Chapter 3: Confrontation
The second round of shelling came as scheduled.
The indiscriminate and non-hidden attack was devastating for the Liao defenders in Youzhou City.
The 125mm smoothbore cannon erupted from the barrel like a dragon entering the sea, and after drilling into the city wall, there was a huge explosion.
Ninety tanks, although they do not look very powerful in modern times, but for the ancients, this group of troops is something they cannot make up for no matter how many people they use.
Under the coordinated attack of more than 20 tanks, after only two rounds of artillery bombardment, the city gate wall of Youzhou City, which had been reinforced for more than a year, turned into powder, and there were broken stone bricks and collapsed walls everywhere.
And the Liao people who were originally guarding the city wall are all gone, and only in those broken stone bricks, their mutilated corpses can be faintly seen.
Han Derang was already frightened, Yelu Xianzhen was not far from him at the time, he saw with his own eyes that the most courageous general in Daliao was smashed into a pile of rotten tofu by a flying city brick when his head exploded, and those soldiers around him almost all ended up like him.
This kind of power is definitely not something that can be mastered by man, only God can master such a terrifying power!
Han Derang trembled and ran towards the city tower with the support of his subordinates, now at this moment, he just wanted to stay away from the city tower, and then ride his horse to escape from this ghost place.
However, the defenders of the city did not know what was happening on the tower, and the deputy general Yelu Gefei had been gathering soldiers in the city, but he heard a loud noise, and saw smoke and fire rising in the direction of the four gates of the south, east, west, and west.
In any case, there were far more defenders in the city than on the walls.
At this time, all four gates were attacked, much to Jerugefei's annoyance.
"Damn the New Song people! They are so arrogant with some iron-hulled weapons, Khitan warriors, the eagles on the grassland will not be frightened by the ridiculous iron monsters in front of you, raise the swords in your hands, pick up your bows and crossbows, and let those weak Song people know what grassland heroes are! Yeluge raised his arms and shouted.
"Grum! Grum! These words of encouragement also made those Liao soldiers extremely angry.
"Now listen to my orders, Hua Doumu and Duo'er will go to guard the north and south gates, Teng Gemu and I will lead two troops to guard the east and west gates, and kill them directly when they encounter the Han people, we don't need prisoners, and when the war is over, I will make their heads into Jingguan, so that these cowards will know the strength of my Da Liao!" After Yelu Gefei gave the order, he led his subordinates to the east gate, while the rest of the soldiers rushed to the city gate they were to defend under the leadership of their respective generals......
........
Chen Qiangguo stared at the collapsed city wall in the distance, a little stunned.
Although it has been three months since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, what is happening now is his first war in the true sense, because in the first three months, his daily task is to train all the time, drive tanks, train, drive tanks, boring and boring.
But raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while.
Today's large-scale battle against the Liao State has finally begun.
Although Chen Qiangguo heard that the combat effectiveness of these Liao people was very weak, and he also knew that the attack of thermal weapons would make the Liao people fall into passivity, he never thought that the war would present such a one-sided situation.
When more than 20 tanks fired artillery at the city tower together, Chen Qiangguo was sure that there were at least hundreds of Liao troops on the city tower, but these Liao troops were calm in front of the black hole of the tank.
Chen Qiangguo wanted to applaud their ignorance, because in the next second, these people would lose their lives because of their ignorance.
After only two rounds of shelling, the city wall of the east gate of Youzhou City collapsed, and the building that had taken a year of hard work by the Liao people was collapsed.
After seeing the power of the tanks, the lucky ones around the city walls who did not die also fled, and they also saw the power of the tanks, and they also knew that this kind of battle was no longer something they could stop.
Therefore, after the shelling, there was no longer a single Liao army on the city wall, and even at the collapsed city gate, there were only the corpses of the Liao army.
That's it?
Chen Qiangguo was a little incredulous, just two shells, and the war was so won?
As if to deny Chen Qiangguo's idea, behind the collapsed city wall, a large number of Liao troops suddenly appeared...
"The infantry regiments of the 2nd Brigade are ready, the enemy has appeared, and the heavy machine guns and submachine guns must wait for the enemy to enter the effective killing range before they can shoot, understand?!。" On the other end of the radio, the voice of the brigade commander reached the communication equipment of all the people in the various infantry regiments.
"Understood!"
...
The city wall collapsed, which made Yelu Gefei very surprised, the city wall that had been strengthened for so long was now collapsing with a loud bang, and he was a little puzzled.
There is likely to be a conspiracy of the New Song people.
So Jerugefei climbed up the gate of the city, which had completely collapsed, and looked out cautiously.
As a result, he saw more than 20 steel monsters, as well as less than a thousand New Song troops, stationed not far from the city gate with strange weapons.
Less than a thousand! This made Yelu Gefei happy in his heart, although he was very jealous of those iron-skinned green guys, but the Song army, which was only more than a thousand people, was simply an appetizer in Yelu Gefei's opinion.
You must know that he has an army of nearly 10,000 people, although the number is only 6,000 now, but it is more than enough to encircle and suppress this squad of more than 1,000 people.
After ordering someone to carefully clean up the stone bricks piled up at the east gate, Yelu Gefei said to his soldiers: "Now there are only 1,000 Song people at the east gate, and there is open land in the distance, and it has been determined that there can be no ambush.
Then we will send 6,000 people to encircle and suppress these New Song soldiers at one time, not only can we kill them all, but we can also capture those green iron monsters.
Once my Great Liao Kingdom obtains these iron monsters, the future war will be invincible and invincible! ”
As soon as I heard that the general said that there were only 1,000 people outside, the soldiers below also secretly ran behind the ruined city wall to look, and sure enough, they found that the number of the army of the New Song Kingdom was very small, and said that 1,000 people were all said to be more than a thousand.
At this time, all the soldiers were moved, you know, Liao Jingzong, the lord of the Great Liao, very much wanted to get a steel monster of the New Song Kingdom, so he wanted to get one from the New Song Kingdom no matter from diplomacy or trade, no matter what means he used, but Jiang Yin regarded the tank as a treasure, and did not sell a single one, nor did he accept exchange.
Therefore, the depressed Liao Jingzong announced in the army and at home that whoever could capture or get a steel monster of the New Song Kingdom would be willing to pay a reward of one hundred taels......
