Chapter 617: Unilateral Massacre
'......Boom'
The explosion of the grenade was constantly heard, deafening.
What followed was that the people in front of them were turning on their backs, and in the face of grenades, the defenseless Silla army had no way.
Of course, the Tang army had a way to deal with it, but this method was only limited to reducing casualties as much as possible.
But then again, if you want to solve the problem of grenades, you have to abandon the current phalanx, and the Don Army, which has changed to rifles, can do this.
But the Silla Army, which still uses cold weapons, is tantamount to self-destruction.
In the face of hot weapons, the only way out for the cold-weapon army is to rely on the impact of speed, quickly approach the opponent, and then engage in a grappling with the opponent, only in this way can their disadvantage be reversed.
Night fighting is a difficulty facing the armies of the world, whether ancient or modern, no one will choose night fighting unless they are helpless.
But when the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too large, then you can only choose the way of night battle to reduce this gap as much as possible.
The Silla people thought of this, and in the face of numerous defeats on the front line and collapse at the slightest touch, they also began to change their tactics.
Ambush the troops in advance, avoid the search of the other side as much as possible, and then wait until the enemy army has passed, and take advantage of their carelessness to launch an attack at night to maximize the results of the battle.
Or rather, to set fire to the enemy's backyard as much as possible.
But it was clear that the commander on the other side seemed to have something wrong with his brain.
He actually chose such a dazzling place to hide his troops, even if the Tang army was a fool, he would send someone here to take a look.
Moreover, the Tang Army's operations were also done in full accordance with the operational requirements, and there was no carelessness in any link, let alone looking down on the Silla Army.
Psychologically, the Tang army treated the Silla army as an equal opponent to itself, although they did not have this strength.
'Smack! ’
Xue Rengui calmly pulled the trigger, there were too many people on the opposite side, there was no need to aim at all, as long as the muzzle of the gun was not biased, after pulling the trigger, there was almost a probability of hitting the enemy more than ninety percent.
Grenades, which are very good at slowing down the enemy's advance.
In this case, it is often the case that a grenade explodes and a whole enemy is lost, and the other two fighters will quickly take advantage of the opportunity to kill and injure the enemy behind them.
Moreover, Xue Rengui also discovered another situation.
Because of the problem of too close to each other, this also leads to another problem, often pull the trigger, after a bullet is fired, most of the time the sugar gourd can come.
What is a sugar gourd?
If a bullet hits two or more people, it is called a sugar gourd.
The bullet passes through the human body, and the resistance increased dramatically, which will affect the recoil of the bullet, but although the rifle used by the Tang Army, although there are some problems with the range, it is still no problem to penetrate two people at a distance of tens of meters.
Moreover, the other party is afraid......
Yes, the other party is afraid.
Although they were still rushing forward bravely, the speed of the impact had slowed down, and beyond that, even those painful, tangled expressions could be seen on their faces.
If at the beginning, they still had the confidence to defeat the Tang army of more than 50 people, then now, they basically have no hope.
The grenade formed a barrage between them, and at a distance of about fifty or sixty meters, a wall of death was formed, and anyone who wanted to get close to this place had to go through the baptism of the grenade first.
And after crossing this wall of death, it doesn't mean that you are safe.
At this time, there are fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around you, and you are even alone.
And at this time, the Tang army will shoot you accurately, and the Silla army saw the power of the rifle for the first time, they didn't even know how they died, they only heard a loud bang, and then they bled from their bodies, although now that the situation is better, they will not collapse directly as soon as they meet.
But deep down, they are still very afraid, and some people even call the sound of death the sound of the gunshot, and it is the Grim Reaper who is harvesting their lives.
In this way, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.
The Tang Army, which had more than 50 people, was dragging the Silla Army of thousands of people, and the distance between the two sides was being narrowed little by little, but it would soon be reopened by grenades.
The Tang Army, on the other hand, was fighting and retreating, and the formation was still in order, and there were no big loopholes.
The Silla army on the other side is getting more and more chaotic, and its steps are getting heavier and heavier, but this is not the end.
Because behind them, there is also the existence of the Warlord, unless they surrender at this time, if they go back, their lives will definitely not be saved.
Tangled and tangled.
Except for the fact that Xue Rengui was under greater pressure in terms of numbers, there was not much real pressure.
By the way, the number of grenades is also plummeting.
Fifty people want to resist the attack of so many people, and it is certainly impossible and unrealistic to save ammunition.
Without a large number of grenades to support them, most of the enemy troops were wiped out in the first line of defense, and by now, their formation would have been scattered long ago.
Even the Tang Army, which has thermal weapons, can only be defeated with two fists and four hands at this time.
However, the speed of reinforcements from the Tang army was still very fast.
Xue Rengui and the others were retreating towards the flank and rear, and the mountain itself was a little to the right of their area, which also brought them closer to a platoon in the reconnaissance area on the right.
In addition, the support requirements of the Tang Army are extremely high, and after seeing the signal flares, the troops that are not fighting around must rush to support as quickly as possible.
And here, Xue Rengui and the others just evacuated about a thousand meters or so unhurriedly? A platoon of reinforcements arrived behind him.
Although they haven't joined the war group yet, they can clearly see that they are running frantically towards this side.
Of course, that platoon has been running frantically for a distance of about two thousand meters so far, which is not a problem at all for the current Tang Army.
You must know that the ancients walked the world on their feet, and they had to walk wherever they went out, and their foot strength was far from being comparable to that of later generations.
In fact, there is no suspense when the battle is here, although it seems quite ridiculous, but the truth is that you can never imagine what will happen on the battlefield.
For the Tang Army, the battle was too simple, so simple that even they could not believe it.
But for the Silla people, the battle was so difficult that they didn't know where to start, and they couldn't find any hope of victory.
As a neutral, you can never judge whether it is difficult or easy, and only the two parties involved will truly know the difficulty and pain.
It was still so difficult to break through the defenses of a platoon, and now another platoon came, and it could even be encountered, and there were more platoons coming one after another.
So is there any hope for them?
Although the Silla people had not been involved in the battle for a short time, the fear brought to them by the marines in the previous battles was comprehensive.
Moreover, although there is not much difference between the Marine Division and the Seventh Army on the surface, in essence they are completely different troops.
In terms of land warfare, it is obvious that the Seventh Army is stronger, and their firepower configuration and so on are far more powerful than those of the Marine Division, and the combat effectiveness displayed will of course be stronger.
As a matter of fact, Li Yuanji's positioning of the Marine Division is a simple landing operation, opening up a landing field, holding the landing field, and providing security protection for the main force of the army during the landing, and when the army is fully engaged in battle, the Marine Division can retreat.
This is also the reason why, after so many years of development, the scale of the Marine Division is still only five divisions, and the combat use is different, so it is meaningless to ask for so many troops.
As for the Marine Corps used by the US Emperor as a special forces in the later generations, Li Yuanji also wanted to, but he did not have that condition.
When the friendly platoon arrived, Xue Rengui's platoon no longer continued to retreat, two platoons, more than a hundred guns, and almost full of grenades, which could completely support them in positional warfare.
And the Tang Army, which stopped, shot much more accurately than when moving, there is no doubt about it, it is the same for anyone.
And before that, the enemy army who fell under Xue Rengui's platoon grenade and the muzzle of the gun was almost as many as four hundred.
At this time, the number of enemy troops was not more than 1,000, although there were many people, but they did not have any will to fight, and the best enemy to fight was the enemy who was discouraged.
Even, after this battle, Xue Rengui even felt that the Marines had explained to them a bit seriously, and the enemies here were far less shrewd than the Marines said.
Of course, Xue Rengui did not deny the statement of the Marine Division.
Because the reason is very simple, the previous Marine Division had almost defeated the enemy army, and the reason why it did not continue to advance was not that the enemy army was too strong, but that it did not have enough troops to maintain the battle line unaffected, so it could only stop and wait for reinforcements.
Having experienced the previous terrifying battles, it is an individual who will have fear at this time.
All the people who have experienced it know that they can't beat them at all, and they can't get any success at all if they go up to die, and it is very difficult to even kill one of the other party's people.
Bows and arrows can be used, but if they are not on scale, the opposing artillery will be smashed on the head, and a cannonball will come down, which is far more effective than them firing a salvo.
Equipment, tactics, ideology, discipline, national strength, strength, and all-round backwardness, how should this battle be fought?
When the two platoons in the rear also arrived, the Silla army surrendered very shamefully, yes, surrendered.
From the moment the charge was blocked, it was as if they had surrendered, and now that they were surrounded, they surrendered even more brazenly.
Besides, are they considered an army? Wooden spears? Wooden bows and arrows?
The real army is behind the battle, and their target is not the enemy, but their own people.
