Chapter 603: Surprise Attack (Second Update)
On the first Wednesday of April 1976, 60,000 troops were in charge of the family, and they occupied 1/3 of Xijin's land with a thunderous force, which made the three masters feel that they were doing it again, and they felt that Xijin was nothing more than that.
However, in the second week, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the second week, more than 20 helicopters were lost, more than 2,000 people were killed, more than 3,000 people were wounded, and nearly 10,000 people withdrew from the battlefield, because one person was injured in the Sanshan area, and it took at least 5~6 people to transport the wounded out of the mountainous area.
In the past, there were helicopters, and the three masters could send helicopters to transport the wounded, but since the loss of more than 20 helicopters, there are no more helicopters willing to transport the wounded.
The biggest losses were the artillery units, and even the troops of the three masters did not dare to enter the mountains now.
Everyone knows the terrain of the mountainous areas, and generally only the river valley area has relatively gentle and spacious places, and once the soldiers of the three masters rest in these gentle and spacious places, they will not know where the mortar shells are flying from.
Although fighter jets come to the mountains every day to drop bombs, the effect is minimal.
The people in charge of the three masters did not know that the Protector Army began to build various hidden fortifications as early as 1974, and originally thought that the three masters began to operate in 1974.
Unexpectedly, the three masters were given an extra year, and they only started to launch in 1975.
If the three masters had carried out the operation in 1974, they could have judged the place where the fortifications were built from the sky, but after more than a year, the traces left behind have long been gone.
Of course, what the three masters don't know is that there is more than one artillery radar dozens of kilometers away, and they always pay attention to the artillery of the three masters.
These are several artillery radars with phased array antennas, and at a greater distance there are large early warning radars.
And in some hidden places there are also radars similar to the Simberlin artillery radar.
For radar, it is easier to detect thirty or fifty kilometers, but it is difficult for infantry to break through a line of defense of thirty or fifty kilometers in the mountains.
In late April 1976, although the Ministry of National Defense issued repeated orders, the troops on the front line did not take any action at all.
On the one hand, I don't know where the mortar shells came from, and in these mountainous areas with a drop of more than a few hundred kilometers, it is simply wishful thinking to want to climb over a mountain to pursue the mortars.
What's more, the Protector Army also has large-caliber sniper rifles, and even helicopters have been shot down by more than 20 sniper rifles.
As for other armored vehicles and tanks, don't think about it, it is difficult for people in this kind of mountainous area to come, and the logistics materials are all livestock.
On the other hand, the wounded are not treated in time, and if they were injured, there used to be helicopters to pick them up, but now there is no such thing.
Helicopter pilots, for the most part, were of high caste and did not care at all about the death of these ordinary soldiers.
In May 1976, at the repeated urging of the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense transferred two of the most elite mountain divisions from the northwest, and attached to an artillery division.
Many people think that the mountain division of the three masters is the elite of the elite, but the positioning of the mountain division of the three masters is a low-level version of the garrison force, which is a consumable, and the personnel in it are also the lowest people.
The defense minister of the three leading countries once made it clear that the soldiers of the mountain division lacked combat enthusiasm and were full of an atmosphere of mercenary.
In fact, the soldiers of the three masters originally regarded being a soldier as a mixed meal.
This is the case from top to bottom, in order not to retire early, the soldiers of the three masters will take the initiative to dedicate how much of their salary to the commander, otherwise they will be retired.
The three chiefs of the family, the whole family are supported by the army, including the servants of the family, the fuel of the car, the house, the children's schooling, medical care, and so on.
The Fourteenth Army, the Third and Fourth and the two elite mountain divisions were transferred from the northwest.
These two mountain divisions are stationed in Ladakh, and the artillery divisions are artillery divisions directly under the Central Command.
Therefore, on the 7,200 square kilometers of land in Xijin, the three masters nominally arranged eight divisions, the original five divisions, two mountain divisions and one artillery division that were added later.
The newly arrived third, fourth, and second mountain divisions looked at the mountainous areas in front of them, where the lowest drop was several hundred or thousands of meters, and formulated a scientific and rational battle plan.
That is, by cutting the encirclement and clearing, that is, encircling the mountain where it is located along the ravine, and then sending troops to clear the entire mountain, and the artillery unit is responsible for support.
Because this plan looks like irrigating this mountainous area, the Ministry of National Defense named this action plan as the rodent eradication operation.
This battle plan was quickly appreciated by the Ministry of Defense, so the tens of thousands of troops of the three masters began to march in unison, cutting and encircling along the river valley.
The artillery division of the three masters has more than 8,000 people, probably more than 100 howitzers, and this time it is also specially equipped with rocket artillery imported from Fat Bear.
Several other divisions were also armed with more mortars.
At the beginning of June 1976, the rodent eradication plan of the three masters was officially launched.
Tens of thousands of people poured into the mountains again, and the battle plan of the three masters was perfect, but it was a pity that these troops marched fast and slow in the valley for various reasons.
Anyone who has been there knows how difficult it is to walk in the mountains south of the Himalayas, not to mention that these soldiers carry weapons and equipment with their baggage.
First of all, there are the two new mountain divisions of the most elite Ladakh.
On the first day, the two divisions went well, advancing several kilometers.
However, the commanders of these two divisions had no idea that there were people in the high mountains who were watching all this closely.
When resting at night, the troops of these two divisions were also scattered and not concentrated together at all.
The next morning, the officers and men of the two mountain divisions were even more excited, and all the officers and men were in fear throughout the morning, but not a single attack was made.
The officers and men who had been on the road for a long time were preparing to eat, and it was at this time that the sound of mortar shells whistling sounded.
The soldiers in charge of observation in the two mountain divisions were stunned, because there was the sound of mortar shells whistling in all directions.
How to report the coordinates to the artillery units in the back?
That's not all, there was a huge gunshot, and the mules and horses in charge of logistics in the army were broken in half.
The rest of the mules and horses were so frightened that they scattered, and the roads in the mountains were already narrow, and many of the soldiers were rammed into the rushing river.
Finally, the soldiers in charge of observation in the unit discovered the artillery position on the hill and called for artillery support.
The artillery divisions in the rear had long been gearing up and immediately opened fire when they heard that the front-line troops were under attack.
But what these people forget is that the howitzer has a long range, but it is a bit useless for anticlines, especially on very steep hills like the southern Himalayas.
More than 100 howitzers came with three bursts, and then rockets from one side also began to fire.
"These three masters are really rich!" After firing three shells, the mortar squad on the mountain quickly changed positions and did not stop at all.
Because the mortar squad is a training for troops with artillery radar.
Moreover, the mountain has long been full of various supplies, and a lot of materials were transported by helicopter between 1974 and 1975.
It's not like the current three-boss, where supplies can only be delivered through ground forces.
The artillery of the third master was a volley, and the rebels who had just attacked their own troops had no news.
However, two artillery radars dozens of kilometers away accurately calculated the location of the artillery positions of the mountain division.
Who said that artillery shells should be used to deal with artillery, Xijin's territory was originally mountainous, and the artillery division must only be placed on flat ground.
On the hill not far from the artillery division's station, two Protector soldiers in camouflage uniforms came out of the cave behind the mountain, one holding a huge sniper rifle and the other holding a telescope.
It was in the cave that the two received the location of the artillery position through walkie-talkies, knowing that it was behind their own mountain.
At the same time, two Protector soldiers from behind another mountain received the news.
The members of the two sniper teams quickly climbed over the hill and saw the artillery division in the distance with binoculars.
More than 100 howitzers are so conspicuous, and there are trucks next to them, and stacks of ammunition.
The soldiers of the three masters are stacking ammunition.
And that's not even counting the fact that 2 kilometers away from the artillery position in a straight line, two soldiers came out of a hidden cave in the cliff, two of them carrying an 80-caliber heavy mortar, which was transported by helicopter up the mountain.
The two quickly fixed the mortar in a preset position and began to aim against the coordinates.
The firing range of the 80 mortar can reach more than 2.8 kilometers, and of course this mortar must be produced by Big Brother Fat Bear.
The two gunners skillfully adjusted the angle and began firing shells.
In less than a minute, two gunners fired all five shells.
Then he didn't care about the effect of the blow at all, and directly pushed this mortar next to it, in the ditch that had been prepared a long time ago, and then the two of them ran along the path.
The officers and men of the artillery division directly under the Central Command felt that something was wrong.
When the first mortar shell fell, these officers and soldiers felt a chrysanthemum tighten.
At this moment, gunshots rang out again on the hills on the left and right sides behind.
The shell box placed behind a howitzer suddenly exploded, and together with several boxes of shells, the explosion directly destroyed several nearby howitzers.
An even bigger disaster was the sudden explosion of more shells in the tent in the distance.
And at this time, there were mortars falling from the sky, and even MLRS in the distance exploded suddenly.
Before many officers and men of the mountain division could react, they were directly blown away by the huge explosion.
The General Command, not far from the artillery division, immediately gave an order for helicopter formations to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding hills.
Helicopter formations have long been prepared, but they are preparing for a rocket-covered attack on the front line.
As soon as these helicopters flew up, they didn't know where the sniper bullets came from, and they hit them directly, and some even hit the rockets directly, causing the entire helicopter to explode.
And at this time the front-line troops also suffered a catastrophe, all the hills were pouring mortar shells under the foot of the mountain, all the hills, whether in the front, in the back, on the left and on the right.
Along with the bullets from the sniper rifle and the bullets from the machine gun.
Because the soldiers of the three masters carried out the rodent extermination operation, they were all in the valley.
The soldiers of the three masters have nowhere to hide, and if they attack in one direction, then as long as they are close to the bottom of the mountain wall in the direction of the attack, there can be a dead end.
However, the two sides of the hill formed a cross fire, and although you can know the location of these firing points on the hill at this time, it is a pity that the artillery division behind has been heavily damaged.
It was only 10 minutes, and the mortars on the mountain, as well as all kinds of machine guns, rifles, and sniper rifles, only attacked for 10 minutes, and there was no sound.
The remaining soldiers of the three masters were in shock, and finally heard the sound of their own fighters.
Then the soldiers threw down all their equipment and ran back frantically, it would be foolish not to run, it was obvious that the fighters were coming from the mountains.
Others find some big rocks to hide underneath or somewhere else to start hiding.
The fighters of the three masters took turns bombing the hills, which lasted for two hours.
However, two hours later, as soon as the fighters of the three masters left, the people on the various hills appeared again, and the soldiers of the three masters who were rushing into a group of fleeing in a hurry at the bottom of the mountain suffered again.
Then after another 10 minutes of fighting, the people on the hill turned off again, and the soldiers of the three masters knew that maybe the fighters were coming again.
However, this time, the soldiers of the three masters had just come out of their hiding place, and they were beaten again by the mountain when they wanted to run.
The soldiers in charge of the three families did not know at all, and these Protector troops on the mountain could know if there were fighter planes coming and could give a few minutes in advance, because there was an air warning radar far away.
The soldiers of the three masters hid themselves one after another, even if there was no movement outside, they did not dare to show their heads, and waited until the evening, when these soldiers ran out of the mountain in the dark.
The high-level leaders of the three masters were confused, how much money had been lost in the past half a day, and they had obviously searched on the mountain, why did so many people pop up, and where did they have so much money to build so many fortifications.
Because the three masters had already discovered some hidden fortifications through searching, and of course they had also found heavy mortars attacking the artillery division, the people of the three masters couldn't figure out how these dozens of kilograms of things came to this cliff.
There are places where no one can go up, and there are hidden fortifications and heavy mortars.
In half a day, 15,000 people were missing, and the artillery division directly under the Central Command lost more than two-thirds, more than 100 howitzers, only a single digit remained, and more than 20 multiple rocket launchers were all destroyed.
Of the more than 8,000 soldiers, only more than 2,000 remained, and a large part of them were missing, and all the division commanders, deputy division commanders, and staff officers of the artillery division were killed.
The top management of the three masters was stunned and angry, and the three masters asked two neighbors of Xijin to do something to Xijin together.
It's a pity that when Xijin's two neighbors saw this scene, where did they dare to do anything, and they refused the request of the three masters one after another, and these two neighbors are now thinking that these three masters don't seem to be good, so many people have died.
At the end of June 1976, the three leaders ordered Xijin's unit to search all the hills inch by inch, and at the same time mobilized six divisions from the Western Theater and the Northwest Theater, and at the same time purchased 50 Helicopters from Fat Bear, and at the same time purchased a lot of aerial bombs.
However, when the mobilized troops arrived in the central region, the first heavy rain of the rainy season was ushered in.
At this time, the neighbors to the west of the three masters suddenly broke out, gathered all the planes in the country, and armored troops and tanks raided (Bo) Crane in a lightning raid, and destroyed some of the experimental institutions of the three masters in this raid, and released the photos of the scene the next day.
And just half an hour after the photo was released, Bald Eagle announced sanctions against the three masters, and urgently convened the United Nations General Assembly, asking the United Nations General Assembly to send a team of experts to conduct a thorough investigation of some of the three masters' tests.
At the same time, Niu Niu and Gallic chickens also made statements at the first time.
In addition, the three countries announced that they would form a coalition to blockade the ports of the three masters, and demanded that the three masters open certain tests for the United Nations investigation team to investigate.
The three masters were given a blow to the head, because this incident was too fast, how could the neighbors in the northwest know exactly where the test site was, and also mobilized the strength of the whole country to carry out this raid, so they were not afraid of swooping down and causing other defense lines to fail?
And bald eagles, these Western politicians, reacted so quickly?
The person in charge of the third boss immediately woke up: This is all planned, and you have just transferred people from the Western Theater and the Northwest Theater to leave, and your side launched an attack, and it happened to be in the first rainstorm.
This news has made the whole world confused, how did this matter develop to the current situation?
However, a discerning person can see at a glance that the old rival to the west of the three masters can make a desperate bet, and there must be definite information.
The three masters scolded Bald Eagle in the international community, and the plane crash of their family a few years ago, which led to the death of more than 100 mushroom experts, was planned by Bald Eagle.
The three masters are talking about the mysterious incident of the 1966 Dr. Baba plane crash.
And the experiment of his own home is so secret, the only thing he can know is the moon in the sky of the bald eagle.
However, Bald Eagle denied this claim, we don't know about it, it's between your opponents.
Now let's check it now, or we're going to do it.
At the same time, Bald Eagle also condemned the fat bear, saying that the fat bear was spreading mushroom technology everywhere.
The fat bear, of course, denied it.
The attitude of the three leaders is very tough, and the bald eagle announced that it will send a second aircraft carrier to the Indian Ocean to resolutely maintain peace in the Indian Ocean.
At the same time, the old men in the Middle East have always opposed any form of mushroom in the three masters.
At this time, a large country in the East announced that the highway from the plateau to Yadong was officially broken through, and it could meet the conditions for opening to traffic all year round, because all the tunnels dug by shield machines were used.
