Chapter 459 The war begins

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Rui knew that Lieutenant Colonel Woods had an artillery company with a total of seven 152-caliber cannons.  Although the number is too small, if used properly, as long as this company of artillery shells is used to its maximum effect, it can at least cause considerable casualties to those members of the secret society.

    But Lin Rui still didn't dare to be too optimistic, because since the people from the secret society have joined forces with Delia's armed personnel, this must be a place of brutal competition. How many enemy troops will there be in the future?  He didn't dare to imagine, and since the cannonballs were missing, he didn't dare to hope that he could conjure some cannonballs from somewhere.

    Since a lot of ammunition had been consumed in the first defense zone position before, except for some excess ammunition in the temporary warehouse of the Mawo Army, they did not receive any supplies.  Now they are a lone army. Although other ammunition is still sufficient, the artillery shells are already limited.  So even though Lin Rui knew that these cannons were their last hope, it didn't mean that he really had much hope.

    Lieutenant Colonel Woods still had doubts about the adequacy of Lin Rui's plan to hold on to the city, but as an officer with little actual combat experience, he chose to remain silent.  He knew that without Lin Rui and others, they would have been completely defeated.

    Nalan'er is located on a high ground by the Red Water River, surrounded by simple temporary fortifications. Such a small place has withstood the secret society's offensive for several days.  All the soldiers were extremely tired. They didn't have much time to rest. They had to build trenches and dig bunkers. The best firepower positions had been moved back for a time.  There are also several heavy machine guns set up behind the remaining walls or on the roofs of houses that have not collapsed.

    From a distance, these Mawo soldiers can also see that the number of troops in the secret society in the distance greatly exceeds theirs, but they still hold on, which is an almost desperate hold.

    Between the two sides of the confrontation, there is a road about 5 meters wide in the middle. Beyond the road are scattered shrubs and wilderness. It is not easy to rush through.  The gunfire roared again, completely tearing apart this peaceful wilderness.  For soldiers, this is the cruelest order.  No one is a born warrior, and no one can overcome the fear of death, but this is a battlefield, and retreating because of timidity may not necessarily lead to a longer life.  If anyone dares to desert, the commander's pistol will blast a bloody hole in his head without hesitation.  Numb obedience is the deep imprint left by the iron discipline of the military.

    After several fierce battles in the past, the secret society has gradually understood the fighting methods of the Mawo Army, and knows that intensive attacks will only cause heavy losses to the charging troops.  The dense formation will also make the brothers at the back unable to shoot continuously, suppressing the enemy's firepower, and the shooting hit rate of the opposing defenders will be doubled.

    In addition to putting some psychological pressure on the defenders, such an offensive method will only increase casualties.

    So this time, their assault units moved forward quickly in a loose formation, with vehicle-mounted machine gun fire and continuous squad mortars, while conducting continuous fire suppression on several defense points.  While the pressure on the front line of the Mawo Army increased greatly, Lin Rui also felt that it was difficult to take care of the head and tail, and he was very uncomfortable in command.

    The Mawo Army resisted desperately under the fierce bombardment of the secret society. Although the minefields had been rearranged before the war and heavy machine gun points were scattered, the secret society focused on attacking in two directions, making these  Heavy firepower is still relatively weak.  Fortunately, there were a few cannons to cheer up. Although sporadic, the rumbling sound of the cannons was still enough to deter them.

    Although the people of the secret society are equipped with mortars as supporting firepower, and a large number of RPG rocket launchers.  But last time, after the intensive bombardment of seven powerful 152-caliber artillery pieces, more than half of these heavy firepower was lost.

    Comparing the two, the members of the secret society do not have much advantage.  But this time they were outnumbered and attacking simultaneously from several different locations.  The defense line of the Mawo military was shaken for a time.

    As Mawo's troops retreated, the charging secret society warriors were greatly inspired, and they all rushed forward howling like crazy.  As long as there is no intensive charge, faced with the fire from several machine guns, the veterans of the secret society will not take it seriously at all, and easily dodge left and right to avoid it. However, those rifle bursts with extremely accurate marksmanship are what they are most taboo about.  .  In fact, far more people are killed by rifles on modern battlefields than by machine guns.

    Lin Rui, who had been closely observing the changes on the battlefield from the beginning, saw that the enemy's offensive had completely suppressed his own side. He said to Lieutenant Colonel Woods in a deep voice: "The defensive pressure is too great. If we persist like this, our casualties will further increase."  . Pass the order and shrink the defense line."

    Looking at the attacking troops falling continuously on the position, Lieutenant Colonel Woods frowned and said: "Every moment now, we have people falling, and the casualties are indeed heavy! But they also have?The casualties are not small. Isn't it a bit too early for us to shrink the defense line now?  "

    "How can there be no casualties on the battlefield? We are pretty good now. The brothers of the artillery company should be credited with first-class merit this time. Without their artillery bombardment, these people in the secret society would not have been suppressed so easily.  live."

    A second lieutenant in charge of commanding the defenders on the position reported via wireless that they were in a hard fight and requested reinforcements.

    Lin Rui quickly looked at the map, frowned and replied, "Our defenders on the east side have suffered greater casualties. I will ask the reserve team to enter from your west side and try to block the opening of Defense Zone 1 on the east side first."  After saying that, he straightened his military uniform and took big steps.

    When Lieutenant Colonel Woods saw his appearance, he quickly stopped him and frowned: "What are you doing!"

    "Lead the reserve team and put out the fire. Lieutenant Colonel Woods, the reserve team are the brothers I brought from Black Island. Although they only received very basic training, since they have become my subordinates, they are our brothers. Comrades  Yu Xue, since we are brothers, of course we have to go to the battlefield together. I wonder if you still have questions when I say this?" Lin Rui said calmly.

    Lieutenant Colonel Woods said anxiously: "How can you go into battle in person? If you have any problems, who will be in command here? Why do you think I should stay behind the battle formation and watch my own brothers and sisters fighting in front from a distance? Then  It¡¯s not because I am the supreme commander and I have to make many important decisions, so you are not allowed to come either!¡±

    "After I die, all command rights will be returned to you. You are the highest-ranking person in this team, the de facto highest commander." Lin Rui smiled calmly, pushed aside Lieutenant Colonel Woods' blocking arm, and strode towards the  Go to the eastern position.
