"Going to try again anyway! Just try again! An officer with a bloody face stood in a hastily dug trench, brandishing his saber and shouting at his men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The attack just now, which had been suppressed by the opponent's firepower, could not raise his head, and thousands of cavalry fell on the battlefield, and now his originally loyal subordinates were unwilling to try to take a step forward no matter how angry he was. But he also knew that if he didn't drive his soldiers to attack, then what awaited him would definitely not be a good end.

In an attack, there were a full 2,000 fewer dead and wounded, and now the rebels of the Jin State who were surrounded near Xinbin in Liaodong had completely understood their situation, and now they had been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Empire in a palm-sized place, and breaking through had already become a luxury.

These days, they have not tried to break through in all directions, just now they also organized a fairly large-scale charge, but now they have tasted the bitterness of trench warfare, and finally understand how hard it was when the Ming Empire attacked the position of the Jin State.

The remnants of the troops besieging these Jin countries do not need the elite new army of the Ming Empire at all, and even some old troops can complete the task, and even these troops are too familiar with the tactics of positional warfare, but they are more suitable for this kind of hard-fought competition.

"Gather your troops! Tell them that if this attack is brought back, then we're all done! Must break through! Only by breaking through can you survive! The officer of the Kingdom of Jin carried a command knife in his hand and shouted hysterically at his men.

He received a death order from Todel Tay, asking him to open the way to continue his escape east as quickly as possible - this order had been given a few hours earlier, but after three breakthroughs in a row, the elite troops of the rebels still could not penetrate the defense line of the Ming Empire on the opposite side.

"Sir! The enemy's artillery is just too fierce! Our men can't get close to the enemy's position! The threat of machine guns to cavalry is too great, and if we can have some supporting artillery, there may still be a chance. One of his men grumbled with a sad face.

Of course, they don't have enough support artillery fire, and originally a lot of heavy artillery was deployed in Anshan and Liaoyang, but when these bulky weapons escape, it's impossible to bring them out, right? Including the Amaterasu cannons that Japan transported to Liaodong, all the large-caliber support artillery was discarded in Anshan and other places, and became the trophies of the Ming Empire.

Just various models of 150 and 200 caliber heavy artillery, the Ming Empire captured dozens of guns, and several Ming Empire troops that participated in the war made a lot of money, and the credit books are really recorded some "big guys".

These weapons captured by the Ming Empire can be described as varied, including German K1 howitzers, obsolete 7 howitzers produced in the UK, and Z3 in Ceylon...... Just looking at these artillery, it is almost a world small artillery expo, and these artillery also reflect the complexity of the situation in Liaodong from another side.

After discarding all these artillery, the rebels were able to run all the way to Xinbin, and it was precisely because they lost all the heavy artillery in their hands that they now had no way to take the improvised fortifications built by the Ming Empire army. Even if it was just a machine-gun position that could be solved by a random burst of artillery bombardment on a normal day, the rebels attacked it for half an hour with two companies of soldiers.

While storming the Ming Empire, they were also bombarded by the Ming Empire, although because of the rush to encircle these rebel troops, the army of the Ming Empire did not carry too much artillery, but they were able to get a steady stream of replenishment and strengthening.

The main force of the new army from Mukden to the south carried a lot of large-caliber artillery, although these artillery units did not travel fast, but many of them had already rushed to the front-line combat area, providing terrible artillery support for the troops of the Ming Empire.

These cannons were originally developed and developed to support positional operations, so their power is quite terrifying. The defensive positions on which the Jin troops now rely are not strong permanent fortifications, but hastily dug foxholes and unreinforced trenches. When the shells fell into these defensive positions, the unprotected Jin army immediately paid a heavy price.

The fire in Xinbin City continued all day long, and the shells falling from the suburbs rolled up the dust that covered the sky, and the troops of the Jin Kingdom were already frightened by the firepower of the Ming Empire before they turned into a counterattack state, and no army dared to brave the artillery fire of the Ming army and try to break through the defensive positions of the Ming army.

"Boom!" The generals of the Jin State here have not yet organized the attack force for the second breakthrough, and the overwhelming artillery bombardment of the Ming Empire on that side has spread again. One shell after another landed on the positions of the rebels of the Kingdom of Jin, helping the defenders of the Kingdom of Jin to continue to "expand" their foxholes and trenches. The craters began to fall one after the other, and the frequency of falling became more and more dense, and every few hours, new artillery would join the artillery queue and launch a more fierce attack on the Jin rebels.

With the fall of each shell, there will be the broken bodies of the Jin soldiers flying into the air, the encirclement is already very narrow, so that the Jin troops in the encirclement are too dense, the effect of the artillery is unexpectedly good, and the entire Xinbin City, there are unexpectedly many casualties.

"We don't have tanks that can withstand the enemy's heavy machine guns, so what's the difference between letting us charge at this time and letting us die?" An officer leaned into the trench, holding his steel helmet and grumbling loudly. He was surrounded by a group of ordinary soldiers who looked like frightened birds, and they were so disgraced that they stared at the falling shells in the distance.

The center of the positions of the two armies has long been covered with the corpses of the soldiers of the Jin State, and some of the soldiers who fanatically support the Jin State have long served the country they support with their lives. They died almost worthless, and apart from a few machine-gun positions and a few trenches, the Jin army did not achieve any meaningful results at all.

The rebels of the Jin State, who have exhausted their intrigues and tricks, are finally looking forward to a fair contest between the two sides at this moment. Now they realize how humiliating and desperate this unfair battle is. This is a completely one-sided war, and it has been doomed since the first battle under the city of Jinzhou. And no matter whether the top leaders of the Jin State are wise or wise, they are nothing more than delaying the outcome for a period of time -- the consequence is that the longer the delay, the more tragic the consequences will be.

About 70,000 Jin soldiers were encircled in a small encirclement, of which about 10,000 were the so-called elite of the true Jurchen Manchus, and the remaining 60,000 were more than 30,000 elite Han Chinese and Mongol cavalry under the command of Todeltai. These are all coffin books that have been painstakingly accumulated for many years, and now they are naturally lying in the coffin with the high-level of the Jin Kingdom.

If these troops are counted alone, there are as many as 7 divisions. It includes 4 cavalry divisions and troops directly under the Zhenghuang Banner and 3 main infantry equipped with a large number of war horses. At full strength, the encircled group army should have at least 110,000 troops.

But now this force has broken and fled, leaving only a pitiful 70,000 men, and most of the army is in fact seriously understaffed. Moreover, the most serious shortage is the overly cumbersome and cumbersome artillery unit. The three infantry divisions of Todeltay are relatively complete, and they all maintain about eighty percent of their combat effectiveness, which can be regarded as the absolute main force in the encirclement.

Now the troops are organizing to break through, that is, these cavalry units that are still capable of fighting. It's a pity that they are really not good at positional warfare, and they have no artillery support, so they can't tear through the simple Ming defense line.

Just ten minutes ago, among the three cavalry divisions, the most complete division launched a fierce attack on the Ming army's position, and after losing a whole regiment of cavalry, they retreated from the Ming army's position to the place where they started, and the Ming army lost almost a hundred people, temporarily lost a trench and then recaptured...... The losses of the two sides were simply disproportionate, so the Jin army could only continue to endure the artillery fire of the Ming Empire in their own trenches and think of other ways.

"It's not the way to go on like this! Gather the pro-soldiers and elites directly under the division headquarters! I personally led the troops to rush up! "The general of the Jin rebel army was also a brave general, and when he saw the situation before him, he made his own judgment, and he braved the artillery fire to personally supervise and gather the troops that had been slightly confused again.

"The Kingdom of Jin is in danger, and Your Majesty is waiting for the news that we have turned defeat into victory. How can we sit idly by? All the soldiers got on the bayonets and abandoned their horses on foot, and followed me to take the defensive positions of the Ming army! He waved the command knife in his hand, cheered for his soldiers loudly, and then without waiting for the Ming Empire's artillery fire to stop, he led the army to jump out of the trench full of holes.

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, who finally mustered up their courage, once again chose to believe in their superiors. They loaded their rifles with bayonets, then abandoned their horses, and cautiously followed their commanders out of the trenches, walking slowly towards the defensive positions of the Ming army.

The dense crowd of soldiers immediately became a wave between the positions of the two armies, and they rolled forward, shouting the slogan of long live the golden country. It's just that from time to time, cannonballs explode in the middle of the huge wave of people, turning the surrounding area into an open area. However, the crowd that came up from behind quickly filled the void and continued to roll forward. (To be continued.) )
