Chapter 346: The Meat Grinder

"Oh~~" Yang Shuijiao thought about it, her pretty face was slightly red, and she said: "You're right, the strengths of the British army are obvious, we shouldn't know his strengths and make up for their shortcomings, I didn't take it into account." ”

Wang Feng gave a rare smile to the past: "If you don't understand, you have to ask more, ponder more, the fire of war is the greatest baptism for a warrior, I believe that through this battle, our warriors will learn a lot of things, will grow up quickly, and countless combat heroes will emerge!" ”

After speaking, Wang Feng raised his volume, looked at the soldiers around him, and said: "In fact, the British took the initiative to attack, which is not a bad thing for us, although our soldiers are young and enthusiastic, and have momentum, but the time they have been in the army is too short, and they lack the tempering of tough battles, and they will inevitably lack experience and experience, and the British have already formed a set of effective tactical tactics after hundreds of years of war, we can take the enemy as a teacher, learn from their advantages, and sooner or later we will have to talk with the best in the futurewww.uuxs.cc|The British are at war in an all-out way, and today he took the initiative to send it to the door and gave us the opportunity to learn about it, and I hope that each of you can grasp it. ”

A brigade commander couldn't help but say: "Commander-in-chief, the British army may be very strong, but you look at the Indians, cowering, basically there is no courage to move forward, obviously shocked by our army, and the spirit is not very good, a wilted look, if it is not for the artillery support of the British army, their combat effectiveness should be very weak, what can we learn from them?" ”

Wang Feng waved his hand and said: "You don't understand this, no matter how weak the Indians are, but his tactics and tactics are all from the British army, think about it, an enemy who lacks hard work and is skilled in skills and tactics is not the best teacher on the battlefield?"

We have strong fortifications as our support, and we have the strong support of tens of millions of people in Susong Taichang. The British army again had the Indians as the main force, which was already invincible, but. You should also not have the idea of underestimating the enemy, the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. It is difficult for Indians to guarantee that there will be no time for desperate efforts, not to mention that there are a considerable number of Baibailin among Indians, Baibailin is very fierce, they are all fanatical believers, for the sake of faith can not hesitate to give up their lives and die with the enemy, you must pay enough attention! ”

"Yes!" The warriors saluted!

Wang Feng just nodded with satisfaction, but Sheng Xuanhuai reminded: "Wang Feng, don't we also have artillery?" Why don't you use it? You see, the Indians are all within artillery range. Pick a place with a lot of people to fight, and you will definitely be able to kill him by hundreds or thousands! ”

Wang Feng asked around: "Let's talk about it, why don't we use artillery if we have it?" ”

"This" Everyone knew that Wang Feng was testing himself, and couldn't help scratching his head, and after a while, a regiment commander said cautiously: "Commander-in-chief, I think there will definitely be someone on the British warship who is observing us, as long as we open fire, they will find out, and then hit the artillery fire to bombard our artillery." They have sixty or seventy guns, and we have only twelve, and the counter-bombardment is certainly no match. So there is only a temporary snow hiding. ”

"Huh?" Wang Feng's eyes lit up and asked: "I remember that your name is Li Changshun, and the cannons are currently in your regiment, you tell me, it's not always a matter if you don't need artillery, if you want to use it, how should you use it?" ”

Obviously, his answer was recognized by Wang Feng, Li Changshun was greatly encouraged and racked his brains to think about it. Cai said: "No matter how concentrated our firepower is, it is not as good as the British army, so it is better to simply disperse it." If a fortification is captured by the Indians, use the bunker to launch a surprise strike. But once the cannon is fired, the fire from the muzzle will inevitably reveal the position, so the limit is three cannons, and the three cannons must be transferred after firing! ”

"Good!" Wang Feng shouted loudly, this has begun to take the prototype of modern self-propelled artillery tactical thinking, the advantage of automatic artillery is that it moves quickly, taking the famous export self-propelled howitzer plz45 of the People's Liberation Army as an example, the basic tactical guiding ideology is to finish a shot, immediately transfer, change the position and then fight, in order to prevent being positioned by the enemy, although the current cannon and plz45 have a generation gap of more than ten generations, but there is a flash of advanced tactical thinking, instead of solidifying the artillery in positional warfare, isn't this a good thing?

Although the current artillery is relatively cumbersome, the development direction of artillery has always been self-propelled, rapid-fire and guided, with the progress of technology, this tactical thinking will become more and more important!

Wang Feng set his eyes on Li Changshun, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Li Changshun, I appoint you as the commander of the Independent Artillery Brigade of the Democratic Alliance Army, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, and uses your regiment as the foundation to form a special artillery combat unit. With that, he took out a token from his pocket and handed it over.

"Yes!" Li Changshun's excited voice trembled a little, gave a military salute, took the token with both hands, and left quickly with a few soldiers.

The temporary mobilization was very morale-boosting, and for a while, the news that Li Changshun's regiment had been upgraded to an independent brigade spread far and wide, and the soldiers were all gearing up in order to make a meritorious service!

The British artillery fire was still pouring out mercilessly, some places were wiped out by the shells, and columns of smoke rose into the air, the scene was spectacular, but Lambert frowned and asked: "Mr. Huish, why is the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army delayed?" Was it destroyed by our artillery fire? ”

"This" Lambert's guess was too optimistic, how could it be so coincidental that he hit the opponent's artillery position at once? Although Huish did not dare to hold out such great hopes, his artillery thinking was still in the stage of positional warfare, so it was difficult to understand.

After thinking about it, Huishi ordered: "Pay attention to the search for the artillery of the Democratic Alliance, and once you find it, strike immediately!" ”

"Yes, General!" On the high bridge, five people held binoculars to observe the positions of the Democratic Alliance forces, and their task was to find out the artillery of the Democratic Alliance forces, calculate the general direction, and then give guided fire to the artillery in front.

In fact, it is easy to distinguish between the fire fired and the fire that was hit, but the forward of the Indian soldiers had already stepped into the trench at the very front, and the NLD forces not only did not open fire, but also did not even make a decent counterattack.

Wu Jianzhang guessed: "Shorthair should be self-aware of his invincibility and quit Baoshan, right?" ”

Huishi and Lambert immediately thought that it was impossible, how could an army that dared to explode grenades and die with the enemy retreat without a fight, and besides, southern Jiangsu was flat and had no geographical advantage, so they couldn't think of a reason not to use the ready-made positions.

"Not good!" Lambert suddenly shouted: "I understand, the Democratic Alliance forces are going to rely on the city to fight street battles, yes, yes, it must be." ”

Huishi is clear at a glance, his face is instantly gloomy, street fighting has a very vivid title, that is, meat grinder, the enemy and us are staggered, artillery will be useless, and the city is full of ruins, can be used as a support, street fighting requires a strong will and a cold state of mind, because you don't know which direction the bullet will come from, psychologically a little fragile, it is not impossible for the spirit to collapse.

Huishi had a trace of misfortune in his heart, but at this point in the battle, he was powerless to reverse it, so he could only play with the Democratic Alliance army.

"Hell!" Huish cursed fiercely, and said, "Order, suspend the shelling!" ”

After a few moments, the naval guns and the cannons in the forward positions stopped one after another, and the Indian soldiers entered the city in batches.

Sure enough, the sound of gunfire came from time to time, which indicated that the meat grinder was officially activated, and the Indian soldiers were obviously not suitable for street fighting, Baoshan was a strange city to them, and they were invaders, and there was no belief in defending the country.

The first thing Indian soldiers who entered the city felt was that bullets were being fired from all directions, forcing them to hide in the rubble and watch their surroundings vigilantly.

There is patience in the street fighting, some people can't bear it, just poke their heads out, they are shot in the head by bullets flying from nowhere, and some people walk a short distance with their waists, and suddenly there is a boom, and a grenade blooms beside them.

A British commander at the scene shouted: "This can't be done, they all take out their grenades and throw them over there, yes!" Throw it behind the pile of ruins, and then rush over and occupy it as fast as you can, don't try to capture the prisoners, it is impossible for the Democratic Alliance to be captured, all living people will be killed, don't give them time to pull out grenades! ”

The grenades of the British army are oval-shaped, and compared with the wooden-handled grenades used by the Democratic Alliance, they are lightweight, small in size, and carry more in number, which can be used for anti-tank combat, but the throwing distance is relatively close, and when it encounters slope terrain, it is possible to roll back and blow up itself.

It can be said that these two kinds of grenades represent two combat styles, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and Wang Feng, as a member of the People's Liberation Army in his previous life, was used to using wooden-handled grenades, so he did not promote grenades in the army.

Nearly 100 grenades exploded in a swarm, and suddenly more than a dozen screams sounded, which was obviously blowing up the Democratic Alliance Army, and the Indian soldiers were all very excited, boarding the ruins and cheering for victory, but the excitement had not passed, it was "Bang Bang ~~" Two explosions, two shells hit directly, and nearly 100 people were killed by a pot!

Wang Feng asked Li Changshun to command the artillery, and he divided the twelve canons into six teams, one team of two guns, which were specially used to strike at the enemy's dense places.

The fire of the muzzle of the cannon was discovered by the British army at the moment of flashing, and the coordinates were reported at the moment, and it was transmitted to the front of the formation layer by layer, and fifty land cannons opened fire together, and the fire rumbled, and all the guns in the range, whether it was Indian soldiers or the Democratic Alliance troops, were all blown to pieces, but from discovery to transmission, and then from aiming to firing the artillery, it took about three to four minutes to prepare, and with this time, the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army could be completely transferred to a safe place.
