Chapter 415: The Battle of Turning Around 6

Mobile reading

Ruan Mingfang reacted very quickly, or when the gunfire of the northerners on the opposite side had just sounded, he knew that something was wrong, so he turned around and ran, his position was far away from the angle of the machine gun, and he was the first to run away, and he was not in a group with the others. In the case of a machine gun, he does not waste bullets at a single target unless it is particularly important, and the machine gunner will only greet people in crowded places, especially on the flanks, and can sometimes even knock over two or three people with a single bullet, so he is especially cared for by the machine gun. Nguyen Minh Fang's run naturally drove his soldiers to flee, facing the invisible enemy in front of them, they gave their backs to the enemy, allowing the riflemen of the Northern Army to easily harvest their lives.

As for Russell, he had already led his dragoons to charge very high, and when the dragoons in the front shouted that there was an ambush, he turned his horse's head and beckoned his men to retreat. The best way for their cavalry to deal with an ambush is to break through first, and only to retreat to safety before making the next move. Russell's horse was the best horse of choice, at the moment it was four-hooves like the wind, carrying silver armor, he crossed the top of the slope like a wind, and fled towards the anticline, the front end was the woods that the northern army had passed through when they lured them before, as long as they escaped the woods, they also escaped the pursuit of the northerners, so no matter how difficult the woods were, he fled with his cavalry.

The machine guns on the hill on the left are still firing fiercely, and the people who operate the machine guns are not the Northern Army, but several special reconnaissance team members brought by Ma Xiang, who are already proficient in operating all the weapons produced by the Senate during training, and most of the weapons of other forces are also involved. Since the machine guns sold to the Northern Army were only delivered yesterday, even if the training began immediately, and the soldiers of the Northern Army were incomparably smart, it would not have been possible to carry the guns into battle today. In addition, the monitoring of the water level of the water tank of the water-cooled machine gun, the loading of the machine gun feed plate, and most importantly, the stable shooting required a lot of time to train, so no matter how big Ma Xiang was, it was impossible for the soldiers of the Northern Army to operate the machine guns, and the special reconnaissance team members would operate the machine guns.

However, since this gun was intended for the Northern Army after all, they were given an honorable and difficult task - loading bullets. The two Type 1628 water-cooled machine guns were fed by a feed plate, and as the production of metal fixed ammunition increased, these machine guns switched to 12 mm metal fixed ammunition. But when the bullets leave the factory, they are directly packed in wooden boxes, and the bullet supply plate is also produced by a special hardware factory, and the bullet needs to be loaded into the bullet supply plate before it can be fired, this kind of work is not demanding but very cumbersome, whether it is the special investigation team or the soldiers of other military units, they are all full of complaints about this kind of work. Of course, no one will be happy with this kind of work, and you will be exhausted by a few shots after you load it for a long time, so when you get here, the arduous task of loading bullets is given to these soldiers of the Northern Army.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Northern Army did not experience the frustration of pretending to be a few points for a long time, on the contrary, they were excited to see the southern Yankees who had beaten themselves before and lay in wait for a hundred steps under the rapid coverage of the bullets they loaded. The machine gun was still firing fiercely, the special investigators held the handle of the machine gun tightly with both hands, held the trigger, the weight of the machine gun was originally very large, and now with the addition of more than ten kilograms of cooling water, the weight is only heavier, and the heavy machine gun base eliminates a large part of the recoil. The muzzle of the machine gun was spraying thick smoke and flames, and the pressure relief hole of the cooling pipe next to the muzzle was spraying water vapor outward, and the faces of the machine gunner and the ammunition feeder next to him were already blackened with gunsmoke.

"It's so cool! I've never been so comfortable playing! The machine gunner said with a smile while shooting at the soldiers of the Confederate Army who were still gathering in a pile on the battlefield and fleeing backwards, while the ammunition feeder next to him kept sending the ammunition supply plate into the ammunition supply slot with his hands and feet, and said in the same loud voice, "Yes! But this was a surprise to them, and if they had known that we had such a weapon, it would not be so easy to fight. ”

"I don't know what's going on over there, Chief!" The machine gunner's eyes always remained on the enemy on the battlefield, and he didn't notice Ma Xiang's previous position at all, and the bombardier looked at Ma Xiang's position before, but at this moment the battlefield was in a mess, and he couldn't find where Ma Xiang was.

The current Ma Xiang is actually out of danger a long time ago, and there was nothing to do when he lay down before, and the soldiers of the Northern Army who were aiming in the rear directly overturned a large number of soldiers of the Southern Army who were closest under the command of the special reconnaissance team in charge of training. With the lifting of the threat of chasing soldiers, Ma Xiang did not plan to follow the example of Mel Gibson in "The Patriot" to immediately lead a counter-charge, and he was not interested in raising the flag or anything at all, because there were already soldiers of the Northern Army rushing out with handsome flags, and at the same time, the war drums were loud, and the soldiers of the Northern Army who beat the drums did not know where to use their whole body strength, and they all threw their brains on the war drums, beating them loudly.

Rushing out with the standard-bearer were hundreds of sword and axe men holding refined weapons made of steel in Dongfang Port, the weapons in their hands all reflected the cold light, and the strength of their fleeing when they were shot by the Southern Army was swept away, and at this moment they rushed forward one by one, rushing towards the panicked soldiers of the Southern Army who fled backwards with their weapons in a panic.

A large number of them were hit by machine gun or rifle fire, and were either dead or lying on the grass with their wounds in their arms, while others turned around and ran backwards, completely ignoring the orders of the officers and the pleas of their comrades. Only a small number of infantry battalion soldiers, under the command of the officer, formed a firing formation to shoot at the soldiers of the Northern Army who rushed over to shoot and intercept. If it was only in the previous battle, their courage could indeed stop the offensive of the Northern Army, and even possible to break the will of the attackers, but now the forces of the two sides have reversed, and the Northern Army not only has a more powerful and accurate Senate rifle, even if they are not proficient in operation, they can still pose a threat to the Southern Army at the same distance. With the exception of the Senate rifles, the remaining threat came mainly from the machine guns on the hills.

The threat of machine guns is actually far greater than artillery, artillery is mainly for the enemy has a great deterrent effect, now the artillery is mainly used solid bullets or shotguns, the former is a cannon to smash all the way, what to hit to cause lethality, at best it is just a super-large caliber smoothbore gun, although the latter can cause damage to cluster targets through a large number of shotguns, but there is a great distance limit. But the machine gun is different, the power of the machine gun is first strengthened by rifling, the shooting distance and power of the bullet are quite large, what the southern army can not bear now is that such a powerful weapon can be fired continuously, crackling and hitting down like a shotgun has been shot everywhere. Moreover, the machine guns of the Northern Army were particularly tricky, and whenever they saw the soldiers of the Southern Army gathered in groups of three or five, they would greet them and beat them so that they either turned on their backs or turned around and ran. After being specially cared for by the machine guns several times, the soldiers of the Southern Army finally gave up resistance completely and concentrated on escaping, and now they have also learned not to get together, and when they see their own people running next to them, they will naturally run to the side, so as not to be given priority by the machine guns because of the pile.

Ma Xiang, who had been frightened by the momentum of the cavalry charge before, now had no previous embarrassment, carrying a revolver in his left and right hands, and rushed towards the top of the slope with a large group of riflemen. In order to prevent people from identifying himself as a Chinese veteran, he even changed his clothes into the same coarse cloth short coat as the Northern Army, but he was still wearing multi-pocket trousers on his legs, because most of the soldiers of the Northern Army had no pants to wear at all, and they often found a piece of cloth to wrap or simply did not wear them, which Ma Xiang could not adapt to. Not only him, but even the Annan special investigators he brought with him insisted that they would definitely wear long pants, and the woods and meadows were full of all kinds of parasites, and blood-sucking insects such as mountain grasshoppers and locusts could crawl into them even with tightly wrapped clothes, and if they didn't wear long pants, it would be a walking lunch. Not only trousers, but they also could not accept the habit of most of the Northern Army not wearing shoes or straw sandals, and insisted on wearing their canvas waist leather boots. "Chinese" have long been accustomed to a life without being bothered by parasites, and they will definitely pay attention to their health at all times.

"Throw away your weapons and kneel to avoid death!" With the shouts of the soldiers, many soldiers of the Southern Army who could not run had already given up resistance, threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, shaking their hands at the soldiers of the Northern Army to indicate their surrender. "Go to the woods empty-handed!" Ma Xiang shouted at them loudly, many of those soldiers of the Southern Army were already able to understand the "Chinese official language", but they felt incomprehensible to the order to let them walk over by themselves, so they were not afraid to run away by themselves?

"Get out of the way we are going! We don't have time to take you prisoner! Go and surrender yourselves! Zhao Siwen, who was beside Ma Xiang, hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Southern Army, "Go away!" Get out of the way! ”

The soldiers of the Southern Army who surrendered were extremely embarrassed at the moment, and they were still arrogantly pursuing the Yankees before, but they were beaten by the Yankees in the blink of an eye, and now they don't even want to surrender to others, and they have to hurry up and get out of the way, these two different circumstances make them hate to dig a hole and bury themselves.

"Let's go! It's good that they didn't beat us to death. One of them whispered, and the captives did notice that, after they had lost their weapons, the machine guns had not concentrated their fire on their side, but had been firing on the other side of the gentle slope for a while. At that moment, they were no longer entangled, and hurriedly gathered together and walked towards the woods below.

"Quick! Go and collect the wounded! "Hundreds of soldiers of the Northern Army rushed out of the woods, they had neither knives and axes nor rifles, all of them were carrying stretchers in groups of two, and when they saw the captives coming by themselves, they hurriedly shouted at them. The captives took a closer look, and the people at the head were all wearing Chinese-style pants and boots, and it was obvious that the Chinese soldiers were just wearing a layer of Yankee clothes. The men beckoned to the captives, "Two in two, one stretcher in one group, quick!" ”

The captives took the stretchers that had been handed to them in a bit of a daze, and ran forward with the men, and those who were lying on the ground turned over for examination. The leader of the group was still shouting, "Pile up the dead over there!" If you are slightly injured, you can walk and go to the edge of the woods! There's a help station there to treat your wounds! If you can't walk, you'll have someone come and carry you! But don't play dead! We can't save us if we play dead! ”

The Southern Army had long heard about the Chinese's preferential treatment of prisoners, and now when they heard the shouts of a strong "Chinese accent", they naturally raised their hands one by one and called for help to the rescue team, and for a time the gentle slope here was full of people calling for help. Some of the soldiers of the Southern Army, who had pretended to be dead, also got up, raised their hands and surrendered to the medical personnel who came, and then were soon incorporated into the rescue team.

Ma Xiang now has no time to manage the treatment situation in the future, and his primary goal now is to solve the resistance that may still exist in front of him. Although it is said that the main force of the Southern Army has been defeated, there are still some dead corners on the battlefield that cannot be hit by machine guns, and the Southern Army is stubbornly resisting, and even a dozen or so people can still exert quite strong combat effectiveness, and once beat the northern saber and axe men who rushed forward to turn around and run.

"Don't rush! Don't rush! Ma Xiang scolded his mother in his heart, "What are you using the rifle for?" There's a rifle and a charge! Hit him from a distance! ”

The enemy of the department and the enemy of the party hated to take the lonely finger sail test

The soldiers of the pursuing Northern Army suddenly realized at this time that they were used to fighting with real knives and guns before, and now they were holding rifles in their hands and using them as burning sticks. With Ma Xiang's awakening, the soldiers half-knelt down and began to hold the Senate rifle and pull the trigger on the soldiers of the Southern Army in the distance.

The soldiers of the Southern Army were unlucky, although their muskets could produce power at this distance, but they could not beat the Senate rifles, and the most terrible thing was that the Senate rifles were loaded faster than their new muskets, and they couldn't run away for a while, and when they were desperate, they heard some of the soldiers shouting, "Don't fight!" We surrender! At the same time, some soldiers of the Southern Army had thrown their muskets in their hands.
