Chapter 498: Temptation
At the end of May of the 23rd year of Jian'an, the Chenhe Army landed in the south of the 6th National Congress of South Asia overnight, and overnight 100,000 troops, 30 airships, and 100 tanks were built into a temporary base that could be attacked and retreated.
Less than 100 kilometers to the north of the base of Taishici's army is the most important port city in the south of the Amir Empire, the city of Garigar.
Tai Shici's first task was to capture the city of Garigal, occupy the southern strongholds, and then go all the way north along the coastal plain to occupy the local governance city.
These two important cities occupied the southern economic center of the Amir Empire.
On the second day of Taishi Cideng's 6, after the fleet was vacated, the 6th Central Army also boarded the fleet.
This time, the Middle East Fleet was all dispatched, and the General Headquarters of Pang Tong sat in the middle and successfully gained a foothold in the north of Chennai City.
The army of Chenhe invaded, but Amir did not panic, he prepared a secret weapon.
Let's say that after Taishi Ciden 6, he only rested for one day, and then began to dispatch troops and horses to slowly advance to the north.
The territory of the Amir Empire is vast, and it is not much better than that of the Great Han, but the total population is only more than 19 million so far.
But there was no way to take care of the crops, so Tai Shici divided the soldiers and horses into three routes, responded to each other, and sat in the Chinese army by himself and dispatched them in a unified manner.
On the first day, the army advanced thirty kilometers to the north, which was conservative, there was no way, the artillery regiment's baggage was too heavy, and this degree was normal.
Amir did not intercept it, let it gallop on the plains, and the next day advanced another thirty kilometers, Amir still did not move.
Amir had already appeared in the sky, and all tricks and conspiracies could not be carried out.
On the third day, when Taishici's army was still more than ten kilometers away from the city of Garigal, it was noon.
Tai Shi Ci Headquarters Deliberations.
"Now that our army is only ten kilometers away from the city of Garigar, I want to attack directly and take the city of Garrigar in one go, what do you think?"
Lu Budao: "Commander can't be like this, at this time I am open to the enemy and secret, although I have the second armored and artillery regiment as a secret weapon, but I should test the reality of the other party." ”
After years of study, Lu Bu is no longer a brave and unscrupulous person, Tai Shici heard Lu Bu say this, and nodded secretly.
In fact, how could Tai Shici be so reckless, he just wanted to draw out the thoughts of the two deputies.
Guo Jia also nodded and said: "It is better to send the vanguard regiment to the city to find out the truth, although our army's rifle has a very long range, but the other side has artillery, and the range is not under the rifle, if the number is too much, our army will not be able to attack hard." Jia thought that if Amir did not intercept our army for a long time, there must be something hidden in the city, perhaps a huge number of sky-bombarding cannons, or other weapons of mass destruction that should not be exposed prematurely! ”
Guo Jia said this, Tai Shici and Lu Bu both thought so.
"Okay, since Commander Lu and General Staff Guo both think so, then I will order Cheng Pu to lead 10,000 men of the 27th Regiment to the north first to test the enemy's situation, if I can draw out the enemy's hole cards, then it will be the best."
The headquarters immediately ordered Cheng Pu to take the lead in sending troops, and the remaining three lines of troops and horses were lined up to build trenches and barbed wire on the spot to prevent enemy spies from entering.
Cheng Puling the famous horses of the headquarters out of the camp, all the way non-stop, under the guidance of the airship, only more than 1,000 meters away from the city, he dug a ditch and built a trench, and after the trench was built, there was no movement in the city. But when he was about to go any further, he saw a row of cannons on the city wall, and when he counted them, there were four or five hundred.
At this time, Cheng Pu could not advance, so he had to order the soldiers to stop marching on the spot.
Amir knew that someone was coming, so he personally climbed to the top of the city and ordered the cannon to be fired.
With a burst of rumbling sounds, a huge artillery shell fell dozens of meters in front of Cheng Pu's army, and more than a dozen soldiers were even wounded by shrapnel.
Cheng Pu hurriedly ordered: "The whole army retreats five hundred meters!" ”
Cheng Pu just gave the order, on the other side, the cannon fire did not stop, Amir saw the Chenhe army retreating from a distance, laughed, and immediately ordered: "The war elephants attack!" ”
With Amir's order, the city wall suddenly had more than ten holes, and a steady stream of huge war elephants rushed out of the holes, with a magnificent momentum and a steady stream of numbers.
Cheng Pu saw that he had seen the war elephant soldier, but he had never seen the war elephant soldier in iron armor.
Rifles can penetrate iron armor, but their lethality is greatly reduced, and if they are approached by these war elephants, they are afraid that the people who will be trampled to death will not know how much.
Moreover, the war elephant itself has rough skin and thick flesh, where is an ordinary rifle can easily kill.
"Don't panic, the back team becomes the front team, retreat! Machine gun battalion cover! ”
Thousands of war elephants rushed in, and the model Cheng Pu ordered the machine gun battalion to build a temporary machine gun pit, more than 20 machine gun pits, if it is far away, it will naturally have no lethality, but if it is close, it is a war elephant, and it cannot be broken through in a short time.
Tens of thousands of horses retreated, but the degree was not slow, the war elephant was only 500 meters away, suddenly from the opposite side of the sudden sound of the ground, in a moment, more than 20 war elephants were shot.
The war elephant who was shot suffered from the pain and actually overturned the elephant soldier on his back, causing some confusion in the elephant herd.
But this was only a small chaos, there were too many war elephants, and a swarm of swarms rushed up, and there were only more than 300 meters left.
How fast the war elephants are, don't look at their huge bodies, you think they are inflexible. A normal elephant can run up to 20 kilometers per hour!
Cheng Pu knew common sense, and after the army had withdrawn a few hundred meters, he ordered the machine gunners to retreat quickly.
Fortunately, as soon as Cheng Pu came, he dug a trench here, and the trench was not long, but it happened to be able to resist for a while.
A man can jump into a trench and climb out from the other side, but a war elephant can't because it's too heavy.
Cheng Pu was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he had built a wide and deep trench, he couldn't imagine that the other party had so many war elephants.
Although the Amir Empire is rich in elephants, there are thousands of them in any city, and it takes an unknown amount of time to accumulate.
Amir stood at the head of the city and shouted, "Falk oil! Falk Oil! Give me a chase! ”
Fack oil is not a name for a person.
The war elephants crossed over from the trenches, and when they reached the opposite side, Cheng Pu's army had already withdrawn more than 1,000 meters.
"Retreat with all your might, flare!"
Cheng Pu calculated, he sent out the signal flare, and it would take at least ten minutes for the reinforcements to arrive behind him, and Cheng Pu had to squeeze out all his potential.
"The whole army obeyed the order, did not concentrate, took the squad as a unit, spread out in all directions, did not care about the war elephants, and specialized in shooting war elephants.
Cheng Pu gave this order, and the 10,000 army immediately broke into pieces and spread out in all directions.
The war elephants did not have a unified target for impact, so they had to disperse and pursue, so that the momentum was not so great.
Cheng Pu rode a horse, not afraid of the war elephants to catch up, but none of them fled, the entire 27th Regiment, can ride, only more than 10 officers above the battalion level, if they run, this regiment will be over.
It's not that Cheng Pu didn't want to resist and ran away, but those war elephant soldiers were also fully armored, and there were five or six people on one war elephant, and here were five or six thousand soldiers and horses.
What's even more exaggerated is that Cheng Pu clearly saw that after the war elephants left the city, the dense figures in the more than ten city caves swarmed out of them, all of them were gunpowder gunners.
The 27th Regiment was not here to fight, but to lure the enemy, and it was not a good thing to fall into it.
