"Xiaoshan, you said this is a crazy weather. It's so foggy that you can't see anyone more than a hundred meters away. The enemy suddenly rushes out. What should we do?"
In the trench below the machine gun fort, two soldiers from the second squad of the third platoon of the company were huddled behind the sandbags, looking forward with their heads in the air.
"I don't know, if we set it on fire in the countryside, it would definitely burn out a field of view of more than 100 meters." Hou Xiaoshan moved the Chinese rifle in his hand to a more comfortable position, and checked himself
There was a grenade storage hole underneath, and I relaxed a little bit from my nervousness.
Hou Xiaoshan is more like a monkey, while his cousin Wu Peiqiang is more honest and burly. They both inherited the blood of father and son from two families. From school to soldier, the two have always been together.[
While he was talking, he saw a sudden burst of fire two hundred meters in front of the position. A few gasoline-lit fire piles instantly dispersed the heavy fog in the surrounding area into the distance. The front of the position, which originally had less than a hundred meters of sight, was visible.
, finally provided the soldiers with a shooting depth of 200 meters.
Lifting the helmet on his head with his right hand, Wu Peiqiang touched his cousin with the crutch of his right hand, "I say Xiaoshan, after this battle, you have to deal with that girl. I looked at those grandsons in the technical school and pointed
Maybe one day my little brother and sister will be fooled and run away."
"Don't worry, cousin, you don't know my luck. Not only can't you bite me, but when I put a strip on my shoulder and carry me back, that girl will definitely not be able to escape." Thinking of his ambition, Hou Xiaoshan subconsciously
He touched a booklet in his arms. His eyesight was a little poor and he didn't get admitted to the military academy. It was his biggest regret in his life. The infantry textbook in his arms was borrowed from the library, although it was not used by the Chinese Military Academy.
It is a textbook, but the old man in the library told himself that John Fuller, the author of "A Brief Discussion of Infantry and Mechanized Warfare", is a powerful person.
He felt that many things in the book were confusing and could not be understood. He only understood one thing: in infantry warfare in the new era, the most powerful and advanced weapons should be concentrated to the maximum extent to cause the greatest damage to the enemy's physical strength.
Maximum damage.
Eight meters away from him was a 21-year-old light machine gun. This kind of light machine gun that can fire Chinese-style rifles is very powerful. In his opinion, perhaps the most concentrated heavy machine gun can be considered to be in line with Fuller's
Viewpoint.
"That's true. During training, you didn't even get a scratch on your skin. The last time you fought the bandits, you took the credit from the sniper rifle and killed their leader with one shot."
"The first company should be on alert, the enemy will rush over soon."
Wei Yuanlun, the commander of the 11th Division, is an unacademic guy. Speaking of which, he has some relationship with Wu Xuexian. When he was still the battalion commander, he was ordered to wipe out Wu Xuexian. As a result, after more than ten years, the bandits were not wiped out. He
The official's suppression became more and more severe.
"Damn it, that bitch Miao Renyi actually asked me to take the lead." Wei Yuanlun had a big bald head and two Mauser pistols on his thick armed belt. He grabbed the telescope on his chest, but unfortunately there was nothing in front of him.
It was foggy and nothing could be seen. "Adjutant, what are the results of the reconnaissance?"
"Reporting to the division seat, the person who just conducted the investigation came back and reported that the enemy has dug many trenches and is burning gasoline to drive away the fog." Unlike Wei Yuanlun, this adjutant is a truly qualified military academy graduate and an infantryman from the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall.
"Teacher, I think this Zhang Shusheng is already on guard. It's better to take advantage of the foggy weather and rush over at one go. As long as we enter the city and Miao Renyi's people follow up, they will be the turtle in the urn."
"How many heavy machine guns does the opponent have, and do they have cannons?" Although Wei Yuanlun was a bit of a bastard, he was not an ordinary person who could make a career by suppressing bandits. At least as a division commander, he still knew the power of heavy machine guns and cannons.
"I didn't see any heavy machine guns or cannons. The fog was too heavy and my telescope could only see some light machine guns similar to those equipped by Tang Governor's elite troops."
"Well, it's just a militia. It's enough to have a few light machine guns to scare bandits. It also has some heavy machine guns at best. As for the cannons, I only have a dozen cannons. What can a militia have?"
Wei Yuanlun put his hands on his hips and ordered his adjutant to record the combat order: "I will only charge the first and second regiments, while the third regiment will be left as a reserve. I will blast the artillery company and mortars together."
After giving the order, Wei Yuanlun's 11th Division quickly took action. This unit, which had been fighting bandits for many years, still had some combat effectiveness. It was organized as a regiment and began to charge.
Everyone felt that this was a battle without any suspense. They rushed out in the heavy fog, and the opponent was just a militia group with shotguns and cannons. After fighting the county seat, they might still be able to catch lunch.
The baggage company responsible for artillery transportation has used pack horses to pull the artillery troops to the position. Four 75mm field guns with smooth rifling, three mountain guns, and several 81mm caliber Chinese-made mortars. This is the first
All the belongings of the 11th Division were lost.
"Hey~——"
When the first artillery shot flew from the position of the 11th Division, a militia scout holding a camouflage telescope in the distance also picked up a thick and bulky intercom next to him, "Flying Fox report, Flying Fox report, enemy artillery position
The direction is..."[
"call out……"
When the first cannon roared over the city wall and hit a grocery store in the county town, the battle of Xundian officially started.
"Report to the division commander, the special forces have discovered the enemy's artillery position!" A communications staff officer quickly walked into the lobby of the militia's temporary headquarters in the county government holding a document.
"Order the artillery battalion to fire, and at the same time ask the scouts to cooperate with the calibration."
"yes!!"
When the first artillery shot flew overhead, Wu Peiqiang, like all the soldiers of the first company, hid in the trench. When he heard the explosions coming from the city behind the artillery far and near, he realized that the artillery fire was too high.
"Xiaoshan, you have to be careful later. These are not bandits, they are regular troops." Wu Peiqiang pulled the gun bolt with a clatter. When the cannon went off, the enemy would come up immediately.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Immediately behind the first field artillery shot, several more rounds came flying. Two of them still fell into the city, and one hit the city wall, causing rubble to fly across the old city wall.
, after the gunpowder smoke cleared, a two-large pit was revealed on the stone wall of the city wall.
With a loud bang of "Boom!!", a 75mm field gun landed on the second defensive position without stopping. In the huge explosion, the fragments caused by the explosion of the gun scattered instantly.
Although the trenches blocked the power of the artillery bombardment, the artillery blasted away several sandbags and then blew three soldiers into the air, causing the first casualty from the artillery bombardment.
"It's over, dead!" Hou Xiaoshan shrank his head, wishing he could hide his whole body under the helmet. This is the first time that the militia troops have experienced the baptism of artillery. Compared with the air blasts that were so close at hand before, the
Three living lives instantly turned into flying corpses, all of which indicated that a terrible war had begun.
"Follow the usual training. Cannons are not scary. The more afraid of death, the easier it is to die." Company Commander Gu Tianfeng was the first to yell, and then everyone along the nearly 300-meter defense line
The company commander also began to reprimand his soldiers.
"Miao Renyi is a bitch, he bullied us into having no guns, right?"
Zhang Shusheng punched the table hard, picked up the special steel helmet hanging in the war room, waved away the people who blocked him, and walked out of the temporary division headquarters: "I want to personally see the artillery battalion blow these idiots into the sky."
Before he reached the specially fortified observation bunker on the city wall used by the staff and signal troops, he heard a rapid roar of cannon flying behind him.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Judging from the density of artillery, there were at least five 105mm caliber heavy artillery and a dozen 75mm field artillery firing together. According to the location of the enemy's 11th Division received by the artillery battalion, the careless enemy's 11th Division would never have thought that just every
The door cannon fired once, and then there was a counterattack from the militia artillery battalion.
Lying on the observation port of the city wall, Zhang Shusheng could already see through the telescope that enemies were beginning to appear on the mountain col 200 meters in front of the company's position.
He had only seen artillery battalion training. In his previous life, he had often read in books about a certain battle involving hundreds and thousands of artillery salvos, but he had no intuitive impression of the destructive power that a salvo of 20 artillery pieces could produce.
The most intuitive thing is that after the militia's artillery flew over a distance of more than four miles and hit the hilltop where the enemy's 11th Division artillery company was located, until the enemy's artillery sound ended, there was only the short mortar sound of "Boom, boom, boom..."
.
The soldiers of the Flying Fox Squadron of the Special Forces put down their binoculars. The artillery position on the hilltop in the distance had been destroyed. Dozens of artillery rounds completely destroyed the enemy's 11th Division artillery company, which was unaware of the situation and had almost never suffered an artillery battle.
[
"King Fox, King Fox, I am Flying Fox. The target has been accurately destroyed."
"Company Commander, the enemy is coming up." The signal soldier next to Gu Tianfeng had the sharpest eyes and was the first to spot the enemy who had just emerged from the fog 200 meters away. These enemies had their legs tied and their clothes were in tatters. Most of them were holding Hanyang-made weapons.
The impact was very fast, as if it wanted to catch the defender off guard.
From the perspective of the soldiers of the 11th Division, this was an easy mass charge. As long as they broke through the city wall, Zhang Shusheng's militia would be finished.
"Heavy machine gun squad fire!" At a distance of 200 meters, Gu Tianfeng did not hesitate and directly ordered the heavy machine gun to fire. If he waited a distance and then fired, the enemy's running guns could actually threaten the militia soldiers in the trenches.
.
"Ta da da..." "Ta da da..." "Ta da da..." "Ta da da..." "Ta da da..." "Ta da da..."
The six machine gun fortresses of a company are strengthened to fire instantly. The principle of firepower allocation of the militia is to concentrate superior firepower to attack the enemy. When the logistics pressure is not great, the names of soldiers will never be exchanged.
For the enemy's 11th Division, whose artillery power is quite weak, it is most practical to eliminate the enemy with a heavy machine gun fortress designed to concentrate on the ground.
The heavy machine gun that had had its metal chain replaced, with the cooperation of the shooter and the three shooters, fired a series of life-threatening heavy machine gun shots. In the slightly foggy weather, one by one, people were protruding from the ground in front of the fortress.
A tongue of flame more than a foot long, and a 792mm large-caliber heavy machine gun penetrated into the enemy's body in just an instant, directly tearing each forward body into two pieces. Some unlucky ones were even killed by those who had just penetrated themselves.
The person's bullet hits him again, making a big hole, or taking away a part of his body.
"Aim and hit everyone!!"
Gu Tianfeng pulled out his Mauser pistol and was the first to fire. Although the distance of 200 meters was difficult for a pistol, the subsequent volleys of Chinese rifles became another heavy machine gun.
Soul Envoy.
"Bang bang bang..."
The power of the Mauser rifle was originally enough to hit hundreds of meters away, but within a distance of less than 300 meters, when used by this group of soldiers who had undergone the most arduous training for several years, the first shot often hit the enemy accurately.
Some people were even hit by two or three bullets at the same time.
Slightly later than the heavy machine guns and rifles, the battalion mortars were strengthened for the first company. The six 81mm mortars fired three rounds of rapid fire.
"boom!"
At such a close distance, the infantry of the 11th Division had no place to hide. There was not even a blade of grass within 300 meters of the front edge of the open position. They could only hear the sound of short artillery fire, and then they were hit by mortars firing in a curve.
Cannon range hit.
It exploded, and the killing effect within the explosion range was quite satisfactory. There were corpses flying everywhere, as well as stumps and broken legs. There were not even cries of pain. The front edge of the dense position was full of corpses flying everywhere.
The enemy's 11th Division battalion, which was at the forefront, was almost completely lost in just one minute.
To be continued...
