Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 133 The Heights

Without air support, Zang Jiayu is a completely different situation

Leaning against the huge rock, Zang Jiayu chewed gum while looking at the sensor screen set up next to it. 【】

Relying on the "electric exoskeleton marching device" nicknamed "Locust", Zang Jiayu and other 8 airborne troops arrived at the blocking position selected by the battalion commander at 19 o'clock. At this time, the ROK infantry was still about 5 kilometers to the south. Within 1 hour before the arrival of the ROK troops, the Airborne Forces took advantage of the terrain to deploy defensive positions.

2. South Korean troops marching on the mountain road were bombed.

12 carrier-based fighters from the aircraft carrier battle group dropped at least 30 bombs on the South Korean army, many of which were incendiary bombs suitable for dealing with unprotected personnel in mountainous and forested areas. The 250 or so South Korean troops who rushed to the front had no way to go up to the sky and no way to get down to the ground, and they were either blown up or burned to death.

Subsequently, another 12 fighters, under the guidance of Zang Jiayu and others, bombed the main force of the South Korean army.

2 fleet artillery fire arrived.

3 battleships threw 192 shells at the panicked South Korean infantry in just 5 minutes, and more than 200 South Korean soldiers who had just avoided the bombardment were killed and wounded.

The battle was so easy that Zang Jiayu was a little incredulous, and he even thought that he could hold out for days.

It's just that Zang Jiayu quickly denied this law.

After the end of the shelling. Zang Jiayu received the news. The three ships in the support fleet ran out of ground support shells. It is necessary to rendezvous with the supply ship. Artillery support for the Airborne Forces could not be provided until 4 a.m. on the 8th.

Blessings are not double. Woe to you.

Zang Jiayu received another piece of bad news.

Because the aircraft carrier battle group is threatened by submarines. Air support was supposed to arrive at 22:15 at least one hour late. It can even be delayed by more than 2 hours.

There was no artillery support. There is no air support. 8 airborne troops can't hold their positions at all!

Thankfully, it is. The quality of the ROK military is indeed very bad.

The second battle has proved that the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the South Korean army is far from as powerful as the South Korean president boasts. It is not the main forces that are stationed on Jeju Island, but the second-line troops, and the combat effectiveness is even worse.

After the bombing and shelling, it took a full one and a half hours for the South Korean military to restore order.

2 About 150 Korean troops began to advance north.

The ROK advance was very slow, as carrier-based fighters dropped dozens of submunitions equipped with anti-personnel submunitions on mountain roads. Each bomb contained more than 120 submunitions, for a total of several thousand. Although only a small part of it was scattered on the mountain road, it caused great problems for the Korean army.

Zang Jiayu's mission was to prevent the Korean army from reaching Jeju before dawn, not to fight the enemy.

Seeing the Korean army advancing northward with difficulty, Zang Jiayu did not lead his troops into battle.

For Zang Jiayu, delaying time is enough to get the job done.

On the 50C meter mountain road, the Han army walked for 1 hour. At least 20 sappers were killed and wounded while defusing "roadside bombs"; There are also dozens of infantrymen who accidentally stepped on "mines" or entered the detection range of bomb sensors and became "demining machines".

As the sound of the explosion died down, Zang Jiayu pulled down the monocular night vision goggles attached to his helmet and glanced at the mountain road to the west from the side of the rock.

"Squad leader, the stick is here." The muffled words of the southernmost group of 1 team members came from the headset.

"The teams are ready to fight." Zang Jiayu spit out chewing gum, "1 group guards the south intersection and cuts off the stick's retreat, guards the north intersection and blocks the stick's forward path, and 2 groups deal with the stick's machine gunners." ”

"Understood!" The fighters of the three groups answered one after another.

"Follow me, aim for the officer." Zang Jiayu glanced at Zhong Gengsheng, who was holding a sniper rifle.

The senior soldier nodded, clenching his rifle tightly.

2 Leave the hiding place and run towards the nearest fire point. The so-called "fire point" is just a paratrooper pit made of rocks. Because it is close to Mt. Halla, the highest elevation on Jeju Island, the high ground is full of hard rocks, and it is impossible to build trenches, so you can only use the terrain to build fortifications.

"Squad leader, the stick enters the ambush circle."

"Hold your breath." Zang Jiayu climbed down, quickly checked the status of the machine gun, and took out an electronic remote control with dozens of switches, "Wait for the main force of the stick to enter the ambush circle before firing, and I will detonate the mine first." ”

Zhong Gengsheng climbed down about a meter to the left of Zang Jiayu and placed his sniper rifle between two rocks.

On the mountain road, more than one South Korean soldier is groping north.

More than 0 sappers walked at the front of the line in groups of two, as if fearing another bombardment and shelling, and the infantry that followed them spread out, many of them not on the mountain road at all, but on the gentler slopes nearby. With the help of night vision devices, the machine gunner and the officer can be clearly identified. What makes Zang Jiayu a little incomprehensible is that most of the officers of the South Korean army did not carry assault rifles! Infantry is a combat class, and even senior commanders will carry an assault rifle with them whenever they go to the front line, instead of wielding a pistol to direct the soldiers to charge. Obviously, the rank of the South Korean army is very strict, and it seems that directing the charge with a pistol is a status symbol.

It is also the easiest target feature for snipers to identify.

Zang Jiayu

's partner glanced at it, and Zhong Gengsheng had already aimed at an officer.

When the South Korean army sappers were about 20 meters away from the northern inflection point of the mountain road, Zang Jiayu turned on the power of the remote control. "Attention teams, prepare for battle."

"Understood!"

Hearing the reports of each group, Zang Jiayu took a deep breath.

When the South Korean sappers were still 1 point away from the turning point of the mountain road, Zang Jiayu first pressed the 1 switch in the middle of the remote control and detonated a total of 20 anti-personnel mines weighing 25 kg each buried on both sides of the middle of the mountain road. The sudden explosion disrupted the ranks of the South Korean troops, and all the South Korean infantry reflexively crawled to the ground. Doing so will not save their lives. Zang Jiayu did not hesitate to detonate the 0 groups of mines in front of him, killing the sappers and 1 infantry at the front of the team. Zang Jiayu then detonated the last 1 mine, killing more than 20 infantry who fled to the south.

Anti-personnel mines do not have metal shells, and even the switches on the remote control fuses are made of carbon fiber, which is difficult to detect by mine detectors. When detonated, the anti-personnel mine first bounced up 15 meters under the impetus of the "high-pressure flame gas generator" before exploding, scattering more than 5,000 high-strength "silicon-based composite projectiles" laid in the inner layer of the mine shell in all directions at a speed of more than 2,000 meters per second. Although these projectiles are too small due to their small mass and have a maximum killing distance of only 15, they can be used on narrow mountain roads to deal a fatal blow to all living targets in this range.

Because the mine detonates in the air, it is impossible to avoid the projectile when lying down!

Before the explosion of the mines had dissipated, gunshots rang out.

Putting down the remote control, Zang Jiayu set up his machine gun and aimed at several South Korean army sappers who were still twitching on the ground.

Killing the sappers can delay the advance of the South Korean army to the maximum!

Receiving a sudden blow, Han was in a hurry.

When the South Koreans returned fire, less than 20 soldiers were able to continue fighting, and the rest were either killed or killed by bullets.

"Save ammo and don't get tangled with sticks." Zang Jiayu stopped shooting first, "Stop shooting and return to the hidden location." ”

The loud sound on the high ground abruptly stopped, and the South Korean troops on the mountain road continued to shoot aimlessly for several minutes.

Back at the hiding place, Zang Jiayu took out the chewing gum and threw a piece to Zhong Gengsheng. Through the sensors set up on both sides of the mountain road in advance, the movements of the South Korean army can be known without probes.

The gunfire gradually stopped, and one of the remaining South Korean soldiers left the mountain road in horror and retreated south.

"Bang"

The silence was broken by the crisp sound of gunfire, and the South Korean troops, who were retreating on the mountain road, opened fire again on the high ground.

"Who's firing?"

"Squad leader, it's an officer!" One of the fighters of Group 1 immediately responded.

"Fuck it, don't disobey the order next time, understand?"

"Understood!"

Zang Jiayu gritted his teeth, and then laughed.

The frightened South Korean army fired two minutes in confusion, then left the killed officer behind and fled south in a hurry.

Zang Jiayu glanced at his watch, and at 23 o'clock, the battle only lasted 8 minutes.

"Squad leader, the stick is up again."

"At least more than two hundred people." Zhong Gengsheng knocked on the screen and glanced at Zang Jiayu.

"The teams are ready to fight, the old rule, I'll detonate the mines first." Zang Jiayu took out the remote control. There are also 30 sets of switches that are not turned on, indicating that there are still 3 mines that can be used.

According to the scale of the last battle, 3 mines withstood at most one assault by the South Korean army.

"Squad leader, the South Korean army is approaching us, and there is no assault to the north."

Zang Jiayu was secretly startled and immediately adjusted the sensor image on the screen.

More than 200 ROK troops were divided into five groups and deployed south of the heights, preparing to attack the heights controlled by the airborne forces.

"Act according to the backup plan, group 1 and group 2 hold the first line of defense, and go to the second line of defense with us." Zang Jiayu did not hesitate, the South Korean army lost hundreds of officers and soldiers, and finally grasped the "key point".

"Squad Leader......"

"What?" Zang Jiayu hung the two spare bullet boxes on the strap around his waist and glanced at Zhong Gengsheng.

"News from the brigade headquarters, the artillery battalion has arrived."

"Artillery battalion!?" Zang Jiayu was stunned for a moment, and then pressed the microphone around his neck, "Attention to the teams, the artillery battalion has arrived in Jeju and is ready to carry out the task of artillery fire guidance. ”

Guan Shangxun did not make empty promises, and the brigade artillery battalion came in a very timely manner.

The 2nd Artillery Battalion entered the artillery position south of the Jeju airfield and deployed.

Five minutes later, the first row of shells fell over the heads of the South Korean troops south of Heights 754. According to the shelling information provided by Zang Jiayu, the artillery used air-bombed anti-personnel shells in the first round of shelling.

The shelling extended from the South Korean army assembly area to the south of the heights to about 25 meters in front of the airborne lines.

In total, in just 1C hours, a thousand shells were thrown.

The airborne troops guarding the high ground did not fire a single shot, and relied on communication equipment to guide the artillery to repel the first round of attacks by the ROK infantry.

At this point, Zang Jiayu really breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the fire support of the aviation and the artillery support of the battleships, the artillery support of the artillery units of the Airborne Forces is more reliable!
