The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 189 Catching the Big Fish (Subscription Request)

Just as the combined battalion was replenishing ammunition and carrying out repairs.

The Engineer Corps has arrived and is building defensive fortifications together with the soldiers of the 126th Regiment.

Digging trenches and air-raid shelters
The special operations team has set off, each of them carrying a set of Type 80 rocket launchers and their own weapons.

In the entire combined battalion, the special operations team has the most intense training, and every soldier in the special operations team is a top soldier.

"Something's happening!" Half an hour after setting off, the special operations team discovered something unusual.

"There's a big fish!" Liang Zhan's eyes lit up and he realized it immediately.

"Da da da~~" The enemy also discovered them and shot at them with submachine guns.

Liang Zhan and others immediately dodged to the side.

The two soldiers made a gesture to the other team members, and then they put grenade launchers on their guns.

"Boom~~"

"Ah~~"

The explosion was accompanied by screams, and it was obvious that the damage was not small.

Liang Zhan has already analyzed that the enemy's company of soldiers are all using submachine guns or semi-automatic rifles, and have no heavy weapons. They should be a guard company or something like that.

Clearly there are big fish among them.

Although the other side had more people and more troops than them, Liang Zhan was very excited.

The special operations team is the elite among the elite, and they are best at special operations.

This kind of terrain is conducive to special operations at this time.

One team member picked up a Type 80 rocket launcher, aimed it forward, threw it away immediately after firing, and then lay on the ground with the automatic rifle in his hand, moving forward in a low-lying manner.

To be selected for the special operations team requires rich combat experience and very good physical fitness.

They had meat to eat every meal, so they cooperated very smoothly at this time.

"Boom~~"

Rifle grenades, sniper grenade launchers and Type 80 rocket launchers were fired continuously, and the firepower of the special operations team was extremely fierce, which undoubtedly caused huge casualties to the guard company without heavy weapons.

"Don't move! Don't move! Anyone who moves will be killed!"

"Hold your head with your hands! Squat down!"

After the soldiers had killed most of the enemy, they began to capture prisoners.

And if anyone acts rashly, they will be shot.

"Haha, I've done a great job this time!" When they captured a dozen people and more than twenty wounded soldiers, and learned the identities of the people they met, Liang Zhan laughed.

Afterwards, Liang Zhan reported to his superiors immediately and waited for reinforcements to arrive.

There are so many prisoners, but it is impossible to escort them.

After the reinforcements arrived, Liang Zhan and others immediately replenished their weapons and ammunition, and each of them was equipped with a set of Type 80 rocket launchers.

"Liang Zhan, this is the only passage for the enemy's reinforcements. You lead the special operations team to snipe the enemy's reinforcements and cooperate with the brother units!" Li Fuguo gave the special operations team a new task.

"Understood!" Liang Zhan saluted, then left with the special operations team.

Li Fuguo looked at the prisoners, his lips slightly raised.

I didn’t expect the special operations team to be so lucky and catch all these big fish.

Without the regiment commander Pei Chi, the other two battalions of the 14th regiment will have to fight on their own without anyone to command them.

Based on this battle and this result, if the combined battalion was in the army, it would be enough to be awarded the title of hero battalion. Li Fuguo led the combined battalion and set out directly to attack Hill 1682.3.

However, he did not attack directly, but took a detour to the rear.

Because there, according to the enemy's map, there was a mortar unit, a battalion of 122 howitzers, and not far away was the artillery regiment of the 313th Division.

The monkeys in the fortifications on Hill 1682.3 are right there. No matter whether we attack them early or late, they will be there and cannot escape.

However, the mortar unit, the 122 howitzer battalion, and the artillery regiment of the 313th Division here may run away at any time, and may also provide support in the first time, which will cause great trouble to the troops.

The task he gave to the special operations team was to cut off their retreat and snipe at the reinforcements, so that other troops or militia of the 313th Division could not provide timely reinforcements.

He wanted to fight a war of annihilation and wipe out all the monkeys.

As long as we eliminate these monkeys and conquer Koulin Mountain, the enemy will not be able to organize an attack for at least one or two months, which can buy time for us to build defensive fortifications.

Malipo, Mengdong, 42nd Division Forward Command Post.

"Hahaha!! Good! That's great!" Commander Wang was delighted when he received the call.

The local regiment command center was captured, which is a great achievement.

The enemy had lost their regimental command center, so they could only fight on their own and were unable to reinforce each other. In addition, they captured the core position and tore the entire defense system apart, making the battle easier.

Commander Wang did not say anything about the choice of the combined battalion.

Firstly, the combined battalion does not belong to the 42nd Division and has a great deal of autonomy and can fight independently; secondly, the combat effectiveness of the combined battalion is there, and Commander Wang is also very relieved; thirdly, annihilating these troops from behind is undoubtedly much more important than eliminating the monkeys on Hill 1682.3, as those monkeys will be isolated by then.

Moreover, this is also a battle to support Hill 1682.3. It is undoubtedly much easier to launch an attack from the rear.

"Director Liu, I want to celebrate with my superiors for your battalion!" Commander Wang said with a smile.

Liu Tao was also in a good mood. He had never expected that the combined rescue operation would achieve such great results.

Over the past period of time, the combined battalion has conducted mountain attack drills in Tianzhu Mountain. It seems that the results are very outstanding and the ammunition consumed is worth it.

And so far, no soldier of the combined battalion has died in battle, only two soldiers were unlucky and injured.

With such small losses and such great results, it is undoubtedly a great victory.

Liu Tao didn't know whether to say that the combined battalion was too strong or that the enemy's 313th Regiment of the 14th Division was too weak.

However, Liu Tao felt that the 313th Regiment of the 14th Division was too weak.

Even though the superiors knew that there was a full reinforced regiment of troops at Koulin Mountain, they still let the 42nd Division carry out the mission instead of suspending the mission and replacing it with the 41st or 40th Division. They also did not send the 41st or 40th Division as reinforcements. It was obvious that they were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the enemy's 313th Division.

Commander Wang immediately asked someone to report the battle report to his superiors.

He knew that the higher-ups were always keeping an eye on the battlefield.

I believe that with this battle report, it will be enough to reassure the superiors and they won’t have to worry about the 42nd Division not being able to capture Koulin Mountain.

Liu Tao did not follow the combined battalion, but stayed at the forward command post. He was not a commander, so there was no need for him to take risks on the battlefield.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

He still understands this truth.

Liu Tao looked at the map and saw that the staff was already updating the battlefield situation map.

He now has a deeper understanding of the importance of Koulin Mountain. This is definitely an important military stronghold. The entire mountain is rugged and dangerous, with steep slopes and narrow roads, crisscrossing valleys, and dense wormwood. Occupying Koulin Mountain means overlooking the border of Masupo area with a depth of more than 20 kilometers. To the north, you can see the roads, villages and major transportation ports in China. To the east, you can see the Laoshan area. To the west, you can connect to Luojiaping Mountain, thus forming a relatively stable integrated defense line.

Whoever occupies Koulin Mountain will have the initiative.

He didn't understand why the monkeys had been given an opportunity to take advantage of him two years ago. It might be because there had been no war for too long and he didn't expect the monkeys to be so insidious and cunning. It might be because he wanted to facilitate the negotiations and reach an agreement at the negotiating table, but he didn't expect to be fooled by the monkeys.

　I was so exhausted from the recent revisions that I almost vomited blood. The update had to make some changes, alas!
