Chapter 17: Fighting a Rabbit
The enemy is still a hundred kilometers from the base, which is the maximum radius of the base detection at the moment. With the marching speed of the cavalry, it will take three hours to enter the attackable area, Zhong Yi is still in a state of ecstasy, and the reward for this promotion to the school officer is too cool, is this the legendary big level jump or the second transfer? The mission objectives are also ...... Hey, how do you say that? In peacetime, this goal is quite difficult, destroying more than twice the number of the enemy itself, and not every army can easily achieve it. But in the current situation, the armored company dominated by Type 59 tanks VS the cavalry regiment that is still stuck in the First World War, hehe, in the second Gulf War, is the gap between the US military and the Iraqi National Guard as big as it is now?
By the way, didn't the U.S. military of later generations always clamor for a "zero casualty" war? Watch buddies show them what real zero casualties are.
Qian Zhihao in the reconnaissance car sent back a message: There was a cavalry team of nearly 1,000 people approaching the direction of the base at high speed, and the guard squad had already gotten rid of the enemy as planned. Coming, Zhong Yi switched the communicator to Huo Lu, who was in charge of blocking the position at the gate: the enemy would appear in two hours and act according to plan.
And then...... After the last bullet and fright, the Red Alert soldiers resolutely opposed the commander's visit to the front-line position, in Jiang Yunzhi's words: Sir, you are waiting for the good news in the main building of the base, you have strategized, and we are in the decisive battle!
"Damn, isn't this depriving Lao Tzu of the right to participate in the war?" Zhong Yi protested several times, but Jiang Yunzhi had to give in to the comrades of the commander with the signatures of all the officers.
A platoon of sappers has been recruited, the base has less than 100,000 available funds, and before the end of the battle, the mining trucks have also stopped at the edge of the smelter to suspend mining. "If you spend money like this, the landlord's family will not have much food left. It's still necessary to save money and open source! Zhong Yi sighed, but still clicked on the recruitment of two scientists, Grandpa Deng said, is science and technology the primary productive force! The Buddha manifests, God bless, I don't know which way this land belongs to the gods, anyway, let's worship, bless us These two scientists are army equipment experts, don't get us a dynamics or naval ship, that's not bad, but now we don't need it, right? β
Feeling that the time was almost up, Zhong Yi turned the camera of the holographic screen to the gate of the base. Relying on two machine-gun pillboxes, Huo Lu led a platoon of soldiers to build a semi-circular position, because the opponent was cavalry, so their trenches were dug very wide, and behind the bunker more than one meter high was a deep trench more than two meters wide, making it difficult for the cavalry to jump over, thanks to an engineer squad that came up yesterday, these brothers not only carried rifles on their backs, but also each of them was equipped with a small sapper shovel.
In addition to the machine gun pillboxes on both sides, there are two Type 56 squad light machine guns on the position, and there is a Type 58 heavy machine gun with chain ammunition in the middle, Huo Lu has prepared ten barrels for spare, and the bullets are more than 2,000 rounds that have been loaded into a pile of chains, and the base is now standard Type 56 assault rifles and light and heavy machine gun bullets, all of which are 7. 62 mm caliber, which makes the supply pressure on logistics much less.
Coupled with two 60mm mortar runs and two 40mm grenade launchers, with the firepower configuration of the position, Huo Lu was confident that he would leave half of the cavalry regiment at the gate, but the commander insisted on fighting a battle with zero casualties, only allowing himself to hold out for twenty minutes and then quickly retreat by personnel carrier. Using full armor to deal with other cavalry, Huo Lu lamented the indecency of the commander's tactics, and was deeply saddened that the enemy's cavalry regiment encountered an opponent like the commander, how did the captured major Rooney say? Yes, no gentlemanly manners.
Yes, Zhong Yi thinks that talking nonsense to the enemy on the battlefield is irresponsible to the soldiers under him, and a thousand enemies are not as important as the life of a soldier on his side, if you abandon the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, you can win the war, you can reduce the casualties of the troops, then, let me be more obscene!
"Under the command of the commander, our South China Liberation Army was invincible in World War II. The outside world always likes to call Jiang Yunzhi, the commander of the Guards, and the national general Lin who slashed the Malay Tiger Mountain in Nanyang as the two major military gods of the South China Army, but in fact, behind every large-scale battle, there is the commander's bloody plan. I think it is unfair that the commander did not receive a corresponding place in the military history of the world, although he himself never cared. βQuoted from "Days by the Emperor's Side"
The battle began at 14:32 p.m. on October 20, 1934, and the cavalry regiment of the 3rd Australian Division did not send any more liaison officers, but directly launched a charge two kilometers away from the gate of the base. In World War I, there was an Australian cavalry under the command of British officers, in a dense charge, defeated the Turkish army equipped with machine guns and artillery, which was also the only glory of the Australian army in the entire World War.
This time, however, their opponents were not a group of workers and peasants who had just taken up arms, or a group of Turkish soldiers who could not even hold their guns in the face of galloping horses. On the opposite side of them, the Chinese Tiger Liberation Army, known as the Land Tiger, is a Red Guard soldier with arduous training and firm faith, when the Australian cavalry holding high the knight's sword has just rushed into the distance of 800 meters, the heavy machine guns on the position burst out like a heartbreak, the light machine guns in the pillbox and on the position also opened fire, the "da-da" sound of the Type 56 squad machine gun is as harmonious as a quartet, and the repertoire played is the call of death. The most terrifying thing is that the unlucky ones who were hit by the powerful tearing force of the heavy machine guns were the unlucky people who were hit by the powerful tearing force of the heavy machine guns, whether it was a horse or a man who was hit, in this dense charging formation, falling to the ground means death, and more cavalry did not die from machine gun bullets, but died tragically under the iron hooves of their comrades.
A hundred meters, a hundred meters of red soil on the desert were stained redder by the blood that flowed into a river; A hundred meters, every meter in the desperate charge path left at least two cavalry warriors. When the peculiar "knock, knock" sound of the mortar sounded, the cavalrymen's long-awaited retreat order was finally issued, this is not called retreat at all, this is a race against death, the machine gun bullets behind him are still extremely dense, and the mortar shells prolong the shelling, like heavy stones falling into the water, but the splash is red blood. People who have never been on the battlefield will not understand how lucky it must be to be able to run back unharmed under such a blow.
Zhong Yi, who had been staring at the battlefield through the holographic map, sighed, such a scene reminded him of the Bali Bridge, the tragedy of the brave Mongolian prince and the Mongolian cavalry. Press the intercom, connect the infantry fighting vehicle behind the front gate, and ask the communication soldier to call Huo Lu who is in the hurry, just heard Huo Lu's voice, Zhong Yi is scolding: "You bastard, Lao Tzu asked you to introduce the enemy into the base, what should you do if you hit so hard at the first pull, what should you do if you run away?" β
β¦β¦ Huo Lu Khan, patronizing it, was full of firepower, and as a result, he forgot the task requirements assigned by the commander. "I'm sorry, sir, I'm so excited, it's like beating a rabbit."
"Damn...... It really scared everyone away, so I'm the only one who asks! β
"Yes, sir, resolutely complete the task and don't beat them away!"
