Chapter 956 Perfunctory
The artillery of the Indian army gradually stopped, while the artillery of the Chinese army began to sound.
They don't have many mortars, only 20.
In the case of sufficient shells, the rapid-fire firepower of 20 mortars is actually very fierce.
But now the Chinese army's artillery shells need to be used sparingly, and the artillery has to be aimed at the point.
These 20 mortars are only used for a little consumption.
Anyway, the Indian army was not greatly affected. They formed a skirmish line, relying on some bunkers or bomb craters on the road, bending forward.
If they can provide some cover fire and cross advance, then the scene will have a taste of modern warfare.
However, even the very primitive means of attack brought trouble to the Chinese army.
Enemies no longer queue up stupidly, they need to aim to kill enemies, and most of the time the enemies are on the move or behind cover.
"Damn it, these monkeys have become smarter."
Liu Liangdang cursed, he missed two consecutive shots and missed the target.
At this time, the machine gun is still reliable.
As soon as the Indian soldiers raised their heads, a shuttle of bullets swept over, leaving the Indian soldiers with nowhere to escape.
"Get closer and hit again."
Zhao Ping shouted.
Putting the enemy closer before shooting is naturally easier to hit and can save bullets.
However, this also creates greater danger for the defender.
The grasp of the middle distance requires the experience of the officer to judge.
Zhao Ping's military literacy was average, he didn't guess that the Indian army was feinting and wanted to consume their bullets. He just felt that the enemy's offensive didn't seem violent enough, and he was still under control when he brought the enemy a little closer.
The firepower of the Chinese army has weakened, and the assault troops of the Indian army are naturally happy.
"rush."
The Indian army officer shouted.
Those mid-level officers all knew that this was a false attack, but if there was a chance, it would be great to be able to attack, and it could even be said to be a great surprise.
The soldiers of the Indian army also felt the weakening of the firepower of the Chinese army. Although they didn't understand why, they felt that this should be a good thing.
After receiving the charge order, these people accelerated the charge speed and reduced some concealment.
After they rushed closer, the firepower of the Chinese army returned to the normal level.
All of a sudden, those soldiers who were still charging all fell down one after another. Then, these people hurriedly searched for a bunker and fired at the Chinese army.
Today, they also use breech-loading rifles, although they are poor in terms of performance, often malfunction, and the accuracy is terrible.
However, this is a serious breech-loading rifle after all, which can pose some threats to the Chinese army. The muskets of the past were like fire sticks in front of the Chinese army.
"Keep running."
The officers of the Indian army are still not satisfied with the current situation. The firepower of the Chinese army has always been at a normal level, and there has been no such situation as full firepower due to panic.
At this rate of consumption, it would take a long time to consume the bullets of the Chinese army.
The Chinese army can drag it, but they can't.
Therefore, the officers of the Indian army gave the order to charge again.
When the order to charge was issued again, the soldiers of the Indian army could only bite the bullet.
And on the next section of the road, there were no bunkers for them to hide in, and they were all cleared by the Chinese army.
This section of the road can only be rushed up by speed.
They rushed for a short distance with their heads up, and the Chinese army opened fire with full firepower.
There is no need for an officer to order. When the soldiers see the enemy rushing out, they know that this is a general attack. At this time, they must not think about saving ammunition.
In the shortest time, the best choice is to shoot the most bullets.
A large number of Indian soldiers fell down in an instant, and the Indian soldiers behind saw it and quickly shrank back.
It's terrible, that's not a charge, it's simply death.
Charging troops with semi-automatic rifles head-on without cover fire is pretty stupid.
The tragic casualties forced the Indian army to keep a distance from the Chinese army.
The commander in charge of the first wave of attack looked at the Dahua watch on his wrist, saw that the time was up, and immediately ordered to retreat, and a new batch of troops came up.
At present, in most countries and regions in the world, the military system is still in the feudal era.
That is to say, the soldiers are loyal to their respective officers, and then the officers are loyal to the king, which is similar to the military system in the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of military system will bring about an unavoidable problem, that is, the officers in power like to preserve their strength.
The troops below are the source of their power, and they will not easily go all out.
The disadvantages of this system are very serious, the combat effectiveness is poor, and it is also prone to rebellion.
When Wu Changqing began to expand the army, he directly deprived officers of the right to recruit troops and controlled their salaries.
Aurangzeb of the Mughal Empire logically started much better than Wu Changqing, but he didn't realize this harm, or he didn't have enough courage to break this situation.
Therefore, for the reform of the army, he just blindly built new weapons, and nothing else changed much.
At this time, the disadvantages of this backward military system were revealed on the battlefield.
The general in charge of the first wave of attack never thought about it
If you want to fight to the death, you just want to stay until the end of the time, then clock in and get off work, and then sit aside, expecting other troops to consume with the Chinese army, and then go out at the end to pick up the bargain.
The general has no determination to conquer the mountain, and the soldiers are even less likely to.
As soon as they heard that they could retreat, the soldiers ran faster than rabbits one by one.
The high ground, which was originally quite lively, became quiet in an instant, making the Hua army a little confused.
Immediately afterwards, the second wave of Indian troops began to appear, slowly approaching the Chinese army.
Those who attacked in the second wave were not stupid. Seeing that the people in the first wave were just doing things half-heartedly, they were even more unwilling to go all out.
They just want to pass this time, and the actions are naturally all kinds of procrastination.
This is excellent news for the Huajun.
If the enemy attacks without gaps, it will also be a challenge for the Chinese army.
This kind of mentally tense battle can easily make people tired.
If there is no rest and continuous combat, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention people, even guns are more likely to be damaged in such a high-intensity battle.
"It feels like these people aren't here to fight a war."
A Chinese soldier muttered something.
"Hahaha, you are still too young."
A company commander laughed.
He is a veteran, a real veteran, who has experienced many periods such as Ming, Dashun, Qing, and Dahua, so he is very familiar with the phenomenon of the Indian army.
This is exactly the same as the army in the Ming Dynasty.
This scene is too familiar to him.
