Chapter 21: Shelling
Nyerere left with more than a hundred bandits he had personally trained for months, and Yang Xiaolin remained in Sui Bing's team. With him here, the bandits really calmed down a lot, and the name of Yang Fighting Ghost could have given them confidence, and they took advantage of this effort to build those tunnels that were not strong, hoping to withstand the attack of the Russian heavy artillery at that time.
The platoon commanders who led the team were also old bandits who came out of the war, and they all knew that it was too late to dig now, so they made some articles from the inside and outside of the tunnel, strengthened some of them, and dug another exit for those tunnels with only one entrance and exit, which didn't need to be too big, as long as the air flow inside the tunnel could have a circulation when it was subjected to human shells. Also, build a simple shed outside the tunnel entrance, and if it doesn't work, block a bluestone slab to avoid enemy shells exploding directly on the tunnel.
While the bandits were preparing, the Russians were also preparing for the attack. As soon as the troops in the street signaled for help, 5,000 Russian troops gathered and surrounded Tukanzitun from all sides.
The lieutenant colonel of the Russian army, who had fought the contact battle with Yang Xiaolin at the beginning, stood in front of Major General Gulegrevich and said very crampedly: "General, my troops have been blocked by them, and the casualties are very large, and they have artillery and heavy machine guns in their hands, and the number is about 1,500 people, I dare not rashly launch an attack." ”
Major General Gulegrevich took a look through his binoculars at the inside of Tukanzitun, and from his point of view, except for the two heavy machine guns found at the door, the situation inside the tunzi was not visible at all! This shows that the opponent has a certain amount of military knowledge.
He put down the binoculars: "Lieutenant Colonel, you are doing a very good job!" I believe that the bandits in front of you should be a group under Yang Dagui, and their regiment commander is called Sui Bing, who is Yang Dagui's most trusted unit, and is quite combative! I think you've got him, now let's kill him! ”
When the lieutenant colonel heard the major general say this, he put a stone in his heart, he thought that the setback of his progress would inevitably be punished for dragging the whole army back, but he didn't expect the general to say that he had done a good job!
The corners of Guregrevich's mouth raised a smile: "If nothing else, I believe that we will start the first war of annihilation of the whole army, that is, we will harvest the first prey, Lieutenant Colonel, if I give you this glorious task, are you sure?" ”
The lieutenant colonel immediately saluted: "Thank you for the trust of the general, I am willing to take my subordinates to exterminate this bandit!" ”
Gulegrevich was very satisfied with the attitude of the lieutenant colonel: "Okay, then you can prepare, in five minutes I will carry out ten minutes of artillery fire on the target, open a way for your victory, and leave the rest to you." ”
The lieutenant colonel said loudly: "Yes! ”
Five minutes later, the artillery positions in the rear were prepared, and the soldiers in front also pushed out the small cannons that attacked at close range, Yang Xiaolin knew that the attack was about to start after seeing the Russians' action with a telescope, and hurriedly commanded the bandits to retreat into those tunnels that had been prepared or not prepared, and only put two squads outside to be on guard.
As soon as the bandits got underneath, the Russians hit the artillery! Ten minutes of shelling is nothing for a war, especially for the Russian army, which often shells for half an hour and an hour in battles with Western countries, and these ten minutes are obviously a bit pediatric.
Ten minutes of artillery fire destroyed almost all the houses in the tunzi, and some of the simple fortifications that the bandits had just built were also blown to pieces, and after the artillery fire was over, many people hiding in the tunnels were killed. Some of the tunnels were directly blown up and collapsed, some were shocked to death by air waves, and even some shells were very coincidentally hit through the hole! …,
By the time the artillery fire had stopped, the Russians had charged, and a group of more than 100 people could no longer come out of the tunnel. However, the bandits who came out quickly rushed to the front position under the leadership of Yang Xiaolin and Sui Bing.
When Yang Xiaolin jumped into the trench, he saw the Russian attack force stop more than 500 meters in front of him, and then a Russian commander shouted: "Ula! ”
A team of more than 200 Russian troops rushed over with rifles: "Ula! ”
Sui Bing's eyes lit up: "General, our iron bucket can hit them now, do you want to give them a few hits?" ”
Yang Xiaolin shook his head, the power of the conscience cannon is too great, if he hits a few explosives bags, these Russians who rush over will definitely be half killed, and they will retreat, which is not a good thing for themselves.
He needed long enough time between the first and second shelling by the Russians for Nyerere to find the Russians' heavy artillery positions and take him out. Judging by the trajectory of the heavy shells of the Russians just now, their heavy artillery position should be five kilometers away!
Yang Xiaolin stared at the Russians who rushed over, and said softly: "Tell my brothers, put this group of Russians fifty meters in front of the position, so that they will feel that they can break through our defense line by sending a little more people!" ”
Sui Bing nodded, and immediately patted a brother beside him: "Tell a platoon, let them fight with these Russians, and the rest of the brothers are not allowed to shoot!" ”
According to Yang Xiaolin's establishment, a platoon has four squads, about eighty people, each squad has a heavy machine gun, and the firepower is quite strong, so when these Russians rushed to a hundred meters, the bandits suddenly opened fire, although Sui Bing hid Liliang, but more than two hundred Russians still fell dozens of them in the gunfire!
At this time, it was obvious that the Russians were strong, and the rest did not retreat, but continued to attack forward in various postures, and at the same time, the small cannons in front of the Russian army also began to shoot in the direction of the heavy machine guns. The fire from the muzzle of the heavy machine gun was very noticeable, which gave the Russians an obvious target, and a few shells came and smashed two machine guns!
The bandits' artillery fire also returned fire, this time the 76-millimeter guns they used made by the Russians, and the shells followed the Russians' shells to the positions of the Russian army! It's a pity that the artillery battle of the bandits Jishu is really not good, ten shells were fired, only two hit the target, and the rest were either far away or close.
An artillery shell exploded not far from Major General Gulegrevich, and the Russian officers around him were a little panicked: "General, you can retreat a little, we can command the battle here!" ”
Gulegrevich pushed away the Russian officer who was pulling him: "There's nothing to worry about, you can see their level by looking at the landing point of their shells, don't worry, they can't hurt me." You see, our lads have already rushed to their positions, and fifty meters further we will be able to break through their lines! ”
A colonel immediately came over and said, "General, do you want to invest in the troops?" ”
Gulegrevich shook his head: "We don't have to worry about this problem, the lieutenant colonel in front will do haode, what you have to do now is to order your soldiers to get ready, once the lieutenant colonel breaks through the bandits' defense, your troops must follow immediately!" ”
The lieutenant colonel's style of play is obviously the same as that of the Russian commanders who are watching the battle now, and he also thinks that a little more support may be able to make a breakthrough, so he sent a team of 500 people up at the moment.
To the dismay of the Russians, the fifty meters seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle, and it seemed as if it could be broken through at any time, but the troops continued to invest, and the firepower of the bandits increased little by little. …,
Fifteen minutes passed, and Major General Gulegrevich finally saw that something was wrong, and these bandits were obviously stalling for time! They are organizing a counterattack based on the forces they have put in! He didn't know what the benefit of delaying time would be for the bandits, but war was like this, the enemy wanted to do it, and he just didn't want him to do it!
The major general put down his binoculars and began to direct the battle: "Order all the troops in front to fight, and the second stormtrooper is ready to keep up at any time!" ”
The lieutenant colonel at the front received the order and rushed up with more than a thousand people!
Yang Xiaolin looked at the time, from the beginning of the shelling to now, it should have been twenty-seven minutes! It's almost time! At the moment, he said to Sui Bing: "Ready! ”
The various firepower in the tunzi immediately raised its own muzzle, the bullets came to the court, the grenade unscrewed the cap, the bayonet was placed at the side, and the pistol was pulled apart.
The Russians on the opposite side pounced like a tsunami, and while shooting at the place, they kept shouting: "Ula! ”
One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters!
Yang Xiaolin's hand waved down violently: "Fight!" ”
The bandits began to shoot frantically with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and the grenades flew out one after another, and at the same time, the artillerymen in the tunzi also received orders to tell them not to skimp on the shells, because they were about to break through, and there was no way for these Russian artillery to rush out.
This really shocked the Russians! Not only were the charging Russian soldiers blinded, but even the generals who were watching the battle from behind couldn't believe their eyes! The firepower of these bandits is so fierce, and the heavy machine guns are obviously more equipped than the Russian troops!
Watching the soldiers in front of him fall in pieces under the fire of the bandits, Gulegrevich realized that he had made a small mistake! Some despise their opponents. However, this mistake does not seem to have any impact on the big picture. This is the advantage of hunting, surround the prey, and if you can't hit one shot, you can calmly shoot a second shot!
It was already impossible to rush forward with the ranks of the lieutenant colonel, and in order to avoid unnecessary damage, Gulegrevich ordered all the attacking troops to retreat.
"It seems that we underestimated our opponents, it doesn't matter, let's do it again. Let's get our artillery ready, and after five minutes shelling again, this time, twenty minutes! ”
Twenty minutes of shelling, this means that not to mention a tunzi, even a slightly smaller fortress can be destroyed! Yang Xiaolin knew that the critical time had come, first of all, he had to withstand this round of shelling by the Russians! (Ask for a recommendation ticket!) )
