Chapter 728: Changing the Tactics of Battle

The huge casualties made the faces of the remaining devils in front of the battle show a hesitant expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the officers scattered around them were still as firm as ever, and when they saw that the grenade explosions in front were becoming more and more sparse, they immediately thought that the grenades of the Liaodong Army in front had run out.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately ordered his subordinates to continue to rush forward, and then prepared the grenades produced by the empire, and also gave the Liaodong army a rain of grenades, so that they could taste the power of the grenades.

The devil who stepped on Tongliao's corpse, holding a gun in one hand and a grenade in the other, rushed into the smoke and continued to rush forward.

When he was about to rush out of the gunsmoke, he continued to rush forward and threw a grenade that had been prepared long ago at the position of the Liaodong Army.

When the devil reappeared in front of a group, hundreds of black grenades also flew towards the group.

"It's a devil's grenade, everyone hide it!" The battalion and company commanders scattered on the position, while their faces quickly turned pale, reminded their subordinates loudly.

Dozens of grenades were ready to be smashed into the trenches and exploded, and nearly 200 Liaodong troops were directly blown up in the trenches and lost their combat effectiveness.

The grenade explosion had not stopped, and some of the veterans crouching in the trenches had already stood up, picked up their rifles and shot forward.

The remaining devils in front of the battle also knew that the battle situation had reached the most critical moment.

Looking at the position of the Liaodong Army that was close at hand, it was as if he had been stimulated, and he continued to throw grenades while continuing to rush forward.

At this time, the disadvantage of slow rifle shooting appeared. Even though the rifleman was shooting forward with the grenades that were constantly exploding around him, the crazy devil continued to approach the position.

At the critical moment, the guard company and the reconnaissance faction rushed up.

More than 100 pistols were fired together, and the power was like dozens of light machine guns, and the dense bullets quickly intertwined a dense bullet net in front of the formation.

In just a few seconds, the guard company and reconnaissance company that rushed up fired more than 1,000 bullets at the devils, and more than 200 devils were caught off guard in this round of firepower.

This casualty did not make the devil reach the point of breaking his muscles and bones, but it restrained the unstoppable offensive of the devil and bought a group of remnants more than ten seconds to counterattack.

Taking advantage of this time, a group of soldiers who could still move all opened fire with grenades falling from the sky.

In particular, after a dozen or so light and heavy machine guns were fired one after another, the hundreds of devils who were close at hand immediately realized the huge gap from hope to despair.

Seeing that there was still one last step left to kill the Liaodong Army's defense line, the dense bullets did not give them this opportunity, and shot them more than ten meters away from the position, or even a few meters.

At this time, there were still more than 2,000 devils on the battlefield who were blocked by the Liaodong military artillery at a position of one or two hundred meters in front of the formation.

If these devils forcibly passed through the isolation zone blown up by the Liaodong army's artillery shells, ten people would be lucky enough to be able to rush through three or four people. Therefore, in the face of possible heavy casualties, more than 2,000 devils chose to stop for the time being.

Now I heard the gunfire in front of me suddenly stopped, and the artillery fire in front of me still had no intention of stopping. The devil immediately realized that the colleagues in front of him, who were separated by the artillery fire of the Liaodong army, had met with an accident.

At this time, the captain of the devil wing who led the team subconsciously thought of retreating.

The Liaodong Army can eat more than 2,000 colleagues who are separated, and they can eat themselves. What's more, under the interception of artillery fire, it will be lucky to have more than 2,000 people left when he rushes over, and when the time comes, there will be no problem for the Liaodong Army to eat more than 1,000 people.

The wing captain can think of this, and the big mountain rock who is on the battlefield also thinks of this.

Although he was very unwilling, the facts are the facts, the thunderous blow he prepared for the Liaodong Army failed, and it was still miserable.

Facing the gaze of his subordinates looking at him, his face was full of unwillingness, but he couldn't find a way to turn defeat into victory, and finally he could only give the order to retreat.

"Kill so many of my brothers, it's not so easy to leave if you want!" Looking at the battlefield around which was in shambles, and everywhere was filled with the smell of blood and gunsmoke, the regiment commander shouted with hatred on his face.

"Inform the artillery battalion and the mountain artillery company, chase the devil and retreat, shoot all the remaining shells, and then retreat quickly."

I saw that fireballs were constantly rising in the middle of the retreating troops of the devils, and a large number of corpses of devils fell around each fireball. The pain in the head of the regiment was immediately swept away, and there was a feeling of exhilaration.

"Baga, the Liaodong Army is still so difficult, a brigade and regiment went to attack them and didn't even win, could it be that this surprise attack we moved will end in failure!" Seeing that the attacking troops had lost another three or four hundred men before retreating, and retreating directly beyond the range of the opponent's mountain artillery, Dashan Yanxin had no place to vent his anger, and then scolded loudly.

"Artillery, the artillery of the Liaodong Army is too powerful. We almost won the attack just now. As long as we have mountain artillery in our hands, we will definitely win in the end, and the casualties will not be so great. The chief of staff analyzed with a frown.

"There are also mortars and grenadiers, we have only been equipped for less than two months, and the soldiers are not yet proficient in them."

"As far as I know, the Liaodong military mortars can cover the infantry and rush until thirty or forty meters in front of the battle before stopping, but our soldiers can't do this. The infantry was still sixty meters away from the opponent's position and stopped for fear of accidental injury. ”

"And the grenade throwing distance we are equipped with is only thirty or forty meters, which means that we have at least twenty meters of blank space in the fire suppression of the Liaodong Army during the attack!"

"As I just saw, nearly forty percent of all the soldiers we lost in the offensive were produced in the attack."

Da Shanyan's brows furrowed, and he immediately asked, "What about the grenadiers, what are they doing with food?" I remember that the military department was equipped with grenadiers in order to fill the gap in fire between mortars and grenades. ”

The chief of staff said with a wry smile: "The Liaodong Army seems to be very familiar with the shortcomings of our grenadier canisters' short range, and specially arranged heavy machine guns to deal with our grenadiers. In addition, the terrain here is flat, as long as the grenadier canister artillery will be exposed to the muzzle of the heavy machine gun of the Liaodong Army. I saw that the grenadiers we were equipped with could hardly suppress the opponent except for knocking out many machine-gun fire points of the Liaodong Army. ”

Da Shanyan frowned, like an angry lion, and scolded loudly: "Baga, according to what you just meant, aren't we helpless against the Liaodong Army?" ”

The chief of staff hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, there is a way, there must be a way, but we didn't think of it." ”

"Also, although we suffered heavy losses in the battle just now, the losses of the Liaodong Army were not small. Coupled with the fact that we are on the attacking side, we have earned just by looking at the proportion of casualties. ”

"You know, we have the advantage of troops, and if we fight for attrition, the Liaodong Army will definitely not be able to win against us." To be continued.
