Jagged Warlord

"What is that?" Chen Guangyuan saw several groups of three among the SS soldiers at the observation port of the trench. They stopped at a position about 1000 meters away from their own position, and then quickly wrote on their backs The next iron can leaned on the ground with one end raised high. Then, one of them stretched out his right hand and gestured a few times with his thumb up. Immediately, a soldier holding the iron pipe put something into the iron pipe. .

嘭

Something immediately flew out of the iron pipe.

"Not good." Although Chen Guangyuan had never seen a mortar, he knew it must be a weapon. He found a rifle and wanted to shoot at those SS soldiers.

boom

Before Chen Guangyuan could shoot, a three-person heavy machine gun team was blown up more than 100 meters away. Chen Guangyun ignored them, so he quickly raised his gun and aimed at three SS soldiers operating mortars. He fired three shots, but without a scope, he shot at a target 1000 meters away with the naked eye. Whether he could hit a target completely depended on his character. Obviously, Chen Guangyuan didn't have enough character.

boom

Another mortar shell fell, and another heavy machine gun was blown into parts. Chen Guangyuan came to his senses, he was focusing on the machine gun.

"Heavy machine gun platoon, let me back up and enter the second position." Chen Guangyuan had no choice but to order the heavy machine guns to back up. The heavy machine gunners, as if they were amnesty, quickly raised a few heavy machine guns that survived the disaster and retreated. Into the second line of defense.

Without the suppression of fire from the heavy machine guns, the SS advanced faster. The bullets fired by a large number of light and heavy machine guns fell on the Model Regiment's position like raindrops. Many sandbags used as barriers were beaten to pieces, almost Lost bulletproof effect.

"Withdraw." Chen Guangyuan pushed the soldiers of the first line of defense into the second line of defense, and at the same time ordered the artillery to fire again.

This time the artillerymen finally seemed to wake up from sleep, and fired a neat rapid fire. However, most of the shells fired by the violent shelling fell into the Zhao Niu River. The loss is not that great.

Perhaps because he felt that such a strong attack was not worthwhile, the SS attack was over hastily. After confirming that the SS had retreated, Chen Guangyuan ordered the soldiers to return to the first line of defense again.

"Regimental Commander, the artillery of the Southern Army is really powerful." Geng Zibiao, commander of the Second Battalion of the Model Regiment, had his right hand scratched by shrapnel, and the medical soldiers were bandaging him.

Chen Guangyuan looked at the corpses and broken weapons on the ground, frowned, and said, "Zi Biao, have you noticed that the Southern Army has a small artillery that can be operated by three people, it is very light, and this small The artillery seems to be aimed specifically at the machine guns!"

Geng Zibiao thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "That's the case, I have noticed it too!"

Chen Guangyuan said: "According to my observation, they fired at our army's position at a position of about 1000 meters. Our rifles are all 1000-type. Although the range is sufficient in theory, the guns fired from [-] meters away Target shooting is a bit difficult, so I think it’s better to gamble with them, once you find such a gunner, immediately use the Maxim machine gun to shoot at the target, the chance of hitting it should be more!"

"It seems like this is the only way to go." Geng Zibiao nodded

Nanhekou Village on the south bank of Zhaoniu River

The one who attacked Chen Guangyuan was the First Reorganization Regiment of the First Division of the SS Army. The head of the regiment was Ouyang Hua. He was the first to follow Li Mohan's direct lineage. The military officer with Jiang Fangzhen as the instructor, commonly known as the school, has studied in the school, so he can be regarded as Jiang Fangzhen's student.

After the first attack, Ouyang Hua asked Jin Kai, the commander of the first battalion in charge of the attack, to ask him to summarize the gains and losses in the attack.

Jin Kai, the commander of the first battalion, said with a smile: "The Beiyang army is just stupid. They squatted in the trenches and were beaten. Their heavy machine guns did not move after several shuttles. When our mortars went up, One at a time!"

"Nonsense, a Maxim with cooling water weighs about 120 catties, which means it can be moved by moving." Ouyang Hua said: "According to information, the opposite is Yuan Shikai's model regiment. I heard that the lowest rank is non-commissioned officers, not that You can't underestimate the enemy with a team of strong men and soldiers!"

Jin Kai saluted solemnly, "Yes, I understand, but~"

"But what?" Ouyang Hua asked

Jin Kai replied: "Our task is actually to feign an attack to divert it. Are you so serious!"

Ouyang Hua stared, and shouted: "You bastard, is war just a joke!"

"I know I'm wrong." Jin Kai quickly admitted his mistake.

Ouyang Hua looked at Jin Kai and said, "You have also attended the class of Chief of Staff Chiang!"

Jin Kai replied: "Yes, although only five days of class!"

Ouyang Hua said: "A teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life. Chief of Staff Jiang was the principal of Baoding Military Academy. It was Qu Tongfeng, Duan Qirui and others who joined forces to suppress Chief of Staff Jiang. Chief of Staff Jiang is such an arrogant person. In a fit of anger, he committed suicide by drinking a bullet, if it weren't for his fate, we would lose a military strategist in the Chinese world!"

"Why didn't I know about this?" Jin Kai was surprised.

"I only heard about it from some Baoding military officers." Ouyang Hua said: "So, this time, Chief of Staff Jiang played against Qu Tongfeng. It can be said that the enemy's road is narrow. Let Chief of Staff Jiang concentrate on dealing with Qu Tongfeng!"

Jin Kai stood up and saluted, "Yes, I understand the humble position, the master's humiliation is the incompetence of the apprentice, I will definitely not let the Chief of Staff Jiang down!"

At noon, the SS, who had had lunch, launched an attack on the Model Regiment's position again. The attack mode was still the old rule. First, the artillery fire was suppressed, and then the infantry advanced. The mortars first picked up the heavy machine guns of the Model Regiment.

But this time the model regiment has also learned well. When the SS artillery fire suppressed, they moved all the heavy machine guns to the back and hid them. When the artillery fire stopped, they quickly moved to the front line. They stared at the SS mortar team intently, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately fired at them with machine guns. Some infantrymen also fired at the SS mortar team with their rifles regardless of whether they could hit or not.

As a result, several SS mortar teams were reimbursed, and the remaining mortar teams were forced to constantly shift their firing positions, which greatly reduced their hit rate.

Without the threat of mortars, the heavy machine guns of the Model Regiment began to block the surface of the Zhao Niu River with fierce firepower. The SS soldiers tried to cross the river several times but failed. Blood and floating corpses floated all over the surface of the Zhao Niu River.

Jin Kai had no choice but to ask for artillery support from the regiment headquarters. After another round of artillery suppression, part of the ridge line of the highland where the model regiment was located was blown down and became a slope. The model regiment could only be forced to retreat to the second. The first line of defense, the second line of defense is located in the center of this high ground platform. When the members of the Model Regiment squat here, the SS attacking troops on the other side of the river will not be able to see the defenders at a low level, and the direct fire will be useless, while the Model Regiment You can be condescending and ask the artillery behind you to support it from time to time. Although the artillery of the Beiyang Army has a slow rate of fire and poor accuracy, it is better to have support than to have no support.

If the SS infantry wants to attack this high ground, they need to cross the Zhaoniu River first, and then climb the slope. This is not counted. On a flat and open land, the officers and soldiers in the Model Regiment were all carefully selected, and their marksmanship was very accurate. As long as the SS soldiers showed their heads, most of them would be hit.

Jin Kai had no choice but to spare no expense and ordered the 120mm mortars to move forward and shoot continuously at the position of the Model Regiment to cover the infantry crossing the river and climbing the slope.

After finally crossing the river, Jinkai ordered the soldiers to deploy the 50mm grenade and 60mm mortar again, "Soldiers, finish your ammunition in the shortest time, and then charge me, Mike All the Desen light machine guns are hung around the neck and fired at the waist, and all officers with shell guns must participate in the charge!"

Immediately, dense grenades and mortar shells whizzed up, and the sky seemed to fly over a group of sparrows. For a while, various bombs exploded on the fortifications and positions of the model regiment. The short and continuous explosions were deafening, and the flying shrapnel carried The breath of death roared down, and the panicked soldiers of the Model Regiment couldn't find a safe corner at all. Many soldiers were directly hit by several shells at the same time, and were instantly torn to pieces by shock waves and air waves from various directions.

"Come on." The lower-ranking officers with shell guns took the lead. The automatic pistols capable of bursting fire and the Madsen light machine gun formed a dense fire. After the explosion, the remaining soldiers of the Model Regiment howled and fought back. The SS soldiers kept falling, and the ones behind quickly made up for it. Both sides were red-hot, and some soldiers of the Model Regiment jumped out of the fortifications with their bayonets in their hands, facing the rain of bullets, without any hindrance. Charged, and was smashed into a sieve by several Madsen light machine guns firing continuously.

However, the previous violent artillery fire had already destroyed the main force of the Model Regiment. Although the remaining officers and soldiers of the Model Regiment resisted tenaciously, they were still no match for the large and well-equipped SS. Finally, Geng Zibiao, the first battalion commander of the Model Regiment, ordered The remaining more than 100 soldiers of the model regiment put down their weapons and surrendered.

Geng Zibiao, whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke, hung one hand around his neck and held the command saber that belonged to Chen Guangyuan in the other. None of the officers and soldiers are cowards, they are all the hope of the future, I don't want to and dare not ruin all these good seedlings in my hands!"

Jin Kai smiled, took the command knife from Geng Zibiao, and said: "You don't have to worry about that, our SS is the hope of the Communists in the future, so you can go to the prisoner-of-war camp with peace of mind, our SS gives preferential treatment Prisoners, as for what will happen to you in the future, everything will be decided by our commander-in-chief Li Mohan."
