Chapter 264 The Doomsday of the 4th Brigade (7)
"Staff Officer Feng, you see, if the kingdom people want to fight at night, they should wait until the time when the people are most tired in the early morning to be the best choice, or even if they want to fight now, they should wait until my fortifications have not been fully completed. But at this time they chose to confront our two infantry brigades, which is exactly where the cannons cannot hit them. What are their ideas?" Yang Huan was the brigade commander after all, and his analysis was reasonable and well-founded.
The kingdom army exudes conspiracy from the bottom of their bones, especially after being tricked by the other party's commander.
Three positions, the dozen or so small machine guns I imagined turned into dozens of heavy machine guns with an exaggerated fire rate and still unknown model, and a bunch of mortars. The firepower was stronger than that of his own brigade, and he was still hiding in a turtle shell and shooting his own soldiers. Whenever he thought of this scene, Yang Huan felt heartbroken.
In fact, although almost all heavy machine guns and nearly 5,000 soldiers were lost, the 4th Brigade, which had two artillery brigades, 24 artillery pieces, a complete infantry brigade and more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, still had the strength to compete with Liu Lang, especially when they had built basic field fortifications.
But this is what the so-called frightened bird is. Any action taken by Liu Lang's army now will make Major General Yang think about it again and again.
Although he was looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the division commander tomorrow, he might be able to take the post quickly, but Feng Jingyu also understood that he had to wait until he had spent the night safely. If the opponent's commander was bold enough, with their equipment, he would definitely attack tonight, and the artillery brigade with the weakest protection and strongest attack power would definitely be their first choice.
If there is no artillery brigade, then the end of the day will come. Not to mention the brigade commander, it is the same whether you can see tomorrow's sun alive.
The reason is very simple. The previous attack on the Imperial Army used its own lives to investigate clearly. The other party also had artillery, and there were many, not only mortars and mountain cannons. Now, the entire brigade has only 4 infantry cannons except for two artillery brigades. Even Feng Jingyu had to admit sadly that after the Imperial Army was defeated in one battle, it was not only morale but also equipment.
"Attack the support?" Feng Jingyu thought for a while and gave such an answer.
"Okay, the Chief of Staff and I think of it together." Yang Huan nodded and said, "The cunning kingdoms dare not attack our positions, and attempt to use this method to transfer our army out of the positions, and then use ambush to kill our army. We cannot be fooled by them."
"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, what should we do?"
"I ordered Xie Wei to conquer them to shrink their defense line and concentrate the cannons. All personnel took up weapons to participate in the defense. As long as they could defend until dawn tomorrow, the kingdoms would have to retreat. At the same time, they ordered them to place explosives around all cannons. If the situation was critical, they could explode the cannons. The kingdoms would never let the kingdoms threaten the main position of our brigade." Yang Huan said fiercely.
"Yes." Feng Jingyu took the order in awe.
Although Yang Huan meant to lose his car and protect his commander, from the current situation, this is the most reasonable. As long as the headquarters of the brigade is still there, the 4th brigade will have a day to make a comeback. If the artillery brigade is attacked by the Kingdom army again to rescue the artillery brigade, which is lost to the precious infantry, and the main position is broken, they will not be defeated, but the shame of the entire Black Hawk Army.
But Yang Huan and Feng Jingyu didn't know that the most correct military order that seemed to be the gecko's tail was given by them together, would be hailed as another stupid order in the history of the Black Hawk Army.
It was so stupid that General Zhang's military order that only ordered the 4th Brigade to attack the Independent Regiment alone could not match.
Because he obviously forgot that he was the general of the Fourth Brigade, not the chief officer of the artillery brigade responsible for assisting the 4th Brigade, if he telegraphed the brigade of the Eighth Artillery brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's brigade's
You know, the Black Hawk Army has extremely strict military rules, and those who lose their weapons can be shot, not to mention heavy weapons like cannons.
This happened during the war. The Duchy Army cleverly set up an ambush and took away an infantry cannon of the Black Hawk Empire Army. The Duchy Army, which seized such a huge killer weapon, was naturally ecstatic. However, the artillery squad that escaped by chance was in trouble. In order to get the infantry cannon back, these people gathered 1,000 silver coins to find the Duchy Army and wanted to buy it back. However, the Duchy Army was poor, but there were even fewer infantry cannons, so of course they would not sell it. So the twelve people in the Black Hawk Army who lost their artillery were shot collectively.
Now the commander of another unit has asked a friendly army to blow up the cannon that is related to his life. You may not? Especially when I heard that there were no reinforcements that obviously let him die, the two artillery captains did not fire a few cannons at your so-called main position on the spot, which would be worthy of people.
Obviously, even if Yang Huan thought of it, he would not do this. It was embarrassing to be beaten to the point of being embarrassed. He even asked himself to tell a colonel that he was embarrassed. Isn’t that slap himself in the face?
Of course, this is not bad. The two artillery brigades have two infantry squadrons equipped with complete personnel. The combat effectiveness is comparable to that of an ordinary regiment of the Kingdom Army. In addition, the other thousands of people in the artillery brigade, even if the guns are not accurate, the momentum is still fine. The Kingdom Army has no two regiments to attack.
But the Kingdom Army still has to defend its defensive positions. Even if there are two regiments, it is already the limit to be able to draw one regiment out to fight. To enlarge your imagination, the commander of the Kingdom Army is a madman. It would be useless to draw one and a half regiments?
Unfortunately, it was because he said that Yang Huan was stupid because he still believed in his judgment despite his failure that he had a serious lack of estimates of the military strength of the Kingdom side.
The Kingdom Army is not two regiments, but three regiments.
Moreover, Liu Lang's courage is far greater than Yang Huan imagined.
Just when Yang Huan ordered both of his positions to be held, all the soldiers of the independent regiments in the three defense areas of Anwupo had withdrawn from the positions, and all the defenses of the positions were handed over to the baggage company and 500 strong men. Only Zhou Shiyu's suicide company was still on the ancient mountain four miles away from the main position of the Black Eagle Army.
The two infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment and the guard platoon directly under the regiment headquarters were dispatched.
If Yang Huan ordered another attack on Anwupo, he would be surprised to find that the defenders' gun skills this time were far worse than before. Although the terrifying machine gun would fire again, its lethality would be far less than before.
MG42 machine gun shooters need professional training, and they cannot be operated by strong men who have shot rifles.
In other words, the defensive positions in Anwupo are actually just embroidered pillows, which are not useful. If Yang Huan attacks again, the situation may change.
Unfortunately, Yang Huan and his Black Hawk Imperial Army were scared by the afternoon battle, and staying in support was the only thing they could do.
