Chapter 343 It's not comfortable to go ashore
"Bang bang~~" On the river, five large warships, the muzzles of the guns spewed out tongues of fire again, although Huishi was very reluctant to waste the shells, but the empty ground in front of him made him feel a chill in the summer.
Lambert felt the same way when he had never faced such a stubborn adversary as the NLD in his decades of warfare, and he added that the NLD's use of terrain was unheard of.
In the morning, the mouth of the Yangtze River, dozens of miles of river surface took a whole day, until the sun set before the landing, the Democratic Alliance side of the army lost about 100 people, and on his own side, Chen Cun and pirates were counted, more than 8,000 people died, although the pirates and Chen Cun were not regarded by him, but the casualties were frightening.
At the end of May, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were already very hot, and the highest temperature was generally between 30 and 35 degrees, while the temperature in the cabin of the warship could reach more than 40 degrees Celsius and the hottest boiler room could reach more than 50 degrees Celsius.
Wang Feng has never been superstitious about qualifications, it is true that qualifications can gradually accumulate experience, but how many famous generals in history have risen to the top by boiling qualifications? Such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Yue Fei and other ethnic groups, who is not young and shines?
He always believes that there are differences between people, both in terms of talent and intelligence, this is a talent, not an acquired can be made up, and it is by no means a sentence that everyone is born equal can be ignored, as long as they know people and make good use of them, young people can also take the lead, this is the fundamental reason why he boldly used Sheng Xuanhuai, who was only thirteen years old, and the Democratic Alliance Army is also a fairly young army under this dominant ideology, generally old, and the role is conservative. Wang Feng has been used to engage in logistics, and front-line operations need enthusiastic and energetic young people.
Unlike the NLD army, which rarely has officers over the age of thirty. In the Western military, high-ranking officers like Whirsh and Lambert have worked their way up through decades of military career. The age is generally in the forties to fifties, and this stage is a stage when people's physical energy declines significantly.
Huish felt a tendon in his head beating constantly, and every beating brought unbearable pain, and he longed for a hot bath, and then a cup of coffee in the river breeze to relieve his headache, so both for himself and for the sake of the soldiers. He could only use the ship's guns and turn the ground over.
In the rumbling artillery fire, the dwarf trees were broken, the turf and dirt burst out, and the Indian soldiers continued to move forward, full of might, Wang Feng immediately shouted: "Order, the whole army fires guns, see off the brothers!" ”
"Yes!" The order was conveyed quickly.
"Bang bang bang ~~" Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire in the array. Everyone fired their guns diagonally upwards to express their sorrow, although the guns were not as loud as the cannons. But tens of thousands of guns were put together, and the sound of the cannons was covered in an instant!
Sheng Xuanhuai squeezed his fist fiercely and said fiercely: "Wang Feng, I learned a lot from those four fighters, especially the spirit of sacrifice, you always say that the Chinese lack the spirit of nationalism, but I see the national righteousness in them, we will definitely win this battle, they will not die in vain." Their sacrifice will educate the people, and their spirit will inspire us to fight the British to the end! ”
Wang Feng patted Sheng Xuanhuai with encouragement. He turned his head and said, "As far as I can find out the names of the four sacrificed soldiers, I will confer on them the title of Chinese martyrs." In addition, Deputy Commander Hong is requested to prepare for the construction of the Yasukuni Martyrs' Palace, and all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and gave their lives for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people will always be enshrined in it, accept worship, and become the guardian saint of our nation! ”
To be fair, Japan's Yasukuni Shrine is actually a good thing, which can greatly unite the national spirit, and China should also build a Yasukuni Palace to enshrine the spirit tablets of fallen soldiers, and the official organization of representatives from all walks of life to pay regular sacrifices, and his role is far from being comparable to a monument, but in contemporary China, because Japan has taken the lead and the Yasukuni Shrine has been labeled as militarism, it is impossible to build a Yasukuni Palace in a reasonable way, but in this era, Wang Feng can let it go.
"Yes!" A warrior hurried back.
Wang Feng waved his hand again: "It's going to be dark, the British shouldn't attack at night, but the British are tired, tonight we will serve him a potted choi, give the order, after twelve o'clock, each position will fire guns and artillery in turn, feign attack, Lu Dayou, the specific operation is up to you, not only to ensure that the brothers can take turns to rest, but also to effectively harass the British!" ”
"Yes!" Lu Dayou saluted
In fact, the British army did not bring camps or other burdens, the weather was hot, and they could sleep anywhere they lay on the ground, and if it rained, they all returned to the ship, and after eating, they went down to the river in batches to bathe, except for leaving some men on guard, and everyone who returned to the shore slept upside down.
In a short time, there was a lot of snoring on the battlefield, and Huish slept in the boat, because the migraine would affect his sleep, he tossed and turned for a long time before he could barely fall asleep, and just as he was in a daze, all of a sudden, the sound of cannon fire woke him up at once.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Huishi ran out of the cabin, and when he looked around, he saw the fire flashing on the position of the Democratic Alliance, and the sound of golden drums, and by the flames of the artillery, he could barely see a group of men and horses moving.
Lambert also ran out of the other cabin with a belt on his belt, and said urgently: "Mr. Huish, the Democratic Alliance is likely to attack at night, hurry up and prepare the soldiers for battle!" ”
"This," Huish hesitated, "his artillery can't hit that far, what does he use to cover the soldiers?" How dare he take the initiative to attack? With his ability, relying on positional defense is the most correct choice. ”
Lambert thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You are right, the purpose of the Democratic Alliance is likely to harass us and interfere with the rest of the soldiers, but there is a famous saying in the Chinese art of war, called the virtual is real, the real is virtual, I think it makes a lot of sense, if we don't take it seriously and don't make arrangements, maybe the Democratic Alliance will really attack, don't forget, this is a strong army, we must consider any possibility." ”
"Hmm~~" Hui Shi thought about it too, and muttered: "The whole army has entered the third level of alert, but we must ensure that the soldiers take turns to rest!" ”
In the Western military system, the alert is divided into five levels, from the bottom to the top, and then raised, the fifth level is the state of general readiness, that is, the state of alert of important departments such as military camps in peacetime, the fourth level is higher than the normal readiness state, which requires increased intelligence detection and strengthened security measures, the third level is to do a good job in responding to emergencies, the second level is to be ready for battle within 15 minutes, and the first level is that the army will be ready for battle at any time.
In the modern Western military, the state of alert and measures have changed significantly with technological progress and a hundred years ago, but it is still a five-level alert, and the third level is already very strict, and the US military has entered the third level of alert three times after World War II, one is the Cuban Missile Crisis, one is the Yom Kippur War, and one is 911, of which during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US Strategic Air Command and the Strategic Air Command entered the second level of alert, which shows that there is a real danger of nuclear war at that time.
"Yes!" A herald hurried off the warship.
Although Huishi ordered to ensure the rest of some soldiers, but similar to the lack of strategic depth of the Democratic Alliance Army, the British Army also lacked the depth of position, and his defensive line could not be further arranged, and it was necessary to enter the range of the artillery fire of the Democratic Alliance Army before the war. In the eyes of the British, it could not be used as artillery.
This five-mile gap must be set aside, and the distance from Baoshan Wharf to Baoshan City is very close, tens of thousands of British troops can only be compressed within a mile less than a mile from the wharf, at night, the sound of cannons spread unusually far, the artillery fired by the Democratic Alliance Army, are Hongyi cannons, Hongyi cannons are characterized by a large charge, and the sound is unusually loud, just like thunder, the distance of one mile for the loss of thunder is almost negligible.
Having seen the ferocity of the Democratic Alliance forces during the day, everyone thought that the battle from tomorrow would be extremely difficult and tragic, and that as long as they went into battle, everyone would have the possibility of dying in battle, which would inevitably bring some pressure.
In the position, some people took out the letters and photos of their wives and children from their bosoms and looked at them over and over again, some people picked up paper and pencils, not knowing what they were writing, and some people looked at the moon in a foreign land in the sky, smoking cheap paper cigarettes one by one, and some people were praying to their gods, and the position was full of unbearable pre-war tension.
In fact, when the real war comes, many people can adjust their state back, and before the war is the most painful gain and loss, in this case, even if you can fall asleep, the quality of sleep is enough, and then you are harassed by the rumbling cannons and shouts of killing, how can you sleep?
"What do you think you should do, Mr. Huish?" Unable to sleep and distraught by harassment, Whish went down to the ground, and the state of the warriors frightened him, and Lambert, who was with him, also asked worriedly.
Huishi looked at the opposite side, on the position of the Democratic Alliance, in addition to the scattered fire from the muzzle of the cannon, there were shouts from far and near, and even there were sounds from the flanks, and then it was pitch black, and it was easy to make some random guesses, such as whether there would be a large army covering up and killing.
"What the hell!" Huishi only felt that the migraine that had just been relieved had a tendency to spread and amplify again, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Order, open artillery to bombard the positions of the Democratic Alliance forces, I want to see how long they can make trouble!" ”
"Yes!" One of the soldiers turned and ran towards the battleship. (To be continued)
