Chapter 17: Yan Zhao Duokang's Tragic Song (4)

"Okay, looking at your expression, I'm just joking," Lin Mengchu smiled and touched the young man's head in turn.

"Hmph, a man's head can't be touched casually!" Although Chen Cheng said this, there was a very happy expression on his face. Probably this is the so-called saying no, but the body is very honest.

After a while, Lin Mengchu walked to the sand table, picked up the baton, and said:

"Well, after the coalition forces have thrown their armies into siege battles and street battles, we cut off their rear routes. Dispatch all your troops and completely destroy the railway line. Then crush the enemies in front of you, bring them here, and destroy them! The girl put a little on the sand table.

"Why is it here again?" Chen Cheng supported his head with his hands, "Is there anything special about this place in Langfang?" ”

"Well, because it's a strategic point."

"Strategic points? On the Hebei Plain, there are many such places that extend in all directions, except for the railway passing through here, I don't see that here and there are strategic points. ”

"Wordy, I just said yes!"

"I think it's good to just surround them around here, there's no need to run that far."

"Hmph, I'll take care of it."

"Hmm, then do you want Cao Futian to go out with the rest of the ministries? With such a long railway line, the enemy's road convoy cannot be fortified everywhere, and there is no problem in cutting the railway line. Regardless of casualties, it is no problem to defeat the enemy in front of you. If you want to destroy the enemy army in front of you, this is a little difficult. ”

"Of course it will be difficult," Lin Mengchu said, "Otherwise, why would we endure it until now?" Isn't it because the strength is not enough? ”

"What about the rest of the world? The Russian army outside the customs doesn't care? After this battle, we will at least lose more than half of our casualties, right? Victory is a morale booster, but our reserve system is not enough to fill such a large shortfall in a short period of time. ”

"Hmph, if we don't fight, when the Russian army outside the gate presses over, we won't even be qualified for a war."

"So our strategy is going to be completely revised?"

"It's all your business, I'm just going to fight!" The girl said, "Didn't we say it a long time ago?" I'll do the rest for you. ”

"Since you say so," Chen Cheng pondered for a while before he said, "If you can destroy the enemy in front of you in one battle, you will also be able to do a lot." ”

"Huh?"

"If we can continue to watch the local powers at home, and if we do it well, we can become allies of the British in the Far East to contain Russian expansion in the Far East." Chen Cheng said, although he felt that such a situation was a bit taken for granted.

"You're talking about the best-case scenario, but what about the worst-case scenario?"

"The worst-case scenario, of course, is that the attack fails, and we are killed."

"Phew, Bah, Bah, we're going to win! Besides, where in this world do we have the opportunity to exterminate people? We're all there is! ”

"That's right," Chen Cheng laughed, "Then you can go to war well, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Well, I'm sure you'll be able to deal with things other than war. Please believe me," Lin Mengchu jumped on the table and said confidently: "Because I am a strong man known as the Black Dragon King!" ”

"In the first place, did you claim to be good?"

After the heavy artillery of the coalition army was transported to the city of Beijing, the confrontation between the soldiers of the two sides in the trenches finally ended. Although there have been many skirmishes before, the casualties in each case have been several hundred at most. Although the battle was fierce and brutal, for the people in the city and the officials who were still holding on, it was just a firecracker.

And from the very beginning of this attack, it showed extraordinary momentum. The roar of the heavy artillery was incomparable to the previous petty fights. Every time a cannonball lands, it can have the effect of shaking the ground. When the cannonballs fly through the air, they also emit a whistling sound similar to that of a train rushing towards you, which is terrifying.

Later, as soon as this sound sounded, the hearts of people inside and outside the city tightened, and then they silently prayed in their hearts that the cannonball would not fall on their heads.

"This kind of power," Lin Mengchu smashed his mouth in the anti-artillery hole buried deep in the ground, and said, "It's really big!" ”

"Of course, after all, it's a heavy gun removed from a battleship." Chen Cheng flicked the dust off the girl's head and said, "Fortunately, we put all our troops in the trenches behind, otherwise if we take a shot, it is estimated that we will finish the battle of a platoon's troops." ”

"I said, how long are they going to shoot cannons?"

"It shouldn't be too long, the artillery shell transportation industry is not very easy, and now Cao Futian and they should already be harassing the railway line again. It is estimated that after another half a day, there will be no stock on the other side. ”

"That's what you said yesterday", Lin Mengchu said in disbelief: "This kind of situation where you can't fight back just by being beaten will hurt your morale." ”

"But there is no way to do it, unless we abandon our position altogether, drag the other side into a street fight, or simply rely on our mobility to fight a short and sudden field battle with the other side. In that case, the opponent's heavy artillery advantage will not be so great. ”

"Forget it, let's follow the previous strategy, those Manchurians should also come in handy. Otherwise, we'll have to clean them up. The girl spat out the dirt from her mouth, "I hate the way I hide in a hole like this!" ”

"Hey, what's the matter you don't hate?" Chen Cheng chuckled, and then listened attentively, "It seems that the heavy artillery on the opposite side has stopped firing." ”

"Really, you just guessed randomly? All at once, it hit! ”

"No, it's just a judgment based on common sense. Well, now is not the time to talk about this, the artillery is finished, and it is estimated that the infantry will rush up. Let's get out! ”

"Why can't it be that the foreigners pretend to be done and trick us out?"

"Well, that's a problem, but we have an observation post outside. In such a large-scale battle, small tricks do not play a big role. It's a contest between two systems, and I think our side has a bigger chance of winning. ”

"I don't need to say this, I know it!"
