Special Years

Chapter 1049: 1st contact battle

Lin Sheng squatted down subconsciously and hid himself in the grass.

"Fuck!"

He immediately touched his clothes, and then touched the helmet on his head.

The smoking canister did not detonate.

Didn't get hit.

Niu Shilin leaned over, carefully climbed to the top of the slope, separated a little gap from the grass, and looked in the direction of the gunshots.

The bamboo forest below was filled with blue smoke.

In this small-scale confrontation, the reconnaissance battalion was organized as a blue party. After being hit, the smoking can on the head would emit blue smoke.

"Our company was attacked!"

Niu Shilin immediately took out the reconnaissance telescope and began to search in the direction opposite the bamboo forest. Soon, six amphibious vehicles were parked on the sand more than 100 meters away from the bamboo forest. straf.

Soldiers climbed out from the roof of the amphibious chariot and quickly dispersed into an offensive formation, flanking the bamboo forest in two groups.

Playing foot combat with coordinated tactics, that is what the armored infantry battalion is good at.

There are at least two platoons of troops here.

It seems that the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment made a detailed study of the topography of Shiratori Island. Once they landed on the island, they first dispatched troops to control the water source and several important food sources.

There is almost no fresh water on Shiratori Island, and there is also the kind of excessive fresh water that cannot be drunk but can only be bathed.

As the leader of a battalion, Zheng Shengli is certainly not a fool.

With enough information on military maps and intelligence gathering, he knew what was most important on the island.

For example where is the easiest access to water.

Where food is easiest to get.

Where is the best place to retreat to the outlying islands.

He made the key points one by one.

After landing on the island, one of the armored infantry companies used high mobility to control the coastline.

The machine gun company quickly found a commanding height near the coastline, established a fixed firepower point, controlled all the beaches within the line of sight, and cooperated with the outfitted company patrolling along the route around the island. As long as it found that a scout was trying to escape into the sea, it would immediately carry out fire interception, None of them can be put into the sea.

In addition, Zheng Shengli also developed a set of supporting play styles that echo each other.

Because there are mountains in the center line of Shiratori Island, and the scouts are good at jungle operations, the armored infantry company has an absolute advantage on the flat ground, but the armored vehicles cannot drive into the mountains. Although the 12.7 large-caliber high-level machine gun on the roof has a great firepower advantage, But it can only be a direct firearm. Once the scouts enter the mountains to carry out jungle warfare, it is extremely risky for their own infantry to encircle and suppress Jinshan alone.

You must know that the Butei Company brought out by the solemn, in the 4th Division, has always been of extremely high quality of individual soldiers, and is famous for being able to compete with ten.

No one doubted the individual combat capability of the 1st Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion, just as no one doubted the solemn individual combat capability.

Zheng Shengli is not a reckless officer.

When it comes to fighting, you have to make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses.

What are the advantages of armored infantry facing scouts?

It is definitely not a single soldier combat ability, but a jungle combat ability.

The biggest advantage is firepower, numbers, infantry tactical use and coordination of various arms.

An infantry battalion has not only an armored infantry company, but also a machine gun company and an artillery company.

Although it is not a cannon, the 60 small cannons in the infantry company, the 12.7 anti-aircraft machine guns in the machine gun company, and the recoilless guns and 82 mortars in the artillery company are combined to kill those who only have 95 assault rifles, light machine guns and The scout with the 85/88 sniper rifle is simply not too easy.

Not to mention that those light weapons can't penetrate their amphibious armored infantry fighting vehicles, even if they can penetrate them, at least compared with the 12.7MM high-level machine gun on the roof, they are also inherently insufficient in range.

What's more, Zheng Shengli knew the situation of Shiratori Island very well.

The island is only 56 ordinary kilometers, and the horizontal and vertical distances are within the coverage of 82 mortars.

The three platoons of the mortar company were deployed at three different points. As long as each company encountered resistance during the clearing and suppression process, the coordinates were sent to the battalion headquarters by radio, and the battalion headquarters would send instructions to the artillery company. Soon the mortar of artillery fire can cover the area.

Although not real artillery shells were fired, as long as the order was sent, scouts within the range of artillery fire would be judged "killed".

This plan seems to be flawless.

Sure enough, after the scouts in the bamboo forest were discovered, they were no match for the two armored infantry platoons at all.

The large-caliber machine guns on the six armored vehicles instantly covered the entire bamboo forest.

The scouts inside started to fight back, but due to the fact that their gun firing parameters could not penetrate the armored vehicles at all, and they could not hit the machine gunners behind the baffle, they could only watch their men being harvested.

Soon, the scouts in the bamboo forest began to send out the signal to retreat after "killed" several people.

When the infantry saw that the scouts were retreating into the mountains, they stopped immediately and were not in a hurry to pursue them.

The platoon leader who organized the attack ordered the machine gunners on the armored vehicle to continue suppressing firepower, using overshooting to block the scouts' retreat, while hiding in the ditch beside the woods to send artillery firing coordinates to the battalion headquarters.

For a time, two scouts who tried to rush into the mountain were immediately hit by machine guns and smoked, took off their helmets and smashed them on the ground.

What a fool!

The scout, who claimed to be one to ten, was beaten to pieces by two platoons as soon as they made contact.

"Diao Ke, Wen Haonan, and Chen Yang, you two go to the right flank and are responsible for observing and guarding. Deputy, you bring the machine gunner and three soldiers to suppress the infantry outside the Zhulin Tugou, attract their attention, and relieve the brothers in the bamboo forest. Under their pressure, Cai Jing, immediately turned on the radio to contact the other squads and told them that there were two platoons of enemy troops out of Bamboo Forest, and told them not to come."

Niu Shilin was a non-commissioned officer after all, and he had more experience than the other privates and first-class soldiers in the squad.

A series of orders immediately reached the ears of everyone in the class.

Now, I am on the hillside, although I don't have the advantage in firepower, but I have the advantage in terms of terrain and suddenness.

At present, the people in the platoon have not noticed that another reconnaissance detachment has appeared on the hillside~lightnovelpub.net~ Their attention is all on the enemy of the bamboo forest.

bah—

Just as the platoon leader of the costume platoon was sending coordinates in the ditch, suddenly, a blue smoke rose from his head.

Communication is interrupted!

The platoon leader is dead!

"There are snipers!"

Another platoon leader immediately lay in the ditch.

"The 2nd platoon leader, the 1st platoon leader is honored to be shot!"

Soldiers are shouting.

"From now on, the 2nd platoon will be in charge of the main attack, and I will take over the command position!" The 2nd platoon growled: "Platoon sniper, immediately find the position of the local sniper, and the 4th and 5th cars will cooperate to kill him!"

As he spoke, he climbed up towards the other side of the ditch.

Now he must crawl to the radio station as soon as possible and call for fire support as soon as possible.

Those scout snipers are no joke.

For the snipers of the reconnaissance battalion, the leader of the 2nd platoon knows.

I heard that last time, their new acting deputy company commander, Zhuang Yan, was able to hit the target at a distance of 1,300 meters.

That's the record of Division 4.

No!

Even the record of the whole military district.

At least I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone who can use an 85 sniper to hit an opponent at a distance of 1300 meters.

This is evident.

Strong generals have no weak soldiers.

Those scouts, compared to the marksmanship is very good.

Just now, the platoon leader must have not paid attention to hiding ~lightnovelpub.net~ to cover himself up, and he was blown up.
