Chapter 392: Fierce battle against Rocklin City II
The tall and strong man said angrily: "What kind of medicine did the Cossacks take this time? The firepower is so fierce that our trenches can hardly withstand it."
Dong Guicheng said: "Don't say it's useless, hurry up and deepen the trenches." After saying that, he picked up the engineering shovel and dug up the soil. When he saw the squad leader starting to deepen the trenches, the soldiers also took action, and soon half of the trenches were flattened by the bombing.
It's starting to take shape again.
"The enemy is coming up." A soldier serving as a lookout shouted, and everyone immediately threw away the engineering shovels in their hands and picked up their weapons to prepare for a counterattack.
Gao Da Zhuang said with a smile: "These Cossacks are really bad. It took so long for them to come up after the bombardment ended. If they were like us and rushed to the opponent's trench as soon as the bombardment ended, how could we be given so much time to prepare."
Dong Guicheng smiled and said: "You think we can use infantry and artillery to coordinate as one person? Didn't we have to train for a long time before we dare to get so close? These soldiers have neglected training. How can they have the courage to do such a difficult thing just because of their strength?
."
Gao Da Zhuang said with a smile: "That's right. I guess the reservists and militiamen in the city behind won't dare."
Just as they were talking, the dark Cossack soldiers were already approaching the position. Dong Guicheng gave an order, and the soldiers picked up their weapons and started shooting desperately.
The Chinese army's semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and high-speed general-purpose machine guns fired at the Cossack soldiers with intensive firepower, making them unable to raise their heads. However, the opposite side was also equipped with light machine guns, and soon a large number of light machine guns began to confront the Chinese army.
Shoot up.
"Fire team, use mortars." Dong Guicheng ordered loudly, and the two mortars began to call out the Cossack machine guns one by one. A large number of Cossack machine gunners were immediately blown up and turned upside down.
The Cossacks withdrew, but soon their shelling began again. The intensive shelling almost destroyed the small high ground where Dong Guicheng's battalion was stationed. However, the Cossacks rushed up again and encountered intensive fire attacks.
Major General Ivan, the commander of the Cossack Army's attack on this small highland, hung up a phone call to the headquarters. The person who answered the phone was the commander of the group army, General Vasya. "What's going on? It's been eight hours. Why haven't you taken the high ground yet?"
."
Major General Ivan said: "Commander, the firepower on this high ground is too fierce. There are at least two regiments of defensive troops. We cannot attack it."
"Asshole, pigs are stronger than you, don't you have any brains? The high ground is so big, how can you drive thousands of people?" Admiral Vasya said angrily: "I will give you another eight hours, if you can't take it
Come down and I'll shoot you."
After hearing General Vasya's strict order, Major General Ivan gritted his teeth and said, "I will risk my life today. All troops must gather and prepare to attack."
Major General Ivan led the guard company to personally supervise the battle from behind. The infantry of the entire division rushed onto the battlefield and rushed towards the high ground. "There are so many enemies this time." Dong Guicheng looked at the people slowly climbing up the high ground.
The enemy changed the magazine of the submachine gun in his hand, loaded the bullet into the chamber and stood ready.
Gao Dazhuang also put on a new ammunition chain and took aim at the enemy. Several soldiers nearby took out the grenades, unscrewed the caps one by one, and placed them in the most convenient place for them.
The air was unusually heavy, and everyone noticed the difference in this attack. After the soldiers on the mountain started shooting, the Cossack army's artillery started shelling regardless of the safety of their own people. Although our own artillery in the rear position immediately began to suppress it, the number
Too little to create superior firepower.
Dong Guicheng faced the intensive artillery fire of the Cossacks and used his submachine gun to shoot wildly at the Cossack soldiers in front of the position. These Cossack soldiers rushed upward as if they did not know death. The soldiers shot desperately. Dong Guicheng waved his arm and the grenade was fired.
He threw it into the middle of the dense Cossack soldiers. The anti-infantry grenade exploded, and the steel balls contained in it were sprayed in all directions, knocking down a group of people.
Seeing the success of the squad leader's grenade, many soldiers also threw their own grenades. It is very dangerous to throw grenades at such a close distance. It is easy to accidentally injure one's own people, but now both sides are red-eyed. What safety regulations are there?
Can't even care.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the battalion commander ordered the charge horn to be blown. Dong Guicheng was the first to jump up, fired a burst of submachine gun fire, and shouted: "Brothers, charge, drive the old man down."
The tall and strong man jumped up and opened fire with his hot machine gun. Many soldiers also began to rush forward with semi-automatic rifles with triangular bayonets open.
The soldiers stabbed with bayonets, and the squad leaders responded with submachine guns. Even the battalion commander rushed forward waving his pistol. There was chaos on the high ground, and both sides were fighting hard.
It's not that these Cossacks didn't want to retreat, but this time the division commander gave a death order, and there were law enforcement teams behind them with machine guns. Anyone who turned back would die. Anyway, they would die, so it was better to move forward and still have a glimmer of hope.
Although the Cossacks were outnumbered and powerful, the Chinese army's superb assassination skills and indomitable spirit deeply shocked them. With the help of a large number of automatic weapons, the Cossacks finally retreated.
Dong Guicheng jumped back into the trench and gasped for air. He looked around and found that there were only three or four people in his class. Among them, the tall and strong man had a bayonet in his side. He quickly took out gauze from the first aid kit and pressed the wound, shouting loudly
With the ambulance crew.
An ambulance soldier quickly ran over, stopped Gao Dazhuang's bleeding and tied it tightly with a bandage. He comforted him and said, "Brother, it's nothing serious. I'll let the stretcher take you off later. It'll be fine in a month."
Gao Dazhuang shook his head: "As long as the bleeding has stopped, I'd better stay. It should be fine." The rescue soldier did not persuade him. Everyone understood in their hearts that there were fewer people now, so it would be better if one more person stayed on the position.
More power.
At this time, on the outer positions, the entire Chinese army was under tremendous pressure, and every position was attacked like Dong Guicheng and his high ground. "Commander, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, we should withdraw." Deputy Army Commander Fang Mingshun
suggested anxiously.
Cai Tingyuan nodded: "The casualties are indeed huge. If we follow the original plan and introduce the enemy into the city, we should be able to greatly weaken the opponent's artillery advantage."
Fang Ming said along the way: "The commander immediately dragged the main force of our 21st Army to fight. It was really a mistake. The reserves should be sent in first. If our 21st Army is crippled, who can defend Rocklin City?
"
Cai Tingyuan said: "Do you think it will be useful for the reserves to go up? Their equipment is not good and they cannot withstand the opponent's attack. Look at how they have already caused us so many casualties just by using heavy artillery, even before they put into tanks.
, once the chariot comes up we will be in danger."
A note to readers:
I highly recommend Juchen's masterpiece "Emperor Shura", a good book that requires no explanation.
