Three, eight, seven, desperate!

After driving away the group of negotiators, the Qiong Navy immediately began to actively prepare for war - the other party released cruel words before leaving, saying that since you don't give us a way to live, then we can only fight to the death.

As soon as this sentence came out, Xie Xi Pang Yu Ao Sayan and the others were all furious on their faces, and they almost pulled out their guns and left all the people behind, and after they fled for a long time, Hu Kai asked his good brother Wei very incomprehensibly, why did Brother Xie Pang Ge be so angry when they heard this?

Wei Aiwen didn't know too much, but the two of them quickly understood......

- The rebels' retaliation came very quickly, and perhaps they were ready to gamble whether the negotiations were successful or not - the next morning, just after dawn, the scouts sent out by the northern latitudes reported that a large number of figures were gathering in front of them in the distance.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, this time the rebels arranged a very far away position, six or seven kilometers away. But this distance is still within the range of rocket artillery, if long-range ammunition is used. Ma Qianshan was also completely sure that he could determine the shooting elements through mathematical calculations, and then give those enemies a special surprise.

Xie Xi originally planned to adopt Lao Ma's Jianyi, as long as it was bombed again, it was estimated that the gang would not dare to appear in front of the Qiong naval position from now on. It was only the intelligence that the scouts brought back afterwards forced them to cancel the plan.

"The number of opponents is extremely large, maybe even more than 100,000...... It is impossible to have so many rebels? It was true, but they captured a large number of civilians and drove them to the forefront"

After hearing this information, Hu Kai finally understood what the cruel words that the guy put down when he left yesterday meant - the rebels want to play attrition tactics, what can they use to consume the ammunition of the Qiong Navy? Of course, it can only be the people around Huang County.

"A bunch of garbage."

Pang Yu and the other commanders calmed down their faces, because they had already prepared their minds. But they didn't really care much about that guy's threat.

"Is there enough ammunition?"

Xie Xi was only concerned about this, and when he received an affirmative answer, he completely relieved himself, and just climbed the lookout tower of the defensive position, raised his binoculars and observed the enemy position from a distance.

"A large team of more than 100,000 people, and so many civilians have been captured...... Hmph, it's a question of whether they can climb over or not. ”

-- Driving the common people to be cannon fodder, this tactic with very "characteristics of the times" was discussed many times by the comrades of the military group and the staff group as early as Hainan Island, and the conclusion was that as long as the side was not coerced by it and had sufficient ammunition, the threat was not great -- why were the common people driven to death? It's nothing more than the threat of the enemy's swords and guns behind, but when the front is hit by modern hot weapons, what is the threat of the overseer team behind? Since the world entered the era of hot weapons, there has never been a successful example of this cannon fodder tactic of letting ordinary people rush to the front to die, if only coercion can make ordinary civilians rush forward under the rain of bullets, modern countries do not need to make so much effort to train their armies.

What's more, there is still such a distance in the middle - the long march of a large army has always been a matter of high test of the troops' training process and coordination ability, and it is even more so when they advance in combat formation. In ancient times, the reason why we attached importance to the battle formation was to try to wield the manpower of the army to the extreme, and if the formation was not well arranged, the large number of people would become a hindrance.

"Then let's wait and see how much time it takes them to climb the 7,000 meters."

- Despite the rumbling of drums on the opposite side, the rebel brigade began to advance towards the position, and the Qiong navy on the position remained calm, getting up in the morning for internal affairs and taking turns to eat breakfast...... Don't rush, just do what you have to do.

However, the rebels were more rapid than they had imagined, because they did not crowd into a pile, but divided into batches, each with only 3,000 to 5,000 men. It is obviously stupid to use this method of warfare in cold weapon warfare, which is equivalent to sending it to the door to defeat the opponent individually. But in the face of the Joan navy, which is all with firearms, no matter what formation they put up, it will be an end anyway, and this division of troops is very smart.

Moreover, the first few groups are mainly bare-handed civilians, and only at the end there are hundreds of swords and axes to press the formation, obviously used as cannon fodder, just to consume ammunition here.

“…… He actually divided the large army into groups of three to five thousand people, and took turns in groups...... It's a cunning tactic."

Seeing from the telescope that the other party was able to attack in batches in such a clear and unchaotic manner, the faces of several commanders who were originally calm changed color slightly-if each wave had to be completely dispersed by artillery and bullets, then such a dozen or twenty waves of continuous impact would indeed be enough to exhaust the ammunition of the Qiong Navy.

"Is there any countermeasure?"

Xie Xi turned around and asked, and Pang Yu, Ao Sayan and the others behind frowned:

"It's not easy to do, the big living people are not c, after the team in front is crushed, it is impossible for those people in the back to be unaffected, but we don't know how big the impact will be...... If the officers of the opposing side are able to suppress their men and maintain this posture, the prospects for our side are not good. ”

"And then with rocket artillery? We bombard their rear directly? ”

The dismissal was also a bit anxious, and the opposing commander obviously wanted to make full use of their numerical advantage, and did not hesitate to kidnap a large number of civilians to strengthen this advantage. And he did succeed - in the face of firearms, there is no difference between elite soldiers and weak brigades, so in the same way, ordinary civilians can play the same role as soldiers to consume ammunition here.

If this kind of war of attrition is really fought, it will obviously be extremely unfavorable to the Qiong Navy, and the dismissal must be made as much as possible. So he turned his attention for help to the artillery commander Lao Ma next to him, Ma Qianshan also held a telescope to observe the opponent's army for a long time, and frowned:

"It's not difficult to defeat them, but the other side is very scattered between the various batches, and even if both cannons maximize their coverage, they can only cover one or two groups of people......"

"What about a single shot?"

Xie Xi asked unwillingly, Ma Qianshan shook his head:

"A single shot has a very large error, and the phalanx composed of three or five thousand people can no longer absolutely guarantee that it will hit the target. Of course, if I calculate the shooting angle and operate it myself, I am at least 70% sure, but ......"

He looked back at the shooting rack:

"There is also a lot of dust and smoke from a single shot, and after each shot it is at least half an hour before the smoke is dispersed, during which time our entire artillery position will be affected...... The frequency of firing will be greatly affected. ”

"Whew...... He really found our weakness. That Kong Youde really has a bit of a doorway, and he is worthy of being a famous general in the history books. ”

Xie Xi took a long breath, but his face showed a bit of enthusiasm:

"Then let's give it a try and see if we can make up for the gap between us and these historical players with technical advantages."

…… About two or three hours later, four or five offensive waves at the forefront of the rebels, about 20,000 men, had entered the range of naval fire, but the vast majority of the 20,000 men were civilians, few young and middle-aged, mostly old men, children, and women, who were forced forward by their swords and cried out. Of course, the ranks could not be very neat, chaotic, almost like a flock of sheep being driven to the front.

This tactic is indeed despicable, but Ma Qianshan has his own way of cracking it:

"Attention to the artillery positions, the time has come to test your skills - wait for the civilian phalanx to enter 800 meters before firing, use flowering shells, and try to bombard the overseers behind the opponent's formation."

On the other hand, the snipers under Beiwei and all the sharpshooters in the army were also concentrated, some were assigned to various high guard towers, others had horses to walk, and the soldiers who escaped quickly simply ran to two or three hundred meters in front of the position, and formed guerrilla teams in teams to fight those overseers.

Later, when the first batch of civilians came within 800 meters of the front of the formation, a twelve-pounder cannon aimed by Ma Qianshan himself opened fire on them, and the shells were accurate, and they plunged headlong into the crowd of the rear overseers, blowing up the scum and turning them on their backs. Then, as expected, the phalanx fell into chaos.

The terrified crowd scattered like ants, women and children ran around crying, and the Overseers tried to maintain order but soon lost their sight - bullets from a distance caused them heavy casualties and were no longer able to control the situation. In a few moments, the phalanx dispersed - the civilian phalanx, which was used purely as cannon fodder, had neither training nor morale, and would fall apart at the slightest blow.

After that, several civilian phalanxes were concocted in the same way, under the precise strikes of artillery and sharpshooters, the firepower of the Qiongzhou army was rushed to the back to supervise the battle escort personnel, and the civilian casualties in front of the formation were reduced to the maximum of course, of course, there were occasional misses, then there was no way.

The panicked civilians fled in all directions, but in reality they could only run in the right and left directions - it was definitely not possible to retreat, and there were many rebels behind them; And if there are still those who dare to continue to rush forward to the position, then the Qiongzhou army will no longer be polite - there is such a group of people, I don't know whether they want to seek protection or have other plans, they still run to this side of the position when the rear supervision team has been defeated, even if they shout here, they can't let them change direction, so after entering the 300-meter death line, they were all knocked down by the platoon guns on the position, and there was no mercy.

On the main position, Beiwei has been standing proudly with arms crossed, observing the battle situation with a straight face, when the artillery and sniper units joined forces to repel the attack of the first few groups of civilian cannon fodder phalanx, this recognized first professional soldier in the Qiong Navy suddenly showed a smile on his face:

"I think I've found a way to do this kind of batching tactics against them."
