Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Great War Begins (3)
The heavy machine gun regiment had almost fifty heavy machine guns, most of which were captured from all over Jinan, and some of them were purchased through some small families, which were gathered by Feng Yong to form a medium machine gun battalion under the command of the headquarters. As for the two major families, neither of them has made arms deals with Feng Yong's department at present. On the one hand, because Feng Yong's department has seized a large number of weapons and ammunition in the past six months, the arsenal is sufficient, and the construction of Feng Yongzhen's arsenal has eased the supply of weapons and ammunition to a certain extent.
Heavy machine guns deserve to be called the meat grinder of war. Fifty heavy machine guns were a nightmare for the Dragon Guard infantry. Although at the first moment of heavy machine gun fire, the Dragon Guards sounded the horn of the withdrawal of troops. Unfortunately, they were too close to the forward position, and on the way back, hundreds of meters were shrouded in the range of heavy machine guns, and these few hundred meters became a dead Jedi, and in the roar of heavy machine guns, soldiers fell in pools of blood. The rest of the soldiers only hated their parents for having two legs less, where could they still take care of the formation.
Li Jun's headquarters, Li Jun put down the binoculars in his hand, and said with some pity: "If the number of my men is doubling, a counter-charge just now, even if it can't completely defeat the enemy, it will bring heavy damage to the enemy."
The enemy was out of range, and the heavy machine guns stopped roaring. According to Li Jun's order, the enemy did not retreat and did not allow the soldiers to go out of the trenches to clean the battlefield. Therefore, the heavy machine guns stopped, and the warring parties fell into shock for a while, and there was an eerie calm on the battlefield, just ten minutes. No less than 5,000 people fell under the heavy machine. That is, each heavy machine gun shot an average of hundreds of people in less than ten minutes. An entire company was reimbursed like that.
After a long while, the soldiers of the guard battalion on the position broke out into cheers. In just the first wave of attacks, the enemy lost a quarter of his forces. On his side, only a few soldiers were killed by indiscriminate gunfire, and two other heavy machine guns malfunctioned. It is temporarily unavailable.
In the temporary command center of the Dragon Guard Army, the blood dragon Zhai Qian's face was pale, he didn't expect Feng Yong to have more than fifty heavy machine guns. You know, his heavy machine gun regiment only has more than a hundred heavy machine guns. Because of carelessness, the Dragon Guard was wiped out by a quarter at once. There were not many casualties caused by the terrifying lethality of the heavy machine guns, and basically the injured were all clots of blood by the heavy machine guns when they retreated.
"Xiao Dezi, urge the mountain artillery regiment to speed up, Lao Tzu is going to destroy them all!" Zhai Qian's face turned red. This time he was careless. originally thought that with the advantage of numbers, they could rush through at one time, but every time they thought of Feng Yong's people, they had dug such a deep trench in the ice and snow, and it was obviously not a trench. Coupled with the cooperation of heavy machine guns, the advantage in numbers was minimized. Although he lost more than 5,000 people, Zhai Qian was not discouraged, he still had a trump card and did not make a move. By the time the heavy machine gun regiment and the mountain running regiment come to the top, the enemy will have only one way to destroy.
Boom Boom!
In a hurry, the mountain artillery regiment of the Dragon Guard finally opened fire half an hour later. From time to time, there were screams from the gunsmoke-filled position. It was the screams of the hapless soldier as he was killed by a bomb that had been driven into the trench. Of course, the heavy machine gun position just now was the focus of the shelling, and what kind of power was the thirty-six sixty-millimeter mountain guns was definitely a nightmare for Feng Yong's department, which lacked heavy weapons.
After ten minutes of shelling, at least twenty shells were fired from each mountain gun, and the positions of the guard battalion had already been plowed with shells, and the original snow had long since disappeared. The blasted ground emitted bursts of conspicuous white smoke.
"Charge!"
Looking at the enemy position that had not been ravaged by the mountain artillery, the morale of the Dragon Guard was greatly boosted, and most of the fearful thoughts just now disappeared. With a gun in his hand, he rushed forward.
A satisfied smile appeared on the blood dragon's face, he believed that the shelling just now had completely destroyed the enemy's heavy machine gun position, coupled with the shelling just now, the enemy had become a lost dog and was vulnerable.
It's a pity that the reality is always so cruel, the smile on the blood dragon's face has not disappeared, and the muzzles of black holes appear again on the originally silent position, and the soldiers of the guard battalion seem to suddenly emerge from the ground. The crisp sound of Hanyang's gunfire was like a resounding slap in the face of the blood dragon.
"How is that possible? How could there be nothing wrong with the enemy with such heavy artillery fire? The blood dragon's face was full of disbelief. You must know that in the past ten minutes, the blood dragon had fired hundreds of shells, and the ground on the enemy's position had sunk by five centimeters, how could the enemy have nothing to do.
At this time, the defensive position of the squadron was basically the old-fashioned first-line line, and when the attack was smooth, it was convenient to rush forward and quickly achieve victory. But not defensively. After all, having only one line of defense is very unsafe. Moreover, the first line of the team greatly reduced the intensity of the team's firepower. Feng Yong's troops would only choose a front-line position when they were ambushing the enemy. After all, the basic strength of the army will not be too different when it is ambushed, and with the advantage of the terrain, the battle time will not be very long. And the rush of the team is also a huge blow to the enemy's heart.
Da-da-da-da
The nightmarish sound of the heavy machine gun sounded again, and the body of the dragon guard, who had experienced the battle just now, instinctively trembled, wanting to escape.
Whoosh!
One by one, black objects flew out of the position of the guard battalion and flew directly into the group of Dragon Guard soldiers. Then there was a bang, and a crater with a diameter of one meter appeared on the spot, and the enemies within a few meters of it had been blown to pieces, and those who did not die fell to the ground covered in blood and wailing.
This is the black powder grenade produced by the Fengyong County Arsenal, the power of the black powder grenade was not so great, but some inferior iron nails were added to the production too long, so that the lethality of the grenade was greatly enhanced. After the construction of the large industrial zone during this period, the Fengyong County Arsenal finally purchased equipment for the production of new smokeless gunpowder. It's just that the production of new smokeless gunpowder is not large, and it is basically used to produce bullets and mortar shells. The grenades sent to the various divisions were basically black powder recharge grenades. This time when he went north to snipe the enemy, the guard battalion, which lacked heavy weapons, carried this kind of high-power weapon for individual soldiers.
In the first wave, the enemy did not come within thirty yards of the fortifications due to the terrifying power of fifty heavy machine guns. Naturally, the power of a grenade was not tasted. This time, after the shelling, the enemy excitedly came to the trench, and the soldiers, of course, began to throw grenades. This made the unsuspecting Dragon Guards suffer a big loss.
Although a large number of grenades were not as lethal as heavy machine guns, the Dragon Guards, who were already in a state of hesitation to attack or retreat, were the last straw that crushed the houses. As a result, no matter how urged by the officers of the Dragon Guard, the Dragon Guard did not dare to step into the thirty yards of the forward position of the guard battalion. The wailing Dragonguard soldiers made this area a no-go zone for Dragonguard soldiers. Seeing that there was basically no battle to be gained, Zhai Qian chose to retreat with an unwilling face.
Aggrieved, Zhai Qian felt that he was simply aggrieved to death. Enraged, he ordered the artillerymen to open fire again. The positions of the guard battalion were again plunged into a sea of fire. The place where several heavy machine guns originally appeared also became the focus of mountain artillery.
The Public Security Corps, Li Jun's headquarters.
"Listening to the sound of artillery, the enemy is afraid that there are more than 30 mountain artillery, and there is a mountain artillery regiment here, how did they get so many heavy weapons?" Li Jun said depressedly. According to the information obtained by the Ministry of Intelligence, the Dragon Guard should have heavy weapons, but he never expected that it would be a regiment of mountain artillery.
"Such heavy weapons are generally only available to governments at the international level. However, I heard that Lao Maozi's Far Eastern Army is very rotten, and as long as you have money, you can get their standard equipment. Even the most advanced kind of rifle Mosin Nagan can easily get it. Intelligence Minister Cao Shunmin said.
"It's a shame to think about it, we can't defeat such a rotten army. Whenever I think of the old Russian Maozi, I can't wait to eat his flesh and swallow his bones. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of rivers and mountains in our northeast have been occupied by such a group of barbaric things. Sooner or later, we will have to recover the land occupied by the Russians, which is left by our ancestors and cannot be left behind. ”
"It's too early to say that, what we have to do is do our best. Destroy the Dragon Guards who are entering Jilin in front of you. I have just received information from the 3rd Brigade that they are already on the move and can be on the battlefield in three days at most. What we have to do is to hold on for three days and buy time for the three brigades to encircle the enemy. Li Jun looked at the map and said.
"Three days? Absolutely no problem, we almost wiped out a quarter of Lao Maozi's troops in the battle just now. If I come a few more times, I am afraid that without the help of the third brigade, the enemy can be destroyed. Minister of Security Liu Dong said optimistically.
Liu Dong also came to the north this time, after all, as the head of the original guard regiment, he was very suitable for assisting Li Jun in commanding the troops.
Li Jun shook his head, things are not as simple as imagined, as long as the commander of the Dragon Guard Army is not an idiot, he will definitely not make such a low-level mistake after suffering losses.
"What about the casualties of the first battalion?" The enemy had been held back for almost five hours, and the gunfire on the battlefield had barely stopped.
"A battalion of eight hundred and sixty-seven men plus one company left above by the heavy machine gun battalion, a total of one thousand and fifty men. Listening to the sound of gunfire, the losses of the first battalion are also almost half. Liu Dong said with a frown. The first battalion of the guard regiment turned out to be his old unit, and naturally he had deep feelings. But now it is a big battle related to the death of Jilin Province, and even if there are feelings, it cannot affect the layout of the commander. Liu Dong still understands this basic requirement.
"Half lost?" Li Jun's expression did not change, 1,000 people sniped 20,000 people, and after destroying more than 6,000 enemies, he only consumed less than half, and the battle loss ratio was almost 1 to 10. This is absolutely extremely rare on the domestic battlefield.
"Tell the 1st Battalion to hold out for three hours, and after 3 hours the 1st Battalion will withdraw to the rear to rest and recuperate, and let the 2nd Battalion be deployed in the 2nd Line of Defense. Takes over a battalion to snipe the enemy. ”
"Chief of Staff, the enemy will definitely not be able to break through the No. 1 line of defense in three hours, and now it will be dark soon, how can the No. 1 line of defense be a cheap enemy for nothing?" Liu Dong didn't understand Li Jun's layout.
Li Jun didn't explain, his eyes widened, and he said, "Execute the order!" ”
"Yes!"
