Chapter 8 Ambush of the Russian Army
Although Luo Yue led the other fighters to successfully escape the pursuit of the Russian army using the "Hellfire" tactic, and each found a new cover to hide, the Russian soldiers also saw clearly that their enemies were only six or seven people.
Although in the eyes of the Russian soldiers, the enemy's costume is very strange, and the firepower is extremely fierce, and the rifle used can be fired automatically at high speed like the Green Cannon or the Mark Secret Machine Gun, I don't know that this is the army there, obviously it will definitely not be a soldier of the Qing Kingdom. But after all, the number of people is too small, and at this time, the other Russian soldiers in the village have already gathered, reaching sixty or seventy people, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, so seeing that the enemy's firepower is weakened, they take the initiative to retreat, of course, there is no reason not to pursue.
What's more, in the exchange of fire just now, the Russian soldiers have already killed more than 10 people, and four or five people were wounded, and of course the Russian army can't swallow this breath. So the Russian army immediately followed along the avenue, followed by Luo Yue and others, and caught up. And although this group of Russian soldiers belongs to the navy, they are also professional troops after all, and they are definitely not a rabble. In the pursuit, the queue was quickly arranged, and the whole army was lined up into six or seven platoons, each platoon had about ten people, marching together in unison, and taking turns firing to suppress the enemy's firepower.
For a while, the gunfire was endless, and Luo Yue and the others seemed to be really suppressed by the fierce firepower of the Russian army, and they were beaten to the point of escaping, and they didn't even have a chance to take the lead, so the confidence of the Russian army increased greatly and moved forward steadily.
At this time, Luo Yue and the machine gunner Bai Jianshi were hiding behind a huge stone mill, and some bullets hit the stone mill, causing stone chips to splash everywhere, but because the stone mill was very large, the two of them were not damaged at all.
And the two of them also poked their heads out from the side of the stone mill, watching the Russian army's queue advance, Bai Jianshi said: "Platoon leader, this is called queuing to shoot the party, this opportunity is rare." ”
Luo Yue said with a smile: "What is rare, do you think we are still in the 21st century? Now we have just entered the 20th century, and the linear queue is still the mainstream tactic of this era, until the time of World War I, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”
Bai Jianshi stuck out his tongue and said: "Yes, I forgot about this stubble, no wonder this year is all the war of the meat grinder, this is so neatly arranged, a round of strafing, you can kill them all at once, I think it's almost now, you can start fighting." ”
Luo Yue nodded, turned on the intercom, and said, "Fire." As he spoke, he stretched out his rifle from the side of the stone mill, pulled the trigger, and opened fire on the Russian troops.
And Bai Jianshi also set up a machine gun on the stone mill and fired fiercely at the Russian army. The other soldiers who had already been ambushed also opened fire, and for a while, the gunfire on the left and right sides rang out like bursting beans. In one fell swoop, the firepower of the Russian army was completely suppressed.
The Russian army did not expect that the enemy would actually set up an ambush here, because the Eight-Nation Coalition Army has been smooth sailing since it landed at Dagukou on June 17 and conquered Tianjin on July 10, and at this time the main army has entered Beijing, and in the area around Tianjin, there is no resistance at all, and the sea control has been completely controlled by the Eight-Nation Alliance, so it is stationed in Tianjin. The soldiers of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in the area around Dagukou were very relaxed and had little vigilance, otherwise there would not have been such a force of 70 or 80 men who had traveled more than 30 kilometers to loot.
Just now, the Russian army was attacked by Luo Yue, and I thought it was just the sporadic resistance of some remnants of the Qing army, and I didn't expect that what I encountered was an organized and purposeful army, although the number was not large, but it was well-trained, although the actual combat experience was slightly insufficient, but it had advanced weapons that far exceeded this era, so the Russian army was suddenly beaten in rows and fell to the ground.
The other Russian soldiers were beaten at the same time, only to feel that there were gunshots, bullets flying all over the sky, dense as raindrops, and I don't know how many enemies are in ambush, and even who the enemy is, and at this time, even if a few Russian soldiers still want to shoot back, but they are shooting indiscriminately, and they will soon be shot intensively.
In just over a minute, the Russian army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the remaining Russian soldiers dared to carry it hard, and they turned around and ran.
Luo Yue immediately jumped out from behind the stone mill, and while chasing, he raised his gun to shoot, and shot two short shots in a row, both of which hit the fleeing Russian soldiers. At this time, the other fighters also came out from behind the bunker and pursued the Russian army.
The Type 95 rifle is the first small-caliber rifle of the Chinese army, which is designed with a supportless structure, which is light and flexible, and can be used in various harsh environments. However, due to the high alignment of the Type 95 rifle, it is not suitable for hiding behind cover to fight positional warfare, so it is more convenient to use a standing position to shoot in a mobile warfare, and it is more convenient to use when running and shooting. Moreover, due to the use of small-caliber shells, the recoil of the gun shot is small, the power characteristics of the whole gun are stable, the overall layout is reasonable, the vibration of the gun is very small when shooting, and the accuracy of single and point points has reached a high level. Therefore, although they were shooting in motion, the hit rate was not much worse than just now, and the fleeing Russian soldiers were hit and fell to the ground one after another.
However, after all, the number of Russian soldiers was large, and they were not surrounded, so in the end, more than a dozen Russian soldiers escaped from the village, and Luo Yue and others were not familiar with the terrain in this area after all, so they did not chase them out of the village, but only drove the Russian army away, so forget it.
In fact, the whole battle did not last long, and it was only more than ten minutes before and after, Luo Yue and his soldiers defeated three times the number of Russian troops, not only saved the village, but also did not have a single casualty, only three soldiers were wiped by flying stone shrapnel, and the losses were almost negligible. Although the results of the battle have not yet been counted, there are at least 50 or 60 Russian soldiers killed or wounded, and such results are achieved because of the superiority in weapons on the one hand, and the serious and strict arrangement of tactics on the other hand.
And the fighters were very excited, not only to win the battle, but more importantly, although the scale of the battle was not large, it was indeed a real battle. Because in another time and space, China is in a stage of peaceful development, and there has been no real war for decades, although there are also some anti-terrorism, escort and other operations, and there have also been some battles, such as this evacuation, Luo Yue and they have had a firefight with the terrorists, but it can only be regarded as an ordinary conflict, not a battlefield. For the first time in their lives, the vast majority of soldiers shot bullets into the enemy's body.
Being able to live in an era of peace is, of course, a happy thing, but for soldiers, it is impossible not to leave some regrets, because the vast majority of soldiers, who are fighters of combat units, are eager to experience the smoke and flames of war, so being able to participate in a real battle has also become the greatest expectation of soldiers. But no one thought that this wish would come true in this time and space.
Although the battle was over, the excitement of the soldiers did not stop, and they talked to each other about their performance in the battle just now, almost being shot, killing several Russian soldiers, and so on.
However, after all, Luo Yue is a platoon commander, or more calm than ordinary soldiers, after the battle, Luo Yue immediately ordered the first squad to pay the responsibility and vigilance, the second and third squads to clean up the battlefield, check the results, and call He Xing, He Ping brothers, and Luo Yue himself immediately reported to the Yueyang ship that Ji Yi defeated the Russian army, and asked for the order of the next move.
After receiving the good news, the brothers He Xing and He Ping hurriedly returned to the village, and after seeing Luo Yue, they thanked Luo Yue again and again, Luo Yue said: "You go home first to see, we are still a little late, the Russian army has been making trouble in the village for a while, and I don't know what the situation is at home, you go back quickly, if the family is fine, come to us, and there are things to help you two." ”
In fact, the brothers He Xing and He Ping were worried about the old lady at home, and they were also anxious to go back to have a look, so after listening to Luo Yue's words, they immediately said goodbye to Luo Yue and hurried to their home.
After the brothers He Xing and He Ping left, Liu Tie, the leader of the first squad, came to Luo Yue with two soldiers and said: "Platoon commander, the results of the battle have been counted, we have killed a total of 43 Russian soldiers and captured 12 people, all of whom were wounded by us, of which five Russian soldiers were seriously injured, and some soldiers were giving them emergency treatment, and 42 Russian rifles, two pistols, 45 bayonets, and a number of bullets were captured. There were also sixty-eight silver nuggets or silver dollars recovered from the Russian army, as well as some rubles. ”
Luo Yue said with a smile: "More than forty rifles have been captured, and the gains in this battle are not small." ”
Zhang Hai, a soldier who came with Liu Tie, held a captured Russian rifle and said, "Platoon commander, you see this is an authentic Mosin-Ganna 1891 rifle." As he spoke, he pulled the bolt of the gun and made an aiming motion.
Luo Yue was also very interested, although he was not a gun enthusiast, but after all, he was a professional soldier, and of course he knew the reputation of the Mosin-Nagant rifle.
The Mosin-Nagant rifle is an infantry standard weapon of the Tsarist Russian army and the Soviet Red Army in the mid-to-early twentieth century, because this rifle is a combination of the design of the Russian Mosin and the Belgian Ganner brothers, so it is called the Mosin-Nagant rifle. In the development of rifles, the Mosin-Nagant rifle does have a place, with more than 50 years of service and a total production of more than 17 million units. It was not until the advent of the AK-47 assault rifle, a famous gun, that it was gradually replaced.
Although compared with other rifles of the same era, such as the Mauser rifle series and the Lee Enfield rifle series, the Mosin-Nagant rifle has a more complex bolt design, and the overall handling feel of the eye is more clumsy. But the advantages of the Mosin-Nagant rifle are that it is easy to produce and use, simple and reliable - this is also a characteristic feature of Russian-made weapons. It is extremely important for countries and armies with a low industrial base and low level of education of soldiers, so the Mosin-Nagant rifle is widely used not only in the Soviet Union / Russia, but also in China, Finland, Hungary, Poland, North Korea and a number of other countries. In almost every war of the mid-to-early 20th century, the Mosin-Nagant rifle can be seen.
Although the Mosin-Nagant rifle has been completely retired from active service in another time and space, until the 21st century, the Mosin-Nagant rifle is still a popular gun model among civilian gun enthusiasts and collectors, and can also be found on the shooting range or for hunting purposes, so it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is a classic gun.
So Luo Yue also took the Mosin-Nagant rifle from Zhang Hai's hand and watched it carefully.
