Chapter 1200: Surrounded by enemies (Second update, please subscribe)

With the arrival of the new year, Southeast Asia seems to have become more lively.

The no-fly zone in Shan State was still strictly enforced, and fighter planes from the South Pacific were patrolling there. In Saigon, guerrilla activities were becoming increasingly rampant, and the signs of US military involvement were becoming increasingly obvious. At the same time, Hanoi was increasing its reinforcement efforts to the South. It was providing assistance to the South through the dense tropical rainforest of Laos, and a large number of northern soldiers and supplies were transported to the South through the rainforest trails.

The dense tropical rainforest has become their natural barrier.

Early morning on December 1th.

At the Siamese border, dozens of H2 general-purpose helicopters roared across the Mekong River and entered the sky over Laos. The officers and soldiers on the helicopters concentrated on the dense rainforest with extremely solemn expressions. They once again crossed the Mekong River to carry out a mission in another country. The rainforest here was full of guerrillas.

At this time, Lu Peng was curled up in a narrow gap between the seats of two crew members, with his long knees almost touching his shoulders. In front of him, the cabin of the "H2" helicopter was crowded with his teammates on both sides. They were twelve air cavalrymen wearing rainforest camouflage and bulletproof tactical vests.

He is so familiar with these faces, just like brothers. Lu Peng has five years of military service. At the age of 24, he is a sergeant in the Army. He has lived and trained with some veterans in the team for many years, and even went through basic training, parachute skills school and air cavalry school with some of them.

They held AR15 assault rifles in their hands, and all of them stared ahead silently. The planes formed a tight formation and began to turn inwards, flying over the Mekong River and heading northeast. The young men were full of fighting spirit, and some of them sat on both sides of the cabin, with their legs stretched out of the cabin, dangling in the air.

"Just some guerrillas..."

Sitting in the helicopter, Zhang Hongyuan looked at the map in his hand. In the past month, he had entered the rain forest many times, looking for treasures left by the Japanese army according to the locations marked on the map. They had found several places and had a good harvest. However, they also had many exchanges of fire with local guerrillas.

Shortly after the helicopter crossed the Mekong River, someone in the nearby rainforest noticed them. This was a team of northern troops that were heading south along the rainforest trail to reinforce. Although there were as many as two or three thousand of them, the dense rainforest blocked their whereabouts.

"The helicopter soldiers from Nanyang are coming!"

“How many helicopters are there in total?”

"16 helicopters!"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, the officer in green uniform thought for a while and then shouted.

"Give the order. This time, we must teach the Nanyang devils a lesson and tell them that this is not a place they can come to whenever they want!"

Although he didn't know why helicopter soldiers from Southeast Asia had appeared frequently in this area recently, his military instinct told him that he must not allow people from Southeast Asia to enter this rainforest. Otherwise, it would threaten their support for the South and threaten the unity of the country.

Deep in the rainforest, guerrillas in green uniforms shouted and rushed towards the direction where the enemy was landing.

At the same time, the fleet landed on a rainforest meadow, and the team members began to jump out. The machine gunner at the hatch shouted:

"Hurry up!"

Lu Peng was the last one to leave the cabin. As soon as he jumped out of the cabin, the huge noise and strong wind of the helicopter made him hold down his helmet with his hands, but his legs did not stop. Instead, he strode towards the nine o'clock direction of the plane to establish a defense line.

After the helicopter landed in the designated area, as in the past, Zhu Huajun, the company commander of the Air Cavalry Company, immediately commanded his troops to open up a landing site and used explosive ropes to blow up the sparse trees in the landing site, while the soldiers had already deployed defenses around the landing site.

As soon as they arrived at the designated location, Ma Pengfei, the platoon leader of the third platoon, found a suitable location - a dry riverbed, which was a natural trench. After a brief observation, he pointed to the left side of the riverbed and said.

"Machine gunner, set up a firing position there."

Carrying a MAG general-purpose machine gun, Zhang Chong quickly ran to the position designated by the platoon leader. After setting up the machine gun position, he and his comrades leaned against the riverbed and started smoking, chatting casually while smoking.

At the same time, several helicopters arrived at the landing site, and Zhang Hongyuan and Zhu Huajun talked about sending out a search team to dig for treasure.

"Just like before, we will first establish the landing field and then head to the destination. If conditions permit, we will bring in a few jeeps so that transportation will be faster."

Since we had carried out such missions several times before, everything was done with ease.

"I think it's possible. Judging from the map, the terrain here should be suitable for cars. If the rainforest is dense, we can just use a helicopter. This way it will be more..."

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire interrupted Zhang Hongyuan's voice. Before he could come to his senses, there was another explosion in front of him. "Enemy attack..."

The moment he spotted the enemy, Zhang Chong picked up the MAG machine gun and fired at the enemy's trace. Although the MAG machine gun was introduced for the reason of trade balance, it is also an extremely excellent machine gun with adjustable firing rate. The low speed is suitable for infantry fire suppression, and the high speed is suitable for use as a helicopter window machine gun.

Most of the other soldiers shoot with AR15. This 6.5mm assault rifle just entered the Air Cavalry Brigade for trial use a month ago. Although it is still on trial use, its performance is very outstanding. It not only has low recoil but also has great power.

Li Feng, who was lying on the edge of the riverbed, looked through the peephole of his rifle and saw an enemy rushing towards him with an AK47. He immediately pulled the trigger. As the gunshots rang out, he saw the guy's shoulder was hit as if by an axe, and his arm fell down instantly. Another bullet hit his chest, and the North Vietnamese soldier fell down in a bloody mist.

Song Siyi, who was standing aside, was quick to fire three shots in rapid succession. In the blood mist, three North Vietnamese soldiers with guns staggered and fell into the rainforest. One of the bodies was hanging on a fallen tree trunk with his butt raised high.

The 1st Air Cavalry Brigade is worthy of being the elite of the Nanyang Army - as the world's first air cavalry brigade, this force combines combat units such as the reconnaissance helicopter battalion, attack helicopter battalion, mobile infantry battalion, and fire support battalion. Its officers and soldiers are well-trained and will immediately launch a counterattack when they encounter a counterattack. The accurate and fierce firepower will instantly suppress the approaching enemy.

At the same time, Ma Pengfei was reporting the situation here through the radio while commanding the troops to defend.

"Machine gunner, suppressing fire, suppressing fire..."

While Song Siyi was shouting at his comrades to fight back, he was observing the enemy situation. In the dense rainforest, groups of enemies swarmed forward like a tide.

When the machine gun sounded, several North Vietnamese soldiers who were charging with guns were unable to dodge and were blown to pieces by the bullets...

Behind him, Zheng Yuan could no longer care about anything else. He only wanted to suppress the enemy before they dispersed. Lying on the ground, he simply measured the distance and immediately pressed the firing button of the automatic grenade launcher.

At this moment, there were dense "whoosh, whoosh" sounds in the air. They were shells fired from automatic grenade launchers. More than ten years ago, based on the experience of fighting the Japanese army in the Battle of Borneo, the military believed that an automatic grenade launcher was needed for infantry units to defend against the Japanese army's sea tactics. So it took several years and the 40mm automatic grenade launcher was successfully developed in .

There was a loud bang in the crowd, not just one, but more than a dozen explosions. In a series of explosions, the thick smoke mixed with flesh and blood gradually engulfed the crowd. Limbs flew in the thick smoke, and bloody limbs and internal organs flew all over the sky. The ground and trees were splattered with red and white things. Then everyone held up their rifles and fired at will.

The originally rampant tide was suppressed under the fierce firepower attack.

The dense gunfire had drowned out all the noise. Faced with the powerful firepower, the North Vietnamese troops that were rushing in like a tide began to hesitate. Some turned around and ran away, but they were penetrated by machine gun bullets before they could run a few steps, and were knocked to the ground by the powerful inertia. Soon, shrill whistles and military bugles were heard in the rainforest.

Amid the shrill whistles and bugle calls, the enemy began to retreat.

Looking at the retreating enemy, the soldiers grinned and stopped shooting. While changing magazines for their rifles, they felt the ease of the battle.

"The guerrillas are just a bunch of rookies. If they are hurt once, they won't dare to fight back!"

The brothers seemed very relaxed. After making sure that no one was injured, Ma Pengfei did not dare to relax his vigilance. He observed the surroundings with a telescope. In the open space in the rainforest, the guerrilla who had been shot and fell to the ground was still lying. Among the corpses, there was a guerrilla who was squirming and struggling. One could clearly see the white bones on his half-exposed shoulders and the blood that kept flowing out of his mouth. He was breathing more out than in. It was certain that he would die soon.

This is war. People who were alive and kicking a moment ago, turn into corpses in the blink of an eye.

Gunshots!

As dense gunfire came from all directions, Wang Chenghua frowned. Although he was not an officer as a sergeant, he had experienced too many wars in his twenty years of military service. Although the news on the radio was that the enemy was retreating, when he heard the whistles and trumpets in the rainforest, he frowned and hurriedly said to the company commander:
"Sir, something is wrong. Listen to the sound of the trumpet... These people are definitely not guerrillas, they are regular troops!"

Although the roar of the helicopter's engine was deafening, the sound of horns and whistles could still be clearly heard. The intermittent whistles and horns were conveying commands.

Only regular armies have this kind of call!
This kind of horn sound once frightened the Americans.
Here, there is only one group of people who can blow this kind of whistle - the North Vietnamese Army. This kind of whistle sound also frightened the French!

Now, they met!
Zhu Huajun just stood there, his brow furrowed as he almost subconsciously understood his situation. He immediately shouted to the communications soldier beside him.

"Notify the base immediately. My company is surrounded by unknown enemy forces. Request fire support..."

As for fire support, they are now more than 82 kilometers away from the border. There is no fire support at all. The only things they can rely on are their own several mortars and automatic grenade launchers.
