Chapter 996: If you fall behind, you will be beaten

Zhao Guan held the binoculars and looked nervously at the Mongolian Tartar opposite, although the other party was a little confused, but there was no sign of leaving. But the opposition is regrouping, and the next attack will definitely be stronger.

Time is passing minute by minute, Zhao Guan is also constantly looking at his watch, picking up the microphone from time to time to talk to the airship in the air. The situation was much the same in the other blocking position, where the Mongol Tartars on the opposite side were actively preparing for a larger offensive and possibly a larger offensive.

Ten minutes later, the array of Mongol Tatars on the opposite side was finally integrated, and with the sound of desolate horns, the attack of the Tatars was about to begin.

Zhao Guan excitedly gave an order: "Attention to all detachments, listen to my command, concentrate all the firepower in the machine-gun position, and let me get closer before fighting...... Mortar artillery positions, shoot out all the shells, and try to kill and wound as much of the enemy's living forces......"

At this time, the Mongol cavalry on the opposite side moved, and this attack threw all its strength, and the attack area was wide, and the cavalry cavalry attacked in units of a thousand. In order to reduce the lethality of firearms in the Far East, each cavalryman kept a distance between them as much as possible.

Zhao Lianhe and his comrades-in-arms around him saw that all the Mongolian Tatars on the opposite side had participated in the attack, and rushed up like a sea of mountains. Such a tremendous momentum has brought tremendous pressure to the officers and men on the blocking position.

"Bang...... Bang ......"

Bursts of muffled sounds came one after another, and more than a dozen 60-mm mortar guns opened fire. Winding ballistics sliced through the air, and then smashed into the Mongolian Tartar horses.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Every explosion caused a lot of damage to the Mongolian Tatars. Moreover, the rate of fire of a dozen mortar guns was extremely fast, and an eight-round rapid fire was completed in an instant. Several artillery officers stood on their horses, holding binoculars, according to the impact point of the first salvo, began to correct the trajectory and instructed the gunners to adjust the position of the mortar % guns. Immediately came another eight-shot rush shot.

Although the more than a dozen 60-mm mortar guns behind the blocking position are not very powerful, they can exert very great power in the face of a group charge of large-scale cluster targets, and the rate of fire is extremely high, and the impact point can be quickly adjusted. The swift firing was carried out again and again, causing great casualties to the Mongol Tatars.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

Bursts of intense gunfire came, and more than 20 water-cooled heavy machine guns also fired, using crossfire to spray countless hot sub-bullets, forming an insurmountable rain of bullets in front of the blocking position.

The battlefield harvester is not for fun, the Mongolian cavalry rushing to the front, like cutting leeks, was swept off the horse layer by layer. Whether it is a war horse or a Mongolian tartar, as long as it is hit, it will instantly turn over on its back and be trampled into meat sauce by the horse team that gallops later.

Even if a few fish slipped through the dense net, they would be swept off their horses by double-barreled hunting guns and 40-millimeter grenade launchers. Fell in the area of a hundred meters in front of the blocking position.

Pieces of steel balls and nails are even more ferocious. They are all in a fan-like state, overwhelmingly fighting, as long as they are hit, they will instantly make a cavalry lose their combat effectiveness, and then they will fall to the ground, and the next fate can be imagined.

Although the Mongol Tartars threw in all 20,000 cavalry this time. A desperate assault was made on the blocking positions of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, but it was impossible to break through the ferocious fire network created by the 6th Cavalry Brigade.

In this era, even the most ferocious Mongol cavalry faced a blocking line consisting of a dozen 60mm mortar guns, more than two dozen water-cooled heavy machine guns, and more than a thousand double-barreled shotguns and grenade launchers. can only pay for senseless casualties, and sigh with joy.

This is completely a collision of two eras, the primitive war horse riding and shooting, facing gunpowder and steel, destined to face the end of being eliminated.

In 1893, in a war between the British army in Rhodesia in South and Central Africa and the local Mactabilis-Sulus, in one battle, a British force of more than 50 people repelled dozens of charges by more than 5,000 Machin heavy machine guns and killed more than 3,000 people.

On August 21, 1860, in the Battle of Bali Bridge, Seng Lingqin led tens of thousands of elite Mongolian horse teams to face more than 10,000 Anglo-French troops equipped with breech-loading flintlock guns and smoothbore cannons equipped with bayonets, resulting in a great defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and heavy losses, and the Anglo-French army only lost a dozen people.

The Mongol cavalry of the Anglo-French army after the war was highly regarded, and Paul Valan wrote in his "Chronicles of the Expedition": "Chinese and the Tatars, known for their courage and composure, were particularly outstanding in the final stages of the battle...... None of them retreated, but all of them died in the line of duty."

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, this is an eternal truth.

It cannot be said that the Mongol cavalry was not brave, it can only be said that the opponents they faced were too far ahead of this era in their weapons. The scimitar, the horse bow, which was invincible in the past, almost conquered the entire world, and swept across Europe, but in the face of the fierce firepower of the Far Eastern Army, it seemed so powerless.

The Mongol Iron Cavalry's group charged, which lasted only a few moments, collapsed. In front of the blocking position, there were layers of war horses and the corpses of Mongolian cavalry, and in the face of fierce modern weapons, the losses of the group charge were even greater, and it was simply a collective suicide.

A large number of Mongol cavalry turned their horses and fled in all directions, and they were already frightened by the powerful fire of the Far Eastern guns.

The massacre continued, how could more than 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry escape here at once, more than a dozen 60 mm mortar guns and more than 20 water-cooled heavy machine guns continued to fire, and the rain of shells and bullets continued to harvest the lives of the Mongolian cavalry.

And the chaotic cavalry crowded together, which also caused a lot of stampede and fighting, in order to escape from here, they desperately swung their swords and slashed, hoping to kill a bloody way, and countless people died under the scimitars of their own people.

But they tried their best to break out of the encirclement, and when they wanted to rush out of the mountain pass, two behemoths suddenly appeared in the sky above the mountain pass, and threw iron cans one after another, and a large amount of smoke came out after landing, and the mountain pass in the distance was instantly shrouded in thick smoke.

A large number of Mongolian cavalry reined in their horses, stared at the two huge airships in the distance in amazement, and set off a storm in their hearts.

Immortal God...... Could it be that the gods descended from the heavens?

A few Mongol cavalrymen did not believe in evil, and suddenly rushed towards the mountain pass in the distance, and the others hesitated for a moment, and followed behind them. But before he could rush into the thick fog, he was hit by the twin heavy machine guns behind the airship pod. (To be continued.) )
