Chapter 076 Lure the Enemy Deep Three
Dingbian County was not large in size, but Cheng Zhigeng built three defensive positions in a decent manner. Except for the last one, the other two were just a semi-finished product, and kept for the Ma family army to occupy.
After the Ma family army began to attack, the Red Army soldiers on the defensive positions pretended to resist and immediately gave up half of the positions.
After occupying the position, the morale of the Ma family army suddenly rose. Those who didn't know thought they had won some great victory. The Red Army soldiers who were ordered to retreat all despise them in their hearts.
After hurriedly occupying the first line of defense, the Ma family army made a little partial adjustment, and the two battalions slowly advanced to occupy the position, and the other battalion was ready to go as the reserve team, and the chaotic attack became a little bit more apparent.
Five hundred meters behind the first defensive position was the second line of defense. The high-spirited Ma family army launched an attack under the stimulation of money and high-ranking officials, but it was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
Although Cheng Zhigeng wanted to give the first two lines of defense to the Ma family army, it was not for nothing. If the show was too fake, it would inevitably make people doubt it. Therefore, on the second line of defense, he was going to let the Ma family army suffer a little.
Because they pretended to be defeated, the self-propelled grenade launchers assigned to the first level of the class were not allowed to be used, and they were temporarily put away. When they had no choice, the machine gun and submachine gun were ordered to use as little as possible, so the firepower of a class was only seven 56 and a half.
Although the firepower was reduced by two-thirds at once, the remaining one-third was still far higher than the Ma family army, so it was not so easy for the Ma family army to break through the second line of defense.
Because we wanted to attract the enemy's thirty-five chasing and fighting against Dingbian County, the second line of defense showed a stalemate from the beginning. It seemed that both sides were fighting fiercely, but in fact, the Red Army fought very comfortably.
Unlike the Red Army with sufficient ammunition, warlord troops like the Ma Family Army mostly use bayonet hand-to-hand combat to decide the outcome. They almost never fire many guns in one attack. After almost the bullets in the gun chamber are released, they will launch a charge and want to rush to the Red Army's position to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Although the Red Army was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, when it could be solved with bullets, no one would be so stupid that the bullets retreated and fought against the other party for warrior spirit. Therefore, every time the Ma family army charged, the Red Army did not launch a counterattack like before. Instead, waited for the Ma family army to approach and drove the other party back with submachine guns, pistols and machine guns.
After three repeated charges, the Ma family army caused considerable casualties. Every time they charged, the most casualties were the ones, which made no one willing to charge. They all lay behind the bunker and fired cold guns, which made the Ma family officer very angry.
"At up, he's up to me. You're afraid of three charges? Usually, when you fuck me, you're all the big guys, you're all the big guys, why are you all soft now?"
"Everyone is up to charge me. If I can't get up, I will shoot you one by one."
Although the officers used all kinds of methods to force and induce them, the soldiers felt a chill in their hearts when they thought of the numerous machine guns and submachine guns on the Red Army's positions after launching the charge. No one was willing to advance in the rain of bullets after three charges.
That is not a simple adjective, but a real rain of bullets. After fighting for so many years, many people have never seen such dense firepower. Just think about it and it’s scary.
Seeing that no matter how they urged, the soldiers were unwilling to get up and charge, the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander had no choice but to turn around and ask the regiment commander for advice.
After seeing the tug-of-war on the second line of defense, the first regiment commander was no less shocked than the two battalion commanders. When the first wave of charge encountered the dense firepower net of the Red Army, he understood why the Third Company had such a large casualties at the Qidunkou. It must be that the cavalry encountered the dense firepower net of the Red Army, which was intertwined by the submachine gun and machine gun during the charge.
Although they didn't want to admit it, the first regiment commander had to sigh that the Red Army had far surpassed the domestic warlords in terms of machine gun configuration. No wonder they were able to wipe out six cavalry regiments in one fell swoop last year.
However, the commander of the Red Army did not seem to be able to organize the use of machine gun fire, but just regarded him as a weapon to stop the infantry's charge. At this point, the first regiment commander had never figured out how could there be such a stupid commander in the Red Army.
Seeing that the three charges were forced back by the Red Army with machine guns, the commander of the regiment flashed with inspiration. The Red Army would rather waste a lot of ammunition than engage in hand-to-hand combat. The only explanation was that the Red Army was insufficient, and the hand-to-hand combat was too severe to suffer. The Red Army could not bear it at this time.
After having this idea, the first regiment commander decided to strengthen the attack. He believed that the Chi army, which had insufficient troops, would not last long, so when the two battalion commanders came to him, he pulled out the shell gun on his waist and cursed directly: "Tell your brothers that the Chi bandits lacked troops and could take the position after rushing a few more times. The first one to rush into the Chi army's position will be rewarded with one thousand yuan and promoted to the third level. As soon as the charge sounds, whoever he is ~ Mom dares not to rush, my supervisor team will hit someone behind the head."
Hearing that the regiment commander had brought out the supervision team, the two battalion commanders knew that they had to fight this battle without wanting to fight. They immediately took the regiment commander's order back and kept emphasizing on their own positions: "Brothers, the regiment commander treats us well, and now it's time for us to repay the regiment commander. Although there are many machine guns on the opposite side, there are probably not much ammunition left. As long as we work together this time, we will definitely be able to seize the opposite position."
"Brothers, the regiment commander has sent the supervision team. If you don't want to die, I will rush forward with all my might and rush to the Red Bandits' position. Ronghua and Fugui are waiting for you. Even if you fall on the way to charge, you will have a big scar on your head at most."
Although no one wants to charge in the rain of bullets, he dare not be the one who stands out when facing the supervision team. As the battalion commander said, a big scar on his head and a lucky rush to the Red Army's position will be endless wealth.
Under the threat of life and the temptation of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, the morale of the army was improved for a while, and everyone was eagerly waiting for the next wave of attacks.
After reorganizing the morale, the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander immediately issued an order to attack. The soldiers of the two battalions rushed out of the bunker and carried out several rounds of shooting. The moment he heard the charge, everyone launched a death charge as if they were desperate.
Originally, after halfway through the charge, he would encounter the crazy strafing of machine guns and submachine guns on the Red Army's positions, but this time he only heard sporadic rifle shooting sounds. He thought that what the regiment commander said was indeed correct. The Red Army's ammunition was almost consumed. If he didn't take advantage of this time to rush to the Red Army's positions, he would be afraid that there would be no such opportunity next time.
As the thoughts turned, most people figured out this point, and the charge speeded up twice as quickly as fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, the Red Army's position was right in front of us, and the white ocean seemed to float by in front of us, and a happy day was coming.
Seeing that they were about to rush to the Red Army position, the battalion commanders of the two frontier positions could not help but hold their breath, fearing that other changes would cause the charge to fail. Therefore, the two of them had never left the Red Army's frontier position from the beginning.
"Run..."
Someone's roar penetrated the entire battlefield at this time. The two battalion commanders only saw the first soldier rushing into the Red Army's position, followed by the second and third ones.
No one expected that this charge would be so easy. When they didn't encounter the Red Army's machine gun firepower net at first, the two battalion commanders thought the Red Army had left some killer moves. Until they saw the first soldier rushing into the Red Army's position, the two battalion commanders on the front line jumped up with joy.
However, as soon as their joy rose, they heard one after another explosion. Looking into the sound, it was the explosion from the Red Army's position. The first soldiers of the Ma family army rushed in had been blown into the air by the shock wave caused by the explosion, and the bodies separated were very miserable.
Because the changes came too quickly, most people did not react for a while. They waited until the explosion was over and asked what was going on. Why did the continuous explosions suddenly occur on the Red Army's positions? Is it a suicide attack taken by the wounded Red Army soldiers? This is not uncommon. In order to avoid being captured, Red Army soldiers often leave themselves a grenade, which seems to be called a glorious bomb.
After the explosion, two battalion commanders on the front line rushed up and came to the Red Army's position and found that the Red Army had withdrawn the large group of troops long before they launched the charge, leaving only a small number of personnel for surface blocking. When they launched the charge, there were actually not many personnel on the Red Army's position.
After knowing this information, the two battalion commanders realized that the reason why they could launch a charge so easily this time was that the Red Army did not effectively block them. The charge he was proud of was just the result of the Red Army's charity.
Although the actual result made the two battalion commanders very discouraged, they still completed the task assigned to them by the regiment commander and could barely explain it to the superiors.
After occupying the second line of defense, the city walls of Dingbian County were already close at hand, but the two battalion commanders did not rush to attack. On the one hand, they were not sure why the Red Army suddenly retreated and were worried about fraud. On the other hand, the "death charge" just now consumed almost all the energy of the soldiers. Although they did not suffer any obstacles, the mental pressure was still very heavy. After suddenly relaxing, it would take a certain amount of time to revive.
The two battalion commanders stopped, and the first regiment commander understood very well, so they did not blame them, but comforted them a little, replaced them all, and transferred the third battalion as the reserve team.
