Traveler Major League

Chapter 278 Collect some tolls

A bullet penetrated into the shield, but it did not stop. It passed through the cowhide covering and the wooden texture in the middle. The debris combined with the steel bullet and penetrated the cloth armor. It sprang out from behind the human body, and the bullet tumbled with a belt. There was a bloody hole as big as a bowl.

There was silence all around. The Eight Banners soldiers who were attacking at night seemed to be unaware and still ran forward. According to their experience, the firecrackers were slow to reload, so they could win if they rushed over.

But this time they were disappointed.

Even the firing of rifles and sniper rifles alone caused their death and injury rate of three hundred people to increase sharply. While the darkness concealed their figures, it also concealed the tragic number of their casualties.

After rushing through the bonfire area dozens of meters in front of the position, the survivors realized that their number was less than fifty.

The originally silent night attack team shouted one after another, turned around and retreated into the darkness, throwing away weapons, shields, and armor, just to escape faster.

Cui Nengwen also stopped what he was doing, held his breath, and silently observed the collapsed soldiers on the opposite side through his night vision goggles.

Only then did He Qun come to his senses, with a hint of excitement in his voice, "Jiannu escaped!"

"Keep shooting!" Duan Jingzhong jumped up.

The enemy's reaction was no slower than his. After the gunfire rang out, several smart men who immediately lay down on the ground to avoid the shooting ran desperately to the death line 500 meters away. The small group's counterattack order was limited to 500 meters. Within meters.

"Cui Nengwu, kill that official hiding behind the tree stump!"

Several rounds of tracer bullets shot past, guiding the direction.

Although it violated the previous order prohibiting the use of rifle grenades, it was Duan Jingzhong's order, and Cui Nengwu agreed without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Ten seconds later, there were two explosions, and a cloud of blood mist exploded from the target location 10 meters away. The killing radius of the anti-personnel grenade was 30- meters, and hiding behind a tree stump was not immune.

This person had long been targeted by Duan Jingzhong, and the deceased's dress was obviously one of the commanders of the night attack.

While He Qun was still taking aim, Cui Nengwu had already begun to use grenades to harvest the enemy troops who were hiding in a tight corner and were difficult to shoot.

Cui Nengwen continued to be as steady as a mountain, his body motionless, and the muzzle of his gun continued to search for the target.

"Cui Nengwen, beat those who are riding in front!" Duan Jingzhong replied.

"Copy that!" Cui Nengwen replied. Snipers like them were better at accurately shooting cavalry on horseback while trying not to harm the horses.

Duan Jingzhong smiled and said: "You still have some use value! Do you remember what you said before the war started?"

Cui Nengwen finally ceased fire. He half-knelt on the ground outside the trench, shot an enemy to death, and killed more than ten people in a row. He glanced at Cui Nengwu. Cui Nengwu had already put down his sniper grenade and was watching intently with his night vision goggles. On the other side, he had to save ammunition, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough.

Cui Nengwen said: "Captain, I will complete the mission."

Cui Nengwu heard the sound, turned around and asked, "Ah?"

Cui Nengwen looked like he was going to beat him, but he just gestured to him and returned to the trench. The mission he said was actually to become the sniper of the special forces team who accurately killed the most enemy troops, while ensuring his own safety. Next, he was so excited that he jumped out of the trench just now.

Cui Nengwu smiled and looked at the swarm of ants. He knew what the captain meant. The enemies they were targeting were not just these Eight Banners soldiers with different weapons, but armies with better equipment in the third world.

Even target shooting must be done according to modern world tactics.

Looking around, there were corpses of enemy soldiers everywhere under the hillside. The bullet casings flew out of the ejection window. One magazine was quickly emptied and replaced with a new one, and then everything returned to calm.

Less than a hundred people escaped from the night attack party, and most of them were cavalry.

Huang Taiji stared intently at the gunfire and explosion in front of the distant defensive position, overlooking the thin front line from a distance. On the miles-long front line, there was no sound of drums or horns, only the sound of gunfire. Accompanied by a burst of 'lost, defeated! 'The cry of light and darkness formed a sharp contrast and was overwhelming.

Elite, absolutely elite!

Huang Taiji looked around and saw a group of cavalry running towards him in the distance.

"Emperor Namutai is here." The guard reminded.

"Tell him to get over here!"

The distant position gradually fell into calm, but even from two miles away, the chilling atmosphere could be felt.

Huang Taiji was also a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. He could tell at a glance that the fighting methods of this civilian army were different, and their momentum was better than the army he had seen before.

Huang Taiji suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and the perseverance he had honed over many years of battle returned. He winked at his consort Namutai, who was kneeling on the ground to plead guilty.

"Great Khan, our army, our army..."

"Don't talk about other things. If you lose, you lose. Tell me, how many people were killed? Let's be happy, don't hide it."

"More than four hundred."

"What?" Huang Taiji turned around. He was defeated just by looking at the scene of a few cups of tea in the distance. He knew he was defeated, but he didn't know it was such a tragic defeat. Four hundred of the five hundred elite forwards died. Time for a few cups of tea.

The prince-in-law Namutai apologized, knelt on the ground, and begged, "Hey, the firearms of this bandit army are really amazing! Their firearms seem to be able to fire continuously, and they are extremely powerful, even with two layers of heavy armor. Coupled with the shield, it can be penetrated! Dahan, we have to be careful."

Fan Wencheng and others also comforted Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, I see that the people's army's formation can only be defended. The infantry is strong but there are no cavalry. The artillery and guns in the army's formation complement each other. They are impregnable, but there are also flaws."

"Tell me about it." Huang Taiji said.

"It's better to leave a group of cavalry to surround and not attack, and my army will go straight to Ningyuan City to repair it."

"This place must be home to the elite main force of the people's army. If it loses the advantage of the terrain when it goes down the mountain, I will attack with fine cavalry and we will definitely achieve success."

"The enemy is at Shanhaiguan right now. I hope the Great Khan will learn from it."

Huang Taiji nodded. Fan Wencheng's words were exactly what he wanted. However, this elite group of less than a thousand people still left a shadow in his heart. "Emperor Namoutai violated military law this time. Logically speaking, he should be executed, but I think he should be executed." For his military exploits in the past, I will give him twenty lashes and lead a thousand cavalrymen with blue flags to surround this bandit army. This time, we can't make any mistakes. Son, I will kill you without mercy!”

"Thank you Khan for your grace!"

With the sound of whipping, the shadow of the forward's frustration began to cast over the senior Eight Banners who were watching the battle. Everyone knew deep down in their hearts that if the people's weapons were so sharp and their combat effectiveness was so strong, then their good days in the past twenty years might be at stake. It's over.

There are only about four kilometers of flat ground passage through which baggage can pass. The middle position occupies two kilometers, and there is only one kilometer of open space on both sides for passage.

According to the experience of Huang Taiji and others, such a wide distance is enough to pass through the army. After all, judging from yesterday's situation, the People's Army weapons have a maximum range of 500 meters, so in the early morning the army was divided into two teams and passed through the edge areas respectively, so that the distance between the hill positions was The nearest distance is 900 meters away.

Duan Jingzhong smiled slightly when he saw this situation. The place he chose was extremely stupid. The purpose of limiting the shooting distance yesterday was the same. He looked at the neat queue in the distance and the cavalry 800 meters away who were warning them to rush out of the position. The intercom finished its tone, "Ready the vehicle-mounted machine guns, prepare the rifle grenades! There is no need to hold back this time. Since Huang Taiji wants to bypass us, let's collect some tolls. We can't just watch here!"

"Every unit prepares according to the predetermined shooting range!"

The first Eight Banners soldiers have passed the edge of the position, and the farthest point is nearly one kilometer. The troops and baggage vehicles at the rear are still flowing in a steady stream.

"Fire!"

With an order, all the heavy firepower began to pour in this 2.5-kilometer length, spreading the shadow of a few Eight Banners senior officials caused by the failure of the night attack last night to the entire Eight Banners Army.
