Chapter 483 of the New History of China in the First Wu Dynasty Street Fighting
"In street fighting, you never know what you'll encounter at the next crossroads, and careful reconnaissance and skillful coordination are the only ways to survive in street fighting." -- Zhang Wenxuan
"When you get to the street, you blow the whistle first, and if you don't respond, you will be killed when you see someone." This was an order given by the leaders of each combat group to the scouts and machine gunners. Street battles are often encounters, either the enemy is not visible, or the distance between the two sides is only more than 100 meters or even dozens of meters! The two sides often can't determine the identity of the other party at all, so they will subconsciously pull the trigger. Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, all teams in Beiyang are specially equipped with whistles as "sharp" contact tools!
There are not many people in the first place, and if they are scattered in Vladivostok City, it is easy to break them individually, so Zhang Wenxuan emphasized that each unit must have at least one company, and several companies should cooperate with each other within 2 to 3 blocks. Together, they attacked the remaining warehouses of supplies and ordnance in Vladivostok...... Of course, in addition to the main forces, there are also several elite reconnaissance detachments, and the task of these units is to find some "valuable targets" in the city, such as a transit point for Russian supplies, such as the command of the Russian army or something! If these targets cannot be found, then Zhang Wenxuan's task is to go around the rear of the Russian defense line and meet the breakthrough of the main forces, after all, the rear of any defense line is vulnerable. It's impossible for a bunker to get a bunch of machine-gun holes behind it! …。
In order to take care of these two tasks, Zhang Wenxuan's troops, which entered from the east, were divided into two parts, and Zhang Wenxuan led the main force to attack directly to the rear of the Russian army's northern defense. And the remaining troops covered Zhang Wenxuan's flanks on the one hand, and on the other hand, looked for targets worth attacking.
Facing this army that suddenly rushed into his soft belly. The Russians' front finally wavered, and about 5,000 troops were transferred from different theaters to the inner city. The assault regiment responsible for blocking and annihilating Zhang Wenxuan was fighting between the ruins, in the open space between the houses, on the streets, through the houses and even a wall.
"Go, blow that wall open." The commander of the assault regiment, Stone said, pointing to the wall in front of him. Then the team in charge of the demolition quietly ran over, and then placed an explosive bag on the wall, and was about to pull the fuse, when the sound of conversation from the other side of the wall made Stone feel nervous.
"There's an enemy over there." The leader of the demolition team used a gesture to tell Stone this information.
"They're getting closer to the wall." Another Beiyang soldier put his ear against the wall and gestured at Stone as well. "Prepare a couple of large grenades, throw them over the wall, machine gun crews prepare. When you open the door, you shoot inside. Stone's gesture told several platoon commanders under his command ..........
And the Russian troops of one battalion opposite did not know anything about their fate. The vanguard company in front had just approached the wall, hesitating whether to use a blast or climb over it with a ladder. This is a nobleman's private residence, and if you make a rash opening, you will be liquidated! The wrath of a viscount was not something that a small company commander could bear, and while a bunch of people were under the wall discussing how to get over, a few grenades that crossed over the wall directly freed them from this annoying problem!
An air burst of several grenades is very lethal. The scattered shrapnel will directly form a web of death, covering all the Russian soldiers below, as long as the Russian officers and soldiers within the explosion range will either be beaten into blood gourds by the shrapnel, or directly torn to pieces by the huge force of the explosion. The remaining Russian officers and soldiers were stunned. They couldn't have imagined that they would die if they leaned against the wall! Don't wait for them to react. Suddenly there were several loud noises on the wall, and several openings appeared in the smoke, and then tongues of fire gathered out of the smoke and swept towards the Russians in the courtyard. …。
In an instant, the sound of gunfire and the dying cries of wounded soldiers instantly rang out in the courtyard of this nobleman. The Russian soldiers, who reacted, quickly sought cover nearby, while the heralds informed their compatriots in the back of the situation. But Stone, who had the advantage of firepower and seized the opportunity, would not give the Russians a chance to regroup, under the cover of the machine gunners, the sharp knife platoon armed with submachine guns and grenade launchers quickly passed through the gap, rushed into the already messy Russian formation, and opened fire, accompanied by the roar of the submachine gun, and the sound of bullet casings falling to the ground, a company of Russian soldiers except for a platoon that ran away in time, dozens of people were confessed here! . …。
"Well done brothers." Stone encouraged. But the voice did not fall...... The sound of mortar shells streaking through the air made the Beiyang officers and soldiers who had just won a battle have no time to celebrate, and immediately returned to the battle. Very open, the scouts arranged on both wings quickly told Stone through the signal flares that you provoked a big guy, people are very angry, and the consequences are serious!
The most important thing in war is the perception of the battlefield situation, although perception may not make you win a hundred battles, but the critical moment can save your life! For example, now. Although Stone's men are equipped with elite equipment and have experienced a hundred battles, in the face of a Russian battalion with heavy machine guns and mortars, his light equipment is really not enough, even if he huddles in the house and holds on, it is impossible. Because people have heavy warp fire such as mortars, and you don't have anything, the strongest is machine guns and grenade launchers with a range of tens of meters. The firepower is completely disproportionate, and it is perfectly possible to blow up the house you are defending and then find the remnants of resistance in the rubble and rubble!
Since he has fought and can't defend it, then Stone's only choice is to circle with the opponent, avoid the edge, go around the flank or even the rear to launch a short assault on the opponent, and use the explosiveness of instantaneous firepower to kill a large number of opponents in a short period of time. And hide again between the ruins before the opponent's heavy fire can react. But even so. The Russians' superiority in strength still caused heavy losses to Stone's troops, after all, the Russians knew the terrain, and at close range, the grenades thrown were sometimes more terrible than the submachine guns! …。
If nothing else, Stone may have fought with the other side, but soon, the Russian army gave up the offensive and prepared to withdraw and move north. At this moment, almost all the siege guns and naval guns in Beiyang carried out the final bombardment at the highest rate of fire against the already crumbling Russian defense line, and with the barrage that gradually moved forward, the group charge of Beiyang began!
