Military career: Starting with a recruitment letter

Chapter 173 Mountain Assault, Saturation Sniping Tactics
Fang Huai has served in the military for many years, and his training regiment at the Army Academy is full of outstanding soldiers.

He had seen soldiers who were argumentative, soldiers who were down-to-earth, and even quite a few soldiers who lacked ambition.

But people like Chen Mo, who are usually quiet and unassuming, but suddenly appear at crucial moments and can intimidate a group of veterans, are really rare.

The dozen or so men in the second squad were indeed stunned by Chen Mo, and it wasn't just because of a few words.

To know.

A scout is first and foremost a soldier, or at least considers himself an excellent soldier. It's not surprising that he might have a few special skills, but it's not that his proudest skills can be easily seen through.

So, is this job ever going to end?

During the weapon distribution, the veterans of the second squad silently put their weapons back in their original positions, except for An Kang from 401 and Lai Wei from 402 who were holding onto their Type 85 sniper rifles.

It was obvious that they had accepted Chen Mo's suggestion.

Fang Huai simply stepped back a few steps, leaving the opportunity for the students to perform to themselves.

Anyway, the requirements for the assessment are not difficult. It just depends on which team gets to plant the flag on the mountaintop first before dawn, or whether the people on the mountain can hold out until dawn.

The task is actually very simple.

The real challenge lies in whether these trainees can cooperate with each other and whether anyone has the ability to command.

Having command ability alone is not enough; one must also possess quick thinking and decisive courage.

Otherwise, they're all veterans; who would willingly listen to you?

Chen Mo naturally understood these principles; he laid the groundwork for Ding Zeliang's affair, subtly putting on an act.

Then, he quickly waved his hand, gathering all the nearby veterans together.

There was no queue, but everyone looked uneasy.

Chen Mo observed the expressions on everyone's faces before speaking: "Brothers, tonight's mission will not be easy. If our Red Team's flag is not planted on the mountaintop when the first rays of sunlight rise tomorrow morning..."

"That means we've lost."

The Red Team was a nickname Chen Mo came up with on the spot. Before the battle, a unified code name was necessary to boost morale.

Although he is not good at commanding, he has the advantage of having listened and seen a lot, so he can learn about 70-80% of what he has learned.

"Scholar, stop with the nonsense and just tell me what to do." Ding Zeliang's temper flared up again.

Because the word "defeat" is something that is difficult for even the proud reconnaissance soldiers to admit directly.

When Lao Ding asked him a question, Chen Mo didn't rush to answer. He simply waved his hand calmly and said, "Squad leader, don't worry."

"You all know what happened to the elite 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade four years ago during the Russian civil war, right?"

Upon hearing this, some veterans' eyes flickered, while others looked completely bewildered.

After all, compared to Chen Mo's knowledge reserves, not all veterans in grassroots units have access to such a vast amount of information.

"I know this."

Xie Yong nodded first and said, "Our division had a similar course last year. The 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Russians organized an attack on the city of Gelora, which was occupied by armed criminals. Their brigade's equipment was not bad."

"There were 120 BMP-2S infantry fighting vehicles and 27 tanks, with a full complement of 1,000 people. After entering the city for 60 hours, except for the brigade headquarters personnel who suffered relatively minor casualties, the rest of the unit was completely wiped out."

Xie Yong's explanation, even though some veterans present had heard the story before, was still shocking.

At this point, everyone basically understood Chen Mo's purpose in suddenly launching the Battle of Tige City.

Currently, there are already four teams on Cuiping Mountain. They entered the mountain an hour early, and the college will drive them to the foot of the mountain later.

If tactics are not planned in advance.

So, let alone planting a flag, the moment they get off the vehicle, their fate will likely be exactly the same as that of the 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade.

This is not an exaggeration.

With such a powerful weapon as the Type 85 sniper rifle, the people on the mountaintop are fully equipped to keep an eye on the foot of the mountain from the moment the vehicles enter the mountaintop's line of sight.

Once the person arrives, you can open fire and kill them.

Don't even think about hiding. No one can escape a sniper shot from above. Even the best reconnaissance soldier is useless against them.

Even now, people on the mountaintop are aiming at this area through sniper scopes.

"Damn it, we should be the ones guarding the mountaintop," Wang Bo said angrily. "If we were the ones guarding it, no other team could get up the mountain."

That's true, but it was just said in anger.

The veterans, who had initially been somewhat resistant to Chen Mo's assignment, fell silent at this point.

It's about time.

Chen Mo stopped being coy and lowered his voice, saying, "Brothers, if we want to climb the mountain successfully, we need enough snipers and marksmen. We can't plan the battlefield in advance."

"We don't know where we'll get off later, but that's okay. We're familiar with the terrain. We'll get off in batches after we set off, one person every 200 meters, and we'll saturate the area with sniping. That should clear out at least one side of the mountain."

"The problem now is, who can take on the sniper role, and who is willing to be the decoy?"

"I'm not good at sniping, but I'm definitely good at marksmanship. I even ranked in the top three in my unit at the end of last year," said Luo Siming from dormitory 401.

“Then I’ll count as one.” Zhang Shaochuang from 401 stepped forward at the same time.

“I can too,” Xie Yong said.

“I’m no problem being a sharpshooter.” Li Jitao from 401 and Liu Mujun from 402 stepped forward one after the other.

That's how the trainee teams are. They don't have any sense of cohesion, and there's no hierarchy among them. They can work together on the field, but they might not be willing to accept orders.

Leading troops is inherently a very complex matter.

A class is a small group, let alone veterans like them who come from various grassroots levels.

Often, when the leader is unaware of the veterans' abilities, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

"Well, I'll be the bait then. Anyway, my abilities are all so-so." Wang Bo shrugged.

The so-called bait is to get off at the destination while following the vehicle. As long as the people on the mountain fire their guns, the people who got off the vehicle in advance and lay in ambush at the bottom of the mountain can accurately find the location.

This allows for saturation sniping.

Their second squad consisted of only fourteen people, seven of whom were snipers and marksmen. Chen Mo was the commander, and Ding Zeliang was a close-quarters assault soldier.

The remaining five people were the bait.

After all, it's impossible for the convoy to arrive at the finish line empty-handed; that would only make the people on the mountain more vigilant. If they couldn't eliminate a sufficient number of sniper positions in the first round of combat...

There's no need to play anymore after that.

"I sat in the passenger seat and listened for the signal to tap the carriage. One person got off every two hundred meters, and we had to be very discreet."

"Comrades, whether the flag will appear on the mountaintop tomorrow morning depends on our coordination later."

"Grab your guns, register, and kill the enemy!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

All the veterans lowered their voices and roared.

They began selecting weapons based on the mission requirements, and the weapons downstairs in Building 3 were clearly not intended for the Second Squad.

The number is much greater than the number of people.

The standard marksman setup is basically a Type 85 sniper rifle and a Type 85 submachine gun, while Chen Mo and Ding Zeliang are equipped with a Type 81 rifle and a pistol.

Of course, Chen Mo also carried an extra Type 85 sniper rifle, just in case.

As for wooden swords and the like, the academy doesn't require them, so we won't take them.

What the hell era are we living in?

If you can use a gun, why would you fight with a knife?

As for the bait, there's not much to say; just carry an 81-bar rifle. Anyway, the moment you get off the vehicle, you'll most likely be eliminated.

Tactical deployment complete.

The rest of the process is much simpler.

Under Fang Huai's supervision, all personnel registered the type, serial number, number of magazines, and number of bullets of the firearms they received.

Helmets and ammunition belts were all collected.

Equipment including walkie-talkies and night vision devices were also fully prepared.

In the late 1990s, there wasn't much protective gear available. If Chen Mo and his friends could find time to wash their clothes, they were considered to be in relatively good condition.

After all the equipment was collected, under Fang Huai's watchful eye, the four troop transport trucks lined up and set off.

The people from the Army Academy aren't stupid when it comes to this kind of assessment. They certainly wouldn't arrange a vehicle for transportation, otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy for those participating in the assessment on the mountain to win?

All four cars will reach the same destination, but their speeds and routes will differ.

Since Chen Mo had made prior arrangements, there was no need for them to travel separately.

Thirteen people gathered inside the carriage.

Chen Mo was the only one sitting in the passenger seat. The car started from the east gate of the Army Academy and drove north along Huotong Highway.

It's not too late at 9 p.m.

However, due to the relatively remote location of the Army Academy and the fact that urban development in the 1990s was not as advanced as in later years, there were no streetlights along the way.

It was pitch black everywhere.

Chen Mo sat in the passenger seat, staring at the distant mountains. In the darkness, Cuiping Mountain resembled a massive, savage beast, gazing at the approaching vehicle.

At this moment, Chen Mo was not particularly flustered, and he didn't even keep staring at the distant mountains.

Actually, his purpose in mentioning the Battle of Gecheng was not to warn them that they would be watched by people in the mountains during their journey.

Because it's common sense, even if he doesn't remind you.

On the way there, someone will surely remember this incident.

The purpose of mentioning the Battle of Gecheng is simply because the armed criminals in the city at that time used matrix sniping tactics.

Chen Mo had read the complete postwar information disclosure; the group had established hundreds of sniper positions, mainly based on landmark buildings in Gecheng.

Snipers became the main force in hunting down the 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade.

Do you know what this means?

This means that before Unit 131 entered the city, the enemy had already controlled more than 90 percent of the streets, churches, hospitals, post offices, and administrative centers.

The situation is exactly the same as the small team that went up the mountain first.

Chen Mo didn't know which four teams were on the mountain: the Army Command, the Armored Forces, the Staff Officers, the Medical Officers, and two other squads from the Army Academy.

Because Fang Huai didn't say either.

But without a doubt, whichever of the four teams is on the mountain, they will be able to rely on their familiarity with the terrain during the day.

Even the weakest military medical school squad in theory, as long as they know how to use a gun, should be able to find enough sniping spots on the mountain, right?

The number of people in each team is not fixed during the mid-year assessment.

The 30th Squadron's representative team is a 10-person squad, the first cadet squad is a 21-person squad consisting of three classes, and the second cadet squad is a 14-person squad.

Chen Mo remembered that during the weight-bearing assessment during the day, the people from the Military Medical Academy were the first to drop out; there should have been about 12 of them.

The armored academy team, led by Qin Xiaojun, consisted of about 24 people, while the staff academy had the most, with more than 30 people.

If you think about it.

Regardless of which four squads are on the mountain, there are at least sixty people, even if only forty sniper positions are established among those sixty people.

At this moment, the mountain is like a sieve, with firing zones aimed at the area below.

However, it's not unreasonable for Chen Mo not to worry.

Many areas of Cuiping Mountain are training grounds for the Army Academy, and there are definitely more than just one team that is charging up the mountain.

The mountaintop is heavily fortified with firepower, but the terrain at the foot of the mountain is complex. If there really are forty sniper positions on the mountain, then they would have to defend all four sides, right?
If we only attack one side, we can probably eliminate about fifteen sniper positions.

Fifteen people. Fifteen locations.
Chen Mo gazed intently at the mountain. War is a lot like football. If a team controls more than 90% of their possession, then as long as their strikers aren't idiots, they can win.

Currently, the team on the mountaintop has 90% control and passing capabilities. The only way to counter this is to set up decoys at the foot of the mountain and establish a sufficient number of sniper positions.

They lured the soldiers on the mountaintop to fire, thus eliminating their firing positions on their path.

Chen Mo stared at the road ahead and realized that they were getting closer and closer to the foot of Cuiping Mountain. He turned to look at the soldier driving the car.

After noticing Chen Mo's gaze, the other person turned their head away, as if they knew he was going to ask them where to park at the final stop, making their attitude clear.

Faced with this situation, Chen Mo decided not to waste his breath.

He raised his hand and patted the metal sheet of the carriage.

The dull thuds clearly reached the carriage, and Lai Wei, who was resting with his gun, heard the noise.

With a sniper rifle in his left hand, he stood up, pressed his right hand against the back cover of the vehicle, and jumped off the vehicle with a "whoosh." After rolling to dissipate the force, he lay on the ground and used the curb as an obstacle to hide.

Then, using the gun, he lifted the helmet, shook it slightly, and when he heard no more gunshots and the helmet was not attacked, he immediately got up and crouched down.

They quickly disappeared into the night.

One person was missing from the second squad's carriage, but the others acted as if nothing had happened, resting as usual.

Chen Mo's task was to keep an eye on the main road and estimate in his mind that he would tap the carriage every two hundred meters.

The sound reached the cargo compartment, and a veteran would quickly jump off the vehicle at the rear.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Just as Chen Mo noticed the veteran in the driver's seat starting to press the clutch and brake to reduce the car's speed, preparing to drive onto the mountain road.

He seized the opportunity, quickly pushed open the passenger door, and lunged forward to land on the ground to the side.

Then, with a sniper rifle in his right hand, he bent over and, taking advantage of the gap in the view of the mountaintop blocked by the car body, quickly crouched down and crept up the mountain through the bushes along the path.

Ding Zeliang was in the same group as Chen Mo. After noticing Chen Mo's actions, he also jumped out of the carriage.

I went into the mountains with them.

The whole process went smoothly, so smoothly that Chen Mo could hardly believe it.

According to Captain Fang, four of the teams had entered the mountains more than an hour earlier.

The enemy's mission was to snipe other squads charging up the mountain before dawn, so why was there no movement?
However, doubts remain.

Chen Mo continued moving through the bushes, mainly because he dared not stop. The bait on the truck was about to reach its drop-off point, and the terrain in the vicinity was unknown beforehand. If they wanted to counterattack from the foot of the mountain, they had to find a suitable high ground to counterattack from the top.

The foot of the mountain has a very obvious characteristic: there is very little usable terrain. The mountaintop is different; it occupies advantageous terrain and can provide long-range observation and fire support for the future.

If they wanted to fight back, the high ground at the foot of the mountain, which offered a difficult-to-control surveillance angle, was extremely important for every sniper and marksman who had disembarked early.

Chen Mo walked through the bushes for several hundred meters before finding a high vantage point to counterattack.

He immediately lay down on the ground.

Not daring to make any unnecessary movements, only his eyes peeked out from the grass, using night vision binoculars like a high-speed camera to collect information within his field of vision, imprinting every blade of grass and every tree into his mind.

Calculate, observe, verify, monitor.
After a while.

Ding Zeliang, who was holding the flag in his arms, also quietly crawled up to him. He swallowed and whispered, "Damn it, could it be that the squads on the mountain are all under Commander Lu and the medics?"

"The journey has been a bit too peaceful."

"Get ready for battle, the bait will be in place soon." Chen Mo ignored Lao Ding's complaints.

Lying in the mountains, in the quiet of the night, the truck made a lot of noise; you could hear it roaring even from hundreds of meters away.

However, it's time to stop.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch, you better stay away from me if there's a war in the future." Ding Zeliang curled his lip. Although this was just an assessment, and mountain assault was not a real war.

It was at most a small-scale exercise.

However, Chen Mo's approach of using five people as bait to lure the team into exposing their sniping position at the summit in order to create an opportunity for the team to climb the mountain was quite different.

It still gave Ding Zeliang a chilling feeling.

Anyway, he felt that a scholar like Xiucai, who was full of bad intentions, might not love his soldiers like his own children, but he was definitely good at using them like mud.

Chen Mo had no idea what Lao Ding was thinking.

He plucked a blade of grass from the side of him, stuffed it into his mouth, and let the astringent bitterness bloom in his mouth.

crunch.

With a crisp sound, the trucks transporting troops finally reached their destination.

"Get off! Get off!!"

From afar, Wang Bo's clear roar could be heard; this guy was afraid that he hadn't done a good job as bait.

He even made a point of loudly reminding them.

Of course, this also alerted the other members of the second squad who were lying in ambush nearby.

"boom!"

"Bang!! Bang! Bang!!"

As soon as Wang Bo finished speaking, to Chen Mo's surprise, seven or eight firing positions on the mountaintop, which had been silent all along, suddenly opened fire simultaneously.

The sound of a sniper rifle was especially noticeable in the mountains.

Although the Type 85 sniper rifle is made of aluminum alloy and does not produce sparks when firing bullets, the problem is that it is too loud.

Even though Chen Mo and Ding Zeliang hadn't expected the people on the mountaintop to be so impatient and unprepared, they still managed to pinpoint their approximate location using sound transmission.

Chen Mo quickly pulled the bolt to chamber a bullet and adjusted the sniper rifle.

Ding Zeliang picked up his binoculars and quickly observed.

"Found the scholar, direction 11 o'clock, distance 410 meters, wind speed 4, temperature 28, air pressure standard."

"The effective kill range of the Type 85 sniper rifle in the exercise is less than 400 meters."

"Should we proceed?"

Ding Zeliang spoke up hastily.

At that moment, gunfire erupted from all the nearby sniper positions. Wang Bo and his team, acting as bait, lost four of their five members in the first round of shooting.

Meanwhile, the people down the mountain took the opportunity to launch a counterattack against those on the mountain.

Gunshots rang out like thunder, echoing continuously through the open mountains.

"Scholar, our men should have hit several targets. No one hit the 11 o'clock position, probably because they are too far away. There are people retreating from the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions."

"Shall we push things forward a bit?"

Chen Mo remained silent in the face of Lao Ding's suggestion, quietly lying on the ground and aiming at the eleven o'clock position.

Through the binoculars, it was clear that the other person was also a cadet wearing a red rank insignia.

Perhaps he fired a shot downhill earlier but missed the target, and the butt of the rifle didn't support his head, making it a bit tiring to control the recoil. The other person was turning their head to adjust.

These movements were exceptionally clear through the sniper scope.

With this level of combat awareness, even with a sniper rifle, he could never rival a sniper.

"It shouldn't be someone who was promoted to officer and entered the school," Chen Mo muttered to himself.

410 meters does exceed the kill range of the 85 sniper training round, but during firing, the trajectory can be extended by 50 meters by using Kentucky winds for ballistic correction.

Chen Mo kept ignoring Lao Ding because he was calculating the trajectory of the bullet.

Calculation complete, adjustment of mils finished.

He pulled the trigger of the Type 85 sniper rifle with his index finger.

"thumping!"

The sound of the gunfire was deafening, like the firing of a torpedo. Upon hearing the noise, Ding Zeliang instinctively raised his binoculars and looked towards the 11 o'clock position.

He clearly saw that the cadet who had been lying on the ground, adjusting the angle of his neck, was now staring in astonishment at the whites of his eyes that were emanating from his body.

"Holy crap!! You actually hit that?"

Ding Zeliang was stunned once again.

You have to understand, he's a veteran of Night Tigers. He knows the maximum range of the Type 85 sniper rifle better than anyone, and he also knows about ballistic compensation.

But that thing isn't 100% reliable.

"Don't lean on it, let's get out of here."

After hitting his target with a single shot, Chen Mo tumbled to his feet and quickly darted away into the distance.

Ding Zeliang was also awakened and fled in a panic.

Actually, they didn't need to rush at this point; the cadets on the mountaintop were lured out by the decoys one after another, although they managed to snipe several of the decoys.

However, seven or eight firing positions were exposed and were subsequently killed by people below the mountain, which made their men even more panicked.

People even threw out smoke grenades as they quickly fled for cover.

Through this round of confrontation.

Chen Mo basically guessed that the four teams on the mountaintop most likely did not have any members from the Army Academy, at least not the ones guarding their side of the mountain.

Because of the three teams at the Army Academy, the squadron was originally composed of military personnel, while the cadet detachment consisted of personnel promoted from the military.

Soldiers who have undergone rigorous training in the military will definitely not be so incompetent in actual combat.

Having the advantage of timing and location, even with bait, they shouldn't be so easily defeated.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

It was probably the sudden gunfire that attracted the attention of other squads at the foot of the mountain, and the attacks began almost simultaneously.

The entire Cuiping Mountain was filled with gunfire, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location.

After running nearly a hundred meters into the distance, Chen Mo lay down on the ground again.

Click!

The mechanical, violent recoil of the Type 85 sniper rifle was exceptionally crisp as the 7.62 caliber sniper bullet was propelled into the chamber.

Aim, find the target.

The people on the mountaintop were in chaos, and the shadowy figures behind the smoke grenades were very clear.

Slightly adjust the muzzle of the sniper rifle.

Intentionally aimed, unintentionally fired.

boom!
Second shot.

On a mountaintop several hundred meters away, a cadet soldier participating in the operation was fleeing with a gun in his hand when white smoke suddenly appeared from the sensor behind him.

Perhaps this student lacked combat experience; despite being covered in smoke, he could still move as nimbly as an old rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Gunshots rang out from Chen Mo's location, the two shots not far apart. The people on the mountaintop weren't stupid either; there were snipers watching down the mountain.

The enemy, lying prone in the uneven anti-sniper position, quickly observed and tried to locate Chen Mo's position.

Although Chen Mo's evacuation was very fast, he was still spotted by the people on the mountaintop.

Unfortunately, even if we capture it, it's useless.

Before setting off, Chen Mo arranged a saturation sniping tactic for the mountain assault, deploying seven snipers or marksmen from different directions to surround the mountain in a fan shape.

They surrounded and charged, using bait to kill the enemy, slaughtering them as soon as they showed their faces.

As Chen Mo moved, the veterans of the nearby Second Squad were keeping an eye on the snipers on the mountain.

boom!
Before the people on the mountain could even fire, the people below fired first.

The anti-sniper crater is uneven around the perimeter, so bullets can't hit people, but if they hit the ground, the dust they kick up is enough to scare away the enemy.

Saturation sniping: fire one shot and move to a different position, while the others continue to keep an eye on the mountaintop.

The seven snipers and Chen Mo's group shifted positions in a staggered fashion, making their way towards the mountaintop.

The tactics weren't sophisticated, but they still managed to severely damage the firepower network on the mountaintop.

The cadet soldiers have not had real experience in grassroots units, and their battlefield action capabilities and calculation abilities are far inferior to those of veteran reconnaissance soldiers.

On the north side of Cuiping Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, a group of veterans led by Chen Mo were running around happily with their guns in their hands.

Their teamwork was fairly good.

Taking advantage of the time difference, some people were always running and others were always lying in ambush, so that the hilltop had not been able to organize a decent counterattack since the shooting began.

Coincidentally.

As if by some twist of fate, the person in charge of defense on the mountaintop north of Cuiping was none other than Qin Xiaojun, a senior student from the Armored Academy.

He had previously argued with the second squad and threatened to take down Chen Mo and his men.

We don't know how capable this top student majoring in fire command and control engineering is.

But he's got quite a big attitude.

To defend the mountain, this guy even set up a field tent on the summit to command his squad of over twenty members in combat.

Just half an hour ago, he was full of confidence, saying he would rip off anyone who came, and rip off two people at a time.

Now, gunfire erupts.

Our own men retreated step by step. After they took the initiative to shoot and kill four people, their men were like people on a kill list at the foot of the mountain.

They were lined up and sniped.

This caused those who were originally in the anti-sniper trenches to not dare to show their faces, and the gunfire from down the mountain was getting closer and closer, clearly indicating that the enemy was climbing the mountain.

Qin Xiaojun turned his head to look around the battlefield tent. Of the 21 team members, only 12 remained after the first round of fighting, one of whom was still smoking.

He stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with disbelief.

The approaching gunfire fueled his despair.

"Which squad charged up the mountain from the north?" Qin Xiaojun asked through gritted teeth.

But the group of people around him shook their heads in unison, because like Chen Mo, they had been fighting for a long time and still had no idea who their opponent was.

"Damn it, no matter who it is, we absolutely cannot let them go up the mountain to the north."

Qin Xiaojun also became ruthless.

He grabbed the Type 81 rifle from behind, pulled the bolt, and chambered a bullet.

They marched with great pride and high spirits, ready to lead their team in a blocking attack.

"Let's go, even if we have to press it down, we'll press it down until dawn."

Captain Qin was full of confidence. He led the remaining eleven men and took a few steps forward.

A head appeared in the view from the mountainside.

He was then spotted by Chen Mo, who was lying on the ground again, observing the mountaintop.

"boom!"

The fourth shot.

Seeing Qin Xiaojun's stunned expression in the sniper scope, Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's an acquaintance this time."

"Four."

After saying that, Chen Mo got up and continued to change positions, running an "S" shaped route around the mountain to climb it.

And at the very moment Chen Mo stood up.

The second squad had four more marksmen, lying prone in different positions, keeping a close eye on the mountaintop.

Saturation sniping, alternating uphill.

The defenses on the northern mountaintop were completely destroyed, leaving only ten men out of the original twenty-odd armored squad members.

Even the company commander was killed. If they cannot achieve effective fire suppression in a short period of time...

Then their defensive line will soon collapse completely.

The second team successfully reached the top.
