Chapter 421: Fight back
Because more than 800 captives helped transport the captured light infantry weapons, which were originally intended to be abandoned, they were also captured and loaded into trucks, and not a single bullet was left for Lao Maozi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Three hours later, all 54 field guns of the artillery regiment were dragged behind the horses.
Large carts loaded with shells and weapons were also mounted on horses.
Five old Maozi were in charge of an artillery piece or a large cart, which was monitored by the same number of Liaodong troops.
The convoy, which stretched for almost two kilometers, was ordered by Li Zhilong to move in the direction of Liaozhong.
"Report to the division commander, there is a sentry post in front, there is a company of Lao Maozi stationed, the chief of staff asks for instructions, whether to eat him......" A herald rushed over panting and reported.
"How far is the closest Russian army here?" Having just walked for less than half an hour, he encountered the enemy, Li Zhilong was in a very bad mood, and asked with a frown.
"Wuli, there is a regiment, and it is also equipped with heavy machine guns......" The squadron leader of a special operations detachment who followed Li Zhilong replied after thinking about it.
"Five miles away, enough for us to settle the battle and get out of here......," Li Zhilong immediately decided.
"Order the chief of staff to take down the Russian outpost that is blocking the way, and not let a single Russian army run away......"
"Order the 11th Regiment, and as soon as the chief of staff takes the checkpoint, go and pass quickly. His Royal Highness's troops were ready for battle and ready to stop the Russian pursuers at any time.
The old man of a company, only one platoon was guarding the outpost, and the others were all shrunk in the barracks.
Xiao Bing, who personally commanded the battle, was not polite, and four infantry companies with light machine guns pounced on the outpost from four different directions.
When the Russian army spotted the danger and fired warning shots to prepare for battle, twelve light machine guns equipped with four infantry companies opened fire at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the small checkpoint of the Russian army was covered by bullet nets.
Not only that, but the three machine guns on the front were specifically fired at the position of Lao Maozi's heavy machine guns.
Three Russian heavy machine gunners were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could react. Other Russian troops who wanted to take over the heavy machine guns were swept to the ground before they could rush to the side of the heavy machine guns.
Soon, next to the heavy machine gun, more than a dozen Russian corpses fell on top of each other.
In addition to heavy machine-gun positions. The entrance to the barracks where the outpost was used for rest was also fired at by several light machine guns.
Under the attack of dense bullets, Lao Maozi, who was hiding in the barracks to rest, was killed almost as soon as he came out.
Under such a dense fire strike. The Russian army didn't even have a chance to fight back, so they could only be pressed to the death in the bunker and couldn't move.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Russian army was unable to counterattack, four companies quickly approached the outpost.
At a distance of thirty meters, the infantry following the machine gunners seemed to have been negotiated. At the same time, he took out a grenade and threw it into the Russian outpost.
The Russian army, with the idea of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, could not figure out what was going on, and hundreds of grenades flew into the outpost.
Subsequently, a violent explosion sounded at the checkpoint, and the remaining 100 or so Russian troops at the checkpoint were directly blown to the ground.
"Brothers, there are few people left in Lao Maozi, rush forward, destroy them, and quickly end the battle......" led a company commander. Looking at the checkpoint in front of him, which was already shrouded in gunsmoke. While shouting orders, he rushed towards the checkpoint with a pistol.
After the explosion of hundreds of grenades, even if there were still Russian troops alive, they were stunned by the grenades.
Therefore, the four companies easily rushed into the sentry post of a wave......
"Division commander, the chief of staff has already taken the sentry post, and the loss is less than ten people......" The herald reported excitedly as soon as he rushed in front of Li Zhilong.
"In less than five minutes, the chief of staff played well," Li Zhilong praised with a satisfied face......
Then, without thinking about it, he ordered: "Tell the chief of staff to leave a company to clean up the battlefield." The other units continue to act as pioneers, and the troops continue to advance, and must leave here before the Russian reinforcements arrive......"
By the time reinforcements from a regiment of the Russian army hurried to the battlefield, the 4th Division had already retreated without a trace.
Look at the corpses and the outposts that have been blown to rubble. The commander of the Russian army was very eager to lead his troops to chase along the direction of the retreat of the fourth division.
But thinking that this official road used to be the territory of the Liaodong Army, and before the battle began, the headquarters repeatedly explained that it could not take the initiative to provoke the orders of the Liaodong Army no matter what, so the regiment commander could only give up this idea and quickly report the situation.
After this checkpoint. The 4th Division never encountered a large force of Russian troops again, and returned to Liaozhong very smoothly.
And the 1st and 2nd Divisions, which were dozens of kilometers away, were not so smooth.
In particular, the 1st Division, which had the farthest running distance and also carried the heaviest howitzer regiment.
Less than twenty miles from the position of the Russian howitzer regiment, he ran into an infantry regiment on the front line of the Russian reinforcements.
An encounter inevitably began.
Seeing that a forward battalion had launched an attack on the Russian army, the Russian army seemed to have seen the purpose of its trip, and directly put on a driving plan to fight with the forward battalion in place.
The division commander Wang Hu immediately realized that the danger was gathering towards him step by step.
The chief of staff on the side also realized the danger and said directly to Wang Hu: "Division commander, you must immediately break through the Russian army's interception and leave ......here."
"It's only four or five kilometers from the front line of the Russian army, and it's only an hour away from the rapid march. If we can't leave within an hour, we are very likely to be surrounded by heavy Russian troops and will not be able to get out......"
Wang Hu's brows furrowed, and he decisively decided: "I can only hit all the firepower, and I will fight hard with Lao Maozi, and quickly open the breakthrough while their defense line has not yet been completed." ”
"Order the 2nd Regiment to launch an attack on the Russian army with all its might, and use all light and heavy machine guns and grenades......"
"The third regiment, all light and heavy machine gunners bring equipment and ammunition, and quickly reinforce the second regiment......"
More than fifty light machine guns of the two regiments, plus nearly forty heavy machine guns, fired together. The dense firepower can only be described in four words: overwhelming.
In the face of a battalion of the Liaodong Army, Lao Maozi, who was lying on the ground, could still raise his head to counterattack.
At this time, as soon as they raised their heads, a dense stream of bullets flew towards them.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Russian army was pressed to the ground and could not move, the first battalion of the second regiment quickly rushed over.
The Russian army is not vegetarian, and one battalion can't stop it, so they immediately sent all the remaining two battalions up to form three lines of defense to block the attack of the Liaodong Army.
In this way, even if the offensive firepower of the Liaodong Army is still very dense, there are constantly Russian troops lying on the ground being hit.
However, there are still many Russian troops who take advantage of the gap in offensive firepower to pull the trigger on the second regiment and the first battalion with their rifles in their hands.
A battalion completely exposed to the guns of the Russian army, where people are constantly knocked down and can no longer get up.
Seeing his subordinates being hit by bullets, the commander of a battalion was more heartbroken than anyone else, and he wanted to rush into the Russian positions at once, kill them all, and avenge his dead brothers.
However, he had no choice but to watch the troops continue to attack with bullets.
At this time, the deputy battalion commander who had just returned from the short-term training of the Liaodong Military Academy suddenly thought of something? shouted loudly: "Grenades, quickly throw grenades forward, use grenade smoke to block the view of the Russian army and reduce their hit rate." ”
The battalion commander with a painful face immediately reacted and ordered loudly: "What are you still doing, listen to the order of the deputy battalion commander, throw grenades, grenades to cover, and continue to attack." (To be continued.) )
