Volume 7 The Smoke of Gunfire on the Peninsula Chapter 50 Defensive Forces

Ge said that the Airborne Forces are not ground forces that are good at attacking, but they are the ground forces that are best at it. Starting

From the day of its birth, the main mode of operation of the Airborne Forces was decided: to occupy key positions behind enemy lines by surprise and hold on until reinforcements arrived.

World War II was the heyday of the Airborne Forces and a turning point in the history of the Airborne Forces.

Crete airborne operations, the German airborne forces accomplished almost impossible tasks at an extremely heavy cost. The Normandy landings, Operation Market Garden, the Allied Airborne Forces wrote a legendary chapter in the history of the Airborne Forces.

After World War II, due to technical limitations, lack of heavy firepower and lack of armor protection, the development of the infantry-based airborne forces once stagnated and even regressed. After the Vietnam War, the U.S. military paid more attention to the low-altitude assault force with helicopters as the main carrier and airborne landing as the main delivery method, and the famous 1st Airborne Division in World War II was reorganized into an air assault division.

The rapid progress of technology has once again changed the fate of the Airborne Forces, but it has not changed the tactics of the Airborne Forces.

After the capture of Wulao, Li Dongshi was busy with the officers and soldiers of the whole platoon for several hours.

They did only one thing: to consolidate the defensive positions they had taken from the American army.

There are very few "full-time" sappers in the Airborne Forces, and every Airborne is the best sapper.

The construction of defensive positions was a very troublesome, time-consuming, and laborious task, but fortunately the transport planes sent hundreds of sets of "professional" engineering equipment and hundreds of tons of explosives for blasting.

Explosions and motors continued for hours.

According to the brigade commander's arrangement. The 1533rd and 1532nd Battalions, which were the first to arrive, served as reserves. Responsible for the construction of defensive positions for the whole brigade. It is very fair to arrange. It can ensure that the defensive position is built as soon as possible. It also allows the officers and soldiers who have paid the most to get rest at the beginning of the battle. Ensure the combat effectiveness of the whole brigade.

The position has not been repaired. And the battle began.

It's just that it doesn't have much to do with Li Dongshi. In order to prevent enemy troops from approaching. The 1 battalion was sent out. Fought twice on a scale that is not considered a big counterattack. "Frightened away" the US ground forces preparing to break through.

From 6 o'clock. The shelling, which lasted until about 9 o'clock, annoyed Lee Dong-seok the most.

If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. fleet was hundreds of kilometers away. Li Dongshi really wanted to scold his mother. 7 o'clock past. Li Dongshi's 2 recruits failed to drill into the temporary anti-artillery hole in time. Killed by a shell. When the corpse is found. Li Dongshi could only rely on 2 sets of mutilated land identification cards to confirm that he was a 3rd row of ground soldiers.

Li Xiangyun and Dong Zhibo, both came to the 3rd row in June, less than 20 years old, and the relationship between the two in the platoon is very good.

After calming down, Li Dongshi realized that he had not yet asked about the origin of the 2 fighters.

Where there is war, there are casualties.

While fighting in Laos, Li Dongshi bid farewell to several comrades-in-arms. He just didn't expect that he would bid farewell to his comrades again so soon.

After repairing the position, Li Dongshi took the whole platoon of officers and soldiers into the underground bunker.

All officers and men, including Li Dongshi, have to admire the powerful combat effectiveness brought about by science and technology. Relying on a number of portable electric drilling equipment, a number of small electric excavation equipment, and a large number of directional explosive devices, more than 800 officers and men of the two battalions built an underground defense system sufficient to accommodate more than 5,500 officers and men of the brigade, hundreds of paratrooper fighting vehicles, hundreds of large-caliber mortars, and thousands of tons of ammunition and materials in just eight hours. Not to mention anything else, there are more than 200 underground bunkers with an area of more than 30 square meters, which are enough for a platoon of officers and men to hide.

To deal with "extreme" weapons such as thermobaric bombs, underground bunkers are not as simple as digging a hole in the ground. The roof of the underground bunker is at least 5 meters above the ground, and the roof made of lightweight, high-strength composite materials is reinforced with transverse beams, which is sufficient to resist the direct bombardment of kilogram bombs and 155-mm shells; As long as the alarm system detects that the air pressure and temperature outside exceed the dangerous value, the sealed door will be closed within 2 minutes if it can withstand thousands of atmospheres and 1500 degrees Celsius. In the case of complete isolation, the oxygen production equipment in the bunker can ensure the survival of 30 officers and soldiers for 24~ hours.

An underground bunker is an underground fortress.

"Lao Li, Lao Li ......"

Li Dongshi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was Zhang Zhi calling him.

"Come here, come here."

"What for?" Li Dongshi still walked over, and the soldier sitting next to Zhang Zhi consciously moved to the side.

Zhang Zhi handed the headset to the platoon commander. "Broadcast news, damn Yankees have suffered heavy casualties."

Li Dongshi put on headphones, listened for a while, and then showed a look of surprise.

"Damn, the Air Force has a big hit."

"Platoon commander, what's the matter?" Several fighters who had been paying attention to Li Dongshi surrounded him.

Li Dongshi unplugged the headphones, and a sweet mezzo-soprano came out of the radio speaker.

The fighters were all attracted to it, and when they heard the news that the bomber unit of the Air Force had annihilated the 2nd ~ amphibious fleet of the US army, several young fighters shouted excitedly.

Only then did Li Dongshi understand why the US artillery bombardment suddenly ended at around 9 o'clock.

"Go, all to the side." Zhang Zhi turned off the radio, looked at it, and his eyes fell on Li Dongshi's shoulder.

Li Dongshi frowned and looked over his right shoulder.

"Lao Li, good luck." Zhang Zhi took out the shrapnel stuck on the shoulder pads of the body armor, "If you deviate two centimeters downward, this arm of yours will be scrapped." ”

Shrapnel, Li Dongshi took a closer look.

It should be prefabricated fragments of artillery shells, very light and thin, with extremely sharp edges, but fortunately it was blocked by composite body armor specially developed for the Airborne Forces, otherwise Li Dongshi would not have lost an arm.

After groping around on his body, Li Dongshi found a similar piece of shrapnel.

After taking out the cigarettes and distributing a few cigarettes from the box to the surrounding officers and soldiers, Li Dongshi saved the two pieces of shrapnel. Although shrapnel is not valuable, it is always a little commemorative.

The ground shook slightly, and the sand leaked through the honeycomb roof.

|,3~||……”

Li Dongshi was startled, and immediately rushed over and picked up the intercom. "This is 3~||, I'm Li Dongshi."

"Come to the battalion headquarters immediately, your platoon is ready."

"Yes, to the battalion headquarters right away." Putting down the intercom, Li Dongshi glanced at the three squad leaders and said, "Check the weapons and equipment, prepare for battle, and wait for me to come back." ”

The battalion headquarters is also located underground, which is an underground bunker with an area of more than 50 square meters.

When Li Dongshi arrived, the company commander, Captain Liu Qingzheng, the 1st platoon commander, Lieutenant Dai Jiba, and the 2nd commander, Lieutenant Zhang Jiaen, had already arrived, and no officers from other companies were present.

"The U.S. military is storming the positions of the 1st Battalion, and the brigade commander has asked our troops to go over for reinforcements." Battalion commander Zhuo Weilin glanced at Li Dongshi, who arrived last, and continued, "The situation is very critical, half of the position has been lost, and more than half of the casualties of the 1st Battalion have been lost. No matter what, you must not lose your position, people are in the position! ”

"People are in the position!" Several officers chimed in.

Zhuo Weilin nodded and looked at Liu Qingzheng.

|Rescue the wounded of the 1st battalion, 3~||Main attack, 2|act as a reserve. Liu Qingzheng glanced at his watch, "It's 125 now, meet at Exit 3 in five minutes, Li Dongshi, are you confident?" ”

Li Dongshi nodded and didn't say anything.

went back to call the soldiers in the platoon, and Li Dongshi asked each squad to bring 3~ sets of anti-tank missiles and 3 sets of individual anti-aircraft missiles.

The battle on the side of the 1st Battalion began after 9 o'clock, and after only one hour, half of the position was lost.

It's not that the 1st Battalion has no combat effectiveness, because the 1st Battalion is the strongest combat unit in the whole brigade, and it must be that the US army's attack is very fierce, otherwise the 1st Battalion would not have lost its position so quickly.

Exit No. 3 is located northwest of the underground defense system, and to the right is the position of the 1st Battalion.

The 3rd platoon arrived first, and before rushing to the surface position, Li Dongshi came to the front. "The old rule, the 3rd squad is the main attack in the middle, the 1st squad covers the left flank, and the 2nd squad covers the right flank, first knock out the enemy's tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, pay attention to the enemy's helicopter gunships, and deal with the enemy's infantry after occupying a favorable position, understand?"

The three squad leaders nodded one after another, and the soldiers behind them also immediately answered.

"People are in the position!"

"People are in the position!"

When more than 20 fighters opened their mouths to answer, Li Dongshi had already stepped up the steps and rushed to the surface position first.

Deafening explosions, roaring cannons, cannon cannons, bean-bursting machine guns, dull motors, and muffled rotors came at the same time. The position was filled with gunsmoke, blocking the sun and blocking the enemy. Slowly advancing enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are like beasts in the mist, and enemy soldiers advancing on cat's waist are like ghosts in the wilderness.

Glancing at the situation, Li Dongshi quickly retracted his neck and ran forward along the half-human-high trench.

From time to time, bullets fell on the ground on both sides, and shells flew overhead from time to time, and Li Dongshi did not slow down and ran towards the anti-tank fire point in front of him as fast as he could.

The remains of two soldiers of the 1st Battalion lay on their stomachs on the trench, next to which an anti-tank missile launcher was placed that had not had time to be launched.

"Zhang Zhi, kill the 'Abrams' in front."

The 3 squad leader did not ramble, and immediately squatted about 15 meters away from Li Dongshi and carried the anti-tank missile.

Li Dongshi picked up the anti-tank missile launcher next to him as quickly as he could, and aimed at the M23 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle following the M11A2 main battle tank.

It was definitely the US Marines who attacked, because the US Army had eliminated "Bradley".

Driven by high-pressure air, two anti-tank missiles ignited rocket engines from a distance of 5 meters from the launch canister, instantly accelerated to meters per second, and fired at tanks and infantry fighting vehicles more than 1 c0 meters away.

The bright tail flame emitted by the missile exposed the shooter's position, causing a rain of bullets from the enemy. The reaction of the 2 Airborne Forces was very fast, and before the rain of bullets arrived, they got into the reverse anti-artillery hole next to it.

There was a slight shook-up on the ground, followed by a violent explosion.

Li Dongshi and Zhang Zhi took the opportunity to jump out of the anti-artillery hole and ran along the trench to the next firing point.

Without waiting for the two people to arrive, a bright "fire meteor" tore open the cigarette tent on the right side of the position and caught up with the "Super Cobra" helicopter gunship that was hovering in search of "prey" at twice the speed of sound.

A few more "bolts of lightning" pierced the smoke tent, and several American tanks and infantry fighting vehicles turned into burning scrap metal.

When Li Dongshi used a rifle to find a hunting target, the US military took the initiative to change the direction of attack and retreated.

Damn it**
