Chapter 482 The Gap of Times
After the ground forces of both sides clashed, the Huns lost even more confidence in resistance because the gap in weapons between the two sides was too great. Although they were also holding bolt-action rifles, most of them were old models from decades ago. The Russians no longer used them, so they gave them to them, and they were older than they were.
Some of them are almost as old as their grandfathers. Look at the guns in the hands of the Han army. Not only can they fire continuously, but they are also very accurate. I have seen it in the Rakshasa army before. Among more than a hundred people, only one had that kind of scope. But look at the Han army now. Basically, everyone holding a rifle has a scope.
Li Shaoyi also knew that doing so would be extremely expensive, but the system came standard with a scope. No matter how good your marksmanship was, as long as you had this thing, you could at least increase your accuracy by 50 percent. If it couldn't be improved, then it could only be said that you were too bad.
Although there were many Huns in the encirclement, most of them squatted obediently in their original places after seeing this scene. There was a loudspeaker installed on the jeep, and there were people specifically responsible for the Huns shouting that as long as they stayed where they were, they would never be harmed. If they resisted, their entire family would be killed after the war.
This trick is still very useful. Many people want to resist, but when they see the huge gap between the two sides and think about their families who still need to survive, they just put down their guns honestly.
Of Prince Bashan's 3,000 elite soldiers, only more than 2,000 arrived. At this time, Prince Bashan could not care less. He mounted his warhorse, waved his whip, and wanted to lead these people out of the siege like he did when he was young.
But when these people were about to set off, two planes swooped down from the sky, saying, "You guys are gathered together. Even if you are going to a banquet, our Air Force will never let you go."
A round of strafing from south to north knocked more than a hundred people off their horses, and the remaining people began to move around, after all, they were too dense just now.
The jeeps on the ground also received news from their air force brothers. Five jeeps formed a V-shape, about 40 meters apart, and rushed directly towards this side, with the machine guns on them roaring.
The team was immediately severely injured by the fire from five heavy machine guns.
The Xiongnu cavalry had no cover except the clothes on their bodies. Under the attack of large-caliber heavy machine guns, large groups of people were knocked off their horses. Prince Bashan took out his pistol and fired a few shots at the jeep over there, but because it was a bit far away, the range of your pistol was not enough.
The range of many soldiers' rifles was not enough. These Han people were very cunning. The range of their heavy machine guns was about 1,500 meters. Although it was impossible to hit someone accurately, some people would always be knocked off their horses by firing at this distance.
Our rifles can only hit targets a few hundred meters away, so they are out of range. The Han people also understand this and always keep the distance at about one thousand meters. Therefore, the Xiongnu cavalry can only be beaten and cannot fight back. This is also their most frustrating thing.
When you ride past on a fast horse, these drivers will immediately turn 180 degrees and run back, but the machine guns can turn around and continue to shoot you.
The stalemate lasted for more than half an hour, and then jeeps appeared on the distant hill. After Liu Xiaoshan learned about the situation here, he immediately mobilized more than 300 jeeps from various troops and asked them to come over to support first. The remaining armored vehicles were also moving forward at full speed.
When the new jeep arrived, with the help of the air force brothers, they immediately rushed to the place where they were most needed. After all, the air force could see most clearly at high altitudes. No one knew better than them where the weak points were and where the resistance was most intense.
Of course, it is also easier to guide the direction. You can either sweep the area or go directly over and drop a bomb.
After the appearance of our ground forces, the attacks of the Air Force brothers were obviously restrained a lot, because they were afraid of hitting their brother forces. If that happened, not only would they not get any credit, they might even be sent to a military court.
After these more than 300 jeeps joined in, the chaotic situation quickly improved. More and more people put down their weapons and knelt down obediently on the spot.
As for those who were preparing to escape, they gave up the idea at this moment. Except for the first group, it was almost impossible for the rest of them to escape. There were jeeps everywhere around them. If you galloped on horseback, dozens of bullets would be fired at you, and there would always be one that would hit you.
When the armored vehicles appeared on the southern hillside, the battle situation was basically decided. Even the most optimistic people gave up escaping at this time, because there were countless jeeps around the armored vehicles. In this situation, where can you run to?
There are people watching in the sky, and countless jeeps on the ground. When your warhorse gets tired, his thing can drive from morning to night as long as it has oil.
Even if your warhorse has the advantage and can run a certain distance for a while, you still have to rest. When you rest, these people will appear out of nowhere, and you still won't be able to escape.
What's more, I have just said that as long as you don't fire at the Han army, you can guarantee the safety of your entire family. If you put up a fierce resistance, no one in your family will survive in the end.
It was this sentence that made a large number of soldiers holding guns quickly drop their guns and raise their hands to prove that they had not fired the guns and that even the bullets in the guns were intact.
As for Prince Bashan, this guy now led more than a thousand of his men, divided into more than twenty teams, and began to flee to the north in the same way as the Rakshasa people.
Liu Xiaoshan did not send anyone to pursue them in the end. The more than 20,000 people in front of him were a burden. If he sent troops to pursue them, there would not be enough people coming. In order to arrive here quickly, Liu Xiaoshan only brought one regiment of troops. The large force in the rear had not arrived yet, and he could not afford to divide his troops now.
It’s a good thing that Prince Bashan ran away. Let him bring fear to the Rakshasa camp and let those Rakshasa people know how we fight. Let’s see if you still have that confidence.
The military reporter beside Liu Xiaoshan was probably the most excited right now, snapping away with his film. In this huge circle before them, there were over 20,000 Xiongnu warriors, plus their families—more than 60,000 to 70,000 people…
