After being tortured by the artillery fire of the Ming army for a whole day and night, most of the defenders of the Jin Kingdom were now very numb, some of them were brushing their teeth and washing their faces in the deep trenches, and some of them were gathered together to discuss breakfast for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA few people stretched, yawned and changed the guard, and handed over the task of monitoring the other side to the comrades who came to hand over.

"These bastards of the Ming army, don't you want money for shells? It's been a night of bombardment, and I don't rest and rest......" Walking out of the machine gun position, the two soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who had been guarding for most of the night rubbed their shoulders and complained to the two friendly soldiers who came to change the guard: "I haven't slept well all night, and the fog on the river is still very big, which is really unaccustomed." ”

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" The two Jin soldiers who changed the guard looked at the somewhat unnatural smoke wafting on the river under the faint sky, frowned and asked, "You didn't shoot twice at the other bank?" ”

"There was no movement, so we didn't open fire at will......," the other party replied, stunned for a moment, and then added: "We can't hear any sound from this shelling all night." ”

"Forget it! Let's talk about it later, you two will help us bring it after 1 hour of breakfast, I heard that there are eggs today...... The food for the first level of combat readiness is really good, much better than usual. The soldier who took over didn't say much, casually instructed about breakfast, and got into this reinforced concrete machine-gun bunker reinforced with an iron roof.

"Cannonballs! Lie down! In the distance, a soldier loudly reminded the surrounding comrades to pay attention to concealment, and everyone subconsciously squatted down with the steel helmet on top of their heads, and a large-caliber artillery shell was in the middle of the position not far away, and the dust was carried by the shock wave and rampage in the trench, engulfing all the soldiers who were huddled on the ground as they passed by.

The dirt that had been blown into the sky by the explosion began to crackle and fall, clanging against the helmets and weapons. The ears of the nearby soldiers were all buzzing, and nothing else could be heard. The ability of the shells to destroy the trenches was limited, and one after another, the soldiers of the Jin Army stood up and shook off the dust on their bodies, and everyone smiled and laughed at each other in a friendly manner, of course, there were also a few unlucky guys, who could be hit by shrapnel and let out screams of various tones.

"I can't hear you say anything! It is estimated that the ringing of the ears will not be good until the afternoon! Two soldiers who had just been discussing breakfast got up from their lying position, one of them loudly complained to the other that the shell had broken his ear.

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier on the other side reached out and pressed his body down to stand up straight. Because just behind the shouting soldier, a machine-gun emplacement began to shoot tongues of fire, and began to pour its own ammunition in the direction of the river.

Although the buzzing in his ears prevented him from hearing the sound of machine gun fire, there was only one plausible explanation for the sight in front of him: the Ming troops had begun to attack. The two of them finally figured out what was going on around them, and the soldiers on the position began to fire into the distance with the weapons in their hands, and the muzzles of the machine guns on the machine gun positions also shone brightly, shooting wildly.

"The Ming army has attacked! The Ming army is crossing the river! Everyone on the position was shouting hysterically, accompanied by the sound of the Ming army's higher and higher shelling. Bullets also flew from the opposite side, hitting the sandbags and low walls of the position, splashing white smoke.

In the reinforced concrete-reinforced machine-gun firing hole, where the aiming "crosshair" was aimed, a Ming ferryboat rushed out of the smoke. The Ming Army's Weiyuan machine gun mounted on it was also spitting out tongues of fire frantically, and tracer bullets drew a straight line and hit various bunkers and obstacles, making a popping sound.

It didn't take long for the artillery shells of the Jin rebels to also begin to fall on the nearby river, and a huge column of water spread out, splashing the clothes of the Ming soldiers on the boats. Soon a boat larger than the other ferries rushed to the shore, and the ship had no intention of slowing down, so it ran aground on the river bank according to the method of scrapping.

The huge impact force made the Ming soldiers on the ship stagger, and many people lay down in the boat because of inertia. Many bullets pierced the hull of the Ming army boat, knocking the Ming soldiers inside to the ground. After all, the ship has no armor structure and no bulletproof design.

The staggering Ming soldiers quickly realized that the surrounding hull did not provide them with an effective defense, so the soldiers began to panic and jump out of the cabin in their own way. Some of the soldiers had just flipped out of the hull when they were hit by the bullets that flew and fell back into the hull, while others tumbled out of the hull and began to crawl forward in a hail of bullets in search of shelter.

The sheer hull of the ship did not make for a smoother river crossing, and the Ming soldiers paid a large number of casualties in the first few minutes of the firefight. Fortunately, the width of the Liao River itself has shrunk, and the beach suppressed by intensive fire has not long increased the number of Ming soldiers who have landed on the shore.

However, because more than a dozen large ships relied on the engine to propulse, rushed directly to the river beach, and relied on the height advantage to condescendingly suppress several nearby machine gun positions of the Jin rebels with the machine gun at the bow, so the battle of the Ming army to open up the bridgehead to cross the river was smoother than the previous time in Liuhe.

The tall hulls on both wings also somewhat shielded some of the bullets that came in, and under the cover of these large ships, the losses of the Ming army on the small boat in the center were significantly reduced. These Ming troops soon landed on the east bank and began to launch a fierce attack on the positions of the Jin army in the distance.

"Fire! Fire! On the Jin army's position, a commander waved his arm to let the soldiers around him continue to shoot, while watching as more and more Ming soldiers rushed out of the smoke with their boats propped up. The dense Ming army seemed endless, and more and more people fell on the riverbank.

……

In Tieling City, Ye Hehaolan just wanted to eat his hearty breakfast, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately stood up from his seat: "The Ming army is intensively shelling us, it can't be just a feint...... They must have some ulterior motives for working so hard all night! ”

Thinking of this, Yehhao Lan hurriedly stretched out his arm and commanded in a loud voice: "Hurry! Let the reserves go for reinforcements! Strengthen the garrison at the front! ”

While his shouts were still echoing in the air, an officer rushed in with a crying voice, and the officer shouted to his master, Yehhoran: "Ming army! The Ming army began to cross the river! (To be continued.) )
