Chapter 968 The Black Hawk Empire has arrived
On the evening of October 2, the Engineer Company, as the first vanguard, set off from the Independent Regiment's garrison to Beizhaoguan 8 kilometers away, followed by the First Infantry Battalion, then the Artillery Battalion Mountain Artillery Company, Mortar Company, Anti-aircraft Artillery Company and an Infantry Company drawn from the Bayonet Battalion.
Although Liu Dazhu was holding back and didn't say anything, Liu Lang still felt the aggrievance of this old brother. In terms of military achievements, the bayonet was located above all the infantry battalions in the ancient city, but this time he did not get the first battle. Liu Lang had to let his 8th company be the police force of the artillery battalion, which was a comfort. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Zhou Da went out and said he did not say hello to a few old comrades when he went out. The first battle he got was taken away. Who wouldn't get angry? The youngest battalion commander in front of the front also expressed his unhappiness in not getting the first chance.
However, Liu Lang was very satisfied with the attitude of fighting among his infantry battalions. What he wanted was this kind of iron-blooded and fearless spirit. Since he was a soldier, he was afraid of death and went back to the baby, what should he do on the battlefield?
Under the escort of the field hospital's guard platoon, the field hospital also finished dinner at 8 pm and set off slowly towards the direction of Beizhaoguan. After investigation by the special brigade, they were found for a garrison for them.
Although the safety of the field hospital is basically not to worry about two kilometers behind Beizhao Pass, the guard platoon of the field hospital is basically composed of women, and Liu Lang is still worried about insufficient defense.
I was going to strengthen the entire guard platoon of the regiment headquarters to the field hospital, but everyone in the regiment headquarters opposed it. In their opinion, Liu Lang, the regiment commander, was the most important backbone, and sent all the guard platoons out. The regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao was going to lead the rest of the troops to Yinan Village. When he saw that no one was in charge, he would just use his name as the battalion commander to go to the front line of Beizhaoguan?
No sight of swords and guns, no matter how powerful the commander Liu is, he has to rely on luck under the fire of cannons all over the sky. Seeing that Zhang Ruhao, a white-faced scholar, almost throwing his hat, Liu Lang had to give up his plan to get rid of the "tail" of the guard platoon.
In the end, he had to find Lin Li and asked him to send his six men to station the field hospital led by Chen Yunfa, the strongest special forces team under his command. On the one hand, he increased the defense of the field hospital, and on the other hand, he could also use the daytime to investigate the areas around Beizhao Pass, so as not to be encircled by the Black Hawk Empire from the mountain roads like in time and space.
The mountains here are too complex and the front lines are too long, so the defensive positions of the Kingdom Army are still insufficient. Just like a fence, no matter how dense it is, there are holes everywhere. Even if Liu Lang knows it, he cannot defend every path.
Liu Lang's caution eventually gave him a reward. If it weren't for this small arrangement, even if Liu Lang and the Independent Corps killed the entire 20th Division, they would not be able to relieve their hatred.
Because no one expected that the first battle between the Independent Regiment and the Black Hawk Empire was not at Beizhao Pass, but after Beizhao Pass.
And that was also the first time that two old friends met since they parted in Shinkai Castle, although they were several kilometers apart.
On the evening of October 2, Xiongxinzhuang fell.
This important town in the northern part of the kingdom, the throat of Heyuzhou, connects Lingpizhou Chengguan City, with more than 20,000 troops of the 20th Division of the Black Hawk Imperial Army flocking in.
Zhang Liang led his special attack team to 20 people, and set off overnight in this dark night without the moon and stars.
Target, Pizhou, the ancient Yongfeng Mountain Area.
This special attack team did not take the main road or the railway. They all followed the mountains, facing the military map they carried. Although the night was dark, they still looked toward the Guyong Peak 60 kilometers away.
Moreover, they are all very agile, and the rugged mountain roads and steep mountains cannot help them.
Unlike ordinary Black Hawks, they also carry pistols. The Black Hawks, led by Zhang Liang, are equipped with submachine guns and pistols are inserted at the waist. Many people even carry a knife behind their backs, and there is already a trace of the prototype of special forces.
There is no doubt that this is definitely an extremely elite Black Hawk Army squad. In terms of firepower alone, its combat effectiveness is no less than that of a Black Hawk Army squad. If it is coupled with its excellent cold weapon combat power and close combat, an ordinary infantry platoon will not be their opponent.
What's so bad is that the target on their map is behind the Guyongfeng Kingdom Army Defense Zone, where many auxiliary troops of the Kingdom Army are located, including the Independent Regiment Field Hospital.
Zhang Liang's purpose was to investigate the terrain of the Guyongfeng area and assassinate important generals of the Kingdom army to attack the morale of the Kingdom army.
A military branch with weaker protection like field hospitals is their best target. For the brutal Black Hawk Army, there is no such thing as a "war treaty" that battlefield medical staff should be protected.
On the morning of October 3, the first battalion of the 66th Regiment of the 86th Brigade, led by its regiment commander Colonel Ye, quietly arrived at the Beizhaoguan Defense Zone. After exchanging military uniforms with embroidered numbers, the bayonet carried a part of the supply back to Yinan Village with the flag of the 66th Regiment. As usual, on the evening of October 3, the second battalion of the 66th Regiment, led by Colonel Wang, rushed to Beizhaoguan, and the death camp carried the supply back to Yinan Village in the early morning of the next day.
On the night of October 4, the Third Battalion of the 66th Regiment rushed to Beizhao Pass, and the Artillery Battalion of the Independent Regiment's Bastion Company was transferred to Yinan Village.
At this point, the Independent Regiment and the 86th Brigade successfully completed the process of hiding the flowers and connecting trees. Not to mention that the Black Hawk Empire Army did not know, even the war zone was hidden by Liu Lang.
As for the two troops' frequent exchanges in the past two days, it was precisely the defense zone of the 169th Division of the Seventh Army Yang Jing and Wu Shimin. The gifts that Commander Liu began to give finally played a big role at this time. He was short of people and was stingy with people's hands and soft mouths. You have taken so many benefits from the other party's rogue leader. What's wrong with the two troops doing some private transactions? Who made Commander Liu rich!
All the troops who arrived on the battlefield did not do anything else, but were all desperate fortifications.
The battlefield of Beizhaoguan was also divided into the main position and the left and right wings by Liu Lang.
Because the Black Hawk Empire's tactics are just two moves, one attacks the front, two circumnavigation on the flank, and a small force will be sent to circumnavigate the back and raid it.
The Black Hawk Army is extremely stubborn in this regard. Whether it is in plains or mountainous areas, its tactics have never changed, but the effect is surprisingly good.
The reason is very simple. He has sufficient firepower on the front battlefield, and it is extremely difficult for the Kingdom Army to resist. Even if he has a reserve team, he usually either supports the frontal positions or strengthens the protection of the two wings. How many troops can he have to block their combat troops that work hard to walk around ten miles or even more than ten miles with small and squadrons as basic units? Will the Black Hawk Army, which has been enjoying the sweetness, easily give up its infantry tactics that have repeatedly tried and worked?
Including the battle of Liu Lang's ancient city, the Black Hawk Army also did this. A squadron's elite Black Hawk Army climbed up the mountain and fought to the death with the regiment guards. Although it completely wiped out the infiltration of the Black Hawk Army, the Independent Regiment's guard platoon also suffered heavy losses.
The person responsible for the main position of Beizhaoguan was no one else, but the First Infantry Battalion of the Independent Regiment. The company commander of the First Infantry Battalion of the First Infantry Battalion was personally appointed by the Deputy Battalion Commander Ye Zihua.
Starting from the early morning of October 3, the explosions on the defensive positions of Beizhao Pass have never stopped. The Third Army, several kilometers away, was so scared that they hurriedly sent people to inquire. It was not until they heard that the Independent Regiment was using explosives to dig fortifications that they put their hearts in their stomachs.
The Guyongfeng area is basically dominated by Shitou Mountain. After a engineer shovels down, he leaves a white mark. However, Liu Lang knew very well that there was a road here, and the artillery corps of the permanent division of the 20th Division, such as the A-type division, had a howitzer brigade.
It is not a 75-caliber mountain cannon, but a 105-caliber howitzer. After that, it not only became powdered by dozens of meters in a radius, but also the stone fragments burst out everywhere and deepened its lethality.
The 17th Division was in Xuehua Mountain and Jiangrui Mountain because the fortifications were not dug well because of the short time, which resulted in heavy casualties.
Liu Lang gritted his teeth and used all the thousands of kilograms of strong explosives carried by the baggage company to Beizhao Pass, not to blow up the Black Hawk Empire, but to blow up his own positions, dig mountains and dig trenches to build back-sloping fortifications.
Although it cannot be as complete as the battle of the ancient city in the past, as long as soldiers can retreat to the anti-aircraft fortifications behind the ridge in the shortest time, casualties will be greatly reduced.
Under Liu Lang's death order, by October 4, more than 3,000 people stationed in Beizhaoguan area were stopped under the guidance of the Independent Regiment's engineer company, and they stopped working without stopping. Even at night, they would light up the torches and excavate fortifications. This was related to everyone's life. Whether it was the Independent Regiment or the 66th Regiment of the 86th Brigade, they were all barefoot and couldn't move. They just lay down next to them, and snoring sounded like thunder. No matter how loud the sound was next to them, they couldn't wake them up. When they were hungry, the steamed buns made by more than a dozen cooking teams at the foot of the mountain, with fat meat and a pot of vegetable soup, were so exciting that you could make.
Even the Black Hawks' reconnaissance planes flew over their heads and never stopped building fortifications.
The Black Hawk Army's reconnaissance aircraft was very brave. In order to see more carefully, it even reduced the altitude below 500 meters and hovered over Guyong Peak.
It was not until the third army on the main position of Gu Yongfeng that a row of heavy machine guns fired at the sky that they turned the head and jumped up to the sky again, and even swept a few bullets at the position below. Their rampant meaning was almost out.
Zhao Ergou was so angry that he jumped straight on the anti-aircraft cannon position at the foot of the mountain, but he never ordered the cannon to fire.
There are also three anti-aircraft gun positions around the Beizhaoguan position. In addition to reinforce the 17th Division, the remaining 20mm double-mounted Sulutong anti-aircraft guns and 8 artillery battalions in the remaining infantry battalions, a total of 18 Sulutong anti-aircraft guns were divided equally into three anti-aircraft gun positions. In addition, each of their positions was equipped with 8 MG42 heavy machine guns with lengthened barrels.
With such firepower, not to mention this small reconnaissance aircraft with a flight speed of only 450 kilometers, it is a fighter aircraft with a speed of 550 kilometers per hour. Once it is fired with all its strength by such a triangular anti-aircraft gun, it can instantly be beaten into a little turkey.
However, in order to catch a big guy, Zhao Ergou could only watch the rampant small reconnaissance plane flew away in a swagger.
The "little turkey" flew away.
However, there are many covetous eyes on the positions where the Independent Regiment is vigorously constructing fortifications.
Chapter completed!
