Chapter 408: Bloody Killing
Although it was only about 200 meters away, Kondrachenko fired ten shots in succession, and the bullets were shot into the position of the Satsuma army filled with smoke with Kondrachenko's anger and resentment, this kind of shooting was not accurate at all, Kondrachenko had no way of knowing where the bullets belonged, but this is no longer important, the important thing is that the offensive of Kondrachenko and the Russian soldiers is still continuing, the important thing is that the perseverance of Kondrachenko and ordinary Russian soldiers finally defeated the opponent, and the Satsuma army gradually collapsed in the crazy attack of the Russian army, Howling like a wolf began to be heard from the position, Kondrachenko rushed into the enemy position, the first time Kondrachenko had faced the Satsuma army at such close range.
What kind of army is this? What kind of soldiers is this? The old black uniforms had been shattered, the devastating artillery bombardment of the Russians and the frantic attacks of the infantry had broken the spirit of resistance on which they depended, and the almost distorted facial expressions did not show the reaction they should have at the sudden intrusion of a Russian officer. Kondrachenko reflexively pulled the trigger, the bullet did not hit the enemy, strictly speaking, there was no bullet out of the muzzle, the firing pin hit the air in the air, he forgot to reload.
Kondrachenko felt like he was going to die! He would almost certainly have two or more guns that would beat Kondrachenko into a sieve, and Kondrachenko's footsteps never stopped, he kept running forward like a dying beast, and soon Kondrachenko's bayonet found its target: a small Satsuma soldier reclining in a trench, gasping for breath, perhaps already on the verge of death, Kondrachenko's bayonet had only stabbed the little man in the stomach in a flash of cold light. He was gasping. The bayonet, which had reached the handle, penetrated the human body too quickly. So much so that he was nailed to the wall of the trench, and the blood did not gush out for a moment, and Kondrachenko clung to him, so close that his muddy breath had already touched Kondrachenko's neck; Kondrachenko still wondered why there was still no bullet to knock him down, why there was still no other bayonet to stab him in the body; Just as the first stream of blood poured out of the knife groove, Kondlachenko stirred the spear violently. Each stirring caused the opponent to tremble, but he still did not make a sound, Kondrachenko did not look at his eyes, because his head was always hanging there, maybe he was also looking at the bayonet that was ending his life, and suddenly he raised his right hand, what did he want to do? Kondrachenko's slashing has already decided his life and death, does he want to choke Kondrachenko? What is in his hand and why is it so tight?
In a flash of light, Kondrachenko suddenly realized. That was a fuse.
Exactly like Kondrachenko's thoughts, he wants to die with Kondrachenko!
Once again, fear gripped Kondrachenko's crunched heart. When the spear stirred again, Kondlachenko pulled out the bayonet violently, he fell down, at the moment when the bayonet left his body, he did not have the strength to light the fuse, end this painful life, due to excessive force, Kondrachenko fell to the ground with inertia, the gun also fell to the side, he was still panting, at this moment Kondrachenko finally saw his eyes - his face, the smoke and blood stains on his face still could not hide his immature appearance, he was still a child!
Kondrachenko mechanically affirmed his own judgment, when did his heart become so insensitive? A young life was ended by Kondrachenko in the most primitive and cruel way, but Kondrachenko did not feel the vibration of his heart at all, on the contrary, there was an inexplicable pleasure! What's wrong with him?
The war was still going on, and it was getting more and more intense, and when Kondrachenko got up and jumped into the trench again, the child was still not dead, his body was still shaking involuntarily, and the throat was still making a muddy sound, should Kondrachenko give him a shot to end his painful life? Kondrachenko was asking himself, but what about his own life? But what about the lives of the soldiers who covered the earth behind him Kondrachenko? War itself is a kind of pain, let him taste the taste of war in the pain, and hope that in the next life he will not choose the life of this life.
More Russian soldiers rushed to the Satsuma army position, and the remnants of the Satsuma army began to flee rapidly along the communication trench into the distance, the Russian Gatling gun suddenly fired on the left side of Kondrachenko, and the dull whistling sound pulled Kondrachenko back from the trance, Kondrachenko's eyes involuntarily aimed at the direction of the Satsuma army's escape, why would these Satsuma troops be stupid enough to run away in a straight line? Can a human leg run past a bullet? The Gatling machine gun fired a fire whip high and low left and right covered the fleeing Satsuma army, the enemy was still doing a straight line of rapid movement, from time to time someone was knocked down, more Russian troops joined the pursuit of annihilation, then Kondrachenko saw a strange scene: a puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the soles of the pursuing Russian troops, and then the orange flash lifted them into the air, the dull explosion, the flying stumps and broken trees, the aerial dhara like a tumbling body, everything was like a slow movie.
Mine!
The minefield set up there by the Satsuma Army!
Only then did the Russian soldiers understand the almost crazy linear movement of their opponents, which was the passage they left for themselves in the minefield!
The Russian soldiers who were lifted into the air by the air waves crossed an arc and fell into the grass not far away, this time triggering a larger and more violent explosion, triggered by a number of trigger mines was a three-dimensional minefield planted by the Satsuma army: in the dirt, in the grass, under the rocks, on the branches, everywhere and everywhere, the remaining Russian troops were overturned and subverted in the violent explosion, Kondrachenko and the brothers forgot to shoot in surprise, and the Satsuma army on the main position also did not shoot, maybe they were also shocked by the situation in front of them.
"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey! They all deserve hell! Someone was cursing loudly.
But no matter how much they screamed, the enemy fled, waiting for a new battle with them in another place, and the minefields they left behind would continue to haunt the Russians.
At this time, the nearby Satsuma army positions were still under heavy gunfire and the sound of killing was shocking, and the Russian attack there was also met with fierce resistance from Satsuma army fire from several directions, and their progress was not smooth. Casualties were also significant. At the beginning of the war. The participating troops in the entire theater were under unprecedented pressure, and the various units frantically attacked the positions of the Satsuma army without reinforcements, relying on artillery fire and the courage of the soldiers to die, and turned them into graves where the Satsuma army was buried.
Kondrachenko and the Russian soldiers could not stop, and any situation could change the situation of the battle significantly, at this time the remaining soldiers who attacked the positions of the Satsuma Army began to cross the minefield and approach the main defensive positions of the Satsuma Army. Kondrachenko still followed the battle sequence of the forward troops.
Kondrachenko heard the groans of a Russian soldier behind him tripped over a vine and fell to the ground, the shouts of officers, and the heavy panting of many soldiers who were about to fight to the death against the enemy again. The artillery bombardment of the Russian army began, and shells smashed into the main positions of the Satsuma army in batches. The sound of the explosion rose like a wave of waves, like a symphony.
"Attention! The whole formation is scattered! ”
The officers kept shouting. With their rude urgings, the Russian soldiers crossed the forward barrier destroyed by artillery fire and launched an attack on the enemy's main positions. Kondrachenko and his soldiers moved quickly along the rain rift ditch on the right side of the enemy's main position towards the Satsuma army trench, and not far behind him and not far from the side were the Russian infantry with guns straight to the body and quickly charged, at this time a series of clear or dull sounds sounded from the Satsuma army's position and its depth, and the sky was instantly filled with the screaming sound of shells tearing through the air.
"Enemy shelling! Enemy shelling! Beware of concealment! An officer shouted loudly.
Kondrachenko fell to the ground almost at the same time as the shouts rang out, and the Satsuma artillery shells were overwhelming, and the explosion was deafening, terrible because of the Satsuma army's shrapnel, which exploded in the air under the control of a fuse. The burst of shrapnel and iron balls covered a large area at once, and Kondrachenko caught a glimpse of a group of Russian soldiers in the attack formation on the left being flipped to the ground at the moment of the explosion of the shrapnel. A Russian officer was thrown into the air, and at the moment of landing, he was again hit by a shell and was thrown into a higher airspace again, his body was completely split, his broken limbs were scattered all over the hillside, and his military hat was still tightly tied to his head, rolling in the air like a leather ball, and he was stirred by the shock waves caused by various explosions for a long time.
At this time, the battlefield in Kondrachenko's eyes was black, black smoke, black human body, black grass and trees, black earth, and black sky. At this time, a large number of screams also sounded and rowed from the airspace in the north, this was the suppressive artillery fire of the Russian army, Kondrachenko's tears welled up in his eyes at one brush, the Russian artillery bombardment became more and more intense, and the screams from both sides in the sky were crowded together, and it was impossible to distinguish the belonging of the shells. Behind Kondrachenko, the dull sound of Gatling gun fire rang out again, and the follow-up troops were covering the fire of Kondrachenko's attacking force.
"Brothers, kill!" There was a sound of killing behind him, and Kondrachenko didn't know who was raising his arms and shouting, and at the beginning of the shouting, Kondrachenko heard a series of muffled sounds of shrapnel hitting the human body and the last screams of the people who were hit.
"Rush! Come on! A short Russian soldier was shouting almost close to Kondrachenko's ear, and before Kondrachenko could come to his senses, he had already rushed past Kondrachenko to the front, and Kondrachenko and the soldiers behind him screamed and straightened up and rushed towards the enemy's main position, which was also shrouded in smoke and ammunition.
Closer, closer, Kondrachenko gasped and watched the trench being pulled closer to him by a meter, and finally Kondrachenko rushed into the trench on the west side of the enemy's main position, and then a group of Russian soldiers who rushed over also attacked a position on the west side of the enemy's main position, and there were rifle shots everywhere and the angry shouts of people fighting desperately,
A squad of Satsuma troops retreated to a hole in the ground, and the dark hole was filled with enemy shouts and rifle fire, and from time to time bullets flew out, making it difficult for the Russian army to get closer.
"Rush in! Destroy them! A Russian officer yelled at his men with bloodshot red eyes, but the enemy's rifle at the entrance of the cave did not stop firing, and several Russian soldiers who tried to rush in were knocked down, and the rest hesitated and did not attack the entrance of the cave again.
"Set them on fire, burn them!" I don't know who shouted.
Kondrachenko did not look at him, and none of the soldiers answered the madman - at this time, God knows how to set fire!
That's when it happened. The enemy in the hole stopped shooting. Kondrachenko heard what seemed to be an argument coming from inside. It is also accompanied by an eerie "sizzling" sound.
Kondrachenko suddenly understood what was going on, and his face immediately changed.
"Quick! Get out of here! Kondrachenko shouted like madness as he jumped out of the trench and ran out of the position.
A group of Russian soldiers who followed him did not understand what was happening, but out of trust and unconditional obedience to their commander, they also jumped out of the trench and ran outside.
"What are you doing? Coward! Come back! Keep fighting! "A Russian officer was red-eyed, and he was outraged by Kondrachenko's actions. Raising a pistol and firing a shot in the direction of Kondrachenko's escape, the bullet flew past Kondrachenko's side and did not hit him, and Kondrachenko did not pay attention to who fired the shot, but jumped into a crater, hugged his head and curled up.
The officer was hesitating when the loud and dull sound of an explosion put an end to everything.
Kondrachenko heard a loud bang, and he felt the earth shake violently, as if he was not hiding in a crater. Instead, it crouched on top of a huge prehistoric monster, and the monster was in great pain at the moment. A frenzied leaping roar slammed into Kondlachenko's body.
Kondrachenko felt a dizziness and his ears ring, and then he felt countless pieces of mud and gravel fall from the sky, burying him and making it difficult for him to breathe.
A large mass of mud pressed Kondrashenko's body, Kondlachen's body tried to stand up, but he couldn't move, Kondrachenko struggled desperately, with one, two, three, four...... Kondrachenko was pulled out of the mound by Nauminko and several soldiers, and it was only then that Kondrachenko realized that he was still alive.
Kondrachenko easily stood firm, he wiped a handful of blood and dust from his face, looked at the position of the Satsuma army, and what greeted him was a hellish sight!
The entire position had been completely blown up, and the surface of the position seemed to have been plowed by a huge plow, and it was no longer possible to see the original appearance, Kondrachenko staggered up to the position, trying to find the hole just now, but found that the hole was gone!
All he could see was countless mutilated corpses.
In this way, the Satsuma destroyed their enemies and buried themselves!
This is war, this is killing!
Before Kondrachenko could recover from his shock, Naumenko stepped forward and pulled him out of the position, and Kondrachenko heard another scream in the air.
Another screaming, another shelling.
The demise of the remnants of the Satsuma army seems to be some kind of signal, calling for the artillery fire that covers this position, all the people, all the creatures, and all the things are all caught in the rain of bullets, at this time, the guns of the countless Satsuma troops on both sides of the position rang out like a resurgence, and the encircled Kondrachenko and the Russian soldiers were completely controlled by the bullets of the Satsuma army, and in a panic, Kondrachenko saw the hats of the Satsuma army appearing and disappearing from time to time in the communication trenches extending from both sides, The Satsuma army began to counterattack.
"The enemy is attacking!" Kondrachenko only had time to shout, he raised his rifle, kept shooting, the bullet hit the earth, the wall of the trench or the human body, a shell exploded not far from him, with the sound of the explosion, Kondrachenko clearly heard a man's desperate howl, Kondrachenko did not look back, there was no time to turn back, suddenly a mutilated corpse fell from the sky and smashed in front of Kondrachenko, Kondrachenko's bullet also ruthlessly pierced him.
"No!" Someone suddenly shouted, "Oleg! ”
Kondrachenko was shocked, was it him who fell in front of his eyes? Is it this man named Oleg who strikes and penetrates mercilessly with his own bullets? What about his head? What about his legs?
"Ahh - "Kondrachenko went crazy, Kondrachenko straightened up desperately, and shot his rifle at the serpentine trench with a rifle.
"Fuck you, get out!" I don't know who shouted at Kondrachenko, I don't know who kicked Kondrachenko down the hill with the most forceful kick, and the moment Kondrachenko fell to the ground, Kondrachenko saw an officer standing where he had stood, shaking violently in the rain of bullets, and before he had time to mourn and distinguish the face of the dead brother, Kondrachenko had already rolled down the slope.
Failed, the Russian offensive failed, and as soon as Kondrachenko's brain returned to his senses, it was gripped by a feeling of despair. Kondrachenko retreated among the remnants of the soldiers to the place where the charge had just begun, and the pursuit fire of the Satsuma army kept shooting at the Russian soldiers, and from time to time someone fell, and the blood flowed dark red rivers on the land that had been repeatedly plowed by artillery fire.
One man after another fell, the paramedics rushed up and fell, the officers in command of the battle also fell, a Gatling bullet pierced his chest and abdomen, and the bowl-sized wound was no longer blood, but colorful internal organs. (To be continued......)
