Chapter 275: Artillery Battle in the Night

Here in Hulin, Xingyuan's fortress blocking battle lasted for more than four hours, and every time the Russian army bombarded it, the personnel had to get close to the pillbox, causing varying degrees of damage to the advance soldiers in the pillbox, until nightfall, the Russian army built a defensive line on the river bank, and the retreating troops stopped the attack.

After more than four hours and seven or eight attacks, although the enemy was getting closer and closer, the total loss had exceeded 10,000, and more than 4,000 soldiers had to be sacrificed, which can be described as the hardest battle fought by the advance army in history. Although tens of thousands of enemies have been killed, this kind of attrition is quite huge for the current advance army.

Dong Ku was anxious in Harbin, but the Japanese did not move, and he did not dare to leave, otherwise, Shunzi alone would not be able to solve the defense of Shuangcheng and Harbin. Liu Zhong has just returned, and he has not yet experienced the big war, and he lacks experience, especially air defense, he does not personally sit in charge, and under the premise that he has not experienced air raids, there is really no one who can command those air defense artillery, mobilize and fill the gaps, and concentrate on intercepting bombers.

Dong Ku had to at least demonstrate to Liu Zhong the command process of dispatching and predicting the plane's bombing target, otherwise, it would be difficult for Liu Zhong, who was in a hurry, to ensure the safety of Harbin and the industrial park, especially the industrial park, which could not withstand a bomb attack, and even if the attack plane strafed, it would cause big trouble. After all, there are still wooden cage houses, and there is no protection of concrete buildings.

Moreover, he carefully analyzed the way of the Soviet Russian offensive in Harbin over and over again, but he was at a loss and could not find a solution. For the time being, the only solution is to assault on all fronts, drive Soviet Russia back to the opposite side of the riverbank, and implement fire coverage.

But in this way, for the Soviet Russian army, they are worried that they will not find the opportunity to fight head-on. Once the attack is made, even if the offensive here is swift and the fire of the grenades and AKs is fierce enough, it is inevitable that there will be a stalemate, and once it is stuck, it will be difficult to safely withdraw to the fortress.

Again. He really didn't have the absolute advantage of gaining an absolute advantage in the crowd of enemies. He can't afford to lose, he can't take risks, so holding on is the only way to do it for now. It's just that the losses are too great.

"!"

Liu Zhong slammed his fist on the table and said: "Captain, Lao Maozi is determined to enter Heilongjiang, and when he recovers, let's hit his nest!" ”

Dong Ku didn't have this mind, and Liu Chengcheng was even more the same. Anger is already uncontained. This distant hatred and near hatred can no longer be erased, and the advance army is bound to give Lao Maozi a severe blow.

But that's for the future, if you can't resist Lao Maozi's continuous attacks, then the defense of the tiger head will always be precarious, and there is a danger of being attacked at any time.

The tiger head is different from Fuyuan Tongjiang, and the position there is even if it is given up. It can be recaptured at any time, so that the advance army, which is good at annihilating the enemy in motion, has a chance to annihilate the incoming enemy. But here, once occupied by the Russians, it will be difficult to recapture it, although Dong Ku has a large number of various poison gas bombs in his hands that have captured the bungalow, but it may not be easy to poison again.

Liu Yucheng squinted his eyes and pondered for a while. He said in a deep voice: "At present, the Russian army occupies the convenience of smoke cover in the offensive, which helps them to get close to the pillbox and drop bombs, so." I think there are two steps to solve this problem: first, put the barbed wire in front of the pillbox to block the enemy's approach within 50 meters, and second, cut off their supply and anti-personnel attack troops on the river, and shell their 'Darenevchensk' and 'Izbesk', so that they can increase their losses during the move, so that the pressure will be reduced, and they will first hold off their attrition attack, and then make a plan after carefully studying the plan. ”

Dong Ku listened carefully, and he believed that Liu's method was the only way to solve the problem at present, although it had not been completely solved, but it could be alleviated, especially the bombardment of 'Dalenevchensk', which could effectively kill the enemy and disrupt the rhythm of their attack.

So, the three of them carefully deliberated, and then the telegram was transmitted to Xing Yuan.

Xing Yuan was also thinking hard about good strategies, and among the various methods, there was no effective means, and the entire command headquarters was dull. After receiving the telegram, Xing Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he ordered Pan Mazi to organize artillery, let the reconnaissance battalion command the artillery targets, take out all the barbed wire rolls in the fortress, and spread them all within 50 meters in front of the pillbox.

Soon, the people in the bunkers poured out one after another, and outposts were sent to monitor the enemy's movements two hundred meters away from the enemy's riverbank position, clean the battlefield, and lay barbed wire.

In the dark night, the crowd of people was quietly busy, and then the afterglow of the flares that rose from time to time in the distance picked up the intact cartridge belts that were frozen on the ground, and removed the ammunition from the corpses of the Soviet Russian soldiers, and the corpses were piled up four hundred meters away, ready to be lit after laying the barbed wire.

They are busy here, and the Soviet side is not idle either.

After several hours of shelling, there were not many shells left in the tank, and the cold weather did not dare to turn off the tank, so refueling and transporting shells became their theme.

In the dark of night, the shells were sent to the tank one by one, and all of them were loaded into the tank, and the shells were filled to the maximum extent, anyway, it was a battery, and even the machine gunner's position was full of shells.

After filling up the tank, the fuel was not stored there to avoid being hit by enemy artillery fire and igniting the fire. After a fierce attack, the infantry at this time all got into sleeping bags, and fell asleep by the fire on the embankment. They are just as tired and need to rest.

At this time, in the night, several squads quietly lurked into the territory of Soviet Russia, circled around the big circle, quickly approached 'Dalenevchensk', in the dark night, looking for a faint firelight, or a human figure, waiting for the fortress to fire the first shot, giving a reference to the fixed coordinates.

At six o'clock, the appointed time came. At this time, most of the barbed wire in front of the pillbox had been laid, and in more than an hour, the barbed wire in the fortress was gone.

As soon as the time reached six o'clock, Xing Yuan grabbed the phone and shouted: "Launch the coordinate point, other artillery ready!" ”

Pan Mazi then gave the order to bombard.

Rumble! With a bang, a 105-caliber cannon shell flew out of the fortress, over the hill and towards 'Darenevchensk'.

"Shelling!!"

"Hurry up!!"

The Russian soldiers on the embankment were awakened by the sound of whimpering shells, and they got out of their sleeping bags and left their resting positions. Crawled behind the bunker on the bank of the river and prepared for the enemy's attack. At the same time, one after another flares rose into the air, reflecting each other and falling into the distance.

On the river, an ant-like supply army sped up its march. To and from the river, it is expected that the supply will end early.

The cannonball, which crashed to the ground after a few seconds. The violent explosion made the Russian troops in 'Dalenevchensk' panic, and they ran out of the camp one after another, looking at the fire in the distance.

The fire was clearly extinguished, and the location where it fell was still in the ruins of 'Dalenevchensk', which did not cause any damage to any Russian troops.

'Berenevsky' came out of the command in the jungle in the distance, looked in the direction of the ruins two or three kilometers away, and ordered: "Extinguish all fires." Don't give the enemy's artillery a chance, let them bomb it, increase the patrol density, don't let the enemy infiltrate. ”

At this time, his order was absolutely correct, but unfortunately, it was only a little late.

With the advent of the fixed coordinate impact point, in the snow nest. Flashlights covered in red cloth emitted a faint glow, illuminating the scouts who were calculating the coordinates on the map. Shaoqing. One by one, clear calls appeared.

"What is this? What Kitty Sparrow's? ”

Soon, 'Berenevsky' received the content of the intercepted plain code call translation, he looked at the numbers and unknown content in confusion, and after a short period of distraction, he suddenly startled and shouted: "Command transfer!" Search around. There is enemy infiltration!! ”

With his roar, the command panicked, and the Guards battalion quickly dispersed, searching everything around it, and the confidential officers gathered up the papers. Pack up your belongings, notify the ministries, and nervously start evacuating.

'Berenevsky' was the first to take the general with the name of the book, and under the escort of a company, moved to a mountain col, while the troops of a regiment rushed to the reserve command post there with a net first.

Just as they were leaving, a whimpering whistle flew over the heads of the Russian troops on the river embankment and flew towards 'Darenevchensk' in the dark.

"Let's shell 'Lenevchensk'!"

At this time, all the Russian troops on the river embankment looked up at the night sky, and they all understood that the artillery attack was a rear position, and they were all relieved.

But at the same time as they breathed a sigh of relief, a roar came to Ali again, this time, it was the sound of large-caliber heavy artillery, and the sound rumbled, like a train passing in the sky.

"Jiangmian!!"

This time, they also heard the scream of the cannonballs as they fell rapidly, and they all turned their eyes to the river.

At this time, the supply army on the river was in a panic, desperately driving the horses, trying to leave the unobstructed river.

It's a pity, not to mention that the river is one or two kilometers wide, and the big craters dotted on it also limit their travel speed.

A loud bang exploded in the panicked crowd, and in the light of the fire, one by one the fire balls were thrown into the air, and then they landed in a sea of fire.

Apparently, the shell hit the oil drum.

The dense explosion caused the supply army to abandon their horses and jump into the craters to take refuge. The river surface has also become a pot of porridge because of this.

The shrapnel raged, and the shock wave swept across, making the river surface that was still crowded just now like hell on earth, and one figure after another was blown away, and then it was torn apart by a single piece, and a figure was directly turned into ashes in the air wave and became a molecule.

At the moment when the shells on the river fell, the shells flying towards 'Lenevchensk' also fell to the ground, and in the dodging of the frightened Russian army, they cleared an open space with a diameter of 100 meters at one time, destroying everything within the explosion range and tearing apart all the feared lives.

The effectiveness of the ten guns devastated the point of impact, and then the muzzle of the guns turned to another target.

The heavy artillery fire caused the Russian troops stationed around 'Lenevchensk' to suffer a devastating blow, and in the light of the explosion, the Russian soldiers fled everywhere like flies, in the dark, lost contact with their superiors, lost their direction, and the only thing they could do was to flee, escape from this hellish existence.

Patches of trees were swept away by the huge destructive force of the force, and one by one the open spaces appeared in the positions where the soldiers were originally stationed, and in the firelight everywhere, the figures all over the mountains and fields, and the panicked people who even lost their weapons were there.

Camp after camp was wiped out in the furious shock wave, and supply points that the Russian army thought were hidden were blown up everywhere.

The call continued, and even a squad had already caught fire with the panicked Russian army.

The small-scale gunfire made the Soviet and Russian troops even more panicked, and they all thought that the enemy was attacking the camp on a large scale, and they rushed to the location of the gunfire.

"Shoot out the bullets! Blow up the guns!! Our mission is accomplished!! ”

One of the team leaders shouted loudly with the AK in his hand roaring.

"! Enough is enough!! ”

"I can still make five hundred oceans for my mother, it's worth it!!"

The team members shouted as they strapped grenades to their guns.

The shelling did not stop because these squads had already fallen into the Russian army, and these reconnaissance squads had crossed the line of defense with the mentality that it would be difficult to return. Many squads saw that it was difficult to escape, and the bombardment target that they called out in the last place was actually their own location, and when they were dying, they had to pull thousands of Russian troops as backs.

In the chaos, countless squads successfully passed by the chaotic Russian army and escaped from the assembly area of the army.

With the reduction of the clear code call, the pockmarks on Pan Mazi's face flashed with crystal light, roared, and ordered their respective artillery groups to set the coordinates freely and shoot effectively.

This time, with 'Darenevchensk' as the center, pieces of fire rose in the night sky, shells fell, no matter how many people, no matter where they were hiding, all were torn apart by the raging shock wave, driving the Russian army to the low-lying area, to the edge of the shelling.

At this time, the blood on the river surface had stained the ice red, and there were fires everywhere, corpses everywhere, and scattered materials everywhere.

The Russian troops on the embankment looked at the tragic situation on the river in the distance, and the fear spread rapidly. But at the same time, they were glad that they were in a position where the shells could not fall on the slope, that is, they were safe.

The 'Berenevsky' had already re-established its headquarters in the midst of a loud noise, but unfortunately, the telephone could not be contacted by the other troops, and communication could only be carried out by shouting.

There were not many troops that could be contacted, and these few units were not shelled.

But they still didn't dare to be careless, and quickly set up defenses around the camp to prevent the enemy from approaching in the dark night.

But in this way, it was inevitable that there would be misunderstandings with the scattered troops, and they often fought fiercely for several minutes, only to find that the shouts in front were all Russian, and it was the fraternal troops who were fighting.

It was discovered, a ceasefire was served, but the casualties were irreparable, and in frustration, they could only lick their wounds in anger and transfer their anger to the other side.

The shelling ended after an hour.

At this time, the Soviet Russian army was already in chaos, not to mention the casualties, the losses were also huge, and the most important thing was not to dare to make fire, for fear of attracting artillery again.

Their artillery also counterattacked from the 'Izbesk' position under a violent roar, but unfortunately, it did not block even a minute of artillery bombardment, and it was obvious that this position was useless except against the riverbank.

In a panic, after the shelling ended, the generals at all levels slowly stopped shouting.

The troops, gathering in the dark, are looking for their own team. For the wounded, as long as there is a call for help, someone will come forward to treat them. Unfortunately, they couldn't make a fire, and even if they wrapped a few layers of blankets, they couldn't avoid frostbite from their wounds. After all, the temperature at this time is still around 30 degrees, especially in the second half of the night, it will reach a low temperature of about 35 degrees.

"Send the wounded to 'Izbesk' overnight, and the troops temporarily retreat five kilometers and set up camp!"

'Berenevsky' gave the order, but he knew that this night would be the most difficult for the troops. The cold will be an irresistible enemy, no less threatening than the enemy's fierce artillery fire.

At the same time as he gave the order, he was also secretly glad that the enemy did not take the opportunity to charge, otherwise, they would have paid a greater price.

Where did he know that Dong Ku didn't think about taking the opportunity to raid, but he didn't want to lose more soldiers' lives, so he gave up the idea of defeating them. Fighting, although it will become the dominant force of the advance army, but there are too many of them, and the battlefield that stretches for several kilometers, who can guarantee that the battle situation can be controlled?

At this time, it was more than seven o'clock in the evening, and shortly after his order was issued, the Soviet Russian troops began to assemble and retreat, and the siege and annihilation battle in Fujin also began. (To be continued......)
