Sixteen battalions of the Qing Ma Army passed through the Dongqing Gulch in turn, deployed at the exit of the canyon, and confronted the Western Sichuan Army. When all the 16,000-strong Qing Ma Army passed through the Dongqing Gulch, it was already
It’s ten o’clock in the morning on April 12th.
Ma Haiyan, Zhou He and Gu Hongyun also arrived outside the canyon. They stood on a higher ground and observed the position of the Western Sichuan Army.
"Admiral, it seems that the Western Sichuan Army has been prepared for a long time! Although their fortifications are simple, their firepower is very complete. It may not be easy for us to break through their defense line!" Gu Hongyun put down the telescope in his hand.
, said with some worry. It has been proven countless times before that it is difficult for the cavalry to win when facing the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army in a narrow terrain.
"Admiral, why don't we choose to take a detour! Wait until the Ma Jiajun and Ningma Army in Hezhou arrive, and then we can make a long-term plan!" Zhou He also advised. As soon as he saw that the Western Sichuan Army was ready, he felt more and more worried.
More and more uneasy.
"Humph! We're already here, how can we back out? Have you been frightened by the Western Sichuan Army all these years?" Ma Haiyan said displeased. The long march made him a little tired and his face was a little pale. But his eyes
It was bright and energetic, and seemed very excited.
"Yes, Lord Admiral!" Gu Hongyun and Zhou He could no longer insist on their opinions.
"Come here, order the 13th, 14th, 16th, and 18th battalions to attack in ten minutes. I want to see their horse hooves break through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line and use their sabers to cut down the Western Sichuan Army.
head!" Ma Haiyan ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander!" The messenger immediately went down to deliver the order. Soon, there was a change in the troops on the Qingma Army's side. Four battalions of troops separated from the Qingma Army and slowly moved forward for a couple of seconds.
A hundred meters away, and then wait for the final attack order.
"Get ready, the Qingma Army is about to attack!" After discovering the abnormality of the Qingma Army, officers at all levels of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army shouted. The soldiers in the simple trenches loaded their bullets, and everyone in front
Five grenades were also placed, heavy machine guns were aimed at the front, and bullet belts made of canvas were already prepared. Behind them were dozens of mortars, and these mortars were also
We are ready to fire. Behind, there is an artillery position for 8 Type 82 infantry guns. All the soldiers' horses are left behind and under the care of dedicated personnel. When fighting a positional defense battle, the horses cannot be placed in the position.
On the one hand, it will cause unnecessary losses. On the other hand, if the war horse is frightened, it will adversely affect the defense.
"Attack!" Just after ten minutes, the cavalry of the Qingma Army launched a charge. The war horses gradually accelerated from the initial trot, getting faster and faster. The distance of three kilometers, for the high-speed charging war horses,
It only takes about 8 minutes.
"Fire!" At this time, the artillery position of the Western Sichuan Army also fired. The eight Type 82 infantry cannons began to fire at maximum speed. During the battle, the maximum rate of fire of the Type 82 infantry cannon was four rounds per minute. One
Cannonballs smashed into the marching ranks of the Qing Ma Army, causing violent explosions. Shrapnel was scattered in the firelight, and many Qing Ma Army soldiers were knocked off their horses. Even if they were not killed, they were still alive.
He was trampled to death by the war horses behind him.
The shelling of the Western Sichuan Army caused some chaos to the Qingma Army, but the impact was very limited. Even after some people and horses were killed, the Qingma Army behind them moved along, filled the vacancies again, and continued to charge with neat cavalry formations
Launched a charge against the Western Sichuan Army. It must be said that the charge of a large number of cavalry was indeed very spectacular. The overwhelming momentum was indeed unmatched by other troops before the appearance of the armored forces.
Wang Yuze and Cai Yun, protected by a group of guards, were paying attention to the dynamics of the battlefield on a high ground far away from the scene. Or, to be more precise, they were waiting for the Western Sichuan Army to massacre the Qingma Army. Both of them were
I believe that the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is like a copper wall and an iron wall, which will definitely make the Qingma Army hit its head and bleed with blood. The cavalry has begun to gradually decline!
"Kill!" The cavalry of the Qingma Army braved the artillery fire of the Western Sichuan Army, shouting slogans of killing the enemy, and charged towards the Western Sichuan Army's position. The distance was gradually shortened by them.
When the Qingma Army rushed to one kilometer away from the Western Sichuan Army, the mortars of the Western Sichuan Army also opened fire. Dozens of mortars poured shells at the Qingma Army at the maximum rate of fire. The shells were fired one after another at the Qingma Army.
The Qingma Army's charge queue exploded, taking lives with them, whether they were human or war horses. Although the power of mortars was not as powerful as infantry artillery, the Western Sichuan Army's mortars were more numerous and had a higher rate of fire.
Faster. The mortars currently equipped by the Western Sichuan Army have a maximum rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute. Hundreds of shells fall on the heads of the Qingma Army every minute, causing serious trauma to the Qingma Army.
Under the fierce shelling of the Western Sichuan Army, the Qingma Army's charge formation fell into chaos. Many soldiers of the Qingma Army were frightened by the fierce artillery fire of the Western Sichuan Army and wanted to retreat. However, they were rushed up from behind.
The cavalry collided with them, and the scene was extremely chaotic. This gave the Western Sichuan Army an opportunity to bombard them.
"Attack! Attack!" Ma Haiyan was furious when he saw this situation.
"Woo!" A long horn sound sounded, conveying the order to the Qing Ma Army soldiers in front. After hearing the order, the Qing Ma Army soldiers launched a charge again. However, the charging formation was completely chaotic. Moreover, there were many casualties.
It was huge. For a distance of two kilometers, they paid at least a thousand people. For the remaining one kilometer, they would obviously suffer a greater blow.
Every step the soldiers of the Qingma Army made in charging almost cost their lives. After they paid a heavy price and continued to advance for 500 meters, they were not far from the position of the Western Sichuan Army. Victory seemed to be ahead.
!
"Yes, charge forward! Use your swords to chop off the heads of the Western Sichuan Army!" Ma Haiyan yelled crazily.
"Fire!" At this time, all the heavy machine guns on the Western Sichuan Army's position opened fire. Dozens of heavy machine guns spurted out tongues of flame and swept towards the Qing Ma Army. The bullets fired formed a metal storm. Those who were flying at high speed
The charging Qingma troops were easily knocked down one by one like wheat. The last five hundred meters seemed very close, but it was undoubtedly the road leading to death.
The heavy machine guns currently equipped by the Western Sichuan Army have a rate of fire of up to 600 rounds per minute and an effective range of 700 meters. Within this distance, flesh and blood cannot resist it. The soldiers of the Qingma Army are very brave, facing Western Sichuan
The Western Sichuan Army launched an attack with a hail of bullets. However, no matter how hard they tried, they were still unable to rush to the Western Sichuan Army's position. Especially after the rifles in the hands of the Western Sichuan Army soldiers also opened fire, the dense bullets blocked their progress.
roads. Even if they are occasionally very lucky, they escape the triple blow of shelling, heavy machine guns and lances, and are lucky enough to break through to a place only a few dozen meters away from the Western Sichuan Army position. But at this time, they are often greeted by
One grenade after another completely cut off their thoughts of rushing into the Western Sichuan Army's position.
Under the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, the Qingma Army collapsed. The huge casualties made their courage completely exhausted. At this time, no one could hope to break through the Western Sichuan Army's defense.
The most important thing is to save lives first. When they handed their backs to the Western Sichuan Army to escape, the Western Sichuan Army once again harvested countless lives.
Ma Haiyan looked at all this with a livid face. These soldiers were all his years of hard work! Every time one was killed by the Western Sichuan Army, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Gu Hongqiang and Zhou He also looked pale. The charge of the Qingma Army was not unpowerful, but in front of the Western Sichuan Army's position, it was like waves trying to hit the coast, and they were shattered on the rocks. This
It's not a battle, it's just a massacre!
When the defeated soldiers of the four battalions returned, they counted the number of people and found that out of the 4,000 people when they set out, there were only more than 1,000 people left when they came back. Hearing this battle damage report, Ma Haiyan's eyes darkened and he almost fell down.
