Chapter 400: Assisting in the Battle
The unluckiest thing, and probably the luckiest thing, at least for now. The closest man to the bridgehead was the puppet soldier who had been kicked onto the bridge, and he lay on the bridge, flat and lonely, motionless, as if he were dead, or he had to pretend that he was dead, and repented in horror in his heart for what he had done, hoping that he would become a bluestone on the bridge deck and be forgotten by everyone.
Lu Hang saw the only corpse on the bridge, thinking that he had been dealt with by the soldiers with rifles next to him, and was changing the barrel of the machine gun in the pillbox, while alerting the observation post to the situation. However, the nervous new soldier of the second platoon did not replenish the gun on the corpse on the bridge, he thought that the company commander's machine gun had been taken care of, and his position was so conspicuous, how could it be missed.
……
The situation was obviously wrong, the devil captain left the devil team behind him and walked forward, and it happened that the puppet army battalion commander was also running backwards, reporting the situation.
Hearing this, he picked up the telescope and looked at the bridgehead again: "I know now...... Are you wasteful? ”
The puppet battalion commander nodded in a panic, thinking that he would have to be slapped in the face, how could he not be satisfied: "It's waste, and my subordinates are also waste." But the machine gun ......"
"There are machine guns in the bunker, you don't have one? Have you arranged? ”
I wanted to emphasize to the devil captain that the machine gun was unusual, but when the captain asked him like this, he was speechless.
"Won't it be suppressed? You don't have bullets? Well? Assemble your machine guns...... Alternating two rounds, suppression, infantry-ground approach, charge, difficult? ”
The commander of the puppet army battalion noticed that the face of the devil captain was getting worse and worse, and quickly straightened his chest: "Taijun, I understand, I understand." You give me another ten minutes, and I'll arrange it. Then he turned around and went forward to reorganize the attack.
The captain didn't go back to the devil team behind, but stopped here, picked up the binoculars again and looked ahead, wondering, "Written?" Then he ordered the people around him: "Go to the front and ask, what is that?" ”
All roads lead to Rome – Araric.
If you just want to go north, you can detour from the downstream even if you can't cross the stone bridge, and this is not the only bridge. But...... This road is the closest, and if you detour downstream, the journey will increase by at least three or four hours, and it is impossible to reach Zhangjiazhen in the evening.
For the devil captain, the most critical question is not this, he is not short of these three or four hours, the important thing is that there are suddenly eight roads in front of him, why do you have to go around? Isn't it just to play eight ways when you come out! The option of detouring was directly left behind by him, not considered.
A bridgehead, a light machine gun, guess three or five rifles, a machine gun team relies on the location to be a hero, in the eyes of the devil captain who thinks he is an elite, this is just an ordinary tactical problem, infantry artillery can be solved, but unfortunately, it can't be used once for eight hundred years, how could you think of going to the regiment headquarters to bring that. It is difficult to say whether the mortar can have an effect on the bridgehead, and it is estimated that it will not be able to smash it, even if you want to use the barrage to cover the sight of the bridgehead, because the bridgehead is in front of the river, and it can't raise dust and smoke, and even if it is on the smoke screen, it can only fall into the river and bubble, not to mention ...... He didn't bring a mortar with him this time, because he didn't need it in the plan, and he didn't bother to spend that time sending someone back to the county seat to reapply.
Even so, he didn't feel embarrassed, elite, how could he not be able to hit a lonely bridgehead without infantry artillery? Wouldn't it be laughed out by colleagues when it was passed on? The simplest move, he has already ordered the puppet army battalion commander, and now he just needs to wait and see the result.
He judged that if the imperial army behind him went out, five minutes would be enough, the security army was indeed a waste, but ten minutes should be about the same, the worst was to give them five more minutes, the speed was slow, it didn't matter how many dead people there were, anyway, it wasn't the imperial army that died, and as long as the command was right, a few couldn't die.
The commander of the puppet battalion carried out according to the arrangement of the devil captain, and all seven light machine guns of the whole battalion were placed opposite the pillbox, divided into three or four groups, one group of shooting stopped and the other group continued to suppress the fire during the change of magazines, and tried to make the machine gun in the pillbox unable to open its eyes and not swing up; The difficulty lies in the bridge, the place is too narrow, no matter how many troops can not be placed, so a platoon is selected by throwing dice, as an assault team, crawling close to the bridgehead under the cover of machine guns, and the last one to charge across the bridge, send grenades into the pillbox, the battle is over, and the meritorious service is awarded.
……
The sound of machine guns suddenly became noisy, three or four light machine guns were noisy into a large area, the outer wall of the bunker was like a hailstorm, the density of bullets rained considerably, from time to time stray bullets flew into the shooting hole, hitting the inner wall of the rear, and from time to time ricochet bullets burst into the observation hole, which had already cut through the scalp of a soldier.
The machine gun could not be placed, and Lu Hang had to temporarily shrink under the firing hole, this formation was all too familiar to him, the fire suppression, accompanied by the charge.
A soldier pulled the bolt of the gun and was about to poke into the shooting hole to shoot back, but was kicked to the ground by Lu Hang: "What are you in a hurry!" ”
The fallen soldier grinned and panicked, "They are moving to the south bridge!" It's coming! ”
Lu Hang raised his hand and pointed to the shooting hole facing north behind the bunker, and shouted to the observation post squatting there: "Pick up the signal!" What are you still stunned about, I said pick a signal! ”
The observation post was shouted by the company commander, recovered from the panic, quickly pulled out the bayonet and hung it on the muzzle, then took out a white strip of cloth from his coat pocket and tied it to the bayonet, and then the bayonet pointed outward and stretched the rifle out of the shooting hole facing north, before squatting down again, and letting the rifle hang on the shooting hole.
Behind the bunker, to the north, rifles with bayonets poked out of their holes, and strips of white cloth swayed in the wind outside the bunker.
The strips of cloth were hung on the north side of the blockhouse, and the enemy on the south bank could not see it, and this was certainly not for the enemy, but for the tower, the horse's legs, and the gazi, indicating that the blockhouse was currently powerless to stop the enemy, and the various units assisted in the battle.
Lu Hang is not a reckless man, he will not be stupid enough to realize his intentions with just one bunker, he has done all the arrangements that should be done. The pillbox was located on the west side of the northern bridgehead, and he divided his men into four groups, two machine-gun groups, one grenadier group, and one rifle group.
Under normal circumstances, the position of the two machine gun groups should be set up in two basic ways, one is that the firing range of the two machine guns in the key area should overlap, and the other is that the firing direction should form a cross or cover.
The army aviation took five fighters to station in the pillbox for the first machine gun group, and if the normal routine was followed, the other machine gun group should be placed 50 meters away from the north bridgehead to the east coast, and the bridge should be sealed sideways. But the pressure on this machine-gun crew is great, temporary? The simple fortifications dug are not pillboxes, only across the river, it will be frantically taken care of by the fire on the opposite bank, and the greater threat is the grenadier mortar, unless the troops are enough, you can keep transfusing blood and filling people for this machine gun position, otherwise it will not last long, not to mention that the team leader is still the iron tower, which is not a competitive goods, he definitely does not have the courage to hold on to the end.
