Chapter 283: Change the Order
Fifty-four field artillery pieces and 12 large-caliber howitzers of the "Boom ......" have been shelling the devil's position within a radius of less than one square kilometer for as long as 20 minutes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Yang Xingguo still had no intention of stopping.
A few hundred meters away, the devil's position was completely enveloped in the smoke from the explosion of the shells, and even with a telescope, he couldn't see anything.
However, from the beginning of the shelling, the telescope held by Yang Xingguo has not been put down.
Not only that, as the artillery strikes continued, Yang Xingguo's brows became deeper and deeper.
Wang Hu, who was standing on the side, finally won the main attack position from Yang Xingguo before the war, but he didn't want to have another attack yesterday, and the attacking troops directly turned into a corpse collection team.
Seeing that Yang Xingguo still didn't give the intention of stopping the shelling, Wang Hu couldn't help but remind: "Commander, it's almost there...... If it continues to be blown up, the devils on the battlefield will be blown into minced meat. ”
Yang Xingguo, who frowned, did not answer, but shook his head and said, "No, the situation is wrong......"
"What's wrong...... Commander, how can I not see it. Such a fierce artillery fire devil is even if it is hit with iron, and it will also be blown into minced meat......" Wang Hu asked rhetorically with a look of incomprehension.
Yang Xingguo shook his head again, and his already frowning brows became deeper and deeper.
Just when Wang Hu was about to say something, Yang Xingguo ordered unexpectedly.
"The original offensive order was canceled...... The artillery stopped shelling, Division Commander Wang, first send a battalion to launch a tentative attack on the devils, and see how effective our artillery bombardment is......"
Wang Hu, who was standing beside him, immediately showed an incredible expression on his face.
As if he had misheard, he asked Yang Xingguo rhetorically: "Commander, with such a fierce artillery attack, no matter how many devils there are, they will be blown up almost as much." Isn't it a bit redundant to launch a tentative attack on them now? ”
Yang Xingguo didn't answer, and directly ordered in a deep voice: "Execute the order first, and you will know when the time comes......"
"I don't think the battle is as simple as we thought it would be."
I don't understand it though. But Wang Hu still carried out the order.
Soon, a battalion of more than 300 Liaodong troops lined up in a skirmish line, armed with rifles and a few light machine guns, and rushed towards the devils.
Two hundred meters. In the face of the suppressed strafing of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, there was not the slightest movement in the position of the devils who were raining bullets, and not even a single figure was seen.
One hundred and fifty meters, there was still not the slightest movement in the devil's position......
A hundred meters, still no movement.
Then. Wang Hu, who was nervous by Yang Xingguo, couldn't help but sigh and said to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, you are too cautious...... With such a fierce artillery fire, how could there be a devil who could survive. ”
In the face of the devil's position, which still had no movement, a battalion of the Liaodong Army could be said to be more and more courageous.
Soon, more than 300 people rushed to fifty meters in front of the devil's formation.
In order to avoid accidental injury, more than a dozen heavy machine guns that were engaged in cover fire also stopped.
Not surprisingly, on the battlefield, this battalion is about to launch a final attack on the devil's position. Use your own speed to re-enter the devil's position.
Then. Including Wang Hu, many people had an excited expression on their faces that victory was in sight.
Only Yang Xingguo was still frowning, holding a telescope, staring at the battlefield motionlessly.
And that's when the unexpected happened.
The devil's position, where there was no movement just now, suddenly appeared in a row of dense human heads.
At the same time, more than a dozen heavy machine guns were also set up on the position by the devils who suddenly appeared.
Yang Xingguo, who was holding a telescope, had not yet reacted from the sudden shock, and the sound of dense machine gun fire was heard. Rifle firing sounds...... It has reached his ears.
Subsequently, Yang Xingguo, who was holding a telescope, saw that the attacking troops of one of his battalions did not even have a chance to react under the attack of the devil's sudden intensive firepower. was swept to the ground by bullets.
At this time, Wang Hu also reacted from the shock.
Seeing that the attacking troops of one of his battalions were being beaten less and less by the devils, the expression that was still excited just now instantly turned pale.
And just before he could react from the shock, Yang Xingguo, who had been frowning, had already ordered loudly.
"The attacking troops immediately retreated, heavy machine guns. Find a way to cover up, and you can retreat as much as you can..."
In the end, a battalion of more than 300 people managed to retreat, and not even one of them even had 100 people.
Suffice it to say that this battalion is crippled, at least for a short time, it is impossible to form combat effectiveness.
The tentative assault was over, and everyone had reacted from the battle accident just now.
Zhang Hu quickly shifted his gaze to Yang Xingguo, and asked with an eager expression.
"Commander, how did you see that there was something wrong with the devil...... If it weren't for your prudence, now we would have lost not a battalion, but a regiment, and even more......"
Although it is not clear how the devil managed to escape his own shelling.
But for the questions of his subordinates, Yang Xingguo still answered very quickly.
"In such a small position, more than 2,000 devils have gathered, and one shell can kill and injure at least one devil if it goes down......"
"I was unlucky, I was hit directly by a shell, and I was either blown into minced meat by a shell, or I was thrown into the sky by the air wave of the shell's explosion. However, after such a long period of artillery fire, I did not see a single devil thrown up by the air wave......"
"If it was just a minute or two of artillery fire, I could still see that the devil was too lucky not to be directly hit by the shell......"
"However, if the devils have not been blown up by the shells for half an hour, then there is a problem......"
"Now it seems that there is indeed a problem with the devils who are surrounded by us, otherwise, after such a fierce artillery fire, it would never be possible to have so many people left."
Hearing this, Zhang Hu's face finally showed an expression of sudden realization.
It didn't last long for the expression to be overridden by visceral admiration.
Facing Yang Xingguo, he continued to ask with an urgent face: "Commander, how should we fight next?" More than 200 brothers must not die in vain. ”
"First find a way to figure out how the devils escaped our shelling, and then think of a new way after figuring out the reason...... More than 2,000 devils have been surrounded by us, they can't run, and we are not in a hurry......" Yang Xingguo decided very decisively.
Zhang Hu, who was holding back a ball of anger in his stomach, wanted to enter the devil position now and kill all the remaining devils on the battlefield.
However, in the face of the facts, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said to Yang Xingguo.
"Yes, Commander......" (To be continued.) )
