When Xiang Linghui's call arrived, Peng Maobang immediately rushed to the combat center.

"Ground battles have begun?"

"It just started." Xiang Linghui took a few steps back and made way for the busy staff officers, "There is a deviation in the airborne landing location, and a platoon has fallen behind the Vietnam Army. ”

"Send reinforcements immediately."

"The Air Force fleet has departed, and we are contacting the nearest Airborne Forces." Pei Chengyi walked over, "It should be the 3rd Battalion 3|, one of the squads is going to Nonghei to reconnoiter the defensive deployment of the Vietnamese army as planned." ”

"Turn on the power of the squad, and the headquarters will directly ~ wave."

Pei Chengyi nodded and went to find Staff Officer.

Peng Maobang frowned slightly, and did not rush to open the command center.

Deviations in airborne landing are very common, and it is also a common thing for airborne troops to fall into the enemy's positions. Peng Maobang believes in the combat effectiveness of the airborne troops and also believes in the will to fight of the airborne troops.

After a while, the call was answered.

"Report identity."

"1533 Battalion 3 Company 3|3 squad leader Li Dongshi."

So much" 3 Xiang Linghui was stunned for a moment. Said: "I am Xiang Linghui, the commander-in-chief of the campaign. Now the battle order is given directly to you. ”

Item...... Be. Checkmate! ”

"Tactical information is being sent. The 1st platoon fell behind the Vietnamese lines. You are the closest ground troops. Go to support immediately. Xiang Linghui hesitated slightly. Said. "Air Support ......"

I saw Xiang Linghui and looked over. Cheng Yi immediately raised 5 fingers.

"The air support bell arrives after the bell to open a passage for you, pay attention to the guidance."

"Understood, battlefield information has been received."

"Very well, contact me directly if you have any situation."

"Yes!"

Glancing at the information on the screen of the individual soldier's computer, Li Dongshi patted Yuting on the shoulder and told him to stop advancing. "Xiao Wang and I are in charge of air guidance, and the others continue to ride forward. Our new mission is to support the 1st platoon brothers, who are besieged by enemy troops, and after the bombardment, break through the enemy lines along the fire channel. Xiao Zhang, you stay in the car and command for me. ”

After speaking, Li Dongshi and a soldier left the paratrooper tank.

Located at the eastern end of the Sichuan Khouang Plateau, Nonghei is a small town with a population of less than 10,000. About 12 hours before the arrival of Li Dongshi's airborne troops, the first Vietnamese army to enter Laos occupied Nong Hei, set up a logistics transfer base here, and deployed defensive positions on the periphery.

The 15th Airborne Army was the first to attack Nong Hei, precisely because it was a strategic point to enter Laos.

The road from Nong Hei to the west leads to Luang Prabang and the road to the southwest leads to Chueng Khouang. The former is a necessary place for the armored forces of the Republic Army to go to Vientiane, and the latter is a necessary place for the Vietnamese Army to go to Vientiane. If the airborne 15th Army can take Nong Hei, it will not only be able to prevent the Vietnamese army from entering Laos, but also block the nearly 1st Vietnamese Army that has already entered Laos, laying the foundation for the subsequent war of annihilation.

It can be said that whether or not Nonghei can be defeated will have a decisive impact on the ground battles behind.

Li Dongshi did not know these circumstances, and as the squad leader of the Airborne Forces, there was no need to know.

After running more than 200 meters on the rugged mountain with Xiao Wang, Li Dongshi found a favorable hiding place.

"Laser pointer." Li Dongshi glanced at the soldier behind him, "Pay attention to the situation of Zhou." ”

After Xiao Wang handed the laser pointer to the squad leader, he quickly slipped to 1 meter away and hid.

Glancing at his watch, Li Dongshi activated the laser pointer and turned on the tactical communication channel.

"The falcon calls the viper, the falcon calls the snake......"

"The viper has been received, and the viper is in place and ready to enter." Li Dongshi took a deep breath.

The bell arrives, and the 30s guide the goal. ”

"Understand, the post-30s generation guides the goal." Li Dongshi quickly inspected the battlefield information stored in the individual soldier's computer and selected the Vietnamese army's machine-gun fort 500 meters to the north, which was spitting out flames.

After aiming the laser pointer at the target, Li Dongshi pressed the emission switch.

A beam of infrared laser, which was invisible to the naked eye, "shot" at the machine gun fortress, and the Vietnamese machine gun was firing frantically without any notice.

Li Dongshi held his breath, the bomb will fall in 2 minutes!

The fighting on the battlefield was not fierce, and many Vietnamese troops were firing blindly. At this time, only three platoons of airborne troops arrived at the battlefield, and they were scattered within a radius of 5 square kilometers. If it weren't for the 1st platoon falling behind the Vietnamese line, I'm afraid the two sides would not have made contact.

Most of the machine guns of the Vietnamese army were strafing the air, and it seemed that there were airborne troops in the sky.

Li Dongshi smiled coldly, the quality of the Vietnamese army is indeed not very good.

There was a muffled sound in the air, and the Vietnamese troops in the machine-gun fortress seemed to hear it. The tongue of fire, which had been flickering frequently at first, suddenly disappeared, and a Vietnamese machine gunner wearing a steel helmet poked his head out and looked into the night sky to the north where the sound came.

2 The "fire meteor" pierced the night sky, and the earth suddenly shook.

Li Dongshi buried his head as fast as he could, circled his arms and pressed the paratrooper helmet on his head.

The violently shaking ground made Li Dongshi's stomach tumble upside down, the deafening explosion stimulated Li Dongshi's eardrum, and the howling wind pressed Li Dongshi to the ground.

Explosions rang out one after another, except for the first bomb that fell on the laser pointer

In addition, several other bombs were placed on a ground passage from south to north, between 1 and 150 meters.

"Squad Leader......"

"Here, let the chariot hurry over"

Mounted on the paratrooper chariot, Li Dongshi stood in the position of the machine gunner, and the infantry in the car mounted the machine gun on the gun carriage behind the shooting hole.

The chariot roared towards the newly bombed Vietnamese position.

Under the manipulation of Li Dongshi, the 20-mm machine gun and 30-mm automatic grenade launcher on the remote-controlled turret opened fire, firing the shells and grenades at the Vietnamese troops who were fleeing in confusion. The infantry in the car was also unrelenting, and rained bullets through the shooting holes on the Vietnamese troops who were out of position.

"Squad leader, close air support!"

"Don't worry so much, take the opportunity to rush in, to the brothers in the 1st row!"

In the air, the O-5M attack, which was tasked with low-altitude support, first dropped flares, followed by a dive attack, using rockets hanging under the wings and 37mm aerial guns to strafe Vietnamese positions and fortifications on the ground. In less than 5 minutes, the attack aircraft used up all its ammunition and flew away.

The paratrooper fighting vehicle took this opportunity to break through: = the army defense line and contacted the officers and men of the 1st platoon who were besieged by the Vietnamese army.

The 1 paratrooper combat vehicle of the 3 platoon was completely destroyed, and of the 30 officers and soldiers, 12 including the platoon commander were killed, and 7 were wounded.

Lee Dong Seok didn't; At this point, he turned out to be the highest-ranking "officer" in this unit.

"Let the wounded brother go to the back of the battle, Xiao Zhang, clean up the battlefield; Xiao Wang, contact the rear and nearby troops, we need more support. Li Dongshi made the decision as quickly as possible. There were so many wounded and so many killed that it was impossible to take out all the wounded and the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers with just one squad.

"Squad leader, the command has adjusted the airborne plan, let us hold the position, and the 2nd battalion will be airborne directly with us."

"What?" Li Dongshi gritted his teeth, "Continue to call for air support." ”

After tidying up the team, Li Dongshi called the squad leader of the first platoon. The task was simple, expand the positions and prepare them for the welcoming battalion.

In the face of thousands of enemies on all sides, the 20 airborne troops who could still fight did not choose to retreat.

All 2 officers and soldiers, including the driver of the paratrooper combat vehicle who was slightly wounded, took part in the ground battle.

What Li Dongshi can count on is air support, as long as the air support arrives in time, the Vietnamese army doesn't want to do anything with them.

At 211:23, the second round of air support arrived, and 12 bomb-laden FBC-11B dropped more than 80 tons of bombs near the airborne landing site, blowing back the Vietnamese troops who were preparing to besiege Li Dongshi and other airborne troops.

Two minutes later, 8Q-5M arrived, taking turns to suppress the nearby Vietnamese troops.

About a minute before the 2 battalion was airborne, the last and most intense round of fire arrived.

The long-range rocket artillery of the army deployed in ~Ladi was dispatched, and multiple 330-mm rocket artillery of 2 battalions fired more than 500 rockets at the position of the Nong Hei Vietnamese army 350 kilometers away.

The earth trembled in the explosion, and the night burned in the flames.

From a distance of several hundred meters, Li Dongshi and the other airborne troops were dumbfounded.

The army artillery is indeed a big deal, just to support the airborne troops, a hundred rockets were dropped at one time!

Although carpet shelling may not be much better than precision bombing, it is very obvious that it can inflict a psychological blow on the enemy and boost the morale of friendly troops.

After just 3 saturation strikes, the Vietnamese troops who were lucky not to be killed by the explosion all disarmed and fled!

In the battle of more than 0 minutes, what Li Dongshi did the most was fire guidance.

A loud roar was heard in the air, and more than 20 large transport planes sent the officers and men of the battalion over.

When the reinforcements arrived, Li Dongshi had not fired a single bullet from the paratrooper rifle he carried!

Seeing Major Ding Zhaoxuan, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, Li Dongshi handed over the command.

At this time, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi, who were commanding in the rear, also sighed~.

"Well done, expand the landing ground as soon as possible." Peng Maobang smiled slightly and glanced at his watch, "Tell Ning Gucheng of 153 that even if he can't take Nonghei before dawn, he will surround Nonghei, and before 15 o'clock tomorrow, he must occupy Nonghei and cut off the passage of the Vietnamese army in and out of Laos." ”

"No problem, I personally gave the order to Brigadier General Ning Gucheng."

Peng Maobang nodded and left the command center satisfied.

Xiang Linghui let out a sigh and gave Pei Chengyi a thumbs up.

The beginning of that round of fire support, whether it was an air strike or a long-range artillery battle, was all Pei Chengyi's masterpiece. In just a few minutes, Pei Chengyi sent all the support forces that could be mobilized nearby, not only severely damaged the Vietnamese troops stationed in Nong Hei, but also successfully opened up the second airborne field.

Pei Chengyi was not complacent, because conducting fire dispatch is the basic quality of a commander.

With the arrival of the 1532nd Battalion, the airborne operations on the periphery of Nonghei also entered the final stage. Before dawn, the other two companies of the 1533 battalion and the two battalions of the 15311 and 1534 battalions all arrived at Nonghei.

Brigadier General Ning Gucheng, commander of the 153rd Brigade, accompanied the 15311 Battalion to the front line and commanded the combat operation of the attack on Nonghei. (To be continued)
