Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

"Report, the 3rd Heavy Armored Brigade has arrived at the designated location."

"Report, the air force is ready to go!"

"Report,………"

Reports rang out in the command room. Li Jing sat on a soft chair, holding a large porcelain jar in his hand, drinking the tea in it sip by sip.

Changsun Wuji, who was standing aside, had a cigarette butt in his mouth, but his hands never stopped, continuously signing orders.

After the last order was delivered, he pinched the cigarette butt, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I have finished my job as Chief of Staff. If there is a next time, I would rather go to the front line and charge."

Li Jing, who was squinting his eyes and waiting for the smoke to dissipate, was leisurely drinking tea beside the railway. Changsun Wuji complained in annoyance.

"Ha ha……"

Li Jing laughed and patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder.

"Okay, my uncle, you should have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."

Li Jing stood up and walked to the sand table, looking at the movement of the troops on the sand table. He looked at his watch and saw that the pointer had pointed to 9 o'clock in the morning. He picked up the phone next to him and ordered calmly: "Launch the general attack according to the plan!"

"Ahem... Put on your gas masks, don't survive the battlefield only to be infected and die from the plague."

The regiment commander walked to the position, smelled the pungent stench, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, took out the gas mask and put it on his face, while also instructing the soldiers who were lying in the trenches, loading bullets boredly.

The Southern Monkey Kingdom’s army was weaker than expected, and the three lines of defense originally planned by the Second Marine Corps were not used at all.

This group of monkeys was directly blocked by the temporary positions set up by the two regiments.

These monkeys were determined enough. They launched attacks day and night in order to break through the Yan Army's positions.

The two small hills were covered with corpses.

It was still quite hot in the south at this time, and the unattended corpse soon began to smell bad.

The smell was so intoxicating that not only the soldiers guarding here, but even the soldiers on the first line of defense could smell it.

"Commander, how long are we going to hold out? Didn't we say we are just temporary? We have been fighting for three days already."

The old company commander who was following behind took a look at the situation below and asked about the doubts in his mind.

They experienced the first day's fighting and were withdrawn on the second day, with companies from the entire regiment taking turns to move up.

In the words of the team leader, the credit should be shared equally and you guys can't take all the benefits.

After three days of fighting, the two regiments were completely exhausted, and the piles of corpses below were their achievements.

Several machine gunners were even awarded second-class merit on the battlefield, which made those silly guys very happy.

"This place is still edible. You'll have something to eat when you rest later."

After kicking a soldier who secretly took off his gas mask and prepared to eat, reminding him to take good protection, the regiment commander lay on the position and looked down without answering.

Not to mention whether he knows it or not, even if he knows it, he won't tell you.

The general offensive is a secret. Only the senior commanding officers need to know about it. The lower-level soldiers do not need to know so much.

"Commander, there are orders from above!"

Just after observing through the telescope for a while, an officer ran over and handed a telegram to the regiment commander.

The regiment commander took it, took a look at it, and passed it to the old company commander next to him.

"The general attack order you requested is here!"

After he finished speaking, he said to another company commander who was following him: "Order the troops to withdraw from their positions and enter the air-raid shelter."

After saying that, he hurried back to the command center to arrange the next plan.

"Why, are you going to counterattack?"

The company commander who received the order came up to the old company commander and looked at the telegram.

It only said that the counterattack time was set at 9:30, and your troops should immediately enter the air-raid shelter to avoid accidental injuries from artillery and air force.

"Damn it, it's finally started. I can't stand this smell for another day."

After reading the order, the company commander complained, then turned around and ordered the soldiers to start packing up and prepare to retreat to the air-raid shelter.

While the Yan army was preparing, the Southern Monkey Kingdom's army was also experiencing internal problems.

After several days of attack, they failed to capture the position and instead suffered heavy losses. This made many soldiers lose confidence and question the king's command.

When the order to attack was given in the morning, the legion actually resisted the order.

"Do you want to disobey my order?"

In a temporary command tent, the King of the Southern Monkey Kingdom looked sternly at the silent officers in front of him.

"Your Majesty, it's not that our army didn't try hard, but the enemy was too tenacious."

Finally, the old general spoke up. He sighed and said, "From the time we launched the attack three days ago to now, we have lost more than 3 troops, but in the end we didn't even take the position."

"The endless casualties, the stench of decaying corpses, and the spread of malaria have caused the soldiers to lose confidence. If this continues, I'm afraid our morale will collapse."

“Haha…” The king laughed instead of getting angry, and said sarcastically: “The problems you encounter, don’t the Yan army on the other side encounter the same problems? Why can they persist, but you can’t? Does it really mean that you are really not as good as them?”

If the king's words were passed on to the Yan army's camp, there would definitely be soldiers who would reply to him, "We really didn't encounter it."

The Yan Army has a perfect logistics system and a complete medical system.

Many soldiers heading to the south had already been injected with defensive drugs before departure, mainly targeting the damp and cold environment and malaria. In addition, many soldiers had already experienced battles in the south and had already adapted to the environment here.

With the combination of several factors, the physical fitness, health and immunity of the Yan Army have indeed surpassed the armies of most forces in the current generation.

"Your Majesty, perhaps it is true."

The old general sighed softly and was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head and looked outside.

The other officers also noticed something and looked outside.

The king frowned, walked out of the tent quickly, and looked in the distance in the direction where the sound came from.

When they came out of the tent, they could vaguely see a large number of dense black spots coming towards them in the northern sky.

"what is that?"

Due to the environment in the south, the Yan Army mainly relies on the army when launching attacks, and the air force is rarely deployed.

Those who knew about the air force were also eliminated in the front. The air force did not send anyone here in the past two days. The Southern Monkey Kingdom, a backward country, really doesn't know much about things like airplanes.

"They should be migratory birds heading south, right?"

A general expressed his inner speculation.

Some people nodded in understanding, but more people remained skeptical.

The king ignored him and had someone bring a monocular telescope, which he then held up to look up at the sky.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, strange things flew out from their camp and floated in the sky.

"No, we have an enemy spy within our ranks."

Seeing the colorful ball of light flying in the sky, the old general's face changed, he shouted, turned around and ran out.

“Buzz buzz buzz…buzz buzz buzz…”

As the black spots in the sky approached, the buzzing sound became louder and louder. The Southern Monkey Kingdom's army was busy looking for the traitor while looking at the sky curiously.

"It's the enemy, it's really the enemy!"

The King of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, who was watching through a telescope, saw clearly the object flying towards him.

Under the sunlight, the thing emitted a silvery glow, and the smell of steel came towards me.

Under the wings of the big iron bird, there is a flame symbol unique to the Great Yan Kingdom.

Coupled with the strange ball of light that had just risen, the king had a bad feeling.

"Attention, bombers, drop high-explosive bombs according to the targets!"

"Dive bomber......"

Above the sky, Le Xiaoqin, who was in charge of the command, gave orders in an orderly manner.

As the flight time gets longer, Le Xiaoqin and others gradually grow up and can help Gao Hang share some of the pressure.

In the past, such large-scale operations were always led by Gao Hang himself. This time, Gao Hang did not come and handed the task over to his favorite disciple Le Xiaoqin.

Le Xiaoqin, who was conducting alone for the first time, did not disappoint his teacher and gave orders to each fighter plane in a very steady manner.

As Le Xiaoqin's order was given, 60 Flying Fortress bombers formed a bombing formation in the air and flew towards the direction where the flares were rising in the mountains and forests below.

Because this area is close to the mountains and is surrounded by dense forests, and it is approaching autumn, the Air Force did not choose the most lethal incendiary bombs to prevent a large fire from affecting the subsequent offensive process.

In order to accurately strike enemy targets, the Jinyiwei sent out secret agents to place remote control signal devices in the enemy's camp late at night.

The moment the air force arrived, they directly launched flares to indicate the direction of the enemy to the air force.

In the pilot plane, the gunner, wearing a thick leather jacket, was observing below through the gunsight.

There was a lot of fog in the mountains in the morning. In addition, there was a typhoon two days ago and the humidity was very high. The valley was filled with moisture. They were flying in the sky without any guidance and could not see the situation below clearly.

They were also thankful that the flares had strong penetrating power, otherwise they could only throw one round at a general area.

As the plane slowly moved forward, a large area of ​​light illuminated by flares appeared in his sight.

"Target locked, about to enter the bombing area!"

Looking at the target getting closer and closer, the aimer reported the situation below.

The grenadiers nearby and the vigilant machine gunners were all ready.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1...drop the bomb!"

As the aimer shouted to drop the bomb, the bombardier next to him slowly pulled the handle next to him.

With a series of clicking sounds, the weight of the fighter plane began to slowly decrease. Heavy bombs were dropped by the aerial fortress like heavy rain, penetrating the illuminated foggy area, making sharp whistling sounds, and falling into the astonished faces of the Southern Monkey Kingdom's army.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The loud explosions echoed in the valley for dozens of miles.

Standing on Lujiang City, Li Xiaogong and the commander of the Second Marine Corps looked at the area in the distance shrouded in smoke and explosions, with uncontrollable pride in their eyes.

"An invincible army, powerful weapons, and firm beliefs build a powerful empire."

Li Xiaogong couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't suppress the envy in his heart.

I don’t know when the Tang Dynasty will become such a glorious existence. (End of this chapter)
