Chapter 489: Team Assault (Fourth Watch)
Gilzhanga and Doro are decomposing the tasks step by step, and Bo Ritu is also busy with artillery. The Fifth Army Group was all cavalry, so it was equipped with relatively few artillery pieces, and there was no heavy artillery, and the largest caliber was a 105 mm * gun. Therefore, after a long time, Bo Zhtu brought in eight 105-mm guns, 11 105-mm light guns, 10 100-mm mountain guns, and 15 85-mm mountain guns, and reluctantly managed to fight an artillery group.
"Let's go!" After the special battalion of the 2nd Cavalry Division entered the attack position, Bozhtu gave the order to start the attack, and the artillery group immediately began shelling the Russian positions in the area between the estuary and the corner.
If compared with the bombardment of Hailan Pao by Goxinga, this shelling by Bozhitu can be regarded as a fire cover, but for the Russian army, which has not seen a war for a long time, it is a real firepower cover. The whistling shells shattered the trenches that the Russians had worked so hard to build, sending stumps and broken wood flying all over the air, and then completely covered with raised earth. The Russian army ran aimlessly like rats driven out of their burrows by boiling water, and then they were shaken to death in the trenches by a huge shock wave. Flying fragments and shattered wood chips can easily take the life of a young man through the narrow trenches. The horrific shelling came to an end when a corner of the battery collapsed after being hit by an 85-millimeter shell, but by the time the shelling was over, the Russian battery had collapsed a corner, and their trenches were half filled with mud.
When the artillery was in full swing, all the units of the special service battalion were running at high speed, trying to get closer to the enemy under the cover of the artillery bombardment. As soon as the shelling stopped, and before the dust could fall, the soldiers quickly lay down and moved forward on their prostrates. The artillery squad, which was running with four people pushing the rifle guns, also quickly stopped in a pothole, and the squad leader held a telescope to look for the firing points on the Russian position.
"Damn, where's the people?" Wu Lige, the squad leader of the sharp knife squad, and Liu Qiang, the squad leader of the artillery squad, scolded at the same time.
The two of them, one crawling forward on the front line, the other holding a telescope behind the side, both carefully observed the enemy's position, looking for a local counterattack fire. But Ulig had already climbed out a hundred meters away, Liu Qiang's eyes were sour, and no one could find the enemy's position. It's as if an artillery bombardment just now killed everyone on the Russian position. But everyone knows that the intensity of the shelling just now is not particularly high, and the Russian army also has a certain defensive position, so it is impossible to be killed at all, and there must be a large number of Russian troops on the position.
"Fuck, it's dead! Machine gun cover, allowing a platoon to move faster. Wang Lei, who was squatting not far from Liu Qiang to observe, also began to scold, he really couldn't guess what Lao Maozi was doing.
According to Doro's arrangement, the three companies advanced in a glyph, the four platoons of each company advanced in a diamond shape, the three squads in each platoon were distributed in a glyph, and each squad was divided into three four-man combat groups, and the finished glyphs were also scattered. In this way, the entire special service battalion is like a big net, forming countless progressive firing points, covering each other's advances. Ulig's sharp knife squad is the forward of this big net, leading the entire team forward.
"Speed up!" Receiving an order from behind, Ulig took the fighters in his squad to his feet and began to trot with his waist down.
The machine gunners in the rear did not find out where the enemy was, and could only shoot roughly at the Russian positions through the gaps between the fighters. After fighting for a long time, a lot of bullets were wasted in vain, and the Russians still didn't even show their heads. Ulig's sharp knife squad has reached within 150 meters of the Russian army's position, and not even a single bullet has been fired from the Russian army's position. Ulig slowed down, the wind was a little wrong!
"I'll go! Alternate cover, machine guns move forward! Wang Lei also gritted his teeth a little, the Russians should not be ready to put people closer, and then suddenly come out to fight bayonets!
The machine gun moved to two hundred meters in front of the Russian position, and Ulig turned around and signaled the two squads behind him to open a little outward, protect their two wings, and then get up again and slowly move forward with their squads. At this time, the situation is unclear, and the old Maozi on the other side doesn't know what the hell is doing, so he can't focus on it carelessly. Only Ulige, a veteran of the Northern Four Banners of the Jelimu League, has such experience. The soldiers all have rapid-fire lever rifles and pistols, so using bullets to solve the problem is the most cost-effective for the Manchurian army. Even if you enter the position, your casualties will definitely not be small, so it's better to be steady.
"Lie down!" Ulig walked a few dozen steps, and a few heads finally appeared in the trenches of the Russian army, and Ulig, who found the enemy, hurriedly roared.
As soon as the Manchurian army pounced, a row of brushed bullets flew over their heads. The Russian army in Kratsnoyarsk is still equipped with front-loading guns, but they are better than the Russian army in Tomsk and other places, using rifled * guns similar to those in Enfeld. Although it is a little advanced, the Russians have not changed the habit of using front-loading guns, and they are still very concerned about the power of the salvo. So after squatting in the trench for a long time, the Russian commander greeted the attacking Manchurian army with a salvo as soon as he showed up.
It's a pity that the Manchurian Army has bid farewell to the era of queuing for shooting for a long time, and when they found that the Russian army was outcropping, their first reaction was to lie down, and there was no one standing stupidly. The salvo of more than 500 Russian troops covered an unlucky guy who reacted half a beat slowly, and it was just a bruise. The machine gunner had a target this time, and countless bullets swept over the ground above the trench, although many bullets only hit the soil layer of the trench, but the Russian army who was standing in the trench to load the bullet was a headshot. For a while, in the trenches of the Russian army, * skulls were splashed everywhere, and the hands that loaded the ammunition inevitably trembled.
"*, ready, two kicks to say hello!" *The name "Launcher" was a bit too long for the soldiers, so they gave it many nicknames, and the Ulig was used to calling it the two kicks.
"Shrapnel, three-fifths fuse, go you!" Although Liu Qiang's infantry cannon is relatively far behind, it is not lively. The high-explosive howitzer shrapnel filled with a large number of anti-personnel shotguns came twice to the trenches of the Russian army.
"Rush!" One of the squads of Ulig quickly rushed to within thirty meters of the Russian army, and then more than a dozen * beckoned in. After the explosion, Ulig and the others changed into lever rifles and rushed into the trenches, and the subsequent squads also followed the gap they opened and rushed into the positions of the Russian army.
