march to victory

How about following a good person to be a good person, following a fox to become a fairy!

These words are too correct, at least, they are really suitable for Liu Bing, the deputy head of the assault regiment and the first battalion commander.

Originally, Liu Bing, a high-achieving student, was proud to the bottom of his bones. Although he fought well, he was also a man who dared to fight.However, since becoming Zhang Qingshan's subordinate, his arrogance has subsided somewhat, but he has seen the other side. To put it nicely, he has become cunning; to put it bluntly, his skin thickness has increased rapidly up.

Generally speaking, blocking the city gate itself is a kind of ambition to survive and die with the city's merits, and most of the sandbags filled with soil are used, but he is lucky, it is really the bluestone blocks from the nearby Qingshi Road. The city gate was closed, and, in order to strengthen the strength of blocking the city gate, he also made people boil glutinous rice overnight, and added extra lime, which happened to be used as cement, and really blocked the city gate... This can only show that His thick skin, and his cunning lies in his cunning, he just didn't completely block the city gate, but left five small finger-sized holes, from the inside to the outside, from high to low, in the form of pipelines.And also made a bowl-sized groove on both sides: one can increase the speed of pouring kerosene, and the side of the lower outer opening can speed up the speed of oil discharge.

In Liu Bing's triumphant words at the time, doing so would not only make it impossible for the little devil to use explosives to fill the five holes, but also allow people to pour kerosene from the inside, and then a single spark could burn the five holes. A lot of dead.

Not to mention, although it is a bit unethical to do so, it is really easy to use for blocking the city gate.

Especially in the face of such a big pimple as hard as iron blocking the door, even if the little devil bombards him with cannons, he will have to despair!

It's just that everyone looked at Liu Bing with weird eyes, especially those veterans who have been following Liu Bing, looked at Liu Bing with a very sad and complicated look: what a noble white swan? He has only been with the leader for more than half a year, and he has become a black swan?It's too dark, isn't it?It is simply for the sake of victory, and on the premise of not violating party discipline and military regulations, they will do whatever they can.

However, Liu Bing's pride is based on his ability.

As far as the level of military theory is concerned, in the entire assault regiment, only Tian Guozhong, the chief of staff of the regiment, can suppress him a little bit. The rest, such as Zhang Qingshan, a half-way monk, can definitely be thrown out of the eight streets.

No, when formulating the entire battle plan, Liu Bing immediately proposed to demolish all the four gate buildings in Sanqiao County, the east, west and south gate buildings.

At that time, the audience was full of astonishment, but Tian Guozhong gave Liu Bing a thumbs up after thinking about it for a while.

Zhang Qingshan humbly asked for advice, but Liu Bing gave the reason after Zhang Qingshan obediently offered a pack of cigarettes under Liu Bing's haughty eyes.

From ancient times to the present, there are two main functions of city towers: one is to climb high and look far; the other is to symbolize spirituality.

The former is easy to understand, but the latter is ignored by many people.

If the city tower is captured or blown up, it will definitely be a huge spiritual blow to the soldiers on the side defending the city, because its loss means a harbinger of failure for the side defending the city, so everyone will It can be seen in various film and television works that once the city tower is lost, the commander who defends the city will generally take it back at all costs.

In modern warfare, the towers will basically never miss, but will be directly blown up by shells.In this way, it is tantamount to saying that the city defenders have no chance to take it back.And once the city tower is blown up, it will also deal a major blow to the morale of the defenders... Among other things, the deterrent force generated at the moment the city tower is blown up will make many soldiers terrified, and thus Affected the morale of the entire defenders.

This, although many people do not notice, but it is there.

That's why Liu Bing proposed to blow up the three city towers at the first time, just because he didn't want the little devil to have traces in this regard... and the only thing left was the north tower, which was mainly due to the geographical advantage of the north tower, so that Little devils can't easily blow it up.At the same time, you can also use the North Tower to climb high and look far.

Therefore, when the commander of the army on the right side of the little devil came to the south of the city and saw the south tower that had been blown up, he couldn't help being stunned: Where did the south tower go?I'm still waiting for a shot to kill it.

Of course, although this small episode made the supreme commander of the little devil's right army very regretful, it did not affect his determination and decision to attack immediately.However, it made him consciously narrow the scope of the attack. Anyway, in his eyes, he has tanks and cannons on his side. As long as he hits one point and breaks it, the battle is basically over.All that was left was to break into the city and carry out a unilateral massacre.

For this moment that is very meaningful to him personally, and to add such a touch to his military career, the supreme commander of the right army came to the forefront in person, and he felt that he had to see this moment in his eyes How the invincible steel army quickly entered the city.

Since he is proud and has an overwhelming advantage, then naturally he doesn't need to think about anything else, he just needs to spread out his formation and attack.

However, he is not too arrogant, at least, he led the troops directly to the east gate and came to the open ground outside the south gate... What reflects his arrogance and self-confidence is not that he directly ordered the tribute regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers , it is not to let the soldiers go hungry to fight, nor is it to ignore the defense situation in the city, but, he did not even build the simplest rest camp, and directly let the soldiers in the rear carry weapons and ammunition, and enter the forest in a big way , I am not afraid of harassment or sneak attack by the assault regiment.

To put it bluntly, he didn't even read the most basic sand table of modern warfare, although the people below had already done it.But he thinks that all the information has already been recorded in his mind, and he has to rely on sand table drills to deal with such an opponent, which is to think highly of the opponent and insult his soldiers too much.

Too much confidence is stupid!In layman's terms, at this time, he underestimated the enemy.

Halfway up the mountain, nearly 500 meters away from the South City Gate, in a relatively flat place, cannons are lined up, ready... Tanks and small steel cannons are temporarily put aside by him, because he thinks it is unnecessary, there are These cannons will suffice.

With his order, twenty cannons fired one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Groups of fires shone, smoke billowed up, the ground shook and the mountains shook, but the city walls still did not fall.

But it was not without results, because each shell left a scar about ten centimeters deep and eighteen centimeters wide on the city wall.

Although the supreme commander of the little devil's right army is arrogant, he still has some skills. At least, he didn't let each cannon send a base number of shells to the city wall as soon as he came up.Instead, only the first round of shells was fired, which is the test wall-use the first round of shells to test the defense strength of the city wall.

As a result, it naturally made him a little annoyed: This is a mountain cannon, not a small steel cannon. Under such a big commotion, how could it be possible to explode such a little bit?

But the cruel reality made him understand: if things go on like this, all the mountain cannon shells he brought will only blow up a section of the city wall... This is beyond his expectation.Because in his plan, China's city walls basically cannot withstand the shelling of a base of mountain artillery, and the remaining ammunition is to deal with the blockhouses in the city.If all of them are used, what about the bunkers in the city?Send the precious tank up?

However, he still has very rich experience in commanding. No, he changed his mind and immediately made tactical adjustments to the artillery: hit the firepower and attack one point.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The skills of the little devil artillerymen are still very good. At least, the twenty mountain cannons all attacked the city wall section within five meters, 30 meters to the right of the south gate.

And the effect of such shelling is very obvious.

Within this five-meter city wall, there is a bomb crater about [-] centimeters deep and one meter wide in the center, and around it, there are bomb craters of different sizes.

Seeing the effect, the artillery continued naturally.

So, after half a shell base, it finally stopped - look at the result!

The result is that all the little devils look cold: in general, there is still progress.

The bomb crater that was blown out about [-] centimeters deep before was pushed in about [-] centimeters, which is exactly the depth of the stone bricks used to build the city wall.

The sharp-eyed person, after the smoke cleared, saw this clearly through the telescope, and even clearly saw the stones sticking to each other inside the city wall.

However, it is precisely because of seeing this that the little devil is even more desperate for shelling: Generally speaking, ancient Chinese city walls are basically stone-soil structures, that is, the inside of the city wall is filled with compacted soil, and the outside is covered with a layer of earth. For hard objects such as bluestone, as long as the outer hard objects are broken, the soil inside will be exposed. Then, if you bombard it a few more times, the city will not be far from collapsing.

However, the construction of Sanqiao County is really costly. After blasting away the outer layer of bluestone, there is still a layer of bluestone inside. This makes people feel desperate for the collapse of the city wall, because no one I know, even if the second layer of bluestone is blasted away, will there be a third layer, and even the entire city wall is constructed of bluestone.

For such a strong city wall, it also appeared once in Tengchong, Yunnan, China.

According to records, at that time, the Chinese Expeditionary Force returned to attack Tengchong County. As a result, whether it was bombing by U.S. planes or bombardment on the ground, the shells were almost always tilted at just the right angle, and all of them were made of bluestone. It bounced off.

In the end, the expeditionary army had no choice but to rely on people to forcibly attack the city. After paying thousands of casualties, it was considered to have occupied the entire Tengchong County, which had already been bombed into scorched earth.Thousands of people were lost in the siege alone.

In modern siege warfare, the most fearful thing is that under the intensive firepower of the enemy, one has to rely on manpower to forcibly climb the city wall.

Therefore, the faces of the little devils were pale, and it was worth understanding...
