795. Stalemate

Mt. Cheonmo is about 20 kilometers north of Kaesong, about 8 kilometers northwest of Geumcheon, and about 10 kilometers west of Gyeongui Railway (Seoul-Sinuiju Railway, the little devil calls Seoul the capital of the city. ๏ผ‰

In other words, Mt. Tenmo in the east, Jijing-ri on the railroad in the west, and Jincheon on the railway in the north form a triangle in this place.

Mt. Timosan is the only commanding height, not only guarding the Jejeong-ri and Geumcheon sections of the Gyeongui Railway, but also directly attacking Kaesong to the south, which is a key part that can be attacked and defended by retreat.

This place also has shortcomings, just like the street pavilion in Ma Tan Town. If there is no flank cover, it is likely that the position is too prominent to be surrounded by the enemy, and then the railway becomes a thoroughfare.

Of course, Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, Shi Liancheng, and Liu Zhiliang are not Ma Yan, so it is naturally impossible to make Tianmo Mountain a Jedi.

So as soon as the little devil moved, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Machine Gun Regiment had already inserted itself eastward from Leaky River, and the strength of a company had already been deployed in Jijing, blocking the railway line and the road on the east bank of the Licheng River.

In the blink of an eye, the only passage for the little devil to attack Jinchuan along the railway and go around to the north of Tianmo Mountain was cut off.

Tianmo Mountain is more than 400 meters above sea level, and it was originally the southwest remnant of the Ahu Feiling Mountain Range, so the Ahu Feiling Mountain Range in the northeast of Tianmo Mountain is the defense line of Liu Zhiliang's Feilong Third Division. The neighbor of Tianmoshan is the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Machine Gun Regiment of the 3rd Division.

In other words, Tianmo Mountain is a prominent part of Bai Shujie's entire defense line, and it is also the junction of Shi Liancheng's first division and Liu Zhiliang's third division.

Both of these guys knew that due south was Seoul, the capital of North Korea and the first target to be captured in the future.

So the two of them thought of going together, and placed one of their iron fists, that is, the machine gun regiment, on the east and west wings of Tianmo Mountain.

Don't look at the usual brothers, just wear a pair of pants. Once they received the order from the boss Bai Shujie to raid south, these two guys must have scrambled to move forward desperately. Strive to take the great credit of occupying the enemy's capital into their own hands, and then turn around and despise the other party to the point that it is worthless.

The 1st Machine Gun Regiment and the 3rd Machine Gun Regiment add up to more than 4,900 people, 700 light machine guns, 144 recoilless guns, and 144 howitzers.

If you look down from the sky, Tianmo Mountain is an arrowhead, and the first and third divisions spread out on both flanks to form a huge array of wild goose feathers, pointing straight at Kaesong and Seoul!

If the little devils want to continue to threaten Pyongyang in the north, there is no way to use their best bullshit tactics of "outflanking on both flanks and breaking through in the center" except for a frontal attack.

Because if the little devil bypasses Tianmo Mountain, tears the defense line from the east and west sides and rushes north, then Tianmo Mountain is just on the way of the little devil's retreat, and naturally forms a trend of closing the door and beating the dog. This is a taboo for soldiers, and it is also basic common sense.

can be a captain and command more than 1,000 people, and the little devil of Kikyo Yongzhi Shaozuo is not a fool.

Since you can't get around, you can only fight now. If you can't take Tianmo Mountain, it's like a fart to say that you want to go north and sweep Pyongyang.

Unexpectedly, a squadron went up to attack a small hill, and in less than an hour, a telegram of "requesting tactical guidance" was sent, which made Kikyo Yuzhi Shaozo so angry that he almost vomited blood:

"Yaga! The warriors of the empire have made great achievements in China, and it is already a great shame for us to sweep away local forces in the rear. Now there is even a need for tactical guidance, the face of the Imperial Japanese Army to the Pacific Ocean? โ€

Anger is anger, and it is urgent to lead a large army up to "conduct tactical guidance". The two squads sent out this morning have not been in contact so far, and it is estimated that they are "almost". If one more squadron is lost, this captain of his own group should be off class and on vacation.

Kikyo Yushi Shaoza led the large force of three squadrons to the south of Tianmo Mountain, and it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon of November 15. The sun is about to set in the west, and the early winter dusk is already slowly falling.

"Your Excellency, the enemy's firepower is too fierce." The squadron leader who served as the vanguard team was full of smoke and dust: "The enemy here is very strange, their machine guns always fire at 400 meters. We have never met such an adversary, nor have we seen such weapons and equipment. โ€

"We launched three charges, and each time the enemy delivered a covering blow with dozens of machine guns, not caring at all about the consumption of bullets. The attacking forces were finally pinned down at a distance of about 300 meters from the enemy positions, the machine gunners and grenadiers were all killed, and now only the riflemen remained. โ€

"Nani?" When Kikyo Yongzhi Shaozo heard this, he looked at the dozens of corpses on the hillside with a telescope, and sure enough, all of them were lying halfway up the mountain, and they didn't even rush up to the middle line. Especially on the mountain, there was a calm, as if there was no one, and one of his hearts suddenly sank:

"For more than 30 years, North Korea has been peaceful. Except for the occasional bandit or two, there were no formed enemies at all. We left the DPRK less than half a year, when did such troops appear? โ€

The squadron leader who had lost the battle had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Excellency, in order for you to be able to grasp the whole situation, I am organizing a charge. โ€

With a clatter, he pulled out his command knife, and the squadron leader howled: "Target: the enemy's hilltop position, kill the trumpet-" and then rushed to the hill with the first soldier.

There is no way, knowing that if you rush up, you may not be able to come back, but the military order is like a mountain. The more than 100 remnants of the little devils lying at the foot of the mountain got up, held their rifles, pouted their buttocks, and slowly arched up the mountain.

The commander of the third company on the top of the mountain was lying in the bunker, constantly chewing a piece of grass in his mouth: "Observation post, do you see clearly, is the enemy's main force all here?" โ€

The so-called observation post is a squad leader: "There are about three squadrons a little more, plus the remaining squadrons, it should be an integrated brigade." Now that this crippled squadron is rushing up with rifles, do they feel impatient to live? โ€

"Say you don't have knowledge, you're still not convinced! This is to expose all our firepower, so that the main forces behind can engage in intrigues. โ€

The commander of the third company lay there motionless, as if he was a bystander in this battle: "Order the brothers: put away two-thirds of the machine guns and use 12 machine guns in a platoon." Open fire and don't let the enemy get within three hundred meters! โ€

All 12 machine guns were fired in short bursts, with a crisp sound and a clear rhythm, as if playing a piano.

"Fuck it, now that the adults have come out, this little bunny cub still has a dry ball!"

The commander of the third company finally got up, and while scolding, he reached out and grabbed his own machine gun beside him, pulled the bolt to the single-shot position, and stabilized the front bracket, and the muzzle of the gun was already shaking at the squadron leader who was constantly wielding the command knife.

This machine gun is quirky, with a 40-round magazine underneath, which is the same as any other machine gun. But there was a scope mounted on it, and this kind of machine gun looked very strange in this era.

After about five or six seconds, the commander of the third company finally pulled the trigger, the machine gun shook slightly, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the muzzle.

The squadron leader, who was wielding a command knife about three hundred meters below the mountain, finally completed his mission, then threw away the command knife and rolled down the hill with a grunt.

One shot to get the big picture, all the attacking little devils shouted, and suddenly the wolf bรจi fled. Once again, more than a dozen corpses were left behind, including their squadron leader, and this round of attack was hastily closed.

The commander of the third company slapped his machine gun, and his mouth was still not clean: "I'm cฤo!" When he first started to change clothes, Lao Tzu still felt that the installation of a scope on the machine gun was pure nonsense. I didn't think this thing was much better than a rifle! โ€

The commander of the third company turned over and lay down in the bunker again, as if this battlefield had nothing to do with him again.

The rest of the things, such as the enemy retreating, checking the consumption of ammunition, the casualties of the soldiers, monitoring the enemy's movements, repairing the fortifications, etc., are the responsibility of the deputy company commander. The company commander has nothing to do, so it is better to lie down and close his eyes.

In fact, because many people in this era have never even heard of the term sniper, let alone the concepts of "heavy sniper" and "light sniper", let alone the theory of "anti-materiel gun", naturally no one has studied it yet.

Therefore, the vast majority of fighters do not know that this light machine gun with a scope is actually a 7.62 caliber "light sniper". The target of the strike is the enemy's vital parts at a distance of 400-600 meters.

A 12.7 caliber heavy machine gun with a scope is actually a "heavy sniper", which mainly hits important targets at a distance of 800-1500 meters.

Bai Shujie equipped each combat company with 4 "light snipers", with a strike distance of 600-800 meters. Of course, it does not explain any sniper concept, but tells them that a single shot is more accurate than a rifle.

A special bullet painted with oil red paint is capable of taking out enemy armored vehicles at a distance of 400 meters, and also a tank of imps at a distance of 240 meters.

It is for this reason that the company commander of each company, the commander of 3 platoons, has in his hands a light machine gun with a scope. The specific command of the light machine gun to strike at the enemy is the business of the deputy company commander, and the deputy platoon commander mainly assists the deputy company commander in directing the light machine gun and at the same time directs the assault rifle.

The task of the company commander and the three platoon commanders was to use the special machine gun in their hands to fire a tracer bullet at the right time to calibrate the other light machine guns.

If they come across an enemy armored vehicle or an important target, the four of them are snipers. And, of course, the combat mission of staring at the enemy's heavy machine guns, infantry guns, mortars, at which point they will leave the defensive positions and then make a detour to the enemy's flank to cause trouble.

Compared with the original Rehe Front, the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force formed by Bai Shujie has more clear responsibilities for each person and a clearer combat level for the team.

In this regard, Bai Shujie absorbed the combat grouping mode of the US military in later generations, and at the same time further improved it in combination with the various weapons developed by himself.

To achieve this, it is necessary to have a fully matched weapon system that can be reasonably matched in the distance, medium and near range. If the equipment of the troops belongs to the Universal Exposition, then don't say anything.

Each of the four field divisions of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force has a machine gun regiment, and the 2nd and 3rd companies of each machine gun battalion are light machine gun companies. The 1st company is a heavy machine gun company, that is, a heavy sniper. Their combat duty, either anti-aircraft operations, or against the enemy's armored assault groups.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
