Chapter 412: Between Winning and Losing (2)
Ready, fire! Li Di, the general manager of artillery, saw that Lao Maozi's artillery was already in place, and was busy adjusting Zhu Yuan, and unceremoniously took the lead in issuing the order to open fire.
At this time, when they heard that their boss gave the order to open fire, they naturally did not hesitate to pull the gun rope, and with the sound of four rumbling shells, four shells roared and smashed into the Russian artillery position that was busy.
The artillery of this era has defects in both barrels and shells, and it is difficult to shoot accurately, although Yinzuo has tried his best to improve, but because the infrastructure of the cast cannon is not too hard, even if the range, power, and speed of loading and firing of the Qing army's artillery are far above the Russian artillery, but in terms of hit rate, it is still pitifully low, especially the first hit rate is even worse, but this is not difficult for Li Di.
The ghostly Li Di was originally just an ordinary gunner, and he was repeatedly promoted because of his outstanding performance in the large-scale military training, but he became a thousand generals in a year, in charge of four artillery, he did not let his four artillery pieces attack one-on-one, but the four artillery pieces were aimed at a gun position of the Russian army, but saw four shells roaring through the sky, and smashed into the third gun on the right hand side of the six Russian guns, and in the frightened screams of the Russian gunners, four shells fell to the ground, One shell fell ten meters in front of the gun position, and two shells fell behind the running position, one of which hit the ammunition truck of the Russian army, and the last shot hit the unlucky gun of the Russian army, only after hearing five loud noises - one of the loud noises was made when the Russian ammunition truck exploded, and in addition to a broken gun barrel and a tattered gun carriage on the Russian running position, even a living person was missing. There was a large crater left on the ground that was shaken out by the explosion of the Russian ammunition truck.
"Well played!"
"Well done!"
……
There was a cheer on the Qing army's position, and the Qing soldiers, who were still a little nervous before the war, suddenly had high morale, and everyone was overjoyed.
Uh-huh, good fight, this kid is really lucky! Yinzuo, who was watching the battle from a distance on the battlefield, saw this amazing scene through the telescope, and although he was happy, he didn't feel anything, he just thought it was luck. But what surprised him was still to come - not long after, four shells roared up, also hitting the position of the fourth gun on the right hand side of the Russian army, although this time it did not hit the ammunition car, and did not cause as much momentum as the first shelling, but still killed the Russian artillery and the gunner.
Ha, what a great boy, ***. This kid really has a hand at fighting, not to mention adjusting Zhu Yuan, but also knows how to shoot densely, huh? Weird, how did this kid do it? Yin Zuo thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand how the Qian, who commanded the artillery battle, could complete the measurement and adjustment of the shooting elements in such a short time. I could only look down patiently, but I made up my mind that such talents would be promoted to important positions no matter what—the expected military academy was in dire need of a large number of experienced and capable instructors.
The Russian Guards were not vegetarians after all, although in just three minutes two artillery pieces were destroyed. Morale was hit, but it was still not chaotic, quickly adjusted the artillery position, and began to fire artillery counterattacks with the order of the Russian commander, but the target of their attack was not the artillery of the Qing army, but the position of the Qing infantry - at this time, the Russian infantry phalanx that was slowly advancing had reached the point of charge one hundred and thirty meters away from the Qing army's position, and was in urgent need of artillery fire support.
The Qing army's artillery hit rate was not high, not to mention the Russian army's artillery, which was much worse. The salvo of the four guns had no effect except for blowing up a ball of dirt in front and behind the Qing army's position, although the momentum was not small, and the shrapnel flew indiscriminately, but it did not cause the slightest damage to the Qing army hiding in the trenches and watching the excitement, but it was like putting a salute flower for the Qing army to watch, and at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky led the Russian infantry team had come to a hundred and twenty meters in front of the Qing army's position, and the Qing army had not seen the Qing army shoot. He didn't think much of it either. The command knife slashed down and ordered in a loud voice: "Guards." Advance! The Russian troops, who were originally walking in a straight step, immediately began to trot, and rushed towards the Qing infantry position in an array.
Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, I never saw the Qing troops hiding in the trenches open fire, the Russian infantry phalanx slowed down a little dazedly, and I couldn't understand what tricks the Qing army was playing, and at this time the artillery on both sides was loading, and there was a strange calm on the battlefield.
"The yellow-skinned monkey is scared, get on the bayonet! Rush up and kill them all! Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky shouted and gave the order to charge. More than 1,000 Russian officers and soldiers quickly installed bayonets, spread their legs, and rushed towards the small hill where the Qing army's position was located while roaring, the speed was very fast, and they rushed to a distance of about 50 meters in an instant, and they didn't hear the gunfire of the Qing army, and all the Russian soldiers thought that the Qing army had been frightened, and they felt good about themselves and rushed wildly, but unfortunately they were too happy, and when the Russian army just rushed to within 50 meters of the Qing army's position, something happened that made the Russian army frightened- The narrow section of 40 to 50 meters in front of the Qing army's position suddenly exploded violently, and the east and west were bombed non-stop, and the Russian troops who first rushed into this area were either killed or wounded, and the stumps and broken arms flew in all directions, and many Russian officers and soldiers who had their feet broken by the explosion lay on the ground crying wolf, and the Russian soldiers who did not know what the mines were suddenly confused, and just broke through the mine array in a daze, and they were greeted by a rain of grenades, and 300 grenades flew out of the trenches like rain. Unceremoniously exploded in the dense Russian army, and the flying shrapnel once again harvested the lives of Russian soldiers in large quantities.
More than 200 Russian officers and soldiers who had been baptized by mines and grenades fell before they could even fire a shot, and the rest of the Russian troops were scurrying around like headless flies, some running back, some running sideways, and some running dizzily and running towards the Qing army position in a daze.
"Hit!" Seeing that the Russian army was in chaos, Chen Miao unceremoniously gave the order to shoot, and the Qing officers and soldiers who had just finished throwing grenades immediately raised their guns and shot. The three hundred knowing rifles fired together, and the old Maozi who was dazed and didn't know what to do immediately swept down a large area, and then Chen Miao shouted again: "Drop the bomb!" After a fierce explosion, there was no one standing in front of the Qing army's position, and those who could escape had already fled without a trace, and in addition to the dead bodies on the battlefield, only some old Maozi with missing arms and legs were left howling. The Qing soldiers reloaded the ammunition for a long time, and sent the old Maozi who were rolling and screaming like a target, and sent them back to their hometowns, which can be regarded as alleviating the pain of these wounded soldiers, and after the position was quiet, all the Qing soldiers realized that this battle was won incomparably brilliantly - only one soldier on their side was accidentally hit by a piece of shrapnel and was slightly injured, and the corpses of the Russian army alone were more than 350 people.
Victory! A big win without a doubt! All the positions of the Qing army erupted in thunderous cheers. Even Wang Changtai and other generals who were standing beside Yinzuo couldn't help but roar and scream, and the joy of victory was overflowing on the faces of every Qing officer and soldier, but only Yinzuo kept his composure, not that he was unhappy about this big victory, but that Yinzuo knew very well in his heart: the existing hole cards of the Qing army had been revealed. Landmines, grenades and these things appeared on the battlefield for the first time to achieve a brilliant victory was originally expected, and then the old Maozi who knew the secrets of the Qing army would inevitably change his tactics, and the real test was still to come, whether he could withstand the attack of the Russian army at the same time. It is still unknown whether the goal of military training will be achieved, and it is too early to talk about victory.
"Gong Rong, send someone to spread the will of the land, reward all the soldiers of the No. 1 Mountain Pack, and promote each of them to a higher rank, just say that I am very satisfied with their results, and there will be another reward after the battle, and tell them. The Russian army is about to attack in a big way, let them deal with it carefully, don't be careless, go quickly! Yinzuo commanded expressionlessly, and the generals of the Qing army, who were shouting happily, realized that they were rude in front of their own kings, and they were all busy standing up, Wang Changtai stepped forward and made a thousand promises. Busy all the way to the trot.
Fiasco! A complete fiasco! This was a fiasco that Major General Buchrusky had never encountered in his career. The intense humiliation made his face flush, and his eyes flashed with murderous light. Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky, who fled back in embarrassment, angrily gritted his teeth and stood silent.
"Report to the general, my regiment, our regiment has been plotted by the enemy, the number of dead is 380, 43 wounded, I ask the general to give my regiment another chance, my regiment swears to take that mountain bag. Lieutenant Colonel Shzydovsky stammered at first, then grew louder, gritted his teeth and begged to strike again.
"Good!" Major General Buchrusky resisted the urge to kill, nodded and said: "This is the soldier of my guards, this defeat has nothing to do with you, it is General Ben who underestimated the yellow-skinned monkey, and I can't blame you, by the way, what happened to the explosion just now?" ”
"Report to the general, the subordinate officer did not know, it seemed to be pre-buried gunpowder, but no fuse was found, our officers and soldiers just stepped into that land and caused an explosion, it is estimated that it is an explosive device buried in the ground and about to explode. Lieutenant Colonel Sydowsky thought for a moment.
"Oh?" Major General Buchrusky nodded thoughtfully, didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said: "I will transfer a company from the brigade directly under the division headquarters to supplement your regiment, and then transfer six guns to support your regiment, and in ten minutes your regiment will attack again, pay attention to the continuity of firing fire, no matter what, these yellow-skinned monkeys will hurt, go and prepare." ”
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky saluted very gratefully, ran back to the group of defeated Russian soldiers, agitated his tongue, cheered for his soldiers with all his might, and reorganized the frightened defeated soldiers in a daze, and once again lined up a neat offensive queue.
"General, look, there's movement there again from Lao Maozi. Li Di, who had just been promoted to guerrilla general, bent over and slipped to Chen Miao's side, pointing to the Russian army in the distance.
"Got it, heh, Xiao Lizi, you're in trouble this time, ***, one, two, three...... Hehe, good fellow, ten artillery pieces at a time are enough for your kid to drink a pot. Chen Miao stared at the direction of the Russian army for a while, and replied with a smile.
"Hehe, it's okay, the brothers on the No. 2 and No. 3 hills in front of the head have sent a signal, Lao Maozi's infantry will be handed over to them to take care of, I just need to fight Lao Maozi's artillery, yes, don't talk to you, I have to open meat." Li Di laughed and slipped back to the artillery position.
"This stinky boy. Chen Miao scolded with a smile, and half-turned to the Qing soldiers in the trench and said loudly: "Brothers, Lao Maozi is coming up again, this time there are no mines, everyone listen to my orders, don't shoot at will, prepare for battle, give Lao Maozi a little color!" ”
The loud trumpet in the Russian camp sounded again, the war drums sounded again, and the soldiers of the first regiment of the Russian army, who had been replenished, walked towards the Qing army position again, but they were much more cautious, the speed was not fast, and they did not go far for half a day, and the ten artillery pieces of the Russian army began to bombard the position of the Qing army without waiting for the infantry to arrive at the starting position, and the four artillery pieces on the No. 1 mountain bag of the Qing army also began to counterattack at the same time, the artillery battle between the two sides was in full swing, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the cannon rumbled.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, the Russian attack phalanx walked to a place one hundred and fifty meters away from the Qing army's position and suddenly stopped, standing in front of the Russian army's queue, Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky silently calculated the time of the Qing army's artillery, and after the Qing army's artillery fired another salvo, Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky ordered loudly: "The guards attack, run forward!" Suddenly, the Russian officers and soldiers who were standing still rushed up, and the speed was very fast, but there was no trace of confusion in the formation, and they still maintained a neat queue line......
