Chapter 234: A Tooth for a Tooth
After a few rounds of shelling, the originally imposing Qing cavalry was beaten with more than half of them killed and wounded, and had lost the momentum of the attack.
Amin saw this scene in the rear and shook his horse in shock, the cavalry is a strategic mobile force in the Qing army, like the sharpest teeth of the Qing army, but it was broken by others in front of his eyes, and his heart really began to bleed.
It's just that he hesitated, and there were less than 5,000 cavalry left in the more than 15,000 Qing cavalry.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army had been disabled, in order to prevent the Qing army from being frightened away, Wang Yue ordered the whole army to press up and advance to the position of the Qing army.
The armored vehicles in the front row of the Tiance Army were the first to advance, and the soldiers attacked and advanced under the leadership of commanders at all levels.
More than a hundred armored vehicles marched slowly in a line, followed by infantry with automatic rifles.
The cavalry failed too quickly, and it was almost annihilated in a blink of an eye, which was also why Amin had never fought with such an army and could not adapt to such a fast pace. So he was completely confused and a little overwhelmed.
As soon as the Tiance Army moved, he finally reacted: "Quick, blow the trumpet quickly, let them withdraw!" Amin shouted heartbreakingly.
The sound of the trumpet sounded again.
The three or four thousand cavalrymen who had slipped through the net and were struggling under artillery fire on the front position immediately circled their horses and scrambled for their lives.
The advancing Tiance army did not hesitate to shoot bullets at their backs, and the Qing cavalry that finally fled back to the starting position was less than 3,000 left, which was actually inflicted in just a quarter of an hour.
By the time the Celestial Army had advanced to the edge of the battlefield strewn with corpses, the artillery had stopped firing.
The armored vehicles crushed the corpses of the Qing army and continued to advance, and the infantry then stepped into the bloody Shura field, and the recruits endured the discomfort and continued to advance with the encouragement of the veterans.
Looking at the remnants of the army who had fled for their lives, Amin had lost its arrogance. Like a gambler who has lost all his chips, he roared with red eyes: "Ming Dog is here!" Push all the cannons over for me and give me a hard bang! ”
In this attack on Namhansan Fortress, Amin did bring a lot of artillery.
He saw clearly in the battle just now, the only thing that could threaten the enemy on his side was artillery, and as for the bow and arrow, he still didn't think about it, and he couldn't rush within the range at all.
The enemy's firearms are sharp, long-range, powerful, and fast beyond their imagination. Bows and arrows are not as far as other people's firearms, and artillery is not as dense as others.
He has fought for decades, and in any situation, he can immediately think of ways to deal with it, minimize losses, and maximize the results.
It's a pity that in the face of an army like the Tiance Army, he can't think of an effective strategy to defeat the enemy at all. Seeing that the enemy was pressing up, all he thought of was to use his artillery to inflict effective damage on the enemy and avenge the revenge just now.
Sixty Franc machines and nearly 100 Huzun guns were quickly pushed to the front of the battle, and these artillery of the Qing army also fought hard. They also saw in the battle just now, the cavalry was too miserable, and they had to fight violence with violence, and return a tooth for a tooth, so that the Ming army would suffer.
It's a pity that their efforts were in vain, the Tiance army had not yet advanced to the range of the Franc machine, and the artillery had already determined the artillery position of the Qing army through drones.
More than 100 mortars quickly adjusted their shelling according to the data provided by the observers. With the order of Wang Haokun, the commander of the artillery regiment, the shells fired from 144 mortars were overwhelmingly smashed into the artillery of the Qing army.
Continuous explosions sounded on the artillery positions of the Qing army, and shrunnel flew everywhere, harvesting the lives of the Qing artillerymen.
"Minggou's artillery is so far and so accurate!"
Amin looked at the Qing artillerymen struggling in disbelief, and a deep sense of horror and fear finally rose in his heart.
He was far away just now, and now that the artillery was slaughtered in front of his own formation, he had a deeper understanding of the range and power of the Ming artillery.
After a few breaths, the second round of shells burst into the air, followed by a third. The Qing army's Franc machine gun was blown up, the sports car was blown apart, and all kinds of small cannons were also blown up in the air and then fell down fiercely, and finally a few loud noises, the gunpowder car of the Qing army was also detonated, and the power of the explosion almost leveled the artillery position of the Qing army.
Wang Yue watched the fireworks feast through drones and high-powered telescopes.
Seeing that the line of more than 100 armored vehicles was approaching less than 500 meters away from the Qing army's main formation, he ordered: "Blow the trumpet, attack at full speed, and the artillery will block the shelling." ”
The loud trumpet sounded, and when the trumpet was heard, the armored vehicles that were slowly advancing suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the enemy position like a wave, and then the artillery immediately adjusted the shelling parameters and prepared to block the enemy's retreat.
When these armored vehicles were slowly advancing, most of the Qing troops thought that this was a kind of car propelled by manpower, but they did not expect to suddenly accelerate and run quite fast.
From the sound of the Ming army's trumpet and the Ming army's infantry also accelerated with the chariot, Amin knew that this was the Ming army's clarion call.
Instead of thinking about running away, he shouted, "Come on, warriors of the Qing Dynasty, rush up and kill them for me." ”
If these Ming troops were in strict formation, relying on the range of guns and artillery, he really couldn't do anything with the Ming army, since the Ming army rushed up, it was time for hand-to-hand combat, which was exactly what he wanted.
The vast horn sounded, and more than 30,000 Qing troops brandished swords and spears and shouted and rushed towards the Tiance army, they wanted to completely overwhelm the Tiance army with their numbers.
The reason why Wang Yue took the initiative to attack was because the current strength was not as good as last year. He was worried that the enemy would be frightened and flee, so the whole army pressed up, shortened the distance with the enemy, and created conditions for the total annihilation of Amin's army.
didn't think about the Tiance Army's active attack, and Amin saw it as an opportunity to fight hand-to-hand.
Wang Yue did not expect that the Qing army would follow the horn and press on the entire line of his attacking troops.
"Order all armored vehicles to stop advancing in place, line up to shoot, all soldiers advance to the front line of armored vehicles to concentrate fire on the enemy, and order the artillery to change tactics and immediately shell the enemy's large formation."
He was to make a barrier with dense fire and hit the enemy in the rear with artillery.
The orderly immediately used the car radio to convey the order, and in order to achieve the goal of being like an arm and finger in the attack, all the intercom radios of the attacking troops have been unified into one channel. Therefore, the order was conveyed only once, and the platoon level of the attacking unit was immediately received.
The rapidly advancing armored vehicle immediately stopped, the on-board machine gun spewed out tongues of fire, and the lagging vehicles successively kept up with other vehicles in the firing, which was a tactical maneuver often done in training.
