Vault 32

Chapter 216 The Retreating Soviet Army

In the No. [-] karst cave, the humming sound of the hydroelectric generator set still continued, carrying a heart-pounding irritability.Just like the inside of a busy factory, the sound of the generator set turning and the turbulent water waves tumbling, coupled with the echo of the rock wall inside the cave, almost pierced the eardrum like a needle.This is really uncomfortable, but it can only be tolerated. Without these two hydroelectric generators to provide the necessary lighting and energy supply, the power consumption of this cave base would be astonishingly large.

But most of the boys in the Marine Corps are already familiar with this situation. They have been living in this buzzing environment for at least several months, and they can basically ignore the background sound.Of course, when expanding the cave and building external defense bunkers in the past few months, it was a huge amount of work. By then, they would go to bed immediately after the busy work. After the exhausted appearance made them fall on the sleeping bag, their heads were already groggy As for these background sounds, they don't care what they are, and they will sleep to replenish their energy, and the next day there will be equally busy tasks waiting for them.

Liszt also walked quickly in the tunnel, the buzzing in his ears became louder and louder, and his brows relaxed a little.As the most critical place, No. [-] cave is equivalent to the command center of his cave base. As long as he comes here, it means that everything is still under control.He walked out of the tunnel, glanced at the hydroelectric generator set next to it that was still functioning well, and then turned directly to the other side, walking between the two houses built in the corner of the rock wall.

There is the command room and communication room, which directly affect all defense nodes inside and outside the entire cave base, and are also responsible for analyzing the enemy's attack direction and tactical system.Liszt walked in without hesitation. Karl and the two staff officers were frowning and looking at the military map on the table, while Liszt walked over and looked at the densely packed markings on it. He said, "How about the casualties?"

"A total of 12 people were killed on our side, 6 were seriously injured, and 9 were slightly injured. Due to environmental constraints, we cannot count the enemy's casualties, but according to observations from various bunkers, the Soviets suffered at least half of the casualties in the attack."

Hearing Liszt's voice, Karl and the two staff officers who were buried in the military map immediately straightened up.Their faces were dignified and serious, but there was also a bit of joy and excitement between their brows. Looking at Liszt's frown, Karl also smiled and said: "The group of Soviets didn't think of us. The defense is so strong, so they made a wrong tactical judgment, otherwise even if they can't attack our hinterland, the casualties will be much smaller."

Although the Soviets sent a 300-man mountain infantry battalion as a fire reconnaissance and real tail-sweeping unit, a defensive bunker and a dense firepower network with light and heavy machine guns made this careless and slack mountain infantry battalion, in the firepower. Nets and artillery strikes and lost everything in an instant.Even the elite infantry regiment of more than 2000 people, because of a wrong estimate of the firepower and fortification density of the outer cave base, was abruptly defeated by the dense firepower network and uninterrupted artillery attacks.

They are also equipped with a tank battalion as fire support, and armed helicopters as air cover, but judging from this wrong tactical choice, how can they attack the defensive bunker at the risk of death after their infantry suffered heavy losses?Liszt chose to build a defensive bunker on the top of the hill, and they can support each other at any time, especially the small shooting holes on both sides, but they can directly cover the side of the defensive bunker with firepower, so that those Soviet elite infantry who had never thought of it , Almost every meter of advance has to pay the price of at least ten people being torn apart by the firepower net!
No one can resist the terrifying firepower of heavy machine guns. This is not an RPG game. There are many virtualized data attributes such as level, defense, and attack power in role-playing.This is a living world, a real world with various mass effects and various physical theorems. The warhead that appears in the barrel of a heavy machine gun will instantly kill this unlucky ghost due to the huge force and kinetic energy after hitting the human body. He was torn into two pieces, so dead that he could no longer die.

Even today's Liszt, with his enhanced physical fitness and the assistance of his golden finger, dare not easily take the lead in the firepower network composed of heavy machine guns.No matter how strong the human body is, in the face of a heavy machine gun that can shoot through even a steel plate, it is as fragile as a wooden board.Muscles can't be compared to tank-like alloy armor, and skin can't be a buffer for thermal weapons to fire. The end result is that ordinary people are torn to pieces by heavy machine guns.

There were also slight smiles on the faces of the two staff officers, and there was a bit of relief in the eyes looking at Liszt. Being able to support the first wave of Soviet attacks was undoubtedly something worthy of recognition.However, Karl’s voice continued to sound, and his eyes became a little dignified again, and he quickly reported to Liszt: “But the ammunition we have accumulated is almost exhausted. If the group of Soviets continue to attack, our ammunition will I'm afraid it won't last half an hour in storage."

"The problem of ammunition is easy to solve. I will start to arrange this matter. The important thing now is whether our firepower network can pose an effective threat to the enemy?"

Liszt nodded with his face unchanged. He just gained three 10,000+ points, and he is still optimistic about the problem of ammunition consumption. With the point mall, he can exchange a large amount of ammunition at will, so there is no need to worry too much about it. .However, his brows were also slightly frowned, and he looked at Carl and the two staff officers and nodded: "The previous exchange of fire has also exposed some of our lack of preparations in the early stage, at least when the group of Soviets were hiding on the back slope, we There isn’t much to do.”

His face was solemn, the top of the hill was already suppressed by Lister's defensive blockhouse, and he couldn't lift his head, but the Soviet soldiers behind the reverse slope were able to hide behind carefully, waiting for the firepower of the defensive blockhouse at all times. Weakened, and then launched a more violent attack.This was a lesson learned in the fierce exchange of fire just now. The reason why the Soviets were able to penetrate within 50 meters of the defensive bunker was not unrelated to the cover provided by the reverse slope.

Karl frowned slightly, and the two staff officers also looked at each other with a little embarrassment in their eyes.In the complex mountainous environment, the existence of the reverse slope is shared by both sides.And they, who have already occupied several key points of the hill and built defensive bunkers, still have the advantages of commanding heights and fortifications, but there is not much to do about the reverse slope occupied by the Soviets.After all, the artillery team from No. [-] karst cave, the six [-]-type infantry guns supporting the Soviets who attacked from three sides had already worked very hard. Actual tactical instructions.

"The number of our artillery is still too small, and the support requested in the defensive bunker cannot be launched in a good and timely manner. I am afraid that it is still quite difficult to attack the enemy on the reverse slope."

After pondering for a moment, Karl shook his head and rejected Liszt's idea, and he pointed to the military map that he had already drawn with symbols. He had already drawn the detailed terrain of the surrounding mountainous areas, and the Soviets attacked before. The direction, the position of the tank bombardment, and the focus of the concentrated attack after the scattered attack have all been clearly marked on it.But Karl pointed to several areas that were obviously reverse slopes, raised his head and frowned at Liszt: "According to calculations, this is the reverse slope where the group of Soviets mainly gather, but even if our Type [-] infantry artillery can extend the artillery fire At that distance, the firepower coverage caused by the mere six artillery pieces can't cause much casualties to those Soviets at all."

"They must have dug crude fortifications, especially knowing we have curved-fire artillery."

A staff officer next to him also nodded and pointed his finger at a key point on the military map. Although they had never sent anyone to these places, based on the direction of the Soviets' attack and the clues detected in the observation post, they could also Identify the general distribution of the Soviet army.And he looked up at Liszt, tapped the key point lightly with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "If our calculation is correct, then this is the temporary headquarters of the Soviet Army." Still frowning, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "But our artillery can't pose much threat to them."

"It seems that we still need to increase the number of artillery pieces?"

Nodding slowly, Liszt looked at the various symbols on the military map and frowned slightly.He stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and his expression was extremely dignified, but he still nodded and said: "The number of Type [-] infantry artillery is still increasing, and the pits and shooting positions will continue to be expanded inside the cave base." But Liszt saw Looking at the several hills on the map, the helicopters of the Soviet army also made him frown, and nodded slowly: "The firepower network of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns must also be constructed. It’s not just about carrying rockets.”

"This battle is not over, it may just be a bad start for those Soviets." Liszt took a deep breath, his expression still dignified, looking at Karl and the two staff officers beside him , nodded to them with a very serious face and said: "The group of Soviets will not give up just like this. We must speed up all the progress and try to make up for all the deficiencies that we think of before the Soviets attack next time."
