Chapter 352
The old monkey is not afraid of this kind of thing, and there is a chariot on the edge of the forest.
The partisans were awesome, but they could not deal with infantry fighting vehicles, and even the regular army of the Poles, or even their backstage bosses, the Germans, did not have many ways to deal with infantry fighting vehicles.
The best thing they can do is just landmines.
"Go back the way you came, and watch your step. Bring back the mastiffs. The old monkey glanced around, and it was quiet nearby.
Years of licking blood from the knife edge made the old monkey smell of danger.
Just about a hundred meters forward, the old monkey immediately beckoned the sharp soldiers in front of him to stop, and the whole team also stopped in place.
The old monkey listened carefully to the gunshot, and a sinister smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's firecrackers!
It is impossible for a machine gun to play this way, and even if the bullets can be supplied, the barrel will not be able to stand it.
As far as the guerrillas are concerned, they can't come out with three barrels on their backs like the Ming army.
The sound of firecrackers mixed with the sound of a single rifle is all there is to the front.
The old monkey could even guess that the partisans had attracted all the firepower of Gerasimov's idiots by sending just a few people to set off firecrackers.
Now the intention of the partisans is obvious, either they want to deplete Gerasimov with their ammunition and then take out these idiots.
Either he intercepts and kills himself on his way back, and according to the judgment of the old monkey, the latter is more likely.
Intercept and kill yourself! Hehe......! It seems that his teeth are very hard, so he is not afraid of breaking his full mouth.
Thinking to himself, the old monkey hid behind a big tree and watched carefully.
Either there is no one ahead, or these people are so well-trained that they have not even noticed a trace of themselves.
Exactly how it is, you will know with two blows.
"Grenadier! In the direction of six o'clock, three volleys were fired. "The old monkey chose a direction at random, and since he wanted to fight his own ambush, he must be surrounded and fought.
This leads to another problem, those Polish partisans have so many people, they dare to attack the company of 100 people in the Ming Dynasty.
It looks like yesterday's attack was a trap.
Even so, it can kill a platoon of the Russian army, which shows how poor the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is, and it is embarrassing to call it a combat race.
Because the Mongolian regiment is a cannon fodder regiment, the firepower is still good, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not bad at this equipment.
Each infantry squad had one grenadier, and the whole company together had nine grenadiers.
This thing can fire a salvo at a distance of about 200 meters, and the power is still considerable.
Not to mention a three-shot salvo!
The old monkey was not worried about ammunition, because in addition to firing artillery shells, the grenadier was also able to fire grenades of the Ming army.
With the grenadier canister "all ......! A dense explosion occurred about one hundred and fifty meters ahead.
Fucking good luck, the old monkey couldn't help but mutter.
You don't need a telescope to see clearly, a person is blown up by the blast of the air.
After the explosion, a severed arm hung high on a tree branch. It shows that there is an ambush here!
What else is there to say, the mortar platoon immediately set up the mortar and prepared the shells to greet him.
"Bang bang ......!" That's how it is on the battlefield, the sound of gunfire is an order, not to mention that the ambush position has already been bombed.
I don't know who saw the first shot first, anyway, the gunshots were endless, and the sound of ping-pong became a one.
The Ming army did not contain a lake on this side, and the soldiers who were waiting for it immediately returned fire.
The mortars did not fire, they were waiting for the opposing machine guns to be exposed.
Obviously, the tactical level of the partisans was not comparable to theirs. The machine gunner was not from the regular army at all, and this guy was holding the machine gun and firing fiercely.
The sound of a burst shot is very different from the sound of a single-shot rifle!
The mortars of the mortar platoon would not turn over such an opportunity, and after determining the approximate location of the machine guns, three mortars immediately fired at it.
Poor machine gunner, still changing magazines after a shuttle shot. Exploding mortars, even people with machine guns tore them to shreds.
The old monkey listened carefully to the sound of gunfire and observed the guerrillas on the opposite side.
In addition to the sound of machine guns, all that remained was the sound of rifle gunfire. And judging by the sound of gunfire, the other side must have exceeded a hundred people.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people on the other side.
"Boom!" As he was observing, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from a distance of more than 30 meters.
A soldier of the Ming army was directly knocked to the ground by a cannonball, and his life and death are unknown.
", mortar!" The old monkey scolded, turned his head and shouted at the platoon commander of the mortar platoon: "Find out the opponent's gun position and knock it out!" ”
When the mortar was fired, the muzzle smoke was not very large, and the sound was not very loud.
What's more, there was basically no fire in the muzzle.
It would be a difficult task to find such a gun position in the dense forest.
The platoon commander of the artillery platoon was still confused, and the old monkey had already found a place to gun the position.
Quite simply, mortar shells are also curve fire. After firing in the forest, the wake of the cannonballs disturbs nearby trees.
That is, to see where the branches of the trees are falling. Or maybe the trees in that place are shaking badly, and the mortar position in that place is not far from ten.
The curve of the bullet is relatively small, no different from a straight line, and the trajectory cannot be swept to the treetops.
"Eight o'clock, distance...... The old monkey stretched out his thumb and made a brief survey. Eight hundred meters! ”
The bewildered artillery platoon commander reacted quickly, and immediately turned the gun muzzle and fired at the place pointed out by the chief of staff.
Suddenly, the guns of the Polish partisans were booming, and the new recruits were less like partisans and more like regular soldiers.
These people are very skilled in tactical movements, and their shooting is terrifyingly accurate. The worst thing is that the mortars are exceptionally accurate.
They are not partisans, they are regular troops. The old monkey keenly felt this, the regular army and the guerrillas fighting, those are definitely two different things.
You can't wait any longer, you'll die if you wait any longer!
Seeing the dense gunshots, the old monkey took out a signal flare and shot it into the sky as soon as possible.
A meteor-like flare rose into the sky, and the scarlet flare lit up the morning star, becoming the brightest presence in the sky before the sun came out.
The Ming army fought hard in the encirclement, but there were more and more Polish partisans encircling and attacking them.
Finally, listening to the gunshots, it was almost a few hundred people. Of course, the trick of passing off firecrackers as machine guns is no less.
It's just that these days the recruits of the Mongolian regiment are used to hearing the sound of firecrackers. The familiar sound could not be more familiar, and it was too difficult to deceive them with these things!
Mortars no longer fire, ammunition is really limited. It can only be left for machine guns and mortars, or grenadiers and things like that.
Of these things, it is actually the hardest to deal with grenadiers.
After all, this thing changes places with one shot, and the mobility is extremely high, and it happens to be quite powerful.
Aim at the position of the machine gun, and it can be used to kill the machine gun with a single shot.
The machine gunners of the Ming army can only constantly change positions and cannot provide continuous fire support.
This made the Ming army very uncomfortable, after all, the Ming army has always been known for its fierce artillery fire.
Now that there is no artillery support, fighting such a bad battle without advantages, the general Ming army troops really can't bear it.
The signal flare went out, and after two hours, the sun rose high, and the casualties of the Ming army in the encirclement exceeded thirty percent, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived.
Gerasimov, who was stupid enough to go home, was actually seduced by a dozen people and went in another direction with dozens of people.
I don't know if it's greedy for life and afraid of death, or if I'm really stupid.
There were only about 20 people in the Russian army who stayed outside the forest, and they did not dare to come out to support when they heard the gunfire inside, but only dared to guard the infantry chariots of the Ming army and wait outside the forest.
According to Tumenovski, their task was to prevent the Polish partisans from escaping from the jungle.
This is an unreliable statement, as long as everyone knows, this guy is worried about his own life.
Oddly enough, the infantry chariots of the Ming army did not seem to be worried.
But they really can't do anything, so they can't drive their chariots into the woods and make a way out of them.
"Chief of Staff, when will the reinforcements arrive? Our casualties are increasing, and several squads of machine gunners have been replaced by a third.
Their grenadiers are always staring at our machine guns. It's so fucking annoying. ”
The company commander was a little anxious, and the casualties had exceeded thirty percent.
But the legendary reinforcements still haven't arrived!
As soon as the company commander's words fell, a loud roar was heard in the sky.
It's the sound of an airship, and although it's been modified, the sound of the engine is still deafening.
Through the cracks in the forest, you can see the huge figure of the airship in the sky.
It is huge in the eyes of the Poles, but it is far from enough in the eyes of the old monkeys.
These are small airships in Daming, at most.
There are not many such airships in the Ming army, and most of them are used as battlefield ambulance.
That is, landing a few kilometers away from the battlefield and pulling the wounded to a field hospital only thirty kilometers away from the battlefield.
It was with these things that the Ming army effectively completed the battlefield rescue and saved many wounded soldiers.
Veterans who have participated in the war are all treasures in the army. Those who have been injured are the treasures of treasures.
The lessons learned from the pain and disability are sorted out and sent to the rehabilitation center for the training of recruits.
Let those newcomers not make the mistakes made by their predecessors again.
This is a magic weapon to effectively reduce casualties!
The reason why the Ming army was able to use one million soldiers against more than nine times the European coalition forces.
Relying on the excellent recruit training system, the Ming army carried through the passivity in the early stage of the war, and the Ming army continuously sent excellent soldiers who had undergone strict military training to the front line.
Instead of conscripting the common people, stuffing them with a random gun, and sending them to the front before they understood what was going on in unison.
Although the Mongolian regiment was not a descendant of the Ming army, it received a lot of training. Even, because they were Mongols and cannon fodder regiments, they were trained more strictly.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
This is also the situation that there are no bunkers, no field fortifications, and no superiority in firepower, a Mongolian company can be tough for four hours against the enemy army several times its own and still not fall behind.
The huge roar of machinery in the sky caused the Polish partisans to collapse quickly.
They are guerrillas, not regular troops. Because of the desire to eat this Ming army, the guerrillas of the entire Volyn area, plus the guerrillas in the nearby areas, are all gathered here.
Even in order to prepare for this encirclement, there were more than 300 Polish regular troops who secretly crossed the Ukrainian border in the dark night.
It was not 300 or 500 men who surrounded the old monkeys, but 1,100 mixed units of the regular Polish army and partisans.
And the commander was Erich von Manstein, the flower of the famous German generals.
By remaining on the Eastern Front to deal with the recalcitrant Poles, Manstein missed a series of battles on the Western Front.
He was absent from the Battle of Paris, and he was still absent from the Battle of England.
Seeing Guderian and Rommel receiving awards for their meritorious service, Manstein was extremely jealous.
Therefore, he targeted the Ming army.
Hit the French, take Paris, fight the British, take London!
Look at the glory of the scenery, look at the eyebrows raised. But everyone knows what the French and British are today.
The French, who had already been smashed by the Ming army, had broken the ridges. The British, in addition to heavy losses on the Russian battlefield.
The main force has just been killed by the Ming army in Gibraltar, 200,000 people!
200,000 people, this is already the whole essence of the British Empire's army.
Defeat such a Frenchman, defeat such an Englishman. What happened to the occupation of Paris, and what happened to the occupation of London.
Lao Tzu wants to fight the Ming people, and as soon as he makes a move, he will kill the Ming people who have become an establishment.
It was a battalion that was going to be killed, and at least two companies. Unexpectedly, the Ming army just came to a company.
A company!
Faced with such a delicious fat meat, how could he not eat it in one bite, Manstein almost went crazy with joy after knowing the number of Ming troops entering the forest.
But the combat effectiveness of the Ming army really made him eaten.
Obviously ambushed, he still held out for four hours, and so far, it looks like he can last for several hours.
However, with his military knowledge, he knew that it was impossible to gather an army in four hours to surround him in such a large wooded area.
At least he has two to three hours left, estimated.
But he never expected that the Ming army would actually use airships. And there are so many airships!
He was at the top of a large tree and could see more clearly.
There are dozens of airships all over the sky. And the airships are flying in all directions.
In the mountains and forests, airships are far faster than people.
These airships were about five kilometers away, dropping a rope from the sky. Then, the Ming soldiers landed on the ground along these ropes.
After finally hoisting a huge box, the airship staggered away.
Manstein closed his eyes in pain, the Ming army's tactics were too extreme. Almost instantly, all the places within a radius of five kilometers were guarded by the Ming army, and they were surrounded.
On the position of the Ming army, red smoke soon floated up. An airship quickly flew over the head of the Ming army's position, and then the double-two-five rapid-fire guns on the side of the airship began to fire recklessly.
Twenty-five-millimeter shells rained down like raindrops, and these shells swept the line and strafed every tree in the forest, as well as the Polish partisans hiding behind the trees.
The thick pine trees simply could not withstand the penetration of twenty-five-mm shells.
The Polish partisans collapsed almost instantly!
