Chapter 193 Target Discovered (Subscription Request)

The destruction of the battalion headquarters was a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders in the various fortifications.

This was reflected in the afternoon, when the attack went very smoothly.

There were even internal conflicts among the defenders, and some defenders walked out of their bunkers and cat-ear caves to surrender voluntarily.

"Hehe, since you dare not surrender, I will send you to hell!" A soldier held a flamethrower and aimed it at a mouth.

The next moment, there was a whoosh sound, and a fire dragon spurted out from the muzzle and rushed straight towards the monkey in the cat ear cave.

A fire dragon gushed out and swept straight towards the monkeys in the cat ear cave. Before the monkeys inside could figure out what was going on, their bodies were already on fire. Howls of pain suddenly resounded throughout the cat ear cave. The monkeys inside did not care about the danger of being shot if they ran out. They ran outside and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies.

But it was all in vain. All the monkeys in the cat ear cave were burned to death by the fire. The whole process was shocking to watch.

It is more difficult to attack from below, but it is much easier to attack from above.

In addition, there were snipers on the top of the mountain aiming and protecting. The soldiers equipped with flamethrowers were just catching mice. As long as they did not surrender, they would conquer the fortresses and cat-ear caves one by one, either by spraying flames into them with flamethrowers or throwing grenades into them.

Of course, overall, using a flamethrower is more effective against monkeys hiding in fortresses and caves, and the effect is amazing.

The sun had not yet set, and the fighting here was over at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

No more gunshots were heard.

The other soldiers of the 42nd Division escorted two hundred prisoners away. At the same time, a regiment took over the place and cooperated with the engineering regiment to build fortifications in a hurry.

The combined battalion's combat operations are being repaired.

Everyone ate mule and horse meat and drank soup made from mule and horse bones.

After eating and drinking, everyone replenished their weapons and ammunition.

The wounded soldiers stayed behind to recuperate.

"Report! Battalion Commander, the scouts have discovered a large number of troops, including a regiment and a tank battalion!" At this time, the communications soldier reported.

"Where is it!" Li Fuguo asked hurriedly.

At the same time, the staff officer had brought the topographic map.

Li Fuguo took the walkie-talkie, contacted the scout, and marked it on the topographic map.

"Battalion commander, this is a good opportunity. As long as we hold this bridge, this regiment will be trapped!" The staff officer's eyes lit up.

Li Fuguo smiled and said, "This infantry regiment and tank battalion are probably reinforcements from the 14th Regiment. They haven't received the news that we have captured this place yet, so they are here to support us."

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!" Li Fuguo's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "What's the condition of this river? How wide is it? How deep is the water? Is the riverbed muddy or something else?"

"Battalion Commander, this river is about 30 meters wide. It's mostly dry season and the water is about half a meter to one meter deep in the riverbed. There's no silt at the bottom of the river, just pebbles!" the scout reported.

Li Fuguo hung up the walkie-talkie and then discussed the combat plan with his staff.

The terrain here is conducive to fighting an annihilation war, because the enemy has only one bridge in front and behind, a river on one side, and about three or four hundred meters of flat land on the other side, and steep mountains in the distance.

Li Fuguo called several company commanders and announced the battle plan. The two bridges were handed over to the special operations team and support forces. The first priority of the two tank companies was to destroy the tank battalion, and they were also responsible for dividing the battlefield into two halves.

The enemy's tank organization followed the Soviet armored organization. A company was equipped with 10 tanks, plus a command vehicle, and three companies formed an armored battalion.

Although there are more armored vehicles than two tank companies, Li Fuguo has sufficient confidence in his side.

After the combat plan was allocated, the combined battalion immediately sounded the emergency assembly whistle and set off immediately after the assembly.

On the way, Li Fuguo reported the situation and combat plan to the 42nd Division Command
313st Regiment, 191th Division.

"Commander, we are still 5 kilometers away from our destination." The chief of staff said to the commander of the 191st Regiment, holding a topographic map.

Pan Guang, the head of the 191st Regiment. "Damn it, what the hell is Pei Chi doing? A reinforced regiment is defending Koulin Mountain, and they still need us to come to their rescue!" Pan Guang couldn't help but curse.

The 191st Regiment was originally in the rear, and as a support force, it was required to provide support in the direction of Koulinshan and Laoshan at any time.

However, Pan Guang initially thought that this should not be his turn.

Because Koulin Mountain and Laoshan are easy to defend but difficult to attack, various fortresses, cat-ear caves and other defensive fortifications were built, and each was garrisoned by a reinforced regiment. With such a powerful defensive force, and the fact that they are easy to defend but difficult to attack, the enemy could not attack them without losing two or three divisions.

Sacrificing two or three divisions to attack Koulinshan and Laoshan is something a crazy commander would do.

As a result, he just received a call in the morning saying that there was an artillery battle at Koulinshan. Not long after, he received an order from the division commander Du Qingchi, asking him to rush to the rescue of Koulinshan.

Accompanying him was the tank battalion directly under the division.

After hastily assembling the team and making various preparations, Pan Guang set out with the 191st Regiment and met up with the Tank Battalion on the road, with the Tank Battalion in the front and the 191st Regiment in the rear.

In order to avoid being attacked by the tank from behind, the two maintained a distance of 500 meters.

"Commander, a tank in the tank battalion has broken down." Just then, the communications soldier came over on horseback.

Pan Guang frowned and said, "This Type 59 tank is just unreliable. It broke down twice along the way!"

坦克营有30辆坦克和1辆指挥车,30辆坦克有20辆苏制坦克,10辆59式坦克。

At that time, China provided Vietnam with a large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies, including the Type 59 tank.

"Order the entire army to stop and rest!" Pan Guang said.

He was not in a hurry to arrive. After all, even if Pei Chi was a pig, Koulin Mountain could not be conquered in one day.

This is the rear area and is very safe.

"The commander has ordered that all troops rest!"

"The commander ordered the entire army to rest!"

The signalman conveyed the order to rest on horseback, and a group of soldiers sat casually on the road and on both sides.

There were also soldiers who went to the fields to pick some fruits to eat.

The soldiers were chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, looking quite relaxed.

This is the rear area, there is no danger at all.

Even if smoke rises from the mountains in the distance, no one cares.

As everyone knows, there is a war going on in Koulinshan, and it is normal to have smoke during a war.

In this rear area, it is very safe and we will not encounter the enemy.

Pan Guang took a bottle of wine and started drinking it while eating the canned beef.

Looking at the defensive fortifications of Koulin Mountain on the topographic map, Pan Guang felt that if their 191st Regiment came to defend it, facing the attack of a division, they could hold out for at least three months without any reinforcements.

The more Pan Guang thought about it, the more he felt that Pei Chi was really a pig. A reinforced regiment was stationed in Koulin Mountain with so many defensive fortifications, but he asked for help as soon as the war started.

Pan Guangsu looked down on Pei Chi because the 191st Regiment was just an ordinary regiment with only 2150 people, while the 14th Regiment was a reinforced regiment with 2510 people. Pei Chi's position in the 313th Division was higher than his.

However, Pan Guang also knew that Pei Chi had someone up there.

In the battle two years ago, they suffered heavy losses and a group of cadres were dealt with. Someone above Pei Chi was directly promoted from a company commander to the commander of the 14th Regiment, like riding a rocket.

He can't compare to this.
