Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Chapter 124: Southwestern Fujian Melee 8

After seeing the vanguard of the 108th Brigade being blocked, they could not stop advancing.

Li Yan was still wondering if the 108th Brigade was not afraid of being attacked from both sides.

A roar was heard

Then dense bullets were fired towards their position

The soldiers couldn't raise their heads

Li Yan saw the light machine gun phalanx in front and the continuous infantry phalanx behind

I couldn't help but narrow my eyes

I didn't expect the commander of the 108th Brigade to use the wave tactic.

This tactic uses the advantage of numbers to continuously charge and attack the target.

Like waves crashing against a levee

As long as the levee doesn't fall, the waves won't stop.

The reason why Tiger Mouth is called Tiger Mouth

That's because Tiger Mouth is at the exit of Meishan

The terrain is relatively flat and the mountain pass is wide.

In addition, time was tight and the construction was simple.

The national army was able to rush to the position quickly and engage in close combat.

Even if Li Yan had a mortar battalion, it would be of no avail.

At this time, it is appropriate for the national army to use the wave tactics

The national army is fighting desperately

Either the levee is destroyed and people die, or the levee is strengthened and the waves subside

If we don't pay attention, the national army will turn defeat into victory

Li Yan also had to take it seriously and shouted loudly: "Zhao Wu"

"Send someone to notify the stonemason behind."

"Let the stonemasons retreat with the radio and artillery battalion."

"Put some trees and rocks behind us every 100 meters to block the mountain path."

"Don't block it, leave a gap for retreat"

"If necessary, you can use mortars to bombard one side of the mountain."

“Falling debris is an obstacle.”

"And have the radio contact the Chief of Staff and others to see when they can arrive."

"Go quickly"

After Zhao Wu sent his men away

Li Yan shouted loudly: "Everyone prepare the grenades!"

After Li Yan gave the order, he snorted in his heart.

Make a strong effort at first, then it will weaken, then it will stop.

Come if you are not afraid of death

20 meters, 15 meters 10 meters

Li Yan saw the Kuomintang machine gun phalanx rushing over and shouted loudly: "Throw it!"

Suddenly, there were explosions in front of the position, and dust was flying.

Li Yan didn't care too much and immediately shouted: "Zhao Wu"

"Let a company of soldiers rush forward and engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat."

"The rest of the people beat the infantry behind them hard."

Zhao Wu said nothing

Shouted loudly: "Company 1, put on bayonets!"

"Charge!"

Li Yan's combat philosophy is to destroy the enemy with bullets, and never use cold weapons.

This is also the first time that Li Yan has used hand-to-hand combat in this era.

The first company was the first batch of troops formed after Zhao Wu returned to Meishan.

Longest training time and most battles

The combat effectiveness is quite strong

In a moment, they were entangled with the machine gun phalanx of the national army.

This immediately reduced the pressure on the Meishan Red Army in the rear position.

Light and heavy machine guns swept towards the infantry positions of the national army without hesitation

After a while, a barrage of comments was formed.

Separate the Nationalist Army's infantry and machine gun formations

Brigade Commander Yang watched the Kuomintang soldiers in the machine gun formation fall one by one

My eyes are already bloodshot

Every machine gunner is built with oceans

"Captain Liu, order the death squad to throw grenades towards the Red Bandits' positions!"

Regimental Commander Liu quickly stopped them: "Commander, you can't throw grenades. Our machine gun phalanx is still in front."

Brigade Commander Yang's face turned pale: "The battalion we left behind to sniper will not be able to hold out for long."

"Once the Red Bandits come after us, we'll all be finished."

Execute Command

Without hesitation, Captain Liu ran to the front of the team.

Shouted: "Throw the grenade!"

Li Yan saw an officer running out from behind the Kuomintang troops.

Due to the interference of gunfire, Li Yan did not hear what the officer said.

But I saw the infantry behind the national army, all of them were holding grenades in their hands.

Thinking it was not good, he shouted loudly to the company fighting hand-to-hand: "Retreat!"

Just raise your hand and shoot

Right between Captain Liu's eyebrows

Too bad it's too late

Grenades fell from the sky and landed directly on the battlefield where hand-to-hand combat was taking place.

Zhao Wu stood up frantically and shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

Li Yan flew over and threw Zhao Wu to the ground.

He rolled over and rolled more than 2 meters away

Wait for Li Yan and Zhao Wu to stand up

Looking at the place where he and Zhao Wu were just now, a big hole had been blown out.

Li Yan kicked Zhao Wu to the ground

Screaming loudly: "I don't want to die!"

Zhao Wu was lying on the ground with red eyes. He was about to say something.

Li Yan has no time to care about Zhao Wu now

Turn around and rush towards the front position

He shouted, "Cover the retreat of the first company!"

"Never let the enemy rush into the position"

Zhao Wu slapped the ground hard and stood up

Holding an empty light machine gun next to him

While approaching Li Yan, shooting

By the time Zhao Wu's group was pulled down, there were only about 20 people left, and everyone was injured.

Li Yan looked at Zhao Wu who was rushing towards him and woke up.

He said: "Leave two companies to snipe the enemy."

"Let the rest of the people retreat"

"Use the obstacles created by the stonemasons to rebuild the defense line."

Zhao Wu shouted loudly: "Second Company, Third Company, stay here!"

"Others retreat"

After Zhao Wu gave the order, he said to Li Yan: "Captain, you retreat first."

"I'll stay and block it."

Li Yan didn't hesitate: "You guys snipe for 2 minutes."

"Just cross cover and retreat"

After that, Li Yan led the troops to retreat

After retreating 100 meters, Li Yan looked at the obstacles that the stonemasons had made with branches and stones.

He ordered Song Tao again: "Take two companies from the special forces battalion and establish a sniper defense line here."

"Cover Zhao Wu's retreat"

"When Zhao Wu retreats..."

"Tell him to stay here and snipe the enemy with you for ten minutes."

"Retreating to the next line of defense"

"have you understood?"

Song Tao immediately replied: "I understand."

Li Yan didn't say much and continued to retreat with the rest of the people.

Every time you encounter an obstacle, leave two

Until I met the stonemason, I built four lines of defense

Li Yan asked the stonemason, "Have the Chief of Staff and the others replied?"

The stonemason said, "The Chief of Staff just sent a telegram back."

"They just broke through a battalion of enemy snipers"

“It will take at most 30 minutes to arrive.”

Li Yan nodded

He didn't expect that the 108th Brigade was so powerful.

It's a completely life-threatening style of play.

In addition, whether it is the will of the soldiers, combat quality

Or the command level is several levels higher than the 83rd Division that they destroyed

It is worthy of being the ace unit of the national army

Li Yan is ready to give it a try

Said to the stonemasons: "Go to the back and build artillery positions"

"Wait until all troops retreat to the last line of defense"

"Just take your artillery and bombard the nationalist army fiercely."

"Don't leave a single shell behind"

"If the national army breaks through my line of defense"

"Just blow up the mountains on both sides and block the exit of the mountain road."

"We must not let the national army break through"

Seeing Li Yan's resolute expression, the stonemason nodded heavily: "Unless I die."

"Otherwise, the enemy will never be able to break through the last line of defense."
