Chapter 1061: 1062 Leping Night Battle
Chapter 1061 Chapter 1062 Leping Night Battle
In Leping Village, at the headquarters of the infantry battalion deployed by the Mirage Kingdom, the goblin battalion commander was waiting in fear for his orders.
He heard that the enemy's paratroopers had landed. He didn't know how many there were on the other side, nor how far away they were from him.
Two hours ago, a telegram was sent to him from above, saying that a reinforcement of about 1,000 troops would arrive at his place. However, after waiting for such a long time, he did not see a single person.
Sitting here, he didn't know what the fighting situation was outside, and he didn't dare to send people out to check if there were any enemy activities around him in the middle of the night.
Just kidding, he only has a total of more than 470 soldiers in hand. He has to divide them into four directions to guard the entire village. He can only place about 2 platoons of troops on one side of the position.
If he still sends people out to patrol under such a tight situation, if he suffers losses, will he still guard Leping Village?
In fact, he has always believed that his boss's deployment of only one battalion of troops here in Leping Village is a sign of mental retardation: it is not that he is so wise and divine, but he simply feels that more troops should be deployed where he is. Soldier, it's just safer.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that his idea is simply impossible: there will be no commander who would disperse his troops to various places in advance for so-called defense.
Because it takes time to assemble the troops after they are deployed, which will lead to a reduction in the response speed of the troops on the entire defense line. This is a result that every commander does not want to see.
"What time is it?" I don't know how many times, the goblin battalion commander looked at the deputy battalion commander beside him and asked nervously.
"It's four o'clock..." The deputy battalion commander looked at his pocket watch and gave a fairly accurate answer. In the northern hemisphere, it doesn’t get bright very early in January, and it’s definitely still dark from 4 to 5 o’clock.
Actually, it won’t be very bright before seven o’clock, but after half past six, you can more or less see the surrounding scene clearly.
"Cheer up the soldiers! Reinforcements will arrive in two hours." The goblin battalion commander didn't know why, so he cheered up his men first.
In fact, no one is attacking now, so what he said may be meaningless at all. But he still said it, and he said it seriously.
I don’t know if it was because his earnest expectation really moved God, but as soon as he finished speaking, a series of explosions came from the entrance of the village.
"What's going on?" The explosion frightened the goblin battalion commander and he almost crawled under the table. He asked nervously, as if the people in the room might know something that he didn't know.
"Boom!" At this moment, a shell fell into the yard outside the house where he was. The huge explosion blew away the windows of the room, and the dust rolled everywhere, scaring the officers of the battalion headquarters and running away.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A soldier shouted loudly, but his shout was mixed with the continuous gunshots, which seemed a little weak.
Now all fools know that the enemy is coming, but other than that they really don’t know anything. They did not know the direction of the enemy's attack, nor did they know where the enemy had hit.
"Thud, tut, tut!" A series of gunshots struck, and the goblin soldiers who were running on the streets of the village were shot and fell to the ground. Followed closely by a group of paratroopers from the Tang Empire, there was a man carrying an infrared searchlight device. Led by night fighting soldiers with rifles, they passed through the streets and broke into the goblin camp.
"Who?" A goblin guard saw these uninvited guests. He asked and was shot through the chest by a bullet.
Other guards were panicked and quickly fired back, and a scuffle broke out in the yard of the battalion headquarters. The guards fell one after another, and a Tang Empire paratrooper was also hit by a stray bullet and fell from the wall.
"There are enemies!" It was obvious that the yard could no longer be defended. A goblin guard broke into the battalion headquarters and shouted to the people inside: "Retreat quickly!"
“What?” The goblin battalion commander, who had just come back to his senses, exclaimed in disbelief: He really didn’t expect that the enemy was already outside his door.
“Thud, tug, tug, tug!” At this time, the last goblin guard in the courtyard fell in a series of gunshots. Seven or eight Tang Empire paratroopers swarmed in and rushed into the courtyard that had been temporarily requisitioned as a headquarters.
“Bah!” The goblin battalion commander was tough. He pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired a shot at the door, forcing back the paratroopers who were about to rush in.
"Hold on! Our people will be here soon!" The goblin battalion commander found a table as a cover and shouted loudly, raising his pistol.
Beside him, the deputy battalion commander and several officers all pulled out their pistols, shouting that they would fight to the end with the Tang Dynasty paratroopers outside the house.
The next second, a grenade rolled in from the door, and the goblin officers who saw it were frightened out of their wits for a moment.
They fled in all directions, but could not find a bunker for a while. As a result, the grenade exploded, knocking everyone in the room away instantly.
Before the smoke had time to dissipate, the paratroopers rushed into the house. They started to shoot again at the grunting goblins on the ground, and took care of all the wounded soldiers who were still struggling. "Safe!" The Tang paratrooper shot twice at the last goblin officer whose face was covered in blood to confirm that he was not alive. He raised his rifle and shouted to his companions.
This is a tactic they have already mastered: two shots to the chest and one to the head. The gods shook their heads after seeing this. If you still want to be safer, eight shots for the body and five shots for the head...
In short, the textbook says that there are no carbon-based organisms that cannot be dealt with with one magazine. If there is, then change the magazine and continue...
Xiang Ziyu hurried forward in the trench at the entrance of the village. His troops had already cleared two lines of defense. He wanted to clear the remaining two lines of defense before the enemy could react.
These mirage troops obviously have little combat experience. The opponent has not deployed machine gun positions at the commanding heights in the village, nor is it ready to launch illumination bombs.
In fact, they never thought that the paratroopers of the Tang Empire would arrive tonight. The goblins had been focusing on defense against the landing troops of the Tang Empire.
During the years of war with the Great China Empire, the paratroopers of the Tang Empire never participated in the war, which made many people forget the illustrious reputation of the Tang Empire's paratroopers.
What's more, the world's most popular DC-3 transport aircraft, the Type 47 transport aircraft, has no way to take off from the Tang Empire and fly to the Mirage Kingdom to airdrop paratroopers, so the Mirage Kingdom has never paid attention to paratrooper defense.
Another reason is that the Mirage Kingdom has always believed that their Zero fighter jets can defend their own airspace, so they really did not expect that the first wave of attacks from the Tang Empire would be launched from the sky.
The entire Leping Village's peripheral defense line is facing the outside. No one can imagine that the attack will come from the flanks or from behind.
The goblins who were attacked even kept cursing, shouting that they were their own people, and asking people from inside the village not to shoot.
It's a pity that their explanation can only attract more bullets. The Tang Empire's rifle and grenade attacks are quite accurate. When paired with special forces equipped with night vision goggles, clearing the battlefield is a piece of cake.
"Stop fighting! We are our own people! We are our own people!" When Xiang Ziyu continued to attack the next trench, the goblins inside still couldn't figure out the situation. They waved to Xiang Ziyu, and when they saw each other's height clearly, they realized that it was really the enemy who had come out of the village.
"It's the Tang people! It's the Tang people! Damn it!" The goblin who was the first to see the Tang Army's paratroopers was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head, but his comrades beside him were not so lucky. The bullets swept over and penetrated their heads.
"They are already close! Grenade! Throw the grenade!" The goblin company commander who retracted his head nervously reminded his soldiers.
Just when these goblin soldiers took out the grenades from their waists, the grenades thrown by the Tang Empire paratroopers had already rolled into the trench and fell at their feet.
“Boom!” Along with the explosion of several grenades, the goblins in the trench lay scattered on the ground, and there was no sound.
"Company Commander! It's all done!" A young paratrooper jumped into the trench and shouted excitedly to Xiang Ziyu.
He was excitedly preparing to move forward, when the landmine under his feet exploded and he was thrown away.
"Damn! Damn it!" Xiang Ziyu was also thrown to the ground by the explosion. When he got up, there was only a buzzing in his ears.
He shook his head and struggled to stand up. Looking down, he saw the body under his hand that was missing a leg.
"Don't go down! There are booby traps! These bastards!" Xiang Ziyu cursed in distress, and then reminded others: "There are mines! Be careful! There are mines! Watch your step! Damn it!"
“How dare these **** use landmines?” A soldier cursed angrily. The scariest thing about landmines is that they can cast a psychological shadow on everyone on the battlefield.
"Check if there are any wounded! Someone here needs a medic!" Xiang Ziyu turned around and shouted. He wasn't sure if the soldier was dead, and he didn't even know if he was injured.
He touched his body, but did not touch any wet areas. Under the moonlight, he did not see anything black on his palms, and he did not feel any pain in his body.
The medical soldiers ran over and helped Xiang Ziyu check whether there were any holes in Xiang Ziyu's body that were spurting blood, regardless of the fact that the battle was not over yet.
The gunfire was still intensive, and another platoon had already begun to exterminate the remaining Mirage soldiers in the village. There were shouts and shouts everywhere, and soon a fire broke out in the village. It was set by the Mirage people themselves, and they set their houses on fire. Burn all the civilians inside and themselves... to death.
