Chapter 1442 Dangerous situation
In terms of firepower alone, the Marine Corps with twelve artillery pieces and hundreds of rifles certainly has an overwhelming advantage, but this new army also has an obvious shortcoming, which is the lack of combat experience.Before that, the only battle the Marine Corps had participated in as the main force was the feint attack in Dalian Bay before the winter of last year. At that time, the Marine Corps also had an abandoned fishing village as a support to build a position, and this time, the landing behind the enemy can only be done in A beachhead was built on the empty beach, and the defense was far more difficult than the previous battlefield.
Compared with the special operations battalion with rich combat experience, the Marine Corps under Tom Wang's control of the combat rhythm is indeed slightly inferior.And Tom Wang has rarely commanded land battles in recent years. After he believed that the situation prevailed, he let go of his command responsibilities and personally took up arms to participate in the battle.And when he realized that the fighting rhythm was out of control, Hou Jinjun had already stepped on the corpse of his companion and attacked to a place just a few meters away from the defense line.
After the Jin Army was able to quickly shorten the fighting distance, in addition to the fearless charge, another feature was its strong adaptability to combat.Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weapon performance, their combat experience is really not bad. When the cavalry rushed forward as a human shield, the infantry quickly followed, taking the position of the artillery as the main attack position, and shooting the artillery. The gap quickly shortened the fighting distance.
Although the Haihan artillery is powerful, it is more troublesome to load the ammunition, and the firing speed is far less than that of the rifle.Especially in close combat, the deterrent effect is actually greater than the lethality.After Jin Jun mastered this law, he quickly applied it to the current battlefield.After approaching the beachhead, the guns were shot with bows and arrows. This seemingly primitive means of attack also caused casualties to the artillery who lacked effective protection.After the speed of the artillery firing further slowed down, it gave the Houjin army more opportunities to attack, so some of the dead Bagala warriors finally crawled all the way to the beachhead among the corpses, and then grabbed the artillery and fired. During the interval, he jumped into the position from the gap of one of the gun emplacements.
The melee combat ability of the Haihan Army is actually not bad, but that is when the bayonet is ready, and the artillery is obviously impossible to have such self-defense means.So a face-to-face time, the unprepared artillery was killed and wounded several people.As soon as the gun was misfired, other golden soldiers who were aware of the fighter jets swarmed behind it, which immediately plunged this place into a crisis of impending collapse.
Although Tom Wang was on the rise, of course, he quickly noticed the situation here under the adjutant's reminder.But after all, he was a senior general who had seen big scenes. Seeing that the situation was tight, he didn't panic. He threw the rifle to his entourage, and then ordered: "Bring me the equipment! Assemble the guards!"
In recent years, Tom Wang has actually seldom left the field to participate in the battle in person, and the weapons he carried are basically new things produced by Haihan Ordnance, but the personal weapons and equipment he brought when he crossed over did not stay in the warehouse in Sanya. Most of the equipment has been following him around the world, and there is even a private arsenal dedicated to his equipment on the flagship "Majesty" under his command.And this time the operation was launched behind the enemy lines, just in case, Tom Wang also picked out a few handy weapons for the guards to bring ashore.
The guard immediately brought Tom Wang'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, the arrows shot by Houjin flew everywhere, and Tom Wang naturally had to protect his own safety first.
To wear similar equipment, Tom Wang has practiced with his guards more than once, so at this time, everyone helped him fix his tactical vest, and then put the rifle and pistol magazines into the vest. pocket.In addition, there are special people who tie pistol holsters around his thighs and waist. This close combat weapon is naturally essential.After he was dressed properly, another person handed him a small box. Tom Wang took a few M26A1 grenades from it and carefully hung them on the tactical vest. Finally, the guard took his own HK416 automatic rifle.
If he wears and organizes these equipment himself, it will take at least a few minutes. Fortunately, he is usually well-trained, and a group of guards surround him to fight, and it will be finished in three or two.The guard platoon under the direct command of Tom Wang also quickly completed the assembly during this period, so the squad immediately rushed to the artillery position that had been broken through by the Jin Army.
At a distance of nearly 30 meters, Wang Tom first threw two grenades.He also paid attention to the position of throwing, and he threw it just outside the gap, from where the Hou Jin army was pouring into Haihan's position.In this way, when the grenade explodes, it is not easy to hurt your own people in the position.However, the Houjin army obviously did not regard these two iron bullets as any great threat, and the people who were hit by them didn't care whether they were injured or not.
Two grenades exploded in the crowd one after the other, but Jin Jun, who was blown up, didn't understand what happened at all.Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Houjin army was out of touch, Wang Tom immediately led a guard platoon to clear the Houjin army who had entered the position.The guard platoon was also equipped with seven-shot rifles, and the firepower was naturally strong. After a burst of platoon guns, the dozen or so Jin soldiers who had already attacked were knocked down to the ground.
The Houjin 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 5.56 meters, ordinary armor can't stop the [-]mm bullet of the automatic rifle at all. As long as it hits the torso, basically a bullet can quickly make people lose their ability to move.Tom Wang shot one shot, and quickly cleared the gap. As long as someone came out, he would definitely eat the gun.
Later, Jin Jun naturally found out that the tough defense from the Haihan position prevented them from passing through the gap, so the soldiers who had reached the gap subconsciously climbed 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 live targets. The salvo from the position turned all the people who climbed up to the bunker first into a hornet's nest and fell down, shocking the Houjin army outside the position. endlessly.
Under Wang Tom's quick handling, he finally suppressed this dangerous situation temporarily, but he also knew that there were already a lot of post-Jin Jun breaking through the fire blockade on the periphery of the beachhead. Enemy destroyed.Naturally, he didn't dare to jump out of the gap in the gun emplacement, so he could only take the guard platoon out from the seaside side of the beachhead, and then use the firepower advantage to clear the rear golden soldiers who had already attacked the fortifications.
Of course, this kind of action is taking considerable risks. Losing the cover of the fortification bunker, the stray arrow flying in the air may injure him at any time, and apart from the helmet and tactical vest on his body, only the guards are desperately holding up to cover him. There are several shields on the top of the head and the side of the body.Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, there are even two human shields in front of him, leaving only a gap for the automatic rifle barrel to extend and aim.
The people in this guard platoon are all dead soldiers personally selected and trained by Wang Tom. There is no doubt about their loyalty and bravery. Every soldier is willing to pay his own life as the price for Wang Tom's safety.It is precisely because of the desperate cover of these people that Tom Wang's process of cleaning the periphery of the position in person can proceed smoothly.
For Tom Wang, who has not experienced such a tense scene on the battlefield for a long time, the current battlefield environment is indeed exciting enough. He originally thought that Hou Jin could not break through the defense line of the beachhead, but the reality is quite ironic. The situation happened right under his nose.The process was so quick that not even the gunboats docked by the sea had time to fire to provide cover for the beachhead.It was not until Tom Wang led his troops to clear the enemy forces on the periphery of the position that the gunboats by the sea finally fired their artillery to attack the Houjin army still rushing towards the beachhead in the distance.
Tom Wang used two magazines to roughly clean up the enemy troops that could jump and jump around the beachhead. The gunboats and the continuous firing of artillery on the position isolated all the subsequent offensives of the Houjin Army, and finally calmed the storm. down.
Wang Tom, who returned to the position, did not dare to take off his equipment immediately, but handed the clear rifle to his guard to follow him on his back.If he hadn't dealt with it decisively before, perhaps the beachhead had been completely broken by the Haihan Army at this time, and he was now in a tragic close-quarters fight.Afterwards, the Jin Army had an obvious advantage in terms of military strength. If they were brought into a combat environment that the opponent was good at, even if the soldiers of the Marine Corps were the elites of the Haihan Army, they might not be able to consume more energy than the opponent.
At that time, it would not be a big problem for Tom Wang to get out, as long as he took the guard platoon and made a bloody way back to the ship, but the marines under him would definitely suffer heavy losses in the close combat.In addition to being fortunate, Tom Wang is also reflecting on his previous mistakes in the command process.If you can grasp the rhythm of the battle better, the opponent may not have the opportunity to break into the beachhead.
On the other hand, the other party was very helpless. Seeing that his own army had broken through the peripheral defense of the position, Yang Guli thought that a major event could be accomplished today, but he did not expect that the other party would be in chaos, but the counterattack was also very sharp and attacked. In fact, no one escaped from the Hou Jin army, but even the men and horses on the periphery of the position were also eliminated.At this time, Haihan has more firepower support from the warships at sea, and the number of artillery has doubled. In the face of such firepower output, Yanguli has no confidence to replicate the previous offensive again.
"Retract the troops!" Governor Yang Gulixin couldn't do anything, and sending troops to continue to fight against the beachhead would only increase casualties, so he could only order the troops to be withdrawn.At this time, give up the attack and continue to surround and monitor this position from a distance, and try to stop the missing cavalry team from outside. This is the most likely way to save the situation.
Therefore, after paying more than 500 casualties, the Houjin Army still failed to conquer this position, and could only return to a place one mile away to isolate this position from the outside world.
Seeing Hou Jin Jun's actions, Tom Wang naturally quickly guessed his intentions.However, he was not at all flustered by Houjin's countermeasures, so he had the radio station moved over and contacted Harrugong.Due to this advanced communication method across the era, it is not difficult for Tom Wang to inform Harrugon, who is fighting outside, of the seaside battle in time.Hou Jin wanted to use this to control the Haihan cavalry battalion, in Wang Tom's view, it was simply wishful thinking.
What's more, in the original battle plan, a backup plan was prepared for the escape of the cavalry battalion, and there was no need to return to this place to board the ship.And this escape plan is actually not complicated. It is to let the cavalry battalion cross the Jinzhou Isthmus westward and board the ship at the predetermined location on the coast of the Bohai Sea.The target of the cavalry battalion along the way is from east to west, which is also very suitable for the arrangement of this plan.
As for where the ship came from, after Harrugong set off last night, Wang Tom operated the radio station to get in touch with the command in the south, and proposed to act according to the backup plan, which will be dispatched by the fleet currently operating near the coast of the Bohai Sea. Several ships went to the predetermined location to support the retreat of the cavalry battalion.If all goes well, at this time, it should have been connected at the Bohai Sea, and maybe they have already started to board the ship.
After the Jin Army was staring at the Marine Corps' position here, the ultimate goal was to intercept the Haihan cavalry, but unfortunately they made a mistake. Even if they stayed here for a long time, it was impossible to wait for the cavalry to appear.
Although Haihan's arrangement was considered ingenious, he failed to hide it from the sky in the end. Yanguli received a report before dark that a cavalry unit had boarded and left on the coast of the Bohai Sea.Judging from the size of the observed troops, Yanguli was basically certain that this cavalry force that left the sea silently was the target he was looking for.If this scene hadn't happened to be discovered by the patrol passing through the local outpost, the Jin Army would probably have to spend more time looking for the whereabouts of this cavalry.
This made Yangguli even more troublesome. If Haihan's cavalry had already withdrawn, then there would be little point in squatting here, but the Haihan army who had established a position here obviously did not plan to leave immediately. It is difficult for one's own offensive to unplug it, let alone ignore its existence.This is not a fight, nor is it not to fight. Yang Guli can't throw all these thousands of troops here. After all, the defense line in the south is the most important thing.After thinking about it, Yanguli could only take care of it as much as possible, leaving more than 1000 troops nearby to continue monitoring the Haihan position, and the rest of the troops followed him back to the fortress defense line overnight.
Today's head-to-head confrontation with the Haihan Army gave Yanguli a glimmer of hope. He vaguely had some ideas to deal with the Haihan Army, but it was difficult to sum it up for a while.However, since he can break through the Haihan position on the frontal battlefield, he believes that there will always be a way to achieve the second and third time.
