Chapter 129: Large Mortar Position

The defenses of Valley No. 2 were well improved......

Because we know that after the Soviet army occupied valleys 01 and 014, the first to bear the brunt of the battle was valleys 02 and 013...... So let's focus on the defense improvement of valleys 02 and 013 first.

Of course, the defense of the other valleys is also going on at the same time, but in the event of a lack of artillery observers and communication equipment, we will give priority to the next two valleys where we will face the battle.

So it was very ...... More than 30 mortar positions on both sides of Valley 2 are linked to each other. Of course, this kind of connection is completely dependent on the observation and communication of data between mortar positions, and it is hoped that the expected cooperative operation will be achieved, and there will definitely be some unstable factors in this, such as whether the communication is smooth and whether the data is correct...... We couldn't even do a test launch...... The reason is that these mortar positions are still hidden relative to the Soviet army, and the results of the test firing will expose these mortar positions to the reconnaissance of the Soviet army, which is a kind of gain more than worth the loss for us!

But fortunately, I don't plan to rely on this defense, so these shortcomings are still tolerable!

The Soviets soon launched an offensive towards the No. 2 pass...... All the tactics of the Soviet army have not changed, and dozens of helicopters still circle around the mountains on both sides to find fighters, and the Soviet troops at the mountain passes frequently launch trial and control attacks...... It looks like everything is the same as before!

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping looked at this scene and asked beside him: "The tactics of the Soviet army have not changed at all, will they be...... Didn't receive intelligence? ”

"No!" I shook my head and said, "They got ...... Tactics have also changed! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be stunned.

"Did you notice something different about their helicopter formations?" I said, "Before...... Their formations are all relatively average. Every two Mi-24 and three Mi-8 are grouped. This is exactly what it takes to launch an attack on a small mortar position! But now ......"

"Oh!" Zhao Jingping was reminded by me and quickly saw the problem: "Now most of them are two Mi-24 with one Mi-8." But there are two sets of ...... with five Mi-8s."

"That's right!" I said: "Although the difference is not very large, it can be seen that they are already preparing for the attack on large mortar positions...... Obviously, those two formations with five Mi-8s are the main force of the attack, while the others are auxiliary attacks or provide cover......"

"The battalion commander is right!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said, "I want to ...... It is very likely that the Soviets will use other groups to suppress the fire support of the mortar positions around us, and then quickly attack our large mortar positions by virtue of air superiority and superiority in troops...... This means that the Soviet devils have been fooled! Battalion commander...... Let's do it! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

"Do it!" Zhao Jingping quickly conveyed the order through the walkie-talkie.

Suddenly, the mortar positions in the mountains on both sides of Valley 02 exploded...... This round of shells were all fired at the Soviets who were launching a tentative attack on the No. 2 pass, because they were fired at almost the same time, and a considerable part of the mortars were still fired at the same time...... This method was taught to the guerrillas by King Chuang with a group of Chinese mortar shooters...... Because this method is very effective in guerrilla warfare, hit three shots and land at the same time and hide. The enemy helicopters couldn't do anything with us, so all the guerrilla mortars almost went crazy to learn!

But this trick is not something that can be learned if you want to...... It needs to be able to quickly calculate the time when the shell hits the target, the time difference between different charges and the target in the past, and then calculate according to these time differences, and finally achieve the purpose of landing three rounds at the same time.

So many of the guerrillas failed to learn well...... But I also went with them, anyway, the main force of this battle is not them, regardless of whether their cannons land at the same time!

Just because there were more mortars attacking at the same time, dozens of shells exploded over the Soviet army's tentative troops in an instant, but they blew up a Soviet army by surprise and suffered casualties immediately...... You must know that because we didn't dare to expose the mortar position, we couldn't stand it anymore, so we released one or two mortars to support it. Where will there be more than thirty guns fired at the same time, as it is now.

This frightened the Soviet troops, even the helicopters...... In the face of the dozens of targets that were suddenly exposed in front of them, they were at a loss, and they didn't know which one to fight!

My thoughts are...... Anyway, these mortar positions were either found and cleared by helicopters one by one. Either because of the occupation of the Soviet paratroopers and it can't play a role, then it's better to come out once and let it be enough!

But there's a problem here...... That is, the trap we have set can only be one ...... The unit that sets the trap must be a special agent company of the second company, in the words of the other troops...... I'm afraid that even if it succeeds, there will be no way to deal with the Alpha troops of the Soviet army!

Since we only have one agent company, there is only one trap...... Then why did the Soviets choose this mortar position with traps to attack?

But it is not difficult to do so...... Because the fire of anti-aircraft machine guns and the shelling of small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery soon sounded on the battlefield...... Although these things do not pose much threat to the Mi-24, they are enough to cause fatal damage to the Mi-8, especially the Mi-8 that hovers in the air and is ready to lower the infantry!

Thereupon...... Needless to say, which is the large mortar position...... Where there is anti-aircraft firepower, it will definitely not be able to run, not to mention that these anti-aircraft firepower can not only hit helicopters, but also deal with infantry weapons!

Soon the large formation of two helicopters was attracted by the anti-aircraft fire of our army...... At this time, I knew that Zhao Jingping was right, and the Soviet army did not immediately attack the target, but at the same time as suppressing our anti-aircraft fire with the Mi-24, other helicopters reconnoitred the mortar positions around the target that could provide fire cover for them......

To do this, it is actually very simple, take the target as the center of the circle, and then draw a circle with the radius of the range of the mortar of each caliber, and the mortar within this circle is the mortar that can provide support......

Soon, the helicopters flew separately to the mortars...... Their purpose is obvious, to suppress these mortars with firepower, so that they cannot provide reinforcements to the main target!

It's just that...... The real reinforcements weren't really those mortars! (To be continued......)
