Chapter 247: Nogi Noshinori Hits the Wall (2)
Yasutaro Takenaka stared closely at the backs of the surging soldiers, and beside him, another squadron of soldiers was ready to fill the attacking ranks. On the other side, the 3rd Squadron drew a squad and made a detour along the undulating shallow valley to attract the attention of the enemy.
His gaze penetrated through the faint smoke and dust, keenly searching for the unclear front, and he wanted to record every detail of the battle that was about to break out.
"The little devil is up."
Huang Lebo grinned, and there was no tension at all about the battle about to start. Nor did they shout and drink like the Qing army camp officers and sentry officers who jointly guarded the position, and they encouraged the soldiers to do so, but just walked through the platoons and firing points one by one to make sure that their morale was stable.
The first battalion is all veterans who have experienced many battles, and they don't say anything about their psychology. The only thing Huang had to do was to make sure they didn't make mistakes in their busy schedules and couldn't take care of some details or anything like that.
The Japanese skirmishers were very open, and the space between them was appropriate, and it was not easy to be clustered together because they were attacking from the bottom of the hill to the top. This caused a lot of trouble for the defenders to use the power of their heavy weapons. Especially the recruits, who were shaking around in front of them, holding rifles in both hands, and didn't know who to attack.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer, tensions began to spread between the battlefields. After the previous tense battle, the recruits were obviously tense-skinned, and their bodies were like tightened springs, and some of them were still trembling, I don't know if they were scared or overexcited.
They had been persuaded by the new army to lay down, but now they were stimulated by the Japanese army, and they immediately forgot about everything. Crowded around. Ass pouting. Straighten up your waist. Gradually, he stood up from the shallow pit he had made out of the haphazard and raised his gun to aim.
The battalion officer and several sentry officers were also carried away, covering their hats and pressing their sabers, shuttling between the soldiers, scolding and scolding: "Don't panic, don't be damned, the little devil can't rush up!" Steady, suppressed the fire, and beat him ...... cold. ”
Clusters of soldiers quickly straightened up from behind the obstacles.
Huang Lebo covered his face and sighed: "It's really troublesome!" What the fuck is going to do? I'll shoot them down if I'm not careful. But it's okay. Let the little devil relax his vigilance first, and then talk about it ruthlessly. ”
With the experience of the last battle, the Japanese army quickly moved within 500 meters. has entered the maximum range of the weapons of both sides. Xu Bangdao, who was standing behind and watching the battle, couldn't sit steadily, and took a few steps forward to overlook the battlefield, and saw that almost all of them were his own soldiers. The soldiers of the Forces nouvelles, who had come to help, were all hidden in the trenches and remained motionless.
Thanks to listening to Huang Lebo's explanation just now, I know that this is not because I am afraid of cowardice and dare not show my head. But he was always a little unimpressed, no matter how much you hide and cover up, don't you still have to get up and shoot after all? That little devil is not a fool. How can I just give you yin?
At 400 meters and 300 meters, the Japanese troops in front of the breakthrough suddenly fired more than a dozen shots into the mountain.
Now. As if stabbing a hornet's nest, the Qing soldiers pulled the trigger almost without thinking, and the "bang-bang-bang" gunfire was like bursting beans, and the mountains and fields that shook in an instant echoed, and no other movement could be heard.
The artillery positions on the side were also alarmed, and they opened fire with a bang, and in a blink of an eye, there was thick gunpowder smoke everywhere, covering the inside and outside of the Qing army's position, and the vision was suddenly blurred!
There are many good guys in the hands of the Qing army, including Mauser 1871/84 rifles and Manlisha repeating rifles, all kinds of variety, but they are much better than the Murata 18 type of the previous Japanese army. There is also artillery support, and there are a lot of people, crackling and fighting, and it is as lively as an artillery battle in the New Year.
However, the trouble caused by this is that the general black fire - the launch guide zhì smoke is everywhere, and it is impossible to see whether there is anyone in front of it. Not to mention that the Qing army can't fight anyone, Huang Lebo's new army soldiers are lying in the trenches, and they are also white flowers in front of them!
"Oops! This can't be fixed! ”
Huang Lebo slapped his thighs again and again, and said in his heart, why are there such a bunch of guys? I knew that it was better to let the troops rest behind first, this chaotic roar.
Antaro Takenaka was greatly relieved, judging from the situation in front of him, it was all the Qing army. Their reactions, their combat stance, were exactly the same as before, nothing had changed. Those trench obstacles don't help at all, as long as your own soldiers are in front, it is not difficult to aim and shoot them.
Two hundred meters! The Japanese forward soldiers calmly moved forward, dodging waves of messy bullets and sideways shells, and rushed a few meters into the air. So intermittently, they were forced to a distance of about 100 meters with basically no casualties.
At this time, the Qing army had already finished several rounds of bullets. Bullet casings were scattered everywhere on the position, and none of them cared about the so-called formation, so they stood and loaded the bullets with such a big grin.
Huang Lebo broke off and shouted: "All of them, ready to fight!" ”
The soldiers in the trenches jumped up in response, poked their rifles out, and aimed at the Japanese soldiers. Seeing the unguarded figures quickly entering the crosshairs, the corners of the soldiers' mouths couldn't help but show a bloodthirsty smile.
It's all a feat, but you can't let them run away.
The approach of the Japanese army made the Qing army more and more tense and hectic. No matter how the battalion officers and sentry officers shouted, it was simply impossible to form a rhythmic and orderly launch. Every soldier is bored with bullets and shoots, and there is basically no aiming for anything, and running out of bullets is their only thought.
Li Hongzhang was too fond of his army. Even if it is a new recruit who has just entered the battlefield, each person can share as many as 300 rounds of ammunition. Even if you let the butt recoil numb your shoulder, you won't be able to finish the fight!
The Japanese army on the opposite side was attacking with so many bullets, but the other side was still inaccurate, and no one knew where the bullets would fly ....... While gritting their teeth and cursing the waste of the Qing army, they rushed forward with more confidence.
One hundred meters!
The chaotic shouting of the Qing army and the chaotic sound of guns made Huang Lebo uncomfortable, irritable and unbearable, and shouted loudly: "His grandmother's, don't wait." Fire! ”
"Fire!"
"Hit!"
Orders from each platoon followed. More than a hundred soldiers who had been waiting for a long time scrambled to pull the trigger!
"Bang Bang Bang!"
The crisp sound of gunfire was indistinguishable in the confusion of the Qing army's position. The soldiers with their low and camouflaged steel helmets could not be noticed at all, and among the Japanese soldiers who were boldly approaching while firing, a string of blood suddenly burst out, and more than 20 people screamed or snorted, and fell headlong!
"Na mud? What's going on?! ”
Antaro Takenaka thought that his eyes were glazed, and hurriedly looked through the binoculars, thinking that after a while those people would stand up. But to his surprise, they weren't trying to dodge the bullets in front of them. Until the soldiers in the back followed, they were all motionless - they were killed!
Most of the Japanese troops who attacked with their heads did not see clearly, and they were also steaming from the same side, and when they got closer, they thought that their companions were evading. Just as he was about to aim for the front to shoot, another accurate bullet came in front of him, knocking down a dozen people again, and the screams and muffled snorts of some other people after being injured reminded the people next to them.
Why are there so many voices?!
One or two people are acceptably injured, three or five people may just be a coincidence. But a dozen or even dozens at once. This is definitely not an accident!
Seeing that something was wrong, the squad leaders and military caopers shouted orders one after another, and the Japanese army hulala and lay down. Nervous forward observation.
Bright red blood, exploding heads, unnaturally twisted short legs, struggling and wailing. This qiē proves that in just a few minutes, they have paid more casualties than almost all since the landing!
Takenaka Shaosa looks straight! When did the Qing army suddenly have such accurate marksmanship? Could it be that all the previous qiē were pretended to fool people?
No, it's not! There must be someone else at work, that terrible arm, they fired!
Under the horror, Takenaka Shaozuo's heart swelled with an inexplicable excitement. I've heard a lot of rumors before, saying how powerful they are, but now it seems that they are at least much stronger than the Qing army. But is it really unbeatable? You'll have to try it to find out.
He refreshed his spirits and gave instructions: "Order the artillery units to open fire immediately on the front battlefield, not to pursue lethality, to disturb their defenses as much as possible, and to create opportunities for the infantry to attack." ”
In this sortie, the 1st Division carried a wing of artillery, and because of the arduous task of the landing operation, the 1st Brigade was specially equipped with several more artillery pieces. Just behind the 1st Brigade, there were four 70mm bronze guns.
Before, they were not willing to use precious artillery shells to bombard the Qing army in the first place. Now it is necessary to go out, because the enemy in front of you is different!
Not only that, Takenaka Shaoza also ordered the squadron around him to immediately reinforce it, so that the strength of the front position increased sharply to nearly 500 people. Coupled with the feints on the flanks, more than 700 personnel were dispatched, and almost all of them were mobilized.
The soldiers of the black pressure quickly advanced to the front, and just as the artillery moved away from the bombardment, a burst of screams suddenly broke out, and the Japanese troops who moved to the front jumped up and rushed forward!
The snow-bright sword-shaped bayonet reflects the brilliance of the West, and with the agile impact posture of the little man of the short dundun, it releases a terrifying murderous aura forward!
The distance of less than 100 meters made the Qing soldiers feel an imminent danger, and they loaded and shot harder, hoping that they could grow a few more hands to help. But fortunately, no one turned around and ran away because of panic, messing up the truth.
Xu Bangdao couldn't help but move forward, almost in a dangerous area. He never understood why the New Army was so calm, and its shooting was slow and sparse from beginning to end, but it brought him a high kill rate of more than ten times. That's weird, isn't it?
Seeing the Japanese army swarming in, the ferocity of the momentum far exceeded that of the last time, his heart couldn't help but mention, is it so powerful, can it still be held?
Huang Lebo shouted: "It's you who are waiting!" Machine gun, open it to Lao Tzu! ”
Retreating some distance from the trenches, the machine-gun positions staggered in an inverted triangle formation suddenly opened fire!
"Suddenly! Sudden Sudden Rush! "The rhythmic long and short bursts, through the operation of the veteran skill, shoot out a series of continuous bullets. The outbreak of more than a dozen machine guns tore open the Japanese army's formation one by one, and the soldiers who stood up and attacked were caught off guard, and immediately the blood soared, the flesh and bones splashed, and the miserable howls came and went, resounding one after another!
In the trench, the squad leader and squad deputy who had been waiting for a long time appeared together, and the Bobosha in his hand took a slight aim, and kept shooting a rain of bullets, suppressing all the messy shots of the Qing army in an instant!
The Qing troops all over the ground are stupid! They fought for a long time and didn't see a few Japanese soldiers falling, and when they opened fire, the front was lying on the ground one by one like cutting wheat! What the hell is this means? Is the god possessed?
They didn't care about shooting, and looked at the Japanese soldiers who didn't know how many they didn't know, like eggs hitting their heads on a steel plate, and their flexible little bodies suddenly stiffened and immediately fell to the ground. I can't count how many there are at once!
As if he had been punched head-on, Antaro Takenaka stared in disbelief with round eyes and shouted frantically: "This is impossible! Where did they get such a dense mass of bullets?! No, it's not! This qiē is not right! And what about artillery? Hurry up and blast those guys out! (To be continued......)
