Chapter 101: The Battle of Xiangxi (4)
[In the last chapter, I always feel a little bit base (covering my face), and I have to be serious in the future!! 】
Xiao Liangchen observed the other party's position with a telescope over and over again, even if the news from the night did not show that the other party had fallen asleep, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It's so quiet!
Reason told him it was most likely a trap, but even so, he was ready to launch a night attack.
The information that can be obtained by Ye Bushui is too limited, and if you don't compare it, you won't know the true strength of the other party at all.
However, doing so is a little sorry for the old brothers who can't live with the first target.
The next main attack task, the first standard (1st Battalion 233) is completely impossible, and only the current tentative attack or sneak attack can exert some residual heat.
In order to preserve the combat effectiveness of the main attacking force, it can only be marked first.
As for the patrol battalion? If it is really a trap, the patrol battalion will definitely collapse, and if the rout army hits the troops here, the consequences will be unimaginable!
I can't see the situation in the telescope, and now I can only pray that God will give me a chance!
Bang –
There was a gunshot in the distance, and since he didn't react at all, he couldn't see which way the gun was facing, but it was supposed to be the sound of a fast rifle.
Got in fire with the enemy? Or do you want to go off the rails?
Whatever the case may be, now the first bid is going to start attacking!
This situation, although it disrupts the deployment of its own side, also disrupts the deployment of the enemy's side.
If the enemy wants to lay a trap, the situation is more favorable.
If it didn't, it missed out on a best chance to attack, and if it did, it would be too ......
Forget it, put your mind at ease...?!!
A dazzling white light suddenly emitted from the sky, illuminating all the advancing troops on the ground!
And then the gunshots in the distance were like fried beans... No, it was more intense than fried beans, and there were more than a dozen points of gunfire that never stopped!
This is... Heavy machine guns of the Germans!!
He had only seen this kind of weapon at the International Sea and Land Competition, and the imperial court couldn't afford to use this kind of thing due to the lack of bullets... Even the rebels can't afford to use such a thing!
The only ones that can make bullets in China are the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the HB Hanyang Arsenal!
Even the imperial court can't afford it, how can the rebels !!
Xiao Liangchen's eyes were full of bloodshots, as if he wanted to kill the enemy with his eyes!
I'm so jealous! The rate of fire is more than five times faster than the Grimm gun, actually! Actually!!
After holding out for only ten minutes, the troops of the 1st Battalion began to retreat, and they could not rush through at all, this crossfire belt, someone was killed almost every two seconds or so! There's no way to fight!
Jiang Lai, no, I must use this kind of thing when I go back this time! This is Zeren as his co-president! Not even the old stubborn Governor who disagrees!
"But what about this situation now!! Xiao Liangchen couldn't help but have a headache.
The Russo-Japanese War should have been the most recent war, but it was faced with this situation inside... Should the machine-gun positions be covered with artillery fire? But if you can't see anything at night, how is it possible?
No, if it were daytime, such a fierce artillery fire during the day today, just one artillery team, six guns, would definitely be destroyed.
Anyway, take a risk and launch an artillery bombardment at night! If you really can't do it, just learn the tactics of Nogi Noshinori during the Russo-Japanese War when he attacked the fortress of Arthur!
The artillery had already arrived about a kilometer behind an hour earlier, even if the terrain on this side was not easy to handle, but an hour was enough time for them to build an artillery position.
But...... Xiao Liangchen clearly remembered that during the Russo-Japanese War, both the Japanese army and the Russian army dug trenches like the rebels...... He didn't have time to build these things now!
Wait, what if you can break through directly to within a hundred meters under the cover of artillery fire?
It's also too dangerous, the artilleryman will have one negligence and the shells will explode in their own troops......
Moreover, he was not confident that his infantry would be able to cooperate perfectly with the action.
But the enemy has more than 100,000 people, and in this strange position, their weapons are better than those of the officers and soldiers...... If you just rely on a head-to-head battle, you will definitely not have a chance to win!
It has to be a surprise to win!
Xiao Liangchen made up his mind, if he failed this time, his future would be over!
Even if one of his own elite co-op is light, he must win this battle!
Looking at the position that had fallen silent in the distance, Xiao Liangchen licked his dry lips.
This tactic is a bit crazy, but if it succeeds, it must be recorded and written in the textbooks of the military academy.
After waiting for about an hour, he didn't wait for the news of the start of the attack, but Xiao Liangchen's face darkened again.
The first standard has been withdrawn, and the casualties, Xiao Liangchen should have imagined that even if it was (9), it would definitely be very large, but after receiving the news sent by his own soldiers, he still closed his eyes in pain.
A reinforced battalion of more than 900 people, after the previous battle, there were only more than 400 people left!
Everything around was as if nothing had happened, and more than 500 corpses were hidden in the darkness ahead! This was the first time he felt that the war was more cruel than he had imagined, all because the previous enemy was too weak, it was all bandits of hundreds of people, and there were no casualties at all.
The old brothers of the first target, the old standard will avenge you immediately!
Through the dim oil lamp, Xiao Liangchen saw the time on his watch, 1:59.
One minute to go...
As he counted to the last second, a dull voice rang out, not from the front as it had been during the day, but this time it was clearly discernible that it was coming from behind.
Boom –
75mm shells exploded on the opposing positions, all fired at the position of the machine-gun positions calculated by the artillery observers for that hour.
In the telescope, by the light of the explosion of the cannonball, Xiao Liangchen could see some corpses thrown into the air.
Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a happy smile.
That's the pleasure of revenge!
And then there was the constant shelling, ten minutes of non-stop shelling! Ten minutes should be enough to rush to a hundred meters as the second standard of the main attacking force!
By the light of the last few rounds of shelling, Xiao Liangchen even saw the figure that was about to rush to the destination.
Then, the second standard did not live up to Xiao Liangchen's expectations, and more than 1,600 people made a earth-shattering killing sound in front of the enemy's formation!
"Kill—"
The last 100 meters of distance, that is the battle of bayonets and bayonets!
Xiao Liangchen believed that these rebels who had not been trained or had not been trained for a long time would definitely not be the opponents of the soldiers under his command who had practiced these bayonets for an unknown number of times. (Actually, it was because of the lack of ammunition for training, so only bayonets could be practiced)
