Six Eight Seven Raid (Part 2)
Pang Yu was always paying careful attention to the battle situation. He felt that his plan to stand firm and wait for help seemed unlikely to be realized. [As the distance shortened, the number of casualties on both sides increased sharply. In terms of comparison alone, his side definitely had the advantage.
Yes, but the opponent's huge advantage in numbers makes up for this.
The Houjin raiders who emerged from the woods were already over fifty, exceeding the scale of any previous sneak attack. It seemed that the latent ability of the Houjin soldiers had been underestimated before. Pang Yu once considered whether to go back
Of course, the thought of giving a good meal to the third battalion commander Xu Lei, who was responsible for observing the enemy's situation and patrolling sentries, was only a fleeting thought. The top priority right now was that he could return alive.
In terms of straight line distance, this place is not too far from the other end of the camp, and the sound and noise must have reached there long ago. Reinforcements should have been dispatched by now, but it is not easy to get here in time. As the saying goes, "Run to the mountains"
"Dead horse", this side of Lushunkou is full of unexplored and complex terrain. The two mountains are facing each other and can be heard from each other. But if you really want to get to the end of the field, it is easy to take a detour up and down.
It took Pang Yu and the others nearly an hour to arrive just now. Even if the reinforcements went at their fastest speed, they might not be able to arrive in less than ten or twenty minutes.
These ten fatal minutes! In normal times, it was just a matter of time to smoke a cigarette, but at this moment, it was a matter of life and death... Ever since he traveled through time and space and came to the Ming Dynasty, Pang Yu had never felt that death was so far away from him.
So close. Looking at the ferocious looks of those Hou Jin soldiers, Pang Yu probably didn't even expect to surrender. These people knew that it was impossible to escape with a prisoner, and a single head was obviously much lighter.
All kinds of thoughts came to his mind for a while, but in the end, what woke him up from his confusion was a high-pitched cry:
"Jiong Haijun! Fix the bayonet!"
It was the shout of the guard captain. Although this young man's performance today was not perfect, it at least reached the level that a Qiong Navy man should have: as the guard captain, he has been doing his best to protect Pang Yu.
, even if he had no confidence in the battle situation, he still stayed firmly in place. As a mid- to low-level officer, the instructions he issued at this time were in line with the requirements of the Qiong Navy's military regulations: when the enemy approaches to a certain extent,
Be prepared to fight with bayonets and engage in hand-to-hand combat!
It stands to reason that the Qiong Navy, which uses firearms as its main means of killing, has its greatest advantage in long-range shooting. In actual combat, it should try to maintain this advantage until the end. However, the group of people who originally set the military regulations of the Qiong Navy
Including Tang Jian, Bei Wei and others, they never believed that their own army should be naturally afraid of close combat. In Qiong Haijun's daily training, the amount of training in bayonet fighting is almost as much as that of shooting, if not more. After all,
The wooden sticks and protective gear used for training fighting skills can be used repeatedly, but those used for shooting training are all expendable.
According to the military regulations of the Qiong Navy, soldiers are not allowed to wait for the enemy to rush in front of them before preparing for hand-to-hand combat. Instead, when the enemy approaches a certain distance, they must mount their bayonets and launch a counterattack. This military regulation was originally formulated
Someone raised objections at that time, saying that the last few dozen meters are precisely the moment when the shooting accuracy is highest. It would be a bit too hasty to actively give up the advantage of this distance and enter the hand-to-hand combat stage in advance where one's own side does not have the advantage.
You must know that once you enter the final hand-to-hand combat, it is like playing stud on the card table. The winner is determined by one hand. Based on the ratio and cruelty of hand-to-hand combat, even with the equipment, morale and training level of the Qiong Navy, compared with the cold weapon armies of this era
It may not necessarily prevail.
But in the end, the military team collectively discussed and retained this military rule, because Tang Jian and others felt that bayonet battles with others could be avoided as much as possible in actual combat, but their own troops must not be afraid of close combat. Close combat
Physical combat is part of the Qiong Navy's tactics, and this must be reflected in the army's combat regulations.
In all the subsequent battles, the enemy was rarely brought close to such a close range. Several bayonet charges were given by the commander here on his own initiative, gaining the upper hand in the early exchanges. The final charge was only for the sake of
Completely destroy the enemy's confidence and force the opponent to enter the stage of defeat.
But those were regular battles. You could spot the enemy from a long distance, and you could use firepower to ravage your opponent from a long distance. But like now, the opponent's morale has not been lost, and when he is still trying to get closer, he takes the initiative.
Is it appropriate to charge forward with a bayonet?
This is stipulated in the doctrine, but Pang Yu, as one of the makers of military doctrine of the Qiong Navy, also knows that this doctrine is not perfect. It is only a summary of past experience and requires continuous revision in practice. In this situation,
It is a new situation that has not been encountered before. If it is implemented according to the original regulations, it may have the opposite effect.
With his status, if he shouted at this moment, he could revoke the guard captain's order and ask everyone to continue to lie there and shoot at the enemy. It might be a better strategy. But Pang Yu gave up this idea after just a slight hesitation.
Action must be taken at the critical moment. Even if it turns out to be a wrong action later, it is better than doing nothing! This point has been repeatedly emphasized in Qiong Haijun's daily training. Of course, this action is not meant to be reckless. Past experience can
It's best to have a reference, but if you don't have one, when you encounter a new situation and you don't know what to do, just follow the military regulations. This is the fundamental purpose of Qiong Haijun's formulation of military regulations.
There was nothing wrong with the guard captain issuing the charge order in accordance with the order at this time. If he used his authority to forcibly revoke his order at this time, the effect would only be worse. So Pang Yu didn't say a word after hearing the order.
After adjusting his clothes, Mao stood up and prepared to rush with him.
"Chief of Staff, we go first, you follow."
The guard captain also knew that once he rushed out, no one would be able to care about anyone else. It might not be safe to ask Pang Yu to hide in the rear. It would be more reliable to charge with his own team. Pang Yu nodded silently, put aside all distracting thoughts, and
Treat him like an ordinary soldier.
"Jiong Haijun! Charge!"
Following the guard captain's order, a series of rumbling explosions sounded first. According to Qiong Haijun's order, the first action of charging is to throw! The so-called "charge distance" is the bombing distance. Basically, it is within three seconds.
About fifty meters, depending on the soldier's own on-the-spot judgment.
As the most powerful weapon that an individual soldier can use, its lethality and deterrence far exceed the imagination of any soldier or martial artist in this era. It is probably only comparable to the legendary sky thunder. For those who come from barbaric and remote places
This is especially true for Hou Jin Bing.
Although Xiao Lang had used it in the previous battle, not many people from the Houjin side escaped in that battle, and most of those who survived were from Kong Youde's Han flag troops. Therefore, for the group in front of me, I don't know which corner they came from.
For the Jurchen barbarian soldiers, it was still a new weapon that they had never seen or heard of. However, because Qiong Haijun was so famous, the opponent had already been mentally prepared. However, it was definitely beyond their imagination.
So this "rumbling" passed, and the results achieved suddenly surpassed all the previous ones. All areas that had been swept away, that is, within about 30 to 50 meters in front of Qiong Haijun's position, became clean in an instant.
Just like in the past, the warriors who dare to rush to the front always die the fastest. In Qiong Haijun's war mode, people are just consumed, no matter how brave and good at fighting they are.
When the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, you could see that there were not many Houjin soldiers left standing on the opposite side. After all, the number of people who could hold them to death was limited, and they still adhered to the tradition of forming as dense a formation as possible in the cold weapon era.
He had the advantage in hand-to-hand combat, but in front of the steel prefabricated fragments sprayed by the power of gunpowder, he was just a pile of rotten flesh.
The remaining people were also a little startled, but they were veterans and elites after all. When they discovered that the green-skinned soldiers on the opposite side were actually charging toward us with their thorns raised, they immediately resumed their instincts as warriors and remained silent.
, raised the weapon and faced the opponent.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of the last volley fired from the platoon was heard on the battlefield. The soldiers of Qiong Navy, who were about to face the enemy, shot out their guns. They were not very particular about not firing with bayonets. This time, it was almost a face-to-face kill. In an instant, the enemy's number was reduced.
It was reduced by nearly half, but they themselves also suffered the heaviest casualties since the war began. Those Houjin soldiers were not weak. They grasped the fighter planes extremely accurately. Almost at the same time as they started shooting here, the other side also threw their spares.
Although the hit rate of swords and axes cannot be compared due to distance and throwing level issues, these iron guys whizzing past in the sky still chopped up several people.
So now, there are less than ten people in the escort team around Pang Yu, but there are almost only this number left on the opposite side. Until now, after a brutal battle, the numerical gap and weapon gap between the two sides have been evened out. Now, it is decided
The only thing that determines victory or defeat between the two sides is courage, will, and the ability to fight in close combat.
There were no roars, growls, or other unnecessary sounds as Pang Yu imagined. Both sides were silent and just collided head-on. Only when they were inserted into the body, or were slashed by a sword or axe, would it happen.
One or two short and sharp shouts were made, and those were often the last sounds a warrior made.
This battle was very short, probably only a few minutes. Pang Yu recalled the details of this battle many times afterwards, but he could not remember much because he was completely unfocused at the time and was only concentrating on controlling the weapon in his hand.
Try to fire at those guys with money rattails, and be careful not to accidentally injure your own people. Once a person becomes nervous, he can't feel the passage of time, and it's difficult to pay attention to other aspects. Even until he is suddenly pushed
When he staggered, he noticed that the guard captain had rushed in front of him at some point and blocked a fatal arrow for him!
"...Chief of Staff, hold on!"
These were the last words of the guard captain, but Pang Yu didn't even have time to respond to him at that time. He just kept shooting towards the target until he killed the guy who attacked him. In this battle, Pang Yu finally
My deep understanding is that the damage to the human body is far greater than imagined. Those heroes in previous movies and TV shows who were still alive and kicking after being hit for several times were all lies. Even if he used to fight, the opponent's golden soldiers are so powerful.
With his physique, he would basically lose mobility even if he took a hit, as long as he could hit the torso.
In the extremely tense actual battle, Pang Yu's shooting skills improved rapidly. In the past, it always took three or four to hit, but now it's basically two. After the guy holding the bow and arrow fell down, clutching his stomach, Pang Yu had time to pay attention.
He looked around for a moment, and then, he was shocked to find that there was no one around him! All the guards had fallen, and he was the only one left!
Fortunately, there were not many Jin soldiers standing upright on the opposite side. Pang Yu could only see two people in his field of vision. He quickly pulled the trigger several times and knocked over one, and then turned around and aimed at the other one.
The guy was rushing towards him crazily with red eyes.
"Ka...ka...ka..."
At the critical moment, the weapon in his hand actually stopped firing! A lot of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Pang Yu's head. He was counting down, there should be more in it, it was jammed!
His embarrassment was immediately noticed by the rear Jin Bing. This guy was very perceptive. Although he didn't understand the operating principle, he could immediately tell that the fatal weapon in the short-haired hand in front of him had failed! The guy immediately laughed ferociously.
He got up, actually slowed down, and gradually approached Pang Yu at an unhurried pace, with a look of pride in his eyes like a cat playing with a mouse.
However, this kind of pride only lasted for a short time. The next moment, the man's expression changed drastically because Pang Yu casually dropped the jammed May Fourth, opened his clothes, and took out another one from his waist.
!
"Idiot, do you think I would only take a handful with me when I go out in a place like this?"
While Pang Yu was scolding the opponent, his hand movements were not slow at all. He had firmly remembered the lesson of "no waves in the wind". In the continuous sound of "bang bang bang", he moved the last Hou Jin in the field.
The soldier also fell to the ground. Looking around blankly, he saw a number of shadowy green figures running crazily in the woods not far away, to relieve the banquet for the familiar big man?
