Chapter 1481: No Choice
The "Stinger"* has the ability to "ignore after shooting", once the shooter presses the launch button, the missile can fly away from the launch tube, and then he can assemble another missile or move to another combat position covertly and continue firing.
With an attack range of more than 4,000 meters, it is absolutely impossible for any enemy low-altitude plane that enters the horizon to hide, and in a very short period of time, more than a dozen enemy helicopter gunships were shot down, and none of them were spared.
Although it is impossible for the airborne division to carry heavy weapons, this kind of shoulder-mounted magic weapon is absolutely sufficient, otherwise it is impossible for the troops to survive in the torrent of steel behind enemy lines.
Tanks and helicopters failed one after another, and the enemy became even more frenzied, with dense infantry marching in, but tanks were far behind.
The little devil is not stupid, the "hammer" of the airborne division has a limited range, the infantry searches and attacks in the front, and the tanks are used as supporting firepower.
A large-scale hand-to-hand encounter began to be staged.
The enemy's artillery fire was not small, there were almost no intact buildings in the city, there were not a single pure street, and there were not even many broken walls a few meters above the ground, and the battle was simply carried out in ruins.
In this case, there were correspondingly not many bunkers to hide, and the airborne division had a preconceived advantage, and at first it fought smoothly, but as the firing point was exposed, the tank guns behind the enemy began to exert their power, and once the infantry advance was blocked, the shells immediately flew over, and the casualties of the airborne division immediately rose sharply, and from time to time there were soldiers who were blown away by the enemy's shells, or even torn to pieces.
The railway station is the only area that must be guarded in the whole of Langfang, because almost all the people of the city are located here.
After the airborne division occupied Langfang, it had long expected that the island army would bomb it, and the resettlement of the people in the city became their biggest headache.
Fortunately, there were still some agents of the Central Security Bureau and the underground party in Yan'an in the city, and with their help, they brought the people to the train station overnight.
Langfang is the first stop out of Beiping, and it is naturally also an important place for material hoarding, there are many underground warehouses, and the island army has transferred the materials to the front line in advance, all the warehouses have been vacated, and thousands of people have a place to live, and they have safely escaped the enemy's crazy artillery attack.
Garrisoned at the railway station is Tang Hao's third regiment, the defense line is arranged in two, just with the enemy short hand is the first line, originally expected to use the periphery stragglers to entangle with the enemy to buy some time, but unfortunately the enemy's tank guns are too powerful, the casualties caused to the soldiers are too heavy, Tang Hao can only order to withdraw from the first line of defense.
The second line of defense has done some protective treatment, some steel rails, sleepers have been removed to build a lot of fortifications, circular sand barriers, plus the railway station has many cement platforms, abandoned wagons, and relatively strong houses and warehouses, which is obviously more advantageous than the ruins on the periphery.
The complex environment is also more conducive to the hiding of snipers and Stingers*, who are the backbone of the force when there is a lack of heavy support firepower.
Having repelled the national army on the first line of defense, the island army seemed to be more confident, and the attack was more violent, the machine guns were in a high position and frantically splashed barrage, the tank guns in the rear also kept spitting tongues of fire, and the infantry was screaming forward with artillery fire, cutting down one wave and immediately the second wave rushed up, which was simply going forward and one after another.
The pressure on the officers and men of the 3rd Regiment suddenly increased dramatically, and the casualties became more and more serious.
The enemy's fire was so fierce that it was difficult for them to even raise their heads, and they had to guard against shells that flew in from time to time, and the battle was simply impossible to fight.
But the soldiers had no time to complain, nor were they timid, and some could only fight to kill the enemy.
"Snipers, are all snipers dead, clear the enemy machine gunners for Lao Tzu."
One of the captains at the front turned around and roared hoarsely, and the captain was sweating profusely when he saw that the soldiers on the front line of the inverted triangular sand barrier were overwhelmed by the enemy's frantic fire net.
At the moment when the second lieutenant turned back, a cannonball burst through the air towards him.
"Company commander be careful!"
A soldier roared, intending to knock the second lieutenant down, but it was too late, and with a loud "boom", a 76-mm tank gun shell exploded less than a meter behind them, and the powerful shock wave lifted the two men several meters high, and their bodies were torn into countless pieces by shrapnel.
"Company commander!"
The soldiers in the fortifications were stunned, and immediately turned back with a roar, and the AK47 in their hands rang out, and the two Makqin heavy machine guns also roared, and bullets rained down.
The people are in pieces, and there is no need to even look at them.
"Boom, boom!"
The suddenly strengthened network of fire was immediately noticed by the enemy, tank shells flew one after another, and the entire defense line of several tens of meters was covered with artillery fire.
……
"Fuck it!"
In the regiment command post a few hundred meters behind, the regiment commander Tang Hao scolded angrily and put down the binoculars, and the scene just now was in full view.
"Guns!" Tang Hao stretched out his hand to the right, and the guard immediately handed the gun over, AK47 shouldered it, Tang Hao said fiercely: "Pass the order, except for the snipers and stinger guides and bullets, the whole regiment will launch a counter-charge, and the guard company, including all the personnel of the command headquarters, will follow me to support the battalion in front and set off!" ”
A group of soldiers agreed to the promise, Tang Hao said that he would pick up the gun and leave, but Yang Fangyu, the chief of staff of the regiment, looked shocked, and a diagonal straddle blocked in front of Tang Hao and said urgently: "Wait, Tuanzao, you are too Meng Lang to do this, the enemy is outnumbered, the counter-charge is too dangerous, once we fall in, it will be difficult for us to withdraw back, it doesn't matter if we fight our three regiments, these thousands of people in the warehouse will only have a dead end." ”
"Get out of here!" Tang Hao didn't intend to explain anything at all, he pushed Yang Fangyu away and strode out, and a group of staff officers and soldiers followed, Yang Fangyu stomped his feet angrily, and dragged a guard and said urgently: "Go and inform the division!" After that, he picked up the AK47 on the table and followed.
The airborne division did not have purely civilian personnel, and the soldiers who took up arms were all soldiers who could charge into battle.
Tang Hao's move was by no means Meng Lang, the airborne division was all lightly armed, and it was impossible to carry heavy support firepower, dozens of Makqin heavy machine guns were airdropped last night, but this firepower was incomparable to the enemy, especially the cunning enemy put the tank in the rear as a moving cannon to use, and the soldiers' bazookas could not reach their side at all.
Fighting a positional battle with these groups of makeshift fortifications is a dead end, rushing out to stir up with the enemy, shortening the distance of the firefight, the enemy's artillery fire will not be effective, and at the same time, you can also take the opportunity to kill the enemy's tanks.
Of course, the risk of doing so is also great, as Yang Fangyu worried, the enemy is strong and I am weak, once we can't kill and injure the enemy in large numbers and repel the enemy's attack, the whole regiment may fall in, but it has come to this point, Tang Hao has no choice.
