Chapter 39 Firepower
In fact, with the force alone, Yuki Otsu really looked up to the landing troops. The defenders in the front position actually had only two platoons of troops, less than 60 people. However, at this time, the ambushing coalition team had returned to the position, and commander Qiu Yahui also appointed Luo Yue to be responsible for the on-site commander of the front position, while Qiu Yahui himself looked down at the entire battlefield through unmanned reconnaissance helicopters in the rear command center to monitor the dynamics of the coalition.
Although I have learned that the coalition forces have more than a thousand men, Qiu Yahui is not very worried, because the landing troops have the advantage of generational differences and have also arranged positions. However, the more than a dozen artillery carried by the coalition this time, because they have five medium-large caliber artillery artillery artillery artillery, this is the biggest threat to the landing troops. Therefore, Qiu Yahui's main job in the rear is to closely monitor the artillery movements of the coalition forces. Once the coalition forces begin to arrange artillery positions, Qiu Yahui will immediately order the mortars to attack, take the initiative first, knock down the artillery of the coalition forces, and eliminate the threat of the coalition forces to the landing troops.
At this time, of course, the Eight-Nation Alliance had not realized that just on its head, there were eyes staring at its every move. If you listen carefully, you could still hear the "wow" sound. However, now all the attention of the coalition forces is on the Russian army that has launched an attack, and no one is crying at their heads. In fact, even if someone looked up at this time, he saw the unmanned reconnaissance helicopter hovering in the sky, because in this era, not only no one had seen a drone, but he probably hadn't even heard it. Moreover, the unmanned reconnaissance helicopter was not large at first, and the flight altitude was about 1,500 meters. From the ground, he could only see one.
Mozgov mobilized more than 270 Russian troops to launch an attack on the landing troops' positions, which was almost the largest force that the Russian army could deploy. Mozgov obviously planned to make contributions to the battle and invest the troops in one fell swoop to break through the enemy's positions. Of course, in Mozgov's view, breaking through the enemy's territory is not a difficult task, and there is no need for artillery support at all. Yuki Otsu proposed to support with artillery himself, but he just wanted to give a contribution from the Russian army. Of course, this glory cannot be given to the Japanese who are also yellow-skinned monkeys.
The Russian soldiers walked out of the coalition's array and lined up into four or five horizontal columns, holding rifles, and advancing towards the opponent's position.
At this time, the positions of the two sides were less than three thousand meters apart, and even without a telescope, they could see clearly. Therefore, Luo Yue immediately ordered that the troops prepare for battle. In fact, if he didn't need him, the soldiers had already prepared everything, just waiting for the coalition forces to enter their range.
The first squad leader Liu Tie lay on Luo Yue's left and said, "Platform Commander, this imperialism is too crazy. He doesn't even need to cover the early firepower. He just sent troops to rush up, and they were also lined up. Isn't this a living target for us?"
Although such position trench combat mode has almost disappeared in modern warfare, the basic combat model does not seem to have changed much. Generally, long-range strike weapons will be used to clean the enemy's positions or defense lines before dispatching ground troops to attack. However, in this era, artillery is used, and in modern warfare, aircraft or missiles are used.
Luo Yue said: "Don't care about so many of them? Now Company Commander Qiu is staring at their artillery behind us, so we just need to deal with the enemy in front of us. However, I didn't expect that the first time I encountered the Russian army, and I really have a destiny to be with them."
Liu Tiedao: "Mao Ji is worthy of the 'fighting nation'. He is indeed ready to die and does not even need to fight on the scattered line."
Luo Yue said: "What kind of scattered battles are there? They have to wait until World War II. From now until World War I, they are still in line-based queues, that is, they are shot in line. Do you still remember yesterday's battle? Didn't the Russian army line up in several rows and attack side by side." He turned around and looked at Liu Qinglin, the first platoon leader of the second company on his right, and said: "Plane Commander Liu, don't worry, the Russian army will have to walk for a while before entering our range."
Luo Yue led a row of battles with terrorists during the evacuation mission, and he fought with the Russian army yesterday. Although the scale of the battle was not large, he had some practical experience. Therefore, before today's battle began, he could still laugh easily, while the soldiers in the second company and row seemed a little nervous. Many soldiers held the rifles in their hands tightly, and their joints were so tight that they turned white. Although the platoon leader Liu Qinglin tried his best to keep calm, their breathing was a little rapid.
Fortunately, Luo Yue mixed the warriors of two platoons, and the relaxed mentality of the warriors in one row after another can still play a certain stable role in other warriors.
Liu Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief, then relaxed the handle of the gun tightly held, and said, "Damn, why did Mao Ji walk so slowly? Haven't entered the range yet?"
Liu Tiedao: "Planer Commander Liu, do you think Mao Jie is in a hurry to reincarnate. Even if he charges, he will run at full speed until he enters the last few hundred meters. If he starts at such a long distance, he will be exhausted before he can reach the position."
In fact, Liu Qinglin knows all these principles, but it was his first time in actual combat, so he was inevitably nervous and impatient. Of course, this is also the common reaction of all the recruits who have been in the battle for the first time.
However, the distance of three thousand meters was not very long. The Russian army quickly advanced to a position about five or six hundred meters away from the position. At this time, the Russian soldiers advanced and raised their guns to shoot to suppress the enemy's firepower.
Suddenly, gunfires burst into flames, and bullets were shot in rows of scattered trenches and bunkers. Fortunately, the trenches and bunkers of the landing troops were well built, and the soldiers were well covered. The Russian army was actually shooting aimlessly, so no casualties were caused.
At this moment, Luo Yue heard Qiu Yahui's voice coming from his headphones: "Platform Leader Luo, the Russian army has entered the range and can open fire."
It turned out that the unmanned reconnaissance helicopter was shooting from the air, so the distance between the Russian army and the position could be calculated very clearly, and Luo Yue could get confirmation from the command center in time.
So Luo Yue immediately ordered: Open fire.
"TuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTu
Originally, there were twelve Type 95 squad machine guns in the two platoons, but in general, the machine guns were divided into two batches of shooting, because the barrel of Type 95 squad machine guns could not withstand long-term shooting and needed cooling time. In addition, Type 95 squad machine guns were supplied with drums, and each drum could only be loaded with 75 rounds, which could be completed soon and the drums needed to be replaced. Therefore, in order to maintain continuous strikes and avoid the formation of a firepower gap, when there are enough machine guns, they will take turns to shoot.
However, within a battlefield range of about 100 meters, six machine guns fired together, and their power was also extraordinary. You should know that there are only eight Maxim machine guns in the coalition.
The bullet power and range of the Type 95 squad machine gun are not as good as that of the Maxim machine gun, but the rate of fire is almost the same, and the stability is far above the Maxim machine gun. Therefore, although there are only two platoons of troops, they can defend a position with a defensive surface of about 100 meters.
Under the dense attack of solitary bullets, the Russian soldiers in the first row fell to the ground one after another. In a blink of an eye, dozens of Russian soldiers were shot, injured or killed. Although the Russian soldiers in the back row quickly filled up, other soldiers in the positions also opened fire. Although they all used single shots, more than 30 rifles were added at once. The firepower was already very dense. The gunshots sounded like a burst of beans, and the bullets shot towards the Russian army like dense rain.
This was the first time that the Russian soldiers had seen such fierce and dense firepower, and countless casualties were killed and injured. The flexible Russian soldiers had already lie on the ground or looked for cover to hide. The Russian soldiers who could not turn their heads for a while were still foolishly holding guns and continuing to move forward. As a result, they were naturally frustrated. Even if they could escape by chance, the landing troops' firepower was continuous and it was impossible to escape.
As the landing troops started shooting, they immediately overwhelmed the attack of the Russian soldiers. In just four or five minutes, they suppressed the Russian army so much that they could hardly raise their heads. They could only lie on the ground or hide behind stones and trees. Only a few Russian soldiers had the opportunity to shoot and fight back, but the gunshots were almost gone and could not be compared with the firepower of the landing troops. Some Russian troops wanted to advance again, but they would be hit hard as soon as they were exposed. As a result, they could only hide honestly.
However, there were two snipers in the landing troops' positions. The stalemate was when they showed their skills. As long as the Russian soldiers showed up, they would be hit, let alone those Russian soldiers lying on the ground. Therefore, the Russian troops were constantly hit.
The commanders of various countries of the coalition forces watching the battle were all looking at each other because no one expected that the enemy would have such powerful firepower. They were all people who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Just hearing the density of the gunshots would never be only one or two hundred, at least four or five hundred, and there might be more. The number of machine guns should be six or seven, even more. Is it difficult to hide a Qing ** team with strong firepower near Dagukou? Or is this really the Qing army?
At the same time, many people were secretly glad that fortunately, the Russians took the initiative to stand up and tried out the strength of the other party. If it were their own army, this time the attack would suffer heavy losses.
