Chapter 1049: First Contact Battle

Lin Sheng subconsciously squatted down and hid himself in the grass.

"Holy!"

He immediately touched the clothes on his body, and then touched the helmet on his head.

The smoke canister did not detonate.

I didn't get hit.

Niu Shilin leaned over, carefully climbed to the top of the slope, separated a little gap from the grass, and looked in the direction where the gunshots came.

The bamboo grove below was filled with blue smoke.

In this skirmish, the reconnaissance battalion was organized as the blue side, and when hit, the smoke canisters on their heads emitted blue smoke.

"It's our company that has been attacked!"

Niu Shilin immediately took out the reconnaissance telescope and began to search in the direction of the bamboo forest, and soon, more than 100 meters outside the bamboo forest, six amphibious infantry combat vehicles were found parked on the sand, and the 12.7 mm large-caliber machine gun on the roof of the vehicles began to fire continuously.

One by one, the soldiers climbed out of the roof of the amphibious infantry chariot, quickly dispersed into an offensive formation, and outflanked the bamboo forest from the flanks in two ways.

Playing infantry combat with coordinated tactics is the specialty of the armored infantry battalion.

The strength here is at least two platoons.

It seems that the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment had studied the terrain of Shiratori Island in detail, and as soon as he landed on the island, he first sent troops to control the water source and several important food sources.

There is almost no fresh water on Shiratori Island, and there is excess fresh water that you can't drink and can only bathe.

As the commander of the first battalion, Zheng Shengli is certainly not a fool.

Military maps and intelligence gathering had provided enough information to back him up to know where the island was most important.

For example, where is the easiest place to get water.

Where is the easiest way to get food.

Where is the best place to retreat to the outlying islands.

He highlighted them all.

After landing on the island, one of the armored infantry companies used high mobility to control the coastline, and the two mounted infantry companies entered the north and south ends of the island, one by one, towards the central encirclement.

The machine-gun company quickly searched for a commanding height near the coastline, established fixed firing points, controlled all beaches within line of sight, and coordinated with the infantry companies patrolling along the route around the island, and immediately intercepted any scouts who tried to escape into the sea, and not a single one could be put into the sea.

In addition, Zheng Shengli also formulated a set of support play styles that echo each other.

Because there are mountains on the middle line of Shiratori Island, and the scouts are good at jungle warfare, the armored infantry company has an absolute advantage in the flat ground comrades, but the armored car cannot drive into the mountains, although the 12.7 large-caliber high-level machine gun on the roof occupies a great firepower advantage, but it can only be a direct firearm.

You must know that the armed reconnaissance company solemnly brought out has always been famous for its extremely high quality of individual soldiers in the 4th Division, and it can be used as one as ten.

No one doubted the individual combat capability of the 1st Company of the reconnaissance battalion, just as no one doubted the solemn individual combat capability.

Zheng Shengli is not a reckless officer.

If you are fighting, you have to make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

What is the advantage of armored infantry in the face of scouts?

It is definitely not a single combat capability, but also a jungle combat capability.

The biggest advantages are firepower, numbers, infantry tactics and coordination of various arms.

An infantry battalion with not only an armored infantry company, but also a machine gun company, as well as an artillery company.

Although it is not a cannon, the 60 small guns in the infantry company, the 12.7 anti-aircraft machine gun of the machine gun company, and the recoilless gun and 82 mortars of the artillery company, it is not too easy to take out the scouts who only have 95 assault rifles, light machine guns and 85/88 sniper rifles.

NOT TO MENTION THAT THOSE SMALL ARMS CAN'T PENETRATE THEIR AMPHIBIOUS ARMORED INFANTRY VEHICLES, EVEN IF THEY CAN, AT LEAST COMPARED WITH THE 12.7MM HIGH-LEVEL MACHINE GUN ON THE ROOF, THERE ARE INHERENT SHORTCOMINGS IN RANGE.

What's more, Zheng Shengli knows the situation on White Bird Island well.

The island is only 56 ordinary kilometers, and the horizontal and longitudinal distances are within the coverage of 82 mortars.

The three platoons of the mortar company are deployed at three different points, and as long as each company encounters resistance during the clearing process, the coordinates are sent to the battalion headquarters by radio, and the battalion headquarters will send instructions to the artillery company, and soon the mortar fire can cover the area.

Although it is not a real shell, if the order is given, the scout within the range of the artillery fire will be considered "killed".

This plan looks seamless.

Sure enough, after the scouts in the bamboo forest were discovered, they were not at all opponents of the two armored infantry platoons.

The large-caliber machine guns on six armored vehicles instantly covered the entire bamboo forest.

The scouts inside began to fight back, but they could not penetrate the armored vehicle because of the firing parameters of their guns, and they could not hit the machine gunners behind the shutters, so they could only watch their own men being harvested.

Soon, the scouts in the bamboo forest began to signal retreat after "killing" several people.

As soon as the infantry saw the scouts retreating towards the mountains, they immediately stopped and were not in a hurry to pursue.

The platoon commander who organized the attack ordered the machine gunners on the armored vehicles to continue the fire suppression, blocking the retreat of the scouts with overshoot shots, while hiding in a ditch on the edge of the forest to send artillery fire coordinates to the battalion headquarters.

For a moment, two scouts who tried to rush into the mountain were immediately smoked by machine guns, and they were so angry that they took off their helmets and smashed them on the ground.

Wretch!

The scout, who is known as one as ten, was beaten by two infantry platoons as soon as he made contact.

"Diao Ke, Wen Haonan, Chen Yang, the two of you go to the right flank and are responsible for observing the vigilance. Squad deputy, you take the machine gunner and three soldiers to suppress the infantry outside the bamboo forest ditch, attract their attention, and reduce the pressure on the brothers in the bamboo forest, Cai Jing, immediately turn on the radio to contact the other squads, tell them that there are two platoons of enemy troops in the bamboo forest, and ask them not to come. ”

After all, Niu Shilin is a non-commissioned officer, and he has more experience than other privates and senior soldiers in the squad.

A series of commands immediately reached the ears of everyone in the class.

Now, I am on the hillside, although I do not have an advantage in firepower, but I have an advantage in terrain and suddenness.

At the moment, the infantry platoon has not noticed that another reconnaissance detachment has appeared on the hillside.

Their attention is on the enemies of the bamboo forest.

Phew-

Just as the platoon commander of the infantry platoon was sending coordinates in the earthen ditch, suddenly, a puff of blue smoke rose from his head.

Communication is interrupted!

The platoon commander is killed!

"There are snipers!"

The other platoon commander immediately lay down in the ditch.

"The 2 platoon commanders, the 1 platoon commander was shot and honored!"

There are soldiers [www.biqugexx.biz] shouting.

"From now on, the 2nd platoon will be responsible for the main attack, and I will take over the command position!" The 2nd platoon leader shouted: "Platoon snipers, find out the location of the local sniper immediately, and cars 4 and 5 will cooperate to kill him!" ”

As he spoke, he climbed up to the other side of the ditch.

Now he had to crawl to the communication station as soon as possible and call for fire support as soon as possible.

Those scout snipers aren't a joke.

For the snipers of the reconnaissance battalion, the 2 platoon commander knew it well.

I heard that last time, their new acting deputy company commander Yan Yan was able to hit the target at a distance of 1,300 meters.

That's the record of the 4th Division.

No!

And even the records of the whole military district.

At least I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone who can use 1300 snipers to hit an opponent at a distance of 85 meters.

This is evident from this.

There are no weak soldiers under strong generals.

Those scouts, compared to marksmanship, are very good.

Just now, the 1st platoon commander must have not paid attention to concealing himself, and he was blown up by the head.
