Chapter 303: What kind of war is this?

By noon, the location of the assault of the first natives had been determined, and they simply rushed along the coastline, so they were the first to ram into the line of defense of the teaching brigade.

The teaching brigade did not establish a fixed defense line, but adopted a flexible and mobile way, and under the instructions of the drone, rushed to the front of the enemy in advance for mobile defense, mainly exercising the actual combat adaptability of the teaching brigade.

It doesn't matter if the enemy breaks through, there are still a large number of mobile units of agricultural vehicles and trucks behind the temporary defense line to fill the holes in the defense line at any time.

The battalion that received the order first was sent to the designated place by more than 100 standard two-wheeled carriages and set up a temporary defensive line. The training battalion itself was armed with three Type 29 water-cooled heavy machine guns, three 60-mm mortars. To increase the battalion's firepower, a machine gun battery was strengthened, equipped with three 70-mm infantry guns and three Type 29 water-cooled heavy machine guns.

Each infantry squad is equipped with two double-barreled shotguns, and is equipped with two additional 40 mm grenade launchers, armed with high-explosive grenades, shotguns and newly developed dart rounds. The infantry battalion also reinforced an engineer platoon to build a makeshift barbed wire fence and lay mines for the troops.

Since the military factory developed a standard wheeled horse-drawn carriage, the logistics department of the Central Military Commission has customized several hundred of them. This carriage is towed by two war horses, and uses rubber solid tires, leaf springs, and modular member structure. It can be loaded with supplies, or it can carry five heavily armed fighters on long marches, and even a dozen fighters for short transportation in case of emergency.

More than 100 wagons arrived at the designated blocking position, carried out earthwork in platoons, and the soldiers took out shovels and pickaxes to build simple fortifications in the shortest possible time.

Although such training has been carried out all the time, but in a real combat state. The mentality of the recruits has clearly changed, and they have all become scrambling.

Fortunately, these backbones of the unit are veterans of the teaching team, and the platoon leader and squad leader are non-commissioned officers with actual combat experience. As long as the backbone of the army at the grassroots level is not chaotic, the troops will not be defeated. A group of recruits were kicking, beating and scolding the squad leader, although they looked like they were full of foreigners, but they finally completed the earthwork work.

Six wagons were loaded with Type 29 water-cooled heavy machine guns. Instead of removing the machine guns, the wagon was turned around, the heavy machine guns were placed on a fixed bracket on the carriage, and the two shooters got out of the carriage and inserted the four stationing hoes at the four corners of the carriage into the ground, and fixed the carriage firmly on the ground.

The sapper platoon jumped out of the carriage a hundred meters in front of the defense line, unloaded steel bars more than two meters long from the car, inserted them into the ground every five meters, and erected a 500-meter-long barbed wire fence, each of which was also fixed with a 45-degree steel bar support.

This is a standard military barbed wire specially developed by the military factory for the engineering unit. The main role is to defend against cavalry impacts, and this barbed wire looks thin, but the force it can withstand is not small. It also has the advantages of being easy to carry and can be quickly retracted. The barbed wire fence was still painted green, blending in with the grass on the surrounding ground, and the cavalry galloping at high speed could not see the barbed wire from a distance of fifty meters.

The engineer platoon was still behind the barbed wire, and two snakecage barbed wire fences were erected three meters apart. Twenty Russian-style pieces were set up around the perimeter of the barbed wire

MON50 directional mines. The workload of the sapper platoon was considerable, and the fighters who completed the earthwork work. They all ran up to help.

Three mortars and three infantry guns were also unloaded from the sports car by the artillerymen. Artillery positions were set up more than a hundred meters behind the defensive line. Each 70-mm infantry gun squad was equipped with a horse-drawn gun and two standard two-wheeled wagons for carrying shells and personnel. The 60-mm mortar squad had only one two-wheeled carriage.

The soldiers of the training battalion were sweating profusely on the defensive line, while the battalion commander Hao Changfeng and several company commanders were holding stopwatches in their hands, constantly recording the time when each squad and platoon set up the defensive line. Although the unit has undergone several months of hard training, it is still in such an environment of actual combat. The results are all unsatisfactory, and there is a significant gap with the usual training performance.

After intense busyness, the fighters finally set up a temporary defensive line. But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a "boom" sound in the distance, and even the ground trembled.

"Attention units. Immediately enter the position, and fire is not allowed without a password. ”

With the command of Hao Changfeng, the commander of the first battalion, all the squads and platoons entered the position, and the squad and platoon commanders repeated the things they paid attention to during the battle behind the soldiers and corrected the soldiers' wrong tactical movements. The instructor also walked among the fighters and mobilized loudly.

In the distance, more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry had already appeared in the field of vision, overwhelmingly pressing up. The leaders of several tribes immediately became excited when they saw that the soldiers of the training battalion in front of them did not even have a decent earthen fort.

"Warriors, rush over and kill them, Lord Belle said, whatever you grab when you rush in, it's your own, kill it......"

More than 2,000 indigenous cavalrymen heard the words of the leaders, and their eyes immediately turned red. They roared loudly and urged their horses to rush forward, and in their opinion, the hundreds of people on the opposite side were simply the targets of the slaughter, and the horse team might collapse as soon as they rushed.

Facing the fierce indigenous cavalry, the new fighters of the training battalion who went to the battlefield for the first time were nervous. Looking at the group of cavalry on the opposite side, they rushed towards them with a roar. Although I have been practicing hard for nearly a year, the first time I have been under such pressure, my mouth is dry and my whole body is stiff.

The indigenous cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Hao Changfeng shouted loudly: "Hold on...... Hold ...... steady"

Although Hao Changfeng kept shouting, there were still a few soldiers who accidentally pulled the trigger because they were nervous, which affected the surrounding soldiers, and a gunshot suddenly rang out on the position, making the squad leaders scold.

Fortunately, several machine guns and artillery were followed by experienced non-commissioned officers, so they did not fire with everyone. The non-commissioned officers of each squad and platoon urged everyone to reload their ammunition and repeated the content of the training syllabus loudly. This time, the new fighters are obviously much better, although the tactical movements are still in a hurry, and there are even irregular deformations, but at least they are not so flustered.

The speed of the indigenous cavalry had been raised to the fastest, and in the blink of an eye they rushed to a point about fifty meters in front of the barbed wire. The platoon commander of the engineer platoon shouted loudly: "Detonate the mine ......"

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

Several sappers turned on the power supply on the ignition device, and 20 Russian MON50 directional mines detonated almost simultaneously, 800 grams of C-4 plastic explosives, and 700 steel balls were instantly detonated. It collapsed in a 60-degree wide-angle fan.

The large steel balls that roared away flew to a height of 2 to 2.4 meters, and sprinkled into the horse team, sweeping away a piece of the indigenous cavalry that rushed to the front.

Countless indigenous cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground, and were instantly trampled into pulp by the cavalry rushing from behind. Although the cavalry behind was also frightened by this terrifying scene, the speed of the horses was too fast. Before they could react, they rushed to the front of the barbed wire.

The green painted barbed wire fence was very well concealed, and even if the indigenous cavalry who rushed to the nearest place saw it, they didn't have time to turn their horses' heads to dodge, and countless horses crashed into the barbed wire.

The barbed wire fence that had been hit by the horses had been pressed into various twisted shapes, and many places had broken open gaps or been overwhelmed. But the professionally designed barbed wire fence has been tenaciously preserved.

Although it has been transformed, it is still entangled with those cavalry. Even if there were indigenous cavalry rushing through the barbed wire. was also tripped by the two snake cage barbed wire, and the speed slowed down all of a sudden.

"Fire ......"

With Hao Changfeng's order, the rifles and machine guns of the entire defense line opened fire one after another. Shrapnel fired from three 70mm infantry guns exploded in the sky above the indigenous horse team, and countless steel balls shattered the indigenous cavalry gathered in front of the barbed wire.

The 60-mm mortar has the fastest rate of fire, and one 60-mm mortar shell after another cuts a perfect curve in the air. Constantly falling in the rear of the indigenous cavalry exploded. In an instant, the three mortars had already fired two groups of 8 rapid fire. And there are shells that keep falling behind the horses.

The soldiers of each squad and platoon also held various small arms and fired continuously. Countless indigenous cavalry were piled up in front of the barbed wire, and they didn't need to aim at all, and they could hit every shot with their eyes closed.

Each squad is equipped with two 40mm grenade launchers, all of which are selected to fire the latest dart shells.

The warhead of the dart is not buckshot. Rather, there are dozens of small steel darts, some of which are still placed upside down in the ammunition, that is, with the tail facing forward. A dart with a tail pointing forward, and when fired, the arrow will turn forward. Until the target is hit, it is still vibrating and swinging at high speed, which increases the lethality.

This kind of small dart has a strong penetrating power, and the U.S. military used its super penetration power in the jungle of Vietnam to strengthen the penetrating strike effect of jungle warfare, and there is also a long-distance attack on the opponent's cluster charge to form a surface killing effect. This kind of ammunition is very vicious and inhumane, and the human body that is shot will be pierced by a small steel arrow, which is not ordinary suffering.

Of course, the most ferocious weapons are the six water-cooled heavy machine guns. Although the rate of fire of less than 400 rounds per minute seems to be scummy in the machine guns of modern society, in this era, it can also be used as a battlefield harvester.

The frenzied strafing of the six machine guns knocked down the indigenous cavalry piled up in front of the barbed wire fence layer after layer, and the cooling water of the heavy machine guns had already been boiled, but fortunately they had prepared several buckets full of cooling water in advance.

What kind of war is this, it's simply a massacre, a massacre of Chiguoguo......

In a short period of time, more than 2,000 natives were beaten all over the field by the dense firepower in front of the defensive line. Countless cavalry piled up in front of the barbed wire, they were crowded together, and in a short time they could not disperse at all, and in front of the barbed wire there were layers of corpses. Only the natives at the back of the caravan turned their horses and fled from the place of death that made them desperate.

Hao Changfeng stood in a carriage. Looking at the battlefield with binoculars, he shouted at the mortar position behind him: "Fire tear gas canisters and seal the rear of the indigenous cavalry for me." ”

The three 60-mm mortars were fighting happily, and when they heard Hao Changfeng's order, they hurriedly changed the ammunition type. Tear gas bombs smashed into the rear of the indigenous horse team, and the pungent breath that rose up stopped some natives and war horses who wanted to escape from here.

The slaughter continued, and in the face of such a ferocious firepower density of the teaching battalion, more than two thousand indigenous cavalry was really not enough. At this point, the recruits of the training battalion did not have the initial fear, but became more excited.

At the end of the battle, the indigenous cavalry threw down more than a thousand corpses in front of their lines, and only a few hundred escaped. There was a lot of blood around them, and many recruits looked at the layers of corpses in front of them, and they couldn't control it, and began to vomit constantly. (To be continued......)
