"Grenade launcher! Where's our grenade launcher!"
The captain of the island army lay on the hillside, using the blind spot formed by the slope to curl up his body and shout with all his strength.
"Counterattack, counterattack!"
The answer he got was that the 369th Regiment was not orderly, but they were bombarded by mortar shells continuously.
It was easy to find the grenade launchers of the island army. The place that the grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment focused on was their location.
Each infantry squad of the 369th Regiment had a machine gun and a grenade launcher. The grenade launchers were used in a concentrated manner, and they were used to crush the enemy soldiers at a ratio of ten to one. They continuously fired shells at their counterparts at the foot of the mountain.
"Bastards, this group of bastards!"
The captain of the island army tightened his body and said furiously.
Based on his experience, it was already considered good if the grenade launchers and mortars that the Chinese army had seized could be equipped with five rounds each.
However, not to mention the fact that the Chinese army's mortars continued to bombard the area for more than a minute, turning the area around the three armored vehicles into a sea of fire.
Even now, when the Chinese army's mortars were silenced, the grenade launchers that followed closely behind fired at the core of the island's army from all directions.
When the grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment switched off their engines to look for their targets and tried to locate them, the island army thought that the Chinese army had used up all their artillery shells.
However, the Chinese grenade launchers, who had recalibrate their direction and angle, used two consecutive rounds of artillery to completely eliminate all the remaining grenade launchers of the island army!
The captain of the island army looked around and found that beside every grenade launcher that had been blown to the side, there were only the mutilated corpses of the island army soldiers.
In the two rounds of bombardment, each of the grenade launchers of the island army received an average of 20 shells. If they could survive, it must be because the grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment were slacking off during their training.
"Regiment Commander, we have completely suppressed the island army. A small portion of the island army that hadn't entered the mountain had their soldiers keeping an eye on them. None of them would be able to escape.”
Su Liancheng, who was holding a walkie-talkie and receiving news from the troops in front, reported to Gu Xun.
Gu Xun just nodded silently to show that he understood. He didn't even bother to put down the binoculars.
Using tens of thousands of soldiers to ambush a troop of more than a thousand people, and it was an elite troop like the 369th Regiment, if anything went wrong, Gu Xun would kill himself.
Winning was inevitable. The goal was to wipe them out. If the island army really broke through, Gu Xun would have to blame the people below.
Even though the 369th Regiment had used the fierce firepower of the mortars to stun the main force of the island army as soon as the battle began, because the island army adhered to the marching rules and maintained a certain distance from each other, the mortars and grenade launchers did not have a significant effect on the casualties at first.
After a minute of mortar bombardment and three rounds of grenade launchers, there were still more than 700 people on the island who were still breathing and firing.
In the narrow mountain road, nearly two-thirds of the island's soldiers were still alive after being bombarded by such a high density of artillery. It was obvious that the island's army was still capable after being ambushed for so many years.
However, apart from a few machine guns that were not installed in time, the island army had lost almost all of their technical equipment and became a pure infantry unit with only rifles.
Without the threat of machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars, there was no way the Chinese army would be afraid of the island army!
Rifle reloading was slow, and the rate of fire was negligible compared to machine guns. Facing the enemy's charge, it was impossible to suppress them.
The remaining few machine guns were also discovered by the soldiers of the 369th Regiment. After the riflers called out the names of the island troops, the grenade launchers that followed immediately blasted them into scrap metal, eliminating any future problems.
There were only 38 soldiers left. Some of them were unwilling to sit still and wait for death. They stuck their heads out of cover and tried to fight back.
As a result, the soldiers of the 369th Regiment, who were originally only able to shoot him from one side of the hill, turned into a two-sided pincer attack after sticking their heads out.
The machine gun's firing speed was too fast. It was mainly used to suppress the dense targets that were charging in groups. It was more troublesome to deal with small targets that were further away.
The riflers of the 369th Regiment took over the final clean-up work. They took advantage of the terrain to call out the remaining island troops one by one from the hillside, signaling the end of the battle.
"Regimental Commander, the enemy has less than a hundred people left, and it looks like there's still a second-rank officer.”
Su Liancheng suggested softly.
Gu Xun revealed a rare sneer and shook his head."
"If he was a major general of the island army, I might still have the mood to be artsy and spend some time persuading him to surrender and see if I can capture him alive.”
"It's just a brigade. The major is at his end. Do you think an officer of this level is worthy of wasting our energy and time?”
"I don't object to manners and manners, but it also depends on who it is used to and whether he is worthy!”
Su Liancheng replied,
"Understood. I will order the grenade launcher to open fire and end the battle once and for all.”
However, Gu Xun stopped him.
"Hey, wait!"
"What other instructions do you have?"
"Don't use grenade launchers, let's use rifles and machine guns. I don't care about the major's stuff, but the other Chinese troops should be interested. Don't blow up the spoils of war.”
"Yes, sir!"
