1890 King of Southeast Asia

On the morning of the 19th, the Japanese army concentrated 36 mountain and field artillery for fire preparation.

The 1st Light Infantry Division was originally short of heavy weapons, and because the area that needed to be filled at the temporary dock exceeded expectations, all of them were on the ship, so they could only allow the Japanese army to bombard.

During the fire preparation, the Eighth Division Flag Regiment began to assemble for battle and encourage before the war.

"The Flag Fleet has a glorious tradition. Our ancestors have won countless honors in the war against Qingdao and the war against Russia, and even received the Emperor's honor."

"Today, it is our time to inherit this glory!"

"The enemy is right across, less than two kilometers away from us. What you have to do is to continue the tradition of the Flag Regiment and crush the enemy!"

"Crush the enemy!"

"Crush them!"

"..."

The commander of the Flag Regiment looked at the soldiers lined up in the attack formation and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the fire preparation was also over. The Japanese were very stingy. Not only did they refuse to use the artillery in a concentrated manner, but they also couldn't fire a few shells.

After only fifteen minutes of intermittent fire preparation, the signal for the infantry attack was issued.

"For honor, for His Majesty the Emperor, charge!" The captain of the Qiwei Regiment raised his command knife and pointed at the direction of the First Light Infantry Division in a very Japanese style and shouted wildly.

"It's a black card, half a year!" The captain of the Qiwei Regiment also drew his knife, shouted loudly, and then rushed forward.

"Half a year!"

"Half a year!"

"..."

Although they shouted half a year, the soldiers of the Eighth Division did not launch a charge. After all, they were still far away. The half-year charge started at about 200 meters.

If they started charging too far away, they would have no strength to rush to the enemy's position. How could they carry out the "battle between warriors"?

The soldiers of the Qiwei Regiment swarmed out, and after leaving the assembly point, they were divided into dozens of streams and slowly rushed to the position of the First Light Infantry Division.

When the distance was still four or five hundred meters, the Japanese army began to shoot. The Japanese were not as rubbish as they were in movies and TV dramas, nor as evil as the Japanese-loving people said. They were just using a very popular design method at that time - volley shooting.

Unlike the line shooting, the tactical concept of volley shooting is fire suppression.

That is - using a squad or even a company-level unit as the basic unit to fire at the same target in a unified manner.

At this distance, there are indeed some Japanese veterans who can perform precise shooting, but the accuracy is far from 100% accurate, and there are not many such people.

"Attack! Attack! For His Majesty the Emperor!" The squadron leader who was advancing with a pistol stopped and raised his command knife and shouted loudly.

The momentum is very strong, but it is still funny to stop at this distance.

The soldiers passed the squadron leader without surprise. After all, the squadron leader at least came to the front line, and the captain was still commanding 800 meters away!

As for the flag commander? He was still observing the situation with the artillery telescope at the starting position.

At 300 meters, the Japanese army began to slow down. At this distance, the veterans who had completed the training began to shoot, and the speed slowed down all of a sudden.

At this distance, the Japanese army's shooting accuracy can be guaranteed, and they can basically hit the human body, and a few people can hit the head.

Therefore, the Japanese army generally chooses to suppress the enemy with guns at this distance, causing greater casualties to the enemy, and then launch a charge, and the bayonet decides the outcome.

Gou Pa...

The unique gunshots of the 30-year style continued to sound. In contrast, there were only sporadic gunshots in the direction of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Light Infantry Division.

However, if you observe carefully, you can find that every two gunshots in the direction of the 1st Regiment's position, a Japanese soldier will fall.

"Haha! That's it, let these pigs see the strength of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, so that they dare not resist!"

"It seems that the Beiyang Army has fallen. A few years ago, it could resist the army of the Great Japanese Empire, but now it can't even beat this kind of army!"

The captain of the Qi Wei Fleet bent over, raised his hips, and lay on the gun mirror, laughing and saying.

Why is it so excited?

…

The defense line of the first regiment of the first light infantry division.

"Ouch~" In the tunnel, Yang Tianju held his left hand that was injured by the shock and couldn't help shouting in pain.

"How is it? Where is it injured?" The battlefield medical soldier who was treating the wounded in the artillery hole not far away hurried over and asked.

"It's okay, a bullet hit the wood, the force was too strong, and it was accidentally shaken." Yang Tianju said.

"Let me see." Hearing this, the medical soldier gestured to Yang Tianju to open his right hand that was holding his left hand.

After a simple examination, the medical soldier nodded.

"It's okay, it's mainly a shock injury, and there are some skin injuries on the hand. For safety, apply some ointment, and don't use too much force on the left hand for the time being."

"Okay, after this battle, I'll go to the infirmary." Yang Tianju moved his wrist and tried it. It didn't hurt much, but he felt that his left hand was light and couldn't use too much force for the time being.

"Damn little Japanese, the gun is quite accurate." Yang Tianju cursed and picked up the thrown wood with his right hand.

The thing he was talking about was a cross made of two pieces of wood, covered with a hat and a green suit.

This was a prop used to confuse the Japanese, and was "hidden" in the tunnel, with only a part of it exposed.

There were hundreds of similar props on the entire battlefield, and just now a prop was knocked down, and he went to pick it up.

Just after he lifted it up and put it down, a bullet hit the wood, and part of the huge kinetic energy was transferred to his hand, which injured his arm.

(This is why the captain of the Qiwei League was happy. He vaguely saw the "enemy" being hit by his soldiers one by one.)

"Squad leader! The Japanese are approaching the range of 200 meters!" A soldier hurried over.

"Go, go back!" Yang Tianju said immediately after hearing this.

After a few steps, Yang Tianju arrived at their defense line, a trench, and a bare old tree next to it.

When he returned to the position, the Japanese were already preparing to charge.

"Prepare the machine gun, wait for the order and fire according to the plan!" Yang Tianju said to the deputy shooter.

He was the squad leader and the main shooter of the machine gun, but with one hand injured, he could not play the machine gun, so he could only let the deputy shooter, and he would command.

Tong Tong Tong Tong...

A crisp and tiny sound sounded not far from him.

"Sight 250, rate of fire set to 300, burst fire, adjust the distance to ensure the hit rate." Yang Tianju hurriedly said.

boom... boom...

Dense explosions came, this is the sound of rifle grenades exploding. This thing is not very advanced. All countries have it, but they don't pay much attention to it.

Because the distance is not far, the accuracy is not high, it is dangerous to use, and the price is not cheap.

Nanhua did not put too much energy in this direction, because Nanhua's rocket launcher can make up for the gap in medium and short-range firepower, and all data crush rifle grenades.

This time, the firepower was insufficient due to the poor supply far away from Nanhua, and the first regiment concentrated the rifle grenades for use, and the effect was not bad.

Although more than a hundred rifle grenades only caused dozens of casualties, they successfully disrupted the Japanese formation, and the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to charge slowed down all of a sudden.

"Fire! Change positions in two minutes!" Yang Tianju shouted, and lifted the camouflage of the machine gun.

"Two o'clock direction!" Unable to shoot personally, Yang Tianju acted as an observer and commander.

"At 11 o'clock, kill those people... Damn! Who stole my target?"

Dozens of machine guns fired at the same time on the entire front line. Although they were not involved at full speed, it was enough to form a metal barrage.

Many Japanese soldiers were hit by bullets flying from nowhere before they could react and fell to the ground.

On the battlefield, the wounded who can be rescued are the luckiest, the second luckiest are those who die directly, and the remaining soldiers who are injured and waiting to die on the battlefield or in the hospital, or even those who are left with lifelong disabilities, are the most unfortunate.

"Lie down!" A cloud of dust rose in front of Yang Tianju, only a few dozen centimeters away from him.

"At 1:30, fire suppression!" Yang Tianju judged the direction of the bullet based on his experience.

Dongdong, dongdongdongdong, dongdongdong...

The deputy gunner was operating the water-cooled Maxim to quickly fire at the crowd. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned the muzzle and fired at an angle of about 20 degrees.

If the Japanese did not use artillery, the machine gunners would be very safe, because the water-cooled Maxim machine guns were equipped with a machine gun shield. The shield was not thin and was placed at an angle, so it could resist ordinary bullets.

Dongdongdongdong...

"Squad leader! The Japanese began to retreat!" said the ammunition man.

"The sight remains unchanged, the rate of fire is adjusted to 600, and the firepower is covered!" said Yang Tianju.

The First Regiment placed a battalion of infantry on the front line and transferred machine guns from other battalions. Although the bullets could not be said to be like pouring water, they were also very dense.

And this time it was not operated by the mixed army of Beiyang, but by machine gunners who had been trained for a long time.

Although the speed of burst shooting was not fast, the recoil of burst shooting would not continue to cause the muzzle to jump a lot. On the contrary, because the shooting accuracy was guaranteed, the killing efficiency was even higher.

In particular, the shooter and the observer worked closely together to ensure the distribution of firepower, and it was not easy to shoot blindly.

However, when the enemy retreated, there was no need to care so much.

Boom boom boom...

The ammunition belts were used up one by one. In just a few minutes, the water cooling system of the Maxim heavy machine gun was completely boiling, and the steam was discharged through the gas pipe.

"Okay, stop!" Yang Tianju said.

In a short time, the Japanese army had run six or seven hundred meters away. Although they could still fire, the accuracy dropped quickly, and they could only fire covering fire.

The first regiment did not have sufficient supplies, so it was a loss to fight like this.

"Next, leave it to the mortar."
