Chapter 197: Attack from the South (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

It is estimated that the enemy only thought of the Type 59 tank from the beginning.

These artillery and positions are definitely a great threat to the Type 59 tank. Even in this kind of mountain, the Type 59 tank is easy to break down.

But they never thought that China's third-generation main battle tank would be so abnormal and have super mountain combat capabilities.

Super mountain combat capabilities, strong defensive armor.

There is no need to take a special road, you can directly kill from the gentle slope on the south.

Bullets and artillery can't cause any damage to the Type 80 tank.

Liu Tao expressed his opinion.

Commander Wang showed a contemplative look.

After a while, Commander Wang said: "Well, then your battalion is responsible for attacking from the south!"

Anyway, it will not affect the attack of the 121st Regiment, and it can even contain some firepower.

After assigning their tasks, everyone went down to prepare.

In the camp of the synthetic battalion, Li Fuguo convened a meeting of the company commanders.

Laoshan is quite different from Koulinshan. At the beginning, only two tank companies can launch an attack, and the infantry company can't do anything.

After all, the enemy's artillery and bullets can't kill the Type 80 tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but they can kill infantry.

The infantry company can take advantage of the enemy's attack to expose the firepower points and eliminate those firepower points.

Heavy sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, rifle grenades, and sniper grenade launchers will all be the main force.

In the afternoon, each unit was resting and formulating a combat plan.

The next day, it was just dawn.

The 121st Regiment began to attack, and the two tank companies of the combined battalion drove at full speed and attacked the mountain.

The tank was discovered as soon as it emerged.

Boom boom~~

Da da da~~

The sound of bullets and artillery continued to sound, some fell on the ground, splashing dust, and some hit the tanks, but the tanks were still safe and sound, without any obstruction.

The minesweeper cleared the way in front, and mines were constantly detonated.

At the same time, other soldiers of the combined battalion began to attack those exposed firepower points.

Even when the tank was driving, the main gun was constantly rotating and roaring, attacking the bunkers in the distance.

As long as it was hit, a reinforced concrete bunker would be destroyed by a tank gun.

Of course, the hit rate of the tank was not that high, and it was impossible to hit 100%.

But even so, it was already very scary.

The tank was constantly moving, and it could keep firing as it kept moving forward, while the enemy's artillery positions needed to constantly correct the angle of the muzzle, so it was not easy to attack the tank.

Even though the speed of the Type 80 tank was only about 30 kilometers per hour at this time, it also meant that the tank was constantly moving.

It was easier to hit a stationary target, but it was much more difficult to hit a moving target.

The hit rate was less than 10%.

The crater caused by the shells could be easily crushed by the Type 80 tank.

Li Fuguo kept observing the battlefield through a telescope, and he was secretly relieved when he saw that the tank company was safe and sound.

As long as he rushed forward, it would be a huge victory.

And the infantry company was constantly removing the enemy's firepower points.

If they are close, rifle grenades are used; if they are farther away, sniper grenades and heavy machine guns are used; if they are farther away, heavy sniper rifles are used, because heavy sniper rifles have the highest accuracy.

The exposed fire points were removed one by one.

In just 20 minutes, the Type 80 tanks had already rushed up.

There was a company stationed above, and the battalion headquarters was also located here.

When the tanks rushed up, it was the end of the defenders here.

The headquarters of the concrete building was smashed by a single shot.

Many defenders abandoned their positions and came to support.

"Boom boom~~"

The tanks kept firing, specifically firing at crowded places.

One shot down, the lethality was extremely amazing.

The difficulty of the 121st Regiment's attack was greatly reduced.

Because of the tactics of the combined battalion, the enemy's entire tactics were disrupted.

The entire Laoshan was in a mess.

At this time, the two tank companies were equivalent to attracting firepower and dividing the battlefield.

And it disrupted the enemy's deployment. The enemy's regiment headquarters was destroyed by tank guns before, and the regiment headquarters suffered countless casualties, which made the 122nd Regiment of the 313th Division stationed here actually in a situation of being leaderless and fighting on their own.

The most feared thing for a unit is to lose command.

Without a unified command, it means fighting on its own and being a mess.

Of course, at this time, the synthetic battalion did not know that the regiment headquarters here was destroyed.

It was just that the two artillery companies were cooperating with the three infantry companies to provide artillery cover for them and cover them coming up.

Although the radars of the two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were activated at this time, they did not save bullets, but continued to attack.

It was just different from the rapid shooting of anti-aircraft guns during air defense, which was a burst of shooting at this time.

Although the caliber of the anti-aircraft guns was a little smaller, it was not as powerful as the 125mm caliber of the tanks. After all, it was a gun, and its power was much stronger than bullets.

Even the enemy's small-caliber mortars were not as powerful as anti-aircraft guns.

With the cover of the tank company's artillery fire, the three tank companies quickly killed the top of the mountain.

Flamethrowers and rockets were used in coordination.

And at this time, they were in a high position and had the upper hand with firepower advantage.

When the battle report came from the 42nd Division headquarters, it caused exclamations.

The combined battalion actually attacked and occupied the high ground.

This is simply incredible.

Before, they would never choose to attack from the south, because it was under fire blockade, and they might not be able to attack the main peak even if they left the entire 42nd Division here.

But the combined battalion actually used two tank companies as a breakthrough and won by surprise.

This can be said to have caught the enemy off guard and was greatly beyond the expectations of the command.

They all thought that the combined battalion would inevitably encounter considerable trouble if it attacked from the south, but who would have thought that the combined battalion would take the initiative on the battlefield so quickly and even cooperate with the attack of the 121st Regiment.

At noon, the 121st Regiment successfully completed the division of the battlefield.

Liu Tao listened to the casualty figures reported by all parties and was secretly shocked.

In one morning, the 121st Regiment suffered a lot of casualties in the battle. The various bunkers and cat-ear caves built by the enemy were really not vegetarian.

And there were also some wounded soldiers in the combined battalion.

The battlefield was really dangerous. No matter how to win by surprise, it was difficult to achieve zero casualties.

And so far, there are still gunshots from time to time in the direction of the main peak. It is obvious that the enemy's bunkers and caves have not been completely cleared.

The same is true on the south side. Although the combined battalion has already captured the main peak, it is still facing the threat of enemy artillery fire, which is a problem in terms of supply.

For example, the two tank companies have to go down the mountain to replenish ammunition for supply.

The troops simply cannot let people carry weapons and ammunition up the mountain to supply the two tank companies, because this kind of threat from guns and artillery from time to time makes supply very inconvenient.

Liu Tao clearly felt that the difference between Laoshan and Koulinshan is that the terrain here is more complex, the enemy's defense formation is stronger, and there are more troops.

The enemy's 313th Division is really crazy and deployed 2 regiments of troops here.
