687 Raid (II)

Pang Yu had been carefully watching the battle situation, and he felt that his plan to hold on to the reinforcements did not seem to be easy to achieve. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the distance decreases, the number of casualties exchanged between the two sides rises dramatically. In terms of exchange ratio alone, their side is still absolutely advantageous, but the opponent's huge numerical advantage makes up for it.

The Houjin raiders who emerged from the forest had already exceeded fifty, exceeding the scale of any previous sneak attack, and it seemed that the Houjin soldiers' latent ability had been underestimated before. Pang Yu once considered whether to clean up Xu Lei, the commander of the third battalion, who was in charge of observing the enemy situation and patrolling the sentry after returning - of course, this thought was only fleeting, and the immediate priority was that he could go back alive.

In a straight line, it wasn't too far from the other side of the camp, and the gunfire and ringing must have reached there. Reinforcements should have been dispatched by now, but it is not easy to rush over in time - as the saying goes, "looking at the mountains and running dead horses", this side of Lushunkou is full of undeveloped and complex terrain, and the sight of the two mountains is opposite to each other, and the sound of each other is heard, but if you really want to run to the ground, there is a good detour up and down. Pang Yu It took nearly an hour for them to come over just now, and even if the reinforcements were used at the fastest speed, they would not be able to arrive in less than ten or twenty minutes.

-- What a terrible ten minutes! In normal times, it is just the kung fu of smoking a cigarette, but at the moment it is related to his life and death...... Since traveling through time and space and coming to this Ming Dynasty, Pang Yu has never felt that death is so close to him. Looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of those Houjin soldiers, Pang Yu estimated that even surrendering was an extravagant hope - these people themselves knew that it was impossible to escape with a captive, and a single human head was obviously much lighter.

For a while, all kinds of thoughts and thoughts came to his mind, but in the end, what woke him up from his confusion was a high-pitched shout:

"Joan Navy! Get on the bayonet! ”

- It was the shouts of the captain of the guard, although this young man's performance today was not perfect, but at least it was still at the level that a Qiong Navy man should have: as the captain of the guard, he had been guarding Pang Yu with all his heart, even if he had no confidence in the battle situation, he still firmly held the spot. As a middle- and low-ranking officer, the instructions he issued at this time also met the requirements of the military regulations of the Qiong Navy: when the enemy approaches to a certain level, he must be prepared to fight bayonets and fight hand-to-hand combat!

It stands to reason that the Qiong Navy, which uses firearms and rifles as its main means of destruction, has the greatest advantage of long-range shooting, and it should try to maintain this advantage until the end in actual combat. However, the group of people who set up the military regulations of the Qiong Navy, including Tang Jian, Beiwei and others, never thought that their own army should be inherently afraid of hand-to-hand combat. In the daily training of the Joan navy, bayonet combat was almost as much training as shooting – if not more. After all, the sticks and protective gear used to train combat skills can be used repeatedly, while the bullets used in shooting training are all consumables.

In the military regulations of the Qiong navy, soldiers are not allowed to wait for the enemy to rush in front of them before preparing for hand-to-hand combat, but when the enemy approaches a certain distance, they have to use bayonets to fight a countercharge. At the beginning, when this military regulation was formulated, some people raised objections, saying that the last few tens of meters were precisely the moment when the rifle shooting rate was the highest, and it was a bit hasty to take the initiative to give up this distance advantage and enter the hand-to-hand combat stage in which one side did not have an advantage in advance.

You must know that once you enter the final hand-to-hand combat, it is like pushing stud on the poker table, and you will win or lose. With the exchange ratio and brutality of hand-to-hand combat, even with the equipment, morale and training of the Qiong navy, the army may not necessarily have the upper hand compared to the cold weapons of this era.

But in the end, the military team collectively discussed and retained this military rule, because Tang Jian and the others felt that they might be able to avoid bayonet battles with others as much as possible in actual combat, but they must not let their own army have a fear of hand-to-hand combat. Hand-to-hand combat was part of Joan's naval tactics, and this had to be reflected in the army's rules of operation.

In the subsequent battles, when the enemy was basically not allowed to get close to such a close distance, several bayonet charge orders were initiated by the commander on this side, all of which were to take advantage of the early shooting, and finally launched the charge only to completely break the confidence of the enemy and force the opponent to enter the rout stage.

But those are regular battles, where the enemy can be spotted from afar, and rifle fire can be used to ravage the opponent from a long distance. And as it is now, when the morale of the opponent has not been lost, and while he is still trying to get closer to this side, is it appropriate to take the initiative to rush up and fight the bayonet?

This is stipulated in the ordinance, but Pang Yu, as one of the formulators of the military regulations of the Qiong Navy, also knows that this decree is not perfect, and it is only a summary of past experience, and it also requires constant revision in practice. The current situation is a new situation that has not been encountered before, and it may be counterproductive to implement it in accordance with the original regulations.

In his capacity, if he shouted at this time, he could also revoke the captain's order, and it might be a better strategy to ask everyone to continue to lie there and shoot at the enemy. But Pang Yu only dispelled this idea after a slight hesitation - something must be done at a critical moment, even if it turns out to be a wrong action afterwards, it is better than doing nothing! This was repeatedly emphasized in the daily training of the Joan Navy. Of course, this action does not mean that it is a reckless operation, and it is best to refer to past experience, but if it does not, when it encounters a new situation and does not know what to do, it will be done in accordance with the military regulations and regulations -- this is the fundamental purpose of the military regulations and regulations formulated by the Qiong Navy.

There was nothing wrong with the captain of the convoy at this time giving the order to charge according to the order, and if he used his authority to forcibly revoke his order at this time, it would only be even worse. So Pang Yu didn't say a word after hearing that command, just tidied up his clothes, and the cat got up and prepared to rush along.

"Chief of Staff, let's go first, you follow."

The captain of the guard also knew that once he rushed out, no one would be able to take care of anyone, and it might not be safe to ask Pang Yu to hide in the rear, it was better to charge together in his own team. Pang Yu nodded silently, leaving behind all distractions, and treating himself as an ordinary soldier.

"Joan Navy! Charge! ”

As the captain of the guard gave the order, the first thing that sounded was a series of rumbling explosions - in the order of the Joan navy, the first action to launch a charge was to throw grenades! The so-called "charging distance" is also the distance of the bomb. It is basically about thirty or fifty meters, depending on the soldier's own on-the-spot judgment.

As the most powerful weapon that can be used by a single soldier, the lethality and deterrence of the grenade far exceed the imagination of any soldier or warrior in this era, and it is probably only comparable to the legendary heavenly thunder. This is especially true for those post-Jin soldiers who come from savage and remote places.

Although Xiao Lang had used grenades in the previous battle, not many people escaped from the Houjin side in that battle, and most of the survivors were Kong Youdehan's military banner troops. Therefore, for the group of Jurchen savage soldiers in front of them, who did not know from which horn, the grenade was still a new weapon that they had never seen and heard of - in fact, the musket was too, but because the musket of the Qiong Navy was too famous, the other party had already been mentally prepared. But the grenade is definitely beyond their imagination.

As a result, this "rumble" passed, and the results achieved suddenly exceeded all the previous ones. Wherever the grenade shrapnel swept through, that is, within thirty or fifty meters or so of the position of the Joan navy, it became clean in an instant-as in the past, the warrior who dared to rush ahead always died the fastest, and in the war mode of the Joan navy, man was only a consumable, no matter how brave and good he was.

When the smoke and dust cleared a little, you could see that there were not many Houjin soldiers still standing on the opposite side, and there were about twenty of them killed - their number was limited after all, and they still adhered to the tradition of the cold weapon era with as dense formations as possible, hand-to-hand combat was dominant, but in front of the steel prefabricated fragments sprayed by the power of gunpowder, it was just a pile of rotten meat.

The rest of the people were also a little stunned, but they were veterans after all, they were elites, and when they found that the greenskins on the opposite side were actually holding bayonet guns and taking the initiative to rush towards this side, they immediately resumed their instincts as warriors, and without saying a word, they raised their weapons to meet each other.

"Bang ......"

There was the sound of a final volley of guns on the battlefield - the soldiers of the Joan navy, who were about to face the enemy, fired bullets from their chambers, and they were not allowed to shoot without bayonets. This near-face-to-face shooting instantly reduced the number of opponents by nearly half, but they themselves suffered the heaviest casualties since the beginning of the war - those Houjin soldiers are not soft stubble, they have an extremely accurate grasp of the fighters, almost shooting here at the same time, the opposite side also threw spare knives and axes, although due to the distance and throwing level, the hit rate is far from comparable to the rifle, but these iron guys whistling in the sky still chopped over several people

So now, there are less than ten guards around Pang Yu, but there are almost only this number left on the other side. Since the beginning of the war, after a brutal exchange war, the gap in numbers and weapons between the two sides has been flattened. Now, the only thing that determines the outcome of both sides is courage, will, and the ability to fight in close combat.

There was no roar, roar, or other superfluous sounds as Pang Yu imagined, and the two sides collided head-on in this way. Only when a three-edged bayonet is inserted into the body, or when it is slashed at the body with a hand-axe, one or two short, high-pitched cries are uttered, and that is often the last sound of a warrior.

The battle was very short, probably only a few minutes. Pang Yu recalled the details of this battle many times afterwards, but he could not remember much, because he was completely distracted at that time, just concentrating on controlling the weapons in his hands, trying to fire at those guys with money pigtails, and being careful not to accidentally injure his own people. When you get nervous, you don't feel the passage of time, and it's hard to pay attention to other aspects. It wasn't even until he was suddenly pushed that he noticed that the captain of the guard had rushed in front of him at some point, blocking a deadly feathered arrow for him!

“…… Chief of Staff, hold on! ”

These were the last words of the captain of the guard, but Pang Yu didn't even have time to respond to him at the time, just shot at the target ******** until he killed the guy who attacked him - Pang Yu's deepest experience in this battle is that the lethal effect of bullets on the human body is far greater than imagined, and the heroes who can still jump alive after being shot several times in previous film and television works are deceitful. Even if the bullet he fired with his pistol, with the strong physique of the Jin soldier on the other side, he was basically incapacitated after a shot - as long as he could hit the torso.

In the extremely tense actual combat, Pang Yu's archery skills are improving rapidly, in the past, it always took three or four shots to hit, but now it is basically two shots. After the guy with the bow and arrow clutched his stomach and collapsed, Pang Yu had the leisure to pay attention to the surroundings, and then, he was stunned to find that there was no one around! All the guards are down, and he is left alone!

Fortunately, there were few Jin soldiers on the opposite side, and there were only two people in Pang Yu's field of vision, and he quickly pulled the trigger several times in a row and knocked over another one, and then turned the muzzle of the gun to aim at the other one-that guy was rushing towards him frantically with red eyes.

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

At the critical moment, the weapon in his hand couldn't be fired! A lot of cold sweat broke out on Pang Yu's head all of a sudden-he remembered the number, there should still be bullets in the gun, it was stuck!

His embarrassed appearance was immediately seen by the queen Jin Bing. This guy is not low in understanding, although he doesn't understand the operation principle of the pistol, he can immediately judge that the deadly weapon in the hand of the shorthair in front of him has failed! The guy immediately laughed, and actually slowed down, and gradually approached Pang Yu in an unhurried rhythm, with a smug look of cat and mouse in his eyes.

However, this pride only lasted for a short time, and the next moment, the man's face changed greatly-because Pang Yu casually dropped the stuck May Fourth, lifted the placket, and took out another pistol from his waist!

"Stupid, do you think Lao Tzu will only carry a gun when he goes out in a place like this?"

Pang Yu was scolding the other party, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all - he firmly remembered the lesson of "the wind can't wave". In the continuous sound of "bang bang bang", he knocked the last Houjin soldier in the field to the ground, and looked around blankly, only to see that in the forest not far away, there were a number of shadowy green figures running wildly.

-- Reinforcements finally arrived. (To be continued.) )
