Chapter 041: Pocket Tightening

Seeing the reinforcements coming out of Daweng Town, the officers and soldiers guarding the periphery couldn't sit still, there were still their own people fighting in front, and they didn't want to let their comrades-in-arms, who were already at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, face more enemies.

The chief of staff who was planning to encircle the Austrian ~ Army received the report, and after a little hesitation, he handed over the command and asked the officers and soldiers on the front line to obey the command of Yi Fei's subordinates.

The Honshu soldiers who came out of the mountain pass were about to enter the position, but they were swept away by dozens of fire chains that crossed the position, and those who were still alive could only lie on the ground and did not dare to move.

The machine gunner lost his life before he could put the machine gun up, and the mortar gunner was the worst, as soon as he took out the shell, it was exploded.

Natsuki Miyamoto, who came back after hearing the news, was dumbfounded. The snipers of the Tang Army were also too powerful, and the reinforcements sent out were suppressed so much that they could not organize firepower at all.

As a last resort, Natsuki Miyamoto could only order to hide the mortars behind the ruins of the city wall and diffuse fire at the positions of the Tang Army.

Receiving the artillery bombardment, the Tang army retreated very cooperatively, which finally made Miyamoto breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered the troops to withdraw. At the same time, according to the way Yi Fei built fortifications, he stepped up the digging of bunkers on the cliffs.

The killers did not pursue, and forced the Miyamoto army into the town of the Great Urn, and they completed the task.

Because of the threat of enemy mortars, the Tang army did not surround it, and the attack of the killers just now had already hurt Miyamoto, and he did not dare to send troops out to die.

The cliffs of the mountain pass are all hard granite, and the soldiers of Honshu do not have the power of easy space, so they can only punch holes in the rocks and then use explosives to open the rocks.

However, after the explosion, the rock wall could not be used as a fortification. After working for a long time, Miyamoto had to give up this futile move and make every effort to rebuild the city wall that had been blown down by himself.

However, the top of the mountain was used by him, and the high mountains around Daweng Town were full of cliffs from the outside, which could be seen from the inside. It's still possible to climb.

The fortifications were built on the top of the hill, albeit a little too high, to block the exit. The advantage of condescension is also very useful. Throw a grenade from above, and it will explode if it doesn't hit the ground.

If it weren't for Yi Fei's clever cover, the attack from the top of the mountain would have caused casualties to the killers long ago.

From the time he was trapped, Yamada organized several attacks from the top of the mountain. It's just that the killers' sniping is too sharp.

From the bunker to the top of the opposite mountain, a distance of 800 meters, the soldiers of the Yamada Army could not attack the bunker, but they were used as targets at the top of the mountain.

Originally, he wanted to delay the attack with grenades, but under the accurate blow of the sniper, he suffered heavy losses and had to terminate the plan.

When Huang Wenchang was in the bunker with the killer, the Yamada Legionnaires, who had finally climbed to the top of the mountain, were sniped intermittently.

Wait until they want to throw a grenade. Most of the grenades were blown up as soon as they were taken out. The grenade that was thrown out of hiding, even if it happened to explode outside the bunker, could not hurt the killer inside at all because of the clever structure of the bunker.

Later, Ma Yao came over with the reconnaissance company to change the guard, but he was not attacked from the top of the mountain. Yamada's troops, unaware that the bunker had been replaced, abandoned the plan of attacking from the top of the mountain.

Miyamoto's corps took control of the mountain pass and stepped up the construction of fortifications. Natsuki Miyamoto didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and be trapped in the town of the Great Urn.

In fact, even if he held the mountain pass, he was trapped here. The heavy artillery was all destroyed, and the food could only last for a few days, and if he could not cooperate with the reinforcements to open up the transportation channel, he could only starve to death in Daweng Town.

When Du Ji was blockaded in Dawen Town, there was only one regiment of the Benshu Army, and Du Ji was asked to pay the price of more than 10,000 people. only to rush out.

Now that the two armies are switching positions, it will be difficult for the Benzhou army, but there are hundreds of thousands of Tang troops outside, and quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes, even if there are millions of troops, they will not want to rush out of the narrow mountain pass.

The only hope for Miyamoto Natsuki and Yamada Nakaji is reinforcements from outside, as long as they can be taken out, the army of the Tang Dynasty is not in their eyes.

The Guards Regiment once again took on the task of blocking the mountain pass, only this time, only to block the enemy in the town of the Great Urn. And it is still an enemy without heavy firepower, there is an artillery regiment left by the chief of staff, holding the mountain pass, there is no need to use brains at all.

Yi Fei originally planned to snatch the mountain pass back, so that he would only need a very small number of troops to tie the mouth of Da Weng Town.

It's just that in this way, the credit of Du Ji's subordinates is much smaller, and the big merit has been fished out by Yi Fei's subordinates, which will make people blush. If you and your subordinates are isolated, it will not be easy to carry out the work in the future.

There are more than 80,000 people in the Austrian ~ army, and if you want to eat it in one bite, it is still very specific. Although the Tang Army is stronger, but the trapped beasts are still fighting, and if you want to destroy them, I am afraid that you will have to pay a great price with conventional fighting methods.

Not counting the two armored divisions lying on their stomachs, the enemy troops trapped in Daweng Town add up to nearly 300,000 people, and the coalition forces will not sit idly by.

Tugi Province is located between the Great River and the Huai River, and it is very convenient for water transportation, and it is also very convenient for the enemy to mobilize reinforcements, so it is necessary to eat the encircled enemy as soon as possible.

After all, there are not many troops in Dugi Province, and their appetite is only so big, if there are two more legions, they will be burst.

The operation to encircle the Austrian ~ army was very smooth. This is thanks to the development of communications, after Miyamoto was driven into the town of Daweng, he made a request to the Austrian ~ army to let them be stationed on the spot to receive reinforcements that came a few days later.

Miyamoto and Yamada discussed for a long time, but they still didn't dare to let the Austrian ~ army approach the town of the big urn, the enemy's means were too powerful, and in the hundreds of thousands of troops, they were able to blow up the artillery position of the Miyamoto army.

If this happens again, the Austrian ~ army is also driven into the town of Daweng, and their fate can be imagined.

After receiving the request of the allies, the Austrian commander General Auburn readily agreed, speaking of attack, they may be weaker than the army of the Tang Dynasty, but in terms of defense, they have absolute confidence.

First of all, the weapons of the Tang army are not advanced enough, whether it is artillery or rifles, they are one grade worse than the Austrian ~ army.

Secondly, the Tang army did not have much experience in attacking. Since the start of the war, the number of attacks by the Tang Army has been pitiful, and they have all been small-scale counterattacks.

The Austrian ~ Army, which was originally going to continue advancing, stopped and began to build fortifications, preparing for a defensive battle.

The Tang army was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly surrounded it, and very consciously stopped at a distance of 500 meters from Austria ~ before the military fortifications, and began to build fortifications. It wasn't until the next day that the encirclement was completed. (To be continued.) )
