Chapter 281 Offensive and defensive battles on the southern front
Roman battlefields.
The fortress of the Nameless Mountain Range is now surrounded by the forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Guns and cannons rang out in unison, blowing up smoke and dust inside and outside the fortress, filling a large area of airspace with the wind.
Zhang Tao was choked with tears and snot in the smoke of gunpowder, coughing and commanding the soldiers to fight: "Brothers, beat me hard!" ”
"Yes, kill the enemy, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, kill!"
Fearless of death, the soldiers took control of the light and heavy machines, and launched a frantic strafing fire on the enemy through the holes of the fortress guns.
The rain of bullets poured down, drowning a large area of enemy troops.
It's like a meat grinder, killing and wounding thousands of people in minutes.
A wave of enemy troops was driven back by the soldiers and crushed.
But after a while, the second group of enemy troops came up and attacked again, and fought an endless war of attrition.
The ammunition in the fortress is running out.
Zhang Tao was anxious, but he couldn't help it, so he shouted at the herald: "What's the situation behind our army?" ”
"Report to the general, our army is full of foreigners.
Armed with light and heavy weapons, they blocked our retreat! ”
The herald ran to the general in a gray body, threw a military salute and said, there is no way back.
Only fight to the death and be loyal to the country!
There is no choice!
Of course, there are still a few flying trap beasts in the fortress warehouse for generals to retreat from the air.
But when the battle comes to this, which general has the face to retreat?
To retreat is to desert soldiers, abandon their comrades, and be greedy for life and afraid of death.
This article alone, no one dared to mention the retreat.
Zhang Tao couldn't retreat either, so he pulled off the big cap on his head that was pierced by bullets, and roared angrily: "Soldiers are not afraid of a battle.
Defend the country and be loyal to it.
But our army can't all be buried here, we have to leave a few seeds.
Break out of the encirclement of the enemy army and bear the burden of humiliation for the reconstruction of the first army of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, I ordered a special battalion of the first army to wait for the opportunity to fight its way out of the encirclement! ”
"General, the special battalion pleads for beheading operations, and will never be a deserter!"
Zhang Yang, the commander of the special battalion, immediately quit, saluted and asked for battle, and did not become a deserter when he died.
As the benchmark battalion of the first army, from top to bottom, including the firehead army, one is counted as one, and the military quality is among the best.
At this point in existence, what is it to be a deserter?
Abandon glory and turn your back on your comrades...... Nor would that allow them to retreat.
Otherwise, life is better than death!
Zhang Tao saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and could understand the feelings of the soldiers of the special battalion, but if they didn't withdraw, who would they withdraw?
Who has the combat power to break out of the encirclement of enemy troops?
This kind of peak operation, except for the special battalion, no team can do it.
After all, the special battalion is a team composed of Qi practitioners in accordance with the strategy formulated by Wang Langjun and combined with cultivation.
The strength is not a problem with one block hundred.
Combined with their ability to control thermal weapons, it won't be too difficult to break out.
After all, there is a ragtag army composed of a group of foreigners behind him, and he can't help fighting.
However, it is impossible for the army to retreat completely, creating a situation of pursuit and killing for the enemy army, and the consequences are unimaginable.
It was necessary to leave a force to block the enemy forces and cover the retreat of the special battalion.
As soon as Zhang Tao thought of this, he waved his hand and said: "Nonsense, the battle situation in front of you is the crisis brought about by the beheading operation of your special battalion.
Don't you understand what that means? ”
"General, our special battalion is right, it was indeed decapitated!"
Zhang Yang was very aggrieved and failed to understand the general's hints.
In total, the special battalion was beheaded five times in a row, and each time it killed all the people in the enemy command.
It is said that the results are remarkable, and the effect of chaotic enemies has been achieved.
The worst can also make the enemy lose its commander and mess up for a while.
On the contrary, however, the enemy forces were not only not confused by the loss of their commanders, but intensified their attacks.
Fearless of death, intriguing.
It doesn't make sense!
Could it be that the decapitation of the special battalion is all fake command and officers in the guise of the enemy?
How is that possible?
Zhang Yang doesn't know what he did wrong?
The decapitation operation did not work, but rather did a bad thing.
What the hell is this?
Zhang Tao roared angrily: "Stupid, there are too many enemy troops, do you understand?"
You led the men to kill all the commanders in front of the enemy army.
Leaving a group of soldiers without a command, they were greeted by artillery fire behind them.
Driven by artillery fire, they will charge into battle, and if they do not charge, they will die.
This is the tactics of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is divided into battalions, and in order to win the victory, let others go to death, and lie down on a sunny avenue, understand? ”
The battlefield is ruthless, people are not recognized, and only orders are duty.
Disobedience is immediately executed.
In this case, all the military personnel have no choice.
They can only charge into battle and fight their way out!
Of course, the top general of the enemy army is not a fool, and the main thing is to order the soldiers in front to consume the ammunition of the Sui Dynasty army and fight a war of attrition.
You can't just force your soldiers to charge.
If you don't give them a way to live, the light of hope, they will mutiny.
Zhang Tao saw through the enemy's intentions, and now faced the danger of running out of ammunition, he had to order the special battalion to retreat.
Otherwise, don't even want to live alone!
But the banner of the first army of the Sui Dynasty cannot be fell!
The experience and merits of the soldiers who died on the battlefield cannot be bought here, and they are still tarnished and slandered by the enemy.
This is Zhang Tao's hope that the special battalion will break out of the encirclement, reproduce the glory of the first army of the Sui Dynasty, and let the world remember the glory of the first army killed on the battlefield.
Zhang Yang said with tears in his eyes: "Why?
Why is this happening?
Why choose the special battalion retreat.
Woo, I'm not reconciled!
Don't be a deserter!
Don't we have any other way?
Did the Sui Dynasty give up an army?
Did Wang Langjun sit idly by and ignore the life or death of our brothers in the First Army? ”
"You shut up Lao Tzu, Shangfeng did not support our army, there must be something unspeakable.
After all, the war came abruptly and unexpectedly.
Although the Sui Dynasty had a developed industry and there was no shortage of trucks to transport soldiers and materials, the time was too short for the imperial court to react.
Do you think everyone can fly like monks? ”
Zhang Tao scolded in tears, for fear that his words would shake the morale of the army and make him angry.
And deep down, I am also questioning why the imperial court is so slow to react?
The most unfortunate thing is to bring a letter over, and if you die on the battlefield, you can also be a ghost or not!
It's better than dying unjustly and dying on the way to questioning others.
Besides, does cousin Wang Langjun really care about the life or death of the first army?
Zhang Tao couldn't believe it, and he had expectations in his heart.
Otherwise, I'm really worried that I'll scare myself to death.
After all, he had never experienced this kind of great war, and he was bombarded with artillery like mountains and seas, and the whole world was rumbling and resounding.
It's like the sky is falling.
Who is not afraid of being in the middle of the bumps left and right, and standing unsteadily?
If the fortress had not been watered with reinforced concrete, it could withstand the bombardment of artillery fire, and the officers and men of the whole army would have been bombarded into slag by enemy artillery fire a long time ago.
"Wow, General, come and see, our reinforcements are coming......"
"Hold the grass, what a big battle......"
"Bomb, blow up the enemy army, hahaha......"
The reinforcements came, and the soldiers of the first army of the Sui Dynasty guarded the clouds and saw the moon, and celebrated dancing in the fortress......
