Chapter 186: Flattening Nanguang City and capturing Lin Ziran alive
Behind the defense line of Nanguang City, Lin Ziran sat on a chair with a teacup in the city guard's mansion, Luo Mazi made tea diligently on the side, and at the same time said in Luo Li: "These Guang'an people are too faceless, they fired early this morning, and you didn't sleep well!" ”
Lin Ziran didn't speak!
He's been sleeping well these days.
I originally thought that the heavy artillery of the Guang'an people was awesome, but after seeing it with my own eyes, it was like that.
Even if they later advanced to 2,000 meters and deployed heavy artillery positions, and played an artillery battle with the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment, they basically did not cause any losses to the Chongguang defense line in the past few days.
Because from the very beginning the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment was fiercely suppressed against them.
The guns of the sixth heavy artillery were condescending, the aiming was more accurate, and the range, power and even number of the guns were to surpass the opponent, and at the same time, there were perfect and solid artillery positions as defenses.
As for the other side, they were originally at a disadvantage during the shelling, and more importantly, their artillery positions were all temporary field artillery positions, and their protective capabilities were really limited.
Even the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment did not have a good hit rate of artillery, but it was still able to hit a single shot occasionally.
Once this large-caliber grenade hits the enemy's artillery position, it can set off a bloody storm.
The opponent can't hit him, and he can occasionally hit the opponent.
After the first day's artillery battle, the opponent already suffered a lot of losses.
By the next day, the enemy's artillery was still intact, but the artillery had already lost at least half of it.
On the third day, the heavy artillery units of the Guang'an people themselves could not hold on to retreat on their own.
After an artillery battle, the artillery unit of the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment lost dozens of artillery at most, but the opponent was at least several hundred.
Until now, although the heavy artillery of those Guang'an people is still there, the artillery is basically hiding behind and not moving forward.
His own heavy artillery troops suppressed the other party, and Lin Ziran was naturally in a good mood.
If you are in a good mood, you will sleep well.
As for the early morning shelling, it was purely a wake-up call.
No, after breakfast, Lin Ziran leisurely drank tea on the observation platform of the command fortress.
At this time, the sound of footsteps from behind came, and then Wu Guanlin's voice came: "My lord! ”
Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "Hmm! ”
However, when he looked back, he saw that Wu Guanlin's face was a little urgent.
I only heard him say: "My lord, those Guang'an people have made a move, I'm afraid they are going to launch a large-scale attack!" ”
"Massive attack?" Lin Ziran was puzzled.
The Guang'an people didn't even get cheap with heavy artillery, so they still have to launch a large-scale attack in this case?
Wu Guanlin said: "It should be, in the morning, a large number of their infantry began to assemble, and they also prepared a lot of siege equipment, and those field artillery also began to move forward!" ”
When Lin Ziran heard this, he naturally couldn't sit still, and immediately said: "Let's go, go and see what tricks the Guang'an people are playing!" ”
At the same time, in the tent of the Guang'an Army outside the city, Li Kun faced a large number of generals under his command.
Judging from the expressions of many generals, it is clear that they no longer have the ease and confidence they had four days ago.
Four days ago, before the heavy artillery unit launched a formal artillery bombardment, everyone present, including Li Kun, thought that dealing with a local militia was simply a matter of capture, even if the other party had the help of the heavy artillery unit abandoned by Feng Haozhong, but it should be very easy.
Even if the opponent has a large number of heavy artillery, what about the morale of the army?
Feng Haozhong has gone south, what is the point of them defending Nanguang City?
Originally, they thought that as long as the heavy artillery unit launched an artillery attack, the other side would definitely be under great pressure, and when the time came, their own field artillery unit would be able to gain more advantages.
After the artillery units have achieved overwhelming superiority, it is time for the infantry to attack.
But what they didn't expect was that after four days, their heavy artillery units not only failed to suppress the other side, but were killed and wounded by the other side, which helped to disrupt many of their plans.
Now, we can't go on like this.
At this time, a young secretary said: "Although our heavy artillery battalion has been suppressed, it can still fight only if it is supplemented by artillery, and at the same time, the field artillery will quickly follow up, arrive within a kilometer to carry out artillery bombardment, and use our advantage in the number of artillery to completely suppress the enemy." ”
"Although the field artillery units may be intercepted by the opponent's heavy artillery during the advance, as long as they are dispersed, this loss can be bearable, and as long as the field artillery units can go up, then we can regain the artillery advantage."
"When the time comes, the infantry will launch a charge and rely on the superiority of troops to completely crush the opponent!"
"They may be able to withstand long-distance artillery battles, but when we launch a general attack, even if the opponent's Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment can maintain the battle, what about those militia soldiers in Lin Ziran?"
"Will they be able to hold out while our tens of thousands of infantry are charging?"
Shaoqing, who spoke, was full of confidence: "Can't!" ”
"As long as we launch a general attack, the collapse of the other party is inevitable!"
"In war, although weapons are very important, the morale of the army is even more important!"
"And the morale of the army and the bravery of the soldiers are our advantages!"
The others also opened their mouths, saying that if they rushed up, they could win.
But Li Kun above was still worried, although he had decided to launch a general attack today yesterday, and even the troops had already begun to prepare.
But he still had worries in his heart.
It's not that he's worried that he won't be able to take Nanguang City, in fact, he still has great confidence in this.
His fear was that the casualties would be too high.
The total strength of his Second Army was more than 25,000 people, of which several thousand remained in Chongguang City and the surrounding areas, and 20,000 people came to the front line of Nanguang City.
Lin Ziran's department, which was stationed in Nanguang City, although there were not many troops, it was still a militia group that he looked down on, but there were thousands of people.
They relied on the fortified city to defend it, and they were still able to inflict some casualties on them.
If the offensive loss is too great, even if Nanguang City is taken in the end, then it will be difficult to have enough strength to continue to go south in the future.
After all, there are still Feng Haozhong and them in the south.
Although Luo An's army was in civil strife, the strength of the major feudal towns was not weakened much, and the strength under each feudal town was not much worse than his second army.
And the reinforcements he will be able to get will definitely not be much.
Because there are more than one internal struggle with the Luo'an army, there are also many contradictions between the three major feudal towns of Guang'an.
If Li Kun loses too much of his plan, his voice within Guang'an will decline rapidly, which is not a good thing.
Listening to the words of the generals under his command, Li Kun finally made up his mind: "Since this is the case, then all departments should start acting according to the predetermined plan!" ”
"Let's just rush up in one breath!"
"Set foot in Nanguang City and capture Lin Ziran alive!"
