Chapter 806
The emergence of firearms has changed the form of warfare that has lasted for thousands of years. Formations such as the wild goose wing formation, the arrow formation, etc. have all been abandoned. Even the invincible heavy cavalry can now only take off their armor and ride horses with rifles.
Combat.
The history of war is stubbornly developing on its original track, and it will be a matter of time before the cavalry completely withdraws from the stage.
Facts have proved that there are no fools in the face of the test of life and death, and sneak attack operations have become increasingly difficult. The trenches have been dug deeper and deeper, and the fortifications have become stronger and stronger.
Especially the combination of machine guns and barbed wire makes attacking strong positions a nightmare for any soldier.
"Charge!" Artillery shells fell on the enemy's position one after another, especially the rocket launchers, which dragged long tail flames, piercing the dawn sky and hitting the enemy's position. The explosions one after another made people feel that the ground under their feet was constantly shaking.
The bombardment lasted for half an hour, with rocket launchers covering the area and howitzers firing accurately. Anyway, the position opposite had withstood the baptism of iron and fire. According to Li Hu's feeling, there should be no more living people in the position opposite.
There was no trace of the barbed wire fence observed before the war. There were only a few half-length wooden stakes with a few wires wrapped around them. Those wires were bent like cat whiskers burned by fire, and their edges were constantly swinging with the explosion of artillery shells.
Following Li Hu's order, more than 5,000 Tamils jumped out of the trenches with guns in hand. They roared and rushed towards the enemy positions. Since landing, they have been like a wedge, driving deeply into the Indian subcontinent.
Their target was Bombay, and the noble Ming commander promised that as long as they captured Bombay, they would be allowed to rob it for three days.
I have heard of the affluence in Mumbai before. People there eat three meals a day. There are many women wearing gold and silver, with tall breasts and big butts. If you take one home, you will not only have food and clothing, but also wash your feet.
The mother-in-law of rice. Anyway, Mumbai is a place where rich people gather. As long as you grab a few, you will be prosperous in your life.
Full of simple ideals of robbing money, food, and women, countless strong Tamil youths picked up rifles with bayonets in their hands, carried fifty rounds of ammunition and two grenades in their waists, and jumped out of the trenches with a cry.
The shouts of countless people gathered together to form a roar like a dragon's roar. The crowd roared like a wave and rushed towards the Indian position.
There was a commotion on the Indian position, and many Indians could be seen running in the trenches. The officers issued short and urgent orders. The sound was so loud that they could be heard clearly from two hundred meters away!
As they got closer, the Indians actually only fired sporadic mortars. The mortars knocked down some people, but more people continued to run over the bodies of the people in front. A Gurkha head is worth a lot of money.
Three Ming Dynasty silver coins. This money is enough for a family of five to spend half a year in Colombo!
Although there is no ancient saying that people die for money and birds die for food, the Tamil people have their own proverb - money can burn one's courage.
Encouraged by money, the Tamil Youth Army felt like a burning torch.
Li Hu looked through the telescope and estimated the remaining charge distance. Those Tamils ran very fast, so fast that even Li Hu was a little surprised. In only about a minute, they were already only a hundred meters away from the Indian position.
Yumi.
"Work harder!" The Indians' counterattack was very weak, even insignificant. The mortar shells were scattered scattered, like a few small waves in the huge waves, and disappeared as soon as they flashed. Although they were killed
There are a few people, but they don’t have much hindrance to the overall situation.
The rifles were even sparsely placed. It is estimated that few Indian soldiers had the courage to continue shooting. What awaited them was a unilateral massacre by the Tamils after they rushed to the position. This is what the Tamils did when they landed.
It can also be regarded as the sequelae of Li Hu's head bounty.
Those Tamils held a flag with a picture of a tiger, declaring that they were as brave and invincible as the Tamil tigers.
Tigers are indeed brave, but sometimes they can be scumbags. When the Tamils stepped into the Indian army's position a hundred or ten meters away, whistles suddenly sounded one after another from the Indian position.
Li Hu's heart dropped when he heard the whistle. Although he didn't know what would happen next, an ominous premonition had filled his whole body.
"Da da da...!" Many light spots suddenly appeared in the trenches of the Indian army. The Tamils who had been charging just now were smashed into pieces as if a wave had hit a dam. People fell in pieces like wheat.
On the ground, people can't believe this is true.
"Heavy machine gun, how do they have such a weapon?" Li Hu wailed in despair.
No one answered him. Everyone looked towards the battlefield. The command post was eerily quiet.
"Ta-ta-ta...! Ta-ta-ta...!" The sounds of the heavy machine guns merged into one, and finally formed a sound similar to the wind. The bullets rained down on the body of the Tamil Youth Army, and every time a handful of bullets were hit,
Blood splashed. Every time it was hit, a life ended.
"Add artillery, fire howitzers for me. Cannons, keep an eye on the enemy's machine guns and fire them for me." Li Hu's voice roared inside the command post, and several messengers immediately rushed out. At this time, they were still leaving.
It would be safer for Mr. Hu to stay away.
The artillery was not as fast as expected, but the machine guns continued to harvest lives. The Tamil youth army lying on the ground was surprised to find that bullets could actually fall from the sky.
This will cost you your life. Even if you lie down in the crater, even if you hide behind the rocks, you will not run away. The enemy's gun muzzle was only raised two inches, and the poor Tamils were hit.
It was a devastating disaster. Bullets fell on them like rain, leaving a bloody hole with each hit.
The Tamil youth army screamed and rolled, but it was all to no avail. Li Hu's eyes were almost split open, and he could only watch helplessly as his men were slaughtered.
After the machine guns rang out for a while, the Indian army's position once again died down. It was as calm as if nothing had happened, but the front of their position was already covered with corpses.
"Damn it!" Li Hu cursed. He could see clearly through the telescope. Not many people survived this charge. After five minutes of machine gun fire, there were almost no survivors on the battlefield.
The commander of the Indian army was very calm and did not give the order to fire until the Tamil Youth Army rushed to a place of 100 meters. At this distance, the artillery did not dare to fire for fear of blowing up their own people. The Indians used the short distance
In just a few minutes, thousands of Tamils were killed. The density of firepower was truly staggering.
"Charge again, fucking charge again! The rocket launchers cover the shooting cover, and the howitzers are responsible for cleaning up the machine gun fire points just now. I push the cannons up, and whenever there is a machine gun fire point, I will blow it up." Li Hu was like
Gamblers who lose their bets must continue to raise bets if they want to get their money back.
"Master Tiger! I am afraid that the machine guns used by the Indian army just now are more than fifty. Should we charge like this...!" The lives of Tamil people are not counted as lives, but they cannot be used as firewood. People are worthless, and the equipment is worthless.
It was still worth two cents. Zhang Mazi had the courage to remind him because he had followed Li Hu for many years.
"Does a machine gun shoot farther or an artillery gun? The older you live, the more you go back!" Li Hu rolled his eyes at Zhang Mazi unhappily.
"But...!" Zhang Mazi swallowed the following words into his stomach. The artillery fire was accurate, but the Indians also have artillery. If nothing else, the heavy cannon can survive with a covering shot from the rocket launcher.
How many doors?
Li Hu's eyes were already red. At this time, no one dared to directly give advice to Lord Tiger. Lord Tiger is Lord Tiger, and he will eat people when he is anxious.
"Master Tiger! How many people will be involved in the second round of charge?" I don't dare to ask other questions, but I still have to ask about the number of people dispatched.
"Three regiments, three regiments are dispatched this time. No matter what, I have to take over the Indian position. They don't have many machine guns. If fifty of them are destroyed in this battle, they will be destroyed in the next battle."
It will be much easier to fight.”
"Three...!" the staff officer repeated in surprise. Seeing Li Hu looking over, he hurried out to convey the order.
There are nearly 10,000 people in the three regiments. This time, Tiger Tiger is planning to use the human sea tactic. But will this human sea tactic be effective against the Indian machine guns?
The poor Tamils were led into the starting position under the scorching sun. When the officers saw the scene of corpses strewn on the battlefield, they suddenly took a breath. But when they saw the muzzles of the supervising team behind them, this shot
The cold air quickly turned into hot air and was sprayed out.
If you dare to run away at this time, you will lose your ability to breathe.
The three regiments, all fully equipped, began to attack under the sound of whistles one after another. Although they had trained for several months, the tactical training was very little. Most of them were individual training and physical training. The big soldiers knew what tactics they had.
As soon as the whistle blows here, you start running. If you rush into the enemy's position, you win!
As for the officers of the Tamil Youth Army...! Most of them were temporarily designated or selected by the soldiers. Li Hu did not have the time and energy to send them to military schools to study.
Li Hu's concept is that war is the best teacher. Those who survive are those who can fight. Those who cannot fight will have been shot and died. There is no need to set up a military academy. The battle will naturally lead to the survival of the fittest.
As long as they survive, they will become more and more able to fight in the future.
What's more important is that no one in the Ming army regards the Tamils as human beings. Some officers even think that they are just more civilized monkeys, and who cares about the life and death of the monkeys. If there is a war, these monkeys will rush forward and act as a death squad or something.
Just learn some woolen tactics.
This time, the Tamils were in a worse situation. As soon as they got out of the trench and barely charged a few steps, a large cloud of smoke rose up from behind the Indian army, and above the smoke, countless tail flames streaked through the air.
Li Hu's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, but now it was too late to say anything. Heavy rockets smashed into the charging crowd one after another. You could see that the living people were turned into pieces in an instant, and
You can see people being lifted into the air by the air waves and dancing around.
The cannon that had just been pushed up and ready to fire the machine gun was immediately enveloped in thick smoke.
It’s not that the Indians don’t have cannons, they have endured until now before firing. The reason is to knock out the Ming army’s cannons. Because this kind of direct-aiming artillery poses the greatest threat to machine guns.
The artillery fire split the entire charge formation. The more than 3,000 people who rushed out first saw that the position behind them turned into a sea of fire. Now there was no other way but to rush forward to find a way to go.
Just when they rushed to the front more than 200 meters away from the Indian army's position, "Da da da...!" "Ta da da...!" The heavy machine gun rang again, with a sound like exploding beans and bullets coming towards them.
.
Li Hu was so angry that his head was smoking but there was nothing he could do!
Holding the binoculars and looking at the tragic scene inside, Li Hu couldn't believe his eyes. The 30,000 Tamils he had finally trained had lost seven or eight in one day. The front of the position was covered with pavements.
The corpses were piled one on top of another, and the soil was full of blood. As long as people walked up, blood would be squeezed out.
No one dared to walk over, and the artillerymen on both sides stared at all human-shaped objects. As long as there was a human-shaped object dangling in front of the position, artillery shells would roar towards it. Then the moving object would be submerged in the smoke.
A cannonball exploded, and a body was thrown high by the air wave. Just as it fell, it was still thrown up by the airwave set off by another cannonball. Countless metal shrapnel cut into the body. Through the telescope, Li Hu looked at the body.
The corpse was fragmented and eventually turned into countless small, unrelated pieces, scattered among a large mass of corpses.
The complete corpse was blown into pieces, and the fragments turned into small pieces. The small pieces of corpses turned into meat paste, and the crows stepped on the meat paste and pecked at the large pieces of minced meat. With every step, there would be
Claw marks are clearly imprinted.
Li Hu stared with blood-red eyes, looking at everything on the battlefield but unable to do anything. The howitzers were used, and the rocket launchers were also used. The fired shell casings piled up into a mountain, and the barbed wire fence was torn into pieces at the first opportunity.
.
But when the soldiers charge, those damn machine guns will still fire. The charging soldiers are harvested like leeks.
From morning to night, half a year's hard work came to nothing. Li Hu's heart was bleeding, but he was still thankful. Yuan Chonghuan only promised to provide an artillery regiment to provide Li Hu with artillery support.
If the Second Division suffered losses of this level, Li Hu felt that his eldest brother Li Xiao would tear him alive. Li Xiao had always been like this, he would not get angry no matter how many foreign soldiers died, but if the Liao Army of the Ming Dynasty suffered losses, then Li Xiao's
The temper will become very violent.
No wonder the landing operation went so smoothly. It turned out that damn Wu Sangui was waiting for him here. After this battle, Li Hu almost became the polished commander.
ps: Yesterday, my brain was short-circuited and I copied an extra paragraph. This is an extremely serious mistake. Lao Long sincerely apologizes to all book friends and hopes that everyone will give me a chance to change my ways. I think I can still save that wave.
