#347 - A narrow road meeting!
At the same time, the machine gun platoon and the infantry platoon each found suitable positions, put down their equipment, and then took out the engineer shovels from behind and began to desperately dig temporary fighting positions on the hillside! They were digging as much as they could now, because they all knew very well that having a good cover in the upcoming battle would increase their chances of survival.
Fortunately, the hillside here was all dirt, and the comrades' digging work was very fast along the hillside. The flying shovels brought up the dirt, and soon a small platform was dug along the mountain, followed by a shallow trench. Although it could not prevent artillery bombardment, it was enough to prevent bullets from shooting up from the foot of the mountain.
More than 100 people set up a simple fish-scale-like position against the mountain.
The snipers, rocket launcher teams, and mortar teams each looked for good positions facing the road at the foot of the mountain and constantly carried out ranging and sighting preparations.
The snipers and rocket launcher teams dispersed two hundred meters away from the road, and the mortar team retreated several hundred meters to the foot of the mountain, setting up positions in the cornfield. They all had range-finding telescopes and could observe and aim at the imagined battlefield without waiting for the enemy to arrive.
More than ten minutes later, the Kingston Task Force of the 7th Infantry Division of the Rogue Eagle, driving two M24 light tanks, with more than 300 infantrymen in more than a dozen trucks, came singing all the way to the vicinity of Muli Chuan Village.
Although they were ordered to rescue the 24th Division, these soldiers of the 7th Division didn't care much.
As a division that had participated in two world wars, produced three ace regiments: the Polar Bear Regiment, the Spearhead, and the Buffalo, and completed combat missions as punctually as an ancient hourglass, the Seventh Division was not a second-rate team like the 24th Division, but the famous Hourglass Division.
Like the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division, they were the main force of the Rogue Eagle on the peninsula, and they had the confidence to defeat any enemy.
The task force led by Second Lieutenant Kingston came from the 32nd Regiment. The well-connected Second Lieutenant Kingston (who later served as the first commander of the Central Command in another timeline) was now actually doing the task force command that only a major was qualified to command. In his task force, there was even a captain company commander!
However, at this moment, he could only sit in the second tank and follow Second Lieutenant Kingston's lead car.
No one felt anything was wrong with this arrangement. Rogue Eagle had always emphasized individual heroism. Second Lieutenant Kingston had family background and ability, and he dared to rush to the front in battle. As the vanguard of the 32nd Regiment, Kingston at least took the lead.
"Task force reports, no enemies found, all the way safe, you can rest assured to go ahead!" Kingston looked at the empty road, the village ahead was filled with smoke, there was no movement, and reported to the 32nd Regiment headquarters through the tank communication system.
"Received, Second Lieutenant Jin, please pay attention to safety!" A blonde beauty replied from the regiment headquarters.
"Miss Anna, I think we can have lunch here. There are a dozen families here, and it looks like they are cooking." Second Lieutenant Kingston said. As a member of the "rescue" of the northern nation, Kingston did not think that eating a meal from the local people was anything.
Although the troops carried dry food, dry food was not as good as hot food.
"Go ahead, Second Lieutenant Jin, just don't let the guerrillas stare at you." Miss Anna smiled on the radio, apparently knowing that Second Lieutenant Kingston and the others were not doing this for the first time.
"What are they trying to do?" Zhao Erhu, the first platoon leader, asked with some doubts next to Li Tianxi, watching the Rogue Eagle's tank slowly drive towards the village on a large road. "Could it be that they still want to eat the people's food here?"
Zhao Erhu didn't expect that he was right. But Li Tianxi didn't give them a chance.
Seeing that Kingston and another tank turned, and the subsequent car topped to block the tank from speeding on the road, he decisively ordered. "Rocket launcher! Knock out the enemy's tank for me!"
Before the Rogue Eagle captain in the tank, whose forehead was suddenly hit forward by the crash, could react.
Four rockets hit the target one after another. With a series of explosions, the captain's tank behind Kingston detonated the ammunition inside the tank with the explosion of the rocket, and he died before he could even start!
But Second Lieutenant Kingston was very lucky. Although the two armor-piercing shells that hit his tank blew open the shell of the tank, they did not cause a secondary explosion, so nothing happened for the time being.
But this sudden rocket attack really scared Kingston to pee. He saw him hurriedly open the tank's hood and skillfully escaped.
Then he ran back to the infantry queue in a panic.
It was too dangerous just now!
If those two rockets hadn't hit him squarely, his little life would have been over.
There really are Northern Army guerrillas in this mountain forest!
Second Lieutenant Kingston shouted as he ran, "Enemy attack, disperse and counterattack! Go go go!"
Before he could finish speaking, the second round of rockets slammed into the tank that was still desperately moving to hide!
This time, he was not so lucky. The same two rockets penetrated this time and detonated the ammunition inside in the same way. With a loud bang, the task force's two tanks became a thing of the past.
However, not only that, but the sound of machine guns and 56-halves and 56-Chongs in the distance began to sound densely, and bullets rained down on the remaining infantry of the Rogue Eagle!
The Rogue Eagle's soldiers screamed and fled the cars and the road, and pounced on the nearby hillsides and ditches!
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.com!
Among them, the heavy machine guns on the 4 half-track armored vehicles turned their barrels and began to strafe the hillside!
This is a Browning heavy machine gun, 12.7 mm caliber, with huge lethality, and any contact with the human body is disabled!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Li Tianxi felt his scalp tingling when he heard the bullets flying over his head.
The standard weapons uniformly equipped by the troops are mainly the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, the Type 56 submachine gun, and the Type 56 light machine gun. These weapons have the same caliber. Similar to the Browning heavy machine gun, it has not yet been developed. There are still a few Maxim guns used as supplements.
Because the Type 56 light machine gun is very powerful, on the battlefield, the position of the large-caliber heavy machine gun is given to the 20 mm anti-aircraft gun, which is also a huge killer with great lethality when flattened.
However, this round of Rogue Eagle's heavy machine gun counterattack made Li Tianxi yearn for heavy machine guns.
With a muffled bang, the heavy machine gunner on one of the half-track armored vehicles fell forward, his head almost blown apart!
This is the counterattack of the sniper in Li Tianxi's company! The large sniper is very reliable in this situation. As long as the enemy shows his head, there is basically no accident within a kilometer!
The first, the second
The snipers named the Rogue Eagle's heavy machine gunners one by one, and soon disintegrated this wave of Rogue Eagle's counterattack, but they were not useless. At least when they were strafing, they suppressed many volunteer soldiers from daring to look up, and the firepower of Li Tianxi's 1st company was suddenly suppressed.
Let Kingston and most of his task force escape!
Then, the 60mm mortars and 82mm mortars began to counterattack!
One after another, mortar shells were sent to the hillside where Li Tianxi's company was ambushed.
Although the accuracy is random, this kind of free counterattack also has times when blind cats run into dead mice, posing a great threat to the position of Li Tianxi's company.
