Chapter 45: Prancing Horse Central Plains (1) fierce battle

Today in China, the Army only has one 150-heavy artillery standard, which belongs to the Imperial Guard. During the Wuchang Crisis, the Beiyang Army could not mobilize this artillery standard. The 75-caliber artillery is considered to be the largest caliber support artillery for the domestic infantry today.

Wang Yujia was an expert. Hearing the density of the bullets, he was moved and said: "At least one gun mark!" The 75 guns equipped by the Beiyang Army were mostly German camp guns or Schneider mountain guns. Most of them were retreat guns, and their rate of fire was simply impossible.

Compared with the latest mountain artillery equipped by the Anhui Army, even Wang Yujia, an expert, misunderstood the scale.

As he was talking, a call came from the front asking for help. Wu Jinbiao said that he had encountered a large-scale artillery attack by the People's Army and was organizing a counterattack. He asked for reinforcements in preparation for the counterattack. He also pointed out that the People's Army artillery was outside the range of the Beiyang Army's artillery, which showed that the People's Army was equipped with

A more advanced artillery piece.

Feng Guozhang was not too worried. Even if the Anhui army could fight, the Beiyang army would not be far behind. Moreover, the Anhui army was only a mixed alliance, and there were three to four thousand troops in front. It would not be a problem to defend one for a day or two.

"It seems that we need to give these Anhui greenskins some color." Feng Guozhang said to himself. Wang Yujia was not so relaxed beside him, but a little worried.

"Your troops immediately launch an attack on the Black Mountain line of Xianghe River, break through the Black Mountain line, and surround the Greenskin Army from the flanks. Call Li Chun back and tell him that there are no reinforcements, and you must hold off the Greenskin Army."

Feng Guozhang calmly issued the order. Wang Yujia thought about it for a while and reminded him: "It is better to let Wang Zhanyuan send a target to support Li Chun. After all, Li Chun's tribe has suffered losses in front of the Green Skin."

Feng Guozhang pondered again and again and nodded.

Ma Jizeng was worried about the front and led his guards to the Guodishan position. Ma Jizeng knew how powerful the green-skinned army was. If they were defeated again this time, he was afraid that Master Feng would have his head chopped off. The last time he was defeated, Feng Guozhang wanted to shoot Ma Jizeng.

, Zhang Jingyao, or Li Chun begged for mercy. Only then did the two names remain.

The Qing army had about a thousand people on the Guodishan position. After half an hour of artillery fire, the casualties on the position were close to 10%. This was also the loss suffered last time. This time, after Zhang Jingyao took Guodishan, he did not let the soldiers

Rest immediately and dig fortifications first.

Even so, after half an hour of shelling and dense rain of bullets, it was like being in hell.

Before dawn, the greenskin army had already launched the first wave of attacks. Taking advantage of the cover of the morning light, they quickly approached the first position. Zhang Jingyao walked around with his sword in hand, cheering up his brothers.

Even so, Zhang Jingyao, who had set up three lines of defense, still exceeded expectations.

In just ten minutes, the first position was broken through. Zhang Jingyao didn't even realize how the position was lost. There were two teams of people on the position, more than 200 guns, and two Maxims. After the last shelling.

Zhang Jingyao learned some lessons and became more concealed when arranging machine gun positions.

But this was not much better, and it was still arranged on the front. Maxim's suppression did work. Even if the formation was dispersed, the attacking troops suffered casualties caused by machine gun suppression. However, the machine gun was not powerful before it was shot down.

Dropped.

This time the machine gun was knocked out not by the mortar, but by the sniper following the cover.

There were four snipers like Liu Erjiang. They fell behind the team, working in pairs. Their purpose was clear, which was to knock out the Beiyang Army's machine gun fire points and shoot the officers.

Liu Erjiang, a native of Shuangqiao, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, was born as a farmer. Liu Erjiang's good harpoon skills can easily hit the black harpoon hidden in the water. A flood destroyed Liu Erjiang's home, and more than a thousand people gathered in the county to grab food and patrol.

The battalion opened fire. Liu Erjiang escaped and went up the mountain to become a bandit. Probably because of his good eyesight, Liu Erjiang's shooting scores improved quickly. Once

Someone came to Wuhu City. Liu Erjiang, who had good academic performance in night school, was selected and went to the outside of Wuhu City to receive a very special training. Liu Erjiang was not afraid of hardship, but he was afraid that the officers and soldiers in Wuhu would not want him. In Wuhu

, the food was good, and the braised pork was enough for every meal. When I first arrived in Wuhu, let alone the braised pork, I couldn’t bear the smell.

In order to be able to eat meat every meal, Liu Erjiang worked extremely hard. More than 300 people received training, and most of them were eliminated. In the end, only about a hundred people remained. If Liu Erjiang hadn't been uneducated, he would have been in the top ten. However,

When it comes to marksmanship, he is number one.

Holding a sniper rifle with a scope, Liu Erjiang felt particularly friendly when he first saw this thing. He felt that he could know what the gun was intended to do. The team required that no matter what he did every day, the gun should not be left behind. Liu Erjiang slept.

They all held this gun.

After a year of training, Liu Erjiang became one of the first snipers. In the last battle, Liu Erjiang was unable to fight because he suffered from the cold. Looking back, he heard some of his companions bragging, which really put him out.

So this time, Liu Erjiang held back his strength and must fight hard.

The Maxim machine gun on the position had just started to fire when Liu Erjiang targeted it. Another group also targeted it, but failed to kill it several times. Liu Erjiang observed carefully in the hiding place and silently calculated in his mind.

The ferocious faces of the Qing army inside became his target.

Lock! Pull the trigger! The machine gunner's skull turned into watermelon flesh. Lock again, pull the trigger, and kill the two replacement machine gunners, making the machine gun completely misfire.

Without the suppression of the machine gun, the leading commando team of the first battalion rushed to the front of the formation thirty or forty meters away, and fired a grenade. Before the smoke cleared, the commando team had already climbed up to attack. But in the blink of an eye, the commando team rushed to the first position. One manpower

A box cannon, the regiment leader put all the box cannons in the regiment to use, and also borrowed submachine guns from the supply camp.

This kind of firepower entered the position, but the screams of the Qing army were everywhere, and personal bravery was meaningless in front of the rain of bullets.

The Qing army was beaten so hard that some of them knelt down and surrendered. More than a hundred people fled, and the commando team pursued them fiercely.

Facing the greenskin army again, Zhang Jingyao once again felt that irresistible feeling. You can't say how fierce this group of greenskins fought, but they were really tricky! The commando team rushed forward like an awl, tearing open the gap.

Immediately rush in to follow up.

What's even more terrible is the weird light machine gun. There are more than one of them, and they keep making a buzzing noise. They can't even raise their heads when they are pressed down on the position. The Beiyang Army is known as the best in the country, and it always suppresses others.

The last time I lost, it was okay, I was beaten by surprise. This time, I was fully prepared, but I was still beaten in vain.

An hour after the attack was launched, the second position was also breached. Zhang Jingyao had no choice but to run around and supervise the battle. After finally capturing the second position, the Greenskin Army's offensive weakened slightly and gradually paused.

Before Zhang Jingyao could take a breath, someone asked from behind: "What happened? So many people occupied such a position, why were they beaten like this?"

Zhang Jingyao turned around and said in shock: "Master Ma, why are you up here?"

It was Ma Jizeng who spoke. He arrived with a battalion of reinforcements. Seeing that there was only a small peak left in the Guodishan position, he was shocked. The last time, Ma Jizeng was forced to retreat by the defeated army, and he felt very unhappy.

Convinced. This time, I was holding back my energy and wanted to avenge my previous humiliation. I never thought of going up to the position and took a look, but I was dumbfounded.

"It's not that brothers don't work hard, it's that the green-skinned army is fighting very cunningly." Taking advantage of the pause of the Anhui army, Zhang Jingyao hurriedly reported the process. Finally, he said: "Since you are here, let's take a look. Fortunately, there are reinforcements.

By now, the morale of the brothers has also improved."

As soon as he finished speaking, a whistling sound came. "Artillery attack, take cover quickly! Pull the adults down quickly." Zhang Jingyao dragged the horse Jizeng to the back. On the way, several artillery shells exploded dozens of meters away. Fortunately, the Greenskin Army

The target of the attack was on the position, and Ma Jizeng was able to retreat safely. However, he persisted and came back, finding a hiding place to watch the battle.

This time the Anhui army fought more ferociously, barrage advancing! This trick was learned by the French after suffering numerous losses in the First World War, and the Anhui army used it in advance.

Ma Jizeng witnessed an unprecedented attack battle. The greenskin army rushed forward in skirmish formation. With little resistance, they fell to the ground and counterattacked. Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and raindrops of firepower fell on the top of the mountain.

The Beiyang Army fired desperately, and several Maxims spewed out tongues of flame. As soon as they suppressed the momentum below, the machine gun position was immediately hit.

Ma Jizeng saw one machine gunner's brains flying. As soon as another machine gunner went up, a shell fell down. With a bang, the machine gun position was destroyed. Ma Jizeng endured the fear in his heart and looked at the mountains down the mountain with his binoculars.

Greenskin Army.

Tongues of flames flew upwards. Some familiar Maxims were firing, and some unknown individual machine guns. There were also some iron-pipe cannons. Through the telescope, I could clearly see the greenskins firing shells into them, making a thump-dong-dong sound.

sound!

The Beiyang Army's counterattack cannot be said to be fierce. Greenskin soldiers continued to fall, but they were not frightened at all. When one person fell, someone immediately followed. There were also some soldiers carrying boxes and rushing to the injured soldiers.

After a simple bandage, we carried the wounded soldiers back and retreated. We could still see some civilians carrying stretchers.

Ten minutes later, this attack was defeated again. Ma Jizeng breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Jingyao came to report the results. The battalion that had just arrived and the group of soldiers that had just been launched had lost more than half. Needless to say, the machine guns were all destroyed.

Knocked out.

Ma Jizeng took a breath. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that this battle could still be fought like this? The elite Beiyang Army, the number one in the country, was so tired even on defense, so what better way to attack?

"No, this situation must be reported immediately." Ma Jizeng quickly wrote a text and sent one of the guards around him to deliver the message. As soon as the guards left, the whistle started again.

When Ma Jizeng was secretly complaining, he suddenly turned around and saw flames shooting into the sky in the direction of Meiniang Mountain behind him, and he immediately shouted: "No!"!~!
