Chapter VI Ambush Plan
"Report to the platoon commander, according to our reconnaissance, the army sweeping the village should be the Tsarist army, the number of which is about seventy to eighty people, the weapons are mainly rifles, and no heavy weapons have been found. β
Luo Yue nodded, and said to the three squad leaders of the platoon, Wang Tie, Li Lixin, and Zhang Zhengjie: "If there are only seventy or eighty people, we should be able to deal with it, immediately report to the Yueyang ship, all squads must be ready for battle, and as soon as the command gives an order, we will act immediately." β
Although there were no professional scouts in the platoon led by Luo Yue, the basic reconnaissance mission could still be completed, so after going ashore, Luo Yue sent three soldiers to sneak into the vicinity of the village to reconnoiter the identity and number of enemy troops, and the situation of weapons, while the others gathered at the place where they went ashore to listen to the He brothers talk about the geography and layout of the village, and prepare for a possible battle.
Although the result of the reconnaissance is that the number of Russian troops is about 70 to 80 people, almost three times that of the whole platoon, if it is in modern society, in the absence of other support, even against the enemy with backward weapons, this battle is basically not fought, because in modern society, even if it is an irregular army, but basically can popularize AK47 assault rifles, although with other countries' main assault rifles, such as M16 assault rifle series, FAMAS assault rifle series, AUG assault rifle line, There is a generational gap in the QBZ-95 assault rifle series, but it is still a competition. Compared with the infantry weapons of this era, it is a cross-era difference, so Luo Yue thinks that he can still fight this battle.
The armament of a marine platoon is the same as that of the first and second squads, and the whole squad is divided into two machine gun groups and a bazooka group, with three people in each group, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader each have a machine gun group, and each is equipped with a machine gunner and a machine gun deputy. The squad leader and deputy squad leader are equipped with a QBZ-95 assault rifle and an external gun grenade launcher with 4-6 rounds of grenades, the machine gunner is equipped with a QBB-95 squad machine gun, and the machine gun deputy is equipped with a QBZ-95 assault rifle without an external gun grenade launcher; the bazooka group has a bazooka driver with a 69-1 type 40 rocket launcher and two bazooka deputies, equipped with a QBZ-95 assault rifle and no external gun grenade launcher.
The third squad also has two machine gun groups, with the same personnel and weapon configuration as the first and second squads, but the other group is a sniper group, with one sniper, equipped with a QBU88 5.8mm sniper rifle, two sniper deputies, equipped with a QBZ-95 assault rifle, and no external gun grenade launcher.
The platoon of 28 men was equipped with a total of 19 QBZ-95 assault rifles, seven external grenade launchers, six QBB-95 squad machine guns, two 40 rocket Janes, and one QBU88 sniper rifle, which was enough to fight lightly armored targets, and in this era, it was absolutely terrifying firepower at a distance of 500 meters.
Just when the soldier who paid the communication sent a report to the Yueyang ship, Luo Yue and the three squad leaders discussed the tactical arrangements for dealing with this Russian army, although they have not yet been notified by the division, but it is necessary to prepare first, of course Luo Yue will not wait for the order of the command to make a plan.
Liu Tie, the leader of the first squad, said first: "Platoon commander, I just calculated, if it is 1900, then the bolt rifles are basically used, and the fastest rate of fire is estimated to be about fifteen rounds a minute, only about one-seventh of ours, plus the Russian army has no heavy weapons, and the gap between our firepower should be seven to ten times, or even more, so although our number is less than that of the Russian army, we can completely deal with this Russian army." β
Li Lixin, the second squad leader, said: "But we may suffer a little loss in range, the effective range of the Type 95 rifle is only 400 meters, and as far as I know, the range of rifles in this era is basically above 500 meters." β
Zhang Zhengjie, the third squad leader, shook his head and said: "Although the range of rifles in this era is farther, as long as it exceeds 200 meters, there is basically no accuracy, and the accuracy of our weapons is much better, so I think this battle still has a fight, and even if we can't beat the Russian army, we can also retreat, and if necessary, we can also call the Yueyang ship and request the ship-based helicopter for fire support." β
Liu Tiedao: "I'm not against fighting this battle, but I mean that this battle can't fight hard with the other side because our weapons are more advanced than the other side, after all, our weapons are not without weaknesses, so we should give full play to our advantages and avoid our weaknesses." β
Luo Yue also nodded and said, "Lao Liu is right, don't despise the enemy at any time, let alone despise the army of this era because we are traversers and have advanced weapons." β
At this moment, a reply letter from the Yueyang ship also came, and the command agreed to participate in the battle in one platoon, but put forward two demands: one is to be more careful, avoid fighting hard with the enemy, reduce its own casualties, and once it finds that the enemy is difficult to deal with, it will immediately call for carrier-based helicopter support from the Yueyang ship; and the second is to protect the safety of the villagers as much as possible, and not to pursue the total annihilation of the Russian army, as long as the Russian army is driven away.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, Luo Yue also quickly formulated a battle plan with the three squad leaders, and then gave an order to the whole squad to enter the position and prepare for battle.
When the soldiers heard this, they were also very excited, because the soldiers were eager to fight, and before the crossing, because China was still in a relatively peaceful era, the army did not have much opportunity for actual combat, like a platoon of sharp knives of the Marine Corps, which has participated in many foreign operations in recent years, such as participating in peacekeeping operations, escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden and other missions, but there are not many opportunities to get actual combat.
And this time it is obviously going to be a real battle, and the soldiers are also full of confidence in this battle, in addition to the advantages of weapons and assembly, it is more of a psychological advantage as a time-traveler, after all, they are all from an era of time-traveling novels.
Luo Yue called the He brothers again and said to them: "We will go to fight the Russian army now and rescue your village, and the two of you will find a place to hide first, and then come out after we have driven away the Russian army." β
The He brothers also knew that it was useless to follow the past when they started a fight, and through this period of getting along, the two brothers felt that these people seemed to be very powerful, probably able to beat away foreign devils and save the entire village. Therefore, they all honestly found a place to hide.
The landing place is not far from the village, turn a small slope and arrive, and just now Luo Yue also asked the He brothers in detail about the situation and layout of the village, and they also have an understanding of the situation.
Originally, the scale of the village is not large, only about 100 households, in the east and west longitudinal layout, in the middle of a road, through the whole village, about 800 meters, there are two rows of houses on both sides of the avenue, the total width is about 50 meters. There are two main exits in the east and west of the village, the east exit faces the sea, which is the exit for the villagers to go out to sea to fish.
The west exit is the main road leading to the field of the village, and there are hundreds of acres of fields outside the village, planting some grain crops, melons, fruits and vegetables, although the village is to go to the sea to fish for a living, but it is impossible to take fish as a staple food, or to eat some grain and vegetables, if you buy from the market, the cost is obviously too high, so it is more cost-effective to grow your own self-sufficient. In addition, fishing is a very seasonal job, and there are at least four or five months of the year when you can't go to sea, which is just the right time to grow crops.
Because the fields are concentrated in the west entrance of the village, there are several houses at the west entrance of the village, and there is a small drying field, the main purpose of the houses is to store agricultural tools and place harvests, but they are basically adobe structures, and they are generally uninhabited, which can be used as bunkers and build positions. In addition, there is a mound, as the bell tower of the whole village, although this mound is only four or five meters high, but on the mound can still see the whole village, so it is a suitable place to arrange a sniper position.
In fact, Luo Yue's heart is very clear, crossing the novel is one thing, the actual battlefield is another, although his weapons are advanced and the firepower is strong, but after all, the number of people is far less than the Russian army, and he is not familiar with the geographical environment, there are many houses in the village, the terrain is complex, and it is easy to accidentally injure the villagers, and it is not a suitable place for combat, so Luo Yue plans to set up a burying position at the west entrance of the village, and then send a small number of soldiers to attack to attract the Russian army to the burying position, and then concentrate the firepower advantage to strive to annihilate the Russian army, even if it cannot completely annihilate the Russian army, but it can also disrupt the Russian army's positionγ
Several squad leaders did not have any doubts about the plan formulated by Luo Yue, so they quickly reached a unified combat idea. So Luo Yue immediately led the whole platoon of soldiers to the west entrance of the village, and sure enough, this area was empty and uninhabited, not only were there no villagers, but the Russian army did not have soldiers to set up sentry here. And in the direction of the east, a few gunshots can be heard from time to time, and there is still the sound of tongue-grabbing Russian. The soldiers who reconnoitred just now judged from their mouths that it was the Russian army that was looting in the village.
This is probably because the Russian army is very relieved, and the soldiers all went into the village to loot, and they did not expect anyone to attack at all. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that this escort fleet traveled to this era, there would indeed be no army attacking the Russian army, after all, according to the course of history, at this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army had already invaded Beijing, Lafayette and Guangxu were running away, and the local officials in the south were Mingzhe to protect themselves and engage in mutual protection in the southeast, and the entire North China of the Qing Dynasty was basically in a state of undefense.
Luo Yue immediately ordered that the first and second squads set up ambush positions on the spot, and the sniper team of the third squad immediately prepared to attack the sniper position, and he led the other two machine gun groups of the third squad into the village to attract the Russian army.
Although the fighters do not have much actual combat experience, they have undergone strict training, field fighting, finding cover, and arranging positions are the most basic qualities, so the soldiers have chosen bunkers, and the sniper team has quickly stepped on the earthen hill and arranged the sniper position.
