【15o】Wind Blowing Red Flag Earth Flip (6)

Wang Zhengqi, who was behind the infantry position on the right side of the Qing army, was frightened by the sudden explosion and fell off the earthen platform, trembling and lying on the ground. Before he could calm down, the continuous explosions sounded even more deafeningly, and the artillery position of the Qing army, which had arranged 24 12-pounder guns, was half blown up, with heavy casualties, and the ground was covered with stumps and broken arms of the artillery, and the infantry battalion closest to the artillery position in the west was also unlucky, with more than 100 dead and wounded. 82 Forced a succession of accurate shots hit the projectile placed behind the artillery position, the sound of black powder explosion was endless, a few shells fell close to the Qing army camp, and the pine barracks with the thickness of the bowl mouth were also blown up, and the barked pine trees were smashed to pieces, falling in rows, and the ground was full of broken wood slag.

Wang Zhengqi lay on the ground anxious, and thought in shock: "The glue thief has a cannon!! And so accurate! ”

Not only did he think about it, but after being helped up by the deputy generals around him, he shouted: "Fire!" Kill the glue thief for me! ”

But the artillery positions were in disarray, and the surviving gunners and auxiliaries were fleeing backwards, leaving only corpses and groaning seriously wounded.

Yao Fan saw it in the telescope and shouted, "Gui Ba! Give me an extended shelling to the east! ”

"Yes!" Gui Ba, who was also holding a telescope to observe the landing point of the cannonball, roared.

"Hu Guangting! You teach the company to immediately assault the enemy's mid-lane artillery positions! Be careful to spread out and protect each other! Remember, find the weakest point to break through! ”

"Yes!"

"Luo Qiren! Take your second company to keep up with the first one! ”

"Yes!"

"The commander of the third company, Tu Wenfu, and the commander of the fourth company, Dabiao, follow in turn!"

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Yao Fan sent all of Li Hainiu's battalion out in one go. 24o stragglers spread like blue clouds and green mist towards the enemy line.

With the four doors of the 82 rushing and shooting! The explosion of 82-millimeter high-explosive anti-personnel shells on the Qing army's position rang out, the earth rumbled, and the clouds of gunsmoke and mushrooms rose into the air one after another, and the Qing soldiers cried wolf, and 24 extremely heavy 12-pounder front-loading smoothbore guns had all been blown up and overturned.

Then, the ammunition and black powder stacked by the Qing army on the side of the artillery were also detonated by the rain of mortar shells, and the continuous explosion was full of flames, and billowing black smoke came out of the center of the Qing army's position. The wounded Qing soldiers cried and crawled among the stumps and charred corpses on the ground.

The explosion was very shocking, and witnessing this scene, the formation of the four infantry battalions of the Qing army was chaotic, and the formation of the formation was shaking backwards, and everyone was worried.

Wang Zheng's legs weakened, and he fell down again in front of the earthen platform, kneeling on the ground like dead ashes, his bruised lips twitching, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak for a while.

Hu Yuanda, a staff general who gave advice to Wang Zhengqi closely, hurriedly came up to help him, and said urgently with a crying voice: "General! Our cannons are all over!! ”

After all, Wang Zhengqi has been in battle for a long time, and he knows that the more this situation is, the more he can't panic, he struggled to get up and shouted: "Don't panic!" Hold me firm! Ordered Wang Songhe to take the cavalry battalion to the back to escort the formation! Anyone who dares to take a step back from the battle will be killed! ”

But at this moment, the Qing army's morale is in turmoil, and more than 4,000 soldiers bravely see the Chinese army's mighty artillery position full of gunpowder smoke and explosions, how can they not panic? However, due to military law, one by one can only stand in place.

The sentinels of the battalions were all roaring: "The glue thieves are starting to come up!" Load your whole army and get ready to fire! Who dares to take a step back and kill !! ”

Due to the small muzzle flame of the 82 mortar, most of the Qing troops did not even have the location of the Yao Fan artillery position, and only saw the battalion of Li Hainiu in the middle approaching bravely.

Hu Guangting's teaching company, which was at the forefront of Li Hainiu's first battalion, was still more than 900 meters away from the Qing army's position, and the formation was extremely sparse, and the Qing army knew that to fight such an enemy, it had to put the distance within 300 steps. So the Qing army stood uneasy, stabbing gunpowder while anxiously waiting for the opponent to rush closer, and then implement the tactic of lining up and shooting, so as to beat the glue thieves into a sieve.

Xu Zixiang on the left wing of the Qing army and Wang Zhengtai on the right wing of the two cavalry battalions that came out of the front, were trotting at this time, intending to start the full impact when they approached 2oo meters.

Li Fangzhen is the sentry officer of the left wing Xu Zixiang cavalry battalion, he rushed to the front of the cavalry, brandishing a saber in his hand, more than 700 meters away, intimidating and demonstrating to the soldiers on Yao Fan's left flank, the snow bright sword light with his swing, skillfully shot into the enemy's eyes.

Li Fangzhen believed that before he could rush into the sparse front in front of him, the soldiers on the other side would flee in fright.

But suddenly, Li Fangzhen seemed to be bitten by something in his chest, and he felt unable to breathe in an instant, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth with the bumps of the horse, and his body suddenly softened, the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person lost his strength and lay on the horse's back.

At this time, the two sides of Yao Fan's tactics also began to slowly press on, while shooting at the two cavalry battalions that went out as if they didn't need money, and continued to fire at the cavalry in front with the advantage of five or six semi-automatic continuous firepower.

Some cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses, fell to the ground, broke their bones and tendons; Some of the cavalrymen were killed on horseback, lying motionless on their galloping horses, their swords and guns falling to the ground and the reins loosened. Horses were constantly being shot, neighing in pain as they stumbled and fell to the ground like a mountain of meat, tumbling and rolling.

The two cavalry battalions were stunned and began to pull their horses far away to change direction, intending to go around the outside of Yao Fan's two wings, and no longer dared to attack from the front.

Hu Guangting's teaching company had three platoons of 6o people, scattered in an area of fifty meters square from the front and back, and Luo Qiren's second company was closely followed behind them.

Seeing the two companies rushing up, Yao Fan continued to order:

"Li Hai Niu! Take Tu Wenfu three companies, Shuai Dabiao four companies, and keep up with the first two companies! The first battalion and four companies of the battalion trotted forward in a 'convex' shape, broke through the center of the Qing army according to the battle plan, and then outflanked the enemy on the flank according to the situation and tore the enemy from the center! ”

"Yes!"

"The second battalion, the second company, the third company, the third company, the second company, the third company, the fourth company, are all ready to fight!"

"Yes!" The company commanders shouted excitedly.

Yao Fan continued to observe the movements of the Qing army through his binoculars.

He saw that the infantry formation of the Yongying battalion had begun to be a little untenable, especially the right flank of the Qing army, because the mortar hit point was constantly moving to the right, and it appeared to be on the verge of collapse. The Huai infantry battalion closest to the artillery position, the left post kept moving to the right, and it was only necessary to flee with its legs.

In the face of the glue thieves who jumped like a mixture of blue and green smoke in the front, the infantry of the Yongying battalion were already a little weak in their feet, but the other party had not yet approached within 3oo steps, so they could only hold the foreign guns compacted with black powder one by one.

When a shell landed on the right flank of the artillery position, in front of the outpost position in the front row of the nearest infantry battalion, the Huai army of this battalion could no longer hold back, accompanied by the deafening explosion and gunsmoke, all shouted, a battalion of 500 people "T" shaped formation, the front T head was all blown up, the three outposts and the three receiving posts behind them fled backwards in a hurry, hoping to avoid the shelling, Yao Fan saw some soldiers still holding guns in their hands, Others simply threw their guns on the ground and jumped backwards like rabbits.

Wang Zhengqi himself was standing not far behind this battalion, and he really couldn't understand how the artillery fire of the rubber thieves could fall so fiercely and quickly, and the landing point was so accurate! The explosion was so powerful!

"The glue thief has at least 4o 32-pounder cannons! Otherwise, how could there be such continuous shelling! The explosion is so powerful! Wang Zhengqi cried to himself, as if he was accusing God of injustice.

The commander of the Huai Army's infantry battalion was frightened, shouting and scolding frantically, whipping the cowardly soldier with the whip in his hand, intending to regroup.

At this time, Gui Ba had already adjusted the new artillery landing point.

"Ruler O14, Ten Rapid Shots!" Gui Ba put down the binoculars and gave orders to the four artillery platoons. According to Napoleon's practice, Yao Fan prepared 300 spare shells for each cannon, a total of 12oo shells, enough for Gui Ba to squander.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "Four shells in a row exploded in a diamond shape in the position of the infantry battalion that had just collapsed, and the infantry battalion, which was just about to regroup, suddenly suffered more than two hundred casualties! Completely devastated! In the earth-shattering cry, the survivors threw away their rifles in a delirious manner, shouting "Defeat!" Defeated! "Run to the rear Qing army camp.

In the face of Yao Fan's right flank composed of the second battalion and the third battalion of the teaching company, and in the face of the strafing of eight machine guns and continuous long-range fire, Wang Zhengtai's cavalry battalion finally collapsed, and no longer dared to advance half a step, and all the survivors reined in their horses and ran back.

Yao Fan ordered Li Jun, the commander of the right wing, on the walkie-talkie: "All six platoons on the right flank are pressed to within 3oo meters for me, and the Qing army is under continuous pressure, don't stay where you are and snipe!" ”

"Yes!" Li Jun's answer was clear and powerful.

When the Wang Zhengtai cavalry battalion on the right flank broke and fled, the cavalry battalion of Xu Zixiang on the left flank could not hold on, and under the long-range high-density fire of three companies of the fourth battalion of Yao Fan's left flank, they gave up the plan of detouring to the flank, and retreated on the whole line.

Everyone could already see at this time that the Qing army was facing a situation of collapse on all fronts. Yao Fan's entire army of soldiers were as restless as caged beasts waiting to be fed, waiting for the order to attack,

Li Hainiu's battalion saw the Qing soldiers collapse, and the whole battalion ran towards the center of the Qing army with all their strength as if they had eaten guns and medicine, and finally approached the range of 3oo meters.

Hu Guangting yelled while running: "All machine gun crews give me cover!" Hit hard! Comrades! Come on! The Qing army is defeated! ”

Hu Guangting led a battalion of teaching companies to rush forward quickly, rushing to the junction of the smashed artillery position 3oo meters away from the right front and the collapsed Qing infantry battalion. Hu Guangting firmly remembered Yao Fan's words: "The breakthrough point must be chosen in the weakest place of the enemy!" ”

Seeing that the charge of the first battalion had gradually approached the position of the Qing army, a distance of about four hundred meters, Yao Fan immediately threw himself into the second, third, and fourth companies of the second battalion.

"Second Company Commander Liu Taibang, Third Company Commander Zhang Guangnan, Fourth Company Commander Gan Shicheng!"

"Here!"

"Keep me up with a battalion! Resolutely rush in from the breach and outflank the wings! ”

"Yes!"

The two battalions on the left flank of the Qing army and the remaining battalion on the right flank were constantly subjected to long-range fire from the stragglers of the 1st battalion of Li Hainiu who attacked in the middle of the road, and soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, and the formation was already in chaos! If it weren't for the sentry holding a steel knife to press the formation, desperately whipping a few fleeing soldiers with the back of his knife, and rolling them all over the ground, this battalion would probably have collapsed.

Whether it was the Green Battalion, the Eight Banners, the Huai Army, or the Hunan Army, he had a common problem -- his will to fight was extremely weak.

The Huai army can fight a good battle, but once it encounters setbacks, it will collapse.

When the range and lethality of the opponent's rifle are above their own, the morale of the army is already in chaos! After all, everyone is paid as a soldier, not to send them to death. The Huai army could not do it at all like the British lobster soldiers, the shells cut off the heads of the teammates around them, and they also approached the enemy in a neat line of shots. Under the dense fire of the Type 56 semi-automatic beads, the infantry battalion also began to keep people shot and fall, the entire position continued to retreat, and the sentinels were also frightened, hiding behind the infantry and constantly retreating.

The Huai army had already lost even the courage to charge with a white knuckle, and their will was already on the verge of collapse in the face of the most powerful rebels they had ever seen in their lives.

Seeing that the cavalry on both wings was beaten back, the will of the entire Huai army was already in danger. Suddenly, before Gui Ba's artillery shot fell point, the remaining infantry battalion on the right flank also collapsed, and the soldiers collectively turned around and rushed backwards like a tide, still shouting "Defeat!" Defeated! ……”

The Huai army on the left flank saw that all the cavalry had been beaten back, and the whole line of the right flank had collapsed, and only they were still standing on the front line, so they could not stand still, and trotted backwards, but they had not yet collapsed.

Yao Fan was not surprised at all by this, every time the 6th Army of the Qing Army encountered a foreign ** team, as long as the range of the opponent's rifle passed them, it would immediately collapse and flee. rg
