Chapter 237 The Great Forest
The red machine gun barrel was thrown into the water and sprayed a stream of water vapor along the gun chamber, instantly increasing the temperature in the bunker. On the right side of the bolt, thousands of cartridge cases were scattered, and the ammunition box behind him had been empty. The deputy shooter was desperately pressing the bullets for the magazine and inserting the treetops between the bunker. Lu Yan, this will either be blown up by the artillery of the Qing army, or pushed away by the Qing army desperately, or blown up with gunpowder.
From the evening to midnight, the Qing army launched seven attacks one after another, and each time the third battalion faced greater pressure than the previous one. The Qing army invested more and more troops, and the artillery fire was also more and more fierce again. Occasionally, they even responded with the horse team, with the idea of not being able to give up the Yellow River.
One night, in front of the position of the third battalion with a width of more than four kilometers, the Qing army had left nearly 10,000 corpses. For a moment, the air was full of the smell of blood. When the bleak moonlight shone on the ground, the corpses scattered on the ground only made people feel cold, and between the corpses and corpses, the miserable screams echoed in the night sky. It was the howl of the wounded who were not cleaned up.
"Your excellency, you can't go on like this!"
The general who knelt on the ground kept kowtowing.
"This is a war, which is to die at all. The Guangfu army is alone in this place. Our army besieged it with a base. If it is surrounded for a month, it is bound to starve to death. There is no need for the soldiers to die in vain..."
The general kowtowed his head. Even the hard-hearted official will become soft-hearted when he sees the death of so many people. No one can be ruthless.
"Your Excellency, Ma Anliang wants to use the hand of the restoration army to slaughter..."
Before he finished speaking, a white light suddenly flashed behind him. The next moment, the general who kneled on the ground separated, and the blood splashed out of Xu Yuan. Ma Guobang, who was carrying a Hezhou saber, seemed to inadvertently look at Lu Hongtao, who was slightly angry, and held his fists in his hands.
"Don't be surprised that Lu Shuai is invited. The military mind can't be disturbed, and the country has no choice but to act on behalf of the military law! Please punish Lu Shuai!"
When he held his fist and asked for a bow, the riders on the horse team put away their guns and hugged up without saying a word with a torch-like Hezhou knife. They pressed the horse and kicked their horses' hoofs on the loess, as if to remind Lu Hongtao with the sound of horses' hoofs.
In an instant, he restrained the anger on his face. Lu Hongtao stepped forward to hold Ma Guobang and squeezed out laughter in his voice.
"The military heart is not allowed to be disturbed. How can I not know that the state is in charge of military law, which is very good for me!"
With that, he changed his words again.
"In half an hour, we will charge again, and ask the national cavalry to inspect the defeated soldiers on their behalf!"
Although he was pale, he still pressed the fire in his heart and stared at the cavalry. He wanted to correct the horse state, but... "I'm going to kill him, and I'll kill him sooner or later!"
In the account, Lu Hongtao, who could no longer control his anger, roared in his voice. Although it was a roar, his voice was not loud. He did not dare to shout. He did not want to gamble on the lives of his own and 40,000 brothers. He did not believe in the Han army. He mainly returned to the team and returned to the team as the prison. Although the left wing army had nearly 50,000 Han troops, there were 6 battalions. The 4th battalion of the team monitored, and once there was something strange, the 6th battalion would ride a war horse and wield a Hezhou knife to kill.
While there was no one in the tent, Li Shijie knelt on the ground and kowtowed several heads in a row, and then stared at his red eyes.
"Lu Shuai, let's do the opposite!"
"Reverse! How to reverse?"
Cao Dajun asked back. As a master, he had seen through what Ma Anliang wanted to do. He said that he wanted to capture the king and take the sixth division. The northwest could be determined. In a bad way, he wanted to slaughter the left wing army with the hand of the light recovery army. The left wing army was gone or disabled. The promotion was nothing more than a doll that was allowed to be kneaded by it. Can't you see it? He couldn't see it, but compared with the Han army, he would rather believe that Ma Anliang had no way back.
"Lu Shuai, even if you want to reverse, now is not the time to reverse!"
Take two steps forward and walk to Lu Hongtao. Cao Dajun whispered in his ear.
"Wait!"
Ma Anliang in the military tent coldly spit out two words and continued to wipe the Hezhou knife in his hand. A few decades ago, the Hezhou knife was nameless and made by a famous craftsman, but now Hezhou knife is the first knife in the northwest, relying on the name of tearing and cutting trees in the array, and taking the person as his whole body.
"Big, if we eat this sixth division, do you think they will really..."
"In those years, Zuo Shuai didn't say that he didn't leave a horse in the northwest? But in the end, how can the ancestors of our Ma family bring this red top? It depends on the power of the first battle of Mo Nigou. Zuo Shuai has to rely on us and don't hurt the Guangfu army. They won't look at us with the right eyes!"
Looking outside the tent, Ma Anliang continued to say.
"How can I not know that Sheng Yun's little thought? The general of Zhuguo and the first general of Zhongxing are all bullshit. No matter how sharp the Hezhou knife is, it can't be as good as the cannons and foreign guns of the Guangfu Army. This time, you and I brought out 250,000 children. If you can go back to Hezhou, Ningxia and Qinghai alive, there will be 50,000. I will know. "!"
At this time, Ma Anliang's face showed some pity. This time, all the men in the three places came out. Even the fifteen or sixteen-year-old men were on the horse to carry a knife. At first, he wanted to win fame, but now he wants to save the glory of the family. How can he forget what Gansu people can't forget? This head is still guarded by itself. It was really torn apart. My head is on someone else's trousers belt.
"Big, in this case, why do we surround it with bases? This restoration army is only 20,000 at most, and we can have 300,000. If we surround them for two months, we will definitely starve them to death! At that time..."
"I'm confused. Didn't you read the newspaper that the First Cavalry Division of the Guangfu Army went south to Zheng County by railway? How many days will it take to get here from Zheng County? In ten days at most, the first cavalry division was cut out with Lao Maozi's cavalry outside the customs. Geng Zinian was in the capital. Let's go with the Gan army, but we suffered a lot of losses from Lao Maozi's cavalry! They can take advantage of the old Maozi cavalry, not to mention us... They all say that the Han people can't ride horses in their bones, but the cavalry of the Nian army in those years is the strongest horse!"
Closing his eyes, Ma Anliang recalled the twisted horse team he met in those years. The Hezhou horse team did not take advantage of it, and the monk king's Mongolian iron horse did not take advantage of it. He could not ride a horse when he was young, but if he rode a horse... "This Han man is a big forest. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and naturally there are good and bad. The strong are like dragons and tigers, and despicable people are like pigs and dogs. This first cavalry division is riding a high-headed foreign horse, holding foreign knives and guns. We... just spread our power in the countryside. It's really unpredictable to win or lose when we really touch them, so we have to attack the sixth division and take down the sixth division at all costs. The situation in the northwest will collapse. When the elite soldiers came out of Tongguan, they used the head of Shengyun to show their loyalty!"
Ma Anliang didn't feel uncomfortable when he said this. In those years, his father relied on this hand to get Zuo Shuai's credit. If he didn't hurt them, how could they give birth to the heart of being brave? The Han people have always been good and bad.
"Wait a minute!"
Listening to the gunshots in the air, Ma Anliang looked at the sons in the tent and said, "Wait for Lu Hongtao's people to tear open the Luyan, your second uncle leads the leader of the ten-star horse team, you lead the four-star team and the six-star team in the middle, the horse team responds, the team takes the fort, and the third, you lead the ten-star team with your second uncle to beat the 18-mile shop and kill along the way. And regardless of the casualties, as long as the flowers explode in the middle, this iron walnut is a rotten mud! Our Ma family in Hezhou is pointing to this battle!"
The soldiers in the night pulled the bolts one after another and aimed at the front. The machine gunner had filled the machine gun with cooling water, the secondary shooter held the bullet belt, the light machine gunner held the light machine gun, and the submachine gunner charged him. They were about to usher in the slaughter of the new wheel. The position in front of them is full of dead bodies. The dry yellow land has long been stained and infiltrated by the blood of the corpses, but this one-sided slaughter still continues, and it seems to have no end.
"Those who break the battle will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and those who withdraw without permission will be killed without mercy!"
With the roar of the officers, the Qing army waving all kinds of miscellaneous flags and immediately rushed forward. The cruel war can teach people a lot of things. After several assaults, these people learned a lot. At least they knew how to crawl on the ground to avoid being hit by bullets. At this time, their actions were like their lives. , crawling on the ground like an ant. In the distance, the cavalry riding on a horse with a Hezhou knife stared at the group of ants. At the place where they set out, there were corpses lying horizontally, which were cut down deserters.
When people like ants appear in the moon, "Dah, Dah...Bah...Bah...Bah...Bah"
The gunshot ofsounded, and the soldiers desperately pulled the trigger and pulled the bolt between the trenches and the trenches. They collected cheap lives close to the ground with the German Mauser rifles in their hands! The machine gunner's face shot desperately with a bloodthirsty expression, without any psychological pressure, as if it was really shooting a group of unpityable ants.
Rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, mortar firing bullets devour the hope of the ants, but they still stick to the ground, without even shouting, no howling, only when they die will they make a grue. They know that the more they scream, the faster they die.
The barrel of the MJ02 heavy machine gun made in Ma'anshan was steaming, and the ants fell down piece by piece, but someone kept making it up later. Some people were knocked down on the body when they crossed the bodies of their companions.
Occasionally, when some collapsed people turn around and escape, they will hear the sound of horses' hoofs in the dark, followed by the screams of the deserters and the cheers of the cavalry. Between life and death, another corpse wall appeared in front of the three battalions.
No matter how much hatred, it can't change the feelings of flesh-and-blood compatriots. The soldiers in the trench can no longer accept all this in front of him. Tears rolled down his face. These are all his compatriots! But now he was killed by them like killing animals. Although the previous battle had made him hard-hearted, he listened to the faint howl in the air and the sadness, and his heart suddenly softened! He suddenly threw the rifle in his hand and jumped out of the trench and rushed forward like crazy. At the same time, he waved his hands and roared loudly, "Brothers, don't die, don't rush, don't rush..."
Then a bullet penetrated his forehead. He fell on the corpse in front of the position, rolled around the momentum of the bullet and did not move. Lying on the ground, he looked at the night sky reluctantly.
Although it was night, almost everyone could clearly see that the Qing army on the ground suddenly stood up and rushed up like a tide when it was only a hundred meters away. The machine gunners shot crazily. The barrel of the heavy machine gun was steaming, and the Qing army fell down in pieces, but there were people rushing up behind, and some tripping. On the corpse of the company, but still rushed over with his life.
At this moment, the machine gunner suddenly stopped shooting and roared, "Quickly, add water!" The interruption of the machine gun made Zhao Sheng suddenly feel a chill. A squad of soldiers shot desperately with rifles and light machine guns. The water pipe of the heavy machine gun was soon full and roared again, forming a corpse wall in front of the position.
At this moment, they had approached the deer rock made of treetops, and the explosion began to echo constantly. They were blowing up the deer rock with fire. A soldier with a big knife jumped fiercely and jumped into the ditch beside the bunker. Zhao Sheng didn't think about it and raised his pistol and shot it down. The man was dressed in rut and only held a big knife in his hand. In the moonlight, he could clearly see that his face was full of palpitations.
Looking at the tears rolling down on Zhao Sheng's face, he stretched out his hand to pull the man into the bunker, and then blocked the narrow entrance with a clay board. With the gun flame, he could see that the young man's face did not even have a beard, but only the Gansu cavity.
"It hurts, it hurts, I want my mother." Zhao Sheng, with tears in his eyes, pressed the wound on the child's chest, but the blood still oozed between his fingers. The child swallowed.
"The company commander, they blew up Lu Yan!"
At this moment, there was a shout in the bunker.
"It's done!"
Looking at the thunderbolts in the sky, Ma Guoliang, who was riding on the horse, immediately shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, go!"
The cavalry of the ten battalions of thousands of people galloped on the ground for several miles. When they marched, the earth seemed to move in an instant. The effect of thousands of cavalry rushing together was not conceivable to ordinary people. Perhaps only the word "moving the mountain" can describe this scene, which was rumbled by countless iron hooves. The dust in the yellow land has been stretching for more than ten miles.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The roar of thousands of cavalry was really amazing, and the whole earth shook with the horses' hoofs.
When the cavalry was attacking, there was a red, black and yellow flag flashing in the cavalry, and the cavalry in the rear charged with the flag. The cavalry that would charge desperately ignored the infantry in front of them and the bullets fired by the bunkers around them. They just rushed forward desperately. The infantry was trampled into mud under the horse's hoofs. When the horse was knocked down, the rider following the horse jumped over the horse's corpse and rushed forward. The original wave-like horse team, when approaching, suddenly It turned into more than a dozen sharp cones, rushing straight towards the deer rock that was pushed into an empty.
Just as the heaven and earth were shaken and only the sound of hooves could be heard in the air, a sharp roar suddenly came from the sky. The next moment, nearly a hundred bursts of flames were blown out in the air, and then the whole front was shrouded in gunfire, and the sound of hooves that shocked the world was replaced by the explosion...
