Chapter 69: Array (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
Since the Qing army entered the customs, that is, in the hands of Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, he suffered a big loss and injured more than 1,000 people.
Since then, he has been invincible and invincible. More than 20 Manchu elites, only two people left to kill people ran back, how many Ming army attacks did this encounter? Hundreds? Thousands?
According to the confession of the surrendered Ming army, there is no longer a large-scale army in this area, and Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, has been transferred into the city to guard the capital gate. I heard that there is a Wanping group practice at Lugou Bridge, with thousands of people. Could it be them?
Darha immediately ordered all the bulls to prepare to engage the enemy, and sent other scouts to check on the enemy.
Only then did he ask, "How many Ming ambushes have you encountered?" ”
"Ten, ten people and one car." The way of the detective and the spitter.
Darha is so hung that his nose is crooked! I have more than 20 elite cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, and it is the elite of the elite, the reconnaissance cavalry unit, and it was almost annihilated by ten people, are you kidding?
"Smack!" He whipped the scout in the face and shouted, "What nonsense, you have brought me the truth." ”
"Forehead, it's true!" The detective covered his face and shouted.
Darha looked at the other man again: "What he said is the truth?" ”
"Back to the forehead, every sentence is true!" The other replied.
Darha still felt incredible, and there was a scout in front of him to report that he had found the corpses of his own people, and the Ming army had disappeared.
Darha immediately took someone to check it out. I saw that within twenty paces, there were human corpses and horse corpses scattered everywhere, and a few wounded horses were struggling and wailing underground.
The scene was terrible, with severed limbs and broken arms, broken flesh and intestines everywhere, and blood dripping with blood.
After checking, an Aha ran over and saluted, "E, the slave has checked it just now." Judging from the distance, those men's firearms should be able to shoot through the chain mail from seventy paces away, and they should be extremely powerful. If there really were only ten enemies who could kill more than twenty cavalrymen in twenty paces, then their guns should be very fast. ”
(1.2-1.3m step)
Darha stared fiercely at the two scouts who had returned from fleeing for their lives.
The two men immediately swore an oath that they had not told a lie, and that it was indeed ten men who had ambushed them.
Darha frowned and guessed, "That means that the enemy's weapons are farther than Miru's!" But there are only ten of them, and no matter how fast the charge is, it is impossible for our people to be killed within twenty steps without a single shot! ”
The rate of fire of modern firearms is unimaginable, not to mention the accuracy of rifled guns. Firearms in this era were all probabilistic shots, and long-range shots hit by luck, unless they were fired face-to-face.
The two scouts said, "These people's firecrackers are like firecrackers, and the sound is earth-shattering. ”
At this moment, a Niu Lu Ezhen came over and said, "E, my soldier was walking in front just now, and he did faintly hear the sound of a gun. ”
Darha nodded, and said to the Niu Lu: "Let people clean up here, and you take a Niu Lu out to explore the way." ”
"Wow!" The cow took the order and left.
A team of 300 Niu Lu took the lead, and before he had gone far, he only heard a boom, like a cannon sound, and a big pit was blown up on the ground, killing and wounding more than a dozen people.
This group of Qing soldiers immediately stood guard on both sides of the road, thinking that they would soon be ambushed.
After looking around for a while, he didn't find anyone, so he continued to investigate. After a while, there was another boom, and then another boom.
More than 20 more were killed and wounded.
The frightened Qing army didn't dare to move forward, and only shouted at the cow's anger. After pondering for a while, he ordered the trees by the roadside to be cut down and made into rolling logs for the two men to pull and ride forward.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were also mines, which were geared press-type mines, which were extremely difficult to make and not very powerful, so they were eliminated later.
As groups of rolling logs were dragged across the road, the rumble sounded a few more times.
Cao Shuiming observed with a telescope in front of him, listened to the sound and counted secretly, knowing that all the mines had been exploded.
"All of them, kill those who pull the logs." Cao Shuiming ordered.
As soon as the groups of horsemen pulling the logs saw them, they heard the sound of gunfire, and these horsemen rolled off their horses.
When Darha heard the report, he judged that it was the enemy's ploy to slow down the army. While he sent Pegasus to report the news to Abatai in the large battalion behind, he also sent an additional Niu Lu to the front to support.
Abatai was leading an army of 35,000 men from the West Mountain, and when he received the news from Darha, he couldn't help but feel funny.
Fangshan, Wanping, and even to the south, Gu'an's emptiness and reality, he has inquired clearly from the surrendered troops. In this area, there were only county soldiers and a Wanping regiment training, and the imperial court's economic army all entered the Beijing division to defend.
These people dare to touch their tiger whiskers, it is really beyond their strength. He judged that Wanping's group training might be a little bigger, and newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. As far as the soldiers in the Ming court are so slippery that it is impossible to hit the stone with an egg.
He ordered Darha, ignore the harassment, continue to march towards Fangshan, and watch out for the enemy's ambush.
Shijingshan is fifteen kilometers away from the scheduled battlefield, and the starting point city is seven kilometers away from the battlefield.
When the regimental training troops of the starting point city reached the predetermined battlefield, Darha's forward team had already approached the Qijiazhuang Inspection Division.
As soon as Lu Chengde saw that Cao Shuiming had only run back with a car, he knew that the Tartars were coming, and he immediately fled to the starting point city with the soldiers of the Inspection Division.
Cao Shuiming also had to carry out harassment missions, so he ran faster than armored vehicles.
Not long after running out of the inspection department, he saw that the regimental training troops were preparing to meet the enemy in formation in the distance.
Xindao: These people are really interesting, they know that the horses of the Tartars are fast, and they are afraid that we will not be able to run away, so they have to fight a block to help us buy time.
Wang Yue kept giving orders in the command vehicle, and the battalions arrived at the designated place in accordance with the order and lined up to meet the enemy.
The regimental training units were arranged in a frontal formation up to one kilometer wide, with four armored vehicles in each battalion evenly arranged, and a total of 16 armored vehicles in the four combat battalions.
Between the armored vehicles were arranged four columns of infantry, each company with two heavy machine guns, a total of twenty-four. Counting the 12.7 mm machine guns of the armored vehicles, there were forty heavy machine guns.
In order to increase the density of artillery fire, the mortars of each battalion were under the centralized and unified command of the artillery battalion, with a total of 66 mortars.
The two tanks that the artillery battalion intended to use for the siege of the city were placed in the center and used to crush the enemy during the charge. The tank is equipped with steel ball shells designed to fight infantry, and it has been hit in live ammunition.
The remaining eight armored vehicles of the reconnaissance company were distributed on both flanks to prevent the enemy from making a detour.
Immediately behind the array are four fire trucks, which are used to suppress those who might approach with high-pressure water cannons as the enemy makes a high-density assault on the formation. The fire ladder has been raised, on which there are scouts who can observe enemy movements and report to the command vehicle.
Another role of the fire truck is to provide drinking water to the troops, which is really multi-skilled.
The sixth battalion had more recruits and served as a reserve.
Although the entire regimental training unit had carried out trench digging training, because there was very little time for trench digging training, and the frontal firepower was sufficient this time, Wang Yue gave up the step of digging trenches.
