Chapter 333 Probing the attack(1/3)
Compared with the first and second war zones, the defense zones of the Qi Army's second war zones are very large.
The defense line is long, and the Ergun River is relatively narrow and small, and the water is not deep. Therefore, the first and second river defense lines built by the Third War Zone in the front positions are for the Russian army to see. The positional earthwork is used to attract artillery firepower on the other side of the Russian river.
At the same time, the Qin army was not useless in building the first two defense lines of earthworks. As its own position, its coordinates had long been written into the strike array of the artillery units in the Third War Zone.
Because even the platoons in the front-line combat troops of the Qin army were equipped with mortars, which was the best weapon for mountain offensive and defensive wars, the generals of the 6th army of the Qin army never cared about the caliber of the artillery troops when they were fighting, and they always used it as much as they were!
In response to this situation, the General Staff of the Emperor Qin Cabinet was to concentrate the artillery units at the division level and above in each war zone to use them. Wherever the Russian army attacked fiercely, the Russian army would focus on wherever the Russian army attacked.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking regardless of primary or secondary, no regiment-level artillery was used in each theater. The artillery below the regiment-level was still handed over to the commander of the front-line troops to provide fire support to the front-line battalion and company troops. In addition, the company and platoons and mortars assisted, it is more than enough for defense.
Under the trenches of the Qin army's position, the crisscrossed barbed wire fences protected the position strictly.
The Qin army on the position was ready to fight. The black gun forest revealed murderous aura everywhere.
The Qin army was waiting quietly, waiting for the Russian army to approach, and waiting for the attack order from the regiment command!
"Battery Commander, why haven't you opened fire yet? The flowers I've been waiting for have faded!"
Uh, it seems that Zhang Yunfei's catchphrase has been widely circulated! "Why are you in a hurry? You can fire a few hundred meters away. Can you make a furious? Wait, it's not too late to fire when the Russians get close to within a hundred meters!"
Watching the Russian vanguard troops gradually approaching. When they reached more than 100 meters, the battalion commander suddenly ordered, "Open fire!"
Geek! Geek! Bark and vomit!
The pistols, rifles and heavy machine guns fired together. According to the standard configuration of the Qin army battalion company, the firepower was already very high. In addition, it was a defensive war, and several heavy machine guns were strengthened to the front-line combat troops, making the defense of the Qin army extremely fierce.
The Russian troops who were slowly advancing were in groups. The Russian army's old-fashioned linear queue tactics finally met their nemesis.
After seeing this situation, the Russian vanguard commander who was watching with a telescope below, he was surprised and said: "Damn Qin army, are they hidden here? Order the troops to charge on the whole line!"
As an offensive and defensive war, the huge sacrifice of the attacking party is necessary! Usually the proportion is 4", which means that the Russian army needs to sacrifice four times the number of people on the Qin army's defensive positions before they can seize the position. However, it is obvious that the Russian commander has not realized that the Qin army's firepower is more than ten times that of theirs.
The Russian army, who received the order, screamed and charged in full swing with the excitement of occupying the two lines of defense of the Qin army!
Bark! Tart!
The gunfire was endless, and the Qin army's bullets were tilted densely like raindrops, forming a fierce firepower cover in front of the charging Russian army.
The Russian army charged overwhelmed, and bullets flew by their ears. Every second, the Russian army around them would be shot and fall down!
Although the area of the Russian soldiers who were tall and large invaded by the bombing increased a lot, their charge also increased the degree of advancement.
In just a few minutes, after paying a huge price, the Russian army advanced to a position more than fifty meters away from the Qin army's position.
He was about to rush to the Qin army's position. A trace of his mouth was already revealed!
"But that's it!"
When he finished speaking, the smile of the Russian vanguard commander suddenly disappeared, because the Russian army approaching the Qin army's position was suddenly attacked by the firepower on the side of the Qin army and abandoned them on three sides. The Russian soldiers who were unable to defend themselves had even greater casualties.
The Qin army's positions were arranged in this way, with the front being a staging defensive position, which played a role of blocking step by step. However, on the two wings of the front position, the inverted "heart," the wing attack firepower was built separately.
This firepower point is not on the first two defense lines, and there is no way to build it. After the Russian army crossed two defensive positions one after another, they ignored the firepower of the Qin army's flank ambush.
When the Russian army advanced within about fifty meters of the front position, the flank firepower would take effect. Under the sudden attack, the Russian army was not prepared to defend the flanks, and the huge casualties they suffered could be imagined.
After entering the three encirclements, under the fire of the Qin army's heavy machine guns, they all explained before they could retreat!
At this time, the Russian vanguard troops had no way to retreat. There was only one result in retreating on the battlefield. If you hand over your back to the enemy, the casualties would be even greater.
"Don't retreat! rush forward!" The Russian vanguard commander grinned in anger. He vowed that if he asked him to rush to the Qin army's position, he would definitely kill the Qin army.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of Russian soldiers who had followed him for many years died in an instant. How could he not burst into beans?
The charging Russian troops were forced to distribute troops to cover the flanks and then continued to charge towards the main position.
"Yeah, the effect is good! The Russians have already caught fire!" The battalion commander of the Qin army looked at the Russian army who was already crazy and charged at any cost, and snorted coldly, "Then let's pour some oil on you and let your fire be stronger! Mortars are ready!"
"Yes! Mortar preparation!"
The mortar troops of the Qin army in Gao, next to the battalion command, have already been corrected and ready for the whole army.
"Prepare!" The sightseeing clerk finished. The loading hand opened the ammunition box beside him, took out the mortar shell, held the bullet and flying feathers with both hands. Hovered above the mortar muzzle, waiting for the order.
"Get me the Russian squadron! Four shots!" the battalion commander ordered.
Attacking the middle and back sections of the enemy's stormtroopers is the most powerful means of defensive warfare. In this way, if the Russian stormtroopers cannot connect, the troops in the front will be killed in vain and lose their threat to the Qin army's positions.
"Yes! The target is fierce, the distance is as big as a meter, four are rushing! Let it go!"
As the red flag of the cannon flag soldiers waved down, the loader sent the mortar shell into the mortar gun port, and quickly buried his head with the aimer.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Ten mortars produced waves of white smoke, and Shixu millimeter mortar shells roared over the heads of the Qin army positions. The parabolic ballistic greeted the charge troops in the middle and rear of the Russian army. Wei,! Wei,!!
What sound is this?
After hearing an unknown voice, the Russian army in the back team subconsciously raised their heads, the mortar shell exploded around them.
The power of the Namm mortar is no less than that of the Tianmm mortar camp cannon used by the Qin army artillery. In addition, the shell shell shell is packaged with a turtle shell similar to the grenade, and its lethality after explosion is very strong, especially in the dense Russian stormtroopers.
Boom! Boom boom!
The soldiers in the Russian army's middle and rear team were immediately killed and injured by the bomb. The Russian army was called by the shells, and after the wolf howled, they were lucky to die. If the bomb was missing, but the little legs were not dead at all, and the wailing was everywhere, it would be miserable!
However, even if the Russian army kept howling, no one could hear it. After more than ten seconds, the howling and explosion of the Qin army's rapid shooting drowned out their howlings.
"Bastard, Qin Jun is desperate! At this time, aren't they afraid of hurting their own people?"
The Russian commander shouted angrily. In his opinion, the Russian surfer and Qin's defensive forces were so close, how could they use cannons? Because at such a close distance, shells do not have eyes, and basically the enemy and their own people will be bombarded!
Even the precise artillery shells in later generations cannot be used to strike at this distance, and accidental injury is certain! However, the Russian army did not know that the Qin army had equipped mortars for close-range offensive and defensive warfare!
"Sir, I see that their shells only fall on our heads! They are not injured by accident!"
Is the Qin army's artillery technique so accurate?
The Russian commander was very shocked. At this time, the Russian army's middle and rear team had already left the first echelon. A vacuum of two or three hundred meters wide appeared in the middle and could not connect. The Russian commander closed his eyes dejectedly. He did not want to see the scene of the front vanguard troops being wiped out by the Qin army.
When hundreds of people rushed to the position more than 30 meters close to the Qin army, they were greeted by grenades flying all over the sky and more dense crossfires.
In front of the heavy machine guns of the Qin army, the Russian army rushed over without the support of the follow-up troops, and was harvested by the Qin army like harvesting wheat.
Two Russian soldiers rushed to a place more than ten meters away from the Qin army's position with their last strength, and fell down with despair.
"Banana, you bala! It turns out to be a barbed wire?"
It was so frustrating that in Chinese, they died with their eyes closed.
In one place, the third line of defense of the Qin army, the Sukteyi defense zone of Hubin Prefecture, the trenches with all connections gathered here, and a special treatment regiment command center was built here.
In front of the fixed 6th Army periscope, a lieutenant colonel leader was observing the situation on the front line, "Notify the artillery battalion and immediately launch a devastating strike against the Russian troops on the first and second lines of defense, and order the first and second battalions to launch a counter-charge against the Russian troops on the first and second lines of defense for fifteen minutes! Driving them down the Ergun River!"
On a high ground five hundred meters behind the third defense line, eighteen eighty-mm Krupp camp cannons were arranged there in a row, and there was a camouflage gun position every ten meters away.
"Enter the position!" With the shout of the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, teams of hidden artillery soldiers ran into their respective artillery positions not far from each artillery.
"Recharge all the elements!" The cannon aim quickly corrects the elements, and the ammunition hand opens the ammunition box and takes out the shells. Everything is in order.
"Take four high grounds, and have five preparations!"
The ammunition hand quickly sent the shell into the barrel and closed the gun door and locked it.
"One shot!"
"Second shot is good!"
"Three shots are good!"
"Eighteen guns are good!"
After the deputy gunners of each gun were ready, they stood up to report, while the gunners were holding the cannon rope tightly and waiting for the order.
"Prepare! Let go!" After the red flag raised by the cannon flag bearer lowered, eighteen Krupp camp cannons fired in turn!
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Eighteen cannons roared and the shells flew toward the four high grounds, which was the first and second defense line of the Qin army.
Boom! Boom boom!
The Russian army's offensive was unfavorable. The Russian army, which was the second and third waves, were preparing to reorganize the attack, but unexpectedly, they were attacked by fierce artillery fire again by the Qin army.
Where the shells fell, it was immediately in a mess. The formation organized by the net was destroyed again. The Russian army fled in all directions, looking for hiding.
However, the Qin army's artillery fire was concentrated and knew the position of the position as if it was on the back of the hand. The shells seemed to have eyes and greeted the Russian army! The firepower covered the ground, even if the shells did not hit the head, the debris after the explosion could not dodge.
Nearly 3,000 Russian troops landed in less than an hour were consumed.
What's even worse is that fifteen minutes after the shelling, the Qin army blew the charge. The two battalions of troops launched a counterattack against the remaining Russian troops, completely defeating the remaining Russian troops, and driving the remaining Russian troops into the cold and biting river like driving the animals.
Whoosh swish swish swish!
The Qin army advanced to the shore and still grenades towards the Russian ships on the shore, and after a moment, they exploded all the ferries used by the Russian army.
"Retreat! Hurry! Find cover!" The Qin army's mission was completed, and the company commanders of each battalion immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.
Why? After getting such a big advantage, the Russians on the other side of the strait have long been furious. Now there are no Russian soldiers on the strait. So the Russian artillery can't even greet the Qin army?
Sure enough, when the Qin Army Net retreated to the anti-aircraft artillery hole on the third line of defense, the thunderous artillery shells shot from the Russian positions on the other side were plowed from the first line of defense of the Qin Army to the third line of defense!
It was not until dark that the Russian army stopped shelling. The Russian army was originally preparing to retaliate against the Qin army's shelling operations on the Korean Peninsula, but the Russian army suffered heavy losses. The bodies of nearly 3,000 Russian soldiers were left on the Qin army's positions, and the Qin army suffered more than a dozen casualties. This also gave the Russian soldiers a sense of it. It turned out that this could be fought in war!
