Chapter 18: The Ambush at Qiandongling (Part II)
On a long snowy slope with a slope that was not steep, more than 100 soldiers and nearly 200 bandits scattered, covering almost the entire hillside, pushing upwards like ants, the firepower of the two sides was constantly staggered, and the red bullets flew quickly in the air, like a line of fire, the sound of crackling was endless, and the snow blocks continued to burst in the burst of bullets.
When they approached the trenches of the caravans one after another, no more than a hundred meters apart, before they could charge, Song Biao used two spare machine guns at the same time, and strafed them fiercely at the same time, suppressing them fiercely.
From time to time, bullets flew by with a sharp whistling sound, and the probability of them being able to hit the opponent was extremely low, and only the machine gun had a chance to kill the enemy, relying on dozens of rounds of ammunition, or even hundreds of rounds of ammunition to sweep by in an instant.
In this noisy rain of bullets, Song Biao used the 05 submachine gun to sweep thousands of troops on the battle line, not caring about the speed of bullet consumption, frantically strafing all the enemy troops close to the trenches, and suppressing the opponent's machine gun points from time to time.
Probably too confident in his laxatives, Liu Tongcang finally made a mistake, and suddenly rushed to the front of the horse gang with dozens of bandits all the way, the distance was only dozens of meters away, until this time, Zhang Yahu fired the machine gun and shotgun at the same time, and in a burst of banging sound, dozens of bandits fell in half, and Liu Tongcang was also hit by a shotgun, rolling everywhere covered in blood.
Every battle is a compilation of countless stalemate moments.
After the soldiers had lost their first group of attacking troops in the front row and had not organized their fortifications, they began to gather in the same vague woods with the bandits to reorganize the infiltration attack in another direction, but each time they were interrupted by the sound of gunfire, and paid the price of two or three lives, and then both sides fell into silence for a few minutes, if not half an hour.
Song Biao couldn't find a more suitable sniper target, so he could only shoot a few soldiers in succession who tried to reuse the machine gun, so that the Hatch Kais machine gun of the Yue army was almost never used normally.
The Brethren were at a very low level of shooting and tactics, but this did not prevent them from defeating their opponents, using fortifications to ambush their opponents, and using their geographical advantages to force their opponents to storm the line, these two points were enough to erase their disadvantage in training and combat ability, and all they had to do was to aim and shoot at their opponents as much as possible.
The heavy losses suffered by Liu Tongpaillan in the south caused heavy casualties to the bandits, and the more than 200 bandits were already less than half of the original number, and the army also suffered relatively large losses, with no mortars, grenades, artillery, submachine guns, and even grenades, and the only machine gun was continuously shot to kill the machine gunners.
If Song Biao was the squadron leader, he would immediately choose to retreat hundreds of meters to rebuild the fortifications and wait for reinforcements from the artillery unit, which was a very conventional and correct choice, but the army did not do this.
In every encounter in modern warfare, as long as the equipment level of the two sides does not differ too much, if the other side does not make mistakes, it will be difficult for you to eliminate the opponent, or even defeat the opponent.
The opponent makes a mistake and catches that mistake and that's the only possibility of winning.
It was finally dark, Yang Tiesheng ran back with four brothers, two of them were injured, one ran too fast and fell, broke his foot and dislocated his shoulder, and the other was hit by a stray bullet in the buttocks, and they all limped back.
Song Biao here have four brothers who were wounded by stray bullets, and a Russian wounded soldier who served as a bomb supplier was injured again, and the injuries were not too serious, and they could continue to fight after simple bandaging and stopping the bleeding.
In the dark night, everyone ate dry food and continued to crawl in the ditch, waiting for the dawn to come.
At this time, the army had two choices, one was to retreat and arrange positions, adopt delaying tactics to target the caravans, not giving the caravans a chance to break through, and at the same time mobilize artillery troops to come to reinforcements; The second is to take advantage of the night and take advantage of the advantage of numbers to launch a pig rush charge in the dark.
In the history of modern warfare, classic battles that relied on bayonet offensive as the last decisive means abounded, such as the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the German-French War...... In the Russian-Turkish War, the Bayonet Offensive was a necessary means of final victory.
Both tactics are reasonable, considering that the army has a way to find an artillery unit, if it is Song Biao to make the decision, he will definitely choose the former. If you think about it from the perspective of the commander of the army, there may be many problems, for example, it is necessary to take into account the face of the "big" empire, for example, too proud and confident, for example, the bandits' Meiji field artillery does not have flowering shells, only solid shells, for example, the bandits lack of qualified gunners, whether they will hit the caravan or the army is unknown...... The problems are varied, so it is very likely that the squadron leader chose to attack with bayonets.
Song Biao actually hoped that the opponent would take this kind of offensive, and felt that his surname might be very high, so he didn't deliberately kill the opponent's squadron leader.
Who doesn't want a surname to solve all their problems at once?
He replaced his rifle with a low-light scope, and then installed a lithium-cadmium battery, hoping to use it for as much time as possible before the battery ran out, the key is that the bird battery is out of print in this era.
The source of the low-light scope of the Type 03 rifle is the civilian technology of the Dutch company Olderford, and it is said that it is civilian, do you believe it? Anyway, the production line of the 5318 plant is the same standard as NATO.
In the dark green field of vision, at a distance of about two hundred and twenty meters, the army and the bandit troops began to gather continuously, quietly moving towards the southern line, and Song Biao's vision has been following them.
Before the First World War, the distance of 220 meters was simply a chasm, artillery could not be hit, grenades could not be thrown, mortars were suddenly invented during the Russian War, and there was no large-scale use. If the other person is cautious enough, you won't even be able to hear them.
Fortunately, on the snow ridge, although the clicking sound was very slight, with the field of vision, Song Biao could also clearly observe their movements.
Song Biao walked over quietly, patted Zhao Tingzhu on the shoulder, and motioned for him to bring everyone to the southern front, and he also lay on the position on the southern line and silently observed the opponent.
The soldiers and bandits hid in a small wood.
Time passed little by little, until late at night, the whole mountain was cold and numb, and when the last moonlight would disappear into the clouds, the two sides confronted each other in this silence.
The brothers of the horse gang quietly moved to the southern front, and Yang Tiesheng led a small number of six people to guard the trenches on the eastern front, with only ten shotguns and four Makqin heavy machine guns all transferred to the southern front, and the muzzles of the guns were facing the heads of the army.
Everyone changed to shotguns according to Song Biao's command, and there were six brothers with the greatest strength who were responsible for throwing grenades, including Li Dahan, because of their great strength, they practiced the most times.
It's just that until now, none of them have had a chance to throw a grenade.
Song Biao loaded his rifle with a grenade and aimed at the grove.
It was obviously not the first time he had encountered the pig assault tactics of the Royal Army of the Great Empire, this was the second time, but this time the scale would be huge, and even the bandits would follow.
The night in the northeast is so cold, especially on such an empty mountain, the howling cold wind almost freezes everything, and a soak of urine is an icicle.
Everyone was well prepared, wearing their own cheesecloth jackets and Russian woolen coats, and even then it was as cold as a popsicle, and everyone really wanted to make a fire.
Stay up like this, stay up.
At this moment when the moonlight was fading, Song Biao finally vaguely saw the movement in the grove, and dozens of soldiers of the Yue Army slowly walked out with thirty rifles with bayonets, and the footsteps were very slight.
At this moment, a violent gunfire suddenly sounded on the position of the army on the east side, the machine gun and a dozen rifles fired at the same time, and the piercing sound sounded so terrible and manic in the middle of the night, like the devil's chainsaw.
All the people in the horse gang and Song Biao were taken aback, Song Biao also hurriedly turned the glimmer mirror to look over, about a dozen or so people, it should not constitute a real threat, when he returned to look at the grove, more than a hundred people had slowly walked out in front of the grove, and the bayonet looked particularly bright in the dark green shimmer mirror.
Song Biao reminded in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, the enemy is still on the southern front, the second team can keep some shotguns on the east side in case of emergency, all the machine guns will be left on the southern front for me, I say fight, you will fight." ”
At this moment, Song Biao's heart was also extremely nervous, the front on his side was very long, more than hundreds of meters wide, as long as the army dispersed the impact, no matter how fierce the firepower was, it would be difficult to resist.
A blind man beating a dog can only be a stroke of luck.
Song Biao pinned a lot of his hopes on the army making mistakes, followed by relying on his lighting grenades.
