Chapter 65: The Final Battle (1)
At seven o'clock in the morning on November 26, Wang Yang was busy arranging combat tasks in the frontline headquarters.
"The specific tasks have been arranged. The time is tight. Get ready immediately. If you encounter problems during the battle, focus on completing the tasks. Go ahead." At half past seven, a military meeting was held to inform each company of the general situation of the Dutch army. The arrangements were completed.
After completing the mission, Wang Yang drove the people back.
Yang Tao was still holding the crude battle plan and thinking about whether it could be improved. Xie Hui was going back and forth to the headquarters. Wang Yang stood at the entrance of the headquarters, staring at the busy soldiers outside.
"Is it too hasty..." Yang Tao asked nervously after enduring for a long time.
"The order has been issued. Now, each squad has been assigned tasks, and we have to attack in a hurry!" Wang Yang said, "Don't be nervous. Compared to the Dutch, we are in good condition. Although the pre-war preparations have been hasty, they are still sound.
, tomorrow, reinforcements from the Dutch will arrive, and today is the time when we have the highest winning rate."
"But..." Yang Tao wanted to say something else, but Xie Hui interrupted him.
"The military order has been issued. Changing the order early and late will only cause a loss of morale. The fighter planes are here. Let's take stock of our assets and allocate the amount of ammunition for today and tomorrow!" Xie Hui said impatiently.
"Hey! You are more free and easy than me!" After being interrupted by Xie Hui, Yang Tao adjusted.
"I have carefully checked the inventory. We currently have more than 3,000 intact infantry soldiers. There are more than 300 people who are slightly injured and can go into battle. In an emergency, there are 800 engineers, logistics soldiers, and 800 people who can go to the front line. It's okay.
A thousand militiamen were mobilized, and in terms of weapons, there were 100,000 grenades, and a large inventory of rifles due to large-scale seizures."
"In terms of artillery, there are still fifty-eight mortars with thirteen thousand rounds of shells, nearly thirty barrel artillery pieces with tens of thousands of shells of various types, six 102mm rocket launchers, and a total of 108 launch tubes. Siege the city
Due to difficulty in moving, the artillery battalion is expected to arrive tomorrow."
"Enough, enough." Wang Yang looked at the sky, listened to Yang Tao's words, and murmured.
………………
Yang Yuhua was a soldier in the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. As the 2nd Regiment traveled hundreds of kilometers, he killed many enemies.
After the three detachments joined forces, Yang Yuhua's company was mainly used as a reserve team. It only went to the front line once and was rotated to adapt to positional warfare.
Today, I suddenly received news that their company had taken over a trench. If Wu Cheng was there, he would know that this was their trench.
Due to the contagious nature of malaria, companies that were not sure whether they were infected were temporarily used as reserves. Wu Cheng's company, including Wu Cheng's, was moved to the second line. The company that took over their positions happened to be Yang Yuhua's company.
Yang Yuhua was very excited about this. He may die if he fights, and he is also afraid of death, but if he is afraid of death, he will not fight. That will only make people think that you are easy to bully. How do you say that? Live to die and kill the red-haired ghost.
, they can survive.
Before eight o'clock, the company commander who had gone to the meeting came back. As soon as he came back, he summoned the squad leaders for a meeting.
Yang Yuhua was taking turns eating breakfast and running to the cooking class to serve soup when the class leader suddenly called him to a meeting.
When Yang Yuhua ran from the cooking class to the position in charge of the class, as expected, he was the last to arrive.
"Hurry up, sit down." The squad leader's face was full of smiles. The last time Yang Yuhua saw the squad leader's smile was on the day he broke through Yogyakarta, when the squad leader drove the natives to attack the red-haired ghost like a sheep.
"Headquarters ordered to launch a general attack at noon today!" As soon as Yang Yuhua sat down, squad leader Cao Xingping revealed a big surprise. After being stunned for a second, Yang Yuhua stood up excitedly.
"Sit down, sit down, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Cao Xingping said angrily.
"In this mission, our battalion takes the lead. Our company is at the front of the whole battalion. Our squad is also the first wave to charge. When charging, pay attention to tactical coordination and don't lose your teammates, let alone lose the chain. Tell me, do you have the confidence?
?" Cao Xingping said, imitating the battalion commander's pre-war mobilization.
"Yes!" It was not very neat, but the voice was loud.
"Okay, the task of our class is to move forward, move forward, and move forward again!" Cao Xingping lay on the trench and stuck his head out, looking into the distance.
"Come and take a look." Cao Xingping greeted.
After everyone was lying down in the trench with half of their heads exposed, Cao Xingping pointed out.
"The Dutch's first layer of defense is more than two kilometers away from us. There is still more than one kilometer from the first layer of positions to their camp. After the battle begins, our goal is to advance to a position only 500 meters away from the Dutch camp.
"Cao Xingping said.
"That's all. After the battle started, according to the training, our squad was divided into three combat groups. The deputy squad leader and I each led one group. Lao Luo was injured and Yang Yuhua led one group." The non-commissioned officer Lao Luo was taken over when he came last time.
A stray bullet hit his thigh and he is still in the hospital.
"Go down and prepare. Weapons, ammunition, and medicines. If you need anything, tell me and I will get it. This time there is no limit on the supply."
Yang Yuhua asked for ten grenades, a pack of hemostatic powder, and a roll of bandages. He had plenty of bullets, so he didn't ask for them.
Then we returned to the cooking class, had a full meal, and then waited for the order to attack.
…
On December 26, 1890, after several days of defensive operations, the South China Army turned to the offensive again, and it was a decisive battle from the beginning.
Eleven fifty.
"Start the attack!" Wang Yang ordered.
Yang Yuhua heard the whistle and immediately climbed out of the trench. He knew that the attack had begun.
The Dutch army's first line of defense was 2.5 kilometers away, but the South China Army did not mass attack. It was still within the artillery range. With the restraint of the combat group, although it was somewhat scattered, the South China Army did not rely on group attacks as a surprise force.
Two and a half kilometers, Yang Yuhua was filled with complicated emotions, nervousness, excitement, fear, hatred, relief, etc., etc., it was only 2,500 meters, Yang Yuhua did not expect it to be so long.
Soon, 1,500 meters away, the Dutch discovered the attacking South China Army. The South China Army covering the mountains and plains gave the Dutch the illusion that there were more South China Army than them.
The Dutch artillery fire came quickly, causing some casualties to the South China Army. The South China Army's artillery immediately began to return fire, forcing the Dutch and South China Army to engage in an artillery battle.
Five hundred meters away, sporadic gunshots came from the Dutch position. At this distance, God could not guarantee the hit rate.
"Team leader, are they stupid? Can they hit from such a distance?" the little soldier shouted to him from seven or eight meters away.
"They are scared!" Yang Yuhua comforted the nervous little warrior.
The distance was getting closer and closer, 300 meters, and the squad leader signaled that the attack formation should move forward.
A squad is spread out, nearly 100 meters away, but the defender seems to have people in every direction. This is also the essence of the 3-3 system.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, the closer they got, the denser the enemy's firepower became. However, Yang Yuhua stopped moving forward. Instead, he found a big rock and sat there to light a cigarette.
Seven hundred meters away, three mortar groups were assembled in an emergency. After roughly calculating the distance, the gunner fired a shot, and it went crooked!
Adjusted it and didn't try firing again.
"Five consecutive shots, let go!"
Boom boom!
Fifteen artillery shells all hit Yang Yuhua in front of Yang Yuhua and around the Dutch army's position within thirty seconds. In an instant, the Dutch army's firepower came to a standstill.
"Cover me!" Yang Yuhua shouted, with a cigarette in his hand, half-hunched body, and rushed out. He ran for more than thirty meters and stopped when he found a dirt bag.
The cigarette was thrown on the ground, and he stuck his head out with a gun. The smoke on the other side had not cleared up. Taking this opportunity, Yang Yuhua rushed forward another fifty meters. At this time, the Dutch army stuck out his head and continued shooting.
Yang Yuhua knew that the artillery could not help him, and the nearest one behind him was more than fifty meters away from him. The tactical formation was broken up, but the distance was only more than seventy meters away. As he ran forward twenty meters, he was covered with ten
A grenade can create a breach.
Probe, aim, shoot!
Bang! One fell down on the opposite side, and the Dutchman also stared at him.
"Fire, cover Yang Yuhua!" the squad leader shouted from behind.
The sound of gunfire gradually intensified, and the soldiers of their squad gradually advanced, and they were all within a hundred meters. The soldier closest to Yang Yuhua was only more than ten meters away.
"Let the whole class cover me!" Yang Yuhua shouted to the soldiers.
The squad leader felt anxious when he saw that Yang Yuhua tried to attack twice but was blocked both times.
"Yang Yuhua, you are attracting firepower, I will come right away!" the squad leader shouted from thirty meters away.
"No, squad leader, this position is not good, you can't hide two people!"
"Prepare to attack!" Seeing that the Dutch had been holding them here for more than ten minutes, it would not be a problem if they continued like this, the squad leader ordered.
Just when the squad leader was preparing to attack, intensive gunfire came from behind, suppressing the Dutch.
When Yang Yuhua saw this, he immediately rolled and crawled forward for more than thirty meters. There was a crater where Yang Yuhua could half squat in it.
He quickly stuck his head out and took a look at the opposite position. Remembering the approximate distance and direction, Yang Yuhua took out the grenades and lined them up.
With ten grenades, Yang Yuhua looked out again to confirm the distance, squatted down, took a deep breath, and threw one blindly.
Boom!
The distance was too close, only seven or eight meters away, which only frightened the Dutch.
He took a deep breath again and calmed his heartbeat.
Suddenly, Yang Yuhua picked up a grenade, stood up halfway, and threw it out with all his strength.
Boom!
The gunfire from the Dutch outside was obviously weakened, and screams could also be heard.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Yuhua threw out all eight grenades in one breath.
Explosions were heard one after another, and the squad leader also took advantage of the momentum and rushed to the Dutch army's position. The sound of grenades exploded one after another. The follow-up troops also rushed up. The gap had been opened. Yang Yuhua knew that they had not lost their chain.
However, he did not go out immediately and continued to throw grenades at extreme speed. His right arm was slightly strained and he was confirming the injury.
At this time, in the rear, through the telescope, Wang Yang had learned that their attack was effective and that the first level of the Dutch position had been breached.
"The one who threw the grenade had an extremely good grasp of the fighter plane!" Wang Yang said.
But no one responded to him. Only his telescope was imported and he could see. Yang Tao and Xie Hui's telescopes were old-fashioned and captured. They could only see roughly, but not the person clearly.
"Send troops to follow up, consolidate the position, clear out the remaining enemies, and attack the retreating enemies with artillery!" Wang Yang said in frustration.
Boom boom boom!
Chapter completed!
