Chapter 868 Elimination
The reconnaissance squad leader picked up the walkie-talkie, adjusted the frequency, and reported the battle situation to the headquarters.
"Report, the bridge has been blown up!"
"Okay, you guys stay there, don't attack, observe the situation, and report back at any time."
Rather than taking the initiative to attack, it is more important for them to keep an eye on this route that the enemy must take.
Even if no one came, at least we can judge that the enemy did not take the main road and ran all over the mountains and plains.
At this time, the encirclement and annihilation campaign against the enemy north of the confluence of the river also began.
This place is located on the reverse slope of our rocket launcher position, and the rocket launcher cannot launch artillery preparation here. However, the troops in this direction still used traditional mortars and 75mm guns to launch a sudden fire attack. Under the cover of artillery fire, the comrades skillfully penetrated into it.
The techniques and tactics are the same, using a large number of disposable rocket launchers to capture the points one by one.
However, this is not the main attack direction, and they have fewer disposable rocket launchers.
On this battlefield, our attack speed was also very fast. We broke through a bunker group consisting of 30 bunkers within 48 minutes. However, when we got to the end, we didn't have enough rocket launchers.
In fact, overall there are still some, but some specific attack points and attack directions have been exhausted.
Our comrades do not rely solely on equipment to fight. Even though the rocket launchers are gone, the grenades, explosive packs, blasting tubes, and flamethrowers are still useful, and they can charge and attack fiercely.
Wait for the comrades behind to deliver it? Can’t wait!
Next to an enemy bunker, a soldier looked at a grenade thrown by the enemy from a firing hole nearby, and quickly rolled over and went down into the ditch, barely avoiding the explosion of the grenade.
Looking at the firing hole that was still spewing flames, he angrily hammered the ground with his hand, then took out a grenade and looked at his comrades who were suppressed by fire in the rear, with a fierce look on his face.
He was about to throw it in and jump up, but suddenly stopped.
Hey, this shooting hole is so small, and it gets smaller as you go deeper...
Of course the bunker's firing holes are small. If they were made bigger, it would be more vulnerable to bullets.
The soldier tore off several plastic tapes on his chest and took out something from inside.
Bulletproof insert!
He pulled the pin of the grenade and quickly threw it into the shooting hole. He immediately blocked the small shooting hole with a bulletproof plate. He pressed the bulletproof plate in with both hands and stuck it in the middle of the shooting hole.
Along with the enemy's panicked shouts, with a "bang" sound, the soldier felt the bulletproof plate shake heavily, and his hands seemed to be broken.
The bunker stopped firing, and to ensure the effect, the soldier threw another grenade inside, picked up the bulletproof plate, turned around and ran towards his combat group.
"Sergeant, sergeant, I found a good idea!" The soldier's voice was extremely cheerful.
Learning, summarizing and improving in battle is our old tradition. After hearing his words, the squad leader thought about it.
"Okay! This is a good idea! But it's not safe enough. So, gather all the comrades' stun grenades and give them to the demolition man!"
"Stun grenade?" The demolition man was a little confused.
"Yes, even if the stun bomb is squeezed out from the edge, it will be much safer." The squad leader thought very carefully. Anyway, this thing can't kill people. Even if it can't withstand it and is thrown out by the enemy, it's not a big deal. According to the current assault progress and battle situation, even if our own people are knocked to the ground, we will definitely be the ones to clean up the battlefield after the war, and we can definitely save them.
"Hey, squad leader, you are really thoughtful. Come on, who has stun grenades? Give them all to me."
The soldier was covered in white stun bombs and set out on the journey again with the combat team.
So this combat group, which had already used up all their rocket launchers, explosive packs, and blasting tubes, relied on bulletproof plates to block the gaps, stun grenades to disable them, and grenades to finish off the enemies, and they managed to completely destroy all the remaining enemy bunkers within their range.
In this direction, some enemies have already started to run away.
Not only on the battlefield north of the broken bridge, but also on the main battlefield west of the broken bridge, enemies began to flee. Some of them ran along the hillside, and some ran along the road towards the broken bridge.
After more than two hours of fighting, the broken bridge was crowded with a large number of enemies and a few vehicles coming down from the north.
The reconnaissance squad that was ambushed on the mountain saw everything clearly. Looking at the one or two hundred enemies crowded at the bridge head and trying to find a way to repair the bridge, the reconnaissance squad leader picked up the walkie-talkie.
Fighter planes are precious, so there is no need to ask the headquarters for instructions. Just ask for firepower directly.
He knew that this was the reverse slope of the rocket artillery group and that the rocket artillery group could not reach it, but he had more than one kind of firepower at his disposal.
"Snow Sculpture, Snow Sculpture, how many bombs do you have?"
When the Attack-6 hovering in the air received his call, it was overjoyed. Hey, it can still be useful.
"There are also four 4-kilogram bombs, all of which are demolition bombs."
Explosive bombs do not have steel balls and are mainly used to blow up buildings.
"Enough, enough! Give me two more." The comrade of the reconnaissance squad was overjoyed. The air wave could also kill people, so it was not useless. "Understood, you shine the light and I'll drop the bomb!" The comrade on the Attack-6 was very happy. His mission today was to cooperate with this reconnaissance squad.
The crosshairs of the illuminator were pressed onto the dark crowd at the bridgehead.
A dirty trick always felt that something was wrong. When he turned his head to look at the cliff behind him, his eyes suddenly went dark.
It is a physiological blackness in front of the eyes. Although the laser cannot be seen, it is lethal when it directly hits the eyes.
He covered his eyes, rolled on the ground and screamed.
Everyone around gathered around him, and no one heard any gunshots nearby. What happened to this guy?
Just when there was a commotion at the bridgehead, with the sound of "Woo~~~", the god of death descended from the sky.
A 250kg explosive bomb plunged into the crowd, making a deafening noise. For a moment, smoke and dust rose up and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
A car parked near the bridge was lifted high up by the air wave and fell into the river.
At this time, on the mountain, the soldier in charge of illumination moved the crosshairs a little to the side. He knew that there would be another bomb soon. There was no one in this area, so there was no point in bombing here again.
He now understood that this bomb basically hits wherever it is pointed.
The second bomb fell on another group of people at the bridge head. From a distance through the telescope, one could even see a blood mist rising.
The reconnaissance squad leader pointed at three soldiers and said, "Go down and capture the prisoners! We'll keep an eye on them for you."
At this time, the remaining enemies were in a state of disarray after the explosion of two bombs. Although it seemed that there were still nearly a hundred of them, capturing three comrades was considered giving them face.
"Yes!" The three soldiers, who had been itching to fight for a long time, rushed down with three 61 assault rifles.
At this time, in the valley where the Western Front Brigade headquarters was located, our reinforced battalion's general offensive had already begun.
There was still no rocket launcher used, but the mortars and 75mm guns, which were obviously strengthened to have a firepower greater than that of a battalion, still dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
Shells whizzed down from the sky, exploding everywhere in this valley that was no more than 800 meters wide and two kilometers long. This time, our comrades no longer surrounded three sides and left one side open, but surrounded the valley from all directions with the strength of five companies.
Not only did the reinforced battalion detour here, but some comrades who broke through the enemy's front positions and rushed here also joined the encirclement and annihilation battle.
By noon, more than four hours after the general attack was launched, the valley was cleared and the enemy's Western Brigade headquarters and guard troops were completely wiped out. Due to the fierce firepower, not many prisoners were taken.
The troops began to clean up the battlefield and discovered a big problem.
Where is their commander? Where is the commander of the Western Front Brigade? Such a big brigadier general, but he is nowhere to be found alive or dead.
After the translator came up and interrogated the prisoners, we found out that this man was not good at other things, but he was very accurate in judging the situation. As early as that morning when we surrounded and annihilated the enemy's reinforced company on the high ground in the northern part of the valley, he had already ordered the documents to be burned and ran away with a few people!
No wonder there was enemy resistance on all fronts, but no organized resistance at all. It turned out that this guy ran away first, so there was no point in organizing it.
The reinforced battalion quickly reported the situation to the headquarters, and the headquarters quickly issued instructions.
"Leave the comrades who came to support from other positions to clean up the battlefield, and reinforce the battalion to pursue immediately! Expand the victory."
At this time, the enemy's Western Brigade had been completely defeated. Not only the brigade headquarters, but the entire front line was probably in a state of catching pigs all over the mountains and plains. The other troops were too busy and the organization was a bit scattered, so it was not as convenient as this reinforced battalion.
The comrades of the reinforced battalion asked for some ammunition, especially rocket launchers, recoilless gun shells and the like, from the comrades who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, of which there were still a lot left.
Without even having time to eat, the comrades tore open their dry rations and ate as they walked, quickly pursuing southward along the hilltops and river valleys.
The headquarters of the division to which this brigade belongs is located along the river valley, about 20 kilometers south of the confluence of the Broken Bridge.
If you were just walking, it might not take long to cover 20 kilometers, but if you were chasing someone on a plateau, fully armed, and carrying dozens of kilograms, it would take a long time.
"Squad leader, look, there are a few people over there."
During our multi-pronged pursuit, a sharp-eyed soldier saw a small group of enemies fleeing below.
The squad leader took a look and signaled a soldier: "Fire them first."
The cannons mentioned here are another kind of thing. Now they have a lot of things that can explode.
The soldier immediately raised his gun, but the muzzle was not pointed at the enemy, but at a higher place.
He took aim and pulled a trigger in front of the magazine.
With a "bang", a rifle-mounted grenade flew out.
The soldier's shooting skill was not... his artillery skill, nor... in short, his shooting was very accurate, and more than half of the 6 or 7 enemies who were still moving around fell down in an instant.
"Surrender your weapons and you won't be killed!" The soldiers' English was very average. Whether the enemy could understand them depended on their luck.
