Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 579
The neighing sound of the rhythmic horses resounded across the battlefield, and the dense sound of horseshoes shook the ground.A large number of Mughal cavalry either armed with sabers or lances, galloped on the plain. Their enemy was the Ming and Bengal troops in the middle of the two forests opposite.

The Ming army marched so far and encountered the Mughal cavalry. They did not have time to arrange such a complicated position in the future. Instead, they temporarily searched for bunkers and deployed artillery to meet the Mughal army.

Even though there was a very large number of Mughal troops on the opposite side, Ming's Bengali soldiers did not show any timidity. This is what a real soldier looks like after undergoing rigorous training and various tests.

"Artillery, Artillery, get ready!"

"Machine gun company, machine gun company!"

This terrain limited the performance of the cavalry, which naturally protected the two wings of the Ming army, so that the cavalry could only attack through the front. Obviously, in the era of thermal weapons, it is not a wise choice to charge the infantry with powerful firepower from the front.

The Mughal cavalry began to charge, and the artillery of the Fan army was the first to attack.The weapons used by this vassal army are relatively old. They are the second-generation 60mm infantry artillery of the Ming Army. In fact, the local side has basically eliminated these infantry that weigh nearly 82 kilograms and have a range of only 57 to 82 kilometers. Instead of supporting artillery, it was equipped with a large number of 120mm mortars, 75mm mortars, 20/3 recoilless guns and [-]mm individual rocket launchers.There have been three generations of [-]mm infantry guns eliminated by the local army. Many of the first-generation old guns that participated in the Restoration War more than [-] years ago can still be fired if they are properly maintained. The Ming army produced a total of more than [-] guns. The [-]mm infantry gun is now equipped with a large number of vassal troops.

These artillery pieces with a small caliber and a short range are still very deterrent weapons on the battlefield. The shells hit the Mughal cavalry, causing a piece of cavalry to be torn to pieces by the shells.Sixteen infantry support guns fired a salvo, and the effect was extremely terrifying.

The most frightening thing is the machine gunners lying on the ground and operating squad machine guns and heavy machine guns. Before the war, the military had already strengthened the firepower of the Bangladesh Army. Squads use machine guns, and the number of machine gun squads has also been increased.

Thousands of Mughal cavalry rushed hundreds of meters under the bombardment and machine gun strikes of the Bengal army, and finally collapsed when they were on the verge of their position.It's like there is an invisible wall in front of the Bengal army. After rushing up, it will immediately fall to death, and there is no way to advance.

The officer leading the troops is also very excited. Almost half of his troops are newly recruited soldiers. They have only undergone four months of training, and they are still relatively young. They can fight well after experiencing battles, which will make them quickly grow up.

At this time, the scouts came to report: "We found that the artillery of the Mughal Army started to build artillery positions in the southwest direction, and the target should be your troops."

So far in the war, the Mughal artillery has not had much chance to perform.It's nothing more than the fact that the Ming army used fast interspersed tactics. The infantry attacked at night, or by surprise, the artillery was not prepared, and was wiped out by the artillery of the Ming army.Moreover, the range of the Mughal artillery is relatively short, and it is a mixed bag. There are not only advanced models made in Europe, but also their very old-fashioned artillery.

The officer of the Ming army picked up the binoculars to observe, and scolded: "Didn't our cover troops follow? Shouldn't they occupy the southwest highlands to cover us? This is good, the Mughal army has gone up, and we exposed to the enemy's attack."

However, this situation often happens on the battlefield.There are many factors that will affect the prior arrangement, and the troops themselves will make various mistakes.For example, the cover force of this Bangladesh infantry regiment, another infantry regiment encountered the Mughal army by the river four hours ago, so it detoured back to attack the enemy army, and successfully defeated the enemy army several times its own , It can be regarded as a very good victory.But with such a delay, this infantry regiment delayed its cover mission and failed to reach the preset position.After the covered infantry regiment successfully defeated the enemy, it was exposed to the enemy's firepower.

Although the situation was not good, the officer was experienced and did not panic: "The artillery battalion changed positions and opened fire on the enemy. The 2nd Battalion followed me and took out the Mughal artillery from the side."

After all, the training level of the Ming army was high. Their artillery battalion changed positions and pointed the muzzles at the enemy in the southwest. The overall speed was faster than the Mughal artillery over there setting up artillery positions.So the artillery here fired first, and the shells fell directly on the high ground over there.

Although the Mughal artillery was based on the reverse slope and the attack effect was not good, it still had a certain suppression effect.The Mughal artillery shelled immediately, and the shells spread greatly, and did not effectively kill the Ming army artillery battalion.

At a distance of several kilometers, the infantry battalion of the Bangladesh Fan Army arrived quickly.On the contrary, the Mughal army did learn a bit of the meaning of modern warfare, and also deployed infantry to attack the infantry of the Bangladeshi army condescendingly.

The battalion commander, who was in charge of attacking the enemy artillery, felt some pressure.They fight from the bottom up. Although they have a certain firepower advantage, it is impossible to do it without risking some sacrifices.

The leader of the regiment also said: "Fight me up! We can't delay things. We must clear away the obstacles to the advancement of our army."

"Be careful of the Mughal cavalry that may come from the periphery."

Facing the enemy's fierce attack, the Bangladeshi infantry battalion with a stronger fighting will managed to break through the enemy's defense in one go, and attacked the reverse slope of the high ground.At this time, their artillery companions also stopped shelling. The Bangladesh infantry battalion swept across the Mughal artillery, killed nearly a hundred enemy soldiers, and destroyed and seized [-] enemy artillery pieces.

What the head of the regiment was worried about also happened. Another Mughal cavalry arrived. Fortunately, the infantry regiment that had been delayed before this time also arrived on the battlefield. After getting cheap and taking a small loss, they began to retreat.

Similar things are happening everywhere on the entire front.The Ming army, which was fully advancing, continued to compress the Mughal army, while Aurangzeb's main force still pursued Chaudhry without making any progress.At this time, Chaudhry's 22nd Brigade made a [-]-degree turn to the west and crossed the Ganges River.

Aurangzeb didn't realize what kind of operation it was, and quickly ordered the army to pursue it across the river.There is nothing else in his eyes, only Choudhury's 22nd brigade.
