192 Battle of the Breakthrough
In the full-speed fire just now, the smoke from the muzzle of the cannon formed a large cloud of smoke, which was quickly discovered by the mountain artillery troops on the Spanish position, and the mountain artillery troops immediately launched an artillery bombardment.
A shell fell behind Lin Fei's artillery position, making a "boom" sound, a thick black smoke rose into the air, Lin Fei's staff officers and sniper team members heard the explosion and hurriedly threw themselves on Lin Fei, directly knocking Lin Fei to the ground, Lin Fei scolded with a smile: "What are you doing? Didn't you hear that the shells were 108,000 miles away from me? ”
Chief of the General Staff Li Ming hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that the enemy's shells have hit us, let's hurry into the command post." ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "Now that the general offensive has begun, I should also go to the command post to control the overall situation, let's go to the command post." ”
There is a command post built on the 2000-meter attack position, the command post is high, overlooking the entire battlefield, and there are telephones connecting various units in the command post, Lin Fei walked into the command post, and the staff officers inside saluted and greeted, Lin Fei returned the salute casually, and then said: "Order the observation post to find out the enemy's artillery, and then kill it." ”
A staff officer hurriedly grabbed the phone to convey the order, Lin Fei looked down at the battlefield, only to see that the trenches were filled with gunsmoke, his troops were fighting fiercely with the enemy, and it turned out that the third regiment had already encountered the Spanish soldiers in the other defensive sections.
The Spanish officers once again resorted to monetary incentives, the Spanish soldiers roared angrily and pounced on the trenches where the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops were, some took the traffic trenches, some took the open space outside the trenches, the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops raised their guns and fired back, because the two sides were very close, so the bullets could not stop all the Spaniards, they jumped into the trenches and started face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops.
The various units of the 3rd Regiment knew that the trenches were narrow and not conducive to hand-to-hand combat, and when they saw the enemy rushing into the trenches, they jumped out of the trenches one after another and launched a counter-charge against the Spanish soldiers.
After the Battle of the Highlands in the small town of Sampala, Lin Fei realized that in front of the tall Westerners, the small Orientals had a natural deficiency in hand-to-hand combat, so he promoted the dumpling-making tactics of the Great Company to the whole army, so that every army could learn this tactic, which really came in handy at this time.
The soldiers of Lin Fei's troops continued to create opportunities to fight more and less, one attracted on the front, and the other stabbed on the side, the Spaniards were constantly killed and wounded, but the Spaniards did not realize that hand-to-hand combat can also have tactics, they were completely fighting with the soldiers of Lin Fei's troops with their bodies, although the Spaniards were backward in tactics, but there were many people, and it was difficult to solve the problem for Lin Fei's troops for a while.
The situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable to Lin Fei's troops, that is, the Spanish troops attacked Lin Fei's troops from the east and west at the same time, and Lin Fei's troops could only divide their troops to resist, and in the long run, they would inevitably be driven out of the trenches by the Spaniards.
Lin Fei took in this qiē, reached out to pick up the phone, and said, "Pick me up the commander of the second regiment of the first brigade, Wang Siqi." ”
Wang Siqi was one of the prisoners of war rescued by Lin Fei from Japan, he was born in a family of scholars, which can be seen from his name, "Siqi" comes from the words of Confucius: "See the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect yourself." "Most people can't come up with such a name.
In this era, there are many families who are in the middle of the road, and Wang Siqi's family is also one of them, which also responds to Mencius's words: "The gentleman's Ze is beheaded by the fifth generation." Wang Siqi's house was ruined, and he was reduced to the point of participating in the Qing army's mixed meals.
Wang Siqi had studied in private school, so he learned various military skills and operational command techniques relatively quickly, because he could understand Lin Fei's handwriting, unlike others, who had to recognize words before learning various things. Lin Fei made him an officer and rose all the way to the commander of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade.
Lin Fei took the microphone and said, "Wang Siqi?" I'm Lin Fei..."
Wang Siqi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”
Lin Fei said loudly: "Order your unit to immediately enter the enemy defense line from the breakthrough opened by the third regiment of the first brigade, and then attack to the east, and after entering the enemy defense line, find Liu Chaofan, tell him, and lead the third regiment to attack to the west." ”
Wang Siqi replied loudly: "Understood...", and then led the second regiment to rush to the breach, and when they rushed to the breach, the battle between howitzers and mountain artillery also began.
Xu Deping took more than a dozen observers on the high ground, looking for the Spaniards' mountain artillery, the Spaniards' mountain artillery was originally scattered and deployed in various positions, some of the mountain artillery was far away from Lin Fei's artillery, and they couldn't hit Lin Fei's artillery at all, in order to give Lin Fei's artillery the maximum damage, they concentrated the mountain artillery in the distance and used it, the Spaniard's mountain artillery muzzle smoke was originally thick, and it was easier to be found when used in a concentrated manner, so Xu Deping quickly discovered four mountain artillery assembly sites.
Xu Deping found that the Spaniard's mountain artillery sent a message to Zhao Menggang, Zhao Menggang thought in his heart, at this time, the most important thing we should do is not to let the enemy artillery fire, so it is best to attack the artillery with anti-personnel shells, and if the artillery is lost, the mountain artillery will not be fired, Zhao Menggang immediately ordered the use of anti-personnel shells, and the shells also flew to the positions of the Spaniards.
In this contest, the shortcomings of the low rate of fire of the Spaniards' artillery were exposed, and their mountain artillery had to be re-aimed for every shot, while the Lin Fei artillery did not need to re-aim at all, and they could shoot down one by loading the shells, so when a shell fell on the Lin Fei artillery position, there were often three or four shells on the head of the Spaniards.
The mountain artillery of the Spaniards gradually could not hold up, although they were not mercenaries, but they were also very sorry for their lives, and some of them began to flee, and the commander did not dare to shoot them, because if they were shot, no one would fiddle with the mountain artillery.
The Spanish artillery gradually lost, and the infantry was not good, because the second regiment led by Wang Siqi entered the trenches, the numerical advantage of the Spanish infantry was gone, and the Spanish counterattack troops gradually could not resist and began to retreat.
As soon as the Spanish troops retreated, Liu Chaofan and Wang Siqi immediately led their subordinates to rush towards the defensive section of the No. 021 and No. 025 fortresses.
The two troops rushed towards the fortress, the Spaniards hid in the fort, the infantry fired from the firing port, the machine gunner turned the heavy machine gun muzzle and fired at Lin Fei's troops, but at this time the two regiments had formed a siege on the fortress on all sides, and the heavy machine guns could only hit in one direction, so Lin Fei's troops left a squad to attract heavy machine gun fire, and others attacked the fortress from all directions.
There were bullets fired by infantry in other directions, but Lin Fei's troops didn't care anymore, they threw down a corpse shot by the infantry, rushed to the gate of the fortress, several grenades were tied into a bundle, placed at the door, the grenade lead was tied with a long rope, and when it was pulled in the distance, there was a loud "boom", and the gate of the fortress flew into the sky.
The soldiers of Lin Fei's troops immediately threw the grenade into the fortress, and the sound of explosions sounded one after another in the fortress, and the shrapnel flew in all directions, beating the Spanish soldiers into a sieve, in the process, the fortress that the Spaniards were proud of became their life-threatening charm, and the shrapnel smashed the hard fortress wall and bounced in all directions, and there were almost no dead spots in the fortress that shrapnel could not hit.
The soldiers heard the Spanish soldiers on the bottom without a sound, and then rushed into the fortress, the fortress was full of gunsmoke, choking people's throats, the soldiers endured the smoke of gunpowder, rushed up the stairs that were blown up to the top floor, Lin Fei in order to capture the Spaniard's Maxim heavy machine gun, specially told the troops participating in the battle: "Do not use grenades on the top floor." ”
Therefore, the soldiers of each unit only used rifles, bullets to kill the Spaniards and wounded them, the rest of the people were frightened, knelt on the ground, raised their hands and surrendered, the soldiers died many brothers in the process of rushing to the fortress, at this time Lin Fei's instructions of "preferential treatment of prisoners" were left behind, and when they saw someone surrendering, they raised their guns and aimed them at the head is a shot.
The soldiers took the fortress, and then lifted the heavy machine gun to the top floor, which was in the open air, and there were battlements around it, and they could also shoot here, the Spaniards were afraid of Lin Fei's artillery, so they did not dare to go up to the top floor, Lin Fei's troops did not have such a threat, and unscrupulously lifted the heavy machine gun to the top floor and shot at the Spanish soldiers in the trenches of the next defensive section.
The Spanish soldiers were defenseless and were knocked down, and the other soldiers immediately put their bodies against the wall of the trench, curled up, and did not even dare to raise their heads......
Lin Fei saw in the distance that his troops were gradually expanding the scope of the breakthrough, picked up the phone and said, "Pick me up from the commander of the first regiment of the first brigade, Liu Jun." ”
After a while, Liu Jun's voice rang on the phone: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”
Lin Fei ordered loudly: "Order your unit to enter the enemy trenches immediately and take over the second regiment to continue the attack." ”
Lin Fei gave this order to maintain the continuity of the attack to the greatest extent, he did not want to give the Spanish defenders a little respite, he wanted to completely defeat the first line of defense of the Spanish defenders in the first wave of attack.
Lin Fei's troops in the trenches expanded to the east and west, like a bamboo, in the headquarters of the first line of defense of the Spaniards, Governor Sanders could no longer sit still, the mountain artillery troops were defeated, the infantry troops were also defeated, the entire first line of defense was in danger, Sanders had to come up with some way to save the defeat.
Governor Sanders walked to the front of the map, stared at the map and thought for a while, then turned to the staff and said, "Order the troops of the second line of defense, leave the second line of defense, and support the first line of defense." ”
The staff officer cautiously persuaded: "Your Excellency, please think again, so that the second line of defense will be empty." ”
