Chapter 193
Republic of Burkina.
Accra,
Accra West Railway Station.
…
“Woo-”
A military train coming from the northwest state slowly stopped beside the platform.
Subsequently,
Soldiers wearing camouflage combat uniforms and holding automatic rifles lined up and got off the train in an orderly manner.
“Each battalion and company should be led away quickly. Don’t stay at the platform!”
“People from the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, use me as the standard, assemble!”
“Reporting to the company commander, our company is expected to have 127 people, and the actual number is 127. Please give instructions!”
“All 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company are here, turn right and back, run and walk!”
Sharp whistles and loud orders resounded throughout the platform.
Since it was daytime, there were many ordinary people preparing to board the train or just getting off the train on other nearby platforms.
Naturally, they also noticed the movement here.
“Strange? Why have troops always appeared at our West Station in the past few months? And there are quite a lot of them at first sight!”
“Didn’t you read the newspaper? Our president is planning to send another brigade of volunteers to the Palestinian area. They are probably the ones.”
“Oh my God! The New Year is coming soon. If you send them there at this time, can’t you wait until they finish the New Year?”
“Looking at the badges on their uniforms, they seem to be from the northern theater, uh… the 4th Light Armored Brigade.”
“Damn it, are your eyes so good? Can you see clearly from such a distance?”
“The 4th Light Armored Brigade? Then they should have tanks, right? Why do they all look like light infantry? They don’t even have door guns.”
“It’s not clear. It may be that this train is specially used to transport personnel, and the train transporting heavy equipment is still behind.”
In the eyes of ordinary people who were either curious, respectful, or yearning… the officers and soldiers of the 4th Light Armored Brigade and the 241st Armored Regiment left the platform.
…
The West Railway Station is only 1 km from Accra Port.
A few minutes later.
The officers and soldiers of the 241st Armored Regiment appeared on the dock of the port.
“Where are the Soviet military transport ships?”
The commander of the 241st Armored Regiment stood at the pier, looked around and found that there were no Soviet military transport ships.
There was a puzzled look in his amber eyes.
Subsequently,
The regimental leader lowered his head and glanced at the military-style watch on his left hand.
The time was 9:10 in the morning, and a full 10 minutes had passed since the agreed time.
“It’s already past the scheduled time. Why hasn’t the Soviet military transport ship arrived yet? Something happened on the way!”
I heard the leader’s concerns.
The political commissar standing next to him smiled and replied: “How could anyone dare to target a Soviet military transport ship? Don’t worry, maybe they drank a few more bottles of vodka before departure, which caused the departure time to be dozens of minutes late. ”
“well–”
The leader sighed.
Then,
He said helplessly: “The Soviets are good at everything, they just like to drink. I heard that in winter, people often fall unconscious on the roadside due to alcoholism, and end up freezing to death!”
“Maybe it’s because it’s too cold over there, so they need to drink to keep their body temperature up, and they accidentally drink too much.”
The political commissar explained a few words.
“But it’s none of our business, after all, they don’t care about it themselves. Let’s talk about business!”
The leader shrugged.
Then,
He continued: “I heard that the comrades of the 1st Light Armored Brigade had a very difficult time fighting in the Palestinian areas. After more than three months, the casualties were quite heavy.
Let’s not talk about our 4th Light Armored Brigade, let’s talk about our regiment! To be honest, the combat quality is much worse than that of the 1st Light Armored Brigade.
So I’m worried that our regiment won’t be able to withstand such a high number of casualties, and something we don’t want to see might happen.
As a political commissar, you must do a good job in ideological work among your comrades during this period to make them mentally prepared, and you must make them clear about what we are fighting for. ”
After listening to what the leader said.
The political commissar smiled and shook his head, and replied: “Hahaha… You are more qualified as a regimental leader than I am as a political commissar! I feel that the Ministry of National Defense should let you be the political commissar, and then I will be the regimental leader.”
“Then forget it…”
Just when the two were discussing how to better do ideological work for the troops.
The Soviet military transport ship finally arrived.
“Suka BuLei! OldI will never drink again… You are wrong! I will never drink so much again, otherwise I will be punished by drinking ten bottles of vodka at once! ”
…
Palestine area.
War zone.
The defense line stationed by the 1st Burkinian Light Armored Brigade and the 113th Infantry Regiment.
131st Infantry Battalion position.
“Whoosh——”
The artillery shells streaked across the sky and landed on the position of the 131st Infantry Battalion.
“boom–”
The shells from the 203mm caliber plus howitzer kicked up dust all over the sky the moment they exploded.
If you look carefully, you can still see some broken limbs blown into the sky, but they are basically the corpses that were there before.
Because there are only a few sentries hiding in the cat’s ear hole on the forward position, and most of the rest are hiding in the safer rear anti-slope position.
Wait until the smoke and dust clears.
All that is left is a deep pit with a diameter of about 8 meters!
But this large-scale shelling lasted less than 5 minutes.
because–
“Whoosh——”
“Whoosh——”
“Whoosh——”
Densely packed Katyusha rockets roared across the sky, heading straight for the enemy’s artillery positions.
Because both sides have gained experience in these three months. Therefore, Katyusha only suppressed the enemy’s artillery positions and did not cause many casualties to the enemy.
Unless the artillery on both sides is positioned well enough to prevent the enemy from bombing, they will usually fire for a few minutes and then move quickly.
“Battal Commander, the enemy ground troops have launched an attack!”
A sentry quickly ran to the rear position through the communication trench and reported the situation to the battalion commander of the 131st Battalion.
“Are you sure this is a real attack and not a feint?”
The battalion commander was very vigilant.
Because some time ago, there was a situation where the enemy ground troops pretended to attack, and after our ground troops entered the position, the enemy artillery continued to fire.
Although there were cat-ear holes on the forward positions to protect against artillery, some casualties that should not have occurred were still unexpected.
“I’m sure it’s a real attack!”
The sentry’s voice was firm.
“good!”
The battalion commander nodded, then turned to the back and ordered: “Commander of the 1st Company, quickly lead your company into the forward position to block the enemy’s ground troops’ attack!”
“yes!”
When the commander of the 1st company answered.
“Huhu——”
Dozens of fighter jets with red stars printed on their wings roared through the sky and flew towards the Israeli-controlled area at extremely fast speeds.
