The air assault, which also included artillery fire from the ground, did not last long.
It seemed as if all this was just to teach the 69th Mechanical Brigade and the mecha troops guarding here a lesson.
But it's normal to think about it. The enemy didn't get much intelligence. The meaningless bombing and artillery attacks had no other effect except wasting bombs and artillery shells.
The air and ground artillery bombardment stopped, but the fighting had just begun.
The enemy's ground forces had already arrived at this time.
This time, the enemy also sent out elite forces in order to retake the town of Vick.
Outside the defensive positions established by the 69th Mechanized Brigade, enemy infantry and armored troops have begun to approach.
Teams and squads of infantrymen continued to approach the defensive positions through tactical maneuvers.
The two sides fought back and forth around this area.
The 69th Mechanized Brigade established dozens of small defensive positions around the town of Wick.
There may be hundreds of people on each position, or only a few at the least.
Some are almost permanent fortifications, while others may simply be trenches dug in the wilderness.
But no matter what kind of defensive position it is, it is an insurmountable line of defense for the attacker.
Even if it is a defensive position with only a few people, if you want to take it, you will need to dispatch at least two or three times more offensive forces.
In a small position, the position here is just a few winding trenches dug out.
However, in order to attack this position, the enemy directly dispatched two armored personnel carriers and an off-road truck.
The position was guarded by an infantry squad from the 69th Mechanized Brigade.
The soldiers quickly spotted the incoming enemy, and the squad leader roared loudly: "Where are the anti-tank missiles? Knock down the enemy armored vehicles!"
At the same time, the squad leader was also quickly calling for support: "The enemy has two armored vehicles and a truck, requesting artillery support!"
"Requesting support!"
The topographic maps of the surrounding positions had already been made, and the coordinates around each defensive position had long been compiled into the hands of the artillery units.
It can be said that as long as the coordinates are reported, artillery support can be provided soon.
In the trench, an anti-tank team quickly moved to the appropriate position and then loaded anti-tank missiles.
A soldier suddenly stood up from the trench and used the sighting system of an anti-tank missile to lock onto an enemy armored personnel carrier.
“Squeak!”
"call out!!"
The anti-tank missile ignited quickly, and with a red tail flame, it shot towards the enemy's armored personnel carrier in a twisted and uncertain flight trajectory.
"boom!!"
The anti-tank missile hit the target accurately, landing on the front of the armored vehicle, and the explosion directly set the armored vehicle on fire.
The rear door of the armored personnel carrier was quickly opened, and the surviving soldiers inside jumped down from it in a swarm.
These soldiers were covered in dust and their steps were a little staggering, but they were lucky.
The anti-tank missile hit the front of the vehicle, not the armored vehicle's cabin, otherwise none of them would have survived.
But even if they survived, many of them had blood on their bodies and were obviously not in good condition.
Normally, this armored vehicle can carry at least seven or eight soldiers in addition to the crew members, but only four people can jump out from the rear door.
There is no need to think about the other soldiers. They were either dead in there or seriously injured and unable to move.
The moment a comrade on another armored personnel carrier was hit, the gunner controlled the machine gun in the turret and began to fire, providing fire cover and attack.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The electromagnetic machine gun fired dull sounds, and a series of shells hit the position of the anti-tank missile team, and even the artillery fire continued to extend to both sides.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Machine gun shells continued to explode in the position. The anti-tank team that had not had time to escape far away was now hiding in an anti-artillery hole in the trench.
He curled up as much as possible to reduce the area of attack, and even threw his weapon aside.
“Ahhhh!!”
The loader of the anti-tank team curled up his body, howling loudly, venting his fear.
The machine gun shells just passed over the trench above his head. The shells of this electromagnetic machine gun can directly hit the earth wall of the trench, and the explosion can even blow out a large hole.
Anyone who can remain silent when a shell explodes not far above his head is a true veteran and a ruthless person.
"call out!!"
In the air, a bullet with a whistling sound cut through the air accurately hit the armored personnel carrier that was unleashing its firepower.
"boom!!!"
The moment the shell fired by the self-propelled howitzer came into contact with the armored personnel carrier, a huge explosion occurred.
The reactive armor mounted on the outside of the armored personnel carrier quickly took effect, and the violent explosion and sparks detonated the howitzer prematurely.
This is why the armored personnel carrier was lucky enough not to be directly blown up, but even if it had not exploded, the condition of the vehicle would have been bad.
There was a huge fire burning on the vehicle, and the barrel of the electromagnetic machine gun on the turret was directly bent by the explosion.
Inside the car, the driver's head was covered in blood. Even with a helmet, he couldn't protect himself from injury. Black blood was flowing from his ears, and it was obvious that his eardrums had been severely damaged by the howitzer attack.
He roared loudly towards the back: "Get out of the car quickly, get out and fight!"
"The armored vehicle is going back!"
The infantrymen were also dizzy from the explosion of the howitzer. Some of them even felt their legs go weak and they fell to the ground and started vomiting.
But there were still veterans who opened the door and quickly jumped off the infantry fighting vehicle, rolling and crawling like a gourd.
The scene was extremely chaotic. The soldiers were wearing bulletproof vests and military multi-functional ammunition hangers on their upper bodies, and they had a lot of miscellaneous items on their bodies.
A soldier jumped off the car, staggering, and vomited while holding his helmet while fleeing.
Not only did the soldiers on this infantry fighting vehicle get off quickly, but the soldiers on the armored truck behind it also jumped down like dumplings.
Now the armored vehicles are being hit by howitzers. If they don't jump down, they might be hit by shells at the next moment.
After all the soldiers landed, they either found cover behind the cut earth slope, or ran farther away and then crawled on the ground.
"Da da da!"
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides were firing rifles and machine guns, and the sounds of guns firing and bullets flying were everywhere.
But it is still a little difficult to kill someone with a rifle just by making noise.
The attacking soldiers simply fired towards the trench where the gunshots were heard, and no one was seen.
The soldiers in the trenches were similar, they just had to tuck their heads under and go out to shoot with guns in hand.
