Ma Xiao interfaced and said: What I am most worried about now is the direction of Leshan. Although Zhang Guandai and Hengshuai are brothers, and the new army from Leshan has not yet arrived. But once Zhu Qinglan puts pressure on him, Zhang Xu has to attack.
The battalion is well-equipped and Zhang Xu is commanding it well. I am afraid it will pose a great threat to us.
Zhang Xu won't move for the time being. Wang Hengyue was silent for a moment: He is a smart man and loyal. At least for the time being, he will not move. Moreover, Yu Lei has already gone to his place.
After saying that, he pressed the command knife:
Pay attention to the enemy in front of you first, order Liu Sihai's artillery team to wait for the Qing army to attack, and provide full artillery support!
Wei Shunzhi, the commander of the third battalion of the patrol battalion, and Jiang Naihe, the commander of the fourth battalion, raised their swords almost at the same time:
Brothers, go ahead, wipe out the rebellious parties, and serve the imperial court!
This was the army trained by Ma Weiqi. Wei Shunzhi and Jiang Naihe were also Ma Weiqi's most loyal and capable subordinates.
What's slightly ironic is that the enemy they face now is the army commanded by Ma Junmen's grandson-in-law.
He served the imperial court, but he was ashamed of Ma Junmen.
The patrol battalion cautiously pressed toward the civilian army positions.
Chinese Army artillery position.
The cannon has taken off its gun jacket, and its black muzzle is facing forward.
Battalion Commander, the Qing army has begun to attack!
Liu Sihai nodded. The Qing army's cannons had been wreaking havoc for so long, now it's time for him to show off his skills!
Slowly pulled out the command knife: Prepare each gun!
Ready!
Liu Sihai drew the distance: Attention, each artillery piece, target infantry!
Target infantry!
Distance 2400!
Distance 2400!
One shot reload!
One shot reload!
One basic cannon shot, rapid fire!
A rapid shot!
put!
put!
The artillery shells came out of the barrel, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and then fell straight towards the charging Qing army.
Boom, boom, there were continuous explosions. Dozens of people in the Qing army, who had been charging fiercely just now, were suddenly blown into the sky. Miserable screams were heard one after another, and the entire offensive formation was instantly disrupted!
Distance 2350, turn right 25, load one round, fire two guns!
Orders came one after another, and shells roared out one after another.
The Qing army was bombed into chaos, and bursts of cheers came from the civilian army positions that had just been bullied by the Qing army's artillery!
This is the first time I have seen the power of Wang Hengyue's artillery. Those militiamen and revolutionary parties who have participated in several uprisings never imagined that one day they would also have artillery support!
This is undoubtedly a huge encouragement to their confidence!
Liu Sihai breathed a long sigh of relief!
The chaotic Qing army, with the explosions heard everywhere, finally lived up to Commander Heng's high hopes for the artillery.
Liu Sang, the accuracy of the artillery is still not enough. Masahiro Suzuki beside him seems to be not satisfied with the artillery: such artillery cannot compete with the world's top artillery.
Liu Sihai glanced at the Japanese: Suzuki, why do you think you have such a surname? It sounds like the mausoleum. Our artillery has just started, and it cannot be compared with the artillery of the Germans and the British. Well, I have to admit, it is also
It can't be compared with your Japanese artillery, but we are working hard to catch up, and sooner or later we will catch up.
Speaking of this, he suddenly asked: You said that one day we will go to war with Japan again, which side are you on?
Suzuki Masahiro was stunned. He never thought that the officer would ask such a question. He was silent for a long time: I can't answer you now. I am a Japanese, but I am here now. I don't want to see it.
Let’s start a war on Zhonglu Day. Although I didn’t think so before.
Liu Sihai laughed a few times: If that day really comes, you will have to choose even if you don't want to. Suzuki, just work hard with us. Hengshuai has many foreigners, look at Pete, West, Mario
Which one of them is not reused by Hengshuai? Go back to Japan, a tiny place, and stay here with us to work hard!
Fight, fight!
At the civilian army position, Wang Tianjie and the commanders screamed at the top of their lungs.
Although the patrol battalion trained by Ma Weiqi himself is not as elite as the new army, it is by no means the kind of army that can be defeated in one strike.
After surviving the panic and chaos of the shelling, the patrol battalion reorganized their formation and roared toward the civilian army positions.
Bullets were flying in the air, and people kept falling to the ground, and then could not get up again.
Behind them was the cover of the Qing army's heavy machine guns. Bullets flew out in clusters, hitting the position with dust flying around. Some well-hidden militiamen raised their heads and soon fell to the bullets of the heavy machine guns.
.
These militiamen, composed almost entirely of party members and porters, still showed their bravery.
They have not received any military training, and many of them even learned to shoot for the first time, the first battlefield, and the first time to face death.
But these people clung to their positions, using their few weapons and bullets to desperately block the enemy's attack!
A militiaman who was perhaps less than twenty fell in a pool of blood. His whole body was twitching, and one arm and one leg were broken, but he was still murmuring:
Fight, fight, long live independence, long live Shouyi
Then, he gradually stopped twitching and stared at the sky with his eyes wide open, but he had lost his life.
Long live independence, long live Shouyi! The cry resounded throughout the entire position. It was under such encouragement that these irregular military combatants were safeguarding the glory of Shouyi with fearless courage!
The Qing army's offensive encountered serious obstacles. They rushed forward again and again, but were beaten down again and again. They clearly saw the rebels falling in pieces under the rain of bullets, but the chaos
But the party showed no intention of backing down.
The civilian army made up for their lack of training with courage, and made up for the gap between them and the enemy with their spirit of sacrifice.
The Qing army's three consecutive charges were repulsed because of the fearless courage of the civilian army. However, corpses could be seen everywhere in and outside the position.
The civilian army and the Qing army were intertwined in this way.
This was the first battle after the independence of Rong County. Relying on the extraordinary performance of the civilian army and their efforts, in this first battle, the Qing army, which was expected to win, did not take any advantage! Not finished yet
