Chapter Forty-Three: Mortars Are Crazy Too
Although the charge of the army is very dull, first in the distance lined up in formation, and then rushed over, it looks like a generous to the righteousness, but in fact it is not like this, the army set up the formation just to avoid the time when the charge is opened, their own formation is opened by the enemy, in fact, the army charge is still more careful to protect themselves.
Every soldier has received at least one year of professional military training, and in the general environment of militarism, even children know some of the most basic tactics.
But the current army is still not the heyday, Su Dao seems to remember that the heyday of the army should be about 40 years, after all, at that time, the army in China has experienced a lot of baptism of war, and the quality of individual soldiers has already become much stronger than in 37 years.
However, Rao is so, the current appearance of the soldiers of the Reading Brigade charging up is really a headache for the soldiers of the Reading Brigade, the Army has not experienced too many battles, and the Reading Brigade is the same, the only advantage may be that the veterans of the Reading Brigade have gone through one or two battles before, and seem to have adapted to the life of the battlefield than those recruits.
"The surname is Su, this girl asks you, can you keep this Zhabei?" Zhou Ziting stood tall with her arrogant twin peaks, with a pale face, and asked Su Dao with a strange and cute look.
"Those who don't keep it must keep it." Su Dao replied angrily, and secretly said in his heart, can't this little girl stop for a while? Didn't you see Lao Tzu commanding the battle, what kind of trouble are you here to make at this time?
"That is, it may not be able to hold on? Can you tell me what will happen if Shanghai is lost? Zhou Ziting didn't laugh this time, but asked Su Dao very seriously.
"What do you want?" Su Dao asked curiously, could it be that this little girl was blown up by the artillery fire of the Yue Army? Do you know how to care about national affairs?
"I don't want to do anything, hurry up and answer this girl's question." Zhou Ziting asked anxiously.
seemed to see Zhou Ziting's worry, Su Dao didn't have the heart to tease her, and now that the army had entered the range of one thousand meters, it was about to enter the range, Su Dao didn't have the heart to talk to this rich lady about any military affairs, it was completely to play the piano to the cow. However, if you want to talk about life and ideals, Su Dao can consider thinking about it after repelling the Yue army.
"In this battle, the navy of the Republic of China was lost, the air force was lost by half, and 80 percent of the elite army units in the country were here, and the loss of Shanghai was not the most serious, if these 80 percent of the elite army troops were lost here, then the Republic of China would have no power to resist in the short term, and then the army could occupy all parts of the Republic of China without any worries, and the north and south could completely cut off the coastal supply lines in the northeast and south of the Republic of China, and directly attack Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, to the west. The richest Jiangnan region of our Republic of China will be included in the ruling area, and then our Republic of China will fall into a situation of national resistance. Su Dao said a few words simply, but did not say a few key points, anyway, Zhou Ziting didn't understand this, and said it to her in vain.
"That means we have to win in Shanghai, not lose, right?" Zhou Ziting said in surprise. Although Su Dao has skimmed out several key points, Zhou Ziting still sees Shanghai's important surname for Huaxia.
What is the war fought? It can even be said most bluntly that the most important thing in fighting a war is not the army, but money, as long as there is money, you can engage in a steady stream of equipment, and then arm batches of troops, only when you have money, everything is possible. Once the rich Jiangnan region of Huaxia is controlled by Yue, Huaxia will completely lose a large part of its funds, and the war will become more and more bitter in the future.
"Theoretically, that's it." Su Dao nodded helplessly, could he tell Zhou Ziting that Shanghai would be lost, and that he would create a massacre of 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanjing?
"Brigade seat, the devil is getting closer and closer, can you let the artillerymen start?" Seeing that Su Dao and Zhou Ziting were chatting happily, he had no intention of letting the artillery open fire, and he was afraid that when the army got closer after dragging on like this, the white phosphorus bomb would lose its due effect, Wu Zhongguo asked softly.
"That's it." Su Dao replied embarrassedly, damn it, the combat deployment has been arranged a long time ago, could it be that when will Lao Tzu personally give the order?
In fact, Su Dao misunderstood the officers below, but when they held white phosphorus bombs in their hands, they had a feeling of resistance from the bottom of their hearts, and many artillerymen were holding white phosphorus bombs back and forth in circles, but they didn't dare to easily stuff the shells into the barrels.
When the first white phosphorus bomb exploded in the air, Xu Sansi closed his eyes tightly, he was a soldier of the old third battalion, and now he is a platoon commander, he has been in the army for half a year, and his rank has changed from a lowest-ranking soldier to a second lieutenant officer.
Having seen the scene of the white phosphorus bomb twice, Xu Sansi felt that his heart was about to collapse, he had never seen such a tragic weapon, although the opposite side was an enemy, but he didn't want to use this method to win, he wanted to defeat the enemy through his own efforts, even if he was seriously injured and lost his life.
The white phosphorus bombs exploded in the air one after another, and bursts of white fireworks were emitted above the heads of the Yue Jun, and the Yue Jun who was charging couldn't help but look up at the air temptingly, and at the same time sighed in his heart that it was so beautiful, as beautiful as the cherry blossoms in his hometown.
But soon, the soldiers of the Yue army knew that this beauty was with sharp thorns, and its beauty completely covered its original surname, so that the soldiers could not see the horror hidden under its beautiful appearance.
Seeing that a comrade-in-arms beside him was ignited by a white phosphorus bomb, he fell to the ground in pain and wailed, and the remaining soldiers who were not stained with white phosphorus bombs accelerated their pace, hoping that they could rush out of the white fireworks as soon as possible. However, they did not expect that the white phosphorus bombs, each with an explosion range of more than 200 meters, had already blocked all their roads.
No matter where you go, you can't escape the fate of being ignited. The mortars fired white phosphorus shells into the air one after another, and since the commander did not agree to their request, they hit them fiercely, and they ran out of shells as soon as possible, so that they would not need to use this devilish shell in the next battle.
The mortars really thought so, they ran out of shells, and Su Dao couldn't get new white phosphorus shells in time, so they didn't have to bear this invisible pressure next, and someone had to suffer anyway, and it didn't matter if they were once or twice, so they all let the people in front of them bear it.
"Damn, what is Xu Qiang doing? Hurry up and ask him to stop firing, Lao Tzu's shells don't need money, there is no standing army in front of the position, and give it to Lao Tzu, damn, tell Xu Qiang, when there are no shells in the battle below, Lao Tzu stuffed him into a mortar and used it as a shell. Su Dao stood at a viewing point, holding a telescope in his hand to look at the situation ahead, and hurriedly ordered the communication soldiers below.
