Chapter 213: Tragedy Night Attack(2/2)
The Mongolian army that had just approached was attacked by artillery from two brigades. The combat command drew an area on the map based on the scout's report and carried out blind spot shooting.
After two rounds of artillery attacks, the Mongolians left the body on the ground and retreated!
The infantry brigade continued to advance. In the shelling area, they found more than 8,000 corpses. The terrifying steel giant beast showed its hideous fangs for the first time.
...That night, the Mongolians attacked the Shandong Army's barracks.
As a result, the mines buried by the engineering battalion were bruised and swollen. The mines buried by the infantry brigade were the "blasting cannons" that had already appeared in the Ming Dynasty. They buried mines with fuses and iron pipes underground, and then connected these fuses with steel wheel lighters. As long as the enemy stepped on the steel wheel lighter, dozens of bomb cannons would be ignited and then an explosion would be formed in a certain area.
The landmines used in Shandong are of the enhanced version. They are filled with a lot of gunpowder and are made of large mines. Generally, a certain mine group has two to three steel wheel lighters.
The burial is very casual because it is used to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, so there is no need to pretend to be a thin layer of soil on it.
However, the buried position is very particular. In which direction the enemy will approach, then in this direction, the mine group connected to the steel wheel lighter is directly buried in a line. After the enemy in front is stepped on, the mines will explode one after another, so that all the enemies on this line cannot be spared.
This time, there are hundreds of mines connected to a steel wheel lighter. At the same time, this mine group has three or four steel wheel lighters. No matter which one is stepped on, all these hundreds of mines will explode. And these hundreds of mines are lined up in a straight line and stretched for hundreds of meters.
The Mongols stepped on landmines five miles away from the military camp. This is an early warning mine, not a dense anti-injury mine.
As soon as the landmine sounded, the guard posts outside immediately issued a gun warning.
In just five minutes, the five infantry brigades completed the assembly, while the Mongols were still rushing forward. After all, the Mongols' command system was too chaotic and could not stop the troops from advancing in the dark.
Soon the Mongols rushed to the dense mine group within one mile of the Shandong Army. There were only three directions where the Shandong Army camped and could attack. The Mongols rushed from the west, and the steel wheel lighter was stepped on one by one.
As soon as the steel wheel lighter was stepped on, the mines on the straight line were detonated one by one. The Mongolians in the night attack lined up in a dense formation, and there were more than 100,000 people, and the formation reached two or three miles.
A straight line exploded, and explosions came one after another. The huge mines erupted, and the Mongolians within a few hundred meters were killed and injured. However, the most deaths were still horses. Many of the Mongolians on them were only injured, but this was basically no different from the deaths.
The Mongols without the surname Mobile will eventually die under muskets.
The lethality of landmines can only be said to be careless, but the gunpowder used is different, but the momentum is extremely huge. People who are close to each other will even be deaf in their ears.
This sudden explosion completely blew the Mongols.
The horses behind were also frightened by the fire and loud noises in front of them, and were out of control.
When the Mongols touched a mine, they consumed one-third of the landmines of the entire division. Although the mines were carried a lot, they were easily recycled, so they were usually buried at night when they were easily attacked.
At this time, bursts of fire lights came from the military camp. With loud bangs, fireballs were either shot out in arcs or in parallel... Their power was so huge that it seemed as if there were stars and moons in the sky... The artillery was showing its might again!
