Chapter 405: A Failed Night Attack
The night raid was undoubtedly chosen at two o'clock in the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to intelligence, the enemy believed that a long line had been set up, and their commander had chosen a very tricky position, which was located right in the middle of two woods. If you bypass them, God knows what the enemy will have to ambush. Besides, it is also very difficult to get around, and the width of the enemy's formation is really large.
The soldiers were wrapped in blankets and slept in the open, and before going to bed, they wiped their weapons clean and loaded their bullets.
Yang Mingzhi undoubtedly guarded the two girls to rest, Natasha and his wife, this pair of sisters was finally able to fight shoulder to shoulder again. Looking at the beautiful little face of his wife, the moonlight sprinkled on their bodies like frost is really cute.
Completely different from cute, both of them are also equipped with weapons - SVT40. Because of the imminent battle, star fruit also temporarily stopped working as a military doctor, and she took up her arms and resumed her role as Natasha's observer.
The main task of this night attack was the Rav Lianji battalion, and most of his subordinates were veterans with rich combat experience, and in addition to their high military literacy, their equipment level was very good.
Two o'clock in the morning was approaching, and the scouts in the vanguard had been closely watching the movements of the enemy positions.
The smoke was extinguished, and it looked like the defenders were asleep.
In the moonlight, the scout's pupils dilated dramatically, and they vaguely saw the enemy's position. The rammed fortresses of each mound are out of place with the surroundings, and they may be a point of vitality for the attack, but in the night attack, they may be easily touched.
The time gradually came, and the whole camp was full of warriors getting up. Lavlianji, who was on the offensive mission, was making final preparations, and Yang Mingzhi also reminded him one last time: "In this battle, move forward quietly, and don't make superfluous noises." Let the fighters disperse their actions, and immediately after breaking through the enemy's position, widen the breach. ”
If Ravlendi's tentative offensive were to succeed in its entirety, the whole army would rush forward. If there is an enemy after this, then the troops can also rush forward. Therefore, the whole army is mentally prepared that once the situation changes, all soldiers will go to the front!
The forest under the moonlight is full of murderous opportunities, and Ravliandi is about to attack in full force according to the order. He did not speak to his own soldiers, and everyone knew their orders. They checked the safety of the firearm again, wiped the spare ammunition to prevent jamming, and the back cover of the wooden-handled grenade was already open. Even an RPG, the warhead is already planted on the launcher!
Yang Mingzhi, like Lavrenji, remained calm before the battle. It was also he, who finally ordered the battalion to go into action.
After receiving the order, Ravlianji waved his hand, and the whole battalion began to act!
The soldiers were silent as they arrived at the scout's location and waited for it to be two o'clock in the morning. As the hands of the watch arrived, Raff ordered the entire battalion to advance in an offensive formation. Everyone officially left the woods, the rifle bayonets moved forward, and the platoon was pushed forward in a triangular formation.
The various combat groups pulled apart no small distance, so that the entire cover was five hundred meters wide.
"Now, seven or eight of your machine gun positions can be killed by me, and you can't even fire a single shot, so we will destroy them with cold weapons in the cold night!" Lavrenj was confident, and he and his people did this kind of thing a lot.
Under the moonlight, the shadows that stood were shaking. These warriors in white cloaks, they strode through the snow and ice, and even though people didn't speak, the ice was broken and made some noise.
It is not loud for one person to step on the ice, but it is terrible for hundreds of people to act together! These conditions are inconspicuous during the day, and in the dead of night, the noise is a bit loud.
Ravlendi and Yang Mingzhi did not notice this new development, but the Germans did.
One of the defenders of a machine-gun fort sensed an unusual noise, and because one soldier had slept lightly, he poked his head out and saw a large number of shadows in the moonlight. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, picked up the machine gun, and stared at the latest night vision device, and he immediately knew what he was seeing!
"Hurry up! Hurry up! It's the enemy! This man kicked and beat his comrades frantically, but the cold night and fatigue made any of them too heavy.
In a hurry, this soldier can't care so much. He picked up the general-purpose machine gun, ignored the frost on the bullet chain, and began to shoot wildly!
The light bullet pierced the darkness of the night and broke the silence.
This soldier used the newly developed night vision device, and Germany completed the equipment of the night vision device in 1939, but it has been lacking equipment because it is not easy to use. Some products are mounted on the tripod of a general-purpose machine gun, and are only used at night with a machine gun.
The soldier could still see vague figures using it, and he strafed the shadows, several of whom were knocked down.
Ravrenj was taken aback, and he and his comrades immediately lay down.
"Hell! Who the hell leaked the news! He had just started to curse, and the other machine guns opened fire as if reflexively, and suddenly the whole front burst into fire!
Just firing was not enough, Nicklaus was most afraid of a surprise attack by the Soviet army, and he had already ordered the mortars equipped by the infantry, as well as the field guns towed by trucks, to form a position.
The angles of the muzzles have been adjusted, and the artillerymen have set up their tents next to the guns.
Nicklaus was awakened by the sound of gunfire, and he rushed out of his tent in his clothes, where he saw panicked warriors running around the camp.
He immediately pulled out his pistol and fired a warning shot, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't mess around, everyone, those good weapons go to their respective foxholes, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
On the other side, Yang Mingzhi, he and the large army were in the rear of Lavlendi, and when he saw a lot of green bullets that hit the sky, he knew that his actions had also been exposed, and the enemy was prepared!
He immediately ordered several people: "Hurry up to the front and let Ravrenj retreat for me!" ”
The heralds advanced as fast as they could, but it was too late, and Lavrendi was already attacking in a daze.
Just in the first wave of shots, quite a few fighters on the front line were hit. General-purpose machine guns with an exaggerated rate of fire fired continuously, and most of those who were shot were hit several times, and most of them died on the spot.
The warriors continued to crawl forward, slowly lying on their stomachs against enemy bullets at this speed as they designed. Under the darkness of the night, the fighters worked hard to suppress the shooting, especially the bazooka players in the ranks, aiming at the enemy's fire points to launch RPGs.
Huge smoke rises from the ground, and two RPGs are aimed at a German machine-gun fort. One missed, one hit completely. The violent explosion tossed the dirt and blasted it away, along with the machine guns and the defenders.
The Germans, who were desperately shooting, woke up like a dream, and they had to shoot more fiercely, and even the foxholes on both sides of the machine gun fort, ordinary infantry began to shoot.
In the darkness of the night, the two armies could only suppress each other's fire, but as reinforcements arrived, their firepower increased in density.
Ravlianj felt more and more pressure, "What about my reinforcements? Why hasn't it come yet? "He knew that it was only his own battalion that it would be difficult to break through the enemy's position. Their firepower was so strong that a strong assault could only result in futile casualties.
Suddenly, there was a sudden boom in the sky, followed by a series of explosions!
The density of shells is not dense, they can be concluded to be mortars. These firepower gave Rav Lianji a lot of damage, and the formation of the team was very scientific, and the shock wave of the shells was difficult to kill in large quantities. After all, the three-three offensive formation that Yang Mingzhi engaged in was mainly covered by the area of defensive artillery.
The warriors' attacks were suppressed, and the PRG could not be used accurately at night, and even worse, because it was filled with black powder, and the smoke created by the soldiers after firing it once was enough to blind the eyes under the unblew wind.
The burden on Ravlenji's shoulders was heavy, and his mission was to seize the enemy's position, but he was met with a head-on attack from the enemy, and this night attack was terrible!
At this time, the herald finally found the attacking battalion headquarters in the face of the guns and artillery, and conveyed Yang Mingzhi's order: "The deputy division commander has an order. The enemy has been prepared for a long time, and ordered your troops to retreat immediately, and there must be no mistake! (To be continued.) )
