Chapter 150: Counterattack (Ask for Collection)
A forest two miles away from the battlefield is not large, and before Lao Maozi arrived, he had reconnoitred and searched this forest, and he still found nothing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, throughout the battle, no one, including the regimental commander, paid attention to this inconspicuous forest.
At this moment, the size of this forest has not changed.
However, the small forest is full of life, and you can't see the dead silence of the cold winter in the northeast at all.
The cavalry battalion of the Liaodong Army, three hundred cavalry and their war horses, were nervous and expectant to hide in this forest, waiting for the first battle after the establishment of the cavalry battalion.
"Brothers, you're going to beat Lao Maozi...... Are you afraid? Looking at the company platoon commanders gathered around him, the battalion commander Wu Xin replied in his calmest tone possible.
"Battalion commander...... Don't be afraid ......" more than a dozen company platoon commanders answered without thinking.
"Bullshit......" Wu Xin retorted directly.
"This is the first battle after the formation of my cavalry battalion, and the brothers have not even completed the training, how can they not be afraid of ......"
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces because of his words, Wu Xin's words changed and continued.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there's nothing bad to say......"
"Although my cavalry battalion has been training for several months, except for a small number of elite veterans, most of the brothers can only run wild on the battlefield, immediately chop and kill people, and cannot even shoot at the very least......
"Use such a cavalry to fight against the elite of Lao Maozi, and it is also the elite of Lao Maozi who is equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns...... If it was before, I didn't have any bottom in my heart, and I wasn't optimistic about this raid battle......"
At this point, Wu Xin clearly felt that the doubts on the faces of the platoon commanders under his command had been covered with solemnity and worry.
At this time, Wu Xin continued to speak: "Of course, this is not the imperial court patrol battalion where I stayed before, but the invincible Liaodong Army...... As long as the commander is here, I can confidently say that we will definitely win this raid......"
"The former commander said that our cavalry battalion has only one task on the battlefield, and with the cavalry's powerful ability to charge and kill, we will break up the old men on the battlefield. As long as they are scattered, no matter how elite Lao Maozi is, it will become a group of stragglers. ”
The faces of more than ten company platoon commanders just looked a lot better, Wu Xin's words changed again, and he continued: "However, as the first battle since the establishment of the cavalry battalion, I don't plan to let our cavalry battalion be a supporting role on the battlefield like this. ”
"According to the reconnaissance, Lao Maozi who stood in front of my cavalry battalion only had more than 100 people......"
"Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun, which poses the greatest threat to us, is not to mention deployed on the frontal battlefield, and is also chased and beaten by our artillery, and it can't take care of us at all. Therefore, we need to face the remnants of Lao Maozi, who are less than a company a few hundred meters away......"
"As long as we defeat or eliminate the remnants of this company's old Maozi...... Lao Maozi's position will return to my cavalry battalion to charge and kill......"
On the battlefield, the defeat and retreat of the frontal attacking troops was both unexpected and expected for the regiment commander.
After all, in addition to the counterattack fire of the defenders of the Liaodong Army, the frontal attacking troops also had to withstand the continuous artillery fire of the two mountain guns.
However, what the regiment commander did not expect was that there was still more than one platoon left of the attacking troops, which had just begun to retreat.
The defenders of the Liaodong Army, who had been holding the position and did not even dare to show their heads, actually rushed out of the position.
Light machine guns, rifles, pistols...... All of them were held in the hands of the Liaodong Army.
While launching a counterattack against the retreating troops under his command, he fired a dense burst of bullets at the retreating troops.
In this way, the battlefield retreat of the attacking troops not only did not give them hope of survival, but accelerated their own death speed because they exposed their backs in front of the Liaodong Army......
"Heavy machine guns, what about our heavy machine gun company? Why don't you shoot back immediately and block the counterattack of the Liaodong Army......" The anger in the heart of the regiment commander quickly surged above his head, like an angry lion, and scolded loudly.
The deputy regiment commander, who was standing aside, quickly replied: "The artillery company reports...... The artillery fire of the Liaodong Army was fierce, and the heavy machine gunners were temporarily deployed, so there was no way to counterattack during the shelling......"
It is certain that if the heavy machine guns did not open fire, they would have fired interceptive fire at the counterattacking forces of the Liaodong Army.
In less than two minutes, the remaining platoon of the frontal attacking force was wiped out.
More importantly, if the frontal attacking forces are completely annihilated, the attacking forces on both flanks will certainly be affected.
Even if they are not affected, continue to attack. The Liaodong Army, which eliminated its own frontal attacking troops, could also be divided into two and, under the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, threatened the flanks of its own attacking troops on both flanks.
At that time, the attacking forces on both flanks will not be affected, but will repeat the mistakes of the past.
You know, you don't have many troops at hand.
If the three companies on the battlefield are wiped out, they will not only lose hope of taking the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, but also have no strength to protect themselves.
After all, this is the hinterland of the Liaodong Army, and in the face of heavy losses, there is no Liaodong Army that does not want to take a bite on itself and finally eliminate itself......
In order to complete the task and save his life, the regiment commander was in a hurry.
The whole person was as if he had eaten gunpowder, and his whole body was enveloped in anger.
Then, he directly vented all the endless anger in his heart to the culprit of the failure, the heavy machine gun company.
scolded the deputy head beside him, regardless of his identity.
"Bastard...... Coward...... It's all a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death......"
"Tell the heavy machine gun company right away that in a minute, if I don't see the counterfire of the heavy machine gun. Even if they weren't scared to death by the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army, they would have been dealt with by our military law......"
In the face of the regiment commander's murderous order, Lao Maozi, who acted as a temporary machine gunner, immediately fell into hesitation.
At this time, I don't know if it was God's help or what's wrong, the two shells that came from the roar happened to fall right among them.
The shells exploded, and the two heavy machine guns, along with seven or eight machine gunners, exploded directly in front of their eyes.
Facing the imminent death, facing the fear that the body is torn apart.
The only sanity left in the heavy's mind was instantly enveloped in panic.
Subsequently, the murderous order of the regiment commander was forgotten by them. Just like before, they began to move everywhere to avoid artillery fire.
Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun inaction is exactly what the Liaodong Army wants to see.
After rushing out of the trenches, the Liaodong Army, which was less than 100 people, seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and killed Lao Maozi's army with no life.
The bullets full of revenge, as if they didn't want money, were shot out desperately by them.
In less than two minutes, on the frontal battlefield, the gunfire and the shouts of the Liaodong Army's counterattacking troops fell silent.
