Chapter 125: Difficult Attack and Defense Artillery Debut
As soon as their own machine guns stopped, the enemy's machine guns began to roar, "Hide..." As the enemy once again deployed their firepower points to the outer strongholds, the gap was filled and the Du family army had to retreat and hide.
The first 40-minute attack came to an end. With the help of a mortar barrage, the enemy regained the gap in their position and had to pause for a moment to prepare for a second attack.
"Report to Master Chenyu, Zhang Yang from the artillery team reports to you," a special service member brought Zhang Yang over. Du Chenyu had arranged for them to pick up the artillery team in advance. From the beginning, he had planned to launch the main attack from this side, so he transferred the artillery team.
"Okay... Captain Zhang, how is the situation with my father?" Du Chenyu asked.
"Report, the captain heard the gunshots over here and immediately launched an attack. Due to the narrow terrain downstream, a large group of troops could not be deployed. Captain Li led the team as the first round of attack. He led by example and was very brave. He used grenades to clear the way all the way. Within 5 minutes after the battle started, he rushed to within 40 meters of the enemy's position and blew up a fortification. Then I left the team, and as soon as I left, I heard the sound of the heavy machine gun "Maxim". Once the heavy machine gun sounded, Captain Li probably had no choice but to retreat. We don't have heavy firepower suppression for the time being," Zhang Yang briefly introduced the situation.
"Good, very good, you are worthy of being my brother Li, still so brave," the other party moved the heavy machine gun to the other side. They had mortar support here, which could be considered a comprehensive defense.
"Now we will launch an all-out attack. The Guard Team, Reconnaissance Team, and 2nd Squadron will all be deployed in the battle. Be ready in 10 minutes." In the first round of attack, we had basically figured out the firepower points. This time, we decided to make a final effort to take down the second line of defense in one fell swoop.
"Report, there are less than 1 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets left, and a box of bullets was destroyed by a shell," a squad leader came to report.
"Use sparingly, hide temporarily, and obey orders." There is no other way. The heavy machine gun has 1 rounds of bullets, which can only provide support for about 10 minutes. It must be used at the critical moment.
"Blackout, start moving forward." Xue Chen led the team to start moving forward in a "three-by-three" formation. The Du family's position was completely dark, and the only crescent moon was covered by a dark cloud. After moving forward about 50 meters,
"Swish... swish..." The other side suddenly fired a row of firecrackers and fireworks at the Du family army's position, with a rocket with lighting effect in the middle. The front of the position was instantly illuminated, and there were potholes and shell pits everywhere. However, most of the team members on this side were hiding in the bunkers, which were in the shadow area of the front lighting, so the effect was not great.
"Attack..." Taking advantage of the enemy's fireworks, they immediately launched an attack. The enemy could be seen falling down in large numbers with the naked eye. Then there was a return of gunfire. The commandos advanced another 10 meters. With 100 meters to go, the enemy's mortar began to show its power again, suppressing the attack of Du's army.
"Swoosh... whoosh..." The four mortars of Du's army began to fire back, two for long-range shooting and two for close shooting. The accuracy of firing at night can only be estimated, but the power of the artillery is more of a morale boost.
"Charge!" Xue Chen and Lei Jianqin were both leading the charge in the front. With the first appearance of the supporting artillery, the morale improvement was visibly visible. For a long time, they had been fighting with rifles against artillery, which was frustrating. This time, when they saw their own artillery, all the team members stood up, put bayonets on their rifles, and rushed forward to "kill..."
They charged directly towards the enemy's position with bayonets. The guard team was equipped with more than 20 pistols in the same ratio as the reconnaissance team. The pistol was a close combat machine with a 6-round box gun that could take out at least 2 or 3 enemies. In less than half an hour, they broke through the enemy's second line of defense, but they were still more than 400 meters away from the base wall, and there was a trench outside the wall.
"Brothers, follow me and rush over to join the brothers' team." Seeing that they had broken through the position on this side, Li Long also accelerated the intensity of the attack. As the Du family began to attack the defenders on the northern position of the base from behind, the enemy collapsed instantly, surrendered, fled, cried for their parents, and scattered in all directions.
"Brother He..., I can finally fight with you guys again, TTM, it feels so good. I haven't fought in the past two years and I'm so tired." Li Long ran over quickly, jumped up, hugged He Chaowu and rolled to the ground.
"Brother Li, my good brother, please get up quickly. You are still a child at this age. From now on, I will ask Master Chenyu to give up the task every day." He Chaowu patted Li Long's shoulder and sat up.
"Okay, okay, let's continue to clean up the remaining enemies and we'll talk after the battle," Li Long stood up.
"There is still a tough battle ahead. Let's quickly count the results and report to Master Chenyu," said He Chaowu.
"When brothers work together, they can cut through metal." The two men bumped fists and then left, continuing to lead the team to charge, determined to take down the base in one go.
"Kill..." Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from the wall. All of them were equipped with double guns, rifles and pistols, and hung grenades. As soon as they came out, they cleared the way with grenades. They threw them at the crowd regardless of enemies or friends. They were all agile and well-organized. They stabilized the battle line in a few minutes, causing dozens of casualties to the Du family. These were the Yang family's black guards. They eliminated more than 20 people last time, and later all took off their clothes, mixed in the crowd and were captured. They also forgot to clean them out, and now they have become a big trouble. Du Chenyu watched the stretchers being carried down continuously, and he regretted it in his heart. If the snake is not killed, there will be endless troubles.
"Solidify the position, report the situation." Du Chenyu saw that he could not break through the wall in one fell swoop, and the enemy's resistance was still fierce, so he could only order to take steady steps and reorganize. It was already 5 o'clock in the morning, and the attacking team was exhausted. They had fought two battles in one night and ran more than 70 miles.
"Report, after preliminary statistics, the two attacking teams of the Du family have lost about 260 people, including more than 130 sacrifices, 192 enemies killed, and 96 captured. The opponent's heavy machine gun has been taken down by our side," Xue Chen came to report.
"Okay, let's rest for half an hour, prepare breakfast, and then continue the attack." The current loss situation is still as expected. The attacking side of the Du family army suffered a loss of almost 1:1.
The team members had rested for less than twenty minutes and had just eaten a few bites of dry food. "Mr. Chenyu, there's something unusual about the enemy's position. It feels very quiet, and there are fewer and fewer people. We suggest an immediate attack," reported Captain Xue Chen, a special forces member who was observing the battlefield.
Du Chenyu was also confused by this matter. At present, the enemy was surrounded by us in the base, but they were still able to fly. Behind the base was the Huangyang River. Although the water was shallow, there were still teams guarding there, so it was impossible for them to escape silently.
Since Xue Chen suggested attacking, I can only agree. I don’t know the reason, so let’s fight.
"I agree, Xue Chen will be in unified command and act according to discretion," Du Chenyu delegated power.
The army groped forward, but there was still no movement in the enemy's position. "Send the message, pay attention to the trap, small team forward", Xue Chen was also afraid of being tricked by others, so he sent a few people to the enemy's position. "No one, the position is empty, the enemy is retreating", the reconnaissance team in front reported.
"Immediately blow up the wall with grenades and explosive packs," Xue Chen ordered.
