Chapter 480: White Waves (8)
The situation observed in his eyes was developing to the side, the speed of the transfer between the two sides was very fast, and the major did not organize good firepower on his side, and did not rely on the cooperation and proficiency of the soldiers to suppress the effect. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's as if it wasn't the major's team that was injected with stimulants, but the enemy's side.
Relying on the physical fitness and strength of ordinary people, the heavy machine gun was used flexibly and fiercely in the hands of the enemy. The temperature is cold, and there is no need to think about the overheating of the barrel on either side, just the shooter aims at the target and then presses the trigger. But ordinary soldiers suffer in this regard. The recoil was much offset by the structural design of the gun, but the paralyzing sensation accumulated from long-term shooting still affected the accuracy and the firepower of the heavy machine gun.
And in the eyes of the surgeons, the weight of the heavy machine gun itself is not something that cannot be held. They were well mobile, and with their excellent load-carrying capacity, they carried far more ammunition than the Major. Since the opening of fire, all kinds of weapons seem to show no signs of stopping. The Major's side was suppressed to death, and perhaps this was one of the important factors.
Designed to deal with heavy machine-gun bullets from hard rock cover, the tough trunks of ancient trees have little resistance either. One or two bullets hit the trunk of the tree fine, just a few large craters. But under the fire of a barrage of heavy machine-gun bullets, in the gentle woods, there was no obvious difference in terrain, and everything seemed to be unable to resist the torrent of steel of heavy fire weapons. No more hiding your shadow and no more searching for enemy locations. When the Major's team was completely exposed to the enemy's field of vision, and the fire from both sides was completely spread out, the ancient tree standing silently there in the middle became the earliest victim.
The simplest method of advance was adopted, and the number of heavy fire weapons and various types of bombs on the enemy's side was significantly greater than that of the major's. It can rely on the damage of bullets and explosions to force the major's team not to resist waves of attacks. The trunk of the ancient tree, which was everyone's cover, also looked a little pale at this time. was attacked by several heavy machine guns, and it took less than a few seconds to hold on. And the counting seconds are used to throw steel-hulled bombs and other high-powered explosives, whether it is the enemy or the veterans on Major Barron's side, everyone is very good at it. The accuracy of the throws was much better than that of some of the irregular armies and men that Cassia had seen before.
It is too dangerous to stay behind a large tree now, and if you do not take turns to change your position, you will be noticed by the enemy, and you may be greeted by a large number of bombs flying from different directions, and a heavy machine gun that turns its muzzle to point here.
Ammunition and physical limitations of personnel, the situation on Major Barron's side is very bad. The pressure on the remaining captains and majors themselves was also very high, and all the important points of fire in the ranks were under their control, barely delaying the retreat of the team a little. However, in this case, they themselves were also greatly limited, and almost all of the originally negotiated plans were not carried out due to the contrast in the actual battle.
The general attack was the same as the enemy thought, relying on the soldiers and a few captains to delay the enemy head-on, and it was certainly better to form a stalemate. Only then will they have plenty of time and opportunity to cut through the flanks and rely on their own strength to tear apart the enemy's ranks.
But now the situation was reversed, and Major Barron's team was reduced to a group, and the captains who had been prepared in advance on the outskirts of the group had to temporarily abandon their plans because of the deterioration of the situation, and rushed back to support Major Barron and them. At this point, the team loses people who can move flexibly, and the passive situation seems to only become more passive.
The enemy gained the upper hand, and the condensed ranks were spreading out in a fan-shaped shape on both sides, suppressing them by fire, gradually forming an encirclement network against them, to what they wanted to see. A lot of ammunition is carried by the enemy, and they do not have to worry about the reduction of firepower due to the consumption of ammunition. This is indeed something that Major Barron's side cannot match.
After coming out of the volcano base, through the interference and blockade of the signal, the team could not contact each other, and the base could not be notified. Basic supplies could not be transported by airboat, and the reduction of personnel and the decline of status could not be replenished in many ways. In addition to the dead enemies, there are only small animals that can be found in some rotten tree holes or caves when you are lucky.
Ammunition consumption was a major factor for Major Barron to consider, and the amount of ammunition each person carried did not allow them to fire indefinitely. In the course of the battle, they seem to be at a disadvantage by nature. Now that the situation of the team has basically stabilized, they are retreating in an orderly manner in the direction of the snow peak behind them, and the casualties are gradually decreasing, and everyone quickly adapts to the battle in this environment.
But it was all temporary, and Major Barron and a few captains were thinking about the rest of the battle.
"Major, the direction of the retreat doesn't seem to be very optimistic!" Someone ran to Major Barron's side from the front of the battle with the enemy, a sturdy young man, with a sturdy body and a large amount of ammunition hanging on his body. Before the battle, most of the load of the entire team was borne by these captains, so that the rest of the ordinary soldiers could be a little easier, both in battle and in various situations.
"There is no doubt that there are enemy airships on Snow Peak, but I'm afraid that these people in front of me are not all of the enemy. The man said, without a smile on his face. There was a palpable thirst in his throat, visible from his fiery breath and words. As he spoke, he swept away the surface of the snow around him and grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. The snow was about to stick together, and he chewed on the sandy snow in his mouth like a food, slowly melting it into thirst-quenching water with his body heat.
"In the same way, if there is an enemy on the side of the airship, then the communication will be received, and it will be driven down from the snowy peak to flank us. At that time, except for a few of us who had a chance to escape, the 、、、" Major around him did not speak, but the other knew what it meant.
Unable to do anything, the actual situation after the start of the battle has deviated greatly, and now they can only keep retreating.
"Major!" someone came running towards them with a machine on his back, it was a communications soldier. The communication machine on his back was lit up with several lights, many indicators flashed, and the communication soldier himself had a smile on his face, and he encountered something happy.
Major Barron, who had just discussed the current situation, and the other captain could not smile at this time. When they saw the Messenger running towards them, their hearts sank, because they knew that the worst had happened.
"The interference is gone! The communication seems to have been restored not so long ago! Major!" the communications officer ran over and reported to the major.
