Boom boom boom... The rebel artillery fire was also very violent. The cannonballs in the sky rubbed the air and made a rumbling sound like a train running. The fire kept flickering on and off, and explosions came and went!
Along with the sound of cannons, there were countless people shouting to kill, taking advantage of the night to rush towards the Jingwu Heroes Association.
Boom boom boom... The outside of the village was bombed into a mess. The rice in the paddy fields was thrown into the sky and then turned into a rain of mud and water falling from the sky.
A cannonball hit the wall of the Jingwu Heroes Association, and a one-meter gap was opened in the tall wall!
The heroes of the Guanwai Army and the Heroes Association looked for places to hide, but they discovered just after two rounds of artillery fire that these artillery looked scary, but their accuracy was really bad.
Dark night is not conducive to direct aim, and the rebels do not have professional artillery observation posts, and no one calculates ballistic trajectories. All artillery fires randomly based on experience.
But what experience can they have? The 88 Artillery, a brand new artillery piece customized by the Chinese and the highest standard of the Army, has only been available for two years.
The Chinese themselves don't dare to say that all their troops can be used skillfully. How can they expect to have any experience with the quality of these troops?
Just dream, in the entire round of shelling, only one shot hit the artillery position. One artillery was disabled and three soldiers were sacrificed, and there was no gain at all.
Many of the soldiers were injured, but they were all minor injuries from shrapnel. Only four or five unlucky ones had critical wounds from shells, and they were being rescued at the moment.
This casualty rate was just a tickle for the brutal, violent and belligerent Fourth Battalion outside the Pass. On the contrary, they burst into laughter when they saw their opponents were not hitting accurately.
"The local artillery position has been exposed... adjust the shooting elements... fire coverage... three consecutive shots... rapid fire..."
The Chinese artillery has already tried to form an independent army. A company of more than 100 people is equipped with 6 artillery pieces, and this time Xiang Lang took out all ten artillery pieces in the village.
This is almost the firepower output of two artillery companies and more than half an artillery battalion. It is already crushing firepower in the army of this era.
With 10 heavy cannons, ample ammunition, and protection from 3,000 infantrymen, backed by the sturdy and complex Jingwu Heroes Association, the performance of the God of War kicked off.
Boom boom boom... boom boom boom...
The outline of the Jingwu Heroes Association's building was reflected by the flames from the muzzle, flickering in and out like a bloodthirsty monster lying outside Tianjin.
With the measurement from the high tower lookout post, these ten cannons were so accurate that the rebel artillery position turned into a sea of flames in an instant.
The flames soaring into the sky, the air waves and shock waves of the explosion pushed mechanical parts and human corpses into the air and then smashed them down. The explosion of ammunition boxes triggered a chain reaction. The rebel artillery position could not even survive the first salvo.
At that moment, Zai Tu felt his heart stop. He watched his cannon sink into the sea of flames. A human-shaped torch struggled to rush out in the blazing flames, screaming hysterically.
Firemen rushed out one by one, struggling to find pools or sandy areas. Soldiers with good looks rushed forward and beat them with their clothes, but everything was in vain.
In this era, if you have a large burn, just wait for death. Without antibiotics, most people can't survive it. You might as well give him a shot and let him die happily, which will save him a little punishment!
"Oh my god...how...how could there be such an accurate bombardment...this is the middle of the night..."
War will not answer Zai Tu's confusion. What answers him is the continuous rumble of artillery. The observation posts constantly modify and shoot at Zhu Yuan, and the artillery shells are like eyes, exploding wherever there are many people.
The Ronglu tribe that rushed up in the first wave suffered a disaster. The Ronglu people were all stunned by the explosion. He lay on the ground and heard explosions circling around him.
The broken arms and limbs fell down with a crackle, and the broken hands and feet hit him on the head!
The screams of the dying soldiers were shocking, and the morale of the army collapsed again and again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"You can't be beaten like this... charge... charge... rush to the front and fight hand-to-hand..." Ronglu himself could already hear his own cry.
These rebels have been fighting for a while, and they have some experience at least in saving their lives. Behind them is Zai Tu's supervising team. If they retreat, they will definitely die.
And staying in the middle of the battlefield will only allow the enemy's artillery to continuously bombard you, so the only option is to rush forward!
"Kill... kill... those who want to live, just run forward... those who stay will be bombed in vain..."
A group of headless soldiers rushed forward in a black mass, trying to distance themselves during the charge. They also knew that the cannon was really powerful, and if there were too many people gathered together, they would definitely be bombed!
But they underestimated the defensive layout of the Jingwu Heroes Association. Tianjin Wei was surrounded by dense rivers. There had been a tradition of planting rice since the Qing Dynasty. There was also a very famous rice variety called Xiaozhan rice.
Under the guise that both the head of state and the Far Eastern King like to eat this kind of rice, the Jingwu Heroes will buy the surrounding farmland and then share it with the surrounding farmers for planting.
Only rice is allowed to be grown and no other crops are allowed. In fact, this is all a cover-up. What Xiang Lang wants is dense paddy fields and dense water networks to block the charge of enemy infantry.
The effect was really great. These rebels never expected that the canals that diverted water to the rice fields were waist deep.
The soldier jumped down with a splash, and his legs were directly sunk into the mud. Some soldiers who were blind and unable to swim were choked by the mud and water, fainted, fell down in the ditch, and drowned alive.
More soldiers struggled to cross the river. After climbing to the shore, their entire lower bodies were covered with water and wet mud.
They stumbled forward, but within two steps they heard constant screams from the crowd, and the flat barbed wire in the paddy field pierced the soles of their feet!
The troops were reduced along the way, with more and more barbed wire fences and ditches one after another. These soldiers had not yet died in the battle, and they were probably almost dead from exhaustion.
It was too difficult to walk through the paddy fields, and many soldiers began to crowd onto the main road, but this place had long been blocked by the Guanwai Army, and heavy machine guns with crossfire began to harvest people's heads.
Ta da da...ta da da...
Tongues of fire danced in the darkness, and groups of rebels were swept to the ground like wheat!
"Fuck! Can't this shabby village be defeated? Damn it... I don't believe it. My 30,000-strong army can't conquer this tiny place!"
Zai Tu could never imagine how difficult it would be to defeat a solid fortification with the support of modern firepower!
The trench warfare during World War I, the Maginot Line during World War II, and the Dutch fortresses were all tough elements that heavy troops had to go around.
In the trench warfare during World War I, tens of millions of people died and neither side gained much, let alone the Japanese Six Rebels at this moment!
"Isiha... you lead people to kill from the west... you have to bite them down for me no matter the cost!"
"Hey! The army that takes the blame goes forward... and kills!"
