Age of Rebirth

Chapter 770 Fighting alone

The general attack on Fort Helenburgh did not go smoothly at the beginning. After two days of heavy shelling, the artillery group directly under the independent division, thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, poured tens of thousands of tons of artillery onto this rocky city. On the fortress that was formed, the damage to the main structure of the fortress has little effect.

Tang Qiuli used the attack force of the first echelon, two tank regiments and one field infantry brigade. After more than 800 casualties, he had to retreat in the face of the intensive firepower of the defenders. A multi-regimental force that entered the breakthrough is still surrounded by the superior forces of the foreign army. Whether this nail can be firmly nailed there depends on the development of subsequent battles.

The Supreme Commander of the Helianburg Fortress Defense Force, Lieutenant General Subart, Commander of the Second Army of the Foreign Armed Forces and Political Commissar, is even more aware of this. For this reason, he replaced Dirk, the commander of the First Guard Division. Major General Lushaha, the division commander was taken over by the division political commissar Hang Da Dorji, and issued a death order. Before [-]:[-] a.m. on August [-]th, the remaining squadrons in the fortress must be completely cleared.

Major Duan Shude, the battalion commander and the supreme commander of the independent division in the Helianbo Fortress, sent a few correspondents to bring back the scattered troops. It was not bad. More than 800 people were gathered. There was no time to search for the contacted company. As the sun gradually sank to the west, the huge shadow of the Hang'ai Mountains spread its black wings and covered the fortress of Helianbo Castle. Everything became hazy. [

Duan Shude knew that the most severe test for the army had begun, and the foreign army would not allow it. With such a small Chinese army lurking beside them, when the night fell completely, the decisive battle would begin. Can't count on it, call all the company and platoon leaders, hold a simple meeting, and discuss the battle plan.

In the hazy night, Duan Shude's eyes sparkled. He did not shy away from explaining the situation faced by the troops to everyone. From the faces of dozens of company and platoon leaders sitting around him, there was no panic or fear. Duan Shude had a solid idea in his mind. He divided all the troops into combat groups with platoons as units. The distance between each combat group was divided into two attack directions based on the standard of providing mutual cover and fire support. Attack inside the fortress.

With so many people gathered together, it is suspected that the dominant foreign army has the opportunity to gather and annihilate them. There is a chaotic style of fighting in chaos. For both the enemy and us, the opportunity is equal in the dark night, but the foreign army The soldiers had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and after simply arranging the combat deployment and the points to pay attention to, Duan Shude told everyone that we should try our best to control a section of defense line and open the way for the follow-up troops to come up.

Each combat group touched in different directions. Duan Shude looked at a platoon of soldiers following him. He waved his hand without saying a word, and his figure disappeared in the dark passage of the fortress. At the same time, the newly appointed No. The commander of the First Division, Hang Da Dorji, is also mobilizing before the war.

The division commander who was born as a political cadre is not very good at commanding and fighting. He is definitely a master when it comes to ideological work, especially when it comes to instigating soldiers' emotions. He was bombarded by independent divisions in less than 10 minutes. Although there were no casualties in the bombing All over the place, the terrified soldiers of the foreign army raised their spirits.

After finishing the pre-war mobilization and mustering up the courage of the soldiers, Honda Dorky began to select elite soldiers and generals, "Brave fighters, please raise your hands if you have participated in three battles!" No one raised their hands, and the foreign soldiers looked at each other with indescribable expressions on their faces.

"Those who have participated in two battles, please raise your hands!" Hendadorji continued to ask, but no one raised their hands. Comrade Commander almost ran away. The spit just now was in vain. They are all a group of ghosts who fear death. Not in a bad mood, he approached the division commander and whispered: "Comrade commander, the First Guards Division has no experience in participating in large-scale battles, nor has the entire Second Army."

Hang Da Dorji spoke thoroughly, and he didn't think about it. Since the day it became an army, the Foreign Revolutionary Army has been sheltered under the protection of the Soviet Army. You hit me today, I hit you tomorrow, fighting for power and territory, everyone wants to be the hegemon of China, and Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party is constantly rising in the south, so there is no energy to control foreign countries for independence and splitting This is a matter of national sovereignty.

It can be said that the independence of foreign countries is a bloodless division without a bloody battle. It is more appropriate to describe the soldiers of foreign countries as rookies. Hang Da Dorji did not give up and continued to ask: "Soldiers who have participated in a battle, please raise your hands!" He didn't even sound confident and confident when he said this.

Finally, a second lieutenant who looked like a platoon leader asked timidly: "Comrade commander, does it count if you have confronted the Chinese squadron in the border area?" Hang Da Dorji finally saw a glimmer of hope, nodded quickly and said "Comrade Second Lieutenant, it is also a special combat experience to be able to face off against the reactionary central government forces, of course!" More than 100 foreign soldiers walked to the front of the queue sparsely.

Seeing that this is not the solution, the chief of staff of the division has more practical experience, and he understands the current situation of the army better than this former political commissar who can talk about it. , all stand in the front row!" At this moment, 5000 people came out, no matter whether they had shot roe deer, gazelle, or sand chicken, they were all veterans with actual shooting experience.

In addition, the troops defending the breakthrough today can be regarded as having shed blood and seen the big world. After a long time of hard work, Hangada Dorky finally formed a commando team of more than 7000 people, and appointed several regiment-level political commissars to serve as commanders. Captain, divide into several groups and outflank the breach in the direction of the breach.

The unruly troops did not go smoothly when they set off. For this part of the troops led by the comrade-in-chief, one soldier accidentally fired his gun because of nervousness, knocking down his companions in front of him. The soldiers were so frightened that they all lay down on the ground. In the chaos, many people were trampled and fell. Handa Dorky was furious and wanted to kill him. The environment did not allow him to shake the face of the soldier who caused trouble. , Keep this account in your heart.

In the dark night, in the silent fortress, this gunshot was extremely ear-piercing, and it spread along the long corridor. It happened that the combat team led by Duan Shude, the commander of the first battalion, was walking along the dark corridor. , The sound of gunfire came, and more than 60 soldiers lay down on the ground in an instant, the Somi submachine guns in their hands were in firing mode, and even several Czech light machine guns found their shooting positions in an instant.

The soldiers held their breath and waited for a while, but there was no movement. Duan Shude waved his hand, and a three-person reconnaissance team moved forward along the corridor. After a while, the three soldiers retreated. It was discovered that a large number of foreign army soldiers, about 1000 people, happened to be head-to-head with us."

Duan Shude was shocked, more than 1000 people, twenty to one troops, to fight or not to fight?Going back the same way, if the other combat teams encounter a sudden encounter, they will definitely suffer a lot. Fighting, there are more than 60 people, can they withstand the attack of more than 1000 people?In front, the sound of chaotic footsteps can already be vaguely heard, Duan Shude gritted his teeth, let's fight, as soon as he shoots here, he can attract the foreign army from other directions, which is also convenient for other combat teams to move.

This kind of encounter was fought unexpectedly and viciously, with enough medicine to last for a period of time. He immediately ordered the soldiers to immediately use the existing terrain to build a simple blocking line of defense. Judging from the battalion commander's tone and actions , an ordinary infantry platoon of 65 soldiers, already knew the difficulties they would face.

No one spoke, let alone hesitated, and quickly piled up a fortification with gravel on the corridor. Just after entering the battle position, flashlights flashed in front of them, and Duan Shude raised his left hand. Getting closer, you can already see figures, 60 meters, Duan Shude's hand has not been put down, 30 meters, even closer, only 20 meters away, Duan Shude's left hand slammed down.

Before the soldiers of the Foreign Revolutionary Army who were groping forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, a dazzling light suddenly burst out, and countless fireballs rushed towards them, and instantly penetrated into the bodies of the soldiers in front. Before they had time to scream, more soldiers fell down behind them. At this moment, the intensive gunshots reached the ears of the foreign army soldiers. [

The battle broke out suddenly, completely caught off guard, the dense quilt, like a metal wall, pressed towards the soldiers of the foreign army, the soldiers in the front, the quilt was riddled with holes, Duan Shude's shot was an extremely vicious blow , The close combat was more than 50 submachine guns and eight light machine guns firing in bursts. The foreign army soldiers crowded together could only be the fate of being living targets.

The large number of people, in this case, is a disaster. Just one meeting, the corpses of hundreds of foreign army soldiers piled up in the corridor, and the gunpowder smoke filled the corridor. The soldiers of the Japanese army retreated again and again. The sound of gunfire was like a huge magnet, attracting the attention of both the enemy and us. The combat team also approached Duan Shude's direction.

Accompanied by Chief of Staff Chang Feng and First Brigade Commander Liu Hongzhang, the unrestrained Tang Qiuli stood on a hillside and listened to the intense gunshots coming from inside the Helianburg Fort. Secretly guessing the battle situation in the fort, following the sound of gunshots, the hearts of several people became uneasy.

Fighting alone, the follow-up troops can't come up, surrounded by foreign soldiers ten times larger than themselves, and the terrain is unfamiliar, Duan Shude and the others, can they persevere?How long can you last?There were question marks in Tang Qiuli's heart.
