Chapter 876 My fate is up to me!
Blow up the empty bunkers left by surrendered enemies to prevent them from taking risks and using them again.

Once the empty bunker is blown up, the enemy will lose their last bit of resistance and stay in the circle obediently.

After the war, events such as "drawing a line on the ground to make a prison" and "three people make a tiger" who destroyed the enemy's artillery unit became things that must be mentioned every time this war was introduced. They are forever circulated in this encyclopedia and that encyclopedia, and can be regarded as new idioms.

At a little before four in the afternoon, at the forward command post less than ten kilometers behind the front line, several commanders were looking at the progress of the front on the map.

"It's very fast. In more than three hours, we have crushed the enemy all the way and compressed them into a piece of mountain land west of the town. That is also their helicopter airport and the last group of fortresses."

This is because we deliberately surrounded the town on three sides and left one side open, using the terrain and troops to encircle and approach the enemy from the east, north and south, forcing the enemy out of the town and quickly transferring the battlefield to the west of the town. Once there, we can move more freely.

"The enemy in the town relied on fortifications and put up a bit of resistance when we were cautious. It took us some time, but it didn't cause any trouble. Under the precise attack of close-range firepower, they quickly collapsed."

"Yes, very good. How are the enemy forces killed and casualties now?"

"According to the reports so far, less than 20 people have been killed, but the statistics are probably incomplete and the injured have not yet been counted."

The battle has not yet ended, so there is naturally no accurate number, but this number still makes the commander happy.

"Still so little? Great!"

"Well, the commander of the Blade Battalion suggested releasing some enemies back here, and the effect was very good. The enemies surrendered much more quickly than when we annihilated the Western Brigade. Many enemies surrendered without much exchange of fire."

"Hahaha, not only is he good at fighting, he's also good at political work. How about annihilating the enemy?"

In the desperate situation, morale was low, and with the positive and negative examples of those who resisted and died and those who surrendered and survived, the enemy's will to resist was weaker than when the Western Front Brigade was annihilated.

"More than 1400 people were killed, wounded or captured. Some of them crossed the river and escaped as soon as the battle started."

"They have boats?" The commander raised his eyebrows.

"There were small boats, but few of them could escape. Some of them swam over by themselves." The comrade who reported the incident laughed.

It is true that not many people can escape by boat. First, the boat is small and slow. Second, after some boats reach the north bank, no one will go back to the south bank.

"Wow, what great physical strength!" The commander made a joke about the enemy. You know what, the physical strength is really good!

"But this time we captured more prisoners than we killed or wounded, about 800 people. Some of the casualties were the result of fire preparation. We killed more than 400 enemies and wounded less than 200."

"Huh? How come it's the other way around? They resist so resolutely?" Generally speaking, there will be more wounded than dead, and those who resist the enemy resolutely will suffer more deaths.

"Well, the firepower is too strong." There is nothing that can be done about it. You can't hold back when preparing the firepower. You have to use whatever is powerful to capture the point.

"Well, that's good. Now we have forced them out of the town. They don't have any artillery units, and our encirclement forces are not in place."

"We have already set up our encirclement. We have surrounded them from the east, north, and west, and there is a river valley to the south. In addition, the comrades from the two rocket artillery battalions dismantled their artillery pieces after completing their firepower preparation at 12 o'clock. They carried the parts and mortars and basically kept up with the infantry comrades' charge. They are now redeployed west of the enemy's encircled area."

The commander was stunned when he heard this. Self-propelled artillery, right? I heard that they were working on it, but I didn't expect that the comrades had realized it first.

"That's great. Notify the troops to launch the general attack at 4 pm."

At this time in the enemy position, the enemy division commander who was dragged here by the fleeing soldiers was not panicked at all, because there was a helicopter here!
Although his superior had already quickly fled to the south bank of the river by helicopter, he was still generous enough to send the helicopter back so that he could escape.

At this time, he was ordering his deputy: "We must not let Dongda add another major general to his record! You will command the next counterattack."

The news that Zang San's Shannan West Line Brigade was completely destroyed and even the brigade commander, Brigadier General, was killed had already been transmitted here yesterday via a telegram from New Delhi.

Well, we can’t add another major general to our record, so this major general must run away.

Who is the major general? It is him. I swear to God, I am not running away because I am afraid of the battle, but for the sake of the face of all the Sindhu people!

His deputy looked at him bitterly. If I accept this order, then I, a brigadier general, deserve to be arrested? It seems that anything is worthless once it happens for the first time. Since a brigadier general has died, Zang San doesn't care about another one dying.

He turned around and got on the plane. The helicopter made a special "jiejie" rotor sound and took off from the airport next to the river valley.

On the mountain more than one kilometer west of the airport, several of our soldiers who had already rushed here were looking at the helicopter in the sky with shining eyes.

Finally it has found a use, and what's inside must be a big one!
These soldiers are from the air defense team. They are holding the few Changying-62 portable air defense missiles in the battalion. This is our brigade headquarters on the Western Front. After discovering the helicopter, we realized that the enemy might have air power and urgently replenished it. We set up anti-aircraft artillery positions around the battlefield where we annihilated the Western Front Brigade, just a few kilometers north of the confluence of the big river.

However, it was impossible for the anti-aircraft guns to arrive quickly, so these temporarily reinforced portable air defense missiles became the only effective air defense means in their hands.

The anti-aircraft machine guns of the firepower platoons of each battalion are good at hitting people, but they are very ineffective at shooting down airplanes.

But these days, San'er's air power here is worse than ours! Happiness is all about comparison.

So these comrades followed their comrades on a one-day tour of the battlefield.

I never expected that, after closing for three years, you can make enough money to last for three years after opening.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The enemy plane is rising and must be heading towards the south bank. With the range of the Changying-62 and the distance from here to the enemy plane, the attack window can be said to be fleeting.

The missile operator had no time to answer him. He quickly set up the sight, powered on the missile, turned on the cooling, and put up the IFF sight. The whole set of actions was completed in one go.

He half-knelt on the ground, put the enemy plane in the sight, and pressed the tracking button.

Against the backdrop of the high-altitude and cold mountainous areas at the end of October, the huge heat source of the helicopter engine was extremely conspicuous, and soon the missile sight made a "beep, beep" sound.

"Locked!" The two comrades next to him were excited and happy, but they did not say anything for fear of affecting the shooter's operation.

The shooter suppressed his excitement, held his breath and pressed the launch button.

"Swoosh~~~~" The missile flew out of the launch tube, leaving a long trail of white smoke and flew towards the enemy helicopter slightly below.

The shooter put down the launch tube and picked up another one. While doing all the preparations except connecting the power supply and cooling, he and his comrades looked at the enemy planes in the canyon with a little nervousness. This was also his first time to shoot down an airplane in actual combat.

The missile trailed white smoke, turned in the air, and quickly approached the enemy plane.

On the helicopter, the enemy division commander, who was rejoicing at his escape, was looking excitedly at the other side of the river which was getting closer and closer.

"Master Dong, just wait, I will definitely fight back with my troops!" He was just getting angry when he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that something with white smoke was approaching rapidly from his right side.

He didn't even think of the word "missile" and had no idea what that was when he heard a loud bang exploding outside the plane.

"Hit it!" Countless voices shouted on both sides of the river, with all kinds of emotions, some from our side and some from the enemy.

The helicopter's tail boom was blown off immediately, and a large amount of warhead fragments shot into the engine and cabin.

All of a sudden, various alarms sounded in the cockpit and crew compartment of the aircraft. The helicopter lost its tail wing, and under the action of the rotor's rotating torque, the fuselage spun and fell downward with a cloud of smoke.

The enemy's helicopter pilots frantically performed all the operations they could think of, but to no avail. The plane circled and fell steadily into the river. The two helicopter pilots looked at the approaching river in despair and covered their helmets.

Compared with the two pilots, their passengers did not suffer so much. The enemy major general, who was unwilling to be captured, was killed by shrapnel in the explosion of the missile and lay in the crew cabin with his orderly.

In the enemy's last position, the brigadier general who had just been appointed as the supreme commander of the remaining enemy forces stared at the helicopter falling from the sky in amazement, and was glad that he did not force his way on board.

Even if he died one minute later, it would be much better than the person on the plane!
What? Not dead? Don't be ridiculous. How can we, Zang Saner, not know the consequences of crashing a plane?
——No one knows more about crashing planes than me!
Thinking of this, he suddenly reacted.

"Die? Why should I die? I am the supreme commander now!"

He turned around and shouted to his orderly, "Quick, quick, find a piece of white cloth and raise the white flag!"

I control my own life!
As long as I surrender fast enough, Death won't be able to catch up with me!
Just as he shouted this, the hands on his watch had already pointed to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Their watches are not as accurate as our electronic watches, but that doesn't affect the overall situation.

In reality, their watches should be a bit fast.

While his orderly was still frantically searching for the white flag, amid the brigadier general's angry rebuke, countless rockets once again took off from the west side of their last position, which was less than two kilometers long and wide, and rushed towards the enemy with wind and thunder.
