Chapter 45: The Prancing Horse Central Plains (1)

In today's China, the army only has a 150 heavy artillery mark, and it still belongs to the Praetorian Guard. In the Wuchang crisis, the Beiyang Army could not move this artillery mark. The 75-caliber artillery is considered the largest caliber support artillery for the domestic infantry today.

Wang Yujia is an expert, listening to the dense range of the falling bullets, he said movingly: "At least one cannon mark!" "The 75 guns equipped by the Beiyang Army are mostly German-made camp guns or Schneider mountain guns, and most of them are withdrawn guns, and the rate of fire cannot be compared with the latest mountain guns equipped by the Anhui Army, so even if Wang Yujia is an expert, he has heard the wrong scale.

As he was talking, a call came from the front asking for help, and Wu Jinbiao said that he had encountered a large-scale artillery bombardment by the People's Army and was organizing a counterattack. Ask for reinforcements in case of a counterattack. At the same time, it was pointed out that the artillery of the People's Army was outside the range of the artillery of the Beiyang Army, which showed that the People's Army was equipped with a more advanced artillery.

Feng Guozhang is not too worried, even if the Anhui army can fight, the Beiyang Army is not bad. Moreover, the Anhui army is only a mixed association, and there are still three or four thousand troops in front, and it is not a problem to defend one for a day or two.

"It seems that we have to give these Anhui green skins a little color." Feng Guozhang said to himself, Wang Yujia was not so relaxed on the side, but a little worried.

"Your troops immediately launched an attack on the front line of Xianghe Black Mountain, broke through the line of Black Mountain, and surrounded the Green Skin Army from the flank. Call Li Chun back and tell him that there are no reinforcements, and he will drag the Green Skin Army to me. ”

Feng Guozhang calmly gave the order, Wang Yujia thought about it, and still reminded: "It's better to let Wang Zhanyuan send a target to support Li Chun." After all, Li Chunbu suffered a loss in front of the green skin. ”

Feng Guozhang pondered again and again and nodded.

Ma Jizeng was not at ease ahead, and took the guards to the position of Guodi Mountain. Ma Jizeng knows the strength of the Green Skin Army, and if he loses again this time, he is afraid that he will be cut off by Lord Feng. The last time he was defeated, Feng Guozhang wanted to shoot Ma Jizeng and Zhang Jingyao, but Li Chun pleaded hard. Only then did the names of the two people be saved.

The Qing army had about 1,000 men on the position on Guodi Mountain, and after half an hour of artillery fire, the casualties on the position were close to 10%. This is also the loss of the last time. This time, after Zhang Jingyao took the pot bottom mountain, he did not let the soldiers rest immediately, but dug the fortifications first.

Be that as it may, half an hour of shelling down. Between the dense rain of bullets, it was like being in hell.

Before dawn, the Greenskins had already launched the first wave of attacks, taking advantage of the cover of the morning to quickly approach the first line of positions. Zhang Jingyao carried a war knife. Walk around and cheer up your brothers.

Even so, Zhang Jingyao, who set up three lines of defense, was still very unexpected.

In just ten minutes, the first line of positions was broken through. Zhang Jingyao didn't even react to how the position was lost. There were two whole teams of people on the position, more than 200 guns, and two Maxims. After the last shelling. Zhang Jingyao learned some lessons. It is more concealed when arranging machine gun emplacements.

But it's not much better, it's still on the front. Maxim's suppression did work, and even when they were scattered, the attacking troops suffered casualties from the machine-gun suppression. However, the machine gun did not last long before it was knocked out.

This time the machine gun was knocked out, not by the role of the mortar, but by the blocker who followed the cover.

There are a total of four blockers like Liu Erjiang. They fell behind the line in pairs. The purpose was clear, that is, to knock out the machine-gun fire points of the Beiyang Army. Shoot the officer.

Liu Erjiang, a native of Shuangqiao, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, was born as a farmer. Liu Erjiang's good harpoon can lightly carry the black harpoon hidden in the water. A flood washed away Liu Erjiang's home, more than 1,000 people gathered in the county town to grab food, and the patrol battalion opened fire. Liu Erjiang fled and went up the mountain to become a bandit. Probably because of his good eyesight, Liu Erjiang's shooting results came up quickly. Once someone came to Wuhu City, Liu Erjiang, who had a good academic performance in the night school, was selected and followed to Wuhu outside the city to receive a very special training. Liu Erjiang is not afraid of hardship, but he is afraid that the officials and soldiers in Wuhu will not want him. In Wuhu, the food is called a good one, and the braised pork tube is enough. When I first arrived in Wuhu, let alone eating braised pork, I couldn't bear the smell of it.

In order to be able to eat meat all at once, Liu Erjiang worked extra hard. More than 300 people were trained, most of them were eliminated, and in the end, only about 100 people remained. If Liu Erjiang hadn't had any education, his grades would have been in the top ten. But when it comes to marksmanship, he's number one.

Holding a blocking rifle with a scope, Liu Erjiang felt very kind when he saw this thing for the first time. I think I can know what this gun wants to do, and the team requires that no matter what I do every day, the gun can't be separated from my body. Liu Erjiang slept with this gun.

After a year of training, Liu Erjiang became the first batch of blockers. In the last battle, Liu Erjiang didn't catch the battle because of the wind and cold. I turned around and listened to a few of my companions bragging, and choked him enough.

So this time, Liu Erjiang held back his strength and must fight hard.

As soon as the Makqin machine gun on the position began to strafe, it was targeted by Liu Erjiang. The other group also targeted, but they didn't knock it out a few times. Liu Erjiang observed carefully in the hideout, silently calculated in his heart, and the hideous faces of the Qing army in the scope became his target.

Lock! Pull the trigger! The Heavy's skull became a watermelon pulp. Locked, pulled the trigger, and knocked out the two replacement machine gunners, making the machine gun completely dumb.

Losing the suppression of the machine guns, the vanguard commando of the first battalion rushed to thirty or forty meters in front of the formation, grenades were greeted, the smoke did not clear, and the assault team had already climbed up to attack, but in the blink of an eye, the assault team rushed to the first line. Each man had a box gun, and the regiment commander concentrated the use of all the box guns of the whole regiment, and by the way, he also borrowed the submachine guns of the baggage battalion.

This kind of firepower entered the position, but in the face of the screams of the Qing army and the rain of bullets, personal martial arts were meaningless.

The Qing army was beaten and overwhelmed, some of them surrendered directly to their knees, and more than 100 people fled, and the commandos then pursued fiercely.

Facing the Green Leather Army again, Zhang Jingyao once again had that irresistible taste. This group of greenskins fights, you don't know how fierce he is, but it's really bad! The assault team rushed forward like an awl, tearing open the gap and immediately pouring in to follow.

What's even worse is the strange light machine gun, which is called more than one, and the noise is non-stop, and the head can't be lifted up on the pressed position. The Beiyang Army is known as the first in the country, and it has always pressed others. It's okay to say that I lost last time, but I was caught off guard. This time, after making enough preparations, I was still beaten and couldn't find the north.

An hour after the attack was launched, the second line of positions was also breached. Zhang Jingyao had no choice but to run around and supervise the battle desperately. After finally laying the second line, the Greenskins' offensive weakened slightly and gradually paused. Zhang Jingyao didn't have time to catch his breath. Someone in the back asked, "How?" So many people have taken such a position, how can they be beaten like this? ”

Zhang Jingyao turned around, startled and said, "Master Ma, why did you come up." ”

It was Ma Jizeng who spoke, and he arrived with a battalion of reinforcements. Seeing that there was only a small piece of peak left in the position of the bottom of the pot, I was surprised enough. Last time, Ma Jizeng was coerced by the defeated soldiers and retreated, and he was very unconvinced. This time, I was also holding back a lot of energy, wanting to be ashamed. I didn't want to go up to the position to take a look, and I was dumbfounded.

"It's not that the brothers don't work hard, it's that the green-skinned army is fighting tricky." Taking advantage of the suspension of the Anhui army, Zhang Jingyao hurriedly reported the process. Finally, he said, "Since you are here, let's take a look." Fortunately, reinforcements arrived, and the morale of the brothers also rose. ”

As soon as the words fell, the whistling sounded. "Shelling, hurry up and cover up! Pull the adults down. Zhang Jingyao dragged the horse to the back, and along the way, several shells exploded dozens of meters away. Fortunately, the target of the Green Leather Army was on the position, and Ma Jizeng was able to retreat safely. But he insisted on coming back and found a hidden place to watch the battle.

This time, the Anhui army fought more ferociously, and the barrage Xu Jin! This trick was summed up by the French after suffering countless losses in World War I, and the Anhui army used it in advance.

Ma Jizeng witnessed an unprecedented assault battle, and the Green Skins rushed forward in a straggler formation. With little resistance, they fell to the ground and counterattacked, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and rained down fire. The Beiyang Army on the hill fired desperately, and several Makqin spewed out tongues of fire, and just suppressed the momentum below, the machine gun position was immediately hit.

Ma Jizeng saw the brains of one machine gunner splash, and as soon as the other machine gunner went up, a shell fell. With a bang, this machine-gun position was scrapped. Ma Jiqiang endured the fear in his heart and held a telescope to look at the greenskin army under the mountain.

Tongues of fire flew upwards one by one, and there were acquaintances with Makqin firing, and there were also individual machine guns that they didn't recognize. There are also some iron pipe cannons, which can be clearly seen in the telescope, and those green skins put cannonballs into them, making a thump knock sound!

The counterattack of the Beiyang Army cannot be said to be fierce, and the Greenskins constantly fell, but they were not frightened at all, one person fell, and immediately someone followed. There were also some soldiers carrying boxes on their backs, rushing to the wounded soldiers and bandaging them briefly, and then retreating with the wounded soldiers on their backs, and some people could be seen carrying stretchers.

Ten minutes later, this attack was beaten again. Ma Jizeng breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Jingyao came to report the results of the battle, a battalion that had just arrived, and a team of soldiers that had just been put in, had lost more than half. Needless to say, the machine guns were all knocked out.

Ma Jizeng gasped, he didn't see it with his own eyes, how could he believe that this battle could still be fought like this? The first elite Beiyang Army in China, it is so tiring to defend itself, is it better to attack?

"No, this situation must be reported immediately." Ma Jizeng quickly wrote a text and sent one of the guards around him back to deliver the letter. As soon as the guards left, the whistling began again.

When Ma Jizeng secretly complained in his heart, he suddenly turned around and saw the fire in the direction of Meiniang Mountain behind him, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good!" ”(。 If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
