Chapter 64 Position No. 1
After determining the purpose and direction of the war, the militia and relevant units began to work in a unified and secret manner. The secret gathering of troops, the accelerated production and transportation of ammunition, and the feedback of the latest intelligence of the Intelligence Department converted from the Baiyi Gang, everything was going on tense and secretly and orderly.
In the early morning of December 18, on the road from Pingguo County to Nanning, when the officers and soldiers of the first level set up by Old Man Lu were called out of the playground from the warm quilt to blow the cold wind, he kept greeting the head's immediate relatives in his heart. But when the head announced that he would surrender to the side that everyone had longed for a long time, everyone cheered. The cold weather could not extinguish them, they had long yearned for a better life there, and they all put down their guns like they had taken stimulants and hurriedly cleared the obstacles set on the road one by one, and put their own military postures to welcome future comrades and commanders.
When the first 38 trucks whizzed past one by one with dazzling headlights, they were surprised to find that the soldiers in the car were more like soldiers than them in terms of momentum, and Yishui's exquisite equipment and howitzers pulled behind the car made them feel like militia.
At 8:37, the first batch of militia 1st Battalion, the 1st Battalion of the First Division, broke into the garrison area of a garrison deployed by Old Man Lu on the road. A few minutes ago, the situation was even more chaotic by the shrill whistle. One minute later, the first batch of 75mm howitzers and 86mm mortar shells and planes whistling through the air made the situation even more chaotic.
"Go!" Nong Gen, who was already the company commander, waved his hand, and the assault company began to attack the frontal position defended by the garrison regiment. When there were still 200 meters close to the position, the machine guns on the opposite position began to roar, and the soldiers hurriedly fell to the ground to hide themselves.
"At 1 o'clock, machine gun fire cover." Nonggen hurriedly issued an order to the fire platoon around him.
"Shits..." The high-speed fire rate of the tear-type machine gun makes people unable to distinguish the individual gunshots. After several years of improvement and actual combat tests, the tear-type machine gun is unanimously loved by the soldiers. The super high firing rate, accurate hit rate, and the right sound all make the soldiers praise him. Although each soldier has to carry a bullet link to ensure its fire sustainability, with it roaring around him, whether it is offense or defense, it is a nightmare for bandits and horse bandits.
The rapid fire of the machine gun suddenly suppressed the firepower on the opponent's position. Due to the tearing high-speed fire, it was a behavior of seeking death with his attack. After several years of training, the machine gun shooters have mastered the performance of this machine gun. With a light hit, at least 5 or 6 bullets flew out. The tearing accuracy is higher than that of the Maxim machine gun. Usually, it is not just one shot, but two or three shots hit. One bullet can make a big hole in the human body. The hit of two or three shots basically directly declares the death of the person.
Successfully suppressed the opponent's firepower, the assault company rushed to the front position again, but just less than 50 meters away from the position, a hidden firepower point began to spit bullets at the soldiers, and the soldiers rushing in front were swept down at once.
Due to the shooting angle issue, the machine gun needs to change its shooting position to suppress the firepower point, which can waste every second on the battlefield and waste the blood and life of the soldiers.
"Black grasshopper, blow it off for me!" Nonggen shouted at an officer not far ahead.
Before Nonggen could finish his words, two 38mm grenades shot into the small shooting port of the fire point. The high power of the plasticized rubber-based zha medicine suddenly knocked the fire point into the sky. Half of the barrel even injured an unlucky soldier 60 meters behind from the air.
"Dog Bean Root, don't think that your official position is better than me, it proves that your mind is better than me. I'm 2 points more than you in the exam in school!" The person who was called a black grasshopper by Root just now turned around and shouted at Root with anger.
"Let's settle the score with you again and fight!" Nonggen did not continue to fight with the black grasshopper, and each led the troops to continue to advance.
When it advanced to the barbed wire fence 50 meters away from the position, two soldiers from the fire platoon brought up 30 mm thick and 80 cm long tube objects. This was a blasting tube copied by Duan Guoxue from later generations. It was the best to use this to remove the headache-inducing barbed wire fence.
As the blasting tubes were connected one by one were placed under the barbed wire, a roar was ripped open by the blasting tube.
If you want to say that the fortifications made by Old Man Lu were learned from the European battlefield in World War I. The deep trenches and several shooting ports, and the sufficient force, would be the nightmare of infantry. Unfortunately, Old Man Lu didn't understand it, but couldn't use it, that was Dong Shi and Xi Shi - inappropriate.
Europe uses this kind of trench based on the fact that there is enough firepower for heavy machine guns, but if a battalion in China may not be able to get a machine gun, this kind of trench warfare is seeking death in front of militias with more fierce firepower than the Maximian type and short-range direct grenade guns.
Entering the enemy's defense position, the soldiers advanced in depth along the fortifications. The 7-round loaded No. 12 large-caliber shotgun in this short-term battlefield felt like fish in water. Conceptually aiming at a gun would hit a large area, and the enemy soldiers were hard to hide. The battle in the trenches ended soon. When they entered the barracks, the battle was a bit difficult. Because the barracks were built on rocks and were scattered sparsely on the back of the mountain, the 75mm howitzers could not be shot. The 60 mortars were low and the special terrain reduced the power a lot. Usually, they could only kill one or two enemies at one shot. Moreover, the enemy's troops had been in chaos for so long, and they could start to piece together some counterattacks.
"Brothers! The cannons of the bandits are useless, everyone cheer up! Hold on! When Chief Lu sends people to reinforce and eliminate the bandits in front, I will invite you to drink and send out the opium!" A commander shouted and encouraged his soldiers. Stimulated by the opium and reward, the morale of the enemy's disappearance suddenly recovered a lot, and some people even hid in the bunker and began to swear.
"The bandits on the opposite side! You are bandits or bandits. TMD knows to launch a sneak attack. If you have the ability to fight your uncle, I will fight head-on! I will let you do one hand, why? Don't you dare to come out? You..." It was still the same officer, and when he saw that his words brought some morale to his subordinates, he felt more confident. He half-touched his head and teased and shouted, but before his call ended, there was a loud noise, "Boom!!", and a 15-mm anti-equipment sniper rifle bullet penetrated the stone in front of him half and his head and knocked it away.
During the years of bandit suppression, the soldiers accumulated a set of experience in small-scale combat, especially in this complex terrain and the enemy's mixed combat tactics, machine guns are not very useful in this place, usually only cover firepower behind them, and more often use 38mm grenade guns and large-caliber sniper rifles to complete the cleaning mission. When encountering enemies hidden by the terrain, grenade guns, which are more flexible than mortars, play an incomparable role here. Direct shooting can be shot into windows, curved shooting can also eliminate enemies hiding behind solid covers, and large-caliber anti-equipment sniper rifles can even smash those hiding behind semi-hard covers without mercy.
The soldiers scattered and advanced in groups of three or three. When they encountered an enemy that was difficult to deal with the grenades, they asked the grenade guns to clear them at a fixed point. As the explosions sounded, the resistance of the enemy troops on the opposite side became increasingly sparse. Finally, some people could not withstand the nerve pressure of being passively beaten. They took out the white cloth that they found from somewhere, and waved desperately while shouting for surrender.
The soldiers asked the surrendered enemy to leave their weapons and leave the bunker, and stood in a clear place with both hands raised, watching with machine guns, while the soldiers continued to search for positions. This was the experience gained from the lessons of blood. Many bandits and horse bandits would pretend to be dead and wait for the soldiers to come out before launching sneak attacks.
With the safety reports, Nonggen finally shouted out a signal of position safety, and the soldiers could finally start to confiscate the spoils.
"Move faster, don't worry too much about these small things, there is still a big battle to fight later." Nonggen asked the correspondent to report the situation of the war to the command post and kindly reminded his soldiers.
All seizures must be handed over. This is an iron discipline that Duan Guoxue copied from the Invincible Army in later generations. Although this is because the materials that the Invincible Army could obtain were too scarce at that time, so this regulation was made. The logistics of the militia's corps were many times better than that of the Invincible Army. However, Duan Guoxue was written in the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. However, what is more humane is that for some memorials that are not necessary for war, such as pocket watches and wine pots, which are not necessary for wars, as long as the soldiers like it, they will usually be sent back to the seized soldiers as rewards after being handed over. At the same time, registration is also a statistics of the soldiers' military merits.
"It's fast enough to win the No. 1 target position in 78 minutes." Looking at the "Osmanthus" brand watch produced by Xingmin Precision Instrument Factory on his wrist, Gan Fulin smiled.
"Tell the troops behind to move faster, if they are late, they will be fine." After that, Gan Fulin got on a four-wheel off-road jeep and ran forward.
