Chapter 644: Night Battle
"MOST OF OUR WEAPONS USE INDIRECT FIRE TO ATTACK, WHETHER IT IS A 37MM RAPID-FIRE GUN, A MORTAR, OR EVEN A MACHINE GUN. The veterans were fed with ammunition, holding the armrests of the machine guns with both hands and moving slowly, and under the instructions of tracer bullets, you could see a long whip of bullets slowly moving to coincide with the Russian attack line. From my position, I could see bullets and shells weaving into a barrage of bullets and pressing down on the enemy. —Ye Ming
The Russians seemed to be completely stunned by this sudden blow. In the panic, they did not know how to dodge, did not continue to advance or retreat, and lay on the spot like a group of frightened beasts, unable to move, officially because of this delay hastened their demise. The projectiles and bullets flew over a distance of several hundred meters in less than 1 second and landed on their heads! With the help of searchlights and flares, bullets and volleys of cannonballs quickly harvest each other's lives! In less than 1 minute, none of the Russians in the first wave could move, they were either killed on the spot, or they were seriously injured by the rain of bullets or shrapnel, crying helplessly and writhing their bodies, and the wails looked so miserable and desperate in the dark night!
The sudden blows and scattered flesh cast a psychological shadow over all Russians. Some of the Russian soldiers in the third wave who were not hit in the first place finally couldn't help it, they dropped the explosive bags in their hands and tried to run back to their positions, but at this moment being too tall by 1 inch means that you are a big step away from death. Not to mention these Russian GIs who were half-straight and ready to run back? Without the need for machine gunners to take care of them, snipers with carefully selected rifles and 2.5x scopes began to shoot leisurely at those who dared to ignore the laws of war.
From the scope, they could clearly see clouds of blood mist coming out of the frantically fleeing figures, and the heavy clothing obviously affected their speed. After a few minutes, there was no living creature more than 1 meter tall on the scope, and they were either killed or continued to lie on the ground praying for God's protection.
"Knock those searchlights off for me, fire all weapons, this is our last chance, this battle must be decided tonight!" Major Galev roared and ordered! This is his last chance, or rather, this is the last chance for the entire Russian sneak attack force. As a colonel-level officer, he knew that the troops who were engaged in this battlefield were not only his own men and the troops besieging the 1135 station. There were other divisions of troops around the battlefield.
The idea of the Supreme Command is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, constantly depleting the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia logistics troops, and attacking this armored train is only the beginning, if you can't even stop this armored train. So what else are you talking about encirclement points to help? The other side will soon be able to blossom in a center with the support of reinforcements! After this battle. Even if the Russian army still has enough troops to infiltrate, it probably doesn't have the fighting spirit to face these steel monsters, right? So in today's battle, Galev must do his best, even at the risk of total annihilation, he must defeat the other side!
THE REMAINING 47MM GUNS AND 60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE, AND THIS TIME THE RUSSIANS LEARNED WISELY, AND THEY BUILT IMPROVISED BUNKERS FOR THE ARTILLERY, FIRST BUILDING A BREASTWORK WALL OUT OF UBIQUITOUS TIMBER, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER EARTHEN WALL OUTSIDE. SOME GUN EMPLACEMENTS ALSO HAVE A LID ADDED, SO THAT UNLESS THEY ARE DIRECTLY HIT BY AN 82MM MORTAR. OTHERWISE, NEITHER A DIRECT HIT OF A 37MM RAPID-FIRE GUN, NOR SHRAPNEL FROM A 60 MORTAR COULD CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO THESE GUN POSITIONS. By order of the commander of the gun, all the guns were replaced with grenades and high-explosive shells, and their target was not the solid body of the train, but the searchlight above!
The searchlight is fragile, and even with a cover it is not completely immune to shrapnel. Soon, three searchlights were destroyed in the dense rain of bullets, and in order to keep the other searchlights, Ye Ming decisively ordered the lights to be turned off. In this way, the lighting on the entire battlefield can only rely on tracer and flares, well, if you count the natural light source, the moon is also one! Without sufficient light, the dark curtain once again covered the battlefield, and the Russian attack was active again!
In the faint light, Ye Ming could see more and more figures rushing out of the woods, and then rushing towards Youlong No. 1 under the cover of machine guns and artillery, the Russians really did not have weapons that could destroy Youlong No. 1 at a long distance, but the Russians have people, after getting closer, ten kilograms of explosives are enough to bring great damage to the train, no matter how high the kung fu is, I am afraid of kitchen knives, and no matter how good the bunker is, the explosives will be knocked down! A large number of Russian soldiers began to rush out of the positions, either pulling their mortars forward or carrying explosives packs to spread out pig spurts. The dense firepower gradually became unable to stop the large number of enemies, and unless you can see the battlefield clearly, it is really difficult to resist the opponent's attack by relying on bullets alone!
Seeing that the armored train that was still spewing tongues of fire just now was gradually suppressed by their own firepower, the Russians' attack became more and more fierce, and it was not possible to see a figure running away, and then some of them were knocked down by bullets, others were hidden, and then found an opportunity to continue the charge. And the Russian artillery bombardment has also entered the peak state, all the artillery has been put into the battle, the 47MM gun is constantly spitting fire, every time a shell is just fired, the Russian soldier wearing thick gloves can't wait to open the chamber, and then a yellow-orange-orange eggshell is ejected, and then a shell weighing 3 pounds is sent in. The cannon rope was then pulled, and another shell flew towards the Youlong.
From time to time, the Youlong was hit, and the shells exploded on the carriage, and then shrapnel flew everywhere, and many shrapnel flew into the narrow firing hole, knocking the officers and men of the Chinese Army who were fighting to the ground. PERHAPS THE RUSSIANS FELT THAT THEY COULD BREAK THROUGH THIS FORTRESS WITH ONLY ONE BREATH, SO GALEV NO LONGER HID IT PRIVATELY, AND 4 82MM MEDIUM MORTARS THAT WERE REGARDED AS TREASURES ALSO JOINED THE BATTLE, AND THE SILENT SHELLING SOUND CAME FROM THE WOODS CONTINUOUSLY, AND A HEAVY SHELL FELL NEAR THE HULL OF THE YOULONG 1, AND EVEN A SHELL DIRECTLY SMASHED ON THE TURRET OF THE 37MM RAPID-FIRE GUN, AND THE HUGE SHOCK DIRECTLY SHATTERED THE GUN MOUNT OF THIS GUN, AND THEN SCATTERED FRAGMENTS WOUNDED THE GUNNER, AND A GUN WAS SO DUMB!
"It's finally here!" Ye Ming stood up and stood in the carriage that was constantly fighting. PICKED UP THE MICROPHONE AND SHOUTED: "THE 120MM HEAVY MORTAR GROUP IS READY TO SHOOT, TARGETING THE ENEMY ARTILLERY POSITION." REPEATED, 120MM HEAVY MORTAR GROUP READY TO FIRE. Target enemy artillery positions. Ye Ming was a little excited when he said this, he waited for a long time, waiting for the opponent's most threatening weapon to expose himself from the beginning of the war! ONLY AFTER DESTROYING THESE 82MM MORTARS CAN THE YOULONG 1 ARMORED TRAIN AND HIM BE TRULY SAFE.
In fact, the armored train is not so invincible, how to say it, the biggest feature of this kind of thing is that even if it bullies the weak NB, it is absolutely soft enough to meet hard bones. IF THE OTHER SIDE CAN HAVE A 75MM38L CANNON. Coupled with armor-piercing shells, you can destroy this expensive armored train in one piece! Unfortunately, the Russian cavalry could not carry the French 1.5 rapid-fire guns weighing more than 75 tons. NOT EVEN A 75MM GUN, EVEN A 57MM GUN CANNOT BE CARRIED. Because they were fighting behind enemy lines, mobility was put in the first place, although it was possible to tow artillery on horses, but on rough roads. Its speed will still be reduced to a point where it can be easily caught up by opposing cavalry. If they were caught up, the Russians, who lacked supplies, would either fight hard or abandon the artillery, so the Russians would at most bring the 82MM mortar as the most powerful offensive weapon, and this became their only long-range weapon that could threaten the Dragon One!
To a certain extent, the 120MM heavy mortar vehicle is designed to completely suppress the opponent's 82MM mortar, which is enough to resist the opponent's attack defensively, and the bullet is heavy. In terms of rate of fire and accuracy, he was better than his opponent, and at this moment, Ye Ming finally decided to take out his most terrifying killer weapon. Break the backbone of the Russians once and for all!
The upper cover of the two well-protected compartments was slowly opened, and the two thick barrels slowly extended out of the firing window at the top of the compartment, and then under the operation of up to 9 gunners, a high-explosive grenade weighing 20+ KG was sent to the gun chamber, and then the gun was locked. According to the command of the artillery commander, the artillery slowly aimed at the Russian artillery position that was constantly spitting out bullets in the distance! "Boom!" A long roar resounded across the battlefield, and the neighing of machine guns and the muffled sound of artillery were overwhelmed by this dull sound at this moment. People raised their heads and looked at the sky, wondering what kind of existence had descended on this battlefield.
In less than 3 seconds, a loud noise came from the artillery position in the rear of the Russian rear, and then a dazzling orange fireball rose from the bunker, and a huge crater appeared on the ground, and just now this is still the position of an 82MM mortar group, a shell will completely eliminate the artillery group that was still showing off half a minute ago, and all this is just the beginning, one after another shells were fired from Youlong No. 1, dense bullet rain fell from the sky, and one after another explosions sounded in the woods, WITH COLUMNS OF SMOKE AND FLYING PIECES OF WOOD AND PARTS, THE FEW PIECES OF ARTILLERY OF THE RUSSIANS WERE FINALLY WIPED OUT, MANY RUSSIAN GUNNERS WERE KILLED BY SHRAPNEL AND FURIOUS FLAMES JUST AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN AROUND AND RUNNING OUT OF 10 METERS AWAY, AND THE RUSSIAN ARTILLERY BAPTIZED BY 120MM HEAVY MORTARS AND 82MM MORTARS BECAME THE UNIT WITH THE HIGHEST DEATH RATE IN THE ENTIRE ARMY, AND THE FINAL RESULT WAS THAT 70% OF THE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS OF THE ARTILLERY UNIT WERE KILLED ON THE BATTLEFIELD!
When the biggest threat was cleared, the searchlight on the Dragon 1 turned on again, and the dazzling pillar of light once again swept across the battlefield! At the same time, countless flares and tracer bullets flew into the sky, and the whole battlefield became bright again, and this time the Russian soldiers exposed to the light were not scattered groups of soldiers as they had been at the beginning. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were struggling to advance, some in a daze, some trying to run 200 meters behind the wall, and others preparing to retreat or find shelter as the beams of light shone in their faces. But all of this was rendered meaningless by the operation of the weapon system of the Dragon One.
At the moment when the light reappeared, Youlong No. 1 erupted with his powerful combat power like a truly angry dragon! Countless machine guns, rapid-fire guns and mortars fired wildly at the exposed crowd, and the dense rain of bullets formed several dazzling rings of fire that spread out in all directions, and all the Russian soldiers who were touched by the ring of fire were directly divided into bodies by several bullets, no matter what posture the Russians faced the enemy, their fate was the same, and the rapid and fierce shooting turned the 500-meter range in front of the Youlong No. 1 into a dead ground! Only the dead and dying are left on the battlefield!
At this time, Major Galev, who had reached the end of his rope, was like a gambler who had lost all his money, throwing the last coin on the table, and when he found that the winner was still not him, the gambler did not choose to leave, but angrily pressed everything on his body. If you want to demand a chance to turn the book in the last place, if you talk about gambling, luck can still help him at the last moment, but on the battlefield, in the face of absolute strength, the so-called luck does not exist at all!
Major Galev picked up a flare gun with his own hand, and a red flare rose into the sky, and the Russian troops, who had made a detour to the other side, also attacked. Flank the remaining Russian forces on the Dragon One! But even so? The Russian troops, who had lost almost all of their long-range fire support, and the Russian troops, who had lost too much blood in several charges, even though they had a new attack surface, but in the face of the ferocious firepower of Youlong No. 1 and the hundreds of Chinese soldiers on it, the Russians' most rearmost attack was like waves lined up on a reef, and the moment the two sides clashed, they were torn to pieces by the ferocious firepower!
Faced with a battlefield that was already covered with blood and corpses, in the face of a rain of bullets that covered the whole field like a torrential rain, no matter how tenacious the warrior was, he could not continue to fight, and when the terror reached a certain level, the prophet who had already surpassed reason, honor and sense of mission, the Russian army began to break out, at first one or two, and then was killed by the Russian officers who were supervising the battle behind, but soon the mass rout completely drowned out several guys with pistols and yelling! AND THE 120MM HEAVY MORTAR ON THE YOULONG 1 ALSO BEGAN TO EXTEND ITS FIREPOWER! Follow the pace of the rout, and shoot a cannonball!
"Lost, completely lost." Looking at the scene of defeat in front of him, Galev leaned weakly against a tree. He knew that he had completely failed, and even said that all the Russian troops who had desperately infiltrated this time had failed, and he couldn't stop the attack of an armored train of the other side with all his might, let alone stop other troops. The rest is already very simple, gather the remnants and quickly withdraw from the area controlled by the Huaxia Army and return to their camp. There are not many Chinese cavalry, and a lot of soldiers and supplies are consumed, so there are a few war horses for a person, and it is not a big problem to run away, right? Galev began to figure out a way out.
Send a big chapter today, everyone support it a lot~~~. (To be continued......)
