Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 51 Hold on
After retreating from the attack of the American army, Li Dongshi arranged defensive tasks for each squad, and then ...... Starting
"Are there any casualties?" Liu Qingzheng handed a cigarette to Li Dongshi.
"Three minor wounds, no casualties." Li Dongshi lit a cigarette, "How is the situation in the 1st battalion?" β
"More than 100 people were killed, more than 200 were wounded, and few were intact." Liu Qingzheng also lit a cigarette, "I just received an order from the battalion headquarters that the position of the 1st battalion was handed over to us to be responsible. β
"We?" Li Dongshi was taken aback, and his eyes widened and he was strictly forbidden, "We have a company and guard the position of a battalion, this is ......"
"The battle has just begun, and the brigade headquarters does not want to use other reserves as soon as possible." Liu Qingzheng smiled bitterly and said, "We are the closest to the 1st battalion, if we don't let us go, who will let us go?" β
"But ......"
"Zhuo Ying's thoughts, you should know, the 1st Battalion has been pressing us." Liu Qingzheng sighed secretly, "If we can hold out for a few more hours, the 3rd Battalion will be the first battalion of the whole brigade." β
"Damn," Li Dongshi cursed in a low voice.
"You can hold the western position for as long as you can." Liu Qingzheng glanced at the most capable platoon commander under him, "Do you have any special requirements?" β
"Special requests?" Li Dongshi smiled bitterly. Said. "I knew. I should bring a few nurses. β
"Nurse?" Liu Qingzheng was stunned for a moment. Then he said with a smile. "You kid. I'm still thinking about these things. I had 1 platoon pick up the wounded. Wait for the battalion headquarters to ask for two medics. β
Li Dongshi threw away the cigarette butt. said: "More first-aid medicines. That's what the brothers rely on. β
Liu Qingzheng sighed secretly. watched Li Dongshi walk out of the company.
Before full mechanization. Each platoon has one medic. After mechanization. Because each paratrooper combat vehicle can carry only 8 soldiers. The strength of the army has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the medical corps was assigned to the logistics platoon directly under the battalion. The battalion headquarters assigns medical corps to each company and platoon in wartime.
Back to position. Officers and soldiers are hurrying to check weapons and ammunition.
Li Dongshi walked around the position, inquired about the situation of the officers and men one by one, and chatted with the three lightly wounded for a while. The 3 squad leaders were all veterans and had no problems. 18 The soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time were a little panicked, and even the few who were usually the most daring and dared to joke about the platoon commander were frightened by the battle just now.
Thinking that the battle would start soon, Li Dongshi adjusted his deployment again and left the 1st squad behind.
Either way, it's much better to have some reserves than to send them all.
When returning to the position of the 3rd squad, Li Dongshi passed by the company headquarters and brought a few boxed lunches to the soldiers in the squad.
"How's it going?" Zhang Zhi seemed a little excited, and seemed to be still reminiscing about the process of starting to destroy the US tank.
"We've got to hold Camp 1." Li Dongshi handed the lunch box to a soldier next to him, "Go and distribute it to everyone, the Yankees won't let us rest for long, so that the brothers can take the opportunity to fill their bellies." β
"A platoon guarding the position of a battalion?"
"It's a company, two platoons to be exact." Li Dongshi squatted down with a boxed lunch, "We guard the west, 2|guard the east, and the company commander's orders are to hold on for as long as we can." β
"Damn!" Zhang Zhi cursed in a low voice.
"Don't be wordy, hurry up and fill your belly."
Zhang Zhi sighed and took the lunch box handed by Li Dongshi.
Before he could pick up the plastic spoon, a strange scream was heard in the air.
"Hiddenβ"
Zhang Zhi was the first to drill into the anti-artillery hole next to him, and after Li Dongshi advanced the recruits who did not react, the last one went into the anti-artillery hole that could only accommodate 2 soldiers.
The sharp whistling sound suddenly disappeared, and the earth shook violently, and the sky cracked like an explosion.
The shelling came both suddenly and violently.
"Large-caliber howitzers."
"What?" Zhang Zhi roared loudly.
"Large-caliber howitzers." Li Dongshi pointed outside, "The artillery of the American army is coming, damn, our days are sad." β
Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "It's good if you can't die, who hasn't been fucking shelled?" β
Li Dongshi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
The shelling of the airborne troops seems to be a matter of course.
The last shell fell, and Li Dongshi glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist, which was exactly 5 minutes.
"Don't go out yet." Zhang Zhi grabbed the fighter, "Maybe there will be a second round of shelling." β
Sure enough, there was a stop of about 30, and the shells fell again.
The recruit was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the squad leader behind him.
"Basic artillery tactics, specifically against infantry on the ground in defensive positions." Li Dongshi gave a general introduction and patted the recruit's shoulder, "Remember every experience in order to get out of the battlefield alive." β
The recruit nodded hurriedly.
Li Dongshi looked back at Zhang Zhi, and both of them secretly smiled bitterly.
If Li Dongshi remembers correctly, the slightly chubby recruit is called He Jian, a native of rural Sichuan, who is only 19 years old this year.
If you are a child in the city, you should have just entered college at the age of 19.
The second round of shelling lasted about three minutes, and after hearing the roar of the ground in the air, Li Dongshi took the lead in rushing out of the anti-artillery hole and grabbed the individual anti-aircraft missile launcher that had been thrown outside.
"Bring a machine gun and cover the platoon commander!" Zhang Zhi instructed He Jian while grabbing anti-Tan
Launch canister.
The roar of the helicopter was getting closer and closer, but the smoke over the position blocked Li Dongshi's vision. Breaking off the miniature screen of the sight on his helmet, Li Dongshi inserted the data cable on the individual air defense missile into the individual computer interface on his waist, and aimed the window of the infrared/ultraviolet sight on the launch canister of the individual air defense missile in the direction from which the sound came. A yellow object moving at high speed appeared on the screen, and using the input data, the individual soldier computer began to calculate the target's flight speed, course, altitude, target nature and other important data.
Less than 5, a set of data appeared on the screen, indicating that it was the AH-1ZZ "Super Cobra" gunship.
After determining that the target was within the missile's attack range, Li Dongshi took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
The canister shook slightly, and then a huge recoil force pushed Li Dongshi against the wall of the trench behind him. Seeing that the missile drew a spiral tail line in the air and flew towards the target, Li Dongshi threw away the launch canister as fast as he could, and ran along the trench in the direction of Zhang Zhi.
U.S. military helicopter gunships have a "threat azimuth detection system" that is capable of responding within 2.
Li Dongshi had just run a few meters when dozens of machine artillery shells landed on the spot where he began to fire missiles. In the sky filled with gunsmoke, dozens of bright flashes appeared behind a gray "monster", which was an infrared jamming bomb thrown by a helicopter. However, against the CY-22 "Changying" individual air defense missile equipped with an infrared/ultraviolet dual-band phase-oriented seeker, the infrared jamming missile will not play any role.
"Platoon Commander ......"
Li Dongshi nodded at He Jian, who was full of admiration, and squatted down beside him. "Is the Yankees coming up?"
"Eight hundred meters to go." Zhang Zhi put down his binoculars, "At least thirty tanks and forty infantry fighting vehicles." Damn, the Yankees dispatched a mecha battalion, and they really looked up to us. β
Li Dongshi picked up the optically enhanced telescope and looked towards the east of the position.
There were also dozens of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles over there, and the U.S. troops dispatched 2 infantry battalions in one go to attack the position of only 2 platoons! Obviously, the Yankees thought that they would send twice as many troops as they would if they were still 1 battalion to defend the position.
"Give me the machine gun." Li Dongshi said as he tied a spare magazine to the hook around his waist, "Contact the 2nd squad, the machine gunner will go to the point of fire, first kill the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles rushing in front, and then try to eliminate the infantry accompanying and disembarking in battle, and kill as many as they can." β
Zhang Zhi nodded, turned on the communication channel of the whole platoon, and gave an order to the 2nd squad guarding the westernmost part of the position on behalf of Li Dongshi.
By the time He Jian reacted, Li Dongshi had already disappeared into the smoke of gunpowder that refused to disperse for a long time.
"What are you doing? Hurry up to support the platoon commander. Zhang Zhi kicked the recruit next to him, "Bring spare ammunition, damn, stunned like a log." β
was scolded by the squad leader, He Jiancai carried 2 spare bullet boxes and ran in the direction where the platoon leader disappeared.
About 700 meters before reaching the position, the American troops stopped. An American officer stepped out of an infantry fighting vehicle with several antennas on top of it, and shouted at the soldiers who were getting off the vehicle. With nearly half of the infantry fighting vehicles in the infantry fighting vehicles disembarking, the tanks that rushed ahead continued to advance.
There was another whistling sound in the air.
The airborne troops holding the position drilled into the anti-artillery hole as fast as they could.
A very standard offensive method is to use intensive artillery bombardment to suppress the enemy on the defensive position, cover the attacking troops to rush through the most dangerous few hundred meters, and then extend the artillery fire to the rear, with a dense barrage to prevent the enemy's reserves from entering the defensive position, and cover the attacking troops to sweep the enemy on the position. If it goes well, it only takes one attack to crush the defenders. Apparently, the US military did not go well, because the offensive had already been launched, and this was the fifth!
Leaning against the wet earthen wall, Li Dongshi smiled at He Jian, who was leaning against him.
"Platoon commander, I ......"
"Don't be nervous, wait and follow me and guide me as you fire." Li Dongshi took out two pieces of chewing gum and threw one to He Jian, "Relax, remember the tactical and technical essentials during training and exercises." The Yankees are also mother-born, fleshy, and not monsters that can't be killed. β
He Jian nodded and threw the chewing gum that had not removed the tin foil into his mouth.
It is strange that there is no nervousness, and the fatality rate in training and exercises is less than 1 in 10,000, and the 1st Battalion has lost nearly 30 percent of its officers and men after holding out on to the position for more than one hour.
War is not a drill, and it is not training!
The shelling extended backwards, and Li Dongshi shook his head at He Jian, signaling not to get excited.
The sound of machine guns "banging" came, and several machine cannon shells fell on the fire point where Li Dongshi and He Jian were hiding.
The offensive of the American army is very "rhythmic" and, if necessary, fires shells at any possible location.
As the sound of machine guns stopped, Li Dongshi stepped onto the steps and set up the machine gun for the squad.
Several anti-tank missiles rose from the rear of the position, reached a height of one meter, and dived towards the US tanks and infantry fighting vehicles hundreds of meters away.
The second round of battles of the 3 squad on the positions began.
Damn it**
Keep asking for a monthly pass! (To be continued)
