Chapter 760: Dense Fog Sneak Attack
As the two were talking, they heard a faint booming explosion, and their listless faces suddenly became energetic. Liu Qingshan jumped up directly and glanced at the door: "The mine has exploded!" Gu Beiwang replied: "Nameless Heights!" ”
The sudden attack of the rebels on a foggy morning cannot be overstated. "No, I'll take a company to reinforce the Nameless Heights, and you stay in the town." Liu Qingshan hurriedly made a decision, Gu Beiwang raised his hand to stop him and said: "There is no reason for this, you are the military commander, at this time, you must be in Tucheng, and I will go to the nameless highland." ”
"Okay, be careful on the road." Liu Qingshan was not hypocritical and made a decision immediately. Gu Beiwang didn't talk nonsense, just pulled his legs and left.
The garrison on the nameless heights had only one reinforced company, and the reinforced part consisted of two guns and two machine guns. Company commander Ou Zhongliang is a typical Han man in Northeast China, and he was still a ten-year-old boy at the time of the Lushun Campaign. Ou Zhongliang, whose parents died in the war, changed his life and was placed in the junior class of the military academy, where all the orphans were placed and there was someone to take care of them for life and study. The education that these dolls have received since childhood is that they eat and wear what Chen Xie wears, and this life is given by Chen Xie. Therefore, these people have extremely high loyalty to Chen Xie, and the battalion, company, and platoon officers within the entire mountain brigade are all cultivated through this channel.
The mine woke up Ou Zhongliang, who was sleeping in the tent, and after getting out, he glanced at the fire from the explosion in a hurry, and the commander of the fourth platoon of the reserve had already walked up to him and waited for orders. As soon as he saw the fog in the sky, Ou Zhongliang knew that there was trouble, and once it was not handled well, the problem would be big. "Fourth platoon leader, let your people enter the rear position immediately, don't let people copy the back road."
There were two lines of defense consisting of three platoons on the frontal position. Coupled with the storage of machine guns, Ou Zhongliang was not too worried. The most fearful thing about this weather is that people are close to fight in close combat, and if all the firepower can't be brought into play, then it's troublesome. The two sides of this high ground have been dug into many steep walls, which cannot be climbed under normal circumstances, and one squad of troops can hold one side. He is still worried about the back mountain. There is only one way over there, a way out or a way for the enemy to sneak attack. The high ground is not too big, and with the troops on the opposite side, the encirclement can be easily completed.
The camp of the shogunate army was in chaos, no one listened to the command's banner, the soldiers were running around, and at the critical moment, Ou Zhongliang arrived with a communicator, and without saying a word, he pulled out the revolver and ordered two unlucky people who ran around. The scene froze. These soldiers of the shogunate are doing some logistical work, and they are not expected to fight, but they can't be allowed to cause chaos, let alone internal ghosts.
Holding the still smoking revolver in his hand, standing beside the corpses of the two unlucky guys, Ou Zhongliang said to Qimoto: "Asakusa, control your people." Otherwise, you'll be next. "The soldiers of the shogunate who have calmed down may not be able to use them in battle. But the transport logistics were still very useful, and the shogunate soldiers were very obedient and much easier to manage than the soldiers of the mountain brigade.
"Hey, please rest assured!" Asakusa also reacted, drew the katana in his hand, and aimed at this small flag. He was cut into two pieces with a single knife, and then he opened his throat and shouted: "As a small flag, I am panicked in battle, and I am innocent of death." ”
Ou Zhongliang saw that he could control the situation, and immediately turned around and left. At this time, the staff officer in charge of liaison and assistance in the management of the shogunate soldiers came out of a tent and tied his trouser belt as he walked. Ou Zhongliang went over to give him a kick, kicked him to the ground and said in a low voice: "Sun Chongshan, what is this place?" You can't take care of your crotch yet. The next time there is such a thing, I will enforce battlefield discipline. ”
Sun Chongshan is usually not under the control of Ou Zhongliang, because he understands Japanese, and his task is to coordinate and communicate. It's wartime now, and Ou Zhongliang enforces battlefield discipline, and he will die in vain. With a face of shame, Sun Chongshan got up and stood upright: "Understood!" ”
"Brother, don't go to your heart!" Ou Zhongliang sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nail these dwarfs, don't make internal problems." I'll leave you a class to ...... when necessary. made a gesture of wiping his neck, Sun Chongshan nodded vigorously, the two of them came out of the same place, and the tacit understanding was not bad.
At this time, the machine gun in front of him rang out, and when he heard this movement, Ou Zhongliang remembered something, and immediately asked people to tell the artillerymen, and they were not allowed to fire the artillery without an order. After dealing with the internal affairs, Ou Zhongliang stepped forward, and the deputy company commander and the combat staff officer in charge of the command at the front, one commanded in the position, and the other squatted in front of a machine gun, directing the machine gun to pour fire.
The well-trained soldiers of the mountain brigade were very high, and the moment the mine exploded, the rifle of the secret sentry went off, and then a squad on duty was awakened and went into battle without saying a word. The platoon commanders quickly organized their soldiers, and when they entered the position, the deputy company commander Yao Guangcai found that the rebels had rushed to the far right of 50 meters, and the lead bullets of the smoothbore guns rained down, but unfortunately in the dense fog, they were all the result of random shooting, and the bullets that really flew to the position were pitiful.
Seeing the dense heads of people rushing forward in the thick fog, the machine gun commanded by the company's combat staff officer rang out first. When Ou Zhongliang rushed to the position, the soldiers divided into two groups, one group was throwing grenades as if they didn't want money, and the other group was responsible for using rifles to kill those fish that had slipped through the barbed wire twenty meters away.
No one knows how many rebels came, only that the machine gun kept ringing, and Ou Zhongliang felt lucky that it exploded, and the machine gun did not malfunction. From the time he was awakened to the present, less than twenty minutes had actually passed. If it weren't for the barbed wire and mines, those rebels would have been able to rush into the positions and fight hand-to-hand, right?
Fortunately, Ou Zhongliang found Yao Guangcai: "Old Yao, do you want to transfer the third row?" Yao Guangcai, who was shooting with a rifle, heard the voice, turned his head and said, "No need, the second-line position can't be empty." We should be able to withstand it here, but I'm afraid that there will be a problem with the machine gun, and if the machine gun hadn't gone off in time for a while, it would have been a big trouble. ”
Ou Zhongliang's eyes widened and he took a closer look, he was really scared into a cold sweat, and the nearest corpse had actually rushed seven or eight meters away. Rushing into the position, that is the blink of an eye, these rebels are dressed in black, and they really can't see if they don't pay attention.
The most that could be seen in the dense fog was a vague figure more than twenty meters away, and the rebels did not seem to have the intention of retreating, but were still rushing forward with a strange scream, and it was obvious that their speed was blocked by the barbed wire.
The advantages of a breech-loading rifle were brought into full play at this time, and the rate of fire was more than twice as fast as that of a breech gun. The sound of the platoon guns was very rhythmic, and at first glance, it was an orderly shooting under the command of each platoon commander to ensure uninterrupted fire output.
"I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the second row and keep an eye on it." Ou Zhongliang left without saying a word, and Yao Guangcai was not polite, picked up his rifle and continued to shoot. Catch him on duty tonight, if something really goes wrong, his head will definitely not be saved. Fortunately, mines were arranged, and the fire squad on duty also opened fire in a timely manner, otherwise there would have been a big problem. The most important thing is the machine gun, which swept and built a web of death in front of the front-line position. The rebel soldiers fell down one by one like moths to a fire.
Maori sat confidently on horseback and looked at the Nagasu warriors who were forging ahead in the thick fog. Although the gunfire was as dense as fried beans, he firmly believed that in the face of a sudden attack by absolutely superior forces launched in such weather, it would be difficult for the enemy to resist. At this time, he was most worried about reinforcements from the direction of Tucheng, and it was estimated that in such weather, the enemy would not dare to reinforce. But the development of events soon broke away from his prediction.
The first was the density and continuity of the gunfire, which could not have been achieved by the rifles of the shogunate army, and the uninterrupted machine guns that followed made him even more uneasy. How can there be so many troops on the high ground, just in such a big place, it is enough to deploy 500 troops, the problem is that 500 smoothbore guns can't shoot such a dense gunfire at all, and the continuity is not so exaggerated. This is at least a thousand or more troops to play the effect.
Time was ticking by, anxiety was tormenting Maori, and there was no good news coming back from the front, and the only hope at this time was to sneak around to the back hill last night, waiting for the army that launched a surprise attack after the front was fired.
In the dense gunfire, Gu Beiwang rushed all the way forward, but fortunately, this road is walked once a day, and he is already very familiar. The guide who led the tour was a local, but there was no problem at all. Less than twenty minutes after walking, I heard a clearer gunfire in front of me. Gu Beiwang instinctively shouted: "It's broken, it's going up from behind." Speed up! ”
The soldiers of a company trotted, and the machine gun squad leading the mules and horses was taken care of, and the machine guns were able to be taken out in such a timely manner, thanks to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, who made a wooden shelf with hooks on it, and the disassembled machine guns were divided into six large pieces, and the wooden frame was put on the horseback, and the decomposed parts were directly carried by three horses.
The first shift suddenly stopped, Gu Beiwang bent over and ran quickly, and when he saw the squad leader coming back in front of him, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" "Report to the chief of staff, there are a lot of people, how can there be four or five hundred." As soon as the words fell, the rumbling sound came to mind, and it was a grenade equipped with a mountain brigade, like a grenade with black, fire, and medicine from before.
"It's like the rebels are charging to the death!" The red light flashed on the hillside, and for a brief moment, dozens of rebels could be seen rushing upward. "I can't wait, the machine guns are ready, the three platoons will set me up in battle formation, put on the bayonets, and after the platoon of guns are grenades, rush up and stab the rebels in the ass." Gu Beiwang was anxious, and the foul words came out, losing the gentle and elegant style before. (To be continued......)
