The Americans did not make the expeditionary officers and men of the defending side wait too long, and as soon as the encirclement in the shape of a zigzag was completed, they only rested for half a day, that is, at eight o'clock in the evening of the next day, and launched an attack at the same time, which was a veritable night attack.

Li Yongji was also a little surprised that the Americans were able to play the trick of attacking at the same time for the first time, knowing that the tactic of attacking at multiple points at the same time seems simple, but in fact it is not simple, especially the US military, which does not have a radio communication system, and it is even more difficult to play a simultaneous and multi-point attack.

You must know that in the absence of radio communication, all tactics can only be arranged in advance, and once they are scattered, the commander will no longer be able to command the troops below in detail, and can only wait for the results to come out.

Therefore, a tactic like attacking at multiple points at the same time can only be a strategy of attacking in advance, and then using guò to match the table, and everyone pinching the time to play simultaneous attack, as long as one side makes a mistake and cannot attack on time, this tactic will not be successful.

Not long after the U.S. troops came over, they launched an attack, and as soon as they attacked, they played multiple attacks at the same time, which made Li Yongji a little surprised, because this was not a small-scale army, it was an army of hundreds of thousands!

The so-called 10,000 people are boundless, and it is not easy to make 10,000 people obedient without making mistakes, let alone hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, it is really not easy to let hundreds of thousands of people at the same time play this tactic of attacking at multiple points at the same time in such a short period of time, which shows that the grassroots officers of this unit are quite effective and their ability to execute tactics is quite strong, and the side shows that the combat effectiveness of this unit is strong, which can be regarded as beyond Li Yongji's expectations.

Compared with the tactic of multi-point attack, it is the night attack tactic, Li Yongji is not surprised, or it is still in his expectation.

Because the advantage of one's own firepower is obvious, after all, it is all modern equipment, even if it is not the advanced goods of the 21st century. It was also the benchmark weapon of the 80s. On the contrary, the equipment of the US army is still at the level of the sixties of the nineteenth century, there are no machine guns, and the muskets are still mainly loaded with smoothbore guns, as for the artillery, the firing range is short, the loading is slow, and the number is not much, in terms of threat, it is not as good as the front-loading smoothbore gun with a bayonet.

In a word. Compared with the expeditionary force, the US army is in a state of overall disadvantage in terms of firepower, and the best way to fight in this situation is to attack at night.

In the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, if the side with inferior firepower wants to fight with the side with superior firepower, the best way is to fight in close combat and night combat.

Lee Yong-gil is a person who has crossed over from modern society. I know this tactic very well, after all, when the volunteers fought the Americans in North Korea, they did not play a little night raids, and now the situation is just the other way around.

So. He felt that if the Americans really wanted to fight with themselves, if they were not stupid, they would definitely carry out night attacks, and only in this way could they avoid their own firepower superiority.

Now that I understand my shortcomings. Li Yongji naturally would not ignore this, and in fact, at the beginning of its establishment, the expeditionary force attached great importance to night combat training. In particular, the night defensive battle is a top priority.

At the beginning, Li Yongji wanted to equip the troops with a large number of night vision devices, just like the US military in the 21 st century, but after asking the price, he quickly dismissed this plan, because it was not an ordinary money-burning device, and it was completely uneconomical.

Later, after some discussion with Zhang Xinda, especially after Zhang Xinda consulted professionals, he finally decided to implement the policy of high and low matching.

The so-called high allocation means that a batch of night vision devices is still purchased, but not everyone has it, but each company is equipped with a low-light night vision device, which is used as basic guiding reconnaissance equipment, and each battalion is equipped with an infrared night vision device, and the regiment headquarters is equipped with a high-power infrared thermal imaging camera, plus a portable radio system, thus forming a multi-level networked reconnaissance system.

As for the low configuration, that is, Li Yongji purchased a large number of searchlights, as well as flares and launchers. The searchlights range from high-powered 2,000-watt xenon searchlights to small flashlights for single use, and with diesel power generation equipment, it is perfectly fine to brighten up the 400-meter radius around the camp.

In addition to searchlights, there were flares, both portable flare guns and large flare fired from mortars, both ordinary tracer flares and umbrella flares.

In addition, in order to improve the night hit rate for ordinary soldiers, their guns were specially provided with tracer rounds for night use, so that soldiers could shoot at night to improve accuracy and avoid accidental injury.

In the course of the actual exercise, it is often the camp that is brightly lit and outside the range of the lights is set up to set up a reconnaissance sentry equipped with night vision equipment; once the reconnaissance personnel discover a suspicious enemy situation through the night vision equipment, they will call the artillery in the rear and immediately fire flares in the suspicious direction to confirm.

In this way, a state of layered fortification has been formed, that is, it relies on large and small searchlights for illumination within 400 meters, and within 400 meters to one kilometer, it relies on reconnaissance units equipped with night vision devices and flares.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough searchlights and flares, and the reconnaissance units equipped with night vision devices are conscientious and responsible, not lazy, and able to detect the enemy's situation in advance, then it is basically impossible for the enemy to rely on night raids and sneak attacks.

This tactic of making oneself shine is based on the absolute firepower superiority of one's own side, and only if oneself has absolute firepower superiority can one play this method of making oneself brightly lit, and if the US military has over-the-horizon artillery at this time, then the Chinese are purely a big target and can only attract bombing.

But it's a pity that the Americans don't have artillery with a long range, because once the smoothbore guns of the American army exceed one kilometer, the target is basically gone, and once the cannon is fired, it loses its concealment.

Besides, the Americans know very well that if they want to play artillery, they simply cannot afford to play, because the Chinese artillery fire has a farther range than them, hits more accurately than them, has a faster rate of fire than them, and is more powerful than them, if they dare to open artillery, they will soon be able to attract Chinese counterattack artillery, and the Americans' artillery is not a light thing, and it is impossible to transfer artillery to evade attack in a short period of time. Therefore, this tactic of long-distance artillery bombardment cannot be used on the expeditionary force, and the only way for them to win is to play the tactics of crowds and infantry attacks.

Facts have proved that Li Yongji's prediction was not wrong, the Americans did launch a simultaneous attack at night, and it was a night sneak attack without shelling, and even in order to reduce the probability of being discovered, the Americans actually learned to disguise.

To put it simply, the Americans put a white cloth over their clothes. The surface looks the same color as the snow, and at first glance it is really difficult to spot, and then the people bite the wooden sticks in their mouths and carefully touch the brightly lit Chinese positions.

But it's a pity that these camouflages of theirs are useless at all, although the sight is not good at night, but the camp of the expeditionary force is brightly lit, and there are high-power searchlights everywhere that strafe back and forth, and that's not all. Within 500 meters to 1.5 kilometers outside the camp, there are also many reconnaissance units equipped with night vision devices, that is, members of the Snow Leopard Commando, who are also dedicated to detecting the surrounding movements.

Soon. The reconnaissance unit discovered the enemy's situation, because those US soldiers wearing camouflage nets could not hide their own heat, and this situation could not hide the double-layer reconnaissance of infrared night vision devices and low-light night vision devices, and the enemy situation was immediately exposed.

Due to the large amount of ammunition that was previously hoarded. The expeditionary force was quite extravagant in terms of fire projection, so as soon as the forward scouts spotted the enemy, they immediately called to the rear via the intercom. After that, the artillery in the rear will fire umbrella illuminated shells in the direction provided by the scouts based on the dictated information provided by the scouts in the front, plus pre-calibrated gridded firing points.

In an instant, hundreds of small suns slowly descending around the expeditionary force camp lit up, and the surrounding situation was clearly seen at once, not to mention the hidden scouts in front, and even the ordinary expeditionary officers and soldiers in the rear could clearly see the nearby situation with the naked eye or ordinary telescopes.

This clear view immediately made the observer gasp, because as far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people everywhere, and it felt like there were countless enemies in all directions, which could make people feel a dense phobia.

The reason why the Chinese feel that the Americans around them are boundless is because Burnside gave full play to his numerical advantage, but he did not randomly carry out a crowd charge, but after analysis, in order to avoid a large number of casualties during the attack, he arranged a wavy layered attack.

To put it simply, Burnside divided the attack troops into several batches, and the main purpose of the first few batches of troops was to attract firepower, to put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder troops, but cannon fodder could not be sacrificed at will, so the first attack wave was a frontal skirmisher assault.

That is to say, in the first wave of attacking troops, the distance between people was very large, so as to avoid being killed or injured by Chinese fire, so that they would suffer a lot of losses on the way to the charge.

In other words, this first wave of troops only attracts Chinese firepower, and as long as the Chinese firepower is attracted, the second and third waves will immediately set off, find a gap and rush into the Chinese camp to meet the Chinese in short arms.

It is precisely because it is a skirmish assault with a wide front, and it is night, and the line of sight is not good, so it creates the illusion that there are enemies everywhere at a glance, which is actually similar to the rumors, after all, in the dark sight can not see the place, people will naturally think that there are more soldiers behind, thus forming a psychological suggestion, and this is also an additional attribute of the night attack, that is, people can't figure out how many people they have.

However, the Chinese are not vegetarians after all, and after the initial gasp, they quickly reacted, because the distance was too far and the line of sight was not good, and the machine gun could not fire, but this did not prevent the artillery from attacking.

So what followed was a variety of artillery attacks, including the Type 63 107 mm rocket launcher, 60 mm mortar, and 82 mm mortar, which were three types of rapid-fire artillery.

Of course, there is a difference between carpet bombing here and carpet bombing in the real sense, after all, the firepower density of the expeditionary force cannot reach the standard of the US military at the end of the 20th century, but although it cannot be compared with the standard of the US military at the end of the 20th century, it is also quite terrifying in this era.

In particular, the first wave of shelling, because of the addition of rocket artillery, so it reached an average of 20 shells per second, although most of them are not large-caliber shells, but because they are all high-explosive shells, the US soldiers also lack the countermeasures to deal with this kind of high-explosive shells and incendiary bombs, and the lethality caused is quite terrifying.

In just five minutes, the expeditionary force fired more than 6,000 shells of various types, and the surrounding area was in shambles, although it is not known how many casualties were actually inflicted on the US troops, but according to the reconnaissance of the second wave of flares, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small.

However, in the face of this blow, the momentum of the Americans' attack was only suspended for three minutes, and after three minutes, the attacks were relaunched one after another, and this time the Americans directly abandoned the plan of a muffled sneak attack and directly changed to a strong attack, and everyone shouted the slogan "Hula" and carried out a rapid assault on the Chinese positions with rifles loaded with bayonets.

The reason why the Americans were able to switch so quickly was because it was the second assault tactic that Burnside had developed in advance.

At the beginning, Burnside envisioned that once the sneak attack was not discovered, it would immediately change the sneak attack to a strong attack, and everyone must shout slogans, attack as fast as possible, and do not care about anything, as long as they can rush to the Chinese position.

After the fierce blow suffered by the sneak attack, they not only did not retreat, but aroused their enthusiasm, and then with those young grassroots officers as the backbone, they led their troops to launch a spontaneous forcible attack, and this atmosphere quickly infected the people around them, and finally formed a strong attack of the whole army.

At this time, the Americans shouted slogans when they charged, and their slogans were between Hula and Hera, and this slogan was quite impactful, and often as soon as they shouted this slogan, it proved that they were going to carry out a decisive impact.

There were more than 40,000 people in this wave of attacks, so many people shouted "hula" together, the momentum was huge, and there was indeed an overwhelming impact, coupled with the darkness behind as the background, even the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, who were experienced in combat, were suffocated by this momentum.

Fortunately, after all, this group of expeditionary force soldiers is experienced, plus they are quite confident in their weapons, and they are an invincible army, and they also have a sense of arrogance in their hearts, so they quickly reacted when they saw this kind of offensive wave that seemed to jump out of the darkness and seemed to be overwhelming.

Under the urging and scolding of their respective captains, and in order to eliminate the fear in their hearts, the Chinese in the position also began to shout-for-tat, but there were some uneven, some shouted killing, some shouted victory, and then everyone did not care whether the effective range of their weapons was effective or not, as long as they could fire, they began to shoot towards the place illuminated by flares.

In just an instant, the guns and cannons on the positions of the entire expeditionary force, combined with the sound of the Americans' hula charge all over the mountains, officially staged a night offensive and defensive battle of extremely tragic steel bullets against meat bullets and iron fire against the sea of people.
