Chapter 899 Special Warfare Sortie
Zhou Youfu really did not disappoint Zhang Liguo, Kong Ning, Yang Yun, Monkey, and Bear and other special combat members.
A basket of grenades, two boxes of bullets, and a two-handed knife knife, when this goods were over the mountain, they were almost peaceful, not panting, and their faces were not red, and even the bear, who thought that his physical strength was surprisingly good, was ashamed of himself.
Going up to the summit of the mountain bees on the outskirts of the valley, Zhang Liguo asked the team to rest, and he quickly discovered the battle at the foot of the mountain with a telescope.
The battle situation can only be described as tragic, the support of the bandit battalion has been in place, nearly tens of thousands of people have taken turns to attack the company led by Zhao Laosan, and they are full of energy to clean up the company of the Eighth Route Army that is stuck on the mountain beam like a nail.
Zhao Laosan was shot in the arm, simply bandaged it and continued to fight, he didn't know how many times he repelled the bandits' attacks, he just firmly carried out Ma Dongming's order, nailed to the mountain beam of the outer peaks of the Hukou Mountain Valley, as long as there was still one person alive in his company, he would prevent the bandits from crossing the mountain beam into the valley of Hukou Mountain.
Reinforcements from the bandits had arrived, and they had brought heavy machine guns and small steel cannons, and before each attack, the bandits would bombard for a while, blowing up every inch of the mountain beam, and the casualties could be imagined.
In just a few hours, his company had no less than two platoons wounded and killed, and the soldiers who could still fight, including the lightly wounded, were less than half a company's strength.
Even the political commissar was killed in the bandit shelling, this terrain is not good for trenches, it is surrounded by rocks, it is bombed by artillery, the rocks fly in all directions, and the bomb fragments are as lethal, and it is indeed a hard wound to stop here.
And the bandits seem to be full of strength, and they must take this place, and they will not let them rest at all, and attack in turn.
What frightened Zhao Laosan the most was that the ammunition had run dry, and the carrying capacity of thirty rounds of ammunition for each soldier was simply not enough to consume in a large-scale battle.
Zhang Liguo saw the situation on the mountain beam, and his brows were furrowed.
Simply going down to support Zhao Laosan will become a refueling tactic, not only will it not save Zhao Laosan, but it will fill in all the special operations squadrons.
The location of the mountain beam where Zhao Laosan's company is located cannot withstand the artillery, and besides, they are a special combat team, so they should not fight positional warfare.
Zhang Liguo's telescopes searched each other among the mountain bees, and he remembered that the fat man once took them through another climbing road, although it was a detour, but it was hidden, and the terrain was treacherous, even if ordinary people wanted to climb, it was impossible, but this was commonplace for the special combat team.
"Make a note of the coordinates and request the artillery brigade to provide support for the Eighth Route Army!" Zhang Liguo said to Liang Wenshu, who was carrying a Jianghu-style walkie-talkie next to him.
Liang Wenshu nodded hurriedly, asked the rangefinder to measure the range, and then reported the coordinates to the artillery brigade hidden in the col of Hukou Mountain through the walkie-talkie.
"Let's take a detour!" Zhang Liguo immediately decided, saving people is like fighting fire, if Zhao Laosan's company is exhausted, then there will be no one to stop this group of bandits who are ready to climb the mountain, and when the time comes, it can only be filled by the fat gall special combat team, that is, the situation that can only be ended by fighting the last person.
The team members didn't ask much, but followed him quickly towards another upper peak, the gunfire on the mountain beam became more and more dense, and without looking back, they could guess that the bandits had attacked again by virtue of the density of guns.
The ......mountain artillery and field artillery of Hukou Mountain began to carry out the first round of bombardment of the bandits according to the coordinates provided by the special combat team.
With a whistling whistle that broke through the air, the cannonballs flew straight from Hukou Mountain to the bottom of the peaks on the outskirts of the valley.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
One shell after another landed accurately in the pile of bandits, and the impact brought by the continuous explosion broke the bandits who were hit by the cannon to the point of crying and crying for their mothers, and the bandits who were hit by the fragments fell to the ground, and there were not a few who broke their legs and arms, lying in a pool of blood and wailing.
Hearing the sound of cannons and shells whistling in the air, Zhao Laosan was startled at first, and when it was confirmed that the whistling shells fell directly into the pile of bandits, the depressed mood of the lost soldiers was suddenly very good.
Seeing the bandits being blown to pieces, Zhao Laosan and the remaining soldiers were all inspired, they had also been hit by artillery like this just now, and the artillery on the household at this time helped them, which made them so excited that they almost burst into tears.
"Check the ammunition and equipment in case the bandits fight back!" Seeing that the bandits who were dizzy by the explosion retreated again, Zhao Laosan shouted at the surviving soldiers of the whole company at the top of his voice.
Zhang Liguo led the soldiers along the difficult mountain road to quickly cross the two peaks, some of which were narrow enough for one person to move slowly, but fortunately, this road was often walked in training, so there was no obstacle.
When the team quietly touched another mountain, although the sound of gunfire could be heard, the two sides of the battle could no longer be seen, which was conducive to the soldiers sliding down the cliff more than fifty meters high.
This cliff faces the foot of the mountain, which is also the reason why many people come here to look away, it is not easy to climb up, not to mention, and the strange rocks are craggy, once you lose your footing, there is no possibility of survival.
Therefore, outsiders in this kind of place can't find it at all, and they won't continue to go up when they see this cliff.
But the fat and gallant special combat team is different, they take an extraordinary road, whether it is dangerous or steep, as long as they can pass, they must pass.
The climbing ropes carried are all about 20 meters long, and they are all connected by two, a total of ten, and five ropes are enough to descend.
Ropes were fixed on the rocks, and the first to go down were the old special combat team members, who went down twice, then the heavy equipment, and then their fighters.
The fat man is a firepower person, and the special operations squadron carried a 60 mortar that the fat man got back from the United States, except that he did not have a heavy machine gun.
It's a pity that M1919A6 didn't appear until the end of 42, otherwise the fat man would have replaced the heavy brigade heavy machine gun support fire Makqin long ago.
Of course M1919A6 the painful heat dissipation and the time to replace the barrel still gave him a headache, or the speed at which Makqin replaced the barrel.
There is too much heavy equipment, and the fat and gallant special combat team cannot maneuver, especially in the mountainous areas, so the special operations squadron is not equipped with heavy machine guns, and is equipped with a 60-caliber mortar, which is in charge of four people.
Two people carry the fragments of 60 mortars, one carries the main parts of the mortar, and three people carry shells and accessories.
The special combat team is then equipped with two Type 89 grenadiers, and four people carry the grenadiers and ammunition, which does not account for the team's establishment, but the 60 mortars for four people occupy the establishment.
The farthest distance of the Type 89 grenadier is only 500 meters, which is not enough to strike at targets in depth, and the 82-caliber mortars equipped by the artillery brigade are too heavy and not suitable for the requirements of rapid maneuvering of the special combat team.
Therefore, the fat man made two lightweight American-made 60 mortars to make up for the shortcomings of the special combat team's two 89-type grenadiers with a short firing distance...... (To be continued.) )
