Chapter 667: Attacking the Mountain
"What's going on? What's going on? How do shorthairs get up the mountain? Zhou Shengbo was the first to come back to his senses, and roared loudly, you know, he just came down from the mountain and let the Democratic Alliance army go up the mountain, this is obviously his responsibility, it is not only a matter of importance, but also a matter of face.
Liu Mingchuan also looked at the mountain in a daze, and sighed: "I understand, Shorthair must have sent a small force to detour a few days ago late at night, and went up the mountain in the Nanyang area, and then sneaked all the way in the mountains. ”
Zhang Shusheng's face was ugly and said: "Since we can avoid our secret whistle, it means that there will not be too many people on the mountain for shorthair, if you attack in time, you may be able to save it, Brother Hailing, Brother Three of the Province, I will leave it to you here, don't delay the opportunity, I will go back to the camp to transfer troops first." After saying that, he hurried away.
Zhou Shengbo roared: "Go up the mountain, go up the mountain for Lao Tzu, recapture the mountain, reward a hundred taels of silver, and those who take half a step back will be killed on the spot!" ”
Generally speaking, in China's old-style army, there are warlords, whose task is not to fight, but to supervise operations, and has the right to kill anyone who is suspicious in wartime, which is also the most feared existence for grassroots soldiers.
Under the supervision of the three hundred warlords, although the five thousand Huai troops were reluctant, they had to march to the mountain, this time it was different from the past, because all the strategic points were lost, and they needed to be recaptured, and in this process, it was impossible not to pay a heavy price, and it may not be able to recapture it if the price was paid, especially the Democratic Alliance army in front of the battalion was about to launch an attack, which was equivalent to falling into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly.
If the hill is in hand, the Democratic Alliance will not take the initiative to attack, you know, in the positional battle. Artillery is not omnipotent, as long as the bunker fortifications are properly constructed, the power of artillery can be completely offset to the minimum, which is also in the Shangganling Campaign, 3.7 square kilometers of land, bearing nearly 2 million shells and bombs. The fundamental reason why the hilltop of the position was cut down by two meters, the soil and rocks on the high ground were loosened by one to two meters, and many tunnels were shortened by five or six meters, but the PLA was still able to hold on and inflict heavy damage on the US troops.
Today's Huai army, regardless of equipment level or military quality, is far more than the original Ye Mingchen improvised patchwork of the ragtag army, frontal assault does not mean that it cannot be won, but it will inevitably pay a heavy price, it is not worth it, so Wang Feng will do his best to break the Huai army's military heart.
At that time, it was under the city of Guangzhou. When the Democratic Alliance army attacked Yuexiu Mountain, which was only sixty or seventy meters high, there were more than 1,000 casualties, and the hill behind Liu Mingchuan's camp was nearly 800 meters high, with a larger area and more complicated terrain.
From ancient times to modern times, attacking mountains has always been more difficult than attacking cities, and the Battle of Shangganling is a vivid lesson. Generally, the method of siege is adopted, and the enemy is exhausted of ammunition and food. walked out by himself, but Tongbai Mountain and Xinyang and Liu Mingchuan's battalion company were one, and the siege was not feasible at all, Wang Feng could only let Zhou Yanqi lead two hundred people to go around in a circle, taking advantage of the Huai army's fatigue and returning to his heart like an arrow. Secretly occupy the mountain.
Jiang Zhongji led the 16th Army up the mountain from the side, and the 5,000 Huai Army went up the mountain from the front under the supervision of the supervising team. Nearly 100 122 and 152 cannons of the NLD army were also unfurled, and these two types of artillery had a long range and could cover the deployment of small mountain guns, and finally the infantry attacked the position.
With the large number of new artillery equipment, no matter who builds the barracks, it is inevitable to dig trenches several miles wide on the perimeter, which can not only play a role in covering, but also play a buffering role, and avoid being directly attacked by the enemy's artillery.
Xinyang City includes two large battalions on the left and right, and the Huai army used several months to dig, and the depth of the trenches is generally about five kilometers, so that even if their own artillery positions are destroyed, if the Democratic Alliance forces want to attack, they must occupy the trenches one by one and fill in some of them, so that the artillery can continue to push forward.
"Dong Dong ~~" cannon took the lead in firing, and the light was sprinkled to the Huai army position, although the black smoke was billowing out, and a puff of dirt and stones was lifted into the air, but not too many corpses were blown up, obviously, the Huai army according to the cruel reality that the artillery could not fight the Democratic Alliance Army, and made a lot of effort in the bunker fortifications.
Perhaps under the position, there are dense tunnels, and in the Battle of Shangganling, the People's Liberation Army relied on tunnels to repel the attacks of the US army again and again.
However, the Democratic Alliance Army did not care about the empty shells at all, and only needed to suppress the Huai Army's artillery and let the small mountain artillery deploy.
Ten minutes later, the small mountain artillery was deployed in turn, and the remnants of the Huai army's artillery fired, but it had no effect, and the shells that were several times denser than before were fired at the Huai army's position, and the Huai army could only watch the artillery position be completely destroyed.
However, the trench with a depth of five kilometers is difficult to destroy by artillery alone, and the infantry needs to occupy it layer by layer, and it is the Fourth Army that is responsible for the frontal assault task.
A dense exchange of fire rang out, and sure enough, the fortifications built by the Huai army played a role, and both sides exchanged fire cautiously, with grenades and mortar shells flying all over the sky.
And Wang Feng's focus was on the Huai army's scramble for the mountain, and if the mountain could not be recaptured, the Huai army could only be captured, so he specially told Su Sanniang's department not to be too impatient, to maintain pressure on the Huai army, and not to wantonly increase troops on the mountain.
After all, if there are too many people, it will seriously affect the defense of the camp.
Liu Mingchuan and the others were anxious, but they all understood that the top of the mountain was the key, and they all turned their heads to look over.
On the hillside, you can see that there are obviously two troops, one is the Huai army, the other is the Democratic Alliance army, under normal circumstances, the Democratic Alliance army will never be able to go up the mountain first, no matter how many people come, it is useless, but the current problem is that now the hill has been occupied by a small team of the Democratic Alliance Army, and this team has not yet been found.
"Bang bang~~" There was also a faint sound of gunfire on the mountain, although a few people were killed, but Liu Mingchuan and Zhou Shunbo both secretly said yes, because only by shooting can the approximate number and location of the Democratic Alliance on the top of the mountain be judged, and then make targeted arrangements.
All of a sudden, the high-ranking Huai army in the battalion put their eyes on the binoculars and looked nervously at the top of the mountain.
"Bang bang bang~~" There are more and more fire points, accompanied by the sound of explosions, a puff of smoke rises from the hillside, and occasionally black dots rise from the top of the mountain, bringing more violent explosions.
After a while, Zhou Shengbo put down the binoculars and said: "I'm sure that there will be no more than two hundred people on the top of the mountain, as long as these two hundred people are eliminated, the nearly 10,000 people over there can only come and go, send orders, transfer artillery to strike one by one, and cooperate with the mountain attack troops!" ”
The artillerymen hurriedly turned their guns and aimed at the top of the hill, and in a short time, a puff of flames erupted, and a dense burst of fire broke out on the hillside. (To be continued......)
