Chapter 478: Fighting on a Rainy Night
Front-line Command.
Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping are holding a meeting.
The military map on the wall shows that the staff have already formulated a battle plan.
"According to reconnaissance, the enemy's 338th Division is stationed in this village to avoid the rain. Our goal is to severely damage the enemy's 338th Division, or even destroy it!" Li Fuguo held the baton and introduced the situation.
As the rain intensified, the division stationed in this village to avoid the rain.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of weather is naturally not suitable for fighting, because the road is muddy and the vision is also affected, not to mention that it is already evening and the sky has darkened.
But for the combined brigade, this is a rare opportunity.
Other troops are not suitable for fighting in this situation, but the light combined brigade is different. The light combined brigade is very suitable for fighting in this weather.
"In this battle, the light combined brigade will be the main offensive force, and the heavy combined brigade will be involved in the battle except for the main battle tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns." Li Fuguo's eyes were murderous.
"Commander-in-chief, there are currently thousands of people in this village. If a battle breaks out here, it is easy to accidentally injure the people." Chen Ping was a little worried.
Li Fuguo waved his hand, "I don't care about so many things. It's a rare opportunity. If the higher-ups hold me accountable, I will take all the responsibility!"
Back then, Li Fuguo was the head of the main regiment, leading the troops to make great achievements in the "Red Dragon Roar" operation. The regiment even won the honorary title of "Tiger Regiment". However, he ordered something that violated discipline, and he took the responsibility afterwards. Others were promoted and honored, but he left the army because of the violation of discipline.
Similarly, at this moment, in order to severely damage or even annihilate the enemy's 338th Division, Li Fuguo used this to let other cadres not have any ideological burden.
At this time, the chief of staff began to introduce the situation of the enemy's 338th Division.
According to its formation history, the enemy's 338th Division is a unit that has experienced the wars against France and the United States. It should be a unit with many military exploits, but on the contrary, the unit lacks the tempering of the war, and it has been mediocre since its formation.
However, the enemy's 338th Division is very arrogant, and has always regarded itself as an ace, and has entered our Banlan area for 6 kilometers. As a result, under the full-scale sniping of my border defense regiment and militia, they could not move forward a step. Later, under the counterattack of the 1st Regiment of the 148th Division of the 50th Army, the division lost a battalion and was severely damaged at the cost of more than 300 people in the north, and hastily withdrew from our territory and fled back.
In 1979, the "Red Dragon Roar", the 338th Division was hit hard again, but it did something that made people grit their teeth on the battlefield, that is, the 338th Division was the only one in the enemy army that dared to use chemical weapons.
After the replenishment over the years, the 338th Division has been restored to full strength again.
After the arrangement was completed, the two combined brigades started.
Even if it was raining and it was already night, the two combined brigades still set off.
The Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns did not participate in the battle, because the road at this time was no longer suitable for the two big guys to go out, especially if they had to go through a bridge, and the bridge could not support the Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to cross the bridge.
Unknowingly, the two combined brigades have formed an encirclement.
The self-propelled artillery had a minimum range of 5 kilometers, and some stopped at 10 kilometers, and then began to adjust the parameters.
All vehicles turned off the lights and waited quietly.
The soldiers rested and waited quietly for the battle to come.
In order to avoid disturbing the enemy, even the infantry fighting vehicles were kept away from the village courtyard.
At about 4:30, the soldiers were all awakened and began to eat canned beef silently to replenish their nutrition.
After eating this meal, they had to wait until noon or eliminate the enemy before they could eat.
Every soldier ate a can of beef.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Commanders at all levels looked at their watches, showing a solemn and serious look.
When the time came to 04:59, entering the final 60-second countdown, the commanders counted down silently.
When the pointer pointed to 5:00, at this most difficult moment for this person, the order was finally issued.
The first thing that started was a signal flare launched into the air, and the artillery that had adjusted the parameters took the lead in launching the attack.
The bombardment always starts first.
In order to completely wipe out the enemy, all the guns will use up a base number of shells.
Rockets flew towards the village with bright lights.
There were no civilian facilities or military facilities. At this time, they were all military facilities and targets.
So many guns fired at the same time, and the momentum was so deafening.
At the same time, 120 light tanks and all infantry fighting vehicles had already rushed towards the village from one road after another.
The Type 81 amphibious tank was directly walking in the river. Even if the water in the river was three or four meters deep, it would not affect the combat of the Type 81 amphibious tank.
Although the road was a little muddy, the light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were relatively light and could still be handled.
When the light tanks were two or three kilometers away from the village, they began to fire while moving forward.
The tanks attacked either tanks and armored vehicles or cars!
Although the main gun of the Type 81 light tank was only a 105mm gun, its power was not bad.
The Type 81 light tanks hunted high-value targets and created an overwhelming force, crushing the enemy and drowning them with a torrent of steel.
The sleeping enemy soldiers were suddenly bombarded and suddenly became a mess.
They didn't understand. They were obviously separated by 20 to 30 kilometers, and they were temporarily stationed here to avoid the rain. How did the other side find them? Their scouts outside did not find any traces of the other side.
But at this moment, there was no time to think too much.
Some commanders with better qualities began to organize to avoid the bombardment, and some commanders with weaker qualities directly took the lead in fleeing.
As for the soldiers, it was even more unbearable.
This unit was hit hard once in 1979 and once again in recent years. Although it rested and replenished its troops over the past year, the troops reached full strength, but the weapons and equipment were not full.
After all, the 338th Division was not an elite division, and Soviet-style equipment must be equipped first for the ace division and the elite division.
After the bombardment ended, the Type 81 light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles had arrived, constantly dispersing and dividing the enemy.
"Da Da Da~~" Heavy machine guns and light machine guns continued to spit out flames to harvest the enemy.
Relying on the strong mobility, in this plain area, the enemy army was divided into a dozen sections that could not take care of each other.
This plain area is densely covered with rivers, crisscrossing, and there is no strategic location to defend.
The enemy's 338th Division was completely unable to organize an effective resistance.
The steel torrent rolled, the rain on the ground was dyed red by the enemy's blood, and the air exuded the smell of blood and gunpowder from artillery fire.
The dawn did not bring the dawn of hope!
The enemy's 338th Division had been divided, surrounded, outflanked, and annihilated on the entire battlefield.
One company after another escorted prisoners, and the prisoners raised their hands high, dejected, and panicked, fearing that they would be shot directly.
But there were also companies that were chasing the fleeing remnants of the army, trying to truly annihilate the 338th Division and add another thick ink to the history of the army.
