Chapter 147: Fighting, Actually, You Can Fight Like This!
Like countless streams, countless enemy soldiers, in squads and platoons, rushed to the 256th Heights position in the moonlight from the jungle on the left flank of the position, like irascible monkeys, armed with AK-47 automatic rifles and green wide-brimmed hats.
Not surprisingly, the direction in which the enemy launched the offensive was not wrong, first of all, this indicated that reinforcements from the enemy's 315A Division had arrived. Secondly, the reconnaissance group led by Gong Linghui has a strong necessity for its existence. It was they who provided sufficient warning time for the positions. And Gong Linghui received Li Luxin's order to continue to search for the enemy's self-propelled artillery unit.
The self-propelled artillery unit became a knot in Li Lu's heart. Those guns that go on the go have great mobility and firepower. Maybe it will give you a moment at a critical moment to affect the battlefield situation.
The redeployed firepower has been optimized and more convenient to carry out, and there are almost no dead spots for strikes. The fortifications of the two sub-positions on the left and right have become important places that the enemy must first capture if they want to capture the main position, and the first to bear the brunt is the sub-position of the left flank, which is precisely the sub-position that Li Lu deliberately strengthened the firepower allocation.
Facts have proved that Li Lu has a very clear grasp of the overall battlefield situation, and his judgment of the enemy's actions is very accurate.
The 256 Heights themselves are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the enemy can attack from three directions, except for the middle of the armored assault column commanded by Zhao Rongjun and Niu Er, Li Lu should choose a key defensive direction in the left and right directions. The forces in his hands are simply not enough to fully focus on the defense.
If it weren't for the commander of a straw bale, the previous battle for Heights 256 would not have been so difficult.
At the moment, it may be the fiercest night positional offensive and defensive battle between the two armies after a large-scale battle.
As soon as he came up, Li Lu felt the determination of the enemy army.
Their mortars were firing covering fire, and the infantry units did not wait for the artillery fire to be ready to end, but simultaneously attacked the positions under their own fire.
To come up is to charge.
It shows that the enemy army has fully realized one point - if the 256 heights cannot be taken, they will only have the result of total annihilation.
The pressure on the entire battlefield was suddenly concentrated on the 256 heights, and the main forces stepped up to complete the annihilation of the frontal enemy on the one hand, and began to reorganize their troops to support the 256 heights on the other side. However, it is conceivable that even the nearest main force of the tank regiment on the side of the 338th Heights will be difficult to organize troops to support the 256th Heights in a short period of time.
Li Lu has to carry it by himself.
He personally went to the sub-position on the left flank to direct the battle.
He flexed his left leg and pressed the front of his calf against the wall of the trench as a contact surface between his body and the trench, while his right leg stopped and the sole of his foot was firmly pressed at the bottom of the trench, and the small half of his body leaned out, and the elbows of his left and right arms leaned on the edge of the trench, showing a supported shooting posture.
Such a posture speaks volumes about the fact that a countercharge can be launched at any time.
All you need to do is kick hard with your right foot and grab the edge of the trench with both hands, and the whole person can rush out like a hunting leopard.
The soldiers followed suit and adopted such shooting postures.
In his hand was the 56 and a half rifles that he had exchanged with the little soldier, and he was all tracer rounds, and he yelled, "Brothers! Look at the direction of my shot! Concentrate your fire in the direction where I shoot! ”
As he spoke, a tracer bullet passed by, and it was an enemy machine gunner lying in the grass.
In addition to light and heavy machine gun fire, more than half of the rifle shooters on the position followed the direction pointed out by Li Lu's tracer bullets.
The dense bullets shrouded the past in evenly distributed coverage, and no matter how well the enemy Heavy and Sub-Heavy were well hidden, as long as they had exposed body parts, they could not escape being shot. The enemy's machine-gun fire suddenly became mute, and the enemy machine-gun shooter's sub-shooter, who only showed his head, thought that his posture was so low and safe, but he did not expect to be shot in the head.
This was a predetermined tactic, concentrating rifle fire on enemy fire points, while light and heavy machine guns took care of the enemy's assault infantry.
All rifle shooters fire at the command, depending on which Lee Lu is directing.
The effectiveness of a single or several rifle shooters is too low, especially at night, and the concentration of fire can ensure that a single strike will be able to knock out a single point of fire from the enemy. Without the support and suppression of machine-gun fire, the enemy's assault infantry is a dish under our light and heavy machine guns.
The tracer bullet fired by Li Lu became an invitation to the messenger of hell, and wherever he went, there was no grass anywhere. Maybe one gun or two guns don't threaten much, but almost the entire position of rifle fire is concentrated, and there will always be the bullet that hits you.
Effective fire distribution and clear target designation greatly improve the accuracy and hit rate of positional fire when firing at night. In the absence of night vision equipment, Li Lu thought of various ways to improve the efficiency of night operations, and the method of directing and striking that he decided to adopt was the most suitable for the current situation.
This had a very fatal drawback - the shooter who was responsible for indicating the target would become the object of enemy fire.
The enemy was not stupid either, and soon discovered that wherever tracer bullets hit, they would be set on fire. This fire was not an ordinary fire, but a high concentration of rifle fire in the entire position, except for light and heavy machine guns. Under such a concentrated blow, it is difficult to escape the result of being hit unless the person is buried in the ground.
It should be pointed out that the coordination of light and heavy machine guns is especially important, otherwise, with the concentration of your rifle fire, it is very likely that the enemy infantry who are not hit will rush up. This involves the tacit understanding between the firepower of the position.
Li Lu was undoubtedly set on fire, and he was set on fire, so he had to dodge. At this time, the role of the substitute indicator shooter is highlighted.
He yelled, "Change hands!" ”
Immediately a subordinate shooter took over his job, and he could hide himself in the trench to hide from the enemy's dense bullets.
The quick switch of the indicated shooter put the enemy in an extremely awkward position. When they set fire to the pointed shooter, they also exposed themselves and were immediately attacked by the fire. And our soldiers, relying on well-established positional fortifications, undoubtedly have an advantage over completely naked enemy soldiers.
Loud roars such as "changing hands" sounded one after another, and the plans formulated before the war were specific to each individual, and every soldier knew very well what step he had reached and what kind of countermeasures he should take in what situation. Li Lu took great pains to make his actions specific to individual soldiers, and the ultimate goal was to minimize the casualties of his own soldiers while ensuring that he could fully exert his firepower to attack the enemy.
He took casualties as important.
The soldiers who were caught fire were to hide in strict accordance with the requirements, instead of shooting under enemy fire as before.
The black shadows in front of the position and the fact that none of their comrades have fallen, such a comparison makes every soldier very excited and excited!
Battles, in fact, can be fought like this!
As long as the plan is made specific and detailed, and a variety of emergency plans are accurate, so that every soldier knows the situation at each stage and the actions he should have, he does not have to blindly fight for his life!
Don't think that as long as you are a commander, you can command the troops to fight such a smooth battle!
