Chapter 645: A Nameless Little Man
The instructor's head was buzzing with the sound of a violent explosion, and suddenly he felt a numb in his arm, his mind was blank, his hands and feet were shaking so badly that he couldn't even stand up, and then sat on the ground.
After a "whoosh" in front of me, a grenade-like object fell into the bunker where the instructor was. The sparks on it were still flickering, and the instructor was startled when he pointed at the grenade.
The mouth swelled wide, but he couldn't shout anything, so he could only keep "Ah! Yes! Ahh The soldier next to him who was scolding immediately rushed over with a loud shout and lifted the grenade.
Then, he threw it back to the outside of the earthen wall, but to his surprise, the grenade was actually thrown back immediately after the lush outside, and the grenade had not exploded yet.
This soldier generally plays the role of "blue army" in the rear of the Huaxia army, so that the soldiers of the Huaxia army can have a general understanding of the Houjin army before going to the battlefield, so he is not too proficient in these firearms.
The soldier didn't even know how to step on the fuse, but he just threw it out again according to the inertial thinking of people, and finally, this time, the grenade was not thrown back again, and exploded directly outside the wall with a "boom".
The soldiers of the Lushun armed garrison who assisted in the defense here also began to fight back with grenades, and the grenadiers who had been specially trained in bombing were all very developed in arm strength, and the grenades fired back as if it were raining.
The grenades with Martian Zi kept shuttling back and forth in mid-air, and explosions kept occurring above and below the earthen wall, and the Chinese soldiers on the Lushun defense line occupied a certain advantage as the defending side.
And there are also those Furlong cannons and their own rifles that were bought from the Ming arsenal around them, which are also providing strong fire support at the same time.
The soldiers of the Houjin Army were constantly knocked to the ground, and then the primordial grenades that had been ignited would fall in front of them and explode, and these improvised primordial gunpowder weapons were extremely unreliable.
Some of them burned so fast that they exploded in their own hands before they could throw them out.
And some burned too slowly, so slow that it was almost heartbreaking, as if a primitive grenade flew back and forth on the earthen wall several times without exploding, and the two sides were as terrifying as playing a death game of drumming and passing flowers.
The grenades of the Huaxia Army and the primordial earth mines of Houjin exploded one after another, and at most five or six explosions rang out at the same time, and the sound of the explosion simply shook the entire Lushun defense line.
In this environment, the soldiers on both sides hurriedly got up from their resting places one by one and watched from a distance this magnificent battle like fireworks in the middle position.
The instructor from the Political Department of the Ministry of War was also unlucky, he had not caught up with any decent battles when he was serving in the combat unit before, but now he was sent to the front line when he was serving in the Ministry of War.
Moreover, at the beginning of the battle, he hid behind the defensive line, but inadvertently participated in the first grenade battle between Huaxia and Houjin, and it happened that even the herald was not by his side.
But that earthen grenade was thrown back and forth so many times and didn't blow up on his side, it should be said that it was lucky enough, so it is really difficult to conclude that luck and misfortune are entangled.
In such a grenade confrontation in the dark night, the Huaxia army also lost a lot of people, the earthen wall was already full of wounded riflemen, and the rotating troops on standby behind the earthen wall also suffered a lot of damage.
Fortunately, when defending here, the Huaxia Army was relatively loose because the rifle rate of fire was much higher than that of the Houjin Army, and there was no formation of a queue to shoot as if it was being shot, as long as the earthen grenades were not thrown into some special positions, it was basically impossible to blow up too many people at one time.
The reinforced special service platoon had already quickly rushed to the earthen wall, and then, on the orders of the officer, began a continuous salvo at the front position.
A special service platoon has about 50 gunners, and each gunner can fire eight consecutive shots in a short period of time, and the firepower of one platoon of theirs is comparable to the firepower of a salvo of a battalion.
It's just a pity that because of the slightly complicated manufacture and maintenance of pump-action rifles, especially maintenance, this rifle can only be equipped with elite troops.
Moreover, because the smelting technology is not up to standard, the pump-action rifle cannot shoot continuously for a long time, so that although this rifle can be comparable to the salvo firepower of a battalion in a short period of time, the sustained firepower of the firepower is far less than that of a regular infantry battalion.
With the salvo fire of the special service platoon to stop the enemy troops, the armed garrison was able to safely begin to drop grenades in front of the position, and after they stabilized their position together, the combat engineer company also rushed from behind and quickly entered the breastwork position under the earthen wall.
They used their short rifles to shoot at all the moving figures, and after this multi-pronged operation, there was no way to throw many of the primordial grenades on the Houjin side. Under the suppression of the powerful firepower of the Huaxia Army, the people who forcibly threw the grenades instead blew up their own people around them.
These Houjin soldiers were also flanked by the surrounding piers and field artillery, and under so much firepower, their morale quickly collapsed, and they turned around and fled to the defensive line where they were sitting.
The instructor of the Political Department finally relieved himself at this time, and he patted the back of the one in front of him who was blocking him, and the Yehe warrior had been protecting him with his body just now, which made him very moved.
The soldier felt the call behind him, and quickly turned around and helped the instructor: "Sir, let me help you back to the city to rest." ”
"No, no, although I am from the military department, since I am staring at the position of the instructor, at this time, I must do a good job of propaganda and mobilization, appease the soldiers, and let them not panic."
This special instructor suddenly held his head high at this time, ordinary people should be excited in the war, but he only had that excitement after the war.
With this momentum, he stood up violently and walked around, praising the warriors who had fought bravely in the battle just now, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was here.
After a while, Zachdan hurried to the scene, and he called the company commander stationed in this section of the line with a group of staff officers and officers, and everyone held a captured primitive grenade, and several people gathered around to discuss.
The instructor thought that as a special commissioner sent by the Political Department of the Ministry of War, he was also a company-level political worker, so he should be able to come over and listen to it together.
