192 Palembang Oilfield Offensive and Defensive Battle (1)

The singing was really exciting, the armored convoy was still slowly moving forward, gradually clearing the enemy, and the guerrillas behind had already rushed through the convoy, and the automatic rifles swept out a rain of bullets, pressing directly on the remnants of the devils.

Although there were still devils who shot at them with machine guns and rifles, they were quickly killed by the angry rain of bullets.

The two guerrilla brigades blew across the battlefield like a gust of wind, and there were too many people, and the members in the back simply played soy sauce, and when they saw that there were no devils fighting, they started to clean up the battlefield.

At dawn, more than 20 landing ships sailed into the strait again, but the sight in front of them startled them.

There were countless corpses of devils floating in the strait, but there were huge waves rolling on the water, and patches of sea water were dyed red, and finally, a shark rolled out of the water, and a young sailor asked the captain, "What is this?" That mouth must be two or three meters long! ”

The captain said very seriously, "This is a kind of man-eating shark in the South Pacific, everyone calls it the devil shark, it is extremely ferocious, and it has a very violent temperament, once it is entangled in a fishing net, it will explode by itself and break into pieces, so don't mess with them if you have nothing to do!" ”

A few listeners around him opened their mouths widely, and there was such a ferocious shark, it seemed that the ocean was really dangerous!

The landing fleet not only brought a large amount of ammunition and supplies this time, but also several battalions of local natives, Kane and Lin Haifeng also came with the ship, Lin Haifeng said to Liu Jun, "These local natives have also been killed by devils, everyone is shouting to come to fight devils, I can't push it off, after discussing with General Kane, I brought them all." ”

Liu Jun was mainly responsible for land warfare, and he didn't understand the language with these people, so he asked Lin Haifeng to transfer some soldiers from the guerrillas to the indigenous team as a battalion commander or something. As for their lack of guns, there are many weapons on the beach devils, so they can be armed directly.

The news sent back by the reconnaissance plane was not optimistic, and the devils actually dug three long trenches in front of their offensive route, the first two of which were 500 meters apart from each other, and the one behind them was separated by one kilometer.

Several people discussed in front of the map, the Musi River made a big bend in Palembang, just enclosing Palembang inside, and the devils set up three lines of defense outside the river bay, which saved labor and time, which was equivalent to trapping themselves on an isolated island, and with their strength of a multi-division regiment, it was not difficult to hold this short defense line of more than ten kilometers.

However, there are many difficulties in attacking from behind, and the river here is very wide, and no matter where the bridge is built, it is not something that can be completed overnight, and even if it is erected, only a few dozen shells are needed.

Liu Jun said: "The devil's intention is obvious, they want to wait for us to attack the second line of defense, and then dig the dam in the upper reaches of the Muxi River to release water, because I found that the river flow has been significantly smaller in the past two days."

Lin Haifeng shook his head and said, "It's not right, now the rainy season has not yet arrived, the river is not abundant, at most the front two lines of defense will be submerged, but it can't form a flood, I know, they want to hold out until the rainy season comes, and then let us have no way out!" Because in about ten days, the rainy season will come! ”

Kane always felt that something was wrong with this, but he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he had to let them arrange a tentative attack first, regardless of what he had, and fight first.

Fifty kilometers away, along the road by the river, you can drive in an hour, even the infantry, half a day can walk.

The devils are really not simple, although there are no obstacles on the road, but there is obviously a lot of new soil outside the first line of defense, and they may have buried mines, and there are quite a few of them.

In the face of mine arrays, it is naturally impossible to fight with human lives, even if the sappers are dispatched, there is still a lot of artillery fire behind them.

Yu Dawei has been fighting with the Japanese planes that have been harassing him every day in the past few days, but the number of planes dispatched by the devil is limited, so there are still a lot of planes in his hand that are free.

Yu Dawei dispatched 80 planes at one time to cover the sky and the sun and fly over the battlefield, first shooting a large number of incendiary bombs into the two trenches and the open space in the middle, and dropping bombs in the depth of the enemy army.

Suddenly, the entire front of the Japanese defense line was blown up with thick smoke, and many planes dropped bombs on the offensive line, and also detonated many mines, and the smoke and dust caused by the explosion even blocked the sight of the bombs.

Intentionally or not, not a single plane went to bomb the large oil refinery, which was located five kilometers behind the defensive line, presumably the Nanyang guerrillas also wanted to get the refinery in its entirety.

After several successive waves of bombardment, eight tank minesweepers were driven out of the attacking troops, and above them, more than 20 helicopters patrolled the sky to prevent any of the unsightly artillery shells.

In the sky, dozens of seagulls were scurrying around, and if a string of anti-aircraft shells suddenly appeared somewhere, it would definitely blow up the helicopter.

But the devil's defense line did not fire a single shot, watching the minesweeping tank sweeping the mines, the front row of four tanks installed a large pressure roll, under the strong power of the tank to roll forward, once pressed against the anti-tank mine, the huge explosion can blow up the drum jump, but the tank behind is unharmed.

The back row looked like a big octopus, with a lot of thick iron chains wrapped around the big axes in front of it, and it kept hitting the ground as it went, and if this thing rushed into the crowd, it would be worse than a machine gun hitting people.

Not to mention, the U.S. military has done just that. All the Japanese devils who were hit had their intestines pierced and their stomachs cracked, and their deaths were miserable!

In this situation, both sides are not in a hurry, because after this toss, it is almost dark, and Kunomura Momoyo also knows that it is impossible for the other party to attack from only one route.

Sure enough, after dark, only eight minesweepers took turns to take action, and they had to use the night to drive as many routes as possible.

In the second half of the night, about two battalions of guerrillas quietly entered the offensive line and made a tentative offensive, which, if all went well, would take the first line of defense and consolidate.

The third company of the second battalion crawled lightly by the light of the flare above the minesweeping tank in the distance, and there were still fifty meters in front of the trench, and there was still no sound inside, and the company commander Yuan Guisheng was a little suspicious that there were no devils inside.

But he still didn't dare to be careless, and softly ordered Tian Youcai, the leader of the 8th squad, to take people forward to take a look at the situation first.

Tian Youcai waved his hand, and quietly crawled forward with a dozen or so men, and when he was about to enter the trench, suddenly, he heard a slight "tom" sound from inside.

He is very familiar with this voice, when he was fighting with devils in the past, as long as he heard this kind of sound, someone in his army must be sacrificed, and he couldn't see fireworks when he launched it, a standard killing weapon!

"Grenadier, anti-artillery!" After Company Commander Tian finished speaking, he turned over, and the grenade in his right hand had been pulled out of the safety pin, and when his body was fixed, he had been thrown into the trench.

The target of the grenadier was not the 8th squad, the devils did not expect them to arrive so quickly, but to the large force of the three companies that stayed behind.

As soon as Tian Youcai's shout came out, the people of the entire third company began to scatter in all directions, and the probability of this group being hit together was very high.

"Boom boom" a dozen grenades exploded at the position of the third company, and thirteen grenades of the 8 squad also fell into the trenches at the same time. Although I don't know how many casualties the devils inside were, there were really more than a dozen casualties on the side of the third company.

"Grenade, attack!" Yuan Lian roared loudly, and the entire three companies of two hundred people got up together and moved forward bravely, and the distance of dozens of meters was instantaneous, but in this short period of time, there were still more than a dozen small grenades falling in the team.

The two armies fought against each other and the brave won, and although some people were blown up from time to time, the third company was still indomitable. Rain of grenades smashed into the trenches.

Before the grenade sounded, a large platoon of machine rifles was also set up on the edge of the trench, and the light machine guns also sounded "suddenly", but the next moment, many devils were shot down by shrapnel behind them or in front of them!

When countless bullets rained down into the trenches, they were also forced to throw away their rifles and pull out the grenade latches!
