Chapter 746: Immortals
"Smack!"
At the third watch in the evening, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was heading north to meet North Korea, was asleep, but was suddenly awakened by everyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the dark night, a piercing gunshot suddenly rang out.
North Koreans night attack!
Then, crackling gunshots rang out. Apparently the troops in charge of the guard were already engaged with the enemy.
The soldiers, awakened from their sleep, picked up their rifles and rushed out of the tents. Each platoon commander and company commander led the team and led the soldiers to rush to the outskirts of the camp in the shadowy night, raising their guns to the darkness in the distance.
The Huben army camped in the camp, and had always dug a trench two meters wide and two meters deep forty meters outside the camp to hinder the enemy's rush. With such a trench, the enemy's cavalry could not approach the Tiger Army.
In the space between the trench and the main body of the camp, a large number of thistles are arranged.
The Northern Expeditionary Army had to confront the Koreans during the day, and there was no time to build more complex defenses. This arrangement was also tight, enough to support the Tiger Ben army to shoot the enemy who tried to approach the camp. However, for these defenses to work, the premise is that there is enough light to provide a view at night.
If there is no light at night and you can't see anything, even digging ten trenches will not stop the enemy from approaching.
The regular arrangement used by the Tiger Army to provide visibility was a firewood pile. On the line 80 meters away from the camp, the vigilance troops of the Tiger Ben Army placed a large number of firewood piles. The firewood pile can illuminate the nearby space of more than ten meters, and the interval between each firewood pile is 40 meters, forming a lighting network to illuminate the enemy situation on the front line 80 meters away from the camp.
More than ten meters behind the trench, in the middle of the thistle, there is a second firewood line.
These firewood piles require a large amount of firewood and are demanding on the surrounding terrain. In order to obtain this firewood, the Tiger Army often had to camp in a wooded area to gather the firewood needed for lighting at night.
In general, such lighting conditions were enough to stop an ordinary army from attacking at night. Because the flag could not be seen during the night attack, the enemy was also in a state of blindness and was in a state of no command. The morale of the army in such a state is very low, and if it is shot by the Tiger Army for one or two rounds, it will often be defeated.
Only the troops with unmorale will be able to launch a decisive night attack in the dark night. Such a force had never been encountered by the Tiger Army before.
But today, the Tiger Ben Army met.
The North Koreans rushed to the firewood line with a basin of water and poured water on it in an attempt to extinguish it. At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were all standing on the earthen wall, and they did not hesitate to shoot at the North Koreans who were fighting the fire.
However, at night, the light was so dim that even the targets next to the firewood were shadowy, and the soldiers' hit rate dropped significantly. After the soldiers killed the first batch of North Koreans who rushed up, the North Koreans behind were still rushing forward, pouring water on the firewood pile one by one.
The firewood was quickly extinguished.
Zhong Feng frowned when he saw the Korean soldiers who followed one after another.
Zhong Feng was very surprised by the momentum of the North Koreans. Originally, in Zhong Feng's heart, the small country of North Korea would not have such a dead man.
Zhong Feng underestimated the determination of the two classes of family members to protect their jobs.
The two classes of the family are a group of people who do not do business. They relied on the economic privileges of two classes of nobles to survive, and their social status was higher than that of ordinary peasants. They eat better than peasants, dress better than peasants, and marry women prettier than peasants. Second only to the two classes of nobles in Korean society.
Yi Zhi's series of actions in Korea were obviously aimed at finally abolishing the dominance of the two classes of nobles. If Li Zhi succeeds, these family members will lose everything. A life of abundance and abundance will come to an end, and they will be hungry and full like peasants, working hard in the fields, and they may not be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of their lives.
It is impossible to make the two classes of family members accept such a bleak ending.
Even if the family members burn their own lives, they must drive Li Zhi out and protect their own interests.
After extinguishing the first ring of firewood, the servants rushed towards the side of the trench. The light from the firewood pile behind the trench is limited, and there is basically only one shadow for the characters next to the trench more than ten meters away. In the dark, the Tiger Army could not accurately aim at the target with shadows, and the hit rate was very low.
If the North Koreans built a wooden bridge over the trench and rushed over, the Tiger Ben army would have to fight the North Koreans hand-to-hand. And looking at the momentum of these Koreans, the trenches and thistles seem to be unable to stop them.
There are hundreds of thousands of North Koreans, and if they really enter hand-to-hand combat, the outcome will be devastating.
At the critical moment, Zhong Feng shouted loudly: "Light the flare!" ”
Two long and one short trumpets were sounded. Hundreds of long-prepared GIs walked to the front of the line and fired rockets loaded with flares into the sky.
The flares rose to the highest altitude and began to burn violently. With the support of parachutes, the burning aluminum powder and saltpeter emit a dazzling light, illuminating the land for miles in an instant.
The Northern Expeditionary military camp, which was no more than 300 meters long and wide, suddenly lit up as much as day.
The North Korean family, who were busy building planks on the trench, were suddenly illuminated by the dazzling light, and looked at the hundreds of "little suns" in the sky in amazement.
After the flares were lifted into the air, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army realized that there were a lot of North Koreans. Behind the charging soldiers, 40,000 to 50,000 sharpening Koreans bent down and hid a hundred meters away, preparing to launch a devastating hand-to-hand battle after the trench and thistle terrestris were disposed of.
However, all these delusions of the North Koreans were put to an end after the flare was fired.
The violently burning aluminum powder illuminated everything, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army could see the enemy from forty meters away.
Behind the North Korean soldiers, Park Dajing, who originally thought that the situation was promising, looked at the flares in the sky and was shocked for a moment.
What kind of means is this? It lit up a radius of several miles.
Is this something that humans can do?
Park Dajing lived to be more than fifty years old, and he had never heard of such a means in the world.
Is this Li Zhi really descending from the stars?
He opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word.
Beside Pu Dajing, Ping'an Dao soldier and horse Yuhou Jin Jingyou were already trembling with fright from the flares, and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Immortals! Immortal means! ”
The other North Korean generals were even more panicked, and the soldiers and horses of Hamgyong Province did not say a word, turned around and fled behind. As if he had seen a ghost, Zhang Huang was at a loss.
The North Korean soldiers on the battlefield looked at the flares in the sky and were stunned. They were all stunned when they were going to build a wooden bridge through the trench, and their movements stopped.
What is this thing, and how can it turn night into day?
Isn't this a night raid? How did it come to this?
The stars in the sky are helping the people of the Ming Kingdom?
They looked at themselves exposed to the bright light in panic, and looked at the Tianjin soldiers with rifles in the distance.
The GIs of the Tiger Army were not surprised by the effect of the flares, they had already seen this new equipment in training. In a suddenly clear vision, they began the massacre.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
