Chapter 352(1/2)
The old monkey is not afraid of taking a back road. There is an infantry fighting vehicle just beside the forest.
The guerrillas are very good, but they can't deal with infantry fighting vehicles. Even the Polish regular army, and even their backstage bosses, the Germans, don't have many ways to deal with infantry fighting vehicles.
Their best solution is nothing more than landmines.
"Go back along the original path, and be careful where you step. You guys, call the mastiff back." The old monkey glanced around, and it was very quiet nearby.
Years of licking blood from a knife's edge made the old monkey smell danger.
Just after walking about a hundred meters, the old monkey immediately called to the leading soldiers in front to stop, and the entire team also stopped in place.
The old monkey listened carefully to the sound of the gunfire, and a sinister smile slowly appeared on his lips.
It's firecrackers!
It is impossible for a machine gun to play this way. Even if the supply of bullets is sufficient, the barrel of the gun cannot withstand it.
As far as the supplies for the guerrillas are concerned, they cannot come out carrying three gun barrels like the Ming army.
The sound of firecrackers mixed with the sound of single-shot rifles, this is all the battle ahead.
The old monkey could even guess that the guerrillas only sent a few people to set off firecrackers, which attracted all the firepower of Gerasimov's idiots.
Now the intention of the guerrillas is obvious, either they want to use up Gerasimov's ammunition and then kill these idiots.
Or they could intercept and kill him on his way back. According to Old Monkey's judgment, the latter is more likely.
Kill yourself! Haha...! It seems that his teeth are very hard, so he is not afraid of breaking all the teeth in his mouth.
Thinking to himself, the old monkey hid behind a big tree and watched carefully.
Either there was no one ahead, or these people were so well-trained that they didn't even notice any traces of themselves.
What it is exactly will be known after two explosions.
"Grenade! At six o'clock, fire three volleys." The old monkey chose a direction at random. Since he wanted to ambush himself, he must surround him and attack.
This raises another question: There were so many Polish guerrillas, and they actually dared to attack a company of 100 people from the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that yesterday's attack was completely a trap.
Even in this way, they were able to kill a platoon of the Russian army, which shows how poor the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is. They still have the nerve to call themselves a fighting race.
Because the Mongolian regiment is a cannon fodder regiment, its firepower is still good. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not short of such equipment.
Each infantry squad has a grenade launcher, and the entire company has nine grenade launchers.
If this thing fires a salvo from a distance of about 200 meters, the power is still considerable.
What's more, it was a three-shot salvo!
The old monkey is not worried about the ammunition problem, because in addition to firing artillery shells, the grenade can also fire Ming army standard grenades.
Following the sound of the grenade launcher "Tongtong...!", a dense explosion occurred about 150 meters ahead.
What a damn good luck, the old monkey couldn't help but muttered.
You can clearly see without a telescope that a person was blown up by the blast of air.
After the explosion, a severed arm hung high on a tree branch. It showed that there was an ambush here!
What's more, the mortar platoon immediately set up its mortars and prepared shells to greet them.
"Pa bang bang...!" This is how it is on the battlefield. The sound of gunfire is an order, not to mention that the ambush position has been bombed.
I don’t know who saw the first shot, but there was an endless stream of gunshots, making a ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound.
There was no lake on the Ming army's side, and the soldiers who were well prepared to fight back immediately.
The mortars did not fire, they were waiting for the enemy's machine guns to be exposed.
Obviously, the tactical level of the guerrillas was not as good as theirs. The machine gunner was not from the regular army at all. This guy held a machine gun and fired wildly.
The sound of a burst shot is very different from the sound of a single shot rifle!
The mortars of the mortar platoon would not miss such an opportunity. After determining the approximate position of the machine gun, the three mortars immediately fired at it.
The poor machine gunner was still changing his magazine after finishing the shot. The exploding mortar even tore them into pieces with the machine gun.
The old monkey listened carefully to the gunfire and observed the guerrillas on the opposite side.
Apart from the sound of machine guns, the only sound left was the sound of rifle fire. And judging from the sound of gunfire, the opponent must have more than a hundred people.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people on the other side.
"Boom!" As he was observing, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from a place more than thirty meters away.
A Ming army soldier was knocked directly to the ground by a cannonball, and his life or death was unknown.
"Fuck, mortar!" the old monkey cursed, turned to the mortar platoon leader and shouted: "Find the opponent's gun emplacement and knock it out!"
When the mortar is fired, the muzzle smoke is not loud and the sound is not very loud either.
More importantly, there is basically no fire at the muzzle.
It is definitely difficult to find such a gun position in a dense forest.
The artillery platoon leader was still confused, but the old monkey had already found the local artillery position.
Very simply, mortar shells also shoot in a curve. After being fired in a dense forest, the wake of the shell will disturb nearby trees.
In other words, if you see a tree branch falling down somewhere or the tree shaking violently in that place, that place is almost a mortar position.
Relatively speaking, the curve of the bullet is very small, no different from a straight line, and the trajectory cannot reach the treetops.
"Eight o'clock direction, distance... The old monkey stretched out his thumb and simply measured it. Eight hundred meters!"
The confused artillery platoon leader reacted quickly and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and fired at the place pointed out by the chief of staff.
The gunfire of the Polish guerrillas suddenly became louder, and these newly joined people did not look like guerrillas, their military qualities were more like regular troops.
These people are very skilled in tactical movements and their shooting is frighteningly accurate. The most terrible thing is that the mortars are extremely accurate.
They are not guerrillas, they are regular troops. Old Monkey felt this keenly. A war between regular troops and guerrillas is definitely two different things.
We can't wait any longer, or we'll die if we wait any longer!
Seeing the intensive gunshots, the old monkey took out a signal flare and fired it into the sky immediately.
A meteor-like flare rose into the sky. The scarlet flare brightened the morning star, becoming the brightest thing in the sky before the sun came up.
The Ming army fought hard in the encirclement, but more and more Polish guerrillas surrounded and attacked them.
Finally, I heard gunshots, and there were even hundreds of people. Of course, there were also tricks of using firecrackers to pretend to be machine guns.
However, the recruits of the Mongolian regiment are used to hearing the sound of firecrackers these days. They are very familiar with this sound. It is too difficult to deceive them with these things!
Mortars no longer fire, and ammunition is really limited. Only machine guns, mortars, or grenade launchers can be left.
Among these things, grenade launchers are actually the most difficult to deal with.
After all, this thing can be moved to another place with one shot. It has high maneuverability, but it also happens to be quite powerful.
Aiming at the position of the machine gun can destroy the machine gun with one shot.
As a result, the Ming army's machine gunners could only constantly change positions and were unable to provide continuous fire support.
This made the Ming army very uncomfortable. After all, the Ming army had always been known for its fierce artillery fire.
Now that there is no artillery support, the general Ming army cannot survive such a bad battle without any advantage.
After the signal bombs were fired, two hours later, the sun was already rising. The Ming army in the encirclement suffered more than 30% casualties, and reinforcements had not arrived yet.
Gerasimov was so stupid that he took dozens of people and was seduced by more than a dozen people to go in another direction.
I don't know if he is greedy for life or afraid of death, or if he is really stupid.
There were only a dozen or so Russian troops standing guard outside the forest. They did not dare to come out to support when they heard the loud gunshots inside. They only dared to guard the Ming army's infantry tanks and wait outside the forest.
According to Tumenowski, their mission was to prevent Polish guerrillas from escaping out of the dense forest.
This is an unreliable statement. Everyone knows that this guy is worried about his own life.
The strange thing is that the Ming army's infantry tanks don't seem to be worried either.
But there really wasn't much they could do. They couldn't just drive their infantry tanks into the woods and force their way through the woods.
"Chief of Staff, when will the reinforcements arrive? Our casualties are increasing, and the machine gunners of several squads have been replaced by third ones.
Their grenade launchers are always staring at our machine guns. Those things are highly concealed and are really fucking annoying."
The company commander was a little anxious, the casualties had exceeded 30%.
But the legendary reinforcements still haven’t arrived!
As soon as the company commander finished speaking, he heard a huge roar in the sky.
This is the sound of an airship. Although it has been improved, the sound of the engine is still deafening.
Through the gaps in the forest, you can see the huge figure of the airship in the sky.
In the eyes of the Poles, it is huge, but in the eyes of the old monkey, it is far from enough.
In the Ming Dynasty, these were at best small airships.
