Chapter 42: The Seventy-Eighth Division Surrenders (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!) )
The people were all simple, and finally agreed to leave and go to the East China Sea together, which finally made Song Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
In particular, the people knew that there were not enough troops to attack the East China Sea, and the city began to recruit troops again, and all the men were enthusiastically joining the army, and in one day, they were full.
Song Yu immediately distributed the weapons, and then ordered Qin Shou to lead his battalion and system soldiers to attack Lingcheng immediately.
Lingcheng is located in the direction of the south of Dalang Kening City, and it is the most powerful military force all the way south to the East China Sea.
If the defenders of Lingcheng knew that they were going south with a large number of men and horses, it would be impossible not to come out and attack. Staying is also a hidden danger, and it is easier to get rid of it early.
For convenience, Song Yu sent Long Yi and the others out.
The brand-new equipment of a hundred system soldiers shocked Qin Shou, although he didn't know what the power of these weapons was, he believed that Song Yu would never take out any garbage. Suddenly there was a slight envy.
"Your mission this time is to attack Lingcheng directly, not necessarily Lingcheng. As long as we are crippled, we are afraid of the enemies in the city, and we can delay the time for us to go south. Song Yu said, and then looked at Long Yi, "Long Yi, you bring ten mortars over, and you don't need to bring the Makqin machine gun." ”
"Yes!" Long Yi took the order.
After Long Yi and the others set off, Song Yu and the people of the city also set off the next day.
With more than 10,000 people, the speed of walking is not ordinarily slow, but these people left voluntarily, very well managed, and very cooperative.
So these such good people, Song Yu has also made up his mind to protect them!
It was only one day, and I walked more than forty miles.
For this speed, Song Yu was a little helpless, fortunately, except for Lingcheng in the south, there were no strong enemies in the radius, as long as he entered the East China Sea.
And Long Yi and they had already come to the outside of Lingcheng City.
"Instructor Long Yi, how do you think this battle should be fought?" With six hundred soldiers who had been trained for almost two months, and with the help of Long Yi, Qin Shou felt that no matter how many enemies there were in the city, they would be floating clouds.
"Shelling!" Long Yi said with a sneer.
"W-What?" Qin Shou was a little confused, "But we didn't bring a cannon!" ”
"Isn't that it?" Long Yi pointed to a few small pocket cannons behind him and said, Qin Shou's face changed.
"Can such a small cannon be fired? And how to launch? Qin Shou asked in shock.
"Look at it carefully, these weapons, the commander will definitely equip the whole army in the future." Ryuichi said.
Qin Shou nodded, stopped talking, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at Long Yi's command.
"Niu Yi, do you understand the deployment situation in the city?" Ryuichi asked.
"Report, because of the proximity of Lingcheng to our army, especially after we destroyed the surrounding cities before, the soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom in Lingcheng were extremely cautious. For convenience, the soldiers' barracks were almost always built near the city walls. The city wall of the mausoleum is five meters, and we only need to get close to a distance of about 500 meters to be able to shell the enemy within the inner wall with a certain degree of crosshair. Niu Yi said.
All system soldiers are almost all-round elites in World War I, and mortars are weapons that all system soldiers can use.
"That's good. Now let's get some rest, and when it's late at night, we'll go straight to it, and the artillery fire will cover the city walls. When the time comes, our large team will be responsible for the attack, Battalion Commander Qin, take your troops to press in slowly, fire a volley of guns, and don't let the enemy get close. Long Yi commanded lightly.
Produced systematically, perhaps the strategic ability is Long Yi's shortcoming, but the battlefield ability is far from being comparable to Qin Shou.
Qin Shou nodded a little dazedly, artillery fire covering the city wall? With those ten small-looking 'cannons'?
Soon the night came, and the enemy in the city did not know that the enemy army had touched it, and the spies of the defenders in the city could not be compared with Niu Yi at all, and they had already been killed by Niu Yi.
The army in the city became blind and deaf, and had no idea that a catastrophe was about to happen tonight.
The dragon and the others quietly touched the distance of 500 meters outside the city wall.
Almost all the soldiers of New West Asia, Long Yi participated in the training, with their profound combat experience training, these soldiers have long been considered an elite, as long as they train for a period of time, they will be elite.
Action, everyone is quiet, fully able to obey orders.
After arriving five hundred meters outside the city and setting up ten mortars, Long Yi calculated some factors for the shelling and immediately ordered to prepare for the start of the shelling.
"Fire!"
"Whoosh-" The cannonball flew out of the barrel and slammed into the sky with a piercing screech.
Before Qin Shou could react, the cannonball had already landed on the city wall.
"Boom, boom—" The first wave of shells fell, but it did little damage to the walls.
Qin Shougang wanted to laugh, and then saw that after several rounds of shelling, the top of the city wall had been partially flattened, and if there were a few more rounds of shelling, I was afraid that this shoddy city wall would collapse.
At the beginning, the resistance of Lingcheng was also very fierce, and the city wall had long been blown up by the cannons of the East China Sea people, and the current city wall was just barely put up by the East China Sea people, and there was no anti-artillery effect at all.
The defenders of the city also began to react.
"Not good, there is an enemy attacking the city, and there are so many cannons. It can't be the main force of Dalang Koning City attacking me, right? The division commander said in horror.
Within a hundred miles of Dalang Koning City, only one mausoleum city is still in the hands of Donghai.
The division commander also knew about Qingcheng's affairs, and Xinsia defeated the allied forces of the two countries.
I've heard that there is no main force to be dispatched.
Now with artillery, that is, the main force will attack itself.
The division commander was immediately frightened, "Come on, order all the soldiers not to resist and surrender immediately!" ”
The adjutant also knew the strength of the New West Asian army, and nodded and turned away without thinking.
After shelling for a long time, Long Yi was about to lead people to attack, when he saw hundreds of people starting to come out of the city, still shouting surrender.
Long Yi and Qin Shou glanced at it, and they both didn't understand what the situation was.
"I'll go take a look. Don't shoot just yet. Long Yi said, and advanced to the vicinity of the soldiers of the East Sea Kingdom who had come out of the city.
Everyone is wearing a white cloth, is this really going to surrender?
Long Yi was a little surprised, he thought that the defenders of the city would resist to the end.
"Sir, don't shoot, let's surrender, our division commander ordered, the whole division surrendered, don't shoot, sir." When a soldier saw Long Yi and the others standing up, he immediately shouted in horror.
"Tell your division commander to come and see me." Long Yi said in a deep voice.
Soon, a fat man quickly ran to Long Yi and smiled flatteringly, "Sir, I am the defender of Lingcheng, the commander of the 78th Division of the East China Sea Kingdom, Hu Laosan." If the chief is looking for something to me, although he is instructed, as long as he doesn't kill me Hu Laosan, he will obey the chief for everything. ”
