Chapter 1445 A full blow

Although the troop strength put into the battlefield by the two sides differed several times, Qian Tiandun, as the commander, would not be flustered by this. Battles with a much greater disparity in troop strength were not unheard of before. Since Haihan formed the army,

They followed the line of elite soldiers, and all strategies and tactics were formulated around the idea of ​​defeating more with less. It was normal for the troops to be inferior to the enemy on the battlefield, and both officers and ordinary soldiers had long been accustomed to this.

However, the situation of the battle between the Jin Army and the Marine Corps that landed behind the defense line after yesterday has been transmitted to Qian Tiandun via the radio. Several senior generals have seen Wang Tom's battle briefing and have a general understanding of the garrison of the fortress.

Here are some of the commanding styles of Jin General Yangguli behind the defense line. The fact that he still used the all-out tactics in this level of battlefield confrontation also shows his decisiveness and ruthless mentality of leaving no room for both the enemy and ourselves.

Although the Marine Corps and the Special Operations Battalion have similar weapons and equipment, their tactical styles are completely different, and their combat experience is even different. In addition, the Special Operations Battalion has more abundant troops. Later, the Jin Army wanted to use the brutal attack against the Marines.

Use tactics to attack the position guarded by the special operations battalion, even if it means hitting the iron plate.

After seeing that the opponent's cavalry began to speed up, Chen Yixin decisively gave the order to fire. Although the distance between the two armies was still far, the damage that can be caused by firing at this time was limited, but since the opponent had already shown the attitude of fighting to the death, the Haihan Army

You don't have to worry about scaring these guys away with just a few shots.

Of course, the most important point is that because these four new artillery pieces were transported all the way from the south, their intensity of use on the battlefield has obviously not reached the military's expectations. How long will it take if they are not used to bombard the enemy at this time?

These cannons were fast-loading and powerful, and were deployed in the east and west directions of the position. They were used to deal with the Houjin cavalry who were trying to encircle them at this time.

As the cannon sounded, a bloody passage appeared in Houjin's cavalry. Everything in the path of the cannonball was torn to pieces in an instant, and the people near it didn't even have time.

Make any response to it. Whether it is armor or shield, any individual defense method is useless in the face of this absolute power, and the result is that the body they protect is turned into pieces.

Although the damage of a single shell from such a shooting is limited, the impact it causes is no joke. When living people and war horses suddenly burst into plasma and minced meat in front of their eyes, even the most battle-hardened warriors can

It was impossible to maintain a calm mood. Some cavalrymen were so frightened that they fell off their horses when they saw such a scene.

However, the overall advancement speed of the Hou Jin Army was not slowed down by the shelling. These experienced cavalrymen knew that only by shortening the combat distance as soon as possible could they save their lives to the greatest extent. Moreover, even if they wanted to escape from the battle, the supervising team following them could

This is no joke. Before the war, Yang Guli issued a death order. Anyone who dared not move forward in fear of fighting or even turned around and fled back would be killed by the supervising team without mercy.

No matter how fierce Haihan's artillery fire was, such thousands of people could not be destroyed by just a few shots. Although they didn't know whether the artillery shells would hit them in the next second, all the cavalrymen still pushed their horses forward with all their strength.

I hope to rush close as soon as possible and destroy these damn artillery pieces.

But when they got closer and closer to the Haihan position, they found that the artillery fire on the position became more intense. Several artillery that had not fired before finally roared, and all the guns fired from these barrels were

It is a grape bullet with a limited range but a larger killing area. One shot can mow down a whole area.

At this time, the soldiers' rifles finally came into use. After the Houjin Cavalry entered their effective shooting range, the intensive firepower was as lethal as the grapeshot fired by the artillery. It rushed to 100 meters.

The Houjin cavalry in the distance quickly turned into corpses on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blood from the injured men and horses quickly dyed a large area of ​​the ground red, making it muddy.

At this time, there was no such thing as saving ammunition in the Haihan Army. Both the artillery and the infantry were firing the weapons they controlled at the fastest speed. However, the Houjin cavalry rushing over from outside the position were so densely packed that they hardly used them.

Aim too much and you'll hit an unlucky target at random.

The sniper team that set up its position on the city wall took advantage of the chaos and took its time to target the grassroots officers responsible for commanding the operations in the Hou Jin Army formation, killing them one by one. Although the killing speed could not be compared to

colleagues below, but the effect is obvious. Every time an officer is killed, it can cause a certain degree of chaos in the local area, making it difficult for Hou Jin's cavalry charge to maintain an orderly rhythm. And after this chaos gradually accumulated,

The impact on the Jin army's offensive was very obvious on the battlefield.

Yangguli, who was observing the battlefield situation from behind, soon noticed that during the charge of the cavalry, the formation gradually became chaotic. He did not understand what was going on. Logically speaking, these cavalry men charged and fought like eating.

He walked normally and would never make a mistake in such a simple operation. But in this environment, he could not give any instructions to the charging cavalry in time and could only let it adjust on its own.

Perhaps it was because of this chaos that exceeded Yangguli's expectation that the charging Houjin Cavalry could not approach the Haihan position as quickly as yesterday. It became a life-and-death line about fifty meters away from the defense line, and they managed to get through by luck.

Almost all the cavalrymen at this distance were shot immediately and fell off their horses. The cavalrymen did not even touch the edge of the barbed wire fence outside the position, and they fell into the sand on this blockade. It was like

It is like a bottomless black hole. Although there are always brave cavalry who are not afraid of death, they continue to rush in, but apart from being devoured by it, there is no sign that the black hole can be filled.

Morgan loaded the gun at an extremely stable speed, took aim, and fired. Every time he hit a target, he would report the number, and the guards around him would record the results. His position on the city wall was within the shooting range of Houjin's hunting bow.

In addition, there is no need to worry about personal safety issues at all, and he can concentrate all his energy on shooting the target. He has not experienced such a refreshing shooting on the battlefield for a long time. The last time he led a sniper team to perform a reconnaissance mission near here.

At that time, his condition was still far from the level where he is now almost flawless.

Although this battle has just started, Morgan has already had a hunch in his heart that he will refresh his record for the number of enemies killed in this battle, and the time when this record was set dates back to the Annan Civil War many years ago. At that time, the CheyTac M200 sniper rifle used in the battle in Annan was still semi-storage. The accuracy and lethality were naturally far better than the relatively primitive rifle in his hand now, but he could feel his current state. It was particularly outstanding, and he had even vaguely found a shooting rhythm that was very labor-saving and worry-free. Such a feeling was also rare in his past military career.

When the first wave of two thousand-man cavalry was almost exhausted, a few cavalry finally broke through the death line and rushed towards the Haihan position. Unfortunately, in addition to the terrifying guns and cannons, what blocked them in front was There are formidable fortifications on the ground.

Most of the time on the battlefield, Haihan used less to hit more, and the cavalry establishment was better than nothing, so he put more effort into position defense, such as deer villages, horse-rejection, barbed wire, trenches, horse traps, horse tripping ropes, and even Destructive weapons such as landmines are deployed to varying degrees outside this position. Although the completion of these fortifications is not ideal due to the rush of time, as long as they can stop the charging Houjin Cavalry for a few seconds, The infantrymen freed up on the defense line will naturally focus their fire on the targets that have already reached close range.

From the outside of the battlefield, it seems that thousands of people from the Hou Jin Dynasty have surrounded this small position. It is only a matter of time before they conquer this place. But if you look more carefully, you will find that the encirclement outside the Haihan position is actually far away. There is still some distance to the edge of the position. Although it is only a few meters away, it is as difficult as a natural chasm for the attackers to cross. In the process of approaching the Haihan position, Hou Jin had already reached the enemy in a very short period of time. It cost thousands of casualties.

However, at this time, both sides were already red-blooded. Haihan, who occupied the favorable terrain and took the initiative on the battlefield, would naturally not retreat. As long as there was sufficient ammunition, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops were surrounded outside, they would not be intimidated. Although Hou Jin had a way out, , but they were already in a situation of no retreat, and they were determined to fight Haihan to the death. Although they suffered heavy losses, they still had to keep fighting. After all, if they retreated at this time, so many people in front of them would die in vain. dead.

The cowhide drums in the Houjin army were still beating continuously, encouraging the soldiers to launch a desperate charge towards the Haihan position. The infantry of the Houjin army, following the cavalry, finally entered the area where they could launch an attack, and the archers drew their bows and set arrows. , firing arrows from the back of the cavalry at the Haihan position.

And Haihan was not without precautions against such offensive methods. In fact, during the battle, engineers and civilians were still building wooden roofs in the position to prevent arrows from falling from the sky. These roofs are all prefabricated. As long as the support poles are set up on the ground, it is very convenient to set up. However, the time Haihan used to build the position after conquering this place was too short, so this special fortification was not completed when Hou Jin counterattacked.

Because of this, Hou Jin's offensive immediately had an effect. Even several people in Haihan's position were shot by these cold arrows. Haihan had no better way to deal with this, so he could only step up his defense while building up defenses.

The speed of the fortifications allowed the medical soldiers to quickly treat the wounded and carry them out on stretchers. Qian Tiandun also dispatched troops from the rear, allowing the reserve troops south of the position to quickly enter the position to replace the vacancies left by the wounded soldiers.

Since the Houjin archers were temporarily hiding behind the cavalry troops, it was difficult for Haihan's attack methods to directly hurt them, so they could only withstand this wave of offensive. However, for the Houjin archers who had gathered in large numbers in front of Haihan's position,

In addition to artillery fire, Jin's troops also used another weapon that could cause large-scale destruction - grenades.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of this weapon, the military also specially trained a group of grenadiers, which was probably about half a century earlier than Western colleagues listed grenadiers as an official branch of the military. Although this kind of station

The tactic of throwing grenades in a row looks a bit funny, but it is undoubtedly an excellent supplement to artillery with limited firing frequency in close combat. The effect of grenades thrown in a row exploding simultaneously among densely packed enemy troops is not

It is inferior to the grape bullets fired by artillery. Moreover, the targets injured by grenades often do not die immediately, and the companions who fall to the ground and scream can also effectively weaken their overall combat effectiveness.

As the whistle sounded, more than 20 grenades flew out of the air and smashed into the ranks of the Jin Army. Later Jin did not have a clear understanding of these iron lumps flying from the sky, but just regarded them as something.

It was just a cold-weapon attack method. However, after just a moment, explosions rang out one after another in the crowd, and screams suddenly began. Several horses lost control after being injured by the explosion, turned around, and trampled towards the infantry team behind them.

It caused quite a bit of confusion.

This time, Haihan Ordnance Industry prepared 1,200 grenades for the Liaodong Army, most of which were deployed by Qian Tiandun on this position. However, the current situation does not allow for any ideas of economy. Naturally,

Any powerful weapons must be used quickly. If you kill one more enemy, maybe one less person will be injured on your side. So in the next period of time, grenades were thrown into the rear Jin army as if they were free, and exploded.

The sound kept ringing in the crowd. Those soldiers who knew what was going on were okay. The trouble was that the horses would subconsciously run and jump once they were injured, and it was difficult for the riders on their backs to control them.

It will immediately create chaos around it.

As the battle continued, Yangu Li's heart grew colder little by little. He found that the Haihan position was not as easy to deal with as the beachhead he attacked yesterday. The opponent was controlling it from beginning to end.

Controlling the rhythm of the battle, and constantly consuming their own troops with weapons of great destructive power. However, all the Hou Jin army can do after attacking the formation is to use bows and arrows to shoot aimlessly at the Haihan position.

That's it, it seems that it has not been able to effectively reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness. If we continue to fight at this pace, I am afraid that before all the people in the opponent's position are shot to death, all the troops on our side will be shot.

Under artillery fire.
