The mobile armored force does not have an artillery establishment. Bian Ge obtained these seven cannons from the airport supplies.
The defenders had long known that there was a batch of mortars in the reserves, but artillery was a technical branch, and even relatively simple mortars were not easy to master, so this batch of mortars had never been put to use.
However, the armored soldiers are either special forces or scouts, and they have sufficient knowledge of various active weapons. Regardless of whether they are flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, as long as the equipment is in active service, they can find suitable operators.
Even if he gets a few heavy artillery pieces, Bian Ge can still find qualified gunners, it's just a few mortars, it's trivial.
The indiscriminate bombing at any cost successfully protected the safety of the retreating personnel. When the last group of personnel evacuated the airport, Bian Ge immediately notified the troops to withdraw.
The twenty armored vehicles no longer struggled with the insect swarm and immediately drove back.
However, the insect swarm had no intention of just letting the armored convoy go, and continued to rush towards the armored vehicle without mercy.
The armored vehicle retreated while shooting, but it could not clear away all the wolves on the vehicle.
The convoy gradually approached the defense line, and at the same time, a large number of wolves followed the convoy step by step.
Bian Ge waved his hand: "The medium-caliber machine gun targets the armored vehicle. Raise the muzzle and fire freely. The large-caliber machine gun will clear out the wolf bugs. Shoot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than sixty machine guns on the defense line opened fire at once. The intensive gunfire was like a sea tide, and the deadly bullets were like a downpour, pouring head-on on the swarm of insects.
The gap to evacuate the airport was only 40 meters wide, but it contained more than 20 medium-caliber machine guns and more than 30 large-caliber machine guns. The density of firepower was terrifying.
The well-trained soldiers never fired randomly without restraint. Each burst of fire had a clear target. They never fired aimlessly because of the menacing giant insects, but tried their best to save bullets as much as possible.
The firing speed of automatic weapons is extremely high. If you hold the trigger tightly, more than a hundred rounds of bullets can be fired in a blink of an eye. Experienced soldiers will not blindly fire at any time, only for the first time on the battlefield.
Only a newbie can hug the fire and never let go.
This is true for machine guns, not to mention rifles. A fully armed soldier only carries more than 200 rounds of ammunition, including six or seven magazines. If he can change the magazines faster, he can carry them all in one or two minutes.
All the bullets were fired.
Mortars, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and multiple crossfires formed a dense fire net in front of the defense line. Any giant insect that crashed into it would be torn apart by the ruthless rain of bullets.
The first batch of fallen wolves piled up more than 200 meters away from the defense line. The wolves that knew no fear and were not afraid of life and death rushed towards the only defense line like a tide. The wolves in front fell, and the ones behind immediately rushed up, and then
Fall down and rush up again. Each fallen wolf insect is a bunker for its companions. The piled up insect corpses gradually form a low wall. Even the powerful 12.7 mm heavy machine gun cannot penetrate dozens of them.
Front and rear stacking of wolf worms.
With the help of the cover of the corpse wall, the insect swarm slowly but surely advanced step by step, slowly approaching the defense line.
The insect swarm is raging, and the ammunition consumption on the defense line is extremely high. The soldiers who have no combat missions temporarily serve as temporary assistant shooters, constantly sending the ammunition accumulated behind the defense line to the position, and hanging it on the ammunition chain that is about to be fired in time to ensure the maximum firepower of the machine gun.
of continuity.
The swarm of insects was getting closer and closer, and the returning convoy also slowly approached the position. After closing the distance, the machine gun fire became more accurate, and the machine gunners began to clear the wolf insects on the vehicle according to Bian Ge's order.
It wasn't until the convoy drove to a place only fifty or sixty meters away from the position that the machine gunner killed the last wolf worm, and the crossfire effectively intercepted the wolf worms following the armored vehicle. The convoy finally returned safely with a car full of worm blood.
However, this trip not only destroyed the ammunition stored in the armored vehicles, but also caused some damage to the armored vehicles. If the wheels had not been puncture-proof tires, at least half of the twenty armored vehicles would have been thrown onto the airport.
The convoy drove past the position and lined up behind the defense line. Ye Han jumped out of the car, feeling quite disgraced and dejected.
Bian Ge glanced back and immediately turned around to continue to pay attention to the movements of the insect swarm: "Ye Han, replenish the ammunition immediately. Leave the first squadron to me. You can lead the other two squadrons and the battalion to withdraw first, take over the defense of each intersection, and let the garrison
Get out first."
The organization of the uniformed troops is not directly adapted from the Army standard, but is progressively organized in units, squadrons, groups, and detachments. The battalion-level organization should be the brigade headquarters. However, Bian Ge was born in the Army and has always been accustomed to applying the Army organization.
"Yes!" Ye Han agreed, "How many intersections are there in total on the road?"
"I don't know. Please contact the garrison directly to coordinate."
"Understood!" Ye Han agreed and immediately arranged for the troops to replenish ammunition.
The ammunition truck was parked nearby. The soldiers rushed up and filled the armored vehicle's magazine in just a few minutes.
Ye Han took the opportunity to contact the Shayuan headquarters. After asking, he learned that there were more than thirty intersections that needed to be defended from the airport to the next defense line. The two squadrons plus the battalion headquarters had less than thirty armored vehicles. One intersection was placed
There are not enough cars.
And Ye Han believes that there should be at least two cars at an intersection.
It was unrealistic to fully take over the defense of this road. Ye Han immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to place two armored vehicles at each intersection, lining up at each intersection until all armored vehicles entered combat positions.
There is no rush to take over the remaining intersections, and there is nothing wrong with letting the garrison guard them for a while.
Ye Han jumped onto the battalion's armored vehicle before the ammunition was replenished and directed several vehicles to evacuate first. However, after he withdrew to the first intersection, he stayed behind to take over the defense and let other vehicles continue to retreat.
The first batch of vehicles to be withdrawn were either ammunition trucks or cooking trucks. The vehicles only had one machine gun for self-defense, and their combat capabilities were very limited. However, at this juncture, Ye Han could not care so much and ordered the convoys to take over the defense in order.
A few minutes later, the first batch of armored vehicles with replenished ammunition was withdrawn. Ye Han immediately ordered the auxiliary vehicles to continue to retreat, and combat vehicles filled the gaps until all armored vehicles of the two squadrons were in place.
At this time, it had been more than 20 minutes since Bian Ge issued the order to retreat, and gunfire from the direction of the airport kept ringing.
"Ye Han wants to call Bian Ge's radio: "Captain, all troops are in place!"
"Get ready for battle!"
"Ready for battle!"
"Received!" Bian Ge cut off the communication and switched to the communication frequency of Shayuan Command. "Commander Yu, how is the situation of the troops?"
"Large troops have withdrawn behind the Huangsha River defense line, and only a small number of defensive troops remain on the north bank."
"Our unit is about to evacuate the airport, requesting fire support!"
