Chapter 271 The Doomsday of the 4th Brigade (14)
The defense behind the artillery brigade's position collapsed, but the frontal position confronting the three battalions of the 29th Army was very lively.
The position chosen by Xie Weizheng was actually a relatively open land, to be precise, a valley. According to common sense, it is best to defend it by the mountain, but 24 cannons are not so easy to move up the mountain. Xie Weizheng, who did not want to lose his artillery corps honor, could only defend this open land.
The positions of the three battalions of the 29th Army were completely arc-shaped, with one battalion deployed on the front, and the two battalions were located on the flanks. The positions spread out on the front were 800 meters, completely blocking the two artillery brigades in front.
Not to mention that the Black Hawks Artillery Brigade is short of troops at this moment and can only stand on defense. Even if their No. 2000 troops are all elite infantry, it is not so easy to break through this line of defense.
The three camps were fully fired for three or four minutes, and all the troops defending this side of the Black Hawk Army also entered the trenches. After a long frustration, the Black Hawk Army gathered all the grenades and tried to teach the kingdom firepower point that dared to fire unscrupulously, but they were even more frustrated to find that the crazy kingdom people had actually calmed down.
Moreover, he was too calm and all the firepower points were stopped, just like bullets were exhausted.
However, no one regards the kingdom as a fool at this moment. The two armies are facing each other. You tell me that thousands of people were excited and shot all the bullets? Are you foolish about me, the Black Hawk Empire Army?
Since the kingdoms stopped fighting, let's fight. The frustrated Black Hawk Empire infantry will join forces with more than 500 artillery soldiers who have reinforced them to fire at the Kingdom Army positions under the light of the flares.
Sure enough, the firepower point of the Kingdom Army, which was unwilling to be suppressed, began to speak again. However, this time it was not like the previous unscrupulous strafing, but shot for half a minute and one minute at the Black Hawk Army's grenade launcher and fired two shots and stopped shooting.
It seemed that their existence was just telling the other side that my brother was still there, so don’t come over, the two brothers were playing together.
"Bastard, kingdom, great cunning." Captain You Xingzao, the commander of the Black Hawks, angrily threw his helmet to the ground.
The enemy had no intention of rushing up, but he firmly restrained his 700 people and could not move here, which gave him an extremely bad premonition.
Are they very confident in the attacking troops behind the position? I am sure that they can rush into the position? This is impossible. Although Captain Tian Shuo is very young, his talent is always admired. The 1st Infantry Squadron is also the most elite infantry squadron of the entire 8th Artillery Regiment. With more than 500 artillery soldiers, the defense line he built is not as solid as a rock. No matter how many enemy soldiers there are, it is still okay to resist until dawn.
The kingdoms who lack heavy weapons can only rely on the number of soldiers to attack. This is the deepest impression of the kingdom army. He still thinks so.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Tian Shuo, who had high hopes, had no chance to lead his soldiers to organize any defenses. The Blackhawk Empire Army Captain, who was brave enough to take responsibility, was killed instantly by the best soldier of the kingdom of this era in just one encounter.
The so-called elite 1st infantry squadron did not face the ordinary kingdom army, but a Liu Lang Independence Regiment equipped with a firepower MG42 heavy machine gun far exceeding this era. In ten minutes, a total of 18 "chainsaws" poured out as much as 20,000 bullets, shooting countless Black Hawk Empire infantrymen who dared to shoot against the independent regiment on the land in the north of the kingdom.
That's right, the order Tang Yongming received was to use all means to restrain his opponent. The three battalions he led did not need to launch an attack, but just waited for the independent regiment to break through the enemy's position from behind, and finally worked together to completely annihilate the Black Hawk Army opposite him.
Therefore, Tang Yongming, since the signal flare rose, ordered all his troops to fire at any cost, in order to attract more enemies to reduce the burden on the independent regiment. As a deputy lieutenant colonel regiment who had fought several battles with the Black Hawk Army, Tang Yongming deeply knew the tenacity of the Black Hawk Army. If he wanted to break through the defense line of hundreds of Black Hawk Army, he needed not only courage, but also greater casualties.
However, he also understood that if Liu Lang's plan was successful, as long as the two artillery brigades were solved, the 4th Brigade several miles away on the other side would become a turtle in a jar. Without the support of the cannon, it would not be difficult to deal with them.
However, to hurry up, all battles must be rushed before the arrival of Black Hawk reinforcements.
Can Liu Lang and his independent regiment break through the Black Hawk Army's position in a short period of time? Tang Yongming was not sure. But this did not hinder his respect for Liu Lang. Any kingdom soldier who made such a combat plan that could wipe out the Black Hawk Army Corps deserves respect.
Moreover, it seems that success is right in front of you.
The Black Hawk Army Artillery Brigade's gunfire sound naturally alarmed the main position of the 4th Brigade several miles away.
Yang Huan, who had not been sleeping all night, looked at the red sky reflected by artillery fire several miles away, and his face was gray. Things finally developed like the worst direction. The enemy did not attack the main position of the 4th Brigade, but instead targeted two artillery brigades. Did the kingdomites really have the idea of reuniting the 4th Brigade and annihilated it?
If anyone dared to say this in front of Yang Huan, who had more than 7,000 elite imperial army dozens of cannons, would be laughed at by the entire army until death. Even if all the 60,000 kingdom troops that blocked the progress of the imperial army in Qingzhangpo came, so what? If it weren't for their defensive advantage, in the field, the 4th Brigade could drive them like rabbits discovered by hunting dogs.
However, now, this idea actually appeared in Yang Huan's mind. It didn't feel ridiculous. Instead, when Yang Huan thought of this, he felt a completely harsh chill, just like standing naked in the cold night in the north of the kingdom, icy and irritating.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents below!" Order Xie Weizheng to report on the battle situation, and at the same time, order the Seventh Infantry Squadron to move towards the artillery brigade to wait for an opportunity to attack the Kingdom army. "Still your mind and calm your mind, Yang Huan quickly ordered." Also, order Xie Weizheng to blow up the cannon now, immediately, immediately." As if he had thought of something, Yang Huan gave another order with a very fast speed.
Feng Jingyu took the order and left.
Yang Huan could only stare at the battlefield that was full of money in the distance. Sending an infantry squadron was his limit. He did not dare to send more troops. If the 4th Brigade, which had lost most of its heavy equipment, lost its fortifications again, if the Kingdom Army was ambushed in that terrible darkness, the tragic consequences would definitely not be able to bear.
Sure enough, Yang Huan's guess was correct.
The Seventh Infantry Squadron, who walked out of the position less than two miles, encountered an ambush by the Kingdom Army. Not only the enemy's terrible machine guns, but the infantry squadron, which had already raised its vigilance, also stepped into a terrible minefield.
The mines that can explode the tank territory have become a nightmare for the Black Hawk Army. A landmine exploded, taking away the lives of four or five people. In desperation, the Black Hawk Army that fell to the ground was also attacked by grenades thrown from all directions. In the dark night, you can't tell how many enemies are attacking you.
The brave Seventh Infantry Squadron finally successfully retreated, there were definitely less than 60 people.
In fact, the ambushed them was just a machine gun platoon led by Niu Er and an engineer platoon directly under the independent regiment headquarters. Under Niu Er, who was familiar with the terrain, the engineer platoon buried nearly ten large landmines on the road that the Black Hawk Army must pass.
Their purpose was not to annihilate the Black Hawk reinforcements, but to scare them back and let them stay honestly in the position. That's all.
If Yang Huan had more courage and sent out a Black Hawk Army brigade, he would probably have to swell the stomach of the Independent Corps.
Unfortunately, Yang Huan, who was beaten out during the day, didn’t have the courage to do so.
