The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 188 Support
Everyone was shocked by the power of the fuel-air bomb.

In fact, it was the first time for them to witness the power of weapons such as fuel-air bombs.

Many people suddenly realized that with the fuel-air explosive bomb, it would become very easy to fight positional warfare in the future. It could even be said that positional warfare might no longer be fought in the future.

As for what Liu Tao said, everyone will just ignore it. Who needs to equip everyone with an oxygen tank during a war?
"The enemy is attacking from the air, leaders please move!" Just then, Li Fuguo came over to report.

The crowd, who originally disliked the sight of all the charred corpses here, could not help but enter the fortifications, while the soldiers carried the corpses and threw them aside.

The 20 tanks were separated, with the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the middle. The soldiers in the tanks set up heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the support troops set up anti-aircraft machine guns in concealed positions.

At the same time, the commanders of the two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns continued to report the aerial target data.

The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun's onboard radar was rotating, constantly collecting information on aerial targets.

Commander Wang was using a walkie-talkie to contact his superiors to request air support, while at the same time ordering the air defense forces to make preparations for air defense.

"Release!" Li Fuguo gave the order.

"Da da da~~"

Two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and four 35mm anti-aircraft guns fired at the same time.

Heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns also spewed flames and bullets continuously shot into the air.

Suddenly, an aerial firepower network was formed.

Fighter planes and helicopters in the sky were constantly being hit, and either turned into balls of fire or emitted smoke.

Commander Wang looked on, stunned.

This anti-aircraft firepower is too strong.

After seeing the power of the two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, Commander Wang finally understood why the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was more expensive than the Type 80 tank.

"How did you discover the enemy planes?" Commander Wang couldn't help but ask.

Liu Tao smiled and introduced: "The vehicle-mounted radar of our self-propelled anti-aircraft gun can search for targets within a range of 20 kilometers. We can detect enemy aircraft 20 kilometers away."

Commander Wang was amazed, it was incredible.

Such a battalion is ridiculously powerful.

Not only was the offensive firepower fierce, but the anti-aircraft firepower was also extremely strong.

With such dense anti-aircraft firepower, enemy planes could not reach the battlefield at all.

Looking at it now, the enemy air force obviously did not expect that their air defense capabilities would be so strong and was caught off guard.

There are not only self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns, but also soldiers holding "Vanguard" air defense missiles.

Perfectly implement Liu Tao's concept, no need to be afraid of ammunition.

Planes were shot down one after another, and no one cared to count how many planes were shot down.

Finally, when there were no more planes within the air strike range, Li Fuguo ordered to stop shooting.

Soon, the soldiers began to replenish their ammunition.

"Director Liu, Comrade Li Fuguo, are you still able to fight now? If possible, please support Hill 1682.3!" said Commander Wang.

Liu Tao looked at Li Fuguo. He didn't know how to march troops and fight, so Li Fuguo had to be in charge of the military command.

Li Fuguo nodded and said, "No problem, let's restock our ammunition and set off!"

Hill 1682.3 is the second highest peak of Koulin Mountain. There are many defensive fortifications with the hill as the center, and a battalion is stationed there.

Although it is not as strong as the main peak which has a reinforced battalion of troops, it is still a tough nut to crack for other attacking forces.

After all, those troops' weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the combined battalion. To replenish weapons and ammunition, other troops will be responsible for constructing fortifications here.

The current defensive fortifications are all towards China. Now that the combined battalion has captured this place, the troops will naturally have to rebuild the defensive fortifications, which are towards the monkeys.

After the engineering corps arrived, they quickly built defensive fortifications, after all, they could face enemy counterattacks at any time.

Pei Chi retreated with his guards, looking very unhappy.

In less than an hour, the main peak position was lost.

This is equivalent to the defense system on the Koulin Mountain side being divided into two halves, and now only the 1682.3 high ground and the 1574.4 high ground at the northeast end of Koulin Mountain are left.

"Damn, what kind of army is this? It's even stronger than the US military!" Pei Chi couldn't help but curse out loud.

He also participated in the war and fought against the Americans, but at this moment he suffered a huge blow.

In less than an hour, he lost a reinforced battalion and even had to abandon the regimental headquarters.

No matter how this battle turns out, he can never be the regiment commander again.

"Captain, our planes have arrived to help us. They will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Chinese." The chief of staff comforted him.

This battle was really a pathetic one.

According to their previous deductions, with the defensive fortifications here, even if they faced an attack from a division, they would be able to hold off for two months without any problem.

But the result was that within less than an hour of the start of the war, they lost the most important core of the defensive position, a reinforced battalion, and the regimental artillery battalion.

The loss is really too heavy.

If they had not retreated quickly when they saw the situation was not good, I'm afraid their regiment headquarters would not have been able to escape.

Now that the core of the defensive position has been lost, if there is no reinforcement, it is only a matter of time before the other two positions in Koulinshan are lost.

"Damn it, it's all the intelligence department's fault. How do they collect intelligence?" Pei Chi couldn't help but curse. At this time, he already wanted to shirk responsibility.

With such a huge loss, unless he could create a miracle and inflict heavy casualties on the enemy so that the losses on both sides could be close to 1:1, otherwise, once the two defensive positions were captured and Koulin Mountain was lost, he would inevitably be brought to a military court or even dismissed from his post.

Now he could only pray silently in his heart, praying that the Air Force could strike hard at the enemy, killing them on a large scale and causing heavy casualties.

But at this moment, they suddenly looked up at the sky and saw planes and helicopters being shot down and crashing to the ground.

"How is this possible?" Pei Chi and the others were stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"When did they build such a powerful anti-aircraft firepower?" Pei Chi couldn't understand why his own air force was ambushed.

"Hide quickly!" Pei Chi shouted loudly.

Then find a big rock and hide under it.

It is not suitable to travel at this time. Who knows if the crashed plane or debris from the sky will fall on their heads.

The fragments falling from the sky are even more powerful than bullets.

At this time, they could only hide under the rocks and wait for time to pass.

For the first time, they felt that time was so long.

But when they saw the bullet shell dropped on the ground, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. If the bullet hit them, they would be injured if not killed.

No one dared to set out on the journey at this time.

Because that is no different from seeking death.

This is the cruelty of the battlefield environment. Perhaps because of this harsh environment, someone could die inexplicably at any time.
