Chapter 1169: Liang County Resistance Battle (16) (New book will be opened in October, please pay attention)
The explosion of the ammunition depot gave Cross a solid blow to the head, and he almost went crazy with anger:
"Damn alien animals, I swear, I'm going to eat them alive! Nord. ”
"What do you command?"
"Immediately tell Oka that the alien animal has used aerial weapons, and we are running out of munitions."
"Is that all?"
Nord asked, and Cross lashed:
"Do you want me to ask him how to end it, let him do this mess himself!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Since the range of human artillery was far inferior to that of axillary howitzers, Cross hoarded ammunition in an open field thirty-five miles away from the front line of the Xian army, which was closer to the port and his artillery positions and front-line troops, so it was impossible to be hit by the Xian artillery in any case.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and Cross never expected that humans would develop an aerial platform unit, and create a good start in the first actual battle, hitting the ammunition depot in the first battle.
Soon, the news reached Marshal Oka's flagship by a messenger just before noon, and Oka was shocked to hear that Cross's ammunition depot had been destroyed.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, these alien animals have made flying weapons."
At this time Admiral Kusa said:
"Didn't we discover their flying weapons earlier?"
"But those inferior things are not enough to threaten us, and this time they have used even more powerful air weapons, and now the war is becoming more and more passive!"
Under the current technical conditions, hot air balloons are limited by many restrictions such as load, wind direction, manipulation, and supply of lifting materials, and can barely carry out high-altitude observation and perform simple military tasks.
But to be used for a large number of bombing, there is not even an engine propeller and a direction control system, and it is impractical to carry out local bombing. And due to the restriction of the altitude of lift-off, most of the current hot air balloons do not fly high, and the armpit heavy machine gun is completely within reach.
But the airboat is different, its ceiling is high, the load is heavy, there is a power and direction control system, and it can carry out the bombing of local targets, of course, the accuracy of this bombing is not much different from that of a hot air balloon, much worse than a traditional bomber, but after all, the bomb load is large, and the amount can make up for the lack of accuracy.
Armpit people are well aware of the limitations of hot air balloons, so they are not worried about the harm caused to them by human hot air balloons. But this time it was different, the airship was a brand new flying device, and their current weapons could not actually harm it.
Oka was annoyed and angry, but he was still shocked by the technological power that surpassed his own, and said:
"I have a very bad feeling that the current problem is just a small trouble, and there will be more trouble in the future."
Admiral Kusa replied:
"Are you still ready to implement your plan? Without enough shells, Cross's artillery can't provide enough support, and the alien cannons are enough to suppress his artillery group, your plan may not succeed. ”
"No, the fleet still has ammunition reserves, and I'll get them ashore as soon as possible, and that's enough to start a battle."
"But if the alien beast blows up Cross's ammunition or howitzer swarm again, the consequences will be even more serious."
"This time, all ammunition is stored separately and discreetly to reduce the chance of exposure."
The explosion of the Cross munition station lasted for four whole days, with countless casualties, in order to prevent the coalition forces from launching a counterattack, Cross pressed the main force in Gaohu Village and the Black Raven Forest to hide, if the coalition forces attacked, he would abandon the frontal position and lead the coalition forces between the two wings to eat.
Of course, Bai Liyan did not launch an attack, even if Cross's battle plan could not be stolen, but the situation of the enemy and us in the relative situation determined the logical base quantity, and through the comparison and analysis of these quantities, it was completely possible to prejudge Cross's possible combat intentions.
On the afternoon of the day of the battle, the airboat dropped all its bombs, returned at dusk, and landed in the south of Yongping City.
At the same time, Clos, without an arsenal, could only stop shelling, he no longer had enough ammunition base to support pointless and sporadic shelling.
In the days that followed, the battlefield had subsided considerably, and without the harassment of the shelling, the tense nerves of the coalition forces could finally be relaxed, and their morale was restored by the explosion at the munitions station. Bailiyan continued to dispatch airboats to carry out bombing, and used cameras to photograph the battlefield and obtain ground intelligence information.
In the early morning of October twenty-first, in the Xianjun camp in the south of Liang County, Zhou Kong got up to wash, and then called the female guard outside the tent:
"Xiaoqin, bring me a basin of water."
"No!"
While waiting, Zhou Kong combed her black and shiny hair, and before she knew it, more than ten years had passed, and she was still so young, and she was probably already old if she was another woman with a humble status. Thinking of this, Zhou Kong sighed in his heart, and his combing movements couldn't help but slow down.
At this time, there was a sound of talking outside the tent, and the female guard saluted Baili Yan:
"Hou Ye is early."
"The two girls are early, but General Zhou is waking up."
"Back to the Hou Ye, the general has just woken up."
Zhou Kong's female guards are all guards in the house, and they all know Bailiyan, and they don't pay much attention to greeting each other.
In the account, Zhou Kong was combing his hair at this time, Bai Liyan had a little good intentions in his heart, he took two steps forward and hugged her shoulders and said softly:
"How do you feel after a few days of silence?"
"It's much more comfortable, but it's not better than at home."
"That's, after all, abroad. Now it's not the same as before, the two armies are facing each other for more than ten or twenty miles, and they are all in formation, and there were no artillery back then, so they couldn't threaten the camp. Nowadays, both the enemy and the enemy have artillery, and the firing range of more than ten or twenty or thirty miles is exposed to the threat in real time, and anyone will be afraid of when a shell will fall and lose their lives. ”
The forms of war are changing, but the essence of war remains the same.
Whether it is a cold weapon or a hot war, all of them have the highest purpose of killing the enemy and the highest level of destroying the enemy's living forces. Thirty years ago and thirty years later, it is still the same, only the weapons at hand and the thinking and cognition have changed.
The husband and wife said some intimate words, and when they were young, Zhou Kong asked:
"You came to my account early in the morning to have something to do."
"Exactly, Sun Guo's seeds and farming tools have arrived in Gyeonggi Nam-gun, you have someone go and pick them up."
"When did you buy seeds and farming tools from Sun Guo, I don't know."
"Oh, I asked you to send people to various parts of the Liang Kingdom to buy seeds and farm tools, but I didn't expect it to be fast, so I bought some from Sun Wang Zhenkuo at a low price. Next year, if the situation permits, some walk-behind harvesters will have to be brought in from China to harvest rice here to facilitate the use of troops in the future. ”
Married to Bailiyan for many years, Zhou Kong knows Bailiyan's methods very well, he said:
"In this way, the Xian army will be stationed here for a long time."
"Not only the Xian army, I want to set up base camps on the eastern and western fronts to prepare for the counteroffensive, so I must first manage the local foundation for the northern expedition of the coalition army."
After three years of fierce battles, Bailiyan felt more and more urgent about the situation, and the previous "drag" word tactics were already stretched.
In the early years, it was decided to take advantage of the convenience and inconvenience of the geographical location, drag the armpit on the Changsun Peninsula, exchange space for time, strive for more strategic time, and expand and upgrade the industry of Xianguo. Now that the goal has been basically achieved, the situation has also undergone significant changes.
First of all, the comparison of naval strength, Xian does not have the manufacturing capacity to manufacture ironclad ships and modern ships, and even if there is, it will need to consume a lot of industrial production capacity to produce the accessories required for ships, which will seriously restrict the production of army equipment. Therefore, at present, and even for a long time to come, it is impossible for the navy of the Xian State to match it in terms of quantity and quality.
Despite the poor overall performance, the speed and convenience of the construction of ironclad warships are faster than those of sailing ships after industrial systematization, and the cycle of seafarer training is shorter.
In short, once the ironclad ship is produced on a large scale, it will be a dumpling, but the Xian army is still at the level of wooden warships, so it will not be able to match it in the short and medium term.
Second, the industrial scale of the axillary is much larger than that of Xianguo, and although its technical paths are different, it has a complete systematic scientific research system, and the intelligence of its scientific research elites is higher than that of human beings.
In this case, through seizure and even reverse research and copying, the equipment of the Xian army can be copied in a short period of time, although the process is long and short due to chemical and conceptual constraints, but it is undeniable that it will cause huge losses to the Central Plains, and the longer the time, the higher the probability of this kind of probability.
Third, the comparison of the data of the Storm Modeling shows that the strength of the Central Plains Army will be equal to the strength of the axillary in the year, but this is based on the absolute superiority of the second and human numbers.
If the gun and ammunition technology of the Xianguo is quickly copied and the technical results are achieved in chemistry, it will correspondingly cancel out the superiority of human beings in army technology and numbers, so this time will be shortened.
In the end, and what Bai Liyan is most worried about, his political capital and popularity have reached the first person in the history of the Central Plains to reach the peak, and no one can match him. But as time passed, his generation, and the upper and lower generations, were aging.
Once the curtain of their generation comes to an end, it will be even more difficult to achieve basic reunification, because industry is no longer a secret, and the proliferation of guns and ammunition and the widespread production of low-tech arms will bring huge obstacles to the reunification of the Central Plains of the Xian Kingdom, and even trigger a full-scale civil war, which is the result he does not want to see.
Based on a variety of factors, making strategic adjustments in a timely manner will help to cope with changes in the situation.
At the same time, the increasing understanding of the axillary people also made Bailiyan more and more convinced that they were not invincible. As Randy said, all species and civilizations have their inevitable talents and flaws, and axillary people are no exception.
While talking to Zhou Kong, Xiaoqin returned from fetching water, and at this time, two moments had passed since he went to the water, and Zhou Kong couldn't help but wonder very much. So he asked her:
"Xiaoqin, how can you swallow the water so slowly today."
"Madam, there is no water in the jug, so I had to go to the hot water room and get two thermos first."
"Oh, let's put it here for now."
"No."
