Chapter 1367 Fake Attack
As a naval officer from Northeast China, Sun Bing participated in all the military operations of the Northern Expedition to the Liaodong Peninsula in the past year.His familiarity with the situation in the Liaodong Peninsula is an indispensable and important reference for the Haihan Navy when formulating its action plan, and a feint landing attack near the Jinzhou Isthmus requires a local like him who is familiar with geography Serve as a commander on the front line.
"Get ready to land!" Seeing that the coastline was getting closer, Sun Bing gave the order.The soldiers on the deck stood up, began to carry their weapons and equipment on their backs, and prepared to disembark and go ashore.
In this operation, the navy no longer asked the special warfare battalion to dispatch cooperation, but used its own marines.The marine corps construction of the navy has entered the implementation stage in the past two years. Although there are not many troops, and only two companies are kept in the Northern Fleet, it also follows Haihan's long-standing strategy of elite soldiers. All of its soldiers are from Selected from the active navy, the combat method is naturally based on amphibious landing warfare.However, compared with elite troops such as the cavalry battalion, special warfare battalion, and South China Sea special warfare brigade, the Marine Corps still has a certain gap in equipment level and actual combat experience.
The weapons of the Marine Corps are basically installed in accordance with the standards of the Army's combat troops. The main weapon is the Type [-] breech-loading flintlock. Naturally, the performance of this rifle is not comparable to the seven bursts currently installed in the Special Operations Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion. , but in fact, it has greatly surpassed the contemporaneous long-range individual weapons, and it is enough to deal with the post-Golden army, which mainly uses cold weapons.Coupled with the fact that naval guns can also provide a certain level of fire cover on the coastline, it is not too difficult for the Marine Corps to implement amphibious landings.
Sun Bing is currently serving as the commander of the first company of the Marine Corps, and he and his company will also serve as the main force in the amphibious operations launched on the Jinzhou Isthmus this time.The troop carrier chose an abandoned fishing village wharf on the coast as a landing point. After sending two teams of soldiers ashore in small boats to make sure that there were no traces of enemy activity near the shore, the troop carrier slowly approached the trestle on the shore, and then Lower the gangplank to let the soldiers land.
This location is still a few miles away from the stronghold where the Houjin Army is stationed in the north, but the movement of the Haihan Fleet deliberately tossing on the beach before must have aroused the vigilance of the Houjin Army. Will be around soon.
After Sun Bing went ashore, he sent his men into a nearby abandoned fishing village, relying on the ruined walls to build a defensive position.The original residents had been cleaned up when the Hou Jin army occupied this place, and those who did not escape had long since become slaves. Many houses still have traces of being burned. Obviously, it was when the Hou Jin army looted this place. The result of doing it easily.
Sun Bing himself is a Han refugee who escaped from Liaodong, and he is no stranger to the scene where the entire village was turned into ruins by the Houjin army. If we want to compare it, his hatred for Houjin is even deeper Far more than soldiers from Shandong like Wang Jinmin and Sun Zhen.Now the Haihan army's attitude towards the Houjin prisoners of war is simply pleasing to him. It is more important to kill these Houjin soldiers with his own hands than to gain military merit.
Of course, as a commander, he still had to follow military orders.What the Haihan army is going to perform here is a feint attack mission, not a decisive battle with Hou Jin. If they only act according to their personal likes and dislikes, it is very likely that it will affect the trend of the entire battle situation.Sun Bing was no longer a recruit, so he would naturally be able to handle it properly.
The reason why I chose a nearby abandoned fishing village to build a position instead of building a beachhead myself is also considering that the Houjin Army has a considerable proportion of cavalry. The terrain of the village can effectively prevent the cavalry from charging, and provide the Haihan infantry stationed in it. A certain level of cover.However, to build a position on the beachhead, the amount of work is relatively large. The Marine Corps currently does not have engineering units to cooperate with the operation, and its strength is relatively limited. It is bound to be very difficult to complete such a project.
Not long after the Marine Corps entered the village, the figure of Houjin Detective Cavalry appeared on the field to the north.Hou Jin also seemed extremely cautious about Haihan's landing of troops. He did not rush to approach, but walked back and forth in the distance, as if he wanted to determine whether the Haihan army's landing was over.
"At this distance, can we kill them?" Sun Bing was naturally displeased when he saw the Golden Cavalry in the distance, so he immediately asked the snipers who landed with the marines.This special arm belongs to the army, and at the moment it is only cooperating with the navy. Sun Bing does not have direct command power, so he can only ask the other party to cooperate with him in combat.
Snipers in the Haihan Army generally operate in two-person teams, and this time is no exception. The Marine Corps is a standard combat team composed of two people. One is the main shooter and the other is the observer. Both hands are equipped with a full set of sniper weapons, and the functions of the two can be exchanged at any time according to the battlefield situation.
When Sun Bing asked, they had been watching with binoculars for a while, and one of them responded, "This distance is no problem, and we can shoot when they stop, but it might be a bit difficult to clean them up. "
This problem is no longer a question of the shooter's marksmanship. To continuously destroy multiple moving targets hundreds of meters away, even the sharpshooters of later generations with more advanced firearms cannot guarantee that they can do it, let alone using the current A sniper rifle produced at the military level.If you want to destroy all the Houjin Detective Cavalry moving in the distance, it is indeed a bit difficult.
Sun Bing said: "You don't need to clean it up, just knock out a few. Our task now is to feign an attack. Since we want to pretend, we have to pretend a bit. Don't give Hou Jin scouts a chance to approach this side calmly for reconnaissance."
Now that Sun Bing had made the request, the two snipers immediately found a suitable place to set up their sniper rifles.After waiting for a while, the Houjin Detective Cavalry in the distance stopped to watch, and the sniper immediately pulled the trigger.However, the wind was strong in the field at this time, and the first shot actually missed, but he didn't panic at all. He pulled the bolt out of the shell and reloaded, and then aimed and fired. This time, he didn't miss again. A figure in the distance responded. Fall off the horse.
When the first shot was fired, the rear golden cavalry in the distance should have heard the sound, but they may not have realized that someone was shooting at them. Deliver precision strikes on them at such a distance.It wasn't until someone was shot and fell to the ground in the second shot that these post-golden cavalrymen realized that they had been assassinated, but they still didn't realize that the blow came from the abandoned fishing village hundreds of feet away, and they were still looking around for the enemy to hide. place.
The sniper who served as the main shooter was very stable. Even if the observer next to him yelled the word "center", he did not show any excitement. He continued to eject the shells with a calm movement, reloaded the shells, aimed and fired.
It wasn't until the Golden Cavalrymen were shot and fell down after No.3 that these dull enemies finally realized where the attack came from. They quickly lifted their shot companions back on their horses and rode away.In the process, the Haihan sniper shot another person without losing the opportunity.
The Golden Cavalry quickly escaped from the shooting range, while the sniper finally scored four out of six shots. The last shot was fired when the enemy retreated, but unfortunately it missed the fast-moving target.
However, Sun Bing was very satisfied with such results. Even if he gathered his subordinates to shoot together at this distance, he might not be able to accurately hit distant targets. The shooting accuracy was completely different from that of a sniper.Sun Bing thought that if there were more sharpshooters like this, there would be no need to fight at all, but I heard that his training was extremely difficult, and the special rifles he used were extremely difficult to manufacture, so it is no wonder that there are so few snipers.
Previously, he thought it was too stingy to assign two snipers from the top, but after seeing their performance, Sun Bing immediately realized that as long as they were used properly, the role of these two snipers in the battle situation would be ten times greater than that of the two snipers. The force here is even greater.
After Hou Jin Detective was repelled, he didn't dare to approach this abandoned fishing village that Haihan had taken over as his own.They didn't know how the Haihan people managed to kill their companions with muskets at such a long distance, but one thing was very clear, this distance was no longer a safe distance for them.If you step into this range, you may eat bullets from Haihan's musket at any time.
But to ensure the safety of their lives, they had to retreat far enough, so that it would be difficult to detect the movements of the Haihan fleet near the coast.After this news was reported to the Houjin stronghold, the commander's reaction naturally realized that Haihan was trying to stop his side's reconnaissance operations and cover up their combat intentions in the vicinity.
No matter how the Haihan army tosses at sea, the Jin army can pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, there is no way to fight against it at sea. The right is to voluntarily give up control of the sea.But now that the Haihan army landed directly near the Jinzhou Isthmus, the intention of this kind of action can be said to be very obvious, that is, to cut off the land traffic of the later Jin army to and from the Jinzhou Peninsula.And now there are nearly [-] Houjin troops in the south trying to drive the Haihan people in Lushunkou out of the land. If the back road is cut off, the Houjin troops fighting in the front will soon lose supplies and will fall into a very serious situation. in a dangerous situation.
The post-Jin officer who sits on the Jinzhou Isthmus is Jialaerzhen Erhe. He belongs to the same banner as Mutbu who died in the battle at Lushunkou before, and he can be regarded as a partner serving under the same tent.After the news of Mutbu's death came back, Erhe was also shocked and angry. A few days ago, Lushunkou had just increased the deployment of troops, in order to prevent the Haihan people from harassing again before winter, but he did not expect this time Haihan came aggressively, and it took only one day to break through the Zhongzuo City at Lushunkou and kill Mutbu.
Erhe was surprised, so he could only report the news immediately, and then Jinzhou organized reinforcements to go to Lushunkou to try to drive the Haihan people away.The troops going south were led by another Jialaerzhenertenyi, and Erhe's task was to sit on the Jinzhou Isthmus to ensure the smooth flow of the supply channel from Jinzhou to the front line of Lushun.
But Erhe really didn't expect that Haihan was clearly fighting in the south, but he still pulled out his strength to come to the north from the sea to make trouble.And looking at its movements, it turns out that it is planning to make a fuss here in the Jinzhou Isthmus.
Erhe's first reaction was of course to gather troops to destroy the temporary stronghold of the Haihan army on the coast, but the cavalry who went to reconnaissance were somehow killed by the opponent's muskets a hundred feet away. Dare to act rashly.If the weapons of the Haihan army were so powerful, then the cavalrymen I sent out would be killed completely during the charge, and they would not be able to charge to the distance that the saber could reach.
Erhe remembered the news brought back from the front line by Mutbu's deputy Doro a few days ago, saying that the muskets of the Haihan people were weird, and they could shoot continuously without loading ammunition, so that the golden cavalry was the best knot. The massacre turned into a collective death, and the hundreds of golden cavalry in Zhongzuo City fell under the muzzle of Haihan muskets.And the news brought back by the cavalry who went to reconnaissance today said that the muskets of the Haihan Army can shoot at a distance of nearly one mile, and they are single-shot bursts, not a volley of guns that hit the big luck.
Shooting so far, hitting so accurately, and being able to shoot in bursts, how do we fight this battle against an enemy with such abnormal combat power?Erhe immediately fell into a headache.The information he had was extremely limited, and he didn't even know that the Haihan army fighting at Lushunkou was not the same as the Haihan army under his nose, and the weapons, equipment and tactics used were also obviously different, just according to human inertia Thinking, piecing together the known fragments of news, came to a theoretically worst conclusion.
It is of course very simple to verify whether this conclusion is true, and that is to send someone to test the other party's reality to obtain more information.But this kind of verification method must pay a huge price. The few half-dead wounded who were brought back just now are examples.If such a method is to be adopted, how many people must die to obtain the desired information?
On the other side of the battlefield, Sun Bing was learning about the strengths and weaknesses of this special combat mode from the snipers.The barrel of a sniper rifle has a limited service life, and Haihan's current materials and craftsmanship are very limited. In order to ensure a high enough hit rate, it must be replaced after shooting around [-] rounds.As for an excellent sniper, his skills have to rely on a lot of shooting training to accumulate slowly, and the consumption of firearms and ammunition alone is a considerable amount.Moreover, in the process of training, most of the students will be eliminated. Similar to the two snipers sent to the Marine Corps to perform missions, they both passed the initial training stage with a one-in-a-hundred chance before they were officially listed in this special team. Among the arms.
