Chapter 486 The Courage of the Farmer
The Black Hawks, who were attacking with all their might, finally showed their strong combat power.
The 8th Division, which lacks heavy weapons, may not be able to fight light weapons than theirs, but they are not only more than enough to fight a group of rebels formed by peasants from the kingdom whose weapons and equipment are similar to theirs, but they are not only more than enough to suppress them, but are almost completely suppressed.
Although Liu Dazhu's three infantry platoons also divided into three directions to help Shang Wenqing's three regiments fight desperately, facing the Black Eagle Army with superb shooting skills, the peasant army under Shang Wenqing's command still suffered heavy losses.
Although the first round of charge of the Black Hawks was repelled by eight mortars in the rear, 300 soldiers from the National Salvation Army fell into a pool of blood.
When the peasant army, who had no combat experience, was hit by bullets three hundred meters away when they were raised slightly higher.
Darkness can no longer be a protective color. The flares of the Black Hawk Army hit the sky as bright as day. It depends on when the Black Hawk Army did not like to fight night battles. Although the Black Hawk Army without planes was weak in combat, it does not mean that their night battle strength was weaker. When the flesh mill in Guado Island competed with the soldiers of the White Eagle Kingdom in the future, there was no Black Hawk Army fighting at night. The Black Hawk Empire holding a rifle also beat the White Eagle Kingdom soldiers with automatic rifles all over the ground.
Until now, Shang Wenqing knew why Li Zaba was afraid. The Black Hawk Empire's gun technique was so accurate that it was simply out of tune. The Black Hawk Army lying in the wild was actually lower than the King's Rescue Army with trenches. After each round of gunfire, there were no one in the trenches to save the Kingdom Army. In contrast, there were not many King's Rescue Army in the trenches.
Moreover, even if there is, Shang Wenqing, who was wearing a telescope and scanning the battlefield with a bitter face, knew in his heart that most of them were the result of Liu Dazhu's battle. He didn't know if any of his 3,000 people had any blind cats and dead mice.
You should know that this group of attacking Black Hawk Army is not considered regular Black Hawk Army infantry, most of which are auxiliary troops such as baggage and artillery.
Indeed, in several fierce battles with the ancient city regiment, the regular infantry of the 8th Division had almost been exhausted. They either went to see the gods or were lying in the field hospital and were humming. Now those who were incorporated into the infantry brigade were all the auxiliary troops they had once been.
Otherwise, the casualties of the National Rescue Army would be even more severe.
In other words, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division at this time was not the previous Eighth Division at all, and at most it was equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a second-line division.
This is not to say that it is because Shang Wenqing's troops are not equipped. A big explosion in Lutongkong buried No. 2,000 people from the Independent Brigade, but the seizure was huge, with more than a thousand rifles and more than a dozen machine guns intact. In addition, the 2,500 rifles, twenty light machine guns, and three heavy machine guns that Liu Lang allocated to Shang Wenqing in Huadicheng. Almost all of them were brought to the battlefield by Shang Wenqing this time, and the bullets were enough, and at least 300,000 rounds were carried.
It is enough to arm the National Savior Army to the teeth, which is basically the equipment of a regular kingdom military, and even exceeds it.
It can be said that Shang Wenqing, who received the task of induced snakes out of the cave, was still full of confidence before. With these treasures, it would be no problem to deal with an 8th Division without teeth, even if the peasant army under his command was weak, it would be better to stick to it for an hour or two!
Not only did he think so, but the officers and soldiers of the national rescue army holding brand new rifles probably also thought so.
But, we arrived at the real battlefield.
I realized that they were really thinking too much.
On the battlefield, equipment is of course important, but the combat literacy of soldiers is even more important.
Even with the same gun, the peasant army would take ten seconds from pulling the bolt to aiming and firing a shot. I don’t know where the bullets flew. The Black Hawk Imperial Army on the opposite side only took two seconds, and it was extremely accurate. Even if it didn’t hit you, it would still shoot near your battle position so that you didn’t dare to look up at random, and you didn’t even dare to aim at aiming. Think about it, how can you fight that battle?
Even if the firepower points of more than 30 light and heavy machine guns and five MG42s are assisted, they are not weaker than their opponents, and they are even more powerful. However, the five MG42s whose firepower is greatly reduced in three directions are not enough to support the entire battlefield.
Moreover, the Black Hawk Army's grenade launcher is too terrible. The Black Hawk Army, which is attacking three brigades on the left, center and right, has more than 70 grenade launchers. The grenade launcher hidden 600 meters away is like fifty or sixty small mortars. Light machine guns often have to be transferred without firing for a minute or two, otherwise the position they stay will be targeted by two or three grenade launchers. The power of two or three explosions is no less than that of two or three grenades. The grenades with two or three grenades will blow it into a sea of fire.
Those who can become machine gun shooters are already the short men of the National Salvation Army who choose generals are considered to be the best military literacy, but there are still five or six light machine guns and machine gun shooters who are bombed into pieces.
You know, this is just a battle of only ten minutes.
If the heavy machine gun fire point was not located behind, sixty or seventy meters away from the front line, and more perfect fortification protection was specially excavated, it is estimated that the heavy machine gun with less mobility would not have escaped the bad luck of being destroyed.
On the other hand, the Black Hawk Army had no trenches or mortars, but their machine gunners were extremely cunning. They moved every time they fired for no more than thirty seconds. Even if they were solemn and wanted to destroy them, they would often not catch up with them.
In fact, this is also the experience learned by the Eighth Division, which lost the cannon, during the fierce battle of the ancient city regiment. Otherwise, when the machine gun fire point is destroyed by the ancient city regiment, only the rifle is left, that would be a big fuck!
The weak must learn. Those who know that they are weak and do not learn will be eliminated by the long river of history.
The Eighth Division, which is still alive and lively, proves that although they are weak, they can learn.
Therefore, after the first round of battle, the Black Hawk Army, which thoroughly tested the strength of "Kingdom Bandits", did not stop and began the next round of attack.
Not to mention that Xu Haiming was bullied by a group of kingdom peasant soldiers, his eyes were blue, even ordinary Black Hawk soldiers were also full of blood.
It’s okay to be bullied by a group of kingdoms with superb mountain cannons and mortars shooting skills, but who can make people stand out? But you, a group of farmers like you, dare not use bean bags as dry food, and it’s simply unbearable.
The remaining soldiers of the Eighth Division held their breath and exerted the strong combat effectiveness of the second-line soldiers of the Eighth Division.
The battle went directly into white heat.
Just twenty minutes later, an infantry squadron on the left wing of the National Salvation Army's position attacked the thirty-meter-meter-long trench area. The soldiers of the National Salvation Army could even clearly see the Black Hawk Empire's yellow big teeth.
However, as Shang Wenqing said, although the National Salvation Army was a dish, and although they had just picked up the gun for a few days, they could never deny their courage.
They are not "bandits", but a group of people who want to seek revenge on the Black Hawk Empire.
If it were a bandit, at this distance, I'm afraid the fighting will have collapsed long ago. The consequence of turning around and running away was naturally the ruthless shooting of the guns and bullets behind it.
Li Jianba, who was on the front line, was sweating heavily and was stiff all over. He didn't know how much courage it took to restrain his urge to turn around and escape. At this time, if someone around him took the lead in running, his company commander might have run faster than everyone else.
But the new recruits under his command showed unexpectedly bravery.
Facing the Black Hawk Army's guns that had already been lit up, the soldiers stood up straight, and even though the guns penetrated their chests, they still firmly threw out the grenades in their hands.
"Boom, boom"
Grenades were exploding everywhere in front of and on the positions, some were thrown in by the Black Hawk Empire, some were thrown out, and some were hit by bullets in their arms and dropped into the trench before they could throw them in their hands.
Outside and in the trenches, one was killed or injured.
Extraordinary courage defeated the steel balls and fragments flying everywhere in the grenade.
The Blackhawk Empire's infantry squadron was blown away, and the trenches did not fall well. In just two or three minutes, at least fifty people were injured and killed by the bombing.
A hand-to-hand battle of throwing grenades at each other, miraculously a group of kingdom farmers won the victory.
Company Commander Li Jieba, who also bit his cheeks and threw at least three grenades, finally understood a truth: when fighting, it's a big deal to see who dares to play with his life.
Those who dare to play with their lives may die, but those who dare not, they will die.
