Chapter 27: Fierce Battle at Xiaoyu Village

  As the artillery continued to explode, the second line of defense in front of the company was destroyed, and the heavy machine gun position had just been detected by the Indian army after opening fire on the first line of defense, and is now covered by artillery fire. The pre-constructed strongholds in the company's position have all lost their effectiveness.

  As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Cheng Feng jumped onto the Indian army's position, shouting and holding his gun, charging towards a row of positions. At the same time, the artillery position behind the Indian army's position also flashed with gunfire. Cheng Feng knew that the Indian army had opened fire, and now he only had one last line of defense left in his hand.

  "Machine gun squad, first row, 40 meters ahead, rapid fire, open fire!" Cheng Feng shouted into the headset.

  "First row, prepare to fire anti-tank guns!" The sound had just fallen, and the machine gun row's guns fired at the pre-set shooting parameters, hitting the Indian army's advancing road. At the same time, "Boom boom boom", Luo Lianchang's tank also opened fire. With the addition of 140mm cannons, 100mm and 60mm cannons, the Indian army was in a terrible state this time.

  Because of the careful arrangements made by Cheng Feng and others for the defensive positions beforehand, all possible attack points had been divided in advance, just like a sniper opening fire, very accurate in hitting targets. As a result, the cannons were arranged to open fire from the middle to both sides at intervals of about three meters, leaving no shooting blind spots for the Indian army.

  Luo Lianchang's tank fired all blanks, this kind of shell that explodes four meters above the head, coming straight down, the more you lie down, the bigger the target, basically there is no chance to dodge. As the shell landed, some Indian soldiers who were hit by the explosion had their flesh and blood flying everywhere, while others were blown up on the spot, and those who were not hit could only hide at the bottom.

  The reserve tank company in the rear hidden area also opened fire to support the first row of positions. Under the strong artillery strike, the Indian army's first wave of attack was finally blocked 40 meters in front of the position, and Cheng Feng and others temporarily survived the crisis.

  However, the artillery fire launched from the rear of the Indian Army's position also accurately hit their position, fortunately, the lethality of these small-caliber artillery fires was limited. At the same time, one row had already been well-prepared for anti-artillery caves before the war, and during the bombardment, almost all personnel took cover in the anti-artillery caves, so this round of bombardment did not bring great casualties to one row. One row's position only had a reconnaissance point destroyed, one soldier died, and two soldiers were injured.

  "Comrades, inspect your weapons and equipment, be prepared, the enemy may launch a second wave of attack at any time," Cheng Feng ordered.

  "It doesn't matter how long it takes, we are always ready," a soldier said.

  "Commander, today's battle is more intense than the one at 581 high ground!" a soldier said.

  "Yes, there isn't a big problem in front of us yet, but everyone still needs to be careful, the cruel battle may be coming soon," Cheng Feng said.

  At this moment, the alarm sounded on the human-machine interface. Chengfeng knew that the enemy must be launching an attack on the tank and artillery positions. He lowered his head to look at the display screen and saw three small black dots rushing towards the tank position from a distance. Chengfeng knew that these were definitely the enemy's anti-tank missiles.

  At the same time, on the tank company's position, Luo Lianzhang's terminal also received a warning from the human-machine interface. Before the Indian army arrived, the position had already risen with camouflage smoke, and the tanks had moved to a new location. Moreover, Luo Lianzhang and his men seemed to have found the Indian anti-tank position based on the signal sent back by the human-machine interface. As a result, six red fire dragons flew out in an instant, flying towards the distant Indian guiding position.

  But just then, a red smoke column rose into the air in the distance, and soon after, a small flash of light appeared in the distance. The video on Chengfeng's hand disappeared instantly. Chengfeng knew that his drone had been shot down by the Indian military's anti-aircraft missile.

  Lost real-time information, Cheng Feng suddenly felt the pressure increased, because now he can no longer know the enemy's attack route and the scale of the enemy's firepower in a timely manner, this is modern warfare.

  In this war, nothing is absolute. You can attack others and be attacked by them at the same time. Everyone's attacks and counterattacks occur almost simultaneously. It's either you die or he dies. In your duel with the opponent, the greatest value you have may be less than three seconds of time. However, these three seconds are often fatal and can also become a crucial factor in your victory.

  Although Luo Lianchang and his tank troops took defensive countermeasures from the start of the battle, Cheng Feng still hit one of the tanks in the tank company with an anti-tank missile. The number 167 tank was hit by two anti-tank missiles on its top, and the two anti-tank missiles instantly tore through the armor on the top of the tank, engulfing it in black smoke. Cheng Feng knew that this was an internal ammunition explosion "sympathetic detonation".

  Then, with a loud "boom", a bright orange flame shot up into the sky, and turret 167 flew into the night air. The tank crew was torn apart, all of them making the ultimate sacrifice. At this, tears suddenly welled up in Cheng Feng's eyes.

  Tank No. 161 was not directly hit by an anti-tank missile, but a nearby explosion of another tank caused the reactive armor on No. 161 to detonate, and with a loud "boom" a red flame shot out more than 10 meters from the front section of the turret.

  However, Luo Lianchang and his men's superb military skills still allowed their tank artillery to destroy an anti-tank position that the Indian army had just set up in the first place. Specifically, they didn't know how much damage they did, but Cheng Feng felt that after this round of artillery fire, there were no more anti-tank missiles flying over from the Indian side.

  "Lao Luo, Lao Luo! Are you alright?" Cheng Feng asked anxiously as he arrived at Luo Lianchang's tank.

  "I'm fine, Commander Cheng. The front armor was hit, but it hasn't penetrated the main armor yet, just a shock." Lieutenant Luo replied.

  "You continue to provide mobile support for us, but you need to be careful about the enemy's deep large-caliber artillery and anti-tank ground-to-air missiles next." Feng continued.

  "Alright, Commissar, we've started mobilizing. Now I decide to deploy two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles 1500 meters ahead, forming a semi-circular artillery support position. Withdraw personnel from the tanks and IFVs, use the information terminal to control the vehicle-mounted remote control system for strikes. If necessary, you can exceed my authorization to carry out direct strikes," said Luo Lianzhang.
