Chapter 865 "Fuck Him"

In the first round of fire preparation, all the enemy's discovered artillery positions were wiped out in one fell swoop, and more thoroughly than before.

After all, with 36 guns and 12 tubes and more than 400 rockets, it would be difficult for these positions to survive. Mountain artillery positions are not like coastal artillery or concrete bunker positions on large defense lines. Usually, they are pulled into solid bunkers to hide, but most of them are bareheaded. Artillery can't penetrate trenches and communication trenches.

With a camouflage net on its head, it is considered to have done a good job of concealment. Unfortunately, the Tu-4 has an infrared thermal imager.

Wow, there is someone running around under this grass, it's worth a shot!
Hey, why is the snow so shiny? We should have a shot!
The artillery and ammunition on the enemy's position provided a feast for the first round of rockets.

When the comrades in charge of the assault set out on their journey, our rocket launchers had already begun to move.

We should be lenient in anticipating the enemy. We assume that the enemy also has the equipment we have.

"Move as quickly as possible to prevent enemy counterattack."

"Can the enemy still fight back?"

"It's always better to be cautious and give the enemy a chance. You've never been to the training ground in the northwest. The requirements there are even stricter than what I just said. You have to change positions after fighting for two rounds at most."

Just as the comrades of the rocket artillery battalion were moving their positions to a backup position not far away, all the comrades on the 15-kilometer-wide front had already rushed forward.

The timing was very unified, and there were no situations in history where troops did not arrive as planned, deployment was unbalanced, and there were inconsistencies due to lack of maps, getting lost, or not being in place in time.

The enemy also reacted and began to enter the bunkers, each of which was madly spewing flames.

The equipment of the Zangsan at that time could be said to be made in various countries. Before the war, in order to "intimidate" us, they invited our comrades to observe their exercises, intending to scare us.

The reactions of the comrades who went to observe were probably...

"That's it?"

But no matter what, a machine gun is still a real machine gun and poses a huge threat.

The preliminary artillery preparation is just preparation after all. It is impossible to destroy all the enemy's defense lines or eliminate all the enemy's firepower points.

For a moment, there were gunshots everywhere on the battlefields, but there was no deafening cry of killing. It was not yet time for that.

"Deputy squad leader, there is a bunker over there, which is suppressing the troops behind." On a battlefield, a soldier pointed to a firing hole in the front where crazy shooting was going on.

This was a bunker that had not been discovered before the war. Not to mention the bunker, it was hard to say whether the discovered targets could be completely eliminated with the fire preparation. This bunker was naturally alive and well. At this moment, it was madly spewing flames out, and the several bunkers around it, in front and behind it, were also shooting madly.

In front of this bunker is an open area about 100 meters wide, where all vegetation and shelters have been cleared. These ancillary works are part of the defensive fortifications, which are used to clear the firing range for these bunkers. Defensive fortifications are far more than just piling up a few sandbags and setting up a few machine guns.

Zang San has been operating here for a long time, and they have done everything they should do for this kind of thing, which has caused us a lot of trouble.

This hundred-meter-long road is tightly locked by several bunkers.

"Where's the 75? Call it up and shoot it!"

"That thing is heavy and hasn't caught up yet." Even though this group was responsible for the main attack on this position, the superiors had reinforced the 75mm rifles in this direction to accompany these squads. However, the barrels of the 75mm rifles were not light, and this was a plateau, so they naturally couldn't compete in speed with the light infantry.

If the firepower of the assault cannot keep up, the casualties during the assault will be huge. War is not something that can wait.
"Light machine gun, cover! Rocket launcher! Go!" The squad leader did not hesitate. This guy brought a lot. This was an offensive battle. Apart from the necessary compressed dry food and some water, all he brought were ammunition and weapons.

At this time, it has been a long time since the 61 disposable rocket launcher was finalized. Every soldier in the class is a rocket launcher operator, but if conditions permit, it is better for the original rocket launcher operators to fire.

The light machine gunner set up his machine gun in a pit nearby.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da da da..."

Our light machine gunners were well-trained, firing a combination of long and short bursts at a very rhythmic pace. At this distance, the bullets didn't even leave the enemy's firing holes, which temporarily affected the enemy's firepower.

You might not be so lucky as to kill someone directly by shooting into the firing hole, but the dust raised by the bullet around the firing hole in the enemy bunker had both physical and psychological effects on the enemy's shooting.

The rocket launcher operator, who had been eager to try, picked up a rocket launcher without saying a word and lay on the rock.

This thing is really convenient, you can just take it down and start playing.

Through the scope, I measured the distance, 110 meters. I was happy with the rocket launcher in my hand. If I had used the old 40mm rocket at this distance, I would have suffered a lot, because that thing can only shoot 50 meters, and it would not be accurate beyond that.

In the original history, from 62 to 69, our soldiers brought their rocket launchers within 50 meters of the enemy and fired. One reason was because they were brave, and the other was that there was really no other way. To ensure the hit rate, they had to put themselves in danger.

With bullets flying and crossfire from multiple enemy bunkers, the cost of moving to within 50 meters of the bunker is not small.

But now it is different. Below the snow line in the SND area is a virgin forest, or at least there is some vegetation. The danger decreases exponentially between 50 meters and 100 meters or even 150 meters.

110 meters, it is still far from the maximum direct fire range of 180 meters.

The rocket launcher operator used his most comfortable posture, quickly aimed, and then fired a shot.

The rocket, trailing a cloud of gunpowder, slammed head-on into the bunker that was spitting out flames. With a loud "boom", the bricks and stones of the bunker flew everywhere and scattered.

This bunker made of sandbags, stones, earth and wood can only defend against light weapons such as guns, but it is not strong enough to withstand 80mm armor-piercing shells.

Not to mention killing all the enemies, but it is safe to say that those who are dead will die, those who are injured will be injured, and those who are not dead will be temporarily disabled.

The squad leader looked very happy. In the past, it would have required 40mm close range fire, and he might even have to use blood to open the way forward with blasting tubes and explosive packs.

The most prominent bunker was destroyed, but there were still several bunkers around it spewing flames.

Although I couldn't see it, I could hear it, and the dust that occasionally rose from the open ground ahead also proved that the enemy was still shooting at this place.

The enemy does not need to see the open area, they just need to shoot at the preset shooting blockade area and range.

Hot Knowledge: No matter when a heavy machine gunner is, he cannot see the enemy during a considerable part of the battle.

Many people would be puzzled when they imagine a war: since everyone's firepower has the same range, can't I just push my heavy machine gun up and shoot at you? This is one of the reasons.

The defender doesn't care whether you come or not. I only block the designated area with firepower. You can't see that I can't pass through this area, so how can you come up and shoot at me?

This is a kind of one-way transparency on the battlefield to a certain extent.

After destroying the bunker in the front, a gap appeared in the enemy's preset firepower network. The combat team moved forward a little and could see several bunkers behind from the flank. They were about to call for machine gunners to provide cover, but when they saw the distance, they gave up.

The distance was even farther, and the enemy had no time to care about us at all. After all, our machine gunner was not far from the rocket launcher operator, and once he opened fire, he exposed the position of his team.

"Look, can you destroy it with one shot?" The squad leader was used to it. The one shot here was not 75mm, but 61mm.

The rocket launcher operator picked up the scope that had just been removed from the abandoned launch tube and measured the distance. This disposable scope is very popular because it can more or less act as a telescope and can also roughly measure the distance. Ordinary soldiers who do not have a telescope usually like to remove the discarded scope after training and use it as a telescope.

"About 160 meters, I'm confident!" After stuffing the "telescope" into the bag, the rocket launcher took the second rocket launcher. He carried three of these things! 160 meters was a bit close to the limit, but he had trained on the plateau for a long time and was fully adapted to the local ballistic conditions, so he had the confidence.

He leaned over, looked at the multi-function timer hanging on the squad leader, and determined the altitude.

Then he held his breath and took aim. If an ordinary soldier looked at the field of view through his sight at this time, he would think that he was aiming off the target. This was where he made adjustments. When it came to firing cannons, I was a professional!
Another shot, and another bunker flew into the sky.

"Move forward, move forward!" The squad leader called on the comrades in the combat group to move forward.

They moved forward like this, and except for one comrade who was slightly injured and had his arm pierced by a stray bullet, the entire combat team was completely unharmed!

They attacked at an extremely fast speed, but it was very hard for the 75 comrades who followed them.

After finally rushing up with the cannon, they saw nothing except the smoking bunker and the fallen bodies of the enemy. They did see some surrendering enemies, but they had no intention of taking the prisoners. This task would be completed by the comrades behind them. The most urgent task was to catch up with the comrades who were charging!
"It's amazing! All these bunkers and fortifications couldn't stop them. It feels like our artillery wasted."

"Yes, according to experience, they need us to come up and take some out. But today it went by like this. It seems that this dirty guy is not good enough."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and catch up." The artillery squad leader was both regretful and happy. He regretted that he didn't use his strength, but he was happy that his comrades were advancing so smoothly and there must be few casualties.

Hurry up and follow him, in case there is a tough enemy.

In fact, Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life that we were advancing very fast. What was the value of destroying a fully equipped and well-fortified brigade in one day? And now it is even faster.
