The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 192: Battle Result (Subscribe for monthly ticket)
With the support of artillery fire, the two infantry companies quickly reached the top of the mountain.

At this time, the cannon stopped firing to avoid accidentally injuring soldiers.

There was no rush to climb to the top of the mountain because this type of trench often has strong resistance to attacks.

It is impossible for all the shells to fall into the trenches. Rushing in would only increase casualties.

At this time, the soldiers took out the Type 80 rocket launcher. In this case, the best weapon is the fuel-air bomb.

"咻咻咻~~"

One after another, the fuel-air bombs fell on the top of the mountain.

The explosive power is not as strong as that of ordinary artillery shells, but the fuel-air bomb can burn all the air in the trench.

It took a full half hour before the soldiers continued to advance.

The soldiers imagined the aroma of barbecue to be the aroma of barbecued chickens and ducks during previous drills.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we saw a trench clearly visible, and many monkeys had died in a very tragic way.

As for the original artillery position, there was no one alive, and the mortars were destroyed by shells.

The situation on the top of the mountain was reported to Li Fuguo via walkie-talkie as soon as possible.

Li Fuguo took the guards to the top of the mountain, and some people took the captured mortars to the top of the mountain and built an artillery position on the top of the mountain.

As for howitzers and cannons, it is not so easy to move them and more manpower is required.

The soldiers collected the bodies and piled them aside.

Even if it is a monkey, death is the greatest thing and it will eventually be buried in peace.

As a civilized army, they could not just abandon corpses in the wilderness.

Li Fuguo left an infantry company here, as well as a part of the artillery here, to support the brother troops.

As for the top of the mountain, the flag was changed immediately.

On the top of the mountain, there are bullets and food, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

Li Fuguo let the troops rest. It must have been noon. After a morning of fighting, it was time for lunch.

Thanks to the 457th Artillery Regiment, they could have a hot meal here, and the chef even took the meat of the killed mules and horses and cooked it.

Masupo, Mengdong.

42nd Division Forward Command Post.

There was no tense atmosphere in the command center at this time, only relaxation and joy.

Everyone was eating, but due to limited conditions, the food was not very good.

Division Commander Wang laughed and said, "I didn't expect your battalion to be so fast. You have already circled to the back and annihilated the 313th Artillery Regiment of the 457th Division. Now the trenches on the 1682.3 high ground have been captured. The other monkeys are trapped in the jar!"

"I estimate that there are less than two companies of troops left here." Commander Wang was in a good mood.

The battle has been going much more smoothly than he had expected since it started.

In just less than an hour, they captured the core position of the main peak of Koulin Mountain, annihilated an enemy reinforced battalion and a guard company, and even captured the commander of the enemy corps headquarters.

In just one morning, Li Fuguo led a battalion to the rear and annihilated the 457th Artillery Regiment in a short time, and also captured the trenches on the 1682.3 high ground.

It is no exaggeration to say that this result has surpassed the results of the 42nd Division in that month two years ago.

Although the main credit goes to the combined battalion, he was the commander of this battle.

When it comes to rewarding merits, he, the commander, cannot be avoided.

"It's all because of Li Fuguo's good command. The soldiers dared to fight!" Liu Tao said while eating. He didn't expect that Li Fuguo and his men would achieve such a brilliant victory.

That was an artillery regiment, and it was annihilated by a combined battalion.

I can only say that this annihilation battle was fought beautifully!
"I have already reported to the superiors for your battalion's achievements!" said Commander Wang. "If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Koulin Mountain will be under our control today or tomorrow."

"Do you still have those disposable rockets and flamethrowers?" asked Commander Wang.

The battle this morning really opened his eyes.

If everyone has a set of Type 80 rocket launchers, it would be like everyone having a cannon. Who can stop it?

And the flamethrower was a very powerful weapon, lightweight and with a wide attack range. I don’t know how many mice hiding in the holes were burned to death.

Whether it is dealing with fortresses, caves or trenches, the flamethrower is extremely useful.

"We have brought all the Type 80 rocket launchers produced during this period, and the flamethrowers will be equipped to our battalion." Liu Tao said: "There is definitely no way now, but you can purchase them later if you want!"

"The military purchase price for the Type 80 rocket launcher is only 300 RMB, and the rocket shells are not included. After all, the prices of different shells are different." Liu Tao said: "As for the flamethrower, it also only costs 300 RMB, and the canister is not included."

"Commander Wang, I also have to consider the livelihood of everyone in the factory. You don't want to give our factory away for free, do you?" Liu Tao said.

Commander Wang smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"

Well, that’s actually what Commander Wang thought.

He looked at the soldiers of the combined battalion, each of whom had a set of Type 80 rocket launchers, and he was so greedy.

If every soldier of the 42nd Division could be equipped with a set of Type 80 rocket launchers, the firepower would be greatly enhanced, and mountain sieges like this would become much easier.

The Panshan Machinery Factory is extremely rich, and any money that slips through Liu Tao's fingers would be enough for the 42nd Division to have enough food and drink.

It’s a pity that Liu Tao has said so. He can’t be so shameless. He is not that thick-skinned.

Fortunately, the Type 80 rocket launcher and flamethrower are not expensive, at least much cheaper than the Type 69 rocket launcher.

The price of the Type 69 rocket launcher is as high as 900 RMB, and the shells are charged separately.

The 42nd Division does not have much military expenditure each year, but if they grit their teeth and squeeze, they can still squeeze out some to purchase Type 80 rocket launchers and flamethrowers.

There is no need for flamethrowers, one platoon is enough.

There is no need for many Type 80 rocket launchers, one thousand sets will be enough, which will greatly enhance the 42nd Division's offensive capabilities.

Seeing Commander Wang's expression, Liu Tao laughed in his heart.

This time he let the combined battalion participate in the battle. In addition to letting the combined battalion experience the test of the battlefield and test the combat effectiveness of the combined battalion, he also wanted to reduce our casualties in this battle.

Of course, he also has his own selfish motives, which is to make the weapons more powerful on the battlefield and thus obtain more domestic orders.

No weapon is more convincing than one that has withstood the test of battle.

The combined battalion lived up to his expectations and even gave him a big surprise.

He believed that after this battle, the troops would definitely increase the purchase of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, tanks and anti-aircraft machine guns.

Ever since the troops cleared out a batch of inventory, Liu Tao has been waiting for the troops to place an order. However, no matter how long he waited, the troops had no intention of purchasing more Type 80 tanks or Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

This made Liu Tao think more.

As the director of Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao has always been very rational. He has to make money abroad and also have domestic orders, because the domestic market is the basic base of Panshan Machinery Factory. He needs to ensure domestic orders to ensure the survival of Panshan Machinery Factory. The money earned abroad is profit.
