Chapter 13 The Great Victory of Kouzhen
On March 23, there was no historical victory at Zhennanguan, but the heavy pressure of the French First Army on the counterpart town.
Balk's army arrived at the pass early in the morning, and the entire pass of Kouzhen was filled with bright Golden Eagle flags and Feng Zi flags, indicating that this army was the Golden Eagle Battalion under the old general Feng Zicai.
Early in the morning, Li Yi beat up the people sent by Balk and threw them out. Who is Balk, he is the creator of the March 16 tragedy, the culprit of the massacre, the person whom Li Yi is determined to eradicate, he will never allow an executioner who slaughtered the Chinese to live again.
Balk was extremely angry at Li Yi's behavior! Beating his envoy is simply a serious provocation to himself, Bakr will never allow himself to be provoked by a weak yellow-skinned monkey, kill! Kill! Kill! A frenzied slaughter had taken shape in Balk's mind.
He not only wants to kill the Li Yi Golden Eagle Battalion that provoked him, but also kills the people of Guangkou Town, and he wants to create a tragedy that is even bloodier than March 16 to deter the yellow-skinned monkeys of the Qing Dynasty.
All the officers of the French First Army received an order from Bakir, which was to massacre, massacre, and slaughter! Li Yi has become a bloody corpse in the eyes of the French army, and before the war began, they were fantasizing about how to slaughter the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Yi didn't care about the threat of the French army, not to talk about it, but from his heart he didn't look down on this group of French troops, their backward command ideas would only bury their own lives, Li Yi wanted to teach them a lesson, what is positional defense, what is artillery defense trenches, what is mine warfare, what is sniper warfare, etc., taught them that when they are slaughtered, Li Yi will have a hard-fought duel.
And in this war related to the honor and disgrace of a just country, the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Battalion also showed their excellent quality, their determination to hate the same enemy, sharpen their knives and raise their fighting spirits, just waiting for the arrival of the French army, giving them a memory that will never be erased!
"Captain, we are all ready, the defensive positions, sniper positions, and firing positions of each stronghold have been deployed, and the supplementary regiment is also ready, sacrificing one on top of the other, so that people can stop shooting!"
"Well, well done!" Li Yi praised. Li Yi had no way to do this, the entire Golden Eagle Battalion only had more than 1,200 M80 rifles, and in the face of the enemy's firepower ten times his own, Li Yi had to come up with all the tactics that could effectively deal with the French army.
Li Yi did not leave many people in the entire position, and now there are only more than 3,000 people in the entire position, except for more than 1,200 shooters, the rest are all big knife teams, and this is Li Yi's last resort to carry out white-knuckle warfare, and behind him is the mouth town of tens of thousands of people, he must not retreat, if he retreats, it will be equivalent to sending the people to the butcher's knife of the French army, which Li Yi will not do anyway.
Even the shooter Li Yi also made them change the previous dispatch, he let the shooters in a group of two, the highest shooting level of one person shoots, the remaining one fills ammunition, on the one hand, to increase the firing rate, increase the speed of each firing point, but also to save ammunition as much as possible, the number of French troops is several times their own, the firepower is more than ten times stronger, counting the artillery that the gap is even bigger.
In the early morning of the 24th, the sun rose, the dense fog was illuminated by the sun, the breeze blew, and soon became a thin veil shrouded in the valley, the early birds were crying happily, the grazing hares were leisurely chewing, the cool and gentle breeze, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, was refreshing, and the feeling of comfort was like being in a dream.
As usual, the Golden Eagle Camp has just started to eat breakfast, and today's breakfast is very rich, not only chicken and duck meat, but also red and shiny Guangxi cherries, sweet and sour, eat one in the mouth full of relish.
"Boom, boom!" Bursts of rapid and dense cannon fire suddenly rang out, breaking the harmonious valley, and the cheerful birds scattered in all directions, and the hare fled in a panic everywhere, and the soldiers, who were tasting the delicacy, grabbed the delicacy in one hand and ran towards the anti-artillery hole.
"Boom, boom!" When everyone panicked, only Li Yi smiled, yes, happily.
The French used rapid-fire guns, which fired shrapnel shells, which were very powerful and lethal to the charging infantry and cavalry, but they did little damage to the people hiding in the fortifications.
A shrapnel is a type of bomb that explodes in the air. The exterior is a thin metal shell, filled with a metal projectile weighing 8~10 grams and a fuse, under ideal conditions, the shrapnel will detonate a few meters above the front of the enemy infantry, like a super-large shotgun to sprinkle the metal projectile on the enemy. The fuse used in the shrapnel is a simple incendiary timed fuse, and the gunner can cut the appropriate length of the fuse according to the results of the ranging to control the time of the shrapnel explosion.
During this period, there was no trench warfare, and the ** teams did not have the concept of trench defense, they were all fought to the death between the two armies, and the positional warfare had not yet been used by the army. Balk was only an officer who could use the backward ideas of the French army, and he didn't have much command talent, so it was not possible to change it on the spot.
Although the French bombardment could not damage the Golden Eagle at all, Balk ordered the artillery to fire a base number of shells as planned.
When Li Yi hid in the anti-artillery cave and ate breakfast leisurely, when the anti-artillery cave was built, Li Yi not only ordered the troops to cut down stout trees to cover it, but also asked the soldiers to find straw mixed with mud and sand to spread a thick layer of shockproof layer on the trunk in order to prevent earthquakes.
The French artillery bombardment could not even shake off the dust, not to mention threatening them. "Captain, the French infantry is up." Wang Genshui panted and ran to report.
"Pass the order, and shoot when you enter a range of 500 meters!" Li Yi finished eating the chicken leg in his hand and wiped his hands clean before walking to the frontier observation point in a hurry.
Li Yi saw through the binoculars that the French soldiers were still far away from the range of 500 meters, and they had two battalions of more than 600 people rushing up with guns and swaggering.
"Wang Genshui, you go and order the sharpshooters in the assault team to start hunting officers as soon as they are within range." The corners of Li Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the officers wearing military uniforms with a smile, and now there are no specially trained snipers in each ** team, so the officers don't care about this, not only do they not hide their identity as officers when they go to the battlefield, but they are also afraid that others will not know, and even the medals they have won are hung on their clothes.
"Bastards, disgusting yellow monkeys!" A judicial officer, looking at the dense thigh-thick tree trunks and gravel blocks on the road, scolded viciously: "These ignorant monkeys, do they think that these tree trunks and gravel can kill people? ”
"Haha!" The surrounding French soldiers also laughed mockingly.
"This Gang"
