Chapter Ninety-Three: The Battle of Tianjin (6)
After the two warrior cars left the troops, Qiu Yahui led the remaining soldiers and slowly advanced towards the flank of the Eight-Nation Alliance, preparing to attack from the weakness of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but in the process of advancing, Qiu Yahui also kept reminding the soldiers to calm down and not panic.
In fact, at this time, everyone in the reserve team was very nervous, because all of them were on the battlefield for the first time, although some naval soldiers had participated in battles with warships, but at that time, after all, they were sitting in the warship, facing the display screen, operating the computer computer, and pressing a few buttons, and they had never experienced such a battlefield with loaded guns and ammunition. The members of the combat reserve are all composed of retired army soldiers, and they have no actual combat experience, although they all want to fight a real battle on the battlefield, but when they really come to the battlefield, everyone's heart is unconsciously initiated.
And as the gunfire got closer and closer, many people were short of breath, and even the hands holding the guns involuntarily trembled, and their palms were full of sweat, including Fang Bin, the highest-ranking active colonel, who wiped his hands on the camouflage uniform several times.
And in addition to being nervous, the quality of these people is not comparable to that of the combat troops after all, and it is now in the dark of night, so it is inevitable that there will be some movements, but fortunately, at this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition is fighting with all its strength against the blocking troops, and the gunfire is loud, covering up these movements, so that no one notices, and another army has been forced in from their flanks.
Unconsciously, the troops had advanced nearly 1,000 meters, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, and with the help of night vision devices, it could be clearly seen that at a distance of about three or four hundred meters, the figures of the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army were visible.
Qiu Yahui hurriedly raised his hand to signal the whole army to stop advancing, but there was a panting sound around him, and Qiu Yahui knew that this was not physical exhaustion, but psychological tension. However, this kind of nervousness is a common characteristic of soldiers who have just entered the battlefield, and it is not something that can be solved by saying a few words of "don't be nervous" and "relax", and this is how I came over. When the battle started, I forgot about any nervousness.
Therefore, Qiu Yahui didn't bother to say anything, but just said in a low voice: "Everyone is hidden and ready to fight." ”
Fortunately, there are still a few fighters with actual combat experience in the team, and with the help of these soldiers, everyone has already hidden, and at this time, I only heard a burst of intensive gunfire behind the Eight-Nation Alliance, it turned out that two warrior vehicles went around the back of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and used the Type 86 machine gun in the vehicle to strike at the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Eight-Nation Alliance Army was caught off guard, and immediately killed a person, and the team was also a little chaotic.
Seeing this, Qiu Yahui immediately yelled: "Hit, hit hard." ”
As he spoke, he raised the 95 rifle with the grenade launcher already hung up, and first fired a grenade at the Eight-Nation Coalition Army, only to hear a "boom", the grenade fell into the crowd and exploded, killing five or six coalition soldiers in one fell swoop.
The other soldiers also raised their guns to shoot, Fang Bin only felt that his blood was surging, as if he had returned to the years in the army, and suddenly stood up from behind the bunker with a roar, holding a 95 rifle, and launched a fierce shot at the Eight-Nation Alliance.
"Dada-da-da!"
The 95 rifle shot out a tongue of fire, but before Fang Bin's roar ended, he only heard the sound of the gun stop dumbly, and there was a continuous "click" sound, which turned out to be a magazine in a few seconds.
Fang Bin calmed down a little, hurriedly squatted down again, took out a new magazine from his pocket and replaced it, and at this moment, he only heard two consecutive "porphyr" sounds above his head, and a few adobe bricks fell on Fang Bin's helmet, Fang Bin looked up, only to see that the earthen wall where he was hiding had been punched out of two small gaps, if he was still standing at this time, I am afraid that he would not be dead or injured.
However, Fang Bin looked at himself left and right, all the people were shooting at the enemy, and the gunshots still rang out, it turned out that most of them were the same as Fang Bin, they were shooting fiercely at the beginning, forgetting everything. Therefore, Fang Bin also took a deep breath, turned around violently, and continued to shoot at the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, at this time, Fang Bin's situation was much more stable, and instead of desperately strafing like just now, he set up the 95 rifle on the earthen wall, and used a short burst of fire to aim and shoot as much as possible.
But there are not many people who can quickly stabilize the situation like Fang Bin, and many people continue to strafe after running out of magazines, and some people even use up four or five magazines in one go, only to find that they have all the bullets after a while.
It turned out that a Marine Corps soldier was equipped with a base number of 300 bullets, divided into ten magazines, and in battle, the burst mode was rarely used, generally with three bursts of short bursts, otherwise with the rate of 95 rifle fire, it would not take ten minutes to use all ten magazines. And the soldiers of the reserve were only equipped with six magazines each, and firing like this indiscriminately, of course, quickly ran out of all the bullets.
But this also caused a dense attack in a short period of time, which caused tremendous pressure on the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Colonel Bauer, the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, was also a little frightened, originally thinking that it was only the remnants of the Boxers who came to attack Tianjin, but it was just a rabble, and his own more than 400 people were enough to deal with the situation. But he didn't expect that when he walked near Haiguang Temple, he was stubbornly blocked by the enemy, and the enemy's firepower was so strong that it had never been seen before in the battle with the Qing army, not to mention the Boxers who rushed up with their flesh and blood.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than 20 minutes, and the Eight-Nation Alliance Army had killed more than 20 people, although the battle line was advanced by more than 50 meters, but the opponent's resistance was still very fierce, so Bauer also fought more and more frightened, this army is definitely not the Boxers, Bauer is certainly not uninhabited, and immediately thought of the mysterious army that captured Dagukou, so will this army that attacked Tianjin be the same army?
At this moment, first of all, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was hit in the back, because the warrior car was light and flexible, the speed of movement was fast, and the fire of the Type 86 machine gun was also very fierce, so the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was beaten in a daze, and it was impossible to touch the enemy's bottom at all. Before the Eight-Nation Coalition could react, the Eight-Nation Coalition began to fire again from the flank, and this time the firepower was so fierce and dense that it was far better than that of the enemy in front and behind, and the bombs struck like a raging storm, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was killed another 50 or 60 people at once.
Bauer could not help but be surprised, could it be that this enemy army had completely captured the city of Tianjin, and therefore could send a large number of troops to reinforce the battle outside the city.
Thinking of this, Bauer didn't dare to hold on any longer, because the current situation was very clear, and he would definitely not be able to break through the enemy's resistance and reinforce Tianjin City, and if he didn't get it, he would be dumpled by the enemy. And if Tianjin is really lost, then the next target of the enemy army will definitely be the concession area, so at this time it is better to preserve the strength and retreat to the concession to defend, no matter what, the concession must be held first. It turned out that there were still a large number of treasures plundered by the armies of various countries in the concession, and this could not be lost. So Bauer immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and immediately retreat to the concession.
In fact, at this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was under the attack from three sides, and it had already been somewhat unable to support it, and if Bauer had given the order a little later, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army would probably have been defeated, so when Bauer's order was very extreme, the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army immediately retreated one after another and withdrew from the battlefield.
The Eight-Nation Coalition retreated, and the three crossing armies converged, Qiu Yahui did not order the soldiers to pursue, but just let the two warrior chariots pursue the coalition army, because the pursuit of the enemy only caused more casualties to the enemy, and the warrior chariots were fast, easy to move, and had strong firepower, which was most suitable for pursuit. The other soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, counted the losses, counted the spoils, and then immediately withdrew to Tianjin, after all, the main goal of this battle was to take the city of Tianjin.
However, at this moment, Qiu Yahui received news from Tianjin City, Luo Yue had led his troops to capture the east gate of Tianjin City, and now the four gates of Tianjin were under his control. The battlefield is now being cleared in the city.
Finally fully occupied the city of Tianjin, Qiu Yahui was also very happy, and immediately ordered Luo Yue to be stationed at the east gate, and ordered the platoon of the company, which was responsible for blocking the enemy's reinforcements outside the city, to immediately withdraw to Tianjin City and guard the west gate, while the machine gun company stationed at the west gate rushed to the bell and drum tower to garrison. In this way, four marine platoons will hold the four gates of Tianjin City, and other troops will be stationed in the Bell and Drum Towers, and as long as they can control the first floor of these four gates, they can basically hold Tianjin City. As for the Tianjin Concession, it was subject to the orders of the headquarters.
After the deployment of troops, the battlefield was almost cleared, because it was still night, and the corpses were not buried for the time being, but just piled aside, found a cloth to cover, and waited for dawn to find a place to bury them. In addition, more than ten prisoners were captured in this battle, all of whom were injured in the battle just now, and the enemy soldiers who had no time to escape, harvested about 150 rifles, Qiu Yahui immediately recruited back the warrior car, and the team rushed to Tianjin City with the prisoners.
Qiu Yahui and the soldiers of the company have experienced several battles, and they can maintain a calm state of mind at this time, while the reserve troops are all on the battlefield for the first time, and the excitement has not yet passed, and there are also talking and laughing along the way, talking about the battle just now. Discussing their respective performances on the battlefield just now, even if they were embarrassed, they said it without scruples, because they were all Lainiao who had just entered the battlefield, and no one could laugh at anyone. And Colonel Fang Bin hung the 95 gun around his neck, and the situation was also very excited, the expectation of many years has finally been realized, and he can proudly claim to be a veteran of the battlefield in the future.
The troops returned to Tianjin City with a smile and a smile, and the Z-9 helicopter also landed from the sky, and Qiu Yahui immediately informed the command headquarters of the results of the battle through the radio on the helicopter.
