Chapter 187: Desperate
"The artillery of the Qing army is gone, onboard!!" I don't know who shouted. The Japanese troops, who had been pressed and beaten just now, regained their strength and, under the command of a junior officer, began to attack their positions. The remaining artillery was no longer able to stop the enemy's attack, but fortunately they still had machine guns, light and heavy machine guns formed a dense network of fire from the front, side, and even the back, and pressed the attacking Japanese troops within 500 meters in front of the position. "Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns." This phrase then spread among the Japanese army. And what really made them appreciate the power of the machine gun was the battle of Yuefeng Mountain. Veterans can tell the direction of attack and the landing point by the sound of guò shells in the air. But the machine gun is different, the machine gun with a rate of 600 shots per minute is like a whip, sticking to the ground, and the probability of a hit is very small, but the probability of a few hundred hits is big. Some soldiers thought they would be fine lying on their stomachs. But except for direct shooting. The machine gunners of the North Ocean can still shoot indirect shots that can be called miraculous! This rain of bullets from the top of the head is overwhelming. The Japanese soldiers didn't know when, a bullet flew above their heads, and then knocked open their skulls.
Yes! With a scream, a bullet opened a hole in the skull of a Japanese soldier hiding behind a rock. Red blood and white brains suddenly flew apart. splashed the people around him. A few people with poor wills could not withstand such stimulation and rushed out of cover with screams, and within two steps of walking, several bullets hit the collapsed soldier at the same time, and finally fell to the ground after struggling to run a few steps. Those who were not calm and unlucky were all killed by machine guns, and the rest were also suppressed by machine gun fire. The offensive seems to have been defused.
The sudden sound of objects from the bottom of the mountain streaking across the air at high speed made the Beiyang officers and soldiers hiding in the trenches feel a little uneasy. "It's artillery, the Japanese pushed the field artillery to the front line and fired at close range!" Shao Yu looked at the cannon moving forward at the door under the mountain and said. To deal with machine guns in bunkers in the mountains, mortars will not work, this thing is bulky and has a short range. The 75mm field or mountain guns can be advanced, and then bulletproof steel plates are added to the guns. This also makes it possible to ignore the bullets of the machine gun. And the accuracy of direct-fire artillery is naturally relatively high, and those machine guns that have been exposed, have not come and have not been transferred, or are difficult to transfer immediately, are knocked out one by one!
With the massive loss of machine-gun firepower, the entire Qing army's fire network gradually tended to collapse. The Japanese soldiers, who had been held down by the dead just now, instantly became active, picked up the rifles in their hands and rushed forward. Hand-to-hand combat is inevitable. Compared with the Japanese army whose morale came up, the morale of the Qing army was further shaken. The old army, which was supposed to fight a good battle, had been shaken by the destruction of artillery and the loss of machine-gun firepower, and faced with the business of piercing the body with bayonets and sharp weapons, and the battlefield of flesh and blood. Some finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to retreat, and this retreat quickly spread like a contagion among the old Qing army. While the brethren of the new army were either picking up rifles with bayonets or carrying various pistols to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, some of the old soldiers could no longer bear the pressure of death and began to flee.
"Don't look at them, you have a better chance of surviving in the face of the enemy than with your back to the enemy!" Shao Yu glanced at the partially retreating old army and said. He is the general of the Beiyang New Army, not the old army, there are deserters, so naturally there is a supervising team behind to solve it. All he had to do was command his men to hold the position!
"In hand-to-hand combat, in the face of each other's bayonets, officers and soldiers are truly equal, the distance is close, there is no so-called rear. The bunker didn't work either, and the two sides crushed the opponent with courage and skill face to face! Years later, Shao Yu commented on hand-to-hand combat. But unfortunately, in his first hand-to-hand combat, Shao Yu chose a very incorrect weapon. Someone else wants to pull out a pistol, either with a rifle with a bayonet, or there is a maverick who chooses to use a saber or something. But what about Shao Yu, well, maybe it's because he likes machine guns too much, he actually picked up a light machine gun nearby and rushed up, don't you say, this thing rushed up from the side, and it was really pleasant to sweep at the flank of the Japanese army who was charging, but the problem is that you have a distance from the Japanese army, and you can strafe the Japanese army unscrupulously. But other people's artillery can also hit you! It was also this kid who had a big life, and a cannonball exploded more than 20 meters away from it, and the huge shock wave directly washed him down. Several shrenchnel also pierced Shao Yu's body. At that time, Shao Yu felt numb and couldn't stand up! As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you, and look at Shao Yu and his subordinates who were blown up by shells. Of course, the Japanese army would not let go of this opportunity. So a Japanese squad rushed over. …,
Woo hoo, the bayonet moon pistol duel is staged here again. This time, though, things weren't good. The two sides have not been entangled together, you can use a pistol to shoot, and other people's rifles can also shoot, and Shao Yu's side is a direct officer of the command, and there are not many combat pistols! It's all self-defense. In addition, they are a small team, with a large number of people, and they are combat troops, even if the pistol fire rate is fast enough, this still can't stop the Japanese army's charge, and when they see that the Japanese are about to take bayonets and stab into the bodies of these Qing soldiers who have some difficulty standing up. A group of old Beiyang troops with braids rushed up.
"Ugh." In Shao Yu's eyes, these old armies rushing up were too eye-catching compared to those old armies that were fleeing. The leader was holding a normal-style ghost-headed gun in one hand and a box cannon with 20 rounds of long magazines in the other. Like the Nanyang New Army, this one had to sweep it with a box cannon first, and then go up to hand-to-hand combat after knocking out a part, only to see that the big man led by him did not put the gun flat or hold the gun in both hands like ordinary people. Rather, it is designed as if it were a self-defense pistol. Historically, the muzzle of the box cannon itself was very strict. Especially when shooting continuously, it is even more strict. And in this plane, after Xu Jie used a 25mm long bullet, the problem reached a kind of Cheng dù that was basically unable to stabilize the design of one-handed. But along this man holds a gun in one hand. The shot was still a short burst, but every time the muzzle jumped up, it was just the right amount of suppression! That's a lot of wrist strength. "Master, not to mention anything else, this wrist strength is enough for ordinary people to last for more than 5 years." Shao Yuxin said. After the shooting phase, the rest of the people had to talk with cold weapons, and I saw this man put the gun on the belt and hang the knife. Although a big blade does not have too many fancy, it is short, fast, steady, accurate, and ruthless. It's a real killer on the battlefield! Never mud and water. Find an opportunity to kill with one blow. "Okay, Lao Tzu's fate has been saved." Shao Yu staggered to his feet, took out his pistol and picked up a saber and rushed forward.
Compared with the mountain where the killing is in full swing, the anticline is quiet and terrifying. Nie Shicheng stood halfway up the mountainside, looking at the rout that rushed down not far away, his face was ashamed, and humiliation and anger surged up together. "It's a shame, when you take the money, you are happy, and when something happens, you collapse." A pro-soldier next to him muttered quietly. "Junmen, this is more than 200 people. If it were military law, it would ....... Feng Yihe next to him was a little unbearable. According to his own brother, there is a psychological disorder, and it is usually to kill a few typical examples. But this time, there were more than 200 people. This machine gun kills people fast enough! Once the 2 machine guns of the Overseer team go off, I'm afraid there won't be a few people left alive!
"Let's go! Let those scum see how this battle should be fought! "It's definitely not a good choice to slaughter the rout now, and when you think of the gun later, what will the people who are fighting on the mountain think? I'm afraid that the first impression in my mind is that someone has copied the back road, right? And after killing more than 200 people this time, Nie Shicheng was really a little unbearable. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to go to the original casual chat with Xu Jie, Xu Jie mentioned a sentence, "Brothers, this sentence with me will always be more morale-boosting than any language!" "yes. The officers and soldiers are unanimous, and it is always better for the officers to rush to the front and lead by example than to shout empty slogans! Thinking of this, Nie Shicheng turned around and shouted to the pro-military camp behind him: "It's a master, follow me Nie Shicheng to kill the widows!" Then the old general snatched a rifle from the hand of the bystander and took the lead in rushing forward. Maybe it's because Nie Shicheng has a lot of prestige in the army, or maybe this action really ignited morale. The more than 500 pro-soldiers behind shouted "kill" in unison, and then quickly followed. And the Qing army, who was running down the mountain, saw that Nie Shicheng came up with more than 500 pro-troops, are you still running? Then this person is too shameless. Except for a few who ran to both sides, most of them stood still. stared blankly at the qiē in front of him. "Get out of here, don't be a master." A pro-soldier kicked a rout standing in front of him backwards and said contemptuously. Then he didn't look at it and rushed up the hill. The others followed suit, pushing aside the rout that was standing in front of them. It's that people have three-part blood. What's more, seeing that his chief officers have gone up, what else is there to be afraid of? Life? Everyone is equal in front of bullets. Money? Nie Shicheng's money doesn't have much more than yours? Besides, is it useful to have more money when people die? Future? The battle has been lost, what future is there?
"Fight!" A rout gritted his teeth. Picking up the rifle in his hand, he rushed forward with the team in front of him. Man is a social creature. When someone takes the lead, people's courage swells in geometric numbers. The more people there are, the bolder they are, and that's the truth. With these large hundreds, they rushed towards the position of Moon Peak Mountain. The big picture is basically decided. In fact, the Japanese army was also increasing its troops, but as the waves of Japanese troops rushed up, he found that the Qing army on the mountain was also increasing. And with the two sides entangled together, the artillery and anything can't be used, and then it's up to the pistols and bayonets. Nie Shicheng is still very good at learning. After fighting with Oshima Yoshimasa, in response to the problem that the Qing army was afraid of close combat, they also specially learned the Nanyang New Army's box cannon and bayonet fighting method. Moreover, a batch of box guns was urgently transported from Lushun. In this way, melee combat became a nightmare for the Japanese army. After all, no matter how good you practice your bayonet, you can't fight a box cannon!!
