"The enemy is coming!" At a certain position, a company commander was staring ahead. When he saw a dense group of figures in the distance, thousands of people charging towards them, it was still very shocking.
"Regiment commander, are you still not going to fire?" The vice leader of the first group said to the leader.
The regiment commander put down his binoculars and shook his head.""It's not the time yet. Once we fire, they will run away. We need to exhaust some of their strength first and let the soldiers experience real combat. When the time is right, we can launch a counterattack and swallow them up!”
This regiment commander was a Red Alert officer. He was originally just an ordinary soldier. After two upgrades at the base, he became a Level 3 soldier and became the regiment commander of the first regiment. In the future, he could also become a higher-level commander through continuous learning.
Artillery was their biggest trump card, and now was not the time to use it. Of course, the artillery that the deputy commander was referring to was not the Artillery Regiment directly under the division, but the Artillery Support Battalion that belonged to the first regiment. It was equipped with 18 75mm field cannons and 12 recoilless cannons.
Liu Wencai's 7th Regiment's offensive line was very scattered, and there was no order at all. It was obvious that this was the result of neglect in training, or it could be said that they were farmers who were forced to work.
After Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang lost the battle for power in Sichuan, the losses of the troops were not small, so they could only recruit strong men everywhere to fill the number of people. This was a very common thing in this era.
"Put them in 200 meters before we fight!”The company commander looked at the approaching attacking troops. The dense crowd still gave him a certain amount of pressure. Some soldiers even began to swallow their saliva nervously.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Just treat this as normal training.”The platoon leader of the Red Guards began to calm the restless soldiers. The effect was obvious. This was the role of veterans. If it was a pure recruit team, some people would probably run away when they saw this scene.
When the charging troops were about 500 to 600 meters away from the formation, some soldiers began to shoot in a scattered manner. However, their guns were completely inaccurate, and only a few bullets landed on the formation.
When the captain saw them cross the line, he shouted,""Fight!" After saying that, he pulled the trigger. The muzzle of the gun began to jump, and bullets were spat out one after another.
The first company commander's gunshot was an order, and the various machine gun firing points began a massacre. The first company at the front had nearly 20 general-purpose machine guns and 3 Browning heavy machine guns.
"Hiss hiss hiss!" "Da da da da!" "Bang bang bang"
Machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns opened fire almost at the same time. Bullets rained down like a storm, and a large number of the charging troops fell down like wheat being harvested.
"Rapid five consecutive shots! Release!"
Not far away from the base, there were many mortars. When the commander waved the flag, the mortars began to roar and fire small and medium-caliber shells.
50mm howitzers were usually used as platoon-level support firepower, while battalion-level mortars and above were usually used as 80mm mortars and 120mm heavy mortars.
The rapid firing of the mortars caused the crowd to feel like they were being bombarded. The shells exploded in the crowd, causing a blank space.
The fierce firepower stunned the soldiers of the 7th Regiment. They had never experienced such powerful firepower before. This was a complete massacre. They had no strength to fight back at all.
"Run!" When the soldiers at the back saw the tragic scene in front of them, they were immediately frightened. They screamed and ran back without caring about anything. One by one, the soldiers ran away, causing the attacking forces to retreat.
"This is too much!" The company commander was still holding the Somi submachine gun, which was already starting to heat up, as he spoke with a hint of unwillingness.
In just a few minutes, the first wave of attack ended with the retreat of the attacking troops. They also left hundreds of corpses behind, and the entire regiment was almost crippled.
The 7th Regiment Commander, who was watching from afar, was dumbfounded. He even rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly. He wanted to see if the enemy was Chinese or Westerners, and how could their firepower be so fierce?
"What happened to the 7th Regiment? He was defeated in just two moves. Tell the 7th Regiment Commander to launch another attack. I will get Cannon to support him!”The brigade commander shouted angrily when he heard that the 7th Regiment had just launched an attack and was forced back.
The cannons he was talking about were actually just a few 75mm mountain cannons. These were the cannons from the First World War that were bought from France. These were the only few cannons in his hands, and the more cannons were closely watched by Liu Wenhui, like big treasures.
If it wasn't for the fact that Liu Wencai was his number one subordinate, Liu Wenhui wouldn't even give him a few 75mm cannons.
