Chapter 152: Encirclement and Annihilation (3)
"Regiment commander, the devils are building mortar positions," reminded the chief of staff, who was observing the movements of the devils.
"So quickly, order the soldiers to quickly hide, the artillery company, immediately attack, and try to destroy the devil before he can open fire." The captain commanded loudly.
However, it was still too late, and just as the regiment commander finished the order, a shell test-fired by the devil fell in front of the position. "Quick, hide, hide," the shouts of the cadres immediately sounded in the trenches, and the "boom, boom, boom," and the devil mortar, which had adjusted the firing angle again, opened fire.
The regiment commander, Sun Xingbang, lay in the trenches, enduring the danger of being bombed at any time. "Chief of Staff, how many mortars are there in total," the commander asked in a loud voice.
"Anyway, there are more than us, about 16 guns, an artillery squadron." The chief of staff judged by the sound of the explosion of the shells.
"Suffer, so much, the artillery will definitely suffer, order the artillery company to disperse the artillery and suppress the devil's artillery fire, otherwise the casualties of the soldiers will be great!" The captain shouted.
"Okay, I'll go deliver the order," the chief of staff replied loudly, hunched over and weaving through the trenches. Soon, the shells suppressed by the artillery company flew to the artillery positions of the devils. Because the artillery positions of the devils are very concentrated, and they are not scattered in groups of 2 mortars like the fighters, so the first round of shells of the fighters passed, and two mortars were blasted into the sky along with several artillery pieces next to them.
At this moment, the devil's artillery fire stopped, and Sun Xingbang picked up the telescope and looked forward. I saw that the artillery position of the devil was immediately thrown into chaos after being attacked by two shells. The devils are urgently diverting their mortars and shells. Immediately afterwards, another round of shells fell, but this time the luck was not so good, and only one mortar was hit.
"Well exploded," the regimental commander clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
However, this situation did not last long, and the devil's artillery squadron, which had lost three mortars, also learned wisely and scattered the entire squadron in squads. So, in less than a minute, the devil's mortar rang out again. "Shoot back, fight back."
"Regiment commander, this time the devil's artillery has also learned smartly, and their artillery has also dispersed. It is very difficult for us to destroy, we can only suppress the artillery fire of the devils! An artillery staff officer next to him said as he looked at the trajectory of the mortars flying over.
"Suppress or not, order the artillery company to open fire immediately." Looking at the corpses of the fighters who were constantly being thrown up, the regiment commander clenched his fists and said.
In this way, a group of demons stayed under the fire of the devils for a full five minutes before the devils stopped. "Count the casualties immediately and get ready for battle. The devil is coming up. The regiment commander shouted to several staff officers beside him.
True, the shelling of the devils is over. Due to the sneak attack of the special operations brigade, the devil's artillery shell reserve has only less than two bases left, and in addition, the baggage brigade was blocked by a group of Baicaoyan, and the ammunition of the troops is even less, especially the artillery shells carried by the army are even more scarce, and in the five minutes of artillery bombardment just now, the artillery squadron has used up half of the artillery shell reserves. In order to leave enough ammunition for later battles, the squadron leader had to order the artillery to stop the attack and replace it with an infantry charge.
However, after five minutes of artillery bombardment, the captain of the brigade believed that the opposite position of China must have been destroyed by his own powerful artillery fire, which was the experience of fighting for a long time in the front line and the [***] troops, not to mention that these weapons were inferior to the [***] Tubalu? As a result, the forces of a squadron were sent out by the group commander, and several heavy machine guns were pulled out.
"Regiment commander, in the shelling just now, the two battalions killed a total of 24 fighters, 5 were seriously wounded, and dozens of fighters were slightly injured, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness, so there are no specific statistics." The chief of staff came to Sun Xingbang with the casualty data and said.
"Damn, little devil, tell the artillery company that when the devils attack in a while, give me a bomb in the place where the devils are concentrated, I don't believe it, don't save me shells." As he spoke, a squadron attacked by the devils had already appeared in the field of vision of the regiment commander. At the same time, several heavy machine guns of the devils also fired.
"Artillery, give me a few heavy machine guns that blow up the devils, a company, get ready for battle, and the devils will fire at me when they walk into a distance of 150 meters."
"Boom boom" First of all, the artillery company opened fire, but because the Devil's heavy machine guns were too scattered, only one of the 12 shells in the first round hit the target, and one of the Devil's heavy machine guns was blasted into the sky along with the two machine gun shooters next to him. The devil heavy machine guns that were shelled did not panic like the artillery squadron, but immediately stopped firing, shifted positions, and then continued to shoot and continue to transfer, but no matter how they were transferred, there were always two heavy machine guns that were constantly designed to cover the attacking troops.
Under the threat of a mass of mortars, the devil's artillery squadron was also forced to open fire, although the captain was very distressed by the shells that went out, but he couldn't watch the attacking squadron completely exposed to the fire of the opposing squadron, because in this way, it was tantamount to taking a squadron to die. So, mortar shells from both sides flew over the heads of the fighters. Shoot at each other.
Just when the artillery of the two sides was in full swing, a squadron of devils attacking also walked 150 meters in front of the company's position. "Hit" shouted loudly, the four light machine guns hidden in the trench were immediately erected, the machine gunner happily pulled the trigger, the hot bullet casings fell one after another at the machine gunner's feet, and even some bullet casings touched their calves, so hot that they smoked, and the machine gunner did not notice, but kept pulling the trigger on the devils he saw, avenging the machine gunners who died in front of the light machine gun, and at the same time venting his anger against the devils.
Originally, I thought that the position in front of China had been completely destroyed by its own powerful artillery fire, and it would not meet resistance. So the devil who was in charge of the attack did not have much defense, and the squadron leader took his own soldiers and straightened up and charged forward, as if the position in front had been occupied by himself. However, the sudden machine gun bullets suddenly caught these untouchable devils in front of them by surprise, and they were shot and fell down one after another. If he hadn't been desperately pressed to the ground by the orderly next to him, he might have fallen to the ground by now.
"Baga, lie down immediately, machine gun, machine gun, return fire immediately." The squadron leader shouted loudly as he watched the soldiers in front of him fall in a pool of blood.
Perhaps it was the squadron leader's scolding that woke up the soldiers, and as the squadron leader's shouts rang out, they all lay down on the spot, looking for cover. As the six light machine guns charged by the attacking squadron were also erected at the shouts of the squadron leader, the dense firepower of the six machine guns suddenly made the four light machine guns of the first company on the position unable to raise their heads, and the firepower of the fighters was also reduced by more than half after the four light machine guns in the urban area. In the face of the devil's intensive strafing, the soldiers had no choice but to squat in the trench with their anger swallowed, allowing the devil's bullets to fly above the trench. But the devil's accurate bullet still made the dust fly in front of the soldiers, and many fighters were killed by the devil's accurate riflemen because they couldn't dodge.
Perhaps the machine-gun fire on the position was attracted by the machine gunners, and looking at the increasingly sparse gunfire of the squadron [***] on the position, the squadron leader immediately raised his command knife. "Kill, kill, give" Immediately, the devils lying on the ground stood up again, but this time none of the devils straightened up, and they all bent down as much as possible to reduce the area hit by the bullets, and while charging, they shot at the soldiers.
"Order the heavy machine guns of the 1st battalion to open fire immediately." Look at the soldiers who are constantly dying, and look at the devils who are getting closer and closer. The head of the regiment, Sun Xingbang, clenched his fists and ordered.
The four light machine guns, which were given the order, were immediately raised from the trenches by the fighters. After a while, the rear of the first company remembered the sound of machine guns, and the firepower of four machine guns was enough to withstand the fire of eight light machine guns.
So, the devils who had just stood up, although they tried their best to keep their bodies low and not let the flying bullets hit them. However, there was no doubt that he was hit by the sudden and dense bullets in his body.
In the face of more dense bullets, the devil had to lie down again. At the same time, the firepower of the six light machine guns pressed by the devils was also attracted, so that the four light machine guns on the position of the company finally had a chance to fire. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the four machine gun shooters immediately lifted the machine gun and did not put the machine gun on the cover, but carried the gun in their left hand and pulled the trigger directly with their right hand. They began to strafe at the devils lying on the ground, although there were only a handful of devils who could be hit, but such dense firepower could well suppress the devil's riflemen, so that they could not aim accurately, so that the soldiers would have less and more threats, and they could calmly shoot the devils accurately.
And the good times didn't take a few minutes, and just as the soldiers were carefully searching for the devils in front of the position, the devil captain didn't know where to pull out a heavy machine gun squad again. In the face of the sudden arrival of a few devil heavy machine guns, Sun Xingbang was helpless, because he had no extra heavy weapons to reinforce the first battalion.
"Order, heavy machine guns suppress the enemy's heavy firepower, light machine guns suppress the enemy's machine gun fire, and fight again when the devil is near." The commander of the first battalion looked at the increasingly dense bullet rain of the devils, so he could only change the long-range blocking to close combat, hoping that the melee could offset the gap between some heavy firepower.
Hearing the order, the soldiers of the first company had to hold their breath in the face of the flying bullets of the devils, squatting in the trenches, without the threat of a company of riflemen, the speed of the devil's attack was obviously accelerated a lot, and in less than half a minute, the devils were already close to 50 meters in front of the position.
