Chapter 579: Annihilation

Oleg Makerk's Sasatchi.

This is the last line of defense of Olegmetak, and once the Chinese complete the breakthrough, then the entire right flank of Kedunsnoyarsk will be completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Chinese!

Here the most frantic counterattack of the Russians began.

I have to admit that these Soviet Russian Red Army are indeed full of courage, and they do not spare their lives for the sake of their beliefs.

They are willing to trade their lives for everything.

But a spirit of sacrifice may not necessarily lead to a victory

A white flare lights up the night sky. Almost at the same time, countless Red Army troops suddenly poured out of the bushes. They rushed to the position with their blazing bayonets. Shouting "Ulla! Ulla! ”

They ran and shot and constantly threw grenades, filling almost the entire charging position.

At the front were some of the officers, who rushed forward with complete fearlessness

Every move of the Red Army was clearly seen by Sun Chuanfang, commander of the Seventh Army of the Second Army. He reminded his subordinates to get closer to the enemy before fighting, and did not shoot without an order.

Seeing that the Red Army was approaching in two positions, the front and the rear, he ordered the artillery gunners deployed in the positions to aim in the middle and open fire as soon as the first wave of the Red Army passed, cutting off the retreat of the first wave of the enemy and preventing the second wave from continuing through.

300 Red Army daredevils rushed forward, and the officers in front, seeing that they had not met resistance, shouted at the rear to speed up. The follow-up troops followed and swarmed out of the coconut grove and filled the entire position.

Seeing that the time had come, Sun Chuanfang immediately ordered loudly: "Fire!" ”

In an instant, the guns on the position of the squadron suddenly burst out, and the light and heavy machine guns knocked down dozens of Red Army daredevils like autumn wind sweeping leaves.

Kaposki, who was directing the charge of the Red Army, saw this situation and immediately ordered fire cover. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns spat out tongues of fire, and bullets splashed at the opposite bank.

The fire of the squadron was so fierce, but the Russians did not flinch. They shouted, "Rush! "Shoot and throw grenades while running." The sound of explosions shook the night sky.

Red Army officers, stepping on the corpses of fallen wounded and soldiers, holding their weapons aloof, rushed to the front. The Red Army at the forefront had already rushed far away, only a dozen meters away from the position of the squadron.

All the lieutenant ** officers shouted: "Throw grenades!" ”

A grenade was thrown out and landed right in the middle of the dozen or so Red Army troops who rushed to the front, and with a loud "boom", the Red Army fell one by one.

The soldiers followed closely with the bombs, and one after another the grenades fell into the piles of people who rushed up, bursting into bursts of flames, and a large number of Red Army daredevils were blown to the ground. Moans came and went.

When the first wave of the Red Army rushed to the center of the position, the artillery of the squadron opened fire. Shell after shell exploded, and the positions were strewn with the corpses of Red Army soldiers.

Through the flash of the cannonball's explosion, you can see that the earth has turned a crimson color.

The Red Army, which was rushing to the front, stopped, the Red Army behind rushed up again, and the Red Army gathered together was in a mess, at a loss.

Sun Chuanfang lost no time in concentrating his firepower and fiercely strafing the Red Army in front of the position. The Heavy doesn't need to aim. You can take down piles and piles of enemies at will.

At last, the Red Army could not bear any strength, leaving behind the dead and wounded to retreat like a tide, and the wounded soldiers, who could not escape, let out a desperate wail and cursed the officers and men who had abandoned them. Some of the Red Army, in despair, pulled the grenades on their bodies and committed suicide in front of the battle.

One of the Red Army commanders shot and killed several of the defeated soldiers, and the rest of the rout turned around. and rushed to the position of the squadron.

A small number of Red Army troops who rushed into the foxholes on the positions of the squadron did not retreat until death. They used grenades to blow up the fire points of the squadron, and frequently fired at the surrounding squadrons, and these few Red Army soldiers greatly restrained the firepower of the squadron!

The follow-up echelons of the Red Army took the opportunity to rush to the positions and launch an even more fierce charge.

Kaposki, binocular, stood motionless by the position, allowing bullets to pass by. Seeing that it would be difficult to storm from the position, he ordered Colonel Lusoshav, whom he trusted most, to lead his troops in a roundabout way to attack from the flank.

After seeing the movement of the Lusoshav squadron to the flank, the squadron also sent a unit to move parallel to them. Having discovered that they were on the offensive, preparations for "hunting" were immediately made on the opposite side. …,

Before Lusoshav's soldiers could swing out of their charge with their rifles on their heads, a barrage of bullets came into their faces. The guns rang out like beans, and many soldiers fell to the ground before they could shoot.

But under the fierce fire blockade of the squadron, the Red Army soldiers could not raise their heads at all, and lay on the ground one by one to avoid the rain of bullets.

Kaposki's plan to attack the position of the squadron in a roundabout way failed, and it paid a heavy price.

Now he had to pin his hopes on an attack from the direction of the frontal position.

Under the cover of the Red Army, which infiltrated into the foxhole. The follow-up echelons of the Red Army broke through the positions, drilled through the blown up barbed wire and captured part of the trenches of the squadron.

Kaposki was overjoyed to see the shock force signal from the position of the central ** team that "we have captured the enemy's forward positions." He took out the liquor he had prepared and prepared to celebrate the success of his men. Kaposki didn't know. I rejoiced too soon.

The squadron that was on standby used artillery and opened heavy fire. The positions were cut off from the middle by fire. The follow-up echelons of the Red Army were streaked off on the opposite bank.

The officers and men of the squadron on the forward positions took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and they fiercely fought with the Red Army for every inch of land.

Under the onslaught of the squadron reserves, the Red Army was forced to retreat along all fronts.

By dawn, the squadron had consolidated its forward position.

Immediately, the Chinese Air Force began to sortie.

As soon as the day dawned, the "Thunder" planes took off one after another. Having reached the skies over the area of engagement, the pilots began to show their skills. Bombs rained down on the positions and blew up the Red Army with no place to bury.

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers of the squadron launched a full-line counterattack, and the soldiers of the squadron with bloodshot eyes rushed out like a tiger descending the mountain, like a bamboo.

Finally, the Red Army could not support it anymore and retreated. The desperate soldiers fled in all directions and soon became the target of the squadron, and the river was full of corpses

The offensive of the Red Army failed. Kaposki had no choice but to collect the remnants of his defeated army and retreat into Lili to escape the bombardment of the planes.

The battlefield fell silent. Wu Peifu's mood was not easy. He knows. The Reds, hiding in the woods, were by no means idle, and from their offensive it was clear that this was a gang of outlaws. They will not be reconciled after their first defeat. If these Red Army forces are not eliminated, the attack of their own army will not be peaceful, and even the Chinese soldiers will suffer heavy losses.

Wu Peifu decided to wipe out all the Red Army here cleanly and completely, and not a single one of them was allowed to escape.

To this end, he allocated 6 tanks to Sun Chuanfang's command to strengthen his assault force attacking the Red Army from the front. At the same time, he ordered the strength of a battalion of Clay to return to the rear of the Red Army. Block their retreat.

After thorough preparations, the squadron launched a full-scale offensive in the afternoon.

12 "Thunder" dive bombers were the first to launch air strikes on the positions of the Red Army. The planes circled and dived without hesitation, dropping bombs down the treetops of the woods. Explosions rang out one after another, and billowing smoke filled the mouth of the Tenaru River.

At the same time as the aircraft bombed, the tank guns and artillery of the squadron opened heavy fire. Shells fell on the Red Army positions one after another, blowing up branches and clods of earth, and from time to time the severed arms and stumps of Red Army soldiers were lifted into the air.

Kaposki's remnants of the defeated men were desperately defending their positions, and some Red Army soldiers were stunned by the bombardment. In panic, he jumped out of the trench and retreated into the woods.

Kaposki, who was directing the resistance, saw that some soldiers were fleeing, and angrily cursed loudly, pulled out his pistol and killed several deserters in succession!

At this time, the squadron of a battalion had already detoured behind the Red Army and suddenly launched a charge from behind the Red Army.

The soldiers of the squadron rushed out of the coconut grove like hungry tigers, and the sound of killing shook the wilderness and was unstoppable.

Sun Chuanfang commanded six tanks to attack from the front. Tanks rushed to positions with a "boom". Crushed over piles of corpses of the Red Army. Drive straight ahead. The Marines of the squadron followed closely behind the tanks and rushed forward like a tidal wave.

Seeing that a squadron tank was about to rush down the position, Lusoshav grabbed an anti-tank grenade and rushed over. Using the cover of trees, he approached the tank, suddenly jumped up and stuffed the grenade into the tank track.

With a loud "boom", the tank tracks rolled down, and the tank was paralyzed.

The squadron tanks in the back pushed the first tank away and moved on. But noticeably slowed down the pace!

Under the influence of the Red Army officers, the morale of the Red Army soldiers increased greatly. They maximized their firepower and fired at the squadron that was impacting. The soldiers of the squadron fell in rows.

The Russians significantly increased their firepower, and the squadron commander, who was flanking and rear, fearing excessive casualties among his troops, ordered his troops to stop charging into the forest.

Sun Chuanfang, who attacked from the front, also withdrew his troops, leaving only tanks to shell the positions of the Red Army.

After the attack was frustrated, Sun Chuanfang asked the squadron planes to bomb the Red Army again.

The "Thunder" dive bomber struck again. The Red Army held its positions in a "carpet" style bombardment in turn, and the Red Army, which held its positions, had nowhere to hide, so they had to lie down in the trenches with their heads in their hands and be bombed.

A bomb fell next to Kaposki's command post, killing several officers on the spot.

Kaposki was also hit by a piece of shrapnel in his chest. Immediately fainted.

Chinese soldiers braved the rain of bullets and charged bravely, using machine guns to strafe the recalcitrant Red Army.

Four tanks began to move forward. Chinese soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed after the tanks.

At dusk, the Red Army attempted to break through in a southwesterly direction. 3 squadron tanks rushed and fired shells from the tank's guns deafeningly. Crush the desperate Red Army until the tank tracks look like a "meat grinder"! (To be continued.) )
