When the Qing army moved south to re-attack Sariwon, the Hwaxing army also began to attack Pyongyang in the north.At this time, two 6,000-ton warships of the East China Sea Fleet, the Hwaxing and the Gangyin, also sailed to the port of Nampo in North Korea, preparing to sail directly to Pyongyang from the mouth of the Taedong River to Pyongyang and cooperate with the army to advance into Pyongyang.The infantry of the two sides encountered Songlin City between Pyongyang and Shariwon, and the battlefield outside the city was densely packed with human figures.The Huaxing army has 100,000 troops, which is one more army than the Qing army.As soon as it came up, it adopted the tactics of breaking through in the middle and outflanking the two flanks to encircle the Qing army.Liu Fu's First Army and Liu Lu's Second Army attacked the frontal battlefield, and Liu Shou's Third Army divided its troops into two routes and outflanked them from both flanks.The Third Army withdrew one division of troops and stationed them in Pyongyang and went south to suppress the Korean rebels.So this time, only two divisions were dispatched, one division on each flank, and tens of thousands of horses.The Qing Army's First Army and Third Army were hastily deployed, and the frontal battlefield was originally equal to that of the Huaxing Army, but now they had to divide half a division to defend the two flanks.Before the Hwaxing Army began its offensive, the airship squadron had already gone to the Incheon military base to complete the replenishment of bombs, and now all of them have entered the battlefield.Sixty airships descended slowly from the sky, covering the sky and the sun, like a god of war descending to earth.The Qing soldiers on the battlefield looked up one after another, all of them terrified.Don't say that people who have never had a sense of aerospace at this time will panic, even people in later generations will be frightened by the fear of the unknown in the face of sixty huge airships falling from the sky."
Army, army, commander, that's that thing, a flying warship, a flying warship" Bujechuk hurriedly found the commander Alhatu in the army, pointed to the airship in the sky and stammered and shouted."
Yes, really, really, a flying warship" Alhatu's eyes widened in shock from the airship squadron in the sky, and his mouth seemed to be unconscious, and he couldn't close it.At this time, a bad intuition suddenly came to Alhatu's heart, and he couldn't stop thinking about whether to slip away with oil on the soles of his feet now, and his idea was not yet sure, and the sixty airships had already dropped bombs down.Since its formation, the airship unit has gone through dozens of battles, large and small, and has been able to accurately drop bombs on predetermined targets.Moreover, in this battle, the Qing army did not even dig trenches on the battlefield, and did not build air defense fortifications at all.When he fought with Lao Maozi on the Mongolian battlefield, Lao Maozi hid in the trenches, and it was quite difficult to bomb.Now that the Qing army is covered by fire, it is not at all difficult to bomb.Sure enough, the moment the bomb touched the ground.The roar of the explosion instantly drowned out the fear of the Qing army.A bomb fell into the Qing army's military formation, and the Qing army within a radius of more than ten meters was cut into pulp by shrapnel.The earth shook violently under the sound of the explosion at this time, and the Qing troops bathed in artillery fire were like wheat, harvested by the shrapnel after the explosion.The airship troops started from the forward position of the Qing army and advanced all the way to the depth, and the bombs rained down all over the sky, blowing up from the beginning to the tail, directly cutting the Qing army's position in half.The headquarters of the Qing army was located at the back of the position, and in the face of the attack of the airship troops, all the generals in the army shouted in horror to find cover and take refuge.At this time, even the battle-hardened veteran Qi Buchen couldn't help but be frightened in the face of such a strange scene."
Qi Buchen, how about you believe it now, Lao Tzu's subordinates are not lying" The explosion was overwhelming, and Alhatu loudly ridiculed Qi Buchen.Both of them hid behind a boulder, unable to lift their heads from the bombardment of the sky."
Isn't this just being bombed twice, and when the Huaxing army launches an attack, Lao Tzu will still let them pay for their blood debts" Qi Buchen retorted stiffly, looking at the airship above his head with burning eyes."
Good, good, you're amazing, the dead duck is still hard-mouthed.Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end to see if you can hold here" Alhatu didn't want to reason with him anymore, and hurriedly reorganized the army that was about to collapse after the bombardment was over.In the explosion, many generals were killed, and the soldiers below were already in chaos on the position.In total, the airship squadron threw thousands of shells, and more than 5,000 Qing troops were killed alive.The position was in shambles, wailing and stumbling corpses littered with severed limbs and flesh.For the more than 70,000 Qing troops, the death of these thousands of people did not matter, but the visual impact of the rain of bullets and bombardment had destroyed the Qing army's will to resist.At this time, the Huaxing army launched an all-out attack and outflanked the Qing army in three directions.Although the Qing army held breech foreign guns in their hands, the tactics adopted were still the array defense of breech foreign guns.Row after row with their heads erected and neatly lined up with gun arrays, ready to meet the first round of assault of the Huaxing Army.Although Alhatu was a little hesitant at this time, he still insisted on staying on the battlefield and did not retreat.He had also seen the true strength of the Huaxing Army, and he was afraid that Qi Buchen would defeat the Huaxing Army, and his head would really be moved by Prince Alcohol.When the two sides were a kilometer apart, the gunfire began to rage.But because of the long distance, the accuracy is so poor that few people hit the target, just listen to the sound.When the Huaxing army rushed to 800 meters, the whole line lay on the ground and fired back, and then the lethality of the bullet slowly became prominent.Because the Qing army shot in a crouching position, completely exposing the body to the muzzle of the Huaxing army.The Huaxing army crouched on the ground to form a certain dead end, and at a distance of 800 meters, the bullets formed a parabola, and it was impossible to hit at all.As a result, the Qing army was like a live target, and was shot by rows of Huaxing troops lying on the opposite side.At this time, the machine gun company of the Huaxing Army was also ready on the position.As soon as the commander gave the order, nearly a thousand machine guns were fired.Tongues of fire poured out, and bullet casings cracked.At one time, nearly 10,000 bullets were overwhelmingly pressed towards the Qing army, and even the wind in his ears was mixed with whistling sounds.The Qing army's gun array seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and they fell backwards in rows.At this time, the commander who insisted on resisting on the front line could no longer sit still, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to lie down and shoot like the Huaxing army.The two sides were in a state of stalemate for the time being, and the Qing army was clearly not trained in this formation.When lying on the ground, the formation is very scattered.Many of the soldiers in the back row were cut off from sight by the soldiers in front, and they could not form an effective fire block.And under the strafing of the bullets of the Huaxing army, the Qing troops in the front row couldn't even raise their heads.The riflemen of the Huaxing Army took the opportunity to rush forward, going back and forth several times, and the two sides finally stalemate at a distance of 300 meters.300 meters is the effective shooting distance of the rifle, and within this distance, the accuracy of the rifle can fully achieve accurate point fire.But this distance also entered the range of mortars, and all the mortars on the positions of the Huaxing army had been properly installed, and boxes of ammunition had been brought up."
Three hundred meters ahead, ammunition is not counted, launch" the commander roared and waved the command flag.The shrill sound of the friction between the shells and the barrels sounded, and nearly a thousand shells flew into the sky in a parabola at the same time, and when they reached the apex, they fell into the position of the Qing army like a dense flock of birds."
Boom, boom, boom" The explosion that had just stopped on the battlefield sounded again, and the Qing troops in the front row were overturned by the shock wave of the explosion.The shrapnel spread in all directions in the shape of a mushroom, constantly blowing up the surrounding Qing troops into pulp.The Qing army was about to cry, and I don't know how many tricks the Huaxing army still has.Either machine guns or mortars, in rotation.When there was a fierce exchange of fire on the frontal battlefield, the battle on both flanks was even more intense.The Qing army invested too many troops in the frontal battlefield, and the division of troops was already weak, and now the soldiers on the two flanks are only half of the Huaxing army.Under the suppression of the powerful firepower of the Huaxing army, the Qing troops on both flanks were shot and killed by bullets one after another.In particular, more than half of the 5,000 people stationed in Alhab on the right flank have now been poured out, and the bile that Alhab is distressed about will flow out.The battle lasted less than an hour, and the initiative was already completely in the hands of the Huaxing army.The Huaxing army gradually closed on three sides, and the Qing army's position became smaller and smaller, and it looked like it was about to be blocked by the Huaxing army on all sides and eaten up.At this time, Alhabutu did not dare to slap the swollen face and become fat, and no matter how the prince punished him after returning, he withdrew to the rear with the third army.His withdrawal was amazing, and the right flank of the First Army commanded by Qi Buchen was completely exposed to the guns of the Huaxing Army.The front-line command made a quick decision and decided to let Alhatu go first and concentrate all its efforts on eating Qi Buchen's soldiers and horses.At this time, Qi Buchen's soldiers and horses had lost tens of thousands of lives, and now only more than 20,000 people remained.After Alhatu fled, the battlefield was thrown into chaos.The Huaxing army outflanked all of them from the right flank and surrounded Qi Buchen's more than 20,000 people in all directions.Under the alternating call of artillery runs and expeditionary machine guns, Kibchen's First Army was quickly wounded and wounded.With every shot they fired, five times as many bullets returned.The First Army is also worthy of being the elite of the Manchu Kwantung New Army, in such a tragic situation.Qi Buchen did not speak, and none of the soldiers fled.All braved the rain of bullets and persevered to the end.The battlefield is still full of gunsmoke and hustle and bustle.There was no suspense at all, and Qi Buchen persevered until the last moment.More than 20,000 soldiers were strangled by bullets and shells in rows, until Qi Buchen was left with dozens of his own soldiers guarding him.Qi Buchen looked at the direction of Alhatu's escape on the right flank, and the green tendons of gnashing his teeth were exposed, and he pulled out his knife and roared there, "Alhatu, you coward, Lao Tzu will not let you go if you are a ghost" "Bang, bang, bang" A burst of gunfire rang out, and more than a dozen personal soldiers around Qi Buchen were instantly beaten into meat sieves.The vanguard of the Huaxing Army had already surrounded them, and they all set up their guns and yelled at Qi Buchen, "Put down your arms, don't kill with your sword" "Little calf, if you want Lao Tzu to surrender, to hell" Qi Buchen held a knife and faced hundreds of Huaxing Army soldiers and laughed, and wiped it off his neck with a knife.Blood splattered, instantly staining the steel knife red.The tip of the knife stabbed heavily into the earth, and until he died, he straightened his waist and knelt on one knee
