Chapter 404 Blood-stained Ilzkuk 4

- It was not until the nose pulled up and returned to the sky that Tian Yun knew that he had done a stupid thing. He wasted ten minutes of precious fuel for a Russian, and he risked being hit. It was really stupid.

If it hadn't been for the power of the five pieces tied together in his grenade bag before departure, and the distance between the shrapnel and the steel balls had not been large enough. Otherwise, even if he had fallen to 100 meters and the speed had been reduced to 30 kilometers, it would not have blown up that guy.

I can only say that I'm lucky today, or that guy is naturally short-lived.

However, Tian Yun didn't expect that his crazy act of flying a plane to chase and kill relaxed the two formal partners, but they did not dare to play this technology. After all, the old bird has been flying alone for almost two years, and he has only flown for half a year. He still concentrates on guiding the artillery, and it is also a great achievement to do well.

With the help of three falcons, the artillery battle quickly improved. It was originally difficult to shell from the bottom up. Coupled with the blocking of the forest and stone castles, the 105mm shells were powerful enough to deal with the infantry, but it was much worse against the fortress, so it was difficult for the artillerymen of the 6th Infantry Division to make real achievements, especially for In the higher 101 Heights on the left wing, the angle of fire was almost up to the maximum. After spending thousands of shells, there were even Russian cannons that could fire. In addition, the dense Russian soldiers in front of the position blocked, the scouts could not get too close in broad daylight, so they could only continue to waste shells.

Fortunately, the Air Force came. Although it was the first time for everyone to see such a biplane, they were not as surprised and panicked as the Russians, because they were their comrades-in-arms.

Under the guidance of the three pilots with green eyes in the sky, the accuracy of the hit was getting higher and higher. Smoke kept rising in the depths of Hill 101, and the smoke even wrapped the whole mountain. But it was too far away from the base. After three air force fighters guided the shelling for half an hour, they had to withdraw in advance. .

Looking at the departing war eagle, Duan Qirui not only did not feel relaxed, but more pressure, because according to the last observation of the pilot before leaving, although the left-wing highland was seriously damaged, the main fortress in the middle was not very damaged. In the final analysis, the 105mm shell was not powerful enough, but unfortunately the 155mm heavy artillery was fired. At the beginning of the assembly, the Sixth Division went to the front line before it could be installed, which caused this situation.

But weapons are not the key to victory. There is no heavy artillery, and he still has a blasting barrel in his hand. Looking at the remnants of red on the horizon, he knew that the most cruel close-range battle was about to begin.

With clusters of bonfires ignited, the front of the Irkutsk fortress finally calmed down. Except for shells falling from time to time in the junction between the main fortress and the two highlands, the smoke from other places began to disperse. Two consecutive days of attacks have exhausted the soldiers on both sides, so the same Without continuing to attack, it seems that they are all accumulating strength for tomorrow.

Through the observation window, Martinov's thoughts were still calm in the picture of his friend Monov's sacrifice. He really couldn't figure out what those three things were. Didn't he say that the Chinese man made an airship? Why is there such a fast guy?!

Compared with Monov's sacrifice, he is even more annoyed that the reinforcements have not arrived so far. According to the speed of the Cossack cavalry, if they arrive at full speed after receiving the news, it will only take more than seven hours, and now it has been seven and a half hours!

What's wrong with it? Was Angalsk also attacked, so General Kuropatkin can't reinforce here? It shouldn't be.

Martinov looked at the map and shook his head. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated. Many places are still no man's land, and there is no road at all. Although it is not ruled out that the other party can find a path to bypass Chita and Irkutsk and go straight into Angarsk, it is not unprepared on his side, except for these two Bell. Outside the fortress on the left and right of Jiahu, there are as many as 40,000 troops scattered everywhere. Even if they are unarmed farmers on the eastern front, they should not be swallowed silently. What's more, most of the 200,000 troops on the middle line are the most elite troops. How can there be no news so far?

Maltinov looked at his pocket watch impatiently and paced back and forth. In addition to considering whether to send a second batch of cavalry for help to Angarsk, he was also worried about the right wing. The daytime attack had exposed the intention of the opponent's commander, that is, to take the high ground at all costs, and then put the cannon to the whole. On the head of Irkutsk.

According to the report of the soldiers sent by Lieutenant Colonel Paul, the right-wing high ground has suffered more than half of the casualties, and all the cannons have been destroyed after the three monsters appeared in the afternoon. Although the machine gun is still there, the machine gunners have changed three batches, but each batch can't last long. It is either killed or injured. Now the whole high ground The defense is already in jeopardy.

We must send living forces to the highlands as soon as possible!

But the main casualties in the past two days have been very high. After the death of Monof's 1,000 soldiers, the main strength has dropped from the highest 5,000 to 3,300 now. If you send troops, it will affect the defense here, so he thought of withdrawing troops from the left wing.

At 8:10, Martinov immediately sent people to contact the right wing and transferred 400 people from there, plus 300 people he gathered, ready to send them to the left wing fortress high ground.

And he didn't know that the opponent in front of him was also organizing forces to cover the attack on Hill 101 at night.

A thousand soldiers with white cloth wrapped in their arms look ahead and stand in line. Unlike ordinary soldiers who like to carry guns on one shoulder when they line up, they all have muzzle to the ground, their hands clenched, and look like they are ready to shoot at any time.

This is the most elite force of the 6th Infantry Division. Usually, they are the eyes and ears of the troops. When they advance, they are the sharp soldiers walking in the front, and when they retreat, they are the last line of defense of the troops. They are the direct reconnaissance battalions that every army division in the Xinhua Army will be equipped with.

Due to the performance of the Nighthawk in several battles, the general manager saw the power of small-scale special operations actively promoted by Li Mo, and finally contributed to the emergence of the special forces headquarters. This influence inevitably penetrated into the divisions. Even the Marine Corps became a seal similar to the Nighthawk a year ago. Although the commando team can't be compared with the ace of Nighthawk because of its short establishment time, this small and refined professional soldier model has been greatly promoted in the army.

The first brunt in the army is the reconnaissance battalions of each division, especially the reconnaissance battalion directly under the first division and second divisions. After it was even considered to have reached a high level by the eagle head Li Qiang and the general staff, this kind of battalion formed by experienced veterans began to be popularized in the divisions. After the general staff learned about it, they even released some night eagle training. The means and the elimination method of the survival of the fittest were adopted, and finally an updated reconnaissance company was formed.

The Army Command is also specially equipped with some special equipment for the reconnaissance battalion, such as the Type 9-8 light machine gun with drums, a large-power shotgun more suitable for close-range use, such as smaller but powerful grenades, and improved nine-millimeter black star pistols, sniper rifles. Wait, this kind of love has gradually enriched the combat capabilities and means of the reconnaissance battalion.

"The enemy is exhausted. I will ask the artillery to support you for 30 minutes, and you must land on Hill 101 in 30 minutes!"

"Yes."

"Let's go."

When Duan Qirui finished the task, the battalion commander saluted and only said yes, and then took the troops into the night first.

There is no declaration, no passionate words, just like their idol Nighthawk. Silence seems to be the heavenly name of this special force. They don't show up. They usually carry out some self-abuse-like training. In front of everyone, they love to laugh as much as ordinary soldiers. Even the division commander Duan Qirui only knows the reconnaissance camp training. The means have been strengthened a lot after the update, but it is not specific how strong it is, because it is the first time that the reconnaissance battalion of the Sixth Division has been put into battle.

When the reconnaissance camp disappeared in the night like a ghost, the artillery position, which had rested for a long time, roared earlier. After the shells brought out beautiful streams in the night sky, they smashed the ground fiercely, and then burst into a larger and more colorful mass of light.

Compared with the day, the shelling at night is undoubtedly beautiful. The blooming fireballs are like rising fireworks, bursting out dazzling brilliance, but also taking away countless lives.

When the shelling suddenly became fierce again, Martinov guessed that the other party would attack Hill 101 at night, but after sending the second batch of reinforcements, he could not draw any strength in his hand, so he could only hope that the reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

A low gasp was covered by the rumble of cannons. With the looming fire, the soldiers crawled to the ground and slowly climbed to Hill 101.

The explosion kept extending forward, as if opening the way for the reconnaissance camp. Following the footsteps of the shell, they sometimes jumped into the crater formed after the shell exploded, and sometimes hid behind the big tree, like a prairie wolf group looking for an opportunity to hunt in the night, touching the enemy little by little.

Thirty minutes is not much or less. When the last shell exploded, the Type-eight light machine gun, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly opened fire from a close, and the fiery red warhead with a fiery and rose-red light, cut through the darkness and concentrated on shooting at a little.

The Russian soldiers on Hill 101 were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that someone could hide behind the shells and charge at this late hour. While cursing the other party's life, they also got out of the bunker to prepare for fighting.

But they didn't expect that when they had just got out of the bunker, opened the shooting hole, and threw the torch on the low slope ahead, grenades suddenly fell not far away. When they withdrew their heads to wait for the explosion to come out, the grenades did not explode, but began to emit a large amount of thick smoke, and I didn't figure out the situation. Hundreds of such smoke bombs covered everyone's eyes, and even the firelight in the smoke seemed to dim a lot.

"Be careful!"

Lt. Colonel Paul immediately shouted that it was not good after seeing this. Although he didn't know how the other party could use this kind of smoke but not explode, and there was almost no lethal grenade, the diffuse smoke made his heart suddenly sink down and immediately called everyone on guard.

At this moment, the machine guns also suddenly disappeared. Everyone felt as if they were covered with a layer of gauze in front of them. They could only see something flashing in the gauze, but they often disappeared as soon as they raised the gun.

Some soldiers finally couldn't stand the silence. Just as everyone began to be frightened, a black figure with a touch of white suddenly came out of the smoke and stuffed a long subway pipe through the shooting hole.

In the bunker made of stones, the soldiers stared at the iron pipe and didn't understand what it was, but the smoke from the tail suddenly made them stagnate.

Boom!

A violent explosion suddenly sounded from Hill 101, and the rising fire could be clearly seen even more than ten kilometers away. The Russian soldiers stationed here widened their eyes. They never thought that this bunker made of big stones that had suffered any loss in the shells. Did you fly into the air?

Does it mean that the other party also brought the heavy artillery used by the navy? Otherwise, how can it cause this kind of damage?

The nightmare began, and the stones flying into the air began to fall, and huge stones fell down, making the Russian soldiers who were waiting for a mess, but this was not over yet. When they dodged the stones after the first bunker was blown up, the second, the third, and the dark castles were almost violently exploded. Even uprooted, the soldiers inside may not even be able to collect the bodies.

The sudden continuous violent explosions made the soldiers pale with fear, and the two hidden Maxim machine guns began to pour bullets around like waves, but soon they knew how wrong it was to expose themselves at night. The long flame at the muzzle was almost the best target, and the machine gun began to rejoice. After singing for a while, there was more and more fierce counterattacks. The ten machine guns that disappeared for a moment concentrated the bullets to two points at the same time. These machine gun positions that were not destroyed during the day were completely silent after only a few minutes.

"Kill!"

When the threat of the machine gun was eliminated, there was a sudden shout in the dark. Hundreds of soldiers wrapped in white cloth on their arms rushed into the chaotic fortress under the cover of smoke. They were skilled and shot quickly. They often fired one shot themselves, and they had already fired a few bullets.

The whole 101 Heights were in a mess, and the 700 fresh troops who had just arrived were submerged in the tide of soldiers before they could enjoy the enjoyment and the excitement of the comrades-in-arms.

The explosion of grenades, the shuttle of bullets, and all kinds of shouts and exclamations filled the whole 101 highlands. The melee in the night is almost a white blade fight. Often, as soon as you aim at me, my bullet has been fired.

The complex internal passage of the fortress and the external environment ploughed by shells make this kind of battle more fierce. The more experienced reconnaissance battalion soldiers are obviously more experienced than Russian soldiers. Under the cover of grenades, they quickly clean up the enemy along the channels.

The soldiers of the 6th Infantry Division stood up one after another and looked at the burning 101 Heights. No one knew what was going on there, but it was clear that it must be a very tragic battle.

"Let's go, Hill 101!"

With a loud charge, the infantry who had rested for half a day rushed out of the camp like a tide and rushed to Hill 101
