Chapter 1182 Face is dead
While the bayonet camp broke through the city defense of Wenzhangguan, the 26th Artillery Corps defense line of the Guyongfeng front line had been completely broken.
It was much smoother than expected. After Zhang Ruhao led more than 400 troops to wipe out a small team of the Black Hawk Army, he not only distributed an infantry company to resist the attacks of less than 50 Black Hawk Army from behind the artillery positions, no Black Hawk Army was found on the positions on both wings. What about an infantry brigade of the Black Hawk Army that was shown in the early reconnaissance?
At the beginning, Zhang Ruhao was still worried, thinking that the Black Hawk Army had played some tricks. Could it be that this was not their main defense line, and there was a second defense line? But as the 71st Regiment, which followed quickly, all the infantry battalions of the 71st Regiment entered the defense line, the Black Hawk Army did not see a large number of troops invested in counterattacks, so he was completely relieved.
At this time, no matter what tricks the Black Hawk Army played, the nearly 1,000 troops that had approached the Black Hawk Army's artillery position were only 500 meters, and the more than 1,000 troops that were approaching in the future were definitely not something that the Black Hawk Army could shake in a short time.
In the distance, the awoken Black Hawk Army's roars and figures that had woken up also proved that they were far more panicked than they thought.
In the past ten minutes, the Black Hawk Army's field guns were not fired, but as cannons, the effective range was as high as 10,000 meters. However, for targets that were close to you...
The awesome cannon cannon is simply a weak one now. I am afraid that when I see the mortar, I have to call him "Dad". Except for exploding more than a thousand meters of black smoke, it will not harm the brigade of the 71st Regiment and the 86th Brigade that were advancing. The bayonet is obviously not the strength of modern cannons such as the Black Hawk Army.
At the breakthrough of the road in which Zhang Ruhao was located, there were also fierce gunfire sounds between the mountains on both wings. Obviously, it was the attack of the Death Camp and the Panshi Camp. The unique sound of 82 mortar shells and the continuous explosions showed that they had an absolute advantage.
Before Brigade Commander Wang arrived, Zhang Ruhao ordered all the officers and soldiers disguised as Black Hawks and Blue Army to take off their yellow military uniforms, wear only white shirts, and have red ribbons hanging around their necks.
This is to prevent accidental injury. On such a battlefield with bad vision, everyone is highly nervous. Whenever they see that they are not their own military uniforms, they will subconsciously shoot. Not to mention the upcoming melee, even when the gap was broken, when a guard battalion soldiers were nervous, they would shoot at the Blue Army soldiers who wanted to jump out of the trench, both in military uniforms and tactical actions, just like the Black Hawks. If the soldier hadn't reacted quickly and quickly returned to the trench and reminded loudly, he would have almost died in his own hands.
Now, it is a time when you fight in close combat or you die or I live, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
In addition to leaving an infantry platoon and two heavy machine guns to guard the fortifications on both sides of the highway, Zhang Ruhao gathered two infantry companies of the Blue Army, the first company of the 12th Division Guard Battalion and the first battalion of the 71st Regiment, and divided them into three routes to charge forward towards the Black Hawk Army artillery positions.
Their combat mission this time is not only to raid the Black Hawk Army's artillery positions, but more importantly, to seize this batch of cannons, so that the Black Hawk Army cannot give the Black Hawk Army time to blow up the cannons.
From hearing gunshots from afar and receiving attacks on the front positions by the Kingdom army, Zhang Dongqun's heads grew bigger.
When is it difficult for the kingdom to come? He chose this time? If it were before yesterday, he wouldn't be very afraid. But at this time, the Major General of the Black Hawk Empire Army was really afraid.
Just as Zhang Ruhao was surprised, there were too few Black Hawks defending the outer positions of the 26th Artillery Regiment of the Black Hawks. To be precise, it was pitiful.
Originally, Zhang Dongqun attached great importance to the safety of the 26th Artillery Regiment. In addition to an infantry guard squadron that the 26th Artillery Regiment originally had, he also placed his brigade headquarters near the 26th Artillery Regiment, and transferred an infantry brigade of the 78th Infantry Regiment to protect the artillery position outside.
Not to mention that the opponent is an independent regiment, there is also the lesson of the raid of the 8th Division's heavy artillery brigade being raided a few years ago. Zhang Dongqun was already cautious enough.
In addition to 36 field guns, the 26th Artillery Corps also had 12 105 howitzers, all of which were big guys. Moreover, the Black Hawk Army artillery was very abide by the artillery code, with the straight-line distance between each gun reaching 40 to 50 meters. If all 48 guns were placed like this, the area could cover hundreds of acres. Moreover, this was still in a flat state.
In mountains like Guyong Peak, there are not many flat lands, and the area where these 48 cannons are placed exceeds 2,000 acres. In other words, the area where the cannons of the 26th Artillery Regiment are placed is very large, and it is by no means less than the campus area of a comprehensive university in later generations.
To defend such a large area of positions, not to mention a mere infantry brigade or an infantry gang, you can't even defend the entire position tightly.
Of course, because this is a mountainous area, the Black Hawk Army adapts to local conditions, mainly using points to lead the surface, and four points were established in the southeast, west and northwest. The rest of the locations were either cliffs or gullies or dense forests, but they were basically within its firepower range. Then using barbed wire, patrol teams and military dogs could basically ensure the safety of the defense zone.
There are few people, you may have the chance to get in, but there is no use for birds. Even elite troops like the Special Forces Team are not able to face thousands of Black Hawks, and they can still quietly blow up the cannons and then go there again. They are not Sun Wukong who can resist the fire of the Taishang Laojun Dan Furnace. With too many bullets, they can't avoid it either.
There are many people, and they naturally cannot get over such fortification arrangements. If you want to go through it, you can only attack the defense line with more than 1,000 defensive troops. For the Black Hawk Army, it is believed that an infantry brigade is strong enough in field battles to match a brigade of the Kingdom, especially when he is still a defensive party, with the assistance of field artillery, even if the kingdom dispatches a division, he may not be able to capture it in a short time.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other two infantry regiments are only eight kilometers away from here, and the entire army can return to the rescue in one and a half hours to capture the future troops.
In fact, Zhang Dongqun's thinking is not blind. In the future, with perfect fortifications, more than 500 people from Feng Dong's detachment blocked the attacks of thousands of Principality soldiers from day and night. In the end, although he suffered heavy casualties, he was not completely wiped out and more than 100 people ran out.
If Liu Lang had not used Zhang Ruhao to lead the Blue Army troops to open the Black Hawk Defense Zone and successfully break through in one fell swoop, even if the entire independent regiment attacked, he would have suffered a lot of casualties.
However, the current defensive forces are not the forces previously deployed by Zhang Dongqun, and there is not even half of them.
As the war progressed, the 39th Infantry Brigade's war on the front line of Guyongfeng was in a state of stagnation. The 48 cannons roared non-stop almost every day. The positions that had been raging for several days were almost gone, and the entire mountain was blown away. However, the kingdoms on the positions on the opposite mountain were like iron-clad. As long as the infantry rushed over, they would emerge from the trenches and shoot.
After repeated recurrence, although the kingdoms must have suffered heavy casualties, the two infantry corpses were also seriously injured. The 77th Infantry Regiment on the Beizhaoguan Front was dispatched by three infantry brigades, and more than 45% of the casualties were already suffered. After all, the opponent was an independent regiment led by Colonel Wild Beast, so I won’t talk about it.
But yesterday, the 78th Regiment of Gu Yongfeng's main position lost more than 700 people, accounting for 30% of the two infantry brigades. Colonel Lin Heng of the 78th Infantry Regiment quit and strongly asked the Brigade headquarters to transfer his other infantry brigade back to participate in the war.
This has been a long time since the kingdom was blocked and beaten, and he never had the courage to send troops to attack here. Zhang Dongqun finally agreed yesterday afternoon to use the cover of the night to quietly transfer the infantry brigade back to the Guyongfeng front line, but for safety, he still left an infantry squadron.
In addition to the 26th Artillery Regiment, there were 6 squads in total and 4 squads were placed on the periphery, each squad was responsible for the defense on one side. There were two squads left, one squad was responsible for the defense of the brigade headquarters and the other squad was responsible for the defense of the 26th Regiment Army.
Because it was the quietly mobilized force last night, the special combat team responsible for clearing the Black Hawk patrol along the way did not pay attention. The Black Hawk Army accidentally came with a successful "tactical deception". Unfortunately, this tactical deception did not scare people, but attracted more enemies. Otherwise, Liu Lang might not have sent a regiment, one battalion and a guard company to beat them up, which would be too despised by the Black Hawk Empire people of the two squadrons.
To put it bluntly, Major General Zhang is now in a big way that the kingdom people are coming, but he only has 400 infantry under his command. And the 26th Artillery Regiment's number 2,000 artillery, let alone. A corps is only equipped with hundreds of guns, and most of them are pistols. Is that useful?
Facing Colonel Henghui who was running over hurriedly, Zhang Dongqun, who jumped up from the camp bed, issued three military orders as fast as possible: "Report to the division headquarters that our army was attacked, ask for help from the 77th and 78th Army, and order them to draw an infantry brigade to return to the brigade headquarters and order two infantry brigade to reinforce the peripheral troops. All artillery soldiers who could not fire artillery and fire were reorganized into infantry squads to reinforce the periphery, and the remaining artillery soldiers were ready to retreat and retreat to the direction of Beizhaoguan. If there is no way to drag the cannons away, they will be blown up immediately when the war is unfavorable. They must not be left to the kingdom people. The personnel of the brigade headquarters and the 26th Army are ready to evacuate at any time."
Although he was a big shot, as an infantry major general, Zhang Dongqun had maintained enough calmness, sought help, arranged defenses, and even thought of the worst outcome.
However, he still didn't expect that the kingdom was much stronger than he thought, and the time to break through the defensive positions was much faster than he did.
Almost as soon as the messenger left, news came that the kingdom people in front of him had broken the position.
