Chapter 187 Desperate
"The Qing army's artillery is gone, on board!!" I don't know who shouted. The Japanese army, which had been suppressed just now, regained their composure, and under the command of junior officers, began to attack the position. The remaining artillery was no longer able to
stopped the opponent's attack, but fortunately they still had machine guns, light and heavy machine guns from
Dense fire nets formed on the front, sides, and even the back, suppressing the attacking Japanese troops within 500 meters in front of the position. "Recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns." This sentence later spread among the Japanese army.
And it was the Battle of Yuefeng Mountain that really made them realize the power of machine guns.
. Veterans can tell the direction and impact point of the artillery shell by the sound of it in the air. But the machine gun is different. A machine gun with a firing rate of 600 per minute is like a whip, hitting the ground tightly, and the possibility of hitting with one shot is
It's very small, but the probability of hitting a few hundred rounds is huge. Some soldiers
The soldiers thought that everything would be fine if they lay down. But apart from direct shooting, Beiyang's machine gunners could still fire indirect fire, which is a magical skill! The rain of bullets falling from their heads was hard to guard against. The Japanese soldiers didn't know what
At that moment, a bullet flew from above their heads and cracked open their skulls.
Ah! With a scream, a bullet opened a hole in the head of a Japanese soldier hiding behind a rock. Red blood and white brains immediately flew away, splashing all over the people around him. Some people with weak willpower
Unable to withstand such stimulation, he shouted and rushed out of the bunker.
After taking two steps, several bullets hit the collapsed soldier at the same time. After struggling for a few steps, he finally fell to the ground. Those who were not calm and unlucky were all killed by machine guns, and the rest were also under machine gun fire.
They were struggling to survive under pressure. This wave of offensive seemed to have been resolved.
The sound of objects flying through the air at high speed from down the mountain suddenly made the Beiyang officers and soldiers hiding in the trenches feel a little uneasy. "It's artillery. The Japanese army pushed the field artillery to the front line and fired closely!" Shao Yu looked at the people at the foot of the mountain.
A gun that moved forward said. In order to deal with the machine guns in the bunker on the mountain, the mortar cannot do it. This thing is stupid.
It is heavy and has a short range. The 75mm field gun or mountain gun can be pushed forward, and then a bulletproof steel plate is added to the gun. In this way, the bullets of the machine gun can also be ignored. The accuracy of the direct-fire artillery is naturally higher. Those that have been exposed will not come.
The machine guns that were and could be transferred, or that were difficult to transfer immediately, were knocked out one by one!
With the massive loss of machine gun firepower, the entire Qing army's fire network gradually collapsed. The Japanese army, which had been suppressed just now, instantly became active, picked up the rifles in their hands and rushed forward. Hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. Compared to
As the morale of the Japanese army increased, the morale of the Qing army was further shaken. The old army, which originally performed well in the smooth battle, had its morale shaken when its artillery was destroyed and machine gun firepower was lost.
Faced with the business of bright bayonets and sharp weapons piercing the body, and the battlefield where blood and flesh were everywhere, some people finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to retreat, and this retreat quickly spread among the old Qing army like an infectious disease.
Just as the brothers of the new army were either picking up rifles with bayonets or carrying various pistols to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, some of the old army could no longer bear the pressure of death and began to choose to escape.
"Don't look at them. You have a higher chance of surviving facing the enemy than with your back to the enemy!" Shao Yu glanced at the partially retreating old army and said. He is a general of the New Beiyang Army, not the old army. If there are deserters, there will naturally be supervisors behind them.
Team to deal with it. All he has to do is command his men to hold the position!
"In hand-to-hand combat, officers and soldiers are truly equal when facing each other's bayonets. The distance is so close that there is no so-called rear. Bunkers no longer work. Both sides use courage and skill to crush their opponents face to face!" Shao Yu commented on hand-to-hand combat many years later. But
It is a pity that the weapon Shao Yu chose in his first hand-to-hand combat
But it is very incorrect. Others have to pull out pistols, or use rifles with bayonets, or some have chosen to use sabers or other things. But as for Shao Yu, well, maybe it is because he likes it too much.
machine gun, he actually picked up a light machine gun nearby and rushed forward. Don't tell me, this thing has never been
It's really satisfying to rush up from the side and sweep the flanks of the charging Japanese army. But the problem is that there is a distance between you and the Japanese army. You can shoot at the Japanese army unscrupulously. But other people's artillery can also hit you! This guy is also very lucky.
A shell exploded more than 20 meters away from it, causing a huge shock wave
Knocked him down directly. Several shrapnels also penetrated Shao Yu's body. At that time, Shao Yu felt numb all over and couldn't stand up! As the saying goes, if you are sick and kill you, look at Qixun being blown up by the shell.
Of course, the Japanese army would not let go of this opportunity. So a small Japanese army team rushed over.
Boom, the bayonet, moon and pistol duel is happening here again. But this time, the situation is not good. The two sides haven't gotten entangled yet. You can fight with a pistol, and other people's rifles can also shoot, and Shao Yu is the commander here.
The personnel directly under the Ministry are not equipped with many combat pistols! They are all for self-defense.
In addition, they are a small team with a large number of people, and they are a fighting force. Even if the pistol fires fast enough, it still cannot stop the Japanese charge. It seems that the Japanese are about to stab these Qing soldiers with bayonets who have difficulty standing up.
When he was in the body, a group of old Beiyang soldiers with braids rushed up.
"Uh." In Shao Yu's eyes, these old troops rushing up were too dazzling compared to those that were escaping. The leader held an ordinary-style ghost-headed weapon in one hand, and the other
He was carrying a box cannon with a 20-round long magazine. Just like the Nanyang New Army, he had to use the box cannon to sweep it up first, knock off part of it, and then go up to fight.
The big man at the head did not hold the gun flat or hold the gun with both hands like ordinary people. Instead, it was designed like a self-defense pistol. Historically, the muzzle winding of box guns was very serious. Especially when firing continuously,
It's even more serious. In this plane, after Xu Jie used 25mm long bullets, the problem reached a point where it was basically impossible to stabilize with one hand.
The degree of design. However, this man holds the gun with one hand. He still fires in short bursts, but every time the muzzle jumps up, it is suppressed just right! Such strong wrist strength. "Master, if nothing else,
This wrist strength is enough for an average person to last for more than 5 years." Shao Yuxin said. After the shooting stage, the rest will have to talk with cold weapons. I saw this man will
As soon as the gun is hung on the belt, the knife is wielded. Although a large blade is not too fancy, it is short, fast, steady, accurate, and ruthless. It is a real killing move on the battlefield! It will never be sloppy. Look for the right opportunity to kill with one blow.
"Okay, my life is saved." Shao Yu stood up unsteadily, took out his pistol and then picked up a saber and rushed forward.
Compared with the top of the mountain where the killings were raging, the back slope was eerily quiet. Nie Shicheng stood on the mountainside, looking at the rout rushing down not far away, with shame, humiliation and anger welling up on his face. "It's so embarrassing.
, I was very happy when I took the money, but collapsed as soon as something happened." A soldier next to him muttered in a low voice. "Junmen, this is entering 2
There are more than 00 people. If you are engaged in military law..." Feng Yihe next to him couldn't bear it. He already had a psychological barrier when he followed his brother. He usually just killed a few typical people. But this time there were more than 200 people.
Ah, this machine gun kills people very quickly! Once the two machine guns of the supervising team fire, there may not be many people left alive!
"Let's go! Let those scum see how this battle should be fought!" Killing the defeated troops is definitely not a good choice now. When I think of guns later, what will the people fighting on the mountain think? I'm afraid the first impression in my mind is
Being cut off? And killing more than 200 people at once, Nie Shicheng was really a little bit uncomfortable. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to think about what Xu Jie mentioned when he was chatting with Xu Jie, "
brother
The words I told you above will always boost morale more than any words!" Yes. The officers and soldiers are unanimous. It is always much better for an officer to rush to the front and lead by example than to shout slogans in vain! Thinking of this, Nie Shicheng turned around and said to the guard camp behind him
He shouted: "It belongs to you, come with Nie Shicheng to kill the Japanese pirates!" Then the old general grabbed a rifle from the hands of others and took the lead in rushing forward. Perhaps Nie Shicheng had great prestige in the army, or perhaps this action was indeed
point
The morale was ignited. The more than 500 soldiers behind them shouted "kill" and quickly followed. The Qing army, which was running down the mountain, saw Nie Shicheng coming up with more than 500 soldiers. Are you still running? Then
This person can
It was so shameless. Except for a few who ran to both sides, most of the people just stood there and stared blankly at everything in front of them. "Get out of here, don't act like a boss." A soldier said one by one.
The defeated army in front was kicked to the rear
, said contemptuously. Then he rushed towards the mountain without even looking. The other people also followed the same example and pushed aside the defeated army in front of them. Everyone is bloody. Not to mention looking at their own commander.
They all went up,
What else do you have to be afraid of? Life? Everyone is equal before bullets. Money? Nie Shicheng doesn’t have much more money than you? Besides, is there any use having more money after a person dies? Future? The battle has been lost, and
What future is there?
"Fight!" A defeated soldier gritted his teeth. He picked up the rifle in his hand and rushed forward with the team in front. Human beings are social creatures. When someone takes the lead, people's courage will expand geometrically. Human beings
This is why the more people you have, the bolder you will be. As these hundreds of people rushed towards the Yuefeng Mountain position, the overall situation was basically decided. The Japanese army was actually constantly increasing its troops to attack, but as a group of Japanese troops moved up
Rushing, he found that the number of Qing troops on the mountain was also increasing. And
And as the two sides became entangled, artillery and other artillery could no longer be used. At this time, it depended on pistols and bayonets. Nie Shicheng was still very good at learning. After fighting Oshima Yoshimasa, in view of the Qing army's fear of close combat,
They also specialize in studying
The Nanyang New Army adopted the box artillery and bayonet style of play. A batch of box artillery was urgently transported from Lushun for urgent use. As a result, close combat became a nightmare for the Japanese army. After all, no matter how good you are at bayonet practice, you can still fight hard.
But it’s a box cannon!!
