Chapter 1479 The hard battle has just begun (5)

To put it bluntly, the Black Hawk Army regarded the 48th Regiment, which was extremely anxious to fight with it, as the elite of the Kingdom Army, but in fact, they were just a group of second-tier rookies who survived with the blood and courage of Qiu Tongren.

The Black Hawk Army, which made a mistake in judgment, could only pay the price again and lost three infantry squads in vain.

Although it was the last time, it was still not a big problem to deal with three infantry battalions and an Imperial Army infantry company that had participated in the four bloody battles.

Especially Chen Sheng, after nearly three months of bloody battles, those who survived to this day are all veterans and elite soldiers. Not to mention the Black Hawk Army of the Sixth Division, which fought several small battles on the northern battlefield and did not get the actual test, is not in vain, even compared with the soldiers of the most elite bayonet battalion of the Independent Regiment.

Although the position was covered by the gradually dissipated smoke and faint nightlight, there was no heavy firepower. Dozens of "double spear soldiers" armed with rifles and submachine guns on their backs were constantly wandering on the 300-meter-long position battlefield. With the help of the fire from the shells and the light of the occasional flares, they fired the remaining Black Hawk Army behind who consciously completed the task and began to retreat.

Because he could not go to the front of the position to count the results of the battle, Chen Sheng did not report to Xie Yunsheng the results of his infantry company in this round of offensive and defensive battle, but the Black Hawk Empire has statistics. Before the Black Hawk Army officially landed on Jiafujiang, the battle report handed over to Ding Beiwei clearly stated: In the first round of attacks on the right wing position of the Kingdom side, the 2nd and 6th Infantry Squadron, including 243 imperial officers and soldiers who died and were injured and disappeared, were killed and lost. The 8th Infantry Squadron behind the palace, only 6 survived.

Ding Beiwei, who saw this battle report, almost bit off his back teeth. Missing on the battlefield almost means death, and being injured is even worse. Not only can we not fight, but also waste the imperial medical resources for treatment. The two squadrons lost 183 people in combat, which means that the two infantry squadrons with a total strength of only 400 people lost half of their combat power. The infantry squadrons in charge of the rear of the hall were even worse. Only 6 people lived in the 40 people, which was 40% higher than the other two directions.

Of course, as the commander of the division, Ding Beiwei will not pay attention to small-scale battles such as crossing the river landing operations during the rest of the time, and basically they will leave the corps-level commanders to make their own decisions. What he has to consider is how to capture Huangsu City in the shortest time, and then the main force leaves Huangsu City as soon as possible and moves towards Pingshan Prefecture.

The Black Hawk Empire Army Lieutenant General was very heart-warming, and his eyes didn't even stop at Huangsu City, and he was staring at the hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops located in the west of Haicheng that were trying hard to retreat but could not retreat with all his might.

This is what is called different status, different standing heights, and different visions. However, this person may not have expected that the mountains of the Kingdom are much higher than those of the Black Hawk Empire. If you stand too high here, you will fall miserably if you fall. If you stand high and look far, you must first ensure that your feet are standing firm enough.

The failure to issue an order from the top of the peak does not mean that Yin Xia is qualified to retreat once or once. The imperial officers and soldiers are not good at night fighting, but the division commander decisively ordered a night battle with the kingdoms to fight almost as soon as possible. Lieutenant General of the Black Hawk Empire Army is determined to conquer Huangsu City as soon as possible. He cannot let the Lieutenant General drink the northwest wind by the river this night.

Ding Beiwei's northwest wind may just be a little bloated when he drinks too much, but he may not be qualified to drink it in the future.

Therefore, even though the gunfire of both sides stopped, all the soldiers retracted back to the river beach position for counting and found that in this round of attack, the five infantry squadrons under his command and a heavy machine gun squadron suffered more than 400 people. He did not hesitate to prepare to organize the second round of attack, and the support of the new five infantry squadrons was about to arrive on the river bank.

This time, he was more determined and prepared to divide the No. 1600 infantry into two waves in one go and all into the attack. The attacking infantry alone exceeded the entire infantry of the 48th Regiment, not to mention the added 30 grenade launchers teams. In addition to the 24 grenade launchers that had previously survived, it was equivalent to 54 small-caliber mortars at a distance of 250 meters.

The Black Hawk Empire Army Colonel believed that under such firepower suppression, all the heavy firepower points that the kingdom people had previously exposed could be bombed into the sky.

The Black Hawk Army on the river bank was waiting for reinforcements to arrive to launch the next more fierce attack. The 48th Regiment's position has also returned to calm, and the mountain cannons and mortars have long stopped shelling. They must use few shells at the most critical moment, rather than blindly blew up on the vast river beach. If it were replaced by Zhao Ergou's artillery battalion, which had enough shells to store enough shells, would have roared here and turned the beach into a sea of ​​fire. Then Yin Xia would have done something to do if the Black Hawk Colonel had the courage to stay on the beach. If he didn't beat him up and hid in the cold river water, he probably wouldn't even be prepared to leave Zhao.

Unfortunately, the 48th Regiment had no rich commander, so he could only save on artillery fire. Even if he knew that the Black Hawk Army would gather on the beach, he could only watch it with a long eye. The darkness made the Black Hawk Army look like he was blind, and it was the same for the artillery observers of the kingdom. Everyone was groping in the darkness to live a life.

Perhaps because there were still many Black Hawk soldiers attacking the area where the Black Hawk Army was not pulled back. This time, the Black Hawk Army did not cover the shelling in the gaps between battles, but sent a large number of search teams to crawl to search for the wounded soldiers with the help of the night cover and drag them back. According to the grassroots officers on the front line, they should have fired a few flares from time to time to bring these Black Hawk Empires who wanted to save their wounded soldiers. How many more can they kill the turtle sons?

But soon, the regiment headquarters issued an order: During the battle, the platoons of each company and platoon quickly repaired and sent the injured who could still be rescued to the rear. No few flares were allowed to be wasted, as long as the Black Hawk Empire was not close to the 80-meter area, they didn't have to worry about them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although I don’t understand the military orders of the regiment headquarters, the military orders are as high as a mountain, and the officers from various grassroots companies faithfully implemented the orders of the regiment headquarters.

The Black Hawk Army, who was secretly searching for its own wounded soldiers, seemed to know the bottom line of the kingdom people. Very few people climbed to seventy or eighty meters, and basically moved 100 meters away. Whether it was a dead body or a wounded soldier who held his breath and did not dare to make a scream, they all held their legs with a rope, hung it on their waists and dragged it back desperately.

Both sides of the war were in a rare peace, although everyone knew that that peace was only temporary, and the next round of war would only be more cruel.

In fact, Xie Yunsheng wanted to knock on the Black Hawk Army's slap. He took advantage of the Black Hawk Army's opportunity to find the wounded on the position to attack their ambush. Even if it attracted the artillery fire of the Black Hawk Army, it would be spared. This would only cause the Black Hawk Army's wounded soldiers to lose their last chance of survival.

Unfortunately, strength is not allowed! Not to mention that the flares in stock are just a little, they cannot be used in this irrelevant place. Even the casualties of the 48th Regiment are not light. If necessary repairs are not carried out, the newly recruited recruits who have just started the battlefield may be mentally broken.

Just now, the artillery fire coverage and attack of the Black Hawk Army, the 48th Regiment suffered more than 300 casualties, a total of one-fifth of its troops were reduced, and most of the casualties were generated at the beginning of the battle.

Many new recruits were actually not killed by shells, but were killed by death. If the terrifying 105 howitzer did not hit the trench head-on, they would not be able to use shrapnel and air waves to kill soldiers hiding in the anti-aircraft holes and deep trenches, but the violent vibrations produced could be achieved. Many new recruits were so scared that they forgot the veteran's instructions that they should not put their bodies close to the ground. They only knew to hold their heads tightly with their hands and curl up in the anti-aircraft holes.

So, when the Black Hawks' artillery fire stopped, many of them did not have the strength to get out of the anti-aircraft hole. Many of them, even if they could persist until the end of the battle, were sent to the stretcher team that was hiding in the retreating trenches, were still vomiting blood, and soon the people were out of reach.

The number of new recruits who died in this way even exceeded the number of soldiers who hit the shells directly and were suffocated to death in the anti-aircraft holes by the shells.

There are also some new recruits who died in the early stages of the battle with the Black Hawk infantry. They either raised their heads too high or exposed too many trenches in their bodies. The Black Hawk Army's gun technique is terrible. At a distance of more than 100 meters, they almost either hit the head or the chest. Qiu Tongjun has a steel helmet, but they are not as wealthy as everyone has a steel helmet. Even if they wear a steel helmet, they will not have a high chance of survival. Strong kinetic energy will make people's neck suddenly fall back, and a fragile neck fracture will also cause death. New recruits often tie the belt of the helmet firmly to their necks.

In short, in the real battle, the recruits made countless mistakes, but these mistakes gave them no chance to do it again.

Make mistakes on the battlefield and die.

It is natural for soldiers who can survive this battle to learn how to save themselves in the next battle.

Now, the most important thing is to let these surviving new recruits recover the psychological barrier of large-scale casualties of comrades. Only by regaining the fear of death, rather than relying solely on the courage to fight hard on the battlefield, can these new recruits be qualified to become elite soldiers.

And the Black Hawk Army obviously won't leave too much time for the kingdom soldiers to repair.
