Chapter 4585: Fierce battle in town
Although the striker suffered a lot of damage, the remaining Orumi Federal Army was still obsessed with it. After losing the cover of the infantry fighting vehicle, it was continuously fired by machine guns from the rebel army, and it continued to reorganize and repeatedly attacked regardless of casualties The rebel army tried to break into the town, and later even light machine gunners took part in the charge with machine guns.
The uninterrupted fighting lasted for a full two and a half hours, and the Orumi Federal Forces’ offensive was defeated before the position every time, with heavy personnel losses. After five consecutive assaults, their lead forces have killed more than 100 people.
If it hadn't been for the reinforcements of the Orumi Federal Army at this time, these infantry soldiers would have been wiped out. However, the repeated assaults of these leading forces were not without any results, and multiple firepower points of the rebel forces in the forward positions have been exposed. The Orumi Federal Forces who followed up unceremoniously used the BMP-1 tank as the main force to move forward.
The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle equipped with a 73mm 2A28 low-pressure smoothbore gun and a 7.62mm Kalashnikov tank dual-line gun began to show off frequently. The simple bunker of the rebels could not resist such firepower, and had to be forced to retreat from the traffic trench.
"Boss, they broke through the outer positions." Hurry back to report.
"The plan is like this. Put it in first, and then fight. The entrance to the town is narrow, and it won't be so easy for them to get out after their multiple infantry fighting vehicles come in." Lin Rui smiled slightly.
There is another reason why he put these infantry fighting vehicles in, because they have very few anti-tank rocket launchers. The only anti-tank weapon that can be used now is the grenade. He has ordered a batch of RKG-3 anti-tank grenades to be sent to the troops.
This anti-tank grenade is produced by the former Soviet Union. The projectile body is stamped with thin iron. The head of the projectile body is a cylindrical hood, and the slender projectile body can not only reduce the air resistance when throwing, but also ensure the explosion height. The hood and the projectile are riveted together by stamping, and the lower part of the projectile is a hollow charge.
Above the charge is a tapered charge-shaped cover stamped from a thin steel plate. The hollow metal handle at the bottom is the most complicated part of the whole grenade. It contains the parts of the impact fuze, safety mechanism and stabilizer umbrella, which are firmly connected by a threaded sleeve under the projectile. The outer side of the handle is a metal fuse, which is fixed on a lug of the handle through an externally inserted safety pin.
The explosion produces a high-speed metal jet with a depth of up to 170 mm and can penetrate concrete fortifications with a thickness of 500 mm. Although this kind of anti-tank grenade is severely outdated and can't work with the current main battle tanks, it is not a problem to deal with the small crispy skin of the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle.
After all, although the BMP-1 tank has good firepower, its armor thickness is only a pitiful 6 to 26 millimeters. It can barely defend a rifle, even large-caliber machine guns.
As the fighting in Sagunwe town was fierce, the Orumi Federal Forces successively sent strong reinforcements. Because they judged from the situation of the battle, they believed that the insurrection army that dared to set up ambush under the eyes of their main force would never be a small group of obstruction forces. This shows that the main force of the rebel army was not eager to enter the city, but lay in ambush on the outskirts of the city and carried out an ambush.
As a result, reinforcements from other Orumi Federation forces came quickly. By 1pm, except for the Orumi Federation forces that were still on the offensive, a large number of Orumi appeared in the northeast, southwest, and east of Sagunwe. The EFF immediately launched an offensive.
As a result, the situation of the rebels in Sagunwe Town became quite dangerous, and they might be eaten by the Orumi Federal Army.
Lin Rui and the others originally planned to break away from contact with the enemy after severely injuring the enemy's starting troops. Unexpectedly, the Orumi Federation Forces, who wanted to reinforce them, came so fast and had to adjust their deployment immediately. Decided to deal with the enemy for eight hours in the first and second fortifications no matter how strong the enemy’s forces are. The third fortification must persist until dark, and then stand by to break through.
Due to the large number of attacking Orumi Federation forces and their strong combat effectiveness, Lin Rui asked his subordinate companies to make full use of the various fortifications in Sagunwe Town to conduct active and flexible battles. Do not fight, and give full play to the effectiveness of every bullet. To put it bluntly is to try to hold the enemy.
After three o’clock in the afternoon, the Orumi Federal Army had gathered nearly 1,800 troops. After nearly an hour’s violent bombardment by mortars and vehicle-mounted smoothbore guns, they launched simultaneous attacks from the east, west, and south of Sagonwe. .
The first fortification on which the insurgents relied, a short earthen fence, had already been razed by enemy artillery in many places. The Oulu Federation Army relied on its superior firepower and numbers, regardless of casualties, and still approached the position of the rebels.
Responsible for covering the Deanmore prisoners of war troops, once again demonstrated their desperate spirit. Many people simply jumped out of the houses and fortifications, throwing dense grenades at the enemy, and at the same time engaged in fierce exchanges of fire at close range. The fire cover of the Orumi Federal Army was greatly reduced by the two sides' repeated close combat.
However, the newly issued anti-tank grenades were extremely powerful in the melee. Several BMP-1 tanks were blown up or broken down one after another. From 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they repelled the enemy three more charges.
After repeated setbacks in the full-scale offensive, the Orumi Federal Forces changed their strategy. In addition to maintaining the overall pressure on Songzhuang's surrounding positions, they concentrated their superior forces on the southern suburbs, where they were relatively small. The Anmor prisoners of war were stationed here. After a bitter battle in the morning, their ammunition was consumed very much. In addition, most of the bunkers in their positions were destroyed. These Anmor prisoners of war had to move to the courtyard and the roof to continue fighting. .
After the start of the Orumi Federal Army’s offensive, it surpassed the ruins of the wall from the west, and then launched a close-range gunfight with the Anmore prisoners of war who came to intercept. At the same time, its main force quickly launched a charge from the front and finally poured in. The first line of defense.
In the fierce melee fighting, most of the Anmor soldiers who were in charge of garrisoning this position died in the battle. A few people, under the cover of other troops, opened a **** path with grenades, which was regarded as a sudden return to the northern position.
After the fall of the southern suburbs, the northern positions of the insurgents became more isolated. The first and second fortifications were basically destroyed, a lot of ammunition was consumed, and reinforcements from the local troops outside the town were still coming. At this time, the actuary who was in charge of commanding the battle, Jiang Jishi and several other commanders discussed the severe situation to all soldiers.
They make all the necessary mental preparations, and at the same time require everyone to hold their ground under any circumstances until the dark breaks through. At the same time, Lin Rui had personally led the elite mercenaries to deceive the enemy and circumvent the enemy's headquarters. This was their main purpose, the real winner.
