Chapter 81: The First Division Arrives (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
A day later, according to the negotiated battle plan, Wu Feitian led his troops to a small city in the northeast of Beiguan City. It is located on the border with New West Asia. Before Song Yu's arrival, the town was overcrowded, but now the people of the East China Sea have fled.
This small town is exactly opposite the North View City, and the two cities are very close to each other.
After capturing the city, the two cities can be defended by horns against each other.
In order to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the belly and back, the East China Sea people must carry out a division of troops to attack, which will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the East China Sea people.
In addition to these, Long Yi and the others personally went to teach Wu Feitian's regiment how to arrange the defense line.
There are no walls in the East China Sea.
The battle came suddenly, and Song Yu didn't have enough barbed wire or anything to defend it, but he could still dig out a long trench.
The entire periphery of the small city, under the command of Long Yi and others, was finally dug out of a trench defense line with a length of less than two thousand meters.
The newly purchased machine guns were also divided into five and given to Wu Feitian.
As long as the East China Sea people dare to attack, these machine guns will fire together to form crossfire, which will kill and injure the East China Sea people to the greatest extent.
Not to mention the fact that there were more than a thousand other people, all armed with Enfield rifles.
Especially after the soldiers who had been following Wu Feitian for a long time were replaced with new Enfield rifles, the original musket weapons were like burning sticks to them.
The advent of the big war made them eager to give full play to the power of the new rifle and beat the people of the East China Sea hard.
In addition to these, Song Yu also transported five mortars to Wu Feitian.
The last time I fought, many of the system's elite soldiers wasted their time firing artillery. After that, Song Yu asked Long Yi to teach some soldiers to use mortars specifically.
When the battle began, the mortars cooperated with the defense of the trenches, and even Wu Feitian couldn't help but start looking forward to how badly the people of the East China Sea would be bullied.
When Wu Feitian was preparing to fight, Song Yu was not idle.
The distance to the north view of the city is longer, and under the guidance of Niu Yi and them, after digging some places and digging trenches, the final length is more than five miles.
However, this side is likely to become the main battlefield, and there are more soldiers on the defensive.
In addition to the battalion before Zhong Yunlong, the two thousand Xi Yuanguo soldiers brought by Zhang Shan also entered the trenches, waiting for the arrival of the Donghai people.
Zhang Shan's side was even more nervous than Wu Feitian, the first division of the East China Sea was able to defeat the Tianlong people, if they could defeat the first division of the East China Sea this time, wouldn't it mean that they would be able to completely abuse the Tianlong people in the future?
At this time, Zhang Shan was completely stimulated by the excitement brought by the upcoming war, and his mind was full of thoughts about testing the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Completely ignoring the fact that the people of the East China Sea were allies of their Xi Yuan Kingdom.
Song Yu was also happy to see Zhang Shan like this, so he didn't bother to remind him.
A day later, the 1st Division of the East China Sea slowly came to the border of the East China Sea, and this division had nearly 20,000 men. All of them are equipped with muskets, and the morale is very good, and the overall appearance is very strong. The army of the East China Sea Kingdom that Song Yu encountered before was really incomparable to this army at all.
However, the 1st Division did not attack immediately, but stopped near the border, and by this time they already knew that the Neosia were defending the two cities of Beikancheng and the small city next to it.
"Commander, these Neo-West Asians are really too arrogant. I suggest taking the city of Beikan at once, and then killing all the Neosias. The middle-aged man who went to Song Yu's side last time said in a cold voice.
He has always been very disdainful of the New West Asians, but he was threatened by Song Yu once that day, and he has always held a grudge, and he can't wait to go to Song Yu for revenge now.
The person who was called the teacher by the middle-aged man was a young man with a thin face, and there was a scar on the left side of his face, which made him look particularly hideous.
"There's no hurry. Chengjiang, the deployment of the two cities of the New West Asians, have you found anything? Cheng Yun asked.
Cheng Yun is the commander of the first division in the East China Sea, and the Cheng family is the first military family in the East China Sea. Cheng Yun himself is very resolute and decisive, brave and strategic, so he was able to become the commander of the first division of the East China Sea Kingdom at a very young age.
After he became the division commander, he also cultivated a lot of henchmen. Cheng Jiang, who is also from the Cheng family, is Cheng Yun's right-hand man and the chief of staff of the First Division.
"Division commander, come and see, the two cities defended by New West Asia happen to be horns of each other, and if we attack one city, we may be ambushed by the other. What's even stranger, though. There may be two or so regiments of soldiers in the northern city, and there may be a regiment in the other small city. Where did the Neosia get so many troops? "As chief of staff, Cheng Jiang is his job to analyze intelligence. He sent people to the front to see it, so he was curious about where the Neosia had come from so many soldiers, and more importantly, "these Neosians don't know what the hell they are doing, like marmots, they dug a long pit outside the two cities, and everyone was in the pit." ”
"Inside the pit? Tell me more about what's going on? Cheng Yun's eyes lit up.
Cheng Jiang gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the trenches, but in the end, he was also puzzled and said that he didn't know what the trenches were for.
Firearms have not yet been popularized in the small countries around Tianlong, and the fighting method of trench confrontation has not yet appeared, and it is the first time that the people of the East China Sea have encountered such a situation, and they do not know the role of trenches.
But after listening to Cheng Jiang's introduction, everyone was very excited.
"Aren't these Neo-West Asians stupid? Did you dig a pit in advance and are you ready to bury yourself? The deputy division commander smiled excitedly.
There is only one demand in the country this time, to exterminate all the Neo-West Asians. And it has already been promised that after defeating the Neosia people this time, all the spoils will be divided by the first division itself, and there will be no domestic ones.
For the ordinary people of the First Division, the most concerned thing may be the wealth and food they have grabbed after defeating the Neosia people. This is all in short supply in the East China Sea.
But for an officer at the highest level, such as the deputy division commander, he has the right to choose everything that Xinsia has, wealth, and beautiful women.
He had already begun to fantasize about having a wealth and beauty after defeating the New West Asians.
After the deputy division commander finished speaking, most of the people laughed like the deputy division commander, and they all thought that this time they would definitely be able to defeat the new West Asians.
"Division commander, deputy division commander. I've heard before that the muskets of the Neosia are very powerful, and when defending the city, it is difficult for our attacking warriors to move an inch. But this time, these stupid Neosia people themselves dug pits in the field to fight us, and without the protection of the city wall, they would definitely not be the opponent of our warriors of the East China Sea! We will attack one city directly and quickly, and kill all the Neosia people, and the Neosia people in the other city will not be a problem. A group leader said with a smile.
