Chapter 6: The total annihilation of the Japanese front
The icy cold wind kept blowing, making people feel cold, but Liu Jun's palms were now full of cold sweat.
He has no bottom, not to mention his first time fighting, and he is also leading a group of peasants who have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood.
If these peasants had a digging competition with the Japanese army, Liu Jun guaranteed that they would win, and they were not arrogant now they were not digging the soil, they were desperate, and the bet was more than 20,000 lives in Lushun.
Liu Jun, who was crawling inside the trench and pointed out that his head was exposed, turned his head to look at the soldiers around him, everyone was like him, exposing their heads and guns, many soldiers didn't know whether they were nervous and scared or the weather was cold, and they were constantly chattering.
Liu Jun was very worried, these people might not be able to turn around and run back after a while, after all, this kind of thing was commonplace in the army of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the newly formed ragtag army.
In order to prevent accidents, Liu Jun called Cheng Lin and asked him to draw out twenty soldiers to form a supervising team, and he had only one request for Zhong Lin: "If anyone dares to retreat for a while, they will be killed directly." ”
Although Zhong Lin is giggling on weekdays, but veterans are veterans, knowing the seriousness of this kind of thing, on the battlefield, a deserter may lose a war, after all, everyone is afraid of death, if someone takes the lead, then more people will turn around and run.
He didn't say that Liu Jun was too ruthless as usual, but nodded and said, "Head, don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately, if anyone dares to run today, Lao Tzu will go back and kill his whole family." ”
Seeing that Cheng Lin had molested more than 20 people and arranged to run over, Liu Jun's heart was a little relieved.
Time passed little by little, and Liu Jun's eyes stared at the corner of the road below, where was blocked by the mountain, and he couldn't see the situation inside.
Ten minutes or so is like a year for Liu Jun, taking a few deep breaths, Liu Jun suppressed the feeling of his heart beating faster.
At the corner, the figure of the Japanese soldier finally appeared, and the first Japanese soldier carried the sun flag and walked in front, and then one two or three
Seeing the appearance of the Japanese army, Liu Jun's originally nervous heart actually calmed down now, and he just quietly looked at the group of Japanese soldiers who were marching in a column of four.
"Head, in front of this are the Japanese infantry, behind are more than a hundred cavalry, artillery is in the back, there are five field guns, it looks like they were snatched from outside, and the last to follow is the baggage, there are more than a dozen carriages.
Zhong Lin kept whispering to Liu Jun to introduce everything.
Zhong Lin is really the material that dares to investigate, and the introduction is not bad at all. Looking at the way the Japanese army marched, they didn't think that there would be an ambush for the Qing army to fight them, and the two sharp knife squads were not dispatched.
The current military uniform of the Japanese army is still black, not the earthy yellow that came later. With a black military uniform, a white strap, and a large black cap, it looks like the birth of coal digging. In the middle of the procession, several people were riding a few black horses, slowly advancing.
Liu Jun estimated that the one in front was at least the commander of the Japanese army, because the other horseback riders were a little behind. And the brigade cavalry was still behind.
Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, this idiom Liu Jun understands, he spat and aimed the gun in his hand at the Japanese officer.
However, Liu Jun has no confidence, his only gun is to shoot targets during military training, and it is very unfortunate that all the five bullets missed the target, and he almost killed the instructor who reported the target. Thinking about such a long distance, Liu Jun still survived, and asked Zhong Lin who was lying next to him softly, "How is your marksmanship?" ”
Zhong Lin was very surprised, he looked incredulous: "I scolded you so weird now, I feel like a different person, I Zhong Lin's marksmanship you know, it wasn't me who participated in the competition that time, anything about two hundred meters can shoot accurately." ”
Liu Jun made a few small noises to hide his embarrassment, and then immediately changed the topic: "Seeing that the person who got the white horse, you wait until he enters the ambush circle, you come and shoot the first shot, you must kill him for me, your gun is the signal, I will inform Zhang Yi and the rest of the people." ”
Zhong Lin stretched out his neck to take a look, saw the target, and moved the muzzle of the gun at an angle: "No problem, look at me." ”
When Liu Jun saw that this problem was solved, he immediately called the two guards who followed him to crawl to inform the artillerymen. Gunshots rang out.
In a team of more than 400 people, the big head had already walked in front of Liu Jun, and the tail had not yet completely walked out of the corner. The Japanese army is powerful cavalry, Liu Jun wants to take it by surprise, first kill the more than 100 cavalry of the Japanese army, as for the rest, the marksmanship is not good, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to fight bayonets. Isn't it just a group fight, I have more people than you, I occupy a good terrain, and I don't have a conscience cannon, there is no reason why I can't cross your black skin.
With a bang, Zhong Lin fired, and the first defense of Lushun began.
Liu Jun was startled by the sound of the gunshot, it turned out that the sound of the Mauser gun was so loud, he looked at Zhong Lin next to him, and saw that Zhong Lin was calmly exiting the cartridge case and loading the bullet.
The gunshots rang out, and the guards' communication was in place, and in an instant, the whole mountain rang out with the sound of Mauser gunfire.
Only then did Liu Jun notice that the commander of the Japanese army who was awesome just now was no longer on horseback, and there was only one horse left, and the ranks of the Japanese troops below were already in chaos, and they were trying to start a formation on the side of this narrow road. The cavalry of the Japanese army bore the brunt of the attack and was the target of severe blows. I saw that many cavalrymen fell off their horses screaming, and those who did not die were trampled to death by the horses' hooves.
However, the troops of more than 600 people, all of them put two rounds of guns, and the cavalry Hongwang infantry of the fallen Japanese army was less than forty of them, which shows how pitiful Liu Jun is now, but fortunately, no one has run yet, and it is fortunate in misfortune.
Boom, a terrifying thunderclap, followed by a cloud of flames and thick smoke. The conscienceless cannon that has been on the west side has fired.
The sound was so loud that Liu Jun felt the earth tremble, and the naked eye could see that the explosive bag was smashing towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers.
And then there was a loud roar. The voice was much louder than just now, and Liu Jun felt his ears buzzing.
When the explosion sounded, many Japanese soldiers went to the sky for free for the first time, which can be regarded as opening up the dream of human beings to fly, but the price is a little sad, and they can't live when they go up and down.
Looking at the place of the explosion, there was a huge gap in the Japanese troops who had just been crowded together. The person is gone.
The bombardment of more than a dozen unconscionable guns was no worse than the 305-mm main guns of the Dingyuan ship, and the Japanese cavalry and horses were disturbed and kept running around, where could they still organize an effective defense. After the first attack of the conscienceless cannon, it will stop for a period of time and reload ammunition, during this time, it will be a real killing, but what makes Liu Jun feel strange is that neither side fired a shot, and it is estimated that they were frightened by the scene just now. Looking back, who said no, many soldiers squatted there and kept vomiting.
With a snap, something wet hit Liu Jun's face, and Liu Jun pulled it down with his hand to take a look. "Phew, that's disgusting." Then he threw this thing far away, and it turned out to be a intestine of the Japanese army.
Zhong Lin also stopped shooting, looked at the place where the explosion just now and the smoke that had not yet dispersed, and asked in surprise: "Head, what did you do with the shore defense artillery?" ”
"Nope. That thing is so heavy, we can't move it," seeing Zhong Lin still don't shoot, Liu Jun scolded: "Why the hell, you don't shoot yet." ”
With this reminder, Zhong Lin started shooting again. There was a stumbling on the hill and I remembered the sound of gunshots, followed by a squire, it is estimated that all the squires who should have vomited have been vomited, and those who did not vomit might as well have fun killing the Japanese army.
The Japanese finally launched a counterattack. Groups of Japanese soldiers were running towards the hill under the leadership of some officers.
The Japanese army who reacted, of course, had a better marksmanship than Liu Jun's people, which was caught off guard just now, and now it was the turn of the Japanese army to be arrogant.
From time to time, people were shot and fell into the pit. The people next to him may fall to the ground and wail incessantly. The sound was no different from a ghost's scream.
"Mom," one soldier crawled up. Turn around and run to the back.
Liu Jun's worst fear still appeared, the man was like crazy, and he ran behind with a shout, but the team was very responsible, and he was beaten to death on the ground after just two steps: "Whoever dares to run is the end." A thunderous voice rang out.
The peasants of the Qing Dynasty were obedient to this, and when they heard that they would die, they didn't run away, and the speed of firing their guns was not much slower than just now. Some even threw away their guns and crouched in the pit holding their heads.
This recruit is originally this virtue when he goes to the battlefield, and it will be fine after a while, Liu Jun deserves to be resigned to fate. He didn't think that these people would fight the Japanese army without fear of death.
"Get up, get up and shoot quickly, everyone will die when the Japanese army comes up." The veteran kept scolding and tugging at the crouched recruit.
With a roar, the conscienceless cannon was reloaded again, and it let out an earth-shattering roar.
The shells exploded again in the Japanese army, and there were a lot of blank areas, and on the road at the foot of the second mountain, there were many Japanese soldiers who did not get up at all, and they didn't know what was going on, anyway, there were at least 100 people lying there on the ground.
This time, the Japanese army braved the interception and attack of unconscionable artillery, and this time, after losing most of its troops, the Japanese army still did not stop attacking, but rushed towards the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the Japanese army had reached a place less than a hundred meters in front of them. A cold sweat broke out on Liu Jun's head, and there were at least more than 200 Japanese troops rushing up. There were also some cavalrymen who weren't ready to die.
However, the closer the distance, the more accurate the bullets, and many Japanese soldiers were shot and fell on the land attacked. Liu Jun's people did not take advantage either, and from time to time someone fell.
