Chapter 458 The power of the infantry squad!
When one or two fell at the beginning, the Luosha soldiers didn't think it was a big deal. There are always casualties in war. If we can capture these ten or so people, it is normal for us to suffer some losses.
However, by the time they chased all the way to the north side of the stream, more than twenty people had died, and the team leader, Captain Mihatov, was already furious.
"Go ahead and tear them all to pieces."
Captain Mihatov held the pistol in his hand, and a large group of troops had already come up. Nearly 1,500 people were against a dozen soldiers. This was enough to give you face.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of "thu thu thu" in the distance. The reason why they did not use heavy machine guns when the jeep was moving forward was because they did not carry many machine gun bullets, so they had to use them sparingly.
Now the jeeps have rushed across the river and parked on both sides, with heavy machine guns firing at the crowd in the distance.
"Captain, be careful."
The guard bravely rushed over from the side and knocked Captain Mihatov off his horse, thus saving the guy's life, but half of the guard's body was killed.
Mihatov falling off his horse did not mean that he could save his life. The bullets from the large-caliber heavy machine gun grazed the horse's back. A man behind him had lost his head. Looking at the headless corpse, he felt inexplicable fear.
Captain Mihatov's horse, feeling the heat from its back, immediately raised its front hooves more than a meter off the ground.
When the horse fell, a scream was heard from Captain Mihatov, and the horse's hoof landed right on the captain's ankle.
Click...
The sound of breaking bones was heard, and the captain's voice became hoarse from shouting.
The situation for others was not much better either. They also found a local guide and knew that the river could only be passed through this place. It was dangerous to go anywhere else, so they lined up in a relatively dense crowd.
The fire from the two machine guns just now caused more than a hundred of them to fall down.
"Hide and hide."
Deputy Commander Rukimir shouted loudly. Since the commander had fainted from the pain, he had no choice but to take over the authority of command. The authority he had dreamed of before didn't seem so attractive now.
Why did modern warfare abandon cavalry? It was because cavalry were too big a target when facing heavy machine guns. No matter how they tried to dodge, they could not escape the heavy machine gun fire. Although everyone wanted to survive, the situation was too chaotic at the moment, so the machine gun could play its greatest role.
When more than 200 people died, these people finally found some hiding places on the other side of the river. However, the war horses were frightened by the heavy machine guns and still ran around everywhere, occasionally stepping on some lying soldiers.
"Squad leader, so this is how war is fought?"
New recruit Yuan Xiaohe said excitedly that although he could only use the rifle in his hand, it was still very exciting to shoot across the river.
He was counting from the beginning until now, and he had killed six enemies. As the gunshots rang out, the seventh person was also shot dead.
"Stop talking nonsense. Those of you holding rifles, keep an eye on the surroundings. If anyone tries to cross the river from somewhere else, kill them first. Those of you holding submachine guns and machine guns, just focus on the area ahead."
Zhang Jun no longer has that kind face at this moment. He is like an angry leopard when fighting. Now the enemy is hundreds of times more numerous than us. We can only use the advantage of terrain to block them here.
I originally wanted to let the tribe in the rear retreat, but now it seems impossible. These people ran too fast. If we let them cross the river, there would be no one left alive in the entire tribe.
Among the charging troops on the opposite side, there were also some women's shouts. These people were the ones they had robbed all the way from the north.
After the initial panic, the Rakshasa army began to calm down. Seeing that there were only ten people on the opposite side, they immediately split into two teams and began to extend along the stream to the left and right. Either you follow us, or after escaping from their shooting range, you have to start crossing the river.
Although the water is deep, they are willing to take the risk.
"Squad leader, what should we do?"
It was the first time that Longdeltai faced such a big scene and was a little overwhelmed. He had a lot of fun firing the machine gun just now, but when something changed, he had to listen to the squad leader.
Zhang Jun rolled his eyes speechlessly. "You don't know what to do? Do I know what to do?"
Seeing that there were only two units of machine gun bullets left on the car, the original strafing turned into point fire. If the strafing continued, it would not last long.
"Let's stay here. It's difficult to cross the river anywhere else. I asked Uncle Tidak, and even for local people, it would be a life-or-death struggle to cross the river anywhere else, let alone us."
Zhang Jun made up his mind. If they were to run around with the Rakshasa army, their small number of people would be useless. Now they were hiding well, and with the help of two jeeps, there would be no problem in defending this place. They had the momentum of a one-man-block pass against ten thousand.
Many Rakshasa and Xiongnu soldiers went into the water on both sides, but as soon as they stepped in, the water reached their knees in an instant, and the second time they stepped in, it reached their waists. At this time, many people hurried to get out. This kind of small river on the grassland looks very clear, but it is very deep. The third time they stepped in, it might reach their chests. People who can't swim dare not go in at all.
Some people rushed in directly on horseback, and soon they were able to surpass their horses, making the water very muddy. If they were not in a hurry, they might be able to wade across. However, the soldiers on the other side shot at them with rifles, and these people wanted to rush across even faster. As a result, the more they tried, the harder it became.
Although the battle situation is in our favor, many people are extremely nervous. If someone rushes over, we will have to give up this place and all the way to the Tidak tribe, which will make it impossible to defend.
"I'm out of bullets."
Long Deltai said speechlessly, a heavy machine gun had misfired. They had 250 rounds of ammunition in each ammunition box, and each jeep was loaded with five rounds. Adding the ammunition on the machine gun, they were equipped with 1,300 rounds of ammunition, but they had just fired too fiercely...
"Give me this box and shoot it, shoot it!"
Zhang Jun kicked the ammunition box under his feet, and an infantryman crawled over to take it. It was normal that there were no bullets now after such a fierce battle just now.
Damn it, if the Air Force doesn't come to support us, we really can't hold on any longer. The infantry only has less than 20 rounds of ammunition left...
