Chapter 845: Desperate for Life

Although the first battalion of the cavalry regiment repelled the attack of the Beiyang Army, it was also defeated by less than a hundred people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the individual ability of these Beiyang troops is not as good as that of the devils, their offensive firepower is too fierce, the blind cat hits the rat to death, and the dense bullets also cause a lot of casualties.

As soon as the battle ended, Zeng Yong ordered the three battalions that had not yet participated in the battle to replace the first battalion.

As soon as the third battalion took over the position, before it had time to repair the position, more than 2,000 Beiyang troops rushed up.

Zeng Yonggang's brows furrowed again, and after glancing at the offensive posture of the Beiyang Army, he said with a solemn face: "The Beiyang Army is going to fight hard." They have no artillery, they must have planned to fill it with human lives and take our position. ”

Then he ordered: "Notify the artillerymen, fire the artillery immediately, and shoot where there are many Beiyang soldiers!" There are so many enemies that you can kill as many as you can with cannonballs! ”

"Also, send all the light and heavy machine guns to the third battalion, and shoot as soon as the enemy comes into range!"

"There is also the second battalion, ready for battle, and the third battalion can be reinforced at any time!"

As soon as the order was issued, "all ......," the dull mortar cannon ejected and the sound of the chamber reached Zeng Yong's ears.

Soon, more than two dozen fireballs exploded in the middle of the attacking troops of the Beiyang Army.

But because the formation of the Beiyang Army was not very dense, the shells that exploded in the middle of the team did not kill many people, but made the Beiyang Army's attack faster!

Soon, heavy machine guns were also fired.

Although there was not much time left for the Beiyang Army, the attacking Beiyang Army was not confused. Under the interception of dozens of light and heavy machine guns, they continued to run and attack, even if there were many people, they would be killed.

Therefore, as soon as the heavy machine gun was fired, the attacking Beiyang Army lay on the ground, and then crawled forward, touching the checkpoint little by little.

"The Beiyang Army is too cunning, lying on the ground, and our heavy machine guns don't have any accuracy at all?" A platoon commander who operated a heavy machine gun complained loudly while pulling the trigger.

Because the Beiyang Army ran out of mortars, Zeng Yong went directly to the front-line position.

Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, he immediately frowned and ordered: "If the heavy machine gun can't hit it, use the shells to blow up, the artillery aims at the point, and all the shells are gone, Lao Tzu is no longer alive!" ”

"There is also a heavy machine gun, also aim for me, press the heavy machine gun, don't hit the bullets in the sky!"

The sound of gunfire continued on the battlefield, and the Beiyang Army lying on the ground was constantly blown up. But most of the Beiyang Army still kept approaching the checkpoint by crawling forward.

Two hundred meters, dozens of light machine guns and a small number of sharpshooters armed with cavalry regiments also fired. The casualties of the Beiyang Army also more than doubled at this time, but there were too many of them, and as soon as the people in front were killed, the people behind followed and climbed up, and there was a steady stream.

By the time they climbed a hundred meters in front of the level, nearly a thousand people had fallen along the way. But there were more than 1,600 Beiyang troops left, and they didn't want to crawl forward.

At this time, the remaining riflemen of the cavalry regiment also fired. Similarly, the riflemen and light machine gunners of the Beiyang Army, who were crawling on the ground, also began to shoot to suppress the blocking fire of the cavalry regiment.

"Regiment commander, there are too many Beiyang soldiers, and we must find a way to stop them. As long as they rush forward fifty paces, they can throw grenades at us and engage in melee combat. We don't have many troops, and we are certainly no match for them in close combat. The third battalion commander reminded Zeng Yong with a worried face.

Zeng Yong's brows had already wrinkled into a big Sichuan character, he didn't expect Feng Guozhang to be so ruthless, in order to win the level under his feet, he was really willing to fill it with human life.

On the surface, this offensive method showed that the Beiyang Army had taken a great advantage, because the troops were lying on the ground, and the casualties were definitely much smaller.

But in reality, this is not the case, first of all, this type of attack takes two or three times more than the normal attack method for the same attack distance, or even longer.

In the same amount of time, the casualties were much less. But over time, the casualties increase many times over.

If there were not enough troops to support this attack, the Beiyang Army might have been killed before they could climb a hundred or two hundred meters in front of the formation.

So, in general, commanders rarely attack in this way unless they have to.

Now Feng Guozhang chooses this way, that is, relying on his own strength to be more than the cavalry regiment and can withstand attrition.

However, in this way, even if the attacking troops of the Beiyang Army successfully climbed to the checkpoint. Nearly 3,000 attacking troops will also be almost consumed on the long offensive road.

Zeng Yong, who was frowning, subconsciously thought of the second battalion that could be reinforced at any time.

But as soon as the idea appeared, it was rejected by himself.

In the face of the desperate attack of the Beiyang Army, the participation of more than 200 riflemen in the battle will certainly not play much role.

In this case, Zeng Yong could only find a way to deal with the enemy.

At this time, a fatal flaw of the Beiyang Army's offensive troops suddenly appeared in his mind, and then, Zeng Yong's eyes shot out two fine lights.

"I thought about it, the attacking troops of the Beiyang Army did not have heavy machine gun cover, and the only light machine guns were suppressed by us. In front of our cavalry, there was simply no room to fight back. ”

"Order the second battalion, bypass the first-line positions, and counterattack the attacking troops of the Beiyang Army once."

"Light and heavy machine guns on the position, keep an eye on the light and heavy machine guns of the Beiyang Army, don't let them threaten our cavalry!"

The attacking forces are getting closer and closer to the checkpoint, and there are more than a thousand people left. Feng Guozhang, who didn't have much hope for this attack, also had a pair of eyes firmly fixed on the battlefield at this time.

In his opinion, the battle has been fought so far, as long as there are no accidents, the attacking troops will definitely be able to reach the checkpoint.

At that time, what he needed to do was to fight for his life with the defenders of the checkpoint, and for this moment, Feng Guozhang, who had regained his confidence again, transferred another battalion of more than 1,000 elites to the battlefield. As soon as the attacking troops enter the checkpoint, this battalion rushes to the battlefield, joins the battle, and wins the checkpoint in one fell swoop by virtue of the superiority of troops.

When Feng Guozhang and all the officers of the Beiyang Army thought that victory was in sight, a roar suddenly reached their ears.

Many people's first reaction was not the sound of horses' hooves, but Feng Guozhang understood it immediately, and had a very bad premonition!

When the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer to everyone, more than two hundred cavalry appeared in their business and killed directly on the flank of the attacking troops. Feng Guozhang was stunned all of a sudden, and the dozens of officers next to him were also stunned.

The limited machine-gun fire of the attacking troops was all directed at the front, and under the suppression of the cavalry regiment, not to mention the transfer, they could not even move.

This means that more than 200 cavalry are attacking on the flank, without any firepower that can threaten them, and more than 200 cavalry can easily kill the attacking troops, and then slaughter the formation of the attacking troops, cooperate with the frontal defense troops, and destroy their own attacking troops.
