Chapter 290: The Gap
Vasilyevich frowned, looked at the Northeast insurance team, which had completely besieged him, at the Yenisei River rolling behind the position, and sighed. He saw a look of fear in the eyes of the soldiers, officers, staff officers, everyone, all of whom were very pessimistic, including Vasilyevich himself.
What happened yesterday seemed to be a nightmare, and the emergence of a new weapon in the northeast instantly changed the situation on the battlefield. Although not many Russian soldiers actually died from that new weapon, its terrifying deterrent power still terrified everyone. And it was this chaos that was not too long, but it gave the Northeast Insurance Team an opportunity. Of the eight divisions on the east bank, four were attacked, while only one was spared...... At least it wasn't routed on the spot.
The reason why the Northeast was able to achieve such brilliant results, in addition to its own sharp attack, was more because the four divisions that were attacked were the divisions that Dragomilov ordered to withdraw to the west bank of the Yenisei River. The danger on the east bank was much higher than on the west bank, and these divisions were tired of the fierce battles for days, and they were all impatient to leave this land of beacons as soon as possible. Although the transfer plan was interrupted by the sudden flood of the Yenisei River, the people were confused, and the team was not easy to lead! The division, which had long been panicked, never thought that the northeast would directly launch an attack on them the day after the heavy rain stopped.
"Commander, what should we do?" The staff officer with a face of mud asked in a low voice. "Now the mud after the rain has somewhat blocked the offensive pace of the Northeasterners, but in the next few days, I am afraid that we will be wiped out."
Vasilyevich sat in the corner, he knew that what the staff officer said was right, but he also racked his brains and couldn't do anything. If several other encircled divisions, on the Yenisei River, and Dragomilov are trying their best to build pontoon bridges for them. Vasilyevich's division, Dragomilov did not have the slightest intention of rescuing at all. The request for help was sent to the headquarters, and the reply given by the headquarters was that there were not enough manpower and materials to quickly build a pontoon bridge over the Yenisei River. And the main reason is that there are not enough anti-aircraft guns for fire cover.
Although he said this on the surface, Vasilyevich was like a mirror in his heart, Dragomilov would not be saved when he saw death, and he was even likely to borrow the hand of the Northeast to get rid of his own thorn. Since the events of the last fake attack became known to Dragomilov, Vasilyevich's divisions have often not been replenished in time. If it weren't for the fact that there is a wide Yenisei River in the middle, and now is the critical juncture of the northeast offensive, Vasilyevich understands that if it were normal for him, he would have been given justice on the spot by Dragomilov.
The problem is that Vasilyevich doesn't care about his own life and death, but the 10,000 people under his command are all his subordinates, and he can't make a decision for a while. The only thing to be thankful for is that the Northeast Insurance Corps has not yet regarded their division as the main target of attack, and the 31st Infantry Division in the northern position is the real target.
"Launch a counterattack and break out?" Vasilyevich thought carefully, and his heart was like a big stone pressed against him, making it difficult for him to breathe. He took a few deep breaths before he spoke. "Meeting."
Because the progress of the battle was not as smooth as everyone in the Northeast Insurance Team expected, the artillery regiment that was originally used for long-range attacks, except for a guard battalion, the rest of the troops also began to advance. Hwako was holding a Bao 1 assault rifle, next to Hudson and Kim Geun Suk, who were holding the same weapons, and Haji himself was holding a sniper rifle. However, their attack did not go well, and a Russian earth-and-stone bunker blocked the road in front of them, and the superiority and ferocious firepower of the insurance team were too high to raise their heads.
A bullet swept over, although the bullet of the Hatch Chase machine gun was spherical, but when it hit the body, it not only hurt, but also died! The mud from the bullet hit his face a little painfully, and Kim Geun Suk lay on the ground, sweating all over his face, muttering Korean in his mouth. The insurance team around him is not much better than him, although they have all been trained in positional warfare, but now that they are immersive, it is impossible to say that they are not nervous.
The company commander Zhang Sanxiang was not far from Huazi, and when he saw several brothers being swept down by the fierce fire of the Russians, his eyes were red, and he said to the communication soldiers beside him: "Let the mortars blow up this pillbox." ”
After a while, the sound of shells cutting through the air came from far and near, and soon fell on the pillbox, but the effect of the explosion was not good. The other man was dumb for only a few minutes before starting to shoot again. Huazi climbed to Zhang Sanxiang's side at this time and said, "Company commander, it's not a way to go on like this, the Russians' turtle shell is too hard." Let a few squads of squad machine guns take cover, and I'll go up and blow him up. ”
Zhang Sanxiang glared and said, "Death!" Get out of the way, I've got a way! ”
Huazi was stunned for a moment, and saw Zhang Sanxiang call up an insurance team soldier with a strange weapon on his back from below, "This is ...... Flamethrower? ”
The flamethrower has been developed in the northeast for a long time, but it is rarely used on the battlefield against Russia, mainly because the flamethrower is not adaptable. When the weather is a little colder, there will be the so-called cold spray phenomenon, which is simply put, light fuel injection without ignition. Later, this problem was fed back to the General Armament Department, which attracted attention, and after the public relations of the expert group, it was finally resolved. The ignition device was modified to replace the original hydrogen ignition tube with a gunpowder tube. The gunpowder tube has ten fire caps, which can be ignited normally in severe cold conditions.
This new flamethrower from the Northeast, with a total weight of eighteen kilograms, is designed with a split double tank of a combustion tank and a spray tank, equipped with a back frame and a tank fixing frame, and the combustion can hold seven liters. The spray tank has a volume of three litres and has been replaced by safer liquid nitrogen instead of the original liquid hydrogen. Fuel tanks, ejector tanks, and nozzles all have flow limiting valves, and nozzle guides and fuel tanks have quick connectors. The flamethrower is capable of firing eight short bursts at a range of 20 to 30 meters.
Because it is the second type of flamethrower in the Northeast, it is named the Ho-2 flamethrower.
"Machine gun cover!" Zhang Sanxiang shouted.
Several squads in the company used the Bao 1 general-purpose machine guns to aim their guns at the Russians' earthen bunkers, and the frantic firepower suddenly made the Russians' tongues dumb.
With the help of Huazi and a few people, the Pyro quickly moved to the crater about twenty meters away from the bunker, and then people saw a fire dragon suddenly fly out, and then the sound of ghosts crying wolves was heard from the bunker.
"Rush me!" Zhang Sanxiang roared, and the position of the Russian army was once again torn open a breach.
