Chapter 102: The Battle of Xiangxi (5)

I thought that I would be able to consume a lot of the enemy's living forces tonight, but unexpectedly, they actually used artillery at night.

It is true that there is no way to continuously observe the enemy's movements, so there is no way to use artillery support, but the position is a fixed target, and there is no such problem.

I took it for granted that the enemy would not be able to use artillery...... Too careless! I thought that I could handle any situation during the exercise...... It's really a war, and sure enough, there are still many places where it's still not good!

Fortunately, the telephone line was not blown up during the shelling, otherwise, if all orders had to be relied on by the signal corps, the losses would have been great!

"Hey, a lump? I'm Yuan Mingzhang, what's the situation? Can you hold your ground? ”

On the position of a regiment at the front, the sound of killing was already earth-shattering, and it was not clear from the command that the position of the regiment was going to be at all!

With this kind of formation, Yuan Mingzhang even thought that the main force of the enemy's 100,000 people had come!

"Just now the enemy suddenly launched an artillery bombardment! Eight machine-gun positions have been destroyed, some have already been broken through! But rest assured, I will definitely take back the broken position! "The commander of the regiment swore that they had rehearsed this kind of thing countless times to recapture the position!

Hearing the reply of the commander of the first regiment, Yuan Mingzhang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the forward position of the first regiment did not collapse, that is to say, the opponent's current strength to attack the first regiment should not exceed five thousand people.

But if you count the six divisions, it is estimated that there should be 10,000 people.

When attacking, it is generally 10 to 30 percent of the force on the battlefield...... In other words, the enemy army is probably around 50,000 people.

In this case......

"No, don't continue to throw troops into the breached position! You are no match for each other! Positions that have not yet been broken can also be abandoned depending on the situation! But give me a second line of defense! Fifteen minutes later, the artillery will cover 200 meters in front of the first line of defense! ”

The enemy forces occupying the forward positions will definitely send reinforcements to stabilize their positions, and in this case, the artillery fire will let them know the price of such recklessness.

Cut off the enemy's reinforcement channel and wipe out these guys who rushed up in the first line of defense!

"Yes, Master! When the time comes, I will take the lead in launching a counter-charge! ”

"Okay."

Now that the head of the regiment understands what he means, then ......

"The artillery regiment of the division is subordinate!" (funny)

…………

"Commander, what did the division say?"

The correspondent of the regimental command asked nervously, the regiment commander actually said that he would take the lead in launching a counter-charge! Could it be that something big is going to happen?

"Do your thing."

The commander of the regiment glared at him angrily, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is written into the combat regulations.

"Hey, okay, okay, regiment commander, the first battalion and the second battalion have been evacuated to the second line of defense, and the 1102 heights have all been lost!"

Another communications soldier finally brought good news.

Good news indeed!

Although the position is lost, as long as it is not entangled by the opposing troops, the next thing will be easy to do!

"The regiment belongs to the artillery battalion!" (funny)

At this time, he had to sigh, it was really convenient to have artillery!

"Hey, artillery battalion? Fifteen minutes later, three minutes of artillery coverage of the 1102 heights! Yes, they're all evacuated! Be careful with Lao Tzu, don't bomb the position of the third battalion! ”

…………

"Lao Li, how are you doing over there?!"

After getting the news that his position was still stable, Yuan Mingzhang was eager to know the situation of the other party.

If the 1147 heights of the 6th Division are lost, there is no need to defend the 1102 heights of the 5th Division.

After all, there are many ways to build defensive positions, as long as enough enemy troops are killed and wounded on this road to slow down the pace of the enemy army, it is fine.

"The first line of defense is already in a dogfight, and there are enemies everywhere! I'm definitely going to take the first line of defense back, though! ”

This is the first time I have heard Li Qinyan use the phrase everywhere, not an exact number, to illustrate the enemy, that is to say, it is difficult to estimate?

It seems that the Sixth Division is the main direction of attack!

"Don't be reckless! The commander-in-chief said that our task is to drag the enemy! The total strength of the lake (meow) and the north and south of the lake (meow) adds up to more than 100,000! Now our priority is to delay and kill the enemy, not to hold the position! ”

Yuan Mingzhang knew that Li Qinyan was a guy, although he was very affectionate, but his tactics were very rigorous, or rigid.

He was afraid that this guy would stare at the enemy to the death, but the commander said that he would hold this position for at least half a month, and then he could withdraw to the permanent fortifications on the two heights in the rear.

"I know, but! One of my regiments is already mixed with the enemy! I must get this regiment back, that's all! ”

A regiment?! There are more than 4,000 people in one regiment! How come?!

"Hey! Feed!! Gan! ”

A busy tone on the phone made Yuan Mingzhang realize that the other party had hung up his phone, damn, this guy usually wouldn't do this kind of behavior.

"Damn, I'm going to lose a lot tonight!"

How did it come to this? Why did it turn out to be like this, even though he had already anticipated the enemy's actions?

This division commander is really incompetent!

…………

"Target 1102 Heights, coordinates 3-2-4-6, calculate the secret position!"

On the artillery position, a group of people were busy under the dim oil lamp.

Artillery is not the kind of infantry kind of troops, if it is not a flat-fire gun, if you want to hit the target, you must know the coordinates of the enemy, and then use factors such as distance to calculate the secret position, and then let the artillery be transferred to this secret position, and finally can open fire.

"Calibration!"

After eight minutes of intense calculations, the correct secret position was finally obtained.

All that's left is to wait for the agreed time.

Seeing that the last second on the watch was crossed, the commanders of the two artillery positions shouted a word at the same time:

"Put!!"

Boom - Boom——......

The violent shaking caused everyone in the third battalion to stick their heads out to see what was happening outside

The artillery fire covered the entire position of the enemy troops and lasted a full three minutes!

And then the artillery fire outside the first line of defense has not stopped!

Golden opportunity!

"Everyone, turn off the insurance, get on the bayonet! Rush with Lao Tzu! ”

As he spoke, the commander of the third battalion took his bayonet from his waist and fixed it on the muzzle.

Now it is necessary to recapture the position, otherwise in the daytime, even if the enemy does not have too many machine guns, with the 1102 heights, the enemy will bring considerable damage to his own people!

"But the battalion commander?! The second company is gone! ”

The commander of the first company said nervously, the second company, as the absolute main force, lost all of them in the white-knuckle battle that lasted for twenty minutes just now.

The entire battalion is now only about 300 people! Recapture 1102 Heights?!

"Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, the regiment commander gave a death order, and those who retreat will be killed! Kill with Lao Tzu! ”

PS: These are all divisions of 25,000 people.
