Chapter 181: Snow Battle? Bloody battle? (below)
The Mongols in the darkness had muskets, but they didn't use them, but they all fought back with arrows.
But what is desperate is that the machine gun fire has killed many Outer Mongolians without knowing anything.
But on their side, one soldier after another was shot down by arrows.
No one knows why!
In a tense and exciting situation, no one wonders why.
Why can the Outer Mongolians see them, but they can't see the Outer Mongolians!
In fact, if someone can calm down, they can figure it out.
It's a very simple secret adaptation principle.
There were campfires on their side before, and many people had been accustomed to the light, but rarely to the darkness.
Even if the bonfire in the back is reduced a lot, as soon as the gun is fired, the fire is shining, and it is still difficult to solve the problem of dark adaptation in a short time.
On the contrary, even if they are far away and blocked by wind and snow, the Outer Mongolians can judge the enemy's position by the flames spewed by their guns.
You don't need to be too precise, just shoot at the area where the fire is flickering, and if one arrow doesn't work, you can get a few more arrows.
It's a pity that if they were stationed somewhere in the Central Plains, they would definitely have a searchlight.
It's a pity that they didn't have the conditions to set up searchlights on the steppe, and as for flares, they were indeed used during the First World War.
But in China, flares are still unpopular and difficult to get a good object, and they don't have them either.
Boom!
With a bang, a grenade thrown by a soldier in a hurry set off a burst of dazzling fire.
Now everyone finally saw the enemy's situation clearly.
Person!
There are people everywhere!
And it's already close!
In the light of the fire, their mouths opened wide.
I saw the Outer Mongolians who were already close at hand, galloping horses and wielding war swords.
There was a thick layer of snow on his body, and the horses were jumping and flying with sheep felt hats on their heads.
The sword in his hand shimmered scarlet in the light of the fire.
Poof!
Poof!
With the sound of blades breaking through the body, the war horse continued to gallop in front of the trench.
With their skillful horsemanship, they were able to reach the bottom of the horses with only their legs to the bottom of the horses, and then cut the necks of the soldiers standing in the trenches.
Probably kill one or two, and they will soon be shot into a sieve by the ensuing barrage of bullets.
But more often than not, there is no time for anything else.
At present, there are very few soldiers who can maintain their shooting steadily.
When they saw that the cavalry was close at hand, except for the heavily protected and stable output of the machine gunners at the high ground, the rest of the people were almost overwhelmed by this primal fear.
A bloody battle was unfolding in various areas of the defensive line of the twenty miles.
It is almost the same routine, taking advantage of the wind and snow and night to cover, and in an instant, it is interspersed and horizontal among the various trenches, as if entering a no-man's land.
There is still a lot of resistance, and the machine gunners in each camp are constantly being exported.
But this output is very flustered and at a loss.
Because when they spotted the enemy, the enemy was already galloping in their own positions.
At such times, indiscriminate shooting requires great psychological pressure.
Some of the machine gunners were soft-hearted, and their fire was up and down, but this only hastened the fall of the position.
The other side didn't think about charging collectively at all, but charged freely, so it was clear that the position was full of cavalry.
In hesitation, the machine gun spun around, and the central hub was about to turn and smoke, killing many people, but there were enemies all around, and finally he was also swept away by the cavalry rushing into the position at a rapid speed.
Some positions are still being held, but with little success.
The cavalry fought with high mobility, and when the position was washed in blood, there was little resistance.
If you find that the rest of the place is still full of gunfire, then the cavalry on this side will quickly rush to the rescue.
Gradually, even the camp that could still stand strong gradually fell silent under the enemy's back.
At the same time, Regiment Commander Li, who was pointing to a map in the camp and drawing cakes for Adjutant Zhou, was suddenly interrupted by a hurried summons.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no, sir! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
"Enemy attack?!"
Seeing the anxious face of the messenger in front of him, Li Jun's eyes lit up.
It's good to come!
"What's going on now? How many enemies are there? Which direction is currently being attacked? ”
Li Jun's successive inquiries were quickly thrown.
Hearing this, the young messenger was a little choked.
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Li Jun frowned, "Say!" ”
"Back to the sir, the lowly position is a battalion of messengers, the enemy.... The number of enemies is not clear! But a lot! There are enemies everywhere! Our battalion commander said that he couldn't hold it anymore and needed support urgently! ”
The messenger gritted his teeth and reported quickly
At present, almost except for the Central Army and the descendants of several local tyrant warlords, almost all troops at the regimental level and below are not equipped with radio stations.
Li Jun has one and the only one on his side, or is it only equipped with a command center.
It is temporarily deployed by the superior to facilitate his timely reporting to the peak.
Therefore, most of them are that once each company encounters any situation, it will quickly send designated personnel to report to manpower and report at all levels.
"A battalion? It seems that this group of Outer Mongolians is still a little smart, this is planning to attack the headquarters! ”
Hearing this, Li Jun smiled instead, took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it and took a deep breath, now he is not in a hurry.
"Sir!"
Seeing this, the messenger from the first battalion was a little anxious, and their first battalion was in a critical situation.
Almost instantly, the entire section of the defensive line that their battalion was responsible for, and several camps were attacked in unison, and they were stunned at once.
"That's it!"
Li Jun beckoned to his lieutenant beside him.
"Inform the 2nd and 3rd battalions nearby, and send a company each to support the first battalion!
Oh no! Cover the retreat of the 1st battalion to both sides, since the purpose is the headquarters, then I will put an opening for them! ”
I have to say that the Outer Mongolian people are still a little clever, and they have quietly figured out his command headquarters in the past few days.
It's a bit smart, but unfortunately not much.
"It's sir!"
The adjutant gave a quick salute and hurried out of the headquarters.
With all that done, Command regained calm.
Several staff officers also breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on their faces.
They are still relatively relieved about safety, after all, there is a support battalion here, and an equipment reinforcement company.
Maybe the Outer Mongolians finally tore through the defense line, but they found that the firepower here was even more fierce, so they were afraid that they would vomit blood in anger, right?
"Captain Li, nothing will happen, right?"
Adjutant Zhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, vaguely felt that something was not good, and said with some concern.
"Huh! Adjutant Zhou is in control, and Adjutant Zhou should not forget that this is in the army! ”
Li Jun smiled, and this also made Adjutant Zhou feel shocked, and he hurriedly stopped saying more.
In the army, it is imperative not to exceed its authority, and Adjutant Zhou still understands this.
And he also violated the rules with this question just now, this is the command headquarters is okay, if it is listened to by the people below, it will affect the morale of the army in serious cases.
Thinking of this, he looked at Commander Li with more convincing eyes.
Head Li seems to be very reliable!
