Bright Sword: Heiyunzhai was closed at the beginning

Chapter 226 Assault!

Head Liu felt his scalp tingling.

In his original thinking, he also believed that when the cavalry charged, the infantry was almost unmatched.

But now he discovered that he had never encountered infantry like Gao Jianwu's before, and the firepower of hundreds of machine guns was definitely a dead zone for cavalry!
Head Liu suddenly recalled the scene when Gao Jianwu's commando's automatic firepower was fighting cavalry. At this moment, compared with the array of hundreds of machine guns, it really pales in comparison.

The machine gun jungle is the biggest natural enemy of the cavalry charge!

If the machine guns did not show their power against the cavalry in the past, it was because their number of machine guns was not enough. When the number accumulated to the number of infantry under Gao Jianwu's command, it would be a joke for cavalry to charge invincibly. For this kind of machine gun The array is completely direct food delivery!

Head Liu looked a little lost for a moment.

The end of the cavalry era came earlier than he thought.

"Commander Liu, Commander Liu! I'll leave it to you now!" Gao Jianwu kept staring at the situation on the field, seeing that after Zhao Dalei and the others successfully thwarted Kojima Youjie's charge, the remaining two or three hundred little devils The cavalry began to flee in all directions, and turned to Commander Liu and said.

"Cavalry regiment! Charge!" Head Liu woke up like a dream, and was surprised by Gao Jianwu's cry. He pulled out his sword and slashed forward, shouting loudly to ride his horse and rush out first!

"Kill!" All the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment immediately roared, drawing their swords and galloping their horses. Although their formation was not neat enough, and even the specifications of their weapons and swords were not uniform, when they drew their swords and attacked at this moment, they immediately burst out with a kind of selfishness. Invincible courage to die!

They didn't even bother to use guns to deal with their opponents, but chose to use swords to have a cold weapon duel with the little devil!

For these problems of the cavalry, Gao Jianwu has nothing to do. In his eyes, of course, how to effectively deal with the enemy is the kingly way. The best situation is that the cavalry regiment has a submachine gun and a twenty-gun, so that these swordsmen The little devil was dealt with without a chance to get close.

But the cavalry has their cavalry tradition and persistence, Gao Jianwu can only let them go for the time being.

Abandoning the battle of the cavalry, and returning to the entire battlefield, a three-dimensional map emerged again. Gao Jian generals the enemy's positions on the map one by one to anchor the target, and quickly determined the best position of the Shanpao Battalion.

In that area, Gao Jianwu began to choose a suitable position for the Shanpao Battalion, and soon found an open space behind the building complex.

Gao Jianwu commanded the Mountain Artillery Battalion to occupy the area behind the building complex, where the little devils could not directly observe the building, but Gao Jianwu or the artillery reconnaissance commander could observe the enemy's situation from other places and shoot the soldiers for the artillery quasi-calibration.

The infantry artillery battalion continued to follow the infantry, and now it was more than 3 kilometers away from the little devil's position, and the range of the [-] infantry artillery was not enough.

Only follow the infantry to undertake forward support firepower.

Gao Jianwu glanced around, looked at a house next to him, asked Song Tiecheng and the others to use a human wall to put him on the roof, and slowly climbed to the highest point. He could see all the kilometers ahead, as a commander , There is no better point than here to see the overall situation, and today he is nailed to direct here.

Song Tiecheng and the others then sent the walkie-talkie communicators up one by one, and followed Gao Jianwu.

From this position, you can see most of the little devil's battlefield, but the remaining weapons of the little devil, whether it is the [-] infantry artillery or the heavy machine gun, are all a bit out of reach. For Gao Jianwu, this is really An excellent observation point.

The chief of staff of the liaison officer thought that Gao Jianwu and the others did not have mountain artillery, so when the general offensive started, the action was even more anxious, and they went all out when they started.

Wuge's Shanpao Battalion is in the middle of a main force regiment, driving mules and horses to the edge of the forest and stopping to expand its position. It is about 1 kilometers away from the main battlefield, which is the best position for Shanpao to exert its strength.

The remaining five main regiments sent out a charge formation and charged directly towards the little devil's position.

They came at the right time, the little devil's cavalry regiment had just been slaughtered by Zhao Dalei and the cavalry regiment, so the only ground force that could threaten the Shanpao battalion was gone.

The distance of 5 kilometers may take half an hour for ordinary people, but for the Eighth Route fighters with iron feet, even if they are fully armed, it takes more than 20 minutes now. At about 2 kilometers, the small steel artillery company of the regiment began to start in an orderly manner Now, each regiment is equipped with 12 90mm small steel guns and more than 200 rounds of shells. This is the first time for them to fight so richly.

Now the equipment in everyone's hands is not inferior to that of the little devil's field troops. Whether they are veterans or newcomers, all of them are holding back their energy. The artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions are deployed one by one. The mortars were first guided by the forward artillery to wash the ground, and after destroying the firepower of the heavy machine guns in the little devil's position, and then covering the front with shelling, the assault company began to attack.

The first echelon advanced alternately, and the second echelon used machine gun fire to cover it. It was the first time that the defending little devils encountered such fierce artillery fire from the Eighth Route, and shivered in the trenches one by one.

Those little devils who mixed in from the engineering unit and the logistics unit felt like the end was coming, with their guns in their hands, their heads went blank.

Only those squadron leaders and squad leaders dared to quietly observe the movement. The hidden grenade launchers were also a group of veterans. They stared at each other's machine guns and quietly aimed in the trenches.

Compared with throwing grenades, the range and accuracy of grenades are much higher in the hands of veterans.

The assault company's operations quickly suffered losses. Several grenades landed next to the machine gunners of the first echelon and second echelon of the Jinsui assault company. Guide the shelling, send the 90mm mortar shells to the trenches, and all the little devils within a few meters around will be taken away by a wave!
The positional warfare on the northern front began with bloody fighting as soon as the battle was fought.

But as the artillery positions of the Shanpao Battalion were completed and the artillery observers sent to the front line began to indicate targets, the speed at which the little devil's positions collapsed began to accelerate.

It was already very difficult to deal with the 90mm mortars belonging to the regiment. The artillery brigade gathered by the little devil stared at the mortar company on the Eighth Road for counter-bombing. But once the deployment of the Shanpao Battalion was completed, the artillery position of the little devil was the first target. Even if the gap between the new artillery observer and Gao Jianwu is a bit large, after two or three rounds of test firing, it is still not a problem to find the target.

To make matters worse, the little devil soon discovered that in addition to the overwhelming mortars on the northern and southern fronts, there were also more groundwashing from the Shanpao Battalion and the [-]nd Infantry Artillery Battalion!

In Xiangcheng Xian'er's binoculars, the battlefield is full of artillery dispatched by opponents!
Koto Kazuki apparently also discovered the same problem, the two watched for a while, let go of the binoculars, and saw the despair in each other's eyes!

At least more than 100 artillery pieces of various types have been used on the Eighth Road side. How can the field positions outside the city be defended?
As long as the opponent's shells are not fired a few times, the battle has entered a countdown, and even the 41st Division cannot save it.

How to do?
What should we do now?
For the first time, the top executives of the two little devils felt the gloom of life.

"Is it time to send a farewell telegram?" Xiangcheng Xianer asked. "How much time do we have left to send this telegram?"

Surrender is impossible to surrender, Xiangcheng Xianji didn't even think about escaping at this moment.

He has lost too much on the battlefield. Whether he escapes or not, his fate is already doomed. If he dies on the battlefield, he is still qualified to write his name on the sacred toilet.

"No, we still have the last chance of life." Gumen Kazuki's eyes burst out with the last flame, and he stared at the north.

"Our fighter planes should be coming soon. As long as they discover and destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route, then there is still a chance of holding on until the arrival of the 41st Division!"

As if confirming Gumen Kazuki's words, several small black spots appeared in the sky tens of kilometers away in the north!

"It's our air force fighter plane coming! Mr. Xiangcheng, we can still rescue it!" Komon Kazuki said excitedly after observing with a telescope for a while.

Gao Jianwu is also paying attention to the movement in the sky all the time. Without air superiority and anti-aircraft weapons, it is too frustrating.

As soon as the little devil's fighter plane appeared, Gao Jianwu immediately called the Shanpao Battalion and the [-]nd Infantry Artillery Battalion to start camouflaging the battlefield!And the mortar companies belonging to each regiment are all required to be dispersed, transferred and hidden!

I have been hit by the little devil's fighter planes many times. Whether it is the Ping'an cluster, the main regiment of Jinsui District, or even the cavalry regiment, they are now very experienced and start to disperse the troops, so as not to give the little devil a chance to shoot aerial bombs!

"Counterattack! Take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack immediately!" Gumen Kazuki immediately suggested to Xiangcheng Xianji when he heard the sound of eight artillery guns on the battlefield suddenly go silent. "Concentrate our forces on the north and south lines to counterattack a wave and strive for results!"

If it was a regular field infantry brigade, Koto Kakki's suggestion at this moment could be described as extremely correct, and he could completely use this opportunity of the opponent's artillery fire to fire a wave of beautiful counterattacks to kill a large number of the opponent's vital forces.

"Mr. Gumen, we are powerless to fight back." Xiangcheng Xianer said with a wry smile, "I estimate that at least a quarter of the staff was lost in the shelling just now. What the Wing has supplemented, whether it is the technical and tactical level of combat or the will to fight, is far behind the field infantry brigade."

Gumen Kazuki slapped his forehead and immediately realized that he hadn't rested for the past two days, and his brain was already a little hard to use.In Gao Jianwu's fatigue battle, the first person to be dragged down was their division chief of staff!

However, the little devils on the front line took advantage of this opportunity to not be completely idle. Under the supervision of the basic squadron leader and squad leader, they began to repair and improve the fortifications to a certain extent, adding partitions to avoid shells.

In this way, they can better survive under the bombardment of shells in the new round of attack.
