With his command, the artillery position, which is still shrouded in darkness, suddenly flashed with fire, and the muzzle flame burst out when more than ten artillery fires broke out, making the artillery position look dark and bright like a thin star in the night.
At this time, a few sleepy soldiers in the fourth town of Lintingkou suddenly heard something that seemed like whistling and thought it was hush, but the sound was so familiar that it seemed to be heard there.
However, the idea didn’t last long, and then a word came up in their minds to "shell!"
Return to absolute being, they quickly fell down and shouted at the same time!
But even if they don’t shout, the soldiers in the fourth town of Lintingkou already know what the shelling is. Because the first round of shells has landed, and the explosion sound is so loud, if you don’t know the shelling, you are either deaf or you have been killed!
Almost instantly, the soldiers in the fourth town got up from their sleep in a panic, and then they couldn’t even wear their clothes. They picked up their guns and ran to dig a defensive position yesterday when the officers shouted and scolded.
Although they don’t know what’s going on yet, it’s not hard to guess the truth. It’s always right that Zhao Dongyun or several of his Beiyang bosses’ troops called, no matter who called and picked up a gun to carry out a defensive war.
However, the sudden large-scale shelling still caused great confusion in a sign in this fourth town. Although the sight was not good, Chun Li could still see the enemy soldiers pouring out of the fire from the telescope and immediately said to Feng Delin around him, "Brother Ge Chen will see you when he gets here!"
Feng Delin, the three giant bandits in western Liaoning in the Russo-Japanese War, completely took refuge in Zhao Dong Yunda bandit. Now he is dressed as a middle-ranking officer and looks decent. I don’t know him. It seems that he would never have thought that this man was a bandit.
"The Ministry is in charge!" Feng Delin didn’t delay much. He went out soon and led his fifth bid to attack!
Two hundred and sixty ZhangLin pavilion mouth war (2)
"What’s the matter? Who the hell is calling? Is it Zhao Dongyun or Wang Yingkai or Wu Fengling? How many people are attacking? His mother you his mother is talking! " In a private house in Lintingkou, several officers from the fourth town were in the middle of an emergency meeting, and Zhang Dianru, who was led by the 16th National Standards Organization, was full of anger.
He also just got up and didn’t even get dressed. The officers also looked at me and I looked at you for a long time. After a good half-day, Liu Chaolu, the duct tape of the second battalion, said
"The direction of attack is from the east, and there are ten Zhao Dongyun troops. From the perspective of their shelling density, there is also a artillery battalion to support it. If there are fewer people, it is a cooperation!"
Although everyone is still at a loss, several of them are also veteran officers, and judging how many guns the enemy has by shelling density and then inferring how many to attack the enemy is also the foundation of an officer
"So we don’t know the association of Fengjun for the time being, but now they have shelled several rounds. It is estimated that it won’t be long before the infantry attacked the standard system. Do you think we are now?"
Zhang Dianru took a deep breath for a long time and then said, "Let’s see how many people are attacking first, and then immediately send someone to Baodi to report the situation of our department and ask for immediate reinforcements!"
As soon as it was bright at Lin Tingkou, Feng Delin was already directing his own department to launch the first charge!
In an offensive war, Feng Delin will naturally not fill in all his troops, but send two battalions, followed by a reserve. In addition to preventing accidents, the main purpose is to be ready to go into battle at any time to expand the results
Shi Jintong, who is at the forefront of the front line, is wearing a dark blue officer like his military officers, often wearing a white bar with a yellow background on his shoulders and a gold star association collar badge with a red background, which directly shows his identity as an infantry officer.
"Let the second team wait for a while, don’t rush to the fire and order the machine guns to give fire suppression to the second team!" Shi Jintong did not appear as excited or scared as his officers and soldiers at this time.
On the contrary, now he is very calm and plain, and his face can’t see the meaning. His mood fluctuates. See if he picks up a telescope to observe the front line, and then he reaches one battle order after another to the officers around him and his officers.
In contemporary war, if platoon and team-level officers need to fight bloody battles directly with the enemy, then at the level of standardization and coordination, most of them have already considered the layout of the whole front.
These two times, junior officers and senior officers battalion officers took this level of officers as a link between the past and the future. Moreover, this level of officers not only had to face the enemy’s firepower to personally direct the army’s war at the front line, but also had to have certain strategic capabilities to enable the troops to exert greater combat effectiveness to further cooperate with a larger-scale war.
In the contemporary officer class, the battalion officer belt is a watershed, and those team officers and platoon leaders are typical officers, while the important ranks have reached the rank of the participating class, so it can be regarded as a middle-level officer in an army and a core class in an army.
Every tactical decision made by Shi Jintong in the battle has a direct impact on the process and result of this offensive war!
"Make the battalion mortar team let them conduct three rapid-fire suppression shelling on the second team facing the enemy!" Not long after Shi Jintong said this, he ordered "let the third team fight to reinforce the second team!"
"Let the first team speed up the detour and arrive at the reservation line in fifteen minutes, and then let the fourth team finish their rest and prepare for the battle!"
After a series of serial orders, Shi Jintong watched that the front was still suppressed by two enemy heavy machine guns. The second team immediately said, "Send the latest artillery to the rear artillery team and request immediate artillery support!"
Shi Jintong is quite dissatisfied with the current progress. The two heavy machine guns opposite have been burning for a long time, and the enemy on the other side only arrived at the Lintingkou yesterday. It is impossible to build a strong heavy machine gun fortress, but why did our mortars still fail to destroy them?
Although Shi Jintong participated in the battle for the first time, a series of wars in Tongzhou, the former third town, had already passed through the army, and almost all officers had studied various examples of Tongzhou during this period. Some senior officers were generally very interested in Gu Lanyu’s quick detour tactics and the General Staff Center exhibited a lot of theoretical research, but junior officers paid more attention to the tactics of mortar conquering heavy machine guns!
In the Fengtian armament school, the tactics of attacking machine gun positions with Ruli mortars are included in the priority teaching assessment.
Even though he didn’t hit heavy machine guns, Shi Jintong also knew that in the first place, all teams had to get rid of the enemy’s heavy machine guns with 60 mm mortars in their hands. But now it’s not normal to watch the enemy’s heavy machine guns continue to fire after more than ten minutes.
And he didn’t know that it was the second front-line team officer Yu Zhuang who looked at his hand. This mortar platoon was also worried!
"Damn it!" His mortar platoon was just about to launch shelling on the enemy’s heavy machine gun position, but because the terrain investigation was not detailed enough before the attack and it was late, he was not familiar with the local terrain. The mortar group was just put in and assembled, and a series of enemy machine guns strafed over. Only then did he find that his mortar position was just in the enemy’s heavy machine gun shooting window!
At that time, two mortar group commanders and more than a dozen soldiers were killed and injured on the spot. The most important thing is that two mortar group commanders actually died and one was seriously injured, and neither of the two main gunners survived.
Although this mortar is simple and convenient compared with a barrel gun, it’s also a kind of gun. It’s easy to fire it, but it’s not easy if you aim accurately. You have to know how to shoot the elements without a sight. You have to know how to calculate these!
In Fengjun, these things are usually the chief gunner of the mortar group commander, while ordinary ammunition gunners and blessing gunners are not in ordinary infantry, let alone understand these things.
How can I put it? No matter how hard it is to train technical arms, it is still relatively difficult and limited by the fact that the cultural quality of Chinese soldiers is as close as possible. Even Zhao Dongyun, who attaches great importance to technical arms, can choose some soldiers with a little culture or cleverness to train them so that ordinary soldiers can understand the command password.
Yu Jun was born in the formal class of Mandarin, but he knows a little about everything except basic tactical skills. Because mortars are assigned to infantry, most officers born in the formal class can also play with them, but they go to the third town camp school. Now, officers born in the crash course in Fengtian Military Equipment School, except for the crash course artillery officers, most of them can’t learn this thing. In just three months, they have to spend a lot of time to enrich their cultural foundation and improve their infantry tactical literacy.
According to the truth, a team can play two mortars, and there are also four people who can play these two mortars. If it is counted as a formal class, it will be five. This is enough, but no one thought that the enemy fired a heavy machine gun and killed both commanders and two main gunners of the mortar team. Yu Zhuang is an officer with a crash course. You let him play mortar tactics, but if you let him shoot himself, the accuracy will be uncertain.
When Yu Zhuang’s remaining gunners and ammunition men pulled up the mortar group again, they found that no one would aim at the target and adjust the elements. He also crustily commanded two rounds, but it was ok for him to command mortars to suppress infantry charges with this half-suspended water, but it was too difficult for him to reduce the hit accuracy to several meters before taking off the enemy’s heavy machine gun positions.
After secretly shouting and cursing, Yu Zhuang pulled over the soldiers. "You go to the third team in the back and ask them to support a mortar commander to come to our department!"
There are mortars here, and it’s not enough. I can’t stand it!
Not long after, a sergeant came to Yu Zhuang’s front. This man’s rank was the rank of noncommissioned officer in the ranks of soldiers in the late Qing Dynasty. In addition to the rank of third-class and ninth-class officers, there were additional officers in the ranks of the late Qing Dynasty, which was equivalent to the warrant officer of foreign troops. At the same time, there were also three ranks of noncommissioned officers, sergeants and soldiers, and a rank system of sixth-class and sixteenth-class soldiers was formed
Zhao Dongyun’s military establishment is slightly different from that of other troops in Beiyang. This mortar unit belongs to a newly-established’ mortar platoon’ under the team’s jurisdiction. The platoon leader is also the commander of one mortar group, which is the lowest-ranking officer in the military academy, while the commander of the other mortar group is a senior mortar hand.
Add two sergeant or sergeant rank main gunner to form a mortar platoon with two 60mm mortars, and the core is composed of others, such as assistant gunner and ammunition gunner. Just call a few people to come and raise money.
It is worth saying that the names of Li Shi, sergeant and sergeant in the new army in the late Qing Dynasty are nothing but official titles of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
However, contemporary people still call military ranks less verbally. Generally, they are titles. For example, when Zhao Dongyun was in control of the third town, few people called him Zhao Dutong, but they usually called him Zhao Tongzhi.
With this secondment from the third team, the mortar commander Yu Zhuang has two 60mm mortars at his hand, which is the real power!
After a series of rapid-fire shelling, the heavy machine guns in the fourth town across the street stopped ringing soon, and at this time, the flank came with dense guns. Yu Zhuang knew that the first team had successfully detoured from the left wing and launched an attack on the enemy from the flank
Sure enough, as he expected, he soon met the soldiers who brought the tape with them. The latest order asked the second and third teams to attack from the front and break through the enemy front in one fell swoop.
This one is doomed to be unstable!
Zhang Dianru’s hand troops faced a fierce attack from the entire Xiejia artillery battalion in Li Chunyi, and they couldn’t stop it. After two hours, Zhang Dianru led the troops to retreat from Lintingkou and fled to Baodi County.
In this battle, more than 50 people were killed or injured in Chun Li. At the cost, Zhang Dianru was ambushed, killing more than 200 enemy people with a target, and then he successfully defeated Zhang Dianru and his men, forcing him to lead the remnants to Baodi.
It didn’t take long for the news to reach the desk of Jingshi Duan Qirui!
Duan Qirui immediately found Wang Yingjie with a black face and a Baodi newspaper!
"He Zhao Dongyun was cruel enough to sneak up on me in the early hours of this morning. Are there any of us in his eyes? He is going to rebel!" Duan Qirui angrily threw the battle report and looked at Wang Yingjie, who was also a black face. "Shao Chen, now it’s not that we want to fight, it’s that Zhao Dongyun wants to fight horizontally and vertically, and he is determined to enter the capital!"
Although Wang Yingkai had expected to fight Zhao Dongyun, he didn’t expect Zhao Dongyun to react so quickly. His second town in Fengtian and the first association just arrived in Tangshan, so he couldn’t wait to fight!
"It’s not impossible to fight, but it’s not too early for a day or two. You should shrink back from the fourth town and wait for the first town and the fifth town to go north before you remit the sixth town and the seventh town to the north. I’d like to see if Zhao Dongyun is really so capable of fighting!"
See the Wang Yingjie determined Duan Qirui anger is slightly subsided!
"Since I’m here, I’ll have lunch before I leave!" Wang Yingkai said so Duan Qirui also don’t delay immediately.
"Then I’ll nag you!"
