Chapter 4588 Fierce fighting in the town

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the forward troops suffered heavy losses in the attack, the remaining Orumi federal troops remained stubborn. Although they were constantly being fired upon by rebel machine guns after losing the cover of their infantry fighting vehicles, they continued to regroup and continued to attack regardless of casualties.  The rebel army attempted to break into the town, and later even light machine gunners with machine guns participated in the charge.

    The uninterrupted fighting lasted for about two and a half hours. Every attack by the Orumi federal troops was defeated before the position was reached, resulting in heavy casualties.  After five consecutive charges, their leading troops had suffered more than a hundred casualties.

    If reinforcements from the Orumi Federal Army had not arrived at this time, these infantrymen would have been completely wiped out.  However, the repeated charges of these leading troops were not without any results. The rebel army's multiple firepower points in the forward positions have been exposed.  The Orumi federal forces that followed up unceremoniously used BMP-1 tanks as the main force to advance forward.

    The 73mm 2a28 low-pressure smoothbore gun and the 7.62mm Kalashnikov tank twin machine gun equipped on the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle began to show off frequently.  The rebels' simple bunkers were unable to withstand such firepower, and they were forced to retreat from the communication trenches.

    "Boss, they have broken through the outer positions." He rushed back to report.

    "That's the plan, let them in first and then fight. The entrance to the town is narrow. After they have many infantry fighting vehicles coming in, it will not be so easy to get out." Lin Rui smiled slightly.

    Another reason why he put these infantry fighting vehicles in was because they had very few anti-tank rocket launchers left.  The only anti-tank weapon available now is grenades.  He has ordered a batch of rkg-3 anti-tank grenades to be sent to various troops.

    This anti-tank grenade was produced by the former Soviet Union.  The projectile is made of thin iron sheet stamping. The head of the projectile is a cylindrical hood. The slender projectile can not only reduce the air resistance when throwing, but also ensure the explosion height.  The hood and the projectile body are stamped and riveted together, and the lower part of the projectile body is made of hollow charge.

    Above the charge is a cone-shaped charge cover stamped from a thin steel plate.  The hollow metal handle at the bottom is the most complex part of the entire grenade. It contains the parts of the impact fuse, safety mechanism and stabilizing umbrella, and is firmly connected through a threaded sleeve under the missile body.  There is a metal safety piece on the outside of the handle, which is fixed on a lug of the handle through an external safety pin.

    The explosion produces a high-speed metal jet with a penetration depth of up to 170 mm and can penetrate concrete fortifications with a thickness of 500 mm.  Although this kind of anti-tank grenade is seriously outdated and cannot defeat the current main battle tanks, it is still easy to deal with small fragile vehicles like the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle.

    After all, although the BMP-1 tank has good firepower, its armor thickness is only a pitiful 6 to 26 mm. It can barely defend against a rifle, and even has trouble defending against large-caliber machine guns.

    As the fighting in Sagunwe town raged, the Orumi federal forces successively sent powerful reinforcements.  Because they judged from the situation of the battle, they believed that the rebel army that dared to set up an ambush under the eyes of their main force would never be a small blocking force.  This shows that the main force of the rebel army was not in a hurry to enter the city but lay in ambush on the outskirts of the city to conduct an ambush.

    Therefore, reinforcements from other Orumi federal troops came quickly. By about 1 p.m., in addition to the Orumi federal troops who were still attacking, a large number of Orumi troops appeared in the northeast, southwest, and east of Sagunwe.  The Federal Army immediately launched an attack.

    As a result, the situation of the rebels in Sagunwe Town has become very dangerous, and there is a possibility of being eaten by the Orumi federal army.

    Lin Rui and others originally planned to break away from contact with the enemy after severely damaging the enemy's advance troops. They did not expect that reinforcements from the Orumi Federal Army would arrive so quickly, and they had to adjust their deployment immediately.  It was decided that no matter how strong the enemy's troops were, they would have to deal with the enemy for eight hours in the first and second lines of fortifications.  The third line of fortifications must hold on until dark, and then stand by to break out.

    Due to the large number of attacking Orumi federal troops and their strong combat effectiveness, Lin Rui asked his subordinate companies to make full use of the various fortifications in Sagunwe Town to conduct active and flexible battles.  No matter how accurate the bullet is, use the effectiveness of every bullet.  To put it bluntly, we should try our best to hold off the enemy.

    After three o'clock in the afternoon, the Orumi federal army had successively gathered nearly 1,800 troops. After nearly an hour of fierce bombardment by mortars and vehicle-mounted smoothbore guns, they launched attacks from the east, west, and south of Sagunwe simultaneously.  .

    The first fortification that the rebels relied on, a short earthen wall, had been flattened by enemy artillery fire in many places.  Relying on superior firepower and numerical superiority, the Oulu federal army approached the rebel position regardless of casualties.

    Responsible for protecting the De Anmore prisoner of war troops, once again demonstrated their desperate spirit.  Many people simply jumped out of their houses and fortifications and threw dense grenades at the enemy.The enemy launched a fierce exchange of fire at close range.  The Orumi federal army's fire cover was greatly compromised by repeated close combat between the two sides.

    The newly issued anti-tank grenades proved extremely powerful in the melee.  Several BMP-1 tanks were blown up or broke down in succession.  From 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they repelled three more enemy charges.

    After repeated setbacks in their all-out offensive, the Orumi federal forces changed their strategy. In addition to maintaining comprehensive pressure on the positions around Songzhuang, they concentrated their superior forces to storm the southern suburbs with smaller positions.  The Anmore prisoner-of-war troops stationed here were also stationed here. After the hard battle in the morning, their ammunition was consumed a lot, and most of the bunkers in the position were destroyed. These Anmore prisoner-of-war troops had to move to courtyards and rooftops to continue fighting.  .

    After the offensive of the Orumi Federal Army began, one unit climbed over the ruins of the wall from the west, and then started a close-range gun battle with the Anmol prisoner-of-war troops who came to intercept. At the same time, its main force quickly launched a charge from the front, and finally poured in.  The first line of defense.

    In the fierce close combat firefight, most of the Anmor soldiers responsible for guarding this position were killed. A few of them, under the cover of other troops, used grenades to open a bloody path and broke back to the northern position.

    After the southern part of the suburbs was lost, the rebel army's northern position became even more isolated. The first and second fortifications were basically destroyed, and a lot of ammunition was consumed. However, reinforcements from the local army outside the town were still coming.  At this time, the actuary who was responsible for commanding the battle, Shokishi, and several other commanders discussed the severe situation and told all the soldiers about the severe situation.

    They asked everyone to make the necessary mental preparations, and at the same time required everyone to hold their positions under any circumstances until dark to break out.  At the same time, Lin Rui had personally led the elite mercenaries to deceive the enemy and attack the enemy's headquarters. This was their main purpose and the real winner.
