Chapter 762 Bright Spear and Dark Arrow (Chapter Two in One)(1/2)
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, and congratulations to all members of the Zhongzhou Team, the second phase of this system mission has been officially released.
Please note that the specific requirements and needs of the tasks at this stage are as follows.
First, before 4 o'clock in the afternoon on November 28, 1950, the hilltop position on the Sansuoli side must be firmly controlled by our side.
If more than 50% of the position is lost, the Zhongzhou team's mission will be considered failed.
Secondly, if the mission deadline set by the system is reached and less than 20 Zhongzhou Team survivors survive, the second phase of the Zhongzhou Team mission will be considered a failure.
The penalty for failure of a specific task is for the system to randomly erase 5 people.
Third, during this phase of the mission, all members of the Central Continent team are not restricted to specific areas of activity.
Final note! In this non-team battle mission, all personnel who were wiped out by the system due to mission failure can be resurrected after returning to the time and space channel.
Finally, I wish Commander Hu Biao and everyone in the Zhongzhou team a successful start and a prosperous military fortune~"
The above is a series of contents about the second phase of the system's mission that the system sounded in the heads of a group of people from the Central Continent Team.
After hearing the above content, the hearts of everyone in the Zhongzhou Team suddenly clicked.
As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor, Hu Biao and others have experienced many system tasks, and they can analyze many problems just from the requirements of such a system task.
For example, according to the information, Hu Biao and the others knew that.
In this battle at Sansuoli, the opponent they need is the 5th Cavalry Regiment of the General Soldier; this unit belongs to the Ninth Army of the General Soldier, the famous 1st Cavalry Division.
Although there is a cavalry prefix hanging on the front, it is actually a mechanized heavy infantry regiment.
Moreover, for the current Volunteer Army soldiers who are almost in a state of fried noodles and rifles, this 5th Cavalry Regiment is a powerful unit that they cannot imagine in terms of firepower.
Specifically, the 5th Cavalry Regiment has a total of three infantry battalions, and the infantry battalion has already completed all mechanized transportation.
A towed artillery battalion, a self-propelled howitzer battalion, plus two tank platoons under its own direct jurisdiction, as well as various regiment-affiliated departments.
In addition, on the basis of the above, Colonel Clumbotz of the 5th Cavalry Regiment still felt that it was not enough.
He also used his personal connections to recruit a tank battalion from the First Cavalry Division to join them.
Therefore, in this blocking battle in the third institute, the number of soldiers on the side was not very large, that is, around 2,500.
But not counting the air support that can be called at any time, just in terms of ground firepower, their artillery fire configuration is more powerful than that of the 38th Army.
The reason is simple. The towed artillery pieces of the 38th Army simply cannot be transported under the crazy air blockade firepower of the soldiers and air forces.
On the Volunteer Army side, the blocking force blocked in the third station was the 113th Division.
But regardless of the number, the blocking force is the size of a division.
But first of all, in terms of firepower, they only have some light infantry configuration at most. Except for a small number of small-caliber mortars, there is no artillery at all.
Secondly, the sniper troops of the 113th Division all followed Hu Biao's mountain road and came to Sansuoli one after another.
Hu Biao's 338th Regiment, as the forward force of the division, is expected to arrive at Sansuoli in about two hours.
As for the other subsequent troops, Hu Biao didn't know when they would come.
But now that he has passed the mission issued by the system, Hu Biao understands that the large force should not arrive here until around 4 p.m.
This is why the system released a mission for the Zhongzhou team to persist until 4 p.m.
Because the suspense of this battle lies in when the main force of the 113th Division will arrive.
So the real situation Hu Biao and the others faced was that they needed to use the size of a light infantry regiment to withstand the opponent's indiscriminate bombing for several hours...
Regarding the defensive terrain of Sanzongli, it is probably like this.
Next to those low buildings, there is a small hill, which can be regarded as the defender's No. 1 position; Hu Biao did not figure out the specific code name of this hill on the map of the Volunteer Army for a while.
.
Anyway, from his point of view, the top of the mountain is full of old pine trees. The green pine needles are now in a state of rime, and the scenery looks quite good.
Right at the foot of the mountain is a dirt road about 5 meters wide.
At the other end of the dirt road is a stone mountain with steep stone walls, where is the No. 2 position.
Because of issues such as height, slope, and mountaintop area, the company only placed one platoon on top, and could not put down more defensive troops.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we hold the No. 1 position on the top of the mountain, we can completely block all the illusions of the soldiers passing through.
If they didn't want to be beaten into pieces by the direct fire from the hilltop, the soldiers had no choice but to storm the position.
With this understanding and a box of 12.7 mm caliber bullets on his shoulder, Hu Biao arrived at the hilltop position while jogging.
Then you can find that at this point, the battle is completely over.
That was the unit that had just appeared, just a reconnaissance platoon of the 5th Cavalry Regiment; they drove three jeeps and two cars and came over in such a big way.
The soldiers of the company who originally stood here waited until they reached the foot of the mountain before all light and heavy firepower started firing at the same time.
In an instant, the first jeep and the last car were beaten and scrapped on the spot.
The unlucky ones in the middle were left with nowhere to go.
At first, they thought of jumping out of the car, lying down behind some natural bunkers on the roadside, and preparing to fight back on their positions.
However, under the crossfire between positions No. 1 and No. 2, he was killed on the spot in the blink of an eye.
Finally, when Hu Biao and others rushed to the No. 1 position on the top of the hill in an anxious mood, the few remaining soldiers threw away their weapons and raised their hands high.
After all, for soldiers, there is no saying or habit that they would rather die than surrender.
It can be said that the battle in front of us was quite clean and tidy; unfortunately, there was no joy on everyone's faces.
Most of the people present are veterans and have rich non-combat experience.
So naturally they knew in their hearts that what they had defeated now was just a small frontline unit of the opponent exploring the way, which was really not a result worth being proud of.
On the contrary, this means that the large army of soldiers is about to arrive.
Therefore, after Hu Biao and the others were in the reconnaissance camp, Camp Commander Chen made a series of arrangements after thinking about it for a while:
"The first company stayed to continue building fortifications. The fourth company took the time to go down and clean the battlefield. After cleaning the battlefield, the comrades of the fourth company took the time to rest for two hours."
As soon as he heard the arrangement of "Two hours of rest", Hu Biao cried excitedly on the spot; everyone else in the team also became extremely excited.
Good guy! I finally took a break and slept for a while.
Even after hearing such a sentence, they didn't care about anything, fell directly to the ground and fell asleep in darkness.
But soon after, Hu Biao came to his senses: Damn it! Go to sleep.
Once the fighting started, the soldiers would see a large group of planes flying in the sky, artillery blasting in the distance, and tanks and infantry charging nearby.
Facing such a brutal batch of firepower, the only way they could hope to reduce casualties was to build reverse slopes, anti-blast holes and other fortifications.
The previous Goryeo puppet troops on Position 1 used some sandbags to set up some firepower points, and even the trenches they dug were shallow.
Damn it! Let’s talk about a more vivid metaphor.
If a person lies down in it with a slightly larger posture, his buttocks will be exposed, and there is a risk of being shot.
So what Hu Biao and the others are facing now is not only to build some anti-slope fortifications, but also to rework and strengthen the fortifications in front of the No. 1 position.
After thinking of the above, Hu Biao endured the huge desire in his heart to sleep for two hours and began to ask for help from Camp Commander Chen:
"Comrade Battalion Commander, I have some suggestions.
That was me and Zhang Quansheng of the 112th Division. It is said that the young platoon leader was trained by the soldiers and learned some fortification construction methods to deal with the strong firepower of the soldiers.
Why don't we, the third platoon, stop sleeping and seize the time to build the fortifications?"
"112th Division? Which young platoon leader Zhang Quansheng?" After hearing this, Battalion Commander Chen immediately began to think.
Fortunately, soon after, Battalion Commander Chen seemed to remember who the mission Hu Biao mentioned was, and Zhang Quansheng, now in the 38th Army, seemed to be a big celebrity.
Soon after, Battalion Commander Chen said with an expression of sudden realization:
"Oh! You are talking about Zhang Quansheng, the child soldier who came over from the expeditionary force and was assigned to the 112th Division, right?
Each of these child soldiers is capable of both civil and military skills, but they are precious treasures in the hands of the commanders of each unit.
But speaking of which, these child soldiers do have some skills; then you should work hard and wait for the rest of the 1st and 4th companies to build the defenses on the position before resting."
In this way, during the conversation with Battalion Commander Chen, Hu Biao finally finalized the tasks for everyone in the Zhongzhou team in the future.
Although all the members of the Central Continent team were cursing, they all understood the priority of the matter.
Even if I feel strongly sleepy again, I still slap myself in the face with "Papa~" to refresh myself.
Without Hu Biao's arrangements, he knew that based on some aspects that he was good at, he started to work separately on the battlefield...
Thanks to the puppet troops in South Korea. Although their combat effectiveness is somewhat inferior, they often let go as soon as they hear the sound of gunshots, which makes it more difficult for the volunteers to capture prisoners.
But they actually left quite a lot of engineering shovels and pickaxes in the position.
Let Hu Biao and others have tools at their disposal when building fortifications, so they won't have to use their hands to pull.
However, soon after, Hu Biao and the others found out why those Goryeo puppet troops had built the fortifications at Position 1 into a ghostly shape.
There was a crisp sound of "ding dong~" as Qingtian dug into the ground with a pickaxe, and a string of sparks came out.
I feel that even if I have the blood of a junior dwarf, I have a specially strengthened arm.
To be continued...
