Chapter 217: Breakthrough
The sudden artillery attack not only dealt a devastating blow to the defenders in the city, but also led them to death step by step. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The impact on the defenders outside the city was also devastating.
As soon as the sound of shells and explosions sounded inside the city, the garrison barracks outside the city became chaotic.
And at this moment, the 152 regiments of the Liaodong Army, which attacked them, opened fire.
Nearly twenty heavy machine guns opened fire together, and the dense heavy machine gun bullets, like an impenetrable storm of steel, quickly swept towards them.
In the blink of an eye, Lao Maozi's patrol around the barracks was devastated.
Dozens of old hairy people, before they could make any reaction, were swept to the ground by heavy machine gun bullets.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
In the face of the attack, the remaining Lao Maozi in the military camp of course hurriedly pounced to plug the gap and prevent Lao Maozi from coming in.
However, under the strafing and suppression of the bullets of the heavy machine guns, what they did was like moths to a fire, and it had no effect.
No matter how many people Lao Maozi rushed out of the barracks, he was no match for heavy machine gun bullets.
Soon, a thick layer of Lao Maozi's corpse fell on the ground at the junction of the Lao Maozi artillery barracks and the infantry barracks.
At this time, one or five or two regiments that were still lying on the ground moved.
Dozens of machine gunners, holding light machine guns, jumped from the ground like leopards.
As soon as the man stood up, the light machine gun held in front of his chest fired a fiery tongue forward.
One light machine gun has one tongue of fire, and twenty light machine guns are nearly twenty tongues of fire.
Although the firepower is a little worse than that of the heavy machine gun, these tongues of fire are concentrated at one point for strafing and suppression, and they can still press Lao Maozi to the ground and cannot move.
The heavy machine guns set up beside them quickly turned their muzzles and fired around the breakthrough to prevent Lao Maozi from reinforcing the breakthrough.
Seeing that the old Maozi around the breakthrough was either beaten to death, or pressed to death, lying on the ground and unable to move.
Dozens of machine gunners holding light machine guns and firing forward. immediately rushed towards the breakthrough of the corpses of the old Maozi everywhere.
More than 2,000 infantry of the two regiments were not idle, and the black pressed a large area, followed closely behind the machine gunners, and rushed towards the breakthrough.
While charging forward. Shoot forward with your rifle to increase your charge and suppressive firepower.
At the breakthrough of the barracks full of corpses, the old Maozi of a company had just rushed up, and he was crushed to the ground by 20 light machine guns, unable to move.
But. Even so, there was no way they could avoid death.
The company commander saw with his own eyes that the bullets flying above his head would hit his subordinates from time to time, shooting his subordinates on the spot.
Seeing that one of his companies had lost a platoon, and the remaining brothers were still suppressed here by enemy fire, unable to move.
The company commander is in his eyes and anxious in his heart.
At this rate of loss, he will not get any more support, at most ten minutes. The troops will be lost.
So, like an angry lion, the company commander scolded loudly: "Heavy machine guns, where are our heavy machine gun companies?" In a counterattack without firing, the enemy is going to storm our barracks? ā
The platoon commander lying beside him also looked angry, and replied loudly to the company commander: "The company commander, the regiment commander and the battalion commander are all in the city, and without their orders, the gang of heavy machine gun companies will not listen to anyone's orders......
After saying that, the platoon commander seemed to think of something. Go on.
"Several other companies, because there was no order, either retreated or hid in the barracks...... Just two or three of us rushed up desperately. Resist enemy attacks ......"
"However, the enemy's offensive fire was too fierce, and the garrison in the city was also heavily shelled by the enemy."
"This is obviously a premeditated battle by the enemy, and they want to wipe out all two of our divisions here......"
"Retreat, company commander. Even those of us can't stop the enemy's attack at all. Staying here is no different from sending you to death? ā
Although the company commander's heart was full of anger, he still had the most basic sense.
As soon as the platoon commander finished speaking, the company commander retorted: "No, as soon as we retreat here, the joint of infantry and artillery will be completely exposed to the enemy." Then the enemy will be able to easily enter our barracks......"
Speaking of this, the company commander, who still had a trace of reluctance and hope, his eyes lit up, and he continued: "Heavy machine guns can't do it, we still have artillery...... And what about artillery? Let the artillery open fire immediately, blow up the enemy's light and heavy machine guns, and block the enemy's attack with artillery fire......"
"It's late! It's too late, the company commander ......" The platoon commander subconsciously replied.
"The artillery of the artillery battalion is still covered with gun jackets, and there is not even a position, how can it be possible to open fire immediately......"
"Without twenty minutes of preparation, the artillery battalion could not even shoot a single shell......"
At this moment, an even more violent explosion sounded directly in Anshan County, behind them.
From a distance, it sounded as if the entire county had exploded together.
When they looked behind them, they contacted the gates of the city, which were already covered in dust and smoke from the explosion.
As the smoke and dust were slowly blown away by the wind, the gate of Anshan County has become a pile of ruins.
And this is just the beginning for Lao Maozi outside the city.
Just a few seconds after the explosion, the explosion became more and more dense, and immediately began to sound in the city.
Soon, half of Anshan County was enveloped in artillery fire.
The fireballs rising in the county, some even tens of meters high, looked like a volcanic eruption from a distance.
"It's over, the city gate is sealed, the troops in the city are finished, it's all over......" At this time, even the company commander couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Seeing that the expression on the company commander's face had begun to loosen, the platoon commander, who had been persuading the retreat just now, hurriedly continued.
"Company commander, you have seen it, the enemy's goal is to destroy us all here......"
"One of our companies is here to block the attack, and it won't play any role except to send them to death......
"Quit, right? If we don't retreat, all of us won't be able to leave......"
Several other platoon commanders also seemed to sense the threat of death.
He followed up and said, "Company commander, retire...... Do you want to see your brothers die here? ā
In the end, the company commander retired with less than half of his subordinates.
In this way, under the cover of strong firepower, the two regiments rushed into the Lao Maozi military camp with almost no great effort, separating the Lao Maozi artillery and infantry.
In the face of the chaos in front of Lao Maozi, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were like hungry wolves rushing into the sheepfold, opening the way with light machine guns and killing Lao Maozi artillery station.
Soon, the old Maozi artilleryman, who was unable to concentrate on the battle because of the loss of command, was slaughtered and defeated.
Of the six or seven hundred artillery men, more than 300 were killed, and the remaining 300 or so were all taken prisoner.
The old hairy man of the two baggage battalions is even more unbearable.
Seeing that some people in the artillery battalion had surrendered, and as soon as the Fifth Regiment entered their barracks, they surrendered one after another and became prisoners.
After all, the baggage battalion is the lowest status and lowest combat effectiveness in a unit. (To be continued.) )
