Chapter VI Ambush Plan
"Report to the platoon leader. According to our reconnaissance, the army that swept the village should be Tsarist Russian troops, with a population of about 70 to 80. The weapons are mainly rifles, and no heavy weapons were found."
Luo Yue nodded and said to the three squad leaders of Wang Tie, Li Lixin, and Zhang Zhengjie, who were in the platoon, "If there are only seventy or eighty people, we should be able to deal with it. We will immediately inform the Yueyang ship that all squads must be prepared for combat. Once the command commands order, we will act immediately."
Although there were no professional scouts in the platoon led by Luo Yue, the basic reconnaissance mission could still be completed. Therefore, after getting ashore, Luo Yue sent three soldiers to sneak into the vicinity of the village to detect the identity, number of people and weapons of the enemy. The others gathered at the site where they went ashore to listen to the He brothers' speeches, the geography and layout of the village, and prepare for possible battles.
Although the reconnaissance result is about 70 to 80 Russian troops, almost three times that of the entire platoon, if it is in modern society, without other support, even against enemies with backward weapons, this battle is basically not fought, because in modern society, even if it is an informal army, the AK47 assault rifle can be basically popularized. Although there are generation differences with the main assault rifles of other countries, such as the M16 assault rifle series, the Famas assault rifle series, the Aug assault rifle series, and the QBZ-95 assault rifle series, it is still a confrontation. Compared with the infantry weapons of this era, it is a different era, so Luo Yue believes that this battle can still be fought.
The weapon configuration of a land combat platoon is that the weapons configurations of squad 1 and squad 2 are the same. The whole class is divided into two machine gun groups and a bazooka group. Each group has three people, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader each have a machine gun team, and each is equipped with one machine gunner and one machine gun deputy. The squad leader and the deputy squad leader are equipped with a qbz-95 assault rifle, and an external gun grenade launcher, with 4-6 grenades. The machine gunner is equipped with a qbz-95 squad machine gun, and the machine gun deputy is equipped with a qbz-95 assault rifle, and no external gun grenade launcher; the bazooka group is equipped with a bazooka leader, equipped with a 69-1 type 40 bazooka, and two bazooka deputy, equipped with a qbz-95 assault rifle, and no external gun grenade launcher.
The third squad also has two machine gun teams, with the personnel and weapons configurations the same as those of the first and second squads, but the other group is a sniper team, equipped with one sniper, equipped with a qbu88 5.8mm sniper rifle, two sniper deputy, equipped with a qbz-95 assault rifle, and no external gun grenade launcher.
The platoon was equipped with 28 people, a total of 19 qbz-95 assault rifles, seven external grenade launchers, six qbb-95 machine guns, two 40 rockets, and one qbu88 sniper rifle, which was enough to fight against light armored targets. In this era, it was definitely extremely terrifying firepower within a distance of 500 meters.
Just as the soldiers who were responsible for communication issued a notice to the Yueyang ship, Luo Yue and the three squad leaders discussed tactical arrangements for dealing with the Russian army. Although they have not received any notice from the headquarters, it is necessary to prepare first. Of course, Luo Yue will not wait for the headquarters to make plans before making plans.
Liu Tie, the first squad leader, said first: "Platform Commander, I just calculated that if it is 1900, then we basically use bolt-pull-type rifles, with the fastest firing rate of about fifteen rounds per minute, only about one-seventh of ours. In addition, the Russian army does not have heavy weapons, and the firepower gap between us should be between seven and ten times, which is more. Therefore, although our number is less than that of the Russian army, we can handle this Russian army."
Second squad leader Li Lixin said: "But we may suffer a little in terms of range. The effective range of the Type 95 rifle is only 400 meters, and as far as I know, the range of rifles in this era is basically above 500 meters."
The third squad leader Zhang Zhengjie shook his head and said, "Although the range of rifles in this era is farther, as long as it exceeds 200 meters, there is basically no accuracy. Our weapons are much better. Therefore, I think there is still a fight in this battle. Even if we can't beat the Russian army, we can still escape unscathed. And if necessary, we can also call the Yueyang ship and request the carrier-based helicopters to provide fire support."
Liu Tiedao: "I am not against fighting this battle, but saying that in this battle, we cannot fight against the other party just because our weapons are more advanced than the other party. After all, our weapons are not without weaknesses. Therefore, we should give full play to our advantages and avoid our weaknesses."
Luo Yue also nodded and said, "Old Liu is right. Don't underestimate the enemy at any time, let alone underestimate the army of this era just because we are time travelers and have advanced weapons."
At this moment, the Yueyang ship also sent a reply. The headquarters agreed to join the war with a row of people, but put forward two requirements: First, be more careful to avoid fighting with the enemy and reduce their own casualties. Once you find that the enemy is difficult to deal with, you will immediately call the Yueyang ship for carrier-based helicopter support; second, protect the safety of the villagers as much as possible, and do not pursue the complete annihilation of the Russian army. Just drive the Russian army away.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, Luo Yue quickly formulated a battle plan with the three squad leaders, and then ordered the whole class to enter the position and prepare for the battle.
The soldiers were also very excited when they heard this, because the soldiers were eager to fight. Before the time travel, because China was still in a relatively peaceful era, the army had almost no practical opportunities. For example, although the platoon of the Marine Corps was a sharp knife platoon, it has participated in many external operations in recent years, such as participating in peacekeeping and escorting in the Gulf of Aden, but there were not many opportunities to get actual combat. On the contrary, it was this time that the task of evacuating overseas Chinese was responsible and had several firefights with the terrorist, which was one of the few practical experiences.
This time, it is obvious that a real battle is going to be held, and the soldiers are full of confidence in this battle. In addition to the advantages of weapons and assembly, they are more of the psychological advantages of time travelers. After all, they all come from an era of time travel novels that are very bad.
Luo Yue called the He brothers again and said to them: "We will fight the Russian army now and rescue your village. You two will find a place to hide first, and then come out after we drive away the Russian army."
The He brothers also knew that even if they followed each other in the war, they were useless. Moreover, after getting along during this period, the two brothers felt that these people seemed very powerful, probably able to kill foreigners and save the entire village. Therefore, they all honestly found a place to hide.
The place where you landed was not far from the village. You could get there after turning a small slope. And just now, Luo Yue also asked the He brothers in detail about the situation and layout of the village, and also had some understanding of the situation.
It turned out that the size of the village was not large, with only about a hundred households, which were arranged in a east-west vertical direction. There was a highway in the middle, running through the whole village, about 800 meters. There were two rows of houses on both sides of the avenue, with a total width of about fifty meters. There were two main exits in the village, facing the sea, and it was the exit for villagers to go out to sea to fish. Originally, the He brothers planned to guide the assault boats and land at the east exit.
The west exit is the main road leading to the outside world. There are hundreds of acres of fields outside the village, and some grain crops, fruits and vegetables are planted. It turns out that although the village makes a living by fishing in the sea, it is impossible to treat fish as a staple food, and still eat some grain and vegetables. If you buy it from the market, it is obviously too cost-effective, so it is better to plant and self-sufficient. In addition, fishing is a very seasonal job. You can't go to sea for at least four or five months a year. This period of time can be used to grow crops.
Because the fields are concentrated at the west entrance of the village, there are several houses at the west entrance of the village and a small gravel yard. The main purpose of the house is to store agricultural equipment and place harvests, but they are basically adobe structures, and they are generally uninhabited, but they can be used as bunkers to build positions. In addition, there is a land hill at the west entrance of the village. As the bell tower of the whole village, although this land hill is only four or five meters high, the land hill can still be viewed on the whole village, so it is a suitable place for the arrangement of sniper positions.
In fact, Luo Yue knew very well that time traveling through novels is one thing, and the actual battlefield is another. Although his weapons are advanced and powerful, the number of people is far less than that of the Russian army, and he is not familiar with the geographical environment. There are many houses in the village and complex terrain, and it is easy to injure villagers. It is not a suitable place for combat. Therefore, Luo Yue planned to set up a burial position at the west entrance of the village, and then send a few soldiers to attack, attract the Russian army to the burial position, and then concentrate his firepower advantages to strive to annihilate the Russian army. Even if he cannot completely wipe out the Russian army, he can still disrupt the Russian army's position.
Several squad leaders had no doubt about the plan formulated by Luo Yue, so they quickly reached a unified combat idea. So Luo Yue immediately led all the soldiers of the platoon to the west entrance of the village. Sure enough, the area in this area was empty and there were not only no villagers, but also the Russian army did not place soldiers on guard here. To the east, several gunshots could be heard from time to time, and there were also Russian sounds of tongue-flapping. The soldiers who were reconnaissance just now judged from the sound that the Russian army was robbing in the village.
This is probably because the Russian army is very relieved. All the soldiers went into the village to loot, and they never expected anyone to attack. Of course, if it weren't for this escort fleet traveling to this era, there would be no army that would have attacked the Russian army. After all, according to the historical process, the Eight-Nation Alliance had already attacked Beijing at this time, and Lord Lafayette and Guangxu were running away. The local officials in the south were protecting themselves and developing mutual protection in the southeast. The entire Qing Dynasty's North China region was basically in a state of unpreparedness.
Luo Yue immediately ordered that Squad 1 and Squad 2 should arrange ambush positions on the spot, and the sniper team of Squad 3 should prepare for the sniper team immediately and lead the other two machine gun teams of Squad 3 to the village to attract Russian troops.
