Chapter 81: The Battle of Tiecheng Mountain (2)

Da Jiaan personally commanded his subordinates to concentrate on shooting at the positions of the Huaxia Army.

After a long fight, several guns exploded due to their poor quality, and more than a dozen soldiers were injured.

Da Jiaan then ordered to stop firing and began to charge at the Huaxia army's position.

However, due to the narrow frontage of the Huaxia Army's position, it could only charge more than 1,000 people at a time at most, which forced the Jacques Army to use refueling tactics and the superior firepower of the Huaxia Army to fight a war of attrition.

"Well, it's our turn to fire soon!" Hu Zhen stretched out his head and took a look, only to see that the natives were rushing up, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Seeing that they had beaten the Huaxia Army's position to a mess, and the Huaxia Army didn't move at all, they all thought in their hearts that the other party's people should die, so they became brisk.

The Huaxia army still followed the old rule and waited for the Jacques army to rush within a distance of thirty meters before launching at the same time.

When Hu Zhen gave the order to shoot, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and recoilless guns suddenly opened fire, and even the sanitary soldiers, who had nothing to do, picked up their pistols and fought fiercely.

How could the Jacques Army expect that the Huaxia Army's position of more than 100 people would have such a strong power?

But in an instant, under the fierce crossfire of the Huaxia army, the blood and flesh of the Jacques army flew sideways, and a large number of soldiers were knocked to the ground.

The Jacques army in front was shot and fell, and those behind heard the dense gunfire and the earth-shattering screams of their colleagues in front, and immediately pulled out their legs and ran behind.

Dagaan saw clearly behind the position, but he was helpless against his own retreat, and just shouted angrily: "Cannon, lift the cannon, bombard them, bombard them!" ”

The Jacques army has cannons, although they are all bronze cannons that can only fire solid cannonballs, but they are also cannons, as long as the Huaxia army on the opposite side is made of meat, solid cannonballs can be smashed to death.

In addition to twenty or thirty cannonballs of solid shells, the Jacques army also had thirty or forty primitive stone throwers, which were also brought in by Dagaan at this time.

"The artillery of the Jacques?" The soldiers of the Huaxia Army saw the movement on the opposite side, and everyone was shocked.

Hu Zhen also saw the heavy weapons of these Jacques troops, and immediately ordered: "The mortars listen to my orders, prepare to open artillery bombardment, and destroy them!" ”

In order to improve the accuracy of shooting, the Jacques army had to move the artillery to a distance of about 1,000 meters before firing and bombarding, and the catapult had to be moved to the range of the rifle to play its role.

At this time, the effective firing range of the 60-mm mortar of the Huaxia Army was about 1,700 meters, far exceeding the maximum range of the solid artillery of the Jacques Army.

But at first, Hu Zhen did not order the artillery to be fired, and only when the Jacques army began to place the artillery position, did he suddenly order the three mortars that had already been aimed and ready to fire at the same time.

At this time, the artillery positions of the Jacques army were full of people, digging foundations, installing cannons, and carrying gunpowder, and they were busy, and the shells of the Chinese army came unexpectedly.

A rumbling explosion sounded, sending up three puffs of smoke and setting off a shock wave of death. The artillery position of the Jacques army is more like a pot of boiling hot porridge, the soldiers flee and flee, and the leader bullets press his subordinates, and the chaos is inextricable.

"Pay attention to the ballistics of each gun position and hit the enemy's propellant vehicles!"

The order arranged by Hu Zhen caused three mortars to hit the ammunition truck of the Jacques army one after another, and the detonation of the ammunition truck further aggravated the confusion of the Jacques army's artillery array.

"Attack, attack now, don't stop no matter how many people die!" Seeing this, Da Jia'an was so angry that he jumped up and desperately ordered the infantry to launch an assault, to use his life to stop the bombardment of his own artillery by the Huaxia army.

The light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and recoilless guns of the Huaxia Army fired several rounds of strafing, and the Jacques army was beaten down in a wave.

But this time, Dagaan was determined to fight hard, and he frantically urged his men to attack.

Wave after wave of fierce charges could only drop batch after batch of corpses, but under the coercion of Dagaan, the charge did not stop for a moment.

At first, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army had to divide what were their own achievements, but later they didn't look at the enemies they had killed, but numbly and mechanically pulled the trigger and opened fire, anyway, they didn't let the enemy rush into the position.

About a hundred meters in front of the Huaxia Army's position, the corpses of the Jacques Army were accumulating more and more, and the smell of blood came to the nostrils, making Hu Zhen cough nonstop, and the other soldiers also wanted to reach out and pinch their noses, but the Jacques Army was still rushing, so they could only endure the fishy smell and continue to shoot fiercely.

Before the dense fire, more people died, and the Yaks finally began to evolve: they learned how to use concealment to approach the positions of the Huaxia army, and used the corpses of their companions as concealment to shoot at the Huaxia army.

However, the Yaks' single-shot rifles and muskets are both weapons that can be reloaded once with one shot, so where is the opponent of the Zhenhua rifle with a fast rate of fire? The shooting is not symbolic, and no one dares to risk death to shoot at the Huaxia army.

However, under the strong pressure of Dagaan and leaders at all levels, a large number of Jacques troops hid behind the corpses of their companions, and did not leave a place a hundred meters in front of the Huaxia army, which made the Huaxia army upset.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Huaxia army terrified most of the Jacques army, and most of them thought that there were too many casualties and wanted to leave.

But Dagaan just didn't agree to retreat.

Dagaan's heart is tenacious and cruel, otherwise he can become the hegemon of Borneo, he fell in love with the sharp weapons of the Huaxia army on the opposite side, he was determined to fight no matter how many people died, and killed a few cronies on the spot who proposed to retreat, forcing everyone to continue the attack.

The two radio stations in the Huaxia Army were constantly calling, and in addition to getting in touch with Tiecheng Mountain, it was also difficult to get in touch with other troops who were advancing rapidly.

He Pingxiong of Tiecheng Mountain was taken aback when he heard that the commander-in-chief had personally led a company to attack, and immediately and decisively led his company and several hundred militiamen to attack. Although the weapons were far more advanced than the Jacques army, due to the small number of people, they were blocked by thousands of Jacques troops and could not rush over to rendezvous.

Perhaps inspired by the infantry's use of the corpses of their companions to cover the Huaxia Army's position, under the compulsion of Dagaan, the Yak artillery finally learned to use hidden objects and mountains such as rocks and trees, pushing heavy artillery to slowly conceal the Huaxia Army's position, and suddenly began to bombard.

The accuracy of the artillery of the Jacques army was very poor, but it also caused a lot of annoyance to the Huaxia army, and there began to be casualties: a soldier who was shooting hit a solid cannonball, and in an instant, it turned into a pool of flesh and blood and water splashing everywhere, and several solid cannonballs hit the debris raised by the mountain rocks, smashing several soldiers.

Zhang Guobing suggested to Hu Zhen again: "Sir, the location of the radio station is a hole made of two large stones, please go there and take shelter for a while!" ”

Hu Zhen didn't believe that his luck would be so bad, so he refused to take refuge in the back: "Take refuge? Do you think I'll be safe by hiding there? The most important thing now is to repel the approach of the Jacques army, so that I can be safe! ”
