Chapter 299 Yunnan Baiyao
)
The quality of German soldiers is obviously much higher than that of Britain and France, which is also their capital to fight against the world with the power of a country. The storm-formation of German soldiers is not very dense, and the soldiers can cooperate with each other and attack is very purposeful.
Although the soldiers of the Chinese army were all new recruits, they had high morale and strong fighting will. After the shelling, they came to the position one by one, set up weapons such as machine guns and mortars, and prepared to deal with the German charge. In terms of machine gun use, China can be regarded as half of Germany's teacher, and is more skillful than Britain and France. China did not place heavy machine guns on the front, but adopted cross-arrangements to form a dense firepower network.
As soon as the German soldiers rushed up, they were shot up by dense machine gun bullets and could not lift their heads. Many soldiers were shot through their bodies. The battlefield was full of corpses. The German soldiers did not know that it was already the defense of the Chinese army, and they thought that the French army suddenly became enlightened.
However, such casualties did not stop the Germans. They were still relying on their skillful tactical actions to avoid shooting bullets while quickly approaching the position.
Many people from bandits in the Chinese army have long been used to life and death. Although the European War is even more crazy, they can maintain a calm mind. Some people even exert the instinct of sharpshooters. Every time they fire a shot, German soldiers will fall to the ground.
Bai Xiaoshan is such a sharpshooter. He joined the bandits when he was a teenager. He made his marksmanship among the bandits with amazing marksmanship and became a small leader. However, he was soon surrounded by the Sichuan Army and he was captured and became a laborer. The Sichuan-Han Railway, farmland and water conservancy, and the roads everywhere had his sweat. Just when Japan invaded Qingdao in 1914, Bai Xiaoshan was fortunate to be sent to Qingdao to assist the German army in fighting the Japanese.
During the Qingdao Battle, Bai Xiaoshan fully utilized his advantage in shooting skills. There were twenty-three Japanese people who died at his hands. Wu Fenglou quickly took a fancy to Bai Xiaoshan's ability and brought him to Sichuan again. After rigorous training, he became an excellent sharpshooter. This time when he went to the European battlefield, Bai Xiaoshan was able to stand up and have experienced many battles. Therefore, his extremely calm, shocking cannons, and deafening shouts could not affect him.
There were only a few German soldiers in his eyes. With a crisp sound, a German officer had a hole in his forehead, and his red brain was covered with the ground. He died instantly. Bai Xiaoshan used to fight side by side with the Germans, but now he shot at the Germans. It looked awkward, but Bai Xiaoshan didn't feel strange. In his eyes, both Japanese and Germans were foreigners.
As long as it is a foreigner, there is no good thing, so it should be killed. At this moment, a few bullets hit the trenches around Bai Xiaoshan. It was obvious that the Germans had discovered this sharpshooter. Bai Xiaoshan's body quickly rolled away, followed by two shots, and two more German soldiers were shot dead.
This is true on the entire front. Chinese soldiers used their bravery and wisdom to fight against Germany to the death. The ground was covered with German corpses. The huge casualties made the Germans extremely angry. They rushed to a place only one hundred meters away from the position despite the casualties.
At this time, everyone could see the other side clearly. When these Germans saw that the one who was fighting against them was not the French, but the Asians with black hair and black eyes, they immediately determined that this was the Japanese. Japan had long joined the Allies, and now it was definitely the Japanese who sent troops to Europe. In their impression, they did not believe that this was the Chinese army. Can the sick husband of East Asia still participate in the war?
Lu Jianzhang, Long Jiguang and Zhang Xiaohuai, who were in charge of the command, were all in the command center, very anxious. They knew very well that this was the first time that the Chinese army participated in such high-intensity operations. It was a problem whether they could withstand such a high-intensity battle. Any little bit of erratic movement in front could make them extremely nervous...
At this time, the fastest German troops charged at the moment were less than fifty meters away from China's position. Along the way, they rushed through layers of barbed wire and trenches. Now they could rush into the opponent's position with just working harder. France's blood was flowing, and they had to rely on the Japanese to replenish it. Victory was waving to Germany.
These German soldiers were rushing hard with excitement, but they were greeted by a dense grenade. The violent explosion brought out dust and smoke that blocked Germany's eyes. The shrapnel scattered, leaving terrifying wounds on their bodies. Countless German soldiers fell under the grenades.
Only a few German soldiers rushed to the front of the position. But they knew that these yellow soldiers were not afraid at all. They picked up bayonets, engineer shovels and other weapons and fought bravely with the German army. Although they were relatively short, their tactical cooperation was very appropriate. The three of them formed a combat team, some were responsible for attacking and some were responsible for defense, and multiple combat teams were able to cooperate with each other, just like a hedgehog. Even if the German soldiers were tall and big, they could not resist.
Soon, all these German soldiers were eliminated. It was at this time that the German soldiers suddenly realized that their opponent was not the Japanese, but the Chinese. They were once again shocked. When did the sick husband of East Asia have such combat power? Is God kidding the Germans?
However, when he saw the five-color flag flying over the position, the Germans finally believed that this tenacious army belonged to the Chinese. The first round of German offensive was easily resolved. The Chinese soldiers had no rest time and immediately treated their injured comrades, buried their bodies, strengthened the trenches, and transported ammunition.
At this time, Lu Jianzhang came to the front line regardless of the danger and kept encouraging the soldiers. In just one hour of confrontation with Germany, more than 300 people had died and no less than 500 were injured. Of course, they also killed nearly 1,000 German soldiers. Judging from the number of casualties, the Chinese army took a big advantage.
However, Lu Jianzhang knew very well that the real battle had just begun. After the German army knew that the Chinese army was not easy to mess with, it would definitely increase its attack efforts. Now the Chinese army must deal with it well.
Sure enough, not long after, the German artillery began to shoot the positions of the Chinese army again. This time the firepower was much more violent than the last time. To rely solely on the protection of the trenches, it could no longer completely offset the power of the German artillery, and the Chinese army's artillery also began to speak.
Chinese artillery was different from French artillery. The main cannon that Qiao Yu equipped the participating troops was a 155mm howitzer, not the Frenchman's proud Miss Seventh Five.
The French suffered heavy losses in World War I, which was definitely related to France's conservativeness. France generally equipped 75mm rapid-fire cannons. This cannon can shoot thirty shells per minute at its limit speed, far faster than other artillery of this era. Therefore, this cannon became a fantasy lover in the eyes of the French army.
However, it was this kind of artillery that made the French suffer in the war. Although the German artillery was not as good as the French fire rate, Germany took another path. They increased their caliber, increased their charges, and increased their range.
Therefore, during the war, the French Miss Seventh Five had not yet approached the German artillery, and the French army had frequently suffered defeat in front of the German artillery since the war began.
In fact, France is not without better weapons. For example, the 155mm howitzer produced by France to Sichuan is better than the Germans in performance. However, the French military firmly opposes the equipment of such better artillery, but insists on using Miss Seventh Five, so the French can only continue the tragedy...
The French are not stupid either. The reason why they insist on using Miss 75 is that the huge arms interest groups are obstructing it. However, China obviously will not make such a mistake. The heavy artillery equipped is enough to compete with the German artillery.
The Chinese artillerymen were loading wildly, as if machines were not tired and did not need to rest. During the bombardment, shells fell on the positions of the Chinese army from time to time, causing serious damage. However, these excellent soldiers did not care about death at all. As long as they were still alive, they would do their best to load and shoot.
In this battle between life and will, the Chinese army has never been at a disadvantage. In fact, the Chinese are not as cowardly as they seem. History has proved that the Chinese army can definitely fight with any strong soldiers as long as they have appropriate training, equipped with appropriate weapons, and relatively reasonable command. Now is no exception. The German army once again attacks China's positions under the cover of artillery fire.
However, like last time, the Chinese soldiers never gave in and fought back. They bombarded the guns and mortars in the distance, and there were grenades and bayonets in front of them. The Chinese army's tenacious fighting will shocked Germany. Faced with the rock-solid Chinese position, they could only end up hastily and began to concentrate the counterattack on the part of the defense of the French army.
The news that the Chinese army repelled the German offensive quickly spread throughout the French army, shocking the entire Allied Power. Fajole, the commander of the French Sixth Army, personally came to the field hospital to comfort the wounded Chinese soldiers. In the hospital, Fajole saw a scene that surprised him even more. It turned out that the wounded Chinese soldiers were applying the wound with a strange white powder. The wound quickly stopped bleeding and could relieve pain. Fajole was shocked to see this. You must know that the war is so cruel that a large number of wounds need to be treated every day. If you can handle simple wounds like the Chinese, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the field hospital.
The soldier who was still yelling just now was immediately full of energy again. This magical powder attracted Fayol's attention.
"Captain Lu, what exactly is the white powder your soldiers use? How can it have such a magical bleeding-resistance effect?"
"Mr. Commander, this drug is called Yunnan Baiyao. It was developed by Qu Huanzhang, a famous doctor in Yunnan Province, China. It can stop bleeding and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It is a rare holy medicine for healing! "
"What is the principle of this drug?"
"I don't know, I only know that this drug has amazing effect!" After hearing Lu Jianzhang's words, Fajole thought. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to () and reward. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
