Chapter 213. Rout
The Marines in the front-line defensive bunkers seem to have reached some kind of limit. Although their morale did not decline to the point of collapse, it was not at all comparable to the excitement and excitement of the first day of the war. After all, they are also living human beings, and the continuous high-intensity firefighting also makes them feel physically and mentally exhausted. And now they had no expression, only Mu Ran's eyes widened and searched for any possible anomalies outside, and then pulled the trigger with their fingers, firing the series of deadly bullets, and continued to force back the possible charge of the Soviets.
But their ammunition consumption was almost futile, although occasionally they did sweep the sudden Soviets to the ground, and literally turned into corpses lying on the ground, but in such a tense combat situation, no one could maintain this state for a long time. What's more, their ammunition consumption is also increasing, and as time increases, their anxious attitude also makes them involuntarily use more and more ammunition, which also creates the pressure of logistics supply, especially when the six new boxes of heavy machine gun bullets are transported, but in just ten minutes, nearly two boxes have been consumed.
And that's not even counting the consumption of the M249 light machine gun, and in the second level of the defensive bunker, the firing openings in the immediate vicinity of the hill are narrower, and the four openings can be seen as observation holes rather than shooting holes in a larger sense. But the Marines underneath were modified to set up light machine guns with their bipods extended, aimed at the close range of the hill's perimeter, and fired briefly in this hidden shooting hole, causing much better damage than the heavy machine guns that suppressed the fire.
Every defensive bunker facing the attack of the Soviets is about to tense their nerves to the limit, only every five or six minutes, when there will be artillery support from the defense line of the cave base, it can make them relax for a while, but in the blink of an eye two or three minutes later, the re-emergence of the Soviet elite infantry, and the wave charge that is not afraid of death at all, let them fall into a swamp-like predicament, even if they are full of firepower, and re-push the wave of charge, but they are impressively found, and in the end those Soviet infantrymen are getting closer and closer to themselves!
The dull pounding of the heavy machine guns and the crisp sound of the light machine guns constituted the final firepower of the defensive pillbox, and almost every burst of fire suppression appeared, at least a dozen unlucky Soviet elite infantrymen were torn into blood-red pieces by the terrifying firepower. But even so, the Soviet infantry still advanced to a distance of less than 50 meters from the defensive pillbox, and the AKM assault rifles in their hands were able to accurately send bullets to the inside of the pillbox along the narrow shooting hole, which also increased the casualties of the marines, and they were no longer safe.
Countless gunpowder smoke filled the air, the mountains were filled with gunfire one after another, and the thunderous bombardment of artillery was everywhere. Death has become the main theme of the area, hundreds of Soviets have been reduced to corpses and collapsed on the road to the top of the hillside, they have lost more than half of them, even if they are an elite army, they are about to be unable to withstand the horrors of the battlefield. They are no longer fighting, but naked to the fire of light and heavy machine guns, to die for the orders of their superiors, and their charge and attack no longer see much meaning.
The Soviet commander was as if he were a gambler, and the briefings from the various squads had made him lose his mind, and the infantry regiment of 2,000 men now had less than 800 men left, and the death of more than 1,200 men almost predicted that his troops were about to be wiped out. But he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and his orders were still being given through the radio intercom, even if his soldiers were more killed and wounded, his request was to rush forward, push forward, and take down all the defensive bunkers on the periphery, at least with some results, instead of going back now and accepting the worst outcome of the Suppression Committee.
It's not just the boys of the Marine Corps who have reached a kind of limit, even these Soviets have reached the limit. They have suffered huge casualties that they should not have suffered, and even the squad troops at the bottom no longer obey the orders of their commanders, they just stick to their positions, and even disobey the military order to retreat a distance of dozens of meters, keeping themselves away from the front-line battlefield. With more than half of the casualties, none of the troops could continue to insist on the attack, especially when they had no chance of winning the attack and were only sent to their deaths in vain, they chose to refuse to obey the orders of their superiors.
Unlike the Marines, who were always loyal to Liszt, this group of Soviets each had their own ideals and ambitions, and they chose to follow the orders of their commanders, in a larger sense, because of the much larger Soviet military system behind them. But at present, they are not willing to continue to waste their lives in the midst of heavy casualties, because a group of pure infantry in the mountain battle, attacking fortifications with sufficient ammunition, that is, to die, and so far!
In the midst of the enemy bunkers, the group of young marines were shocked to find that the Soviet soldiers, who were still pushing forward and charging like crazy, and at the same time were carrying rifles and causing them great trouble, had retreated to the rear like a tidal tide in just a few minutes. Although they were puzzled, the firepower in their hands still fiercely swept towards the retreating Soviet soldiers, and the group of Soviet soldiers not only did not continue to attack, but even the retreating appearance became scattered, as if the attack was frustrated and suffered huge casualties.
This was also clearly seen by Liszt at the top of Cave No. 5, his solemn face gradually became a little lighter, and the M2 Browning heavy machine gun that was supporting at the top of the mountain slowly stopped the heavy machine gun fire because the group of Soviets had all retreated to the anticline of the hill. And the Marines, who were still nervous, also exhaled one after another, with joy and relaxation on their faces, as well as a certain excitement to repel the enemy.
"Connect the command room and tell Carl to order the whole army to still prepare for war, quickly replenish military ammunition, and not relax!"
Looking at the Soviet soldiers who finally retreated like a tide, Liszt's eyes had already swept over the surrounding hills and mountainsides, as well as the corpses of Soviet soldiers at the bottom of the hills. But instead of showing a relaxed smile on his face like the others, he turned his head to look at the squad leader, waved his hand and ordered with great seriousness: "Notify all defensive pillboxes and artillery pits, leave people for observation, and do not allow random movement, waiting for follow-up orders!" ”
The team leader immediately nodded in response, walked towards the wired communicator, and quickly contacted the command room in Cave 2. However, Liszt also looked solemn about this, and quickly turned around and walked towards the tunnel of Cave No. 5, taking three steps and making two steps, his pace was also extremely fast, relying on his strong physical fitness to jump in this downward tunnel as if running. And his speed is also very fast, almost three or five minutes has appeared in Cave No. 5, and without looking back towards the tunnel of Cave No. 2, Liszt needs more tasks, although the group of Soviets seems to have been repulsed, but with this tragic battle, he does not think that the Soviets will really retreat permanently.
It was just a light rain before the storm, and he successfully took advantage of the Soviets' contempt, and finally made the Soviets pay the price in blood. But he also understood that for the huge Soviets, even if this infantry regiment was completely wiped out here, it would only be a matter of reassembling troops, and perhaps it would not be enough for even a day, and a brand-new, more advanced and scientific mountain combat regiment would appear in front of him with a more ferocious attitude.
This is the power of the system, and in this kind of war, which is not even a border conflict, it is only a small mistake for the million-strong Soviets. And this mistake will also attract that huge military group, more eyes are also more powerful military power, if Liszt cannot convert the current victory into his next strength, the final result will be to be swallowed up by the armed forces of the Soviets, not even the scum is left.
The arrival of 360,000 points has given Liszt a great sigh of relief, although it has consumed nearly 30,000 points of bullets and shells, but at least for Liszt, he can recruit more marines and exchange more weapons and equipment. In the current cave base, there seems to be a lot of weapons and equipment, but compared to the Soviets' troops, the lack is almost pitiful, not to mention professional anti-aircraft weapons, it is said that there are no anti-expert weapons that can penetrate the T55 tank, and they can only defend against tank guns with pillboxes, which is already a great loss.
And their firepower mainly comes from the M2 Browning heavy machine gun, but the undulating mountainous terrain is not a good solution for the heavy machine gun to solve it all. He needs more Type 92 infantry guns, or the most important mortars in mountain warfare, as fire support weapons, but this is not absolute, Liszt also needs to have his own pair of eyes, which can look through the cover of the defensive bunkers and look at the eyes of the entire battlefield to make his firepower more deadly!
