Chapter 396: New Artillery
Although the real soldiers of the rogues are less than 20,000, this is an ambush, and the geographical advantage has been occupied by them, and the pit has been dug.
The Tiance army that arrived was actually only more than 1,700 people, and this still added the number of Wang Yue's guard platoon. They judged that there were about 2,000 people, because there were more vehicles and they seemed to be a little larger than they actually were.
Luo Rucai gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu If you don't kill all these Tiance troops, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
When the troops of the Tiance Army reached the mountain, they stopped advancing, apparently knowing that there was an ambush here. However, looking at the posture, the Tiance Army does not plan to take a detour, it should be making preparations before the war.
Luo Rucai turned his head to one person and said loudly: "Xiashan Tiger, command the brothers to beat me hard in a while, and avenge those dead brothers!" ”
"Big boss, just look at it, if I don't beat them out of the, they won't be raised by my father." Song Qing, the descending tiger, said with red eyes.
In the battle with the southbound detachment, Song Qing picked up a small life. Although he was almost frightened by the Tiance army, the death of so many brothers also aroused his monstrous hatred. Now the opportunity is too good, 50,000 or 60,000 ambushes 2,000 is a good opportunity for revenge.
There was still a drizzle in the sky, and the leaders of the Liukou kept beckoning their men to prepare for battle, and some of the hungry soldiers sitting on the ground were also kicked up. One by one, the swords were unsheathed, the arrows wound, and the spears clenched. Sticks and dung forks were also held in their hands, and there were many people who were piled up with stones in front of them, just waiting for the enemy to approach, and condescendingly smashed at the enemy.
It's really hard for these people, most of the rogues don't have protective rain gear, they are drenched like chickens in soup, and from time to time someone wipes a handful of rain on their faces.
On this rainy day, I was soaking wet, and a mountain wind blew, and many people had to shiver.
The 5th Regiment stopped in front of the hill and was also making pre-battle preparations. All armoured vehicles were lined up almost in a row to prevent the rogues from pouring out of the ambush and storming their positions. A group of infantry lined up behind the armored vehicles, guarding in the direction of the rogues.
Wang Yue got out of the car in a raincoat and looked at the opposite side with a telescope, and the confidential secretary Li Xuezhu immediately held up an umbrella for him.
Wang Yue turned around and nodded to her and smiled to thank her, and continued to observe the mountain.
Li Xuezhu is very sweet in her heart, and her husband can always show his politeness and demeanor in details.
Strictly speaking, this area can only be regarded as a small hill bag, and the terrain is not high, but these large and small mountain bags occupy a wide area and are blocked on the way forward.
Between these hills is a road to the north, so here it is called Chong, or Guijia Chong.
On these hills, the thicker the shrubs get to the top, like human hair. Most of the rogues are hidden in the bushes, and there are not many tall trees on the mountain.
If you look at it with the naked eye, you may not be able to see a person on it, but a high-powered telescope can easily see a figure in the bushes. You can even see human faces poking out from among the bushes, watching your own movements below.
Wu Zhi, the eunuch of the prison army, also came with him, and he was also given a raincoat.
He followed Wang Yue out of the car, and he didn't understand what Wang Yue kept looking at the opposite hill with his clairvoyance.
Wang Yue and his subordinate general Feng Yuanshan discussed the military situation, but he couldn't understand it, because Wang Yue didn't show him the reconnaissance video.
Wu Zhi also looked at the mountain, but saw nothing, it was now rainy, the air was humid, and the visibility was not high.
He asked curiously, "Lord Wang, could it be that there are ambushes here?" ”
Putting down the binoculars, Wang Yue said to him: "There are fifty or sixty thousand rogue robbers in ambush on this hill, just waiting for us to come forward." ”
Wu Zhi was taken aback, obedient! There are less than 2,000 people in him, and if he falls into the encirclement of 50,000 or 60,000 rogues, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die. Fortunately, Wang Yue found out in advance, otherwise my life would have been suspended.
Wang Yue looked back and saw that the soldiers were still busy, so he used binoculars to check the nearby terrain one after another.
"What are the officers and soldiers doing?" Seeing that the Tiance Army had set up a formation in front of the mountain, Li Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
Luo Rucai scolded and said, "Damn, these dogs are lining up here, do you want me to wait out and fight him?" ”
He was anxious for revenge, but the officer and soldier just didn't come forward.
"The officers and soldiers have discovered us." Hui Dengxiang didn't know what went wrong, he looked back and asked his subordinate leader Zheng Eryang, "Have you noticed that there are officials and soldiers approaching around?" ”
As soon as the Tiance army put on a posture in front of the mountain, they immediately sent people to observe the surroundings to prevent them from being dumplings.
Zheng Eryang arched his hand and said: "The big boss, we have all seen the front and back of the mountain, only the official army in front of the mountain." ”
Hui Deng thought for a while and said to Luo Rucai: "Luo Shuai, or we will rush out and beat one of them." ”
Luo Rucai was a little moved when he heard this, but then he looked down and shook his head and said: "No, the kind of car of the official army is not easy to get along with, we are still here to wait for work." ”
Although he also agrees with the theory that the firearms of the officers and military are damp, the car will not be damp.
Hui Dengxiang had never seen the strength of the Tiance Army, but he was amused by Luo Rucai's courage to fear the enemy like a tiger now. Since Luo Rucai said so, let's observe and observe, anyway, the officials and soldiers have no intention of leaving.
Wang Yue put down the binoculars and asked Feng Yuanshan, "Are you ready?" ”
Feng Yuanshan said: "The artillery position has been set up, waiting for the commander's order. ”
"Let's get started!" Wang Yue said.
The number of 60 mortars in each regiment was 48, and in order to deal with these rogue guns on the mountain, Wang Yue transferred 36 60 mortars from the navy, and those who came from the navy operated these guns, which brought the number of 60 mortars to 84.
A new member has been added to the mortar variety of the Tiance Army, that is, the 89-type 100-millimeter mortar, with 12 units per regiment.
The total combat weight of the 100-mm mortar is 71.7 kg (including sight), and the gun mount, seat plate, barrel, and sight can be detached for easy movement.
The maximum firing range of the gun is 6.4 km, the shell weighs 8 kilograms, the dense killing radius is 29.23 meters, and the effective killing radius is 412 meters. The maximum rate of fire was twenty rounds per minute, and for the sake of safety, the rate of fire of the Tiance Army was temporarily set at ten rounds per minute.
The use of 60 mortars by the Tiance Army has become more and more mature, so it can quickly get started with 100 mm mortars. The mortar is capable of firing incendiary and flares in addition to blasting shells.
With an order, the ninety-six mortars of the Tiance Army began a fierce artillery bombardment of the small hills in the Guijiachong area.
