Vault 32

Chapter 215 Retreat
The marines in the front-line defensive bunkers seem to have reached a certain limit.Although their morale has not declined to the point of collapse, it is not at all comparable to the excitement and excitement when the war first started.After all, they are also living human beings, and the continuous high-intensity firefights also made them feel physically and mentally exhausted.But now they don't have any expressions, they only know that their eyes widened and searched for any possible abnormalities outside, and then they used their fingers to pull the trigger, shooting out the series of fatal bullets, and continued to push back the enemy. A possible charge by the Soviets.

But their consumption of bullets was almost useless. Although they would occasionally knock the suddenly appearing Soviets to the ground and turn them into corpses on the ground, in such a tense combat situation, no one could last long. Time to keep it that way.What's more, their ammunition consumption is also increasing, and as time goes by, their anxious attitude makes them use more and more ammunition involuntarily, which also creates pressure on logistics supplies, especially when the After six boxes of new heavy machine gun ammunition were transported, within ten minutes, nearly two boxes had been consumed.

This does not include the consumption of the M249 light machine gun. In the preparation area on the second floor of the defensive bunker, the shooting openings next to the land on the hilltop are narrower. The four openings can be regarded as observation openings in a larger sense. Not a shooting hole.But under the modifications of the few Marines below, they set up their light machine guns with bipods stretched out, aimed at the close range area outside the hilltop, and fired short bursts from the hidden shooting holes, causing huge losses. It is much better than the heavy machine gun that implements fire suppression.

Every defensive blockhouse facing the Soviet attack is already stretched to the limit. Only every five or six minutes, when the artillery support from the defense line of the cave base comes down, they can relax a little bit. , but two or three minutes later, the Soviet elite infantry that reappeared, and the wave charge that was not afraid of death at all, plunged them into a quagmire like a swamp. Wave after wave of charges retreated, but they suddenly discovered that the distance between the Soviet infantry and themselves was getting closer and closer!
The dull percussion of the heavy machine gun and the crisp sound of the light machine gun constituted the ultimate firepower to defend the bunker. Almost every time there was an explosion of firepower suppression, at least a dozen or so unlucky Soviet elite infantrymen would be torn into pieces by the terrifying firepower. Blood-red shards.But even so, the Soviet infantry still advanced to a distance of less than 50 meters from the defensive bunker. The AKM assault rifles in their hands could already accurately send the bullets to the inside of the bunker along the narrow and long shooting holes. Adding to the casualties of the Marines, they are no longer safe.

Countless gunpowder smoke filled the air, the mountains were filled with the sound of gunfire one after another, and the thunderous bombardment of artillery was everywhere.Death has become the main theme of this area. Hundreds of thousands of Soviets have turned into corpses and fell on the road to the top of the hill. They have lost more than half of them. Even if they belong to the elite troops, they will soon be unable to bear the horror. battlefield.They are no longer fighting, but facing the firepower of light and heavy machine guns naked, to die for the orders of their superiors, and their charge and attack have lost much meaning.

The commander of the Soviet army, Chi Hong, looked like a gambler. The reports from various squads had already made him lose his mind. The 2000-man infantry regiment now has less than 800 people left, and the death of more than 200 people can almost It is predicted that his troops will be wiped out soon.But he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and his orders were still being issued through the radio intercom. Even if his soldiers died more, his request was to rush up, push up, and take all the defensive bunkers out there. Come down, at least there must be certain results, instead of going back now and accepting the most miserable ending of the Cheka.

It's not just the boys in the Marine Corps who have reached a limit, even these Soviets have reached a limit.They suffered huge casualties that they shouldn't have suffered, and even the bottom-level squad troops no longer obeyed the commander's orders, but just stood still, and even defied the military order and retreated a distance of tens of meters to keep themselves away from the frontline battlefield.In the case of more than half of the casualties, none of the troops could continue to attack, especially when their attack had no chance of winning and was just dying in vain, they chose to refuse to obey the orders of their superior commanders.

Unlike the Marines who were always loyal to List, each of these Soviets had their own ideals and ambitions. They chose to obey the commander's orders, in a larger sense because of the larger Soviet military system behind them. .But at present, they are suffering heavy casualties and are unwilling to continue to waste their lives, because a group of pure infantrymen attacking defenses with sufficient ammunition during mountain combat is to die, and that is what it is now!

In the bunkers facing the enemy, the boys of the Marine Corps suddenly discovered that the Soviet soldiers who had been charging forward like crazy, and at the same time were causing them great trouble with their rifles, In just a few minutes, it retreated backward like the ebbing tide.Although they were puzzled, the firepower in their hands was still fiercely sweeping towards the retreating Soviet soldiers, and the group of Soviet soldiers not only did not continue to attack, but even the retreating appearance became scattered, as if the attack was frustrated , suffered a rout after suffering huge casualties.

Liszt, who was at the top of the No. 2 cave, could also see this clearly. His previously solemn face gradually became a little more relaxed, and the M[-] Browning heavy machine gun that was supporting the surroundings at the top in front of him was also because of that. The group of Soviets all retreated to the reverse slope of the hill, and slowly stopped the firepower of the heavy machine guns.And those marines who were still tense also exhaled, with joy and relaxation on their faces, as well as a certain excitement of repelling the enemy.

"Connect to the command room and tell Karl to order the whole army to continue to prepare for battle, quickly replenish the ammunition, and don't relax!"

Looking at the Soviet soldiers retreating like a tide, Liszt's eyes have already scanned the surrounding hilltops and mountainsides, as well as the corpses of Soviet soldiers at the bottom of the hills.But he didn't have a relaxed smile on his face like the others. Instead, he turned his head to look at the squad leader, and waved his hand in a very serious order: "Notify all defensive bunkers and artillery pits, and keep people for observation, and you are not allowed to walk around indiscriminately." , waiting for follow-up orders!"

The team leader immediately nodded in response, walked towards the wired communicator, and quickly contacted the command room in the No. 5 cave.However, Liszt also had a dignified expression about this, and quickly turned around and walked towards the tunnel of the No. [-] karst cave, three steps in parallel, and his pace was extremely fast, relying on his strong physical fitness, he could run Jump in this down tunnel.And his speed is also very fast, he has already appeared in the No. [-] cave within three to five minutes, and walked towards the tunnel of the No. [-] cave without looking back. At this time, Liszt needs more tasks. The group of Soviets seemed to have been repulsed, but based on this tragic battle, he did not think that the Soviets would really retreat permanently.

This was just a light rain before the storm. He successfully took advantage of the contempt of the Soviets, and finally made the Soviets pay the blood price.But he also understands that for the huge Soviet, even if all the infantry regiments are wiped out here, it is just a matter of mobilizing troops again, and it may not even take a day. A brand new one with more advanced equipment The more scientific mountain combat regiment will appear in front of him with a more ferocious posture.

This is the power of the system. In this kind of war, which is not even considered a border conflict, it is just a small mistake for the Soviet with a million-strong army.And this mistake will also attract the huge military group, and more eyes will be more powerful military strength. If Liszt cannot transform the current victory into his next strength, the final result will be that the Soviet armed forces Engulfed by power, not even a bit of dross is left.

The gain of 36 points has already given Liszt a big sigh of relief. Although the bullets and shells of nearly 55 points have been consumed, at least for Liszt, he can recruit more marines and can Exchange for more weapons and equipment.In the current karst cave base, there seems to be a lot of weapons and equipment, but compared to the Soviet troops, the lack is almost pitiful. Not to mention professional anti-aircraft weapons, there is no anti-expert weapon that can penetrate T[-] tanks. It can only be used to defend the bunkers against tank guns, which is already a great loss.

Their firepower mainly comes from the M2 Browning heavy machine gun, but in the undulating mountainous areas, heavy machine guns are not a good solution.He needs more Type [-] infantry cannons, or the most important mortars in mountain warfare as fire support weapons, but this is not absolute. Lister also needs his own pair of eyes, which can see through the defensive bunkers. Cover, look at the eyes of the entire battlefield, to make his firepower more deadly!
