763 pull out
"Put." The Qi artillery officers began to quickly relaunch the artillery attack after readjusting the gun position.
"Whoosh. Call. "The shells whistled out, and the shells fell around the Qin army's hangar.
"Boom." A loud explosion was heard.
"Damn, I know. Our planes will definitely suffer from a fierce attack by the other side. One of the pilots shouted loudly.
When the combat planes of the Qin army failed to attack the opponent's artillery positions, they naturally suffered a fierce counterattack from the Qi artillery.
"It's not like this is the time, we should think, what are we going to do next? Otherwise, we'll be done today. One of the pilots said.
"Boom." The shells hit again. Although the accuracy of the shells is somewhat poor. It was mainly the Qi army that fired outside the range of artillery. As a result, the accuracy of the shell became completely unsightly.
"Damn, the Qi army is bombarding our hangar." A lieutenant of the Qin army said after seeing the situation.
"We should support them." The lieutenant said when he saw this.
"How can we support this situation?" The captain on the side asked.
The lieutenant "this ・・・・・・" himself did not know that the artillery positions were relatively far from them. And there were many Qi troops who surrounded them. support, it is simply impossible to support the Qin army on the opposite side.
"Wait, that's all we can do." The captain said.
"Are we just watching?" The lieutenant asked.
"That's all there is to it now." The captain could only reply. The lieutenant asked, looking at the captain. And the captain didn't say anything.
And in Xianyang, Qin State. The senior officers of the Qin state were closely watching this skirmish. The Qin army of more than 300 people fought against the Qi army's troops of tens of thousands of people.
"Sir, the telegram you just got here." A major officer of the Intelligence Department took a telegram to Wang Qian.
"Whew." Wang Jian glanced at it and put the telegram aside.
"What's wrong?" Yang Duanhe asked.
"What should come is always the last thing to come." Wang Jian said.
"That's true." Yang Duanhe looked at the telegram and said.
"It seems that the Qi army is bound to eat our small force." Yang Duanhe said.
"If it were given to me, I would do everything I could to eat it." Wang Jian said.
"Divide and surround." Yang Duanhe said.
"Yes, if I were the Qi army, I would also use this tactic, our men would not be able to defend such a large area, and besides, air superiority has always been an advantage for us. If the Qi army wants to gain the initiative in the next battle, then it must defeat the air superiority. Then, we can be compressed into two narrow areas.
"Yes. Then, our two forces were finished. Yang Duanhe said.
"Not yet, if we can get reinforcements in time, I think we still have a chance." Wang Jian said. In fact, Wang Jian had long understood that the next move of the Qi army would definitely revolve around the two key defensive areas of the Qin army. Especially after the arrival of the main force of the Qi army, the Qi army had sufficient strength to carry out the tactical maneuvers they wanted to carry out.
Moreover, in terms of technical support, the Qi army has a stronger artillery advantage than the Qin army in terms of firepower. Therefore, the Qi army will soon launch a counteroffensive to launch their counteroffensive.
"How's our reinforcements going?" Wang Jian asked.
"The Yan army is constantly gathering and is transporting them to the front line by rail transport. It is estimated that in two days, they will reach Xinzheng and then head north to Handan. Then walk from Handan, or take a horse-drawn carriage to reach the border of Yan. Yang Duanhe said.
"The Zhao army is assembling and their troops are in some trouble. Some units were not issued weapons. We are working on coordination. It is impossible for the Yan State to send any military force. The people of Yan have emptied the entire Yan capital. Now, there is only an empty city left in Yandu. It seems that Yan Guo is not going to ask for it. Yang Duanhe said.
"Now it's up to us." Wang Jian said.
"Yes. That's all there is to it. Yang Duanhe replied.
The current Qin army is in a very disadvantageous situation. Because the Qi army occupies this absolute numerical superiority, this advantage presses the Qin army and cannot take a breath at all.
"After the artillery attack, we are going to be in the south, posing a huge threat to the Qin army, so that they have no time to take care of our attack on the aircraft side. Then we focused our efforts on opening up the channel. Divide and encircle the Qin army. The general of the Qi army said at the command meeting. And all the generals looked at this general.
"General, I'm against it." A middle-ranking officer of the Qi army heard the attack plan of the Qi army general and put forward his own reasons for opposition.
"Say what. Actually opposed. The officers below began to raise their own different opinions.
"Why object?" The general of the Qi army asked.
"Tell me your reasoning." The general of the Qi army looked at the officer and said.
"I took a detailed look at the layout of the Qin army's airfield, although there were big problems with the layout of the Qin army, they concentrated their limited forces in two areas. Let's call them point A and point B for the time being. As he spoke, the Qi officer pointed to the map and said.
The Qi army officer pointed to the location point A as the hangar of the Qin army. Point B is the defensive area of the Qin army's warehouse.
"The bridge that connects these two points directly to each other is this thing called the airstrip, and the two areas are very open and the distance between the two points is very close. According to my observations. The distance between these two points is likely to be the area covered by the firepower of the Qin army's cross-defense between the two points, if we rashly launch an attack. Then we will have a large number of troops that will be exposed to the range of the Qin army's machine gun fire, for us. There will be more deaths. The mid-level officer said.
"You mean." The general asked.
'We need to pause such senseless attacks. We need to find a way to deal with this machine-gun fire, and we need to reduce the cost of casualties for our soldiers. "The middle-level officers have seen the huge casualties caused by the rash attack on the Qin army's position, and the machine guns are like a summer rainstorm, carrying hail and knocking all the crops to the ground. He didn't know who had invented this terrible weapon, but it did take a heavy toll in casualties. Artillery lies in his randomness. The casualties caused are also limited. But the machine guns were able to knock the charging soldiers to the ground in pieces. This weapon is simply terrifying. So, in order to reduce casualties, it is precisely this huge cost of casualties. That's why he made such a point.
"So what's your solution?" The general asked, looking at the officer.
"This, this." The middle-level officers had a very bold method, that is, to use the excavation operation to get closer to the defensive positions of the Qin army little by little. This kind of excavation is very suitable for this kind of operation. Because the trench will be able to protect the safety of the Qi soldiers very well, and at the same time, it can also reduce the attack distance. Not only that, but fighting in the trenches can also effectively take advantage of the close combat of the Qi army.
"Say." The general said very calmly. He looked at the officer with stern eyes.
"Ahem." The officer thought of the huge cost of casualties among the soldiers. In order for more people to survive, he decided to take a gamble.
"We should use the method of excavation to get closer to the Qin army little by little, and then we can give full play to our advantage in close combat, so that we can not only reduce the casualties of our soldiers, but also achieve our combat objectives." The officer said boldly.
"That's enough." The general said.
"A little bit of digging is close to the Qin army. Then we will spend countless hours and this army of tens of thousands on three hundred. The general suddenly asked. The generals of the Qi army have been ordered. Several other Qi army teams were rapidly marching towards Yandu. Their goal is to take the Yan capital, and then take the entire Yan country. The significance of Yandu's political victory at this time was far greater than the political significance of the besieged Qin army.
"Now more Qi troops are heading towards Yandu, and what are we doing?" The general asked.
If the generals of the Qi army want to make a difference in the military field, especially if they want to be promoted, they must do something of great significance, such as occupying Yandu. Capturing a country's capital means annexing a larger territory for that country. At this point, it's far easier than killing more enemies.
"For the sake of only 300 people, we have tens of thousands of people who have stagnated. Now I would like to suggest that I dig a little bit of the earth, and then slowly approach the Qin army. I see if you're cowardly. Cowardly, isn't it those damn machine guns that scared you into fighting. The general scolded fiercely. The purpose of the generals is to solve this matter in an extreme time, and then wave their troops north to quickly occupy Yandu.
"General." The mid-level officer argued.
"I think you are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with such a solution. The general vetoed the officer's opinion. Moreover, a method of personal attacks was used against the officer to satirize the officer.
"General, I'm not cowardly, I'm not cowardly, I've never been afraid of war, I'm just, I just don't want to see more people die." The officer said.
"Enough. There are undead people in the war, and the death we people have seen is not enough? Whoever deserves to die must die. No one can hide from it. The general said. And everyone nodded in approval. In their opinion, the general was not wrong. They can be said to have climbed up from the pile of dead people, and it is not easy to survive. Who hasn't killed anyone, who hasn't seen a dead person.
"But we can't just watch our men die here." The officer continued.
"Enough. You, get out. The general said loudly.
"General." The officer said anxiously.
"Come on, pull me out. Hurry up. The general said impatiently.
