Chapter 253 Han Hezhuang's Bloody Battle 3
When platoon leader Li Cung-g-gyo blew the bronze whistle, his sweaty hand grasped the ammunition box and magazine in his hand. He was scared!
The light machine gun shooter who just transferred from the second row nodded to him at this time: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't run straight later. Well, just follow me closely and I promise you won't die!"
Then he followed the shooter to climb out of the trench. After rushing out of the trench, although he had forgotten all the tactical actions he had learned in previous training, he followed the machine gun shooter in front of him. For a moment, he seemed to forget that the shell exploded beside him and the bullet flew over his head. At that time, his mind was almost blank, and he just kept running forward.
However, when he ran halfway, the machine gun shooter in front quickly lay on the ground and then suppressed the direct army opposite him. His shooting method was far from being compared with Dong Daquan, a half-hearted deputy shooter. A few simple shots suppressed the direct soldiers who wanted to shoot back.
Dong Daquan also quickly stopped his pace and lay on the ground. However, when he closely watched the remaining number of bullets in the magazine, his body was suddenly pressed by someone. He reached out and touched the sticky clothes in his hand. Obviously, it should be his comrade-in-arms who was shot.
Looking back, he saw Li Cun Gao's conspicuous officer uniform in the firelight of the explosion. Li Cun Gao's hand was still holding the gold-plated five-star saber tightly. He heard that this command knife was awarded the plating issued by Zhao Dongyun himself because he ranked fourth in the second phase of the infantry department when he graduated from the army officers of the three eastern provinces. The golden five-star saber, which is the same as the knife body of other officers, is the knife style of Beiyang army officers in the Yuan Shikai era, but the end of the knife handle is engraved with gold-plated five stars and republican characters. This five-star represents the five-color star of the national emblem of the northern republican government.
The body of the knife is imported directly from Germany. As for the knives of ordinary officers, they are not so good. In addition to the sabres of senior generals and cavalry, which continue to be imported from Germany or Japan, most of the knives of middle and low-level officers are mass-produced by Fuyuan Machine Factory, so the quality is naturally not as good as that of Japan or The knife body imported from Germany is so good.
As a result, many officers of the Feng army dislike the poor quality of the saber of Fuyuan Machine Factory. They often buy a good knife at private funds, and then change the standard knife handle as a knife, but they can change the knife body, but this gold-plated five-star knife handle can only be used by officers personally granted by Zhao Dongyun, not just the military The top five top students in the official school, and those officers who have meritorious officers are sometimes awarded gold-plated five-star sabers.
This gold-plated five-star saber is part of the honor system in the Feng army!
In the whole seventh mixed brigade, there are only five or six people such as Li Cung-go who use the gold-plated five-star saber. Even Li Chun, the brigade commander, can't use this gold-plated five-star army.
In the past, no matter what the occasion, Li Cun Gao was inseparable from the knife, but today, this gold-plated five-star saber fell next to Li Cun Gao!
Dong Daquan immediately shouted, "P row leader, platoon leader!"
Li Cengai turned his head and may have been separated by the sharp gravel on the ground. His face was stained with blood, and he looked extremely terrible when mixed with the soil!
"Why don't you rush?" Li Cung-gao struggled to stand up again. The clean saber that he wiped in the past was directly inserted on the ground by him, but the severe pain from his right shoulder made him clenched his teeth.
At this time, Dong Daquan did not answer his words in time, but quickly handed a new magazine to the shooter next to him. After changing the magazine, he half squatted and climbed over and wanted to pick up Li Ceng Gao.
At this time, the first row of soldiers rushing to the front had arrived at the trenches of the direct army one after another, and then threw down a round of *. Before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, they had already rushed directly with rifles with bayonets.
Seeing that the two sides stood together, and the direct army heavy machine guns on the opposite side also fired one after another, the light machine gun shooter decisively stopped the practice of continuing to shoot and support, but picked up the light machine gun and continued to rush forward, and said, "Go quickly!"
Dong Daquan held Li Cung-gao and also followed. Although Li Cung-gao's shoulder was stained red by blood, and the severe pain made him clenched his teeth, he also forced to continue to move forward. Otherwise, staying in this open land would be a dead word sooner or later.
In the sound of the explosion around him, Li Cungao and Dong Daquan moved forward step by step in the bullets that flew by before and behind them. After they crossed the trenches of the direct army, there were no more direct soldiers standing in the trenches.
There are still * bodies lying around the trench, five or six of which are gray military uniforms of the direct army, while the others are wearing khaki Feng army uniforms.
In the charge just now, although Li Cun Gao was hit on the way, he had rushed to the second half at that time. The soldiers continued to rush forward according to the prior order and directly fought with the straight army with rifles with bayonets.
The battle of white blade battle is a great test of the morale and the training quality of an army, and the quality of soldiers on both sides is actually not much different. Zhao Dongyun's seventh mixed brigade is a regular field army from the old Beiyang. Wang Yingkai's first division is not an unknown division, but the morale of the two sides is quite different, and the direct army Starting from the afternoon, in order to attack Tangshan, in order to conquer this small Han Hezhuang, he first invested a multi- battalion of troops. After * hours of fierce fighting, although the direct army conquered the first defense line of the Feng army, it still failed to take Han Hezhuang. At this time, the attacking direct infantry battalion actually lost its strength. There are already quite a lot.
These days, the attacking side always needs to pay a greater price than the defense side to achieve certain results.
The direct infantry platoon that was fighting just now fought fiercely for more than an hour, and after losing more than 10 people, there were less than 30 people left, and there was no fire support of light machine guns, and there was no such melee weapon, so after throwing a round of * to Li Cun Gao's first platoon, there were many deaths and injuries immediately, and then When more than 40 people in Li Cungao's first row rushed to launch a white-edged battle with bayonet rifles, the direct army could not resist it at all, but with a slight contact, and the remaining 20 people dispersed to the rear.
However, the just round of * attack and the white-blade battle that lasted less than a minute also successfully killed and injured more than ten people. Not to mention the injured and escaped, there were as many as six bodies left.
And Li Cungo's first row was killed by three people, and three others were killed on the way to charge!
Although the death toll on both sides is similar, this is a great victory for a charge attack launched from the front battlefield.
You don't see that when Japan and Russia launched an offensive war in the Russo-Japanese War, the bodies fell from the attacking side were piece by piece. Even in the domestic civil war, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen's troops were much more elite than the Southern Federation, but they rarely rushed directly to the front position of the Southern Federation, most of the time It is to play a small range of tactical maneuvers, or simply use artillery to directly bombard the enemy to disperse, and the infantry can easily occupy the position.
Li Cungao gritted his teeth at this time, while Dong Daquan wrapped him on the surface with gauze: "Platoon leader, you shed a lot of blood. I'm afraid it will continue like this..."
Li Cungao looked down at his shoulder. From the bullet hole, he could see that he was hit by a 6.5mm bullet of the direct army. Fortunately, it was just a rifle bullet. If it was replaced by a 7.92mm Mark Qin heavy machine gun bullet, it was estimated that a big hole would be shot out of his shoulder at such a close distance. However, even if he has not studied medicine, he knows that he is not far from death if he continues to bleed like this.
But now in such an emergency, I can't leave!
After the light machine guns in the first row were set up, the machine gunners skillfully shot and once again suppressed the direct army on the opposite side. At this time, although Han Wuduo's tactical ability was very average, he also saw an opportunity. Before long, the second and third rows rushed up.
Four hours later, Han Wuduo's second company successfully counterattacked and occupied part of the first line of defense, forcing the enemy to retreat on a large scale for the first time.
"Lieutenant Li, your injury is very serious. I'll send you back to the regiment department for treatment first!" Han Wuduo did not want Li Cung-go to die while fighting under his command.
Although Li Cungo is only a lieutenant, as a top student who has just graduated this year, he has already been on the reusal list of the early morning. After a few months of gilding at the grassroots level, he will not be promoted to company commander, and there is a greater possibility that he will be directly transferred to the headquarters or division headquarters and brigade as a combat staff officer. One position.
The staff system in the Feng army is a little special. The staff of the headquarters has great power, which leads to the fact that the staff power of the subordinate troops at all levels is not small, and because there are no deputy positions at the two levels of division and mixed brigade in the Feng army!
The deputy in the Feng army is only at the level of the infantry regiment. The brigade and division do not have the positions of deputy brigade commander and deputy division commander, but the brigade chief of staff and division chief of staff, with a group of combat staff under the chief of staff.
The rank of combat staff in this field force is low, and they are generally captain. Generally, those who can be the combat staff are generally excellent lieutenants, who will be promoted to major in the future.
People like Li Cunghao are destined to stay at the level of lieutenant platoon leader for a long. Even if there is no war, it is estimated that a captain will be born in a few months, and it will take a year or two to be promoted to major.
If this kind of young officer, who is famous and focuses on training, dies under his command at the grassroots level, he will be blamed by his superiors.
And there is also a reason that Li Cung-go put too much pressure on him here. In fact, the actual commander of the second company in today's battle is not Han Wuduo, but Li Cun Gao. Although Li Cunggao did not jump the command, but often gave himself advice to himself to agree with his battle plan, he was at least a captain and company commander. He also attended the army officer school of the three eastern provinces. Although he was ranked 200 when he graduated, at least I also went to the military academy, which was The younger generation treats it as stupid, which makes Han Wuduo feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Now seeing Li Cung-go injured, he naturally immediately sent Li Cung-go to the rear, so as not to continue to look at him without feeling uncomfortable.
