ACT145: Leap to the top
On Rezenov's orders, 11 T-26s threw all the heavy smoke grenades they were carrying. These smoke bombs, large enough to kill people, spewed a large amount of smoke in a sharp buzz as soon as they landed. The large body allows for a small fan to spread more quickly.
It only took more than a dozen seconds for a distance of more than 700 meters in front of the position to be covered by thick smoke, and even with searchlights, the Nationalist Army could not see clearly what was going on inside the smoke, and the machine gunners could only strafe indiscriminately by feeling. And the anti-armor gun, which was half a beat slower to react, could only stare at the smoke because the shells were more expensive.
Under the influence of the smoke, the effect of the machine gun suppression of the Nationalist army was greatly reduced, and the Republican soldiers, who had been prepared, covered their faces with wet towels, then loaded their rifles with bayonets, and under the cover of rear support artillery fire, they rushed towards the enemy line at full speed with random armor.
At a distance of more than 300 meters, it didn't take a minute for the mechs and infantry to rush to the front of the enemy line. The T-26s at the head used their feet to break through the barbed wire fence on the ground, and the BT-5 in the back jumped forward, wreaking havoc on enemy positions with speed and agility, and the soldiers on both sides soon mixed together and engaged in a fierce white-knuckle battle in the front-line trenches.
"The first wave rushed up? Am I underestimating these Spaniards? ”
On the high ground on the side of the Republican Army, Dragovich was surprised to find that the first wave of stormtroopers had hit! At this time, the second wave has also started, according to this momentum, at most 2~3 more waves, they can take Bunona, which is much easier than Dragovic expected.
"Amazing Spaniards."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a mocking sneer, and Dragovich suddenly became more confident, if even the elite of the rebels were so virtuous. Then he really has a chance of getting this war done before Christmas. In Dragovich's eyes, it seemed that he had vaguely seen Stalin's satisfied smile!
"The follow-up troops don't need to engage in any waves of attacks, all of them are there, give it to me!"
Feeling that victory was in hand, Dragovich immediately ordered the following regiments to charge en masse, and more than 7,000 soldiers rushed out of the trenches under the leadership of the officer. But not long after they ran into the open field, several flares suddenly lit up above their heads, and several shells landed in their dense stormtrooper formation.
Before the battle began, the IRA did not believe that the enemy would be placing a firing point on Lone Peak. After all, although it is high enough, the overall area is too small, once discovered. Armed airboats only need to lean up and get a few guns to plow them aside. So the officers on the Republican side generally believed that as long as the commander of the other side was not stupid, they would definitely not send troops there, and now they are all dumbfounded.
More than a month ago, this brigade of the Nationalist Army used a spaceship to transport an engineering company to the top of Gufeng Mountain. Build fortifications on it. This engineering company excavated the mountain from top to bottom, digging out four caves. and to build a shooting hole on the side facing the town. Subsequently, four 75mm mountain guns were stationed in these caves.
Long before the start of the battle. The rebel commanders had already known their offensive plans and the size of their forces through the guò "inner line". So after the battle began, the rebels deliberately showed weakness to the enemy and let Rezenov's first echelon rush up, and Dragovich, who commanded a large army behind, was suddenly fooled and sent all the follow-up troops up. As a result, the thousands of people were condescendingly slaughtered by mountain artillery and heavy machine guns in the open field with an unobstructed view.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. Rezenov was very unlucky to meet both at the same time!
The rebels' position was very bad, and the trenches were divided into two parts, low in the front and high in the back, and at the junction was a huge pit 3.5 meters deep and 12 meters wide. Connected by a suspension bridge. Once an ordinary infantry jumps, they don't want to be able to climb with their bare hands. The walls of the pit on both sides are brushed with a layer of cement and inlaid with a large amount of iron wire, and there is a danger of scraping off the flesh even if you touch it.
After the first echelon rushed up, they immediately started a bayonet battle with the enemy, and no one paid attention to whether the friendly troops behind them followed up, and when they were fighting, they felt a little wrong, and some clever people looked back and found that behind the smoke was the same as dancing disco, it was a flash, and a dancing figure, which looked very "happy".
Soon the regiment's offensive began to weaken, and the meat grinder-like trench layout cost them a full 500 lives in just 20 minutes, and everyone alive was wounded. Rezenov's armored squadron lost 3 T-26s in succession, which was the result of Krisgaard's timely destruction of several 37 guns on the position.
Rezenov understood that if this continued, the little advantage they had before would soon disappear, and they would be driven back by the enemy as soon as they could not stand. But at this time, not only did the follow-up reinforcements not keep up, but the support shelling from the rear also stopped, and the enemy's resistance gradually turned from defense to attack, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for them.
"Damn it! What the hell is that bastard Dragovich doing!? ”
The battle in front of him became more and more fierce, and the huge trench could not even pass through the mecha, and one BT-5 and one T-26 jumped one after another, and now they are still trapped in the ditch, and the situation is quite embarrassing. And at this moment, a cannon shot came from a distance, and this voice suddenly made Rezenov secretly say "not good" in his heart!
The German-made PAK35 anti-armor gun, 37mm caliber armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate the armor of the T-26 and BT-5 from any angle, and this thing has an extremely fast rate of fire, with the assistance of a skilled loader, it can do 30 rounds per minute, which means that the opponent has the ability to take out 13 Soviet mechs on the position in half a minute.
The first shot missed, but immediately after the second shot took out a T-26 to Rezenov's right, and the killing began. It was definitely the elite gunners who operated this anti-aircraft gun, and most likely, the Germans who were familiar with the performance of this gun! Rezenov dodged and searched for the location of the other party, and finally after losing 5 of his comrades, he found that the other party was shamelessly hiding in a church on a nearby high slope.
"Bastard! Do you think that if you hide in a Catholic church, no one will dare to do it? Lao Tzu is Orthodox! Kill the heretics, little ones! ”
Rezenov roared, and took the lead in firing in the direction of the church, and in the case of life and death, no one cared about the respect for God, and all of them followed the fire to the church, and in an instant the cathedral that the locals were proud of was full of holes, and the anti-armor guns hiding in the church were also dumbfired, and I don't know if they were hanging or moving.
In a short time, Rezenov's squadron lost more than half of its squadron, and the infantry was stubbornly held up in a hail of bullets, and the enemy had to retreat unless the enemy lowered the drawbridge over the trench and let them pass. At this dilemma, Rezenov saw Krisgaard's BT-5 suddenly running backwards, but he believed that the brave girl would not run away.
Sure enough! After retreating more than 70 meters, Krisgaard turned around and immediately rushed to the trench at full speed, seeing what she wanted to do, Rezenov's eyes suddenly lit up, and ran to face the enemy formation in front of her, Krisgaard's BT-5 jumped up on the opponent's back, flew over the 12-meter-wide trench, and in the enemy's stunned voice, he impartially trampled the rebel brigade commander who was operating the machine gun to death......
All right! This thing was actually on the front line to boost morale, and the brave figure of the other party personally operating the machine gun did boost morale, but the firing point where he was located was impartial and directly opposite Krisgaard. As soon as the girl saw that this was a machine gun point, she took advantage of the situation to satisfy the desire of this "foot control brigade commander" to be stepped on!
The BT-5 that suddenly jumped over immediately stunned all the soldiers on the position, and some guys saw that the brigade commander was gone, and even forgot to shoot again. Skipping over, Christgaard was not busy killing the enemy, but first rushed to the nearest drawbridge, tore off the iron cable, and then kicked the drawbridge with a "back kick", and the Republican army with an offensive channel immediately rushed over.
"Attack! Don't stop, rush over and win! ”
Hoarse and exhausted, the angry soldiers rushed across the drawbridge. The rebels were about to organize a reserve to come up, when two destroyers suddenly rushed down from the clouds in the sky, and before the two sides could see where they belonged, the opponent turned the ship sideways in the air and pointed its guns at the town to show their position! (To be continued......)
PS: At night, I argued with a stupid × like a stupid ×, and it was gone in the blink of an eye for 2 hours......
In addition, let's make a later preview: a real Yàn model of the Soviet Army is about to debut, and Zhao Jian has embarked on the road of "collecting scraps......
