Chapter 1056 Complete victory (10)
On the battlefield, the Black Hawks faced a choice of either life or death, and their so-called beliefs were unquestionable at this moment.
If you retreat, you may live or die, but if you move forward, you will undoubtedly die.
In the face of the choice of the belief that can continue to breathe and dedicate life to the empire, the Black Hawk Army on the hillside has begun to move.
Of course it is not moving forward, it is retreat.
At least three infantry squadrons have requested a retreat from the captain commander who is also making a difficult decision. At this point, failure is destined, and it is meaningless to persevere. It is a fool's talent to use the lives of the Imperial Warriors to add golden light to the military medals of the kingdoms in vain.
For life, the Black Hawk Empire Army can also find high-quality reasons. Although they are usually astonishing as they are, their heads are as flexible in critical moments. This should be the so-called quick-witness.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who was 2,000 meters away, was also making difficult choices.
Seeing that the mortars on the independent regiment's position suddenly increased, the smoke on the infantry positions almost covered the sky and the sun, the old Lieutenant Colonel knew the plan of "Collector of the Beast".
He actually hid his strength.
After he took out at least four 20mm machine guns and no less than ten mortars, he actually hid several mortars and unknown number of light and heavy machine guns.
God knows if he still has a trump card that has not been opened? With the strength he showed on the central position alone, he is almost as low as the division of the kingdom troops he met, and even needs more equipment.
Could it be that the so-called Liu Lang Independence Group, which those stupid intelligence officers inquired about, belonged to the local warlord Qiu Tongjun of the Kingdom, is a complete joke? Liu Lang Independence Group should be the ordnance built by the legendary kingdom people with the support of the idiot generals of the Zhouhui Kingdom!
Otherwise, if you want to break your head, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei would not have thought of why they would have such strong firepower.
Of course, these are no longer important. No matter how powerful Liu Lang's firepower is, what he has to do now is not to let Liu Lang succeed.
The purpose of Liu Lang doing this was to eat his two infantry squadrons. The 1st Infantry Brigade had only 4 infantry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron. Now, at least half of the heavy machine gun squadrons had been killed by him, and he actually set his mind on the infantry squadron again.
This is really "Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't"! A hint of green air flashed across the face of the old bird's aunt, and the hostility in her eyes made the staff officers in the brigade department on the side feel cold all over. Just like Lieutenant Colonel Old Bird once gently patted his butt.
"The order was to have four mountain cannons directly under the artillery squadron, target, the main position on the top of the kingdom's mountain, and the artillery fire was covered in ten minutes." Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei's order made the brigade's staff officers cold all over.
He even felt something was wrong with his ears. It was already crazy to let the infantry cannons such as direct aiming cannons fire more than 100 meters from the attack of his infantry to the Kingdom people's position.
But no one expected that there was no craziest, only even more crazy, the Lieutenant Colonel actually ordered the 75 mountain cannon to fire.
"Lieutenant Colonel..." The staff officer with the rank of lieutenant was brave enough to remind him.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei suddenly turned around, and his face covered all the words behind him back to his throat. "I inform Captain Chi in front of him to do a hiding position. The artillery attack slowed down and the entire army immediately attacked and occupied the positions of the kingdom people. Please give him the glory of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 77th Infantry Regiment."
"At the same time, please be sure to pass my request to the artillery squadron. This artillery attack concerns the lives of more than 300 imperial warriors of my 1st Infantry Brigade and the glory of the entire regiment. Please be sure to hit the target accurately. Please." After issuing two consecutive military orders, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei gave another emotional advice at the end.
"Yes!" The Black Hawk Army staff could only bow their heads and accept the military order, turn around and leave quickly.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei looked at the back of the lieutenant staff member and took the telescope back and stared at the distance. The expression on his face was like steel casting iron and there was no emotional change.
At an extremely critical moment under his command, the Black Hawk Infantry Captain actually issued an order to bombard the mountain top position. What's even more jaw-dropping is that he made the decision not to retreat and continue the attack.
As a curved cannon, the landing point is much harder to control than a straight-sight cannon. The previous squadron leader was already frightened by the infantry attacking artillery that was extremely close to the target with infantry cannons, let alone mountain cannons.
No matter how much it is a magic gunner, it is impossible to guarantee that the mountain cannon can accurately shoot such artillery with range strike as its tactical core to not accidentally injure one's infantry more than 200 meters away. Not to mention the Death Squad that was struggling 70 meters in front of the position of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment.
As long as four mountain cannons start bombarding, the remaining more than 30 people will definitely become cannon fodder.
But as the highest commander of the Black Hawk Army's front line, no one dared not to accept the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei.
The four mountain cannons of the artillery squadron began to adjust the muzzle based on the data sent back by the artillery observers in the front. They tried to send the shells to the top of the mountain more accurately without sending their own infantry to the sky. At the same time, the communications soldiers passed the order of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei to Captain Chi Ren, the front commander of the Black Hawk Army who was struggling in the mortar bombing.
At that moment, Chi Ren's face was gray. He didn't expect that Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei would be so cold-blooded. At such a disadvantage, he would even want him to attack. Attack, would he have to attack the elite infantry in this battle?
Of course, the most terrifying thing was not to lead the infantry to continue the attack. The most terrifying thing was that it was already two minutes later when the communication soldiers passed the military orders conveyed by the flag language to him.
At this time, those stupid artillery soldiers who must strictly implement Shangguan's military orders should also adjust their muzzles! I hope they will shoot more accurately.
In fact, it is no longer so important to hide or not. In order to avoid the mortar shells that the kingdoms were still bombarding desperately, the remaining 200 infantry soldiers on the hillside hid more tightly than ever.
If you can't escape the mountain cannon shells that may be offended, you can only think that you are unlucky.
With a "boom", a shell exploded on a slope more than 400 meters behind the Beizhaoguan position.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying grenade cut through the sky from far to near. Several consecutive grenades exploded behind the position.
Liu Lang's eyes shrank suddenly in the command center.
"Everyone, hidden, Black Hawk Army shelling." Without Liu Lang's order, commanders at all levels on the position roared desperately.
In fact, there is no need for the company commander, platoon leader, and the squad leader, the veterans who participated in the ancient city battle on the position accounted for at least one-third. When they heard the shells crossing the sky, they hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly into the nearest anti-aircraft hole with their guns in their arms.
The recruits were reminded whether during training or before the war, and following the veterans' learning, there was a 50% chance of survival. Only those who survived a war and finally survived are qualified to be called veterans.
Otherwise, even if many of them have been soldiers for four years, they can only be called new recruits.
At a distance of four thousand meters, the artillery shells with a speed of up to 800 meters per second were whistled and flew to the Beizhaoguan position in just five seconds, and the time left for the independent regiment soldiers to dodge was almost zero, because the shells were faster than the sound.
However, this is just a test shot. As Black Hawk observers report the shelling effect to the artillery behind, the real shelling will arrive soon.
"The Black Hawk Empire dares to fire artillery, and they will retreat for me." Liu Jinzuo even screamed strangely, ordering all artillery soldiers to carry the artillery and the remaining artillery shells to retreat downwards.
Although his artillery position is behind the position, it is not at the absolute dead corner of howitzer. Moreover, because of the mountain, the distance between each mortar is not far, and there is no need to be too many. As long as a mountain cannon shell hits this place, it will be more than half of the total. He dare not take this risk. The 82 mortars that the entire first battalion can gather, and they must not be finished here.
This is just the first battle to truly confront the Black Hawk Empire Army. In the future, I don’t know how many battles I will fight with the Black Hawk Empire people, and every cannon will be extremely precious.
Sure enough, while the officers and soldiers on the position were still drilling into the individual anti-cannon holes and hidden holes, the Black Hawk Army's mountain cannons fired again. After two rounds of test firing, the shells finally landed on the position.
The 6.5-kilogram projectile exploded, the earth shaking, and the terrifying air waves rolled up hundreds of square meters of dust.
Many of the new recruits who had never really been in the baptism of artillery fire were pale. This was the power of the 75 mountain cannon. If it were replaced with a 105 howitzer, what kind of terrible situation would it be?
On the other hand, the veterans were much more relaxed, like the old monkey, even leisurely lit a cigarette in the Tibetan soldiers' cave with logs. In his words, if the Black Hawk Empire's shells could not be blocked here, there would be no safe ground on the position. Damn it, and he could only face the ball up, afraid that it would be of use to have another egg?
The old monkey, who was injured in his arm but was worried about his brothers at work, finally asked to fight and went to the position again. However, although he could not shoot with his arms hanging, he used practical actions to soothe the hearts of the other ten people in an infantry squad. His infantry squad had damaged three people in the previous battle, and two were injured and one person died, and they were all carried down.
As time goes by, more and more shells landed on the position. The four-type 41 mountain cannons with a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute are undoubtedly terrible. They can throw more than 30 shells into this position that is only 800 meters long and 60 meters wide and 50,000 square meters in one minute.
In ten minutes, it is enough to throw more than 300 shells, and grenades with a killing radius of 10 meters can completely plow this position.
Chapter completed!
