At a distance of thirty meters, both the enemy and us threw a dense round of grenades at the other side's position almost at the same time
Grenades like raindrops came and went, and began to explode on their respective positions. In just the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was once again enveloped in grenade smoke and explosions.
With the help of the cover of the smoke generated by the grenade explosion, the two infantry regiments stationed on the position, after experiencing several rounds of grenade rain, did not hesitate at all. Under the command, a counterattack was launched against Lao Maozi's attacking troops who were close at hand.
¡°Bang bang bang¡.slap bang¡¡±
The two torrents composed of their own soldiers collided directly and fiercely. The light and heavy machine guns responsible for providing fire cover behind their respective positions stopped at the same time as agreed upon to avoid accidental damage. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire that enveloped the battlefield became weaker. Instead, there were the shouts of their respective soldiers, the clash of firearms, the sound of cold gunfire from time to time, the sound of grenades exploding
"Division Commander, after several rounds of grenades, the two infantry regiments have less than 3,500 people left" The two groups quickly fought together. The chief of staff also immediately sent the frontline combat troops to The casualty information came out with a sad look on the face.
After the two infantry regiments fought, there are only 3,500 people left. This directly means that the two infantry regiments holding the position have spent almost 2,000 yuan after the grenade explosion and the previous Lao Maozi tank attack. human casualties. In addition, an infantry regiment was lost due to bombing and artillery strikes by the Lao Maozi Air Force. Less than an hour after the battle started, one of his main divisions had suffered a direct loss of almost 5,000 men before actually encountering Lao Maozi's attacking troops.
"Old Wang, our 136th Division suffered heavy losses, and Lao Maozi on the opposite side did not get any benefits You see, the infantry regiment that Lao Maozi was responsible for attacking has only about a thousand troops left. There are more than a hundred vehicles. There are only about thirty tanks left. You have to understand that this was achieved without our aircraft and heavy artillery attacking."
"You wait, once our air force and artillery attack. It's the end of Lao Maozi on the opposite sideorder the troops to quickly eliminate Lao Maozi's attacking troops. Then, withdraw from the battlefield, leaving no one behind. Anyway, the position has been occupied. Once the bombs are gone, the crater in front of us can be used as our position" Commander Xie Yunhui ordered with a murderous look on his face.
"Yes, Master"
A tall and powerful old infantryman. Although it has a great advantage in fighting bayonets. However, facing the Chinese ** team who came out of the anti-Japanese battlefield and experienced a long period of blood and fire tests, they have already developed their own stabbing skills. Their men were tall and powerful, and in front of the triangular stabbing formations put up by the Chinese ** team, they had almost no effect except to die.
The whole stabbing battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and just now it was still a dense crowd of old soldiers. They were killed one after another and fell to the ground. As for the remaining few hundred old men, under the threat of the squadron's horrific hand-to-hand combat, their faces were already pale with fright. Ignore the orders of the commander around you. Begin to retreat quickly
"No, Lao Maozi wants to escapeorder the troops to pursue immediately, take advantage of the chaos to blow up all the remaining tanks of Lao Maozi, then withdraw from the battlefield, and immediately convey the order" Commander Xie Yunhui, who discovered the change on the battlefield, had a look on his face He ordered excitedly.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Lao Maozi during his retreat, and blocking the front of the soldiers, Lao Maozi used human shields made of his own body to cover them. Parked at the edge of the hand-to-hand combat battlefield, there were more than thirty tanks that had not yet had time to turn. They were directly submerged in the torrent of charges from the two infantry regiments of the 136th Division.
"Boom, boom, boom" A dense explosion sounded, and more than thirty tanks, without exception, were all blown into ruins.
??The explosion sounded, and the densely packed squadron ignored the remnant soldiers of Lao Maozi who were fleeing faster and faster in front of them. Start retreating directly. Suddenly, the torrent of charge that had been mighty just now retreated quickly like waves rushing onto the beach and disappeared on the battlefield.
The total annihilation of a heavy tank regiment and the nearly total annihilation of an infantry regiment directly stimulated the most primitive animal nature in the heart of the old Soviet enemy commander.
The hundreds of old Maozi infantrymen who were lucky enough to retreat had not yet recovered their strength, but they became the targets of their commanders to vent their anger. As a result, more than 300 Lao Maozi retreated. Under the angry gaze of the Soviet Red Army division commander, they were all executed for being afraid of the enemy on the battlefield
After venting his dissatisfaction within the army, Commander Lao Maozi began to vent his anger at the 46th Army that stood in front of him
Another aviation division of the Soviet Air Force, vast and vastAppeared in the sky above the battlefield.
In order to complete their bloody revenge, more than 70 bombers, half of them, all carried incendiary bombs that had huge damage to the battlefield and were very cruel As for the more than 300 heavy guns of the rear artillery group, the division commander also Under the command, all fired incendiary bombs instead. Prepare to use fierce fire to burn the 46th Army's blocking position into a piece of black coal. Use fierce fire to burn all the Chinese troops on the position to ashes
In less than ten minutes, Nuo Da's blocking position was completely enveloped in blazing fire.
"Master, I really didn't expect that the hateful old Maozi actually used incendiary bombs Fortunately, we retreated in time and left no one on the position. Otherwise, those who stayed would be burned by the old man. Everything is clean" Looking at the scene in front of him, the division chief of staff said with lingering fear.
"How are the casualties of the troops? How many combatable troops are left in the division In addition, how many anti-tank weapons we have in hand. Judging from the attack just now, Lao Maozi will dispatch at least one regiment in the new round of offensive Heavy tanks" Commander Xie Yunhui, with a serious look on his face, asked directly after looking away from the fire.
"It's very tragic" Speaking of the casualties of the troops, the face of division chief of staff Huang Liqing was immediately shrouded in a gloomy expression.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he spoke with a low expression: "The division had more than 10,000 troops before the war, but now, there are still more than 4,300 left. Excluding all technical arms, only the real infantry remains. Less than 3,000 people. As for anti-tank weapons, all anti-tank guns were lost in the battle just nowbazookas, and there are more than 40 left"
"We have just repelled Lao Maozi's attack, and we have already lost two-thirds of our total strength?" Xie Yunhui asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes, division commander" the division chief of staff said affirmatively.
There are less than 3,000 troops. Plus more than forty rocket launchers. If the aircraft and heavy artillery behind you are the same as before, they will also not be able to provide you with long-range fire support. Xie Yunhui can be sure that these remaining troops alone will never be able to stop Lao Maozi's steel torrent offensive. Of course, even if it is blocked by luck, the 136th Division will face the end of the entire army being destroyed.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunhui's face. He directly showed a solemn expression and said: "Old Wang, relying only on the ability of our 136th Division, it will be very difficult to block Lao Maozi's next offensive. Please report our situation to the commander of the army immediately and take a look. Commander¡¯s opinion, please hurry¡¡±
"Yes, sir"
46th Army Military Headquarters. After seeing the telegram from Xie Yunhui's 136th Division, the atmosphere in the headquarters became solemn as promised. Be clear. Even on the anti-Japanese battlefield, a main division had never fought at such a high price in such a short period of time. But now, such a huge loss had been incurred in less than an hour of fighting, which had to shock Chen Hong and others
After some reflection, for the sake of the 136th Division on the front line, in order to hold the position. Army Commander Chen Hong said directly: "Chief of Staff, the 136th Division is in danger. And we must not let Lao Maozi break through our position. You know. This is a fatal order from the Commander-in-Chief to our 46th Army. Order the 138th Division , immediately mobilize a regiment of troops to reinforce the 136th Division"
"In addition, the little Japanese planes in the sky are really annoying. Where is our air force? Order the Air Force 013 Division to attack the main force of the Soviet army as soon as possible. Attract the Lao Maozi fighters back.
"Contact the Commander-in-Chief and ask when follow-up air reinforcements will arrive. Request that after follow-up air force reinforcements arrive, they will immediately go to the battlefield to reduce the pressure on the infantry. At the same time, allocate a branch of fighter planes as much as possible to find and destroy the Lao Maozi heavy artillery cluster"
"At the same time, inform our heavy artillery troops that once the Lao Maozi heavy artillery group is destroyed by our fighter planes, we must provide the most timely and fierce artillery support to the frontline infantry in the shortest possible time"
"Also, report the situation currently faced by our 46th Army to the Commander-in-Chief immediately. I hope the Commander-in-Chief can order the follow-up troops to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible and speed up reinforcements. Otherwise, our 46th Army will be in danger and its position will be in danger"
"Yes, military commander, I will send a telegram right away" the chief of staff replied with a serious face.
"The 46th Army is in danger, the position is in danger" On a military column leading to Inner Mongolia. I saw a few words in the telegram that pierced my eyes. Liu Hua, who had a certain understanding of Commander Chen Hong, knew that as a battlefield veteran who had experienced the Long March and the Anti-Japanese War, he would never have sent him such an urgent telegram for help if it had not really been a critical moment.
For a moment, Liu Hua's face was quickly shrouded in a heavy look.
Despite the war??, I have overestimated Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness as much as possible, and their three-dimensional offensive power as much as possible. However, it now seems that when one's own troops have no air force support or artillery support, all overestimates are unfounded.
Now, in order to solve the crisis of the 46th Army, in order to avoid the final decisive battle battlefield going deep into the country again. Holding the 46th Army's blocking position is definitely a waste of time. Thinking of this, Liu Hua directly looked at the huge combat sand table in the carriage and asked the surrounding combat staff.
"Commander Wang, immediately mark the progress of each unit on the map Also, tell me which unit is closest to the battlefield and when will the air reinforcements arrive on the battlefield"
