Chapter 769 is wrong in the wrong, and the result is good
"Look, my lord, there are very few of them!" Mao Li Gangguang's side of the flag was discovered, raised his hand and pointed to the position more than 100 meters ahead, more than 100 people, jumped into the trench, did not mean to continue to rush forward, but began to dig a ditch. What does that mean? Shouldn't it be a rush forward? Maori Tsunahiro, who was waiting for the battle, was a little helpless to punch the air.
In fact, there was only one battalion of troops responsible for attacking the 241st heights, and only one assault company rushed to the position. The original battle plan was not to expect to occupy the position at one time, and in order to achieve the effect of an uninterrupted attack, after the strength of one company was repulsed, the second echelon took over and continued the second wave of attacks. Therefore, when the assault company rushed to the position, the second regiment and the first battalion of the mountain brigade, which did not have such a deep understanding of the new tactics, had a temporary fault in the continuation of troops.
If the opponent is evenly equipped, this mistake is fatal. When the battalion commander Pang Zuyin picked up the phone and asked the second company for reinforcements immediately, Maori Gangguang had already launched a decisive assault. The fighter plane is fleeting, how could a person like him, who has been fighting for the war for a long time, miss such an opportunity. The artillery fire of the army of the Ming Empire is very powerful, but the two are entangled, what is the use of the cannon? Moreover, the slope of this highland is not large, and the halfway up the mountain is occupied, so it is not easy to hold the commanding heights. With a distance of less than 200 meters and a depth of less than 50 meters behind him, how can you defend it with a burst of artillery fire? So fighting back is a must!
Of course, it was not Mori Tsunahiro who rushed to the front, but Kimoto Asai Jino, and at the forefront of the charging team, they were all samurai. Not to mention this era, even during World War II, officers were afraid of death when they were fighting. The soldier's will to fight will also be insufficient.
Wow wow, the charging rebels let out a strange scream, no less than five hundred people, more than a hundred meters away, and ran forward with the strength of milk, the purpose was to prevent the artillery of the Ming Empire from continuing to exert its might. This is also a lack of understanding of new tactics. In fact, at this distance, the heavy artillery will not fire at all, at most the 75 guns will be pushed forward a little, and then the close shooting is the extreme.
Mori saw this as an opportunity and acted immediately. A battalion and a company that were digging positions, and a squad in charge of the guard opened fire, and all the soldiers immediately dropped their sapper shovels and entered combat status. A Montigny machine gun was pushing upwards, fifty meters away from the position. It's being pulled with a rope. I push hard below. The company commander, who heard the gunshot, was anxious and immediately asked a squad to help pull the rope, and the rest of the people immediately went into battle.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, the unique 44 formation of the mountain brigade played a miraculous effect at this time, and the dense platoon of guns shot a dazzling blood flower, the key is the rate of fire, and the Changzhou soldiers did not expect the rifle to shoot so fast, and it was uninterrupted for a while. And it's not a three-stage shot.
Still, despite the rebels rushing forward. Still rushing forward with bullets, when he rushed to a place of less than thirty meters in one go, the Montini machine gun, which was dragged up and pushed down, finally had a shooting angle. Seeing that the rebels were about to rush into the position, they were still waiting for a fart, so they immediately stopped pushing forward, and the shelves didn't open. The rope was not untied, and he shouted: "Everyone go into the trenches." "Swing the handle, click, the machine gun goes off, and there are at most ten meters left to rush into the trenches for hand-to-hand combat. It's like hitting an invisible wall. The rate of fire of 200 rounds a minute instantly formed an impermeable network of fire, and when the samurai who rushed to the front were knocked down, a smoking iron lump flew out of the position, and this thing was the infantry's big killing weapon.
After throwing all the grenades out in one go, the rebels, who were trying to launch a counterattack, turned around and ran away. There's no way not to run, the samurai masters who lead the team are either dead or injured, who can still fight if they haven't been around for a long time from peasants to soldiers? Machine guns were chasing, rifles were also chasing and killing unhurriedly, and the casualties caused in the process of retreat were even greater, and less than 400 soldiers fled back, and the casualties were far greater than imagined.
Something even deadlier was yet to come, and the second echelon of reinforcements came up right after, along with a Montini machine gun. Seeing that the rebels were running away, the two companies launched a charge with a tacit understanding, two machine guns, one on the left and one on the right, crossfire to cover the charge. The counterattack force chased the rebels' ass and came up to stab the chrysanthemum, and when the counterattack failed to succeed, Mori Tsunahiro was in a dilemma, he was caught up by the people around him and thrown on horseback, three or five people ran away with him, and the rest of the people carried samurai swords to launch a counter-charge.
The same charge, the rebels had never seen a straggler formation, and when sporadic shots of muskets fired, the charging team immediately found cover on the spot and returned fire with rifles. The shot was called a quasi-shot, and the sound of thumping gunshots and popping bullets into the flesh rang out one after another. The rebels who launched a counter-charge were less than 100 people, and when a platoon of guns came, a small half of them fell, not to mention, and the last bit of courage was lost.
The fire stopped for a while, and the two companies, under the leadership of the commander, continued to rush forward under the banner, and at a distance of about ten meters, the team that broke forward threw out the last dozens of grenades. In the smoke of gunfire, soldiers shouting murderous screams rushed into the enemy line and stabbed the rebels who were still resisting to the ground one by one with bayonets.
When Nobuo Hojo staggered to his feet, he found that he was no longer on the position, lying behind a huge rock, surrounded by a row of corpses, and two rebel soldiers who were carrying the corpses ran away in fright when they saw him "swindling the corpse". Soon two soldiers came, holding bayonets at him, and a naturalized civil worker came over, and after asking a few words, he learned that the goods had been stunned by the artillery.
"What do you have to do with the Hojo family?" "Hey, a distant relative, just a declining samurai."
After a short interrogation, the paramedics arrived, and after bandaging the wound on his head, the political workers left a message: "Recuperate with peace of mind, we treat the prisoners preferentially." Later Hojo learned that his men had either died or had run away, and more than a dozen of them had not been killed by the bombing, but because their internal organs had been shattered while lying on the ground.
In this battle for the high ground, both sides made mistakes, one overestimated the opponent, and the other overestimated themselves. Overall, the best of the worst was wrong, and the results were good. Hearing the news that the 241 Heights had been taken, Chang Shiren felt incredible. The hill guarded by more than 1,000 people, the strength of two companies, and the two charges were taken, which is obviously a bit sci-fi.
The summary of the battle was made later, and the conclusion was that the role of artillery was more than expected. In particular, the grenades, shells, explosives, and explosions of the new artillery caused more casualties to the enemy than expected. Seventy percent of the casualties were caused by artillery fire.
After taking the commanding heights, the mountain brigade immediately pulled an artillery company up the 241st heights and bombarded the rebels at the foot of the mountain. This time, he was not in a hurry to continue the attack, after all, the opponent still had more than 10,000 people, and it was undoubtedly suspected of taking the initiative to attack with the strength of a regiment. These officers should know how they would feel when a large group of Japanese soldiers dared to chase after a division of the National Army during the Anti-Japanese War.
The first day of fighting went very smoothly, not only taking Heights 241, but also successfully knocking out the hidden artillery positions of the rebels. At the same time, the rebels who tried to reinforce Heights 241 were repelled from several directions, and the main attack was the detection effect of hot air balloons. The rebels who had fallen into passivity retreated on all fronts, shrinking their forces, and the two rebels were only one kilometer apart, ready for the final decisive battle.
In just one day, the Shimazu family suffered more than 1,000 casualties, all of which were blocked by the coordinated fire of the third rifle artillery when they tried to reinforce them. That night, after deliberation, both Shimadzu and Mori decided to take a desperate gamble and launch a full-scale counterattack overnight. The daytime battle told them that there was no chance of winning if they continued to fight. If they can't make up for the lack of equipment with night battles, what awaits them is a slowly tightened noose, and the result is death anyway. With the morale of the other troops exhausted, it is better to launch a big gamble.
The good wine and food were open to eat and drink, and the rebel soldiers were enjoying themselves in the dusk, and the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield had not yet dissipated. Mori and Shimazu, who had agreed to accept it, walked side by side again, looking at the same sunset, the Ming Empire troops who were building positions, their eyes were full of helplessness. "Maori-kun, why don't you choose to surrender? Could it be that the strength of the Ming Empire is not enough for you to make a choice? ”
Shimazu Tsunaki's eyes were full of questions and temptations, and Mori Tsunahiro asked with a bitter smile, "What about Your Excellency?" ”
"Me? Probably because I can't bear to watch the Yamato nation decline, right? There is always a feeling that I am a historical sinner! ”
"Hideyoshi-sama tried to conquer Korea, but he failed. Japan is too small! However, even in small countries, there are unyielding samurai. Death in battle is the glory of a samurai! Yes! If I die tonight, I think I will laugh and be king, because I have fallen on the way to seek the way. Mori Gohiro's tone is unusually resolute, which is probably a characteristic of the Japanese. Everything is accustomed to the usual sayings. Tea ceremony, chess ceremony, kendo, karate, etc., it is not difficult to see the roots of why the Japanese nation is able to pursue the ultimate in details.
In general, it's probably because there are too few good things! I finally learned a little skill from the outside, how can I do it without studying it thoroughly?
The time for the decisive counterattack was chosen in the second half of the night, and after reading the time with a foreign pocket watch and reaching two o'clock in the morning as agreed, Maori Tsunahiro took out his war knife, raised it to his chest with a solemn expression, and silently stepped forward. The accompanying subordinates and samurai also followed his example, drew their katanas, held them to their chests, and silently moved forward.
More than 10,000 warriors of the Cheung Chau Domain, when they tried to block the car with their arms on this night, the envoy of his ally the Shimazu family appeared in front of Chang Shiren, knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, everything I said below is the truth. (To be continued......)
