1165, Duel between gunboats and infantry and cavalry II
"If it is the kind of whistling sound that suddenly appears and then disappears suddenly, it means that the shell is not far from you. At this time, the most correct choice is to lie down immediately, otherwise you may be hit by shrapnel."
"If it is a low and rapid "Puff, Puff, Puff" sound, it means that the shell is right above your head and will fall at any time. If it is this kind of sound, it will be too late to do anything. Anyone who has heard this sound is either dead.
Either he happened to be hiding in the crater of the previous shell, and he was lucky enough to escape."
"The shells of different artillery have different whistling sounds. The whistling sound of howitzer shells is pure and single, sharp and clear. The sharp whistling sound of rockets is also mixed with a sound similar to human breathing. The whistling sound of mortar and mortar shells
It's like the long strings of a violin."
It was the first time Zhang Fengyi heard that there were these new artillery pieces. The only artillery pieces she had ever seen or heard about were the Ming Dynasty's five different sizes and models of general cannons.
This kind of gun has a flat bottom, a large caliber, and a short barrel. There are also reinforcement ribs on the barrel. It looks like a Japanese pheasant neck machine gun.
Then there is the Folang machine gun. A breech-loaded gun with a musket, which has a fast rate of fire, strong firepower, and a short range.
She has also heard of the red cannon, but she has never seen it.
My grandpa said that the cannon was very heavy, weighing three to five thousand pounds. The tail of the cannon was round with a small ball.
She had never heard of Yang Fan's artillery. However, she firmly believed that these unheard of artillery must be very powerful.
"Brother Yang, do you have all these artillery pieces?"
"Except for mortars, which have high requirements for steel and are still being tested, everything else has been developed, but it still takes time to equip the troops."
"Brother Yang, with your machine guns and cannons, can you judge the danger from the sound of shooting?"
"All I know is that if you hear a buzzing sound in your ears, like the sound of wind blowing through the grass, it means that the bullet is flying by your ear."
At this time, there was a loud noise in the distance, and a huge plume of smoke rose up. Mud, broken limbs, broken shield vehicles, broken weapons and stones flew everywhere. They flew high into the sky and then fell like raindrops.
This time it landed in the middle of a dense infantry array. The shock wave swept across the surrounding firecrackers and spearmen. The advance of the right wing immediately stopped. The army on the left wing saw the miserable situation on the right wing and was frightened into a commotion.
But soon, the cavalry supervising the battle rushed up and used whips to drive these people forward as quickly as possible.
A commander shouted loudly, don't stop, engage the enemy as soon as possible, don't stay here and get bombed.
Soon, everyone realized that they must engage the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more dangerous to stay here.
The speed of the left wing suddenly accelerated, and everyone tried to overcome the fear in their hearts and rushed up quickly.
The army on the right saw the left wing speeding up. They immediately understood the intention of the left wing army. They also speeded up.
Zhang Wudian sighed and said: "I have been fighting with the Mongolian tribes in the Mongolia outside Yanmen Pass for more than ten years. Only today did I know that the Mongolian tribes in the Mongolia are so brave. If we give them a chance, within thirty years, they will definitely
Rise up. I’m afraid even the slaves will have a headache by then.”
Yang Fan said with a smile: "My dear Mr. Zhang, this is the Mongols' last moment of glory. The Mongols of Mongolia are their last luck. After the Mongols of Mongolia are over, there will be no possibility for the Mongols to rise again. So, I give up."
After the Mongolian Mongolia, we must destroy all the Mongolian tribes in the Mongolia. Only by destroying the Great Wall can we achieve long-term peace and stability."
"Target, 2500 meters, fire!"
"Target, 2000 meters, fire!"
…
As Huang Hao continued to give orders, rounds of heavy high-explosive bombs fell in the array on the right wing. Every time a shell fell, it was a mess of blood and blood, covering an area of half a football field.
Even Yang Fan began to admire these people, and their enemies also admired their bravery.
One thousand five hundred meters later, after the heavy artillery opened fire, the 30mm cannons on both sides of the gunboat opened fire.
The sailors loaded the magazine box of the single-point bullet and pulled out the canvas ammunition chain. The six heavy barrels of the Gatling cannon began to rotate, flames spurted out, and the shell casings rolled down like rain.
Come.
Two machine guns opened fire on the left and right corps on both sides of the river.
At this time, the right wing had suffered more than a thousand casualties from heavy artillery. The remaining men were still charging at a faster pace without any hesitation.
Yang Fan knew that these people should be the elite soldiers of Taiji.
"Weigh anchor, move forward, let's rush up." Yang Fan suddenly ordered.
Because he saw that the 30mm single-head projectile of the machine gun was not very effective at a distance of 1,500 meters. At this distance, it could no longer penetrate the three-layer hard board of the shield vehicle.
When they saw the shield car blocking the terrifying firearms, the Mongols immediately let out a burst of cheers.
The previous exchange of shots on the river embankment had frightened them out of their courage.
These death's scythes, carrying the fire of hell, struck them repeatedly. Wherever they passed, everyone was beaten into pieces, even the horses were broken. They were frightened to the point of splitting their livers and gallbladders.
At this time, they saw that the shield cart had an effect. Just like when they pushed the shield cart and carried wooden rafts to attack the castles of various city-states in the Western Regions, the firecrackers and small artillery fired from the city walls were blocked.
As long as they can restrain themselves, they will immediately eliminate their fear.
As they accelerated their charge, they saw that the ship also accelerated.
This puzzled them. If the ship stayed there, wouldn't it be better to use the distance to fire more shots? Why should they hedge?
"Advance at full speed, insert between the two military formations, and use machine guns to sweep through their infantry." Yang Fan ordered.
Both steam engines burned heavy oil, and the fire started very quickly. As the transmission system was reconnected, visible to the naked eye, the gunboat suddenly started, and then accelerated towards it.
"Stop firing the bow artillery and use the machine cannon to deal with them." Yang Fan said.
The speed of the gunboat was much faster than they could walk. Within a few minutes, the gunboat had rushed in front of them. A huge splash of water was caused by the bow of the ship.
The barrels of the two machine guns rotated crazily, and dense fire nets sprayed towards both sides of the bank.
At this time, the wooden planks of the shield vehicle no longer functioned. In fact, they could block single-head bullets of less than 30 mm from 300 meters away.
The shield cart was hit with wood chips flying everywhere, countless sharp wooden thorns flying everywhere, and the slaves pushing the cart behind screamed in agony.
This kind of single-head bullet has a lead-coated steel core and has extremely strong penetrating power. It directly penetrated the shield vehicle at this distance. The soldiers behind the vehicle were hit one by one.
Suddenly, a blood mist rose up, and such a large-caliber bullet basically had a shattering effect when it hit a person.
The Mongolian officers shouted loudly and quickly threw the raft into the river.
Unfortunately, the gunboats had already rushed over. Under the crazy fire of the machine guns, they could not get close to the river.
In the blink of an eye, the gunboat rushed through the shield car line and entered the middle of the two military formations on the left and right wings. The machine guns on both sides fired back and forth at the dense crowds on both sides.
The crowds carrying rafts fell to the ground one by one. At this time, they had lost the protection of the shield vehicles and were completely exposed to the fire of the machine guns.
