After receiving Lin Ziran's letter, Liang Chenglei also learned from Lin Ziran's letter about the huge pressure faced by the unified army today.

If the war drags on for a long time, unnecessary changes may occur, not to mention, and the negative impact on the follow-up will be relatively large.

In this case, it is necessary to appropriately speed up the process of the Beijing Division.

Originally, Liang Chenglei also planned to use the Battle of Jingshi to squeeze out the last drop of blood from the surrounding three states.

As long as it takes a month or two like this, he will be able to completely consume the mobile forces of the surrounding three states!

But Liang Chenglei is also a high-level general of the Daheng Unification Army, and he will consider the problem not only from a military point of view, but also from other aspects.

To this end, he decided to speed up the progress of the Jingshi campaign.

With Liang Chenglei's order, the troops of the Jingzhou Front Army accelerated the pace of the offensive, especially the troops in the urban area on the south bank, and the attacks became more and more frequent.

In this case, the Jingzhou defenders in the southern bank city area are becoming more and more uncomfortable.

The offensive troops of the Daheng Unification Army adopted the strategy of artillery bombardment and infantry encroachment piece by piece, which seemed to be fighting little by little, but in fact the overall progress was very fast.

In particular, the gap between the two sides in terms of strength and firepower is huge, and the gap in firepower is showing an ever-increasing effect.

In the first week of the battle, the defenders' artillery was still well supplied with shells to support infantry battles and even launch long-range suppressive counterattacks.

But after a week of continuous high-intensity fighting, their shells were already consumed.

They also encountered the problem that the Daheng Unification Army faced many times, that is, the single ammunition stored in advance was originally expected to last for three months or even half a year, but they did not expect that under high-intensity combat, this shell could only be used for a week!

The most critical thing is that they do not have ammunition replenishment!

Although the offensive troops of the Daheng Unification Army were consumed very quickly because of the high-intensity operations in the early stage, so that after a week of attacking, the ammunition reserves of many troops had been exhausted, but the problem was that there was still a steady stream of ammunition behind the Daheng Unification Army that could be replenished.

Even if the amount of ammunition replenished is not very sufficient, but it is better to replenish it.

And the defenders on the opposite side have no ammunition to replenish!

As a result, the two sides crackled and crackled, and the excitement was incomparably with hundreds of artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of breech-loading rifles for about a week, during which shells and bullets were consumed.

Its firepower is so dense and the ammunition consumption is huge, so that the personnel of all countries watching the battle are dumbfounded!

According to the density of firepower of the warring sides in the Battle of Jingshi, I am afraid that many countries will not be able to maintain this intensity of engagement for a week even if they exert all their national strength.

Even the spectators of those big countries were worried after watching the battle of Jingshi, Nima, these Daheng people fought too hard.

The battle of the Beijing Division lasted only a week, and it is estimated that the ammunition sold out could deplete the ammunition reserves of a medium-sized country.

Fortunately, this kind of high-intensity fighting also lasted for about a week, and after seven or eight days, the firepower of the defenders, especially the artillery counterattack, became scarce.

And the Daheng Unification Army on the attacking side, the artillery fire is not so intensive.

In this way, it can be regarded as a relief for the spectators from all countries!

Nima, if they continued to fight like this according to the dispatch of the first week of the Jingshi Campaign, they would have to wonder if the ammunition of the Daheng people was not worth money.

However, Rao is like this, and it also makes them deeply realize that the mode of war in the future may be completely changed.

How to change?

Weaponry brings about tactical and even strategic changes, and this change is extremely dependent on a country's industrial capacity.

If it were not for an industrial country, it would not have been able to fight a war of this model in front of us!

Of course, there is one exception to the non-industrial country, and that is the Orr Kingdom!

The military representatives of the Orr Kingdom, but as military observers, directly followed the Daheng Unification Army to watch the battle, and their understanding of this battle was more profound, and these military observers of the Orr Kingdom, after watching the Battle of Jingshi, the first feeling was to report that the country must increase the procurement of rear-loading rifled weapons, especially to stock up on enough ammunition.

As for money, the Orr kingdom is not bad for money!

Even if the Orr Kingdom does not have a large-scale industrial system of its own, it can't even mass-produce these breech-loading rifled weapons and ammunition on its own, and even the bullets have to be imported, but people have money, and they can directly throw out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, which is enough for them to hoard a huge number of weapons and ammunition, and then fight a high-intensity modern war.

Even the Orr Kingdom still wondered if it was taking advantage of the fact that it had just been equipped with rear-loading rifled weapons, and several opponents in the surrounding countries were not equipped with rear-loading rifled weapons, so as to make a preemptive strike.

They began to contact and purchase new weapons from the Daheng Unification Army the year before last, and last year they began to accept new weapons one after another, although because of the huge demand within the Daheng Unification Army, they did not accept many new weapons.

However, some of them were still accepted, and a large number of Roan II rifles/Fuyuan rifles, that is, rear-loading rifled rifles converted from 18mm smoothbore guns.

This kind of rear-loading rifled rifle modified from a smoothbore gun was modified by the Daheng Unification Army itself, and hundreds of thousands were later captured, because in the past few years, the feudal towns in Daheng, because of the needs of the war, and at the same time could not mass-produce the new 13-mm breech-loading rifle of the Luo'an III rifle, so they all put their ideas on the modification.

In the Daheng Unified Army, the internal front-line troops have been completely disarmed with this transitional weapon, and they are only equipped in the second-line local garrison troops and patrol law enforcement forces, so there are a lot of extra reserves, some of which are directly exported to the Orr Kingdom.

Of course, the Orr Kingdom itself actually doesn't look down on these transitional weapons, they just buy them for a transition, and when the ordered Luo'an III rifles arrive in large quantities, they will be transferred to their few poor country brothers cheaply or simply for free.

In any case, now there are more than 100,000 18mm modified breech rifles on the side of the Orr Kingdom, and about 3,000 Roan III rifles have also been obtained.

About 50 breech-loading rifled guns have arrived one after another, so people are already thinking about whether to take advantage of the equipment advantage to fight a wave.

The outside countries had different ideas, and none of them could interfere with the actions of the Jingzhou Front of the Daheng Unification Army.

After Liang Chenglei ordered the troops to speed up the offensive, although the casualties increased, the progress was greatly accelerated.

Especially a week after the outbreak of the battle, when the defenders' ammunition was exhausted and there was not enough ammunition to support it, the offensive of the unified army was more smooth.

On 16 July, the troops of the United Army in the city had completely occupied the Dongcheng and Nancheng districts of the capital district, and the troops had already reached the inner city directly, and the nearest front-line troops were only less than 500 meters away from the imperial palace, and they were only separated by a palace wall and an open space outside the palace wall.

The battle came to this point, in fact, the defenders in the city, especially the defenders in the south bank city, were almost exhausted of ammunition, and suffered heavy losses.

At this time, even if they wanted to continue to resist, but they lacked troops, ammunition, and low morale, they could not resist the fierce attack of the unified army.

Sure enough, just three days later, Xicheng District was also completely taken by the unified army.

At this time, the unified army has already completed the encirclement of the inner city!

But the Unification Army did not continue the offensive.

This was not due to the fact that the Unification Army was running out of ammunition or suffering too many casualties to attack, but because of the outbreak of military rebellion in the inner city at this time.

They fought on their own.
