Macho Wars

Soon, nearly one-third of the troops had crossed the river smoothly, and all 21 river crossing ropes had been assumed. There were more than 60 rafts on the wide river at the same time, and they were flying at 200 people every five minutes. Efficiently transport people to the other side.

At this time, Colonel Shatz, the commander of the Independence Regiment, came over and said that the wounded and technical soldiers had arrived on the other side, and hoped that the top commander of Dragon could leave first.But Dragon shook his head and rejected the offer.

"Someone needs to sit here. I will cross the river with the last group of people."

"General, it is enough to hand over the responsibility to a few of our regiment leaders. You are our current top commander. It is not safe to stay here."

Shatz wanted to persuade him a few more words, but before he could speak, a communicator suddenly reported to Dragon that an upstream observation post found the enemy and that a rebel patrol boat came down, and the other party was using searchlights. Within ten minutes, you will find the river crossing troops.

After hearing this, Dragon frowned, thinking that what should have come is coming after all. The most feared thing in the process of crossing the river is to run into a rebel patrol boat.They don't have many heavy weapons now, but patrol boats are generally equipped with large-caliber heavy machine guns or small-caliber rapid-fire guns, which are enough to pose a deadly threat to the defenseless rafts on the river.

But hiding now is definitely useless, all they can do is to fight.

After reviewing the existing possessions, the troops on the north bank still have a considerable number of light and heavy machine guns, with an effective range of up to 1,500 meters, and a certain ability to threaten patrol boats, while the second battalion on the opposite bank is There are still two 37mm anti-aircraft guns, with a maximum range of nearly four kilometers and a penetration depth of about forty millimeters. They are indeed more than enough for patrol boats, but only if they can hit them.

After a short while, the rebel patrol boat approached the crossing section, and the opponent was driving in the middle of the canal with searchlights on, looking very arrogant.

The troops who were crossing the river had received signals, stopped advancing one after another, aimed their guns at the approaching patrol boat, and only waited for an order to fire and fire.

Everyone knows in their hearts that if you want to survive, you must fight!

Soon, the rebel patrol boat approached the outermost rope upstream, and the large searchlight swept back and forth across the river. The nearest raft was less than 100 meters away.

Seeing that the other side was about to find the troops crossing the river, the two anti-aircraft guns located on the south bank looked at the opportunity and fired at the other side first.Although neither of these two guns hit the patrol boat, they landed very close to the patrol boat, and the sound of the guns successfully attracted the attention of the other party, causing them to fail to find the black raft closer to them.

The loading speed of the two light anti-aircraft guns was extremely fast. In just one minute, they fired out more than 20 rounds in a row, regardless of the consumption.The rebel patrol boats, with their slow counterattack speed, fully demonstrated the fact that they are a rookie, and it took a long time before they started to fight back to the south bank.As a result, I never thought that the North Bank behind him also started fighting.More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired at them all at once, bathing them in the rain of bullets.

Under the attack from both sides of the strait, the patrol boat that strayed into the ambush circle was quickly smashed into a sieve. It was sturdily hit by seven shells and countless machine gun bullets. The hull was full of dense bullet holes , Quickly lost the ability to move, and the rapidly tilting hull sank completely to the bottom in a short while.

However, before the Marines started cheering for their victory, the outlying observation post sent an emergency notice again, and another rebel patrol boat approached them, and two ships came at once, followed by one. The big, sturdy guy looks like an inland cargo ship.

After learning of this situation, Dragon couldn't help but screamed "unlucky." Although he had expected that crossing the river might not be peaceful, there were too many incidents.

The patrol boat that came later may have heard the sound of guns from a distance. One of the patrol boats accelerated to this side, and as it approached, it fired flares into the air, illuminating the river along the way. .

The other party was quickly surprised to find that the river on this side was full of rafts full of "smugglers", and then almost without any hesitation, he used the large-caliber heavy machine gun in the bow of the ship to shoot frantically.

Chapter 451

The destructive power of the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the inflatable raft is amazing, and a shot hit anywhere is fatal.Therefore, the opponent shot the nearest rafts in just one round. The soldiers above could only jump into the water hastily, and some of them were unfortunately shot and never floated after falling into the water.

Ground forces on both sides of the strait immediately began to attack and assemble fire on each other.However, this patrol boat is obviously more experienced than the one that was sunk before, and its position is quite coquettish. Moreover, in the face of the intensive firepower from both sides of the strait, it did not turn its head and fled, but charged at full speed and continuously collided very witty. Broken three ropes across the river and ran into the middle of the group of rafts.When the machine gun groups and war defense artillery on both sides of the strait saw this, they had to stop shooting for fear of injuring their own people.

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the invading rebel patrol boat, relying on its tonnage and mobility, ran into a group of small boats. Although the soldiers on the rafts fought back bravely with their rifles and submachine guns, the firepower of the other party was even more fierce. , And the hull is completely immune to small and medium tone ammunition, and individual weapons can hardly hurt the opponent.

Seeing that the situation became more and more dangerous, a kayak suddenly gave up evasion, and all the crew rushed up to the patrol boat.

The rebel machine gunners on the opposite side quickly noticed their "life and death" tiny ants, and immediately turned their guns. Under the machine gun fire, nine people on the kayak with nowhere to hide flew in the dense rain of bullets. , But they struggled with the terrible price of all their personnel killed in the battle, rushed to the front of the patrol boat, and finally relying on inertia, hit the bow of the patrol boat before sinking, and then exploded, exploding in the bow of the patrol boat. A large hole close to one meter in diameter.

For an inland river patrol boat with a displacement of only tens of tons, such a large wound is undoubtedly fatal, and the river water suddenly poured into the cabin.

Although the rebels and sailors on the ship closed the front hatch in time, the sesame-sized boat could not separate several watertight compartments at all, so just the water in the front compartment caused the entire bow of the ship to sink along with the speed. dramatically drop.

When the marines on the kayak saw this, naturally they would not waste the opportunity of their comrades in exchange for their lives. They rushed up with machine guns, and directly fought a pirate-like "jumping fight". .

The Marines who rushed up quickly killed all the rebel sailors on the patrol boat and successfully captured the patrol boat.

Upon seeing this, Dragon on the north bank was a little relieved. The battle just now cost them seven or eight kayaks, and the casualties are initially estimated to exceed one platoon.And the battle is not over, there is a rebel speedboat and a cargo ship escorted by them upstream.

Although the tonnage of inland cargo ships is far inferior to that of ocean-going cargo ships, the smallest is also 800 tons.

Even if this guy is not armed, he can basically ignore the attack of the 37mm caliber war defense gun. As long as it rushes at full speed, it can break all the ropes for crossing the river that the Second Battalion has spent several hours to build.

Fortunately, after losing two patrol boats in a row, the rebels who could not figure out the situation for the time being did not rush over.The other side weighed it over and over and decided to persuade him.The last patrol boat covered the freighter and turned around and returned.

Seeing the opponent leaving, the First Marine Division couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but this short surface battle also exposed the whereabouts of the First Marine Division. The escaped patrol boat would definitely report to the superior that they had encountered a battle, the rebels. Ground troops will inevitably be sent.

Therefore, without hesitation, Dragon immediately ordered to speed up the crossing of the river. The captured rebel patrol boat was also used to transport the soldiers back and forth between the two sides of the strait with a slanted body, and can pack up to two at a time. People in platoon go up.

In less than eighty minutes, the last group of marines from the north shore was successfully transferred to the south shore. Dragon was the last group to take a patrol boat. The old man who sailed directly washed the beach and let this ship break. The tattered patrol boat sank on the shallows.

After all the members of the First Marine Division came ashore, they immediately left the shore and headed south. Not long after they left, a rebel armored battalion arrived at the crossing point.After checking the traces left by the local area, they preliminarily judged that there were units above the regiment level. From here, they crossed the river to ashore. In most cases, it was the first Marine Division that was running around like rabbits.

They quickly reported the situation, and when Kharov received the report, he was stunned for a long time, and finally realized that he had been placed by Dragon again.He crossed the river once and twice, stupefied to fool the troops of his three divisions to the north bank.

And then as expected, Harov received the news that the First Marine Division crossed the river and returned to the south bank within half an hour, and received the second bad news. The last bridge remaining on the canal was also destroyed by the Marine War. The division was destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that the opponent did not conduct a frontal attack this time. Instead, it used a small group of elite troops, or adopted the tactics of disguise, unknowingly blending into the bridge guarding troops and placing them on the weak points of the bridge. After bombing, the bridge was blown into three sections.

That bunch of bastards, even the explosives they used, were stolen from the arsenal of the bridge guarding troops, which was horrendous to the extreme.

Harov roughly calculated that even if he called the chasing troops back now and waited for them to cross the river and return to the south bank, it would take at least three days. With this effort, the First Marine Division would have run out of sight. .

"Dragon of this dog day, damn first Marine Division!"

Kharov must admit that he had fought a whole life, and it was the first time he encountered a difficult opponent like Dragon.He can stand upright with you, head-on head-to-head confrontation, and there is no lack of sneaky moves.Harov also played shameless tactics, but he obviously didn't play Dragoon.

With a silent feeling in his heart, Kharov looked at the strategic map in front of him with a headache. At present, his newly formed forward of the 3rd Corps has advanced to a place less than 10 kilometers away from the central highway, but he was attacked by the 89th Division. The 95th Division's tenacious resistance, fighting for one day and one night, only advanced less than 500 meters.

The First Marine Division, the 89th Mechanic Infantry Division, and the 95th Motorized Infantry Division, these three units are all units from the former colonial military area. They have fought many major battles in succession in recent years, but the other few have high self-esteem. The veteran military region has never been able to adjust the old concept in time to face up to this rising star.

As a result, the civil war broke out, and they saw the truth with their own people, and everyone was shocked to discover that the dish chicken that everyone looked down on had developed a terrible tendon, and the fighting power was so powerful that it was impressive.

This reminds Kharov of his conversation with a well-known scholar two years ago.The other party asserted at that time that the colonies of the new world would eventually rise, so the old continent, which was self-proclaimed and infighting, would give up its position sooner or later and pay homage to the new world center.

Chapter 452

Ashore from the crossing point, the First Marine Division rushed into the nearby mountains before dawn. After a good morning rest, it hurried out before nightfall.

Dragun ordered all the unused supplies to be thrown away. Each soldier carried only one day's ration, and marched southward without stopping.The Marines, who had lost all their vehicles and heavy weapons, leaned on their two legs and ran for eighteen kilometers in seventeen hours, arriving at a col nineteen kilometers west of the Dolo Mountain Fortress. The strong reconnaissance company led by Buck merged and got in touch with the 95th Division.

Not only did this marching speed far exceed Kharov's expectations, even Alduin, who thought he had a lot of research on the First Marine Division, was shocked.So that when he was talking with Dragon, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Are these guys really four-legged animals?"

The commanders of the troops on both sides did a simple study, and the final breakout operations were not complicated. They directly adopted the front and back attack. The 95th Division took the lead in attacking, and then the First Marine Division quietly touched the back from behind the enemy. Xiaogouzi, give the other one a step to the stomach!

So after nightfall, the 89th and 95th Divisions, which had been in passive defense before, quickly adjusted their deployment on this side, pushing the heavily loaded units to the front line, and some light infantry commandos crawled out of the trenches quietly. The opposite ground creeps forward.

At 11:55 in the evening, the battle started by the defenders.

The two artillery regiments furiously output for fifteen minutes at a point on the rebel position, covering the more than 300 meters wide position with artillery fire. Then the artillery stopped, and the commando that had touched the front of the rebels jumped. Rise, and smoothly break into the enemy line.

The unit that was suddenly attacked was the 66th Infantry Division of the New Third Corps of the Northwest Army. Because it was formed only last year, its combat effectiveness was relatively weak. Dragoon and Alduin regarded it as the "soft" with a good feel. persimmon".

Almost at the same time that the frontal battle started, the First Marine Division approached from behind the 66th Division of the Northwest Army.Thanks to the rain at the time, Dragon thought of a way. The whole army put on rain ponchos, and then sang the Northwest Military Region's military anthem "Advance in the Snow" while marching in line to approach the rebels.

When I saw this posture from the other side, I subconsciously thought that reinforcements had arrived, and I just wanted to go up and ask them which part they were from, but there was a sudden rush.
