Chapter 566: No Retreat
Some are like old ladies with broken mouths, after repeatedly explaining how this girl should defend herself and escape. Li He took off his steel helmet again, brought it to this girl, and told her that as long as she was in the battlefield, she must not take it off. Originally, Li He wanted to give her a Soviet-style F grenade imitated by the Anti-United Nations, but after thinking about it, forget it.
He saw the original Soviet version of this grenade. The power of the good guy, hiding at a distance of thirty-five meters is not necessarily safe. Although the anti-union imitation has reduced its power, the killing range is also more than 20 meters. Coupled with the weight of more than a pound, not to mention a woman without any military training.
Even men with a weaker system and less strength are not necessarily safe. Because this thing has no dead ends within twenty-five. So Li He finally gave her two wooden handle grenades made by the Anti-Union, at least don't let her blow herself up. This anti-type grenade should be left to your own troops.
He has seen the original Soviet goods, and the power of the good guys is not necessarily safe to hide at a distance of thirty-five meters. Although the power of the anti-union imitation was reduced, the charge was changed from 600 grams of TNT made by the Soviet Union to a mixed explosive of 40 grams of ammonium nitrate explosives and 15 grams of TNT. Although the power is not as large as that of the Soviet Union, the killing range is also more than 20 meters.
Coupled with the weight of more than a pound, not to mention a woman without any military training. Even men with a weaker system and less strength are not necessarily safe. So Li He finally gave her two wooden-handled grenades with a killing range of seven meters made by the Anti-Union themselves, at least don't let her blow herself up. I'd better leave that thing to my own troops.
It's just that Li He, who is afraid that this quite beautiful female guide in front of him, used the F grenade made by the Anti-Union himself, and he blew himself up. Only a few months later, as U.S. aid began to arrive. The first standard equipment eliminated by the Anti-Japanese Federation was the kind of bulky and somewhat overpowered imitation Soviet-made F grenade, which was changed to a comprehensive imitation of the American-made MK II grenade.
Even the original stock of this kind of grenade was replaced by a lighter American-style fuse. As a special grenade for scouts, it is not distributed to ordinary combat units. Although the American MK grenade is not small, at least it is not as bulky as the Soviet-style grenade.
On the contrary, the wooden-handled grenades, which were originally intended to be eliminated together, continued to be produced because of the strong needs of the troops and the simple production process. Four wooden-handled grenades per fighter, and two to four imitation American-made grenades became standard. Of course, this is already a later story, and it is not something that Li He can understand at the moment.
Listening to the five big and three rough and fierce anti-United Nations officers in front of her, but like an old woman who was as worried as an old woman, this girl took the grenade and pistol he handed over, and after fiddling with it for a while to get familiar with it, although she didn't say anything, she looked at Li He in front of her and pursed her lips.
It's just that the smile of this very beautiful girl, although it is like a spring breeze, is obviously a pearl. Li He, who was now focused on the battle, didn't see her flower-like smile at all. Besides, the black light is blind, even if Li Hexiang looks at it, he can't see anything.
Even in the midst of a private house, no one dares to light the lamp at this time. And for ordinary people, although Liaocheng is connected to electric lights, the burden of electricity bills is still a heavy pressure. Ordinary people are not willing to be like later generations, and even the electric lights are turned on all day and all night. At night, most areas are black-lit, except for the main arterial roads with street lights. Although his gaze had adapted to the night, Li He could not necessarily see the slightest flower-like smile clearly.
After explaining all the precautions to the guide, Li He, for the sake of prudence, quietly climbed onto the roof of a house under the cover of the dense branches of a big tree. Under the cover of the ridge and the flares fired by the Japanese troops, he carefully observed the enemy situation on the other side of the street.
The narrow spacing between the alleys restricts his line of sight. As the military commander of the unit, before the attack is launched, he must carefully and comprehensively observe the enemy situation on the opposite side as much as possible. It's just that the longer he observes, the more closely he looks, the deeper his brow furrows.
It turned out that the general observation hidden in the alley was not comprehensive. Now he found out that the positions of the Japanese troops in front of him were not only as seen on the surface, but also on the roofs of many houses behind him and at the corners of the streets. The number of them is much larger than I originally expected.
Not to mention that its entire fire range can block the entire street, it can deploy heavy machine guns and grenadiers on the roofs of two relatively tall houses opposite, which can cover the alley where it is currently located. This small north-south street is not wide, but at most five or six meters wide. The Japanese army's frontage was mainly facing north and south, but they did not relax their vigilance in the residential area opposite.
In every alley in its depth, you can see the fire points of the Japanese army. And facing every alley on this side, there are machine guns, grenadiers, and riflemen to blockade it. And at such a close distance, the Japanese army could even throw grenades lightly into the mouths of various alleys.
The original Zheng'er Bajing Hutong is not here, but in the north and east. At present, these alleys facing the west and southwest directions are just consciously left for walking when the houses were first built. Although there are many entrances and exits, none of them are wide. The width of the alley on the instructor's side is less than one meter, and it can only accommodate one person in and out.
Although the mouth of the alley on my side is wider, it is not more than one and a half meters. At most, it can only accommodate one person pushing a bicycle to pass guò, and it is quite difficult for two people to pass guò. In this case, there was no need to even use machine guns, and the Japanese only had to fire two rifles cross. With the shooting level of the Japanese army, at such a close distance, it was completely possible to block their own troops in the alley and not rush out.
There are walls on both sides of the alley, and there is nowhere to hide. No matter how fast your rifle fires, it can't take advantage of any counter-fire. Now there are only three rockets in his hand, plus the 57 recoilless guns on the instructor's side, he can only knock out a few firepower points in the most critical position first, but even if he knocks out the most critical firepower points, it cannot completely lift the Japanese army on the opposite ridge and blockade this side. The most important thing is that the house opposite is significantly better than this one. All the houses are blue brick structures, and I don't know if it's because of the terrain, it's still higher than my side. Standing on the opposite side of the house, you can see almost unobstructed view of this side with the help of flares.
And he found that although the small street in front of him was only four or five meters wide, there was a street about a hundred meters to the south. Judging from the dense gunfire coming from the street on the south side, Li He judged that there were his own troops advancing there. Although it is not known how many troops participated in the war over there.
This is almost the only good news that Li He has come up with after his observation. Confronting the Japanese troops on this street, at least most of their attention will be drawn to the fighting on the main road to the south, so that they can leave themselves some opportunities to take advantage of. But on the other hand, judging from the fact that the Japanese army did not reinforce to the south, the Japanese army will pay more attention to the defense of this side.
It is obvious that the Japanese army in front of him and the Japanese army in front of the street to the south form a complete defensive line, and if the Japanese army on that side is defending the front, the Japanese army on this side should be acting as a flank protection plus a reserve. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use so many troops for the protection of a single flank.
Judging by the number of firing points observed in the telescopes and exposed to flares and searchlights alone, there were at least a hundred Japanese troops in front of them. And the Japanese troops who were secretly hidden and had not yet been exposed were not counted. When the two items are combined, the number of Japanese troops in front of them is only a lot more than himself. Without the function of a reserve, it would be impossible to put so many troops on this side.
Going down to the bottom of the house, Li He turned his head to look at the girl who led the way and said, "Why is the terrain here so strange, the house opposite seems to be a little higher than this side?" Our attack from this side turned out to be a back-attack. Grandma's devil deployed so much firepower on the roof opposite, let's hit that one and stabbed the hornet's nest. ”
Hearing Li He's question, the girl said: "The location we are standing in now was originally not in the urban area but outside the city, and later it was expanded into the urban area after the expansion of Tongliao City. The houses we came to before were old little streets, and the terrain was a little lower than in the city. And the houses on the other side of this street are the original old town when the city was really built. ”
"Where we are now is where the old street base meets the old town, and where it is close to the old city walls. Behind us all the way to the east, except for the house of the Liu family, the largest wealthy family here, all of which were built by the common people who moved over. ”
"And over there are houses built by the rich people in the city, which are naturally much better and stronger than those here. After passing the street in front of you, you can really enter the old Tongliao City. From here to the south, there are Halal Hutong and Xinkai Hutong. The situation over there is better than here, not as dense as the houses of the poor people here. ”
For this girl's answer, Li He frowned, although he was afraid that it was a hard bone in front of him, but he did not hesitate to say to the platoon cadres beside him: "There is no turning back from the bow, we have already arrived here, we must not withdraw again." Our anti-coalition forces have always only moved forward, not retreated. ”
"There should be about seven such alley exits on this street within a distance of one hundred and fifty meters to the left and right of us so far. There is also a wider one, with an exit of about three meters. So I and the instructor split into two ways, and the instructor led all three companies through that exit. After we started, they quickly walked to the west of the road to guò. ”
"His current position was taken by the second shift in the first platoon. In each of the other alleys, we put up a reinforcement squad, and gave me all the machine guns, rocket launchers, and recoilless guns on the roof, and the 12 mm machine gun we carried. After the battle began, the machine guns had to suppress the Japanese fire points at the intersection and the T-junction, covering the troops to quickly rush through the intersection. ”
"The bazooka hand and the recoilless gun are going to knock out the Japanese heavy machine-gun fortifications on the ridges of the opposite houses for me as soon as the machine guns are fired. My plan was for our side to start first, and the instructors were coming out three minutes after we started. ”
"After the instructor's troops rushed over, we listened to my signals. After a green flare, the troops did not stop, and rushed over as fast as possible to get mixed up with the devils. As for the three companies led by the instructor, don't stop and immediately force me to the southwest. As for us, we will first deal with the enemy forces in front of us and create conditions for them. ”
