Chapter 474 Dilemma
Just as Thomson and all Australian soldiers watched the soldiers approaching, two dull sounds suddenly came from the ambush. Before everyone could react, two dazzling objects suddenly appeared in the sky to show the ambush soldiers here under their light.
"Lying down..."
The moment Thomson saw light in the sky, he understood what it was and immediately lay down and shouted the order. Unfortunately, his orders came a little late, and these Australian soldiers had basically never experienced the actual combat of infantry, so they were still slower in response.
It was precisely this step on the battlefield that determines life and death. A dense gunshot like a blasting bean suddenly sounded from the ambush area. The dense and accurate bullets quickly harvested the lives of the Australian soldiers who came to check the situation.
Not only them, but even the soldiers who were ambushing in the ambush circle in the distance were shot and killed. Thomson clearly felt that several bullets flew past the position he had just stood. He was very glad that he had good luck. If he was a little late, his body that would block these priority passing would definitely be in trouble.
But Thomson's good mood was quickly shattered by the cruel facts, because he was shocked to find that the soldiers who had just stood up and looked around were accurately shot by the first round of shootings on the opposite side.
A big man not far away was twitching on the ground, covering his neck, a bullet rubbed the flesh on his neck through, and the blood vessels of the broken carotid artery splashed outwards.
Under the last light of the first two flares, Thomson couldn't believe his eyes. The dozen Chinese soldiers opposite him fired incredible amounts of bullets in this short period of time.
Not only is the speed of fire, but the shooting accuracy is also accurate and the attack is fierce. The part of the Australian soldiers who fell to the ground is above the abdomen.
"Reloading is complete!" Half lying behind a big tree that fell to the ground, two gun barrels protruding from military automatic rifles were quickly loaded with two grenades.
"The distance is three hundred, the direction is eleven o'clock, the direction is 40. Let it go!" In the command of the squad leader, the grenades on the two automatic rifles in the squad leader and the squad deputy were fired out by the powerful pushing force of the empty bullets, and the two lighting grenades quickly formed a dazzling light in the sky.
"Cover me!"
During the rapid fire of three semi-automatic rifles, the veterans of the kitchen squad carried the bazooka on the battlefield for the first time, and with the help of the light flares, the veteran steadily put the fire point of the light machine gun hiding behind the bunker on the opposite side into the center of the optical sight and pulled the trigger.
Amid the harsh sound of rocket propellant burning, a flame quickly flew from the center of the ambush circle toward the machine gun fire point. After a violent explosion, the Brown-style light machine gun that was still clamoring just now suddenly became history, and the broken parts splashed everywhere in the explosion.
"At two o'clock, there is also a machine gun!" The ammunition supplyer, who was responsible for shooting with a machine gun, also served as the firepower observer, discovered another firepower point while launching the rocket. It was a light machine gun hiding under the bushes. The other party seemed to be confused by this fierce and fierce blow, and was watching the changes on the battlefield stupidly.
"I saw it! I couldn't even lift my head when I hit it just now!" The machine gun shooter also discovered the culprit who had just pierced him on the ground. The machine gun shooter viciously turned the gun over and pulled the trigger the moment the light was about to disappear.
Hesitate!
The Torrenti ii general machine gun quickly shot four short shots under the skillful control of the shooter. The eight-open scattered flame mouth burst out with beautiful flame tongues. One of every five rounds indicates that the ammunition accurately hits the area where the opponent's machine gunner is. As for whether the machine gun shooter was hit or not, only 30% of the time it was determined.
The machine gun shooter shot four short shots in order to make subsequent supplementary shots.
However, no matter whether the machine gun shooter or the ammunition supplyer was hit or not, they would not continue to stay in this place. The flames bloomed from the eight-open flame-removing mouth when the machine gun was fired just now were indeed beautiful, but at night it was indeed a conscious target that instructed the other party to shoot the target...
The first firefight between the two sides ended like this, and in the dark, no one could accurately determine the other's losses. The Chinese soldiers knew clearly that they had entered the other's ambush circle and did not dare to act rashly.
The Australian soldiers were frightened by the sharp and fierce and precise counterattacks of the Chinese soldiers just now. In this situation of mutual uncertainty, everyone chose to use static and check their own casualties.
Soon, the casualties of the Chinese assault squad were counted. After all, there were only a dozen people who supported each other and could know who was alive and who was injured. If they didn't make a sound, they would probably be killed.
The Chinese soldiers were in good condition. In the sneak attack, only one soldier was injured in the thigh in a scattered gun, but fortunately, he did not hurt his bones and could barely walk after treatment.
In comparison, the Australian troops on Thomson's side suffered heavy casualties. Under two rounds of intensive attacks, not only did they lose four soldiers sent out for reconnaissance, but five soldiers were also killed, several soldiers were injured, and two of them were hit and seriously injured.
The two light machine guns and shooters in the team were shot and destroyed by the opponent's key shot. One was completely destroyed by the explosives fired by the opponent. The other was hit by a bullet, causing the gun to be damaged and the shooter was temporarily unable to shoot. The shooter was seriously injured, and the bullet supplyer was trying to repair the light machine gun in the dark.
After the first firefight, Thomson no longer had the desire to win in his heart to try to see the opponent's corpse, because he was very confused now. With such a powerful soldier and firepower on the other side, should he evacuate here immediately or stay to continue fighting.
The real reason why Thomson was confused was that in just over half a minute, when he set up an ambush circle for pursuing Chinese soldiers with confidence, he fantasized that he could use this method to teach the Chinese pursuers behind him a lesson.
But what is the result?
After a brief firefight, Thomson sadly found himself in a dilemma.
It is absolutely impossible to beat. This is confirmed by the life of a living person just now!
Now that visibility is limited, I am basically a conceptual blind shooting. Although the opponent is far inferior to him in terms of number of people, judging from the fire exchange just now, the opponent's firepower is far more powerful than that of his own.
Thomson also saw the new US rifle when he followed the American soldiers. The Gadland rifle fired by the eighth company was indeed a good gun, but compared with the guns in the hands of the Chinese soldiers opposite, the firepower was about the same rate of fire.
But in terms of sustainability, Gadland was much worse. The bullets on the opposite side continued to exert strong firepower suppression on himself from beginning to end. The dense rain of bullets made him unable to lift his head. If he hadn't clearly known that there were only a dozen people on the other side, Thomson would have thought that a company of troops on the opposite side was fighting with him.
What’s even more terrible is that the opponent takes action quickly, accurately and ruthlessly!
The short-term dense rain of bullets seems to have not hit the human body, but veterans like Thomson who have been on the battlefield know that in fact, the bullets of Chinese soldiers basically hit around the bunkers of Australian soldiers. This puts a lot of psychological pressure on their own soldiers. In this case, whoever emerges will die!
But on the battlefield, you don’t even dare to stretch out your head, so how can you aim and shoot? The consequence of doing this is that you can only allow the opponent to easily adjust the deployment during the battle, easily approach yourself and then eliminate them one by one.
Thomson, who understands this, is also quite a headache, and it is difficult to beat it. The opponent almost knocked out one-tenth of his troops in two rounds to reduce combat personnel. If he had such a few more rounds, Thomson would probably not be able to withstand such casualties and collapse on his own without hitting his troops.
But he was unwilling to give up, and he was unwilling to evacuate in shame. More importantly, the Chinese soldiers in the ambush circle would not let anyone leave.
"Squad leader, after contacting the troops behind, Battalion Commander Chen said on the radio just now, let us try our best to keep the other party and not leave easily. He is taking the troops from the company to rush here." The correspondent in the assault squad put down the communication walkie-phone and conveyed new orders to the squad leader.
As an assault class, they are certainly qualified and capable of equipping with such a portable walkie-phone.
Although some of the equipment of battlefield radio communication walkie-phones like the US military equipped in World War II is also quite large, only the Chinese army knows that the size difference between the two is not big, but in terms of performance and effect, there is still a working distance. The walkie-phones produced by China are better than the other party.
"Stay them?" The squad leader looked at the watch on his wrist. It was about half an hour before the sky was about to start to light up. Judging from his own speed and the follow-up speed of the troops behind, it was estimated that it would take more than half an hour for the strengthening company to follow up.
It seems that Gan Daoguang wants to go around the two lines before dawn and completely eat up this Australian military force.
"What do you think?" The squad leader turned around and asked the squad deputy next to him about his opinion.
"It's a bit difficult. I just estimated that when we were chasing during the day, their number was about 80 people, but the movement just now was at least not less than 150 guns, and you have seen it, and there are two light machine guns that came out of nowhere. Although they suffered a big loss just now, there are still many people. I am worried that we were fighting too hard just now." The deputy of the squad looked around and observed the environment, and he was not idle at hand to remove the short magazine containing empty bullets and replace them with live ammunition.
"I'm afraid they can't hold on and turn their heads and run away?"
"That's the reason. I guess the other party will definitely test it again. If we fight so hard, it's probably not necessary for them to organize it. Those soldiers will blow up the camp."
"Okay, if they launch another attack, I will organize the resistance. You will bring a few people behind the scenes." After looking at the veteran who was lying on the ground and loading ammunition for the bazooka, the squad leader added: "You retreat too."
"What! You are not kind to the squad leader. I have always given you a small meal before. You can't treat me like this! If you don't ask me to hit two more times, just hit two more times." The veteran chef was unhappy when he heard this. He was just hitting, and he wanted to show his power again. But he heard this sentence. How could he not be depressed?
"Abide by the order, your thing is too powerful. If you hit the enemy two more shots, you will run away. If it is a big deal to settle the enemy, the battalion commander will defeat me!" The next sentence of the squad leader made the veteran silent, so he had to carry his weapons and the squad deputy to touch him back, just muttering.
Just as the squad of the assault class expected, Thomson unwillingly launched a second tentative attack a few minutes later. However, both sides seemed very careful in this battle.
The Australian army was afraid of being hit like the violent attack just now, and fired scattered fires on the rifle position, and most of the bullets did not know where they flew under this situation.
The Chinese soldiers were worried that they would scare the opponent away after they would fight harder, so they deliberately limited their firepower and the soldiers also deliberately slowed down their shooting speed.
This style of fighting has indeed restored the morale of the Australian soldiers who had just suffered a lot. Although I don’t know why the firepower of the Chinese soldiers in the ambush circle suddenly became sparse, no matter what, the pressure the other party put on themselves suddenly became much smaller. Many soldiers gradually dared to poke their bodies out and aim and shoot.
The soldiers in charge of the attack did not approach the straight line as boldly as before, but instead attacked step by step with the help of the terrain and objects. It seemed that the soldiers were doing well. Now the soldiers closest to the Chinese have reached an eighty-meter distance.
This recovery of confidence also allowed Thomson to finally let go and continue fighting. As the troops in front gradually approached the combat positions of the Chinese soldiers, the confidence that had just disappeared in his heart was once again established.
But Thomson didn't know that behind these Chinese soldiers, a Chinese company with more than ones was quickly detouring to its two wings. The first exchange of fire between the Chinese and Australian Army will soon end with its own failure!
"Two more people go to the left.
"Someone was shot."
"The other party is retreating, the other party is retreating!"
"Don't let them get a distance away, keep getting closer!"
Various shouts echoed and shuttled through the sky, and the Australian soldiers shouting and communicating various information were supporting each other and covering each other and constantly advancing towards the center.
As a veteran and commander with practical experience, Thomson has become a veteran in this Australian army. In the battle behind the American soldiers and the Japanese devils one by one trenches and positions, he also witnessed and mastered the alternating attacks of the US troops covering each other and supporting each other.
Now Thomson has also applied this tactic to this attack. Judging from the current situation, his troops are approaching the opponent bit by bit, which shows that this tactic is effective.
But Thomson didn't know that his learning and imitation might be effective for other countries, but for Chinese soldiers with rich combat experience and weapons and equipment that are not inferior to the US firepower, this propulsion tactic has become a target for death.
But Thomson was also very lucky. Because he didn't know that the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side did not intend to expose all their firepower to scare them away now. Instead, they adopted the tactic of retreating and fighting.
At the same time, the other party gradually left the original position under his own confusion, which also caused them to cut off their retreat when the Chinese army attacked at dawn.
It just restricts one's own hands and feet, which also makes the assault squad's soldiers feel uncomfortable. The opponent's firepower cannot be suppressed, causing cold guns to fly over. This kind of gun bullet that hits the Dayun style is actually an unexpected damage that veterans cannot predict and judge.
"Where are the battalion commanders and others? We can't bear to bear it anymore. If we continue to fight like this, I don't want to be the first squad leader to cause major casualties due to deliberately suppressing his strength." The squad leader loudly asked the correspondent not far behind him. In the exchange of fire, another soldier was hit by a stray bullet.
But this time I was not so lucky, the bullet hit his right chest cavity. Now two veterans are dragging him to the back for emergency treatment, although the injuries were immediately under control.
However, because there was still a soldier with a leg injury, three wounded people appeared in the squad, which greatly delayed the team's degree. The situation where he could have fought and retreated and kept a certain distance was approached by the opponent bit by bit.
When getting closer to the squad leader, he must consider the power of the right grenade and the final charge, and have to let go of his hands and feet to suppress the opponent and enter this distance of life and death.
"The battalion commander said that they would hold on for another ten minutes, and they were entering the encirclement position on both wings!"
"Ten minutes?! I'll fight with the other party in this minute." The squad leader was a little anxious. Due to the delay in retreat, everyone is now huddling behind a small earth bunker, using the open space more than 30 meters in front to block.
Fortunately, the sky is already a little brighter now, and some visibility has also improved the warriors' marksmanship to a certain extent, but it is still almost the time required by the battalion commander.
"Squad Leader, I have an idea!" He kept rushing behind the scenes to the squad leader.
"What's your idea?" The squad leader ignored his old partner, and the automatic rifle shot from time to time filled the fire gap.
"It's useless to drag and fight like this. If we can't use our own firepower advantage, we will sooner or later be able to break through by the opponent. But now it's still far from the time required by the battalion commander. We must think of strange tricks to delay time. Stop shooting when I have the idea and everyone stops shooting.
The class deputy said that the squad leader was shocked.
"You're not wrong?"
"No, I'm just betting that the other party's idea of capturing us is stronger than the desire to kill us. Although I can't see the face and eyes of the old partner clearly, the squad leader still vaguely saw that his old partner was quite serious.
This decision is related to everyone's life and death. As the leader of a squad, he must be responsible for the lives of all the soldiers in the squad. The squad deputy's method made the squad leader fall into a dilemma for a while, but he has no time to hesitate and he must make a decision immediately.
