Those who are good at attacking have fierceness as their soul, and they can set fire to a prairie fire as if they are sweeping the enemy.
Those who are good at guarding have perseverance as their backbone and take the stormy waves lightly.
Seeing the Mongolian siege becoming more and more intensive, Xu Erlu was not nervous at all.
"Every unit maintains its formation, takes the order as the signal, and will not be in chaos even if it is dead."
The battalions under the 2nd Regiment responded one after another and became more determined.
So what if I'm surrounded?
Friendly forces are behind and reinforcements are outside.
As long as more enemies are attracted to the side, it will be a great victory.
This is the National Defense Force, the invincible and powerful army that Zuo Menggeng devoted his efforts to build.
Orders are given clearly and clearly.
Every officer and every soldier will understand what they have to do and what tasks they have to undertake. Even if he is willing to sacrifice himself, he will never allow his death to be indistinct.
Those who sacrifice for victory are brave!
Although they didn’t know whether they could end the battle alive, the 2nd Regiment had no regrets and no fear.
The Mongols finally got their movement in place.
They circled around on the grassland, running back and forth, just to arrange the best attack formation.
Everything is in the heart of the Mongolian people, and they don't even need any orders, they will do it naturally.
This is a talent that makes the Mongolians extremely proud, and it is also the secret of their ancestors' dominance in the world.
But the Mongols didn't know that precisely because they were proud but unwilling to change, their enemies had already figured it out.
This is how the Ming army led by Zhu Yuanzhang drove them back to the grassland, and this is how Zhu Di ravaged them back and forth.
The National Defense Forces are more scientific and rigorous in collecting and sorting out enemy intelligence, and naturally have an extremely deep understanding of the Mongolian tactics.
Just when the Mongols organized their formation, turned their arrows, and prepared to accelerate, the 2nd Regiment took the lead.
"Standard 334, plus 5 degrees, release!"
Because the 2nd Regiment was responsible for the most tragic mission, Wang Yaowen could only try to strengthen their strength as he was unable to change it.
Ten light infantry guns may not seem like many, but they can maximize the firepower of the 2nd Regiment.
Regarding how to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, the artillerymen of the National Defense Forces recited the tactical manual to the point of vomiting.
Every word on it is engraved in my mind and I will never forget it in this life.
The moment the Mongolian cavalry gathered and turned was also the moment when they were most vulnerable.
Because in this case, if attacked, the Mongols would not have time to evacuate.
In the past, the only way to attack the Mongolian cavalry was either cavalry or infantry. But on the prairie, these two arms cannot come together in an instant.
Not even the red cannons of the Qing army could do it.
After all, the range is limited, and the Mongolian cavalry can operate at a slightly farther distance.
Manzhu Xili still underestimated the second group.
He did not see the artillery in the center of the 2nd Regiment, and he was hit hard at this time.
Ten explosive bombs roared towards them, giving the Mongols no time to react and immediately exploded violently within the formation.
】
Countless fragments swept wildly, tearing the flesh and blood of the Mongolians and horses into pieces.
All the Mongolians who were still alive were frightened and fled in all directions, ignoring orders.
This immediately slowed down the momentum of the Mongols' charge.
The pressure on the front of the 2nd Regiment was greatly reduced.
Amidst the sharp whistles, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment raised their guns in the face of the oncoming cavalry.
On the battlefield, if you don't want to die, you can only kill the enemy.
The musket in hand is the most trustworthy thing for soldiers.
The Mongols also knew the power of muskets. They tossed and turned desperately on horseback, or tried to hide their bodies to prevent bullets from hitting them.
However……
The overwhelming rain of bullets came, and most of them were borne by the horses.
Although the Mongols have learned to put thick leather armor on their war horses, it has to be said that things like the armor stomach are destined to be eliminated from history in the face of hot weapons.
Even a strong war horse cannot withstand the damage that a small projectile can cause.
In an instant, people were thrown off their backs, and the Mongolian charging formation was in chaos again.
Some timid ones actually quietly slowed down their horses, not daring to rush so far forward.
These Mongols are ultimately inferior to their ancestors.
The horses charged very quickly. The 2nd Regiment fired three rounds of musketry, and the Mongolian cavalry also rushed within the range of the bow and arrow.
They were finally able to fight back.
The Mongols raised their bows one after another to vent their anger.
Cowardly Han people, when your muskets are useless, let's see who is the real warrior.
The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment inevitably felt scared as arrows rained towards their faces, but they did not hide.
With such a large area covered, I really don’t know where to hide.
Moreover, the strict military discipline is firmly remembered in the hearts of the soldiers. No one can bear the consequences of retreating without orders.
Although many of them are new recruits as security divisions, many ideas have been instilled in the minds of the soldiers under scientific training.
Under the rain of arrows, a large number of Wehrmacht soldiers were injured or killed, and the rotating formation also showed a slight stagnation.
The Mongolians were overjoyed when they saw this, and quickly increased their horse speed, trying to rush in.
But at this moment, cannonballs hit again, taking away all the cavalry in the front row. Those behind were greatly affected, and countless people stumbled, fell, and collided with each other.
Although the light infantry was unable to attack, the 2nd Regiment still had mortars in its hands.
There is no need to deliberately aim at the enemy, you just need to shoot the shells according to fixed coordinates. Under the extreme rate of fire, a continuous barrage was formed eighty meters in front of the musketeers.
The number of Mongolian cavalry that could rush out of this barrage was greatly reduced.
Hand-to-hand combat between infantry and cavalry soon broke out.
The Mongolian cavalry crashed into the infantry array of the National Defense Forces. At first, they were able to use their superb horse speed to rampage and kill indiscriminately. But soon, the war horses could no longer hit, the momentum slowed down, and they were immediately attacked by dense forest of bayonets from the Wehrmacht infantry.
The Mongolian cavalry sat on their horses. Although they were condescending, their goals were too obvious.
A soldier with loaded bullets shot him and killed him on the spot.
The scimitar in the hands of the Mongols was too short and could not match the length of the bayonet. Under the thorn, one by one fell down like a bloody gourd.
The first batch of Mongolian cavalry rushing into the front line was decreasing rapidly.
However, their casualties gave Manzhu the opportunity to practice rituals.
Larger batches of Mongolian cavalry have rushed forward like a tide.
This was the fatal attack on the 2nd regiment.
Seeing that all the ministries were already engaged in a bitter battle and the main force was also being held back, Xu Erlu was not afraid.
"Order everyone in the regiment to take up arms and prepare to fight."
Upon hearing the order, the civilian staff did not hesitate at all. Like other soldiers, they also formed a thick array of muskets around Xu Erlu.
On the mountain in the south, I saw all the Mongols rushing forward, turning the battlefield into a mess. King Mo turned around and mounted his horse.
The long sword was raised and the horn was loud.
The various units of the 1st Cavalry Division, which had been waiting for a long time, began to scatter in all directions, establishing a large and broad encirclement network.
