Chapter 373: Remote Support

At the moment when the wall collapsed, Enyuan burst out with a bravery that he had never seen in his life, and took out his pistol and led two squads of soldiers to block the gap. Enyuan was in the center, and the soldiers of the two squads lined up around him, and they once again picked up the line tactics that had been abandoned for a long time.

"Aim, put!" Enyuan controlled the rhythm of the shooting, and with his order, the first row of soldiers quickly fired bullets, and then crouched down to start loading.

"Aim, put!" The second platoon followed, and with Enyuan's command, shot the bullets in their own guns, and then crouched down as well and began to reload.

"Aim, put! ……”

The two rows of soldiers alternately rose and fell like seesaws under Enyuan's command, and a dozen bullets at a time were not dense, but they firmly sealed the gap and dragged the enemy's pace from charging. The machine guns on the roof also rained bullets on the enemy, and although the gap was opened, the brave soldiers under Song Jingshi could not rush into the ancestral hall. Fortunately, they have a strong army, paving the way to charge with their lives, approaching the gap little by little, as long as they rush in, they will win.

Enyuan and the twenty-four soldiers made way of the gap, Song Jingshi thought that they were finally afraid, and they chose to escape, but he guessed wrong. Instead of making way of the gap, Eun made way for the artillery behind him to open the fire boundary. Two 75 mm mountain guns shortened their fuses and ruthlessly fired their shells flat at the charging soldiers. The cannonballs whizzed out, shattering everything that stood in its path, and finally exploded in the air in the middle of the crowd, the shock wave and anti-personnel fragments carried away and swept away the arrows of the charge. The breech gun had an ultra-high rate of fire, only a little slower than the rifle, and after several successive bombardments, Song Jingshi's offensive was reduced to dust.

Before Song Jingshi had time to gather his soldiers and horses, the artillerymen took advantage of the good vision at the gap and began to raise the muzzle of the gun and locked the position of He Huan's artillery. He Huan, who reacted very quickly, grabbed the first move, but the iron ball shot by his cannon was not accurate, and only hit the wall of the ancestral hall again. As soon as the blow missed, He Huan pulled his artillery and threw down the artillery and ran, they didn't run far, and just now where they were, they were hit by two high-explosive shells in a row. He Huan's treasured cannon was thrown high into the air, and then smashed into a useless scrap iron pipe on the ground. Although He Huan ran fast enough, he was also pushed to the ground by the shockwave and gnawed on a mouthful of dirt.

"Brother He!" Song Jingshi had just gathered the people, and found that He Huan had been lying on the ground and had not moved, so she hurriedly ran over to help He Huan.

"Brother Song, I'm ......" He Huan's nose was bleeding, very embarrassed, and he wanted to say a few polite words to Song Jingshi, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, he heard a sharp "woo" sound.

"What a sound!" Wang Dezhi and Enyuan, who were lying on the wall to observe the enemy's situation, also heard this strange sound, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"A hundred millimeter mountain artillery?" Enyuan felt that this voice was a little familiar to him, but as soon as Wang Dezhi looked at him with a puzzled expression, they were pushed down by the shock wave along with the soldiers on the wall.

"Everybody's down!" Enyuan is now a qualified commander, the hot feeling on his face, the trembling earth under him, and the incessant roar in his ears all show what is happening here. His own artillery will definitely not aim at his own people, but it is not safe to run around at this time, the power of heavy artillery bombardment is very terrifying even if it is dozens of meters away, and the walls of this ancestral hall may not be able to withstand it, so Enyuan chose the safest position for his soldiers in time.

"Uh......h The shrill and piercing sound of the ...... grew denser, but the loud explosion masked everything again. The walls of the ancestral hall were shaking, the roof tiles had been all thrown off, and the roof soldiers fled in a hurry.

"Boom...... Rumble...... "The air was full of the smell of earth, and my vision became blurred, as if it had fallen in a yellow fog, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Boom ......"

"One hundred and ten mm field artillery!" Enyuan lay on the ground and showed Wang Dezhi what he knew about artillery.

"Woo...... Boom ......"

"What kind of cannon is this?" Suddenly, there was an extra shell breaking through the air and the sound of the explosion was particularly loud, and Wang Dezhi felt that his ears were almost deaf.

"One hundred and fifty mm plus howitzers?" Enyuan was a little vague, they didn't have this kind of large-caliber heavy artillery in their regiment, and this kind of big guy had to be only in the artillery regiment directly under them.

"Woooooooooo......oo Rumbling...... "An even louder sound drowned out all the other sounds, as if the sky was about to collapse, and in the loud roar of the explosion, the walls of the ancestral hall collapsed in an instant like a child's building blocks.

"Two hundred and twenty mm howitzers!" Enyuan was shocked, this thing had actually been tested once in the arsenal, but he would not be wrong about this huge power anyway. There are only three of these huge treasures in the whole army of the Gu'an Army, one of the guards of the arsenal, and the other two are the killer weapons of the artillery regiment at the bottom of the box. However, no one heard his screams in shock, and almost everyone was deafened by the three-minute shelling. There is only buzzing in everyone's ears now, and no one can hear what Enyuan says.

Hundreds of meters away, there is a wall to protect Enyuan and others, and Song Jingshi and He Huan, who are the targets, are naturally even more miserable. He Huan, who came with more than 200 people to help, has already become the commander of the light pole, and Song Jingshi, who just had 3,000 soldiers and horses, has less than 500 people. And everyone has been shaken up, and there are not a few who have been frightened crazy. That is, He Huan, who was greeted by the Gu'an Army's Hall rockets and high-explosive bombs, and Song Jingshi, who was strong in martial arts, barely kept his senses.

"Brother Song, let's go! The main force of the Gu'an Army is here! He Huan staggered to his feet, pulled Song Jingshi and left.

The cannonballs did not frighten Song Jingshi crazy, but the messy scene made Song Jingshi unable to calm down anymore, those bloody stumps were the brothers he brought out.

"Ah...... I'm not leaving, I'm fighting with them! Song Jingshi struggled frantically.

"Let's go!" He Huan's shouts attracted a few good hands from Song Jingshi's subordinates, and they all recovered quickly, knowing that what He Huan said made sense, everyone came over to help pull Song Jingshi away. Although more than 500 of Song Jingshi's subordinates were still alive, he only took more than 300 people away, and the other 200 or so were all stupid, so they could only throw them to the Gu'an army.

Acton is a well-known general of the Gu'an Army, who has commanded operations on the front line for a long time, has rich battlefield experience, and has been praised by Guoxinga many times, he is certainly not an idiot. So the excellent commander Acton, how could he forget Enyuan's reconnaissance force, which was full of recruits! No matter how long Enyuan was bullied by Song Jingshi, he sent artillery to help. The reason is simple, because Acton is busy, and the elusive Goxinga suddenly arrives.

After a full change of clothes, Guoxing A stayed in Tongzhou with Tan Shaoguang and Ji Ying, and personally led the other departments, and went south in the starry night to attack Yongqing, where Shengbao was located. Actun, who hadn't seen Guoxinga for more than half a year, immediately greeted Guoxinga and the others happily, and the officers who had just won a big victory in Tongzhou also boasted triumphantly to their old friends. But there is one person who is not very happy, and that is the Mongolian fox Bozhtu, because he has been promoted.

For various reasons, Guo Xing'a was suddenly promoted to the official of Cao Meng, Li Zhi, and Kan Changcheng. Cao Meng became the commander of the 1st Light Cavalry Regiment, Li Zhi became the commander of the 2nd Light Cavalry Regiment, and Kan Changcheng, a good man from Shandong, was the commander of the 3rd Light Cavalry Regiment. Cao Meng's 1st Light Cavalry Regiment was the original Bo Ritu Light Cavalry Regiment, and the 2nd and 3rd Light Cavalry Regiments of Li Zhi and Kan Great Wall were the Guanwai Banner Soldiers that Guoxing'a had just collected in Rehe. Because the light cavalry regiment belonged to Cao Meng, Guo Xing'a also promoted Bo Ritu and made him the brigade commander of the light cavalry brigade, the first brigade commander of the Gu'an Army, and his status was higher than Tan Shaoguang and others, but Bo Ritu was not happy at all.

The light cavalry regiment brought out by Bo Ritu is now one of the trump cards of the Gu'an Army, although it suffered a lot of damage in the battle outside Andingmen, but it also recovered quickly. Moreover, the Battle of Andingmen can be said to be the most brilliant and bloody battle of the Gu'an Army, which made the light cavalry regiment an honorary unit, and the exploits of Montauban in the battle are incomparable to other troops. If he, the brigade commander, could still bring his old troops, of course he would have no opinion, but Guoxinga had an opinion, so the two regiments under his cavalry brigade were the second regiment and the third regiment, and the first regiment was directly under Guoxing'a.

The light cavalry brigade only has jurisdiction over the second and third regiments, which is really a bit of a bully. These two regiments not only used cold weapons as their main equipment, but also did not even receive formal military training, and the officers were all old men, and they had no formal military knowledge at all. Guo Xing'a did enough, except for the three orthodox officers of Bo Ritu, Li Zhi, and Kan Changcheng, only political work cadres and a company of training troops were dispatched, and no grassroots officers were arranged. What Bozhtu inherited was an old-style army, and he had to take care of all the personnel training and reorganization of the troops himself, and it was impossible for him to make any improvement without three or five months. What is even more lacking in virtue is that Goxinga did not give Bozhtu the opportunity to train on the spot at all, and took the light cavalry brigade with him wherever he went, as if they were the main ace of the ace. He had to march every day, and Bozhtu's training plan couldn't be carried out at all, and he was about to die of urgency.

Guo Xing's arrangement of Bo Ritu, at best, is said to be rising brightly and descending, and at worst, it is refrigerated. Bo Ritu suddenly became the original Ji Ying, and he was not even the chief officer of the second-line troops, and his only task was to bring new recruits. Bo Ritu didn't know why Guo Xing'a suddenly promoted Cao Meng, Li Zhi and others, but he knew why Guo Xing'a refrigerated him. When Seng Lingqin tried to take over the Gu'an Army, Bo Ritu was too active, and although Guo Xing'a did not kill him, he still had to teach him a lesson. Bo Ritu didn't dare to complain, so he could only worry alone.

After finishing the reception of Guo Xing'a, Acton found that the Enyuan company that went out to investigate had not returned, and there was no need to look for it, and even Guo Xing'a heard the faint sound of gunshots. Acton had wanted to send a battalion over to bring Eun Yuan back, but Goxinga wanted to try his new tactics. The artillery regiment reconnaissance cavalry dispatched, locked the location of Song Jingshi's headquarters, and then conveyed it back to the headquarters with a flag, and the artillery regiment gave Enyuan a long-range fire support. However, the result was not very good, after the distance was more than five miles, the impact point error of the shelling was a bit large, that is, Enyuan's life was large, otherwise it was possible that even he would be annihilated by the artillery.

After listening to Kong Zhen's post-war summary, Guo Xing'a also had a cold sweat on his back, and he played too much this time. There is no record of the Gu'an army being annihilated by the formation, even in the original battle of Andingmen, the worst unit fought by the light cavalry regiment, there is no situation where the formation is canceled, how can there be one person left in a squad. This time, Goxinga almost set this precedent on a whim, and almost killed one of his own companies. It seems that the accuracy of artillery must be improved, and the means of communication must also be upgraded, and this kind of long-range fire support can no longer be carried out until there is no walkie-talkie.

After Acton reported on the situation in Yongqing, Guo Xing'a did not make too many preparations, the whole army ate, and after lunch, he sent troops to get Shengbao.
