Ming Zuo

Chapter 582
The rocket pierced the sky, flying and roaring like a dragon.

The earth cracked and the sky collapsed, and everything panicked. Smoke, fire, and dust covered the sky and the earth, and swallowed all living things.

The effect of the rocket launcher put into actual combat for the first time was very surprising.

Of course, the new army was happy, and the Dongjiang rebels were surprised.

"Okay! Hahaha, it's fun!"

Zhong Shishou, the commander of the rocket launcher company, observed that under the rapid attack of the rocket launchers, the formation of the Dongjiang rebels was completely broken up, and the entire line collapsed. He was very happy.

"Quick, reload quickly, let these beasts have a taste."

He was happy, but all the men who loaded the bomb were frowning.

"Company commander, take it easy, are you trying to exhaust us to death?"

The hardest part of the artillery is always the one who moves the shells.And if you want to say the most bitter, it must be moving rockets.

As the saying goes, one hour of reloading, one minute of refreshment.

The impact effect of the rocket is very outstanding, but for the logistics, it is definitely a curse.

But only this round of blows is enough.

Fifteen rocket launchers and [-] rockets fully covered a radius of about three miles.

There were at least a thousand Dongjiang rebels who were submerged.

Even among the soldiers of the new army, it was the first time for many people to see such a terrifying thing.Not to mention the Dongjiang rebels, the will to fight was directly disintegrated.

"What is this?"

Kong Youde's eyeballs popped out, exhausted his brains, but couldn't figure out what kind of weapon it was.

Seeing the frantic retreat of all the ministries, he felt powerless on the spot, knowing that the general situation was over.

Lou Fu saw the truth and immediately seized the opportunity.

"Order all ministries to attack across the board."

Anyway, the artillery of the Dongjiang rebels has been destroyed, and the new army is not afraid of being hit by artillery when they leave the fortifications.

Coupled with the impact of the rocket launcher, the will of the Dongjiang rebels collapsed, which is a good time to destroy the enemy in one go.

The loud marching horn resounded across the battlefield.

The divisions of the [-]rd Division left the trenches, lined up and began to advance.

A black line, like a huge wave, covered the entire front, leaving no gaps for the Dongjiang rebels to take advantage of.

Tens of thousands of people have the same footsteps, and the pace of 咵咵咵 is inspiring.

Just behind the infantry, the infantry followed.

"Push quickly, don't be slow. If anyone falls behind, I can't spare him later."

Niu Shougang, the head of the artillery regiment, personally commanded the infantry to follow the infantry, while nervously observing the battlefield situation.

On the high slope in front of the left, the red flag was flying at a high speed, and he quickly gave the order.

"Cannon!"

The light infantry was quickly put in place, that is, ten breaths of effort.

"Coordinates 376.5, 124.3, height difference 12."

The muzzle of the black hole crossed the infantry line and pointed at the Dongjiang rebels who were slowly recovering in the distance. Warheads and cartridges were stuffed into the barrel, and everyone waited quietly for Niu Shougang's order.

Niu Shougang did not rush to order to fire, but observed the infantry line with binoculars.

The moment he saw the infantry line crouching down and raising their guns, he shouted: "Fire!"

Forty-five infantry guns fired at the same time, and the shells accurately fell into the rebel formation [-] meters away. The effect of covering the shooting team was no worse than that of rocket artillery.

Geng Zhongming had tried his best to maintain part of the front line intact, planning to face off against the new army.But after the artillery fire, hundreds of people were killed.

Those who were still alive did not dare to stay where they were, and fled despite being beaten and scolded by the generals.

"Don't run away! Where can I run away? I don't care if I run away again!"

Geng Zhongming yelled desperately, and even swung his knife to kill the rout soldiers, but to no avail.

No one is stupid, they have already seen that, they simply cannot beat the devil on the other side.

Run, maybe you can escape with your life.

Stay where you are, maybe you will be blown to pieces the next moment.

The hearts of the rebels are fluctuating, everyone is terrified, and they have completely messed up.

Geng Zhongming was squeezed into the chaotic rout, not to mention stabilizing the formation, he might be trampled to death if he was not careful.

"Where's Du Shuai? Go and tell Du Shuai, and send troops over quickly."

It is impossible for Kong Youde to give him any support.

Although the rebel headquarters is not yet in chaos, Kong Youde is also facing a crisis.

The second division crossing the river from Xuzhou found him.

In the area of ​​Xifeng Mountain, the Second Division launched a fierce attack on Kong Youde's headquarters.

Xifeng Mountain, Grandma Mountain and Guangshan Mountain are clustered together in the shape of Pin.Although they are all small hills, compared to the surrounding plains, they are considered to be one of the few commanding heights.

Kong Youde arranged long-range weapons on the hillside and dug fortifications at the foot of the hill.

You can't run at this time.

Once they run away, the new army will chase after them, and the whole army will easily be defeated.

Only by defending around the high ground and repelling the attack of the second division can we find a way to transfer.

After observing the topography of the three hills, Mao Yuanyi made a decisive decision.

"Immediately seize Meihua Mountain in the south, Ermao Mountain in the north, and Tanshan in the east, pull the heavy artillery to the mountains, and level off the bombing."

If the cannon is placed on flat ground, it will not be able to cover all areas due to the shooting angle.

And after pushing up to the top of the mountain at the same height and firing, the fortifications arranged by the rebels in Shandong can be hit.

The Second Division moved quickly.

Two of the regiments attacked from the front, and the other two regiments, one from the south and one from the north, surrounded Kong Youde's headquarters on three sides.

In the past, the new army stuck to the trenches, waiting for the rebels to attack.

Now the roles are reversed, and it is replaced by the new army to attack the rebel fortifications.

The layout of the rebels is also perfect, and the front of the battlefield is also covered with mines.

But the advance speed of the new army is not fast, and the skirmish line used is to search while advancing.

The mines of the rebels are very rough, that is, clay pots filled with gunpowder, which are easy to find.

Once the new army found a landmine, they would throw the grenade over and explode the landmine.

Although the attack speed is very slow in doing so, it is safe to win.

The rockets arranged by the rebels on the mountain were fired desperately, without any accuracy.

After fighting for more than half an hour, only two unlucky members of the new army were shot by rockets and withdrew from the battlefield.

But the infantry line was less than a hundred meters away from the fortifications.

Seeing that the defense was about to be demolished by the new army, the traitor general Chen Wencai became anxious, jumped up and shouted: "Follow me."

He wants to launch a counter-charge, taking advantage of the new army's unstable foothold, to fight a small victory first.

But seeing the rebels rushing out, the new army at the front turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Chen Wencai was furious, and chased him even more anxiously.

Before he could get close, those retreating soldiers had already returned to the formation.

The new battalion commander then shouted: "Raise the gun!"

Whoa!
The soldiers who were lying on the ground squatted up one after another, and hundreds of muskets were aimed at the charging rebels.

A line of white smoke fluttered, and the deafening gunfire caused terrible damage to the enemy only a few dozen steps away.

Almost half of the more than a thousand rebels fell under this round of blows.

Seeing that it was too late to load the second round of ammunition, the battalion commander did not hesitate.

"Go on the bayonet!"

The falcon-style bayonet was assembled very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a cold light appeared in the formation of the new army.

Before the hand-to-hand combat, the new army threw another round of grenades, which once again weakened the number of rebels.

Tick ​​tick tick tick tick tick...

In the high-pitched charge, all the soldiers of the new army broke out in anger, and rushed towards the remaining Dongjiang rebels.

Hand to hand, the new army is not afraid of anyone!

　Thank you Wei Ai Qinger for the reward!
