Chapter 646: Counterattack and Abatai's Scheme
When all the officers present had gathered around Zakdan, he listened to the company commander of this section of the line, holding a primitive grenade that had not exploded from something thrown down by the Houjin army, saying:
"I've seen it just now, this primitive grenade has about a dozen bird's guns of lead, and it's also filled with a few taels of gunpowder of varying weights, and the most important thing is that the lead of this thing is not very good, and it is easy to get into accidents."
Zachdan only understood the enemy's methods for a moment and ignored them, but immediately asked, "How are our casualties?" How many fighters were killed? ”
"The suppression of our army's firepower has a very good effect, so most of the soldiers who were killed and injured were only wounded, and only a dozen soldiers were hit in the head by lead and died here.
These casualties were mainly concentrated in the early stage of the battle, when the battle was sudden, and I didn't expect the Houjin army to use grenades, plus the initial Houjin army's grenade throwing accuracy was not bad, so there was a certain commotion.
Later, after the suppression of our army's firepower began, the action of the soldiers of the Houjin Army throwing grenades became very chaotic, and most of the grenades thrown from behind exploded on their own heads. ”
Zachdan said fiercely: "The Tartars failed in this sneak attack, and the losses of the personnel with yellow flags who launched the attack will definitely not be less, immediately send a company of combat engineers, and two more spy platoons to launch a counterattack as soon as possible, and we must teach the Houjin army a lesson." Do you have any comments on this arrangement? ”
"The commander arranged it very well, the headquarters has been here just now, and seeing those Tartars who participated in the night attack, it is indeed a heavy loss, and it is a good time to counterattack at this time."
The political workers sent by the Political Department of the Ministry of War made a conciliatory sentence, the content of which was completely unnutritious, but he knew that these words could let the officers present know that he was present at the time of the battle, which was to make a name for himself.
Zachdan nodded faintly at him, and gestured to several officers around him to carry out the order, and everyone immediately left to organize a counterattack.
The fires behind the earthen walls of the Lushun Line were lit, the auxiliaries and medics kept carrying the bodies of the wounded and martyrs, and several platoons of the combat engineer company put up wooden planks on the trenches and quickly entered the dark barrage area.
The counterattack can start at any time.
The political workers sent by the Political Department of the Ministry of War also achieved their goals, and before, he had not participated in battles on the front line, and his lack of qualifications and other reasons made him unable to rise to the top in the political department of the Lecture Hall.
This time, he finally had a real combat experience, and although he didn't have any good performances, he was able to call his head to see what he was doing on the front line.
Now that it's all over, he's going to go back to the city right away to get some rest, he's really suffered a serious psychological trauma tonight, and he needs to go back to repair his mind.
Of course, what kind of psychological repair and the like, he just understands a rough idea, this is the professional knowledge taught in the lecture hall, and he does not have the qualifications to learn.
The psychological repair he needs is actually to go around Chen Xin and make a covert invitation, so that his future future will be brighter.
The plan went well, and he met Chen Xin on the second rammed earth wall, who had rushed to inspect the battlefield in the dark after hearing the sudden and dense explosions on the front line.
He hurriedly greeted him excitedly, found Chen Xin's adjutant, and after getting permission, approached Chen Xin's side, and recounted the fierce battle just now.
After listening to his obviously exaggerated report, Chen Xin did not debunk him, but patted the other party's shoulder in an encouraging attitude.
But after the hand was slapped up, Chen Xin, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, suddenly felt that something was wrong, put his hand back in front of his eyes, looked at it by the firelight, and hurriedly asked, "Are you injured?" ”
"What injuries?" The other party obviously didn't know it, and reached out to touch his arm, which was obviously stained with a lot of blood, "Ahhh After a long scream, he fainted decisively.
About 20 minutes after the end of the night attack launched by the Houjin army, a round of night fighting suddenly broke out on the earthen wall where the yellow flag was stationed on the opposite side, and the grenades used by the Huaxia army in the night battle were still the protagonists of this counterattack.
In addition to grenades, a large number of explosives such as blasting canisters, explosive packs, and 10,000 enemies used by the combat sappers can burst out much louder than the sound made by the Jin army before and after.
In the midst of this continuous blasting sound, thousands of Houjin soldiers who had just rested were awakened again.
The officers on both sides also urged the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance again, and the continuous flashes of fire from the yellow flags made the battle seem very fierce.
The attack by the Combat Engineer Company sent out by the Lushun Line lasted less than 10 minutes, and they did not force themselves to cross the trenches of the Houjin Army, but simply attacked once, causing some explosions, and destroying some of the enemy's fortifications, and then quickly retreated.
Abatai himself had been standing about 30 paces behind the earthen wall, and beside him was a torch, and the light of the fire was reflected on his face, and there was no joy or anger at all.
This distance is outside the range of the short rifles of the Huaxia Army, and within the direct range of the bows and arrows of the Houjin strong archers, and the earthen wall can also well cover the firepower of the Huaxia Army on the opposite defensive line, which is one of the most suitable areas for activity summarized by the soldiers of the Houjin Army.
Bronn looked at Abatai and said in a low voice: "Master, in our battle tonight, the movement is really big, I'm afraid that all the people in Lushun have heard it." ”
"Otherwise, what am I going to do with the gunpowder of those Laoshzi in Wuzhen Chaoha, just with those few Niu Lu under our hands, it is impossible to break into the opposite defense line anyway.
However, as long as we make a lot of noise, I will be able to talk to the old fourteen. It's a dozen today, and tomorrow it's time for us to go down and rest.
Have you noticed, Kong Youde's dog thing has hardly moved for so long, and the Jurchen flags have already complained, and the top of our cattle records is also in line with everyone's intentions. ”
Bu Long sighed deeply, and said in a tone full of frustration: "It sounds strange, our Jurchen nobles who are serious will also have such a day, and now they can't even compare to Kong Youde's Han dog, and they have to rely on this kind of deceitful bastard method to save their lives." ”
