Every armored Han soldier is wearing heavy armor, with an iron plate on his chest, and the protection ability of his torso is not much inferior to the same type of equipment of the Ming army.
The fly in the ointment is that this kind of armor can only withstand bullets at long distances. If you rush to the distance where you are ready to start a hand-to-hand combat, you will still be penetrated by the bullets fired by the Ming army.
It's not that it can't be thickened, but the increased weight can indeed be defended, but it can't stop the iron beads erupted from flying grenades, and it also slows down the soldiers' charging speed, which defeats the original intention.
Another point is that the Qing army did not expect that the barbarian opposite had a musket that could fire continuously, which was more terrifying than a revolver.
Not only is the firepower extremely fast, a single musket can knock down several Qing soldiers, and the speed of reloading is much faster than that of a revolver. It only takes a few seconds to complete.
The tanks that covered the infantry charge were at a complete disadvantage against the Ming tanks, just like the infantry. There was no possibility of a comeback.
The fourth-generation fuel tank equipped by the Ming Army is the same as the third-generation steam tank. It is equipped with a 65mm breech gun, which means that the tank is replaced without changing the gun, because the performance of the tank gun is already good enough.
Although it is a smoothbore gun rather than a rifled gun, its accuracy is still very guaranteed when shooting at close targets within two to three hundred meters.
The biggest advantage of the breech-loading gun is that, like the Franco machine, the loading speed is very fast, and the maximum firing rate can reach twelve to fifteen rounds per minute.
In comparison, the small Folang machine equipped on the Qing army's tanks is not enough to see. Not to mention the slow shooting range, the accuracy is far inferior to the Ming army's tank gun.
Before they could reach within a hundred meters, more than twenty tanks were destroyed one after another and turned into a burning bonfire or a pile of wood residue scattered on the ground.
After the tank gun took down the opponent's tank, it was equipped with grenades containing a large number of iron beads, and began to bombard the prey that rushed over to die without restraint.
And above the ground troops fighting, the "Black Hawk" armed helicopter encountered a golden opportunity.
The dog tartars rushed out of the position in batches, like a group of stupid pigs, exposed in the open space.
This is the best time for the armed helicopter to take action, and the two machine guns begin to quickly harvest the prey.
Since there was no need to establish a field airfield, the Army Aviation Battalion advanced directly with the armored forces.
The airport is very close to the front line. As long as there is no mechanical failure, the time to reload and reenter the battlefield will not exceed one hour each time.
"Damn it! Keep charging! We must rush these damn barbarians into the river!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bei Henuo immediately added three more troops, including infantry and cavalry.
Such a small number of dog barbarians are so powerful. Once the number of dog barbarians landing reaches thousands, can he still hold the line of defense?
The three Jia La were all in a state of dissatisfaction after being bombed. Fortunately, the total number of people was more than 3,500.
Bei Henuo didn't care too much. As long as the gap could be blocked, whether it was cavalry or infantry, he would fill it in first.
"Ula!"
"Kill all the barbarians!"
"Come on!"
This also includes a group of Rakshasa people. They were all afraid of being captured by Man Ming for mining, so they had no choice but to flee to the Qing Dynasty.
Now that he has put on the uniform of the Qing army, he is going to fight for the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, the opposite side is the damn Ming army, and the Rakshasa soldiers hate it.
Bei Henuo had twenty Jia La and about 30,000 Rakshasa soldiers in his hands. Emperor Baocheng was very worried about this army.
Let it attack the barbarians in the west, for fear of defecting before the battle, so it has been kept on the mainland to deal with the barbarians.
Now it is being used in the right place, and it is not in vain to feed these slaves who can eat and drink.
To attack Goumanzi, there is no need to mobilize the Rakshasa soldiers before the war.
However, in order to motivate his men, Bei Henuo still had people announce in public that for every dog barbarian killed, they would receive ten silver coins.
Killing three will reward you with fifty silver coins, killing five will reward you with a beautiful woman, and killing seven, a soldier will be promoted to an officer.
On the Ming army's side, there was only one company of troops that had just landed ashore, which was considered a legitimate commando.
By the time the first round of attack by the Dog Tatars was repelled, the number of troops ashore had reached one battalion.
Tanks continued to drive far up the west bank of the Dnieper River to expand the available area of the landing site.
Those who landed in the early stage were tanks, not armored vehicles, because the former's main gun could destroy the Dog Tatars' tanks.
The weapons on the armored vehicle are two machine guns, which can be used against infantry. For now, we have to wait behind them for a while.
Nearly fifty tanks came ashore, and as time went by, the number continued to increase.
Bei Henuo was fighting when the Ming army was not yet firmly established, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.
As soon as the signal flare was fired, the Qing army with three armored troops launched a new round of attack under the cover of hundreds of tanks.
Coincidentally, the Qing army invested three times as many troops as before, and the situation on the Ming army was almost the same.
It's just that there aren't that many submachine guns, and we can't support more than 300 people with one each.
However, tanks are equipped with machine guns. If used in conjunction with tank guns, they can completely cover the infantry to defend the landing site.
The artillery positions of the Qing army in the hinterland were manned by "Albatross" fighter jets. As long as they saw smoke, the fleet would rush over and beat up the prey on the ground.
Two hours after the battle began, most of the direct-aiming artillery exposed in the open space had been eliminated, except for occasional mortars launching sneak attacks in corners.
The banks of the Dnieper River were first swept by armed helicopters. After finishing, they went back to reload, and then the fighter units came down to continue the second sweep.
Although Bei Henuo could not be said to be good at fighting, he could still discern the situation on the battlefield and only ordered his troops to launch a counterattack when he caught the evil thing with horns on its head and returned it.
However, I didn't expect that a batch of flying evil objects had just left, and another batch came down from high altitude, and the number was larger. The other party would not be pretentious, and would just shoot them without saying a word.
One or two is fine, but if there are ten or twenty, it will make the Qing army very uncomfortable.
Forty or fifty people came together, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were lying on the ground waiting to die.
Under the stranglehold of cross-fire from the air and the ground, the more than 3,500 Qing troops lost about one-third of their troops halfway through.
The rest were also a little dazed by this unexpected enemy, and they were all in a daze.
The Qing army also had more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns hidden in buildings, which could occasionally exert their combat effectiveness.
The reason for "occasionally" is that these anti-aircraft guns only dare to fire after the target flies away from their location.
Otherwise, once the other party sees it, it will never return without destroying itself.
If one fails, use several together until the anti-aircraft gun is destroyed.
Bei Henuo was beating his chest when he saw this. If he had known this, he should have manufactured a large number of Folang machines that could be used to fire in the air.
In fact, it was not that Emperor Baocheng had no foresight, and it was not that he had not given some anti-aircraft guns to his fourth brother Yinzhen's troops.
However, because the defense area that Yinzhen was responsible for was too large, even though he was equipped with more than 3,000 anti-aircraft guns.
Facing an army of flying evil things that were almost as numerous as swarms, the air defense firepower per unit area was far from enough.
Usually one anti-aircraft gun has to deal with several fighter jets, not counting the bombers that fly overhead every day.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the "Hercules" bomber formation flew over the battlefield again and carried out the second carpet bombing.
This explosion left Bei and Nuolian's reserve team completely gone, damned and undead, basically no one survived...
The bomber formation has to fly back to its base in Daming before dark, but there is no need to worry about getting lost.
As long as the heading north is correct, then before the formation flies to the border, you can see a plume of smoke rising every twenty miles.
There are soldiers guarding the bottom of the thick smoke, and numbers are used to mark the cluster in the open space. The airport is at a fixed number.
After the formation descends, as long as you see the numbers below clearly, you will know where you are, and you will be able to find the airport and land by flying along the Yanzhu.
In fact, the Dnieper River is not far from Kursk. No matter how slowly the "Hercules" bomber flies, it will definitely be able to return smoothly before dark.
After dark, bonfire numbers will appear on the ground to facilitate bomber pilots' identification, but the success rate of landing at night will drop significantly...
The appearance of these giant evil creatures made Bei Henuo's counterattack very difficult. Even he himself was afraid of being directly blown to death.
Due to the sudden appearance of the bombing, the second counterattack became chaotic, and many people were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
It's no wonder that no one has ever seen such a large flying evil thing, let alone so many appearing at once.
Under the shadow of the evil thing, whether it was a tank or a building, they were all blown to pieces.
Even anti-aircraft guns are unable to openly confront such a terrifying evil thing.
Many people already vaguely felt that this time they could no longer stop the dog barbarian from continuing southward or even crossing the river.
But no one knew what to do next, whether to continue to resist or to surrender.
The only thing that cannot be accepted is to be captured by the barbarian and go mining. Then we might as well run west together!
After continuing to charge and losing thousands of people, the counterattack force of these three Jia La was also beaten and turned around and fled.
There was no way, the opponent's firepower was very fierce, and the bullets rained down on him, almost to the point of airtightness.
Even if the breastplate can block bullets, the limbs and head are very vulnerable parts.
Once hit, even if you don't die, you will become a wounded soldier on the battlefield.
By then, as long as the legs cannot move normally, they will have no choice but to lie there and wait to die.
The disadvantages of heavy armor are revealed at this time. Unless two people are dragging them together or letting the wounded soldier take off his armor, a single person is generally unable to save his injured companion.
Less than 200 Qing soldiers were actually directly killed by the Ming army. Most of them fell to the ground due to injuries and were automatically abandoned by everyone.
The fate of these people is foreseeable. The Ming army does not need injured prey except for high-value targets.
It would cost a lot of money to treat them, and you might even save a white-eyed wolf that bites you...
Beihe Nuokong had twenty Jia La Rakshasa soldiers, but only five could assemble and immediately go into battle.
One was maimed by a barbarian here, and two were bombed while waiting for orders to counterattack in a nearby second-line position.
The remaining two were on the nearby shoal to block the dog barbarian's forcible crossing, and it was estimated that the situation was in danger at this time.
Although there are still five Menggu Cavalry Jia La, five Han Army Jia La, and three Eight Banners Soldier Jia La, nearly 20,000 troops are about fifty miles away from here and have not yet been used.
Bei Henuo felt that even if he put this new force into battle, it would be difficult for his troops to hold on to this place. The strength of Goumanzi had greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Hold it to me, general!"
Angbang Zhangjinggari of the Zhenghong Banner is at the local command post about thirty miles upstream of the Beihenuo Defense Area, resisting the attack of the Goumanzi. However, judging from the battle situation, the situation is very unfavorable for the Qing Dynasty King's Division.
Dozens of flying evil objects kept circling over the Qing army's riverside positions and strafing the ground all the time, making the defenders tireless.
The artillery fire on the other side was even more severe. Even the river bank was constantly collapsing under the attack of the artillery fire, and whole pieces of earth and stone were falling towards the river.
The Qing army's artillery was suppressed and unable to raise its head. Fifty-nine of the seventy-five gun positions were knocked out, and the remaining sixteen gun positions were already in danger.
Galli commanded about 24 Jia La and about 35,000 men and horses. At the moment of the battle, only about 20,000 could continue to fight.
Hiding in the corner, Prince Heshuoyong Yinzhen looked at the situation on the other side with a telescope with a gloomy look on his face. He also knew very well that the war was becoming more and more passive for the Qing Dynasty.
The disadvantage of defending along the river is that our side cannot rush over directly, but can only wait for the opportunity to attack halfway across the river before taking action.
The problem is that with the Ming army equipped with a large number of flying evil objects, the ability of the Qing army to attack halfway is rapidly losing...
To put it bluntly, the Qing army would be beaten if they held the position on the west bank of Dnieper. They would also be beaten if they counterattacked when the opponent crossed the river. They would be beaten anyway.
With the prince present to supervise the battle, Galli did not dare to slack off at all, and his soldiers had already exerted all their strength. However, the barbarians relied on their superior firepower to attack the defense line on the west bank frequently and unscrupulously.
In comparison, the Qing Dynasty's Wangshi's counterattack techniques were almost lackluster. Apart from the constant firing of anti-aircraft guns, the counterattack intensity was minimal.
All types of artillery are no match for Goumanzi's artillery, not to mention the constant worry of the evil flying objects hovering above their heads.
Facing the barbarian army equipped with many firearms and evil objects, Gali felt for the first time that he was so powerless, like a fallen leaf in the wind...
If the dog barbarian did not cross the river, his own losses would be so great. It is even more unimaginable after crossing the river.
Of course, you can still use the technique of half-crossing and striking, but you don't dare to think too much about the results.
What's better than Beiheno's place is that the barbarian troops on the other side haven't crossed the river yet, but they will start to forcefully cross the Dnieper River by tomorrow at the latest.
When Yinzhen saw this, he was anxious and angry, but he couldn't find a countermeasure that could prevent the Man Ming army from crossing the river.
If someone can really come up with an effective method, Yinzhen can protect his title of king!
Over the past few days, Yinzhen has developed blisters and oral ulcers due to the anger and anger attacking her heart and lack of rest.
Even if such symptoms did not occur, worries about the war situation would make him sleepless and uneasy.
The speed of Goumanzi's advance was too fast, not much slower than the Qing cavalry.
The most frightening thing is that the troops coming over are mainly tanks, which can drive straight in and fight in the wild.
If it weren't for the Dnieper River running across here, I'm afraid the other party would have rushed to the border between the Qing Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire.
