Chapter 908: The Beginning of the Deadly Fight (two-in-one chapter)
"Map, quickly take out the map and let me take a closer look at where that 350.3 Highland is~"
He shouted this sentence in Hu Biao's mouth at the top of his lungs.
Mainly in Goryeo, almost two-thirds of the area is composed of mountains and hills, and there are very few plains.
Therefore, on the map they have, there are various numbered highlands, which are too many in number.
For a moment, after hearing this 350.3 Highland in his head and ears, Hu Biao felt a little inexplicably familiar with it, but he really couldn't remember where this place belonged.
Under Hu Biao's order, Xu Feng, who had a stubble on his face, quickly took out a map from his backpack and delivered it to him.
He took the map casually and spread it out on the ground.
A large group of people from the Central Continent Team came over after hearing the news, but after getting closer and observing, they quickly discovered where this place was.
Nothing else! 350.3 Highland, this place is too important.
To be precise, it should be the highways from Yongin, Suwon, and Icheon leading to Seoul* City, forming an intersection here, and the most critical commanding height at the intersection is this 350.3 height.
In addition, there is a slightly lower highland next to it, marked as Iwazuki Mountain on the map. If this place can be controlled as well.
It will undoubtedly play a very good supporting role in the defense of 350.3 Highland.
No matter which direction or route the United Guo Army attacks Han* City from, they must pass through this intersection.
Without securing this commanding height, it would have been impossible to successfully advance to the Han Dynasty with Guo Jun's mechanized army.
The capital of South Korea was a successful down payment and saved some face.
Therefore, the control of this high ground can be said to be very critical to both parties.
It was also at this time that after looking at some details of the surrounding area on the map, Hu Biao and others finally combined the mission location with some information in their memory.
In the original timeline, an extremely tragic war also took place here in Highland 350.3.
General Li Qiwei, who united with the Guo Army, also launched a rather fierce offensive after seeing the key to such a strategic point.
The soldiers were only ground troops, including a regiment from the 1st Cavalry Division, the ace unit.
In addition, it was equipped with 52 tanks, 50 cannons, and 24 aircraft. Starting from February 5th, it launched continuous strong attacks on Highland 350.3.
Up to now, we have been attacking continuously for 4 days.
The troops guarding this strategic point are the first battalion of the 342nd Regiment of the 114th Division of the 38th Army of the ZY Army, with a total of about 500 soldiers.
Under the leadership of Battalion Commander Cao, they repelled dozens of attacks from the opponent and finally successfully defended their position.
And out of a battalion of about 500 men, after the battle, only two were left alive.
But now, God knows to what extent such an offensive force has been strengthened under the adjustment of the system.
Just an order from the superiors made the "Independent Tank Battalion", a treasure of a group, prefer to fight to the last tank in order to hold on to the position.
These guys understood that the last stage of this mission must be very difficult.
After thinking about this, Hu Biao became even more grateful that he had not instigated, saved those system points, and completed supplies to the independent tank battalion in a timely manner.
Therefore, at such a time, they can dispatch in the shortest possible time.
To this end, Hu Biao shouted a series of orders:
"Zhui Feng, don't you have good driving skills? Drive with the warehouse manager, and three companies and one platoon as the vanguard, and immediately go to the area around 350.3 Highland.
Warehouse manager, remember to keep your eyes open along the way, and report anything in advance.
For other personnel and equipment, be sure to keep a distance of 1 kilometer from the forwards and set off five minutes later; as well as hemp stalks, please contact the relevant participating troops..."
Immediately, under Hu Biao's order, all the personnel and equipment of the independent tank battalion immediately took action.
Hu Biao had something to say about Hanshuang, although it was a bit unclear.
But Hanshuang joined the team, and it was already his third mission. He could be considered a veteran member, so he naturally understood what Hu Biao meant.
It's just Hu Biao, I want him to quickly contact the two friendly teams, Xiaoba and Maozi, to see if their third phase mission has appeared.
Specifically, what is the content of the mission? What actions do they have now?
So less than ten minutes after Hu Biao led the large army and set off, the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder heard a "rustling~" sound of electricity.
Hanshuang's familiar voice began to sound slightly distorted in the microphone:
"Lao Hu, Xiaoba and Maozi Battle have just been contacted. Their system tasks can be said to be exactly the same as ours, and they were triggered at the same time.
When they contacted us, they were also preparing to leave, and they are probably on their way now."
After hearing such news, Hu Biao directly cursed, "What the hell~"
The reason for this is because he can analyze from the above details that since the three teams in the ZY army camp have the same tasks with each other.
So wouldn’t it be true that those teams that unite with Guo Jun’s camp have basically the same system tasks?
In this way, under the deliberate arrangement of the system, there were originally 21 families, but now there are only 11 families left, 8 opposing families, and 3 of their teams.
The two of us just need to focus on the 350.3 heights, which is where our brains will be shattered.
Just thinking about it, Hu Biao could imagine how brutal the battle would be during this process.
******
With such a mood, Hu Biao and others hurriedly and slowly hurried all the way through the night and arrived at a place 3 kilometers away from 350.3 Goryeo.
After arriving here, even though it was already around 12 midnight at night.
It was quite rare for the soldiers to launch an overnight attack on Highland 350.3 and the slightly lower Iwazuki Mountain Highland.
I saw two hills, one high and one low. Aircrafts were constantly circling in the sky dropping bombs, and long-range artillery fire was constantly bombing.
Huge flames kept rising up to the sky, seeming to burn the sky in that direction.
Since the last mission came to the battlefield of Goryeo, Hu Biao and other bumpkins have seen how crazy the joint Guo army can be in terms of firepower.
But the scene in front of them still shocked them.
It seemed that the firepower combined with Guo Jun's side was even more powerful than all the scenes they had experienced some time ago.
It has a bit of the "Van Fleet ammunition supply" that only exists one year after the normal timeline, with no rush to waste and fire like crazy.
God knows! How the ZY Army soldiers on the battlefield endured all this.
After holding on for four days, how many people are left in the 1st Battalion led by Battalion Commander Cao?
More importantly, Hu Biao knew that after the crazy bombing by the soldiers' aircraft and artillery, the infantry immediately launched a charge.
If the charge fails, artillery and planes continue bombing, a simple but deadly strategy.
It is estimated that a large number of soldiers will launch an attack on Highland 350.3 and Yanyue Mountain Highland soon. Who knows if there are any bloodline experts from the system team among these attackers.
Once these personnel are present, it will be disastrous for the defenders of the position.
So in a very short period of time, Hu Biao made a decision in his heart.
Today is only the 9th, and there are still 7 days left before the 16th, which they must hold on to; so it would be better if the slightly shorter Yanzuki Mountain position can be held for a longer period of time.
If you really can't stand it, you can only give up and use your limited strength to defend the key position of 350.3 Heights.
So, Hu Biao issued a series of orders, making the arrangements for the independent tank battalion clear:
"Old rules, Battalion Commander Chen and Second Company Commander, the two of you stay behind to command the armored troops. Only after receiving my notification can you take the initiative to attack. Without notification, you cannot attack even if you watch us die in battle.
Bacon, you should stay here this time and command the five 107mm rocket launchers and the 150mm self-propelled howitzer.
By the same token, don't fire at will without my order. We only have a few cannons and we can't be reimbursed in advance.
In addition, Mad Dog, AT, Erpang, Feng, Chengzi, you guys stay below, wait for my order, and immediately bring people to support you.
Because I was thinking that with this same tactic, my opponent had already suffered a loss a few days ago.
So don't be careless this time. I think I must leave some maneuverability down there.
Finally, translator, Shi Polu, and Bazi, the three of you lead a platoon to the Yanyue Mountain position. How long can you hold on?
Be careful, you won’t have any reinforcements later.”
After Hu Biao finished the above series of orders, he first looked at the people in the independent tank battalion and found that the people named had no objections to his orders.
He immediately waved his hand and took the remaining members of the Central Continent team with him, as well as a group of mechanized infantry from an independent battalion.
In short, all added together, there were no more than 80 people. They started from the side of the 350.3 plateau and walked all the way up the ridge.
During such a process, everyone was extremely anxious.
But with the flares constantly being shot into the sky, making the entire battlefield as bright as day, they could only use the various craters and natural shelters with extreme caution.
Continuously covering his tracks, he moved closer to the mountain little by little.
There is no way! What if during such a process, their whereabouts are discovered by the artillery observation posts of the United Guo Army, and they casually call out an artillery group to come over.
Or if a few planes swoop down, their reinforcements of 70 or 80 people will be completely defeated.
As for why? Not from the safer back mountain.
It's not that Hu Biao and the others don't want to, it's simply that they can't, because the back mountain location here is another cliff that cannot be climbed manually.
Although the current temperature in the Goryeo battlefield has gradually begun to heat up rapidly.
But there are still freezing temperatures during the day and minus ten degrees at night.
Therefore, on a steep rock wall with a large amount of slippery ice attached to it, even a strong person like an AT who specializes in agility cannot climb up with bare hands.
And Hu Biao's judgment was not wrong, in less than 5 minutes after they set off.
The United Guo Army's indiscriminate bombing of Highland 350.3 and the Yanyue Mountain Highlands gradually stopped.
Then, a large group of soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division began to march towards the cat. After spreading out across a wide front, they pressed towards the two positions at height 350.3 and Iwazuki Mountain respectively.
During this process, all the soldiers had cautious expressions on their faces, and they were even more cautious in their forward movements. They were very likely to lie down and fire back if they encountered fire from their positions.
There is no longer the relaxing scene of an outing like a few months ago.
Obviously, after being beaten up several times by the ZY army, these once awesome and coaxing soldiers have now become more honest.
Then, when these people advanced to a position 100 meters in front of the position, they began to exchange fire with the defenders on height 350.3.
Finally, Hu Biao and others were in position and immediately launched an attack from behind.
Caught off guard, the two hundred or so soldiers were replaced by fifty or sixty soldiers in a blink of an eye. Upon seeing this, the remaining personnel immediately ran away.
It was also at this time that Hu Biao and the others realized how timely they had arrived.
Because when they fought off the attack from the soldiers and arrived at the position, they realized that the 1st Battalion, which once numbered about 500 people, now had less than 60 people left.
This is the scale of everyone after counting all the lightly and seriously injured.
After the two parties met and introduced their unit numbers to each other, they were naturally very happy.
However, everyone was a seasoned veteran of the war, so after a burst of excited hugs, they immediately got busy.
He picked up labor tools such as the engineer shovel, and even used his own hands to start repairing the defenses on the position.
The reason is very simple. There are no fortifications at all on the position of 350.3 Highlands.
Or to put it another way, there were originally fortifications carefully built by the ZY army, but they were violently and indiscriminately bombarded by the soldiers.
It has long been difficult to see even the slightest shadow of fortifications.
Hu Biao brandished his engineering shovel and started digging vigorously into the ground. As a result, after the shovel went down, he discovered that the geology here contained a large number of stones, which were unexpectedly hard.
It is definitely very difficult to build fortifications under such geological conditions, and it will also take a considerable amount of time.
Just facing the fierce firepower of the United Guo Army, without air raid shelters, trenches, and bunkers, wouldn't it be like asking for death?
Under such circumstances, Hu Biao couldn't help but ask:
"Captain Cao, these Western devils who have joined forces with Guo Jun usually launch attacks all night long and don't give us any time to breathe?"
After hearing this, Cao Yuhai, Camp Commander Cao, a man in his 30s.
After struggling to move a stone away, he replied: "That's not true. Such an overnight attack started tonight.
Other times, attacks are launched during the day.
But since they suffered such a big loss tonight, they will probably become more honest in the future."
After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao felt a little relieved and replied:
"That's okay. Let's not sleep tonight and rush to repair the fortifications overnight. The geology here is so hard. These fortifications should be able to last until after noon tomorrow, right?"
"How can such a good thing happen? The United Nations' aircraft and artillery are so powerful that they can blow up all these fortifications in an hour."
A soldier from the 1st Battalion nearby said this while he was busy working.
Damn it! After saying this, Hu Biao suddenly felt that the engineer shovel in his hand became heavier and heavier.
And at this moment, the warehouse manager standing guard on one side of the position suddenly shouted: "Old Hu, come over quickly, there is something going on here~"
After hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao thought that soldiers had launched a sneak attack overnight.
As a result, I hurried over and took a look with an M1918 light machine gun, only to find that there was a figure of No. 89 wearing a ZY military uniform, quietly approaching the position.
The leading figure is none other than Natasha, that hairy girl.
It turned out that the people from Maozi's team also rushed here after receiving the order.
The most important thing is that Hu Biao saw Chekov moving vigorously in the crowd, and it seemed that his current condition was very good.
Suddenly Hu Biao's heart, which had been hanging high, immediately relaxed.
It was a pity that Hu Biao and Chekov and others, who were about to rush into the position, did not wait for a proper greeting.
There were shells piercing the air from the sky, and a familiar scream reached their ears; letting them know that this was a large-scale artillery bombardment by the United Guo Army, and it had begun again.
Under such circumstances, Hu Biao was originally worried about the fact that there was not even an anti-gun hole on the position.
Battalion Commander Cao yelled: "Comrades, follow me~"
Later, when Hu Biao and others followed the footsteps of Battalion Commander Cao and got into an entrance sloping downwards at a point behind the position.
Only then did I discover that a legendary tunnel actually appeared on high ground 350.3.
It is said that this thing will not appear on the battlefield until at least half a year later.
However, Hu Biao did not continue to delve into such a doubt; no matter what he did, it was probably the result of Su Hong training so many people...
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
PS: According to the normal timeline, the tunnel will not appear until half a year later; it will not be until a year later that an underground Great Wall-like scale will be formed in the hands of the ZY Army.
However, because the plot has been compressed, I can't continue writing too much about Hungry, and the author wants to add some storyline to Ganling.
Therefore, the author adjusted some settings here in 350.3 Highland to be similar to the situation here in Shanggan Ridge; the bosses do not need to worry about all the unreasonable things mentioned above.
