249: Revolt from Jingzhou

It has been a full week since the award ceremony, and the award has not affected the morale of the troops, but has aroused the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although during the capture of Jingmen, the defenders there still fled as fast as they could.

This made the soldiers who wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions a little depressed, but their confidence was not hit.

The enemy's surrender without a fight made the soldiers of the 32nd Division more and more courageous, even if they could not get the Iron Cross medal, which symbolized their military exploits, could not get ten days of vacation, and could not get the bonus of four taels of silver?

If they are fast enough, it would not be bad to add another medallion symbolizing Hubei to their chest shortly after bringing this medallion with them.

Jingzhou, with its extremely important geographical location, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Jingzhou can be said to be the second region in China after Henan in terms of historical civilization, although the two are not at the same level, but the historical significance is very important.

Here, the Chu culture was born, and during the Warring States Period, the Chu State was the capital here for more than 400 years.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also a place where heroes competed for deer, and the rich land within its territory made other princes feel pity.

In terms of geographical location, Jingzhou is located in the south-central part of Hubei, the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain, the Yangtze River runs through Jingzhou from west to east, Wuhan in the east, Yichang in the west, Changde in Hunan in the south, and Jingmen and Xiangyang in the north.

It can be said that as long as this place is occupied, then the Han army can march west or east along the river.

As long as this place is occupied, the Han army can then sweep through the southern part of China, and from then on, there is no longer any moat that can stop the Han army's footsteps.

Of course, as history advances, the times develop.

The planning of the Pinghan Railway, the southern end of the railway is located in Hankou, Wuhan, and the geographical location is slightly more remote than Wuhan, so today's Jingzhou has long lost its former prosperity, and its geographical superiority has also been surpassed by Wuhan.

However, as the darling of history, the people in Jingzhou seem to have inherited the character of the Chu people.

When the prefect of Jingzhou heard that tens of thousands of Han troops were rushing towards Jingzhou, they had already packed up their soft bags, took their families with them, and fled with money under the protection of hundreds of personal soldiers.

Although Jingzhou plays a relatively important role in history, it is not very important in today's era.

Therefore, Ma Sanru did not send anyone to keep an eye on the Jingzhou prefect's family.

However, the Jingzhou prefect ran simply, but the people of Jingzhou who stayed behind did not do it. Especially those soldiers who defended the city, they also knew that once the Han army occupied Jingzhou, then their good days would be over.

But if you resist, you don't have weapons and equipment in your hands, and the prefects have run away, what's the use of leaving them behind?

However, no matter what time it is, there will always be some people who are not afraid of death.

And the people above did run away, because they are not natives of Jingzhou, they have earned enough money, and they have enjoyed the blessings, and now let them face danger? Is this possible?

When they arrived in Jingzhou, the 32nd Division still used the same old tactics.

In the face of Jingzhou, which was closed at the city gate, the 32nd Division sent a squad of soldiers to shout, but unexpectedly, there were defenders on the city wall who replied.

I don't know if I think I have the ability to defeat the Han army or what? The other party even threatened to defend it.

Therefore, Li Chongyi, the commander of the 32nd Division, waved his hand and directly sent a regiment of troops to besiege Jingzhou, and the rest of the troops bypassed Jingzhou and went upstream and downstream to look for boats to cross the river, leaving only one regiment in the rear as a reserve.

When Tian Li attacked Jingzhou with the troops, dozens of figures suddenly appeared on the city wall, and these defenders had a bow and arrow, and they shot indiscriminately at a distance of dozens of paces.

Clearly, the defenders were not regular troops and were poorly trained. The aim of the arrow is as bad as it gets, and even worse, it doesn't even cross the moat.

The defenders on the city wall can be said to be full of foreign appearances, but they also give a wake-up call to the soldiers of the 32nd Division under the city.

This is not the city they have encountered before, here, they will have the opportunity to get the battle exploits they have been thinking about day and night.

Of course, no one wants to die here.

After the Battle of Shanxi and the occupation of several Hubei cities, although the 32nd Division has not experienced any decent battles, the momentum of the entire army is undergoing a transformation.

At first, even when they encountered such a situation, they were a little worried.

But now, everyone seems to have suddenly discovered that in this case, they don't seem to be worried at all, and even, looking at the bow and arrow that fell in front of them, they can calmly despise the defenders on the city wall.

Tian Li stopped about seventy or eighty meters from the city wall, quickly lay down on the ground, pushed a bullet into the chamber of the gun, and at three points and one line, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at a battlement where a figure had just appeared.

Jingzhou is indeed an important place, which can be seen from its cities. Compared to other cities, the walls of Jingzhou are higher.

According to his intuition, Tian Li felt that this place was at least two meters higher than the Jingmen city wall, and the layout of some defensive facilities was more reasonable.

Of course, this is modern warfare, and the ladders needed to attack cities in the past are not needed at all now. Because the soldiers didn't have to attack the walls at all.

All they had to do was blow open the gates, then rush in and kill all the enemies there.

Machine guns, can be a good cover for their attack, so that the defenders on the city wall do not dare to easily rise, mortars, can be those places where the enemy is dense to bombardment accurately, this kind of firepower, in ancient times, is unique.

'Smack......'

Tian Li gently pulled the trigger in his hand, and a 6.5 mm bullet, like a wild horse with the reins unleashed, slammed headlong into the head of the enemy soldier behind the battlement without warning.

At this distance, it is closer than the distance they have been trained to shoot, and the enemy's figure is also larger than the target used in training.

In addition, Tian Li is already a veteran who has killed six enemies, and he has summed up his own set of experience on how to kill the enemy.

And based on previous experience, Tanato pulled the trigger as usual.

Sure enough, the defender soldier, who had just exposed half of his body and was about to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot an arrow, had just exposed his whole body when the bullet followed.

Before the enemy could even react, he felt a sudden pain in his head, as if the back of his head had been hit by something, and then he lost consciousness.

The bow and arrow in his hand also lost control, as if in free fall, and gently smashed into the body of the defender soldier.

The defenders on the city wall were like a rabble, and the way of defending the city was unruly, and they did not pay attention to any strategy and tactics, that is, they shot arrows through the battlements to prevent the enemy from approaching the city wall.

And such old tactics will certainly be vulnerable in the face of the new era and the new army.

In addition, they already had an absolute advantage in numbers, so although there were defenders in Jingzhou City, the soldiers of the 32nd Division felt that this battle was very easy.

The intensity of the battle was not even as fierce as the previous suppression of bandits in Shanxi.

A few more gunshots rang out, and two ropes hanging from the drawbridge snapped, the work of the sharpshooters in the troops.

There is a moat outside Jingzhou City, want to swim across the moat? Don't think about it.

There is not only water in the moat, but there are many giant thorns buried underneath the water, and once someone jumps into the moat, the chance of trying to come up alive is definitely not more than one percent.

If the moat was really that simple, why did the ancients fill it with sandbags? Instead of just swimming over and climbing the drawbridge to cut the rope?

Whether the soldiers have undergone rigorous training and whether the methods of training are effective are fully demonstrated at this moment.

The 321st Regiment responsible for the attack, although it was more than it was small, although the only place that could cross the moat was the drawbridge at the city gate.

But more than 3,000 men surrounded the four gates, an average of one battalion in front of each gate.

If you look at it from above, you will find that the more than 3,000 people who attacked did not panic at all, and the soldiers were strict in their duties, each doing their own thing, and there was more and more tacit understanding between each other, and there were basically few mistakes or anything.

Less than ten seconds after the drawbridge fell, a squad of soldiers rushed to the city gate with explosives packs, and once they reached it, the enemy's arrows could not threaten them.

And the defenders on the city wall didn't even know where the Han army below had gone, and they didn't have the opportunity to probe to observe the enemy's situation.

In fact, if you think about it, the order to defend was originally issued by a few Jingzhou locals, and not many people even responded to them, with an average of less than 100 people participating in the defense of each city gate.

The attacking Han army was six times as large as theirs, and they had clear responsibilities, but anyone who dared to take the lead would immediately attract a burst of shooting, and even if they were lucky enough not to be hit by bullets, the arrows in their hands had no chance to shoot out.

Looking at the dozens of motionless corpses lying there on the city wall, almost a fifth of them were shot in the head, and even directly shot through the neck.

And what about them? Until now, it seems that not a single arrow has hit the enemy.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were also a little frightened, and many people could only squat behind the battlements, huddled together, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

It's not that they don't have the courage to resist, and if they really don't have the courage, they won't come to the walls to fight.

It was because of the strength of the Han army that they had no confidence left.

What happens when a person learns that your efforts will not lead to anything, but will cost you your life?

'......Boom'

A violent explosion suddenly came, and the city gate collapsed, leaving countless craters on the city walls. If it weren't for the less powerful explosives bag of the Han army at this time, I am afraid that this city gate tower, which has existed for an unknown number of years, would have dissipated from history at this moment.
