Chapter 106: Fierce Battle (5)
"Defeated, failed again......" may be because I have experienced too many failures in one day today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info For this offensive failure, Major General Marni was surprisingly calm.
After only a short period of contemplation, a new order was given to attack......
"Artillery, heavy machine guns, fire cover...... Attacking troops, crawling from the front, launch an attack on the enemy's positions......"
Soon, the battlefield was enveloped in the roar of artillery fire and the roar of heavy machine guns.
More than 400 old Maozi with rifles on their backs, like a dense swarm of ants, lay on the ground and advanced towards the position of the second battalion little by little.
After half an hour of anxious waiting, more than 400 old Maozi finally advanced to a position less than 50 meters away from the position of the second battalion.
Although the time was a little longer, the attacking force of more than 400 people did not suffer a single casualty after all.
At this time, Major General Marni very decisively ordered: "The artillery stops firing, the heavy machine guns continue to cover with fire, and the attacking troops continue to crawl forward......"
Soon, the distance between the two armies was shortened to thirty meters.
At this time, because the attacking troops were too close to the position of the second battalion, and the entire battlefield was unobstructed. Even as the attacking troops lay on the ground, the dense heavy machine-gun fire from behind them began to cause accidental damage.
After taking a full view of the battlefield situation, Major General Marni, who had a calm face, continued to command.
"The heavy machine guns stopped firing, and the attacking troops began a final decisive attack......"
Just as his subordinates were about to give the order, Major General Marni, whose face quickly flashed with a hint of murderous aura, continued to open his mouth and ordered: "Also, order the artillery, aim at the enemy's position, and prepare to open fire......
Soon, the roar of heavy machine guns that enveloped the battlefield stopped.
The more than 400 old Maozi lying in front of the formation, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, jumped up from the ground, screamed and killed the second battalion.
Of course, the second battalion was not vegetarian either, plus the first battalion had a total of six heavy machine guns, and immediately fired a dense number of bullets at them.
Hundreds of riflemen, also using their own speed, fired bullets at them.
The old Maozi, who had just jumped up from the ground, was intercepted by these bullets, like ripe wheat, cut into pieces and fell to the ground.
Although the attacking troops in the rear still stepped on the corpses of the people in front of them, they continued to attack forward, constantly shortening the distance between the two armies.
However, everyone knows that it is impossible for more than 400 people to rush through the 30-meter attack distance under the interception of six heavy machine guns.
Because, the rate of fire of the heavy machine gun is really too fast, and the six heavy machine guns combined can shoot forty or fifty rounds forward every second.
Coupled with the powerful penetrating power of heavy machine gun bullets, Lao Maozi's attacking force of more than 400 people will fall on the offensive road every second.
Just when all the old Maozi officers thought that this attack was doomed to failure, and could not bear to watch another battalion being slaughtered by the enemy.
Major General Marni's murderous order suddenly reached their ears......
"Order the artillery, open fire immediately...... Fire as fast as you can, without giving the enemy any time to dodge the fire......"
For a moment, it became clear to all the officers that Malny was launching this attack......
The lives of more than 400 soldiers were exchanged for the lives of all the enemies on the battlefield and on the enemy's position.
Although the decision was brutal, no one objected.
Because, as they all know, this is the best way to defeat the enemy with minimal losses.
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......"
No sooner had the screeching of artillery shells streaking across the sky than a violent explosion sounded in the positions of the 2nd Battalion.
After the 12 shells exploded, dozens of officers and men of the 2nd Battalion, because they were too close to the point of impact, were directly thrown high into the trench by the powerful air wave generated by the explosion of the shells.
Wang Hu, commander of the second battalion, although he was not hit by a shell.
However, he witnessed with his own eyes the tragic scene of a heavy machine gun position being hit, the heavy machine gun being blown into parts, and more than a dozen subordinates being killed and wounded.
Of course, the twelve shells hit the position of the second battalion, and some hit the attacking troops of Lao Maozi.
Battalion commander Wang Hu also saw with his own eyes that an artillery shell fell in the middle of Lao Maozi and exploded. More than twenty old hairy people fell directly on the offensive road......
"Lao Maozi is ruthless enough, even his own people ......" In the face of the changes on the battlefield, Wang Hu couldn't help but scold loudly while continuing to shoot Lao Maozi who was close at hand with a pistol.
At this moment, the commander of the fourth company, who still had blood on his arm, suddenly rushed over, and shouted in fear and anxiety: "Battalion commander, Lao Maozi is simply not human, even his own people ......are blown up."
"Their artillery fire is too fierce, and if they don't hide in the anti-artillery holes, the brothers will be blown up......"
"Battalion commander, quickly give an order for the brothers to hide in the anti-artillery hole!"
"No...... Wang Hu refused loudly......
"As soon as we retreat, the remaining old Maozi in front of the battle will rush into our position...... When the time comes, we will still be dead......"
"Didn't you see that the old Maozi in front of the battle was already crazy?"
Speaking of this, Wang Hu, who had already made up his mind in his heart, continued to order after being ruthless.
"Tell the brothers, no one can withdraw, such a fierce artillery fire, even if you withdraw, you can't withdraw......"
"After killing the old man in front of you, everyone can hide in the anti-artillery hole......"
After all, there were too many recruits in the second battalion, and there were many veterans who had never seen such heavy artillery fire.
Although the battalion commander Wang Hu's order was issued, more than half of the soldiers of the second battalion in the trench were still scurrying around in the trench with a frightened face.
However, instead of bringing them safety, their actions hastened their deaths.
When the remaining officers and men of the second battalion finally eliminated the attacking troops of Lao Maozi in front of the formation and retreated into the anti-artillery hole under artillery fire, the second battalion of more than 500 people could still move, and there were only 200 people left.
Even the six heavy machine guns that the Liaodong Army regarded as treasures had two blown up into parts.
Just when the remaining officers and men of the second battalion were hiding in the anti-artillery hole, waiting for the end of the shelling under the unbridled artillery fire above their heads.
Major General Marni, who took out a battalion for the Liaodong Army to accompany the funeral, did not intend to give the second battalion any rest.
As soon as the funeral officers of one battalion were wiped out, a new battalion was sent out by Major General Marni......
There is no doubt that Major General Marni intends to strike while the iron is hot and take the position of the second battalion in one fell swoop......
