Chapter 64: 72 Death Battle 6
Sure enough, it came, and thanks to the fact that the men did not destroy the telegraph car, the fighters who were on duty in the telegraph van early in the morning suddenly reported that the enemy's troops would arrive by the afternoon at the latest.
Everyone contacted the camp, and after Liu Qi knew the situation, he promised to send infantry to support, and it would take about an hour to arrive, and everyone was secretly relieved to hear such news. Looking at the surrounding terrain is high in the middle of the road and low on both sides, Huo Zhenxiao decided to ambush the other party on the road that the other party must pass, the forest path is the best ambush location, after all, the foundation of the road is higher than the surroundings, and there is no bunker, it is easy to be shot on it, everyone is divided into two groups, and ambush positions are arranged along the road on both sides of the road, and a row of Type 66 anti-infantry mines is also set up on the side of the road.
Time waited for no one, and the crowd immediately began to move, two 96 and two 59 were arranged in the woodland on both sides, and they were also hidden by tree branches and terrain.
The anti-infantry mines set up on the side of the road are set to be activated manually at a long range, and they are directly detonated when the opponent's personnel carrier comes up, striving to kill and injure a large number of enemies at one time.
The ambush was set up at the entrance to the village, and after a brief raid, they retreated into the village street fighting, trying to drag down the enemy as best they could. It was soon noon, and the reinforcements sent by the camp also arrived, and in view of the abundant equipment at hand, everyone decided to equip the two with a Type 69 rocket launcher, so that the overall attack capability of the troops would be greatly improved.
The people lying in the snow waited boredly, and when the rebel reinforcements did not come in the evening, everyone had no choice but to camp and rest first, leaving a few sentries to watch. The next day, Luke and the other soldiers suddenly woke up, only to see that the sentry was actually sleeping, although Luke was very dissatisfied, but they couldn't be blamed, because they didn't let them take shifts in the first place, and the experience was not good.
The reason why everyone woke up was because the roar of the tank engine was heard in the distance, and everyone immediately took up their weapons and entered the ambush position, Luke picked up the binoculars, and his face changed in an instant.
I saw that there were 5 Type 96 tanks at the head, followed closely by three Type 92 infantry fighting vehicles, and 6 troop transport trucks behind the infantry fighting vehicles.
The rebel tanks were still moving along the road, not even noticing that the muzzles of the guns deep in the forest were pointing at them. When the opponent's personnel carrier entered the mine array, everyone pulled the explosive rope violently, and for a while, the violent steel balls swept the opponent's convoy, but they never expected that the opponent's personnel carrier actually had steel plates to protect it inside. The directional mine didn't hurt the rebels at all, I saw the rebel soldiers quickly jump out of the truck, and immediately ran towards Huo Zhenxiao's side, and the rain of bullets knocked down many people on the other side, but they still entered Luke's shooting blind spot.
At the same time as the mine exploded, the own tank also fired, and the long-pole armor-piercing projectile flew quickly towards the opponent's side armor, and in an instant, the three rebel tanks were shot and smoked from the bullets.
But there are still a lot of problems with the old weapons, the 59 artillery control system of their own side is too old, and the shells that could have inflicted heavy damage on the opponent only hit the thickest part of the armor in the front of the opponent's turret, while the rest of the rebel tanks immediately locked its position, quickly turned to the direction of Huo Zhenxiao and rushed down.
Luke saw that the other party's two tanks and infantry fighting vehicles and soldiers were rushing towards Huo Zhenxiao's position, and he instantly understood that these people might be regular soldiers, and their reactions and tactical arrangements were very fast. He immediately commanded: "All of them, support the brothers on the other side, on!"
In a matter of seconds, both sides made the decision to fight, only to hear two cannon shots on the other side of the road, and the two old 59 turrets were killed by ammunition and exploded into the sky.
At this time, the opposing tanks also rushed into their own infantry positions, and the fighters in the melee used Type 69 rocket launchers to shoot rockets at the rebel tanks. Although one of the tanks was destroyed by a dense burst of rockets, the other tank retreated intact under the cover of the rebel infantry.
At this time, Luke and the others also climbed the path, only to see that the rebel Type 96 tanks were constantly retreating, but the side of the turret was just facing Luke and them. The captured 96A seized the opportunity to hit it with a single armor-piercing bullet, and the turret of the opponent's tank was directly blown into the sky.
The crowd stood on the roadbed and fired at the retreating rebels, but apparently their inexperience still killed a lot of people. The 25mm machine guns on the rebels' 92-infantry vehicles fired wildly at the crowd on the roadbed. Before Luke could react, more than a dozen soldiers were instantly destroyed by the cannon shells. Everyone hurriedly lay on the ground, and the Type 96, which was splashed by the sparks of the machine gun, finally filled the shells at this time, and the two high-explosive shells directly overturned a large number of rebels and infantry vehicles.
The rebels had no fire support, retreated one after another, and were constantly bombarded by artillery and machine gun fire, and the rebels finally couldn't withstand the pressure and began to collapse. The rhythmic retreat turned into a rout, and the rebel soldiers began to run backwards, becoming targets and being mercilessly killed.
Just when Luke was fighting happily, suddenly a soldier ran over and called Luke away, Luke didn't say anything no matter what the soldier asked, just silently pulled him back, and when he reached the destination, Luke was completely blind.
I saw that the body armor was untied on one side of Huo Zhenxiao's ribs, and a piece of the side skirt of the tank was inserted on the side, and the blood stained the surrounding snow red, and the medical soldiers were helpless to sprinkle hemostatic powder on Huo Zhenxiao's wounds, but this was a futile thing at all, the blood still couldn't stop, Huo Zhenxiao's expression was already in a trance, and when he saw Luke coming, he weakly stretched out his arm. Luke hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, looking at him at a loss, the corners of Huo Zhenxiao's mouth had begun to bleed, it must have been bleeding inside.
Luke's eyes were red, he usually liked to talk, but now he didn't know what to say, and tears kept flowing. Huo Zhenxiao's mouth slowly opened and opened, it should be something to say, Luke hurriedly put his ear on it, only to hear Huo Zhenxiao pause, and then tried hard to take out a very carefully protected photo from the pocket of the body armor with his left hand.
Luke hurriedly picked up the photo and said anxiously: "Old Huo...... Hodgson! Hold on, don't sleep, ......, don't sleep!! Please! Don't sleep!"
Huo Zhenxiao smiled indifferently, the blood on the corner of his mouth had begun to flow out continuously, and he used the last trace of strength in his life to say hard: "Brother, I guess I can't accompany you, help me find them!" Brothers...... Promise...... Promise me! Wait for the country to be restored! Find a good place for my brother to bury!"
Hearing this, Luke's tears were completely uncontrollable, so he could only keep nodding his head and choking up, "Don't worry, brother! I'm sure I'll make it happen!" When Huo Zhenxiao heard this, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and he left this world with a tilt of his head.
Luke knelt in the snow and wept silently, holding the carefully folded photo and its cover, slowly opened the wallet, and when he saw the photo inside, Luke couldn't help it completely.
I saw that there were two photos in the black wallet, one was a group photo of Luke and Huo Zhenxiao when they moved to the new base, in which Liu Qi, Li Mansha, Wang Ruijie, Guo Di, Rocky, Luke, Liu Qianwei and other original founders also wrote "My eternal comrades-in-arms" with a black pen below
The other is a photo of Huo Zhenxiao wearing a military uniform and his family, Huo Zhenxiao and his wife, as well as his parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law and a cute little girl, took a photo together, with the words "Imperial Capital, I will go back to see you!" Xiaoli still has beans!"
