Chapter 385: How to Break the Barbed Wire?

Turgrev looked down in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest, and reached out to block the blood that was flowing outward, but the blood eventually flowed out between his fingers.

The body is gradually chilling.

He knows.

I'm done with myself.

The bullet passed through the left chest.

The large blood vessels that pierced the lungs, let alone now, even if he were not sent to the ICU in the 21st century immediately, I am afraid that he would be powerless.

The fall of Turgrev became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

A large number of Russian soldiers collapsed.

They turned around, fled, and left their backs to the Ming soldiers behind.

This is simply unwise.

Because if they can withstand the casualties and continue to shoot at the Ming army, although the shooting record is superior, they can still withstand it for a while.

After all, there are swishing bullets suppressing, and the soldiers of the Ming army are not immortals, they must be nervous, and their aiming will not be too accurate.

But now they just turned and ran away.

What was left for the Ming soldiers was their backs, and after there were no bullets to suppress, many Ming soldiers got up from the ground and shot in a kneeling position, hitting faster and more accurately!

"Let the 12th Infantry Division retreat! Hurry up! ”

Musayev's back molars are about to be crushed.

He stood on a high place and could see clearly with a telescope.

He originally wanted to defeat a deception so that the Chinese would have more confidence in fighting a field war.

But the current situation made him realize

Perhaps it is the Russian army that should avoid field battles!

The Chinese developed a tactic that was very suitable for rear-loading guns, and they crushed the Russian 12th Infantry Division with few casualties.

Now it's all right.

It was meant to be a deception.

It turned out to be really defeated.

If you continue to fight, a Russian infantry division may be directly annihilated!

The huge gap in combat effectiveness sent chills down Musayev's back.

Two years have passed.

I thought I had caught up with my former opponent.

There is a barbed wire, a rifled gun, and a bottom expansion list.

As a result, people changed their guns and loaded them!

The pace of change in the military is too fast.

It's so fast that it's overwhelming.

"General! It seems that the plan of the field war is about to be canceled, and we cannot fight the opponent in the field in this situation!! ”

Talking was the commander of the 8th Army of the Russian Imperial Army, Major General Kholkat.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was very ugly.

The division that has just been dispatched is the elite at his disposal, and it can be said that it is also quite an elite unit in the combat sequence of the Russian army.

As a result, he was defeated by someone who chopped melons and vegetables!

"We have no choice but to use trenches and barbed wire against them! This is also the way they invented play, and now it's time for them to learn and learn! ”

Musayev was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Temporary changes to plans.

It's really not very lucky.

But this is war.

Musayev knew that the previous plan of a "decisive battle in the field" was no longer feasible.

Case.

Then the Russian army can only rely on trenches and barbed wire to fight a trench war with the Ming army!

"Order, fortifications, take out all the barbed wire!"

"Yes!"

The way of fighting barbed wire and trenches was an invention of the Ming army.

And it soon spread throughout Europe,

in Western Europe.

Immediately after defeating the anti-French army, the French withstood a counterattack from the east with barbed wire and trenches.

And the battles between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans also showed that in the current war, the advantage of the defenders is huge!

Up to now.

No army has breached the fortifications consisting of barbed wire and trenches.

Musayev emboldened himself with these experiences from the battlefields of Eastern Europe.

But don't know why.

He always felt a little uneasy.

"Drop the thunder and leave?"

Fang Yufang's brigade from Zhaoqing, Guangdong, looked at the Russian army retreating like a tide with a black face.

If the other side supports it for a while, he will already command the howitzer battalion to move in place, and when the time comes, these Russian soldiers will not be able to run if they want to.

Just a little bit!

"The commander of the Rakshasa ghost seems to be quite good, as soon as they fight, they know that they are not opponents, and if they continue to fight, it will only increase casualties." Chen Dewang, who went to the front line to inspect, said.

"Have all the casualties been counted?" Fang Yu turned his head to look at the staff officers behind him.

A staff officer hurriedly said: "Brigade commander, our army has 58 killed and 73 wounded, including 19 seriously wounded, and it seems that it will be difficult to save it." 288 rakshasas were killed, and the number of wounded is unknown. ”

"One to five! One person for five ghosts! Fang Yu sneered, "A Han enemy and five hus, it seems that as long as we have the determination to dare to sacrifice at this station, the Rakshasa ghost is definitely not an opponent!" ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yu frowned.

"The casualty ratio is so huge, they may not come out to fight with us again, and then it may be a siege of barbed wire!"

"It's no big deal, it's useless for them to hide in barbed wire!" Chen Dewang said with a smile.

He came from Zhongdu, and Fang Yu has been leading troops on the grassland, so he doesn't know much about some of the new tactics of the Ming Army.

"Oh? Chief of Staff, what can you do? Fang Yu asked with interest.

"It's the same as this time, just lie on the ground and break in, you can also use howitzers to cover, as long as you can break through the enemy's trenches, with the rate of fire of the guns in our hands and the number of grenades, we can definitely beat the Rakshasa ghosts."

The barbed wire and trenches, while defensively solid, were not impossible to breach.

On another plane.

Barbed wire and trenches, in fact, have to add machine guns to be considered complete.

After equipping the machine guns, if you want to break through the defense system composed of barbed wire and trenches, in addition to besieging and piling up with human lives.

One can only count on the emergence of a new war machine.

For example, tanks.

The current Ming army definitely does not have tanks.

I don't know when the internal combustion engine will come out.

But the Russians on the other side don't have machine guns either.

Not to mention machine guns, the rifles they have at hand are even very slow to have a strong front-loading rifle, although the bottom expansion bullet has raised the rate of fire of the rifled gun by a step, but the front-loading gun is the front-loading gun, and the rate of fire is unlikely to have a qualitative breakthrough.

This also means:

Although it has a defense system of barbed wire and trenches.

But the density of fire is still not enough.

Therefore, after several military exercises, the Ming army has already figured out a way to break through such a defense system.

It is true that the defense of the barbed wire and trenches in the current time and space has not been breached, but that is when the firepower and numbers are almost the same. On both sides were rifles and barbed wire squatting pit streams, and there were no long-range cannons on either side. As a result, you can only use your flesh and blood to rush hard, and the result is naturally that the defending side has the advantage.

The Ming army also did not have long-range artillery, but their artillery range was still more advantageous than that of the Russian army.

Right now.

Several heralds rushed in.

"Chief of Staff, Brigade Commander, our main force has arrived, and Yang Dashuai's handsome banner has reached 20 miles away."

Chen Dewang and Fang Yu glanced at each other.

"Chief of Staff, I won't go to Yang Dashuai's side, I still have a lot of things to do here that I can't leave." Fang Yu said.

He did have something, but it would be a bit too much to say that he couldn't walk a distance of twenty miles.

Chen Dewang shook his head.

Fang Yu enlisted in the Battle of Guangzhou, while Yang Yuchun surrendered in the Battle of Nanxiong.

He didn't go to see Yang Yuchun, which was also the arrogance of being an "old qualification".

However, Emperor Zhu asked Yang Yuchun to be the marshal, and he only considered giving some high-level people in Manmeng.

There is him, the chief of staff.

I am not afraid that the brigade commanders below will be disobedient.

"Won? Yes, yes, Fang Yu is also a tiger general! ”

Yang Yuchun was in a very good mood when he got the news, and he didn't care that Fang Yu didn't put down his troops to see him as a commander.

"Now the Russians have fenced themselves with barbed wire and trenches, Lao Chen, do you think we are besieging or attacking?"

"Of course, it is going to be attacked, and if it is besieged, we estimate that we will put cattle and sheep in this place for a year or two, which is not in line with the emperor's plan." Chen Dewang shook his head and said.

The battle was to crush the Russians' armies in Asia with a thunderbolt, and then put on a posture to enter Europe, forcing the other side to sign an alliance and redraw the borders between the two sides.

Yang Yuchun nodded: "Yes, our logistics pressure is also great, and the siege will not last long." Let's attack first. Just use the method of attacking the fortress, first push the howitzer forward, and bombard it with curved fire. ”

"Let's do it first!" Chen Dewang said with a smile, "Build fortifications tonight, rest the army during the day tomorrow, send sappers to investigate and measure, and then start at night!" ”

Now tens of thousands of people are fighting in the Argentine position, but it is not just a casual search for a flat land to play with the queue wall as before.

We must first take a defensive position, build a starting position, and also build an artillery position, and these things must be prepared for at least one day and one night, otherwise they will not be completed at all.

At the earliest, we will not be able to fight again until tomorrow night, or even the morning after tomorrow.

The fighting continued on and off.

Yang Yuchun hopes to launch an offensive on June 9.

But in fact, it was June 11.

The artillery positions of the Ming army have not yet been constructed.

The Russian side, of course, also knew what was the greatest threat to them, so they desperately attacked the positions that the assault Ming army tried to use to place artillery.

The battle was fiercely fought.

In order to cover the artillery, the howitzer was pushed enough to reach the base camp of the Russian army.

The Ming army used grain trucks to transform sandbags, and also caught a lot of Kazakhs in the surrounding Kazakh steppes to push sandbags but cannon fodder.

Early morning on June 12.

The fighting between the two sides continues.

The sandbag slowly moved forward, pulling out a long wave.

This time.

The Ming army put in more than 200 sandbags to drive more than 3,000 Kazakh cannon fodder forward, like turtles moving slowly on the flat grassland.

But anyone who knows the events of the First World War can see it at a glance.

These sandbags work like tanks.

They can cover the infantry as close as possible to the opponent's trenches.

"For howitzer shells to fall into trenches, it is best to design them at an elevation angle greater than 45 degrees to form a large curved trajectory. But then the range will be shortened to six or seven hundred paces, and in order to make the shells fall better into the trenches, it is better to push a little more! Four hundred steps! With the artillery positions set up at a distance of 400 paces, we can use the howitzer fire to suppress the Rakshasa ghosts. ”

Yang Yuchun, who was watching the battle with a telescope in the rear, couldn't help but nod when he heard Chen Dewang's words beside him.

"The Russian infantry can't match our rate of fire, and the artillery cannons can't match us. They do have some long-range artillery, but they are all 12-gun guns that fire solid shells, and as long as they rely on the bunker, they can resist it," Chen Dewang couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said here.

In Zhongdu, the genius staff officers of the General Staff of the Ming Army put forward various methods, and in the end, this method of "shield car + projectile grenade + infantry assault" was useful.

Although it is said that it is the crystallization of collective wisdom.

But it is the first time to use it in actual combat.

The defense of barbed wire trenches was an invention of the Ming army.

But how to solve it is a world-class problem.

If it works this time.

Then Chen Dewang's name may be spread all over the world.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Dewang was a little excited.

Of course.

No matter what the tactics.

Casualties are inevitable.

The number of Russian troops is much larger.

Therefore, it is best for the Ming army to compress the casualty ratio to less than one to three.

If a Ming soldier falls, at least three Russian soldiers must be replaced, so that they will not suffer.

As one shell after another hit the sandbag.

There are many overturned, lying on their stomachs, and even being blown up.

Chen Dewang's face also became solemn.

As the number of sandbags decreases. The artillery fire of the Russian army is also becoming more and more concentrated.

And the Kazakhs, who were driven up to be cannon fodder, are also about to collapse.

Every time the cannon sounded, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

The Ming soldiers behind had to go up and stab a few to death with bayonets, so they were willing to get up and continue to push forward.

And.

The Russian army, on its part, is also aware of the threat of sandbags.

So they don't just fire shells.

From time to time, infantry charges were also launched.

The roar of Ula Ula reverberated across the battlefield.

The Kazakh cannon fodder saw the fierce god-like Mao Zi soldiers rushing over, and wherever they dared to move forward, they all turned around and fled.

But this is the battlefield, where can they go to the straggler line of the Ming army?

So the crackling gunshots rang out!

The cannon fodder that rushed to the front was knocked down in rows and rows!

Only later did I remember that the Ming army had taken care of it before the attack was launched.

Once the Russian soldiers counterattacked, they had to lie down on the spot and wait for the Ming officers and soldiers to drive the Russian soldiers back.

"It's four hundred steps!"

Chen Dewang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the impact of this round was not in place, it was still very effective.

Those sandbags that fell to the ground became bunkers for the Ming infantry.

You can let the Ming infantry rely on the cover of the bunker to move forward, and when the sky gets dark, you can send sappers to expand, strengthen these bunkers, form a solid fire point, and even directly transform it into an artillery bunker!! (End of chapter)
