Chapter 215: Liu Qilin's helplessness
With Liu Xulei's order, the soldiers of the capture army moved quickly, and in less than half a cigarette, they entered the attack position one after another, the headquarters machine gun company was responsible for the left flank, and Liu Xulei's own machine gun company and the guard company were responsible for the right flank.
Compared with the tens of thousands of Ming and Qing armies who were in a fierce confrontation, the 300 or so new recruits were inconspicuous no matter how they looked at it, even the strange camouflage uniforms and tactical vests, Kevlar helmets, and various weapons in their hands were also covered up in the smoke and dust.
Therefore, the Qing army on the opposite side did not realize the danger, the artillery was still firing in an orderly manner, and the cavalry was also holding long knives and screaming, waiting for the moment when the Ming army collapsed.
However, only Liu Xulei knows best in his heart that today, the end of these Qing troops has arrived!
His 300 people, not to mention the various skills of the guard company, the soldiers' strict and orderly military appearance and military discipline, agile and resolute tactical movements, calm and serious expressions are not mentioned, just talking about firepower, those two machine gun companies, planing out the cooking squad, a total of eighteen combat squads, with thirty-six machine guns, eighteen mortars, plus four "Javelin" missiles, this is not counting the carbines in the hands of the ammunition men......
With such anti-heavenly firepower, in the face of this era, the army equipped with basic medieval equipment, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, it is no exaggeration to say that one enemy will never dare to say, and one enemy will not be a thousand.
If the second head of the regiment, Liu Xulei, is replaced by Duan Zhenghong, maybe he will dare to sweep the world with 5,000 people!
The sound of dense explosions first sounded from the artillery formation of the Qing army, and after two rounds of salvo fire, the dozens of field guns in the Qing army's formation that had just flaunted their might were wiped out along with the flesh and blood of the artillery men.
Immediately, a series of black dots roared towards the cavalry group, and the barrage of more than a dozen machine guns also poured away like raindrops......
The ensuing battle process was similar to the elimination of the Jin Li Army, with the extension of the artillery fire, the charge horn sounded, the whole guard company attacked, and more than 100 people swept through the enemy formation while riding horses......
Chen Tai's entire 5,000 main cavalry with yellow flags, completely exposed to the range of machine guns, was stupefied by this long-range firearm that was ahead of its time at the beginning, and in the blink of an eye, it was beaten to the ground and collapsed, with a casualty rate of more than sixty percent.
By the time the guards rushed up, they were already full of lambs waiting to be slaughtered who were not like people and ghosts.
The remaining thousands of foot soldiers didn't even have time to escape, and as Liu Qilin's cavalry swarmed up, the entire battlefield became the flesh and blood of the Qing army in an instant......
The battle on the left flank was similar, with a slight difference that it was all the Ming army who took on the charge task, and the remnants of the green battalion who were frightened and crawled with a roll were squeezed down the Gan River by their own people on the narrow river bank, no less than 100 people......
Chen Tai, who was standing at the head of the city, witnessed the panorama of the battle, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, he was already deaf, and his ears resounded with illusory ghostly sounds, and his eyes were foggy, as if there were hazy ghosts like dust and smoke standing in front of him......
It didn't matter who the newcomers were, for, he knew, he wouldn't survive tonight.
He had heard of Lin Xiao's captive army, and today, he finally witnessed this mysterious army that was a hundred times more fierce than the rumors.
It turns out that it is possible to kill people so efficiently!
At this moment, Chen Tai felt that he had no love in life, and death was liberation, and not dying was even more painful.
The only regret in his heart was to lament the fate of their Manchurians.
His Manchus, his emperor, no matter how much effort and how much killing, were just a small step away from becoming famous and becoming the masters of China, ruling and enslaving hundreds of millions of people with hundreds of thousands of people......
However, after all, God will not bless me!
Han people, why are they so lucky, are they really a people who are protected by the gods?
……
The battle outside the city soon ended, and a large number of Ming troops gathered outside the moat at the south gate, and Liu Xulei's mortar shells and machine gun bullets were fired continuously at the head of the city.
The sound of return fire at the head of the city gradually disappeared, and Liu Xulei turned his head to Liu Qilin and said, "Are you ready?" ”
In the city of Nanchang, there is no smoke rushing to the sky, it seems that the Qing army has been defeated, and it has not had time to burn military food and materials to destroy, without further ado, the city must be attacked immediately, and they cannot be allowed to react.
"Ready general, the whole army can attack at any time!"
Liu Qilin retracted his admiring gaze, paused heavily, and responded with a fist.
"Good! Fire! ”
A fighter, who had long been prepared in a kneeling position, gently pulled the trigger of the "Javelin" portable anti-tank missile on his shoulder......
"Boom!"
Everyone present witnessed that a 126mm caliber missile, dragging a long tail flame, drew a bewitching and charming whirling arc, flew rapidly towards the gate of Nanchang City, and drilled into the city gate hole......
This scene should only be in heaven......
This is the first time that Lin Xiao's captive army has used this kind of weapon far ahead of its time!
Lin Xiao had a death order, except for the siege, it was absolutely not allowed to be used!
This thing is too expensive to use!
In fact, only later generations of soldiers, such as Lin Xiao and Liu Xulei, knew how expensive this missile was, not counting the launchers, the cost of each missile alone exceeded 50,000 US dollars, and its highest export price even exceeded 200,000 US dollars each.
If this thing can be exchanged for money and things, Lin Xiao would rather exchange it for food, how many people can be fed with just one piece!
"It's really a knife to kill chickens......"
Liu Xulei gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.
Attacking the city with this kind of weapon, he is also distressed, blasting open this kind of city gate, only a much cheaper bazooka or direct-fire cannon can be used, but how can there be, the fighter plane is fleeting, and he is not allowed to rub it......
A violent explosion sounded, the bright light and smoke gradually dissipated, and the two heavy city gates were completely gone.
"All of you!"
The city gate opened, Liu Qilin gave an order, the war drums sounded, and nearly 10,000 cavalry and foot soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, rushing forward......
……
When Liu Xulei entered the city with artillery, the battle was basically over, the city walls were full of Ming troops, and the remnants of the enemy were being wiped out everywhere in the city.
In fact, there was no big battle, Chen Tai had already killed himself, and more than ten personal soldiers who were trembling and guarding him were all killed.
Of the more than 2,000 Qing soldiers who stayed in the city, only a few resisted stubbornly, and most of the rest gathered more than 1,000 people who had just escaped by luck, carrying thousands of people who did not know the truth, and had already left the north gate, leaving the people on the boat and fleeing, and the Ming army that pursued to the river had no boats, so they had to give up.
More people stayed in the city, but they were unharmed, not because the Qing army showed mercy, but because the situation changed too quickly to be killed.
Nanchang City has experienced a massacre, these more than 100,000 people, they specially kept for drive, full of people, need someone to serve.
"Let's go, go to the government office."
After getting out of the city, Liu Xulei took dozens of soldiers of the guard company and went straight to the palace......
The Qing army fled, and the puppet prefect must have either died or fled, and the top priority at the moment is to find the small officials of the government and ask them for the yellow book of the whole city (the roster used by the government to register the people in the Ming Dynasty, author's note), with the guidance of these local snakes, we can start to pacify the people and stabilize the order in the city as quickly as possible.
There are so many corpses inside and outside the city, it is necessary to organize people to deal with them as soon as possible, and after the army enters the city, some food also needs to be purchased from the people, and these works are inseparable from the support of the people.
