Chapter 482: Showdown with Damos
Ali Jean is worthy of being the general of the Confederate government, and he is also worthy of thinking that he is a veteran of the battlefield, he knows better than anyone the truth of the speed of soldiers, he is not like Sturridge, this is a thoughtful general, for this attack on Richmond, he has done a lot of meticulous work, he has already known that Richmond is stationed in the Oriental General Guo Ye, who has repeatedly defeated Tsarist Russia, the Oriental General of the Anglo-French Army, after coming to Richmond, he has also won many battles, and the Southern Army has lost his armor and cannot raise his head.
This time, the two of them are finally going to have a head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield, Ali makes his heart excited at the same time, but also a little nervous, for such a powerful celebrity, a little careless, that is the end of the ruined reputation, have to be careful!
It took Alijan four and a half days to capture Fort Krysri, and the Fifth Army was defeated, and the entire Fifth Army completely collapsed, without any formation, and together with the commander of the Fifth Army, Stones, was killed by stray bullets in the chaos!
Having routed the Fifth Army, Alijean stayed at Fort Kerry for only a day before he began to mobilize his army and crush Richmond!
More than 100 miles from Fort Krisrie to Richmond, Ali Jean marched at full speed, and in just two days, he arrived not far outside the city of Richmond! Ali took Richmond by surprise and let this Eastern general be completely defeated by his own men!
Thirty miles away, Gao Qi led the second and third brigades, and it took only one night to reach the Damos mound.
This is a hilly area with a radius of more than five miles, according to Guo Ye's deployment, it is to block Ali Rang here, after Gao Qi arrived, he immediately ordered the soldiers to start building fortifications, not simple modern fortifications, but Professor Guo Ye's tunnel fortifications and trench fortifications, this time, in order to be able to defeat Ali Rang, Guo Ye also took out the ability to watch the house, not only to defeat the opponent, but also to ensure that his sixth army can not be seriously injured, this battle is not ordinary difficult to fight, after all, in terms of overall combat power, The strength of one of the armies under Ali is not weaker than the Sixth Army in the slightest, and even in terms of individual combat strength, it is above the Sixth Army!
Now all Guo Ye can rely on is powerful fortifications, minimize his casualties, delay the speed of Ali Rang's attack, as long as he delays here for three or five days, he will completely drag Ali Rang to the point of exhaustion, and take the opportunity to launch a strong counterattack!
From morning to dusk, Gao Qi commanded 3,000 people to dig fortifications in turn, and a huge modern fortification appeared in front of everyone, a series of tunnels, which could make the officers and men of the Sixth Army calmly move in the tunnels, and at the same time be able to use the fortifications to avoid the fierce artillery bombardment of the Southern Army artillery in the future!
Such fortifications have completely surpassed this era, and have never appeared in Western military affairs, not to mention the United States, even in Europe, which has the most advanced military theory!
Looking at the fortifications he was on, Gao Qi was full of confidence, such a powerful offensive, he could definitely rely on the strength of two brigades to withstand the attack of the other two divisions for five or six days, or even longer, such a tactic, how did the eldest brother come up with it, it was really incredible!
Just when Gao Qi's fortifications were about to be completed, the second division led by Wang Haonan also arrived at the battlefield and began to build new fortifications on the west side of Gao Qi.
Ali Rang didn't let Gao Qi and Wang Haonan wait, and on the morning of the next day, Ali Rang led three divisions of troops to Damos Mound!
As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Ali gave an order and took the lead in launching a fierce offensive against Gao Qi's position with his artillery!
The only thing Guo Ye guessed wrong was Ali Rang's artillery, Ali Rang's subordinates not only had three artillery battalions, but were equipped with up to five battalions of artillery, and there were eighty or ninety artillery pieces alone!
The artillery of the Southern Army was lined up, and from the back of the Southern Army to the position of the Federal Army, a stormy artillery bombardment was launched, and one after another shells fell towards the positions of Gao Qi and Wang Haonan, blowing up the sand and gravel on the ground in all directions, and the fireworks soared into the sky, and the entire position fell into the attack of the Southern Army!
Although Gao Qi has a hot temper, he is very sensitive when it comes to fighting, although the artillery of the Southern Army is fierce, but it has a strong offensive that can be relied on, and it cannot threaten the life of the Federal Army at all, Gao Qi is naturally not in a hurry to counterattack, and all the artillery pieces are not used, but he just ordered to wait quietly for the attack of the Southern Army soldiers.
After nearly two hours of shelling, the Yugoslav army fired at least five or six thousand shells, blowing up the soil on the position into a charred black color, and the grass was still like before?
Ali Jean felt that the shelling was almost over, and it was time to attack.
"Order, the Twentieth Brigade and the Twenty-first Brigade are all dispatched to charge the positions of the Federation Army and take the opponent's positions in one fell swoop!"
Alirang shouted calmly.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Southern Army began to press up towards Gao Qi's position, like a frenzy, wave after wave, and the gunfire wanted to burst beans!
Seeing that the soldiers of the Southern Army had entered the range of their rifles, Gao Qi shouted: "Order, shoot, give these Southern troops a head-on blow!" ”
On top of the fortifications, rifles were exposed, and after two hours of shelling, the casualties of the soldiers in the fortifications were only dozens, and most of them did not scratch their fur!
Liaoyuan No. 1 rifle began to launch a rapid offensive towards the soldiers of the Southern Army, a large number of bullets rushed to the face, in front of the position, groups of Southern soldiers were advancing, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, enveloping at least a thousand infantry of the Southern Army!
One bullet after another pierced the body of the Southern soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the Southern soldiers at the forefront of the charge fell one by one, and in the dense gun attack, the Southern soldiers were suppressed by the dense bullets more than 200 meters away, and they could not get close to the position of the federal army at all, and they fell to the ground one after another, dodging the oncoming bullets!
This is the moment you have been waiting for!
Gao Qi knew that it was time for him to fight back!
"Order the artillery battalion to the front of the position and bombard them for me!"
The artillery behind the position began to quickly fill the shells, launched a round of fierce shelling, one after another shells rushed towards the front of the position, and at that moment, all the space at the front of the position was enveloped, and the southern army lying on the ground was sent into the sky by a violent explosion before it could react, and the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere!
The soldiers of the two brigades were stunned, in our attack just now, the opponent's artillery could not sound a word, Lao Tzu thought they did not have artillery! Run, run immediately, that fool will stay where he is and wait to be bombed?
