858. Gambling and winning and losing
The sound of heavy machine guns at night was deafening, and the orange-red bullets were thrown out like practice, and in front of them were the barbarian vanguard troops that were constantly rushing.
This scene made the soldiers feel their adrenaline soaring just by looking at it and listening to the gunshots in their ears.
"These barbarians don't really think they'll be able to charge in this way," muttered one of the Tinder soldiers, turning his head to look at the tarpaulin-covered machinery on the walls, where heavy machinery stood quietly beneath the gray-green tarpaulin.
P5092 silently watched as the barbarians got closer and closer, and the leather shields they held were getting closer and closer, and the adjutant said on the side: "Sir, we can't wait any longer, if the shield is not broken when they rush into the distance of three hundred meters, our defense line will be in danger." ”
But even so, P5092 still didn't speak, because the thousands of barbarians stretched for several kilometers, and the last barbarians in the rear had not yet entered the position he expected.
He mentally calculated the distance until a certain moment, P5092 said, "The artillery unit fires." ”
The gray-green tarpaulin on the city wall was suddenly pulled open by the soldiers, and the rapid-fire artillery suddenly revealed its true face, in the combat sequence of the third division of P5092, the most proud thing was not the physical fitness of the Tinder soldiers above ordinary people, but the artillery unit.
The Third Division contained two special infantry brigades, each consisting of 18 artillery batteries, each of which was in a separate sequence of six artillery batteries, which pooled artillery fire to provide rapid fire coverage of a single target.
This huge artillery matrix can even become a huge "artillery battery" when necessary, only to hit targets in the same area.
When he was in Longtan Canyon, it was just a small test for the artillery company, and now it was the time for the Third Division to shine, and it was precisely because of this that P5092 dared to hang the corpses of the barbarians outside his garrison area, and did not mind the barbarians coming to attack his defense line.
On the contrary, he would have hoped that the anger of those barbarians could burn more vigorously and rush closer.
The rapid-fire gun equipped with the artillery unit is only 76.2 mm in caliber, but its rate of fire has reached an astonishing 20 rounds per minute, which inevitably sacrifices accuracy, but the P5092 does not care at all.
The barbarian is a target moving at high speed, and it doesn't make much sense to emphasize accuracy, rather than aiming seriously, it is better to plow the ground with artillery.
The moment the barbarians entered the one-kilometer range, the light rapid-fire artillery on the city wall began to roar, compared to them, the previous heavy machine gun sound can only be regarded as a dog barking, and these cannons are real beasts!
The huge artillery matrix blew up the charging barbarian formations in just the first round, and the leather shields they relied on for cover looked extremely small under the action of the shells.
The Tinder soldiers on the Great Wall cheered with joy, they were all furious when they heard about the massacre, and some people said that the scouts saw the barbarians piling up the corpses of the 176 people outside the city into small hills, as a way to swear the strength of the expeditionary legion.
Someone has seen sporadic accounts of the pre-cataclysmic war in books, which say that the Central Plains civilization was also slaughtered in the war, and the death toll in a war was as high as hundreds of thousands, and most of them were innocent civilians.
That battle was defined as a day of national shame and must be remembered by all.
Now, the significance of the slaughter of Barrier 176 for the entire Central Plains is that it makes all the Central Plains people clearly aware that this is a battle for the survival of the race, a battle that will never stop fighting.
Since the day of the slaughter of Barrier 176, there has been no possibility of peace talks in this war.
When the artillery unit began to plow the ground, the barbarians finally began to retreat, and in the face of the powerful firearms of the Central Plains humans, they had to retreat.
But just now P5092 was too calm, and he waited until these barbarians rushed into a range of a thousand meters before ordering the artillery troops to open fire, so even if the barbarians retreated now, there would not be many people left.
A forward force of thousands of people, hundreds of people can be considered lucky to get out alive.
The adjutant asked, "Sir, is it a pursuit?"
"Pursuit," P5092 said coldly, "according to the plan B I made before, the rest of the people will wait until dawn to hang the corpses of these barbarians for me, so that more barbarians can remember this place." ”
As he spoke, the main force of the Tinder began to attack, and the feeling of the army pressing on made the artillery units on standby on the city wall feel excited.
They drove the off-road vehicle loaded with the heavy machine gun to the north, with the aim of completing the final harvest on the battlefield.
However, at this time, P5092's face still did not show the joy of victory, and he ordered someone to bring a telescope and quietly look into the distance.
More than ten kilometers north of the Great Wall, there will be a forest there, and the Tinder troops still want to find out how much strength the expeditionary corps is hidden in that wood, but all the scouts who entered have lost contact.
No one knows what the hell is hidden there, but these vanguard troops?P5092 thinks more than that.
The main force of the Third Division was getting closer and closer to the woods, and the barbarians who had survived were running towards the woods as if they were desperate.
Slowly, because of the bumpy terrain, the formation of the main force of Tinder began to be a little disjointed, some companies rushed forward, and some fell behind.
When the troops at the front were about to enter the two-kilometer range outside the woods, what everyone didn't expect was that gunfire also lit up in the woods.
The Tinder troops that pursued them first were instantly hit by heavy machine gun bullets, and there were even mortar sounds in the woods.
But the next moment, the barbarians hiding in the woods suddenly discovered that except for the hundreds of Tinder soldiers who died at the front, the other soldiers actually retreated immediately 4.5 kilometers away from the woods, as if they knew the coverage of their firepower, and left early!
At this time, the barbarians realized that the main force of Tinder was not left behind at all, but deliberately did not keep up, but the main force came to pursue with great momentum, so that the barbarians could not distinguish between the virtual and the real.
Moreover, no one noticed that the lighting tracer bullets in the sky had stopped at some point, which was also like one of the details carefully prepared for the feint, without tracer lighting, the barbarians could not see the specific situation of the main force of the Tinder even more clearly.
In this short game, many people did not expect that the barbarians would also use thermal weapons, and before that, everyone thought that they would only carry axes and cut people like natives!
But P5092 used the lives of hundreds of people to tell the other commanders of Tinder that they were more cunning than they thought.
But in any case, in this short game, P5092 won again.
The adjutant asked, "Sir, how do you know that the barbarians will use thermal weapons?"
The so-called Plan B is a feint plan, and P5092 didn't plan to really kill the remaining barbarians from the beginning, but just used death squads to spy on the truth.
Although some people died in this game, for a huge war, it is definitely worth it for the commander to be able to get extremely important information with the lives of hundreds of people.
As Ren Xiaosu concluded, although the group of Tinder people is fighting against the enemy from the north, this will not affect their ruthless and ruthless nature in the slightest.
If this victory requires him to sacrifice P5092, then P5092 will probably sacrifice himself without hesitation.
They are cruel to others, but they are also very good to their own people, everything they ask for is just for the end result, and the process is not important at all.
"Although they have lacked the manufacturing process of thermal weapons, everyone knows the power of thermal weapons," P5092 said slowly, "After the fall of Barrier 176, there is a large amount of military force there, and there is no reason for the barbarians not to use it. However, I can't guarantee until I'm sure. Go find the intelligence system, and before dawn I need to know what heavy firepower was originally stored in Barrier 176. ”
With that, P5092 turned around and went down the Great Wall, which would be a protracted war, and there was no need to consume himself on top of the Great Wall.
......
Good night everyone
