the same building as Hou Rui and the three of them, and they suddenly opened fire.
"Bang! ”
After the sudden gunshot, on the right side of the emergency building, an unlucky soldier was immediately shot and fell, but when the other soldiers behind the soldier scattered in a panic, each looking for cover, and fired back at the hospital building in the distance, the real disaster came.
It turned out that in the two wings of the emergency building, as part of the overall defense system of the Legion Psychological Training Center, anti-infantry jumping mines were buried underground early on, and they were stepped on by patients and medical staff in the hospital on weekdays.
So when a soldier was unconsciously triggered while running, a cylindrical little thing flew up more than a meter high from the soil, and exploded violently before the surrounding soldiers could react, brutally firing countless shrapnel and small steel balls into the 360-degree space.
"Pong, plop...... In an instant, within 11 meters of the jump mine, one-third of the soldiers in the platoon fell down wailing and clutching their waists, causing the platoon to lose the battle directly before it could see the enemy.......
After the merciless second blow, Hans finally gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat!" Order all the soldiers in the hospital to retreat, and tell T72 to retreat to a safe position together, and the rest of the people stay in the courtyard, which is simply a senseless victim, and will not play a role at all." ”
"Mr. Hans, what will happen to our wounded if we retreat now?" asked an Indian officer stupidly.
"No, we must not retreat, we should continue the attack and send another company up. ”
"So they're going to die?"
"What if you retreat now, then everything you have sacrificed will be in vain. But the other officer who was furious suddenly roared, because the two companies he had just lost were his direct troops, and he was the one who had advocated the attack just now, and then he had pushed all those subordinates through the Ghost Gate.
"Do you want to continue the attack? Then you go and lead the team yourself, see if you can take it! As for the wounded, of course, they have to be brought back together, and now it's time to send our reserves up and let the LCH helicopters cover it. Hans, who heard the Indian officers eating dogs themselves, only felt a bout of headaches, and sat down straight after giving the order, looking at the emergency building in the image in a daze.
After the short and bloody battle just now, the emergency building of the Charity Hospital is already devastated!
On the front of the building, there are 6-7 huge holes in the walls, which are naturally the masterpieces of the T72 tank, and there are countless bowl-sized bullet marks between the windows, these are the results of the M2 heavy machine gun, but in this building that has been beaten so badly, how many enemies are still hidden, and how much resistance ability it has, this Hans is really uncertain.
But before Hans could continue to be in a daze and continue to think about it, there was a sudden loud noise in the courtyard of the Charity Hospital, and the platoon on the left side of the emergency building, which had not been attacked just now, received a big gift as they retreated.
As a group of them passed through the lawn of the courtyard and tried to leave the hospital along the gap in the wall that the T72 tank had smashed, there was a sudden loud noise under the lawn, and a shallow anti-personnel cluster bomb exploded, which killed only 4-5 people in the entire platoon, and there were stumps in front of them......
Seeing this tragic scene again, naturally no one would oppose Hans's order to retreat, and the guy who shouted the loudest just now was completely wilted, and he also followed the example of a major, and sat down on a chair with his whole body paralyzed, and his eyes seemed to be out of focus anymore.
Not long after, two LCH helicopter gunships from the Indian side entered the field, and some frightened pilots, they did not dare to get too close, so they were far away from the emergency building of the hospital is a rocket, and in just two minutes, the second and third floors of the emergency building were all turned into a sea of fire.
It is unknown how many members of the Legion Company were killed and injured by this round of attacks on the Indian side, but some of the hostages held by the Legion in the emergency building were all finished, and none of them escaped, and all of them became victims in this round of attack.
However, under the cover of such sharp fire from helicopter gunships, the security forces soldiers who entered the hospital courtyard were barely able to withdraw, but the two companies and about 240-250 soldiers at the time of the attack were able to walk back on their own.
Then they also brought back 4-50 light and serious wounded together, and soon Hans and their temporary command post were filled with a pungent smell of blood and endless screams, as for the corpses of those dead soldiers, they would definitely not be able to gather for a while, so they could only continue to lie in their place, which was very shocking.
Fortunately, the battlefield was located in the city of Bangalore, so those light and serious wounded were immediately sent to various large and small hospitals in the city, but the blood stains left on the ground by the wounded were still bright red, silently telling others about the tragic experience of the soldiers!
However, at the moment of the big enemy, Hans, who did not have time to be sentimental, immediately made some new adjustments urgently in response to the problems exposed during the last offensive, including asking the Indian military for mine-sweeping equipment and more armored vehicles, and they also set up a bandaging station next to the temporary command post to improve the rescue chances of the attacking soldiers.
Soon, the Indian military replied to Hans's request: it was no problem to get mine-clearing equipment, but it would take a few hours for the military to turn things out of the warehouse and then send them to the plane.
As for armored vehicles, it is easier to solve, an armored regiment stationed 100 kilometers south of Bangalore can immediately carry out reinforcement mobilization, they can appear in front of Hans and others within three hours at the earliest, and then temporarily join the battle sequence of the security forces.
However, as soon as Hans heard this reply, he was immediately speechless!
However, the distance is only 100 kilometers, and it actually takes three hours to get on the road, what kind of efficiency is this! With such a lazy, outing-like march, can you still expect troops like them to fight desperately?
Hans, who was depressed to the brink of an outburst, finally reluctantly accepted this reality under the repeated persuasion of his subordinates, and then took the opportunity to wait for darkness while waiting for the reinforcements, after all, it is also important to destroy the morale and ammunition of the defenders in the siege and attack, and it is more convenient for the security forces to carry out operations in the dark.
Besides, through the testimonies of the patients who escaped from the charity hospital, Hans and the others had learned that all the hostages taken by the hospital were estimated to be between 5 and 600 people, and that so many people needed a lot of supplies to eat and drink, and that once the guys in the hospital made a request in this regard, it would be possible for the two sides to make contact.
So, the battle was dragged on, and soon it was delayed from afternoon to night, and when the last ray of light in the sky finally disappeared, the armored convoy that had been ordered to support finally appeared, but the two armored infantry companies that came to support, the first request they made after getting off the car was actually to eat, which almost did not make Hans faint.
Feeling that he couldn't communicate with these strange soldiers, Hans simply shook his hand and left the temporary command post temporarily, and directly handed over the handover and assignment to the Indian officers, and ran to urge the mine-clearing equipment himself.
A few hours later, at midnight that day, an unhurried MiG-17 transport helicopter arrived on the scene, bringing with it 20 sets of mine-clearing equipment and four engineer specialists, which was probably the best news that Hans's team had ever heard since they arrived in Bangalore.
Next, when the periphery of the charity hospital, when the soldiers of the security forces were eating, standing guard, and sleeping lazily, as one of the hostages, Hou Rui, who was still obediently sitting in the large ward of the inpatient building, felt that he was hungry!
Since putting these hundreds of hostages in the hospital building, except for those lightly armed guards, Hou Rui has not even seen a member of the regiment company, and the front yard was so lively in the afternoon, and the other hostages around Hou Rui, they listened to the incessant gunfire, all with a desperate expression.
However, Hou Rui was very keenly aware that those guards did not show much urgency, and this showed that the legion still firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and further speaking, Hou Rui was not yet ripe for their actions.
In fact, Hou Rui thought very clearly, this incident is by no means a hasty end in 1-2 days, just with the strength of the legion, coupled with the iron bucket-like base defense, it may drag on for a week if it is not good, so he was mentally prepared to fight a protracted war early.
