106 The Hundred Horsemen robbed the Japanese camp
The place where the shell exploded was far away from him, so when the shrapnel flew over, the speed was already very low, and the next shell exploded next to the Japanese army......
A Japanese squadron leader was patrolling with a saber on his shoulder, full of thoughts about capturing Jinzhou as soon as possible and looking for a few Chinese women to play, at this time, a shell landed fifteen meters in front of him, triggering the fuse and instantly detonating the explosives contained in the warhead, the body of the cast iron bomb was torn apart under the impact of high-pressure gas, and the shrapnel was instantly accelerated, and some even reached twice the speed of sound!
A piece of shrench slashed in front of him, it did not shoot into his body, but pierced his abdomen and flew into the distance, however, the Grim Reaper did not let him go, and the shock wave caused by the supersonic shrapnel hit his abdominal organs in an instant, and the liver and kidneys were not spared, and a large amount of internal bleeding and organ failure caused him to die quickly.
There are also shrapnel directly hit the devil, high-speed shrapnel through the flesh, the huge momentum exchange makes the body around the wound repeatedly and violently oscillate in a few milliseconds, the muscles and bones can not withstand such vibrations, explode to form a huge cavity, blood splashes.
A hundred shells exploded in the barracks, covering almost every tent that lived in them, and the unprepared Japanese troops were in a hurry, and the commander rallied his subordinates, but these voices seemed so weak in the terrible howls of the wounded; The military doctor looked at the wounded all over the ground, and did not even know which one to save, and soon, in the terrible whistling sound of the shells, the military doctor was also shot and fell......
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and hundreds of Qing cavalry waved their sabers and rushed towards the Japanese barracks.
"The Qing army has attacked! Hurry up and meet the enemy! The Japanese soldiers, who were the first to spot the Qing army, screamed heartbreakingly, and the machine gunners, whose faces were covered in blood, ran to the machine gun position, only to find that the machine gun had been blown up......
The Japanese army pinned its last hope on the antlers and barbed wire outside the barracks, hoping that these things could pass and block the cavalry of the Qing army, and people would pin their hopes on impossible things under a sudden blow, and the current Japanese are the same, how can those passive defensive means withstand the attack of the Qing army!
The so-called antlers, which are sharpened at both ends of a lot of logs, tied together and stood on the ground, also known as rejecting horses, are important weapons to resist cavalry, if the horse rushes up, it will be poked to death by sharp wood!
The cavalry of the Qing army had long been prepared for this, and a group of cavalry led by them, in groups of three, threw a lasso on the ground ten meters in front of the antlers! The lasso was placed on the antlers precisely, and then the three of them turned the horse's head together to pull the antlers apart!
In the face of rapid-fire weapons, the survival of cavalry depends entirely on speed, and if you are fast, you can survive by rushing into the enemy pile before the bullet hits you! Later, the rate of fire of weapons became higher and higher, but the speed of war horses has been stagnant, and in this way, the cavalry, which has been glorious in the history of human warfare for two thousand years, finally withdrew from the stage of history.
The antlers weigh, it is difficult for people who have not seen it to imagine, the Qing soldiers want to pull the antlers apart, the horse must run very slowly, if in peacetime, the Qing soldiers do this undoubtedly as a target for the defenders!
But today's Japanese army was stunned! On the battlefield, many times, powerful new weapons bring the enemy not only physical damage, but more importantly, psychological shock.
The Japanese army is also well-trained, some soldiers began to pick up guns to shoot cavalry, the antlers are a hundred meters away from the Japanese battalion, this distance is just enough to make all kinds of automatic weapons effective, but many of the Japanese machine guns have been blown up, and the Murata 22-year-old rifle in the hands of the infantry is a single shot, and the rate of fire is too slow, so it does not pose any threat to the Qing army at all!
If the cavalry pulls the rope with his hand to pull the antlers, the rope will grind out all the bones in his hands! Because of the amount of friction required, the ropes attached to the antlers were tied to the horse's shoulders.
The lasso was tied with a self-locking buckle, and after it was put on the thing, it became tighter and tighter! The horse neighed, the rider shouted, the horse's hooves stomped heavily on the ground, the horse held its breath, and at last the heavy antlers were slowly pulled apart.
Losing the antler barrier, the Japanese army was even more desperate, they could only hope that the two-meter-high barbed wire fence could stop the Qing army!
The average height of Mongolian horses is 120 cm to 130 cm, and they are good at walking long distances but not good at jumping, so the barbed wire fence that is more than two meters high is something they can't cross at all!
So the cavalry of the Qing army chose to break through the camp gate, if it was in peacetime, such a breakthrough would also be killed, because the opponent could concentrate firepower, but Lin Yuan's intensive artillery fire completely changed the balance of the battlefield! The Japanese army was simply incapable of organizing effective resistance.
When the first cavalry rushed into the camp, panic was ignited like a flame; When the cavalryman swung his sword and cut off the first head, panic spread through the crowd like the most virulent contagion; When more and more cavalry rushed into the camp and the war horses trampled on the corpses of Japanese soldiers, panic finally swept through everyone's hearts like a flood that burst the embankment!
The Qing cavalry rushed into the camp and first moved to the ammunition depot, the ammunition depot was some distance from the soldiers' barracks, and Lin Yuan deliberately did not have a bomb depot, so the ammunition depot was not very damaged, to the surprise of the Japanese army, these Qing troops seemed to be extremely familiar with the situation in the camp, and found the ammunition depot without a little detour, which was all due to the Beijing naval reconnaissance. As soon as the defenders of the ammunition depot tried to blow up the ammunition depot, they were beheaded by the cavalry of the Qing army.
The uninjured Japanese troops fled in panic, and fled frantically to the east where there was no Qing army, I don't know what the road was for, the cavalry of the Qing army did not pursue, the Japanese soldiers did not care about rejoicing, and fled in a panic towards Jinxian There are more than 1,500 Japanese troops stationed in Jinxian County, and they heard the gunfire of the outpost camp, and they did not know what happened in the outpost camp, they immediately used the telephone to contact the outpost camp, but there was no response on the phone, and the telephone line connecting the outpost camp had been cut off.
The captain of the Japanese army stationed in Jinxian vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect a sudden attack by the Qing army at all, and he thought: "Didn't the people of China want to fight the Russians first?" ”
The Japanese captain hurriedly ordered a squadron to go to the outpost camp to respond, and all the others entered a state of combat readiness to strictly prevent the Qing army from attacking, and immediately reported to his superiors.
Let's talk about the fleeing Japanese soldiers, they suddenly heard gunshots on the side of the road, and then they understood why the cavalry of the Qing army was not chasing behind, it turned out that there was an ambush in front!
What the Japanese army could not understand was that their camp was located at the gate of Jinzhou, and the movement of the Jinzhou army could not escape their eyes, and the army that ambushed them was definitely not a straggler, but a well-armed regular army, and there were not a few, how did they slip under their noses?
