603 Rocket decapitation
Song Fan ordered the defenders of Yangzong Town to attack, but he felt uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Come on, prepare the horses, I will go to the battlefield in person." ”
The servant hurriedly advised: "My lord, the snitch is powerful, and if you go to the battlefield in person, I am afraid that there will be danger." ”
Song Fan's eyes widened, "The snitch is not an ordinary thief, the defenders of Yangzong Town may not be able to stop them, and the governor must personally go out." ”
Song Fan's servants did not dare to persuade him again, and hurriedly went to prepare the horses, and Song Fan knew that the situation was critical and that he had to block the Chinese army that was about to pass through Liangwang Mountain, so he decided to transfer troops from all other directions.
Song Fan arranged four defense forces in Kunming, which were divided into the headquarters, the east, the south and the north, of which the headquarters defenders were the troops stationed in Kunming, the eastern defenders were the troops stationed in Liangwangshan and Yangzong Town, and the western part of Kunming was an endless chessboard mountain, and the Chinese army could not get by.
Song Fan was guarding the town of Kunming, so he brought out all the defenders of Kunming, and ordered his subordinates to notify the defenders in the north and south to support Yangzong Town.
The defenders of the Song Domain in Kunming are full of 10,000 people, the defenders in Yangzong Town have 20,000 people, and the defenders in the north and south have 20,000 people each.
And the number of troops invested by Qi Lei is only 3,500 people.
When the defenders of Yangzong Town attacked on all fronts, Solaevsky had just led the rocket detachment to clear all the fortresses on the mountain road, and the Huaxia army was preparing to launch an attack formation, and the Qing army pounced.
Qi Lei frowned when he saw the Qing army that pounced up, in his impression, the Qing soldiers' charges were all swarms, like a group of sheep being driven, without any formation, as long as the enemy fired a gun, the Qing soldiers would scatter as birds and beasts.
But today's Qing army is different from the past, today's Qing army is divided into dozens of squads, each squad has about hundreds of people, and there is a distance of three or four hundred meters between each two squads, and there are many flags in each squad, and those flags are waved from time to time, and they are used for communication at a glance, but Qi Lei is not a person in the Qing army and does not understand the meaning of these waving flags.
Looking at the Qing army in each squad, it is not disorganized, they have forwards and guards, covering at all levels, echoing left and right, Qi Lei couldn't help but sigh lightly, I didn't expect that the Qing army was also elite.
Seeing that there were many Qing soldiers, Qi Lei decided to use the firepower of the Huaxia army to deter the Qing army first, in order to disrupt the Qing army's position and force the Qing soldiers to lose the will to resist.
Qi Lei immediately ordered: "All troops, immediately kill and wound the Qing army with firepower." Lin Fei paid great attention to the infantry's earthwork training, almost everyone in the army had a sapper shovel, the soil in Kunming was soft, and the individual bunker was easy to dig, and the soldiers hid in the bunker after digging the bunker and prepared to shoot.
Qi Lei also observed that the formation of the Qing soldiers was dense, which was convenient for the use of mortars, so he immediately ordered: "Artillery company, fire shells at the most dense places." ”
As soon as the order was given, the HP-1 mortar of the artillery company immediately fired shells, and the Qing soldiers underestimated the power of the mortars of the Chinese army, or rather, they did not estimate at all, the formation was very dense, and a mortar shell could blow down more than 30 Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground were centered on the explosion point and poured into a circle.
Although the Qing soldiers outside the circle were not blown down, they were also injured by the flying fragments, bleeding and wailing, and the Qing soldiers instinctively scattered their formations in order to avoid the shells, so that as soon as they dispersed, the whole army fell into chaos, and some shells blew up the command flag, and the attack of several Qing detachments came to a standstill.
Whenever there are Qing soldiers falling, it is the people around them who go to rescue, this is a taboo for the troops to charge, it is inevitable that someone will be shot and fall to the ground during the charge, if the people around them go to the rescue, the charging force will be sharply reduced, and the whole battle will fail.
In the army with slightly stronger combat effectiveness, the charge is tightly organized, the person in charge of the charge is only responsible for the charge, and there are special personnel responsible for treating the wounded.
Some detachments of the Qing soldiers came to a standstill, and some detachments left personnel to rescue the wounded, and the whole formation was in a mess, and this messy formation advanced to the front of the Huaxia Army, and was strafed by light machine guns.
Under the blow of mortars and light machine guns, the formation of the Qing soldiers began to disperse, and the "scattered" at this time was different from the "chaos" just now.
Qi Lei laughed, "Lao Tzu thought that he was encountering some kind of strong army, but he didn't expect it to be a soft egg, the first regiment and the second regiment defended in situ, and the third regiment charged to the right flank of the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers on the right flank were scattered the most, and they would definitely be broken by us." ”
The first regiment and the second regiment immediately began to connect the individual bunkers that had just been dug to form a trench, and the third regiment went straight to the right flank of the Qing soldiers, and the three regiments had more than 1,000 people.
The Qing soldiers on the right flank could not stop such an attack, and soon dispersed, and the mountains were full of Qing soldiers who threw down their weapons and fled, Qi Lei only found out at this time that the Qing soldiers did not all have guns, and the Qing soldiers with guns were only the first group of people, and the people in the back were all armed with big knives and spears, and even those with wooden sticks.
Qi Lei instantly understood that it turned out that these Qing soldiers were pulled up by Song Fan in order to make up the numbers, since this is the case, there is no need to worry, and he can win in one go.
Qi Lei was about to order the whole army to charge and completely defeat the Qing soldiers, when he suddenly saw the direction of Kunming, rising smoke and dust, and a large group of people pressed over like a black cloud, seeing that there were more than 10,000 people.
In the crowd, a big flag fluttered high, and the big flag was written with the word "Song", which was the handsome flag of the Qing soldiers, Qi Lei had seen it many times, and it turned out that these people were Song Fan and his Kunming defenders.
When the Qing soldiers who had fled saw the banner, the momentum of their escape weakened, and some even returned to the military formation.
When the Qing army in the middle saw the arrival of Song Fan in person, they immediately rushed to the right flank and fought with the three regiments of the Huaxia Army.
Song Fan had already seen that there were less than 5,000 people in the Huaxia army, and when he saw that his 20,000 people were scattered by the Huaxia army, he was annoyed and angry, and roared loudly: "Come on, behead all the officers above the battalion commander of the eastern garrison, and each battalion will be commanded by the deputy battalion. ”
As soon as the order came out, the Qing soldiers' hearts were shocked, in this era, the status of soldiers was extremely low, and the status of officers was quite high, officers were also officials anyway, enjoying the country's benefits, and making friends with high-ranking officials, which Qing soldiers did not want to become officers.
This is much better than directly handing out a silver reward, and the reward will always run out one day, and when you become an officer, you deduct military salaries, falsely report the number of people to eat empty salaries, and collect the protection of the rich...... There are countless ways to get the money, and the time when the silver is never spent.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, the Qing soldiers in the encouragement of the huge reward, do not rush to the position of the Huaxia army, this scene saw Qi Lei for a while, the Qing soldiers charged like this, their own troops must not be able to stop, because the number of Qing soldiers is too much.
Now what?
Qi Lei didn't think of a way, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the handsome flag of the Qing soldiers, the word "Song" on the handsome flag was particularly conspicuous, and a spiritual light flashed through Qi Lei's mind.
Qi Lei hurriedly shouted: "Solaevsky, Solaevsky, Solaevsky, hurry here." ”
Solaevsky was watching the battle not far away, he didn't launch rockets to fight the infantry, because the cost of rockets is very expensive, in the Chinese Empire, the basic price of a pound of rice is one yuan, floating in the price range of two cents, and the cost of a single soldier rocket is actually three million yuan, compared with artillery shells and bullets, it can be called a sky-high price.
Solaevsky won't use rockets to hit low-value infantry, Solaevsky ran to Qi Lei, and Qi Lei pointed to the handsome flag with his hand, "Solaevsky, can your rockets hit that handsome flag?" ”
Solaevsky raised his hand and measured the distance, more than two thousand meters, muttered and calculated for a while, then nodded and said, "I can almost hit it." ”
"Okay, shoot all your rockets, you can shoot as many as you can, and be sure to blow up that old Qing dog of the Song Fan into a meatloaf for me."
Solaevsky hesitated, in his mind, the enemy commander was not a high-value target, "Don't we have mortars, isn't it good to blow them up with mortars?" ”
"Mortars are all supporting infantry operations, I can't pull them out, now only your rockets can be used, don't say more, hurry up."
Solaevsky hurriedly said "yes", Solaevsky once said to Qi Lei that our rockets can hit targets 300 meters away, but this does not mean that the range of this rocket can only hit 300 meters, if the angle is adjusted appropriately, it is also possible to hit a range of 3,000 meters.
However, when the rocket hits a target 1,000 meters away, the landing point error will be relatively large, which requires Solaevsky to launch multiple rockets, with the lethality of this type of rocket, as long as one explodes 50 meters around the Song Domain, the Song Fan will die.
