I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After Dorgon and others knew the situation ahead, they convened their subordinates to discuss.

And their plan is indeed similar to Mondal's.

It's just that relatively speaking, their plans are more refined.

First, they will send a force to attack the Huajun's position No. 15, creating the illusion that they want to break through the No. 15 intersection and flee north.

After the other parts of the Chinese army have dispatched troops to reinforce the No. 15 intersection, their main force will attack the two places on the 17th and 18th, breaking through here in one fell swoop.

Then, some people were divided to defend and block, and the rest quickly passed through these two intersections.

The reason why junctions 17 and 18 were chosen was of course after various considerations, and was by no means randomly selected.

First of all, the terrain from junction 15 to 19 is mountainous, the distance between these four junctions is long, the front is long, and the Chinese army will support more slowly.

Like some intersections, for example, the distance between No. 1 and No. 2 is only 4 miles, which is convenient for support. In those places, it is easy for the Chinese army to gather forces and it is not suitable for breakthroughs.

Secondly, there are two main peaks on the intersection of No. 17 and No. 18, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, the Qing army is not in the water, and they have to attack more difficult places. They also have their own considerations.

In their opinion, it is actually easier to break through one or two mountain passes by launching a surprise attack on their own.

The difficulty is that it takes a long time for their large force to pass through, perhaps as long as a day or two.

This time is too dangerous. If they are attacked by the Chinese army during this time, they will be completely wiped out.

As long as they occupy the No. 17 and No. 18 highlands, they can rely on the dangerous terrain of these two highlands to build a defensive line, send a small number of troops to block Dahua's army, and protect the main force from the place between No. 17 and No. 18. Safe passage .

The entire strategy of the Qing army was to reduce losses as much as possible.

For them, it doesn't matter how many enemies they kill, how many people they can keep is the key.

After formulating the plan, the Qing army began to act formally.

The first is that the Mondal department turned to junction 15 to feint the Chinese army on the hillside.

They don't need and can't knock this hill down.

Instead, it was to create pressure on the Chinese army here, and then force them to ask for help, attracting the troops stationed on the 16th, 17th, and 18th.

The difficulty of this task is not to capture the Huajun stronghold, but to act like a trick to convince the Huajun that they will break through from here.

However, when acting, you need to master the proportions, and you can't break through at one time.

If a breakthrough is made, the Chinese army may abandon this stronghold, re-establish defense lines in other places, or have other ways to deal with it. In short, there are variables.

The Qing army did not like surprises, and the best result was to attract Chinese troops from other places here.

On the 28th of October, a total of more than 4,000 men from Mundal's army launched an attack on the No. 15 stronghold of the Chinese army.

Because of the terrain, it is of course impossible for more than 4,000 people to charge at the same time.

They charged for the first time, about a thousand people.

Among the thousand people, there were only more than 300 people with flintlock guns.

In Mondal's hands, there were only 1,500 flintlock guns in total.

This ratio is already very high. You must know that in Dorgon's 30,000-strong army, there are only 5,000 guns in total.

The rest are still using cold weapons.

This is all that Dorgon has left.

There were more than 300 flintlock guns in the first charge of the Qing army, and the total number of defenders of the Hua army was only more than 340 people.

In Mondal's view, his side has the advantage.

However, how did he know that Hua Jun had already changed his weapons at this time.

If you look closely, you can see that the Chinese army has dug a lot of trenches on the hillside, not to guard against artillery fire, but to guard against enemy bullets.

These people stayed in the ditch as a whole, with the parts above the shoulders exposed, and they wore a steel helmet on their heads.

As long as they're not shot in the face, they're not much of a danger.

And with the hit rate of the flintlock gun, if you want to hit the opponent's face, this is really too embarrassing. Even if the sharpshooter comes, more than 50 meters away, the hit of the flintlock gun is also random.

Only breech-loading rifles are suitable for such trenches. If it is still a flintlock, it is quite troublesome to stand in the trenches to load.

In the past, the trenches dug by the Nanming army were used to guard against artillery bombardment. After the real attack, everyone had to get out of the trenches and expose their bodies.

The Qing army was charging, and when they were still 200 meters away from the Hua army, the Hua army had already started firing.

This made some Qing soldiers laugh. They felt that this was because the Hua army panicked because of the small number of people, and they made such a childish move.

At this distance, trying to hit the enemy is simply wishful thinking.

However, their smiles didn't last long.

As several people fell one after another, the Qing army realized that something seemed wrong.

If it is said that these people are Hua Jun's lucky blind cat and the dead mouse, but this number is too much.

They were still rushing forward stupidly, but they just didn't feel right. This was not a reason to stop moving forward.

The closer you get, the more people fall.

By the time they reached a distance of 100 meters, almost 100 of them had fallen, accounting for about one-tenth of them.

This is a bit terrifying. Before, the distance between them was almost zero casualties, and the next 100 meters was a bloody road, a difficult journey.

However, now that they have just embarked on a bloody journey, a tenth of them are already dead.

Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters...

The closer the distance, the higher the hit rate of Hua Jun.

When they were fifty meters away, they could almost shoot an enemy twice.

After all, the charge of the Qing army directly exposed itself to the sight of the Hua army, but did not use trees, big stones,

Obstacles such as small dirt bags to cover the body.

In their minds, there is no such tactical thinking at all.

Only after fighting with the Huajun who used breech-loading rifles a few more times could they realize this problem and make changes.

Many tactics are forced out.

And now, they are just like the soldiers charging machine guns during the First World War.

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

This backward tactical thinking is the most deadly.

By the time they reached 50 meters, nearly 40% of them had already fallen.

Next, even the stupidest people refused to rush any more, and they all turned around and ran away.

What's even more tragic is that even if they turn around and run away, they don't know how to hide and dodge, they only know how to speed up their pace.

In the process of escaping, they killed nearly 100 people.

In this charge, they damaged nearly half of the soldiers, but they didn't even touch a hair of Hua Jun.
