Chapter 491: The most cruel and the most tested

The shells are still flying. But he crossed the front-line position and blasted towards the Niangniang Temple. In the position, Liu Fang shouted loudly while trotting, and the soldiers drilled out of the anti-artillery holes one by one and lay on the trench, the rifles in their hands had been loaded with bullets, and they could meet the enemy who rushed up at any time.

At this time, the attacking Qing soldiers were already suffering from mortar shells.

Shells exploded in the ranks of the Qing army. The landing point was immediately blooming with a lot of bright blood flowers. Both the offensive and defensive sides are facing the threat of each other's firepower, and war is a more tragic game than anyone!

Everyone is enduring blows and casualties, and whoever dies more and who can't bear it first loses!

There is no doubt that in the mode of warfare of this era, the proportion of casualties of the Qin army as the defending side was far less than that of the Qing army on the attacking side.

When the soldiers of the Qing attacking troops braved the shells to charge, when they approached the battle line for about 300 meters, the four heavy machine guns and four mortars on the first-line positions of the Qin army began to become the main force of defense.

The heavy machine gun fired a constant burst of fire, and once hit, it had to fall down. However, the officers of the Qing army were not fools, and they knew that a rash attack would inevitably be intercepted by dense heavy machine gun fire. Therefore, in the attack, falling to the ground and prostrate is a necessary action. As soon as the Qing army made this 'obscene' action, the British flavor that permeated them immediately disappeared.

Although the general training in the European armies is still the same as it was during the Franco-Prussian War. However, skirmishing and crawling forward are essential subjects in recruit training.

For the European military circles, the war that took place in the far east may not have much reference value, but the Russian-Turkish war that happened under their noses must be paid attention to.

This war started more than half a year later than in the history of the original plane. At the same time, the Turkish army also supported one year longer than in the history of the original time and space. Not counting the year after the 'half a year' when the war broke out late!

Among them, the 'Battle of Plevin', which was the turning point of the war, changed from four battles with the Turkish army in four months in the original time and space, and finally forced the surrender of the 30,000 Turkish defenders in the city, into six battles that lasted for more than a year. In three of these battles, the Russian army lost more than a third of its soldiers.

Looking at the whole war, it is clear why the time has become prolonged, and the reason is clear.

The Turkish army, which had been on the defensive for most of the time, made good use of the 'experience' of the eastern theater, with trenches and forts and barbed wire and heavy machine guns. This war is simply a shadow of the First World War in the original time and space, or the cruelty of the battle is comparable to the Russo-Japanese War.

The Russian army eventually won battle after battle. But they lost more troops, more munitions, paid a greater price and money, and took a longer time. The Russian Empire is now really exhausted.

The terrible screams echoed faintly in the sound of explosions and the clicking of heavy machine guns!

The Qing soldiers who rushed towards the opposite side were knocked down one after another, but the rest continued to charge!

The charging Qing soldiers were also fighting back with rifles, but their marksmanship was terrible. The click of four heavy machine guns reaped the lives of one Qing soldier after another. At this time, the Qin army's trenches were also stirring up smoke and dust, which was the Qing army's heavy machine guns returning fire. A storm of bullets like fire was fired back and forth on the trench bunker, and a Qin soldier was hit in the head, and his entire head was instantly destroyed by the bullet like a ripe watermelon......

This attack of the multi-army was quickly defeated by the Qin army on the front line. There was only one squadron of Liu Fang, and even the main force of the brigade behind him was not used.

"Withdraw! Hurry back to the bomb hole! ”

Liu Fang shouted loudly. As an experienced lower-level officer, Liu Fang has no shortage of vigilance when the heavy firepower is not enough. On the other side, Wang Mingyi was also directing his subordinates to move all four mortars into specific anti-artillery holes.

Within half an hour, the bombardment of shells landed on the position again.

A shell landed near a heavy machine-gun fortification made of iron plates, logs and sandbags, and although the shock wave of the explosion was not large, a piece of shrapnel flew in through the firing port, reaping the lives of two heavy machine-gun soldiers in succession. The first of the shooters to be hit had most of his neck cut off, and his head was hanging on his flat neck with a layer of flesh......

The deputy shooter reached out and touched the blood splashed on his face, and then opened his eyes wide to look at the already stunned ammunition hand next to him, and he shouted: "Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and carry the body down!" You fill in! ”

Jiao Wenbin once again came down from the hidden command observation trench, his face was deep.

Artillery, artillery! The difference in firepower between the two sides is too great.

However, he didn't let people contact the general headquarters, because he knew that he had just thinned his lips, and Liu Xian would not be able to conjure up a cannon for himself.

Besides, what do the Marines do? Isn't it just to land on the beach, and then overcome the difficulties and firmly nail to the beachhead? If there is a difficulty, he will reach out to the back to ask for support, why did Liu Xian still form a Marine Corps?

It's much better than a soft sand beach right now!

On the front line, the multi-army finally rushed to the front. Under the cover of superior artillery fire and under the strict supervision of the officers, they rushed directly to a position 200 meters away from the position amid the sound of artillery, and the Qing army's artillery bombardment came to an end.

Liu Fang's squadron naturally couldn't hold on, and the main force of the brigade was already marching along the traffic trench towards the front line.

The Lao Mu Temple, which was established during the Ming Dynasty, covers an area of more than one acre, has been wiped out in the artillery fire.

As the forefront of the defense of the Qin army, as the first target of the multi-army counterattack, the Marine Corps was under great pressure. At the forefront of the battle line here, at the fiercest place of contention, the battle was very fierce.

Liu Fang's arm was already wrapped in a white bandage at this time, and his face was stained with the blood of not knowing whether it was himself or his comrades, and in his sight, the Qing soldiers dozens of meters away had already stood up again, and then rushed towards him.

"Grenade ready!"

A few seconds later, thirty or forty grenades were thrown, and then although many of the Qing soldiers on the opposite side fell, there were still hundreds of people who continued to rush resolutely towards the battle line. Wang Mingyi commanded the only two mortars left, bombarding them with all their strength at the minimum range. His face was already hideous, and he didn't care about his safety, stepped on the ammunition box, straightened up and held a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, and poked half of his body out of the trench.

"Bayonet ready!"

The second lieutenant squad leader of a squad yelled.

The deputy captain of the squadron has been seriously injured and carried off the position, and the instructor has been killed, and there is this second lieutenant squad leader to serve as Liu Fang's deputy.

A bayonet with a bright handle was loaded into the card slot. The Qing soldiers on the opposite side are closer. Another grenade was dropped, and Liu Fang was the first to jump up from the trench with a machete, "Brothers, kill me!" ”

Heavy machine guns on both sides have ceased fire. The Qing army was afraid of injuring their own army by mistake, and the Qin army was broken and ran out of bullets.

So hand-to-hand combat is inevitable.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps formed a triangular formation unique to the Qin army and rushed down against the Qing army. The sound of the pistol was also ringing in my ears.

Screams and screams, blood stains flowed down the wounds, soaking the land that had caused countless people to die.

There seemed to be a dead silence all around, and the Qing soldiers opposite Liu Fang could no longer hear any sound in their ears, and all his will was glaring at Liu Fang in front of him. With both hands, he grabbed the large knife that had pierced his chest, feeling the pain as the blade was pulled out of his body little by little. Qing Bing covered his chest with both hands, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out, he didn't even have the strength to stand on his heels, and he stumbled and half-knelt down, but his head still raised and looked at Liu Fang in front of him, and his eyes showed disbelief.

One moment he was expecting that he would be able to kill an officer of the Qin army, but the next moment his rifle was broken into two sections, and then he was stabbed through the body by his opponent.

The strength passed away with the loss of blood, and when his blood stained the ground under him, he couldn't even maintain this half-kneeling posture, and it was difficult to open his eyelids anymore, and at this time Liu Fang in his eyes had already turned around, shouting loudly, waving a machete and killing another Qing soldier.

He couldn't see the next situation anymore, he closed his eyes, his body gradually fell to the ground, and the originally cold ground seemed to become warmer, which was the temperature of his blood.

On the other side, Wang Mingyi also killed his opponent with a loud roar, his pistol had already run out of bullets, and Wang Mingyi didn't have time to reload.

In the duel of courage, Wang Mingyi had the last laugh, so this time he also had the last laugh in the bayonet fight.

As soon as he pulled out the muzzle bayonet from the chest of the Qing soldier, he saw a Qing soldier raise the bayonet from Liu Fang's back, and Wang Mingyi shouted anxiously: "Be careful! ”

Being reminded like this, Liu Fang's body was slightly on one side, and the bayonet pierced directly through the edge of his abdomen, although he was not stabbed, it was still so painful that Liu Fang couldn't help but let out a miserable scream. It's just a scream, he still used all his strength when he was injured, waved the long knife in his hand and swept it back, and when he looked back, the Qing soldier who attacked him from behind had already covered his neck and fell to the ground.

Liu Fang's military uniform was already stained with blood, both from the Qing army and his own.

Fang Cai's fight had consumed too much of his strength, and now he had been stabbed, even if it was not a vital point, the blood flowed, and he had no strength to continue fighting. He panted and tried to stand, but a stumble in his footsteps made him almost fall, the knife was stuck in the ground, relying on the strength of the blade support, Liu Fang was half-kneeling on one foot. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't stand up, so he could only gasp and look ahead. Right around him, two or three hundred enemy soldiers were fighting hard, and in every breath someone was hit and fell. No matter how many pistols the Qin army was equipped with, there were also soldiers who fell to the ground.

Hand-to-hand combat between infantry with bayonets is the most brutal mode of warfare in modern warfare, and it is also the most testing mode of combat effectiveness of troops. R1152
