Chapter 96: Recoilless Cannon Salvo
The artillery of the Dutch army poured hundreds of shells into the positions of the Huaxia army, and the smoke and dust of the explosion rose into the air, enveloping everything.
Seeing all this, Whitekin waved his hand with satisfaction and ordered: "The infantry begins to attack!" ”
More than 2,000 indigenous soldiers in red uniforms, under the command of white officers, poured towards the Huaxia army position like a rolling red tide in the sea.
"The enemy is coming!"
As soon as the Dutch army moved, the guard post on the side of the Huaxia army notified the soldiers in the anti-artillery fortifications.
Under the command of the officer, the soldiers patted the dust above their heads one after another in the anti-artillery fortifications, held Zhenhua rifles, and quickly entered their positions.
According to the infantry combat drill of the Huaxia Army, the enemy was still placed at a distance of 30 meters before firing.
Although light and heavy machine guns and artillery were not used, the powerful fire volley of Zhenhua rifles still knocked the first wave of charging Dutch troops to the ground.
"How come the shelling has no effect at all? What kind of weapon is this, so fast and so dense with a rate of fire! Whitekin's eyes widened, and when he heard the dense gunfire of the Huaxia army, he was not only surprised that his own artillery bombardment had no effect at all, but also surprised that the enemy's rifle rate of fire was higher than his own single-shot rifle!
At this time, Whitekin suddenly understood what was going on with the disappearance of Lieutenant Colonel Vian, and he quickly made a very decisive decision: "Use all the shells to shell the enemy positions, and then press the whole army and break through the enemy positions!" ”
An officer objected to Whitekin: "Our guys are still there, and the shell will be injured by mistake?" ”
Whitekin said coldly: "I can't care about it so much, if we don't press it with all our strength, it's too late, and our lives will fall here!" ”
"Ahh
The subordinates around Whitekin were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them, could it be that the enemy on the opposite side was really so powerful?
Whitekin pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Immediately carry out the order!" ”
Only then did Whitekin's men realize the seriousness of the problem.
Whitekin, who had experienced the smoke of the thirty-seven years of war, was right at this time: the enemy must have sent a strong man and horse to outflank his back at this time, and it was too late to turn back and break through the encirclement, and now the only way out was to rush through from the front, and perhaps there was still a way out!
Under the strong firepower of the Huaxia army, more than 2,000 Dutch troops were killed and wounded three or four hundred, and before they could retreat, the Dutch artillery opened fire fiercely.
Shells smashed into the positions of the Huaxia army, and many shells also fell into the charging formation of the Dutch army.
The Huaxia army had the cover of trenches and anti-artillery fortifications, and the casualties caused by the shells were limited, but the charging Dutch army was exposed in the field without cover, and a dozen or even dozens of people were killed or wounded when a small-caliber shell exploded.
The Dutch casualties from the shelling were even much greater than the rifle salvos of the Chinese army.
"What's going on?"
"This white Dutchman Whitekin. Bueller is crazy! ”
"He even shelled his own people!"
The staff officers of the headquarters who were watching the battle in the rear began to discuss one after another.
Hu Zhen thought about it deeply, and immediately realized that this could only be a problem: "It's not good, this Whitekin. Bueller has realized that the situation is not good, and he wants to run away immediately! ”
Chief of the General Staff Su Wenzhen also realized the focus of the problem: "Sir, I also judge in this way, he plans to abandon the artillery after firing the shells, and command the whole army to rush over from the frontal position to break through!" ”
Hu Zhen slapped his face and decisively ordered: "Immediately notify Liang Kunri and Chen Qishan's second and fourth detachments to act as fast as possible and outflank the enemy's rear road from behind, Ouyang Yu's five detachments must block the impact of the Dutch army in the front no matter what, now there is no need to hide any weapons, all the weapons are shown to the Dutch, first to knock out the Dutch artillery!" ”
In fact, Ouyang Yu on the front line felt that the situation was not right, and he didn't have to wait for Hu Zhen's order to ask all the artillery of the five detachments to shell the Dutch artillery array, and all the light and heavy machine guns on the position were aimed at the Dutch army and opened fire on all.
In the fierce gunfire, countless shells and bullets poured down on the Dutch army.
The shells exploded in the Dutch artillery array, overturning the artillery, blowing up the human body, and the piles of artillery and ammunition were destroyed.
Light and heavy machine gun bullets rained down on the Dutch crowd, and the Dutch soldiers were beaten to the ground and screamed.
Countless Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared behind the Dutch army, although there was still a long distance, but the roar and footsteps of them rushing towards the Dutch army along the road made the Dutch army feel numb.
In the 37 years he has been in the army, Whitekin has never seen such a fierce artillery fire in most of the world, and he was dumbfounded: "How can this be? How so? My God! What's going on? Why is there such a fierce artillery fire in this world? ”
"General, general, let's quickly abandon these indigenous soldiers and disperse to break through!"
Several young white officers surrounded Whitekin, expecting the veteran man to take them out.
"No, we still have a chance!" After all, Whitekin had decades of combat experience, and he quickly calmed down, and he pointed his hand at the front Huaxia Army position, insisting on his judgment just now: "We must rush through from the front to have a chance to escape!" ”
Under the hoarse command of Whitekin and the white officers, thousands of native soldiers frantically charged toward the Huaxia Army positions.
"It's really fun!"
Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and thousands of rifles of the five detachments of the Huaxia Army opened fire at the same time, spewing out countless tongues of fire, which shrouded the heads of the charging Dutch troops.
The nervousness of the recruits of the Chinese Army all turned into crazy shooting enthusiasm at this moment, shooting and shooting non-stop at the crowd of Dutch soldiers who swarmed.
But Whitekin insisted on rushing out of here, asking the white officers to force the native soldiers to charge to the death.
If it was in the era when there were no machine guns, Whitekin's decision was completely correct, but under the frantic strafing of light and heavy machine guns, the Dutch army could only rush up and die.
With the support of survival, the white officers forced the indigenous soldiers to launch wave after wave of charges fearlessly, but they still gained nothing but leaving piles and piles of corpses.
In many charges, the Dutch finally rushed a few steps away from the Huaxia army's position, but a group of grenades were thrown from the Huaxia army's position, which blew up the Dutch army, and the remnants finally had to quickly retreat.
And the Huaxia army, which was outflanked from behind, was getting closer and closer.
Whitekin only scored to block from behind.
However, the Huaxia army rushing from behind had already prepared, and dozens of recoilless guns rushed up and aimed at the Dutch array with a fierce bombardment, and then scattered and scattered the Dutch army of one or two thousand people.
Whitekin saw the spectacular scene of dozens of recoilless guns firing in a salvo, which made him even more shocked and frightened: "These two-headed fire-breathing weapons? What kind of weapon is this? What kind of evil are we fighting? ”
"General, let's quickly disperse and break through!"
Several more white officers came up and persuaded Whitekin to make a decision quickly.
"Let's go, let's disperse!"
Knowing that this was no longer possible, Whitekin gritted his teeth and made the decision to disperse the white officers and flee for their lives.
