Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 423 Bloody Battle on Xiaobai Mountain
After the armored soldiers of the Qing army who launched the sneak attack poured into the logistics camp of the Beihai Navy like a tide, they were not in a hurry to set fire to it. They followed the fire at the field hospital not far away. As long as you see that there is no white cloth on the opponent's arm, you can just raise your hand and cut it.

Many migrant workers were exhausted all day and were still sound asleep when the fire broke out.So when the Qing army threw the ignited thunder gourd into the tent and exploded, there were heavy casualties in the tent.And because the tent was ignited by the flames of the explosion, the people inside were injured and panicked and had no time to escape, so they were burned alive inside.

At this moment, the Bei Haijun, who was in charge of guarding the logistics camp, was fully awake. Many people didn't even have time to put on their coats, and rushed out with only a vest on their upper body, holding their guns.Although the Beihai Navy often launched emergency gatherings at night, it was still rare to be attacked by the Qing army at night.Seeing the chaotic scene in front of them, they forgot for a moment whether to kill the enemy or save people first.

It is said that if you bully people for too long, you will forget how to fight back when you are bullied.This is like a strong man bullying people every day, beating another guy who was originally a strong man into a waste.Unexpectedly, one day, that good-for-nothing came quietly behind the strong man, jumped up and swung the strong man with a sap, and then knocked the strong man into a daze.The strong man's first reaction was not to fight back, but two words popped up above his head: Damn!
The sneak attacking Qing army also saw those soldiers. Under the command of several leaders, some of them took off the flintlock guns on their backs, moved the nose, and focused their fire on the Beihai Navy dozens of meters away.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

Afterwards, the Qing army who fired the gun immediately squatted down and charged the powder proficiently, and dozens of Qing troops behind rushed to the front and shot a round of arrows.Immediately afterwards, the Qing army, armed with short guns and waist knives, rushed up quickly, shooting and hacking.In a blink of an eye, more than 30 Beihai soldiers and migrant workers fell in a pool of blood.

When the other Beihai soldiers saw it, they were immediately terrified by the ferocity of the Qing army, and they turned around and wanted to run back.At this time, a platoon leader saw this, and immediately greeted several subordinates beside him, and faced several Qing troops rushing forward with their guns, and shouted: "Everyone listen to my password, raise your guns! Shoot!"

However, their number was too small. Under the cover of their comrades who were shot in front, more than a dozen armored soldiers of the Qing army rushed over like a tide, and quickly submerged those Beihai soldiers.

When the flintlock guns were fired in the logistics camp, the periphery of the Western Front Command in the mountain depression more than a mile away was also attacked by the Qing army.However, under the leadership of two spies, the sneak attacking Qing army bypassed two clear posts, but was still discovered by a secret post.

Unlike the logistics camp, the dark posts outside the headquarters are equipped with low-light night vision devices.No matter how careful the Qing army was, the sneak attack team of nearly a thousand people was absolutely shocking in the infrared vision, densely packed and a bright spot.

When the secret sentry quickly transmitted the situation to the outer defensive positions through the walkie-talkie, the company in charge of night security did not fire.The company commander who heard the news first ordered people to report the emergency to the headquarters, and then ordered the entire company to enter the first level of combat readiness, and concentrated all the large flashlights in the company on the position.

It is said that even if Zhao Xin underestimates the enemy, he will not make fun of his own life.Not to mention anything else, there were no less than a company of guards stationed just outside his new courtyard in Beihai Town.In addition, a lot of monitoring is installed to ensure that there are no dead ends in 360 degrees.

Although it is nonsense to give each of the more than 2 soldiers an iron chest guard and iron neck guard, thermal imaging cameras are still equipped; the number is not large, and they are mainly used by the reconnaissance team, followed by night sentries.

At present, the units that use the most protective and reconnaissance equipment in the Northern Navy are Seldan's reconnaissance brigade, the first regiment and the fourth regiment.This is mainly because Zhao Xin has been fighting Tsarist Russia last year, so most of the equipment was deployed in the northern front forces in Irkutsk.

Military-grade thermal imaging equipment in another time and space is not a big carrot on the roadside, and it is not easy to buy if you have money.The entire Beihai Navy currently has only a hundred sets.The land is getting bigger, so we can even out a few sets here, share some over there, and keep spare ones, and that's it.

The most observation equipment distributed by the North Navy to night guard personnel is actually the "Acebeam K75" strong flashlight from another time and space.The power of this thing is as high as 60W, the maximum brightness can reach 6300 lumens in the extremely bright mode, and the maximum illumination distance at night is 2500 meters.

Of course, due to the efficiency of the LED, the durability of the extremely bright mode is not high, at most 2 minutes, and it must be dissipated through the turbine in the flashlight.The brightness of 1400 lumens can be maintained for one and a half hours, and the irradiation distance is more than [-] meters.

Of course, Zhao Xin hadn't slept yet. After the war started, he only got four hours of sleep every day.As soon as he received the report from the outlying positions, the gunshots from the logistics camp came over.Hu Ji rushed into Zhao Xin's tent with his men, and felt at ease when he saw that he was safe and sound.

"My lord, I'm going to the south to command, don't go out."

Zhao Xin raised his hands and hung the HK416 on his chest.Although this gun has not been taken out in front of people for a long time, Zhao Xin maintains it frequently, and occasionally goes to the shooting range to shoot dozens of rounds.

He said to Huji: "I don't need to worry here, you hurry up and take a battalion to the field hospital! The Qing army can sneak in, maybe there are traitors!"

Seeing Zhao Xin's posture, Huji immediately recalled the scene of ambushing the Qing army on Xiongdao. He immediately saluted, turned around and walked out of the tent, cursing as he walked, "Catch that traitor, I will kill you!" He can't!"

Zhao Xin took two of his guards to board the sentry tower in the headquarters camp.The whole body of this sentry is made of steel pipes and wooden boards, and it is more than three meters above the ground. Below it is the headquarters surrounded by an explosion-proof wall.If the Qing army wants to rush in, forget it, they can't rush in, there are still three lines of defense outside!
Unless there are 1 people coming, filling it with human lives and paving a bloody road.

At this time, the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest rang, and it was the battalion commander of the artillery battalion asking if he could fire the artillery.Zhao Xin said don't worry, contact the front, mark the location, and then you can fire when the front fires, and directly cut off their back with artillery fire.

Now in order to save shells, the Beihai Navy cannot directly call for artillery fire unless the commander at the regiment level personally orders;

It is said that later generations say that the technical difficulty of mortar shells is low, let's try to make a qualified booster and delay tube?Or even make a hundred fuzes without error?This thing is not a second-hander. The farther it collapses, the better. The cheapness is only compared to the shells of howitzers.

If Beihai Town wants to produce shells by itself, the booster powder alone needs to go through many explosion tests before it can be finalized. It needs to measure the detonation velocity, detonation pressure, detonation temperature, adiabatic index, and charge density, etc. through instruments. It is also necessary to continuously test and upgrade.Not to mention the standardization of production of other components.

Industrialization seems easy to say, but industrialization is marked by military industry, heavy industry and a large number of industrial workers, while light industry is just the tip of a little finger.What a fart to make some cigarette glass soap!

Speaking of another time and space, how many years did it take for the construction of heavy industry in Northeast China?That started at the end of the Qing Dynasty.Even if Zhao Xin can bring a lot of equipment, the supporting industrial workers are still far behind!

If you want to use weapons to fight against others, you must have a supporting industrial base.So don't say that guns and guns are made as soon as they come up. All series of weapons are designed for a certain type of ammunition; for example, there are small-caliber rifle bullets that are finalized first, and then there are various small-caliber rifles.Once qualified ammunition is manufactured, guns will naturally be produced.

In a word, a bullet sees highs and lows.

When a thousand Qing troops led by Bobin crawled forward to 30 meters from the outer defense line of the Beihai Navy, the Qing army team in charge of the vanguard was about to stand up and charge, when they heard a "shua", dozens of strong lights came from the Beihai Navy. After shooting out of the sandbag cover, more than 1000 Qing troops were blinded immediately, and there was nowhere to hide.

Immediately afterwards, the Qing army heard a breathtaking whistle not far in front, and more than 100 rifles and more than a dozen light machine guns on the Beihai naval position opened fire at the same time.The sneak attacking force led by the first-class bodyguard Bobin suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and the whole area suddenly became a sea of ​​blood.

Seeing that something was going wrong, some Qing soldiers got up and wanted to escape, but they were either hit by bullets or blasted into the sky by the ensuing artillery fire.

At this time, Bobin was lying behind a dead armored soldier, not daring to lift his head, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and get in.Before he could dig the soil, Bobin felt a sudden burst of heat from his left calf, and his entire left leg became numb immediately.After a few breaths, a severe pain that cannot be described in words intensified, and Bobin couldn't help crying out.

Several sturdy armored soldiers took out the gourd flying thunder they were carrying on their bodies, lit them with matches from Beihai Town, and tried to throw them out. As a result, a rain of bullets hit them. .

With a sound of "boom", a armored soldier who had been shot and hadn't fallen to the ground immediately became a burning man.But even though he died, the Qing army around him was in bad luck.The iron sand in the gourd flying thunder flew around with the explosion, blowing up the living Qing army within a few meters and howling.

Those armored soldiers crouching on the edge of the team tried to avoid the light and escape into the darkness, but what followed was the roar of artillery fire, which locked the Qing army firmly in an area the size of two football fields.

The sound of guns and artillery on the defense line of the Beihai Navy caught the attention of the Qing army in the fortress of Dizihao. They crouched behind the parapet and sandbags on the edge of the cliff, watching the bright beams of light and the rising flames down the mountain. Shocked, his legs trembled.

The defenders of Dizihao Fortress finally understood at this moment that the Beihai Navy didn't fight seriously at all yesterday, it was just for fun.

"Witchcraft! This must be witchcraft! What kind of evil method did they use to make the night look like day?!"

"You have to use the blood of a black dog to break it!"

"Do we have black dogs here? Not even a woman!"

"I said brother, why don't we surrender. If I die in battle, what will my mother do? Woooooo~~"

"Shut up! You are fucking dead! Let the adults move their heads immediately when they hear it. I still want to see your mother, grandma!"

A few defenders on this side were discussing in low voices, while on the other side, the guards of Dizihao Fortress looked at the exchange of fire at the foot of the mountain with uncertain expressions.

"My lord, the ones being beaten below seem to be our people, do you want to mark the leader and kill them to relieve the siege of the friendly army?"

Under the dim light of the torch, the guard put down the binoculars, turned around and glanced coldly at the begging leader, and asked, "Did you eat enough to eat at night or did you eat too much? Or will you be hungry in the morning?" "

The leader was stunned for a moment, unable to speak for a while.The two leaders next to him took a look, and quickly persuaded: "My lord, don't blame him. Isn't he anxious when everyone sees the friendly army being surrounded?"

The guard pointed down the mountain and said: "Keep your eyes wide open! The enemy's firepower is so strong, there is still a chance if you don't guard strictly. If you go down, let alone clear the siege, you will definitely die!"

The Beihai Navy’s logistics camp was still full of flames. More than 2000 migrant workers who escaped by chance scattered and fled, some hid in the dense forest, and some rushed towards the defense line formed by the Beihai Navy.

A battalion commander under Hu Ji looked at the migrant workers rushing towards them with strong flashlights, and the armored soldiers of the Qing army flashing behind them from time to time, and asked Hu Ji anxiously, "Commander, what should we do?"

Huji was also difficult to deal with, and he couldn't shoot at the people, so he pulled out the long knife he was wearing and said angrily: "Damn it! Show your bayonets and follow me!"

The battalion commander immediately stopped him and said, "I'll go!"

After finishing speaking, he snatched the rifle from one of Huji's guards, threw out the bayonet, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "People from the second battalion, come with me!"

By the way, is there a bottom line on the battlefield?
The fact is that once each other's eyes are red, and the bestiality in human nature is completely released, then nothing will be ignored until one side is completely killed, or the two sides no longer have the strength to swing their weapons.

When the commander of the second battalion led more than 300 soldiers and started to advance with his bayonet out, the common people who ran over hurriedly dodged to the left and right and went around to the back.Gradually, a group of armored soldiers of the Qing army, armed with sharp knives and covered in blood and mud like hell demons, finally appeared in the flames.

When they panted heavily and saw the Bei Haijun rushing forward with bayonets in their hands, a look of ferocity appeared on their faces, and they rushed forward with shouts.

"shooting!"

"Fire!"

The distance between the two sides was only 30 to [-] meters at the moment, and they fired almost at the same time.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After all, the Beihai Navy had to worry about the migrant workers running around in front of them, so the firepower density was much lower.The Qing army, on the other hand, had no such worries, and almost all enemies were in front of them.

So when more than 300 muskets fired at the same time, the Second Battalion suffered the largest casualties since the start of the war.Amidst the thick smoke, the Qing army threw away their spears and drew out short blunderbuss from their waists to continue shooting.When the living Qing army had fired all the muskets on his body, he rushed over immediately, ignoring the casualties of his companions.

The second battalion on the opposite side had no time to reload after firing all the bullets. The Qing army had already waved their weapons and came up, so the tragic hand-to-hand combat began.

In the offense and defense of cold weapon combat, there is no fighting back and forth at all.If the attacked party makes a wrong prediction, no matter whether the opponent hits a vital point or not, not to mention being hit, it is very likely that the target will lose the ability to fight, the limbs hit may not be able to use, and even if healed, there is a high probability that the target will remain. under disability.

The bayonet technique of the Beihai Navy comes from militia textbooks from another time and space and personal demonstrations by Wang Yuanfang, Liu Sheng and others. Although the movements are simple, they are fierce and sharp; As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of a thousand tricks, be afraid of one trick."

And many of the Qing troops who made a sneak attack had also experienced fighting on the battlefield, and they had extremely rich experience in using cold weapons.In addition, these people were all wearing foam nail cotton armor covered with mud, and it would be difficult for Bei Haijun to pierce through without using force.

The second battalion commander who led the team held a bayonet and glared at the armored soldier holding a tiger spear on the opposite side. On the blood shield at the tail of the tiger spear, the congealed blood had turned the red tassel into purple-black.The second battalion commander suddenly roared, stabbed his spear, slid forward slightly to the left of the Qing army's spear head, and made a false stab. The armored soldier did not retreat at all, and directly swung his spear to the left, trying to bully him. The body knocks it over.At this time, the tip of the second battalion commander's gun slid down, bypassed the opponent's gun body, and turned the gun to stab his right abdomen.

"Pfft!" After a pause, the sword-shaped military stab pierced straight through the opponent's armor and sank into his stomach.The Qing army was extremely tough. Although he screamed in pain and the tiger spear fell off his hand, he still swung his gauntleted fist with all his strength and hit the second battalion commander on the left cheek.

The Second Battalion Commander's head buzzed and his face turned purple after being punched.In a blink of an eye, he lifted his foot and kicked towards the opponent's knee. The armored soldier staggered forward and directly pressed on his body, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

After the Second Battalion Commander managed to push away the armored soldier on his body, grabbed the rifle with slippery hands and drew out the bayonet, he heard the armored soldier murmur: "Er Niang."
