Chapter 2 The First Artillery of the Anti-Liao War
The roar of the tank pulled Chen Qiangguo's thoughts to reality.
When he first came to the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Qiangguo was very curious about everything here, and the people here were dressed very differently from modern people.
drank rice wine, watched juggling, listened to book reviews, and even bought rock sugar gourds sold by the Song people and tasted them.
He was shocked by the fact that Jiang Yin was able to cross, and vowed to keep it secret for the rest of his life.
When the salary of 100,000 yuan in the first month hit his card, he became more loyal to Tianchen Company, the army, and Jiang Yin.
Because they were the ones who gave his life a new lease of life.
Once a month, when his parents learned that he had made so much money, his face was always full of happiness, originally they blamed themselves for always being sick, and wished they would die one day, but now that their son has a chance and has the ability to take care of them, they begin to cherish their lives again, after all, they still want to live to hold their grandchildren.
"Since the company pays you a salary of 100,000 yuan a month, then you must be worthy of the company, and those who should contribute must contribute, and you can't be lazy and slippery."
This is what Chen's father has to warn Chen Qiangguo every time before leaving.
"Dad, I know, I will work hard and give back to the company." Chen Guoqiang also answers like this every time....
....
Now, the time has come to give back to the company.
Driving the roaring tank, Chen Qiangguo raised the lift chair, opened the hatch, stuck his head out of the cockpit, and drove it like an open-top car.
Manipulating the joystick in his hand and changing gears from time to time, the tank driven by Chen Qiangguo has been closely following the tank in front of him.
Ninety tanks, all driven by the same drivers as him, maintained a high level of discipline.
These 90 tanks received a task from their superiors, and the target of attack was Youzhou, which was only less than 100 miles away from Cangzhou.
Since the completion of the new Cangzhou City, the Liao State was very unsuitable for the rise of the New Song Dynasty, especially the tank vehicles had many times from Cangzhou to the border of Youzhou for artillery training, so that the Liao people were like facing a great enemy.
Youzhou is the strategic place of Liao, it is the entrance of Tan, Shun, Ji, You, Zhuo, Mo and Ying in the southeast of the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, and it is the military and political seat of "in front of the mountain", which can be described as the lifeline of Youyun region, and Liao will defend the city with heavy troops.
After seeing the New Song State slaughtering 30,000 soldiers of the Liao State, the Liao State turned the offensive to the defensive, in addition to sending the prime minister, Han Derang who stayed in Nanjing, and the general Yelu Xiezhen to lead troops to defend Youzhou.
When the Song army attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, he also sent Yelu Xida, the king of the Northern Courtyard, Xiao Tuogu, the general, and Saha, the king of Yishi, to strengthen the defense.
And on the basis of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Youzhou was expanded on a large scale, so that Youzhou City became a military and political capital with a radius of 36 miles, a height of 3 zhang and 6 zhang, a width of 1.5 zhang, and a population of 300,000.
Most importantly, the Liao State mobilized 50,000 soldiers as soldiers to defend the city to consolidate the city defense of Youzhou City.
The army of the Great Liao has always been known for its bravery, and if 50,000 people defend the city, according to the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is estimated that it will take 300,000 people to gnaw down the city.
However, this expedition of the New Song Kingdom only sent 12,000 people.
But twelve thousand people in the era of thermal weapons are enough.
The tanks were walking briskly on the pre-repaired roads, and the personnel carriers behind them were carrying many soldiers and constantly converging towards Youzhou City.
The big move of the new Song Kingdom did not hide from the eyes of the Liao State spies, and from the moment he saw the New Song Dynasty set off for Youzhou, the spies rode fast horses towards Youzhou, and he wanted to convey the news to Youzhou as soon as possible.
The new Song Kingdom is going to make a move on Youzhou!
But the horse he rode did not dare to take the avenue, and could only detour further along the path.
In front of the mechanized troops, his speed seemed to be so slow, and he didn't arrive on horseback until the army of the New Song Kingdom had already approached the city of Youzhou, and the news at this time had no meaning.....
Because of the new Song Kingdom, the first round of shelling has begun ....
.....
"The gunner prepares, the deputy gunner reloads, the east thirty, the angle thirty, the fixed wing, each group of half of the first round of artillery salvos, fired!"
With this fire, the barrel of the tank suddenly burst into a string of sparks, and then in an instant the tank shook backwards due to the huge recoil.
In the next moment, I saw a roaring explosion of the reinforced Youzhou city wall.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Liao army in the city was in chaos, but fortunately, the commander Lord Shi was still there, and Yelu Xianzhen immediately ordered all the soldiers to climb the city wall to defend the city.
After the Liao army rushed to the city wall in dense numbers, they saw the tank troops below.
Ninety tanks, attacking from four directions, with an average of only about twenty tanks in front of each city gate, compared to the tall and magnificent city walls, twenty tanks did not look so intimidating.
"These guys from the New Song Kingdom, aren't they just about to face the encirclement and suppression of the Great Song Dynasty, why would they suddenly launch an attack on our Great Liao!" Yelu asked angrily on the city wall.
And the prime minister in front of him, Han Derang, also narrowed his eyes slightly, he was also a little curious, obviously from the Great Song Dynasty, he received a message from the spies that the Great Song Dynasty would send 200,000 troops, and at the same time, Zhao Guangyi personally drove the news that he wanted to exterminate the New Song Kingdom.
This new Song State should have urgently avoided the war now, and it would be lucky not to pray for the Liao State to attack, but it turned out to run directly over and surround Youzhou, which is equivalent to directly starting a war against the Liao State.
Is this small country crazy? Although it is undeniable that their military strength is undeniable, fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers, this new Song country is so fearless, could it be that something happened to the bandits on the side of the Great Song Dynasty?
It's no wonder that Han Derang doesn't know.
The matter of the 200,000 army being surrendered by Jiang Yin has just been transmitted to the Great Song Dynasty not long ago, and the spies in Bianjing want to transmit the news to Youzhou, and it will take half a month at the earliest, and at this time, the spies responsible for delivering the news are still on the way. Of course, he didn't know that the Great Song Dynasty was now under the control of the New Song Kingdom.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Han Derang simply didn't want to, now that the troops were coming to the city, their Great Liao Kingdom still had a great chance of winning in the face of these people.
"No need to talk nonsense, since the New Song Kingdom has already made a move against my Da Liao, then it's no wonder that we counterattacked, first gather all the soldiers, guard the city wall, and prevent these New Song soldiers from climbing the city tower, Yelu Xiezhen organized a group of troops to prepare to kill out of the city, and use our cavalry to kill all these monsters in the wild." Han Derang resolutely ordered.
...
"Colonel, according to the plan, the enemy army has gathered on the city wall in large numbers to defend the city!"
"Excellent! Maintain radio communication, from now on, no need to hide half, no need to use conventional shells, all tanks will fire at the towers together, it is bound to play the maximum mass destruction of the enemy's living force! ....”
