Mountain cannons are curved cannons, infantry cannons are direct cannons, one can kill and injure combatants in trenches, and the other can carry out devastating blows on enemy fixed fortifications.

The Black Hawk Army's artillery distribution is very scientific.

The bombardment for twenty minutes made the No. 1 position full of devastation. The originally white and neat hills were blown to black and yellow, completely unrecognizable.

Shang Wenqing, who was watching all this with a telescope on the main peak position, had his muscles collapsed tightly, how could he not worry? There were nearly 300 soldiers on that position! If it weren't for the fact that Liu Lang's military plan and the fact that he was going to come to command in person, Cai Dadao and others would have directed the soldiers to dig enough anti-aircraft holes in various positions, and they might have not seen such fierce artillery fire in the Black Hawk Empire Army. Just seeing the thousands of troops of the Black Hawk Empire Army, Shang Wenqing would have ordered the abandonment of this place and retreated into the mountains as before.

Liu Lang's expression beside him was very calm. The fierce artillery fire of the Black Hawk Army had long been as expected. But the Black Hawk Empire Army wanted to capture the mountaintop position without paying a price with artillery fire. That would be too much. If they were all replaced with 150 caliber heavy howitzers, it might be almost the same.

Unfortunately, can they transport that thing in?

However, Liu Lang's desire to give Lengzi a ruthless wish to give the Black Hawk Army artillery troops was also dashed. The infantry corps of the Fourth Division obviously learned the lesson of the sneak attack of the 8th Division's artillery troops in the Battle of the Ancient City. There were at least two infantry squadrons on both sides of the artillery troops building field defense positions. It was too difficult to make their ideas.

Of course, this is why they bullied Shang Wen Qing's army without artillery or not with sufficient range. If the two Bofos mountain cannons of Zhao Ergou Artillery Battalion with a range of up to 9,000 meters were here, they would definitely teach the Black Hawk Army artillerymen who deployed artillery positions at only 2,500 meters away from the front line how to be human.

The infantry squadron responsible for the attack still adopted an infantry squadron head-on attack forever, and the two infantry squadrons were circling the flanks to restrain and find the enemy's flaws. The Black Hawk Army infantry offensive tactics were used to attack the Black Hawk Army.

The air force, who had fought no less than ten battles in two years with the Black Hawk Army, also knew very well that this was the Black Hawk Army's feint attack. Once the fire point was exposed, their grenade launchers and approaching infantry artillery would focus on the fire point, and then use heavy firepower to suppress the defensive infantry to cover the charge and capture the position.

Although the routine is simple, it is very practical, especially for the kingdom army that lacks heavy firepower, they are often helpless. In the end, they can only choose to risk the enemy's superior firepower and shoot at the fire, and the result is naturally heavy casualties.

Sure enough, when the Black Hawk Army infantry team advanced to about 200 meters from the mountainside position with a scattered line, with the sound of a horn on the main peak, the light and heavy machine guns deployed by the Air Force on the position began to speak. After several people were swept down continuously, several Black Hawk Army grenade launchers hiding behind natural bunkers such as valleys and other natural bunkers were hiding for more than 200 meters behind them, they began to fire frantically, bombing at several firepower points that had just been fired. Several infantry guns that had reached only 800 meters away from the front line also fired violently, as if they would not destroy the exposed firepower points of the National Saving Army.

Regardless of whether it was really destroyed or not, as soon as the artillery fired on the mountainside position, the firepower of the National Savior Army on the mountainside position was silent, and as many as 4 92 heavy machine guns arranged on the rear of the Black Hawk Army infantry team also began to fire, launching firepower suppression on the air defense positions.

You should know that one infantry brigade of the Black Hawk Army had only two machine gun squads equipped with a total of 8 heavy machine guns. For this attack, the infantry brigade responsible for the main attack directly took out half of the heavy firepower. In addition, the 6 light machine guns owned by the infantry squadron, the fierce fire of ten light machine guns made the air force splash on the air force's positions. In addition, the artillery fire was still sounding continuously, and nearly 300 air force soldiers on the position were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads, let alone fire to counterattack.

Observing this situation, the Black Hawk Army, who had just crawled on the ground to avoid bullets, jumped up and shouted "charge" and launched a charge, under the loud shout of a second lieutenant of the Black Hawk Army pulling out his sabre.

The Black Hawk Army's charge ability is really not enough. In just ten seconds, they advanced about forty or fifty meters. A Black Hawk Army infantry squadron, as the reserve team behind them, began to move, and two squadrons of more than 100 Black Hawk Army were forcing this side.

Obviously, this has turned feint attack into real attack, and the Black Hawk Army actually broke the battle. Liu Lang, who was watching all this from the telescope, couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule on his lips. The Fourth Division took itself too seriously. Do you really think that the Black Hawk Empire Army is the best in the world?

"Captain Liu, did you order the brothers in the trench to fight back, otherwise the team of Black Hawk Empires would rush forward?" Shang Wenqing put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Liu Lang with a somewhat anxious expression.

Before the war, Liu Lang, who had taken over Shang Wenqing's command, had already ordered that the command of the No. 1 and No. 2 frontier positions shall be fully commanded, and no one shall open fire at will to cause unnecessary casualties.

"No hurry, there are too few Blackhawk Empires in a small team, not enough, wait a little longer." Liu Lang, who was looking at the two infantry squads who were gradually accelerating in the telescope's vision, shook his head and said.

"But..." Shang Wenqing wanted to speak again, but saw that Liu Lang had no intention of continuing to explain to him. He could only stomp his feet and helplessly picked up the telescope in his hand and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

If Liu Lang hadn't left an indelible impression on Shang Wenqing's heart two years ago, Shang Wenqing would have argued loudly no matter what. But the two battles of Liu Captain Liu were really amazing, and even Shang Wenqing had no hesitation to hand over the command.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Faced with such an offensive by the Black Hawk Army, the highest commander of the Air Force is so anxious, let alone the soldiers still in the trenches.

At this time, perhaps because the distance between the Black Hawk Army was getting closer, the Black Hawk Army's infantry artillery had ceased, and the grenade launcher gradually disappeared, and only the Black Hawk Army's light and heavy machine guns were still suppressing firepower.

The battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the Air Force, who was stationed in the No. 1 position, was lying in a bunker reinforced with logs and camouflaged with loess, watching the small team of Black Hawks gradually approaching the position, and was already anxious.

As the front line commander, he knew very well what the consequences would be if a team of more than fifty Black Hawks were attacked into the trenches. It would lead to two infantry squads that restrained their firepower on the side also began to charge. When more than one hundred Black Hawks who were following up behind entered the position, in the end, his more than 200 brothers under him could not retreat even if they wanted to retreat. That was much more terrible than defeat.

That was the end of annihilation.

The Black Hawk Army was only forty or fifty meters away from the position, and the soldiers in the trench had even seen the big yellow teeth exposed when the Black Hawk Army opened its mouth and shouted.

"Order the No. 1 position to fight back head-on. Except for heavy machine guns, all light machine guns can be fired. Pay attention to the grenade launchers of the Black Hawk Empire and smash the grenades hard to me." Liu Lang's military order was also issued at a time.

Since there was no professional communications force like the Independent Regiment, at Liu Lang's suggestion, Shangwen Qing's ministry cleverly used the length of the trumpet's sound to establish its slightly simple and unique message transmission.

Although the sound delivered is only a few hundred meters, this is enough for a battlefield of this level.

The battalion commander who received the counterattack signal from the command center roared: "Drop the grenade, fire the light machine gun, and beat the Black Hawk Empire back."

Due to insufficient artillery and the shells were really difficult to transport, grenades were the "heavy weapon" that the independent regiment helped Shang Wenqing's Ministry the most. However, due to the limited conditions, the shipment was not finished products, but mostly gunpowder. The long wooden handle and cast iron shell shells had to be produced by Shang Wenqing and others. How to make them? Liu Lang specially sent two technicians to Qingning County to guide them in production for half a year.

It can be said that in terms of the number of weapons, the most common thing in the Qing Dynasty now is not the millions of bullets left by Liu Lang to them, but the grenades that have been produced continuously for two years. Although the earth iron smelting process is rough, it unexpectedly caused a very high fragmentation rate. At the same time, the gunpowder provided by Liu Lang is of good quality. The power of the earth-made long-handled grenade made by the peasant army is very strong, which is not inferior to the grenades made by the domestic regular military factories obtained by the Wang Guojun.

At this time, the Black Hawk Army had entered the area 40 meters in front of the position.

It can only be said that Liu Lang's military order to counterattack was really just right. In this area, the best distance to throw grenades from a high place. If the Black Hawk Army's grenade was on the plain, it might be able to throw more than 30 meters. But at this position, you let him go from bottom to top. No matter how far they can't throw, even if the slope is not very steep.

The more than 100 soldiers on the front position couldn't even see the Black Hawk Army, which had entered the final charge and began to run wildly, and tried hard to throw out three or four grenades around him that had been arranged long ago.

This is nearly five hundred grenades, almost equivalent to five hundred mortar shells.
