Chapter 1031: The Black Rider of the Night Attack
This has just experienced an afternoon of fierce fighting, and in Yang Chendong's opinion, the difficult moment has not yet come, and the darkness before dawn is the most dangerous.
The main tent of the Siamese army, Tong Si is on fire.
In an all-out attack in the afternoon, more than 10,000 people were killed and countless wounded, and most of them were injured by trampling on each other when their soldiers were defeated, a result that he could not accept. After the two battles, he had basically figured out Yang Chendong's strength, less than 10,000 people. But in the afternoon, he sent an army of 80,000 men to launch a fierce attack in four directions, not only did not a single person rush to the barren mountain, did not hurt a single enemy, and his own losses were so great that how could he not make people angry and angry.
After venting his anger, Tong Si was in a much better mood, and he began to learn from his failures, and soon he made two important improvements. One is rewarded, and the other is to establish a supervision brigade.
The heavy reward was also announced in public, and those who captured Yang Chendong alive would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and the official would be promoted to the fifth level; Those who kill Yang Chendong will be rewarded with 8,000 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the fourth level. He believed that this trick must be very effective for ordinary soldiers, after all, once this thing is done, it can change a life.
The inspection brigade is specially prepared for the defeat and escape of soldiers. It's not enough to rely on money to stimulate, you also need to press a lock behind the soldiers who rush out, and once someone retreats, there will be no mercy! In this way, he believed that even if he was tired, less than 10,000 five-star soldiers could die of exhaustion.
Not only these two, but Tong Si also decided to attack in the dark. Although they were not good at night fighting, it was only by taking advantage of the darkness that it was possible to send the remaining twenty pieces of artillery to them. Not only that, but he also mobilized all the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry. The experience of the day told him that the five-star army was superior to the bravery of the cavalry, but they were not without a shortcoming, for example, in terms of numbers, the opponent had a disadvantage.
The number of cavalry of the Five Star Army is limited, and they may be able to block their cavalry offensive in one direction, but what if he blossoms on all sides? The black horseman, whose forces cannot be dispersed, must be dwarfed.
Constantly changing the way of attacking, making all kinds of preparations. Two hours later, a set of attacks that worked in Tongsi's eyes were formulated. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, he mobilized a total of 120,000 troops to prepare for the attack.
"Humph! I don't believe that 120,000 can't beat you, if not, reinforcements will arrive at any time, and I want to see if you are iron-clad. After saying this, Tong Si began to issue attack plans and orders to his subordinates.
The weather in June, even at night, is very hot. The breeze blew, and the smell of fishy smells everywhere on the barren hills. But in this regard, the soldiers of the Five-Star Army slept one by one leaning against the trenches as if they had not heard of it.
A good fighter first learns to rest and learn how to keep himself in the best shape.
"Everyone, pay attention, the enemy's artillery is pushing up." In the silence, the scout on duty noticed something and shouted.
Boom, boom, boom...
Just after the shouting, the cannon rang out, and then a heavy cannon fell on the perimeter of the barren mountain, causing a tremor of the earth, and landed outside the trench, waking all the soldiers from their sleep.
Yang Chendong was also awakened at the moment when the artillery fire fell, and then he felt the throbbing of the white dragon horse beside him. He stretched out his arm and gently stroked the other while listening intently in the direction of the artillery.
As the best soldier king in the past, it can be said that he has been dealing with guns for half his life, and in this regard, he has a sense of vigilance that others do not have. "To the northwest of the direction, mortars are ordered to carry out a counteroffensive."
With experience, after roughly judging the position of the opponent's artillery, Yang Chendong decisively gave the order to counterattack.
Yang Er, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, shouted in a unique loud voice, and then the gunner began to load the shells, and then the cannon was ejected and fell two and a half miles to the northwest.
Boom boom...
The rapid artillery countermeasures of the Five-Star Army blew up the twenty artillery pieces of the Siamese army, and when he saw that the twenty artillery pieces that had only fired a round of shells were blown into scrap metal again, Tong Si jumped up angrily, "Attack, attack, attack on all fronts, kill Yang Chendong, reward and knight." ”
"Kill." At the shouts of Tongsi, 40,000 infantry of the first echelon of the Siamese army in four directions rushed out, and 3,000 cavalry on the first side charged at the same time, and in the dark night, a full-scale attack began.
"Hit, artillery fire, machine gun fire, throw grenades when the enemy is close, and don't let the enemy rush up the barren mountain." Yang Chendong walked out of the trench and shouted loudly. He had already heard the sound of iron horses stomping on the ground from all directions, and he knew very well that this was the opponent's division of troops. Even so, his role in leading the cavalry out was very limited. Moreover, in the dark, the visibility is limited, and the speed of the war horse is so fast, if it really rushes out, the danger will only increase. He simply left his war horse in the trench and walked into the trench with a 95-style in his hand.
According to Yang Chendong's order, the artillery began to counterattack, anyway, there were many enemies, and I didn't know how many enemies would be killed at any landing point. The 95th squad used machine guns without stopping for a moment, constantly spraying tongues of fire, trying their best to crush and blast away the approaching enemy from in front of them.
The guns continued like firecrackers, and the tongues of fire were fired one after another at the enemy's body, and at this moment, human life was the least valuable thing.
But for the Siamese army, which had been prepared for a long time, although there were soldiers falling on the way to charge every moment, the attacking team had no intention of stopping, they still launched an organized charge, and a group of people died and a group of people rushed up.
After going forward one after another, the 5th Army Division on the barren mountain finally appeared invincible, and several Type 95 squad machine guns had to take a short rest because the chamber was too hot. It was on this occasion that the Siamese soldiers rushed up, rushed to the foot of the barren mountain, and then strode into the barren mountain.
"Kill them." The commander of the first regiment, Dang Liming, saw the enemy enter his formation, shouted at his comrades, and at the same time, took out a bayonet from his leg and loaded it on top of the nine types, and then rushed out of the trench first. He wants to use practical actions to tell the enemy that they are not only good at guns, but also good at using knives.
The regimental commander rushed out, and the other soldiers also showed their bayonets one by one, and followed closely behind to rush out to the enemy outside the trench, each soldier with wide eyes and all his strength, according to the training requirements of the assassination, handed a fatal shot to the enemy's chest.
"Grenade cover, suppress the momentum of the enemy's charge." The commander of a battalion who followed behind the regimental commander of Dang Liming, after a shout, drew a grenade from his waist and threw it forward, and at that moment there was a burst of thunder, and a roar sounded around the attacking Siamese soldiers, repelling the momentum of the enemy's attack.
At the same time, Dang Liming had already taken the lead, leading a group of soldiers to kill and retreat after rushing to the front of Siam, regaining the previously lost position. The sound of machine guns, cooled by cold water, rang out again, suppressing the enemy's approach and approach.
I don't know how many times this repeated battle for positions took place throughout the day, until another late night came, and a light rain fell in the sky, which stopped the tide of Siamese attack, and the battlefield became quiet again.
"Clean the battlefield, check the wounds, check the weapons and equipment." Xiao Yining, the commander of the 5th Division, tirelessly walked in the trenches, conveying orders to the soldiers, and when the time came, he would also reach out to help some comrades carry the corpses or make a bandage, etc.
Yang Chendong took a thousand black horses to sit at the highest point of the barren mountain like this. From the beginning of the war to the present, even in the face of the capture of the trenches, they have not made a move, and have been recuperating, because they know that there will be more important tasks for them to complete next.
"Sixth young master, the casualty statistics have come out, after a day and a night of fighting, more than 400 soldiers of our fifth division have been sacrificed, more than 1,000 are seriously injured, and the number of other wounded has reached 5,000." It was almost like crying, for Commander Xiao Yining, this was the biggest sacrifice he had made since he participated in Leng Feng.
Faced with Xiao Yining's bitter complaints, Yang Chendong did not reprimand, nor comforted, just three very simple words, I know, to reply. And after saying these words, he finally got up slowly and patted the white dragon horse beside him gently, "Old man, it's time for us to show our might, are you ready?" ”
Although it was just a war horse, the white dragon seemed to be able to understand Yang Chendong's words, and couldn't help but tilt his neck up as much as he could, followed by a neighing cry. Yang Chendong laughed, "Okay, now that you're ready, then we'll have a big fight." Brothers, are you all ready? ”
"Ready." He was answered by the neat voice of a thousand black horsemen.
Yang Er also stood in the black cavalry team, and after answering this sentence, he took a few steps forward very carefully, "Sixth Master, otherwise you won't participate in this operation, on the battlefield, anything can happen." ”
"No need to persuade again, the soldiers can fight desperately, fearless of everything, I can't pay for it, the matter is decided, we will attack in four parts according to the plan, and the matter will be decided." Yang Chendong had long known what Yang Er was going to say, and before he could speak, he had already spoken out.
One thousand black cavalry was divided into four teams, among which Yang Chendong, Yang Er, Qiu Wu, the captain of the first team, and Dao Xiao, the captain of the second team, each led a team to rush and kill, this was originally a planned thing, how could it be changed at the end of the day.
