Chapter 178: The First Battle of Hunan (Part II)
Li Zhongju was very satisfied with the 28-millimeter caliber mortar newly produced by the battleship system, and Li Zhongju believed that the mortar could make great achievements this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Zhongju looked at Zhou Tiezhu, "Tiezhu, you independent Ade brothers prepare, this time you must take Qizhou City as quickly as possible, and this king will personally command this siege battle." ”
Zhou Tiezhu patted his chest and said loudly, "Please rest assured, the independent brigade obeys the commander's command and will not disappoint the commander." ”
Then Li Zhongju ordered the independent brigade to transport 300 28 mm caliber mortars to the front, and at the same time Li Zhongju stood in the center of the mortar, so that it was convenient to command, and at the same time, all soldiers could accurately hear their own orders, so that their command level could be improved a lot, and at the same time, the combat level of the soldiers would also be improved.
As the saying goes, it will be the courage of a soldier, and a good general can cast an incomparably powerful army. The soldiers of the Independent Brigade under the command of Zhou Tiezhu are such a group of crazy people, as long as it is an order from their superiors, they will carry it out meticulously.
Li Zhongju saw that all the mortars were ready, Li Zhongju waved the command flag in his hand, and the troops saw it, of course, they knew what the commander meant, and immediately they began to quickly reload, and then they covered their ears with their hands.
Hundreds of shells flew like meteors above the city walls, boom! The earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the audience, and the timid soldiers of the Qing Army had been so frightened by this powerful explosion that they were at a loss for a while. More Qing soldiers, because they were far away, they were not harmed, but they all looked at Lord Zhizhou in shock, not knowing what Lord Zhizhou's plans were.
Song Mingren and Huang Feihong and other senior generals, looking at the amazing destructive power of the three hundred mortars, were also extremely shocked in their hearts, and at the same time very excited, since the independent brigade has been equipped with this kind of mortar, then their own army will also be equipped with this kind of mortar. It's just a pity that in this war, it is not possible to use it.
At the same time, Song Naruto and a few people believed that Li Zhongju wanted to take Qizhou City within an hour, but of course, this must be won to count.
Li Zhongju watched quietly, his heart had begun to run at a high speed, he used the battleship system to calculate the defensive strength in the city, as well as the mentality and fighting spirit of the soldiers in the city, he knew it well.
Seeing this, Li Zhongju was completely sure that he could take this Qizhou City within an hour, after all, the morale of the Qing soldiers in the city was too low, and it was estimated that if it weren't for the fact that Zhizhou and a few generals had some skills, I am afraid that there would have been a lot of deserters in the Qing soldiers at this time.
After the six rounds of mortar fire were completed, Li Zhongju immediately ordered the infantry to start pressing forward, and at the same time the infantry advanced forward with rifles, they would be the last reminder of the Qing soldiers.
The infantry of the Independent Brigade, under the command of Li Zhongju, quickly advanced towards the city wall, and five or six of them carried a ladder. That's right, it's a ladder, because above the city wall, it has been bombarded by Li Zhongju with mortars, at this time, the Qing soldiers can't effectively organize the soldiers of the independent brigade to go to the city, and the weapons in the hands of the Zhenwu army are not ornaments, as long as the Qing soldiers dare to stop it head-on, then they will definitely pay the price of blood.
At this time, the Qing soldiers and their commanders, and even Lord Zhizhou, were already at a loss and aimless, and they were even more dumbfounded. All the soldiers looked at Lord Zhizhou.
Qizhou Zhizhou immediately came back to his senses, he was the lord of a city, if he didn't have the confidence to fight, then how could the soldiers have the confidence to fight, how could they have the courage to take up arms and fight against the other party's elite army.
Qizhou Zhizhou snorted coldly and roared loudly, "Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, the enemy army is about to enter the city, we can still watch it, everyone has taken up arms and climbed the city wall to fight the enemy to the end." ”
"Yes." All the soldiers obeyed the military order, they rushed towards the city wall, they must block the offensive of the Zhenwu army, otherwise, once the city of Qizhou was broken by the Zhenwu army, then they, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, would not become a big joke.
The governor of Qizhou ordered the only ten cannons in the city to bombard the crowd of the Zhenwu army outside the city. The idea of Qizhou Zhizhou is actually very simple, that is, to use the power of artillery to inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy.
However, compared with the advanced 28 mm caliber mortars of the Zhenwu Army, only ten old artillery pieces are just a small thing, and they will not play much role at all, and they can only be a kind of self-deception.
Li Zhongju watched that there were already soldiers from the independent brigade on the city wall, and Li Zhongju understood that as long as there was a soldier from the Zhenwu Army who climbed the city wall, then the rest of the matter would definitely seem very simple.
Sure enough, as Li Zhongju expected, under the extremely surprised eyes of Song Ming, Huang Feihong and others, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade of the Zhenwu Army climbed the city wall of Qizhou one after another, and they had already announced that victory was in sight.
......Bang bang
The sound of bullets never stopped, this sound was the sound of death for the Qing army, but for the soldiers of the Zhenwu army, it was a beautiful melody, the sound of their victory.
Seeing that there were already five or six Zhenwu soldiers climbing the city wall, the governor of Qizhou immediately ordered the troops to start shooting, but the Zhenwu soldiers were already prepared. The conversation immediately rolled and fled from the original position, and then the soldiers below successively threw up some items that could be used to block the view, which was called a "protective card" by Zhenwu Jun Shibin.
Five or six people put their protective cards in front of them and began to fight back, and then the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army poured out of various ladders, and they immediately joined the battle. Because the rifles of the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army can shoot five bullets at the same time, and the power of the bullets is much stronger than that of the enemy, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army is not comparable to that of the Qing army, whether it is the rate of fire or the damage of the bullets.
In less than three minutes, the independent brigade has three or four hundred people climbing the city wall, and these soldiers are fighting bravely under the command of a battalion commander, and at the same time, the role of grenades is fully realized at this time, dozens of grenades are thrown up, and the Qing army is not in the mood to fight at all, and they have begun to retreat, because they know that the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
The governor of Qizhou roared loudly, "It's all up to the official." ”
But the soldiers ignored him, and when several pro-soldiers saw that the situation was not right, they immediately ignored the practice of the governor of Qizhou and immediately forcibly pulled him away. (To be continued.) )
