Chapter 946: 3 forks
Southeast of Yunshan, Sancha Road.
The road here is a very ordinary country road. To put it plainly, it is a dirt road. The roadside is wasteland and farmland with few buildings. Because of the wide terrain and convenient transportation, it was selected as the meeting point for the retreat of the Eighth Regiment of the US Cavalry.
The second battalion of the Eighth Regiment was the first to retreat here. However, when Lieutenant Colonel Walton, the commander of the battalion, arrived, he only had one heavy firearm company.
"Damn it, these yellow-skinned monkeys are crazy!"
Lieutenant Colonel Walton was the first two, he really did not expect his opponent to dare to penetrate his own depth with weak equipment. According to the information he has received so far, the enemy sent a large number of company platoon troops to constantly test his defense line, and rushed in when he found a gap.
After nine o'clock at night, the moon appears in the sky. Compared with the seclusion in the city, the open environment outside the city allows people to see the blurring situation hundreds of meters away. Colonel Walton's position was full of shadowy people, some of them US troops, some Nanbao soldiers, and some enemies.
For the bold interspersing of volunteer units, the first time the U.S. military encountered this incident was very uncomfortable. Judging from the experience on the European battlefield, shouldn't war be fought? What is it about running around like this?
If a small unit of the US military ran like this, the commander would immediately lose control of the soldiers under his opponent, even if their communication capabilities were much stronger, the situation would become extremely complicated. However, the volunteers obviously did not have such concerns, they were circuitous, interspersed, and tried their best to mingle with the enemy.
Because the enemy was unknown in the night, the position of the second battalion of the US Army was almost breached by a small army of volunteers. However, dozens of grenades were thrown into the position, wounding several American soldiers and lighting a troop truck.
"Shoot all the shells for me. From now on, there will be no restrictions on the use of ammunition." Lieutenant Colonel Walton became fierce, and he ordered the mortars of the heavy firearms to attack with full fire. enemy.
The M16 half-track anti-aircraft is equipped with four M2HB heavy machine guns. This stuff is extremely cruel when it fires. It can interrupt the infantry within hundreds of meters and almost sweep everything.
"Yeah, that's it! Dry this bunch of yellow monkeys." Colonel Walton was relieved by the sound of the guns. He used the M16 anti-aircraft as a fixed fire point, like a sweeping broom. Cleared almost all harassing fire outside Sancha intersection.
In addition to flattening the anti-aircraft, Lieutenant Colonel Walton also successively gathered several tanks. This strengthened his defense and basically stabilized his position. These heavy firepower can completely defeat the enemy's attack with just one salvo.
On the other side, the Volunteer Corps One-hundred-and-sixth Division, three-hundred-and-seventh regiment, also hoped to win the Sancha intersection in front of which controls the enemy's escape. A battalion of the Three-Fourth-Seventh Regiment was responsible for the main attack. They approached by night, but now the entire battalion was suppressed by the enemy's fierce fire in the wilderness outside Sancha Road.
"Hey, hello, for a company? Where did you hit?" In the tentatively established battalion, the battalion commander of the battalion and other personnel were very helpless with the wired telephone line that directed the battlefield. All three of them were scattered, but the offensive was not smooth.
"The battalion commander just received a report from the regiment. The second battalion in the regiment is attacking Yunshan City from north to south, and they have won the enemy's outer defense line.
The third battalion followed behind the second battalion. It was said that a US howitzer company was found and was trying to wipe out the other party. The head now asks us when we won the crucial Sancha junction? "
The report of the communications staff made everyone in the camp feel hot, and the camp commander was even angry. Colleagues' attacks were smooth, except that they were now more than a thousand meters away from the target, and none of the three front lines could open the situation.
"I'll take the battalion to connect." The deputy battalion commander asked for help.
The battalion company is a reserve team and the last resort of a battalion. It is usually used when the result of expansion is bad or the situation is bad.
The battalion leader of the battalion shook his head and frowned, "Put all the mortars in our battalion's control together and use half of the shells in our hands to blast the enemy positions, especially the enemy's heavy machine gun positions.
The M16 air defense vehicle serving as a fixed point of fire is really terrible. When this thing fires, it fires a large area, which is more annoying than a tank that blasts over. The Battalion didn't even know that it was a mobile anti-aircraft vehicle. They only knew that the enemy's heavy machine gun was unexpectedly strong.
It is also a battalion. Lieutenant Colonel Walton of the United States Army can mobilize a large number of heavy firearms. Tanks and cannons can be used casually. At dawn, aircraft can come back to support them. However, the battalion commander of the Volunteer Army used up to 82 millimeters of mortars. There were not many shells, and it was not that he was reluctant at the critical moment.
But now is the crucial moment!
One battalion organized three eighty-two millimeter mortars and six sixty millimeter mortars, and dozens of shells blasted at US positions at the Sancha intersection. The continuous explosions caused US soldiers in the positions to scramble, and this insignificant firepower made them feel like a bomb.
"Withdraw the frontier anti-aircrafts, and the yellow monkeys are staring at them." At the sight of the bombardment, Colonel Walton knew that the enemy was going to kill the most fierce machine gun fire in his hand. He couldn't help laughing at him: "Do these Asian indigenous people think we are idiots? I will teach them well."
As soon as the rear mortar fired, the three volunteer infantry companies at the forefront immediately launched an attack. This is the tacit cooperation formed through years of fighting and training. The local army relies on the advantages of tactics to make up for the disadvantages of equipment.
But the infantry on the front line rushed up for dozens of meters ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The heavy machine guns on the US position fired again, and those M16 anti-aircraft vehicles were not killed at all. As soon as their firepower was turned on, the fighters who launched the impact were immediately struck by flesh and blood, and covered with dead bodies.
The battalion leader holding the telescope was instantly stunned and anxious. The deputy battalion commander also saw heartache, and the soldiers in front of him were even killed without touching the edge of the enemy position.
"Just for now, give me all the remaining shells. We can't let our soldiers sacrifice for nothing." Instead of ordering the battalion commander, the battalion commander had to use his soldiers' impact to kill the enemy's exposed firepower.
Although very helpless, this is the victory of the lives of our own soldiers. The deputy battalion commander immediately confirmed the order with a cold face, and now it is a fight to consume-the enemy consumes ammunition, and we consume human lives.
Compassionate, it is time to sacrifice ...
When a battalion leader fights for the dead, he also wants to take down this vital Sancha junction. He suddenly saw a burst of fire in the telescope. He heard a blast from a distance after about three or four seconds. -An M16 semi-tracked anti-aircraft that was firing fiercely was blown into the sky somehow!
