Chapter 61: Mongolia (7)

With the order of the artillery company commander, six 105-caliber cannons and more than a dozen 82-caliber mortars of the Russian army poured out tongues of fire together. Suddenly, sand and rocks flew on the position of the advance camp, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

The officers and men of the advance battalion covered their ears and hid in the anti-artillery holes, counting the shells that landed next to them. Lao Maozi is worthy of being a country that pursues the doctrine of artillery, and this cannon can be fired for half an hour without panting, and it will blow up the officers and men of the company at the forefront into a daze.

"Ahh Zheng Xiaoyou spat fiercely, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the cannon in his ears gradually subside, just now he saw with his own eyes that several soldiers were hit by shells and exploded without a trace.

"Company commander, Lao Maozi is here!" Word came from the observation post.

Zheng Xiaoyou poked his head out and saw the old Maozi of a battalion about 600 meters away bending over and slowly pressing towards his position.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xiaoyou instructed: "Everyone check the weapons and ammunition, prepare for battle, and remember not to let the sand get into the barrel." Watching the brothers silently check the firearms, Zheng Xiaoyou also carried a box of six or seven weighted wooden-handled grenades to his side, and slowly unscrewed the lid.

When the enemy reached the range of 400 meters, the soldiers armed with Garand rifles opened fire, accompanied by the crisp sound of Garand and the distinctive tearing of the tarpaulin of the MG34 machine gun.

The Russian army on the opposite side did not show weakness, and the sound of Mosinagan rifles began to sound, corresponding to the sound of the "click" of the Dzhegarev light machine gun.

It has to be said that the advance battalions have an advantage in light weapons. The sudden volley of six MG34 machine guns swept the Russian soldiers down like wheat harvesting, and the rest of them lay on the ground and couldn't even lift their heads.

The ferocious firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side surprised Colonel Andrei, who was observing behind with a telescope, and the sound seemed to be a new German machine gun, which had only been known by name in the past, but today I finally saw his power. He couldn't figure out how the yellow-skinned monkey on the other side could have such an advanced weapon?

Seeing that his soldiers could only lie on the ground and could not move, Andrei quickly ordered the mortars to suppress the enemy's fire, and the sound of the cannon that had just stopped rang out again.

With a "boom", a machine gun position less than 20 meters away from Zheng Xiaoyou was blown into the sky.

"Smack" slapped the helmet fiercely, and Zheng Xiaoyou shouted loudly, "Fire platoon, kill that dog's mortar!" ”

With the slight sound of "whoosh", after a while, several 60 mortar shells flew towards the mortar position of the Russian army, seeing that his artillery fire was temporarily suppressed, Andrei's face was very ugly, is this the rumored vulnerable Chinese army?

"Comrade Andrey, you should order the soldiers to speed up the charge, as long as they rush to the front of the enemy, it will be a victory." I don't know when the regimental commissar Vasily ran to the side and said loudly.

"Comrade Vasily, you also saw that the enemy's fire was fierce, and our fighters suffered heavy casualties."

"Comrade Andrey, I have to remind you that our brave Red Army fighters are invincible, they have a brave revolutionary will to overcome all difficulties, they will not be intimidated by a few machine guns." Vasily's face now lost the smile that sounded like it was in the air.

"Okay" Seeing that the political commissar put on a businesslike posture, Andrei called the battalion commander in charge of the attack, "Battalion commander of the Miliao family, no matter what method you use, you must make the soldiers move, rush to the enemy's position with all your might, and destroy the enemy,"

Looking at the political commissar with a serious face beside him, the battalion commander of the Mi Liao family had no choice but to reluctantly order the soldiers to take the risk and launch a charge.

"Ula" saw that the Russian soldiers who were originally lying on the ground launched a charge again, and the remaining four MG34 machine guns on the position of the company suddenly found their target and poured out tongues of fire frantically.

"Comrades, for the sake of great Russia, rush!" A Russian captain brandished a Tokarev TT33 pistol and encouraged the soldiers to charge forward, when suddenly a bullet pierced his eye, and the tumbling 7.62 caliber bullet suddenly brought out his white brain, and the captain immediately fell on his back without saying a word.

The soldier next to him didn't even look at him, and continued to bend over and trot forward.

"Hit, hit me hard." At this time, Li Yuan, the little fat squad leader, had lost his smiling face. At this time, a recruit next to him shot out a row of eight bullets without even looking, and the rate of fire of the Garand rifle was extremely fast, and all the bullets could be fired without pulling the bolt and pulling the trigger several times.

With a crisp "ding", the rifle's magazine automatically popped out, and the soldier quickly found another row of magazines and loaded it in. "The dog said, you aim at the point for me and then shoot, don't you need money as a bullet?" He was kicking the private's ass. "** waste of bullets, next time Lao Tzu will send you to block the gun hole" Seeing the squad leader's red eyes, the recruit quickly forced himself to take a deep breath, and slowly put an old man into the aiming ring. With a "snap", an old hairy man on the opposite side fell on his back.

"Okay, that's right, just fight like this." Li Yuan patted the private on the shoulder.

As soon as he looked up and saw that the Russian army had entered an effective firing range of more than 100 meters, the little fat squad leader also quickly raised the Suomi 31 and began to strafe.

Wang Changqing stood in the battalion command post and saw through the observation mirror that the first company was fighting impressively under the strong attack of the Russian army, and couldn't help but nod.

"Someone, order the mortar to give fire support to a company of one-third of the base." It's not that Wang Changqing is stingy, I don't know how long it will take to fight until now, and the shells can be saved.

As dozens of mortar shells fell in the formation of the Russian attack, the attacking Russian army could not bear it anymore and finally retreated.

"Cowards, you are all a bunch of cowards, you are not worthy of being a brave Red Army soldier, your existence can only discredit our glorious banner." The Tokarev pistol in Vasily's hand was smoking, and at his feet lay the commander of the Miglio battalion, who was in charge of the attack.

Enraged, Vasily resolutely exercised his right as a political commissar (he could shoot any officer below the rank of lieutenant colonel without interrogation).

Andre looked at the remnants of less than 100 soldiers left in a battalion full of more than 500 people before the attack, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. To be honest, he thought that the battalion commander of the Mi Liao family had fulfilled his duty, but his luck was not good, and the firepower of the Huaxia army on the opposite side was too strong, which led to heavy losses and finally defeated and retreated.

But he could not say these words, and the right to shoot the officers who were disadvantaged in the war was the right of the political commissar personally given by the great Comrade Stalin, and whoever dared to oppose it would have the best result to spend the rest of his life in the concentration camps of Western Lea.

"Comrade Andrei, I think these cowards are no longer worthy of the glorious title of the Russian Red Army. They should go to the atonement camp and use their blood to atone for their crimes", as soon as this sentence came out, the hundreds of remnants in front of them suddenly turned pale and bowed their heads like dead fathers and mothers.

Speaking of the Atonement Camp, it is a major feature of the Russian [***] team, which was formed by order of Moscow, and they are composed of death row prisoners, criminals, deserters, and political prisoners. They will fight in the most dangerous areas, washing away with their own blood the crimes they committed against their homeland, if the infantry is a bunch of cannon fodder, then the atonement battalion is cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

It has been calculated that the survival rate in the camp is less than 1 in 1,000.

Looking at the frightened and trembling soldiers in front of him, Andre hardened his heart and waved his hand, and suddenly a platoon of soldiers came over and pressed these remnants down. When the next attack begins, they rush to the front of the attacking team to act as a meat shield.

Seeing these remnants being crushed, Vasily's mood seemed to improve a lot. He said to Andrei: "Comrade Andrei, I think you should increase the intensity of artillery fire and flatten the enemy's positions with powerful artillery fire. ”

Andrei frowned, "Comrade Vasily, we are running out of shells to carry, I think we should save some money." ”

"No, no, dear Comrade Andrei, I don't think you need to worry about the shells, at the latest this evening our respected division commander Padanov will come here with a large force, and then you still have to worry about the shells?" Vasily agitated Andrey like a chattering pimp.

"Well, order the artillery to immediately launch an artillery strike on the enemy's positions." Andrei finally made up his mind to take out the last old book.

"Woo woo" Hearing a familiar sound in the air, the soldiers on the position immediately drilled into the anti-artillery hole, and after a while, another sound of shaking mountains sounded beside it.

Zheng Xiaoyou watched a machine gun team that had not rushed into the anti-artillery hole to be blown away by the shell, and his heart was as painful as a knife, and in an instant, at least half of the platoon of soldiers was covered by the artillery fire just now.

The shelling lasted for a long time, and the Russian army fought for a full hour. When the Russian army stopped shelling, Zheng Xiaoyou came out with a company of brothers, and found that the position had been blown beyond recognition.

There was no time to rebuild the position, and the officers and men had to hold back the enemy from the broken position.

"Ula", at this time, more than 100 Russian soldiers who had their collar badges torn off shouted the slogan of the Slavs when they charged, as if they did not know death, and rushed over.

The only two MG34s left in the company let out another roar, and the sound of "da-da-da" was accompanied by the sound of Garand rifles, and in less than five minutes, these people all fell on the road less than 150 meters from the position.

"Company commander, are these fools being beaten stupidly, why do they rush over like idiots to send them to death?" At this time, Li Yuan, the little fat man, leaned over to Zheng Xiaoyou's side and asked.

"How do I know" Zheng Xiaoyou said angrily: "You have to take care of your machine gun yourself, if there is any mistake, I will throw you out as a grenade." ”

There were only two machine guns left, and Li Yuan knew about it, and at that moment, he quickly patted his chest and expressed his determination, and then ran to the side of the machine gun to personally supervise the battle.

The battle had reached noon, and both sides were exhausted.

Even the most active political commissar Vasily had to agree with Andrei and agree to stop the offensive and have lunch first.

There was a brief lull on the battlefield.

Well, today's first shift is here. Brothers, give me some strength.
