The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 478: Fighting on a Rainy Night
Front Command.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping are holding a meeting.

Looking at the military map on the wall, the staff officers have already worked out the battle plan.

"According to reconnaissance, the enemy's 338th Division is stationed in this village to take shelter from the rain. Our goal is to severely damage the enemy's 338th Division, or even destroy it!" Li Fuguo introduced the situation while holding a baton.

As the rain intensified, the division took shelter in this village.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of weather is naturally not suitable for combat, because the roads are muddy and visibility is also affected, not to mention that it is already evening and the sky has darkened.

But for the combined forces brigade, this is a rare opportunity.

Other troops are not suitable for combat in such conditions, but the light combined brigade is different. The light combined brigade is very suitable for combat in this weather.

"In this battle, the light combined brigade will be the main offensive force, and all of the heavy combined brigade's troops, except for the main battle tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, will be deployed in the battle." Li Fuguo's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Commander-in-chief, there are thousands of people in this village. If a fight breaks out here, it will be easy for civilians to be injured accidentally." Chen Ping was a little worried.

Li Fuguo waved his hand, "I don't care about that. Fighter opportunities are hard to come by. If the higher-ups hold me accountable, I'll take full responsibility!"

At that time, Li Fuguo served as the commander of the main regiment, leading the troops to achieve great feats in the "Red Dragon's Roar" operation. The regiment even won the honorary title of "Tiger Regiment". However, he ordered something that violated discipline, and he took all the responsibility afterwards. Others were promoted and received honors, but he left the army because of taking responsibility for something that violated discipline.

Similarly, in order to severely damage or even annihilate the enemy's 338th Division, Li Fuguo used this to let other cadres not have any ideological burden.

At this time, the Chief of Staff began to introduce the situation of the enemy's 338th Division.

The enemy's 338th Division, according to its formation history, is a unit that has experienced the wars against France and the United States. It should be a unit with many military achievements, but on the contrary, the unit lacks the tempering of major wars and has been performing mediocrely since its formation.

However, the enemy's 338th Division was very arrogant and regarded itself as an ace. It attacked 6 kilometers into our Banlan area. As a result, it could not move forward under the full sniping of our border defense regiment and militia. Later, under the counterattack of the 50st Regiment of the 148th Division of the 1th Army, the division lost a battalion and was severely damaged at the cost of more than 300 people in the north, and fled back to our territory in a hurry.

In 1979's "Red Dragon's Roar", the 338th Division fought again and suffered heavy losses, but it did something that made people grit their teeth on the battlefield, that is, the 338th Division was the only enemy force that dared to use chemical weapons.

After years of replenishment, the 338th Division has once again returned to full strength.

After the deployment was completed, the two combined brigades began to move.

Even though it was raining and even though it was already night, the two combined brigades still set out.

The Type 80 main battle tank and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun did not participate in the battle because the road at that time was no longer suitable for the deployment of these two big guys, especially when they had to cross a bridge, which could not support the Type 80 main battle tank and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun to cross the bridge.

Before they knew it, the two combined brigades had formed an encirclement.

The self-propelled artillery has a minimum range of 5 kilometers, and some even stop at 10 kilometers and then begin to adjust various parameters.

All vehicles turned off their lights and waited quietly.

The soldiers were resting and waiting quietly for the battle to come.

In order to avoid disturbing the enemy, even the infantry fighting vehicles were kept away from the village courtyard.

At about 4:30, the soldiers were woken up and began to eat canned beef in silence to replenish their nutrition.

After this meal, you have to wait until at least noon or until the enemy is eliminated before you can eat again.

Every soldier ate a can of beef.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Commanders at all levels looked at their watches with solemn and serious expressions.

When the time reached 04:59 and entered the final 60-second countdown, the commander counted down silently.

When the pointer pointed to 5:00, at this man's most difficult moment, the order was finally issued.

The first thing that started was a signal flare launched into the air, and the artillery, which had already adjusted all the parameters, took the lead in launching the attack. The bombardment always started first.

In order to completely annihilate the enemy, all guns will use up a certain amount of their shells.

Rockets, with bright lights, flew towards the village.

There are no civilian facilities or military facilities. At this time, they are all military facilities and they are all targets.

With so many cannons firing at the same time, the sound was deafening.

At the same time, 120 light tanks and all infantry fighting vehicles were rushing towards the village from one road after another.

The Type 81 amphibious tank can directly travel in the river. Even if the water in the river is three or four meters deep, it will not affect the combat of the Type 81 amphibious tank.

Although the road is a bit muddy, light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are relatively light and can still be handled.

When the light tanks were two or three kilometers away from the village, they began to fire while moving forward.

What tanks attack are either tanks or armored vehicles, or cars!

Although the main gun of the Type 81 light tank is only a 105mm gun, its power is quite impressive.

The Type 81 light tank hunts down high-value targets with an overwhelming force, crushing the enemy and drowning the enemy with a torrent of steel.

The enemy soldiers who were sleeping soundly were thrown into chaos by the sudden artillery fire.

They didn't understand. They were clearly twenty or thirty kilometers away from the other side, and they were temporarily stationed here to avoid the rain, so how did the other side find them? Their scouts outside didn't find any trace of the other side either.

But at this moment, there is no time to think too much.

Some commanders with better qualities began to organize to avoid the shelling, while some commanders with weaker qualities directly took the lead in fleeing.

As for the soldiers, it was even worse.

This unit was severely damaged once in 1979 and again in recent years. Although it has rested and replenished its troops over the past year, bringing its personnel to full strength, its weapons and equipment are not yet fully staffed.

After all, the 338th Division is not an elite division, and Soviet-style equipment will definitely be given priority to ace divisions and elite divisions.

After the shelling ended, Type 81 light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles arrived and continued to disperse and divide the enemy forces.

"Da da da~~" Heavy machine guns and light machine guns continuously spewed out flames to kill the enemy.

Relying on its strong mobility, it divided the enemy into more than ten sections in this plain area, where the front and rear could not take care of each other.

This kind of plain area is densely covered with rivers, crisscrossing each other, and there is no strategic location to defend.

The enemy's 338th Division was completely unable to organize an effective resistance.

The steel torrent rolled, and the rain on the ground was dyed red by the enemy's blood. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder from artillery fire.

The dawn has come, but it does not bring the dawn of hope!

Throughout the battlefield, the enemy's 338th Division had been divided, surrounded, outflanked, and annihilated.

Companies after companies were escorting prisoners. Each prisoner raised his hands high, looking dejected and terrified, fearing that he would be shot directly.

However, there were also companies that were pursuing the fleeing remnants of the army, trying to completely annihilate the 338th Division and add another chapter to the history of the army.

　My daughter is one year old. I am quite busy and cannot update on time today. I may not be able to update five chapters.
