Chapter 931: Bombing!
The commander of the cavalry regiment could see this, and the commander-in-chief of the new army certainly saw this.
However, the commander-in-chief did not order the troops to withdraw because the next attack was to be killed.
In his opinion, even if he ordered the remaining troops to retreat, as long as they did not escape the effective range of the muskets, they would still not be able to avoid the fate of being killed. Since retreating is death, and continuing to attack is also death, why not go to the front to block the lead bullets of the follow-up attacking troops, and make a little contribution before dying......
Therefore, the chief soldier with a murderous face followed the order without thinking about it: "Mr. Zhou Qian, immediately take your people and rush forward...... Take advantage of the time that the brother in front of you will give you to block the lead bullet, get as close as possible to the Haw Par Army line, and destroy him with a grenade......"
When the order was given, the faces of the two subordinates showed completely different expressions.
Wang Qianzong, who had few subordinates left, looked at the chief soldier with a desperate expression, almost not believing his ears.
Because, the issuance of this order directly means that on the battlefield, hundreds of soldiers who are still alive will face the end of the annihilation of the entire army.
And Mr. Zhou Qian's face showed a surprise smile from the heart.
Because, the general soldier now allows himself to attack, which is no different from giving himself military exploits.
In his opinion, as long as he hurried up, by the time the Tiger and Leopard Army eliminated the remaining hundreds of brothers on the battlefield, the 1,000 elites under his command had already rushed to the position of gathering the Tiger and Leopard Army's defense line thirty or forty steps.
When the time comes, as long as the soldiers under his command throw one or two rounds of grenades at the defense line of the Haw Par Army, many of the people who were guarding the defense line will suffer heavy losses even if they do not die.
And with a thousand elites under his command, he can rush to the defense line of the Tiger and Par Army with minimal casualties. With the advantage of troops, eliminate the tiger and leopard army on the defense line and win the battle.
It's just that. In this way, he offended Mr. Wang Qian on the side. Because, the battle exploits that can be obtained in this instant were obtained by stepping on the corpses of a thousand soldiers under the command of President Wang Qian.
Even if this order was given by the general soldier, Wang Qian would put his hatred on himself, the Qian general who benefited the most.
However, the benefits that this feats may bring to themselves are too great. One is not good. After returning to Nanjing City, he will be promoted to deputy chief soldier because of this military exploit.
When the time comes, even if Wang Qian is full of hatred for himself, he will not care.
After all, his official position has surpassed him. At that time, she doesn't need to provoke herself, she will clean him up.
Thinking of this, as soon as he touched his firm expression, it directly appeared on Zhou Qian's face.
After showing an apologetic smile to Wang Qian, who was full of despair and despair on the side. replied decisively.
"Please rest assured, if the last general can't take the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he will cut off his own head......"
When there were still more than 200 remnants of the New Army in front of the defense line of the cavalry regiment, the elite of the 1,000 New Army, like a tiger descending from a mountain, rushed towards the defense line with a roar from the starting position more than 200 steps away from the battlefield.
By the time the cavalry commander finally reacted, the thousand new army had already rushed through a distance of thirty or forty paces in a short time.
Faced with the sudden changes in front of you. The commander of the cavalry regiment was immediately taken aback.
However, he still reacted immediately. And see the specific purpose of the opponent in doing so.
While a trace of gloom quickly flashed on his face, he decisively ordered: "Artillery, concentrate fire, slow down the attack speed of the enemy's follow-up troops...... Others, give me the shortest time to destroy the enemy in front of me. If you can use a grenade, give me a grenade. ”
The incessant artillery fire of more than a dozen mortars did indeed play a somewhat harassing role in the follow-up troops sent by the General Command of the Forces nouvelles. However, it is almost impossible to really stop them, after all, the battlefield is so big.
So. When the cavalry regiment, with more than 200 casualties, finally ate the first round of attack on its own 1,000 new troops.
The follow-up troops of the New Army, which had only lost more than 100 men, had already rushed to the position where they were only sixty or seventy paces away from the defensive line.
The remaining eight or nine hundred men of the cavalry regiment, even if they are all battle-hardened veterans. In the face of the enemy who was close at hand, he couldn't help but show a hint of panic.
However, the order of the regiment commander still allowed them to react from the panic as soon as possible.
Use your speed to shoot buckshot forward.
However, the enemy, which has more than eight hundred, is too close to the defense line...... Even if everyone desperately shot lead bullets forward, some people still had no way to stop the enemy's attack with muskets in their hands, even if the barrel had been red because of the continuous shooting.
The remaining five or six hundred new army musketeers in front of the defensive line, as if they could not be killed, rushed directly to a position less than forty paces away from the defensive line.
At this time, whether it was used for attack or defense, the sharp weapon grenade was already in the hands of the new army musketeers......
Faced with this situation, the commander of the cavalry regiment can be said to be in his eyes and anxious in his heart, but there is nothing he can do.
At this moment, what he could do was to order his cavalry to also take out the grenades and throw them at the new army of the imperial court, to see who could not withstand the huge damage caused by the explosion of the grenade cluster first.
"Throw grenades......" On the battlefield where the gunfire was incessant, the officers of both sides shouted this order almost simultaneously.
As a result, four or five hundred grenades emitting white smoke smashed towards the defense line of the Tiger and Par Army as if it were raining.
Compared with the new army of the imperial court, which has only been trained for a long time, but does not have much actual combat experience. The cavalry regiment was obviously much more clever in the use of grenades.
More than seven hundred, a little later than the new army of the imperial court threw out.
Although the grenades thrown by the new army of the imperial court landed first, these grenades did not explode immediately...... Some of the officers and men of the cavalry regiment who reacted quickly even had time to pick up the grenade and throw it far out of the defensive line.
In the end, there were two or three hundred grenades that actually fell into the defense line of the Haw Par Army and exploded.
However, because these grenades exploded on the ground, and the moment the grenades exploded, almost all the officers and men of the cavalry regiment lay on the ground. As much as possible to avoid the damage caused by the fragments of the grenade, after the grenade exploded, there were as many as four or five hundred people who could finally stand up.
And the grenades thrown by the cavalry regiment were different, because of the short stay of the grenades in their hands, hundreds of grenades, without exception, all exploded above the heads of the new army of the imperial court.
Therefore, after the grenade exploded, whether they were lying on their stomachs or not, they fell from the sky, and the overwhelming fragments of the grenade easily pierced their bodies and killed them. (To be continued......)
