Chapter 270: 270, Qing Zhen set me up!

Ma Kai could not comprehend only one question at this moment: Why had Qing Shi obtained their 313 defensive map?

What was a defensive map? It was the illusion and reality of a defensive position.

Sometimes enemies launch an attack, and just to find a breakthrough point, they would worry for days, not knowing where to aim their heavy weapons, wanting to cover everything but unable to do so.

Under normal circumstances, colder commanders would directly use cannon fodder to probe the illusion and reality, and merely figuring out where the heavy firepower was positioned would cost thousands of lives.

Yet now, Qing Shi seemed to know the truth from the very beginning, and even knew where the short-range air defense missiles of the 313 position were deployed.

Short-range air defense missiles were expensive, so they could only be placed in key positions to prevent important positions from falling instantly under artillery fire.

However, Qing Zhen had immediately poured a large number of mortars as if they were free, exchanging cheap mortar shells for short-range air defense missiles.

If Ma Kai and the others had known about the leak of the defensive map, the deployment of short-range air defense missiles would certainly have been more conservative, but they didn't know!

How could they know that the so-called heroic battalion commander was actually Qing Zhen's most valued spy now, and the defensive map was handed over as easily as that...

This sudden barrage of mortar shells had nearly exhausted the short-range air defense missiles of the 313 position!

It must be said, Qing Zhen's move was truly despicable.

The defensive map was too important; originally, Qing Zhen had planned to open a gap from the 319 position, but the appearance of the defensive map made him immediately change his strategy.

If Qing Zhen had not had the defensive map, those mortar shells would have been largely wasted, but now with the defensive map, he could achieve a more precise strike, leaving the short-range air defense forces in a state of panic.

Although Li Shi's military development and talent reserves had been good in recent years, they had basically not experienced large-scale wars. Even Ma Kai, who had thoroughly studied warfare, was just a novice.

No matter how comprehensive a person's theoretical knowledge was, applying it in practice required time and lessons.

Unfortunately, they were facing Qing Zhen, who did not intend to give them time to grow.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu led the heroic battalion on the position, their location on a small hill with small bunkers and heavy fortifications, while in front of them was a 43-degree slope.

Ren Xiaosu crouched behind the fortifications and looked down, while the heroic battalion soldiers beside him clutched their weapons and trembled.

Li Qingzheng listened to the endless artillery fire in the distance and asked with a trembling voice: "Commander, will Qing Shi bomb us with mortars? We can't withstand that!"

"What's there to fear?" Ren Xiaosu said: "Isn't it still not bombing yet!"

At this point, Qing Shi soldiers were already approaching the mountain below, and Ren Xiaosu estimated their numbers, perhaps over a thousand, which was an entire infantry regiment.

"Shall we fight?" Li Qingzheng asked.

"Fight, of course we should fight. We occupy the advantageous terrain, why not fight?" Ren Xiaosu said: "Wait until they get closer!"

"If they get closer, the distance will be enough for them to throw grenades!" Li Qingzheng panicked.

"Don't panic, everything is under control," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.

The next moment, Qing Shi's infantry regiment had reached the halfway point of the mountain, and Ren Xiaosu suddenly roared: "Fire!"

The four heavy machine guns in the bunker spewed fire tongues, and each machine gun bullet sent mud flying on the mountainside. One bullet hit a man's arm, and the arm was severed on the spot!

Qing Shi soldiers tried to charge upward, but they couldn't make it up. They tried to shoot at Ren Xiaosu's position, but the advantage of the fortifications was too great.

Under normal circumstances, in modern warfare, such high ground is usually handled by charging forward, waiting until they reached a sufficient distance, then using laser-guided precision to call in artillery strikes.

This laser guidance was used to locate the missiles for the rear.

They had already fought their way up, and a soldier holding a laser-guided machine had been aiming at the position for a long time, but no fire support arrived...

The battalion commander was momentarily overwhelmed: "Qing Zhen betrayed me!"

In fact, he was well aware that he was Qing Yun's direct descendant, and recently had not fully cooperated with Qing Zhen's operational plans. Qing Zhen must have wanted to eliminate him quickly.

But he had not expected Qing Zhen to be so treacherous, daring to use the outcome of the war to harm him. What if this position couldn't be taken and affected the overall situation?

But he didn't know that Qing Zhen had no intention of capturing this position at all, because Qing Zhen and Ren Xiaosu had a deal!

"Commander, what do we do now?" a soldier shouted under the heavy fire from above.

"Use RPG rockets!" the battalion commander roared.

With a bang, a soldier carrying an RPG was blown away, and the rocket had exploded before it could even be launched!

"Commander, what do we do now!"

"Charge forward!" the battalion commander gritted his teeth: "Charge forward and use grenades to blow open the position. This is our only way out. The garrison here shouldn't be too many; we still have hope!"

The brute-force method to break through high ground was to throw grenades. Once the attacking soldiers reached a certain distance, they would throw grenades to bomb the position, and the people on the position would not be able to withstand it.

That was why the importance of grenade throwers in the army was emphasized in the past; whoever threw grenades accurately would have meat to eat.

Of course, after advanced firepower, this method was gradually phased out, unless in extreme situations.

The rocket launcher was broken, and only when they reached the halfway point did they realize there was no fire support...

The battalion commander was in despair; Qing Zhen had forced him to use such a primitive method...

In the unit, several brave grenade throwers immediately continued to break through upward. When they reached the designated distance, the grenades were thrown!

Everyone on the mountainside was stirred up; the garrison on the mountain also lacked experience, and they had actually been broken through to the point where grenades could be thrown!

As a result, after waiting for a long time, the thrown grenades made a sound, but it was very small...

The battalion commander was a smart man, so upon hearing the sound, he was enraged: "Qing Zhen, you villain, you have gone too far! You actually gave us training grenades!"

Training grenades were not models, but had minimal power, only producing a sound without causing effective casualties.

They looked exactly the same...

The battalion commander was almost crying. Only now did he realize that Qing Zhen's treachery was relentless, leaving no way out!

Ren Xiaosu was shooting one bullet after another on the slope, as if reviewing his advanced marksmanship skills. The automatic rifle somehow gave him the feeling of a sniper rifle, each shot hitting an enemy with precision.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu also said to Li Qingzheng: "You see, we are the heroic battalion. The Qing Shi forces on the opposite side can't pose any threat to us."

Li Qingzheng believed it immediately, because he also felt very relaxed.

At this time, the other soldiers of the heroic battalion discovered that war didn't seem so terrible after all...
