Jilin General Mingliang, the commander of the Qing Army's Ningguta Camp, received the sentinel report on April 8. When the Northern Navy arrived at the military station in Dongning Village, the Qing Army's checkpoints along the way began to light up smoke alarms.
On April 25, the leading troops of Liu Sheng of the Northern Navy finally arrived at a location thirty miles west of the old city of Ningguta, and exchanged fire with the Qing army's scout troops.
This time, the Northern Navy dispatched two regiments and two battalions, plus logistics and transportation troops, totaling 8,000 people. It is not difficult to defeat the 15,000 Qing troops in Ningguta Camp. The infantry assaults in the front and the artillery behind them
Just bomb it indiscriminately.
This time Zhao Xin asked Liu Sheng and Fan Tong not only to defeat them, but also to capture more prisoners.
It is said that the current recruitment ratio of the Beihai Navy is already high enough. It would be a waste to leave tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and civilians unused. Moreover, since occupying Linggao Jinshan, Zhao Xin is not very interested in grabbing meat tickets to exchange for money.
Fan Tongtong took advantage of his free time on the road to flip through the military information on his headband, draw pictures, and set up formations. After Liu Sheng heard about it, he came over to take a look out of curiosity the first day, but he looked at it expressionlessly.
After a while, he turned around and left.
A few days later, Fan Tong took a stack of plans he had written and excitedly told Liu Sheng that we could use "intersection" and "outflanking" to completely annihilate the Qing army on the east bank of the Hulha River.
In order to show respect, Liu Sheng patiently finished reading it, but he only replied with eight words: "Whimsical and self-destructive."
How could Fan Tong accept such an answer? He reluctantly pulled Liu Sheng to give him an explanation. He made this plan based on reading seven or eight war-related books and relying on the "
Obtained by "absorbing nutrients". He saw the discipline and marching ability of the Northern Navy, so why couldn't they penetrate and encircle it?
Liu Sheng actually liked Fan Tong, a fat man, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let him be his deputy. After having had enough excuses, he said to Fan Tong: "I know your plans are all based on the classics in those books."
The battles were copied. But Xiao Fan, those battles are called classics precisely because they cannot be copied!
Moreover, the feudal society of the Central Plains dynasty used troops in the plains to fight in large formations, with strong camps and clear echelons. In this case, artillery bombardment is enough. What kind of fun is this? Fighter planes must be in the battle.
Discovery cannot be preset.”
"But Zhao Xin asked us to capture more prisoners..."
Liu Sheng said disapprovingly: "If we defeat them, we will naturally have prisoners. If we come up and engage in intersecting operations, once the Qing army notices, they will be surrounded by heavy troops. No matter how fast our soldiers run, can they be as fast as war horses?"
Fan Tong thought for a while and said: "Then we break through head-on and look for opportunities to divide and encircle?"
"Yes! This is called bullying. We have to fight head-on and look for opportunities in the battle! Otherwise, how do you think we captured Fu Kang'an in the first place?"
On the other hand, at the Qing army's camp, General Jilin Mingliang's heart was in his throat ever since he knew that thousands of people from the Northern Navy had arrived. He knew very well that the guns of the Northern Navy were extremely sharp, and if he stuck to the camp, he would definitely be beaten.
share.
So he ordered Dai Senbao, the deputy commander of the Mongolian flag of Zhengbai Banner, and Bobin, the deputy commander of the Manchuria Xianghuang Banner, to lead the musketry cavalry battalion of 3,000 people. He asked them to delay the action of attracting the Northern Navy and lead the opponent's main force to the center of the battle line.
Do not fight in formation to avoid bombardment by North Korean naval artillery.
At the same time, he ordered two people, Shuo Yunbao and Wan Ting, the commander of the escort army with a white flag, each leading a thousand archers and shotgun soldiers to outflank the navy on the left and right flanks of the north, and attack with cold arrows in the hilly forest.
, forcing the North Navy's troops to move closer to the center.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers entered the trenches dug in advance and waited. If the North Navy came up and opened fire, the soldiers in the trenches would move to the north and south ends of the trenches to avoid damage from the artillery fire and go around to the wings of the North Navy to annihilate them.
The deputy commander of Ningguta, Na Qitai, hurriedly sent someone to check how much silver and ginseng leather goods were in the warehouses in the city. At the same time, he ordered his men to keep an eye on the merchants who opened shops in Ningguta City.
They are not allowed to leave the city.
"Why use guns and cannons? If you are short of money, just send someone over and say, make an appointment and I will send it to you!" Na Qitai stood on the gate of Ninggu Pagoda, looking nervously to the east.
The busy Qing army camp was muttering.
The assistant leader behind him was transferred from Sichuan and had never seen the power of the Beihai Navy. Looking at Na Qitai who was talking about him, the assistant leader wondered if this person was possessed by a demon?
Only a few thousand people came from the Northern Navy, but there were tens of thousands on the other side of the river; besides, there were more than 20 Yaksa warships on the Hulha River, and the cannons on them were not ordinary!
After a while, the Qitai Goshiha ran up to the tower, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, every merchant in the city has been sent to watch, and all four gates have been cleared. No one can get out!"
After hearing this, the assistant leader transferred from Sichuan exclaimed: "The deputy governor has great foresight! If the army on the other side of the river does not have enough food and grass, these businessmen can also donate enthusiastically."
"Yes! Yes!" A group of assistant leaders and assistant leaders around them praised in unison. How could they not pat the horses now?
Na Qitai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "This time Zhao Thief's redemption fee should be enough!"
Others don't know how powerful the Beihai Navy is, but he knows it best. The gunnery demonstration by the Beihai Navy under Ningguta City two years ago made him often dream about it at midnight, and he would wake up sweating profusely.
In the early morning of April 27, the Northern Navy began to dispatch, with two battalions of the First Regiment of the Northern Navy as the vanguard, advancing towards the Qing army camp thirty miles away.
One kilometer behind the First Regiment were the columns of the Second Regiment and the Fifth Regiment that were covering the advance of the artillery. The artillery was arranged in the middle of the Second Regiment and the Fifth Regiment. This time Liu Sheng brought ten 75mm field guns newly built in Beihai Town.
Artillery, the maximum range of this thing is only 6,500 meters, and there are not many artillery shells made in the arsenal, with a total of just over 400. As for the 82mm mortars deployed in each regiment, the maximum range is only 3,000 meters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to prevent the Qing army from escaping to the other side and the reinforcements sent by Ninggutacheng, the artillery position cannot be set up six kilometers away from the Qing army camp. It needs to advance all the way to
A location two kilometers away from the Qing army's front line would work.
In order to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks from both wings, the two regiments detached a battalion of troops and deployed firepower groups in ranked units on both wings of the column.
"Sir, the bandits are attacking!"
"Oh? How many people are here?"
"There are several hundred people, but the bandits opening the way ahead are all in twos and threes, spread out widely."
After hearing this, Dai Senbao rode up to the mound with his own soldiers. He took the telescope handed by Goshiha and looked eastward. In the distance, he saw the Northern Navy wearing grass-green military uniforms dotted in the wilderness, almost all in three colors.
People work in groups and move forward alternately.
"The rebel army is so stupid that they actually dare to arrange their troops in such a formation?" Dai Senbao couldn't understand. He estimated that there were about a hundred people in the Northern Navy walking in front.
At this time, the third-class guard Saninga beside him said: "Sir, the last general is willing to be the vanguard. I only need two hundred people! This traitor is too arrogant and must be taught a lesson!"
Dai Senbao pondered for a moment and said: "Even if the thieves have sharp firearms, they are simply seeking death by spreading their troops out like this! I will give you five hundred soldiers, but you must kill them for their majesty!"
Thanks to the unremitting basic teachings of these veterans from Wang Yuanfang, the Beihai Navy strictly followed the "three-three system" infantry tactics. The leading company of Pan Xiucheng's regiment set up several regular triangle advance formations in the wilderness; each squadron
They can fight independently or cooperate to cover. In fact, the North Korean Navy's tactics are simple, direct and crude, cover, attack, cover again, and attack again.
Dai Senbao and Saninga had no idea what kind of monster they were facing. They mistakenly thought that relying on the attack of cavalry, they could encircle and annihilate the scattered formation of more than a hundred people in front of them.
"Squad leader, look, the enemy is out!"
Ma San, a former veteran of the Qing Army and now squad leader of the Second Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Northern Navy Regiment, saw a Qing Army cavalry with flags waving emerging from behind the hills a mile away. His face was full of disdain and he loudly ordered: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
In fact, after the First World War in Fuldan City, not all Qing prisoners were willing to go back. In the end, after screening, more than 300 people were left, and Ma San was one of them. At the beginning of last year, Ma San was
He performed well in the construction team and was recruited to join the Northern Navy. The reason why he was willing to join the army was because of the food and fifty acres of land from the Northern Navy.
Because of the long-term and sustained training methods, these Eight Banners Musketeers transferred from Ili still use the same old mounted and archery tactics; that is, they carry out intensive attacks in small waves, and stop firing or wait until they are 100 to 80 meters away from the target.
Archery.
Don't underestimate the bow and arrow shooting of these Tianshan Banner Camp soldiers.
In the Qing Dynasty, "force" was used as the unit of bow pulling force, and one force was nine pounds and fourteen taels. The drawing force of Sauron's war bows was basically more than eight force, and eight force was ninety-three kilograms, which is put on modern bows and arrows.
That's over 104 pounds.
Is a man who can lift ninety pounds with one hand using his waist and back a strong man?
As a veteran of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Ma San was well aware of the power of bows and arrows on Sauron's cavalry, so when the Qing army's cavalry was still 200 meters away from the Beihai Navy, the rifle in his hand opened fire first, and then the squad's light machine guns also started firing.
At the same time, the two squads behind Ma San and others also moved closer and joined the battle.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Ma San saw that several horses in the Qing army's cavalry were shot, and he cursed angrily: "These losers! You can't see such a big living person? Those are all good horses!"
A soldier next to him shouted: "Squad leader, the enemies are lying on their horses, so we can only hit the horses!"
Ma San kept firing and said, "What a pity for these horses!"
Sanin'a had a very good idea. He divided the five hundred men into two groups, one to lure the enemy from the front, and the other to outflank the enemy from the flanks. The two hundred men from the front were spread out widely, and they were all lying on horseback, even
There were also many outstanding men who came to hide in stirrups. With their riding skills, even if their horses were injured, they could quickly break away from their horses and launch an attack as infantry.
A company with three platoons and nine PKM light machine guns formed a 90-degree fan shape and fired continuously at the Qing cavalry in an alternating manner. However, the most effective weapon against cavalry was heavy weapons, so the Qing soldiers outflanked
The army horse team was getting closer and closer. When they were a hundred meters away from the right wing of the North Navy, their horse speed suddenly increased and the weapons in their hands began to fire.
"Boom, boom, boom" muskets roared, and streams of white smoke rose up and dispersed from the cavalry. The cavalry behind them could not see clearly, so they had to rely on instinct to shoot out the arrows in their hands.
Without the support of the trenches, there were casualties in the area where Ma San was. Several soldiers who were standing and shooting were knocked to the ground by arrows shot out from the smoke. They fell to the ground in pain and screamed at the top of their lungs.
.
"Follow me!" the platoon leader shouted to his men. Seven soldiers rushed to the right front of Masanban Squadron, squatted down, raised their guns and fired at the smoke. Once the bridge clip was fired, it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the bullets hit very fast.
.
The third-class guard Saning'a, who was responsible for leading the outflank team, took the lead among the charging Qing troops. He curled up on the side of the saddle and held a Yanling knife in his mouth. Suddenly, he felt the body of the war horse tremble under his crotch.
The horse's head tilted to the left, and he suddenly knew something was wrong. He pressed the saddle and jumped out. At the same time, he raised his hand and handed the knife to his right hand.
He rolled on the ground a few times, stood up with a knife, and ran while shouting: "Kill them all!"
At this time, hundreds of cavalrymen had already rushed past him on both sides. They were holding bows and arrows and nail guns, leaving a trail of afterimages. Saninga quickened his pace and rushed towards a North Korean who was raising his gun to shoot.
"Fix the bayonet!" As several veterans shouted, some of the Northern Navy soldiers who had run out of magazines and had no time to load the ammunition quickly threw out their bayonets with cold gleams under the muzzle.
However, without the support of heavy weapons and a large number of automatic weapons, infantry armed with semi-automatic weapons simply cannot suppress a large number of cavalry. Single-shot shooting weapons are ineffective against fast-moving targets. This is why the First World War in another time and space
European countries still retain large numbers of cavalry troops, and the Cossack troops in Tsarist Russia still use spears when charging!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two sides collided quickly. No matter how fierce a person was, he could not collide with the war horse. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Northern Navy soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The Qing army on horseback held a hard birch bow and kept firing arrows at the lone Bei Haijun. The one-meter-four-meter-long plum needle arrow was extremely powerful when fired at close range. It could directly nail the Bei Haijun wearing cotton-padded clothes to
On the ground.
The people in the leading company kept shooting, dodging, shooting again, and dodging again. Several light machine gunners no longer lay down, but stood up with their guns in hand, running and firing continuously. The Qing cavalry
Their eyes were red with bloodshed, and as the horses kept getting shot and whining, some people simply jumped up from their horses and started fighting with the nearest North Korean navy soldier.
Ma San's squad had been scattered. While dodging the galloping horses and the whizzing arrows, he kept pulling the trigger. Ten bullets were gone in the blink of an eye. Just as he was firing
He had an empty magazine and was fumbling for the bullet bag on his chest when Saninga, who was running over with a knife, saw him and struck him with the knife.
As a former Qing soldier, Ma San knew that life and death on the battlefield could be fought in an instant. He subconsciously held the gun in both hands to block. He only heard a clang sound, and the head of the Yanling knife struck near the bolt of the gun.
A small opening was opened, and Ma San's arms were sore from the shock, and he took two steps back.
Saning'a didn't give his opponent a chance to breathe at all. He kneaded himself and went up again, holding the knife in both hands and raising it, and shouted another heavy blow. This time, although Ma San blocked it, not only his arms, but also his legs were changed.
Feeling sore, he sat down on the ground. At this time, the sword light struck again, and he didn't care about the rifle without bullets. After throwing it away, he kept moving his hands and feet, and fell back.
Seeing that the blade on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, he suddenly felt his hand touch something. The feel was so familiar, and he picked it up without thinking, holding it firmly with both hands and pushing it forward.
Poof! A bayonet with a cold light penetrated into Saning'a's abdomen. He immediately screamed, holding the barrel of the gun with one hand, and continued to sweep the knife forward with the other hand. Ma San's fingers at this time
Having already touched the trigger, he pulled it without thinking.
Bang! Bang! The third-class guard Saninga fell to the ground immediately.
Ma San was wheezing and panting. Although the few moments just now were just flashes of lightning, when he stopped now, he felt sore and weak all over. But what he didn't know was that more than 20 meters away from him, there was a man on horseback.
The Qing army was raising their bows and arrows and aiming at his back.
Suddenly, continuous gunfire rang out from the left side of the Qing army. More than a dozen people on horseback were shooting with bows and arrows. The Qing army was instantly knocked off their horses, including the Qing army who was about to fire arrows at Ma San.
Reinforcements from the two companies behind the Beihai Navy arrived. All weapons, including more than a dozen machine guns, launched intensive fire at the Qing cavalry whizzing past the battlefield.
Standing on the mound, Dai Senbao and others were quite satisfied at first, thinking that although they suffered a lot of losses in this battle, they would definitely win. However, when they heard the gunfire that was as fast as a thunderstorm, their expressions suddenly changed.
