Chapter 683: The Commander is Here
After finally rushing to a distance of fifty meters from the position, the officers and troops had already lost nearly a battalion of attacking troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The losses were great, but every remaining soldier had a smile on his face that was in sight of victory.
At a distance of fifty meters, if you rush at the fastest speed, you can rush to the position of the Liaodong Army in ten seconds.
And ten seconds is a blink of an eye for a battle. So, everyone left in the attacking force was confident in this offensive.
But they forgot that this distance was already the limit of the fire cover provided by the heavy machine guns behind them.
This time, they did not hear the sound of artillery. But the heavy machine gun fire from behind them stopped, just when they didn't understand why the heavy machine gun didn't fire, and realized that death was beckoning to them again. The heavy machine-gun position dozens of meters away in front of them suddenly rang out with a terrifying gunshot.
Rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and even rifles, all came at them.
The dense bullets quickly intertwined a steel storm in front of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were swept to the ground in pieces.
Of course, this is only the beginning of a nightmare for the officers and soldiers.
The sudden onslaught of fire did not stop after a while, as in the previous rounds, but continued to shoot at them, as if bullets did not cost money.
When the officers and soldiers who slowly reacted fell to the ground to avoid the bullets, at least 300 officers and soldiers fell in this round of blows.
Of course, even when they lay on the ground, with a dense stream of bullets flying close to their scalps, they still kept hitting their targets.
No matter how stupid the remaining officers and soldiers on the battlefield were, they knew that they would not be able to kill the position of the Liaodong Army.
As a result, the remaining two battalion management bands glanced at each other and gave the order to retreat.
Unwilling to be defeated, Zaitao attacked again but still returned without success, and also lost more than one battalion. Zaitao decisively stopped this meaningless attack, and urged the artillery behind to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Li Jie, who knew the artillery of the officers and soldiers well, knew very well that the trenches he had built could not withstand the shelling of field artillery, and he also knew that the officers and men of the garrison regiment in his hands might collapse directly in the shelling.
Therefore, as soon as the officers and troops stopped attacking and waited for artillery, Li Jie began to arrange for the troops to retreat to the rear line of defense.
It was not easy to wait for the artillery, and it took half an hour to set up the artillery, so that the defense line of Zaitao's lost troops was empty.
Of course, Zaitao is not aware of this situation.
Through the telescope, he could still faintly see some shadows, as for whether these shadows were really Liaodong Army or scarecrows, it was unknown.
After hearing the artillery commander's reply that he could open the cannon, Zaitao's eyes immediately shot out two rays of fine light, and he decisively gave the order to open the cannon.
Perhaps in order to vent the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, or perhaps to avenge the soldiers who died in battle, more than 50 field artillery pieces bombarded for ten minutes before stopping.
As soon as the shelling ended, the officers and soldiers of the two battalions began to attack under the orders of Zaitao.
After rushing to the position of the Liaodong Army very easily, Zaitao, who originally thought that the attacking troops would bring good news to him, unexpectedly heard a report that the position of the Liaodong Army was empty.
I lost so many soldiers and spent so many shells, and in the end I got the true meaning of being empty. That's not all, after fighting for so long, I didn't even see a word about the corpse of the Liaodong Army.
At this time, Zaitao had the idea of vomiting blood.
But in the end, he held back, held his anger in his heart, and waited for himself to kill all the way to the headquarters of the Liaodong Army before venting it.
After glancing at the equally unsightly subordinates around him, Zaitao decisively ordered the troops to continue to attack.
Compared with the pipeline he had walked through before, the official road under his feet in front of him was more completely destroyed by the Liaodong Army, not to mention the artillery and baggage vehicles, it was very difficult for people to walk.
In order to seize the time, Zaitao could only give the order to divide the troops again.
However, in order to speed up the artillery and baggage troops, in addition to leaving a co-ordination to protect them, Zaitao also specially transferred a target force to build roads for the artillery and baggage troops.
Even so, when Zaitao arrived at the second line of defense prepared for him by Li Jie with more than 10,000 infantry, two hours passed.
This time, Li Jie still used the tactical tactics he had just used.
Before the arrival of the artillery units of the officers and soldiers, they desperately had to hold their positions.
As soon as the official artillery came, Li Jie withdrew from the position, ceded the defensive line to the officers and soldiers, and let the officers and soldiers consume a large number of shells in vain.
At the end of the day, although Zaitao took down the three lines of defense prepared by Li Jie. However, there are at least five lines of defense ahead of Zaitao. Not surprisingly, it would take at least two days for Zaitao, who commanded more than 20,000 officers and troops, to arrive at the headquarters of the Liaodong Army.
After dark, when several garrison regiments were still immersed in the joy of victory during the day, Li Jie stayed at the headquarters with a frown and thought about how to slow down the attack of the officers and troops tomorrow.
The battles of the day, although won, were won very speculatively.
The officers and soldiers are not fools, and they will definitely be able to find out the clues. As long as the officers and troops are-for-tat in tomorrow's attack, the speed of their attack will definitely speed up a lot, and the casualties of the several garrison regiments under their command will also be greatly increased.
Although Li Jie still doesn't know what methods the officials and soldiers use to crack their daytime tactics, in order to win longer, Li Jie can't gamble, so he can only think of a backup method in advance in case of emergency.
At this moment, the outside of the tent suddenly became lively, and then, a burst of excited commander's voice reached Li Jie's ears.
Could it be that the commander is here! This is the subconscious thought in Li Jie's heart.
Sure enough, as soon as this idea came out of the station, the figure of Commander Yang Xingguo appeared at the door of the tent, and then, Yang Xingguo's appreciative voice reached Li Jie's ears.
"Commander Li, you fought well today, it seems that it was a wrong decision to let you be the commander of the coastal defense artillery regiment at the beginning, your current level, you can be the division commander and stand alone."
Seeing Li Jie's face slightly red, he subconsciously wanted to say something modestly.
Yang Xingguo immediately waved his hand and said, "I know all about today's battle, and it was really good." However, passive defense has never been my Yang Xingguo's character, since I am here, then let's fight a counterattack with the official army, and let them know that the consequences of the raid on my Liaodong Army are not something they can bear. ”
Li Jie's eyes lit up and asked, "Commander, you plan to fight back tomorrow!" ”
Yang Xingguo did not answer immediately, but showed a smile full of mystery.
As a veteran who grew up with the commander! Li Jie also knows the character of the commander very well!
As long as the commander has this mysterious smile on his face, it means that the commander must have a big plan brewing in his heart, and it is a shocking plan. (To be continued.) )
