Chapter 449: The Bloody Battle of the Hunan Army
Boom ~ Boom Boom......
The shelling of 75-mm field guns and grenadiers alternated, constantly blasting pieces of rubble and even corpses on the mountain walls!
The hard stone mud village built by the Hunan army was constantly flying up by the intensive artillery bombardment, but the defense line of the Hunan army itself was built in a dangerous mountain stream, and the man-made fortifications could be shattered, but the magic of nature was strong enough to resist the killing machines made by humans!
After the intensive shelling, the soldiers of the Han Empire Field Army wearing black military uniforms and high hats at the bottom of the hill jogged up with their respective weapons!
Under the cover of the infantry, the accompanying grenadier soldiers quickly moved forward to shell the position, and the Maximine heavy machine guns carried by several people followed closely behind the Han infantry in front!
The leader of the Hunan army peeked out of the braided head from among the rocks, held a machete and shouted: "Those outcasts have come up, everyone get up and prepare for battle!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a bullet accurately penetrated the leader's brain, and the red and white splashed all over the ground, and the surrounding Hunan soldiers saw this scene, not only did not fear, but showed strong anger, and the mournful shouts resounded through the mountain stream, and the dead people were obviously very prestigious among the soldiers!
Bang bang bang......
Dense flintlock firing sounded, but unfortunately, the Han army's rifle range advantage was too great, and the rate of fire still crushed them, and after half an hour of firefighting, most of the Hunan soldiers guarding here were killed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a rapid grenadier shot, the Han soldiers climbed over the wall of the mountain stream with bayonets!
In the face of the battle of the Qing army, at this time, the victory could basically be declared, but when the Han soldiers who thought they could achieve victory turned over, their eyes suddenly widened and they saw a group of soldiers hiding in the corpses, wearing braids and wearing Xiangyong uniforms, with red eyes, pulling the wooden grenade in their hands!
"You outcasts have killed my teacher, and I will let you be buried together!"
Thundered......
An entire number of boxes exploded violently by the wooden-handled grenades that he deliberately placed beside him, and the front-line commander of the field army in the rear even saw a small mushroom cloud rise in the telescope......
Because of hatred, a whole half of the field army soldiers flew into the sky......
The front-line commander with the rank of colonel frowned, he really couldn't understand what was the difference between the Xiangyong in front of him and the Qing army, and why the two sides were the same as two species!
Since the invasion of Hubei, the Han army field army has no longer seen the battle examples of defeating dozens or hundreds of times the Qing army in one battle, and a group of locals who call themselves Xiangyong are armed, holding all kinds of backward weapons, using all the checkpoints and dangerous areas that can be used, and desperately blocking the attack of the field army of the Han Empire!
Fortunately in the gentle area, the Han army with absolute artillery superiority can use artillery fire to carry out a scrubbing bombardment of any enemy, and the Han soldiers only need to step forward to clean up the mess, but in areas with complex terrain, every step forward of the Han army needs to be exchanged for a bloody lesson!
This small mountain stream, because the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the whole arrangement of tens of thousands of Hunan warriors, the leader seems to be a big man nicknamed Zeng bald, the field army here is the biggest difficulty since the start of the war!
The casualties of the Han army reached a maximum of hundreds a day!
This is a battle loss under the condition of absolute superiority in weapons and soldier quality training!
The field army is full of elite Indian veterans who have experienced the Great War of the Americas, and they will be beaten with such big losses!
The belief of these Hunan brave soldiers to defend their homeland is really heart-wrenching......
Moreover, after many exchanges of fire with the Han army, the soldiers of the Hunan army have realized the absolute inferiority of their weapons, and have discovered a tactic that can maximize the lethality, and when the Han soldiers attack, they will detonate the whole box of wooden-handled grenades!
A few people can be exchanged for dozens of Han soldiers, and they will die together!
The soldiers of the Hunan army, who had already killed the deep hatred of the sea of blood, caused a lot of battle damage to the Han army in a similar way under the extreme idea of revenge!
Explosions that were similar to those that died together continued to sound over the mountain streams, and the number of casualties inflicted on the Han soldiers was not nearly equal.
Whenever an explosion is over, a large number of Hunan warriors armed with cold weapons and large blades rush up desperately, and use the cover of the explosion smoke to fight with the Han soldiers at close range!
If it weren't for the fact that these Han soldiers were all elite veterans, and the bayonets were not inferior to these Hunan soldiers who were only brave, I am afraid that they would be beaten down in one wave......
However, after the follow-up Maxine heavy machine gun arranged the machine gun position at the commanding height, tongues of fire rang out, and a large number of Hunan warriors were shot into hedgehogs to capture this level......
After this battle, the Han army lost more than 300 people, and the corpses of the Hunan warriors were covered with mountain streams.
Although the field army units in the Jiangnan region of the Han Empire were moving forward every day, the casualties were really shocking!
Zeng bald's name even spread to the Manchu Emperor Qianlong before the imperial drive, and he was canonized as a loyal and brave Baturu!
Although they did not stop the Han army's attack, they were indeed the only army that caused more than four digits of casualties to the Han army and had not yet retreated!
Of course, whether it is Zeng Guangtou or Xiangyong's disciples, they are indifferent to this kind of name, and their hearts are also dripping blood, although they have dragged down the offensive pace of the Han army, but the average battle loss ratio of ten to one is really unaffordable......
If the fight continues like this, even if the footsteps of the Han army are stopped, the Xiangyong soldiers will almost die!
The most important thing is that the Guangxi and Guizhou regions were occupied by the Han field army on the southern Fujian side, and the way for British merchants to smuggle arms was cut off, at least, the foreign trade routes of the Hunan army were cut off!
The flintlock pistol is easy to say, but how can the black powder required for the wooden-handled grenade be made by relying on the few handicraft workshops in the Lianghu area, so how can it withstand the fierce battle?
What's more, under the attack of the Han army, there are also a small number of black powder handicraft workshops that have been lost!
If the fight continues like this, the people are not dead, but the black powder is about to be used up first......
The soldiers of the Hunan army, who have truly understood the strength of the Han army, know very well that without the wooden-handled grenades made of black powder, they only rely on cold weapons and broadswords and spears, and no matter how many people die, they can't kill a few Han soldiers!
After encountering the obstacle of the Hunan army, the Han army naturally didn't want to continue to bleed like this, so they privately sent someone to negotiate with Zeng Guangtou!
The Han civil war is so bloody, it's really not worth it!
However, Zeng Guangtou repeatedly shirked it, after all, the Manchu Empire still occupies most of China!
