Compared to the last time when they ambushed the island army, the 369th Regiment was still in a hurry. However, the experienced logistics department had made a great contribution and prepared a few base ammo for the artillery battalion to squander.
As expected of the department with the most pressure in the 369th Regiment, the task of urgently mobilizing supplies for an ambush was not difficult for them at all.
You can always trust the logistics of the 369th Regiment!
Gu Xun let Wen Shusheng command the battle at the front line. Wen Shusheng, who had been influenced by Gu Xun's usual style, decisively adopted Gu Xun's favorite tactic.
Before the battle, Wen Shusheng had instructed the artillery battalion to fire 25 rounds at the fastest speed!
Just the artillery battalion alone had prepared 2500 80mm mortar shells for the first round of artillery fire, not to mention the 400 grenade launchers of the 369th Regiment.
Thanks to the fact that the ambush was an entire regiment, the battle line was much wider than before, allowing all the main forces of the 369th regiment to have a chance to play. They did not need to concentrate most of their technical equipment in one place like last time.
The firepower from all directions directly hit the island army's logistics regiment, making it impossible for them to rescue any place because the firepower was similar everywhere.
In order to improve the reaction ability during the march and reduce the possibility of being concentrated to break through the weak points, the 20th Division's logistics team distributed all kinds of armored vehicles and personnel carriers evenly among the marching team.
If the ambush was still aimed at the Chinese army, which used rifles as their main weapon, then this arrangement would be extremely effective.
However, they were now facing the 369th Regiment, which had an insane firepower density that was nine times that of the island army…
The result of evenly distributing the vehicles in the marching team was that the firepower of the 369th Regiment equally took care of these vehicles and the island army soldiers around them.
According to the normal development of the situation where the Chinese army could not even gather a few shells, the surroundings of these vehicles were the safest places when they were attacked, and also the most favored places for the island soldiers.
The vehicles that were supposed to block the fatal firepower had now become huge steel coffins. The concentrated firepower from the 369th Regiment covered these targets.
Explosions occurred several times every second. Not only did most of the vehicles of the island army's logistics regiment turn into scrap metal in an instant, but the high temperature, shrapnel, and impact from the explosions also directly tore apart the bodies of the island army around the vehicles.
Not only did Regiment 369 prepare coffins for them, but they also cremated them.
After the first round of the most intensive bombardment, the artillery battalion and the grenade launchers in each squad immediately switched to free fire, choosing the target that posed the greatest threat to them to continue bombarding.
At the rear of the island army regiment, the three companies of the 369th regiment, who were originally lying in ambush, were responsible for the crucial job of locking down the encirclement.
After the riflers and grenade launchers killed a small portion of the island army that had yet to enter the encirclement, they decisively chose to go down the mountain and completely seal the encirclement.
Wen Shusheng's order was very clear. Even if they had to use corpses, they had to block the retreat of the island army!
The three companies that charged down the mountain and spread out the front line had a clear division of labor. Most of the troops used the terrain at the foot of the mountain and bunkers to set up fire points on the spot and engaged in a fierce battle with the island army at the back of the encirclement.
The remaining small portion of the troops turned their guns in the opposite direction and faced the remaining island troops outside the encirclement.
These three companies suffered casualties almost immediately after they charged down the mountain. As the troops of the A Division, even the logistics regiment still had a tenacious will to fight and strict discipline.
Some of the island troops who were cut off outside the encirclement, even though they knew that the encirclement was receiving the baptism of artillery fire, still moved closer to the encirclement after the battle began, trying to resist.
The island troops on the mountain road or at the foot of the mountain, after escaping the first round of intensive artillery bombardment, immediately relied on the nearby bunkers and terrain to resist.
Although their regimental commander had been killed by a single shot at the start of the battle, it did not make much of a difference whether or not the island army's logistics regiment had a commander.
With the artillery battalion's mortars as the main force, the continuous artillery shells bombarded the island army at the foot of the mountain. The untraceable artillery shells exploded one after another on the mountain road, causing the island army to suffer huge casualties even when they gathered their forces. They had no choice but to resist on the spot.
Wen Shusheng's order was to empty a base number of shells in the first round of bombardment as soon as possible in order to kill as many people as possible. However, after the first round of bombardment, the Artillery Battalion's platoons were free to choose their targets.
The logistics unit had prepared a few artillery shells so that the artillery battalion could play their role as the core of the firepower.
The only area that could be considered to be a fierce battle was the closing area of the encirclement, which was sealed off by the three companies.
They voluntarily gave up the terrain advantage and went down the mountain to fight the island army to the death in order to carry out the regiment headquarters 'order to "wipe out the enemy".
The island army also realized that they were the only option to break out of the encirclement. The island army at the back of the formation charged towards the three companies almost immediately after the battle began, trying to break through the encirclement of the Chinese army.
However, the artillery troops of the 369th Regiment were not blind. What the island army could see, they could see even more clearly.
With the cooperation of the artillery battalion, the three companies at the foot of the mountain firmly guarded the mountain road with the firepower network built by grenade launchers and machine guns.
