Chapter 45: Fierce Battle of Ocean Mountain

Wang Cheng took a battalion of more than 600 people, directly into the mountains, all the way in the direction of Dayang Mountain, about an hour on the mountain trail, Wang Cheng took the battalion soldiers to the bottom of Dayang Mountain.

The security regiment arranged the artillery at the foot of the Dayang Mountain, and used the commanding height of the Dayang Mountain as the artillery to guide the target, and the shells were shot out from the V-shaped pocket in the mountains, and the position can be described as extremely covered, and most of the shells were blocked by the mountains on both sides of the V-shape, no wonder the artillery of the new army would be blown up in the fire.

Not far from these guns, there was a defensive position.

Looking at the fortifications of the security regiment under Dayang Mountain, Wang Cheng didn't feel anything unusual, just a few trenches and some barbed wire, and observed through the telescope for about five minutes.

Wang Cheng saw that the number of people in the trench was only about 100 people at most (the team in the Beiyang New Army was a company-level establishment), and he couldn't help but feel a wave of eagerness in his heart, capturing the position in front of him and grabbing those artillery, but it was a great achievement.

Wang Cheng didn't think about it, and immediately ordered an attack.

Seven hundred meters away!

Six hundred Qing troops rushed forward.

The defense of Dayangshan was a company, the 24th company of the second-line troops, armed with Springfield rifles, but a reinforced company with a machine-gun platoon.

Company commander Xu Haicheng was also observing the Qing army through the telescope, and saw that it was only a Qing army of five or six hundred people, and he reported to the headquarters with a walkie-talkie in a hurry.

Xu Haicheng reported the situation, and the order given by the command was just two words - keep it well, obviously not worried.

"Snipers, don't snipe officers first, don't shoot machine guns first, and then shoot when you get closer." Xu Chenghai instructed each platoon, and after Xu Chenghai's order was issued, each platoon suppressed its excitement and looked at the rushing Qing army like a hungry wolf.

No one was timid, and good training and sophisticated equipment had created strong confidence in the soldiers, and at the same time, they also carried some immature national beliefs, which made them very active in fighting the Qing army.

A few days ago, the camp also showed them a military education film, a military education film that introduced the combat effectiveness of the Qing army. The soldiers of the security regiment have watched many military education films, such as snipers, machine gunners, artillery, trenches and other things, and often show them to them, which has improved the combat awareness and vision of the soldiers in the security regiment, which has an illiteracy rate of nearly 90%.

At the same time, the instructor told them that fighting the Qing army was no different from fighting bandits, and that they should just fight in the same way as they usually trained.

The Qing army, which was marching towards the position of the 24th Company, felt very strange, because there was no movement on the position there.

600 meters...... 500 meters...... 400 meters......

Xu Haicheng calculated the distance, thinking that since this group of Qing soldiers came, then don't think about leaving. It's not that he is too confident, but he feels that the Qing army is too mentally retarded, what age is this, and he still uses the tactics of intensive charge.

The era of charge tactics has ended after the appearance of the Maxim machine gun, and now Westerners have gradually realized this, but they have not fully realized it before the outbreak of World War I, not to mention that the military theory of the Qing army is relatively backward, so naturally it will not use skirmisher tactics.

Three hundred meters!

to the barbed wire.

"Hit!" Xu Haicheng shouted, and the five heavy machine guns in the machine gun platoon opened fire suddenly, and three more heavy machine guns were placed behind for replacement.

As soon as the five machine guns fired, they immediately formed a net of death fire, and bullets were splashed at the Qing soldiers from different angles.

Sneer......

The sound of bullets hitting the ** filled the mountains, and the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front of the barbed wire were beaten to the point of flesh and blood, and the bullets from different angles instantly gave the Qing army a big slim down, like a terrifying harvesting machine, so that the Qing army suffered heavy casualties.

The Fujian New Army is a provisional type, so there are no heavy machine guns. Except for the six towns of Beiyang, none of the other new troops had heavy machine guns.

As soon as the machine gun fired, snipers and infantry also opened fire at the same time.

Wang Cheng held a light machine fast gun, and when he saw the soldiers around him fall, he couldn't help but redden, and the light machine fast gun (Madsen light machine gun) in his hand swept wildly at the opposite side, and the reason why Wang Chen was able to rise to the pipe belt was because he dared to fight and fight, and he would not die on the battlefield.

The sniper of the 24th Company on the opposite side suddenly saw a man wearing a Qing military uniform, sweeping there with a strange gun, although the gun was not recognized, but the firepower was extremely fierce, so that the brothers on the side did not dare to take the head.

Madsen light machine gun, a kind of light machine gun with the surname can be excellent, invented very early, very light weight, very powerful, is an extremely excellent light machine gun, in World War II are considered to be excellent individual weapons, after World War II in local conflicts can often see its figure.

The reason why Madsen is so good is mainly because of its high production cost, which belongs to the type that looks at quality and does not look at cost.

The Guangdong Arsenal once copied it, but the Madsen in Wang Cheng's hand was not an imitation, but an authentic foreign product.

Scold......

A gunshot rang out, and the sniper of the 24th Company accurately hit Wang Cheng's forehead with the M1 Garand sniper rifle, and the sniper couldn't help grinning when he saw that he had hit his forehead.

Wang Cheng's death was extremely tragic, as soon as his head was blown into a ball of paste by the sniper, the machine gun swept over, and his entire body was swept in two.

The 600 Qing soldiers were directly beaten, when they were about to turn around and flee in horror, but it was impossible to escape, the heavy machine gun has an effective range of 1000 meters, although it may not be able to hit 1000 meters away, but this 700 meters distance, it is destined to be impossible to rush.

The Qing troops fell one after another, and in the end, scattered Qing troops were left to run wildly in the mountains, and the 24th Company immediately sounded the trumpet of the charge.

The infantry rushed out of the trenches and pursued the Qing army all the way.

The 24th Company only chased a few hundred meters away, shooting the fleeing Qing soldiers to the ground, and in less than three minutes, all the Qing soldiers were shot to the ground.

At the end of the battle, the 24th Company immediately began to return to the trench and hastily cleaned up the battlefield, and no one was even injured in this battle.

And a battalion of the Qing army was wiped out.

Not far away, the artillery company witnessed the whole battle, and this kind of low-intensity battle did not need their artillery support at all, because there were not many shells, the artillery company did not fire again after destroying the artillery of the Qing army.

……

Sun Daoren was waiting for good news on the river beach, the artillery of the security regiment over there might be out of ammunition or something, anyway, there was no sound.

But what makes Sun Daoren impatient is that why hasn't Wang Cheng heard back yet?

――――

Xiaocai has recently caught a cold and fire, and the snot has been flowing, and the state is very poor, plus there are not many manuscripts, and the update speed can only be reduced, and according to the normal speed of the public version, Xiaocai is considered to be speeding.

But today I went to get an injection, and I took medicine and drank syrup (bitter, said), and my state has improved greatly, and three chapters are indispensable today!

In addition, thank you again for the reward from your 12 comrades!
