General Akpolier, of course, knew that the artillery fire would not cause a large number of casualties to the Volunteers, and he wanted to destroy the fortifications of the Volunteers, including the trenches that he could see, as well as the bunkers, mines, and trenches that he could not see.

The general knew the Volunteers too well, and the Volunteers' defense system, especially the hill defense system, had already been taught by Akeberil. To kill these people, their workers must be destroyed beforehand! Anyway, the supplies of the Russian troops for this battle are quite sufficient.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Akberil was sure that the fortifications on the opposite side were largely non-existent, and he was ready for the soldiers to charge, and the artillery fire slowly stopped.

The soldiers knew that the battle was about to begin, although Lao Maozi's artillery did not hit them, but watching the Russians bombing their positions so unscrupulously, watching the shells rain down on the hills, knowing that the battle had begun but not knowing when they could be put into the battlefield, it was a torment in their hearts.

Now that this torment is finally over, everyone's hearts feel a little relieved. Zhang Chun shook off the dirt poured into his neck, grabbed the rifle in his hand: "Get ready to fight!" ”

A shout came from the mountain: "Old Maozi is up!" O Venerable Master! ”

Then the machine gun from above was already going off. Zhang Chun jumped out of the bunker: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

Fortifications really don't exist anymore. The ferocity of Lao Maozi's artillery fire was beyond Zhang Chun's expectations. But it doesn't matter, the Volunteers have long been trained in this situation, and the craters left by the Russian shells are the most haode fortifications, especially those large craters blown out by heavy shells, and a simple repair is very haode trenches.

Li Erniu's combat group rushed the fastest, and their team consisted of seven people, machine gunners, sub-marksmen, and light machine gunners. The Bombardier, the Sniper, and him and another Sharpcutter. A squad of the Volunteers is divided into two combat groups, and the firepower configuration is also different, one combat group has snipers, and the other combat group is riflemen. Li Erniu's group is a heavy machine gun, and the other group is a cannon without conscience.

They were a little quicker than the other group, the knife man rushing to the front with his rifle in hand, the bombardier following closely behind him, and the two men were responsible for clearing the way for the team. The light machine gunner strafed as he walked, and Li Erniu's position was in the seven people, responsible for carrying the ammunition box.

In fact, carrying an ammunition box, you just let him be fast, he can't be fast, after all, the equipment on his body is more than forty pounds, plus an ammunition box, even if you run with all your strength, it would be good to be able to keep up with the team. Li Erniu's body is very strong, and he can carry two hundred catties away at once.

He really didn't think he could go to war too. In the eyes of these honest croppers, those who carry guns as soldiers are some people who dare to play with their lives, and when Zhao Zhanyuan organized the militia, they were all selected for good health, and then Li Erniu felt that it was a little interesting when he trained. After being a little serious, he heard that if he could get a good result in the militia competition, he could get a reward of two bags of sorghum noodles, so he worked a little harder.

Erniu really didn't know that he had to put on a military uniform when he received sorghum noodles! He's scared to death right now. When he rushed forward, he was in a trance, and he felt as if he was not himself. What made him even more confused was that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble, and he was always unsteady on his feet.

The sharp-edged soldier who had opened the way rushed to a crater in front of the hill and immediately stopped. Half-crouching to shoot the brother behind him, the bombardier also kept throwing grenades in front, and the combat group behind him set up the cannon and fired two explosive packets.

Under their cover, the machine gunners jumped into the pit with their machine guns on their shoulders, and the Russian bullets crackled around them, splashing stones and stones.

After the deputy shooter came in with a machine gun rack, the two people hurriedly began to set up the machine gun, and Li Erniu also jumped down, and rolled twice in the crater when he landed, making his head and face covered with mud.

When his teammates came down, the knife soldier covering them also jumped into the crater, but when his body was falling, a bullet hit his chest and fell straight down.

Li Erniu hurriedly put down the ammunition box and ran to the brother, found that he still had a little breath, and pulled out the gauze from his body and wanted to treat his wound, but the machine gunner shouted: "Leave him alone!" Come and help! ”

Erniu hesitated, he could hear the comrade who fell to the ground whispering for his help, and he was a little at a loss at this time.

The assistant shooter saw that he couldn't come, so he didn't say much, and turned around and moved the ammunition box himself. The light machine gun shooter pulled out a sapper shovel from behind him and began to try to build a simple machine gun emplacement, using the amplitude of the crater itself.

The Russians rushed very fast, and before they had even set up their machine guns, they could already see the hideous face of the guy rushing to the front.

The Russian also saw that they were setting up a machine-gun position, and raised his hand and fired a shot at it. At this time, Erniu found that the brother who was shot had lost his breath, so he immediately rushed to his teammate's side, picked up his rifle and adjusted it slightly, pulled his bolt, aimed his crosshairs at the Russian, and pulled the trigger.

The Russian GI wanted to shoot a second shot, but was hit in the forehead by a shot, and the strong inertia caused his whole body to fall backwards. The Russian GI behind was unaware, and continued to rush forward over his corpse: "Ula! ”

As they charged, more bullets came at them, and the five volunteers in the crater couldn't lift their heads.

Li Erniu's helmet was grazed by a bullet and was a little crooked, but he didn't notice it at all. The body shrunk into the crater and trembled, the hand holding the gun could not be controlled, and it was very difficult for the fingers to put it in the trigger.

He had just seen clearly the Russian man's dying eyes, and he felt as if they were still staring at him. He felt that if he stuck his head out, the bloody head would definitely appear in front of him.

The machine gunner completed the Zuihou step of preparation before the shot, but there was no way to raise the head of the gun.

Seeing that the Russians were no more than thirty meters away from them, it might only take a few seconds to rush to their side. At this time, the bombardier stood up violently, and threw the grenade out as fast as he could.

No sooner had the third grenade been thrown out than the bombardier was hit in the head by a bullet from the opposite side. The whole person fell, and he fell beside Erniu. The smoke from the grenade gave his teammates some cover, and the Heavy quickly raised the head of the gun, not aiming, and swept at the rear of the smoke.

Specks of blood red rose from the smoke. The machine guns in a nearby crater also rang out at this time, although they were not together, but the two machine guns were very tacitly formed a crossfire.

"Erniu! Shoot! Shoot! ”

I didn't know that the brother shouted, Er Niu opened his mouth wide and shouted: "Ah! ”

Then he crawled out of the huddle and lay on the edge of the crater, continuously pulling the trigger of the rifle in his hand! Until the bullet could no longer be shot in the chamber of the gun, he still lay there and kept pulling, shouting with all his strength.

The charging Russian GIs arrived one by one, the momentum of the Russian charge was contained, and more and more volunteers stretched out their guns, aimed at their targets and pulled the trigger!

The deputy shooter had a little time at this time, turned his head and patted Erniu's shoulder: "Good Erniu!" ”

Erniu slowly came back to his senses, and he realized that his gun had long been out of bullets at this time, and it seemed that he had never aimed at it just now. I didn't know that his companion weishenme praised himself, he slowly shrank his body back, his hands were still shaking very badly, and he took out a few bullets and wanted to go up into the chamber of the gun, but this action that he could usually do with his eyes closed was not completed several times.

The first wave of Russian soldiers who rushed over were quickly crushed, and more than a hundred corpses of Russians were left in front of the position.

Akpolir put down his binoculars and frowned tightly, this was only the first round of firefights, but Akburier knew that his opponent was stronger than before! It's not a big deal, he's well prepared.

But what made the general a little puzzled was that the Volunteers didn't fire the cannon just now?

They are not without artillery fire, intelligence says that they even have an artillery division nearby. Moreover, the 11th Division itself also has artillery fire, and it is normal that they did not see artillery fire when they bombarded just now, and they do not like artillery battles. But these guys have always liked to use artillery fire to intercept when the opponent is charging, and such interceptions are short, maybe only a minute or two, and then their artillery position will be shifted to a position to prevent destruction.

Akpolil had been preparing the artillery just now, and the shells did not retreat, as soon as the artillery of the Volunteers fired, he could find the location of the artillery positions of the Volunteers.

But the troops who threw themselves into the charge just now rushed forward as fast as they could, in fact, they were just a little bit close to being close to each other, and the volunteers didn't open fire! They would rather suffer losses than conduct large-scale artillery interceptions, this is not their style of operation.

Akpolil didn't understand what was going on on the other side, frowned and thought for a while: "Order, shell again for an hour, and attack again at 5:20, it is still a small force assault." ”

The Russian combat staff officer was very stunned: "General, if we don't charge with a large group, we may not make progress today." More than 100,000 shells were used on the first day, and the answer to the rear was that we didn't occupy an inch of land. You're going to be at a disadvantage! ”

Akpolir did not think about it: "Colonel! It's enough to think about victory on the battlefield, and I don't want anything else to take my energy! Also, I have to be responsible for the lives of our soldiers, if we don't destroy their artillery fire, the collective charge will only kill us more! ”

The colonel's expression was a little complicated, and finally said, "Yes." (To be continued......)
