"Onboard! Onboard! ”

Under the order of Saito Kijiro, the army assembled a wing of gendarmes and launched a charge, with the first and second brigades respectively towards the Yanji defenders, the left flank and the right flank, respectively, launching attacks, while the third brigade was responsible for the frontal feint, and the entire wing attacked in an inverted triangle shape, a wedge-shaped charge, which is the source of the pig assault tactics.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The barrel of the 76mm gun rose quickly, folding up a touch of icy coldness.

"Load the shells!"

In the sharp whistle, the artillery battalion commanded by Chen Huaitian was loaded with eighteen **76mm guns at the same time, and after the ten-pound shells were stuffed into the barrel, Chen Huaitian and another artillery captain looked at each other and smiled.

"Three-shot proofreading! The first beach on the front river" showed the results of the artillery battalion training, and as soon as the words fell, a row of shells was fired.

Clusters of artillery flames bloomed on the surface of the river, and the picture of the neat and uniform artillery platoon had not yet disappeared from the retina, and the sound of explosions had already sounded all over the Tumen River, and the entire river surface was suddenly tumbled by the bombed river water, driving the mutilated corpses of the army, and the explosion was a mess on one side, and flesh and blood were flying.

"After the three-round proofreading was completed and slightly adjusted, the artillery fired shells at a rate of six rounds per minute at a distance of 1,000 meters, and the landing points of the shells were also very accurate.

In an instant, the "drought thunder" over the Tumen River was rolling! Every shell will set off a huge wave of water, and in just a few minutes, the Tumen River will be covered with dense gunsmoke, and the mutilated corpses will be constantly slapped by the rolling river waves, and the soldiers of the Yue army will be constantly lifted away, and the roar of the explosion will drown out the shouts of the Tumen River soldiers.

This was the first actual combat of the artillery battalion after training, and it had already shown good strength, and at this moment, the firepower of the artillery battalion completely suppressed his own artillery

In front of the bushido of the army, everything is not an obstacle, Saito Jijiro gave an order, the army braved the artillery attack, the army bent over, stepped on the turbulent river, and quickly moved towards the defenders' position, the combat effectiveness of the army was once again displayed, the short army was still able to maintain a fast movement speed on the rough river, and the short stature of the army can be strafed in a small area, so the pig burst tactics are also set up by Nogi Noshinori for himself, short height and accurate shooting.

On the left flank position, the first wing of the army was only 500 meters away from the Yanbian defenders, and under the order of the brigade commander, the army began to disperse to both sides in a regular manner, and quickly charged forward, getting closer and closer to the first shoal where Zhang Xiaozhun was stationed.

The two sides have begun to shoot, Mauser 98 and Golden Hook Rifle for the first time on the battlefield, but at a distance of five hundred meters on both sides, it is difficult for both sides to shoot each other, after a burst of gunfire like fried soybeans, the army dispersed again, at this time the first brigade on the left flank was only four hundred meters away from the position of the first battalion of the guard.

Zhang Xiaozhun felt a huge pressure because of his rapid movement speed, and he encountered this powerful Yue army on the battlefield for the first time.

At this time, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the frontal feint, also fired to the maximum, and the only two Hatch Chase machine guns were fired at full power, giving the 3rd Battalion the maximum fire support and cover to the left flank charge.

The machine gunners showed their skillful shooting skills and overturned the positions that Zhang Xiaozhun had arranged, and the rubble flew indiscriminately, and from time to time soldiers were hit by shrapnel and let out a painful roar.

In the face of such a charge by the Yue army, the artillery battalion also provided the maximum firepower, even reaching a speed of seven shells per minute, and launched a fierce attack on the Yue army on the left flank of the Tumen River.

Three hundred meters, the first brigade of the Yue army on the left flank, in the face of the roaring artillery, continued to charge forward, under the guidance of the brigade leader, the Yue army began to look for cover, lying on the cold water and crawling forward.

The artillery of the army was suppressed and finally fired again, the two sides kept shelling, the real war had just begun, because the artillery on the opposite side knew that 200 meters was about to enter the effective range of the army, so it was necessary to give the maximum fire support to the charging troops, which is also the characteristic of the pig attack tactics, there must be artillery support, once the artillery was suppressed, then the pig attack tactics of the entire Yue army failed, so the Yue army will fire all the only eight artillery pieces, trying to suppress the artillery fire of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side.

The best way to defeat the pig tactics is to suppress the enemy with artillery, so this time He Tianci did not bring a few thousand more soldiers, but brought his precious artillery battalion over, and said that the experiment is the only way to test the truth, then he can only take the little devil to take a look at the weakness of this pig attack tactic.

"Speed up and load me with shells! Suppress the little devil's artillery fire for me" As soon as the words fell, another row of shells shot out.

In the face of powerful artillery fire, the army was unable to move an inch, and the soldiers had begun to fear, and there was no end to the inevitable victory before.

No one thought that the squadron on the opposite side was so tough, a regimental of troops, actually equipped with a battalion of artillery, that is, in the Russian War, in the face of heavy weapons powerful Tsarist Russia, the army did not encounter this situation, I thought that bringing eight 75mm guns was enough to suppress the firepower of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side, in the absence of artillery fire support, the pig tactics were difficult, and the charge at the front of the brigade suffered heavy casualties, Saito Jijiro was furious.

"Baga, the first brigade must break through the right flank position of the ** people and knock out the damn artillery positions of the ** people for me! The other two teams rushed me, and their artillery would not be effective fifty meters ahead, and the time for the samurai of the empire to be loyal to the emperor had come. ”

"Onboard! Onboard! Under Saito's call, the army once again glowed with spirit, once again stepped on the cold river, depressed the center of gravity, and moved swiftly towards the position of the defenders of Yanji, especially the first brigade at this time, the captain rushed to the front, picked up the Jingou rifle and shot at the Chinese soldiers in the trenches opposite, from time to time soldiers were shot, making a painful wail, at this time, the first brigade of the army was only 200 meters away from the position of Zhang Xiaozhun 1st battalion, and had entered the effective range of the army, under the leadership of the captain, As if he saw hope, the army desperately charged forward.

"It's all hiding in the trenches, isn't there a shooting hole, who told you to stand up, you want to be a live target for the little devil!" A veteran of the Russo-Japanese War shouted at the recruits behind him.

"Reload ......!" The machine gunner is a veteran, who has participated in the just-concluded Russo-Japanese War, and has fought little devils and ** people, and these veterans have no fear of foreigners at all.

After the army entered the effective firing range, the only Maxine machine gun of the first battalion began to rotate, and began to spit out long tongues of fire at the theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, driven by huge firepower, the black canvas cartridge belt continued to provide bullets, and the 11.43 mm bullets continued to pass through the body of the army, and the charging army suddenly became a living sieve.

"The third battalion rushed over with me, if the little devil is going to die, help the brothers of the first battalion!" Under the leadership of Shu Houde, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion moved at full speed to support the 1st Battalion stationed in the first shoal to the west, and the 1st Battalion, with a force of 500 men, against a 1,000-strong military police brigade, suffered heavy casualties despite hiding in the trenches on the basis of fortifications.

The 6.8mm Mauser bullet issued by the improved Mauser 98 rifle in Mukden and the 6.5mm bullet of the Golden Hook rifle of the Yue Army, the first time on the battlefield, in the face of thick trenches, there is no heavy weapon support of the Yue Army, there is no way to break through, most of the bullets are hit on the trench, splashing a touch of dust, but the sandbags on it have not moved at all, which is the disadvantage of the 6.5mm bullet of the Yue Army, the warhead is too small, no power, in the face of such a solid fortification, it seems a little stretched.

At this time, the Tumen River was full of the sound of Mauser 98 and Golden Hook Rifle firing, more of the sound of the Maxine machine gun "Da Da Da", accompanied by the full charge of the army, the entire Tumen River battlefield was in a white heat, Wei ** brought ten Maxine machine guns all fired, the Maxine machine guns were so densely placed on the ground by the river, it was simply bad news for himself.

At the same time, the 3rd Brigade of the frontal charge could no longer provide firepower to the 1st Brigade on the left flank, because it was easy to injure its own soldiers by mistake at such a distance, which was also a characteristic of the pig-stud tactic, once the soldiers on both flanks had charged to 150 meters, the frontal feint troops had to stop machine gun fire.

"Da Da Da"

Wei ** machine gunner skillfully showed his training results, a tongue of fire hit the charging army, the speed of 600 bullets per minute is too fast, but the 10 boxes of bullets brought in 10 minutes have been used up half, the army continues to fall, constantly let out a painful roar, the whole Tumen River is full of the corpses of the army, the rolling river carries the corpses of the army to the east, the Tumen River is stained with blood scarlet, from time to time there are corpses of the army floating up.

Compared with the fierceness of the left flank, the second and fourth battalions in the center obviously seemed much more relaxed, only occasionally remembering sporadic gunfire, after all, the direction of the main attack was in the position of the first battalion on the west side, with the arrival of the support of the third battalion, the left flank position with support became more and more courageous, relying on the trench constructed by Zhang Xiaozhun, the soldiers kept pulling the bolt, the improved Mauser 98 rifle, there was no strong recoil, and the power of the 6.8mm pointed bullet was absolutely above the army.

He Tianci looked at the red river and fell into deep thought, it was only an hour, and hundreds of soldiers had already died under the robbery of the Yue army, and he knew that with his flaws and surname, he would definitely launch a large-scale retaliation action, and this war was just the beginning. (To be continued.) )
