Chapter 248: Charge at the Dwarf Locust Army
The cannons on the two artillery positions of the Nanshan Army were all aimed at the artillery positions of the Small Locust Country.
The bombardment lasted for half an hour before the roar of cannons at the artillery position of the Small Locust Country finally stopped.
Seeing the heavy losses of the artillery, the artillery commander of the Little Locust Nation shouted loudly: "Retreat, quickly move the position."
As the artillery positions were moved and the artillery commander of the Dwarf Locust Country had counted the losses of the artillery, his face turned extremely ugly.
Of the 60 105-caliber guns, less than 2 were left, and 155 -caliber guns were completely destroyed. This result is naturally hard to accept.
Although the Omoto Division could travel by train from Donghai to Changhuan, transporting 105 60-caliber cannons and two 2-caliber cannons was already the limit.
In order to save marching time, the remaining 155-caliber cannons and 203-caliber cannons of the Omoto Division were all left on the warships.
I thought that with 60 105-caliber guns and 2 155-caliber guns, the firepower would be very strong, but I didn't expect the losses would be so huge.
On the other side, seeing that the artillery of the Little Locust Country had stopped firing back, the Nanshan Army immediately changed its target and bombarded the Little Locust camp for another twenty minutes.
The commanders of the two artillery positions of the Nanshan Army were also very angry. Although the artillery had the upper hand, 105 15-caliber cannons and 155 1-caliber cannon were destroyed.
Such losses naturally made the two artillery commanders dissatisfied.
After the shelling stopped, at 7:10, the First Division of the Nanshan Army launched a frontal attack on the garrison of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.
The Tenth Division was embedded in the west of the army of the Small Locust Country, on the one hand encircling the army of the Small Locust Country, and on the other hand preventing the Northern Army from supporting the army of the Small Locust Country.
While the First Division was attacking, the Eleventh Division also launched a charge against the Dwarf Locust Army from the east.
Faced with the attacking Nanshan Army, the dwarf locust army in front of the position and on the east wing immediately went into defense, setting up machine guns and looking for shooting cover.
More than 40,000 Nanshan troops attacked from two directions, thinking they had a great advantage, but after the first fight, the battlefield became a meat grinder.
After entering within 800 meters, facing the heavy machine gun positions of the Small Locust Country, the Nanshan Army set up general-purpose machine guns to fire back at them.
In the first round of fighting, the Nanshan Army lost hundreds of soldiers, and the Little Locust Kingdom also lost at least 300 people. In order to reduce casualties, the Nanshan Army's offensive momentum was slightly slowed down.
What was more favorable to the Nanshan Army was that the Nationalist Army did not dig trenches or set up defensive positions around their base, which reduced the difficulty of the Nanshan Army's attack.
On the battlefield, the officer of the First Division commanded: "Snipers, mortars, knock out the enemy's heavy machine gun positions."
Under the attack of sniper rifles and mortars, the heavy machine gun positions on the front line were quickly knocked out. Under the leadership of officers from various units, the Nanshan Army continued to attack forward.
Once within rifle range, the sophisticated shooting skills of the soldiers from the Small Locust Country caused a sharp increase in casualties among the Nanshan Army.
The commander of the 101st Regiment saw this, and although his face was grim, he still calmly commanded: "Brothers, set up general-purpose machine guns and mortars, and carve out a bloody path for me."
Following Wang Bin's order, general-purpose machine guns and mortars bombarded the positions of the dwarf locust army without mercy, causing heavy losses to the dwarf locust army.
"Set up mortars." The dwarf locust army was not to be outdone, and a colonel on the front battlefield gave the order.
As the casualties in the Dwarf Locust Kingdom increased, their ferocity was aroused, and they all showed a desperate attitude and madness.
Amidst the hail of bullets, they set up mortars to fire back at the Nanshan Army, and brought heavy machine guns from the rear and set them up on the positions to continue resisting the Nanshan Army's attacks.
The Nanshan Army was also aroused to fight bravely and fearlessly with the army of the dwarf locust country.
Mortar shells, machine gun bullets, and rifle bullets splashed on the battlefield, taking away lives, and soon the earth was stained with blood.
Seeing that there was still no result even after using mortars and general-purpose machine guns, Wang Bin's face became extremely ugly.
After a moment, Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, the army of the Little Locust Country is not afraid of death. Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid." The surrounding Nanshan soldiers answered loudly.
Wang Bin grabbed a submachine gun from a soldier and shouted, "If you are not afraid of death, charge with me. Don't let the short guy on the opposite side look down on you."
"Charge." Seeing Wang Bin taking the lead in the charge, the soldiers of the First Division followed suit and launched a desperate charge from the front without regard for their lives.
The Nanshan Army charged and fired at the same time, causing considerable losses to the small locust national army under the fire of submachine guns and rifles, but the Nanshan Army also suffered heavy losses.
Wang Bin estimated that they were still 50 to 60 meters away from the front line of the Little Locust Nation. He took out a grenade and ordered, "Brothers, throw the grenade."
As hundreds of grenades were thrown out, there was a burst of bombing sounds, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Brothers, charge." Wang Bin shouted and led the vanguard soldiers to quickly approach the dwarf locust army.
After rushing out more than ten meters, the Nanshan army took out grenades again and threw them into the army of the Dwarf Locust Country, killing many of the Dwarf Locust soldiers.
Seeing the Nanshan Army being so brave, the officers on the Little Locust Country’s battlefield all changed their expressions, and many of them cursed: “Baga.”
Even the soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Country felt a little fearful and were intimidated by the Nanshan Army.
Although the army of the Small Locust Country has often won battles in recent years and can be considered elite, it is slightly inferior to the Nanshan Army in terms of equipment and eliteness.
As the Nanshan Army continued to rush forward, the first-line troops of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom began to retreat.
Even the army of the Dwarf Locust Nation, which worships the strong and fights crazily, will collapse when it suffers huge casualties.
Of course, the Little Locust National Army was far from collapsed at this time. It was only retreating strategically, rearranging its positions, and organizing its defenses.
In the rear, after the artillery fire stopped, Omoto Enshin, the chief of staff and others also came out of the anti-artillery cave.
After learning about the battle situation ahead, Xiao Benyuanxin cursed: "Baga, how dare these new people take the initiative to attack? Aren't they afraid of our little dwarf locust country?"
"Report to the division commander, the vanguard of the eastern front troops has been defeated." Just as Omoto Enshin was thinking, an officer came to report.
Before Xiao Ben Yanxin could get angry, another officer came up and reported: "Your Excellency the division commander, the front-line troops on the southern front are retreating. Request tactical guidance."
Xiao Benyuanxin's face darkened. Both front lines were defeated by the Nanshan Army. How could it be so fast?
In the past, only the army of the Little Locust Nation could defeat the enemy in front of it so easily. Unexpectedly, today, it was the army of the Little Locust Nation that was defeated so quickly.
Although the forwards on both fronts were defeated, Omoto Yanxin was not panicked. There were only less than 4,000 forwards, and even if the forwards were defeated, they still had more than 20,000 people.
"Let the Murakami Brigade fully defend the southern line, and the Inoue Brigade firmly hold the eastern line."
"Yes, Your Excellency, the Division Commander."
The names of the armies of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom are all named after the surnames of the commanders. For example, if the commander of a division is named Komoto Enshin, the name of the division is Komoto Division.
The Murakami Brigade and the Inoue Brigade, the surnames of the two brigade commanders are: Murakami and Inoue.
