Chapter 265 The Doomsday of the 4th Brigade (8)
The kingdom soldiers operating around the two artillery brigades of the Black Hawk Imperial Army were actually three infantry battalions under Liang Yun, who was ordered to support the Independent Regiment.
As early as before the onslaught of the offensive and defensive battle, they were asked by Liu Lang to cross mountains and ridges from ten miles to approach the Black Hawk Army artillery positions, and the time to get close should not be too early, and they had to wait until evening.
The distance should not be too far, and it is better to keep a distance of 400 to 500 meters from the enemy infantry responsible for defense.
It is too early to be discovered by the Black Hawk Army. As long as the distance is enough, 24 cannons will kill people.
It is natural that the distance you contact is too far. As long as you have a few cannons that can be reached, you will not be able to take advantage of it.
Therefore, how to control time and distance is also a meticulous job, as if wandering on the tip of a knife. Fortunately, Liu Lang was relieved that the 29th Army, which could resist the Black Hawk Army for half a month, was indeed well-trained. Tang Yongming, the deputy of the 28th Regiment, brought the three infantry battalions to the best location provided by Ling Hong without any mistakes.
In order to strengthen the attack power of the three infantry battalions of friendly forces, Liu Lang also specially sent a machine cannon platoon to assist them, three MG42s and three mortars, plus the several heavy machine guns brought by the infantry battalion, which was enough to block the two infantry squadrons of the Black Hawk Army.
As for the Black Hawk Empire artillery that picked up weapons, they can basically not be counted.
Not everyone says that guns can be beaten just by picking them up.
After five hours, the No. 2,000 troops of the Black Hawk Artillery Brigade stared at each other with more than a thousand kingdom troops on the opposite position.
Not only the Black Hawk Empires were nervous, but the Kingdoms were nervous too.
The order they received was to confront the Black Hawk Army, but they didn't say when the confrontation was. Besides, the 2,000 Black Hawk Empire Black Hawk Empires were not made of paper. In the past, if there were 2,000 Black Hawk Empires, they would have to dispatch at least one brigade. Now the three battalions are bold enough to stare at each other, and the battalion commanders have been in a state of mind for a long time.
Anyway, the regiment deputy had already told me before coming, and it would be fine if he was just competing with the Blackhawk Empires in the artillery brigade, but if the Blackhawk Empires on the 4th Brigade 8 miles away had any changes, the big guy would retreat into the mountains.
But strangely, the Black Hawk Empire people on the opposite side did not move, and the remnants of the 4th Brigade were also quiet. Then, the side of their own people was very quiet.
Tang Yongming, who set up the temporary command center under a cliff, was very anxious and paced back and forth. It was nothing for the officers and soldiers to stay overnight, but the key was that they didn't know the tactical intentions of the commanders of the commander of the army to whom they sent had already sent Liang Yun's orders. He listened to the command of Commander Liu of the Independent Regiment. He would do whatever he said he would do. If he said it was a confrontation, then he would confront him. As long as he didn't say he retreated, he would do it according to military law.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already one o'clock in the morning. The temperature outside had reached more than ten degrees below zero. The soldiers must be too cold in the trenches that were temporarily dug. Tang Yongming sprayed a breath of white air and stomped his feet, which were already numb and numb. He was frozen overnight in this ghost weather. At dawn, I wonder how many people could pull the bolt and pull the trigger?
Indeed, in such weather, it is still in the wild, and the cold wind in the north can almost freeze the cracks of human bones.
But no matter which side, no one dared to light a bonfire to keep warm. Both sides had black paint on their positions.
It is completely a mortal to illuminate yourself in front of the enemy. Not to mention mortars, even grenade launchers can send people who dare to seek warmth to hell where you can no longer experience warmth.
Everyone hides their efforts behind the shallow trenches, looking forward to the rise of the sun at dawn and the warmth of the sun is the greatest wish of every soldier now.
The commander of the Kingdom Army was nervous that the soldiers were so cold that they were about to die. On the other hand, the Black Hawk Army was not much better.
The two artillery captains and two infantry squadrons were also hiding in a small valley behind the position and discussing. If they change the place, a lieutenant colonel, a major and two captains could just make a table of mahjong, but in the temperature of minus ten degrees below the barren mountains and rivers, the four Black Hawk Imperial officers wearing military coats were like four trembling quails, putting their hands together on a small lantern that took off the cover and roasted the fire.
Obviously, if it weren't for this valley blocking the fire, I'm afraid the four Black Hawk Army officers who could determine the fate of 2,000 people would not even get this little warmth.
"What do you think the damn kingdoms want to do? Why don't they attack or retreat?" an officer asked gritted his teeth.
"Captain Xie, the kingdom army does not want to attack. At least, they do not want to launch an attack at night, or the focus of their attack is not on us." The Black Hawk Army Captain who was asked looked involuntarily at the direction of the 4th Brigade position and answered confidently.
"Captain Tian, what about your opinion?" Xie Weizheng turned his gaze to another captain.
Professionals are responsible for professional matters. Although they are the commanders, Xie Weizheng still puts his hopes on the two infantry squadron captains when he is alive and dies. There is no problem with his choice.
"I disagree with Captain Wang's opinion. Judging from the fact that the kingdom people built fortifications as soon as they came, it seemed that their purpose was to hold us back, otherwise, with their strength, there would be more than these people. In the afternoon's battle, the 4th Brigade lost more than 4,000 people. They might have reached the strength of a division. Major General Yang ruined the honor of the 4th Brigade, but..." a gloomy young captain replied.
"Shut up, Captain Tian, pay attention to your words. You and I can criticize you?" another major in the Black Hawk Army who did not speak growled.
Obviously, the young captain who had great opinions about Yang Huan was his subordinate.
"Captain Tian, continue to talk about your opinion." Xie Weizheng seemed to have no concern about the offense to Yang Huan in his subordinates' words.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For the Black Hawk Army, whose rank is extremely strict, Shangguan can even directly judge his subordinates' death penalty, it almost means that he also thinks so.
"If I am the commander of the Kingdom people and want to swallow the 4th Brigade, I will definitely launch a night attack on us first. Only by killing us completely can they siege the 4th Brigade's position without any scruples." Captain Tian replied confidently.
Xie Wei fought to look at the position of the dark kingdom army in the distance and murmured: "The division commander has sent reinforcements and will arrive at Anwupo at 10 o'clock tomorrow. We only need to hold on for another 9 hours. If the kingdoms want to attack us, they will definitely be on guard against the 2000th Imperial Army of the 4th Brigade. However, except for the more than a thousand enemy troops in our side, there is no movement. It seems that the kingdom commander does not have the courage of the Bensang..." After walking back and forth for two steps, as if he had made up his mind: "I order all artillery soldiers to return to the artillery position and turn the muzzle to the direction of the 4th Brigade in the northwest. Except for the 3rd 8th Infantry Squadron, the necessary personnel will be left to monitor the movements of the kingdom. Captain Tian, the safety of the rear wing of the position will be left to you. The rest of the people will rest on the spot. The whole army will provide necessary artillery support to the 4th Brigade in the war."
"But..." Captain Tian wanted to continue persuading, but Wei Xie waved his hand: "Although I support Captain Wang's opinion more, but in the original Sang, even if the kingdoms want to attack us, our soldiers cannot be frozen and rested all night. Then there is no need to wait until dawn, and the imperial soldiers can't even hold the guns."
Captain Tian was silent. Shangguan's reason was also very sufficient, which made him unable to refute.
"However, Lieutenant Colonel Liu and Lord Yang sent military orders to hold our positions and blow up cannons if necessary." Another major of the Black Hawk Army, who had a lower rank than Xie, said in a panic.
"Major, Your Excellency Yang just wants to safeguard the honor of his 4th Brigade, but he abandoned us." Xie Weizheng's face was as gloomy as the north wind blowing beside him. He left a hard sentence with a word.
The major was stunned. Although they were all captains, he was under the rank of the lower level and was automatically controlled by Xie Weizheng during the war. Moreover, Xie Weizheng did not say that he was sitting there and watching the friendly forces be attacked. Apart from not implementing Yang Huan's order to bomb the cannon, his military order was fine.
