Chapter 442: The Spartan Myth Shattered

Yuan Shikai undoubtedly has brains, and his words made Ye Zhichao, Wang Shizhen and others climb away from the dark clouds in an instant to see the sun and the moon, as if they saw the hope of a new life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Do things honestly, don't think about those sideways! As long as we fight this battle, we will completely turn over, you must know that this is the opportunity given to us by Liu Mingchuan Liu, he was also detained with the halo of the general of the Huai Army before, and now he is also valued by His Majesty, and we must also be upright. ”

Ye Zhichao finally rejected Yuan Shikai's proposal, which made Yuan Shikai and others a little disappointed.

Yuan Shikai then changed the topic and said: "Okay, you are the head of the regiment, we all have to listen to you, then let's say that this Sparta, if you want to fight a turnaround, it's difficult!" ”

Wang Shizhen also echoed: "This is a terrain that is difficult to open for a long time, if it is our veterans, there is still hope, but now we have brought three battalions of recruits, one by one dragged and dragged with 2580,000, counting on them to charge into battle, it is estimated that they will all have to die, and in the end, the court will have to give us a charge of misuse of soldiers, and this life will be over." ”

Ye Zhichao ignored the complaints of the two, quickly put out the military map, compared it with the intelligence information one by one, and carefully polished it.

Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen glanced at each other, very helpless, and looked at Cao Kun, who directly looked at the obstacle and seemed to skip the two.

So, everyone gave up complaining for the time being, and gathered together to analyze the situation of friend and foe.

At this time, on the side of the Greek Spartan Army, the commander was Philobidas, with 27,800 infantry, mainly British French rifles, 22 Gatling machine guns, 6 French copycat version of the bloody heavy machine guns, 2,500 cavalry, mainly French cavalry guns, 28 field artillery artillery, and the supply method was local supply.

The 358th Regiment of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, because of the training of recruits, has four battalions and 8,000 people, which belongs to the temporary strengthening of the regiment, and the whole regiment is equipped with 10,000 rifles, 6,000 pistols, 120 heavy machine guns, 12 75 mm infantry guns, 4 125 mm cannons, 4 155 mm heavy howitzers, 500 motorcycles and cars, 20 fire reconnaissance assault vehicles, 10 field ambulances, and 188 supply trucks.

In terms of the number of troops, the Greek Spartan army had a considerable advantage, but in terms of equipment and firepower allocation, the Chinese Imperial Army had an absolute advantage.

In fact, the firepower of the ordinary standing regiment of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army is definitely not so strong, and the reason why the 358th Regiment is equipped with several times more artillery, fire reconnaissance assault vehicles, field ambulances and supply vehicles is because the regiment has brought 3 battalions of student recruits, these student soldiers are the baby bumps of the Chinese Empire, even if they can't be sharpened on the battlefield, they must ensure their lives, because even if these students do not join the army in the future, they are also the pillars of other aspects of society, if they are sacrificed in this trial war, That was a great loss for the Chinese Empire.

The number of artillery of the highest specification is equipped, because there are many student soldiers, and the high-tech work of artillery makes it easier for student soldiers to exert their strength, and at the same time, the artillery is in the rear, which is also safer.

the highest specification of reconnaissance fire assault vehicles to prevent sneak attacks by the enemy;

The highest level of medical equipment to prevent recruits from dying because they are injured and infected and do not rescue in time;

The highest level of logistical supply to ensure the nutritional supply of recruits, after all, their physical strength is not comparable to that of veterans, and if they are injured and die because of poor physical strength, it is not cost-effective.

Ye Zhichao analyzed the intelligence and said to Yuan Shikai: "Old Yuan, you are cautious, you will take a company of veterans and a battalion of recruits to be the vanguard, what do you think?" ”

The corners of Yuan Shikai's mouth twitched violently, knowing that Ye Zhichao was deliberate, so he smiled bitterly: "No problem, but lend me the fire reconnaissance assault company!" ”

"Yes! But only ten assault vehicles can be given to you! ”

The remaining fire reconnaissance assault vehicles also have to serve as regimental headquarters and logistics guards, so naturally they can't all be given to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai felt that ten assault vehicles were not bad, you must know that this is the most advanced equipment in the world at present, only the Chinese Imperial Army is equipped, and the Greek Spartan Army does not have this kind of equipment.

Although the structure of the fire reconnaissance assault vehicle is very simple, it is a car reinforced by special steel armor, and a 12.7 mm caliber bloody heavy machine gun is installed on the rear compartment, and the military of European and American countries can copy and produce it after seeing it, but so far, European and American countries have not produced this kind of combat vehicle, it may be that they are not clear about the cost and role of this vehicle.

With ten firepower reconnaissance assault vehicles, Yuan Shikai had enough confidence to immediately undertake the task of the pioneer officer.

"The Spartan army will not let us pass through Mount Killini easily, Wang Shizhen, you lead a company of veterans, bring a battalion of recruits, and follow Yuan Shikai twenty miles away. If Yuan Shikai's side is attacked and harassed by a small group of guerrillas, you don't need reinforcements, if you encounter a large force to block it, you can divide your troops into two ways and flank the enemy in a roundabout way. ”

"Yes!" Wang Shizhen received the order.

"The chief of staff will lead the remaining recruit troops, and I will bring the remaining veteran companies and fire reconnaissance assault vehicles to guard the surroundings, and if the enemy approaches, I will give a warning in time."

Ye Zhichao finally said: "This battle is our turnaround battle, I hope you will work together, we will play our ambition with dignity, so that the rest of the military will no longer look at us with colored glasses!" ”

"Our slogan is!"

"Use me in the first battle, I will win!"

……

The 358th Regiment set off after the pre-war mobilization, and Yuan Shikai took the lead, with an arduous task.

Mount Killini, looking at the surrounding dangerous mountains, Yuan Shikai kept frowning, if the Spartan army set up an ambush here, it would be a very difficult problem.

"Scout platoon!"

"Here!"

"Occupy the commanding heights around you, and on each commanding height, you must deploy two heavy machine guns!"

"Battalion Commander Yuan, there are dozens of commanding heights around here, and our heavy machine guns are not enough, if two heavy machine guns are deployed at each commanding height, I am afraid that the front army will not have enough heavy machine gun fire to cover."

Yuan Shikai said: "This kind of terrain, heavy machine guns can't play an effect at all on the road, it's better to deploy them on the commanding heights here, and I will be of great use for a while!" ”

Yuan Shikai had already formulated a strategy in his heart, and he felt that if he killed all the way through like this, the enemy would be dark and clear, and the danger would be great, and if he was not careful, the whole army would be annihilated.

Instead of blindly chasing and killing the enemy in the mountain, it is better to hook up with the enemy and lure them out.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”

At this moment, there were bursts of gunfire ahead, and a town of riots suddenly appeared in the recruit company.

"What's the situation?"

Yuan Shikai was shocked and hurriedly called the signal corps to inquire.

"Report, it's my fire reconnaissance assault vehicle unit that is conducting fire reconnaissance!"

There was a false alarm, but Yuan Shikai frowned.

"Bastard, how come these recruits don't even know about our fire reconnaissance? There was even a riot! Which waste did he bring the soldiers? ”

"Report, this recruit company is led by a seven-platoon leader!"

"Seventh? This calf thing is a shame for Lao Tzu! ”

Yuan Shikai had no place to vent his anger, so he drove forward to check the situation of the troops, and by the way, he called the seventh platoon commander over and scolded him.

The seventh platoon commander smiled bitterly: "Battalion commander, you can't blame me for this!" It's purely that these student soldiers are too curious, and they were taught fire reconnaissance during training, but they all use rifles for fire reconnaissance, and the current situation is that the first few fire reconnaissance assault vehicles use bloody heavy machine guns for fire reconnaissance, and the effect is too shocking, and the recruits are just a little excited, and I have already educated them. ”

Yuan Shikai suddenly felt that his angry fist hit the air, and he couldn't breathe, and he was quite depressed.

"If you encounter a small group of enemy troops for a while, you will directly defeat them, if you encounter a large group of enemy troops, after the veteran soldiers are broken, the new barracks will retreat directly, I will arrange a fire ambush area in the back, let's strive to clean up all the roadblocks in one go, save everywhere, trouble!"

The seventh platoon commander said with a smile: "The battalion commander is wise, I just saw that our heavy machine guns were all transferred, so I guessed that the battalion commander was going to ambush!" Rest assured, battalion commander, the mission is guaranteed to be completed! ”

The 358th Regiment was slowly advancing, while the Spartan army ambushed in the Killini Mountains was quite depressed.

Standing on a high mountain, Philobidas observed the movements of the Chinese Imperial Army with a telescope, his face was very heavy.

"It deserves to be the army of a super-first-class country! Look at the excellent equipment of other soldiers, look at the equipment of our soldiers, it is simply incomparable! ”

"That's right! The Chinese Empire is really rich, and this army is making trucks on the march, which is really comfortable! Let's do a good job, run the mountain on two legs, and tire the horse! ”

"What a envy! Each of us only has five bullets, and we are usually reluctant to shoot live ammunition, looking at the chaos of other people's soldiers, bullets do not need money, and in the blink of an eye, I am afraid that hundreds of bullets have been fired. ”

Philobedas was furious when he heard the soldiers talking.

"Shut up! A bunch of idiots, they don't know that the enemy is scouting by fire! They all want to die! ”

The Spartan soldiers have been lying in the rocky grass forest for a long time, and the commander does not let them move, and the feces and urine can only be pulled in the crotch of their pants.

Hearing that Philobidas was scolding them, the soldiers were even more dissatisfied.

"Bullshit!"

A soldier was born unconvinced, scolded in a low voice, and at the same time continued to whisper to his comrades next to him, and even changed his comfortable posture.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”

On the road below the mountain, two fire reconnaissance assault vehicles passed by, and two bloody heavy machine guns strafed the mountains and forests on both sides.

Many Spartan warriors had never seen such a scene, and when they looked up and saw countless bullets coming overwhelmingly, it seemed that they were about to hit their hiding place, and one by one they suddenly turned green with fear.

The Spartan warrior with weak psychological quality suddenly screamed in fright, and even left his hiding place directly.

The soldier who was dissatisfied with Philobidas just now was even more hit in the arm by a 12.7mm bullet in his back.

The bloody heavy machine gun, which can be called by this name, means that the bullets it shoots, once they hit the human body, can be more than ten times more lethal than ordinary bullets, the head and torso are shot, blood is splattered, and they will definitely die, and the limbs are shot, basically broken bones and cripples.

The Spartan soldier's arm was broken in an instant, the broken arm flew a few meters away, the major artery in the arm was broken, and blood spurted several meters away.

"Ahhh My arm is gone! ”

In this life, he screamed so much that his screams were heartbreaking, and his screams echoed throughout the mountains.

The soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army on the reconnaissance vehicle quickly discovered the enemy's situation, and two bloody heavy machine guns fired fiercely at the enemy's hiding position, and at the same time a red signal flare flew into the sky.

"Damn it!"

Philobidas was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, so he finally laid an ambush for a day and a night, and saw that it was about to be completed, but at the critical moment, he did not evade the fire reconnaissance of the Chinese Imperial Army, resulting in the ambush location being exposed.

With a bang, Philobidas killed the Spartan soldier with a broken arm screaming.

"We have been exposed, retreat immediately!"

Philobidas gave the order, and the Spartan army hurriedly retreated.

Another eight fire reconnaissance assault vehicles arrived quickly, and ten combat vehicles maneuvered quickly on the road below the mountain, driving the Spartan enemy troops and strafing them non-stop, inflicting huge casualties on the Spartan army.

At the same time, Yuan Shikai also ordered the whole battalion of soldiers to launch a surprise attack.

The soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army, who were riding on military cards, quickly maneuvered to the forward position of the Spartan army, and whether they were veterans or recruits, they quickly got out of the car and went into battle.

In the blink of an eye, the whole Killini Mountains were filled with bullets and bullets, and the fighting was very fierce.

Although Philobidas suffered a big loss, he kept sneering, because he still had ambushes behind him, and he originally planned to lure the enemy deep and annihilate this Chinese imperial army.

"In a moment, you will be wiped out!"

Philobidas said through gritted teeth.

Soon, a company of troops of the Chinese Imperial Army was the first to enter the second ambush zone of the Spartan army.

"General, the enemy has already entered, hurry up and give the order to attack!"

Philo frowned at Duston and said, "Wait, it's just an ambush area where a company's troops entered, and there's a battalion of troops behind!" ”

Philobidas wanted to completely annihilate Yuan Shikai's troops, but he didn't want Yuan Shikai to be very cautious, and always let the recruit battalions behind him fight steadily, while first occupying the commanding heights on both sides, deploying heavy machine gun fire, and then advancing forward.

However, in order to paralyze the enemy, Yuan Shikai still let the veteran company go deep alone, intending to lure the enemy to make a move and lure the enemy out.

Philobidas and Yuan Shikai fought with wits and courage, but although Philobidas had a bit of military strategy, compared with Yuan Shikai, who graduated from the Imperial Chinese Army Military Academy and had excellent grades, he was still far behind in military strategy.

After waiting for a long time, Philobidas never saw the Chinese Imperial Army behind him pressing up, but the hundreds of Chinese Imperial Army in front of him caused huge casualties to the Spartan Army under the cover of ten chariots.

If this continues, once these hundreds of Chinese Imperial troops are allowed to approach the ambush area and attack wantonly, then the entire ambush plan will fail, and there will be greater passivity and casualties.

Philobidas still didn't hold his breath and finally gave the order to attack.

"Call me! Destroy these hundreds of enemy troops! ”

Philobidas could see that the combat effectiveness of these hundreds of Chinese Imperial troops was very strong, not like the rumored Chinese Imperial student soldiers, so he felt that he would kill these hundreds of people first, and win a small victory to improve his morale.

The Spartan ambush soldiers from all directions suddenly attacked, and in an instant, bullets rained down.

"Retreat!"

The veterans of the Chinese Imperial Army, who had long been mentally prepared, quickly looked for cover to protect themselves, and then alternately took cover, and quickly retreated with the fire of ten assault vehicles.

At the same time, Yuan Shikai also ordered the new battalion to retreat immediately.

After seeing this scene, Philobidas, who was on the top of the mountain, immediately gritted his steel teeth, and after a good ambush battle, the duck in his mouth flew away.

"The enemy is defeated! Charge! All charge! ”

After making this decision, what Philobidas didn't know was that he was already doomed.

After all, the Spartan army has not been trained for a long time, such an army has serious psychological problems, in the case of a big victory and smooth sailing, it will break out with strong combat effectiveness, but once it loses the battle, then the will to fight will collapse in an instant, and it will be defeated.

With Philobidas' order to charge, tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers launched a fierce attack.

However, Yuan Shikai had already prepared, so his soldiers quickly jumped into the truck and retreated.

These two-legged Spartan soldiers, to chase the car, is really difficult for them.

At first, Yuan Shikai saw that his soldiers were all in the truck and retreated, but he was worried that the truck was too fast and that the Spartan army would not catch up, so he deliberately slowed down the truck.

And those Spartan soldiers thought that they had won the battle, so their morale was high, plus they were tall and full of physical strength, especially the Greeks were good at long-distance running, and they really chased after the vehicles of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Yuan Shikai immediately breathed a sigh of relief and secretly scolded these Greeks for being muscular and brainless.

When he found that the Spartan army had entered the pocket of the counter-ambush he had prepared, Yuan Shikai finally smiled.

"Hit me, hit me hard, don't let go of an enemy!" (To be continued.) )
