Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 229
The Qing army finally managed to hit a sore spot in the Ming army's tactics, but in terms of capabilities, the Qing army was still a classical army. They did not have the various teaching materials and textbooks used in the training bases of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army and the Army Academy. Everything is basically an exploratory use of thermal weapons and firepower configuration.

The bombardment of more than a dozen Frang machine guns on different hills, coupled with the poor accuracy, actually caused very little casualties to the Ming army, but the Ming army did not like this kind of gun that could be hit by the enemy. Embarrassment.

So the 102nd regiment chose to charge, attacked the top of the Qing army's hills, and pulled out the Qing army's artillery.

Although the Qing army deployed on the high ground inside Wusheng Pass is still a classical army at heart, after fighting against the Daming Fuguo Army for so long, the Qing Army has also begun to absorb and absorb what they can learn from the Daming Fuguo Army. everything of.They don't know what line infantry is, what is different is skirmish line tactics, and they don't know fire cover and fire fortifications, but they will learn from the Ming army and follow the gourd.

The defense line of the highlands is largely based on some practices of the Illumination Army. For example, the Qing Army dug out caves for hiding soldiers. Lie behind the fortifications and let the soldiers shoot down with bird guns.

The Qing army has gradually formed a new set of adaptive tactics. They use bunkers to shoot in multiple segments. Because the reloading speed of bird guns is obviously much slower than that of M1 rifles, so after a row of soldiers lying behind the bunkers shoot, they lie down. Come down to charge the powder, and give up the shooting position to the second row of bird gunners behind.

This basically played to the limit of the Qing army's existing firearms. If it weren't for the fact that the Fran cannon was still difficult to control, the Qing army would also turn the muzzle and fire at the Ming army at this time.

However, there is still a fatal problem with this tactic, that is, the equipment gap is still too large.

The musket basically shoots a hundred steps, and its accuracy is unreliable.But the range of the M1 rifle is several times that of the blunderbuss, and the same is true for the M2 heavy machine gun.Although the Ming army rushed up from the foot of the mountain, which was disadvantageous in terms of terrain, the training level of the Ming army was really not comparable to that of the Qing army.

The machine gunners quickly selected a suitable location to set up their machine guns and opened fire on the Qing army.On the charge route of the Ming army, several heavy machine guns formed a very beautiful crossfire at different positions, which directly and effectively suppressed the Qing army.

"The thieves are coming up soon, hit me, hit me!" The guerrillas guarding the position clamored, but his soldiers could no longer raise their heads.

"My lord, the blunderbuss of the bandit army are too powerful. If you show your heads a little, you will be shot to death!"

The Qing guerrillas saw that many Qing soldiers had fallen on the other side of the fortifications. Earth and rock debris were splashing, and the bullets were so heavy that the Qing soldiers could only huddle under the bunkers and be unable to move.

"Forget it, when the thieves rushed over, they would fight with big blades! It's time for you gentlemen to serve the court."

The guerrilla general threatened again: "I fought them all, the bandit army was fierce and stubborn, and the brothers from the green camp in Jiangning and Hangzhou were all slaughtered by them. The villain, the fatherless villain, has fallen into their hands, and they will put you in the frying pan!"

Many soldiers were trembling with fright, but their hands holding the blunderbuss, knives and guns became tighter.

This set of false rumors began to circulate among the Qing army recently.Because the Huguang Qing army had never been in contact with the Ming army, many things were unclear.Hong Chengchou, an old dog, simply began to smear the Ming army, calling deer a horse and saying that Ming Xiu slaughtered the Tatars indiscriminately, and that the Ming army was cruel and would abuse prisoners.This frightened these Qing soldiers could only blindly fight against the Ming army under the leadership of their officers.

But this set is also effective, at least after the Huguang Qing army was brought out by Murima, there were no large-scale surrenders to Nanming like the Jiangnan Qing army.

Finally, the soldiers of the 102nd Regiment of the Ming Fuguo Army rushed to the high ground and crossed the Qing army's bunker fortifications.Soldiers from the Green Battalion of the Qing Army also roared and rushed towards them with various weapons, and a hand-to-hand combat that was not common among Ming Army infantry began.

Peng Lu, a young soldier in Guli, who was born in Australia, has been promoted to corporal. He has been with the army for a long time for more than a year.From Hainan to Guangzhou, then to Taiwan, and after being reorganized, he came to the East China Military Region. This boy from Guli was already a soldier with rich experience in war.

He and his little friend Huo Yuanxia didn't panic when they saw the Qing army coming head-on. The adrenaline secreted in their bodies made them very fast, but their long-term military training and rationality told them that the more they were at this time, the less reckless they would be. .

The Qing army who was crushed and beaten didn't even load all the bird guns at this time. When the soldiers of the Ming army rushed up, only a few soldiers of the Qing army fired.However, the soldiers of the Ming army were very straightforward. When they saw the person coming up, they directly pointed their guns at the opponent and shot him.

Peng Lu fired a shot and hit a Qing soldier in the stomach. He strode up and directly inserted the bayonet into the enemy's chest.Two more enemies rushed up beside him. Peng Lu drew out his rifle and set it up, blocking the sharp blades of the two Qing soldiers.Huo Yuanxia and other comrades in the back protected Peng Lu left and right. Some comrades shot and killed the enemy, while others directly assassinated the enemy.

Huo Yuanxia quickly reloaded his second bullet and fired again.This is also the usual method used by soldiers of the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat is not simply fighting bravely.Hand-to-hand combat requires the basic cooperation of the soldiers. The soldiers of the Ming army are at least in groups of three, and they take care of each other. Those who are assassinated will be protected by someone. Everyone takes turns to ensure the safety of their comrades.As soon as he has time, someone will load the bullet, and other team members will protect him to complete the loading action.

"Kill!" This cry came from the current head of the 102nd regiment. Even the head of the regiment rushed so far, how could the other soldiers have reason to be even a step slower?
An unobvious advantage, the strength of the soldiers of the 102nd regiment is also obviously greater than that of the Qing army.This is because the Ming army has better nutrition and protection, which makes the Ming army soldiers easily overwhelm the Qing army in the same action contest. Coupled with better cooperation, the Qing army only fought for less than 10 minutes, from the top of the mountain. retreated.

"Brothers, kill me, kill me!" The guerrilla general's eyes turned red, he thought that the Ming army who had come close and could not rely on the strength of firearms should be easy to deal with.But a mature and tough army is hard to defeat no matter what kind of battle it is in.

　Fourth more!
