Volume 5 Central South Storm Chapter 13 Joint Fire Support
When he arrived at Xiang Yinghui's phone call, Peng Maobang immediately rushed to the combat center.
"The ground battle has begun?"
"Just just started." Xiang Yinghui took a few steps back and made way for the busy staff to open the passage. "The airborne location was deviated, and one of the platoons fell behind the crossing line."
"Send reinforcements immediately."
"The air force aircraft group has set off, and we are contacting the nearest airborne force." Pei Chengyi walked over, "It should be the 3rd Battalion 3|, and one of the squads is heading to Nonghei as planned to detect the defense deployment of the Vietnamese army."
"The headquarters will directly swing the power to connect to the squad."
Pei Chengyi nodded and went to find Staff Xin.
Peng Maobang frowned slightly and did not rush to open the command center.
It is very common for airborne deviations, and it is also very common for airborne troops to land on enemy positions. Peng Maobang believes in the combat effectiveness of airborne troops and the fighting will of airborne troops.
Soon, the phone was answered.
“Report identity.”
"Li Dongshi, the 3rd squad leader of the 3rd Company of 1533 Battalion."
So many "3 Xiang Yinghui was stunned for a moment. He said, "I am Xiang Yinghui, the commander-in-chief of the battle. Now I will issue combat orders to you directly."
"Xiang...is. General!"
"Tactical information is being sent. The 1st platoon has landed behind the Vietnamese defense line. You are the ground troops nearest to go to support immediately." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment and said, "Air support..."
When he saw Xiang Yinghui, Chengyi immediately raised five fingers.
"After the air support clock, we will open a passage for you and pay attention to guidance."
"I understand, I have received the battlefield information."
"Very good, contact me directly if you have any information."
"yes!"
After looking at the information on the individual soldier's computer screen, Li Dongshi patted Yuting's shoulder and told him to stop moving forward. "Xiao Wang and I are responsible for the air guidance, and the others continue to move forward in the car. Our new mission is to support the 1st platoon brothers besieged by the enemy. After the bombing is over, break through the enemy's defense line along the fire channel. Xiao Zhang, stay in the car and command for me."
After saying that, Li Dongshi and a soldier left the paratrooper combat vehicle.
Nonghei is located at the eastern end of the Sichuan-Ku Plateau, a small town with a population of less than 10,000. About 12 hours before the arrival of the airborne troops where Li Dongshi was, the first Vietnamese army entering Laos occupied Nonghei, set up a logistics transfer base here, and deployed defensive positions on the periphery.
The 15th Army airborne attacked Nonghei first because it was a strategic location to enter Laos.
The highway from Nonghei to the west leads to Luang Prabang, and the highway from the southwest leads to Chuangang. The former is the only place for the Republic's armed forces to Vientiane, and the latter is the only place for the Vietnamese army to go to Vientiane. If the 15th Army airborne can take Nonghei, it will not only prevent the Vietnamese army from entering Laos, but also block nearly one Vietnamese army that has entered Laos, laying the foundation for the subsequent annihilation war.
It can be said that whether Nonghei can be defeated has a decisive impact on the ground fighting behind.
Li Dongshi was not aware of these situations, and as the squad leader of the airborne troop, there was no need to know.
After taking Xiao Wang for more than 200 meters on the rugged mountains, Li Dongshi found a favorable hidden place.
"Laser indicator." Li Dongshi glanced at the warrior behind him, "Pay attention to Zhou's situation."
After Xiao Wang handed the laser indicator to the squad leader, he quickly slipped 1 meter away and hid.
After looking at the watch, Li Dongshi activated the laser indicator and connected the tactical communication channel.
"Falcon calls for the poisonous snake, falcon calls for the snake..."
"The poisonous snake has been received, and the poisonous snake has been in place and can enter at any time." Li Dongshi took a deep breath.
After the clock arrived, the 30s guided the target.”
"I understand, the post-30s guide the target." Li Dongshi quickly inspected the battlefield information stored in the individual computer and selected the Vietnamese machine gun fortress 500 meters north of the north.
After aiming the laser indicator at the target, Li Dongshi pressed the launch switch.
An infrared laser that is invisible to the naked eye "fired" the machine gun fortress, and was firing wildly outside without any notice.
Li Dongshi held his breath and the bomb will fall within 2 minutes!
The battle on the battlefield was not fierce, and many Vietnamese troops were opening fire blindly. At this time, only three platoons of airborne troops arrived at the battlefield, and they were still scattered within a radius of 5 square kilometers. If the 1 platoon had not fallen behind the Vietnamese defense line, the two sides would have not yet contacted them.
Most of the machine guns in the Vietnamese army were firing into the air, and it seemed that there were airborne troops all over the sky.
Li Dongshi smiled coldly, the quality of the Vietnamese military and local governments was indeed not very good.
A low sound came from the air, and the Vietnamese army in the machine gun fortress seemed to hear it. The tongue of flames that were still flashing frequently at the beginning suddenly disappeared. A Vietnamese machine gunner wearing a steel helmet leaned out and looked at the night sky in the north where the sound came.
2 "Fire Meteor" cut through the night sky, and the earth suddenly shook.
Li Dongshi buried his head as fast as possible, circled his arms and pressed the paratrooper helmet on his head.
The violently shaking ground made Li Dongshi's stomach swell upside down. The deafening explosion stimulated Li Dongshi's eardrum, and the whistling wind pressed Li Dongshi tightly on the ground.
Explosions rang one after another, except for the first bomb falling on the laser indicator.
Outside, several other bombs went from south to north, with a ground passage of 1 to 150 meters.
"Squad leader..."
"Come on, let the chariot pass by quickly"
Getting on the paratrooper fighting vehicle, Li Dongshi stood at the machine gunner's position. The infantry inside the car mounted the machine gun on the gun stand behind the shooting hole.
The chariots roared towards the Vietnamese position that had just been bombed.
Under Li Dongshi's operation, the 20mm machine gun and 30mm automatic grenade launcher on the remote control turret opened fire, and the shells and grenades were fired at the Vietnamese army that were fleeing in a panic. The infantry in the car was not ruthless, and spread the bullets to the Vietnamese army that were out of the position through the shooting hole.
"Squad leader, close air support!"
"Don't worry about so many, take the opportunity to rush in and reach the 1st row brother!"
In the air, the O-5m attack, which was responsible for low-altitude support missions, first dropped a flare and then dived the attack. He used ground rockets and 37mm aerial machine guns to strafuse the Vietnamese positions and fortifications on the ground. In less than 5 minutes, the attack aircraft used up all its ammunition and left.
The paratroopers and combat vehicles took this opportunity to break through:=The military defense line and contacted the 1st platoon of officers and soldiers who were besieged by the Vietnamese army.
All three paratroopers and vehicles in the first platoon were destroyed, and 12 of the 30 officers and soldiers, including the platoon leader, were killed, and 7 were injured.
Li Dongshi did not; when he arrived, he became the highest rank of "official officer" in this army.
"Let the injured brothers go to the back of the war, Xiao Zhang, clean up the battlefield; Xiao Wang, contact the troops in the rear and nearby areas, we need more support." Li Dongshi made the decision as fast as possible. There were too many wounded people and too many people killed. With just one squad, it was impossible to take all the wounded and the bodies of the soldiers and the bodies of the soldiers.
"Squad leader, the headquarters adjusted the airborne plan and let us hold our position. The 2nd Battalion airborne directly here.
”
"What?" Li Dongshi gritted his teeth, "continue to call for air support."
After rectifying the team, Li Dongshi called the squad leader of the first row of the land. The task was very simple, expand the position and prepare for the welcome camp.
Faced with thousands of enemies around, the 20 airborne troops who could still fight did not choose to retreat.
All 20 officers and soldiers, including 2 paratroopers and vehicles drivers who were slightly injured, participated in the ground battle.
What Li Dongshi could count on was air support. As long as air support arrived in time, the Vietnamese army would not think about what they would do to them.
At 211:23, the second round of air support arrived. The 12-loaded bombs FBC-11b dropped more than 80 tons of bombs near the airborne field, and bombed the Vietnamese troops who were preparing to besiege Li Dongshi and other airborne troops back.
Two minutes later, 8q-5m arrived and took turns to suppress the nearby Vietnamese troops.
About the clock before the 2nd Battalion airborne, the last round and the most violent round of fire strikes arrived.
The long-range rocket artillery deployed in Ladi Army was dispatched, and more than 500 rockets were fired at the positions of the Nonghei Vietnam 350 kilometers away.
The earth shook in the explosion, and the night burned in the flames.
Across hundreds of meters of land, Li Dongshi and other airborne soldiers were stunned.
The army artillery was indeed a big deal. Just to support the airborne troops, they smashed hundreds of rockets at once!
Although the fire damage effect of carpet-type shelling is not necessarily much better than precise bombing, it has caused psychological blows to the enemy and boosted morale to friendly forces.
After a short three-level saturation strike, the Vietnamese army, who were lucky enough to be killed, fled with all their weapons!
In the more than 0 minutes of battle, what Li Dongshi did the most was firepower guidance.
A huge roar came from the air, and more than 20 large transport planes sent the battalion's officers and soldiers over.
When the reinforcements arrived, Li Dongshi had not yet fired a bullet with the paratrooper rifle he carried!
When he met Major Ding Zhaoxuan, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, Li Dongshi handed over the command.
At this time, Xiang Yinghui and Pei Chengyi, who were commanding in the rear, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good job, expand the landing market as soon as possible." Peng Maobang smiled slightly and glanced at his watch. "Tell Ning Gucheng of 153 that even if he can't take Nonghei before dawn, he will still surround Nonghei. Before 15 o'clock tomorrow, Nonghei must be occupied and cut off the passage between the Vietnamese army in and out of Laos."
"No problem, I personally issue an order to Brigadier General Ning Gucheng."
Peng Maobang nodded and left the command center with satisfaction.
Xiang Yinghui breathed a sigh of relief and gave Pei Chengyi a thumbs up.
The beginning of that round of fire support, whether it was air strikes or long-range artillery participation in the war, was all Pei Chengyi's masterpiece. Within a few minutes, Pei Chengyi sent all the support forces that could be mobilized nearby, not only severely damaged the Vietnamese army stationed in Nonghei, but also successfully opened the second airborne field.
Pei Chengyi was not complacent because conducting firepower dispatch is the basic quality of a commander.
With the arrival of the 1532nd Battalion, the airborne battle outside Nonghei also entered the final stage. Before dawn, the other two companies of the 1533rd Battalion, 15311 and 1534 battalion all arrived in Nonghei.
Brigadier General Ning Gucheng, the commander of the 15311th Battalion, arrived at the front line with the 15311th Battalion, and directed the combat operations against Nonghei. (To be continued,)
