On the third day of coming to the city of Liaodong,

Although some of the enemy troops had retreated to the inner city to continue their defense, the battle in the outer city was not over, and the sound of slamming and throwing bombs still resounded; But I can already follow the gate that opens from the inside out, step on the scorched earth and rubble that is still full of residual heat and smoke, and enter this first city and Dayi in eastern Liaodong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although these defenders from various sources showed lackluster performance in the attack and defense of the city, and even some fought separately and fought with their neighbors, they showed a certain impressive courage and fighting spirit when retreating and protecting the homes and property in the inner square area of the city.

Is this some version of the courage to fight privately and the fear of public war?

On the edge of the ruins of the city wall, which had collapsed inward, the soldiers of the brigade, under the direction of the engineers, were cleaning up and simply repairing it, so as to reluctantly close the gap in the wall and restore some defensive functions as much as possible.

"Yes, yes, this time the effect and failure have improved again."

I looked at Ling Zhendao, the commander of the combat engineering regiment directly under the Marquis Army.

"How did you do it, how much gunpowder did you use?"

"Back to the commander, we dug three holes, and finally connected horizontally under the wall."

He replied.

"Four blasting points were arranged, and a total of two 500-pound and two 1,000-pound composite medicine packs were used."

"In the end, the effect of a whole wall can be formed."

I couldn't help nodding yes; Obviously, because of the use of improved double-base composite explosives, the composite linkage stroke detonation of thunder mercury \ fine gunpowder \nitrification explosives was adopted; In addition, more scientific structural exploration and directional laying methods accumulated from many engineering blasting experiences are used to determine the appropriate blasting point;

Therefore, the amount of gunpowder used this time was obviously much more streamlined than in the Kaiyi City in Liaoxi, or among the many sub-forts that later attacked the periphery of Luodu.

Nowadays, with the support of Huaidi's primary chemical industry, it has realized the division of several categories such as gunpowder, gunpowder and explosives for blasting, and it is using mass production and purification of chemical gunpowder, gradually replacing the traditional black powder mixed with mineral powder.

After all, the upper limit and potential of the traditional nitrate charcoal-based refining black powder have been tapped to the limit, and there is no way to improve more. If you want to blow up such a city wall with black powder, I'm afraid that if you don't fill tens of thousands of catties to win a certain probability, you won't be able to produce any decent effect.

However, the nitro explosives after being passivated with diatomaceous earth are different, and Mr. Nobel, the forerunner of the explosives award, has exchanged the price of the whole family with deaths and injuries in exchange for relatively safe and stable engineering explosives and military equipment in modern industrial society.

Therefore, in the key units and numbers of the main battle army order, single-base yellow powder based on nitride has been initially used and promoted, and in some special sequences such as hunting teams, even dual-base propellants with better efficiency have been used experimentally.

Therefore, after the end of the battle of Liaodong, the large amount of black powder distributed in the traditional army will be gradually eliminated from the main battle sequence of the first line, and the remaining black powder production capacity will be turned into the basic ration of the second-line garrison battalion and the third-line garrison regiment, and even the armed reclamation regiment and patrol team.

Or through private channels, sell to those friendly neighbors for a good profit, and then continue to maintain the disparity in range of fire in front of these armies through technical and production advantages.

And this natural generation gap is not so easy to imitate and catch up casually; In addition to the highly confidential means and measures of the corresponding segmented combination, it is also necessary to have the corresponding supporting triacids and two alkalis, and the primary chemical industry and technology accumulation as the foundation and premise; Otherwise, even if you work hard to get the specific formula and process, you will be blinded, and there is no possibility of replication and reproduction.

"It's been a hard time for you."

Retracting my distant thoughts, I said to Ling Zhen with relief and encouragement.

"After this battle is over, I will give you an exclusive font name and flag color"

"And set as a benchmark for the troops, enjoy the allowance of special service and the treatment of technical non-commissioned officers."

I paused and said.

"The name, it's called the Shaking Mountain Camp. On the flag surface plus the thunder pattern to other things. ”

"Thank you for the name and flag."

He bowed in joy and thanked him.

"Everyone knows kindness, and dares not to die to serve it."

And then, in the midst of a thunderous roar, after a long drive over the wall, the most conspicuous of the trophies and seizures that were before me were undoubtedly those of great and towering power.

Single-tip cannons, double-pin cannons, five-pin cannons, seven-pin cannons, whirlwind cannons, and belly cannons, the other party has prepared so many siege equipment, which is not an easy thing to obtain. Although CCTV is a little old, it was also an out-and-out high-end technology weapon in this era at that time, and it was a big killer weapon that was strictly controlled and controlled by the state

You know, the last time I took someone to count and empty the treasury of Liaodong City, I hadn't seen these things yet; Now it is a large number of sequences of defenders, and the source and background identity of this seem to be about to be revealed.

In addition to the vicinity of the city wall, although the defenders who retreated to the inner city did not leave us much food and wealth, because the city was broken and retreated in a hurry, there were still many other materials and equipment that were not destroyed or burned in time, which became the harvest and spoils of the Huai army one after another.

With the process of the Huai army's clean-up and search of the Waiguo City, some representatives of the common people and the old folks who were similar to the city soldiers and villagers finally began to emerge; took the initiative to run out to find the generals who led the troops in the street, and then cried with tears to complain about the traitors' perverse actions since they occupied Liaodong City, and thanked the Huai Army for relieving the people again.

Although I don't know how many of them are real encounters, and how many of them are deliberately running out to act, or simply pretending to protect themselves; But for the sake of some kind of plan for the future, I still made a gesture of comfort and comfort, while restraining military discipline, so as to calm the hearts of these local residents a little, so that they could temporarily play the role of a leading party.

Then he sent someone to send a message to the rear, so that Luo Sijin, who was sitting in the town, hurried over and came forward to deal with and receive these personnel as the new patriarch of the Luo clan and the head of the family.

However, from this, I also found an obvious fact through the sample statistics of specific people, the members of the Luo family were obviously slaughtered and persecuted very badly; So much so that among these representatives of the city's residents, there were not many members surnamed Luo; Even if there are a few, the blood and relationship are so far away that it doesn't matter, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

On the other hand, between them and the various outsiders who had fled into the city of Liaodong, they were in a fierce contradiction of considerable tension and resistance; It is said that after these foreign forces and their followers entered the city, because of the squeeze of daily resources and living space, as the residents of the city, they were not less choked in the process.

And because the ruling faction headed by Luo Bingsheng needs the other party to cooperate to defend the city, under various methods of dealing with and suppressing the bias, it can be said that they have accumulated a lot of bitter and bitter grievances.

Therefore, in the next time to clear out the remnants of the resistance in the outer Guocheng, they showed a considerable degree of initiative and enthusiasm to compete for the first place; Although there is no lack of communiqué personal vendetta in it, or the move to take the opportunity to expand the scope of liquidation; But on the whole, it has also left a lot of effort and time for the follow-up clean-up of our army.

Because it was soon rewarded, the heavy troops led by Zhang Xian's car battalion had already passed through the cleared reception, and blocked the four gates of the inner city with the preset positions of the joint battalion; Therefore, my large army can completely free up their hands and speed up the occupation and clearing of Waiguo City.

Therefore, by the afternoon of the next day, most of the city, which once housed a population of two or three hundred thousand, including all the outer walls, had been planted with flags representing the Huai army.

Although there were defenders of the inner city that night, they tried to take advantage of the familiar geographical environment and hidden passages to launch a decisive raid and counterattack under the black light; It's a pity that in addition to the sudden sneak attack and killing more than a dozen outlying sentinels, they still inevitably stepped on the mine tripwire pre-laid in front of the door, and exposed their tracks in the rumbling explosion;

Then, in the midst of a resolute assault, they were stopped by half-height barbed wire and new trenches, and became the targets of alternating fire from scattered small guns with pre-loaded ammunition hidden between the vehicle formations. Then the white soldiers, led by Niu Gao, attacked from the flank, directly copied the rear of these attacking enemies.

So, by the time dawn came, all kinds of entangled corpses were stacked and intertwined, and even several improvised ring-shaped barbed wire fences were collapsed and paved. And in the camp besieging the inner city, there were also dozens of captives with blue noses and swollen faces that looked like pigs' heads.

At this time, outside the city, because only those vassal armies attached to the battle, as well as the rear army led by Zhao Bingyuan, the third soldier and horse envoy, were cleaning up and cleaning up the remaining camps outside the city;

At this time, as several of them came back from a distance, covered in dust and blood, and looked a little embarrassed, the horn of the alarm sounded again on the city wall.

Then, with the help of the oblique light before the sun set, I sighed as I looked at the large clouds of smoke and dust raised in the north sky.

"It's really an uninvited guest, but it's a pity that I came a little late." (To be continued.) )
