187 deadly chaos
These thirteen tanks of the Ming army were like red-hot pieces of iron inserted into tofu, and instantly "melted" the panicked soldiers on both sides. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info tracer bullets hit these people who pushed and fled, splashing a blood mist, because the crowd was so dense, even a bullet could penetrate two people, and one by one people fell to the ground, let the people around them trample on it.
Although Fan Ming subconsciously corrected the mistake of what the non-commissioned officer of the Praetorian Guard said in front of him, his attention was still on the crowd he was strafing in the distance. As if slaughtering a group of civilians, the Weiyuan machine gun next to the 20mm cannon kept firing, sending a dense stream of bullets into the crowd.
Some people stood next to the bonfire that had been lit, and did not realize what was happening in front of them, and then they saw the Ming tanks rumbling over the road, and then some tanks fired at them, knocking them over next to the campfire, or directly overturning them on top of the bonfire, becoming a burning and beating flame.
From time to time, I encountered a few brave Jin rebels, holding their rifles and firing at the Ming tanks, and then these people were hit by bullets, struggling to fall down in front of others, and unwillingly closed their eyes. They finally believed that the Ming tanks could not be pierced with rifles, but unfortunately because their lives had been lost, they could not pass on their feelings to the other Jin rebels.
Because these rebels were very large in number compared to the Ming army, the camp of 3,000 people stretched out and had a large area. Therefore, many Jin rebel soldiers who were not in the direction of the Ming army's attack did not know what was happening in the center of the chaotic camp until a few minutes later.
The soldiers stood up curiously, hoping to see where things were going, and then fell to the ground as they were hit in the head by a flying bullet. Fear spreads rapidly because of the lack of clarity about the truth of the matter, as long as there is a place where the soldiers fall, it will immediately be chaotic and out of control, and no matter how the Jin Guo officers scattered throughout the army restrain them, these soldiers who have been in chaos will not be able to assemble again.
Seeing that the Ming army had reached the core of this Jin rebel army, the imaginary large-scale counterattack of the enemy army still did not happen. So Fan Ming followed behind the tank in front of him, and finally let go of the heart he had been hanging on - he knew that this adventure seemed to be successful, and now it depends on whether his process of seizing the bridge is smooth or not.
"Such an army is stationed without even arranging guards and sentry posts! You deserve to be raided by us! In the headset, the commander of the tank in the unknown tank opened fire while happily shouting loudly about the loopholes and shortcomings left by the opponent's marching formation.
Fan Ming also felt that the other party was a little too casual about this matter, obviously they had already received the news that the Ming army had broken through the Liaohe defense line, and they were still not cautious at this time, it really meant to kill themselves. However, he did not have time to worry about various problems for his opponent, but used a periscope to constantly observe the movements of the enemy army.
In fact, in the current situation, it is true that these Jin rebels behind the palace cannot be blamed. Because they only learned the exact news that the Ming army had captured Tieling two hours earlier. So the unfortunate commander of the rebels ordered to rest near the bridge and cook it, and then easily cross the bridge and blow it up......
Moreover, he also ordered the troops to send guards to observe whether there were any Ming troops around, and it stands to reason that he was right in this arrangement, but unfortunately he ignored the discipline of his troops: this army slaughtered a village during the day, and walked nearly ten kilometers on its legs, and was already exhausted.
Because of this, the alert force he sent did not actually move, but stopped when it reached the periphery of the troops, and then fell to the ground to rest. In the eyes of these Jin troops, the Ming army was still cleaning the battlefield dozens of kilometers away, how could they rush to a place so close to Mukden to send them to death.
As a result, in another way, this contributed to the success of this surprise attack by the Ming army. It wasn't until the Ming tanks were killed close to the periphery of the Jin army's garrison that they were discovered by the Jin rebels. And these Jin rebels, who found the tanks of the Ming army, are obviously not ready to counterattack.
More than a dozen field guns and the war horses dragging these guns are still crowded on the side of the road, the degree of mechanization of the Jin army is low, and there is no advanced equipment such as automobiles, and the most modern atmosphere is actually those artillery that look a little old.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jin rebels promised an important decisive battle decades ago and gained a firm foothold on the Liaodong Plain, the Ming army would not even dare to believe that they had been delayed for decades by such an unadvanced force. With the gradual acceleration of industrial development, the rebels of the Jin Kingdom felt more and more that the end was near, which was the most fundamental reason why they colluded with Japan to launch this war at any cost.
It's a pity that they still lost, and they were rightfully defeated. When the Ming Empire had begun to mass-produce tanks, the huge gap between the two sides in industrial strength had already appeared, and at this time, the Jin rebels could no longer use outdated and backward methods to deal with the increasingly powerful new army units of the Ming Empire.
"Fire! Find a way to get rid of the guns piled up on the side of the road! Fast! That's one of the few weapons they can use to threaten us! When Fan Ming saw the enemy artillery that appeared in his field of vision, he gave the order to his artillery commander to attack the target.
It wasn't Fan Ming's luck that they could easily find heavy baggage and heavy weapons to attack among the three thousand army. In fact, because these weapons are too heavy and huge, everyone is used to parking them on the side of the road when they are resting, so it is more convenient to go on the road again, so Fan Ming and the others quickly saw these heavy weapons and equipment and troop baggage along the road.
At this moment, when the thirteen tanks of the Ming army came in along the road, these expensive weapons that the Jin State had purchased from Ceylon, Japan, Britain and other countries at a great deal of money were exposed to the Ming army's tank turret, under the muzzle of the 20 mm caliber machine gun.
"Suddenly! Dodo! Suddenly! Without the slightest hesitation, the gunner firmly carried out Fan Ming's order to fire, and when he slaughtered the Jin people with a machine gun just now, he was still a little uncomfortable in his mentality. Now that the commander Fan Ming asked him to open fire and attack weapons and equipment, of course he would not refuse. (To be continued.) )
