Chapter 347: Encounter on a narrow road!
At the same time, the firepower platoon and the infantry platoon each found a suitable position, put their equipment aside, took out the engineer shovel behind them, and began to dig a temporary battle position on the hillside! Now they dug as much as they could, because they all knew that in the upcoming battle, having a good bunker would increase their chances of survival.

Fortunately, the hillside here was all soil, and the comrades dug quickly along the hillside. The flying shovels brought up the soil, and soon they dug out a small platform along the mountain, followed by a shallow trench. Although it could not withstand artillery bombardment, it was enough to prevent bullets from shooting from the bottom of the mountain.

More than 100 people set up a simple position shaped like fish scales against the mountain.

The sniper, bazooka and mortar teams each looked for a good position on the road at the foot of the mountain, constantly measuring distance and observing and preparing.

The sniper and bazooka teams dispersed 200 meters away from the road, and the mortar team retreated several hundred meters to the foot of the mountain and set up positions in the cornfield. They all had ranging telescopes, so they could observe and aim at the anticipated battlefield without waiting for the enemy to arrive.

More than ten minutes later, the Kingston Task Force of the 24th Rogue Eagle Infantry Division drove two M300 light tanks and brought more than infantrymen in more than ten carts, singing all the way to the vicinity of Mulichuan village.

Although they were ordered to rescue the 24th Division, this was of no importance to the soldiers of the th Division.

As a team that participated in two world wars, produced three ace regiments: the Polar Bear Regiment, the Spearhead Regiment, and the Buffalo Regiment, and completed combat missions as punctually and accurately as an ancient clepsydra. They are not a second-rate team like the 3th Division, but the famous clepsydra division.

Like the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division, they are the main force of the Rogue Eagles on the peninsula and they are confident that they can defeat any enemy.

The task force led by Lieutenant Kingston was from the 32nd Regiment. Lieutenant Kingston, who had a strong background (in another time and space, he had later served as the first commander of the Central Command), was now leading a task force that only majors were qualified to command. In his task force, there was even a captain company commander!

But at this moment he could only sit in the second tank and follow Lieutenant Kingston's lead vehicle.

No one thought there was anything wrong with this arrangement. The Rogue Eagles were all about personal heroism, and Lieutenant Kingston had a family background and was capable, and he dared to rush to the front in battle. As the vanguard of the 32nd Regiment, Kingston at least led by example.

"The task force reports that no enemy was found and the journey was safe. You can move forward at full speed without worry!" Kingston looked at the empty road and the smoke from the village ahead, but there was no movement. He reported to the 32nd Regiment Headquarters through the tank communication system.

"Received, Lieutenant Jin, please stay safe!" The blonde beauty replied from the regiment headquarters.

"Miss Anna, I think we can have lunch here. There are more than a dozen families here, and they seem to be cooking." Lieutenant Kingston said. As a member who came to "rescue" the northern ethnic groups, Kingston did not think that eating a meal with the common people here was a big deal.

Although the troops carried dry food, it was not as delicious as hot meals.

"Go ahead, Lieutenant Kingston. Just don't let the guerrillas target you." Miss Anna said with a smile on the other end of the radio. She obviously knew that this was not the first time that Lieutenant Kingston and his men had done this.

"What do they want to do?" Zhao Erhu, a platoon leader next to Li Tianxi, asked in confusion, watching the tanks of the Rogue Eagle slowly driving towards the village on the main road, "Do they want to eat the people's food here?"

Zhao Erhu didn't expect that he hit the mark. But Li Tianxi didn't give them a chance.

Seeing Kingston and another tank turn around, the following cars blocked the tanks' chance to rush down the road, and he gave the order decisively. "Bazooka! Knock down the enemy tanks!"

At this moment, the rocket launcher team, which had been prepared long ago, heard the company commander's order through the new battlefield radio system and decisively aimed at the two tanks!

Four rockets flew towards the two tanks at the same time!

Before hitting the tank, the sniper's bullet first penetrated the chest of the truck driver on the road! The truck lost control and crashed into the tank in front of him, blocking the tank's retreat!

Before Captain Rogue Eagle could react, he was hit on the forehead by the vehicle in the tank.

Four rockets hit the target one after another, causing a series of explosions. The captain's tank behind Kingston exploded with the explosion of the rockets, detonating the ammunition inside the tank, and he died before he could accomplish his mission!
But Lieutenant Kingston was lucky. The two armor-piercing shells that hit his tank blew up the shell of the tank, but did not cause a secondary explosion, so he was fine for the time being. However, the sudden rocket attack really scared Kingston. He opened the hood of the tank in a panic and escaped nimbly.

Then he fled back to the infantry line in a panic.

That was too dangerous just now!

If those two rockets had not hit the target, my life would have been over.

There are indeed guerrillas from the Northern Army in this forest!

As Lieutenant Kingston ran, he shouted, "Enemy attack, disperse and counterattack! Gogogo! (gogogo)!"

Before he could finish his words, the second round of rockets hit the tank that was still desperately moving and hiding!

They were not so lucky this time. The same two rockets penetrated the tanks and detonated the ammunition inside. With a loud bang, the two tanks of the task force became a thing of the past.

However, that was not all. In the distance, the sounds of machine guns, 56 semi-automatic and 56 assault rifles began to sound intensively, and bullets rained down on the remaining infantry of the Rogue Eagles!

The Rogue Eagle soldiers fled from the cars and roads howling like ghosts, and threw themselves onto the nearby hillsides and ditches!

The heavy machine guns on four of the half-track armored vehicles turned their gun barrels toward the hillside and began firing in counterattack!
This is a Browning heavy machine gun with a caliber of 12.7mm. It has enormous destructive power. Anyone who touches a human body will be disabled!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Li Tianxi couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he heard the bullets flying over his head.

The standard weapons currently equipped by the troops are mainly Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns, and Type 56 light machine guns. These weapons have the same caliber. Heavy machine guns like the Browning have not yet been developed. A few Maxims are also used as supplements.

Because the Type 56 light machine gun is very powerful, on the battlefield, the position of the large-caliber heavy machine gun is given to the 20mm anti-aircraft gun, which is also a powerful weapon when laid flat.

However, this round of counterattack by the Rogue Eagle heavy machine gun made Li Tianxi desire for heavy machine guns.

With a dull bang, the heavy machine gunner on one of the half-track armored vehicles fell forward, with his head almost exploded!

This is the counterattack of Li Tianxi's company sniper! In this case, the sniper is very reliable. As long as the enemy shows his head, there will be basically no accidents within a thousand meters!
first, second
The snipers targeted the heavy machine gunners of the Rogue Eagle one by one and soon broke up the Rogue Eagle's counterattack. However, they were not useless. At least when they were strafing, they suppressed many volunteer soldiers and made them dare not raise their heads. The firepower of Li Tianxi's 1st Company was suppressed in an instant.

Let Kingston and most of his task force escape death!

Immediately afterwards, a counterattack was launched using 60mm mortars and 82mm mortars!

One after another, mortar shells were delivered to the hillside where Li Tianxi's company was ambushed.

Although the accuracy depends on luck, this kind of free counterattack can sometimes hit the target, posing a great threat to Li Tianxi's company's position.
