Chapter 721: The Last Two "Miners"
More than 50 bulldozers quickly filled in several broken trenches, and more than 1,000 troop transport vehicles rushed through and followed the armored troops. Apex These troop carriers were recruited from construction sites on the Lushun Peninsula, including buses, trucks, dump trucks, and so on.
The Manchus controlled a vast and sparsely populated area, and their greatest advantage was their vast strategic depth, while the Tiance Army had limited troops.
Therefore, in this war to recover Liaodong and destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Yue emphasized the mobility of the army, so the attacking force will be a fully mechanized army, and for this starting point city has collected nearly 10,000 motor vehicles, most of which are prepared to ensure the supply of materials and oil for the army.
At present, there are more than 50,000 motor vehicles in the starting point city, including engineering, agriculture, public transportation, freight and other motor vehicles, most of which have been moved by Wang Yue ants in the past few years.
Of course, there are more than 6,000 agricultural three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles produced in the starting city, and the engine of the vehicle produced in the starting point city is a single-cylinder diesel engine, and these agricultural vehicles have been active in the farms and villages to which the starting point city belongs, and they are found in Jiangnan and Taiwan.
With the armored forces as the vanguard and the motor vehicle army as the main force, the Tiance army quickly advanced forward like a bamboo, breaking through several defense lines of the Qing army in a row, and penetrating directly into the heart of the enemy.
In the face of the sharp attack of the Tiance army, after suffering an overwhelming artillery attack, the entire Gaizhou campaign has been full of holes, the Tiance army is violent, and all the Qing troops are panicked.
"Daddy, let's go, this battle can't be fought." A grizzled young man said with a panicked expression as he supported a middle-aged man who was also grizzled and dirty.
This middle-aged man is none other than Geng Zhongming, one of the former three miners, the current King of Huaishun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After a protracted and tragic shelling, Geng Zhongming, who had just been dug out of the mound, no longer looked like a prince.
"Jimao, the Qing Dynasty is dead, the Ming Court will definitely not allow our Geng family, you must save your life no matter what, and find an opportunity to get out." Geng Zhongming had already seen that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not last long, but after all, he was the king of Huaishun, and the goal was too big, and it was impossible to escape.
Geng Jimao hurriedly said: "Daddy, don't say it again, go quickly, otherwise it's too late." ”
The surviving dozen or so soldiers helped Geng Jingzhong onto his horse, and they abandoned their subordinates and fled all the way to the rear.
Suddenly, several trucks rushed out from the flanks and rear, and after the original Tiance army attacked the hinterland of the Qing army's position, it immediately expanded to the two flanks to divide and encircle the enemy to attack and advance.
"Da-da-da, da-da-da!" A relentless rain of bullets fanned in, and the soldiers of the Celestial Army in the wagons targeted any enemy who resisted or fled.
Geng Zhongming was shot several times and fell off his horse, and before he took his breath, he saw that after his son was shot in the head, his head burst and his brains splashed, and the unconscious corpse fell into the dust like a cloth bag.
Geng Zhongming's mouth was still muttering blood foam, and the heavy truck mercilessly ran over the enemy who had just been eliminated, and roared away.
Another miner-turned-Kong, Kong Youde, was much more shrewd, putting on the ordinary soldier's uniform that he had prepared a long time ago, hiding in the crowd of those who raised his hands to surrender, and was ready to slip away in the chaos.
"Don't move, come up one by one, hold your head and squat." A group of soldiers of the Tiance Army suddenly appeared above the trench and shouted, "That big black man, if you move again, we will shoot." ”
Kong Youde, who was tall and strong, was particularly conspicuous, and seeing that he couldn't hide, he immediately nodded and crawled out of the trench, and obediently squatted among the prisoners with both hands.
Almost no decent resistance was encountered, and the armored troops of the Tiance Army had already traveled most of the journey in less than twenty minutes, and the Daqing River was in sight, and after crossing the Daqing River, they would arrive at the foot of Gaizhou City.
This was the result of two hours of artillery preparation, and the Qing positions along the route were in shambles, littered with shattered corpses.
The Zhouqiao Battalion of the three divisions has temporarily formed a Zhouqiao Regiment, and they will set up several pontoon bridges for the subsequent passage of motor vehicles, which do not have the function of crossing the river.
When they were still nearly two or three miles away from the Daqing River, the armored forces finally met some decent resistance.
This place was close to the rear of the entire defense line of the Qing army, and there was originally a minefield, another killer death squad of Dolgon.
The first battle of Gaizhou, the Qing army's death squads were reduced by seven or eighty percent, but the effect was gratifying, 3,000 terrorists made the armored vehicles of the Tiance army scramble, and achieved good results, and the Qing army finally made a zero breakthrough in the previous wars against those steel monsters, and also captured five abandoned chariots.
Due to the lack of time and gunpowder in the minefield, Dolgon no longer had much hope, so he focused on the formation of death squads.
When the death squad was formed for the first time, because of the abundant time, the members of the death squad selected were all military children who had killed or injured their relatives in the war with the Tiance Army, and they had a strong revenge against the Tiance Army.
Once again, the death squads were formed, and time did not allow Dolgon to be selective, so they expanded to more than five thousand people.
The death squad was supposed to take the Tiance army by surprise at the right time, but who would have thought that the perverted shelling of the Tiance army would last for two hours, completely covering the entire advancing position, and even the death squad in the rear would not be spared.
With heavy casualties, the command system was almost disrupted, and the contact with Prince Rui could not be communicated for a while, the Tiance Army was already under their noses. Although the death squad was established in a hurry, after all, it was still selected, and the will to fight was indeed stronger than that of other Qing troops.
The remaining more than 2,000 daredevils, under the urging of former terrorists, launched a brazen attack on more than 130 armored vehicles that came in front of them.
The Tiance Army has been prepared for this group of terrorists in the Qing army, and the drones in the air have always been the forerunner and have been looking for their traces.
The movements of the death squad were quickly fed back to the front-line command, and the armored units in the front immediately received orders from the command.
The armored troops temporarily stopped advancing, eight Type 99 tanks lined up in the front, one hundred and twenty-eight armored vehicles quickly opened the rear doors, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army rushed out.
"Boom, boom!" The Type 99 tanks fired steel ball shells at the terrorists five or six hundred meters away.
After the initial training, the terrorists hid in canisters of fire oil, lay in craters, or hid behind the rubble, and even those who were not afraid of death used some obstacles to crawl forward with their hands and feet, trying to get close to the steel monsters.
