Chapter 217 The Trapped Beast in the Beast-Destroying Valley
After the captain of the 11th Japanese Regiment received the news that the two brigades ahead were attacked, his expression did not change much. Obviously, he was not surprised by such news. He knew that once they crossed the Valley of Beasts and entered the hinterland of the liberated area, they would inevitably be attacked. However, what he could not imagine was that since our army's logistics transfer station was destroyed by Omanrik's air strike, their firepower was still so fierce.
He frowned and couldn't help but wonder, is the People's Liberation Army really not worried about the lack of logistical supplies? Aren't they afraid of running out of bullets? He immediately ordered an artillery squadron of the wing to provide artillery support to the front. Suddenly, the sound of cannons rumbled and the flames shot into the sky.
The wing had two artillery squadrons and one recoilless rifle squadron.
The light weapons of the 771st Regiment have been replaced, but the artillery is still mainly mortars. It lacks effective counterattack methods against the Japanese 105mm howitzers.
However, the 771st Regiment has no solution, and the 16th Regiment may not have any solution either.
The artillery company of a synthetic battalion of the 16th Regiment was nervously calculating the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions. They used precision measuring instruments and efficient calculation methods, and it took only 40 seconds for the first counterattack artillery shell to shoot out of the muzzle and roar towards the Japanese artillery position.
This is a battle of speed and precision. They must send the shells out as quickly as possible to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
As the first artillery shell was fired, the sound of artillery sounded on the battlefield again. The Japanese artillery position was in flames. In less than five minutes, a Japanese artillery squadron suffered all casualties, and all its artillery and shells were destroyed.
On the dim battlefield, the Japanese captain watched all this with dumbfounded eyes. The shock and fear in his heart were as hard as cold iron stone. His eyes passed through the smoke-filled battlefield and fell on the positions destroyed by artillery fire and the fallen Japanese soldiers. His heart was filled with unspeakable pain.
It has always scorned the descriptions of troops who have suffered at the hands of our army, thinking that these are just excuses for losers.
It once looked at these troops with a haughty attitude, thinking that they were just a group of weak losers without any hope or future. However, it is now realizing that it completely ignored changes and trends on the battlefield.
Nowadays, the way artillery engages in combat has undergone earth-shaking changes. The days of firing continuously from one position are gone forever.
Our military's ability to utilize radar technology has reached astonishing levels.
On today's battlefield, the moment the enemy's artillery fires, in less than ten seconds, our army can use radar to lock the position of its artillery, and then quickly launch artillery fire back.
During this transition between attack and defense, the artillery's living space appears extremely fragile.
From the firing of the first artillery shell to the transfer of the artillery position, the enemy's artillery had only a short eight minutes.
If it cannot successfully counterattack or evacuate within this time, this artillery team is likely to disappear on the battlefield.
Recently, with the continuous improvement of our army's digital combat capabilities, this time has been further shortened to 150 seconds.
This means our artillery can acquire intelligence, locate targets, and make decisions and actions in less time. This increase in speed undoubtedly enhances our combat capabilities and gives us greater flexibility on the battlefield.
On the other hand, plaster countries, after being hit by our army's artillery fire, need to estimate the location of our army's artillery positions based on parameters such as ammunition type and caliber, and then send scouts or aircraft to find our army's artillery positions. Then report the location of our artillery positions to your own artillery.
This process can take at least ten minutes. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to launch a counterattack for several hours.
This fact made the Japanese captain extremely shocked and frightened. He once thought that artillery fire was invincible and the key to victory or defeat.
Especially on flat terrain, more than 80% of casualties are caused by artillery fire.
However, what he sees now is that artillery fire can no longer be bombarded indiscriminately. You have to hit a few shots and run away.
Even if you just hit a few shots and run away, under the surveillance of our army's drones, it's hard to say whether you can run away.
On the one hand, the commander ordered the remaining two brigades to speed up through the Valley of Beasts; on the other hand, he requested long-range artillery support from the brigade headquarters. He also truthfully reported the death of his artillery squadron.
Each wing of this division has four infantry brigades instead of the usual three.
In this way, the four infantry brigades of the first regiment all passed through the Valley of Beasts. During this process, the 16th Regiment did not participate in the battle except for artillery support.
After receiving the report, the 9th Brigade immediately ordered the st Infantry Regiment to speed up through the Valley of the Beasts. Together with the th Regiment, they broke through the People's Liberation Army's defenses and penetrated deep into the liberated area.
It knew that if one brigade after another slowly passed through the Beast Destroying Valley, it would be a fueling tactic and was absolutely undesirable.
The 9th Brigade does not have an artillery wing, only the division has one. Because the road was destroyed, the Fifth Division accelerated its advance, and the 155mm cannon weighing more than ten tons was left behind.
Therefore, the entire Fifth Division did not have long-range heavy artillery available at this time.
They can only rely on their own mortars and recoilless rifles to shoot against our army. The quality of its artillery is slightly worse than the mortars and recoilless guns of the 771st Regiment of our army; in terms of artillery auxiliary equipment, it is far behind our army. The amount of equipment is much less.
Therefore, after the 11th Regiment passed through the Beast Destroying Valley, it did not achieve its goal of breaking through our army's position. Instead, the defense line was gradually compressed and casualties increased rapidly.
An hour later, the 11th Regiment once again requested tactical guidance from the brigade headquarters.
After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander stood up in shock. He could not imagine that his brigade could only last for an hour before asking for help again.
In fact, what the brigade leader didn't know was that the 771th Regiment was facing the 16st Regiment. If it were the th Regiment with a lot of heavy equipment, the th Regiment might not be able to hold on for half an hour!
"Order the 41st Regiment to quickly pass through the Beast Destroying Valley! Order the 11th Regiment to defend on the spot."
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the terrain of Beast Slayer Valley is very conducive to setting up an ambush. Should we be more careful?" a staff officer suggested.
The brigade commander nodded and said: "The engineer regiment will set off first to search both sides of the valley to ensure the safety of the 41st regiment."
Although the commander of the 9th Brigade felt the pressure, he did not lose his mind.
Soon, the Japanese engineer regiment began to search both sides of the valley, but there was no one there. After receiving the report from the engineer wing, the brigade commander was completely relieved. Urging the 41st Regiment to leave as soon as possible.
The 41st Regiment, under the strict orders of the brigade commander, quickly entered the Beast Destroying Valley. Entered our army's preset ambush position.
