Chapter 1114
The sound of machine guns sounded as if the wind was blowing, and the bullets were so dense that they rained down.
Fortunately, in this place, the Ming Dynasty built reinforced concrete fortifications in advance.
Bullets rained down on the outside of the bunker, and the cement wall skin was gnawed off layer by layer, revealing the steel bars inside.
Hiding inside the bunker and listening to the sound of "bang" and "bang" outside, it was really heart-pounding.
The worst thing was the howitzer shells, which smashed on the fortifications with a whistle.
The reinforced concrete on the top of the fortifications was directly blown open, and although the fortifications were not blown up, almost all the people inside were shocked to death.
"Artillery support, eight-two-one area, artillery coverage." Li Jiu held the phone in his hand, and his voice was so loud that he could barely speak.
It's not that he wants to shout like this, but it's so loud that he can't hear it if he doesn't shout loudly.
All morning, he kept reporting the coordinates to the artillery positions behind.
Piles of shells, a wall of fire was punched in front of the position. Anything that tried to pass through this wall of fire was torn to shreds by the shells.
"Change the barrel!" The machine gunner roared, and the co-shooter hurriedly removed the barrel with thick gloves.
The hot barrel was tossed aside, immediately igniting the yellow weeds.
"Run, you idiot!" The Heavy roared loudly.
Without waiting for the co-shooter to change the barrel, he ran away with the machine gun.
Kankan ran more than ten meters, and a mortar smashed into the position just now.
If you stay there now, you will be killed directly.
"Holy shit, if you fucking make something happen, I'll kill you."
"Ban ......! Squad leader, don't be angry. "The secondary shooter is a recruit who has been in the army for less than a year.
I was very frightened to see the veteran angry!
"You're ......!" The Heavy raised his hand and slowly lowered it again.
This is the third co-shooter in five days!
On the battlefield, the Heavy is an extremely dangerous post. The opponent's mortars are almost staring at their own machine guns.
This is very similar to the tactics of the Ming army, and Li Jiu used to think that the Kurds had high tactical literacy.
But I didn't expect that there were real Hebrews on the other side.
The continuous assault finally stopped, and the battlefield was filled with the heavy smell of gunsmoke. The smell even overshadowed the smell of blood emanating from the corpse.
Two hundred meters away from the front of the area were corpses strewn with intact, but mostly fragmented.
Many of them were killed by machine guns, and then unluckily blown up by shells.
Whenever a cannonball fell two or three hundred meters in front of the position, Li Jiu would always jump to his feet and scold his mother.
It must be the naval guns of the Navy, and at this distance, the naval guns of the Navy are not accurate at all.
It is already a blessing that he did not hit the position of his own people.
The communicator brought two buns, but was pushed away by Li Jiuyi.
"Water!" Li Jiu felt that his throat hurt badly, and the fire was burning, and at this time, only drinking water could quench his thirst.
The correspondent handed over a kettle, and Li Jiu poured water into his stomach with "Gudu" and "Gudu".
When the water runs down my throat, it feels a little better.
But after the flow is broken, it hurts again.
After pouring a pot of water slowly, the buns couldn't be eaten.
Li Jiu lay on the observation port of the bunker and looked at the opposite position and was angry.
Today's attack on the opposite side was so ferocious that three large-scale attacks were launched in just one morning.
There are many small-scale tentative attacks, and I don't know how many.
Anyway, from the moment the sun came out, the gunfire never stopped.
There had been a pause for a moment when the phone rang.
The correspondent answered the phone, and then hurriedly handed the microphone to Li Jiu.
I finally know why the opposite side is attacking with such ferocity!
At the junction of his own platoon and his brother troops, a 500-meter-long hole was torn open.
No less than 300 Kurds had already poured into the front along the gap, and the battalion decided to close the opening.
Fifty people came out of the battalion directly under the battalion, and the rest had to be put together in each company.
The quota was apportioned layer by layer, and it came to Li Jiu. Eight people!
The troops were already stretched thin, and they were ready to ask for reinforcements from above. But I didn't expect that now there will be eight more people to participate in the bloody counteroffensive.
Li Jiu, who was helpless, could only squeeze out six people from the bunker that wanted to be a little richer.
Li Jiu picked up an Aka rifle by himself, and brought the communicator to get together enough for eight people.
According to the order, Li Jiu came to the starting position of the junction.
Leading the team is a knife-faced captain!
Li Jiu didn't know him, and he was definitely not an officer in the battalion, or even in the regiment.
"They are all men of our Liao army, don't say anything else. See what you do, you can do it.
There are those who are sluggish, grandpa knows you, but the bullet in grandpa's gun doesn't know you. ”
The captain glanced out, and with a wave of his hand, a hundred and ten men crawled out of the trench.
Try to keep your body close to the ground without blowing too much dust. It's actually a lot of work!
But in order to survive, the big guys didn't complain.
Then under the cover of the terrain, I climbed to the bottom of a dirt slope. Under cover, the big guy finally breathed back.
"Add the machine guns, and the mortars are scattered twenty meters on the rack. You, just say you, the second lieutenant. Come here! ”
The captain pointed at Li Jiu's nose, there were only two officers here, except for the captain, there was only this second lieutenant officer left.
Li Jiu came to the captain!
"You command the fire team here, and the machine gun is responsible for suppression.
Mortars, machine guns that give me a desperate greeting to the other side.
It's up to you how many people will survive. ”
The captain sent Li Jiu's shoulder, and the officers who could charge into battle were all good officers.
There were no grandiose words, let alone shouting: "Rush! The hero's bridge.
With a wave of his hand, the captain was the first to leap up the dirt slope.
Almost as he went up the dirt slope, he pulled the trigger in his hand.
The domineering sound of the Arca rifle shook people's eardrums.
Almost as soon as the people crossed the slope, Li Jiu ordered to shoot at the Kurdish soldiers behind the slope.
MG43 made a sound of tearing linen, and scorching bullets flew like locusts towards the Kurds.
A puff of dust rose in front of the Kurds, and blood flew in the dust.
As soon as the charge began, a squad of Kurds was knocked out by machine guns.
"Dada......!" A dull sound of machine guns was heard.
Li Jiu's scalp tingled when he heard it, it was Makqin's voice.
The telescope quickly found the direction of the machine gun: "Eleven o'clock, six hundred meters away." ”
In the binoculars, Li Jiu easily found the tongue of fire spit out by the muzzle of Makqin's gun.
The artillery directly under the battalion headquarters was very powerful, and just after Li Jiu finished shouting, they had already adjusted the mortars.
"Bang bang bang!" Three shells smashed through, and a few puffs of smoke rose from the front of the machine gun.
The calculator quickly adjusted the angle of the gun, and soon fired a second salvo.
Li Jiu was in the telescope and saw the scene of machine gun ammunition exploding. This machine-gun position of the Kurds is finished!
At this time, the charging person had been suppressed in the open space by the opponent's firepower. They lay on the ground and shoot at each other.
From time to time, there was one or two screams, which was an embellishment in the midst of the dense gunfire.
Li Jiuyi glanced at his machine gun squad leader and pointed to the small high slope on the other side of the dirt slope: "You go there, then the other party's machine gun will be pressed down." ”
"No!" The machine gun squad leader answered the promise and ran away with his men with machine guns.
They took the cover of the terrain and ran behind the dirt slope. Climbing up the dirt slope with all their hands and feet, they found themselves on the flank of the enemy line.
MG43 stood up, with the sound of tearing linen.
A string of scorching bullets strafed the Kurds!
The Kurds were killed and wounded, and at this time, the captain and his men attacked.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and there were only seventy-eight of the more than one hundred masters left. There were also a dozen wounded, who were carried onto the tricycle by the people who ran up from behind.
In total, almost two hundred Kurds were killed, dressed in various clothes.
But three of the corpses were wearing gray military uniforms with the Star David logo on their armbands.
"That's right! The Kurds are mixed with Hebrews. The captain took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Jiu.
"I'm afraid it's not just that, many of the people who attacked our positions today are wearing these gray military uniforms.
Moreover, some wear steel helmets. At first glance, you know that it is elite!
Sir, when are the reinforcements coming? If you don't come for reinforcements, this front will be enough. ”
Li Jiu took the cigarette, took out a match to help the captain light it, and lit it himself and smoked it.
"The marshal has already recruited soldiers in the country, but that far water can't quench the thirst.
The whole Middle East is in chaos, and there is no way to pull out troops.
The nearest place with the most troops was Constantinople.
I heard that a division has been dispatched. And in Crete, Cyrenaica sent a battalion each.
The vanguard has already disembarked in Basra, and the rest are expected to arrive in three to five days. ”
The captain took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the battlefield that was still filled with gunsmoke.
After more than two months of tug-of-war with the Kurds on this land, large-scale reinforcements finally arrived.
The big guys are excited because of this news!
"I heard that Egypt and Suezburg were under siege, what happened to these Arabs.
The bird that looks like a bird on weekdays is actually rebelling now. ”
"Who the fuck knows. You kid is good, everyone else sent a squad leader to lead the team, but you kid actually came with soldiers himself.
What's it called? ”
"Report to the sir, my name is Li Jiu.
I really can't squeeze people out of the position, so I can't bring people over by myself. ”
"Okay, you're a man. Lao Tzu remembers you! ”
"Sir, when can we go down and rest? My platoon was almost crippled, and now there were only fifteen people in the platoon.
However, the guarded position was more than 300 meters, which was won by Lianli and Lianli last night.
I can't hold it! ”
"It's coming! That is, for a day or two, hold on a little longer.
The Kurds launched such a large-scale offensive that it is estimated that they will not last long. This afternoon, they should not attack again. ”
"Why! I don't know about other people's positions, my positions are like a sieve now. Li Jiu felt strange, if it was himself, he would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
"Huh! Do you think their logistical supplies can compare with ours?
Our supply line is nothing more than from Basra to the front line. Your position is almost at the forefront, and it is only more than thirty kilometers away.
But you see, how long are these Kurds' supply lines?
How many heavy artillery shells did they use, and how many mortar shells did they use in the morning offensive.
Not to mention, the bullets hit like it was raining.
This kind of offense, people are fine. But there is a problem with logistics!
You know, today to support you on the front lines. The artillery turned the barrels red, and the commander of the artillery battalion of the regiment was smoked like a little ghost.
I've heard that Dashuai is going to play a big game this time. ”
The captain said a word to Li Jiu mysteriously, and then stopped talking and continued to smoke.
The fighting on the outskirts of Basra was in full swing, but Li Xiu in Cairo City had a terrible headache.
Unlike Basra, where live ammunition is fired, the situation in Cairo is very hanging.
The soldiers of the patrol the city normally, but they don't know when, a bullet will shoot from nowhere, taking the lives of the soldiers.
No one knows where the bullets came from.
Because these people only shoot once, whether they hit or not, they will immediately hide and flee.
The standard shot is a change of place, although the gun is often empty. But after three months, the results are also very brilliant.
As early as three months ago, when the turbulent situation had just invaded Cairo, Li Xiu ordered martial law for the entire city of Cairo.
But now that martial law has been imposed for three months, the freedom to sneak attack the patrol has not decreased.
Moreover, there is also some meaning of changing Bengali.
At first, it was just a rifle attack, and it was good to be able to fight, and there was no loss if it didn't fight.
But later, the attacker actually had a grenadier in his hand.
This was the equipment of the Ming infantry, a lethal weapon against dense crowds and gunmen within 600 meters.
And this thing has a characteristic, that is, the emitting flame is small, and the smoke is also small.
And the muzzle has no fire, which is ideal for use at night.
The most important thing is that it's good and affordable. A single shell was capable of killing three or four Ming soldiers, and relatively speaking, the losses of the attackers were negligible.
Then there is the low sound, so small that the transmitter can barely hear much sound from ten meters away.
Now that it's in the hands of the rebels in Cairo, the patrols are constantly being attacked with grenadiers.
The casualties were very large, and they had reached the point that Li Xiu could not tolerate them.
But you can't help it, if you want martial law. You have to have troops patrolling the streets, but if you're patrolling, you're going to have to accept bullets that come from nowhere, or bombs from grenadiers.
Originally, Li Xiu was a fire in his belly, but these two days have passed. Li Xiu was surprised to find that the opponent actually had a mortar.
There are ten people in one patrol team, and now there are only three left.
According to their descriptions, they walked at intervals of nine meters.
This distance is to avoid a single shell coming down and causing serious casualties.
"Check! Even if you search every room in Cairo, you have to fix these guys! ”
