Chapter 238: Holding the Ground
The battalion commander Li Feixiong rushed to the front, and the Type 48 Mini gun in his hand killed at least five cavalrymen, and he was holding the gun while rushing and shooting, of course, every shot also needed to stop and reload, although it was a front-loading gun, because it was an improved type, the speed of loading had been greatly improved.
After his feet stepped on the sand, the sea water on his body kept flowing down, and with each step forward, there was a feeling of relaxation under his feet, which made his footprints on the beach shallower and shallower, and after he had walked five or six steps, the wind began to grow under his feet, because he saw that the Ottoman army was already retreating, and he wanted to catch up and kill a few more enemies.
The enemy fled faster than a rabbit, and in a blink of an eye, he ran out of the range of the Mini gun, and Li Feixiong gave up the pursuit and ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.
On the coast, as many as three or four hundred horsemen were killed by the Marine Brigade, and they fell on the shore, Li Feixiong asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and he himself used two small red flags to transmit a signal to Sun Dahai in the distance, telling him that he could go ashore.
Li Feixiong got the answer signal from the ship, so he put away the little red flag.
At this time, the commander of the first regiment, Hong Pengju, also landed on the coast, and he came to Li Feixiong and praised: "It is worthy of our battalion commander Li, brave, determined, and dare to fight!" ”
Hong Pengju is the son of a Red Army friend and a general who can fight well.
Li Feixiong was about to be modest, when he suddenly heard a soldier shouting not far away: "There is a living man here, and he is still an official." ”
Hong Peng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
The two came to a few soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and saw a pale-faced guy, already awake from a coma, his right arm was shot by a Minnie gun, and now he was still bleeding, and there was a Minnie bullet embedded in the pointed helmet, this bullet hit his helmet just right, but the range was not enough, and the bullet did not completely penetrate the heavy armor.
Hong Pengju asked the soldiers to help the man take out the bullets on the helmet, and then took off the helmet again, only to see that his forehead was broken by the bullet, if it wasn't for the hardness of his helmet, he would have seen Hades a long time ago.
"Tell the health guard to bandage him!" Hong Pengju ordered.
So, a health soldier came to treat this person's wounds, and after treating his injuries, Hong Pengju asked, "What is your name?" ”
The man shook his head and spread his hands out to indicate that he did not understand.
Hong Pengju didn't bother to ask again, waved his hand, and asked people to watch him up, waiting for the translator to ask.
This was none other than the major commander of the cavalry regiment, Akmund.
The battle of the Marine Brigade ended in a short period of time, with a total of 357 enemy killed and more than 700 escaped.
Sun Dahai ordered the troops to be deployed immediately, believing that the Ottoman Empire would never be willing to lose, and the follow-up men and horses would definitely come.
As expected, as soon as the formation was set, the enemy came. The Marine Brigade was in full array, and even the field artillery was set up, waiting for the enemy to come and die.
Sun Dahai received a telegram from Cao Wenzhao, telling him that two cavalry divisions were already approaching them, and Cao Wenzhao ordered Sun Dahai to command these two cavalry divisions at the same time to take down the enemy's logistics base.
These two cavalry divisions were the 1st and 2nd Mongolian Cavalry Divisions.
The cavalry sent out to reconnoiter came back to report that 30,000 enemies had come out of Lenkoran, mostly infantry.
Sun Dahai's three regiments laid out an arc formation, which made it easy for the Minnie gun to kill and injure a large number of enemies, and at the same time planted a large number of mines in front of the formation.
Mine? That's right, it's mines.
This is the new achievement of Chongwen's disciples, this kind of mine is not very lethal, at most it can hurt the legs and feet, or blow up the eyes, deaf ears, and will not cause death, but its terrifying cluster explosion can create a terrifying scene.
This kind of mine is connected by multiple mines in parallel, and even thousands of mines can explode at the same time within ten minutes. The idea of creating this kind of mine is a swarm explosion, and if you add paprika and lime powder to this mine, it is the most primitive chemical weapon.
Another characteristic of this kind of mine is that it is simple to lay mines, and there is no need for sappers, as long as it is a soldier with some culture, after three days of familiarization, he can take on the task of laying mines.
In the army of Huaxia Kingdom, there are already many Chongwen disciples in the army, especially military academy graduates, almost all of whom have been sent to the front line of combat.
Behind the arc array were one hundred and twenty field guns.
After Sun Dahai asked the Persian fleet to return to transport logistics supplies, he came to Hongpengju's regiment to take a look.
He and Hong Pengju are both from the camp of Shen Yikui, his father is Shen Yikui's general Sun Jiye, and later died in the battle to defend Tiejiao City, and was accepted as a righteous son by Gao Junshan, Hong Pengju is the son of the Red Army friend, which does not need to be introduced, the Red Army friend at the beginning of the army in Gao Jun Mountain, is a firm supporter of Gao Jun Mountain, and it was the Red Army friend who greeted Gao Jun Mountain at the mouth of the Yellow River.
He and Hong Pengju are both small leaders of the child soldiers, so they are iron buddies.
A regiment is arranged at the bottom of the arc, that is, in the center, which is the backbone of the blocking battle, and Sun Dahai specially transferred the reserve to Hong Pengju to strengthen the firepower here.
The two did not have too many words when they met, they had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and they had formed a tacit understanding with each other, and they did not need to use too many words, as long as they could see each other's figures, they would be full of strength.
This is comradeship, a silent mutual support.
"The enemy is coming!"
The soldiers came to report to Sun Dahai. Sun Dahai also heard the war drums of the Ottoman Empire, and he raised his telescope to observe the speed of the enemy's advance.
While Sun Dahai was observing the enemy's situation, the two division commanders of the Mongolian cavalry division came to Sun Da to post.
The commander of the 1st Cavalry Division is called Batu, and the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division is called Battell.
These two divisions were also armed with Mini guns, and Sun Dahai ordered their cavalry to be used as infantry and dismount to join the arc formation.
The enemy's charging formation is getting closer and closer, and Sun Dahai is confused, such a charging formation is completely a product of the era of cold weapons.
He looked at the weapons in the hands of the enemy and sneered even more.
They were formed in a phalanx, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were mostly spears, but there were also archers, axe bearers, and shield bearers, and it was the flintlock muskeviseers who hid behind the shield bearers.
The first to counterattack was the field artillery, and the rumbling sound of the artillery sent one shell after another to the enemy's formation and exploded, causing a great confusion in the enemy's formation. Although the formation was disorganized, these soldiers were also trained, did not stop advancing, continued to crush the minefield, and sang unknown songs.
When the front of the Ottoman army entered the mine array, the mines were detonated, and thousands of mines exploded almost at the same time, and the smoke and dust billowed out of the formation, and the front of the formation was filled with acrid gunsmoke, and the rising black smoke obscured the sky.
Sun Dahai ordered the troops to open fire, and more than 20,000 Mini guns shot blindly into the smoke at the same time, and he couldn't see anyone anyway, so he didn't care if he was dead or alive, just shoot inside.
