Chapter 56: The Battle of Heyuan (4)

"My lord, you can't continue to rush, everyone is going to die!" Mao Wu, Liu Dascar and other leaders ran to Pang Erhu to cry, watching the brothers go up to die, it's really not a fucking taste, the bottom of this family is gone, there will be no foothold in the future, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes in the future? These damn officials won't deliberately let their group of people die!

Guangzhou General Bao Nian couldn't stand this bloody scene, so he had already run to the barracks, and now it was Pang Erhu who was in charge of the attack and command. He saw that the number of rebels was small, but the firepower was too strong, and the Qing army could not compare at all, so they could only rush up and fill it with human lives. A team of more than 20,000 bandits is the best cannon fodder, so what do you use without them? Once he will succeed, let alone these people who are bandits, he doesn't care about their lives at all. Faced with the crying of several people, Pang Erhu patiently comforted: "Leaders, you can recruit again when you are gone, are there still few people in Guangdong who are willing to play with their lives?" As long as you can make a fortune, plus the territory promised by General Bao Nian later, your power will still grow, and you are reluctant to let the children catch the wolf, everyone, don't be impatient. ”

The charging bandits were strewn all over the field in front of the barbed wire, some of them were fierce, and some of them were not so tenacious, and when they saw that the situation was not good, the people behind them dropped their weapons and turned around and ran, and then turned into a big rout, and the bandits who rushed up with a breath of anger were sniped strongly and finally lost the courage to move forward.

"Don't go back!" The green battalion soldiers shouted loudly in front of the position, and they could not stop the collapse of the bandits at all. Seeing that he was about to retreat, Pang Erhu took a deep look at Mao Wu and the others, gritted his teeth, and ordered loudly: "Machine gun fire!" The bandit leaders bowed their heads in pain, they did not dare to face the misery of their brothers. The hundreds of bandits who returned were killed by the Qing army, and the rest could only turn around and rush up the mountain again, and they even threw away their weapons, took off their shirts and shirtless, looking like they were begging for death.

He Guangsha spit out, this is simply a massacre, a battle without any suspense. He mechanically pulled the trigger, endured the churning in his stomach, and shot bullet after bullet, knocking out the enemy who was bent on death. At this moment, he finally understood the words of the instructor during the training of recruits: revolution is not a dinner party, but the overthrow of the old society with bloody violence! "For the sake of the country, for the sake of the nation, it is worth it." He said silently in his heart, and after a few times, the discomfort in his heart disappeared, replaced by the desire to fight!

The second attack was finally over, and all 6,000 bandits fell in the attack, leaving no survivors. We can think that they are innocent of death, because they were bandits who did all kinds of evil, and they also acted as pawns of the Manchus against great causes. But after all, they are all Chinese, and the consumption of national strength in the civil war is never worth it, and one can only hope that there will be fewer such battles in the future, and there will be less senseless killing in the process of overthrowing the Manchu Qing.

Lu Hu didn't pay so much attention to humanity in the war, and as a genetic officer, he always took the realization of the goal as the primary goal. From the current point of view, even if the Qing army is numerous, it will not be able to break through the defense line, not to mention that there are artillery and some heavy machine gun pillboxes that have not fired, and the Qing army, which lacks artillery, is powerless in the face of the defense of barbed wire and machine guns. Even so, after all, the Qing army had a numerical advantage, and they still had nearly 40,000 soldiers, and if they adopted wheel warfare, because the number was too small and there was a lack of rotation, it was difficult to ensure that the front-line officers and soldiers would be overtired.

The Qing army did not give up and launched a third attack two hours later. This time, under the threat of machine guns and bayonets of the regular soldiers, more than 10,000 bandits all went into battle, and 5,000 people were arranged on each hillside, and they slowly advanced. Mao Wu and others brandished guns and led more than 500 gun-wielding henchmen to supervise the battle in the rear, but if there was a retreat, there was no need for the Qing army to open fire, they solved him first. They kind of understood, five-legged toads are not easy to find, and there are many two-legged people, these days, there are many outlaws who are willing to exchange their lives for money, and they will recruit them when they are gone. The most important point is that just now Bao Nian personally promised that after the war, the anti-bandit brigade would be transferred to a formal establishment, and their leaders would remain in their posts as officers. From temporary workers to contract workers to permanent workers, the employment mechanism in those years seems to be no different from that of a hundred years later.

The bandit brigade moved up the hill step by step, and the bandits in front had begun to bend down and disperse, and the corpses of their companions on the ground let them know that charging straight was looking for death. On the revolutionary army's position, taking advantage of the gap between the Manchu Qing attack, Le Fei took people to receive ammunition supplies and food, and replenished drinking water.

Loading a magazine into the rifle, pulling out the lid of the wooden-handled grenades, and placing them on the sandbags in front of the trench one by one, He Guangsha licked his chapped lips. Although fresh water had just been replenished, the weather was already showing its power and the sun was getting hot. He looked at the dense enemy troops at the foot of the mountain, and estimated that grenades would most likely be used in this attack, so he prepared in advance. After the two attacks, He Guangsha felt that he had no nausea and no passion for fighting, as if he had become a killing machine in the mouth of an instructor, mechanically pulling the trigger, and then being indifferent to the fallen enemy, quickly turning the muzzle of the gun and preparing to kill another enemy. It had only been less than a day, and he was amazed at how quickly he had adapted to the battlefield, was this his nature?

"That kid is good, I remember that he was a recruit with the highest level of knowledge who joined the army in October last year, and he insisted on going to the front line of the battle, it seems that he is indeed a good material." Lu Hu and a group of commanders were inspecting the battlefield, and he pointed to He Guangsha, who was preparing for battle. Luc, the deputy commander of the regiment, said: "I also paid attention to this person many times during the battle, and the speed of adapting to the battlefield was a little faster than that of other recruits, and there was no squeamishness of this era. Lu Hu nodded, and then said: "Cultivate for a period of time, and then send him to Haifeng Military Academy for further study." ”

The construction of the Haifeng Military Academy began a year ago, and the enrollment of students will open after the new year, and for the time being, it will only recruit students internally, which is a measure of the regularization of the military in Luliang. The Military Academy was built on the basis of the Security Corps study class and was divided into the Army Academy and the Naval Academy. On weekdays, there are few people in the academy, and most of the cadets are a combination of theory and practice, especially the naval cadets. With the launch of the second Nanhai-class cruiser in April, the number of sailors in need of training has increased dramatically.

The area of the battlefield in front of each hillside is not large, and at most two hundred people can be lined up horizontally. The closer they got to range, the faster the bandits advanced, and instead of charging in a straight line, they moved left and right, looking for cover from time to time to shoot, which caused a lot of trouble for the soldiers.

It's time to test the marksmanship, "pop", Le Fei hit a bandit, bowed his head and bent down to quickly pull the bolt, raised the gun and aimed again, the muzzle moved with the figure of a bandit, pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit behind the enemy, and when Le Fei aimed again, the man was already hiding behind a corpse. The "snap" bullet hit the man's leg, and the bunker was too small to cover it completely. However, it was really difficult to hit accurately at a distance of more than 100 meters, and the bandit brigade soon approached the barbed wire fence at a distance of 100 meters. In order to prevent the Qing army from retreating, LΓΌ Hu deliberately ordered people to place only a barbed wire, and the first two attacks had already damaged the barbed wire and could not be repaired. The bandits swarmed in through the gap in the barbed wire, but gave Dong Dashan an excellent opportunity to shoot.

Previously, the enemy was too scattered to exert the fire of the machine guns, and now they all rushed to those gaps, and suddenly became very dense. The point shot turned into a burst of fire, Dong Dashan tightly pressed the trigger, the muzzle of the gun jumped violently, and he tried his best to ensure the ballistic stability of the muzzle shot. "Da da da", a piece of the gap falls, these gaps are like the gates of hell, and on both sides of the gap are the two ends of life and death.

"They can't attack it! What about the investigation? Lu Hu asked, holding up the binoculars.

"The reconnaissance platoon sent back the news that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was all here, and there was no division of troops."

"Order all the two battalions in Heyuan County to come over, Lao Tzu wants to fight a counterattack!"
