On the side of the self-salvation army, after occupying the first line of defense of Wulian City, Du Ruhai's fourth battalion stopped the attack. On the one hand, they re-strengthened the fortifications of the position to prevent the people of Wulian City from counterattacking, and waited for the follow-up troops to follow. On the other hand, it is also cleaning up the occupied areas, taking the surrendered officers and soldiers of Wulian City into custody and treating the wounded.
Finally, take stock of the results. A total of 117 corpses and 83 wounded were left behind by the Self-Salvation Army. 151 people were captured.
Its own casualties were only 4 dead and 8 injured.
Subsequently, the shelling of the self-help forces soon began.
The second line of defense of Wulian City was set up on a U-shaped curve, and their position was actually just behind the long-range artillery of the Self-Salvation Army. But it doesn't mean that the self-help army can't do anything about them.
The mortar battery of the Self-Salvation Army was ready at this time on the first line of defense, and more than 20 shells were fired one after another.
With the angle of mortar projectile, it was possible to easily cross the ridge in front and hit the enemy's position.
"Boom, boom......" Explosions rang out on the second line of defense of Wulian City.
Dense shells rained down in general. And unlike long-range artillery, mortars have a greater parabolic angle, and from time to time shells fall like in a trench.
The people in the second battalion of Wulian City were immediately bombed and cried for their fathers and mothers. The third battalion of Wulian City, which had just withdrawn to the second line of defense and was ready to rest, was even more miserable, in the previous battle with the self-help army, they had been defeated by nearly ninety percent of their troops, and when they returned here, their buttocks were not stable, and they were bombed again, and more than a dozen people were blown up in front of them. The commander of the third battalion couldn't bear it any longer, and lay on the ground and cried.
"What kind of sin is this?"
At the same time, Qiu Kuncan is also making preparations in another aspect.
*********
The artillery bombardment of the second line of defense outside Wulian City by the Self-Salvation Army lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and a total of more than 700 shells were fired. The second line of defense of Wulian City was also plowed over.
Today's self-help army has a lot of money, and more than 500 mortar shells have been fired, and Chen Yuan is not so heartbroken.
But for the people on the defensive positions of Wulian City, these more than 500 shells were a complete nightmare for them.
The tricky angle of the mortar can easily send the shells into the trench of the Wulian City position. The second battalion of Wulian City and the third battalion that escaped back, totaling nearly 500 people, were killed and wounded by the self-rescue army, and no less than 100 people were killed or wounded, and one-fifth of the personnel were reduced.
After receiving the casualty report, the second battalion commander was immediately angry.
He couldn't help but scold, but it wasn't the artillery of the self-help army that he scolded, but he actually scolded Qiu Kuncan: "Grass! I don't understand anything, and I'm so blind to command! The other side's shells obviously couldn't blow up the pillbox, but they let all our men withdraw! It's okay now, the trench is crowded with people, and they are bombed by others. What a grass dog! ”
Indeed, the power of the mortar is much worse than that of the 122 mm caliber heavy artillery, and even if it hits the pillbox of Wulian City, there is no way to completely blow it up. So only one of the 6 pillboxes on the second line of defense of Wulian City was blown up. Everything else is safe and sound.
On the contrary, since the previous anti-artillery trenches were crowded with people, as long as one shell fell into the enemy's trench, it could easily kill several, or even a dozen, people. The commander of the second battalion, of course, was annoyed.
However, it is useless to be annoyed at this time, and as soon as the artillery fire stops, it means that the attack of the self-help army will begin. The commander of the second battalion immediately ordered the troops to enter the position. Although the losses were heavy, he was confident that he would be able to hold on.
Their position was built on the slope of the uphill side of the U-shaped bend, with a cliff underneath the bend, and the only way to get from the opposite side was to go around the road. And the mountain beams on the opposite side blocked the long-range heavy artillery of the Self-Rescue Army. So they kept 5 intact bunkers. Heavy firepower is completely capable of blocking the attacking troops of the Self-Salvation Army on the opposite kilometer.
Still, it seems, he thinks too well.
********
The battle soon began, and Du Ruhai's troops had already advanced to the bend of the U-bend. As soon as the shelling was over, they rushed out of the bend.
"Da Da Da ......"
The heavy machine gun on the opposite side suddenly rang out. However, the expected scene of the fall of the Self-Salvation Army troops did not appear.
Because the self-salvation army is headed by 5 tanks. These were designed specifically against pillboxes on opposite positions.
The situation with the mortars was certainly clear to the self-rescue army, and the artillery guides on the ridges also saw that there were still 5 pillboxes on the enemy's positions that had not been blown up. So Du Ruhai directly transferred 5 tanks from the troops behind. Prepare a bunker for them to take out with one shot.
The bullets from the Wulian City side were completely ineffective against the tank's armor, and the accuracy of the heavy machine gun was not very good in the first place, and the lucky ones that hit the tank were only splashed with some small sparks.
But in their gaze, the muzzle of the tank was slowly moving, aimed at them. This made the soldiers of Wulian City in the bunker suddenly burst into cold hairs.
"Rocket artillery fire!" The second battalion commander shouted. I learned from the commander of the third battalion that the self-salvation army had tanks, and he had already prepared rockets.
However, as before, the snipers of the Self-Rescue Army, who had been ambushed on the opposite mountain beam in advance, saw the rocketeers on the opposite position straighten up and were ready to fire rockets at the tanks of the Self-Rescue Army, so they immediately aimed at them, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Several soldiers of Wulian City who were carrying rockets were suddenly shot through the head by bullets and fell to their backs.
"Sniper! Sniper! ”
The exclamations on the position of Wulian City rang out, and although many people couldn't tell where the bullets of the snipers of the Self-Rescue Army came from, in fear, they also raised their guns in their hands and fired indiscriminately at the opposite mountain beam.
The effect is still there, and several snipers of the self-help army missed when they were interfered with.
"Poof...... ......"So three rockets were successfully launched from the position of Wulian City.
At the same time, five tanks of the Self-Rescue Army have also opened fire one after another. Five shells erupted from the muzzle of the tank, staggering with the oncoming rockets.
"Boom ......"
The rate of shells of the SPF tanks hit the opposite hillside. Of the 5 shells, 3 accurately hit the target, and in the violent explosion, the 3 pillboxes on the Wulian City side were reduced to nothing along with the fighters inside.
"Rockets! Speed up to dodge! ”
On the side of the self-rescue army, observers in several tanks reminded one after another.
"Boom, boom!"
Three rockets exploded in the tank unit, and one tank was unfortunately hit. The rocket hit the lower right side of the tank, and although it did not completely penetrate the tank's armor, the violent explosion still killed and injured two members of the tank, and the tank was scrapped.
