The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 191: Encounter with the Artillery Regiment (Subscription Request)
Soon, the special operations team reaped the rewards.

Liang Zhan led his men over and saw a team of mules and horses moving forward very slowly.

You can tell at first glance that it's carrying a lot of weight.

"Tiger, this is an artillery regiment. It should be the 313th Artillery Regiment of the 457th Division mentioned in the intelligence." Lei Ming was very excited: "Look at them transporting cannons and boxes of artillery shells."

Lei Ming was observing the team of mules and horses with a telescope and was very excited.

Liang Zhan held the telescope and couldn't help licking his lips.

按照情报，这个炮兵457团有两个炮兵营，总编制大概在1050人左右，装备着24门105毫米榴弹炮、12门76.2毫米加农炮、1挺7.62毫米班用机枪、40毫米榴弹发射器1具、望远镜48副、炮队镜1副、经纬仪4具、方向盘26副。

"Artillery Regiment 457, we've caught a big fish!" Liang Zhan's eyes sparkled.

Afterwards, Liang Zhan, Zhou Zhenguo and Lei Ming discussed in a low voice and reported to the battalion commander Li Fuguo immediately.

"The battalion commander and his men are only four kilometers away from us. They will be able to support us soon. Now we will attack from the front and back." Liang Zhan deployed the battle plan.

Zhou Zhenguo and Lei Ming both agreed: "Let's do it! Once the heavy firepower on the mountain reacts and adjusts, maybe we can all end the battle!"

Then, everyone dispersed and took down the Type 80 rocket launcher.

"Bang!" Liang Zhan's pistol fired into the air.

"咻咻咻~~"

The gunshot was like a signal. The soldiers fired shells one after another, then immediately threw the Type 80 rocket launchers in their hands to the side, hid with their weapons, and dispersed.

"Boom boom boom~~"

One shell after another flew towards the mule and horse team on the mountain road, and explosions continued to sound.

The 80mm caliber rocket launcher is extremely powerful, especially because it has six fuel-air explosive bombs.

A total of 24 rockets were enough to deal a heavy blow to this artillery regiment.

It took less than ten seconds from the time the gunshots rang out to the time the rocket landed.

People were constantly being killed or injured in the explosions, and mules and horses were neighing.

The scene was chaotic.

The alarm sounds.

The 313th Artillery Regiment of the 457th Division was in chaos. The sudden attack caught them off guard.

"Da da da~~" The special operations team fired with Type 78 automatic rifles.

The sniper was holding a Type 78 heavy sniper rifle. He was very calm and did not shoot easily. Instead, he was looking for the target.

Finally, aim at a shell box through the scope.

Incendiary bombs were fired.

boom!
The incendiary bomb hit the ammunition box, causing it to explode.

The surrounding artillerymen were killed one after another.

"Da da da~~~"

"Da da da~~~"

Other soldiers used Type 78 automatic rifles for short bursts, while snipers used heavy sniper rifles to continuously hit the shell boxes and hunt important targets.

And when the 457th Artillery Regiment began to organize a counterattack after the initial chaos.

咻咻咻~~
One after another, the sound of breaking through the air came.

The experienced artillerymen immediately recognized the sound as the whistling of an incoming artillery shell.

However, it was the two tank companies of the combined battalion that were firing at a distance of 3 kilometers to support the special operations team.

The view from this location is quite good.

It was also because of the poor vision before, otherwise we could have opened fire and provided artillery support at the first moment.

The onboard radars of the two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were rotating, constantly searching for aerial targets.

The first priority of a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is air defense, not providing fire support.

With the artillery support provided by tanks, the infantry company has rushed towards the 457th Artillery Regiment.

On the road, tank shells fell one after another, forming craters one after another, as if the earth was shaking. You should know that the main gun of the Type 80 tank is a 125mm smoothbore gun, and such a large caliber main gun is even larger than the caliber of the howitzer of the 457th Artillery Regiment.

Soon, one tank company remained in place to continue providing artillery support, while the other tank company advanced.

The demining vehicle was moving in front, clearing mines.

Even though there were no mines on this side of the mountain, out of caution, a demining vehicle was still used to clear the way.

On the mountain, command center.

"Battalion Commander, it's bad. They are attacking us from behind. The 457th Artillery Regiment has been attacked!" the observer reported in panic.

Ruan Fugui was horrified: "How dare they! How dare they attack from behind? Hasn't there been any news from the regiment yet?"

Due to backward communication, the phone call could not be connected, and Ruan Fugui thought the telephone line was cut.

There was some distance between them, and Ruan Fugui didn't know that the place had been completely occupied.

After all, he simply didn't believe that the main peak could be lost in such a short time.

He caused great damage to the attacking forces.

So far, everything here is as stable as a rock.

"There is no news from the regiment headquarters yet! Battalion Commander, think of a solution quickly!" The observer kept sweating.

They only have the battalion's artillery company, which is equipped with mortars, but no howitzers or the like.

Once the 457th Artillery Regiment is destroyed, they will be attacked from both sides and it will be the end of them.

After all, they did not build any fortifications on this side. Facing attacks from both sides, their forces had to be dispersed, and they could not stop the attack from this side.

"Quick, order the artillery company to attack the enemy!" Ruan Fugui shouted.

Their artillery company is equipped with small-caliber mortars, which can be fired from a high position with a range of up to 5 kilometers.

The artillery company received the order and the artillerymen took the mortars and artillery shells, moved the artillery positions, and then rebuilt the artillery positions.

By the time the new artillery position was built, the battle over there was over.

The infantry company had captured the surviving soldiers of the 457th Artillery Regiment.

At this time, the artillery of the combined battalion had adjusted the angle of the howitzers. Although many guns had been destroyed, some were still in good condition.

The artillery of the combined battalion is very familiar with equipment such as howitzers and cannons.

Because these were the supports provided to Monkey in the first place.

It's a pity that I have raised a group of ungrateful people.

Six howitzers and five cannons adjusted their angles.

"Get ready, let go!"

As the command flag was waved, shells from howitzers and cannons whizzed out. This large elevation angle was much stronger than that of a tank's main gun.

Shells whizzed out one after another.

Boom boom boom~~~
Bursts of artillery fire rang out continuously, and every shell landed accurately on the enemy position on the mountain.

On the enemy's position, artillery shells hit the ground, shaking the earth. Explosions continued to be heard, accompanied by screams.

The artillery positions were the first to be hit by artillery shells before the mortars were even fired.

Li Fuguo was already commanding the tank company and the infantry company to launch an attack. As for the prisoners, the unarmed prisoners did not require many people to guard them.

It was also because of the seizure of this batch of cannons and artillery shells that Li Fuguo would not have dared to launch an attack rashly, but would have replenished his ammunition first.

After all, each tank now has few shells.

The power of a tank without shells would be greatly weakened.

With the support of these cannons and artillery fire, things would be different.

After all, the enemy forces on the mountain are facing the strength of an entire regiment of the 42nd Division. Li Fuguo believes that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side will definitely seize the opportunity.

At the same time, Li Fuguo asked the communications soldiers to send a telegram to the headquarters to report the situation.
