Chapter 1473 This is very tragic
They actually lost their supreme commander just one minute after the battle began.
Qu Zhe was naturally angry when he found out that he had gone to the wrong place, especially in the shells that the kingdoms kept falling. He only saw the extremely brave Black Hawk Empire Army lying in the pile of sand and burying his head as an ostrich or standing up in panic and trying to hide in the river and being swept down by the kingdoms' machine guns. The Black Hawk Army Colonel was even more angry.
The mind of the brave Colonel of the Black Hawk Army was filled with anger. He made an extremely heroic move. He pulled out his command knife and stood up, and strode forward and waved the command knife: "Bastard! Go!"
He meant to insist on fighting with the kingdoms, and immediately the mountain cannons and infantry cannons placed behind him would fire the abominable kingdoms. It has to be said that at that moment, the colonel of the Black Hawk Army, who was standing in the rain of artillery fire and bullets, was like a god of war, giving nearly a thousand Black Hawk troops on the sandbank great courage.
Their gunfire never stopped, and the reeds, shrubs and cotton poles in front of the trenches fell.
If two gangs of street gangsters were fighting with watermelon knives at this time, the Black Hawk Army Colonel was naturally very pretentious and arrogant. However, in this era of hot weapons against two armies with rifles and machine guns, the goal of showing off is so obvious, that is really too big. Especially when he was still wearing extremely obvious white gloves.
The young soldier who was scolded by his veteran squad leader was actually very scared. Even though the bullets fired by the Black Hawk Empire blindly were still far away from him, the surrounding land was almost frightened by the sound of bullets.
However, after pulling the bolt in succession and firing three bullets, the young soldier's heart gradually calmed down. The young soldier who pulled the bolt from the hiding trenches again rushed to his own battle position instead of firing the bullets with his head buried as he told his veteran squad leader, but raised his head and looked more than 300 meters away to look for the target.
To be honest, the distance more than 300 meters away has already exceeded the shooting distance of the soldiers of Qiu Tong Army. They can hit the target 100 meters away. They are all sharpshooters in Qiu Tong Army, not to mention shooting at this time when the sight is not good. At this moment, infantry fired purely about a probability, and it will be normal to encounter it if it is touched.
The veterans understood this truth very well. They buried their heads and fired a few more bullets while they were alive to increase the probability of hitting the Black Hawk Army. Including those light and heavy machine gun shooters in the 48th Regiment, even though they were fighting happily, they also shot more bullets and hit the Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire's target was pitiful. Who can guarantee that they could hit them after a long time of aiming? If you have that skill, it's better to shoot a few more bullets.
But the recruits who have not been on the battlefield several times do not know that after they have abandoned their fear of death, they will impose confidence in themselves, believing that they can aim at the enemy and kill the enemy. This is also one of the reasons why the mortality rate of recruits is far higher than that of veterans. Before the real life and death, veterans will never raise their heads high and spend at least ten seconds to aim at an enemy. That will undoubtedly send their lives to the bullets shot from the enemy.
Of course, when the enemy rushes to a shooting range of 150 meters, it is another matter. If you don’t kill the enemy as soon as possible, you will only die. If you are still hiding at that time, you will not be a veteran but a greedy person who is afraid of death.
The young soldier had good eyesight. He raised his head and happened to see the Black Hawk Army Colonel who waved his command knife and pointed at him here to give orders. Although the distance of more than 300 meters made him unable to see the rank of the Black Hawk Army, instinctively, this was an extremely good target. The soldier aimed at the Black Hawk Army's "God of War" who was pretending to be in the artillery fire.
His rifle was held firmly, and with unparalleled confidence, the young soldier fired.
God always favors those guys who have made efforts. Even though his confidence is a bit blind, aiming and shooting are completely different concepts. Even if he thinks he holds the gun very steadily, in fact, his hands can't help but tremble slightly when the moment he pulls the trigger and shoots, the young soldier can't help regretting his incompetence after firing. He is still scared, when a shuttle machine gun bullets sweep the soil more than ten meters away in front of him.
Perhaps, he could not hit the bull's-eye 350 meters away by 10,000 bullets on the shooting range, but this time, with his gunshot, the Black Hawk Army Colonel wearing white gloves holding a commanding knife fell to the ground.
"He is a fairy, I've hit the sea pot." The young soldier who was still regretting almost didn't dance.
"A little girl, let me hang out! If you want to die, get away!" The veteran squad leader next to him slapped the excited recruit in his head angrily.
As for the Black Hawk Army Colonel, who was obviously defeated by a missed kingdom soldier, was quietly lying on the sandbank, and no kingdom soldier looked at him again. Similarly, no one recorded the death of the Black Hawk Army Colonel on the young soldier's credit card.
Only the post-war Black Hawk Army battle report briefly described the death of this brave Black Hawk Army colonel: Colonel Qu Zhe was penetrated into his nose by a bullet. The terrible bullet smashed the bones of his nose and then rotated into his brain at high speed, shattering the back of his head. Before the doctor arrived, Colonel Qu Zhe's body stopped trembling, probably because he was shrouded in the glory of the gods!
The young soldier who had no idea that he had made great contributions accidentally kept imitating his veteran squad leader in the subsequent battle, hiding his body, and trying hard to shoot the bullets towards the sandbank.
The Black Hawk Army's infantry artillery, mountain cannons and more than a dozen heavy machine guns were also roaring. Although it exceeded 700 meters, the artillery fire composed of eight cannons was also terrifying, and the light and heavy firepower points and infantrymen in the infantry battalion facing the sandbank were so hard that they could not raise their heads.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But this cannot help the thousands of Black Hawks that are still located in the sandbank in the heart of the river. At this time, the one that killed the most was no longer the bullets fired by light and heavy machine guns and rifles, but artillery shells.
In addition to 11 mortars, four 41 mountain cannons located in Shouhuai City 6 kilometers away also began to test the fire after obtaining the news. 7,000 meters are already their ultimate range, while the sandbank is just within this range.
The power of the 75mm mountain cannon is much greater than that of the mortar. If you shoot one shot, more than a dozen Black Hawks will die. In order to reduce the density, the Black Hawks had to crawl towards the center of the sandbank. Even if they knew that it was undoubtedly a poison to quench thirst, it was very likely that they would die, but everyone gathered together and was bombarded and died faster. Death early and late were still very different for those in despair.
Why didn't anyone get on the folding boat that was still docked on the shore to escape? First, it was because of several rounds of bombing of the kingdoms mountain cannons and mortars, and half of the folding boat was blown up on the spot; second, it was not only the kingdoms on the front were firing with heavy machine guns, but there were still many heavy machine guns shooting at the sandbank on both sides, but they might die faster when they got on the folding boat; of course, the most important thing was that they did not receive the military order to retreat.
Qu Zhe, who was not wearing a steel helmet and was brave enough to force people to stand on the front line to prove to both sides with his face that it was impossible to see his true face when he was shot. It was extremely stupid for the commander to rush to the front line to command the battle with his courage.
Although the Supreme Commander chooses to charge with the officers and soldiers, which can greatly increase morale, but this cannot prevent the accident from happening and the Supreme Commander is dead in battle, the entire combat force will fall into a panic of losing command. Even if the Black Hawk Army is very well-trained and determined that its highest commander, Colonel Qu Zhe, was killed in the battle, quickly took over by Lieutenant Colonel Pan Qian, deputy captain of the 47th Infantry Regiment and captain of the 1st Infantry Regiment, in accordance with the wartime regulations, Lieutenant Colonel Pan Qian, deputy captain of the 47th Infantry Regiment and captain of the 1st Infantry Regiment, but that was already ten minutes later.
Ten minutes is already a bit too long for the battlefield where the battle situation is changing rapidly, not to mention the Black Hawk Army and the engineers of the two squadrons who are suffering every second on the sandbank!
Without Shangguan's military order to retreat, the Black Hawk Army, which abides by military rules, generally rarely retreats, even if it is suppressed very badly, especially for the soldiers from the strongest division on the surface, who have always claimed to be the brave and tough 6th Division.
Therefore, for more than ten minutes, they had been lying on the sandbank against the shells that the kingdom army had fallen freely, and they had the hard spirit of the future heroes lying in the grass to fight against the incendiary bombs.
It was not until Lieutenant Colonel Pan Qian of the Black Hawk Army that the Black Hawk Army, located on the sandbank, received a retreat message from the Jiangban position behind him. But at this time, thousands of Black Hawk Army were ravaged over and over again in the artillery fire.
The 48th Regiment had no idea how many Black Hawk Army they had killed in the 10-minute battle, but only knew that the Black Hawk Army corpses were everywhere on the sandbank. Because they had to deal with the battle behind, they had no chance to go to the sandbank to count them. They didn't even know how many Black Hawk Army soldiers who jumped into the river and tried to swim in the water to return to their positions were swallowed by the surging Jiafu River.
Perhaps only the Black Hawk Army itself knew. The 10th Army battle report after the war described the losses caused by the 47th Infantry Regiment's mistaken choice of landing ground: the 47th Infantry Regiment, including the corps captain Colonel Qu Zhe, 809 people were landed in the 1st Infantry Battalion, 380 people were killed in battle, 190 were injured, and missing
130 people.
After all, the 10th Army Command did not record the losses of the two engineer squadrons accompanying him except for recording the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 47th Infantry Regiment. But that's the case, the 1st Infantry Brigade had more than 500 casualties, and the so-called disappearance naturally fell into the river and drowned. The Jiafu River is not the small rivers on the island of the Black Hawk Empire. In such a cold late autumn, not to mention the rapid river water, even the body temperature dropped rapidly, it could kill people with good water.
The forward of the Sixth Division paid enough for his arrogance. A colonel captain was killed on the spot and brought hundreds of Black Hawk Empire warriors to accompany him to find the gods for tea.
