Chapter 181: Going to Qinghai for Military Training (5)
"Allah is great!"
"Rush!"
The 3,000 cavalry of the Ma Jiajun launched wave after wave of tidal attacks on the dozen or so chariots of the forward company under the leadership of Ma Zhanying, but the forward company stood there like a hard reef, and no matter how big the wind and waves were, he could not be shaken at all.
At this point, the striker even had only one thought on everyone's mind, 'Shoot, shoot, shoot!' ’
"Ahh With a muffled snort, Du Jingtao found that the M2 large-caliber machine gun that was originally playing happily on the turret was dumb. The loader's body also collapsed, and he hugged the loader to take a look, only to see that there was a small round hole in his chest, but there was an extra fist-sized hole behind it, and the dark green military uniform had been stained red and black with blood.
"!" Du Jingtao cursed, it was a dummy bomb, and this group of meaty Ma Jiajun dared to use such an expressly forbidden thing.
Du Jingtao, who was full of grief and indignation in his heart, put down his loader, rushed out of the lid of the turret, grabbed the heavy machine gun with both hands and forcefully boarded it, and the M2 heavy machine gun began to roar again.
The launch speed of the M2 is not very fast, the actual rate of fire is only about 200 to 300, but it has the advantages of strong vitality, stable trajectory, and a long range, and its effective range reaches 1,800 meters. It is a good thing that can deal with low-flying aircraft, thin-skinned armored vehicles. Now when it is used against cavalry, it is like touching one and killing another.
But now the cavalry is attacking in all directions around the forward company, and the forward company has to deal with attacks from several directions at the same time, and the firepower must be dispersed after the completion of the battle. Moreover, the personnel who were working on the heavy machine guns on the turret had to show half of their bodies when they fired, and the target was obviously too large, and after a while, Du Jingtao found that several more personnel who were working on the machine guns on the turret were shot and fell.
In order to reduce casualties, Du Jingtao ordered all tanks to close their roofs and rely on the two light machine guns inside the tanks to stop the enemy.
A fierce horse cavalry shouted "Allah is great!" The slogan rushed to the side of a tank, and a sinister smile came out of the corner of his mouth, and the prancing horse raised his saber and slashed at the tank's turret with all his might. He was sure that with this treasure knife of his ancestors, he would be able to split the iron-clad carriage in two.
But the truth is cruel, he only hears "Dangchang!" With a bang, the cavalryman only felt a huge force of shock reaching his hand, and he looked down in disbelief to see that this ancestral treasure knife had been broken in two. The tiger's mouth was also shattered by the force of the huge anti-shock, and blood was flowing out of the tiger's mouth quickly.
He had never encountered such a thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, but unfortunately this was a battlefield, and there was no room for any hesitation and hesitation. While he was stunned, a bullet from the armoured transporter's shooting hole hit him in the chest, and the huge kinetic energy lifted him off and fell him directly to the ground.
The infantrymen in the armoured transports had never felt the sensation of shooting at the target, the twelve-millimeter-thick armor in the armoured vehicles gave them enough protection, and the narrow shooting holes made it impossible for anyone to shoot bullets. This feeling of only hitting others by yourself, and others not looking for yourself, is not too cool.
Ma Zhanying, who was supervising the battle in the back, saw his brave soldiers walking on the bloody road paved with corpses, rushing all the way to the front of those chariots, they chopped with knives, smashed with rifle butts, and some even threw grenades on those chariots, but all these efforts were like bamboo baskets for drawing water, and in the end, the other party was not injured in anything, while his cavalry regiment of more than 3,000 people suffered most casualties in just over 20 minutes.
In despair, Ma Zhanying sat on the back of the horse with a dead face, and muttered: "Allah, have you given up your followers?" Punish us by sending down such monsters. ”
At this time, Ma Lu, who was two miles away, was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation in front, and when the battle was over, he knew that Ma Zhanying's three regiments were over. Even if he ordered a retreat now, there would be few people left in the third regiment.
Gritting his teeth, Ma Lu turned to the herald beside him and said, "Order the artillery battalion, you must not miss this good opportunity, and immediately fire at the enemy's chariots." ”
"Yes!" The herald, who was on horseback, immediately galloped away.
"What? Let's shoot right away? Have you given the wrong order, there are still our brothers there, if the cannons are fired, it will not be the Han people who will be killed and wounded the most, but we, the warriors of Allah. Did you know that if you give the wrong order, you will be killed! When the commander of the artillery battalion, who had just moved his position, heard this order at first glance, he grabbed the herald by the collar and asked sharply.
The herald, who was grabbed by the collar and almost couldn't breathe, broke free from the hand of the commander of the artillery battalion, and said angrily: "I don't know, that's how the division gave the order anyway." Whether I'll be beheaded or not is my business, don't worry about you. But if you disobey the military order, then disaster is right in front of you, and you can see it yourself. With that, the herald jumped on his horse and immediately whipped away.
"Hey! Fuck, what's this called! The commander of the artillery battalion punched the mound next to him and shouted angrily: "All the personnel of the artillery positions are in place, and immediately reload." ”
"Yingza, do you really want to fight?" The taste of timidity of an artilleryman.
"Smack!" There was a crunch sound.
A leather whip struck him, and the thunderous commander cursed loudly: "Bastard, didn't you hear my orders? Immediately reload, damn it, die early and return to the arms of Allah sooner. ”
At this time, Ma Zhanying's 3rd Cavalry Regiment was almost completely lost, and only a few hundred cavalrymen were still circling around the vanguard company tanks to find the weak points of these chariots, but these chariots continued to shoot bullets and knock them to the ground one by one.
"Tuanza, let's go, it's too late." Several guards were begging Ma Zhanying, who was supervising the battle at the back of the team. It is said that although Ma Zhanying is greedy for money, he still treats his subordinates well, these guards are all sons and nephews of his own clan, and they are loyal to him, and now seeing that the brothers in the regiment have fallen, these ironclad chariots may be killed at any time, so they are anxious to persuade Ma Zhanying to retreat quickly.
"If Lao Tzu doesn't leave, Lao Tzu will be here to watch how these Iron Kings come over to kill Lao Tzu." Ma Zhanying brandished a 38-style horse pistol in his hand, and raised the thick and dense eyebrows under his forehead, which were like a beard shaved from his mouth, lest he step on it and stick it on his forehead.
Several guards glanced at each other, two people clamped him, and as soon as they used force, they set Ma Zhanying up, and as soon as the people behind slapped the horse's buttocks, several people dragged Ma Zhanying away, leaving only Ma Zhanshan's scolding all the way.
Not long after Ma Zhanying left, the artillery of the Ma Jiajun artillery battalion fell.
"Boom" a series of more than 20 rounds of 70-caliber high-explosive shells fell in the middle of the tank, taking the cavalry who were around the tank by surprise.
"Cannon! Which cannon was it? My three regiments! It's all over! Ma Zhanyingcui, who was sitting on the ground, had his chest staggered, and his eyes were completely devoid of brilliance. He knew that after this battle, even if he could return to Xining alive, his future would be over, and Ma Bufang would not appoint him as a defeated general.
Looking at the cavalry struggling under artillery fire, Ma Lu's heart felt as if it had been pinched severely, and just a temptation had caused him to lose an entire regiment. At the same time, he finally understood that the era of cavalry had passed, and it was ridiculous that his second uncle Ma Bufang still wanted to give the Chahar army a dismount, which seemed ridiculous now. When he occupied the time and place, he used a regiment of troops, but he couldn't help the opponent's more than a dozen chariots, this is just a small reconnaissance force of the opponent!
"Tell the artillery battalion to beat me hard! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't crack these turtle shells! There was a hint of resentment in Ma Lu's tone.
The body of the "Bang Dang" tank shook, and another loud bang sounded in Du Jingtao's ears, which was already the second shell in Du Jingtao's ears.
Shaking his somewhat dizzy head, Du Jingtao ordered into the radio: "Attention all vehicles, aim at the enemy's artillery positions for direct shooting, prepare high-explosive shells, prepare, and release!" ”
Knowing the current level of these gunners, Du Jingtao doesn't play anything to shoot on the move, that is a job that only excellent gunners can play. What's more, if they leave now, it will not be good if the Ma Jiajun comes back to sneak attack the tank trapped in the pit. Therefore, Du Jingtao, who was in a bad mood, immediately ordered all vehicles to counterattack on the spot immediately, anyway, he also knew that the small artillery that Ma Jiajun was fighting now could not hit his own tank, so he had the right to practice his skills.
"Boom!" With a bang, a Type 63 armored vehicle was hit, and black smoke came out. When the back door of the car opened, several infantrymen with bloody faces ran out, and as soon as they got out of the car, they fell to the ground motionless, their lives and deaths unknown.
"The armored transporter is immediately out of the battlefield!" Du Jingtao felt a burst of regret in his heart, damn it, how could I forget to order these transporters to leave the battlefield? Their armor of only six to twelve millimeters is not enough to withstand the blows of infantry artillery.
"Brothers, give me a hard beating!" Du Jingtao, who was very upset, saw the remaining two armored transport vehicles leave the battlefield, so he poured his anger on the artillery position opposite.
A loud "boom" sounded, and another Type 92 infantry gun turned into a part state.
"Master, you can't fight like this. If this continues, the artillery battalion we have worked so hard to build will be played! The commander of the artillery battalion with a bloody face knelt in front of Ma Lu and begged bitterly: "This is the family foundation that our second division has saved up with great difficulty." You can do it, let's retreat! ”
Ma Lu's originally tense face sighed, and just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly felt a vibration on the ground, followed by a roar and a "squeak" sound from the metal friction. Looking to the east, I saw the dust and smoke billowing into the sky, and Ma Lu's face couldn't help but float a wry smile: "Now your cannons don't need to be withdrawn, hurry up and abandon the cannons!" Their big army is coming! ”
