Li Zhilong also knew that as long as he blew a gap in the city wall, there would be no problem at all in breaking through the city wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, with the cover of the heavy artillery regiment, this attack is actually to pick up cheap.

Looking at the two subordinates who were arguing in front of him and had no intention of compromising at all, Li Zhilong was also embarrassed.

Chief of Staff Yuan Lei proposed at this time: "Senior Division, don't fight, no matter what, thousands of Beiyang Army were wiped out by your 11th Division, and I think this main attack will be given to the 10th Division first!" ”

Gao Jun immediately retorted: "The battle to destroy the Beiyang Army can't be counted, we surrendered before we even started attacking them." Not only did he not catch the battle, but he also ran dozens of kilometers more than the 10th Division. If nothing else, just because we have run dozens of kilometers more, the task of the main attack should also be given to us, and we must not let the 11th Division always suffer losses and not take advantage, this is unreasonable. ”

Chief of Staff Yuan Lei also showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then said with a wry smile: "Commander, I can't help it, who will fight the main attack, or you will decide who will attack the main attack." ”

Li Zhilong had always had a hesitant expression, but after listening to the words of the chief of staff, a pair of eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights, and then ordered: "The Tenth Division will attack the main attack, break through the city walls, and enter the city!" ”

Seeing that Gao Jun subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, Li Zhilong didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to order: "Gao Jun, your eleventh division also has a mission!" After the 10th Division entered, it immediately divided and eliminated the forbidden army in the city, especially the forbidden army on the city wall, as long as it did not surrender, it would be completely wiped out. As for your eleventh division, after entering the city, you will directly kill the palace, and I will give you the task of attacking the palace. ”

Gao Jun's face was directly happy. But Li Zhilong didn't make him happy for too long and continued to order.

"But don't be too happy. The marshal said that when taking the capital, the palace should be protected from destruction as much as possible. Therefore, when you attack the palace, in addition to mortars and mountain artillery, field artillery and heavy artillery cannot be used, and you must also control the casualties. ”

If he can enter the palace and capture the little emperor, it will definitely be a great feat, and any credit for the main attack and breaking through the city wall will have to stand aside.

Therefore, Gao Jun didn't wait for Li Zhilong to finish speaking, and then promised: "Please rest assured, the commander will ensure that the task will be completed!" ”

And Xiao Bing, who was standing next to Gao Jun, only had envy at this time.

In the face of the decision that Li Zhilong has already made, there is nothing he can do to make him change.

After the consumption of the Beiyang Army, except for the more than 100 mortars left in the forbidden army in the city, not a single mountain artillery was gone.

Therefore, when Liu Sen commanded the heavy artillery regiment to set up artillery, he was not at all worried about the preemptive strike of the forbidden army.

Of course, even if the Beiyang Army still had mountain artillery, it would not be able to hit Liu Sen's heavy artillery regiment.

The firing range of each artillery gun of the heavy artillery regiment is more than double that of the mountain artillery, and in order to avoid possible accidents, Liu Sen took into account the counterattack of the forbidden army when choosing the artillery position.

More than 30 heavy guns, all of which were outside the range of the mountain artillery.

Despite the fact that these heavy guns were far away from the city wall, and with the help of telescopes, the condescending Zaitao still found the busy artillery position for the first time.

Because of the lack of mountain artillery, the artillery commander under Zaitao has become the commander of the light pole, and he follows Zaitao as a staff officer.

Looking at the heavy artillery regiment a few kilometers away, when Zaitao's face was solemn, his face had turned pale.

I was stunned for a minute before I reacted from the shock, and then said to Zaitao with a look of despair.

"Lord Wang, it's heavy artillery, and all the Wehrmacht is arranging are heavy artillery with a caliber of more than a hundred millimeters. As long as they hit the gap, the gap we just reinforced couldn't hold out for even five minutes! ”

Zaitao frowned, and before he could speak, a town commander was shocked and asked, "Then what should I do." We know that the Wehrmacht must know that they will attack desperately towards the breach. Lord, we must find a way, otherwise we will not be able to stop even an attack by the Wehrmacht. ”

Zaitao also realized the seriousness of the matter, and asked with a calm face: "How many troops do we still have that can be used!" ”

"In addition to the 3,000 Praetorian Guards who protect the palace, there are more than 11,000 people, including more than 5,000 Praetorian Guards and more than 5,000 Praetorian Guards." A staff officer replied immediately.

"In addition, the forbidden army yamen is mobilizing all the important ministers and relatives of the emperor and the guards in the city to report to the yamen, and now he has gathered more than 6,000 people, all of whom are distributed with weapons and ammunition, and can go to the city wall to defend the city at any time."

Zaitao, who quickly calculated the strength at hand, immediately analyzed: "What you just said is right, the gap must be the key offensive direction of the National Defense Force. Here, a very bitter battle will definitely break out. ”

"In this case, then the Wehrmacht in other directions will definitely feint, and the battle will not be too fierce. Immediately, all the guards gathered by the yamen were sent to the other city gates, and half of the forbidden army and personal guards were assembled behind the gap. ”

The staff officer who had just spoken immediately replied: "Lord Wang, in this case, we can draw at least 5,000 main forces to the gap." ”

Zaitao shook his head and replied: "The main force of 5,000 is not enough, all the Jiading Nursing Homes that the forbidden army yamen will gather next will be sent here, and as many as they will be sent." The Wehrmacht has the advantage of artillery fire, and if we want to hold the gap, we can only fill it with human lives. ”

In less than an hour, a piercing scream of breaking the sky sounded over the battlefield.

Then, a violent explosion sounded more than two hundred meters outside the gap.

A fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose from the ground, indicating that the Wehrmacht offensive had begun.

Less than two minutes after the test firing ended, Liu Sen's heavy artillery regiment began to roar.

More than thirty shells with a screeching sound all smashed into the gap and exploded around it.

In the blink of an eye, the gap that reached a length of thirty meters was enveloped in gunsmoke. But the shelling of the heavy artillery regiment had just begun, and there was no intention of stopping.

The heavy artillery regiment opened fire, and other artillery brought by the Fourth Army also opened fire on the city.

Although the forbidden army rushed down to the city to avoid the shells at the first time, many people were still hit by the shells.

The violent and dense explosions overhead terrified every forbidden soldier hiding at the foot of the city walls, and then prayed that the shelling would end soon.

But it backfired, in order to take Gyeonggi and overthrow the imperial court, several units of the Wehrmacht brought a large amount of ammunition supplies. In terms of shell replenishment, in addition to heavy artillery shells, other shells can be said to be open in supply.

In addition, Xiao Bing of the 10th Division made a guarantee in front of Li Zhilong and broke through the city wall in one attack.

In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Bing directly asked Li Zhilong for twenty minutes of artillery preparation, and all the artillery officers obeyed his command during the entire artillery coverage period.

At this time, although the gap was shrouded in gunsmoke and nothing could be seen, Xiao Bing still held a telescope and stared at the explosion and kept notching.

Three minutes later, the breach was still covered in smoke and the sound of explosions continued.

But if you listen carefully, you can clearly hear that behind the violent explosion, a dull collapse sound is sounding in the gap. (To be continued.) )
