Chapter 106: A Crushing Victory
"Reinforcements? Which reinforcements? How many came? Jiang Beiming grabbed Xu Lang, who ran up to the wall, and asked loudly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Our reinforcements. Han Wantao, Zeng Guangxian, and Zhang Haiquan came, brought an army battalion, and were landing. Xu Lang calmed down a little, "Also, the 58 high machine is also here." ”
"Hahahaha." Jiang Beiming looked up to the sky and laughed, "If the sky doesn't die, I will be a camp." ”
"Everyone, listen to me!" Jiang Beiming's mood changed faster than a child's face, "Don't spare the ammunition, fire with all your might, stop the attack of the Annamite at any cost, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." ”
"Yes." Everyone said yes in unison, turned around and left. Jiang Beiming suddenly stopped Lin Zhaolong, "Lin Zhaolong, except for you, your machine gun can't hit first, save bullets." ”
17 cannons and 300 flintlock pistols kept spitting projectiles in turn, and the corpses of Vietnamese people under the wall were increasing. But waves of Vietnamese people still poured up.
"Beiming, the situation is not quite right." Xu Lang saw something wrong, "Why does the Vietnamese attack seem to be fierce, but I feel that there are not many of them every time." ”
"Shout, my chief of staff, okay, you have a long ability, you can see this?" Jiang Beiming pretended to be surprised.
"Why can't I see what you're saying?"
"Huh." Jiang Beiming said with a smile, "That's right, the Vietnamese are using this wave offensive to consume us, don't forget, in this era, whether it is artillery or muskets, you can only dissipate heat after six or seven rounds at most, otherwise you will have to blow up." We've played four rounds and in two more rounds the real attack will begin. The Vietnamese just have to wait for our firearms to reach the limit. ”
"Do you know their intentions, why are they still fighting desperately? Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to bear it after two more rounds? Xu Lang was a little anxious again.
"What are you anxious about? Do you understand what it means to calculate? Jiang Beiming felt that he should explain clearly to Xu Lang, "Our guns have been tested, and it is no problem to play eight rounds." So I'm going to let them go up and kill them one last time. We have 17 guns and 300 guns, I think Han Wantao and they should have brought at least five or six three-pounder guns, 400 flintlock guns, plus 58 high guns, damn, it's time for Lao Tzu to make a move. ”
Xu Lang slapped Jiang Beiming hard: "You also say that I am bad, sometimes you are worse than me." ”
"That's right." Jiang Beiming remembered something again, "Han Wantao, why haven't they arrived yet?" ”
"Who said we didn't arrive, didn't we come?" Before the words fell, Han Wantao and Zhang Hai walked over one after another.
"You're finally here." Jiang Beiming stepped forward and hugged the two of them one by one, "To make a long story short, how many people came, and how many weapons and equipment did you bring?" ”
"2 gunboats, a battalion of infantry, 430 guns, 6 three-pounder guns, 15 03 rifles, and 58 high engines. The guns have entered the barracks, Zeng Guangxian is still carrying the cannons, the road is too soft to drag, and the 58 high machine is looking for someone to move in. Han Wantao gave a brief introduction to the reinforcements.
"Leave all of your men under my command." Jiang Beiming is in charge, now is not the time to be polite.
"Yes, all at your command." Han Wantao and Zhang Hai stood up at the same time.
"Okay, I'll order." Jiang Beiming came to his senses, "All the infantry went up to the wall and lined up in a three-stage firing formation. 15 03 rifles were divided into 2 groups, occupying 2 corners of the frontal wall and firing from the side. The 58 aircraft were placed at the main entrance of the barracks, the road was paved with hardwood, and as soon as the order was received, the gate was torn down and the machine guns were pushed out. All artillery, loaded with shotguns, is aimed at 100 meters directly ahead. Now all the guns have stopped firing, everyone is in place, ready for everything, and doing what I command. ”
"Yes." The crowd shouted in unison.
The sound of gunfire on the wall of the mixed camp gradually subsided, and finally became silent. When the Vietnamese generals on the high ground in the distance saw this scene, they unconsciously secretly became proud in their hearts: "Come on, the firearms on the opposite side can no longer be fired." Order everyone to rush over in a charging formation, and those who go up the wall first will be promoted to one level, and those who open the city gate will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the officer will be promoted to three levels. ”
The order reached every phalanx, and all the Vietnamese began to be eager to try, the opponent's firearms could no longer be fired, as long as they rushed through the distance of five or six hundred meters, the silver and official positions could be at their fingertips.
An officer raised his big axe high: "Little ones, the general's reward has come down, rush me!" ”
One by one, the phalanx began to slowly roll forward, faster and faster, and by the time they were 200 meters away from the wall, they were no longer in formation. Every Vietnamese was running at an accelerated pace, and the barracks in front of them were not walls and guns, but silver and official positions.
"Dead goods." Seeing the Vietnamese running closer and closer, Jiang Beiming secretly scolded in his heart, "Heralds, all artillery fire!" ”
"Listen to me, fire!" Wang Zhaoxing's command knife fell again.
The 17 cannons erupted flames for the last time, and hundreds of shotguns flew with smoke towards the Vietnamese in front.
"Herald, flintlock fire!"
Three rows of people suddenly stood up on the wall, and more than 700 flintlock pistols were pointed at the Vietnamese under the wall.
"First platoon, fire. Second platoon, fire. Third row, fire! Han Wantao shouted hoarsely.
A total of four rounds of artillery strikes, more than 1,000 projectiles covered the entire area of more than ten meters in front of the wall. The Vietnamese, who had been speeding up just now, suddenly found that there were almost no people in their first three rows, only a piece of corpses and constant wailing.
At first, some people turned around and ran back, but they couldn't run when they were surrounded by people behind them.
The Vietnamese officer raised his axe and slashed down two soldiers who turned around in succession: "Rush over, rush over, their guns can't go off." ”
"Herald, knock down the gates, machine rifle fire!" Jiang Beiming issued the last order.
Lin Zhaolong, who received the order, pulled the 58 high-altitude shooter off the seat: "You get out of the way, Lao Tzu has a good time." ”
There was a "boom", and the gate of the barracks fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, there was a sound from the two corners of the wall that the Vietnamese had never heard before, and 15 03 rifles formed a crossfire and fired at the enemy at a distance of 100 meters.
Lin Zhaolong sat on the Sagittarius seat of the 58 high machine and shouted vigorously: "Left, left; Right, right; Middle, middle! ”
The operator next to him finally couldn't help it: "Company commander, which side is it?" Maybe, not. ”
Lin Zhaolong was enjoying the fight, and he didn't care about the operator's words: "Whichever side has more Vietnamese devils, turn to whichever side." ”
Perhaps in the spirit of demanding officials and asking for money and not for life, the Vietnamese withstood four rounds of flintlock pistols and artillery, but in the face of modern 14.5 mm and 5.8 mm bullets, these Vietnamese were dumbfounded. Everywhere the fire flashed, not only was there no one alive, but not even a complete corpse.
The Vietnamese finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the people in front turned around and started running backwards, and the people behind didn't know what was happening in front of them and continued to rush forward. All the people were squeezed into a lump in the middle, and they couldn't move.
"First platoon, fire. Second platoon, fire. "The 300 flintlock pistols of Zhou Lei's infantry company did not dare to fight again this time, and it was the 430 flintlock pistols of Han Wantao's army battalion that fired.
Another row of people fell, and the Vietnamese in the back finally understood what was happening, and all of them turned backwards and began to run for their lives.
Lin Zhaolong was on the rise, and suddenly the tearing sound of the 58 high-speed machine stopped, replaced by the "click" sound of the bolt hitting the end of the slide rail, and the two 150-round cartridge boxes were empty in Lin Zhaolong's hands in a few minutes.
"Operator, change the magazine!"
"Report sir." A herald ran over in time, "Battalion commander order, stop shooting." ”
"Spoiled." Lin Zhaolong muttered and reluctantly stood up from his seat.
"Platoon commander, we won, we won." A private-class soldier hugged Ye Zhan and jumped and screamed.
"yes, we won." Ye Zhan's face was expressionless, and he quietly looked at the Annan people who were far away, "We finally won." ”
Xu Lang was a little unconvinced of the scene in front of him: "Beiming, did we really win?" ”
"Yes, we really won." Jiang Beiming's heart suddenly swelled with a kind of pathos, "It's not easy to win." ”
The Chinese army's tent was silent again, and Jiang Beiming was reading out the results of the battle: "After two days of fighting, our side lost 35 people, 41 people were seriously wounded, and 78 people were lightly wounded. We had 2 minor injuries ourselves. More than 900 enemies were annihilated and 16 were captured. More than 370 rounds of ammunition for Class 95, 300 rounds of ammunition for 58 high-altitude aircraft, and more than 510 rounds of 03 rifle bullets were consumed. Ladies and gentlemen, a resounding victory. ”
Zeng Guangxian opened his mouth, wanting to speak but didn't.
Xu Lang suddenly asked: "By the way, why did you come so quickly, the flying pigeon passed on received?" I released all 4 pigeons I brought, how many flew back? ”
"Only two flew back." Han Wantao replied, "After we received your flying pigeon summons, the two committees held an emergency meeting.
Without any delay, we immediately pulled in the infantry battalion and the Marine Company and rushed over, all the way at full sail, but fortunately it was not too late. ”
"It's not easy at home." Jiang Beiming saluted everyone, "I, Jiang Beiming, have thanked you again." ”
Han Wantao patted Jiang Beiming: "You played very well." I'll talk about these things later, what should I do next? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea, please refer to it." Before Jiang Beiming could answer, Sun Tianhao spoke first, "We have paid such a big price, we can't just forget it." Now that your army battalion and marine company are here, we will take advantage of the victory and pursue and simply take Vietnam. ”
"Take Vietnam?" Xu Lang felt that no one could understand Sun Tianhao's thoughts, he was afraid last night and had to run away overnight, and today he wants to take Vietnam, "Tianhao, how to take Vietnam?" Is it on our 1,000 or so now, or just on a heavy machine gun? Don't think too simply, the Vietnamese are not soft persimmons at all. ”
"Let's not talk about whether we take Vietnam or not, do you think that if we didn't have the modern weapons of the Marine Company, how much more would our combat effectiveness be compared with the Vietnamese?" Wang Zhaoxing asked on the side.
"I've thought about this question too, at most one to three." Jiang Beiming said, "In other words, our 1,000 people can carry up to 3,000 Vietnamese, and this is still when there is enough ammunition and casualties." ”
Xu Lang's lips were squirming slightly, and Jiang Beiming smiled: "Okay, Xu Lang, you don't have to forget it, Sun Dalei will have to pay at least more than 10,000 taels of silver." However, Sun Tianhao's proposal is not necessarily incompatible. ”
"Really? What are your thoughts? The crowd asked.
"Guys, that's what I think." Jiang Beiming replied, "Based on the fighting situation in the past two days and what I learned in the military academy in my previous life, if you look at it together, this Vietnamese unit should be the strongest fighting force in the entire Vietnam." If I'm right, maybe it's Zheng Jie's personal guards. Although the number of troops left in the north by the Vietnamese may still be quite large, but this time we have defeated his most elite troops, and I think that no one in the whole of Vietnam, at least in the areas controlled by the Trung clan in the north, will dare to fight us. And the Vietnamese don't know at all how many reinforcements we have come, let alone how many more of our follow-up troops will come. The soldiers are not tired of deceit, so we will use dangerous tactics to scare them, and we may have unexpected gains. ”
