Chapter 1038 The Battle of Beizhao Pass
Because the 77th Regiment had tanks to help, at the beginning, the pressure on the Beizhaoguan front line, whether it was the first battalion of the Independent Regiment or the 66th Regiment position on the left and right wings, was much greater than that of the Third Army in front of Gu Yongfeng.
The shadows of the Black Hawk infantry were still hundreds of meters away. The Black Hawk Army's howitzers first came to open the way, pouring artillery fire to the main position of Beizhaoguan and the two wing positions for more than an hour, plowing the hillside and the top several times. Several trenches were blown up and collapsed and could not be used.
During this hour, the Black Hawk Army planes also came to help. Two waves of twelve bombers dropped twelve heavy bombs to the North Zhaoguan battlefield. However, there was a lesson from being ambushed by two air defense positions before. This time, the Black Hawk Army dropped bombs at an altitude of at least 800 meters, so that's the case.
However, blind cats can catch dead mice, not to mention that they can be bombed thousands of meters of fire in one blow. Although there are not many soldiers who stay on the position as an observation, the soldiers who can only protect the mountain cannons and shells at most still suffer casualties.
In an hour, at least three infantry squads were sent up in the three positions, and only one-third of them survived in the end.
More than twenty people, before they could fire a shot at the Black Hawk Empire Army, they were torn to pieces by the sky. Like the Third Army in front of Gu Yongfeng, even as strong as Liu Lang, they did not dare to have no observer on the position, so that the Black Hawk Army could easily occupy the front line.
The most important tactical method of the reverse inclined tunnel tactic is not to defend the top of the mountain, but to withdraw the tunnel on the back of the mountain, and to cover the edge position with its own artillery fire before recapturing it.
To put it bluntly, if you want to fight this kind of mountain defense battle mainly based on the reverse slope tunnel, first of all, the defender must have a large number of artillery, enough to cover the edge-line positions; in this regard, the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment has 6 mountain cannons and a large number of mortars and even storm rocket launchers that have been kept confidential and have never been exposed. It is completely satisfying, and it is much stronger than the battle of the ancient city.
Secondly, there must be a fortification on the back of the mountain that makes the attacking party scratch their heads. Even if they occupy the edges, they cannot be said to ensure that they can attack the tunnel and drive the defenders out of the position completely. But this point, Liu Lang is far inferior to the time of the Battle of the Ancient City. Luowenyu, which spent a month building fortifications on the Tushan Mountain, was far better than that of Beizhao Pass, which had only spent a week on the Shitou Mountain.
If you lose the position on the top of the mountain during the day, as long as the Black Hawk Army finds clues, invests a lot of troops and uses artillery to suppress artillery, the 66th Regiment and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment in the simple reverse slope tunnel will be extremely heavy.
Therefore, the position on the top of the mountain cannot be easily lost. Even if it is to be lost, it cannot be at this time. As strong as Liu Lang, he can only harden his heart and see Ye Zifei unable to contact the soldiers who observe the position on the top of the mountain, and then send four to five people up for three consecutive waves.
The same is true for the 66th Regiment. Faced with a death rate of 80%, they kept sending troops. In terms of implementing military orders, the Duchy Army was completely comparable to the independent regiment, or even stronger. All the soldiers who received military orders took their soldiers without hesitation and entered a battlefield that could be smashed to pieces at any time.
When the suffocating shelling ended, when the sharp sound of bamboo flutes came from the top of the mountain, everyone knew that the Black Hawks had begun to attack.
In addition to the special brigade equipment at the squad leader level, the rest of the walkie-jet developed by the Independent Regiment were equipped at least at the level of the infantry company. There were two telephones on the front line of the mountain and the rear were kept in touch at any time.
At the beginning of the war, the Independent Regiment used it quite well. Based on the aircraft wireless communicator of the White Eagle Kingdom, the regiment commander Liu proposed that the group of prides led by Lao Liu had worked hard to develop the Kingdom version of "Big Brother" for more than a year. Even in such a mountain, the communication distance can reach ten kilometers at most, which is far beyond Liu Lang's imagination.
But when the battle started, Liu Lang still found out tragically that he was really thinking too much. Not to mention this era, even in the next eighty years, anti-electromagnetic interference is also a problem that bothers all the professors. When artillery fire is everywhere, the walkie-talkilometer will not be said to be ten kilometers, even a few hundred meters, you can only hear the "sizzling" current sound in the walkie-talkilometer.
With the high-tech technology of Tyniang, Liu Lang could only be forced to continue to use the bamboo whistle and signal flares of different colors used in the last battle of the ancient city to replace long-distance communication. As for the telephone, do you think the telephone line can be kept from being blown off at such a level?
After entering the position, the officers and soldiers of the battalion and company realized that this time, it was not the familiar Black Hawk infantry formation, but the infantry followed closely behind.
Moreover, there were not a few tanks, but there were more than a dozen. There were black smoke rising, and there were four large and small ones in the direction of the main position of Beizhao Pass.
The big ones, the veterans of the first battalion and company, saw them in the ancient city. The familiar Type 89 tank weighing fifteen tons, and they were equipped with a 57MM cannon. During the battle of the ancient city, the two regiments of the 29th Army could only carry explosives and cluster grenades as human bombs in order to deal with them, otherwise there would be no other way.
The small one has never seen it before, and the small one is even a little pitiful, not even a turret, just a heavy machine gun.
However, no matter how small it is, it is also made of steel. Faced with this monster wearing more than ten millimeters of steel plate armor, the light and heavy machine guns on the position almost dare not appear. As soon as several heavy machine guns opened fire tentatively, they swaggered and bombarded the Type 89 medium tank that was mounted on the hillside. Although the 57MM short-barrel cannon is not very powerful, it is still fine to fire temporary fortifications such as sandbags such as light and heavy machine guns.
The small Douding Tank unscrupulously poured the 7.7mm machine gun bullets on the position hundreds of meters away, causing smoke and dust to emerge on the position.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The mountain in Beizhaoguan is not dangerous. After a round of crazy baptism of howitzers, the huge rocks on the hillside have been blown away, but many huge craters have been left behind.
With the small engine of the Type 94 Xiaodin Tank with only 32 horsepower, it is not easy to get over a complex environment on the battlefield. Even if it is also small, the combat weight is only 3.3 tons, and the length of the car is only 3.12 meters, which is even a little shorter than the 3.2 meters of the future Alto sedan.
To be honest, the Black Hawks actually have no experience in cooperating with the armored forces. The tanks were patrolling back and forth on the hillside in black smoke and could not move forward. They simply threw away the tanks and attacked themselves, treating the tanks as fixed turrets and machine gun fire points at close range.
After all, the firepower of the Type 94 light tank without a turret but equipped with a 7.7mm machine gun has been proven both in the northern battlefield and in the Southeast Haicheng battlefield.
Although they are still looking for roads to climb the mountain on the hillside, the two types of tanks that look like slag-type in various countries are absolutely not weak, and the defenders on the mountain are really helpless with this steel monster that is at least 500 meters away.
Because of the need to cross the ridge, the dead corner of the Bofos mountain cannon of the Independent Regiment Mountain Cannon Battalion happened to be a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. This is the same as the howitzers and mountain cannons of the Black Hawks could not hit the independent regiment behind the ridge to win the back slope tunnel.
The mountain cannons that can cause damage to this thin-skinned tank cannot be hit, only the mortars. But the Black Hawks are not stupid. When a few mortar shells explode not far away, their tanks begin to move and use mortars to attack targets of this kind of activity. Then the god gunner is not easy to use, and they can only rely on luck.
However, Liu Lang, who was personally directing the battle, watched from the telescope, as the Black Hawk Army hundreds of meters away, began to abandon the tank and attack upwards, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If a tiger doesn’t show his power, he really treats me as a sick cat. Is it amazing to have a tank?
The Black Hawk Army's infantry attacked 300 meters, and the Beizhaoguan position was still quiet. There was no gunshot on the three defensive positions. After the Black Hawk Army tanks fired several guns to tentatively shoot several heavy machine guns.
This scene made Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, the commander of the front line of the Black Hawk Army, a squadron leader of the First Infantry Brigade of the 77th Infantry Brigade, a little creepy. The infantry brigade captain is usually a major-level officer. This capable person can also imagine his qualifications.
As I usually say, it's an old bird.
I haven't really studied the Army seriously, but the infantry captain who went from sergeant to lieutenant colonel deeply felt that there was a conspiracy.
Bastard, that vicious "College of Beasts" has definitely had a big conspiracy.
However, even though he knew that his infantry squadron had been surrounded by someone's conspiracy, the old lieutenant colonel in the Black Hawk Army could only continue to bite the bullet and order his soldiers who were also bitched.
No matter how strong the Independent Regiment is and how cunning Liu Lang is, if he retreats just because his opponent doesn't fire a shot, it will not only become a big joke, but I'm afraid the entire 77th Regiment and even the 39th Brigade will become a big joke in the Black Hawks sequence.
When the Black Hawk army advanced to 200 meters in fear and could almost see the face of the kingdom guards opposite, a sharp bamboo whistle suddenly came from the top of the mountain.
