Chapter 160: Scarlet Krulen 6
In an instant, the line of defense organized by the hoplites was shot several times by the artillery of the Russians. After a burst of artillery fire, the archers behind him, including the heavy infantry, were also killed by at least one column of more than 20 people.
And some large-caliber artillery struck a saturation blow behind the shield line. The thunderous sound of the cannons, the shaking of the ground during the explosion, and the white smoke rising from the explosion caused the Eastern Mongolian tribes hiding behind the hoplites to mess around.
But at this time, the archers behind the heavy infantry did not care whether the roaring cannons would bring serious casualties to themselves, as if they did not know the explosion that shook the ground, and continued to shoot at the Russian soldiers.
Neiman watched the shells bloom in the hoplite formation on the opposite side, and looked at the rows of fallen soldiers, and did not make him rejoice at all, because the number of Soviet and Russian soldiers around him fell no less than the other side. In particular, the hanging shot of the opponent's archers is unavoidable, and the whistling arrow feathers are more palpitating than bullets!
With a salvo of artillery, while reloading, Neiman saw a sudden "wood" on the opposite position.
Yes, it's a woods, but it's all wooden poles, no leaves.
Behind the hoplites, huge trebuchets were erected, and when he saw the wooden poles erected, Neiman thought he was dazzled for a moment. But when he saw that 200 wooden poles were erected in more than half a minute, even if he wanted to order the artillery to stop it with artillery, he couldn't stop it.
These giant trebuchets threw large barrels of explosives of about 50 catties, and the targets were all artillery hiding behind the Soviet Russian army.
On this flat, but not wide, high land, such primitive "shells" began to reap the lives of Soviet and Russian gunners.
When 10,000 hoplites marched in a neat pace, forming a dense array with a depth of 8 rows and a frontal width of more than 1 kilometer, and approaching the Soviet Russian army with an indomitable momentum, the terrifying momentum of the Soviet Russian soldiers was in a commotion.
Neiman looked at the pressure brought by the other party and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, this is again, the classic tactics of Nogi Noshinori in the Russo-Japanese War, the way of playing with a sea of corpses......
Well, although the Russian soldiers are also called "gray cattle" in Europe, compared to these oriental yellow-skinned people, such a dense charge is really a drop in the bucket!
In the Crimean War, there was a record of 40 British troops in a platoon repelling 2,000 Russian troops in a white-knuckle battle. Therefore, as the main force in the Fifth Army of Soviet Russia, the bayonet training of the 35th Division has never been put down. Of course, there is no fool who does not use a gun and goes directly to the bayonet.
But the current situation is very unfavorable for the 35th Division.
One hundred and twenty steps...... One hundred steps...... Eighty steps......
Looking at the approaching enemy, Neiman picked up a Mosin-Nagant rifle from the ground, inserted a bayonet, stood under the red banner of the 35th Division and let out a hoarse voice: "For Moscow, advance!" ”
The nearly 10,000 remaining soldiers of the first echelon of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army shouted in unison: "Ula, Ula, Ula!" ”
The three "Ula" converged into a huge wave of sound like a storm crashing on the shore, which shook the Eastern Mongolian tribes and the servant army, but it was only a stagnation, because their backbones, the Timurid army and the Shubutai army, were still so silent, silently waving swords, carrying shields, drawing bows, and shooting arrows, as if nothing could stop them from advancing.
This silent answer is the best answer.
Regardless of the counter-charge launched by the third echelon of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army under the leadership of Neiman against the Shubutai Corps, all the Chechen divisions still followed behind their backbone.
At this moment, behind the 10,000 hoplites of the Shubu Taiwan Legion are tens of thousands of chaotic troops, including the archers of the Shubu Taiwan Legion, as well as the servant army and miscellaneous soldiers of the Eastern Mongolian tribes, although the Mongolian bow cannot be pulled at all in such extreme weather, the weather is too cold, and the bowstring will break as soon as it is pulled. But thanks to their participation, the infantry phalanx of the Chechen army attacking reached thirty or forty rows thick, and the impact was amazing. And the counter-charge launched by the Russian soldiers was on the verge of collapse under such a strong onslaught. Even the defensive line that carried them quickly crumbled in such a thick phalanx charge.
But the main force is the main force, even if it breaks through the defense line of the Soviet Russian army, it does not mean that the Soviet Russian army is eliminated. As the military commander, Neiman was protected by his personal guards, and although he was wounded at the moment, he still insisted on commanding the battle, and the Russian soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, hoping to form a defensive line again. The soldiers in the first few rows fought with bayonets and guns, and some brave men even held the long swords in the hands of the legionnaires of the Shubutai with their bare hands to buy time for the soldiers behind them to shoot; The Russian soldiers in the back row continued to fire until they ran out of bullets, and then rushed forward to plug the precarious holes in the defensive line.
They are so desperate not only because their commander Neiman, but also the Choibalsan detachment on their periphery, are also trying to get closer to them, at least for now, their hopes of victory have not been extinguished.
The infantry of the Shubutai Legion marched in unison, holding a two-handed long sword of more than a meter and attacking forward, slashing from the upper left corner to the lower right corner in unison. Whether it's a bayonet, a gun, or a person's torso, it's all cut off!
And behind the Russian soldiers fighting in the first row, there will constantly be black guns coming out to kill the heavy infantry who are struggling to kill.
The book desk looked at the heavily armored soldiers who were constantly falling next to the black guns, and was so anxious that he ordered to shoot!
That's right, it was shot, but not the musketeers behind the heavily armored soldiers, because they had already fired. The book desk is letting the heavily armored soldiers fire at the moment, how can the samurai with a sword in both hands fire?
If this was before the capture of Nebuchu, Zhao Yun also thought it was impossible, but in Nebuchu's Bujing Palace, Timur and they found something interesting.
Tomahawk reed wheel gun!
It's a strange thing, but this thing has been around since the 16th century. It is a combination of a tomahawk and a musket.
If it is said that the bayonet on the rifle of later generations is mainly long-range combat, supplemented by hand-to-hand combat. Then the tomahawk reed wheel gun is mainly based on hand-to-hand combat, supplemented by long-range combat, and the principle is similar to the dagger gun of the later Celestial Empire. Since this is a technology that existed in Europe in the 16th century, the camp did not open its mouth to it, and it only cost a small amount of money to make all the originally melee units gain some ranged attack capabilities.
Tomahawk reed wheel gun! Spear spring wheel gun! Two-handed heavy sword spring wheel gun! Mace reed wheel gun! …….
Of course, the use of these weapons is far from turning the tide of the battle, after all, the battlefield is densely packed with people at the moment, and they just kill the opponent by surprise. For this reason, the book department took out a batch of large-caliber weapons specially prepared by Zhao Yun for him.
Swarm!
This was originally a multi-barreled guard weapon used on river transport vessels. 4 in a row, 3 columns, 12 200 mm "special fireworks" for one. Nicknamed a swarm of bees, also known as a hundred tigers running together.
It was made by Zhao Yun at the request of the fireworks master in Liuyang. Each transport ship carries 20 units, two rows of five columns on each side, and ten seats are a swarm of bees.
The firing range is 50-250 meters, and the shooting accuracy is about 45 degrees, and it is normal to have a shooting accuracy of about 45 degrees, and 60 degrees to the left and right.
It belongs to the kind of fireworks that do not know the range and direction after launching, but it is guaranteed that it will not fly backwards.
One shot, one 12-tube fired sequentially, two rows of 10 seats can fire 120 shots at a time.
Because the Shubu Taiwan Legion was fighting against the Soviet Russian infantry this time, Zhao Yun did not support them in some of the heavy weapons used by the infantry. Even this weapon, which had never been tried, was allocated to the book department.
However, most of them fire ordinary shells, that is, ordinary fireworks shells.
Don't think that ordinary fireworks are not powerful. This firework has to fly high and explode far away to have a good viewing effect. Therefore, in addition to filling a large amount of gunpowder for firing and exploding, there are also some special substances in the fireworks bomb, and only in this way can a good performance effect be achieved. For example, the 200 mm diameter pyrotechnic bomb equipped with the book desk will explode at a distance of about 200 meters after it is launched, and the radius covered by the explosion can be about 80 meters, which means that those special substances will be stained within 160 meters.
Don't underestimate these special substances that exploded, they are not toxic substances, just various special metal materials, but their temperature is not low. When they shine, they can reach temperatures of over 1000°C! For example, aluminum, magnesium, etc. When aluminium is burned, it emits a lot of heat and can even melt iron (melting point of about 1500°C). Even when the residue of the fireworks falls to the ground, the internal temperature can reach 300°C, which is by no means just "a little hot". So in such high temperatures, it is completely impossible for the Soviet and Russian soldiers of the opposing side to shoot normally.
And all the book station needs is harassment, and some nasty Russian archers will have archers and elite musketeers to deal with it.
But a lot of things are changed by small people, as a Russian soldier hurriedly took out a grenade and threw it hard into the black heavy infantry ranks, the "boom! A loud bang alerted all the Russian soldiers who had grenades.
At this time, grenades were still a relatively rare item in the Soviet Russian army in the Far East, and not every soldier in this Soviet army had it. Only those reckless men who are powerful and powerful can still be assigned some to form a grenadier group. At this moment, I don't care whether to keep it in Manchuria or Chita in the future, and many people throw it out.
"Boom! Rumble! One after another, loud noises were thrown into the dense crowd of chargers, and immediately cleared up pieces of open space, blowing up the flesh and blood of those Mongolian soldiers, and people were also flying all over the sky. Even the hoplites in the front row were held by the Russians with grenades, and a lot of them were hung up together. You must know that those Soviet Russians are not one or two, but five or six in a bundle, which is comparable to a small explosive barrel in the hands of a ruiner.
Some heavy infantry with little HP were wiped out by these indiscriminate attacks. However, after all, there were not many of these grenades, and such counterattacks only lasted for two or three waves, and the grenade offensive of the Soviets and Russians was not so intensive.
The grenades of the Russians provoked the modified grenadiers of the spear-throwers in the Timurid regiment, and the grenade offensive of the Russians stopped for a while, and the grenade rain in the Shubutai army began a retaliatory attack.
One by one, the black and flickering grenades continued to fall into the Soviet Russian army, so that the Soviet Russian soldiers who had just taken advantage also tasted the grenade rain.
At this time, the Soviet Russian soldiers, who had fought a civil war for several years, where did they have time to train, and it was good to throw grenades, but they did not have the idea and courage to catch them like lightning and throw them back.
Generally, when you see a black grenade falling from the sky, you either lie down or run away. Except for those who dodged and escaped in time, the area affected by the grenade explosion was a mixture of blood and gunsmoke.
