Chapter 364: Fierce Artillery Battle
At night, the defense of the Qing army was more stringent, so Luoyang's troops did not have any east longitude, and rested peacefully until dawn, at this time, it was the time when ordinary people were most likely to get tired, so the time for the attack of the Chinese officers and soldiers arrived.
Dozens of flying thunder guns of the artillery regiment, set up under the city, in the darkest hour before dawn, were fully prepared,
The Qing army was in the city, aware of the situation, and immediately cheered up, turned the foreign artillery and other directions, concentrated the attack, and before the Chinese army attacked, the shells fell on their heads.
The violent explosion caused a bright fire, and from time to time Chinese officers and soldiers were hit, killed and wounded,
The whole land was cultivated by the artillery fire of the Qing army, the shocking cannon sound, the terrifying scene of the explosion, covered a large area under the city, hundreds of Qing troops, quickly reinforced the city wall, a large number of new weapons, but also made them emboldened, "Hurry, hurry, the bandits are going to attack the city." ”
"Come on, fight, you must beat the long hair."
The Qing army was brave, but also quite fierce, the dense rain of foreign guns and bullets bombarded the city, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the place, almost choking all the Qing officers and soldiers, and they couldn't bear it.
A guerrilla general of the Qing army, leading several generals, quickly rushed to command the battle, dozens of foreign cannons, became the most terrifying existence,
Luo Yang was furious, he couldn't imagine that the firepower of the Qing army was so fierce,
Without his order, all the Chinese officers and soldiers were not allowed to shoot and fire at will, so the Huaxia army endured the ravages of the enemy and waited quietly for news.
The artillery regiment of the Huaxia Army put all the foreign artillery in a sufficient position, and then, with an order, suddenly counterattacked,
The attack of the Huaxia army is indeed a huge risk, because they are not familiar with the enemy's equipment or anything, so the attack on the front line is a temptation, when the Qing army is proudly bombarding, when laughing, when confidence is bursting, they don't know that they are already in the trap of others,
The foreign artillery unit of the Huaxia Army, in the green gauze tent, has seen the position of the artillery of the Qing army, and the place where the firelight of the mountains and rivers is not the enemy's artillery, when the morning light gradually clears up, those fires are particularly obvious.
The number of artillery of the Chinese army is not much more than that of the enemy, but this is a preemptive move, the war has entered the era of hot weapons, and fire control has become inevitable, so artillery has become the god of war.
Luo Yang personally operated a foreign cannon and aimed at the enemy's artillery position in front, and asked more than two cannons to aim at the enemy's artillery, so as to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop when the battle began.
Almost without any aiming device, Luo Yang was able to trap the enemy's target, which is a talent,
The first target was trapped, and the Qing gunners there were still rampantly proud.
The fierce bombardment suddenly sounded, and Luo Yang's cannon issued an order to attack, and immediately, all the cannons of the Huaxia Army let out a roar that soared into the sky.
At this moment, the Qing army suffered,
In the Qing army, which lacked regular artillery knowledge training, although there were countless cannons, they were attacked by the artillery of the Huaxia Army.
In the roaring explosion, thirty percent of the artillery positions of the Qing army within a kilometer were completely wiped out, the personnel were blown up, the artillery was blown up, and there was almost nothing left.
Luoyang's artillery regiment immediately changed its target and aimed at the new enemy's artillery position, anyway, it was already optimistic about it just now, a few cannons, and hit it tightly, at a distance of more than 800 meters, the Qing army's city artillery was ended,
During the artillery battle here, the Huaxia Army, which arrived in advance under the city, and the artillery of the Flying Thunder Cannon also reacted happily.
Before, they attracted the attention of the enemy, and there were many casualties, but this was relatively speaking, and everyone was very clever to turn over the flying thunder cannon, cover the explosives bag, etc., or, dig an inclined tunnel, save the ammunition,
Because of the dispersion of positions, the losses of the Huaxia army were reduced to a minimum.
When the long-range artillery carried out the bombardment, the flying thunder artillery unit immediately took action, the casualties of the officers and soldiers were quickly replaced, and more infantry rushed out of the hiding place in the green gauze tent, carrying weapons up.
In just five or six minutes, the foreign artillery unit of the Huaxia Army blasted the enemy troops in the city.
Because the artillery shells of the Qing army are piled up in the city, once they are ignited by the explosion, they are all a group of big bombs, because the artillery of the Huaxia Army has implemented collective cooperation, so the accuracy rate is absolutely amazing.
Even if the artillery of the Qing army has not been blown up, the gunners have already blown it up, or blown it away,
Collective cooperation tactics are the most basic tactics, before the advent of precision guidance technology, this is the best attack technology, on the Korean battlefield, in order to combat the so-called joint air force attack led by the United States, China's anti-aircraft artillery has adopted such a predetermined joint artillery airspace method, and has achieved good results, this is common sense, for an artillery veteran, it is not easy,
The flying thunder cannon took over the long-range foreign artillery and became the main force of the attack, only to listen to the roar of the roar, countless explosive packs flew up and hit the city wall, and some of them bombarded from a distance and bombarded into the city wall.
At the time of the bombardment, hundreds of infantry, already carrying ropes, hurried over, threw them at the wall, grabbed the masonry, and immediately climbed,
The foreign artillery stopped firing, but, moving forward, the flying thunder cannon became the main force of the battle,
The Qing army rushed to reinforce the troops, frightened,
"Oh my God, what kind of cannon is this, so powerful."
The crowd of Qing soldiers who had just charged forward was immediately swallowed up by the smoke of the explosion.
The famous imperial history of the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Zhang Zhidong, who was later famous all over the world, came to the scene as a clerk who supervised the war at this time, and was fortunate to see the power of the enemy's heavy artillery.
The overwhelming smoke of gunpowder drove the Qing army far away, and the later Qing army, under the death of the officers, did not dare to move a single step.
Many of the officers themselves, looking at it, turned and fled,
More than 3,000 Qing troops, when they rushed on the city wall, were quickly bombed off half of them, and the remaining half shouted and fled.
It's not that there are no brave people, in the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Army, there is a strong brigade, even cavalry and infantry, desperately rushing to the front, trying to intercept the enemy's assault, because, by chance, they saw that behind the smoke of gunpowder, there were countless Chinese troops on the city wall,
It's a pity that the three flying thunder cannons blew up this group of brave and reckless Qing troops.
In the continuous bombardment, the infantry of the Huaxia army had climbed to the city, and more than 300 people were the vanguard, shooting at the Qing army, and then, along the city wall, charged to the vicinity of the city gate where the complex fortifications were built, and defeated the infantry of the Qing army.
The battle was fierce, and the Qing army was very brave, using foreign guns and bombs to deal with the foreign guns and grenades of the Huaxia army, and they were evenly matched, so half of the Chinese army was killed and wounded, and the goal was temporarily achieved.
Breaking through the city gate is a major benefit, because the flying thunder cannon of the Huaxia army can quickly rush here and transport it to the city.
