Chapter 169: Four Horses Reject Jiang Zhan Helan 7
The horses of the brigade roared on the snow, and the horses of the Ma Jiajun brigade defending Yinchuan City galloped on the snowfield.
"Hurry up, get back into the fortress!" Xu Zhongyonglian, who had just broken through Guanjia Fort, saw the roaring horses, and his face changed greatly. The people of Guanjiabao were colorless, and the Ma Jiajun inside was killed and defeated by the enemy, and now the Ma Jiajun's brigade is surging again. Xu Zhongyong even had the idea of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
"Quick, close the gate, don't let the enemy in." Xu Zhonglian hissed and roared.
At this time, most of the forts in the northwest were earthen fences, and the official forts were similar, and the so-called walled gates around them were just thicker wooden fences. The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and horse bandits are rampant, and most of the places with slightly larger populations will live in fortresses to defend against possible attacks by horse bandits in peacetime. This defense was also sufficient for horse bandits, who lacked heavy weapons.
"Quick, rush, rush in!" The Ma Jiajun was obviously more brave than the soldiers in most places. Dozens of riders are rushing for time when the door closes with the heavy wall. The horse kicked on the ground and kicked up a large amount of snow stubble.
Da Da Da ......... Seeing that a dozen horses in front of him were about to rush in, two machine gunners stood in front of the gate in a Czech style and swept out with a few shuttles in front of them.
The screams of men and horses rang out one after another. More than a dozen riders who rushed in front fell to the ground one after another. After all, the Czech type is not comparable to the persistence of heavy machine gun fire. The bullets in the magazine quickly emptied. It didn't do much for the surging horses, but it was enough to stop the enemy forces outside the fort.
Herod .......... several soldiers with good horsemanship tugging at the reins, and the sturdy horses stood up in front of the closed gate. There were also one or two daredevils screaming and crashing into the heavy gate. I was stabbed in the hole by a bayonet stabbed from behind.
Bang bang bang.........
Several rounds of platoon guns were fired. The other party left dozens of corpses behind.
"Dismount. Break the fortress, no chickens and dogs left! Ma Bufang grimaced with a cold face and ordered sharply. I lost dozens of horses without even touching the gate, which is really fucking unlucky. As for whether the aborigines in this Guanjiabao are natives of Ningxia, they have no psychological burden on Ma Bufang, and killing them all is only a loss for Ningma, but his lair is in Qinghai.
"Break the fortress, don't leave the chickens and dogs!" The Ma Jiajun in the back raised their swords and guns one after another. From all sides to encircle the Guanjia Fort. The largest number of people is still at the gate of the wall. Hundreds of people dismounted and exchanged fire with Xu Zhongyong in the fort with rifles in their hands.
"Quick, get the mortars here, put the enemy in and fight again." Xu Zhongyong had a layer of sweat on his face, there were too many enemies, at least nearly two thousand cavalry, the size of a cavalry division, and he was actually rushing to Guanjiabao. THE AMMUNITION OF HIS COMPANY WAS NOT ENOUGH TO CONSUME, BUT FORTUNATELY, DURING THE ATTACK ON GUANJIABAO, THE BATTALION HEADQUARTERS SENT A FOUR-GUN 82MM MORTAR COMPANY TO HIM. Otherwise, this battle will really not be fought.
Dadada............
Ma Bufang is one of the leaders of the Ma Family Army in the northwest, and it is naturally impossible to have only some cavalry with guns. Soon two heavy machine guns were brought forward, one blocking the gate and the other suppressing the enemy troops on the walls of the fort. The old-fashioned relatively light two-pounder cannon in the back was also pulled forward, and the appearance of the artillery made Xu Zhongyong, who commanded the operation, jump, Nima, a heavy machine gun and a cannon, and let people live no longer.
The thick gate seemed to have been sawed through, leaving rows of bullet holes. The soldiers who fought back were swept down several times in a row.
"Quick, Company Commander Luo, blow up the enemy's machine guns first, and then blow up the enemy's artillery." Xu Zhongyong shouted loudly.
"These bastards, wait and see!" COMMANDER LUO OF THE ARTILLERY COMPANY HERE ALSO COMMANDED SEVERAL OF HIS SUBORDINATES TO WORK HARD AND MOVED TWO 82MM MORTARS TO THE DEFENSIVE WALL, WHICH WAS ONLY HALF A PERSON HIGH, AND PEOPLE HAD TO CRAWL OR SQUAT ON IT.
Rumble! Ma Bufang's artillery over there is fast enough, mainly because the horse-drawn speed of the two-pounder gun is indeed not slow. Here, when Company Commander Luo was lying on the edge of the wall to measure the range, the opponent's three two-pounder guns had already begun to load shells.
The machine guns outside were still firing frantically, and Company Commander Luo had no doubts about Xu Zhongyong's order to attack the enemy's machine guns, and those who had fought old battles knew that the veterans were most afraid of machine guns, and only those recruits were frightened when they heard the movement of the shelling. It is necessary to knock out the enemy's heavy machine guns first. Company Commander Luo gritted his teeth, and after calculating, he personally calibrated one artillery and reported the parameters to the soldiers of the other cannon.
Da Da Da .......
Ma Burong looked at the Guanjiabao in front of him with a cruel smile, he Ma Burong can even stop children crying in some places in Qinghai. Since joining the army, dozens of fortresses have been broken, and at least tens of thousands of people have been slaughtered. Attacking such a small fortress in front of you can be said to be easy to capture. As long as he had this cavalry at his disposal, he could move to and fro the rear of the 45th Army, and those transport teams, or small units hiding in the fortress like the one in front of him, could never be the match for one of his cavalry divisions. Consume it, as long as Yinchuan is still there, and you can get supplies from Yinchuan City, even if it is consumed, the 45th Army, an outsider, will be consumed to death.
There were a few crisp sounds that Ma Bufang hadn't heard, followed by two explosions that weren't very strong, but they were a little more powerful than his two-pounder cannon.
"No!" In Ma Bufang's painful eyes, a heavy machine gun turned into flying parts in the firelight. The heavy machine gun is a big killer, Ma Bufang is usually reluctant to use it at all, it consumes too many bullets, but the power of the heavy machine gun is Ma Bufang's love. The one he bought at the right moment at a great price was reduced to nothing in the artillery fire, and it was like a knife in his heart.
Looking at the other heavy machine gun, Ma Bufang felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and soon, this uneasiness became a reality. The effective firing range of this Taisho three-year heavy machine gun bought from the Japanese is only a few hundred meters, and at this distance, the probability of missing a few shells is also very low for Company Commander Luo.
"Well done! Company Commander Luo, go on! Xu Zhongyong smashed his fist on the wall next to him, put down a boulder in his heart, knocked out the opponent's heavy machine gun, and although the troops were still stretched, they could still be maintained without force for the time being.
"Okay, just with the quality of the Ma Jiajun artillery, it's not enough to lift shoes for Lao Tzu." Company Commander Luo smiled, although the other party's several old-fashioned two-pounder cannons were not very powerful, they were old-fashioned weapons, but once the gate of the fortress was damaged, it would not be a joke for those Ma Jiajun to burst into the fortress. But fortunately, the artillery is not good, and the artillery is even worse. Compared with Company Commander Luo, these guys who fired hundreds of shells in Fengtian City are not a level, the ground in the northwest, it is not easy to replenish the shells, and the nearest one is also the Gongxian Arsenal in Henan, and there are several ground forces.
