Chapter 182: Battlefield Frontier
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty Second Lieutenant Reed, wake up." Sylvester Stallone, the beard numberer, violently shook the sleeping Hu Bin awake, but then was pointed to the head with a pistol.
"The vigilance is good, but don't make trouble, the communication from the headquarters, our official here is your biggest." Seeing Hu Bin put down the pistol apologetically after waking up, a gleam flashed in Stallone's eyes, and the bulging muscles behind his back relaxed.
"Damn, I won't even get a good night's sleep." Hu Bin patted his face, which was still a little swollen, and took the microphone from the signal corpsman's hand with a scolding scolding.
"Yes, sir, I understand, sir." Hu Bin ended the call like a sound worm, while Stallone approached with a curious expression. "What arrangements does the headquarters have for the defeat of our group of remnants, say in advance, if you still let us attack, let that order go to hell."
"Two pieces of good news, one of them is that I have been promoted, and I will be called Lieutenant Commander in the future, and I will also serve as the acting battalion commander of your half-crippled battalion." Hu Bin looked at Stallone with a smile on his face, as if waiting for him to call himself sir.
"Damn, this is obviously bad news, is it good, with a chief like you who likes to send death, won't I have a more sad life in the future." Stallone said indignantly, he worked hard to be promoted from private to corporal, and became a glorious German armed motorcycle driver, but he didn't expect Hu Bin to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant as soon as he arrived in his own unit, and he also obtained the command of the unit.
"The other good news is that we're going to have an integrated armored division coming to the aid of here, and we're only going to have to hold out for six hours." Hu Bin clenched his fists excitedly and shook them.
"Great, I wanted to fight back for a long time, those bastards actually dared to make holes in my baby, this field must be found." This was indeed good news, and the headquarters finally remembered that there were still two remnants of the army here, and did not forget to tell them.
Hu Bin glanced at Stallone's shiny two-person military motorcycle, smiled and nodded.
After mastering the interim command of this semi-mechanized battalion. Only then did Hu Bin know how bad the situation of the entire battalion was. Originally, the battalion had about 400 troops, 8 armored vehicles, 19 armed motorcycles, and many trucks to transport troops. But after the flanking battle, there were only more than 100 people left in the whole battalion, and all the vehicles were only one half-crippled armored car, two motorcycles and two trucks, and the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander were also sent into the sky with a rocket, and the losses were even heavier than Hu Bin's company.
"Can you imagine that the group of people we are hunting in space have anti-tank rockets in their hands, and there are quite a few of them. Even the armored car was as brittle as paper in front of that thing. Most of the soldiers didn't even have time to get out of the truck when a rocket blew them up. Stallone roared indignantly as he described the battle.
The good news is that this battalion-sized unit was not routed as the headquarters expected, but retreated here on its own initiative after driving away the enemy forces in ambush. The machine guns and other heavy firepower on the damaged vehicles were dismantled and brought to the trucks for preservation, and the weapons and ammunition were also very sufficient, but due to the destruction of the supply vehicles loaded with fuel, several vehicles were basically unable to move.
Hu Bin was thinking about a few barrels of fuel on the truck in his company, although it was not a lot, but it was enough to make the armored car move. But with a small half-city between the two armies, the Allied forces in the city would not sit idly by and watch them converge.
Hu Bin informed Stallone of the news, and Stallone patted his baby motorcycle and said, "Leave it to me." I still have enough fuel in my motorcycle, so I can let that truck come when the time comes, and there's a road on the outskirts of the city that leads to here, and we can come from the periphery. ”
Byrne, who was surprised to learn that he had survived, was contacted over the radio and explained the situation. Hu Bin watched Stallone's motorcycle gradually move away. What he didn't tell Stallone was that he was a bit loud last night, and the enemy wouldn't sit back and wait for reinforcements here.
Sure enough, as the sky brightened. The Allies in the city turned their attention from the company to the east to the southwest where Hu Bin was located, and last night they had again been supported by paratrooper transport planes, which not only replenished the loss of personnel. A batch of airborne supplies of weapons and ammunition was also obtained. With the heavy fire support of machine guns, the pressure on the German lines of defense would increase significantly.
However, the unit that Hu Bin is now commanding is not the previous recruit company that lacked food and ammunition, and the elite soldiers of the semi-mechanized battalion armed with heavy machine guns and submachine guns, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of a rookie who has been in the army for less than a year. Under the condition of occupying favorable defensive terrain, Hu Bin was fully confident that he would fight a battle with those American soldiers.
The semi-mechanized battalion chose a defensive terrain that was quite suitable for their advantage, the location of the defensive line was on a farm on the outskirts of the city, the granary was suitable for concealed combat vehicles, and the soft ground was also suitable for trenching, which was very suitable for positional warfare. But Hu Bin is quite dissatisfied with such terrain, for snipers, there is no commanding height, and the open terrain is easy to expose his position. But this time, Hu Bin made up his mind not to fight on the front line, but to sit in the rear to command, because the news brought by the space prompt made him feel that the threat was imminent.
The Allied offensive came a little later than Hu Bin expected, but the scale was much more than Hu Bin expected. However, the commander of the Allied forces did not have the slightest cautious intention before, and directly put almost all his troops into this battle, and these were not enough to make Hu Bin feel threatened, and the spatial designation of more than 20 Allied soldiers was the reason for Hu Bin's concern.
After killing three such targets in succession, Hu Bin also had some of their information, these guys claimed that the forces behind them were the main gods, if Hu Bin didn't know that the space was cooperating with the gods, he would even wonder if these people were believers in any god. Since Hu Bin gave the previous watch to Space, Space has also unlocked certain information for Hu Bin, letting him know that the targets of these Space Indicator Numberers are a group of guys known as Contractors.
The source and type of strength of the contractor is still a secret, but what Hu Bin knows is that they are not inferior to the numbered person in terms of physical attributes, but they are very fragile in terms of physical strength, and twisting their necks will only cause the numbered person to fall into the injury of paraplegia, but it can directly kill the contractor. But as an enemy who is very sensitive to space, Hu Bin is absolutely sure that these contractors have a fairly strong level of strength, but it seems that the strength of the few he encounters is not very good. It cannot be used as a standard.
The menacing enemy was well prepared, they were actually equipped with mortars and launched artillery fire on the German positions. The sand stirred up by the explosion of the shell raised Hu Bin's neck, and he finally tasted the taste of being shelled, such a passive situation of being beaten was really infuriating, but in fact, the enemy's shelling did not bring much casualties to the German army.
However, this was only a temporary situation, a machine gun position on the front line was blown up by shells, a nearby ammunition box caused a detonation, and the three-person fire team was instantly smashed into a colander by flying bullets, and the medic looked at it from a distance, and he didn't even think about the past.
By the suppression of artillery fire. The Allies launched a powerful offensive, and a large number of Allied soldiers charged the position. The German machine gunners immediately pulled the trigger and rained a barrage of bullets at the enemy in front of them. The dense network of fire was always a nightmare for the infantry, and after leaving behind a litter of corpses, the first Allied offensive quickly failed.
Seeing that the enemy had withdrawn from the range of the machine guns, Hu Bin decisively ordered the others to stop firing, and the victory at the first stop boosted the morale of the German army a lot, but Hu Bin did not expect what the consequences of such a victory would be.
Mortar fire intensified, which was the point that the Germans felt most deeply after repelling the first wave of Allied attacks. The shelling continued for almost an hour. Soldiers are constantly being wounded by shrapnel. Even hiding in deep trenches still had the potential to be hit, and the medics were sweating profusely and scrambling to treat the wounded who had been shot.
Hu Bin gritted his teeth and silently endured the wails of the wounded soldiers, the Allies would never have so many shells. With those few air supports alone, they don't even have enough ammunition for their machine guns. Obviously, the contractor on the other side made a move. Hu Bin didn't know how long the artillery fire would last, and he didn't know the price the contractors would pay for the ammunition. But it's definitely not going to be less. Although the contractors made a posture of smashing the enemy to death with artillery fire, Hu Bin knew that they would not be able to support it for long.
Sure enough, the mortar fire continued for another half an hour before finally stopping. The Allies again organized a powerful offensive. However, the state of the German army at this time was very weak, and several previously exposed firepower points were taken care of by mortars, and now they have become a crater, if it were not for Hu Bin's quick reaction and quick order to transfer several other firepower points in the front row, the forward positions may really be overwhelmed by this wave of attacks.
However, due to Hu Bin's timely order, the front firing points were all wiped out by shelling, and the sparse machine gun bullet chain still caused considerable obstacles to the Allied offensive.
However, the attack of the Allies was determined to complete the battle, taking advantage of the containment of others, the Allied machine guns were also set up, and the Germans launched fierce fire. If the battle continues like this, it will be the Germans who have the last laugh, but just like the numberers, there will still be variables where the contractors exist.
A rocket that came out of nowhere blew up the most ferocious machine gun position of the German army, and a contractor dressed as an American paratrooper actually touched the front of the position at some point, and turned out a new anti-tank rocket in his hand again, but then was taken care of by the German soldiers, and he couldn't raise his head and never had a chance to sneak attack the German position. But the actions of this contractor were only the beginning, and grenades and rockets continued to fall into the German positions, setting off wave after wave of explosions, and the Germans were killed by such attacks, but they were unable to suppress multiple contractors at the same time.
Hu Bin had tried to find an opportunity to snipe these contractors more than once, but these guys obviously knew the power of snipers and hid their vital points well. The uniforms on their bodies were obviously much better than the inferior ones that Space had given to the numbered ones, at least they had a good interception of machine gun bullets and rifle bullets, and they couldn't hurt these guys with small-caliber small arms if they didn't hit the vital point. After Hu Bin clearly saw that the bullet he shot at the body of a contractor was offset by a layer of light film, he never casually revealed his position, and his dangerous assessment of these contractors rose another notch in his heart.
The second attack of the Allies finally failed to take the German position, and the tenacity of the German soldiers was beyond everyone's expectations, and when the machine gun fire points were almost all pulled out by the contractors, they repelled the Allies with submachine guns and rifles, if the contractors had not seen the situation and slipped away quickly, perhaps the end would not have been much better than the corpses of those Allied soldiers. But there was still an unlucky contractor who fell on this battlefield, he had tried to use the speed advantage to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, but he left his back to Hu Bin, who was waiting for a while, and a bullet pierced the back of his unprotected neck, and the impact blew off half of the contractor's neck.
Taking advantage of the short retreat of the allies, Hu Bin counted the remaining forces of his side, and the results were shocking, the entire battalion was left with less than thirty people, which was still counting the number of medical soldiers, and there was not a single heavy fire machine gun left, all of which were destroyed in the previous attack of the contractor.
The smoke of gunpowder filled the dilapidated position, the corpses of his comrades were scattered weakly in the trenches, and many of them were still in a shooting position, and Stallone, who had arrived here on a motorcycle, saw such a scene when he returned, and it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of fierce battle had taken place here in his absence.
The company's truck full of fuel was brought in to refuel the only remaining armored vehicle, along with the five crew members and seven recruit company soldiers, who had heard that there were enough ammunition here, and brought a few extra machine guns with them to rearm the position, which had lost all heavy firepower.
The Allies had exhausted all their strength in the previous attack, and although they had an absolute numerical advantage, they did not reorganize the third round of attacks from the new one, but retreated to the city for repairs. This greatly relieved the worried Hu Bin, if the Allies organized another attack, he might have to abandon his troops and run alone. The armored car with full fuel is used as a hole card, that is, it can explode with a rocket, but because of its good speed, it was selected by Hu Bin as his temporary command post, and there is a certain guarantee for both running and transferring.
I thought that I could rely on the remaining men to hold the position and wait for reinforcements, but what I didn't expect was that the command of Wan Evil sent an order again, asking Hu Bin to lead the team to open a gap on the periphery of the city to ensure that the armored division entered the city smoothly. Hu Bin, who had been complaining about the orders of the headquarters, finally broke out after this order was given, and he unceremoniously cursed the person who set the task in the microphone, but in the end he carried it out, ordering the remaining soldiers to follow behind the armored car and slowly approach the city.
