In the lens of a standard scissor cannon, a huge column of smoke is rising into the air in the distant city, and the shock wave of the explosion is even clearly visible, and the vibration is transmitted along the ground beneath his feet into the distance, except for the sound in his ears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then after an instantaneous interval, Sima Mingwei's ears sounded the loud sound of the 200 mm caliber heavy artillery shell falling to the ground and exploding in the distance, even from such a long distance, he could still feel the power and deafening.

"Boom!" A cannonball fell on the refusing to surrender in the city of Changchun, and the explosion shattered the ancient city wall into a pile of rubble. However, the bombardment of the Ming Empire still did not stop, but became more and more intense as time went by.

"Suppressing the rebels, if the process is too fast, the deterrent effect is minimized. People will not have a painful experience in their hearts, and they will not have any impressive memories of the disasters brought about by the rebellion. Sima Mingwei took his eyes off the artillery mirror, and spoke to his adjutant and several generals of the New 2nd Army in the front headquarters.

He had very rich experience in anti-guerrilla operations in the jungles and mountains in the south, and because he was accustomed to the revenge actions of the guerrillas to slaughter villages and even cities, Sima Mingwei had a very ruthless means of dealing with the enemy. There is an old Chinese saying that Ci does not command soldiers, and Sima Mingwei is a good example, he can be kind to his soldiers, but he is always as ruthless to the enemy as a cold winter.

"Yehehaozhe looks a little more backbone than his father and that Yehehaoran, and it's a good thing that he has the backbone to make our actions here go according to the original plan." A staff officer picked up Sima Mingwei's words with a smile, as if the troops in front were not destroying a city at all.

The cannonballs fired from the cannons flew over a long distance and once again landed in the city that had been unrecognizable, the huge explosion lifted some of the rubble on the buildings, the sound of the walls collapsing one after another, and the Changchun Siege was full of blood and cruelty from the moment it began.

Unlike the Ming Empire's frantic advance in Liaodong, where the autumn wind swept away the leaves, under the city of Changchun, Sima Mingwei suddenly stopped the troops' plan to quickly enter the city and end the war. Then 100,000 Ming troops surrounded the ancient and slightly backward city and began a long and fierce artillery bombardment of the city.

Compared with the lightness of the rapid advance of the armored troops, the army of the Ming Empire seemed to have returned to their original state at this moment, and the feeling of being crushing and heavy was vividly displayed by Sima Mingwei when attacking Changchun.

I heard that there were only about 2,000 troops in the city that could fight. However, the Ming Empire still did not mean to occupy this place immediately. After all, this is not the mineral-prosperous Anshan Liaoyang Benxi, just an inconspicuous city with a few small factories. If it weren't for the fact that it was the so-called capital of the rebels, Sima Mingwei wouldn't even be able to think of stopping here and fighting a war of destruction.

"The shelling will continue until early tomorrow morning, and at dawn all the soldiers will be bayoneted and the first tentative attack on the target will be launched...... If there is resistance, stop, mark the position of resistance and continue the shelling...... Until the entire city could hear the guns of the rebels. After Sima Mingwei gave the battle order, he buckled up the steel helmet to protect safety and walked out of the underground bunker that had just been dug up.

He just hung the epaulette of the imperial general issued by the Ministry of War of the Ming Empire on his shoulder, and the specifications and grades of the guards have also been improved by a large block, and the rank of general that he did not get in the southern jungle hills, he only took less than half a year in Liaodong to pinch it in the palm of his hand.

Sometimes he really thinks that Liaodong is his blessed land, and his fate has changed dramatically after coming here. At present, the New Army units in his hands have hundreds of tanks, and their combat effectiveness has improved much compared with the so-called southern elite under his original command.

Wang Jue...... Your Majesty...... The Ming Empire produced such two demonic young people at the same time, is it a blessing or a curse? When Sima Mingwei walked out of the bunker, he glanced at the bright sunlight in the distance, narrowed his eyes and muttered in his heart, and then got into his car.

Recently, his troops have been supplemented with a lot of new equipment, because he, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Theater, has direct jurisdiction over the two units of the New 1st Group Army and the New 2nd Group Army, so the New 2nd Group Army he brought up with him has received more supplies than before.

Wang Jue left Liaodong, and the New 1st Group Army was no longer the most valued New Army unit was one reason, and the other reason was that the front-line war had entered the final stage, and the battlefield intensity did not need to concentrate too much on supplies to the New 1st Group Army. Therefore, the New 2nd Army has received a full 150 tanks and assault guns of various types, as well as 500 cars of various models and other equipment in the past few days.

For the New 2nd Army, which used to only use cars to train tank crew members, and was so excited when they got a dozen tanks, a full 150 tanks meant that they could really form an armored division, although it was not yet formed, and there was still a certain gap between it and several main armored divisions of the New 1st Group Army, but this was much better than their previous situation.

If Wang Jue is here...... Will he order the continued shelling of the enemy's so-called capital in order to deter the civilians? No...... Wang Jue wouldn't do that...... He will definitely say that this is the land of the Ming Empire, and the people here are also the people of the Ming Empire...... In Sima Mingwei's mind, at the moment he got into the car, such an idea suddenly popped up.

So he hurriedly rolled down the window of the car that had already started, and ordered the adjutant who was guarding his door: "Let the troops attack in an hour, and don't wait until tomorrow morning...... The intensity of the shelling has also been reduced, and we seem to have done enough killings. ”

With that, his car drove away with the lead car, leaving a group of officers looking at each other. They didn't know why Sima Mingwei suddenly changed his mind, but the orders of his boss still had to be carried out.

So they launched an attack in advance, and Changchun, the city that the rebels thought was the capital, set up the royal flag of the Ming Empire in the evening of the same day. (To be continued.) )
