"Rush!" Accompanied by the order, the commandos of the Liberation Society rushed straight to the position of the Qing army opposite. The Qing army was divided into platoons and neatly arranged a number of dense firing points on a front. The distance between each combat unit is more than ten meters. Ten meters behind the first front was the machine gun position, and ten meters behind the machine gun position, the Qing troops were squatting together in units of ten, and their rifles were all held flat and facing forward. The political commissar of the combat unit of the medical team, Hitoshi Kuroshima, could see clearly through the binoculars, even though it was a defensive position, such a position looked neatly aligned. It's a bit of a strict flavor.

Next to Hitoshi Kuroshima, the commanders of the medical team's escort all held up their monoculars. They all looked solemn, and everyone knew that not to mention the Liberation Army, even if the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army suddenly launched a charge in the face of such an array, the casualties would definitely not be small. Even the high probability of inflicting heavy casualties could not defeat these Qing forces head-on. Even so, the commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army remained silent. It is absolutely useless to point fingers at the Liberation Society, and at the plenary meeting, Kuroshima asked all comrades of the medical team to never say anything unrelated to medical treatment, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding.

Moreover, the commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army actually had some ideas of their own, and they wanted to see the combat effect of this Qing army array. Even if the guiding ideology of the operation is completely different, no one can guarantee that such a situation will not be encountered in the future. If the BJP has to rush into such a position, how can it achieve maximum results? If they did not see the performance of the Qing army with their own eyes, the commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not count in their hearts.

"Why do the various units of the Qing army line up such a distance?" The low-level commander of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army couldn't help but ask. The distance between the positions of the various units in the BJP's squad and platoon tactics was not so large. A company of more than 200 people can even form a continuous front of more than 200 meters.

"If you don't separate, it's hard to observe, and it's hard to command. This kind of queue that is too neat will definitely be chaotic once it is approached. A middle-level commander replied in a low voice, "So the commanders of our various units are on the front line, and you can see the commanders of the army." ”

In the binoculars, you can clearly see that the commanders of the Qing army are all behind the soldiers. The commander of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army invariably remembered the sniper. In this great reorganization of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, sharpshooters were selected in each platoon. There were snipers in various companies. In battle, they could not be involved in platoon gun fire at the front line, having a small flexibility to fire the enemy commander first. Everyone couldn't help but look at the political commissar Kuroshima Ren, who didn't say anything. Even the telescope was not put down. Other comrades also raised their binoculars and continued to watch the battle.

The 9th Town of the Forces nouvelles was indeed well-trained, and they did not shoot even when the Restoration Army rushed before the enemy came into range. The Liberation Army does not have many bullets, and there is even less queue training, so it is impossible to play what queue marching shooting. They must get close to the enemy before they can attack. Just before they rushed to the predetermined firing area, the roar of artillery was heard from behind the Qing position. The cannonballs streaked through the air with their characteristic high-pitched whistling, blasting clouds of dirt and rubble and smoke on the ground. Although the timing was quite accurate, the landing point of the shells was really not complimentary, and none of the dozen shells hit the offensive queue of the Restoration Society. The impact point division is large. Everyone had seen the ferocious shelling of the British warships yesterday, and the Qing army was too childish to compare it with it.

The actual combat effect of the artillery bombardment was not great, but it caused a lot of psychological pressure on the soldiers of the Liberation Society. Obviously, some are stepping up, others are a little weaker. Before the Liberation Army raised its rifles, the ranks of the Ninth Town of the New Army began to fire at the Liberation Army on the opposite side.

In the smoke of gunpowder and the sound of shooting like popping beans, the Guangfu Army was shot one after another. The soldiers of the Liberation Army, who were not shot, began to fight back without fear. The dense ranks of the Qing army and the scattered light recovery will shoot at each other, and the results will not be seen at all. Already the low-level commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army lowered their binoculars and watched the tragic scene with all their might. In the face of death, these fighters still pull the trigger at the enemy, and then reload their ammunition in the face of flying bullets, trying to shoot at the enemy again. The bullets focused on these fearless warriors, freezing their movements at the moment they were hit by the bullet, or because of the impact of the bullet, they broke down and swept them back. Even so, not a single one fled, on the contrary, some soldiers did not even reload their bullets, and rushed towards the Qing army with a roar, and then fell to the ground by the enemy's fire.

"Fight hard!" The low-level commanders almost felt the same way and couldn't help but shout loudly. Even if the outcome of the death in battle will not be reversed at all, the fighting spirit displayed by the Liberation Society has greatly stimulated these commanders. Even the fighters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, who had fought dozens of battles, large and small, had never experienced such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ours.

No matter how fierce the battle was, the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us had already determined the outcome of this charge. The wounds of these fighters were all frontal, and none of them died from wounds in the back.

"Black Commissar!" Already the commander shouted. At some point, their eyes were already red.

Hitoshi Kuroshima put down his binoculars. His lips twitched slightly, too. The troops that can be sent are quite experienced in combat, and in order to protect the doctors and nurses of the medical team, the troops must be combative. This tragedy made Kuroshima Ren couldn't help but think of the Japanese evaluation of the Chinese army after the First Sino-Japanese War, surrendering, fleeing, and vulnerable. It's impossible to know for sure if it's vulnerable, but what he sees in front of him completely shatters these taunts. Even if it is only the soldiers who have died in front of them, the Chinese soldiers or the soldiers engaged in the war do have bravery, fearlessness, and the spirit and attitude of treating death as home.

If he can't help these real warriors, Kuroshima Ren feels unbearable.

Kuroshima Ren made up his mind, and he walked to Xu Xilin not far away. Xu Xilin's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, and he was commanding his subordinates to make a second charge. The morale of the Restoration Society was not crushed by this blow, on the contrary, the Restoration Society was boiling with a fighting spirit, "It seems that the Manchu forces are here, go around their backs and launch an attack." ”

"Mr. Xu, let's go all the way."

"Mr. Xu, let's face it."

There are people asking for orders all the time. They don't seem to know what kind of life-and-death test such a battle will face, and they just want to stand up and participate in the battle.

Kuroshima Ren lined up everyone in front of Xu Xilin, "Mr. Xu, we want to help manipulate the artillery." Do you think it's okay? ”

In the Battle of Hangzhou, the Restoration Society captured some artillery, but at the beginning of the battle, no artillery knew how to shoot, and even lost a cannon in several test firings. Now only two cannons have been transported, and I have been tinkering for a long time without coming up with a solution.

"You don't need to help, the cannon will be handed over to you, and you won't be able to solve the problem by relying on those people." Xu Xilin didn't care whether Kuroshima Ren was a member of the People's Party or not, and he ordered the herald to lead Kuroshima Ren to the artillery.

The artillery units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army were divided into two teams, one team began to search for artillery positions, and the other began to inspect the artillery. The cannon was actually the Grusen Five-Seven Mountain Cannon. It can be seen that no one has maintained the cannon for a long time. The gun body is cleaner because of the handling, and the dust and rust in the muzzle, as well as the dirt accumulated in various crevices, can prove that the cannon has many problems. The artillerymen of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants dismantled the cannons with their tools. Fortunately, the parts were neither missing nor damaged. It's just that after many shellings, there was no cleaning at all, and the dirt caused many parts to run abnormally.

Before this visit, all branches of the unit were quite well prepared, and all kinds of maintenance and cleaning tools were available. In accordance with the norms of several trainings, the troops began to clean up the artillery. Large and small bristle brushes dipped in oil began to sort out the parts of the cannon, simple rust, descale, wiping, oiling, after a series of processes, the parts of the cannon were reassembled.

In this process, the artillery positions have long been chosen. There is a flat land behind a small hill, which is not very flat, but it is relatively close to the Qing army. After hastily erculating the gun emplacements with sacks, the surveyors had roughly measured the distance. The Wuqi Mountain Cannon was the most captured artillery piece by the People's Party. The troops were extremely skilled in training on weekdays, and Zhu Yuan adjusted it and began the test firing.

The Qing army obviously did not expect that the Guangfu Army also had artillery here, and when the first shell drew a long trajectory and landed in front of the Qing army's position, there were finally some signs of fluctuation on the orderly Qing army's position. Xu Xilin obviously felt this change, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from the comrades who are flanking on both wings?" ”

This time the troops were divided into three lines and prepared to attack at the same time. As much as possible, the Qing army was caught off guard. Now that artillery has created a deterrent to the enemy, there is now the possibility of preparing for an attack.

"No news yet." Someone replied. As he spoke, he heard another muffled sound, followed by the sound of cannonballs whistling in the air. One by one, the comrades of the Liberation Society held their breath and looked at the enemy's position. This time the shells fell directly into the positions of the Qing troops.

"I'm going!" The captain of the observing artillery team suddenly shouted. The shell was impartial and landed exactly in the open space in the middle of the Forces nouvelles troops. Although the explosion caused a lot of dust and smoke, the artillery captain still discovered one thing, that is, why the new army had to line up in formations of about ten meters.

Originally, everyone thought that this layout was to solve the problem of observation horizon and troop movement. Now the artillery captain found that, not to mention the shells of the heavy artillery, the shells of the 57th artillery could not inflict any particularly effective damage on the enemy with a diameter of 10 meters. And the distance between the various dense units of the Qing army was about ten meters. Unless it hits the enemy directly, or the shell is very close to the enemy. Otherwise, it will not be effective in killing the enemy. Watching the shells explode on the position, in fact, the lethal effect is not necessarily much greater than a direct attack with a grenade.

If there are enough guns, there are enough shells, and it is not impossible to cover the mode with firepower. The problem was that there were only two guns with less than fifty shells. God knows how the Restoration Society thinks about artillery. Such an idea of firepower is simply not enough to produce fatal results.

It is clear that the artillery captain of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army somewhat misunderstood the will of the Qing army to fight. When the shells accurately entered the Qing army's position, the artillery captain saw that "it could not effectively constitute a lethal injury". What the Qing army saw was that it was "unable to effectively avoid the shells". It was a stroke of luck that the shell didn't hurt anyone. And what about the next shell? What's next?

At that moment, another sharp whistling was heard in the air. The Qing army was shocked, but then found that it was the artillery on their side that began to bombard, and the target was naturally the opponent's artillery position. It's easy to fire, but the problem is that you can't see where the cannon is placed, so you have to bombard it casually. In the shelling of the Qing army, the shells of the Liberation Society also began to return fire.

At this moment, several fireworks suddenly rose on both sides of the Qing army's position. Here's the signal. The attacking teams on both flanks of the Liberation Society arrived at the agreed place.

Xu Xilin shouted, "Brothers, rush, avenge the brothers!" ”

The death squads of the Guangfu Army did not hesitate at all, and with the order, they rushed to the Qing army position again without hesitation.

The artillerymen of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army also had no way to discuss in detail, "shoot half of the shells." The artillery captain ordered.

The artillery on both sides began to shoot hard, and the Liberation Society was desperate to rush forward, and with a fearless momentum, the Liberation Army was getting closer and closer to the Qing army. Although there were only two guns on the side of the Restoration Society, every shell hit the position of the Qing army, and the Qing army, which had tried its best to maintain strict order, had begun to waver. Many people's muzzles are no longer facing the front, and after subconsciously retracting into the body, the position of the rifle is no longer a matter of concern.

This round of attack soon entered the stage of rifle exchange, and when the dense firing sound sounded again, Xu Xilin stared at the front line with wide eyes.
