Chapter 636: Infantry and artillery work together
With the popularization of new education and the promotion of scientific research in the industrial age, the Ming Empire, as a Ming empire with a complete national defense industry, has a weapon production and research and development capability that is unmatched by any empire in this world.
No one can imagine the horror of the military power that tens of millions of people have built up in the service of this country's industrial system.
At least the Korean state in front of him is unable to compete with such a Ming Empire, but what is even more embarrassing is that the Korean state, which is still an agricultural culture, is not aware of this change in the Ming Empire, which is doomed to his tragedy.
Since the twenty-sixth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty has been stationed in the northeast.
The Ming Dynasty has not taken any measures against North Korea, not because the Ming Dynasty really allowed North Korea to be arrogant, but because the military operations of the Ming Empire now rely more on logistics than before.
In order to smash tons and tons of shells and bullets on the territory of foreign expansion in a short period of time, a large amount of steel and gunpowder is needed, in addition to food, clothing, and so on.
In order to achieve the goal of controlling the entire North Asia region with the northeast as a foothold, the Ming Dynasty spent more than ten years building the northeast and Monan into a large-scale logistics supply base sufficient to support the empire in several years of war.
Although the construction of the railway has only just begun, the road network has already been formed, and the road from Shenyang to Dingliao and Fushun can already meet the transportation of millions of troops.
The Korean Kingdom thought that the Ming Dynasty had not moved for a long time over the years only because it had spent a lot of military expenditure on the expedition to the Netherlands, and only thought that the Ming Dynasty only wanted to consolidate the rule of the Northeast, but ignored that the current Ming Empire just wanted to fight an epoch-making infantry and artillery coordinated war.
Nowadays, outside the city of Yiju, the most direct embodiment is that the howitzer battalion of the Sixth Army of the Ming Guards Army can constantly destroy important strongholds in the city of Yiju with shells.
Although the accuracy of the Ming infantry field howitzer is not as good as that of the guided missiles of later generations, the error will not be too far, at least the official offices, arsenals, and grain depots in Yizhou City have not been spared.
At this time, the North Korean general Li Ze could only watch his Uiju City full of artillery fire, watch the raging fire burning behind him, and watch his 60,000 North Korean soldiers being bombed in the city and wailing incessantly and dying in the flames.
At the same time, the North Korean general Li Ze still gritted his teeth and waited for the appearance of the main force of the Ming army with his 60,000 heavy troops gathered outside the city, he was one of the generals who advocated taking Liaodong from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but he was not hot-headed for a while, but felt that his North Korea should also have its own continental strategic buffer zone, and no longer only shrink within the peninsula.
For this reason, he has been training in grain all these years, in order to one day compete with the Ming Dynasty.
He had been waiting for the day of the decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, so although the situation seemed to be starting to get worse now, he did not seem to choose to give up, and he believed that his group of disciplined troops carefully trained in imitation of the Ming training method would be able to thwart the pace of the Ming army's attack.
Therefore, when he saw the Sixth Army Machine Gun Battalion and the First Corps Infantry Battalion of the Ming Guards Army appear, he even showed excitement on his face, and forgot that there were 60,000 soldiers and horses behind him being ravaged by the Ming artillery in the city.
"Raise your gun! Soldiers, success or failure in this move, we eat the king's Lu, be loyal to the king, defeat this group of Ming dogs, he will be able to cross the river one day, sleep with the women of the Ming Dynasty, kill the people of the Ming Dynasty, and rob the property of the Ming Dynasty! ”
……
When the Korean general Li Ze boosted the morale of his soldiers, the machine gun battalion and six infantry battalions of the Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty also began to get closer and closer to these Korean soldiers.
Two hundred hand-cranked machine guns marched toward the North Korean soldiers at intervals of ten paces, while between each two hand-cranked machine guns were submachine rifle infantry with magazines wrapped around their waists.
These submachine gun infantry are all pacesetters of the machine gun battalion, and are known for their bravery and fearlessness.
Behind the submachine gun infantry and hand-cranked machine guns were Guards artillerymen carrying small cannons or pushing light field guns, which were responsible for striking long-range targets in heavy groups.
Behind the machine-gun battalion, six infantry battalions marched in two columns.
The reason why there are two columns is because two columns of rifled guns of infantry are enough to achieve the purpose of firing one bullet in a second, and once the infantry in front of them is killed and wounded and falls to the ground, the infantry behind can just take over.
Naturally, the Sixth Army of the Ming Guards was the first to fire, not the Korean soldiers trembling with flintlock muskets.
After all, the range of the firearms of the Ming Guards has far exceeded the flintlock pistols in the hands of these North Korean soldiers.
The Daming hand-cranked machine gun, which was the first to breathe fire, 200 machine guns spit tongues of fire, and the rate of fire of 200 consecutive bullets in one minute made 20,000 rounds of bullets tear through the air in an instant, and in the sound of clicking, a large number of North Korean soldiers hundreds of paces away were shot down.
These Korean soldiers were almost like pieces of paper blown down by the wind, and blood gushed out like a blowout from an oil field, and tens of thousands of Korean soldiers were shot to the ground by 200 hand-cranked machine guns of the Ming army.
At this time, the North Korean soldiers had begun to completely lose their fighting spirit.
But this is not a classical war, it does not mean that you can run away if you lose your fighting spirit and want to run, before you have time to run, a bullet that is faster than a bow and arrow has already made you meet the Lord of Yama first, so that the casualty rate of the entire enemy army can increase significantly in a short period of time.
After dozens of steps, the hand-cranked machine gun needs to be cooled because the barrel is hot, and the bullet of a base is basically consumed, and at this time the submachine gun will come up, and the submachine gun infantry will hold the submachine gun and shoot at the dense North Korean soldiers more flexibly than the hand-cranked machine gun, and can also control the firing position, so that many North Korean soldiers are their heads are smashed by the bullets that are swept in.
The 60,000 Korean soldiers had completely collapsed and fled in droves to the left and right flanks.
At this time, the artillerymen carrying small cannons and pushing light field guns nimbly blocked the roads in the distance on the left and right flanks, forcing the disorganized Korean soldiers to escape, while the infantry began to fire with skillful gunskills and rifled rifles with the highest accuracy, first at officers and cavalry horses, and then at the fleeing Korean soldiers.
The dense firepower formed when 36,000 infantry held rifled guns was terrifying even in the era of mechanized warfare, because it was a dense firepower with extremely high shooting accuracy, and it was also a dense firepower of tens of thousands of bullets in a second, not to mention that it could control accurate shooting within a range of more than 300 steps.
So when such a Ming army attacked the Korean soldiers, it was no longer an ordinary war, but a massacre, a one-sided massacre!
