Chapter 987: Machine Gun Roaring
"Are the Russians crazy?"
On the wall of Lingwu County, Bai Shang looked down at the battlefield.
After discovering the unusual actions of the Northern Di and the Russians on the flanks, he frowned.
These days, the Russians have never taken the initiative to participate in the war.
At this moment, the Russian soldiers abnormally followed the Northern Di cavalry to attack the two wings, and they looked very tenacious.
"The Northern Di are desperate, but the Russians are just using the Northern Di as guns. There is no need for them not to fight, and I believe that the Russian generals can see that the Northern Di are doomed to fail." Huo An analyzed.
After a pause, he said, "So, now they are back to the drawing board, there must be a reason, and the reason is..."
"Machine gun!" Bai Shang and Huo An said almost in unison.
During the battle of Yizhou, when the battle was going on, the Russians had actions that could seize their muskets.
This situation was reported to the generals by the soldiers.
But the generals had no choice, after all, sometimes close combat could not be avoided.
Now, I'm afraid the Russians want to repeat the same trick.
"They wishful thinking." Bai Shang snorted coldly, "Let the machine guns they want to snatch teach them a lesson!"
After that, he immediately ordered the eight groups of machine gunners on the city wall to go to the flanks.
The first three rows of trenches had been taken down at this time, and there was no need to set up machine gunners on the city wall.
After receiving his order, the machine gunners immediately went to the flanks under the protection of the infantry and joined other machine gunners.
At the same time, they also brought Bai Shang's order.
The machine gunners on the left and right wings immediately stopped firing at the trenches and handed the trenches over to other troops.
They gathered fifteen machine guns on each wing and lined up in a row facing the charging Beidi cavalry.
Some infantrymen knelt on one knee between the machine guns, loaded their bayonets, and aimed at the front. The soldiers in the back row stood and aimed.
"Boom boom boom..." A distance of 500 meters is just a short distance for the cavalry.
After a few breaths, the cavalry approached a position of 300 meters.
At this time, the machine gunners pulled the trigger one after another.
"Da Da Da..." Fifteen machine guns spewed out flames at the same time.
Bullets flew out of the muzzle one by one and shot at the cavalry galloping over.
Fifteen machine guns were enough to fire three thousand bullets in one minute.
The dense barrage formed by the interweaving immediately showed its terrifying power.
The charging Beidi cavalry seemed to have pulled the rope at the same time, and the front row of cavalry fell down in unison.
Some cavalry, both people and horses, were hit by more than a dozen bullets at the same time, and blood burst out of their bodies.
While the machine guns were shooting, the rifles were also shooting.
However, in contrast to the machine guns, their shooting seemed dispensable.
"Da Da Da..." The sound of the machine guns continued.
The cold winter provided the best cooling environment for the barrels, allowing them to maintain long-term shooting.
Under the sweeping of fifteen machine guns, the Beidi cavalry was blocked at a position of about 300 meters.
The subsequent Beidi cavalry continued to replenish, but to no avail. They could not break through the dense rain of bullets formed by the machine guns.
The soldiers of Dasong looked at the cavalrymen who kept rushing over and falling down.
At this moment, the Beidi cavalrymen who had once made Dasong shudder were so fragile in their eyes.
In front of the machine guns, these cavalrymen seemed to be sending themselves to death, while they were like slaughtering chickens and ducks.
Some soldiers looked at the machine guns and swallowed their saliva. They envied the machine gunners.
"Bang bang bang..."
The machine guns fired again, and after the last batch of Beidi cavalrymen fell down, the soldiers suddenly heard a burst of gunfire from the opposite side.
They lay down instinctively after being experienced in many battles.
It turned out that without the cover of the Beidi cavalry, the Russian soldiers were exposed.
After shooting at them, many Beidi soldiers lay behind the dead Beidi war horses to avoid.
"Ding ding ding..." The machine gunners were also attacked.
However, the bullets fired at them were all blocked by the iron plate in front.
Looking at the Russian soldiers who relied on the Beidi war horses to shoot at them, the machine gunners were neither anxious nor impatient.
They no longer continued to shoot as before, but aimed at the Russian soldiers and fired in bursts.
Other soldiers also lay on the ground and fired at each other.
However, after firing a round of bullets, the Russian soldiers fell into an awkward situation.
They had to reload before they could continue the battle.
And to reload, they had to stand up.
However, they immediately stopped worrying about this matter.
Because they had to worry about the shells falling from the sky.
While the Russian soldiers relied on the Beidi war horses to dodge, the artillery of the Central Army and the Xuanwu Army adjusted the muzzle.
One by one, howitzers crossed the curve and fell to the position where they were hiding.
The shells exploded in the pile of corpses, raising blood and flesh all over the sky.
The Russian soldiers had nowhere to hide and could only be bombed.
While the artillery bombarded the Russian soldiers.
While the Russian soldiers were busy dodging shells, the Dasong soldiers behind the machine guns immediately charged forward in a scattered line.
When the soldiers approached the opponent 50 meters, the artillery tacitly stopped the shelling.
At this time, some of the charging soldiers pulled out grenades and threw them at the Russian soldiers, while others continued to charge forward.
The Russian soldiers had already suffered heavy losses from the bombs.
Now the Dasong soldiers came in front of them again.
They were shot one by one without time to reload.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Russian soldiers behind ran towards the Beidi camp.
