1504 Summons an air strike
The battalion commander knew that he had fallen for the Japanese army, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to put away his hatred and ordered: "Count the number of remaining ammunition!" ”
When the remaining ammunition was reported to the battalion commander, the battalion commander was panicked, because there was not much ammunition left, taking the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun as an example, the ammunition base was 300 rounds, the three base numbers were 900 rounds, and the nine heavy machine guns had a total of only 2,700 rounds of ammunition, but now there were less than 500 rounds left, which was the most advantageous weapon to deal with the Japanese charge, but now there were not many bullets left.
The battalion commander hurriedly contacted Wang Zhengxian on the radio and said, "Regiment commander, we don't have much ammunition left, do you want to send us some bullets from the second and third battalions?" ”
Wang Zhengxian said: "The second battalion can't be given to you, the second battalion is now also targeted by the Japanese army, the Japanese army has sent a lot of troops to attack the west, and now the second battalion is fighting with the Japanese army, I can send you the spare ammunition of the third battalion." ”
The battalion commander said: "Just have ammunition!" Hurry up and send it over, or we really can't stop it! Wang Zhengxian immediately asked the third battalion to send ammunition to the first battalion, and then told Shen Xin about the lack of ammunition, Shen Xin was also frightened after hearing the news, he knew very well the importance of the beachhead to the battle situation, but now the sea is at low tide, and the reef is exposed, even if it is a hovercraft, he does not dare to go up.
Shen Xin thought of using the artillery on the Xingming-class landing ship to strike, but the distance between the Japanese advance and Lin Yuan's troops was too close, and no one knew where the shells would land after flying a distance of nearly twenty kilometers.
Shen Xinsi had no choice but to contact Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Shuai, the ammunition on the front line is not enough, please hurry up and help us find a way to come out." ”
Lin Yuan said: "I've already figured out a way, let me ask you, can the frogman pass through the current rocky beach?" ”
Shen Xin said: "Of course you can, but Lin Shuai, I want to remind you that frogmen can't bring too many weapons and ammunition, so you can't expect frogmen to give ammunition to the troops." ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course I don't want the frogman to send ammunition to the troops, I want the frogman to send something to the front-line troops!" ”
Shen Xin hurriedly asked, "The things that frogmen can send are very small, how can those small things stop the large army of the Japanese army?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "What I asked the frogman to send is a smoke bomb for the air to strike the target indicated!" ”
Shen Xin said in surprise: "Air strike? Lin Shuai is going to send the air force to help attack? ”
Lin Yuan said: "Of course, now that we have reached the most dangerous time, when will the Air Force be dispatched if we do not dispatch at this time?" The only problem with the dispatch of the air force now is that it cannot indicate the target, and the air force does not know where to bomb the road, and with the smoke bombs, everything will be solved. ”
Shen Xin said: "Okay, I'll send the frogman troops to send them the smoke bombs." After Shen Xin finished speaking, he asked the frogman troops to dispatch, carrying smoke bombs, and marching towards the beach. If the frogman used swimming to advance, it would take two and a half hours to swim a distance of ten kilometers, and the Japanese army must have knocked down the position of Lin Yuan's troops in such a long time, so the frogman used high-speed underwater thrusters, and it only took half an hour to swim a distance of ten kilometers.
At the same time as the frogman dispatched, Lin Yuan also ordered Xu Feng to lead the fighter into the air, Xu Feng also knew that the new fighter was about to leave the factory, so he did not cherish the flight hours of the fighter very much, and this time he directly dispatched sixteen fighters to form a mighty air formation and fly towards the rocky beach.
At this time, the Rocky Beach had completely launched a fierce battle, and the Japanese Eighth Division sent a wing of 3,000 men to support Akutagawa and Mimi, and the number of Japanese troops instantly reached 6,000, and they even transferred tanks to cover the infantry attack.
In terms of fire support, the Japanese army also made a bloody investment, the 105 mm howitzer of the artillery wing directly under the division and regiment joined the war group, in the previous war, the Japanese artillery was completely suppressed by the artillery of Lin Yuan's troops, and there was no respite at all, this time Lin Yuan's troops did not have long-range artillery, and the Japanese artillery finally seized the opportunity to show its face.
The Japanese artillery opened fire together, and the shells exploded on the position of Lin Yuan's troops, so that the soldiers of Lin Yuan's troops lay down in the trenches, not even daring to raise their heads, and scolded one after another: "We even had times when we were pressed in the trenches by the enemy's artillery, and we used to suppress others." ”
As soon as the Japanese artillery fire stopped, the Japanese infantry rushed to the position like a tide of tanks, and the tanks of Lin Yuan's troops used firepower and range to snipe the Japanese tanks, and the Japanese tanks were hit and turned into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, but the Japanese army also discovered Lin Yuan's tank position, and the shells immediately covered the positions of the tank troops.
The Japanese artillery blew up almost every inch of land, two tanks were directly hit by shells on the top, the commander and the gun commander were killed on the spot, the turret was also blown out of shape and lost its combat effectiveness, and the other tanks immediately withdrew from the battle when they saw this, and three tanks were blown off their tracks, unable to move, and were blown up by later shells.
The tanks of Lin Yuan's troops could only withdraw from the battle, and as soon as they withdrew, the battle of the infantry instantly became extremely difficult, because the bullets could not penetrate the Japanese tanks at all, and when the situation was precarious, a soldier said to the battalion commander: "Report to the battalion commander, reinforcements have arrived!" ”
When the battalion commander heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Where are the reinforcements?" How many people are there? When he looked up, he saw ten people wearing frogman diving suits coming to him, and the frogman led by him said lightly: "We are the reinforcements." ”
The battalion commander asked in surprise: "Only ten people?" ”
The frogman laughed, "Ten people are enough." ”
The battalion commander said helplessly: "What's the use of just ten of you!" ”
The frogman took out a smoke bomb from the backpack he was carrying and said, "This is a smoke bomb to summon air support, where you hit it, Lin Shuai's plane will attack it?" ”
The battalion commander asked, "Is this true?" ”
The frogman said: "Of course it's true, will Lin Shuai's words be false?" ”
The battalion commander pointed to the woods where the Japanese troops were hiding and said, "Let's bombard the woods over there first, from where the Japanese army attacked." ”
The frogman said, "Call the mortar detachment and hit it with mortar shells." The battalion commander then called in the artillery and loaded the smoke bombs into the mortar, which was actually modified from mortar shells, and the tail and other parts were the same, except that the warhead of the smoke bomb was not filled with explosives, but with smoke charge.
The shells fell in the woods where the Japanese were hiding, and then released bright purple smoke, which was particularly dazzling in the night sky, and Xu Feng immediately ordered when he saw it: "Machine No. 1, machine No. 2, use cloud burst shells, attack!" ”
The two fighters immediately flew over, turned on the bomb delivery assistance system, the pilot locked the smoke point into the landing point, and then pressed the launch button, and the four cloud burst bombs immediately flew towards the hiding place of the Japanese army, and the fire of the instant explosion reflected the night sky, and a squadron of nearly 200 Japanese soldiers was killed in this explosion!
