Chapter 111 Cut off the tail
Since the Russians entered Songshuling a few days ago, although the Liaodong Army has been fighting with the Russians for several days.
However, as a newly formed combat battalion, Zhang Shanlin didn't even see the shadow of an old man, either dealing with the mountain roads under his feet or the trenches on the battlefield.
So, at this moment, not only Zhang Shanlin, but all the soldiers in the camp were holding a breath of resentment and had nowhere to vent.
And at this moment, the commander's order to fight finally came.
Although it was just a harassing battle, for Zhang Shanlin, if the harassing battle was fought well, the war he could achieve would never be less than a head-on battle.
As the former company commander of the reconnaissance company, Zhang Shanlin participated in harassing operations more than once. In the harassing operations, except for commander Yang Xingguo, he was the best at the entire Liaodong Army.
Sure enough, **** had just introduced the situation about the Russians, and a very bold idea appeared in Zhang Shanlin's mind.
"The Russians slammed Yangjiatun without hesitation. The attacks on small-scale not only did not affect them, but would also cause considerable casualties to ourselves..." Zhang Shanlin expressed his thoughts without any hesitation.
"Since that's the case, I'll change the small fight into an ambush battle against the Russians..."
"Aren't the Russians determined to attack Yangjiatun... Well, if I don't stop them, they will do whatever they want."
"And I ambush his tail and cut off one company at a time. Given the current situation of the Russians, they will definitely ignore it and continue to march towards Yangjiatun."
"And this is exactly what I want to see. The troops of one company at a time seem to have little loss on the surface, but if you cut off a few more companies, they will be hurt... By the time they react, we have already escaped with the seizure..."
Nearly two thousand Russians built roads and marched urgently.
Although it was very slow, two hours later, it still pushed forward seven or eight miles.
At this moment, these old Russians gathered in Yangjiatun, and there were only ten miles left.
According to the marching speed in front of them, at most two hours, they could see the foundation of the Liaodong Army, Yangjiatun.
Just when Major General Marney showed a rare smile on his face, a dense sound of gunfire mixed with heavy machine guns suddenly rang out in the direction of the defender company.
Then, a slightly terrified report reached Major General Marney's ears.
"Grand Commander, the defender company was attacked. The enemy was equipped with at least three heavy machine guns. The defender company suffered heavy losses and requested reinforcements..."
Major General Marney, who seems to have seen hope for victory, certainly would not stop here because of a defender company.
He frowned and ordered decisively: "Order, heavy machine gun cover, the defender company breaks through to the main force by itself, and as much as it can protrude... Other troops, continue to advance..."
With Major General Marney disregarding the situation, the defender company was destroyed in just five minutes.
Because, in addition to three heavy machine guns, the reconnaissance company also brought six light machine guns.
Looking at the corpses left by the Russians on the mountain road, Zhang Shanlin's mouth only flashed with a hint of sneer and ordered decisively.
"Take the captured heavy machine guns, ignore other weapons, take a small path, rush to the front of the Russians, and cut off one of their companies...
Half an hour later, Major General Marney gathered in Yangjiatun and had the last seven miles.
There was another burst of machine gun fire mixed with machine gun fire, and even more intense gunfire.
This time, Marni, who was getting closer and closer to victory, also made a decision that ignored him.
Because the Fourth Battalion added a heavy machine gun to seize the Russians, the ambush lasted only four minutes, and the Russians disappeared in one round.
This time, there was another heavy machine gun that was captured in the fourth battalion of the Liaodong Army.
Looking at his subordinates who were more and more brave as they fought, Zhang Shanlin did not lose his calmness and continued to order.
"Brothers, Yangjiatun is ahead, we have one last chance... we will hold on for a while and try to kill another Russian company.
Three miles, Major General Marni is still the last three miles away from Yangjiatun, and even the outline of Yangjiatun can be seen clearly.
Zhang Shanlin's third round of ambush on the Russians was kicked off.
In Yangjiatun, which is close to the year, Major General Marni did not care about it this time.
A heavy machine gun company and two infantry companies immediately launched a counterattack on the Fourth Battalion.
Soon, the fourth battalion that launched the attack retreated.
However, the final result surprised Major General Marney.
Although one company ambushed by the Fourth Battalion still had one platoon left, the two companies that launched a counterattack on the Fourth Battalion lost one platoon of troops.
Of course, Marni's counterattack was not nothing.
Under the clever counterattack of the Russians, the Fourth Battalion, which had almost no casualties, had to leave at least fifty bodies when retreating.
Although the results and losses surprised Major General Marni, Major General Marni turned his attention to Yangjiatun direction only after a short period of time.
A few hundred meters away from Yangjiatun, a trench directly blocked Major General Marni.
In the trench, there were densely packed Liaodong soldiers.
Seeing this, Major General Marni has confirmed that his goal of directly killing Yangjiatun has been achieved.
In order to protect Yangjiatun, the cunning Yangjiatun had to stand up and fight with him.
At the same time, Yang Xingguo also held up a telescope to observe the Russians' every move.
"Zhang Shanlin is worthy of being a veteran of harassment. He killed the Russians in just over two hours... It was really unexpected..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shanlin, who bypassed the Russian, had already stood beside Yang Xingguo and reported excitedly.
"Commander, the Fourth Battalion successfully completed its mission, eliminated one battalion of the Russians, and lost two platoons himself..."
Yang Xingguo asked with satisfaction: "Where is the army...the next is a decisive battle with the Russians, and your fourth battalion will also participate in the battle..."
Chapter completed!
