The establishment of the Engineer Regiment is much simpler than that of the other three regiments. There are no 60 light mortars at the company and platoon level, and there are no 81 medium mortars and heavy machine gun companies at the battalion level, let alone the regiment.
Although it is far from the main force in terms of heavy weapons, the main individual weapons are Garand, M3 submachine gun and mg3 general machine gun. The company and platoon units use a large number of bazooka rocket launchers to make up for the lack of heavy firepower.
"Come on! Kill all the little devils!"
In the charging team, the tall and thin figure took the lead. His face was red with excitement, and his voice was hoarse.
As a general, he should set an example by setting a banner. This was the most impressive sentence he heard from Fang Jingyao.
Today's battle is the first battle of the Engineer Corps, and it is also the first battle in which Ayi personally leads the troops. It is also his most important opportunity to prove himself.
In fact, Ayi had been feeling uneasy before the fight started. The weather at the end of August was supposed to be hot, but his body couldn't help trembling slightly. Maybe he was afraid or worried, but it was more of the excitement in his heart before the war.
But once the charge started, all the fear seemed to disappear, and with the surge of blood, the only thought left in his eyes was to kill the enemy.
The soldiers of the Engineer Corps kept in mind their usual training norms and rushed into the positions that were plowed to pieces by artillery fire.
After panicking, the Japanese hurriedly began to counterattack, using machine gunners and artillery to greet them desperately. However, facing the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment with powerful firepower and large numbers, their resistance became more and more difficult.
Although most of Ayi's soldiers are new recruits, their mentality at this moment is completely different from that of their opponents, especially when the deputy commander personally leads the charge.
They are soldiers of the Honorable Third Division, a unit that many little devils in western Yunnan would exclaim "butchers" after looking at it, and this 165th Regiment with weak combat experience just becomes their whetstone!
"Da da da da da..."
"Puff! Puff... Puff... Puff... Puff..."
Ayi braved the hail of bullets and rushed to a trench. At this moment, many soldiers were staying here to avoid enemy machine gun fire.
The few veterans in the 165th Wing set up several machine guns and began to fire at the front of the formation. Several clusters of fire-colored dense projectiles temporarily blocked a depression in front.
The bullets made a popping sound in the soil, and the condescending shooting made the suppressed soldiers unable to raise their heads.
"Your grandma!"
"Puff!"
A soldier wanted to set up a machine gun to fight back, but as soon as he appeared, he was covered by Japanese firepower. Bullets hit his neck and head. The soldier died on the spot.
"Zhao Kezi!"
"Mom, take down the machine gun!"
"Deputy leader...what should we do?"
"Huh...huh..." Ayi leaned against the wall and panted heavily, his expression a little nervous, and his old habit started to happen again.
calm! Be sure to calm down!
Everyone is watching. If he acts as a coward again this time, even the gods will not be able to help him.
What should I do next? What would he do if he were here?
, at this moment Ayi took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and his mind quickly recalled the tactical guidance that Liao Mingyu and Fang Jingyao had given him during training.
"Fa Yao will lie. The machine gun team will go to the flank to contain and shoot. The others should not rush in yet. Stay in the trench and wait for the opportunity. When the rocket launcher team comes up, we will fire together. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
After hearing the commander's order, the soldiers present also had a backbone and began to act according to the order.
The gunfire surging around them became more and more intense. Under the pressure of the veterans, the little Japanese gradually stabilized their mentality, and blazing fire continued to appear on the position.
Although more and more soldiers from the Engineer Regiment rushed forward with their bravery, their lack of experience in attacking fortresses was slowly revealed. In addition, without infantry support artillery fire, even if the individual soldiers' firepower was stronger than that of the little devils, But it is also difficult to break through the defense line.
When the Japanese stabilized their position, the two sides actually started a tug-of-war within a range of forty to fifty meters. For a while, neither side could do anything to the other.
The two groups of people were too close, and the artillery battalion of the Second Regiment behind them did not dare to fire at this time for fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers. They could only release the artillery shells to the Japanese artillery position in order to prevent the other party from attacking. ahead.
At this moment, two rocket launcher teams finally arrived in front of the formation, and the soldiers immediately started loading ammunition without saying a word.
Each company of the Engineer Regiment is equipped with 3 to 5 bazookas. Although it cannot provide support at long distances, the power of the bazooka is irresistible to any fire points and simple fortresses now that it has advanced in front of the enemy. Nightmare.
"The rocket launcher team is ready, others are covering fire! Fight!"
Ayi shouted at the top of his lungs and raised the rifle in his hand.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sudden burst of powerful firepower forced the little devil to lower his head and hurriedly avoid it.
Taking advantage of this gap, seven or eight bazookas have been loaded, and their muzzles are all pointed forward.
"Boo...hoo...boo..."
Several rockets dragged white smoke tails and shot mercilessly at the firepower points of the little Japs. In an instant, red light burst out, and the huge explosion power smashed the little Japs behind the sandbags into smithereens.
"rush!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were deafening. There was no need to say anything at this moment. The soldiers jumped out of the trenches and shouted and fought forward.
The battlefield atmosphere was instantly ignited, and this surging moment deeply affected Ayi. He mustered up his courage, picked up his pistol, and charged forward with shouts and shouts following the attacking team.
The little devils could no longer resist the tsunami-like attacking team and began to withdraw from their positions and retreat. The veterans could still raise their guns and fight back in an orderly manner while retreating, but the new recruits could not control so much.
They ran backwards with all their might, some even dropped their guns, and they only regretted that their parents had lost a pair of legs.
The veterans tried to stabilize the alternate retreat line, but were rushed into chaos by the new recruits. In a rage, the two captains killed several people in a row, but this did not stop the spread of the rout.
Finally, the 165th Regiment withdrew after losing several hundred men, and the position was once again recaptured by the Third Division.
"Huh... Finally, I finally defeated them, hehe..."
Ayi stood in the position and giggled, silently watching the Japanese fleeing, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.
Today, he is no longer cowardly. He finally proved himself and became what he always wanted to be.
I, Lin Yi, did it!
"Deputy commander, there is an urgent call from the division headquarters and I want you to reply in person immediately." A communications soldier came over and interrupted his contemplation.
Ayi felt like he picked up the walkie-talkie and said into the microphone: "Reporting to the audience, I am Lin Yi."
