Chapter 22: The fierce battle is fierce (1)
The enemy came so fast. Soon, the three companies arrived less than 200 meters away from Beiguan. Looking at the enemy who was so close, the hearts of the officers and soldiers were hanging. The sounds of "preparing for battle" came one after another. Some soldiers could not control their excitement and fired before the Rouran army entered the range.
At that moment, the Rouran Army suddenly changed from two horizontal lines to two columns, and then changed from two columns to four columns. Although its movements were not as smooth as flowing, it was also quite skillful.
The Rourans spread out three company columns, and their front was exactly the three infantry companies of the Dingbian Army.
Column assault! Column assault! This is the most commonly used tactic in a northern neighboring country, and Liu Jingxiao is getting more and more troublesome!
Almost at the same time as the conversion was completed, a rapid driving drum sounded from the Rouran army, and the entire column rushed toward this side at full speed.
Almost as it entered the range of the bullets, the artillery company's artillery suddenly roared, and the entire artillery jumped violently backwards and flew more than two meters away. The artillery quickly ran backwards, preparing to push the artillery back to its original position to clean the cannon chamber so as to facilitate the shooting again. The entire position was filled with black smoke scattered by the artillery firing.
The shotgun caused considerable casualties in the formation of the enemy. After a ball of black smoke, the first two rows of Rouran's army almost disappeared. Then, "Bang! Bang! Bang!", the soldiers of the first battalion aimed roughly, and accompanied by the commander's order, the rain of bullets poured towards the formation of Rouran, and then desperately loaded bullets into the gun chamber.
The Rouran did not counterattack, but rushed forward desperately. This casualty was still subject to a company column.
The biggest advantage of the column assault is its high-speed and violent impact. Generally speaking, from launching the assault to rushing to the enemy, the defenders only have time to fire two bullets. However, Liu Jingxiao arranged quite a few obstacles in front of the position to block the advance speed of the Rouran Army. However, after the Dingbian Army fired the third bullet, the Rouran people finally rushed to the front of the position.
However, at this time, about one-third of the troops were injured and one-third of the troops were killed or killed. The company commander of the third company Zhu Ying roared suddenly and was the first to jump out of the trench. Several officers also jumped out, and the two sides immediately strangled each other.
Seeing Zhu Ying rushed in the front, a reinforced platoon of soldiers he led also came out with a bayonet, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Rouran army rushed to fire the only bullet in the gun chamber. The close-range shooting caused considerable casualties to the border army, but some people went directly into hand-to-hand combat without even firing the bullets.
The two sides immediately killed the heads and rolled, and the plasma burst into four out. They stabbed each other with bayonets and hit them with butts. From time to time, the bayonets stabbed into the body and brought back bright red blood, splashing the clothes all over the blood. From time to time, the screams of soldiers mixed with the unique sound of bayonets stabbed into the body, and blood and flesh could be seen everywhere.
At this time, the artillery of the Rouran Army fired again, and their target was the artillery position of the Dingbian Army. Without observation, the black smoke spreading over the artillery position was the best reference.
This artillery fire achieved certain results. Although the Dingbian Army only injured two artillery soldiers and the artillery was safe, the artillery could not be fired smoothly due to the interference of vision.
Seeing this, Liu Jingxiao was surprised and said, "Strange? Not to mention that Rouran people are just random shots?"
Wanyan Yuzhuo answered this question for the sake of the gunners: "The gunners who are fighting the gun are all the people of the Fierce Feng!"
After having a quarrel with Wanyan Yuzhuo last night, Liu Jingxiao never wanted Wanyan Yuzhuo to go to the battlefield. What if she saw Rouran being beaten by the Dingbian Army and quarreled with him? And he was also worried about Wanyan Yuzhuo's safety.
But Wanyan Yuzhuo didn't know what was wrong and had to insist on going to the battlefield. Liu Jingxiao couldn't fight him, so she had to let her wear a dress and go to the first battalion to command with him. Of course, the officers and soldiers' fingers were inevitable.
However, Liu Jingxiao finally got a reward. After hearing Wanyan Yuzhuo's words, he couldn't help but exclaim "ah".
Wanyan Yuzhuo continued: "Half of these cannons were given by Liefeng people, and the other half was given by Tiel people. However, each cannon has two Liefeng officers responsible for the operation of the cannon. Babuzabu selected ten strong soldiers as gunners!"
Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but feel proud. With a wife who knew the rebels, she would have much more chance of winning, but without these Fiery Feng and Tieler cannons, she would have more confidence to defend herself.
However, when he thought of Tiele and Liefeng, Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but feel suddenly sank. Liefeng has been preparing for war since Silla and is ready to invade the Republic at the east at any time. Since Tiele emerged as a wise and powerful emperor twenty years ago, his country's power has been booming and has clashed with the Republic many times. I heard that the East Siberian Governor of the Tiele people is even the first-class person in the world. Seeing that Rouran people are so fierce and able to fight, I hope not to meet Tiele's troops.
At this time, the hand-to-hand combat on the front line came to an end. At this time, the remaining two platoons of the third company rushed out from the flank of the Rouran Army. The vanguard company of the Rouran Army finally could not resist the enemy and retreated. There were only dozens of corpses left on the ground, and some seriously wounded members of the Rouran Army were moaning while slowly crawling back.
Zhu Ying took a breath, took the military flag and waved it with all his strength. The third company immediately boosted its morale and waved its military caps and cheered loudly. The other two platoons returned to their positions and prepared for the next counterattack.
However, Zhu Ying's eyes fell on the position of Li Jianshuang of the First Company, where there was still smoke and the sound of killing was shocking. Fortunately, not long after, the Rouran army there finally retreated, and the situation in the Second Company seemed to be better than those of his two companies.
However, the third company did not have much rest time. After just repelling the first wave of charge, a figure of Rouran appeared in the smoke that gradually dissipated. Zhu Ying casually said to Zhang Sen, the leader of the rank, "Are you confident?"
The first row leader Zhang Sen answered simply: "Everyone has confidence in success or success."
At this time, the artillery of the Rouran Army also moved back to bombard the position. Many private houses were knocked down and collapsed due to the disaster of the city fish, and a raging fire was ignited. The Dingbian Army, who were guarding the position, could only lie down and fall on the position. However, the Dingbian Army's three two-pound cannons also took the opportunity to fire again, interfering with the Dingbian Army's attack to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of artillery bombardment, the Rouran Army rushed over quickly. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Third Company were blocked by the flames and dust caused by the shells, and they could not shoot effectively. However, the attack method of these Rouran Army was not different from the previous time. When they reached a distance of more than 30 meters from the frontier position, some soldiers and the Dingbian Army launched a confrontation, while the rest of the soldiers threw a large number of grenades at the Dingbian Army. After the continuous explosion sounds, the entire frontier position suddenly turned black smoke.
Liu Jingxiao was anxious from behind, and suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Grenade! Where are the grenades going!"
