Chapter 1442 Danger

In terms of firepower alone, the Marines with twelve artillery pieces and hundreds of rifles certainly have an overwhelming advantage, but this new army also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, lack of combat experience. Before that,

The only battle the Marine Corps has participated in as the main force was the feint attack in Dalian Bay before winter last year. In that battle, the Marine Corps had an abandoned fishing village as a base to build a position. However, this time they could only land on an empty beach behind enemy lines.

A beachhead was constructed, and the difficulty of defense far exceeded the previous battlefield situation.

Compared with the special operations battalion with rich combat experience, Wang Tom's Marine Corps is indeed slightly less able to control the rhythm of combat. And Wang Tom has rarely commanded land battles in recent years. He believes that after the situation is advantageous,

, he put down his commanding responsibilities and personally took up arms to participate in the battle. When he realized that the rhythm of the battle was a bit out of control, the Houjin army had already stepped on the corpses of their companions to attack only a few meters away from the defense line.

The Hou Jin Army was able to quickly shorten the combat distance. In addition to their fearless charge, another characteristic was their extremely strong adaptability to combat. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weapon performance, their combat experience was really insufficient.

Unfortunately, while the cavalry rushed forward to act as human shields, the infantry quickly followed up, taking the location of the artillery as the main attack direction, and quickly shortened the fighting distance between artillery firings.

Although the Haihan artillery is powerful, it is more troublesome to load ammunition and the firing speed is far slower than that of a rifle. Especially in close combat, the deterrent effect is actually greater than the lethality. After the Jin army mastered this rule, they quickly

It is applied to the current battlefield. After approaching the beachhead, bows and arrows are used to fire at the gun positions. This seemingly primitive attack method also causes casualties to the artillery that lacks effective protection. The speed of artillery firing is further reduced.

After slowing down, the Hou Jin Army was given more opportunities to attack, so some of the Baya La soldiers who were very lucky finally crawled all the way to the beachhead among the piles of corpses, and then took advantage of the interval of artillery firing to attack from one of the places.

He jumped into the position through the gap in the gun emplacement.

The Haihan Army's close-quarters fighting ability is actually not bad, but that is only when bayonets are prepared, and the artillery obviously cannot have such self-defense means. Therefore, the artillerymen who were caught off guard were killed and injured in a face-to-face encounter.

Several people. As soon as the cannon misfired, other Houjin soldiers who noticed the fighter plane immediately swarmed in from behind, immediately putting this place into a crisis of imminent collapse.

Although Wang Tom was eager to kill, he quickly noticed the situation here after being reminded by his adjutant. However, after all, he was a senior general who had seen big scenes. Seeing that the situation was tense, he did not panic and threw away his rifle.

He gave it to his entourage, and then ordered: "Bring me my equipment! The guard platoon assembles!"

In recent years, Wang Tom has rarely personally participated in battles, and the weapons he carries with him are basically new products produced by Haihan Ordnance Industry. However, the personal weapons and equipment he brought when he traveled through time have not been left in the Sanya warehouse.

Most of the equipment has been following him around the world. There is even a private weapons depot on the flagship "Majesty" commanded by him to store his equipment. This time the operation was carried out behind enemy lines, in order to prevent

Just in case, Wang Tom also picked a few handy weapons for the guards to take ashore. Unexpectedly, they would actually come in handy.

The guard immediately brought Wang Tom's special equipment box, and the first piece of equipment he picked up was not an automatic rifle, but a tactical vest. After putting it on, he immediately picked up a helmet and put it on. At this time, Hou Jin shot out

The arrows were flying everywhere, so Wang Tom naturally had to protect his own safety first.

Wang Tom had practiced wearing equipment like this more than once with his guards, so at this time everyone was busy helping him fix the tactical vest, and then stuffed the rifle and pistol magazines into the vest.

In addition, someone specially tied a pistol holster around his thigh and waist. This kind of close combat weapon is naturally indispensable. After putting it on, someone handed him a small box, and Wang Tom took a few coins from it.

An M26A1 grenade was carefully hung on the tactical vest, and finally the guard took his own HK416 automatic rifle.

If he had to put on and organize these equipment by himself, it would take at least several minutes. Fortunately, he is well-trained at ordinary times. A group of guards surrounded him and organized it in a few seconds. The guard platoon directly commanded by Wang Tom was also in the process during this period.

The assembly was quickly completed, and the small team immediately rushed towards the artillery position that had been broken through by the Jin Army.

With a distance of nearly thirty meters, Wang Tom first threw two grenades over. The position of the grenades he threw was also very particular. He threw them just outside the gap, where the Jin army was pouring into the Haihan position. In this way.

When the grenade explodes, it is less likely to hurt its own people in the position. However, the Jin Army obviously did not regard these two iron bombs as a serious threat, and the people who were hit by them did not care at all whether they were injured or not.

,

Two grenades exploded in the crowd one after another, and the Houjin Army who was blown to the ground did not understand what happened. Wang Tom took advantage of the opportunity when the Houjin Army's attack was out of control and immediately led a platoon of guards to confront them.

The Hou Jin soldiers who had entered the position were cleared. The guard platoon was also equipped with seven-shot rifles, and the firepower was naturally strong. A burst of gunfire knocked down a dozen Hou Jin soldiers who had entered the position.

The Hou Jin army who tried to pour in from the gap was blocked by the automatic rifle in Wang Tom's hand. At a distance of about twenty meters, ordinary armor could not stop the 5.56mm bullets of the automatic rifle.

In the middle of the torso, basically one bullet can make a person incapacitated quickly. Wang Tom can quickly clear the gap with one shot. As long as someone comes out, he will definitely be shot.

Naturally, the Hou Jin Army quickly discovered that the strong defense from the Haihan position prevented them from passing through the gap, so the soldiers who had arrived at the gap subconsciously climbed up to the top of the bunker and tried to jump directly over the bunker.

But as soon as they appeared at a high place without shelter, they immediately became living targets. The volleys from inside the position turned the first few people who climbed up the bunker into a hornet's nest and fell down, shocking the Houjin Army outside the position.

Endless.

Under Wang Tom's quick handling, the danger was finally suppressed for the time being. However, he also knew that many Houjin troops had already broken through the fire blockade outside the beachhead position. For this reason, he could only try to get close as soon as possible.

The enemy troops were eliminated. Naturally, he did not dare to jump out from the gap in the gun emplacement, so he could only lead the guard platoon out from the seaside side of the beachhead, and then use the advantage of firepower to clear out the Houjin soldiers who had attacked outside the fortifications.

Of course, this kind of action carries considerable risks. Without the cover of the fortification bunker, the arrows flying in the air may injure him at any time. Apart from the helmet and tactical vest on his body, he only has the guards desperately holding him up to cover him.

There were several shields on his head and sides. Of course, to ensure nothing went wrong, there were even two human shields in front of him, leaving only a gap for the barrel of the automatic rifle to extend and aim.

The members of this guard platoon are all soldiers selected and trained by Wang Tom himself. There is no doubt about their loyalty and bravery. Every soldier is willing to pay the price with his life for Wang Tom's safety. It is precisely because of these people.

With the desperate cover, Wang Tom personally cleared the perimeter of the position and the process could proceed more smoothly.

For Wang Tom, who had not experienced such a tense scene on the battlefield for a long time, the current battlefield environment was indeed exciting enough. He originally thought that Hou Jin would not be able to break through the beachhead's defense line, but the reality ironically made this

The situation happened right under his nose. This process was so fast that even the gunboats parked on the beach had not had time to open fire to provide cover for the beachhead. It was not until Wang Tom led his troops to clear the enemy troops outside the position that the gunboats on the beach finally

Fire artillery to attack the Hou Jin army in the distance who are still rushing towards the beachhead.

Wang Tom used two magazines to roughly clear out the jumping enemy troops outside the beachhead position. The gunboats and the continuous firing of the artillery on the position isolated all the subsequent offensives of the Jin army, finally calming down the storm.

Come down.

Wang Tom, who returned to the position, did not dare to take off his equipment immediately. He just handed the cleaned rifle to his guard and asked him to follow him. If he had not dealt with it decisively before, perhaps the beachhead position would have been reached by this time.

It was completely defeated by the Haihan Army and was now involved in a brutal close-quarters fight. Then the Jin Army had a clear advantage in terms of strength. If they were brought into a combat environment that the opponent was good at, even the Marines were all Haihan soldiers.

Even the elites in the army may not be able to outlast the opponent's overwhelming numbers.

It won't be a big problem for Tom Wang to escape by then. He just needs to fight his way back to the ship with the guard platoon. However, the Marines under his command will definitely suffer heavy losses in the close combat. While Tom Wang was thankful, he was also reflecting on it.

My previous mistakes in the command process. If I could control the battle rhythm better, the opponent might not have a chance to invade the beachhead.

The other party was very helpless. Seeing that his army had broken through the outer defense of the position, Yang Guli thought that something big could be accomplished today. However, he did not expect that the other party would be in chaos, and the counterattack came very sharply, and they attacked.

After that, no one from the Jin army escaped. On the contrary, even the troops on the periphery of the position were cleared away. At this time, Haihan had additional fire support from sea warships, and the number of artillery was doubled. Faced with such

With the firepower output, Yangu Li was not confident in replicating the previous offensive again.

"Retract the troops!" Yang Guli knew that there was nothing he could do. Sending troops to continue to fight hard at the beachhead would only increase casualties, so he could only order the troops to withdraw. At this time, he gave up the attack and continued to surround and monitor the position from a distance, trying to win the battle.

Stopping the missing cavalry team outside is the most likely way to save the situation.

Therefore, after the Hou Jin Army suffered more than 500 casualties, they still failed to conquer this position and could only return to a place one mile away to isolate this position from the outside world.

When Wang Tom saw Hou Jinjun's actions, he naturally guessed its intentions quickly. However, he was not at all panicked by Hou Jin's countermeasures. He had people move the radio station over, and then talked with Harugong

Make contact. Due to this advanced communication method that transcends the times, it is not difficult for Wang Tom to promptly inform Harugong who is fighting outside of the seaside battle situation. Hou Jin wanted to use this to control the Haihan Cavalry Battalion. In Wang Tom’s view

It's simply wishful thinking.

What's more, in the original battle plan, a backup plan had been prepared for the cavalry battalion to escape. There was no need to return to this place to board the ship. And this escape plan was actually not complicated. It was to let the cavalry battalion cross westward.

Jinzhou Isthmus, boarding the ship at a predetermined location on the Bohai Sea coast. The cavalry battalion's attack targets along the way were from east to west, which was very suitable for the arrangement of this plan.

As for where the ship came from, after Harugong set off last night, Wang Tom operated the radio to contact the command headquarters in the south, and proposed a backup plan to dispatch the fleet currently operating near the Bohai Sea coast.

Several ships went to the predetermined location to meet the cavalry battalion's retreat. If everything goes well, they should have met at the Bohai Sea by this time, and maybe they have already started boarding the ship.

The Hou Jin Army stared at the Marine Corps position here, with the ultimate goal of intercepting the Haihan Cavalry. Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation. No matter how long they stayed here, they would not be able to wait for the cavalry to appear again.

Although Haihan's arrangement was ingenious, it failed to hide the truth in the end. Yangu Li received a report before dark that a cavalry unit had boarded a ship and left on the coast of the Bohai Sea. Judging from the size of the observed troops, Yangu Li

Li was basically certain that the cavalry unit that quietly left the sea was the target he was looking for. If this scene had not been discovered by a patrol patrol passing by the local area, the Jin Army would have spent more time to find it.

Find the whereabouts of this cavalry.

Now Yangu Li has an even bigger headache. If Haihan's cavalry has withdrawn, then there is little point in staying here. However, the Haihan army who has established a position here obviously has no intention of leaving immediately, and

It is difficult for our own offensive to pull it out, let alone ignore its existence. It is neither a fight nor a fight. Yanguli cannot throw thousands of troops here. After all, the southern defense line is the only one.

It was the top priority. After much deliberation, Yangu Li could only try his best to balance it, leaving more than a thousand troops nearby to continue monitoring the Haihan position, while the remaining troops followed him back to the fortress defense line overnight.

Today's head-on confrontation with the Haihan Army gave Yangguli a glimmer of hope. He had some vague ideas about how to deal with the Haihan Army, but it was difficult to sum it up for a while. But since he could break through the Haihan Army on the frontal battlefield,

position, he believed there would always be a way to achieve the second or third time.
