185. Chapter 27

At dawn, all the participating teams arrived at the predetermined area, and Xu Zhijun and the team responsible for the main attack also lurked at the front of the position, including Zhao Lei's guard platoon at the forefront and the 'Snow Wolf' squad behind him.

The 54# Heights, which had been quiet for nearly two days, were shrouded in a faint mist at this time, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, some of the bombed-out fortifications were still smoking, and cold guns were fired from time to time on the position.

Xu Zhijun gave the order to the approaching demining troops to open up an attack channel.

Different from the previous battles for the heights, this attack was not covered by heavy artillery fire, nor did it swallow mountains and rivers like before, everything was carried out quietly, and the team that launched the attack in three directions was the first to dispatch the engineer squad to break the obstacles and clear the mines.

But it would have been impossible to imagine that all this could be done quietly, and it didn't take long for a demining team on the flank to trigger a pressure mine, which caused a series of explosions, and the mist, which had been providing cover for the march of the troops, also became cloudy as the sun rose, and the scene in front of the position was unobstructed.

The Vietnamese army, who was also extremely tired, snuggled up in the trenches to rest, this was an order from Le Hong, and before leaving, Nguyen Van Hung specially told him to keep his position without unloading his armor, and not to worry about the enemy's shelling, because the artillery on the opposite side would not blow up their own soldiers with their own shells anyway.

The Vietnamese did not expect that the Chinese army, which had suffered such heavy losses, would launch an offensive in such a short period of time, and that the troops that had usually suffered heavy defeats, setbacks, and casualties would retreat to rest, and the newly readjusted troops would generally have a process of handover and familiarization with the original garrison, which would usually give them a few days of respite.

But this time the situation is very different.

The sound of the mine explosion woke up the Vietnamese troops on the position, and at the same time prompted the fighters in charge of clearing the obstacle to turn the covert operation into an emergency operation.

"Open the passage quickly and attack in five minutes!"

Time waits for no one, Xu Zhijun gritted his teeth and issued a death order.

In an instant, several detonating cords flew to the minefield in front, and the explosion of the detonating cord detonated the mines planted at the front of the position, and a violent explosion shook the earth, and at this time, the Vietnamese troops on the mountain also began to shoot at the EOD team below the mountain.

Seeing that the time for launching the attack was getting closer and closer, and the attack channel was still not opened, the EOD squad leader was anxious and stood up suddenly.

"Brothers, the brothers above are waiting for us, everyone rush with me!" After saying that, the EOD squad leader took the lead and rushed into the minefield.

"Fire cover!"

Following Xu Zhijun's order, several fire support groups composed of several heavy machine guns quickly opened fire on the positions of the Vietnamese troops on the top of the mountain, and the lines of fire flew to the top of the mountain.

The squad leader who was the first to rush into the minefield did not run far before he stepped on the mine, and everyone saw with their own eyes that the squad leader was shaken out by the powerful explosion, and when he shook his feet again, only half of his right arm was left, and blood was flowing everywhere all over his body.

With a roar from the squad leader, he rushed forward again, and was soon blown up by the mine again, this time he couldn't get up again, both of his legs had been blown off, his face was full of flesh and blood, the squad leader used his last bit of strength to turn his head, glanced at his comrades behind him and the mountains in the distance, where there was his motherland, his home, and then resolutely rolled towards the minefield in front......

The soldiers of the EOD team saw their squad leader being blown to pieces.

"Squad leader!"

With the screams of the fighters, several fighters of the obstacle removal group jumped up at once, lined up in a horizontal line and rushed to the minefield in front.

An offensive passage of almost two hundred meters was opened.

The 'Snow Wolf' team members here are the first to see the tragedy of the real war, although they have witnessed a lot of death and sacrifice in the past few days when they came to the front line, but the real scene in front of them still strongly shocked their hearts, tears have blurred the eyes of these people, the tower-like strong man Bagan stretched out his hand and wiped the tears on his face fiercely, looking at Xu Zhijun not far away, just waiting for his battalion commander's order, he will be the first to rush out.

Xu Zhijun held a gun in one hand, and with the other hand, he tightly grasped some thorny branches around him, and blood flowed down the gaps between his fingers, but he didn't know that Xu Zhijun almost gave the order to attack from between his clenched teeth.

Several flares flew into the air.

At the same time as the signal flare was raised, the three-way attack team rushed out of the stealth place at the same time, and the assault team composed of several machine gunners opened the way in front with machine guns, and the guard platoon led by Zhao Lei quickly rushed through the minefield.

Seeing that they were about to occupy a high ground in front, countless tongues of fire suddenly emerged from the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain, and some mortar shells exploded left and right in front of Zhao Lei's assault platoon.

The Vietnamese army's covertly arranged high, low, vertical and horizontal crossfire suppressed the attacking team in a small open area composed of rocks and mounds, and several soldiers running in the front were knocked to the ground by the flying bullets.

At noon, Le Hung received an urgent telegram from Nguyen Van Thiung, who told him that the artillery regiment that had provided strong support for their attack on the mountain had been destroyed this morning, which might mean that the other side would launch a new round of attacks at any time, and asked him to step up his precautions.

This news was disastrous for Li Hong, who immediately ordered all his soldiers to quickly strengthen their positions, and at the same time he added several hidden firing points in the depth of the front line, and all personnel were not allowed to leave their positions.

After more than ten hours of busyness, when he had almost arranged it, and it was past midnight, Li Hong, who had also not had a good rest, could not stop the sleepiness, and fell asleep in the trench like his soldiers.

Feeling that as soon as he closed his eyes, Li Hong was awakened by the sound of explosions, and he quickly came to the forefront of the position, and at the same time gave the battle order.

Through the binoculars, Li Hong saw that the army on the opposite side had opened several passages at the front of their position, and he was also shocked by the fearless sacrifice spirit of the other army.

Li Hong made up his mind to wrestle with the other party one more time here.

"Artillery preparation!"

Although they lacked artillery support from their rear, their bazookas, recoilless guns, and mortars on the mountain were also not to be underestimated, and the reason why this company was able to fight a tough battle was inseparable from their powerful firepower configuration.

With the sound of heavy explosions and the crossfire of light and heavy machine guns, the troops' attack was halted.

Another part of the attack team led by Xu Zhijun was also suppressed not far from Zhao Lei's first echelon, and behind Xu Zhijun were the members of the 'Snow Wolf'.

At the moment when Xu Zhijun issued the order to attack, these 'snow wolf' team members were about to jump out, but they were stopped by Xu Zhijun's strict order, although Xu Zhijun already knew that these people were different from the recruits who had been replenished in the past, but after all, this was the battlefield of blood Linlin, and he didn't want these young lives who had no actual combat experience and had been cultivated by the country for many years to die prematurely on the battlefield.

And this really stimulates the self-esteem of the 'Snow Wolf' team members, they don't want to let themselves be protected in their arms like a swaddling baby, and the 'Snow Wolf' wants to prove himself on the battlefield, proving that his years of hard training are not fists and embroidered legs, but a cold blade.

The sudden rapid firepower made the attacking team stop advancing, and some of the firepower points detected before were either destroyed by the bazooka, or were subject to the pincer of the fire support group to form a confrontation, but now these emerging firepower points are some hidden hidden firepower points, years of painstaking management have made the Vietnamese army know the clear bunkers here, and some of the pillboxes and hidden passages that were destroyed or buried before were rebuilt and camouflaged by them, and they only launched a fatal blow to the attacking team at a critical moment.

"Knock out the enemy's fire!" Xu Zhijun shouted the order.

A soldier with a bazooka jumped out and rushed forward under the cover of rocks and craters.

Before he could go far, a bullet pierced the warrior's chest, and the warrior fell backwards due to the powerful impact of the bullet.

Immediately afterwards, another fighter also rushed out, and also did not run far before he was knocked to the ground.

"Machine gun cover! Knock it out for me! ”

At this time, Xu Zhijun's eyes were already on fire, and the longer his team was delayed here, it meant that he would pay more casualties, if he could not take advantage of the panic of the Vietnamese army's position to rush to the front, once the opponent rearranged the defensive line, his attack would be more difficult.

'Bang! ’

Before the other group of demomen lying beside Xu Zhijun could get up, a sudden gunshot rang out not far from them, even in the chaotic battlefield, this gunshot seemed so deafening.

With the sound of this gunshot, a machine-gun position on the mountain suddenly fell silent.

"Well played!"

Xu Zhijun applauded and couldn't help but look back.

Everyone looked at the battle ahead, and no one noticed what was happening behind them, until everyone turned around to see that the soldier who had just shot had jumped out of hiding.

This figure swept past everyone's eyes at once, and the speed of the figure made Xu Zhijun not recognize who rushed over for a while, but when he saw who was jumping in front of him, he still couldn't help but scold:

"Bastard, come back to me! Hide!

It was Liang Qing who jumped out, at this time she could no longer hear Xu Zhijun's angry roar, and her eyes only had the enemy opposite.

Everyone here had never seen such a fast, agile body, except for the few members of the 'Snow Wolves'.

This is what they call a 'ghost' body.
