127 Chapter 127: The Battle of Tailiang Mountain
The position of the wolf army and the position of the mercenary alliance face each other across the mountain, in the middle is a valley hundreds of meters deep, the valley is more than ten miles long, no matter who wants to attack the other party, they must go down the mountain from their own position, cross the valley, and then climb nearly a thousand meters of mountains to gnaw at the opponent's position, even if they don't care about casualties and fill with human lives, it is difficult to break through the opponent's position, so the two sides have not been able to fight here in recent years, forming a new balance.
At the end of this valley, there is a triangular mountain with an altitude of 1,800 meters, and the national border passes through the top of the mountain. This position was almost lost tonight, but fortunately, Xiao Shancha and Wang Xiaoyu's drones occupied the mountain eagle special forces on the top of the mountain, and the mercenary alliance once again recaptured the Triangle Mountain position.
Since this is the end of the valley, the Allied Army has the possibility of attacking the Wolf Army by detouring from the mountain beam, so the Wild Wolf Army controls the Tailiang Mountain next to the Triangle Mountain, which is hundreds of meters higher than the Triangle Mountain, and can block the mountain beam leading to the Wolf Army's position on the Triangle Mountain, so the mercenary alliance is not just able to make a detour to the mountain beam to attack the Wolf Army's artillery position.
More importantly, Tailiang Mountain also held the passage for the mercenary alliance to reinforce the reconnaissance company in the middle of the mountain, and now, cutting off the reconnaissance company of Shenliudu in the middle of the mountain has cut off the retreat of all the wild wolf army in the entire northern area of the red star in thousands of square kilometers, and the wild wolf army will definitely fight back frantically and fight desperately, so it has become a top priority to reinforce the reconnaissance company in the middle of the mountain. And to reinforce the reconnaissance company in the middle of the mountain, Tailiang Mountain is a strategic point that has to be uprooted.
It was now 11:30 p.m., and the attack on Mount Tailiang had been launched for an hour and a half, and a battalion had set up an ambush on the peak on the right side of Mount Tailiang to block reinforcements in the direction of the artillery position. The second battalion was responsible for the main attack, and this battalion temporarily reinforced two companies of friendly forces before departure, as well as the artillery company of the headquarters, with a total strength of more than 600 people, and should have been captured against the defenders of a company of 100 men in Tailiang Mountain, but now the attack lasted an hour and a half, and only a few strongholds on the periphery were cleared. At a pass to the main peak, a permanent reinforced concrete fortification, with machine-gun bullets forming several tongues of fire, blocked the way forward. About 80 meters behind this fortification, there was a civil fortification on the left and right, and from time to time mortar shells whistled into the sky and smashed into the offensive positions of the 2nd Battalion. The slightly larger civil fortifications on the left, and the sound of a heavy machine gun, the fire network formed by these fortification groups suppressed more than 600 people of the second battalion on the mountain beam 500 meters away, making it difficult to advance an inch.
The second battalion Sha shouted at the artillery company suppression in a hoarse voice, and said to the first company commander while yelling: "First company commander, immediately organize another assault team to cover the Iron Fist 3 bazooka group to advance 200 meters, and you must blow up this fortification!" ”
"Yes!" The commander of the second company received the order and immediately went to his own unit to transfer veterans.
The battalion deputy next to him reminded in a low voice: "Battalion commander, this is the last Iron Fist 3 team, just now an hour of attack, we sacrificed 4 Iron Fist 3 bazooka teams in a row, if we fail again, we will lose the effective means of attacking." ”
The second battalion commander said impatiently: "I know, but what else can be done now?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a staff officer hurriedly came over with a telegram and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the headquarters has ordered us to take Tailiang Mountain within an hour!" ”
The second battalion commander roared and pointed: "How is this possible! It's only halfway up the mountain, and it's more than 1,000 meters away from the peak, so it's enough to run up! ”
The battalion deputy did not speak, took the telegram from the staff officer, glanced at it in a hurry, his face changed greatly, and said to the battalion commander: "Battalion commander, there are two battalions of wild wolf troops in the direction of Galen City to reinforce them, counting the attack of the guerrillas, at most 3~4 hours can reach the middle of the mountain and attack the reconnaissance company." If you don't get reinforcements, the reconnaissance company is in danger! ”
The second battalion commander was silent, from Tailiang Mountain to the middle of the mountain, it would take two hours to march urgently, so there was really only one hour left for him to attack, which would be related to the success or failure of the entire campaign!
At this time, the members of the drone detachment who accompanied him in his action reported: "The drone reconnaissance in the air found that a battalion of the Wild Wolf Army stationed in the official village of the northern district of Hongxing has all been dispatched all the way south along the Xinmu Highway. ”
The second battalion commander was taken aback and asked, "How long has it been since this person reached the middle of the mountain?" ”
The members of the drone detachment replied: "They are maneuvering by truck, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the mid-level in two hours!" ”
"Ahh The commander of the second battalion stumbled and was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. After more than two hours, the reconnaissance company will face three battalions of enemy flanking from the front and back, even if the reconnaissance company is iron, how many nails can it hit? If the reconnaissance company fails, then the entire campaign is considered a failure.
Thinking of this, the commander of the second battalion shouted: "First company commander, give you 10 minutes to blow up the concrete fortifications in front of me, or you will charge me in 10 minutes!" ”
"Yes!" The commander of the first company replied, jumped out of the trench with the assault team, and coped with the rocket launcher team crawling forward, because it was a back attack, they needed to brave the rain of bullets to move forward 200 meters, so that the rocket launcher team could have a suitable angle to attack the concrete fortifications.
The second battalion commander then ordered: "Artillery company, you shoot all the shells for me, and cover the bazooka team with all your might, Lao Tzu can't do it!" "The artillery company only brought four mortars, and in this deep mountain and dense forest, the howitzers with a slightly larger caliber could not move at all. It's just that these four mortars, shells rained down on the concrete fortifications, only smashing out some white dots, and the hateful fortifications were unharmed.
The commander of the second battalion said loudly again: "The second and third companies are ready to follow the first company in 10 minutes to assault and charge!" ”
"Yes!" The commander of the second company and the third company responded in unison.
The commander of the second battalion did not issue a request to charge the two companies of the friendly army, and if he filled all three companies, it would not be of much significance to fill up the two companies of the friendly army, and there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
The two friendly company commanders took the initiative to come to the second battalion commander, saluted and said, "Comrade battalion commander, please don't treat us as outsiders. Now that the enemy is present, please assign us a mission! ”
"Good!" The second battalion commander held the hands of the two company commanders tightly.
The battalion deputy on the side was sighing secretly, hundreds of heroes may be in this mountain in a blink of an eye! It's just that I pity my own troops for being poor, and if there were Apache helicopter gunships, what could be solved with only two rockets would probably cost hundreds of lives.
The intensive bombardment of the artillery battery, as well as the continuous firing of several 10 machine guns, although failed to destroy the concrete fortifications, also made the fire in the fortifications sparse. On the civil engineering fortifications on the left behind it, due to the better geographical environment and more awkward angles, the mortars hiding behind the bunkers are still firing. Almost every time the flare was raised, several shells would be smashed into the path of the commando team's advance, and only a small half of the 30 commandos brought by the company commander were still struggling to advance. The two mortars behind the bunker made the second battalion commander angry.
At this moment, the commander of the second battalion heard a slight buzzing sound overhead, and couldn't help but look up, only to see five black shadows passing forward against the treetops, only twenty or thirty meters from the ground at most. The commander of the second battalion knew that it was the miniature bombers of the UAV detachment that came to support, and although these planes were small, they helped him pull out a few firepower points in the battle just now, and their combat effectiveness was impressive.
This time it was a small formation of 5 bombers, after flying out of the position of the second battalion, they began to rise to a height of about 100 meters, and then flew straight to the upper left of the concrete fortifications, a bunch of black bombs fell one after another, and in the blink of an eye, explosions sounded one after another, and the entire civil fortifications fell into a sea of fire, watching the two nasty mortars, together with their owners, fly into the air.
"Good!" The second battalion commander screamed, and smashed his fist into the pine tree next to him with excitement. I really didn't expect that the trouble that the artillery had not solved after bombing for half a day was solved by these small planes. I have to go back and thank Huang Jiahao for that kid. It's just a pity that there are fewer of them, and it would be nice if there were a few more and the concrete fortifications would be blown up. At this moment, there was a more dense buzzing sound overhead, and the second battalion commander looked up with the soldiers, only to see a dozen of them
The drones form a "human" shape, like a flock of geese returning south, happily passing over the treetops overhead.
The fighters, who already knew that these little drones were powerful, couldn't help but cheer in a low voice. The other fighters also knew that with the help of these small planes, they no longer had to use their flesh and blood to wade through the fire net composed of enemy machine gun bullets, some of them clenched their fists tightly with excitement, and some even shed tears of joy.
The herringbone formation composed of these 15 drones is the main force of the drone formation personally commanded by Huang Jiahao, and each aircraft has two mortar shells hanging under its belly. After flying away from the position of the second battalion, this herringbone formation stretched to a height of 100 meters above the ground, and without hesitation, it rushed straight towards the concrete fortifications.
The commander of the second battalion did not look at the small planes in the air, he stared at the concrete fortifications tightly, hoping that these small planes would once again create a miracle and be able to lift the concrete fortifications into the sky.
A minute later, the second battalion commander saw the bright light of the first explosion more than 10 meters in front of the concrete fortifications, and then the bright light of the second explosion flashed, and when the bright light of the third explosion flashed, the rumbling sound of the explosion finally came, but at this time, one explosion after another sounded, and the bright light of the explosion flashed out one after another, and the entire concrete fortification fell into a sea of fire, dozens of explosions sounded one after another, and the smoke and dust of the explosion filled half of the mountain, and the entire small position group, only saw smoke and fire, And I can't tell anything apart.
A cheer rang out from the side of the second battalion commander, and the 30 mortar shells swept away the depression that had been accumulated in everyone's hearts.
Suddenly, the smoke and dust faded slightly, and a corner of the concrete fortification was exposed in the firelight, and disappointingly, the white spots on the concrete increased a lot, but the structure was unharmed, and everyone's hearts were suddenly cooled.
However, the sky full of fireworks on the pass fortification group gave a company commander a chance, they were originally suppressed prostrate on the ground, crawling slowly, the two bombardments of the drone detachment, the fireworks provided them with excellent cover, they took the opportunity to stand up and run forward, and soon rushed through the fatal 200 meters, the bazooka team also arrived at the predetermined position, the young rocket soldiers have carried the bazooka to their shoulders, and really slowly aimed at the concrete fortifications in front.
With the "sizzle...... boom", the first shot hit the target, and then the second shot also hit accurately. Two violent fires erupted above the concrete fortifications, the earth trembled slightly, and two billowing plumes of smoke wrapped the concrete fortifications again.
The commander of the second battalion finally smiled, the caliber of the Iron Fist 3 bazooka reached 90 mm, the total weight in combat state was 15.2 kg, and it was able to penetrate 1.6 meters of concrete fortifications, which was not comparable to a few small mortar shells.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and the concrete fortifications were slowly revealed, first on the left, half a corner, most of them were intact, and then the middle part was also seen, which was smoked by the smoke and fire, but the structure was quite complete. Finally, the right side is also revealed, but it is unchanged from just now.
The second battalion commander's heart couldn't help but sink, the Iron Fist 3 rocket launcher didn't seem to destroy this concrete fortification, and sure enough, a black and faint barrel poked out of the shooting port, and a tongue of fire went straight to the commando team led by the company commander, and the two team members couldn't dodge, and were directly hit by machine gun bullets, rolling and falling backwards.
The second battalion commander's heart was about to break, and in his eyes, it was not the two commandos who fell, but the hundreds of brothers in his second battalion. He couldn't say it, so he had to charge with the whole battalion. Could it be that this concrete fortification is the gate to hell?
