1286 Ring Fortress
The fires soared into the sky on the battlefield, and the Russian soldiers who were fired through the fire and shot at the Chinese soldiers retreating from afar. Regardless of whether they had a correct head or not, they were just venting their anger in this way.
The artillery fire rumbling down the hillside, and the New Army helped its comrades retreat into the Yonggu trenches in the smoke and dust. In the bunker reinforced by reinforced concrete, the soldiers finally got a temporary rest.
"It's just that he's home. Have the hot soup been cooked? Distribute the broth to the brothers! Where are the medical soldiers? Emergency rescue... The fire can be burned for at least half an hour, and with the enemy's preparation time, we should have forty-five minutes of rest..."
A large pot was burned in every hidden fortification. The cooks stirred the soup base and sprinkled various seasonings into it. The chopped tofu and custard, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients rolled inside.
Canned beef imported from the United States were opened one by one, and bayonets were cut by a few strokes and threw them into the soup pot. The food in the army never paid attention to the appearance, but the food in the army was affordable and high calories.
The tin lunch box was filled with spoonfuls of meat soup. The soldiers who were so tired that they almost died of anger after the bloody battle were drinking greedily in their hands.
"Don't rob, don't rob! Just after the war, drink more soup and eat less dry... It's not that I'm stingy. If you eat too much, you will vomit in the end. If you want to have a big meal, I'll stew you for you after the war..."
The leading soldiers divided the broth one by one and persuaded them one by one. Seeing the seriously injured brothers, the leading soldiers burst into tears with heartache, "Why are they fighting so badly? They have never fought such a miserable battle in recent years!"
In addition to the rumbling sound of cannons, the trench was silent. Chu Zhao sat on the ammunition box and allowed the guards to bandage him the wound. He raised his head and drank the broth in the lunch box. "Take out all the incendiary bombs we stored. These Rakshasa ghosts have too strong quality and have an advantage in their troops. If this continues, we may not be able to defend..."
"Can't hold on? Do you need to call my guard company to support you..." As the voice came in, Xiao Hexin. Chu Zhao subconsciously stood attentively and saluted, and the gauze on his left arm was scattered.
"Report to the Chief of Staff! The Fourth Battalion of Xuanwu will definitely complete the task and will never embarrass the Chinese people!"
Xiao Hexin patted his shoulder and signaled him to sit down, and then bandaged the gauze with his own hands. "Don't worry, I'm not an act of provoking me, I really want to give you some reinforcements... I've seen the battle just now, it's not easy for you to fight!"
"No matter how overestimated these enemies before the war, it seems that they are underestimated now. Tsarist Russia can become a huge empire spanning Europe and Asia, and it does have its foundation. The quality of these soldiers is already surpassing us..."
"I'll give you a reinforcements from the company, and there are 20 snipers. You'll block the enemy for an hour here... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you'll block three shellings. After the three shellings are over, you don't have to wait for my orders, and retreat directly to the last fortress on the top of the mountain. At that time, your mission will be completed!"
Xiao Hexin waved his hand. After several hours of rest, the company that Wang Chen, who was stationed in Setouchui, was ready to enter the battle. Then a row of snipers in disguise clothes quickly controlled the best shooting angles of the fortress.
Chu Zhao looked at the soldiers who were gradually taking office in the fortress, and asked with a pale face, "Chief of General Staff... Do we really want to give up the A-shaped library? Can't we block the enemy in this fortress? Just with our fortifications, we have no problem blocking these Rakshasa ghosts!"
"No! Our goal is not to block them, but to force the enemy to gradually increase troops, and finally give the mountain to the Russian army... Now the enemy is surrounding us, and the final situation should be that we surround the enemy! If we trap more than 10,000 troops, the Russian warships cannot leave here, so they have to fight us here!"
"What the Prime Minister wants is to wipe out completely, not defeat. This is our bottom line! For the final victory, all previous sacrifices are worth it... Life can be lost, but can't we lose face? Joke!"
Chu Zhao was silent. He looked back at the iron gates deep in the fortress. Although he was a little sad about the gold, the order had been issued and he had no right to bargain.
Just as people spoke, the sound of shelling suddenly stopped, and the brief tranquility of the battlefield made people very uncomfortable. At this time, everyone knew that the enemy had gathered troops again and the bloody battle was about to begin.
The soldiers lying on the edge of the trench saw the Russian army swarming up the mountain. The flames of the first trench had been extinguished and were now only bursts of black smoke. Teams of Russian troops were pressing up steadily from the black smoke.
From the first trench at an altitude of 120 meters to the circular fortress at an altitude of 310 meters, there is a gentle slope filled with rocks, and scattered trees are mixed between large stones, which limits the charge of the enemy's large corps, but also provides countless natural shelters for the attacking enemies.
The Russian army's individual soldiers are indeed very good. They use classes as units to penetrate and tear through the huge rocks, alerting each other and providing firepower cooperation.
"Stop shooting! After entering the 100-meter effective area, shoot again... Stabilize the front! The terrain is not good for the enemy, and they cannot charge it..."
"Distribute ammunition, and each squad arranges to replenish the ammunition base... prepare the grenade!"
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon. As a gust of cold mountain wind swept across the mountains, gunfire sounded again on the Tangwan Mountains, and the most difficult tug-of-war began.
For veterans, they are not afraid of tragic wars or hardships. Their most feared is this kind of tug-of-war. Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the attacking party cannot launch a large army of hundreds of people, and rocks and trees hinder them.
Russian soldiers could only shoot against the Chinese soldiers in the fortress within range. It was difficult for companies to form a shooting density. They could only lie in the pile of rocks and load and fire, then load and then fire, repeating over and over again but have no results.
At this moment, the Fourth Xuanwu Battalion was also very depressed. In addition to the experienced snipers, they could also effectively kill some enemies, and other soldiers were difficult to hit the enemies hiding behind trees and stones.
Not only is the bullets poor lethality, but the killing effect of the grenade was suppressed. The furious Xuanwu Fourth Battalion consumed a lot of ammunition, but it could not kill a few enemies at all.
