1287 Exxon's Rhythm of War
With small charges again and again, the fortress of the Jiaziku library was attacked in all directions. The Fourth Battalion of Xuanwu always encountered sudden and crazy attacks, and the one that followed was a rapid retreat without dragging on the ground.
On the front line of defense of more than 1,000 meters in the fortress, you have no idea where the enemy will attack or where the main attack will be carried out. The complex terrain hindered the charge of the Russian army, but also created favorable conditions for these small-scale harassment.
Eckson is indeed a very talented commander. He can make correct tactical changes through different geographical environments on the battlefield. The hillside in front of the first trench was smooth and there were few trees. As a result, Eckson opened and joined forces and directly organized two groups of more than 3,000 people to charge.
The two groups of charge and hand-to-hand combat fully utilized their own superior military strength and individual quality, which not only caused huge casualties to the Fourth Battalion of Xuanwu, but also directly forced the New Army to abandon the first trench.
When the battle advanced to the second defensive fortress, he discovered the characteristics of steep mountains and rugged rocks on the battlefield, and formulated a long harassing tactic.
The Chinese Marine Corps has strong fortresses to rely on, and the attacking Russian army can also have rocks and giant trees that can be used as temporary barriers. The front lines of both sides are stuck together.
The rifles and grenades are not effective, and at critical moments, they still have to fill with kerosene incendiary bombs. This Molotov cocktail in glass bottles is really effective in dealing with this complex geographical environment.
The cocktails smashed into the cracks of the rocks poured the burning kerosene into each crack. The blazing flames began to flow with the liquid kerosene, and the burning Russian soldiers wailed.
The Russian soldiers who couldn't help but feel pain jumped out from behind the rocks, and one by one fireman launched a suicide charge at the fortress in despair, but were knocked down by a dense rain of bullets after running two steps.
"Okay! It's good to burn! Burn this group of bastards to death!" The fortress cheered.
"Save ammunition! Save ammunition! Incendiary bombs are for emergency relief and cannot be wasted too early..." Company commander Wang Chen ran past the tunnel, warning the soldiers who were red-eyed and snatched bottles of cocktails.
Wang Chen was alert and lay beside the battalion commander Chu Zhao and whispered, "It's not right! These Russians seem to be deliberately consuming our patience. What are they going to do? Touch our bottom? Consume our ammunition?"
Chu Zhao said coldly, "Yes, the commander on the opposite side is so insidious. If I'm not wrong, they will bombard us soon... Pass the order and avoid it carefully!"
Before he could finish his words, a bright light suddenly emerged from the first trench area at the foot of the mountain. The Russian artillery position just arranged opened fire again. The shell whistleblower exploded at the fortress of the Aziku.
Red-haired Exon was extremely calm. He was obviously a young man in his twenties, but he was as calm as an old man in his sixties or seventies on the battlefield. He was not only commanding this battle, but also learning about battles and summarizing the battles.
A large table filled with a observation cover set up by the sandbag in front of me, a telescope, a pen, a notepad, a military map, a red and blue pencil and various drawing tools.
Exon picked up the telescope and carefully observed the battlefield and issued the latest orders. He would draw various lines on the map to supplement every detail on the battlefield. After a while, he picked up the pen and began to sketch various shorthand words and numbers on the notepad that only he could understand.
How big is the time difference between the cooperation between infantry and artillery? How should it be adjusted? Does the equipment carried by individual soldiers during feint attack affect the maneuverability?
How should the field artillery be compensated for the excessive straightness of the ballistic trajectory? Where are the permanent fortifications created by the enemy?
Various problems must be summarized into specific details and detailed numbers, and the young major matured at an incredible speed.
While writing, Exon muttered to himself, and while he was pondering, there was a very evil smile on his lips. If it were in the aristocratic circle of European cities, such as Moscow, and Paris, such young people would be enough to make all noble ladies obsessed.
This evil smile, coupled with a handsome face and red hair, can become a deadly poison for those women.
But in a masculine killing place, such an evil smile can only make others feel panic. The officers in the temporary command who have higher ranks than Ekson feel like this at this moment.
"Very good, keep the gun shooting density like this, and last for another fifteen minutes... Taking advantage of the time when the gun is covered, we transport our wounded soldiers down and let the Greyhound Camp and the Coyote Camp be prepared for combat as reserves..."
"Send a signal to the St. Peter. I remember very clearly that there are two secret weapons in the arms I carried this time. Now it's time to use it... Hahaha, let's see how long these Chinese can last?"
"Okay, before this evening, I will take you to open the treasure house... Although these Chinese people are very powerful, unfortunately, the war is about absolute strength, and there are too few people!"
The St. Peter on the sea soon received the flag-tongued signal from Exon. Stefansky was stunned at first sight, "Is the mortar gun needed? Damn, what are these Chinese people building? Are the fortresses? Thirty field guns cannot solve the problem, they all need mortar guns to go to the battlefield?"
When Molière heard this, he suddenly realized, "God! We really touched the big fish. Major Exon needs the support of the mortar cannon. This shows that there is a Yonggu Fortress on the Tangwan Mountain! This is really Xiao Lotte's secret base camp. We really picked up the treasure..."
"General! I requested to escort Yulao to Tangwan Mountain in person. I must see with my own eyes what this treasure house looks like..."
Actually, let alone Morie wanted to see it, Stefansky actually wanted to go ashore and see with his own eyes how the treasure house looked when it was opened, but he knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, and his position was on the flagship, and his primary task was to control the entire fleet.
So Stefansky could only lick his lips and said regretfully, "Okay, you can go and see it for me, go and help Exon... Also remember to leave me a spoil. I can't wait to see what kind of picture is like when I see the Golden Rushan..."
Molière raised his hand and turned his head to walk down the bridge. At this moment, two heavy mortars were also placed on the deck of the transport ship by a crane. The short, thick and thick mortars looked like two small fat combos from a distance. The 360-caliber shells hit a large wooden box and filled the entire deck of the transport ship.
