Chapter 252 The Beginning of the War
Liu Lang quickly issued an order, asking Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua to contact all the special forces soldiers who were gathering in Anwupo, and asked them to cruise with Anwupo as the center, five to ten miles away from the main position, and to find the locations of the two artillery brigades that followed the Black Hawk Army.
During this period, the Black Hawk Army Artillery Regiment was basically reorganized at 432, that is, 4 artillery brigades, each brigade has 3 squadrons, each squadron has 2 artillery squadrons, and each squadron has 2 artillery squadrons. In other words, one artillery gang has only 48 artillery pieces, and one brigade has only 12 artillery brigades.
The 12 artillery cannons are basically mountain cannons. The range of up to 6,000 feet and weighing only 500 kilograms is actually one of the excellent works of the Black Hawk Army's military industry. In the play, the Black Hawk Army mainly uses mountain cannons to destroy the firepower points of the Kingdom defenders in the mountains and ridges of the ancient city. The Kingdom army, which lacks long-range artillery, can only be passively beaten, and watch the Black Hawk Army push the 500 kilograms of mountain cannons up the mountain road to advance to a position only one or two kilometers away from the position to destroy their own firepower points one by one and no choice.
Liu Lang dared to defend Anwupo with his troops, although it was because he had built perfect fortifications in advance, and more importantly, because he had two Bofors mountain cannons with a longer range and higher accuracy. Unlike other Kingdom troops, any Black Hawk Army mountain cannon that dared to shoot close to the ground will become the target of Bofors mountain cannons placed 4,000 meters behind the battlefield.
If the Black Hawk Army's 24 mountain cannons do not reach close to shooting and land four or five kilometers away from the position to launch artillery, then the special forces soldiers who are wandering outside the battlefield like a lone wolf, and they will provide the location to the artillery company.
In fact, when the artillery company arrived at the battlefield five days ago, they marked all the positions suitable for cannon shooting in Anwupo, and the special forces only needed to inform the coordinate number.
If you have the intention to calculate but not to mind, and have the advantages of fortifications and the advantages of firepower, it would be strange if the 4th Brigade and two artillery brigades hit each other head-on and not be hit into a concussion.
What's even more terrifying is that Liu Lang is not satisfied with beating the Black Hawk Empire into a concussion. He wants to beat these Black Hawk Empire men who are aggressive but actually have serious strength into big fools.
From the telescope, Liu Lang, who was standing in the trenches of the front line of the company, saw the yellow military uniforms rushing towards Anwupo all over the mountains and fields, and smiled and said, "The Black Hawk Empire is here, and I will send orders to all positions. In the first round of attacks of the Black Hawk Army, except for the class light machine guns that can be fired, the rest of the MG42 machine gun mortars are not allowed to fire without authorization. If anyone scares me away from these little babies, I will eat him raw after the war."
"Haha, I'm afraid that these dozens of us will scare them away when they start a fire." Chi Dakui, who was with him, laughed and then said with a bitter face: "But sir, do you see if you should go to the regiment headquarters? You may need to be in charge there. Just have me here to watch."
"What's wrong? I'm afraid I'll drag you back?" Liu Lang's eyes were still staring at the yellow military uniforms that were constantly gathering in the distance, and said lightly.
"How can it be? Sir, who doesn't know about your skills? Isn't this a gun without eyes?" Chi Dakui explained with a wry smile.
"Get out of your eggs, the Black Hawk Empire's howitzers did not kill me on the battlefield in Haicheng. What can those few small hill cannons do to me? Deputy Chi regiment, now I order you to be in charge of the regiment headquarters in the name of the independent regiment commander to coordinate the wars of the entire regiment. I stay in the company to observe the tactical characteristics of the Black Hawk Army, and provide a more reliable scientific basis for our regiment's future military training." Liu Lang withdrew his gaze and ordered Chi Dakui, who was still persuading, with a face of bitterness and persuasion.
Chi Dakui...
This is unreasonable! If you want to be happy on the front line, just say it, why are you still asking for such a high-end reason?
"Why don't you go quickly?" Liu Lang snorted coldly.
The first level of official position was crushed to death, and Chi Dakui had no choice but to turn around and leave.
There was no salute, not because Chi Dakui was frustrated and tantrums.
Instead, there is a joke circulating throughout the Independent Regiment: If you love that commander, then block bullets for him. If you hate that commander, salute him on the battlefield.
Liu Lang had ordered a long time ago that no one was allowed to salute during wartime, which was already considered a wartime regulation of the independent regiment.
On the battlefield, there are many cases of the superior being shot and killed by enemy shooters because of saluting him.
The Black Hawks were gathering five miles away. After judging by their appearance, they did not plan to take a break and launch an attack after running 80 miles of mountain roads.
This is also a characteristic of the Black Hawk Army. It is believed that the Imperial Army with the spirit of warriors will overcome all fatigue, and the weak kingdom defenders will surely be defeated under their thunderous offensive.
In fact, they have indeed won many victories because of this seemingly fierce and stupid behavior. The Kingdom Army, which had no artillery firepower, was forced to retreat many times in the field battle.
But the Black Hawk Army did not think that the Kingdom Army was defeated by their equipment, and always believed that the Imperial Army's bravery was the key to victory.
They are about to be taught a lesson well, and in front of the independent group that is also not inferior to or even better than their equipment, the so-called bravery will also turn into fear in the face of death.
Major General Yang Huan, the commander of the 4th Brigade, is one of the representatives of the young soldiers of the Black Hawk Army. Yang Huan, 51, has served in the Black Hawk Army since he was 20 years old. From the second lieutenant team leader to the current brigade commander Major General, his experience is not rich.
Although he was also arrogant to take down the enemy's positions with one attack, he did not underestimate the enemy too much. After all, the 2,000 kingdom defenders who were defending in danger were not tofu. He could not damage too much troops here. He also had to maintain his troops to encircle the retreat of the 60,000 kingdom army that shamed the imperial army.
While carefully observing the enemy positions without any movement through the telescope, he asked the Chief of Staff, Colonel Feng Jingyu, beside him: "Have the aviation troops detected what happened?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later!" According to the report of the Aviation Army two days ago, the enemy has established four positions, mostly field trenches. Although they have the advantage of higher mountainous mountains, it cannot resist the power of the mountain cannons of our imperial army." Feng Jingyu replied quickly.
Obviously, the Chief of Staff of the Brigade also did his homework during the march and meticulously recorded the aviation reconnaissance report.
However, he forgot that the cleared top of the mountain and the position on the front of the mountain were boundless, which was very suitable for observation by aviation scouts hundreds of meters above the altitude. However, in the tunnel hidden in the dense woods on the back of the mountain, even the aviation scouts could not see a single hair.
"The stupid kingdom people are just stubborn." After listening to the report, Yang Huan bent a little arrogant on the corner of his mouth disdainfully and said, "After ordering the brigade to launch a tentative attack on the kingdom's main position after 30 minutes of rest, so that their firepower points will be exposed."
"The Brigade Commander, the kingdom guards on that mountain..." Colonel Feng Jingyu asked, pointing to the Divine Corps who had entered the position on the ancient mountain two miles away.
"Hmph, it's just a death place. Where else do I need to use it for my Black Hawk Empire Army? Order the brigade to bypass the lonely mountain and ignore the defenders above. When we capture the main position of the kingdom, they will run away like frightened rabbits. The precious shells of the empire will not be used in useless places." Yang Huan waved his hand, his eyes not stopping on the ancient mountain at all.
In his opinion, the defenders hanging on this mountain about 1,800 feet before Anwupo Pass would not pose any threat to their troops at all.
If they had a cannon, there would be a little possibility.
However, Zhou Shiyu really has artillery and 9 mortars. If you fire with all your might, you can tilt out more than 100 shells within one minute.
