Four Hundred and Seventy Eighth Resistance
The mobile corps has no artillery establishment, and these seven cannons were obtained by Bian Ge from the airport supplies.
The defenders had known for a long time that there were a batch of mortars in the reserves, but the artillery was a technical arm, and even relatively simple mortars were not so easy to master, so these mortars never came in handy.
However, mobile soldiers are either special forces or scouts, and they have enough understanding of various active weapons, regardless of whether they are flying in the sky or swimming on the ground, as long as they are active equipment, they can find suitable operators.
Even with a few heavy artillery pieces, Bian Ge can still find qualified gunners, just a few mortars, what a joke.
The indiscriminate bombing regardless of cost successfully covered the safety of the retreating personnel. When the last batch of personnel evacuated from the airport, Bian Ge immediately notified the troops to withdraw.
Twenty armored vehicles no longer entangled with the swarm, and drove back immediately.
However, the swarm didn't intend to just let the armored convoy go, and rushed towards the armored vehicles relentlessly.
The armored vehicle retreated and fired, but it couldn't clear all the wolves on the vehicle.
The convoy gradually approached the defense line, and at the same time, a large number of wolves followed the convoy.
Bian Ge waved his hand: "The medium-caliber machine gun targets the armored vehicle, raise the muzzle and shoot freely, and the large-caliber machine gun clears away the wolf insects, shoot!"
As soon as the words fell, more than 60 machine guns on the defense line fired at the same time. The dense gunfire was like a sea tide, and the deadly bullets were like a heavy rain, pouring on the swarm of insects head-on.
The gap to evacuate the airport was only 40 meters wide, but more than 20 medium-caliber machine guns and more than 30 large-caliber machine guns were concentrated, and the firepower density was terrifying.
The well-trained soldiers are definitely not firing indiscriminately. Every shot has a clear target. They will never shoot aimlessly because of the menacing giant insects, but try to save bullets as much as possible.
The shooting speed of automatic weapons is extremely high. If you hold the trigger and hold on, more than a hundred rounds of ammunition chains can be fired in a blink of an eye. Experienced soldiers will not fire blindly at any time. Only the first time they go to the battlefield Only a novice like him will hold on to the fire and never let go.
This is true of machine guns, let alone rifles. A fully armed soldier only carries more than 200 rounds of ammunition, and six or seven magazines are full. All the bullets were fired.
Mortars, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and multiple crossfires formed a dense fire net in front of the defense line.
Any giant bug that crashes into it will be torn apart by the relentless rain of bullets.
The first batch of fallen wolves piled up more than 200 meters away from the line of defense. The wolf worms who feared no fear and feared life and death flocked to the only line of defense like a tide. After falling down and then rushing up, every fallen wolf worm is a bunker for its companions. The piled up worm corpses gradually form a low wall. Even a powerful 12.7mm heavy machine gun cannot penetrate dozens of wolf worms. Front and rear stacking of wolf worms.
With the help of the cover of the corpse wall, the swarm slowly but firmly moved forward step by step, slowly approaching the defense line.
The swarms of insects are raging, and the ammunition consumption on the defense line is extremely high. Soldiers who have no combat missions for the time being act as temporary deputy shooters, and continuously send the ammunition accumulated behind the defense line to the position, and hang them on the ammunition belt that is about to be finished in time to ensure the maximum firepower of the machine gun. continuity.
The swarm was getting closer and closer, and the returning convoy was also slowly approaching the position. After closing the distance, the machine guns fired more accurately, and the machine gunners began to clear the wolf worms on the vehicle according to Bian Ge's order.
It wasn't until the convoy drove to a place only fifty or sixty meters away from the position that the machine gunner killed the last wolf worm, and the crossfire effectively cut off the wolf worm following the armored vehicle, and the convoy finally returned safely with a car full of worm blood.
However, this trip not only wiped out the ammunition stored in the armored vehicles, but also caused some damage to the armored vehicles. If the wheels were not puncture-proof tires, at least half of the twenty armored vehicles would be thrown on the airport.
The convoy drove past the position and lined up behind the line of defense. Ye Han jumped out of the car, feeling quite disheartened and dejected.
Bian Ge glanced back, and immediately turned back to continue to pay attention to the movement of the swarm: "Ye Han, replenish the ammunition immediately, leave the first squadron to me, and you take the other two squadrons and the battalion headquarters to withdraw first, take over the defense of each intersection, let the garrison Get out first."
The organization of the mobile troops does not directly borrow the army standard, but is progressive in divisions, squadrons, brigades, and detachments. The battalion-level organization should be the brigade headquarters, but Bian Ge was born in the army and has always been accustomed to applying the army organization.
"Yes!" Ye Han agreed, "How many intersections are there in total?"
"I don't know, you directly contact the garrison for coordination."
"Understood!" Ye Han agreed, and immediately arranged for the troops to replenish ammunition.
The ammunition vehicle was parked nearby, and the soldiers charged forward, filling up the magazines of the armored vehicle in just a few minutes.
Ye Han took the opportunity to contact Shayuan Headquarters. After asking, he found out that there are more than 30 intersections that need to be defended from the airport to the next line of defense. The two squadrons plus the battalion headquarters have less than 30 armored vehicles. Not enough cars.
And Ye Han thinks that at least two cars should be placed at an intersection.
It is unrealistic to fully take over the defense of this road. Ye Han immediately made a decision to order the troops to put two armored vehicles at each intersection, one intersection after another, until all the armored vehicles entered the combat position.
There is no rush to take over the remaining intersections, and there is nothing wrong with letting the garrison guard for a while.
Ye Han jumped onto the armored vehicle of the battalion headquarters before the ammunition was replenished, and directed several vehicles to evacuate first, but he stayed behind to take over the defense after withdrawing to the first intersection, and let the other vehicles continue to retreat.
The first batch to withdraw were either ammunition vehicles or cooking vehicles. There was only one self-defense machine gun on the vehicle, and its combat capability was very limited. But at this juncture, Ye Han couldn't care less, and ordered the convoy to take over the defense in order.
A few minutes later, the first batch of armored vehicles replenished with ammunition withdrew, and Ye Han immediately ordered the auxiliary vehicles to continue to retreat, and the combat vehicles filled the vacancy until all the armored vehicles of the two squadrons were in place.
At this time, it had been more than 20 minutes since Bian Ge gave the order to retreat, and the gunshots from the direction of the airport kept ringing.
"Ye Han wants to call Bian Ge's radio: "Captain, all the troops are in place!" "
"Get ready for battle!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Received!" Bian Ge cut off the communication and switched to the communication frequency of Shayuan headquarters, "Commander Yu, how is the situation of the troops?"
"The large forces have withdrawn behind the Huangsha River defense line, and only a small number of defensive troops remain on the north bank."
"Our department is about to evacuate from the airport, requesting fire support!"
"clear!"
