The timing for the two artillery batteries to fire was when most of the machine guns needed to change drums. The power and scene of more than twenty artillery fires once again made the puppet detachment leader refresh his understanding.
Dozens of flames and debris from the explosion flew in the air, along with pieces of flesh and blood and broken limbs.
Once the artillery fires, it never stops, just like the previous rain of bullets that never ends.
However, this time it was a hail of shells.
For the cavalry sprinting with all their strength, it only takes ten seconds to cover a distance of 500 meters. However, in these short ten seconds, these puppet cavalry disappeared like waves hitting the rocks in an instant.
Only a handful of the cavalry in the front line could rush within 200 meters of the mercenary regiment's position, but they stopped there. The dense horse traps caused their horses to suddenly whine and fall to the ground while galloping.
The ground, and then the figures of the riders dancing wildly in the air.
Of course, what greeted them was not only the horse pit, but also countless rifles and submachine guns calling their names one by one. 200 meters is a death line that cannot be broken through at all. If you rush over, you will die, if you don't rush over, you will die. These fake
Jun cried in despair.
"What the hell kind of army is this? Even the most elite personal guard of the commander-in-chief did not have such powerful firepower." This was the last question the leader of the puppet army had before he was sent into the sky by a heavy mortar shell.
As for the brothers of the mercenary group, although they were confident in themselves, the previous formation of thousands of cavalry rushing in was too scary. Even the veterans who had killed countless Japanese soldiers were a little nervous.
But now, I see that the enemy cavalry that was so powerful before was instantly transformed into rabbits running around on the grassland under the attack of the mercenary group's machine guns and artillery. Even the advantage of the mercenary group's precise shooting of rifles and the power of submachine guns
Before it is fully exerted, the enemy no longer poses any threat.
At this time, they further realized how powerful their team and tactics were. The Japanese army and cavalry were nothing compared to the powerful firepower of the mercenary group.
My troops are truly invincible, and some soldiers even blushed because of their nervousness just now.
Half of the more than 3,000 puppet cavalry fell in less than a minute. The puppet cavalry in the rear no longer had the guts to continue charging. Those who reacted quickly hit their horses and fled to the rear or left and right.
What's slow is that you don't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment, and you just stare at the scene in front of you in a daze.
However, the artillery and machine guns of the mercenary regiment will not stop. Those in the middle and rear of the cavalry formation are naturally the focus of the artillery, while those in the front are the primary targets of the machine guns.
Every moment, people and horses screamed and fell to the ground, and every moment, artillery shells exploded among the cavalry groups. The sky was filled with whizzing bullets and rain of artillery shells. It was as if the world was huge, but these puppet troops were no longer there.
's place of refuge.
A few minutes later, only a few hundred people finally escaped from the fire coverage of the mercenary group. Before they had time to thank God for their kindness, they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
"Run away! These murderers are really going to kill them all!" Some puppet soldiers cried.
Only then did these puppet soldiers remember that they had previously regarded them as horse bandits. Since they were horse bandits, how could they not have horses? No cavalry?
The five to six hundred puppet soldiers who had been frightened to death and peed their pants did not even have the courage to look back. They could only cry and beat their horses and run away.
escape?
Where can they escape to now?
A frightened child will only want to escape into the arms of adults to gain comfort and security.
The frightened soldiers will only think about escaping to their own large troops and to their commanders.
In their minds, it is the only place where they can get some sense of security.
It is said that after Li Shouxin dispatched the cavalry, his officers shouted and scolded him, and finally managed to gather the scattered infantry into two regiments, and then Li Shouxin personally led them towards the north.
At this time, no matter how experienced he was and how cautious he was, he would never have imagined that most of his more than 3,000 cavalry would be annihilated by horse bandits within a few minutes.
Therefore, he did not adopt a battle formation, but instead came to the battlefield in a marching formation after gathering.
However, as he walked, he heard that something was wrong, and his expression changed accordingly.
What are you doing? Are you setting off firecrackers during the New Year?
How could there be such dense sound of machine guns? How could there be so many machine guns?
Always cautious, he immediately ordered his adjutant and several personal guards to ride horses to investigate, while he subconsciously slowed down his marching speed.
Just because he still can't believe that this is the sound of machine guns, and because where did so many machine guns come from? How could the horse bandits have so many machine guns on this grassland?
There is another reason why this traitor, whose military qualities are fairly good, made some misjudgments.
If the mercenary group used Czech and Maxim machine guns, as a veteran in the army, he would be able to tell, even the British Lewis and French Hotchkiss machine guns, as well as the Japanese crooked machine guns.
You can also make a rough judgment.
But he had never seen or heard of the mg-13 machine gun.
Before the emergence of the German mg-34 and mg-42 general-purpose machine guns, the mg-13 machine gun was the fastest-shooting machine gun in the world.
A fast rate of fire means the gunfire is very dense.
Just like the mg-42 machine gun that later had the fastest firing rate of 1,500 rounds per minute, the sound of gunfire it produced could no longer be described as dense, but an almost continuous hissing sound, like tearing cloth or electricity.
The sound of the saw later became known as the "German tearing machine" and "Hitler's chainsaw."
Therefore, the firing rate of the mg-13 machine gun of 750 rounds per minute must make the sound of the machine gun different from that of other machine guns, and there are such a large number of them. This made Li Shouxins suspicious, so his reaction was half slow.
shoot.
After he heard the continuous explosions, he finally realized that he had encountered something serious.
He would hear the sound of machine guns wrongly, but he would definitely not hear the sound of artillery. Just listen to the dense cloud-like explosions, and the number of artillery pieces is a bit scary. There are probably dozens of them.
Then, the sound just now could only be the sound of machine gunfire.
The opponent actually has so many machine guns and artillery, and his cavalry troops are in danger.
At this point, supporting cavalry was a joke, and Li Shouxin immediately realized that his infantry was also in danger.
