Chapter 1200: Caught in Trouble (Second update, please subscribe)
With the arrival of the new year, Southeast Asia seems to be becoming more lively.
The no-fly zone in Shan State still strictly enforces the ban, and Nanyang fighter jets patrol there. In Saigon, guerrilla activity became increasingly rampant and signs of U.S. military involvement became increasingly apparent, while at the same time Hanoi's reinforcements to the south were increasing. Assistance is being provided to the south through the dense tropical rainforest of Laos. A large number of northern officers, soldiers and supplies are transported to the south through the rainforest trails.
The dense tropical rainforest has become their natural barrier,
In the early morning of January 3rd.
At the border of Siam, dozens of H2 general-purpose helicopters roared across the Mekong River and entered the skies over Laos. The officers and soldiers on the helicopters stared at the dense rainforest with extremely solemn expressions. They once again crossed the Mekong River and performed missions in other countries. , the rainforest here is filled with guerrillas.
At this time, Lu Peng was huddled in a narrow gap between the seats of the two crew members, with the knees of his two long legs almost touching his shoulders. In front of him, the sides of the cabin of the "H2" helicopter were crowded with his teammates, twelve air troopers wearing rainforest camouflage and bulletproof tactical vests.
He knew these faces so well, they were like brothers. Lu Peng has five years of military service. At the age of 24, he holds the rank of Army Staff Sergeant. He has lived and trained with some veterans in the team for many years, and even passed basic training, parachute skills school and air flight training with some of them. Cavalry school training.
They were holding AR15 assault rifles in their hands, and everyone was staring ahead silently. The planes lined up in a tight formation and began to bank and turn inward. After crossing the Mekong River, they headed straight to the northeast. The young men were very motivated. Some of them sat on both sides of the cabin, with their legs hanging out of the cabin, dangling in the air.
"Just some guerrillas..."
Zhang Hongyuan, who was sitting on the helicopter, looked at the map in his hand. In the past month, he had entered the rainforest many times, looking for treasures left by the Japanese army based on the locations marked on the map. They had found several places and gained a lot. But there were also many exchanges of fire with local guerrillas.
Shortly after the helicopter crossed the Mekong River, someone in the nearby rain forest noticed them. This was a group of northern troops who were reinforcements heading south along the rain forest trail. Although there were two to three thousand people in size, The dense rainforest blocked their whereabouts.
“The Nanyang helicopter troops are coming!”
“How many helicopters are there in total?”
“16 helicopters!”
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the officer in green uniform thought for a while and then shouted.
“The order goes down. This time, we must teach the Nanyang devils a lesson and tell them that this is not a place where they can come whenever they want!”
Although I don’t know why Nanyang’s recent Helicopter soldiers often appear in this area, but the soldier's intuition tells him that the Nanyang people will never be allowed to enter this rainforest. Otherwise, it is likely to threaten their support from the south and threaten the unity of the country.
Deep in the rain forest, guerrillas wearing green military uniforms shouted and rushed towards the direction of the enemy's landing.
At the same time, the fleet landed on a rainforest meadow, and the team members began to jump out. The machine gunner at the hatch shouted:
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Lu Peng was the last one to leave the cabin. As soon as he jumped out of the cabin, the huge noise of the helicopter and the strong wind caused him to press his helmet with his hands, but his legs did not stop, but he ran towards the nine o'clock direction of the aircraft in large strides to establish a defensive line.
After the helicopter landed in the predetermined area, as in the past, Zhu Huajun, the commander of the air cavalry company, immediately commanded the troops to open a landing site and used explosive ropes to blow up the sparse trees in the landing site, while the soldiers were already there Deploy defenses around the landing site.
As soon as he arrived at the designated location, the third platoon leader Ma Pengfei found a suitable location - a small dry river bed, which was simply a natural trench. After a short observation, he pointed to the left side of the river bed. Said from the side position.
"Machine gunner, set up a firing position there."
Zhang Chong, who was carrying the MAG general machine gun, quickly ran to the position designated by the platoon leader. After setting up the machine gun position, he and his comrades leaned against the river bed and smoked there. We were chatting together.
At the same time, several helicopters arrived at the landing site, and Zhang Hongyuan and Zhu Huajun were chatting about sending a search team to dig out the treasure.
"Same as before, we will establish a landing site first, and then head to the destination. If conditions permit, we will transport a few jeeps over, so that the transportation will be faster."
Because I have carried out such tasks several times before, everything is executed with ease.
“I think it’s okay. Judging from the map, the terrain here should be able to use a car. If the rainforest is dense, just use a helicopter. This will be more...”
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire interrupted Zhang Hongyuan's words. Before he could recover, another explosion was heard from ahead. "Enemy attack..."
The moment he discovered the enemy, Zhang Chong raised his MAG machine gun and fired a burst of fire at the enemy. Although the introduction of MAG machine gun was for the purpose of balancing trade, this It is also an extremely excellent machine gun. The rate of fire can be adjusted. The low speed is suitable for infantry fire suppression, and the high speed is suitable for use as a helicopter window machine gun.
Most of the other soldiers shoot with AR15. This 6.5mm assault rifle just entered the air cavalry brigade trial a few months ago. Although it is being trialled, its performance is very good. Not only does it have small recoil, but it also power.
Li Feng, who was lying on the edge of the river bed, looked through the rifle bore and saw an enemy carrying an AK47 rushing towards him. He immediately pulled the trigger. With the sound of gunshots, he saw that the guy's shoulders were like As if struck by an axe, his arm instantly fell down, and another bullet hit his chest. In a mist of blood, the North Vietnamese army fell.
On the side, Song Siyi had quick hands and quick eyes, "Ba! Ba! Ba!" Three shots were fired in succession. In the blood mist, three North Vietnamese soldiers holding guns staggered and threw themselves into the rain forest. One of the bodies hung on the fallen body. On the tree trunk, the buttocks were raised high.
The 1st Air Cavalry Brigade is indeed the elite of the Nanyang Army - as the world's first Air Cavalry Brigade, this unit combines reconnaissance helicopter battalions, attack helicopter battalions, motorized infantry battalions, fire support battalions and other operations The officers and soldiers of the unit are well-trained and will immediately launch a counterattack as soon as they encounter a counterattack. Accurate and fierce firepower will instantly suppress the approaching enemy.
At the same time, Ma Pengfei has reported the situation here through the radio while directing the defense of the troops.
"Machine gunner, suppress shooting, suppress shooting..."
Song Siyi shouted for his comrades to fight back while observing the enemy's situation. In the dense rain forest, groups of enemies swarmed And up, like the tide.
When the machine gun fired, several North Vietnamese soldiers charging with guns were unable to dodge. They were covered in blood mist and torn apart by the bullets...
Behind him, Zheng Yuan could no longer care about anything else at this time. He just wanted to suppress the enemy's formation before they dispersed. Lying on the ground, he immediately pressed the firing button of the automatic grenade launcher after a simple range measurement.
At this moment, a dense "whoosh, whoosh" sound was heard in the air. They were artillery shells fired by automatic grenade launchers. More than ten years ago, based on the experience of fighting the Japanese army in the Borneo Campaign, the military It was believed that an automatic grenade launcher was needed for infantry units to defend against Japanese naval tactics, so it took several years to successfully develop a 40mm automatic grenade launcher in 1954.
There was a "boom" explosion in the crowd, not one, but dozens of explosions. In an instant, a series of explosions, thick smoke mixed with flesh and blood, gradually annihilated the crowd. Limbs were flying in the thick smoke, and the bloody limbs and internal organs were flying all over the sky. The ground and trees were splashed with red and white things. Immediately, everyone also held rifles and fired as much as they wanted.
The originally rampant tide was suppressed under the fierce firepower.
The dense gunfire had already drowned out all the noise. Facing the powerful firepower, the North Vietnamese troops that came like a tide began to hesitate. Some turned around and got up and ran. However, they were penetrated by machine gun bullets before they took a few steps, and were knocked to the ground by the strong inertia. Soon, harsh whistles and bugles were heard in the rain forest.
Amidst the harsh whistles and bugle blasts, the enemy began to retreat.
Looking at the retreating enemies, the soldiers grinned and stopped shooting. They replaced the magazines for their rifles while sighing at the ease of fighting.
"The guerrillas are just a bunch of rookies. Once they get hurt, they don't dare to fight back!"
The brothers seemed very relaxed. After making sure that the big guys were not injured, Ma Pengfei But he did not dare to let down his guard. He looked around with a telescope. In the clearing of the rain forest, there was still the guerrilla who had been shot and fell to the ground. Among the corpses, there was another guerrilla squirming and struggling. You could clearly see the white bones on his half-baked shoulder and the blood constantly pouring out of his mouth. His breathing was more out and less in. It was certain that he would die soon.
This is war. People who were alive and kicking a moment ago turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.
Gunshot!
When intensive gunfire came from all directions, Wang Chenghua frowned. As a sergeant major, although he was not an officer, his twenty years of service experience had allowed him to experience too many wars. Although the radio What came out was the news of the enemy's retreat, but when he heard the whistles and horns in the rain forest, he frowned and hurriedly said to the company commander:
"Sir, the situation is not right, listen. This sound of trumpets... these people are definitely not guerrillas, they are regular troops!"
Although the roar of the helicopter's engine was deafening, the sounds of trumpets and whistles were still clearly audible, and the intermittent whistles and horns were heard clearly. The sound is conveying orders.
Only the regular army has this kind of trumpet!
This kind of trumpet sound once scared the Americans.
Here, only one group of people will blow this kind of whistle-the North Vietnamese Army. This kind of trumpet sound once also made the French People are frightened by it!
Now, they have met!
Zhu Huajun just stood there, with his brows raised, he almost subconsciously understood his situation, and he immediately shouted to the communications soldier beside him.
"Notify the base immediately that our company is surrounded by unknown enemy forces and request fire support..."
Fire support. Now they are more than 40 kilometers away from the border. Where is the fire support? The only thing they can rely on is They had several 82 mortars and automatic grenade launchers of their own.
