746 pre-war contest

"I don't know how many people will come, can we defend it?" A newly graduated second lieutenant from a military academy asked, and their company commander, the captain, asked.

"I don't know, but we can give it a try. Who knows that. The captain gave an uncertain answer. War is like this, there are a lot of uncertainties, and these uncertainties will directly lead to a great variability of war.

"Order our troops to set up three fronts. Only in this way will we be able to maintain our front as much as possible. "The lieutenant colonel, accompanied by a Marine Major ground commander, inspected all of the current defensive lines of the Qin army.

"Well, I wonder how long, a day, or two days can we last?" The lieutenant colonel was born in the Celestial Army, and he was not very good at ground operations, so he handed over ground operations to the major commander of the ground forces.

"Well, if the logistics are unimpeded, I think we can defend for a longer time, and if we want reinforcements, I think we still have a chance to win. Sir. The major replied.

"I hope so." The lieutenant colonel said with some pessimism. In fact, he was not optimistic about being able to defend the airfield this time. But he really didn't understand, why didn't the people above let them retreat, or gave the order to retreat earlier, what was the upper side hesitating?

But the major kind of understood why he was doing that. According to the report obtained yesterday, the major believes that it is indeed not suitable to retreat at present, because the enemy situation is unknown, and at the same time, if it retreats, it must be fully planned, and the Qin army is still in the development stage, that is, all the equipment is in the combat stage. Once it is retracted, it will take quite a long time, unless it is to lose some heavy weapons and equipment, but in that case, the retreat will gradually evolve into a major rout, and on the way, the Qin army is likely to encounter an attack by the opponent. This attack is the most deadly. Because who knows where the Qi army will appear.

"All we can do is strengthen our defenses. Who knows what Qi Jun will do? "The Major doesn't have much confidence to hold on here. After all, the airport is too big. And his forces are simply not capable of defending these airfields.

And not far away, several large armies were gathering in a mighty manner, they were the Qi army attacking troops who had been ordered to rush over quickly, their number was not large, only more than a thousand people. But compared to the Qin army, their numbers were quite large. But in terms of weapons, they had only cavalry, bicycle mobile units, and some infantry, and their artillery was only two light two-inch guns. Machine guns did not. Most of them are armed with rifles.

"Listen, everyone, not far in front of you, is the old nest of those damn birds, and now, our task is to rush to the old nest and poke down the nest of those damned birds." An officer-like general of the Qi army rode on his horse and shouted loudly.

"Poke down, poke down." The Qi soldiers responded with high morale. Along the way, the Qi army continued to win victories, and although they were a little tired, their fighting spirit was very high. They became more and more convinced that they could overcome all odds to achieve victory, and along the way, they continued to seize some other materials, such as bicycles, some industrial products from Qin, light industrial products from Korea, and even they did not spare a blank piece of paper, these things were all materials for them.

The army marched mightily towards their goal. The Qin army, on the other hand, used the only ten planes in its hands. The other two planes had to stop flying due to mechanical problems, and the parts were so worn out that they could no longer take off. Ground crews can only use these two aircraft as spare parts providers. Many parts are universal, so just disassemble them.

"Buzz." After the sound of the aircraft engine, it slowly took off, and then flew around the airport to conduct reconnaissance, according to Qin Jun's own judgment, the enemy scouts had appeared, which meant that the opponent's large army would operate within the range of thirty to fifty miles behind. Therefore, it is important for Qin Jun's plane to check the situation in this area.

"Buzz." The plane is lowered in altitude so that the pilot can see the ground as much as possible.

"Smack." The observer in the back slapped the driver, then made a downward gesture with his finger to look down.

"Look below." The observer said loudly.

The driver nodded. Agree. Then turn your head around and look down. This look scared him.

A dense group of people below is walking in the direction of the airport. These people are like a swarm of ants. The black pressure is pressing, which makes people feel very numb when they see it.

"Damn, there are so many Qi people." The pilot scolded loudly.

"Take a look around, let's head back to the airport." The observer shouted. The roar of the engine is very loud, and sometimes the loud shouts may not be understood. So, sometimes, use gestures to illustrate things as much as possible.

"Buzz." The driver thought that the observer wanted to report the information he had obtained in a hurry, so he immediately turned around and returned to the airport.

"Is what you're saying true?" Two pilots reported.

"Yes, sir, to the south of our airport, a large number of Qi troops are coming towards us in a direction of about 270 degrees." The pilot reported.

"Well, the number of people, how many of them are there?" The Major continued.

"This, a lot, is estimated to be around two thousand." The pilots miscalculated the military power of the opposing side.

"Yes." The Major nodded solemnly. If what the pilots saw was true, now the situation is somewhat dangerous.

"How far away from us?" The major brought the map and looked at it.

"It's about ten miles. Not far away anyway. The pilot said after checking his flight record. They didn't waste more fuel consumption. In order to fly farther and see more places, their planes dismantled all the machine guns. But they still came back early. Because the driver was given the wrong instructions.

"Ten miles. Ten miles. The major said repeatedly.

"That's right. Go down and rest first. I'll keep you informed. The major said. The major is the ground commander.

"Yes, sir." Two pilots left.

"Damn Yan Jun still has two hours to get there. Do they attack immediately, or wait a little. Wait until the night to attack. The major said with an unguessing guess.

Now the mode of war is changing too fast. When he went to the military academy, he was taught platoon gun tactics, and now those new lieutenant military academy interns actually learned what kind of skirmish tactics. And from what Zhao State officers have actual combat experience. It's not enough for the major to have his own style of play, that is, multi-echelon defense, and he can only do this at the moment. Because his forces are very limited.

The Major's defensive plan was such that he transferred three platoons of reserves from the total strength and the other two companies to the south and west of the airfield.

To the south of the airport is the airport's ammunition depot, oil depot and other logistics facilities, and the Qin army has dispersed these ammunition and fuel as much as possible. But even so, there is still some stock in stock.

To the west, there is the command center of the airport. There are towers used for aircraft take-off and landing. and communications contact centres. There can be a telegram directly sent to Xinzheng and Xianyang. There are a force of pilots and ground crews, and they are about ten people. A telephone line and a telegraph line were urgently laid between the two. Due to time constraints. Both lines are laid out in an open line arrangement, that is, the lines are directly exposed. It can be seen with the naked eye of the human eye.

"Order a platoon of a company to be transferred to the command center to the west. Strengthen the defenses over there. Then all the combatants were ordered to enter combat mode and strengthen their vigilance. The rest of the people eat and rest. The major picked up the phone and ordered.

"Woooo Woooooooo "The airport sirens are loud. All the Qin soldiers who were building the fortifications immediately entered the fortifications and changed their weapons.

"What's wrong? Is the enemy coming? A private asked the private next to him.

"I don't know, hurry up." The private can only return like this.

"Everybody goes to combat duty, everybody goes to combat duty." The loudspeaker shouted loudly.

In fact, the Qi army was still resting at a position about the eight forces of the Qin army at this time, and the Qin army was a little overly nervous.

"Order everyone to rest in place, let them rest in the nearby woods, and hide them all for me." The commander of the Qi army said.

"Anything else?" The herald asked.

"I'm not done yet." The commander of the Qi army said.

"All soldiers eat, remember to eat canned food, there is no cooking smoke, no one can make a fire to cook. Then get a good rest. Finally, send some scouts to continue the reconnaissance. Finished. The commander of the Qi army said.

Then the herald clenched his fists and nodded.

"Whoa." And then he left. The commander of the Qi army now has to wait for the opportunity. The army has been advancing continuously for several days. People have a certain level of fatigue. And the commander of the Qi army is now trying to alleviate the resistance caused by this fatigue as much as possible.

"Damn the people of the Qi Kingdom, haven't they arrived?" A private of the Qin army waited anxiously, his gun already loaded with a bayonet.

"Don't be in a hurry, come and eat some canned food, the fight can be so easy. Don't be in a hurry. Stop and take a break. A sergeant major said unhurriedly.

"Sergeant Major, you say, are the Qi people coming back?" Private said.

"Yes, definitely. But they also have to eat, and they, like us, will be sent to death if they are hit by bullets. People want to live, it's that easy. The sergeant major said.

"War, the more you start fighting, the calmer it becomes, and if you're so nervous, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pull the bolt in the end." The sergeant major said with a smile.

"Let's talk about light topics and take the bayonet off first." Sergeant Major said. The private then unloaded his bayonet.

"Who are you?" The sergeant major asked.

"I'm from the north, from the grassland." Private replied.

"Where was it before?" The sergeant major continued.

"Longxi's." Private replied.

"Oh. Why didn't you develop in the Western Regions and run to the north. The sergeant major asked.

"Isn't there a lot of opportunities in the north, and we are developing fast. Everyone went out, some went to Xianyang, some went to the north, and some worked as workers in Taiyuan. I'm living a good life now. Private said.

"Well, then why did you become a soldier?" Sergeant Major said.

"Being a soldier, why, do you need to talk about it? Whoever of us Qin people doesn't want to be a soldier, even partners like me can't be a soldier if they want to. Being a soldier has a salary, a subsidy, and a lot of preferential policies, which is good. The most important thing is that if you get a medal, there will be a reward. "The privates are clearly here for a good reward.

"Is it easy to be a soldier?" The sergeant major asked.

"It's not good, it's really not good, and the selection of soldiers can be strict. Especially after disarmament. I was lucky to keep only the elite troops, and I did well in the preparatory training, and our commander strongly recommended me to become a soldier. Others had no hope at all, so they became workers. Either you don't buy and sell, or you can be a farmer. Private said.

"It's not good to be a soldier, it's just to kill, keep killing, live well, how good." Sergeant Major said. The sergeant major understood that it was quite possible that it would be a hard fight.

More and more people joined the chat. It's a way to ease tension on the battlefield. After all, the big war was ahead, and almost everyone's attention was on the front line.

"How?" Wang Jian asked the electromechanical staff officer.

"Message just sent." The mechanical and electrical staff officer handed the telegram to Wang Qian.

"The number is around two thousand. It seems that there are quite a few people from the Qi army. Wang Jian said after seeing the telegram.

"How can three hundred men defend?" Wang Jian looked at the telegram.

"Whew." Wang Jian also felt a little pressure. After all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.

"Wait and see." Wang Jian can only say this. He didn't know exactly what the situation was at the front, but all he could do was wait. Specific command, the front-line commander knows what to do. I can't interfere with the other party's command from such a distance.

"Damn the Qi people." A corporal of the Qin army sentry, scolded.

"There is a situation." As he spoke, a Qin soldier raised his rifle and fired a shot in that direction.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. And the Qin army in the trenches suddenly tensed their nerves, and they immediately entered their combat posts, and then took their guns to check the surrounding situation.

"What kind of gun to shoot, know or not, this will cause other people to be nervous." The corporal lectured. The private looked innocently at the corporal.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out.

"Hum. The bullet was struck by the corporal's hat. "Thankfully, it didn't hit him.

"Damn, there's a situation." The corporal scolded loudly. Then he rolled out of the position.

"Bang." A loud explosion followed. The explosion came from a warning mine planted by the Qin army.

"Shoot. Hurry up. A second lieutenant shouted loudly.

"Bang." Then there was another explosion.

"Bump bump bump. Sudden protrusion. Dodo. "The machine gun began to strafe that position.

"Bang. Boom. Sou. "The fierce exchange of fire continued to rise, this was a reconnaissance unit of the Qi army, they originally planned to quietly approach the Qin army, but unexpectedly, they were discovered. And then a shot will come at you. The Qi army was not reconciled and began to fight back. Then more people shot recklessly, as a result, during the shooting, one person accidentally touched a mine, and then the Qin army began to tilt their ammunition.

"Shoot, bang." Loud shouts. Machine guns, rifle fire. The crisp sound of bullet casings jumping out. The scene was extremely intense.

"Bang. Bang. "The Qin soldiers kept shooting.

But gradually, the other party's gunshots that fought back became less and less, but the sound of bullets on the Qin army's side became more and more.

"Damn, all stop shooting. Stop shooting. A lieutenant hurried from behind.

"Stop shooting." The lieutenant shouted.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out, and a soldier ended a fierce shootout.

"It's crazy. Waste ammunition, shoot casually in any big situation. All rest and go. "The lieutenant couldn't say anything. He didn't know the specifics. He went to the captain to report the situation, and something like this happened. Then he found out what was going on. Then I went to report.

And after the Qin soldiers experienced such a nervous emergency shooting, their emotions began to become a little relaxed.

"Damn, it scared the hell out of me. I didn't even know that I had hit so many bullets. One of the machine gunners said nervously.

"The next time you shoot, try to shoot in point, and if you can't see the target, you have to identify the target. When you see a target, especially if it's very close to you, you can shoot whatever you want. It doesn't matter if the machine gun is hot. The gunslinger said with a lot of experience.

He knew that the density of the gunfire could tell how many opponents there were, and he knew that it was very Kenny who was a tentative or reconnaissance activity on the part of the opponent, so he gave up the opportunity to shoot the machine gun to the new machine gunner. Let him practice his skills in shooting in a tense environment.

"It seems to be Qin Jun." The commander of the Qi army could hear from the dense gunfire that the opponent had a large number of machine guns, and the gunfire was very crisp. It shows that they are equipped with rifles that can hit far away, and this kind of rifle has strong penetration and killing power. And the number of such rifles equipped by the Qi army is very limited.

"It's hard for the opponent to fight." The commander of the Qi army muttered to himself.

Once again, the battlefield entered a brief period of calm. Subsequently, the wave of scouts came back with heavy losses, ten people came back three, one of whom was seriously wounded. But the commander of the Qi army still did not get what he wanted. So, he sent scouts again.

He needs to know the opponent's defenses, only then can he effectively deploy his forces, and then take the airfield and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

"Enemy." A private shouted loudly.

"Bang." Then another shot was fired. And then there was the sound of machine guns.

"Sudden thud. Sudden protrusions. "The machine gun began to use three bursts.

"Flares. Hurry up. The sergeant shouted loudly.

"Launch." A Qin soldier fires flares to provide illumination.

Then there was gunfire. The Qin soldiers poured their bullets as far as they could, where they thought there was an enemy.

"Stop shooting. Stop shooting. Stop shooting. A captain shouted.

"Check the ammunition situation." The captain could only take this method, and it was already about seven thirty o'clock in the night. It's been harassed twice.

The captain is certainly not the way to go.

"Sir, I think it's very inappropriate for us to do this at this time, and we should take another step." The captain said.

"What do you mean?" The major said.

"Bump bump bump. Sudden protrusions. Boom. Boom. Bang bang. Bang. Then there was a flurry of shots. The sound was very intense.
