Chapter 669: Tentative Attack

When the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry swept outside the city of Tongliao, nearly 4,000 soldiers of the 23rd and 2nd regiments of the 1st Division of the First Army did not count into the position, standing in the trench, holding rifles, facing the Outer Mongolian cavalry several hundred meters away, ready to shoot at any time.

A lieutenant general beside the cavalry commander just glanced at the position of the Liaodong Army and said with contempt: "My lord, the Liaodong Army is simply sending people to death. On the field battlefield, there is a long snake formation to block our cavalry, and I really doubt that the commander of the Liaodong Army has seen cavalry. ”

The commander frowned and retorted: "Don't underestimate the enemy too much, the long snake formation really can't stop us from attacking with all our might." Don't forget, there are also a lot of light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the Liaodong Army. Don't wait until the Liaodong Army breaks through the defensive line, and our 5,000 cavalry will lose about the same, so the gain will outweigh the loss. ”

The adjutant general immediately raised the binoculars and looked, and soon, the solemn expression that the adjutant general had just revealed was covered with ease and mockery, and analyzed to the commander: "The Liaodong Army is indeed equipped with dozens of light and heavy machine guns, but they are too scattered, and there is no way to concentrate the firepower. If these light and heavy machine guns are used together, they may still be effective. ”

The worried look on the Commander's face was finally gone.

He commanded to the adjutant general: "Well said, since there is such a good opportunity in front of us, then we will make good use of this opportunity to take the defense line of the Liaodong Army in one go and eat all the troops they have placed outside the city." ”

Arrogant to arrogant, the commander was not so confused that he really pressed all his five thousand elites at once.

No one knows whether the defense line of the Liaodong Army in front of them, in addition to what everyone sees, still hides strength that everyone can't see.

A thousand-man team of 1,000 cavalry was taken as a touchstone by the commander, lined up in the most classic triangle attack formation of cavalry, holding a saber, and slaughtered the Liaodong Army defense line. ”

The former chief of staff of the First Division of the Liaodong Army, and now the commander of the First Division, saw a thousand Mongolian cavalry rushing over, and subconsciously wanted the famous capture troops to shoot with all their strength and eat the thousand Mongolian cavalry rushing in front of the formation.

Fortunately, the chief of staff stopped him at this time: "Division commander, don't be impulsive, forget the army commander's repeated explanations." Unless the main force of the Mongol cavalry is on board, we must not use the light and heavy machine guns that we have hidden. Otherwise, you can scare all the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry away, and you don't want to let go of the main Mongolian cavalry for a momentary pleasure. ”

Xu Hai slapped his head and replied, "I almost made a mistake." The commanders of all battalions at high speed, using the available firepower, will make an all-out counterattack, and must keep the enemy 50 meters in front of the formation. ”

More than 30 light and heavy machine guns seem to be a lot, and after being dispersed to a nearly two-kilometer defensive line, it is only seventy or eighty meters apart that one can be divided.

As soon as they fired, they inflicted a lot of losses on their opponents in that instant, and nearly 100 Mongolian cavalry were knocked to the ground by bullets.

However, the more than 30 tongues of fire were too scattered, and as soon as the cavalry who was suddenly attacked reacted, they lay on the back of the horse tightly, and controlled the war horse under the crotch to change the route as much as possible and rushed forward, and the damage caused by the more than 30 tongues of fire to the cavalry was much smaller.

When the cavalry rushed to 200 meters in front of the formation, there were more than 700 cavalry on the battlefield desperately rushing to the position.

"All the riflemen shoot, shoot the people and shoot the horses first, and they all shoot at the war horses for me, and overturn these cavalry!" The battalion commander, scattered along the defensive line, ordered almost simultaneously.

A volley of guns rang out, and nearly 4,000 rifle bullets immediately formed an impenetrable network of bullets in front of the formation.

In this round of bullet nets hit a few times, no matter how the war horses under the crotch of the cavalry evaded, the more than 100 war horses that rushed to the front did not escape the fate of being killed.

Seeing that the rifle salvo was effective, and that it was more effective than the machine gun, the rifleman who had finished firing the rifle quickly unloaded the rifle, reloaded a bullet, and continued to shoot after simply aiming.

Three seconds later, a new platoon of gunfire rang out on the battlefield, and the dense bullets once again knocked over hundreds of Mongol cavalry.

However, two or three seconds is for a cavalry that charges quickly, and it is easy to rush through fifty meters.

After the riflemen fired three rounds in a row, the cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the position.

What's more, there were nearly 400 Mongolian cavalry with sabers raised in front of the battle.

"Keep shooting, increase the output of firepower, and shoot all the weapons that can shoot bullets." Everyone on the battlefield was aware of the crisis of the battle situation, especially the battalion commanders, who raised their guns and prepared to shoot while shouting orders.

As soon as the cavalry rushed into range of the pistol, they would shoot all the bullets in the pistol as soon as possible.

When the fourth round of rifle fire rang out on the battlefield, the cavalry, which had lost more than 100 men again, had already rushed to fifty meters in front of the formation.

Nearly 100 pistols equipped by all officers above the platoon level in the two regiments opened fire quickly, instantly firing a bullet at them in close proximity.

Because the cavalry was already very close to the defensive line, and the closer they were rushing, the power of nearly a hundred pistols fired together was no less than nearly four thousand rifles at the same time.

After more than a hundred more people were knocked over by bullets, the riflemen finally had a chance to fire the last round of bullets.

Shots rang out, and most of the Mongol cavalry, which had less than two hundred men left, was knocked over by bullets and fell to the ground.

But there were still forty or fifty Mongolian cavalrymen, raising their sabers, and slaughtered into the positions of the Liaodong Army.

The sword fell, a flash of sword flashed, and the gap in the defense line was broken by dozens of Mongolian cavalry, and the corpse fell to the ground in an instant.

The Liaodong Army, which was closest to the gap, was shocked when they saw that their former comrades-in-arms were separated in an instant, and their faces subconsciously showed a panicked expression.

Fortunately, many officers were not frightened at this time.

Immediately ordered the light machine gun shooter, who was convenient to transfer, to quickly mount the light machine gun to the edge of the trench behind him, and chased the Mongolian cavalry as if to fight behind.

Because in the slashing just now, the speed of the cavalry has slowed down a lot.

Therefore, when more than 20 light machine guns were fired, dozens of Mongolian cavalrymen who crossed the defense line of the Liaodong Army were still forty or fifty meters away, which happened to be in the best range of light machine guns.

As soon as the light machine guns fired, the Mongol cavalry, who had not had time to rejoice in breaking through the defense line of the Liaodong Army, were immediately knocked down one by one.

At this time, there were only two roads in front of them, and the Liaodong Army defense line, which turned around and continued to punch and did not collapse, was killed by the Liaodong Army machine gun on the charging road. After all, there are dozens of cavalry left around him, and even if he uses machine guns to roll call, it will be a matter of two or three seconds.

There is another way, continue to rush forward, deep into the rear of the Liaodong Army.

In this way, although they will be chased and beaten by the Liaodong Army, as long as everyone is fast enough, there are still people who can break out of the range of light machine guns and escape with their lives.

There is no doubt that the remaining dozens of cavalry chose the second road at the same time and continued to rush to the rear of the Liaodong Army.
