Chapter 207: The Devil
After the first round of shelling, the ridge on which Fort No. 6 was located was completely covered in smoke, and even the wind blowing from the bay could not blow away the thick smoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The smoke of gunfire obscured everything, so much so that the balloons behind the artillery positions could not discern the effect of the shelling, and in the absence of the ability to discern the effect of the shelling, the artillery units could only carry out extended firing according to the predetermined plan, in the hope that the shells would gradually approach the intended target and eventually destroy them.
At this time, the shells fired by the Northeast Army flew in groups from different directions, like wheat winches spraying grains, like raindrops falling on the Russian fortress.
Battery No. 6 was like an earthquake under the bombardment of dozens of siege guns, and the once impregnable fortress was completely destroyed in the shaking of the ground, and the collapsed fort was littered with twisted steel bars, and even the barrel of the cannon was blown off.
Also shrouded in gunsmoke are the siege artillery positions, those short and thick siege guns, also shrouded in choking gunsmoke, they can't see the Russian fortress shrouded in smoke, and the Russians can't see them, they don't even know where their shells hit, just according to the yuan given by the commanders, they keep loading and pulling the cannon rope.
The remnant sun was like blood, dyeing the ice and snow on the earth red, shrouded in gunsmoke, and the remnant sun slowly sank into the western ridge amid the sound of cannons. The sound of artillery still shook the earth, and as the night came, the mood of the Russian officers and soldiers swaying in the rain of bullets on the No. 6 artillery barrier was unusually heavy at this time.
Although the war had only lasted for a week, each of them knew very well that the night belonged to the Chinese! After nightfall, the Chinese will definitely attack! Now the fortress has been almost completely destroyed. The rest is up to them!
"Kill those yellow monkeys!"
"Don't be defeated by the yellow monkeys......"
Words like these echoed in the forts. But full of words of racial pride. But it is impossible to hide the fact that the fortress has been almost completely destroyed, and they are suffering in fear!
The Russian officers and soldiers, who were hiding in the fortified fortress of the snake's belly, heard the whistling sound of the shells falling from the shooting hole, and only felt the explosion getting closer and closer, as if it were exploding over their heads. The sound of the explosion getting closer and closer made the fear in their hearts grow stronger and stronger.
The shells finally exploded above their heads, and perhaps the serpentine fort could withstand the shelling of 12-inch guns, but it could not stop the siege shells at a nearly 90-degree angle. The cold-forged hard steel warhead pierced through the three or four meters thick overburden on the Serpent's Belly Fort, and then continued to impact downward. Because of excessive energy consumption, the cannonballs that eventually ran out of energy were embedded in the concrete roof of the snake belly fort, and then the delay fuse played its role, with the explosion of dozens of kilograms, the incomparably strong snake belly fort was blown up, and the smoke of the ash instantly swallowed the snake belly fort that stretched in the mountain, and the explosion sound was mixed with the screams of terror, echoing in the snake belly fort.
The whistling shells did not stop because of the fear of the Russians, and they continued to fly high into the air from various artillery positions, and then from high to the almost leveled artillery barracks. The whistle of the whistle of the train with the shells in the vertical corners, in the shocking whistling. It falls to the ground and explodes in the depths of the fortress or inside the mountain, sending out the screams of death as the earth shakes the mountain, and the pillar of smoke in the air is like the devil spitting out hellish fireworks.
At this moment, those siege guns were showing the world their amazing power, and the once impregnable fortresses were razed to the ground, and the simple fortifications, and hundreds of thousands of shells fired by howitzers, field guns, and mortars were completely destroyed.
The rubble, barbed wire, and deer rocks were blown to pieces, and the Russian troops of the 24th Brigade ran and dodged in all directions in the smoke of gunpowder and in the flying shrapnel, and their fortifications were smashed at the same time. Some of their bodies would be torn apart by shrapnel and flying stones, and the unprecedented intensity of the shelling drove some of the defenders out of the trenches and into the bomb-shelters behind the hills, which were almost the only safe places for them, except for the occasional heavy shells, which were fired from large-caliber mortars, and the only firepower that posed a threat to the anti-slope, but they could not destroy the bomb-shelters, even if the bunkers were just the most ordinary civil fortifications.
At the beginning of the shelling, on the position of the Fifth Mixed Brigade, the eyes of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers looked up at the Russian artillery fortress hundreds of meters away, the officers and soldiers in the trenches held their weapons in a posture of leaping forward and charging at any time, and the signal soldiers carrying wires and telephones stared at the commander beside them.
Sappers who had already lurked at the foot of the mountain were using blasters to eliminate the barbed wire laid by the Russian army, and several narrow offensive roads were blown up in those barbed wires.
As the artillery fire slowly extended to the top of the hill, a shrill whistle sounded in the trenches. The rapid shouts of the soldiers sounded, and first the three companies rushed out together, charging in three directions with their waists on their waists, and advancing towards the fort after the artillery fire. This was a typical artillery follow-up tactic, and after the first unit rushed out, the troops of the second and third sectors followed suit.
One regiment, two regiments...... Almost immediately after the order to attack was given, in less than five minutes, as many as six battalions of infantry units were thrown into the battlefield on that not very open front, and in such a narrow place, such a number of troops were thrown into order to be able to take down the Russian artillery base and pave the way for the next offensive.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the attacking troops approached the bottom trench at the foot of the fort hill, and the few remaining Russian officers and men in the trench immediately launched a counter-charge when they spotted the attacking troops.
It was a battle that was predestined from the beginning - in addition to sharp bayonets, a dense rain of bullets awaited this group of Russian soldiers, and the sergeants armed with riverside pistols suppressed the Russian counter-charge with their short firepower, and before the Russian soldiers could react, the bayonets stabbed from all directions pierced bloody holes in their bodies.
Even more lethal was the lethal fire of the machine guns with temporary bipods, and the war always allowed the troops to learn to fight in the first place, and adapt the weapons to the battle. The light machine gun, which was once used as an experimental product, was equipped only with elite troops. And the fighters found out in battle after the light machine gun acted. Immediately exerted their ingenuity, made the legs of the light machine gun out of steel and even iron wire, and even grabbed the handle on the barrel straight, held the waist and shot, pouring bullets on the heads of the Russians like a water pipe.
During the battle, a warrant officer with a machine gun shooter rushed to the front, and as soon as the Russians began to counterattack, the machine gunner swooped down on the ground covered with rubble. The machine-gun mount was firing at the Russians on the soft ground, and the warrant officer himself was crouched tightly behind a large rock, holding a pistol and firing at the Russians with a rifle along with the surrounding fighters.
In the whole process, the only machine gun, like a fire hose, kept waving its firepower, knocking the counterattacking Russian troops to the ground, in order to obtain continuous firepower, the sub-shooter even loaded a hundred rounds of heavy machine gun drums on the machine gun, but it was only a short minute effort. The barrel of the gun was red. But the machine gunner was still desperate to strafe at all odds.
While the Russian army's frontal counterattack was being suppressed to the death, the flank troops had already circled to the other side of the trench at the foot of the mountain. Occupy a Russian bunker destroyed by artillery fire in a gap, approach the flank of the resisting Russian army, and attack the remnants of the Russian army that is desperately counterattacking.
The warrant officer, who was originally shooting at the Russian army, rushed to the edge of the trench with a few steps at the moment when the enemy's fire was transferred, followed by dozens of fighters who were also carrying rifles and bright bayonets, jumped out and pounced on the enemy, they threw grenades and rushed over with bayonets.
As soon as the warrant officer who arrived at the trench stabilized his body, he saw the Russian soldier rushing with a gun, his right hand was raised, and he pulled the trigger several times at the Russian army who were trying to start a white-knuckle battle, and the special dummmy bullet was specially made to enhance the lethality at this time, and its power was fully exerted at this time, directly knocking the Russian soldier to the ground, he didn't even care about looking at the Russian soldier's Tianling cover that was lifted by the bullet, grabbed a grenade with his left hand, and threw it towards the entrance of the Russian bunker, at the moment of the grenade explosion, The soldiers who followed directly stuffed a blasting canister of several kilograms into it. With a violent explosion, the Russian officers and soldiers of the underground fortifications were suddenly buried alive,
After filling the magazine with a bridge clip, the warrant officer jumped forward with a grenade in one hand and a gun in the other.
"Rush! Follow me! ”
With a shout from the commander and a whistle that followed, all the warriors were like cheetahs, braving the rain of bullets on the crater-ridden mountain road, climbing a small hill into which it entered.
It was a platform on the mountainside, where there used to be a fortress, but it had been razed to the ground, and in this bombed, soft mountain, the entrance to a black hole was open, it was the entrance to a snake-belly fort, from which a large group of Russian soldiers had rushed out.
The soldiers and the Russian army launched a fierce face-to-face tearing, the dense crowd of bullets flew horizontally, in the sunset flashing cold light bayonet flying in the air, in this beast-like tearing fight, the Chinese and Russian soldiers will be red-eyed, the Russians desperately want to drive this group of people down, and the soldiers who just rushed up want to kill all the Russian troops.
The warrant officer who commanded the battle met a Russian soldier who was a head taller than him on the edge of the cliff, the warrant officer grabbed the gun and fired, but the gun was empty, the Russian soldier who had not known where the gun was thrown with his bare hands, howled, and rushed towards the warrant officer, like a bear, with strength and a high advantage of the Russian soldier who pounced, suddenly caught the warrant officer off guard, he let go of the pistol and just wanted to meet it, but was thrown to the ground by the Russian bear hug, and his hand was firmly buckled.
The detained warrant officer could only use his knees to strike the enemy from the side, while the Russian, with his strength and bulk, constantly hit him with his head, and even put his free arm against the warrant officer's neck, as if strangling him.
"Woo......"
The warrant officer who was hit on the bridge of the nose wanted to call his comrades to come over to help when he was beaten, but who would have thought that the more angry he was, the more he couldn't shout. Feeling that his hands were getting weaker and weaker, he opened his mouth and bit down on the Russian's neck, desperately biting, he only felt that his mouth was full of blood, and finally even the blood was pouring into his mouth, and after a while, the Russian soldier who was still trying to kill him stopped moving, and the Russian who had been bitten off the carotid artery in his neck was convulsed, and the blood continued to rush into the warrant officer's mouth, and he was very thirsty and drank several sips despite the smell of blood.
"Maybe this is thirsty for the blood of the Huns......"
The blood of the Russians relieved the thirst in the throat of the warrant officer, he gulped the blood, after the continuous tearing, he was already thirsty, if at the beginning, the blood gushed into his mouth unintentionally, then now he was actively drinking the blood gushing from the necks of the Russian soldiers.
When a Russian soldier pounced on the other side with a bayonet, he was startled by the bloodied enemy, or more precisely, by his movements—he saw the Chinese pushing a corpse, biting and gulping blood between his neck.
In his eyes, this Chinese with a bloody face was like the man-eating devil in hell.
"Devil! You're the devil......"
The Russian soldier muttered words, and the fear that he had never felt before spread in his heart, and he wanted to rush up and stab the devil to death, but he couldn't lift his feet, he wanted to shoot, but he found that he was not loaded, and he wanted to load it, but he couldn't let go of the hand holding the gun. He stood there stunned, and the warrant officer on the ground was not much better than him, he just gulped the blood, like a walker in the desert who had been out of water for a long time, and the blood of the enemy seemed to have become a sweet spring, and he drank and sucked it in sip, until the blood seemed to be drunk, and then he looked up at the enemy with the gun, and looked at the bayonet that was close at hand, he did not feel fear, but grinned a smile.
"Devil, you're a devil......"
The smile only made the Russian soldier's scalp tingle, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, and as he screamed in terror, he felt as if all his strength had returned to his body, and he hurriedly turned the bolt of the rifle to reload the rifle and kill the devil.
Kill this devil, just as the Russian soldier muttered this sentence in his mouth, he finished loading with a bang, and was about to shoot, a soldier with a gun rushed over next to him, and the sharp bayonet pierced directly into the left rib of the Russian soldier, piercing his heart, and when the Russian soldier fell in despair, the soldier rushed over and pulled up the commander who was pressed by the heavy corpse, looking at the commander with a full face, he asked nervously while pulling.
"Platoon Leader, how are you?" (To be continued.) )
