Chapter 243: Decapitation Operation
The main force of the Huaxia army suddenly appeared on a train, and despite fatigue, launched a fierce attack on the Mi army to the south in the dark.
The Mi army was attacked by unprecedented firepower, and was beaten to the ground for a while.
In the dark, it was inconvenient for the airship to bomb the Mi army, but Hu Zhen took advantage of the darkness to send ten unmanned aerial vehicles to observe the movement of the Mi army with high-definition cameras and instruct the artillery to bombard.
The Mi army on the south side of Philadelphia was pressed to the sea by the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army fleet waiting there, according to Hu Zhen's indication target data, raised the muzzle of the cannon and accurately bombarded the Mi army.
Under the powerful attack of the Huaxia Army on both land and sea, the 100,000-meter army on the south side immediately formed a chaotic formation and fled in all directions.
This situation lasted until dawn, when the airships of the Huaxia Army arrived to help in the battle, and the Mi Army on the south side of Philadelphia finally collapsed completely, but after a few hours, it disappeared as if it could not pose any threat to the Huaxia Army.
In just two days, the 200,000 troops on the flanks of the Mi army were all paralyzed and disabled, and the main force of the 300,000 Mi Army was led by the successor commander John Brown. Gordon commanded, still tugging back and forth with the seven thousand Huaxia troops in front of him.
The frontal rice army relied on its large number of people and fought impressively.
This was the most difficult battle for Lin Zhichuang since the Battle of Batavia, he commanded the troops to block left and right, desperately dragging the footsteps of the Mi army, and gradually retreated into the Philadelphia city area.
Under the artillery fire of the Mi army, the city of Philadelphia was reduced to ruins.
Ouyang Yu's telegram came at this time: "Evacuate all positions in Philadelphia and let the Mi army come in!" ”
Lin Zhichuang suddenly jumped up: "The time has come to completely defeat the Mi Army!" All personnel immediately left the Philadelphia position as originally planned! ”
However, when the Chinese army, under the cover of the airship fleet, withdrew from the Philadelphia position, John . Gordon did not dare to let the Mi army launch a pursuit, but cautiously held on to the captured Philadelphia position.
The sudden abnormal behavior of the Mi army immediately attracted Hu Zhen's attention: "There may have been an internal change in the Mi army, immediately start the beheading plan, and send airships to bomb the command post of the Mi army!" ”
The headquarters of the Mi Army was relocated twice during the battle, but due to the fact that John. Gordon's caution has been fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the front line.
This distance of fifteen or sixteen kilometers. It is already outside the maximum range of artillery in this era, and it can be said that even the most lucky stray bullets cannot hit this place.
However, the air airship of the Huaxia Army can fly anywhere above the head of the Mi Army.
The United States has the most powerful industrial strength in the world, and when it is facing the airship bombing of the Huaxia Army. Some airships were quickly designed and manufactured, but all of them were shot down by the Huaxia Army, which had been prepared for a long time.
The sky of the rice country has always been controlled by the Huaxia army.
In the early morning of this day, the battle between the two sides had completely stopped, but dozens of airships of the Huaxia Army appeared in the sky, looking from a distance. The huge airship has a large body, and the black pressure covers the sky.
"Pay attention to concealment, prevent the yellow-skinned monkey from pooping down in the sky!"
After the initial fear of airships, the soldiers of the Mi Army have seen a lot now, but they are not surprised, and even know how to avoid the bombing of airships.
However, this time, the Huaxia Army neither bombed the logistics railway of the Mi Army, nor bombed the dense formation of the Mi Army, and was even more lazy to search for the crowd of Mi Army who were hiding. Instead, he pounced directly on the command post of the Mi army.
The command post of the Mi army is a very secret place, and if it is reconnoitred according to the traditional method, it will definitely not be able to discover it in a short period of time.
But this is not difficult for the Huaxia Army, in addition to ordinary airships, Hu Zhen personally operated more than a dozen miniature unmanned aerial vehicles, out of reconnaissance, and finally discovered the place where the Mi Army rode a fast horse in and out of the heralds, and at night, when it was difficult for the naked eye to detect, he approached the treetop height for accurate reconnaissance.
There was an unmanned aerial vehicle that even landed down. grabbed a wired telegraph wire and connected it, accepted the telegram sent by the Mi army, and sent it back to the supercomputer to decipher.
After a series of actions under the personal command of Hu Zhen, the location of the command post of the Mi Army was finally clarified.
Now the airship in the air is here to eliminate the commander of the Mi army.
In fact. At this time, the head of the Mi army, Sherman, had suffered a stroke and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and there were already signs of instability within the Mi army. Gordon was holding on to the shattered situation.
Hearing that the Chinese army airship was attacking on a large scale, John . Gordon did not expect that the location of the command had been exposed, and no evacuation orders were given.
Sixty airships flew into the air of the command post, one after the other dropping a string of bombs.
The booming explosion rang out for half an hour. All objects exposed above the ground around the command post of the Mi Army were blown over and blown away.
After the bombing began, the Mi army here rushed to find a shelter to hide from the bombs.
John. It dawned on Gordon, but it was too late.
He hurried down to the cellar of the house, and he did not forget to order Sherman to be carried down the cellar.
But the cellar was only a basement for hiding things, not a special bomb shelter for later generations, and the cellar collapsed in the ferocious bomb explosion.
John. Gordon was bloodied by a large rock falling from his head on the spot, and the unconscious Sherman, under the care of the nurses, was very lucky not to be stoned to death.
Most of the officers of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Army had no way to hide in the small cellars, and were blown up by the bombs of the airships, and after the statistics, more than seventy percent of the officers of the General Headquarters in Philadelphia were killed, and most of the remaining thirty percent were seriously injured.
Under the bombardment of the powerful airship group of the Huaxia Army, the general headquarters of the Philadelphia Army was completely annihilated.
The 300,000-meter army, which lost its command, was finally out of order:
There are some troops honoring John. Gordon's order, hold the ground and not fight; Some troops, seeing that there was something to pick up, rushed out of their positions and fought with the Huaxia army; There were also some troops, hearing that the general headquarters had been bombed by the Huaxia Army, and hurriedly retracted their battle lines and retreated.
After a short break, the main force of the Huaxia Army seized the excellent opportunity created by the airship bombing and attacked the flank and rear of the Mi Army in a roundabout way.
The Huaxia Army's deep and detouring flank and rear of the Mi Army was completely different from the two flanks of the Mi Army, and it was under the cover of the airship group, concentrating almost all of its forces to attack rapidly on the southern side.
The airship dropped countless pieces of improvised paper in the air, which read, "The headquarters of the Mi Army was bombed, and the commander of the Mi Army in Philadelphia, Sherman, the chief of staff, John . Gordon has been blown up! ”
Most of the Mi army did not know the truth of this news, but the heralds sent to the headquarters to ask for instructions all found the headquarters and saw only a pile of ruins. Gordon was gone, which made most of the commanders of the Mi army kick in their hearts, and suddenly lost the firm will to continue fighting. (To be continued.) )
