The Golden Triangle area is mostly composed of rolling mountains, and the scale of several urban areas is not very large.
Except for the slightly more prosperous city center, most areas seem relatively backward.
Anlai's forward positions were set up around the surrounding checkpoints. Most of the positions were hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests, with deep trenches crisscrossing them.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers, armed with simple weapons and equipment, were waiting in the trenches.
This is a distinctive feature of the Golden Triangle region: backward countries lack advanced weapons and equipment.
Most of the battles here still rely on manpower to charge and capture the enemy formations to determine victory or defeat.
The command headquarters was located deep in the mountains. Chen Ping led the Long Yan Special Forces to arrive at the command headquarters first.
Li Xin had already arrived at the command headquarters one step ahead.
Seeing Chen Ping coming with his men, he immediately hurried to greet them.
"Captain Chen."
"General Li, how is the situation?" Chen Ping asked eagerly about the battle situation as soon as they met.
Li Xin said solemnly: "The coalition forces of Luo Kun and Qin Yong are on the other side of the mountain. They probably have more than 10,000 people, far more than us in terms of numbers."
"Numbers do not determine the final outcome."
"Captain Chen is right. With the rocket launchers provided by Daxia, I am very confident that we can capture the enemy's position. As long as we take over the battlefield on the opposite side, our army will be able to advance straight in and capture Quecheng."
"Um."
Chen Ping and Li Xin entered the command center together and began to discuss the battle plan seriously.
Li Xin's battle plan was based on manpower, first conducting an artillery bombardment and then launching a charge. It was simple, direct and clear at a glance.
This tactic is indeed adapted to the actual situation in the Golden Triangle region.
The three forces in the Golden Triangle probably only have a total of tens of thousands of people, and their weapons and equipment are quite backward.
A war of this scale can only be considered a small battle on a global scale.
Chen Ping's Dragon Flame Special Forces will not participate in the war in the early stages. After all, this is not a battle of Daxia, so there is no need to serve as cannon fodder.
That evening.
The night is like a heavy black curtain, covering the frontline battlefield. The Golden Triangle in winter is filled with a slight chill at night, and the cold air is filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, dazzling flames burst out, instantly breaking the silent night.
"Enemy attack..."
All the soldiers on the front line suddenly became nervous. They watched the shells flying across the trenches and hurriedly hid in the air-raid shelters.
The shells were fired from the opposite artillery positions, including 105mm howitzers and 85mm cannons.
These artillery pieces were purchased from the Russians in the 19th century. You have to know that for Luo Kun and Qin Yong, every time one of these shells is fired, one less.
Most of them are close-range mortars, which are also the mainstream weapons in the war in the Golden Triangle region.
In an instant, shells poured down on the battlefield like dense raindrops, and exploded as soon as they hit the ground.
The battlefield was instantly ablaze with flames and explosions one after another.
Deafening explosions echoed through the dark night sky!
After the explosions stopped, the soldiers' screams and cries of pain followed.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, making people feel suffocated.
The urgent news of the artillery attack on the front was immediately conveyed to the command headquarters deep in the mountains.
When Li Xin learned that an attack had been launched against him, he immediately called everyone to discuss countermeasures.
Chen Ping was also among them.
"The war has already begun. There is no room for evasion."
"The soldiers on the front line must hold their positions firmly."
"Let our artillery immediately strike the enemy positions."
Li Xin gave the order without hesitation.
As soon as the order was given, someone immediately picked up the phone and conveyed the order to the artillery regiment.
The command center suddenly became very lively, and everyone gave orders to the troops below to attack.
Li Xin relied on 300 Type 63 107mm rocket launchers supported by Daxia, with a range of more than 8,000 meters. Moreover, it was easy to transport and had high strike accuracy.
Although the Type 63 107 rocket launcher is still in use in Daxia, it has been gradually phased out.
However, the Type 63 rocket launcher is popular in many parts of the world, for example, the Middle East and Southeast regions are very fond of it.
Therefore, this type of artillery is also called the "evergreen tree" and is still active on battlefields around the world.
The reason why Daxia provided this kind of artillery shells was that it was considered suitable for small-scale battles in the Golden Triangle region.
Moreover, Daxia has exported this type of rocket launcher to various countries in the world. Even if Li Hui used this type of artillery shell, it cannot be proved conclusively that it was supported by Daxia.
All we can say is that Li Hui purchased the Type 63 rocket launcher from Daxia.
Three hundred Type 63 rocket launchers were considered quite luxurious for Li Hui.
You have to know that Luo Kun and Qin Yong’s 185 howitzers and 85 cannons total only about 100.
Moreover, their shells were extremely precious, and every time they fired one, there was one less.
Take their military equipment for example. Their artillery is not even strong enough to effectively coordinate infantry warfare.
On the contrary, Daxia's military assistance this time is enough for Li Hui to launch firepower attacks at will.
This is the irreparable damage caused by the gap in strength.
As the order was issued, the artillery regiment near the headquarters quickly aimed 300 Type 63 rocket launchers at the enemy positions.
The artillery regiment also has military experts from Daxia to guide them after precise positioning.
The commander shouted at the top of his lungs, "Release."
Three hundred rocket launchers fired simultaneously, and countless rocket launchers streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, as if a dazzling meteor shower was pouring down towards the enemy's position.
With the naked eye, the opposing position was instantly engulfed in a raging sea of fire.
The soldiers hiding in the position saw how powerful their rocket launchers were. They all showed excited expressions and stared at the rocket launchers flying over their heads.
The soldiers on the opposite side had no idea that Li Hui possessed such a powerful force. Rocket launchers bombarded the position one after another as if they were free.
The full-scale artillery shells exploded all over the battlefield, and the huge explosive force blew their battlefield into pieces.
Even if you hide in a trench, you can't escape the tragic fate of being blown to death.
Daxia's strong military assistance became Li Xin's solid confidence, and the shells continued to bombard for nearly half an hour.
The enemy positions were bombed into a scorched earth, and before the full-scale battle even started, the enemy had already suffered heavy casualties of more than 10,000 people.
After the shells stopped bombarding, Li Xin immediately ordered the army to launch an attack without hesitation.
The soldiers on the front line had suffered heavy bombardment from heavy artillery shells, their morale was low and the losses were extremely severe.
But after the continuous bombardment by rocket launchers, their morale is now high, and there is a burning anger in their hearts.
As Li Xin's order was issued, the soldiers hiding in the positions rushed out of the trenches without caring about their own lives.
Soldiers in all directions rushed down the hillside from various battlefields and launched a fierce attack on the opposite hillside like a surging tide.
The mountains and plains are filled with charging warriors, with great momentum.
The coalition forces on the opposite hill were originally the ones who initiated the attack, but their plan was completely disrupted by rocket launchers.
After half an hour of dimensionality reduction attacks, the position had become a scorched earth, and a large number of soldiers were blown to pieces before they even saw the enemy.
The battlefield does not give anyone time to prepare. The charge after the bombardment quickly pulls them back from their fantasies to the cruel reality.
Seeing the enemy getting closer, the survivors had to pick up their weapons and rush out of the air-raid shelters to stop them.
War is a brutal fight to the death. If you want to survive, you must defeat the enemy.
Therefore, even if the enemy position suffered a devastating blow, they still quickly organized an attack.
At the front of the position, bullets flew across the area like locusts.
The charging soldiers suddenly fell to the ground while running. No one cared about the fallen ones, and the survivors just continued to charge forward bravely.
Soon, the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle at the forefront.
The sound of gunfire was like the roar of ferocious beasts in the dark, and the firelight illuminated the soldiers' hideous and distorted faces.
Both soldiers' eyes were already bloodshot, the battle was becoming more and more intense, and they fell into a bloody chaos.
