Kowloon wins

Chapter 916 Battle of Wudaogou ([-])
"Secret position one turn seven, one eight three..., each cannon is ready, fire!"

Xiao Zhenshan gave an order, and the two light infantry artillery companies that were bombarding the Junggar Department did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly adjusted their muzzles according to the secret positions reported by the company commanders. The camel wall had reached the distance of only 150 steps from the formation of the Qing army. The wild posture really made people tremble. Even though all the soldiers of the Qing army were veterans who had seen blood, they couldn't help it There was a commotion.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just when all the soldiers of the Qing army were shocked, the light infantry guns of the two companies were finally adjusted in place. As the command of the two company commanders sounded, eighteen light infantry guns fired at the same time. A shell roared through the sky and smashed heavily into the caravan. In an instant, there was a huge explosion. Eighteen red and black mushroom clouds rose up, and countless shrapnel flew in all directions. Dang even made the running camel team into chaos.

"Machine gun, hit me!"

Although the camel team was in chaos, the Junggar soldiers riding on the humps were extremely brave. They desperately controlled the remaining hundred camels, and rushed towards the Qing army's array, but the formation scattered, Without the aura of moving like a wall before, even so, if these camels were to rush into the formation, the losses of the Qing army would definitely not be too small. Seeing this, Xiao Zhenshan dared not Taking it lightly, he roared and gave the order again.

"Da da da……"

With a general order, amidst the frantic sound of the horn, more than a hundred machine guns lined up at the front of the artillery position immediately started firing again, and countless bullets were drawn towards the rushing camels like whips of fire. The dozens of camels rushing to the front were whining, but even so, only a dozen of the camels that had been shot a lot fell down. Although the rest of the camels were bleeding all over their bodies and their speed had dropped sharply, they were still alive. While wailing, they rushed forward—it wasn't that the machine guns in the hands of the Qing army were not powerful, it was because the camels were too big. Unless they hit a vital point, it would be difficult to kill them with a single shot.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Although the results achieved by the machine guns were not great, they successfully slowed down the charge speed of the camel team and bought enough time for the artillerymen to adjust. With the re-firing of eighteen light infantry guns, the camel team was finally supported. They were constantly scattered, and after paying the huge price of nearly [-] camels dying tragically on the spot, the remaining [-] or so camel riders did not dare to fight anymore, and fled from both sides of the battlefield in disorder.

"Fire, fire!"

Although Junggar's camel team was dispersed, it managed to buy time for its own artillery to advance. Although due to the continuous bombardment of the Qing army's [-] anti-aircraft artillery, a total of more than [-] artillery pieces were lost. , but still nearly half of them succeeded in advancing to a distance of about [-] steps from the Qing army's position. A Junggar general in command ignored the shells whistling down beside him from time to time, and roared at the top of his throat.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The gunners of the Junggar army moved according to the order, and lit the guide ropes on the artillery in disorder. More than [-] shells roared out unevenly, pierced the sky, and smashed towards the Qing army's position. Small, but it's a pity that the accuracy is not very good, and only three shells have achieved results-two smashed into the infantry formation of the Qing army, killing and wounding more than [-] Qing soldiers on the spot, and one One fell in the empty space of the Qing army's artillery position, and the shrapnel flying around injured two Qing army gunners. As for the other artillery shells, most of them fell far away from the front of the Qing army's array. There is no effect at all, and there is nothing else. The artillery of the Junggar Army is only four relatively new artillery pieces eliminated by the Russian Army. In addition, it was fired hastily, so there is no threat at all. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the poor training level of the Junggar gunners.

"Drumming!"

When the Junggar artillery showed such power, the Junggar infantry phalanx that had been behind the camel team burst into cheers immediately, and a Junggar general who was in charge of commanding the team immediately took advantage of the situation and stopped drinking.

"Dong dong dong..."

As soon as the drums sounded, the Junggar soldiers, who had been running wildly, immediately moved after hearing the order. They lined up neatly in four formations while marching, and braved the hail of bullets from the Qing army, and began a desperate forward pressure, even though people in the queue were constantly being shot. Killing on the spot, the pace of advancing was still non-stop, and in an instant, he had arrived at a distance of less than [-] steps in front of the Qing army formation with the beat of drums.

"Fire, fire!"

Seeing that the matchlock gun was within the effective range, the Junggar general in charge immediately roared.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

At the command of the general, the Junggar soldiers lit the guide ropes on their guns one after another, aiming at the Qing army array and shooting randomly, but unfortunately they were not very accurate. Although the momentum was not small, the results of the battle were not too great. Nearly [-] matchlocks The volley of guns only killed and injured more than [-] soldiers of the Qing army. On the contrary, more than [-] soldiers were killed by the fierce firepower of the Qing army. At this time, there are only more than [-] left in the Thousand Junggar Army, and this number is still decreasing. Nothing else, the firepower density of the Qing Army is too high. Under such circumstances, the Junggar army is obviously not an opponent.

"The cannons are not allowed to stop. The second army marches up, blow the horn, and let the first army charge!"

The Junggar army not only received arms aid from the Russians, but also received relevant training from the Russian army. They all carried out the drills of the Russian infantry, but they learned it well. The problem is that the masters of the Russian army were not the masters of the Qing army. The opponent, let alone the half-baked Junggar Army, saw that the battle had only started for a short while, and nearly half of our first infantry team had been lost. After giving several orders, the horns of the Junggar left-wing formation sounded continuously, and the 2000 remnants of the Junggar infantry's first formation, which was struggling to shoot at the Qing army's array, immediately rushed up, braving the Qing army's attack. There was a hail of bullets, shouting and galloping forward. At the same time, the second infantry formation of the Junggar Army took advantage of the fierce battle between the artillery of the Qing army and its own artillery, and quickly advanced forward, trying to connect with the first infantry formation of its own. The momentum of the charge.

"Grenade ready, throw!"

The Junggar army deserves to be a Mongolian brave. Although countless corpses were left behind during the charge, none of the surviving soldiers fled. After paying nearly half of the casualties, more than a thousand officers and soldiers who survived finally rushed to a distance of less than [-] steps from the formation of the Qing army. Seeing this, the heads of the Qing army regiments dared not ignore it They all issued orders according to the drill code.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Just when the Junggar soldiers rushed to a distance of [-] steps away from the Qing army formation, thousands of grenades fell overwhelmingly, some exploded in the air, and some exploded at the feet of the Junggar soldiers. The sound of the explosion became one piece, the smoke filled the air, countless shrapnel shot around, stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, pieces of meat flew across the sky, and the howling sound continued continuously. After a while, a gust of wind blew However, the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and less than a hundred of the remaining thousands of Junggar soldiers could stand still, and all of them were dumbfounded by such an earth-shattering explosion, standing still in a daze. Forget that this is a battlefield.

"Da da da……"

The officers and soldiers of the Qing army would not have any compassion for these remnants of the Junggar army. Seeing the remaining Junggar soldiers stunned not far away, how could they be polite? The Junggar soldiers who were still standing still shot and killed them on the spot.

"Blow the horn, let the second infantry square charge, don't stop, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The Junggar Army has fought many battles over the years. Not only has it fought against Russia, it has not only attacked Tibet and Qinghai, but it has also fought against the Kazakh Khanate and the Mongolian tribes in Monan. To the extreme, but now seeing the four thousand officers and soldiers of the first infantry team of our side wiped out without any survivors, the general of the second infantry team who had just arrived at the starting point still couldn't help feeling guilty and hesitated. Launched a strong attack again, seeing this, Chihe Mahadang was furious, and roared loudly.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

As soon as Chihe Maha gave the general's order, the several messengers who were accompanying him did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and they blew their horns with all their strength, and conveyed the order to the second infantry formation ahead.

"Attack forward!"

As soon as the horn sounded, the commander of the Second Junggar Infantry, who was still hesitating, had no choice but to forcefully wave the scimitar in his hand, roaring and giving the order to attack, Immediately, the [-] Junggar infantry in a neat array moved forward again.

"Arda!"

The Qing army would not be polite to the Second Junggar Infantry Group's move like this. As usual, they swept across with random guns, but the distance was still far away, and the bullets were obviously not accurate enough. The fight was lively, but the results were not good. It’s a lot, but as the Junggar infantry formation continued to press forward, the hit rate of the Qing army’s officers and soldiers began to increase significantly. Soldiers in the Junggar formation continued to cry and fell. If there were no accidents, this infantry formation would undoubtedly Following in the footsteps of the first team, it is also impossible to escape the annihilation of the entire army, and this is obviously not something that Chihe Maha can bear, but seeing him grit his teeth, he already drank with a livid face.
