Chapter 353 147 Heights

A large-scale battle is often carried out around the competition of many key tactical nodes. At the beginning, the key node of the brigade commander's battle during the Russo-Japanese War was Highland 203. Now the victory between the 3rd Division of the Feng Army and the 4th Division of the Anhui Army depends on who can break through the other side first in the 6th Brigade and the 7th Brigade. The position, and then detour to the other party's flank.

Specifically, the battle between the 6th and 7th brigades affects the victory or defeat of the two sides on the low hill that doesn't even have a name on the right-wing front.

The hill is unknown, and even the local villagers do not have any name for this inconspicuous hill. As the Sixth Brigade gathered heavy troops to attack the hill, for the convenience of the name, the officers of the 6th Brigade used the sea of the hill according to the practice on the battlefield. The wave height is named 147 Heights.

To be honest, this highland is not a dangerous place. To some extent, it is more like a small hill, and the terrain is relatively flat. However, this small hill has become the main competition point between the two armies today.

In order to seriously damage or even annihilate the third infantry battalion of the 7th Brigade of the Anhui Army located on the north side of Hill 147, the 12th Regiment of the Feng Army invested a whole battalion to compete for this hill.

With the support of intensive firepower, the 12th Regiment also lived up to Pei Lianying's expectations. It took less than two hours to take the place, and then moved up to four heavy machine guns to annihilate the 3rd Battalion of the Anhui Army, which had been suppressed on the north side. Sexual blow.

However, the good times did not last long. After Tang Tianxi, who was on the opposite side, learned that Hill 147 was lost, he immediately organized a counterattack, and the counterattack force was extremely huge for this small 147 Highland. Tang Tianxi not only organized an infantry company originally stationed there to launch a counterattack, but also deployed another An infantry battalion has launched a counterattack with more than 1,000 troops.

However, although their counterattack came fiercely, the Feng army had expected to be attacked by the enemy's crazy counterattack before attacking the area, so it was a battalion at the beginning. Because Hill 147 is not large, it is impossible to say that the whole battalion's troops will be shot up for defense, but now it is still deployed. Two infantry companies and machine gun companies have a strength of nearly 500 people.

With the small difference in combat effectiveness, although Tang Tianxi on the opposite side launched a counterattack, the Feng army on the mountain was supported by four heavy machine guns, so it was not so easy to take it down.

Seeing that the attack of the counterattack troops was blocked, Tang Tianxi's face finally began to look bad. There was a fierce battle on the whole front. There was no way for him to transfer more troops to launch a counterattack. It was very reluctant to transfer more troops. If more troops were transferred, there was no need to counterattack in other directions. It has to collapse first.

However, did he watch Feng Jun condescending and then completely annihilate his third battalion?

Tang Tianxi was unwilling, but with no hope of counterattack, he could only use other methods!

"Let the third battalion withdraw!" When Tang Tianxi finished saying this, he looked a little uncomfortable.

As soon as this came out, the adjutant next to him said, "If you let the third battalion retreat now, I'm afraid it will suffer great losses!"

Although this third battalion is now facing multiple firepower attacks by the Feng army, there are also temporary excavation trenches and a small number of original trenches to hide. Although it is in continuous casualties, it will not be killed again and again. However, if they retreat now, the soldiers will come out of the hidden trench, which can It's a ** naked target.

Although the enemy's fire point is still 400 to 500 meters away, and the rifle is unlikely to threaten them, the heavy machine gun on the opposite side is enough to shoot down the soldiers in the open area.

Tang Tianxi said harshly, "If they don't withdraw, will they continue to lose casualties? If it goes on like this, the third battalion will completely collapse in less than an hour!"

What he said is also true. Although the quality and morale of the soldiers of the 4th Division are not low, this kind of soldiers can only be beaten and cannot be fought back, and there are still continuous casualties. It is a serious blow to the morale of the army. It is rude to say that once this situation is long enough to make a nervous soldier completely collapse, At that time, the situation was even worse.

In addition, if tonight is coming, taking advantage of the night may not have a chance to escape!

Tang Tianxi, as the chief officer of a brigade, naturally has a resolute and decisive character. After making a decision, he ordered the Third Battalion to prepare and start to retreat when it is completely dark. Although there is a risk of troops collapsing in the night, it is much better than staying there all the time.

If you retreat, you may die, but if you don't withdraw, you will be 100% dead! Compared with the two, it is clear at a glance what choice to make.

In order to cover the retreat of the third battalion at night, and also to attract the attention of the Feng army, Tang Tianxi also ordered the troops to counterattack Hill 147 to continue to launch the attack, and at the same time, several heavy machine guns were drawn into the pressure array.

This heavy machine gun is not to counterattack Hill 147, but to cover the retreat of the 3rd Battalion!

With these heavy machine guns arranged in the back, if Fengjun dares to pursue them rashly, they will inevitably be hit by intensive firepower!

As the sky gets darker and darker, bright or dark flames appeared one after another on the positions of both sides, and the twirling bullets spewed by the machine guns of both sides was dazzling in the night.

At this time, the third battalion of Fengjun, which had been hit by double firepower and had killed and injured more than 100 people, finally began to retreat. If they waited for a few hours, it was estimated that they would collapse without Fengjun to continue fighting.

However, although Tang Tianxi had expected that the retreat would not be so easy, he still underestimated Feng Jun's reaction.

Seeing that the Wan army was going to retreat, Pei Lianying would let go of the ducks that had been put on the dinner plate, and immediately ordered Lv Jiantang of the 12th Regiment to increase the attack, and the bullets of the heavy machine gun were randomly sprinkled on the way of the Anhui army's retreat like no money.

Although there is a night block, it is exposed to the open area when the light bombs and tracer bullets indicate the ballistics and Anhui soldiers retreat back.

And what happens when a large number of living targets are exposed to the fire of heavy machine guns in the open area?

Generally speaking, you can refer to the situation of the brain-damaged light machine gunners in the anti-Japanese drama rushing out of the trenches and shooting light machine guns at the Japanese army!

Many heavy machine guns constitute multiple cross-fire, and this cross-fire is almost irresistible for infantry. It is often a series of bullets, and the soldiers of the third battalion of the Anhui army will be swept down, and as long as they are hit, they will basically die with the huge power of heavy machine gun bullets.

7.92mm heavy machine gun bullet hits the enemy within effective range. If it hits the chest and abdomen, it can make a big hole. If it hits the head, it can blow off half of the head. If it hits the limbs, it can basically directly break the limbs, so as long as it is hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, it will not die. He was seriously injured, and according to contemporary medical conditions, there is basically no way to save his life.

What will happen if a series of heavy machine gun bullets hit the same enemy? In the film and television drama, it is estimated that there are countless blood holes on the body, and the reality is that this person will be directly beaten into pieces of meat!

War is cruel, especially modern warfare is more cruel than the war in the era of cold weapons and guns!

Under the intensive machine gun fire, even with night cover, the third battalion of the Anhui army could easily leave. At the beginning of the breakout, less than ten minutes, the ground was already covered with corpses!

The fishy smell of blood, the smell of barbecue, the rotten smell of minced meat and the smell of gunpowder smoke are combined. If you get closer, the smell will only make people feel nauseous.

This open land on the north side of the 147 highlands has completely become a hell on earth at this moment!

At the beginning, the third battalion of the Anhui army was able to retreat in an organized way, but only 15 minutes later, the infantry battalion had a large-scale collapse. Whether it was officers or soldiers, they were running around, wanting to run out, and some wanted to return to the trench, and Some lay down directly in place, trembling and praying to God not to be hit.

Some were even scared and completely collapsed by this tragic scene. They threw down their guns and ran in any direction, while others squatted on the ground with their eyes blank.

Human beings are so vulnerable in the face of modern weapons!

The sound of machine guns continues, and occasionally there are explosions. There are also moans and shouts in the sound of guns. These businesses gather in the night sky, forming a unique noise on the battlefield.

And behind 147 Heights, Pei Lianying smiled. At this moment, the voice on the battlefield was as wonderful as fairy music!

The third battalion of the Anhui army has been completely defeated and collapsed by itself. Even if it can still escape a few people, this battalion is finished. Without a long rest and recovery, it is impossible for the third battalion to restore its combat effectiveness, because they are not only as heavy casualties, but have been completely defeated. The gas was completely destroyed. Although the people who escaped were still alive, they were not much different from death.

"Let the 12th Regiment work harder and try to completely leave the third battalion. In addition, pay attention to the enemy's counterattack firepower and don't venture forward!" Pei Lianying is in a good mood.

This is just one day of the battle. Strictly speaking, it is only nine hours, but I have achieved the result of defeating one battalion of the enemy army, and there are only a few infantry battalions in the 7th Brigade opposite?

Like the 6th Brigade itself, they are only six infantry battalions, one of which can be said to have caused a devastating blow to the Seventh Brigade, but it has also caused a major blow to the Seventh Brigade.

After part of the enemy's troops were annihilated, it would be easier for them to fight later!

That night, Pei Lianying also asked Zhao Dongzhi's 11th Regiment to launch a small-scale night attack. Of course, he did not expect to win the battle by the night attack. The main purpose was to carry out fire detection and harass the enemy to prepare for the next day's offensive.

At dawn the next day, Pei Lianying did not hesitate too much. Before the sky was completely bright, he had ordered the troops to launch a large-scale attack, and the direction of the breakthrough was still in the 12th Regiment.

This time, Lu Jiantang lived up to Pei Lianying's expectations. Only three hours after the regiment launched the head office, the good news came again. The first battalion of the regiment has broken through the main position of the enemy on the opposite side and diverted to expand the breakthrough to the right.

At this time, Pei Lianying decisively invested in a battalion as a reserve team to expand the results!

At 13 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Tianxi sent an emergency battle report to Duan Qirui, saying that the front line of the brigade was in danger and asked for emergency reinforcements!

An hour later, Tang Tianxi's messenger once again rode to Duan Qirui reluctantly, bringing Tang Tianxi's scribbled battle report. The war report said that the 7th Brigade was unstoppable, and he had led the troops to retreat and asked the 4th Division to send reinforcements to respond!
