Seeing this, Bai Liyan picked up the phone and called Yongping City:

"General Zhao, where is Peng Zhi?"

"I'll call him."

When he was young, Peng Zhi took the phone:

"The last general, Peng Zhi, is waiting for dispatch."

"Does the royal guest have a war horse?"

"There are war horses, what is the use of Yongxing Hou?"

"How many?"

"Our army and the Liang army have more than 4,000 horses."

"Have you done habilitation?"

"Yes, after months of fierce fighting, most of the horses have adapted to the guns."

"Well, gather the horses, I'll have another use."

"No!"

In the early days of the emergence of hot weapons, to the evolution of breech-loading rifles, cavalry always had a certain tactical suppression effect on infantry in local battles, but after the appearance of machine guns, all the tactical value of cavalry disappeared.

The firepower network of a few or even a dozen machine guns, together with the rifles and bayonets in the hands of the infantry, dealt a devastating blow to the cavalry charge, and the role of the cavalry in the war was basically lost.

The forward movement of the armpit heavy artillery poses a huge threat to the coalition forces, and it is necessary to take out its heavy artillery group by surprise, even if it is to be paralyzed by heavy damage, it is enough to change the current passive situation, and cavalry is obviously the only choice at the moment.

Hanging up Peng Zhi's phone, Bai Liyan connected to Jiang Jie:

"How's the battle going there?"

"The armpit infantry has opened four gaps along my position, and the last general is trying his best to block them."

"Hold your position at any cost, you let Zhou Deyan come to my headquarters immediately."

"No!"

Zhou Deyan and Jiang Jie are at the same level, and they are both metropolitan governors, but Jiang Jie is the captain of the column, and Zhou Deyan is the captain of the wing, which is one level worse, and Jiang Jie is better in ability. After all, he has been with him all year round, and he has learned more ideas and knowledge than Zhou Deyan's, so it is not surprising that he has outstanding abilities.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Deyan rushed to the command post at the head of the city:

"The last general, Zhou Deyan, was ordered to report for duty."

"Well, General Zhou, come and see."

Baili Yan led Zhou Deyan to the map, pointed to the terrain twenty miles away, and said:

"There are signs of advancing to the front of our army, and your task is to insert it from the west side of Jiang Jie's column to Gaohu Village, forcibly occupy this place, and then assault to the northeast, eliminate the enemy's forward heavy artillery position, and then withdraw not to fight."

"Assault to the north from the current position, at least fifteen miles, the enemy is in full swing, even if our army attacks from the flank, it may not be able to reach the intended defense."

Zhou Deyan was worried, and Bai Liyan said to him:

"I have prepared 4,000 war horses for you, you lead the men and horses of the headquarters, transfer the second and third wings, thirty pickups, ten 15.5 heavy machine guns, and twenty 121 rocket launchers, and launch an attack in three days.

But before that, you first go to Yongping City to take over the military horses from Peng Zhi, the governor of the Imperial Guest, and do some adaptability training. Remember, withdraw immediately when you achieve your goal, and don't fall in love with war. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Animals have a natural fear of intense sound, light and fire, even humans. Before all the horses of the Xian army entered the service, they had to carry out bombing adaptation training, and repeated training at regular intervals, so that the horses could adapt to the battlefield environment.

Most of the horses of Liang Jun and Yuke have not undergone adaptive training, and although the fierce battle of more than three months in the early stage has made up for a lesson, Bai Liyan is still worried that the horses will not be able to adapt to the battlefield environment, so he asked Zhou Deyan to seize the time to train the horses first.

At this time, the battle line was fully fired, and the automatic weapons of the Xian army gained an advantage on the battlefield, and the Xian army's grenade launchers and mortars overturned the shield array.

Once it enters hand-to-hand combat, the axillary rifle cannot shoot automatically, the continuity of the ammunition supply is extremely poor, and it is very troublesome to reload after the rifle is exhausted, while the weapons of the Xianjun army have strong continuous firepower and are equipped with body armor, as long as the hit can be picked up, the rest is left to the bullet to solve.

The physiological function of the axillary eye is essentially the same as that of humans, and after being shot, it will also lose the function of the bullet site due to the tumbling and expansion of the bullet, and feel the weakness caused by severe pain and blood loss. Even if they reject the projectile and stop the bleeding, they will lose the ability to continue fighting for a short time.

The automatic weapons of the Xianjun army fired less than two or three rounds each time, and more than half a shuttle, although not enough to be fatal, but enough to make them lie on the ground and dying.

On the other hand, axillary rifles, or smoothbore guns, black powder charges, and undeniably 15.5 millicaliber ammunition fired at close range, which was enough to penetrate the body armor of the Xian army, but the efficiency and accuracy were much worse.

The fierce fighting continued into the night, the battle intensified, Bailiyan from the reserve of 6,000 people in Tiaoliang County into the battle, that night still failed to stop the impact of the hostile forward positions, on the contrary, the night melee brought a lot of trouble to the coalition forces.

Even with the illumination provided by flares, the armpit eyes of the armpits are open in hand-to-hand combat, and they only use the infrared field of view on their foreheads when visibility is extremely low, as before the night attack, when the lighting conditions are sufficient, they are no different from the daytime.

The heavy artillery and cannon artillery of the Xian army, which by this time had lost its supporting significance, was forced to begin to retreat.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Jie's defense line was torn open a gap of 300 paces wide, and was attacked by the armpit infantry for two miles, and the entire front was almost divided into two by the east and west.

The battle lasted until dawn, and the fighting eased slightly, but the offensive did not stop, and the morale of the coalition forces was greatly demoralized by the night of firefighting and hand-to-hand fighting, even in the southern border of that year, there was no such brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat.

After a day and night of bloody fighting, the casualties of the coalition army exceeded 9,000, and Bailiyan had no choice but to send 7,000 people from the general reserve of Yongping City to help the Liangxian battlefield to replace the crippled formation.

After the fierce fighting last night, he found that the armpit artillery density had been greatly weakened after the two sides were mixed together, and the infantry fighting had spread from the trench to the ground battle beyond the trench. In this case, the Xianjun 651 series semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns suffered a loss in white-knuckle combat.

The length of the armpit rifle is generally more than two meters two, and the bayonet is more than two meters six or seven, and even if the Xianjun rifle is a good bayonet, it is more than one meter shorter, and the horizontal knife issued is really difficult to play a great role as an auxiliary weapon.

Although automatic weapons have sustainable firepower to make up for the shortcomings of bayonets, after a night of attrition and operation, the existing magazines and bridges are exhausted, and the supply of battlefield ammunition is seriously not consumed.

The length of the horse lance is about one zhang, the standard spear is more than eight feet, and the hook and sickle is shorter, but the hook and sickle is used for squatting, and it is specially used to hook and chop the enemy's ankles and horses' feet, which is more suitable for white-knuckle combat. The development of combat from the trench to the surface is where the advantage of long weapons lies.

The battle in the morning tended to be white-hot, the two sides fought hard to solve, every time the armpit eye captured a position, it was recaptured by the coalition forces in the blink of an eye, and every time it changed hands, both sides had to pay heavy casualties, and the two sides were constantly consumed in the tug-of-war.

At the same time, the heavy artillery deployed in the enemy's rear quietly advanced eight miles overnight, reaching the north of Liangxian County with the ultimate firing range, and on the afternoon of the same day, the first batch of 15 heavy howitzers that had just been deployed in place fired the first salvo at noon, and the projectiles fell in the north of the city and caused a large-scale explosion.

Bai Liyan judged that their target was the city wall of the north gate of the county seat, and the first round of shelling was to calibrate and trim the trajectory. He immediately withdrew from the north gate of the city, moved the headquarters to the east gate watchtower, and the snipers withdrew from their positions and moved to the hill ring positions on the east and west flanks outside the county to continue to shoot cold shots.

In the afternoon's battle, the armpit focused on attacking Jiang Jie's left flank, while the right flank of Mo Yunfeng's defense line was a forest, and when the front could not be broken through, attacking the right flank was not conducive to their deployment and roundabout encirclement, so only by tearing Jiang Jie's left flank could they pose a threat to the two cities of Liangxian and Yongping.

Bailiyan judged the intention, and immediately transferred the Liang army reserve to lie behind Jiang Jie to ambush, and transferred 3,000 Xian troops to the west gate of Liang County, and when the deployment was completed, Jiang Jie's left flank was ordered to let the enemy in.

As expected, not long after the opening of the Western Front, the focus of the armpit turned to the Western Front to attack, and Jiang Jie's pressure increased sharply.

Bai Liyan also transferred the reserve force behind Mo Yunfeng to reinforce Mo Yunfeng's position, and at dusk, while the armpits poured into the gap on the western front, with the cooperation of the artillery fire on the eastern front, they carried out a counteroffensive on the enemy's eastern front.

At the same time, the gap on the Western Front was tightened, and the enemy who rushed into the pocket was sealed. The Xian army then used heavy artillery, rocket artillery, and mountain artillery to strike at the enemy in the center, and the Ximen Xian army went out of the city at the same time, and the machine guns were waved from north to south, ruthlessly venting bullets and anger.

The fierce battle lasted until late at night, and the enemy who had rushed into the pocket was basically extinguished, but Mo Yunfeng's counterattack on the eastern front failed to work.

This made Bailiyan realize that under the conditions of similar technology and equipment, human beings can barely hold it, and it is okay to occasionally fight an ambush, but to implement a frontal advance, it is difficult to push the front line without an absolute advantage in troops.

In the second half of the night, the armpit offensive was somewhat restrained, but in its place was an artillery strike, and they once again relied on the advantage of the longer range of the artillery to rain down shells with impunity.

But Bai Liyan knew that they had been fighting for more than three months before, and their ammunition supply would never be able to fight indefinitely. As long as it is delayed, sooner or later they will run out of ammunition, and without heavy artillery ammunition, they are nothing, and sooner or later they will be driven out of the sea to feed the fish.

As the battle entered the early morning of the third day, the air was filled with bitter smoke mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.

Bai Liyan kept his eyes red, closely watching the changes in the battle situation, these two days were almost the most difficult two days of his life, as if twenty years were as long.

He has fought more than 30 horses in his life, and he has never had such a huge number of casualties in two days, and every additional life is testing his psychological will. And he is the bottom line of the generals of the whole army, if he can't hold on, the whole army will collapse, and no matter how big the sacrifice is at this time, he must bear it hard.
