Chapter 1390 The power of missing calculations
The Black Hawk Army received reliable information that only one kingdom infantry company left for Mashou Castle, which was not subject to military orders, would never exceed 140 people.
There are 140 infantry companies? Joke, Li Cong has every reason to believe that one of his infantry corps fought in Haicheng for more than 20 days, and not counting the painful battle in Mashoubao, they suffered more than 1,000 losses. As the defense party's kingdom army was at a disadvantage in both artillery and air control. How could they not suffer any greater losses?
The intelligence personnel lurking in the territory last night had discovered that the real force of the Kingdom Guards in Mashou Castle should be an infantry battalion, but there were no more than 300 people coming to the territory. From this, it was judged that the Kingdom Guards who were still stubbornly sticking to Mashou Castle would never have more than 120 people.
At most, there will be three unsatisfied infantry platoons, and a large number of people will be assigned to operate machine guns, light and heavy machine guns and even mortars. There will be no more than 60 infantrymen who can participate in the battle, as long as the kingdom still wants to maintain enough heavy firepower.
The so-called heavy firepower of the kingdom people was all controlled by ordinary infantrymen. Do they have that ability? Li Cong was very confident in the morning's strong attack.
I have to say that Li Cong is an old corpse and he made no mistake in his analysis.
When allocating heavy firepower, Chen Sheng racked his brains and picked out four groups of machine gun shooters and ammunition players from the infantry of the company. He personally served as the main shooter of one of the machine guns; 24 mortars were responsible for six mortars; 6 heavy machine guns, because there were already serious shortages of personnel, only three shooters and ammunition players, a total of 18, and the number of people was as high as 58, exceeding half of the infantry of the company.
The shooters who operate the machine guns are basically the original light machine gunners. This is the first time they operate the machine guns. Whether it can still achieve the power of the machine guns when the machine guns are operated by the shooters, I can tell with my heels.
Including mortars, there are only a few people who have received mortar shooting training. Most of the main shooters and deputy shooters do not even have the experience of mortar shooting. The criteria he chooses, even with the courage as long as he does not hit the shells in his house, would be victory. After all, even in the Imperial Guard, there is no surplus shells for ordinary soldiers to train and squander.
Light and heavy machine gun shooters are simply veterans. Even if they have never fired heavy machine guns, they have to bite the bullet at this time.
This is completely a short person who draws the general from the short and takes the strength from the short.
It can be said that the heavy firepower of Mashou Castle is almost nothing but just showing off, and there is no problem in bluffing people, but if you really want to fight, the accuracy of the shooting is completely incomparable to a day ago.
However, Li Cong calculated a lot, but he only calculated Chen Yunfa's special team less.
As the second highest lieutenant in Mashou Fort, Chen Yunfa was appointed as the second commander of the second place by Chen Sheng. After discussion, the two believed that after knowing that the Black Hawk Army would definitely choose to attack after knowing that the fortress defenders had dropped sharply.
This also comes from the accurate knowledge that Chen Yunfa and the Black Hawk Army had fought many times. There were too many people and could not be defeated. That was because the kingdom soldiers were too cunning, but there were few people and they didn't even dare to fight. So how could the Black Hawk Empire Army have the face? They would definitely be so angry that they attacked again. Moreover, the main attack direction would still choose the front of the fortress.
Therefore, Chen Yunfa's seven special forces teams, except for Chen Yunfa and Zeng Shui, five others, two of them served as the main shooters of the machine guns, and three of them served as the main shooters of the mortars. These heavy firepower weapons are all compulsory events for the special forces of the Independent Regiment Special Forces Team. Their shooting experience in this area is no worse than that of an experienced veteran shooter.
In order to strengthen frontal firepower, three machine guns and four heavy machine guns were deployed to the frontal, while nine mortars were used for mobile combat. Although the firepower was far inferior to the previous day, it was still an insurmountable barrier for the Black Hawk infantry who had lost the cover of tanks.
As expected by both of them, Li Cong chose to attack at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the main attack direction was still the front, but the two wings were not feints in the traditional sense. The faces of the observation sentry were a little stiff. In his vision, the Black Hawk Army surrounding the three sides of Mashou Castle was like an ant, black.
Li Cong wanted to complete the battle of attack, and in front of tens of thousands of kingdoms gathered again, he crushed the defenders whose troops in the fortress with a sharp reduction in strength to smash the severity of thunder. He dispatched three infantry squadrons on the front, and one infantry squadron on each of the wings. In his first attack this morning, nearly 1,000 infantry were dispatched, accounting for more than half of his total strength.
The role of infantry on both wings is probably not just a feint attack to restrain them. The explosive packs on their backs have shown their attempt to break the hard walls of Mashou Castle with blasting. The front is the main attack, and the two wings are also the same.
However, this time, the Black Hawks no longer had the Type 89 medium tanks for their infantry to serve as shields. Only two 94 tanks were left to serve as arrows for the infantry to advance.
After the regular artillery raids of the Black Hawk Army, accompanied by the roar of the 94 tank engine, the offensive and defensive battle of the 1000VS120 officially started.
After the soldiers were busy moving the machine gun to the sandbag fortification on the third floor window, Chen Sheng personally sat in the shooter position and pointed the muzzle at the 94 light tank that was slightly shrunk 300 meters away and used the ruins to protect the fortress, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
There is not even a turret, but only heavy machine guns for reconnaissance, which is called Xiaodou Ding by a big guy, but he dares to appear in an offensive and defensive battle of this level. Does the Black Hawk Empire think that he is not dying fast enough? The machine guns in his hand can completely blow them out 500 meters away.
In fact, Chen Sheng really blamed the Black Hawk Army's tank players incorrectly.
As the captain of the No. 3 of the 94 Tank, Lin Sen once felt that he had reached the peak of his life. A peasant child had already felt very excited as a tank soldier! Unexpectedly, before the war, he became a sergeant-level captain. Apart from the peak of his life, there was nothing else to describe.
But the guy "Happiness" always comes so suddenly. After only less than a month of fighting, he, the sergeant, was promoted again. Although his military rank was not promoted, he unexpectedly became the person with the highest rank of the 2nd Chariot Squadron of the Division's direct chariot brigade. According to wartime regulations, he must take over the command and serve as the command of the 2nd Chariot Squadron.
Unfortunately, today's chariot squadron is no longer the chariot squadron of the past. His subordinates can command no medium tanks. Even the reconnaissance level 94 tanks have only two. This is why Sergeant Lin Sen, who was ranked as the commander of the 2nd chariot squadron, was not excited but wanted to cry without tears. Of course, if there was still a medium tank, it would not be his turn to be the commander.
But this is not the real reason why Lin Sen wants to cry. After all, no matter what, he survived this cruel and bloody battle, which is a blessing. According to the situation analysis, unless Colonel Li Cong and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han were collectively squeezed by the door, they would not easily launch a powerful attack that caused heavy casualties in the Imperial Army.
However, he underestimated the mentally destructiveness of the two commanders, and received an order from the chariot squadron to send out a full army to cover the infantry's attack early in the morning.
The whole army dispatched peat! Commander Lin Sen only wanted to spray the two goods with his face and aimed his butt at the faces of the two of them. Because not only the whole army dispatched, there were only two light tanks, and he felt that he could not control his bladder muscles and was about to pee.
The 89 medium-sized tank with more than ten millimeters of steel plates were all sieved under the terrifying machine guns of the Kingdom people. What is the use of these two 94 tanks with only seven millimeters of steel plate armor? Are they going to let the Kingdom people on the other side use to cheer and count?
He watched his comrades and colleagues in the rear beating one by one by the kingdoms, and then the hateful kingdom civilians on the other side were tying "one, two, three, four..." and he didn't want to be the number in the tsunami of the kingdom civilians.
Even if the communications soldiers of the corps headquarters had already conveyed that the strength of the kingdom's defenders on the opposite side had been greatly reduced, and the heavy firepower would be greatly weakened, and it would not relieve Lin Sen's fear at all. He knew very well that once he went to the battlefield, the chariot he was riding in would inevitably become the key target of the enemy's machine guns. It was not that he wrote the words "command car" in front of the tank car in order to show off, but, a bastard, there were only two cars in total, and they didn't even have to pick them.
Unfortunately, the military orders were difficult to violate, and no matter how unwilling it, Lin Sen could only lead the remaining two Type 94 tanks to rush to the battlefield. The army colonel may not be able to kill officers at major or above to establish his authority, but a young sergeant like him is fully qualified to kill as much as he can, as long as he dares to say "no".
Because the width of the battlefield was not enough for three infantry squadrons to be deployed at the same time, the infantry of the Black Hawk Army was divided into three waves, leading an infantry squadron at the front, followed by 80 meters behind, and followed by another wave 80 meters apart. As long as the first wave of infantry in front can attack the building, the two waves of the Black Hawk Army behind can follow up in the shortest time.
The cannons were the first to stop the artillery after the Black Hawk Army reached a distance of 300 meters, but the infantry cannons stopped the artillery until their infantry advanced to about 150 meters. That was already the limit of infantry and artillery coordination.
The light and heavy machine guns deployed on the front of the building were already firing counterattacks when the Black Hawk Army approached more than 200 meters, and the mortars had already joined the ranks of counterattacks towards the Black Hawk Army's infantry artillery. Only the machine guns were waiting, waiting for Chen Sheng to fire the first shot.
To fight, two little Doudings with 7.7mm heavy machine guns must never go back, even if they carefully use the cover of the ruins to advance. In this way, they can attack their infantry more easily. Otherwise, it would be a troublesome to let two adjustable 7.7mm heavy machine guns shoot at a distance of 200 meters.
"Battle me!" With Chen Sheng roaring, the machine cannon in his hand roared first.
The other two machine guns operated by special forces also roared and fired at the targets they were aiming.
He directly dropped Lin Sen, who had been observing carefully in front of him, and his heart fell on his face!
