Chapter Eighty-Six: A Small Victory (2)
"Your Excellency the division commander, the heavy machine gun and heavy machine gun company have been attacked, and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses......" Listening to the sudden sound of gunfire behind him, a major battalion commander beside Vasily couldn't help but exclaim. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I saw it, cunning bandits, they must be trying to hold us back here and prevent us from returning to the artillery and baggage companies......" Hearing the gunfire that had stopped in the direction of the artillery, Major General Vasily, who had been frowning all the time, immediately opened his mouth to analyze.
As soon as he finished speaking, the major said: "Your Excellency the division commander, the artillery and baggage companies are in danger, and the heavy machine gun companies are under attack again...... Are we going to give up the heavy machine gun company right away, and reinforce the artillery and baggage batteries. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant officer hurriedly ran over and reported with a panicked face: "Your Excellency, division commander, the enemy's fire is too fierce, and there are heavy machine guns...... The heavy machine gun company has lost more than half of it, and the enemy seems to want to snatch these heavy machine guns, and all the fire is concentrated around the heavy machine guns, and the remaining soldiers of the heavy machine gun company will be beaten into a hornet's nest as soon as they get close to the heavy machine gun company......"
"Machine gun...... How can it be machine guns again, how can bandits have so many machine guns, more than the machine guns equipped by the Imperial army......" Under the reminder of his subordinates, the angry Major General Vasily immediately distinguished the sound of machine gun fire in the dense gunfire.
I don't know if I don't listen, but I'm shocked when I hear it......
From these shots, Major General Vasily heard a steady stream of strafing from at least three machine guns.
Shock to shock, Vasily did not lose his mind because of this......
Although the bandits who attacked him were equipped with a lot of machine guns, they certainly did not have many troops.
Otherwise, they would never have bypassed the main force and attacked the heavy machine gun company directly, preventing their own heavy machine gun company from counterattacking.
At this time, the battalion commander of the major on the side spoke again and reminded: "Your Excellency the division commander, please make a decision as soon as possible, the gunfire in the direction of the artillery and baggage company has stopped......"
Faced with the reminder of his subordinates, Major General Vasily immediately decided: "You can't give up the heavy machine gun company...... The bandits who attacked the artillery also had heavy machine guns, and it is not known how many there were. If we don't bring heavy machine guns, it is likely that we will be in a weak position in firepower and will not be an opponent of the bandits......"
"Although the bandits here are armed with heavy machine guns, there are not many of them, and all the firepower is concentrated on heavy machine guns. As long as we launch a counterattack from their flank, we will be able to repel them in no time......"
"Order: Three battalions and seven companies, immediately attack from the enemy's flank...... Eight companies, nine companies closest to the heavy machine gun company, fire cover...... Heavy machine gun company, ready to recapture heavy machine guns. As soon as the bandits' firepower weakens or retreats, immediately recapture the heavy machine guns and counterattack the enemy to eliminate them......"
Soon, the old hairy son of a company appeared on the flank of the reconnaissance platoon in a paratrooper line.
Under the frontal fire counterattack of more than 300 rifles of Lao Maozi's two companies, the reconnaissance company also began to suffer casualties.
"Papapa......" At this moment, Lao Maozi in the flank direction also fired.
Shots rang out, and the infantry squad closest to them immediately lost seven or eight brothers, including a squad leader with a Mauser pistol......
And that's just the beginning......
Because he simply did not have the strength and firepower to counterattack Lao Maozi in the flank direction.
As they got closer and closer to the reconnaissance company, they could be said to be more and more arrogant.
In the blink of an eye, two squads of casualties were inflicted on the reconnaissance company.
If we add in the casualties caused by their frontal counterattack, in just a few minutes, the reconnaissance company is more than one platoon, and it also includes many veterans and squad leaders.
After taking a full view of the battlefield situation, Zhang Shanlin, the commander of the reconnaissance company, had to make a decision to retreat. Otherwise, the entire reconnaissance company would be here.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, your counterattack has worked, the enemy has retreated, and dozens of them have been wiped out by us...... The heavy machine gun company has recovered all the heavy machine guns, and the attacking troops have asked whether to pursue the enemy deserters...... "The major, who hurried back from the battle, reported with an excited face......
Repelled the bandits' sneak attack, and also killed and wounded dozens of people on the other side.
This would have been a very happy thing, however, Major General Vasily was not at all happy.
Because, I have been delayed here for more than ten minutes.
So, without thinking about it, Vasily opened his mouth and refused: "No, artillery and baggage batteries are more important than these bandits...... Immediately shrink the forces and continue to reinforce the artillery...... The heavy machine gun company moved in the middle of the line to avoid another attack and immediately moved ......"
Ten minutes was enough time for the guards to take the capture and leave the battlefield several miles away.
Faced with a battlefield full of corpses in front of him, artillery and baggage that had long disappeared without a shadow, Major General Vasily, who had always held his grievances and anger in his heart, was directly angry.
Because, from the beginning of the battle to the present, Vasily has clearly felt that he has been tricked by his opponent.
From the beginning of the battle of Longgangling, he was played by bandits.
And the purpose of the opponent is to use his contempt for them to divide the troops, and constantly divide the troops. And the cunning opponent took this opportunity to give himself a break.
Of course, with the so-called individual breakdowns, if only some troops are lost, Major General Vasily does not care at all.
In the entire territory of Anshan, there are still two garrison pattern troops under their own command.
No matter how much you lose, you can replenish it from the garrison.
And artillery and baggage are different, especially artillery, after the loss, at least in a short period of time there is no way to replenish it.
As for the baggage, the loss means that the encirclement and suppression operation under his personal command will be weak due to the lack of ammunition replenishment, and he will have to stop temporarily......
Otherwise, oneself, who is short of ammunition, will definitely lose even more under the cunning attack of the bandits......
