Small-scale charges again and again, the Jiaziku Fortress was harassed from all directions. The Xuanwu Fourth Battalion always encountered sudden and crazy attacks, followed closely by a swift retreat without any delay.
On the frontal defense line of more than 1,000 meters of the fortress, you simply don’t know where the enemy will feign an attack or where they will launch the main assault. The complex terrain hinders the charge of the large Russian troops, but it also gives these Small-scale raids create favorable conditions.
Aikeson is indeed a very talented commander. He can make correct tactical changes according to the different geographical environments of the battlefield. The hillside in front of the first trench is gentle and there are few trees. As a result, Aikeson opened and closed directly. Two groups of more than 3,000 people were organized to charge intensively.
The two waves of charges and hand-to-hand combat took full advantage of the superiority of our own troops and the superior quality of individual soldiers. They not only caused huge casualties to the Xuanwu Fourth Army, but also directly forced the new army to abandon the first trench.
When the battle advanced to the second defensive fortress, he discovered the characteristics of the battlefield's steep mountains and rugged rocks, and formulated a long-term harassment tactic.
The Chinese Marines had a solid fortress to rely on, and the attacking Russian army also had rocks and giant trees that could serve as temporary barriers. The battle lines of both sides were just stuck together.
Rifles and grenades are not very effective. At critical moments, you have to rely on incendiary bombs filled with kerosene. This Molotov cocktail in a glass bottle is really effective in dealing with this complex geographical environment.
The cocktail smashed into the cracks of the rocks poured burning kerosene into every crack. The raging flames began to flow with the liquid kerosene, causing the Russian soldiers who were hiding to scream.
Unable to bear the pain, the Russian soldiers jumped out from behind the rocks, and one by one they desperately launched a suicidal charge towards the fortress. However, they were knocked down by a dense rain of bullets before they could even take two steps.
"Good! Good burning! Burn these sons of bitches to death!" There was cheers in the fortress.
"Save ammunition! Save ammunition! Incendiary bombs are for emergency use and cannot be wasted prematurely..." Company Commander Wang Chen ran through the tunnel, warning the red-eyed soldiers one by one, and snatched a Bottle after bottle of cocktails.
Wang Chen lay vigilantly next to the battalion commander Chu Zhao and whispered, "It doesn't feel right! These Russians seem to be deliberately trying to consume our patience. What are they going to do? Touch our bottom? Consume our ammunition?"
Chu Zhao said coldly, "Yes, the commander on the other side is very sinister. If I guess correctly, they will launch a bombardment on us soon... Pass the order and be careful to avoid it!"
Before he finished speaking, the first trench area at the foot of the mountain suddenly burst into bright flames. The Russian artillery position that had just been deployed opened fire again, and the shell screamer exploded towards the Jiaziku Fortress.
The red-haired Axon is extremely calm. He is obviously a young man in his twenties, but he is as calm as an old man in his 60s or 70s on the battlefield. He is not only directing this battle, he is also learning to fight. In summary of the battle.
In the observation bunker built with sandbags in front of him, a large table was filled with telescopes, pens, notepads, military maps, red and blue pencils, and various drawing tools.
Aikeson picked up the telescope to observe the battlefield carefully and issued the latest orders. He drew various lines on the map to supplement every detail on the battlefield. After a while, he picked up the pen and started writing on the notepad. He sketches various shorthand words and numbers that only he can understand.
How big is the time difference between infantry and artillery coordination? How should it be adjusted? Does the equipment carried by the individual soldiers during the feint affect their mobility?
How to make up for the fact that the ballistic trajectory of field artillery is too straight? Where are the blind spots for shooting in the permanent fortifications built by the enemy?
All kinds of problems have to be summarized into specific details and detailed figures. The young major is maturing at an incredible speed.
While writing, Aikeson was mumbling to himself, and while he was deep in thought, he subconsciously had a very evil smile on his lips. If you are in the aristocratic circles of big European cities, such as Moscow and Paris, such young people are enough to make all ladies obsessed.
This kind of evil smile, paired with a handsome face and red hair, is enough to become a fatal poison for those women.
But in war, a place full of masculine killing, such evil smiles can only make others feel panic. This is how the officers in the temporary command post who have higher ranks than Aikeson feel at the moment.
"Very good, keep this artillery fire density for another fifteen minutes... take advantage of the artillery coverage time to transport our wounded soldiers down, and let the Greyhound Battalion and Coyote Battalion prepare for battle as reserves..."
"Send a request for help to the St. Peter. I remember very clearly that there are two secret weapons among the munitions carried this time. Now it's time to use them... Hahaha, let's see how long these Chinese can hold on. Woolen cloth?"
"Okay, before tonight, I will take you to open the treasure house... Although these Chinese are very powerful, it is a pity that the war is about absolute strength, and there are too few of them!"
The St. Peter on the sea quickly received Axon's semaphore signal. Stefanski was stunned when he saw it. "Need a mortar? Damn it, what are these Chinese building? A fortress? Thirty Even the field artillery can’t solve the problem, so mortars are needed on the battlefield?”
When Molière heard this, he suddenly realized, "Oh God! We have really caught a big fish. Major Aikeson needs the support of mortars. This shows that there is a permanent fortress on Tangwan Mountain! This is really Xiao Letian's secret." Base camp, we really found a treasure..."
"General! I request to escort the mortars to Tangwan Mountain in person. I must see with my own eyes what this treasure house looks like..."
In fact, let alone Molière, Stefanski actually wanted to go ashore to see with his own eyes what the treasure house would look like when it was opened, but he knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, his post was on the flagship, and his first priority was It is to control the entire fleet.
So Stefanski could only lick his lips and said with regret, "Okay, you might as well go take a look for me and help a bunch of Exons... Also, remember to leave me a share of the loot. I can't wait now." I want to see what it looks like like a mountain of gold..."
Molière raised his hand in salute and turned around to walk off the bridge. At this moment, two heavy mortars were also placed on the deck of the transport ship by a crane. From a distance, the short, thick and thick mortars looked like two small fat piers. The 360 caliber The shells hit the large wooden boxes and filled the deck of the entire transport ship.
"Let's go, boys! Go give those Chinese people a big gift!"
