Chapter 510: Attacking Zhenyuan Mansion
After Xu Xueqiu and his entourage arrived in Guizhou, Lin Xiaofeng, who received Chen Hao's order, immediately appointed him as the commander of the Third Division, and He Ziyuan as the chief of staff. Since the 1st Division of Cam Ranh Bay was also going to join the operation this time, in order to facilitate the command, Chen Hao revised the wrong number. The two divisions in Guizhou were renamed the second and third divisions respectively.
After Xu Xilin arrived with the officers, he was appointed commander of the second division, and the officers under him were disrupted into two divisions. The same is true of the revolutionaries, most of them are not under the command of Xu Xueqiu, but are placed under Xu Xilin. Since Xu Xilin was also a member of the Liberation Society, the revolutionaries were not very reluctant to this method, and the two divisions quickly completed the rectification after replenishing the officers.
Lin Xiaofeng, as the nominal owner of the base area, quickly issued an order to attack, and the two mountain divisions marched all the way to the west of Zhenyuanfu City. Huo Tiancai's base was built in a small town next to Zhenyuanfu City, and when his subordinates reported that two mountain divisions were coming, he had a panicked look on his face.
After Chen Hao scolded on the forum, Huo Quzhi informed Huo Tiancai to be careful, saying that Chen Baxian's two mountain divisions were likely to make a move. For this reason, Huo Tiancai hurried to build fortifications and find ways to hoard ammunition, but many players under him betrayed the base and gave him a big headache.
After Chen Hao admitted that Guizhou had a base at the forum, Qian Donkey Skills and Xiao Sanshao arranged for people to publicize in Zhenyuan Mansion, saying that Chen Ba was a native of Guizhou first, so he built a base in Guizhou. Due to Chen Hao's very famous reputation in the game, coupled with the influence of the forum post, many players were unwilling to act as villains and continue to work under Huo Tiancai, so they chose to quit the base.
Another reason why Huo Tiancai was in a hurry was that the arrival of reinforcements was delayed, Huo Tiancai originally told him that he would arrive in Zhenyuan Mansion in ten days, but not long ago he told him that because of obstacles on the way, it might take about fifteen days to arrive. Now there are still four days left before the day that Huo Tiancai promised. Let him hold out for four days under the attack of two mountain divisions, he is not so confident.
Huo Tiancai didn't know the firepower configuration of the two mountain divisions in Cam Ranh Bay, if he knew, he would be completely desperate! After a player withdrew, as long as a player was willing to join the base, he would accept it, and using his influence in Zhenyuan Mansion, he really recruited a lot of players. It gave him some confidence.
Many of the player power bosses around Zhenyuan Mansion actually knew Huo Tiancai, and Huo Tiancai asked them for help, and they couldn't refuse. After patchwork together, Huo Tiancai had 20,000 player troops under his command, which was no less than the attacking troops in terms of numbers. However, the 20,000 player troops can only be said to have guns, and the heavy weapons are only two water-cooled Makqin heavy machine guns, which are extremely shabby compared to the two mountain divisions in Cam Ranh Bay.
Huo Tiancai stood on the wall of the base area, took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, and found that the enemy had already set up camp. It was still midday, and he judged that the enemy would not attack during the day. Surprise attacks are launched at night, so he orders all of his players to replenish their feats while preparing to defend their base in the best possible condition.
Huo Tiancai dug trenches to the west and south, and built a number of pillboxes, hoping to win with fortifications. He has a player under his command who has the skill "Positional Defense", and under his command the fortifications are quite strong, and there should be a lot of hope if they only hold out for four days.
Huo Tiancai was observing when he was observing. The troops outside the city suddenly began to move, and some of them slowly approached his base. Others turned south. After understanding that the enemy wanted to attack from both sides, Huo Tiancai had a sneer on his face, he had also built strong fortifications in the south, and the enemy's division of troops would not have much effect.
"Boom."
The seventy-five mountain guns landed on the position in the west, and sixty mountain guns fired at Huo Tiancai's base at the same time, and the ferocious fire startled him a lot. When the player forces are fighting in Guizhou. Mostly rifle-for-rifle, he experienced the sensation of artillery bombardment for the first time after entering the game, and was spectacularly bombarded by sixty guns at the same time for the first time.
Huo Tiancai's base was completely covered by enemy artillery, and he could not do anything in the face of this situation, because he had no artillery to confront the enemy. As for the method of sneak attack and touch the enemy's artillery positions in the movie. Huo Tiancai didn't even think about it, the artillery positions of the people were not hidden at all, they were so blatantly placed in the open space to bomb, and there were 10,000 NPC troops guarding the side, what kind of sneak attack method should be?
Huo Tiancai watched the buildings in the base area collapse one by one, and watched the players who stayed in the base area being blown up one by one, but he could only watch. He prayed in his heart that the enemy artillery would not discover the munitions and grain depots in the valley, and that if these two important buildings were to be blown down, it would be troublesome. He estimated the location of the enemy's artillery positions, and the chances of the artillery threatening the arsenal in the valley should not be very high, but he was still a little worried.
The arsenal and the grain depot stored a large amount of supplies, and the money to buy these supplies came from Huo Quai, if these two key buildings were destroyed, there would be no supplies after the arrival of the 100,000 army. Huo Tiancai didn't dare to send someone to the valley to check, now that the enemy looked like he hadn't found the arsenal, sending people to check it might lead to the arsenal being exposed.
"Lei Zi, are you sure that Huo Tiancai's arsenal and grain depot are in that direction?"
"Three young bosses, I have been under Huo Tiancai for so long, how can I be mistaken. His arsenal was in that valley, and he had a lot of guns and ammunition in stock, all of which were purchased at a high price, and it was said that he spent a lot of money! ”
It is unlikely that the player will buy heavy weapons at a foreign store, but if they are willing to pay a high price, the foreign company may sell items such as shells. Huo Quzhi spent a lot of money this time in order to completely take down Chen Hao, and supported Huo Tiancai to store money and materials, of course, after the three armies arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion, the money spent would be borne by the three families.
The valley where the arsenal was built was located southeast of the Huo Tiancai base, and the 2nd Division, which was shelling, did not have enough range, but the 3rd Division had no problem. The salvo of sixty artillery pieces of the second division was already incredible, he didn't expect that the troops in the south also had a large number of artillery, and when the artillery regiment directly under the third division began to shell towards the valley, his face suddenly turned pale.
With the exact address of the arsenal provided by Lei Zi, Guan Lianhai quickly commanded the artillery regiment to adjust the firing of Zhu Yuan and shell towards the arsenal. In order to avoid foolproof, the machine gunners of the 3rd Division's machine gun battalion climbed the hill to the east to fire mortar shells, and cooperated with the mountain artillery to bombard the arsenal.
"Boom."
"Boom."
The continuous explosions were deafening, the shells in the arsenal were detonated, and the grain warehouse soon caught fire. Huo Tiancai climbed to the high point of the base area, looked at the valley that had been filled with smoke and fire, and sighed, the arsenal was blown up and the losses were huge, and his cousin would probably be dissatisfied with him.
This is Huo Tiancai's best chance to enter the core of the family, but the start is not good, and now he can only try his best to defend the base. The arsenal and grain depot were destroyed, but as long as the base area was still there, and a large number of troops from the three families arrived in Guizhou and there was still a place to stay, they could slowly fight with Chen Baxian. But if even the base area is lost, and Chen Baxian's people control the entire Zhenyuan Mansion, it will be very difficult for the three troops to take the Zhenyuan Mansion.
Huo Tiancai ordered the player to enter the fortifications in batches, leaving no reserves, and preparing to fight to the end with the NPC troops of the two divisions. He learned Chen Hao's method in the northeast, divided his 20,000 men into four teams, and set up four lines of defense. When Chen Hao was dealing with the Russian NPCs, he used the advantage that the player could be resurrected to resist the Russian army, and Huo Qubing also wanted to use this method to give full play to the advantages of the player's troops.
It's a pity that he miscalculated, Chen Hao dared to do this because the player had a large number of troops, and the firepower of the Russians was not ferocious. Now the number of Huo Quai's subordinates is comparable to Chen Hao's NPC troops, and there is no heavy firepower, divided into a team of 5,000 people to defend the southeast and southeast, how can this person be.
After destroying the fortifications of the valley, the artillery regiment of the 3rd Division aimed its guns at the enemy's fortifications and shelled fiercely under the command of Guan Lianhai. At the same time, the gunners also approached the forward position, and the mortars opened fire on the trenches, killing many players in the trenches.
One hundred and twenty mountain artillery pieces and a large number of mortars hitting a base area that is not even a county seat is indeed too bullying, and the defensive position that Huo Tiancai was proud of was almost plowed by the shells. In the face of such heavy artillery fire, the players under his command did not flinch, and most of them were suppressed in the fortifications and did not dare to raise their heads, and many were directly buried alive.
Xu Xilin ordered the Sharp Knife Battalion of the Second Division to launch a charge, with artillery and heavy machine guns to cover, and Huo Tiancai's players who had not experienced a big battle could not resist at all. After discovering that the situation was wrong, Huo Tiancai hurriedly ordered the players of several other defensive lines to move forward, but it was too late, and the Sharp Knife Battalion took his forward position with a single charge, sharing the advantage of the defensive position with Huo Tiancai.
Huo Tiancai knew that he was finished, but he really couldn't blame him, who would have thought that the enemy's firepower configuration would be so perverted. Even if it's an NPC elite unit, it's impossible to have such a firepower configuration! He couldn't help but be jealous that Chen Ba came first, Chen Ba first had a large number of expensive warships at sea, and the troops on land were armed to the teeth, how good it would be if he could have such strength.
Huo Tiancai had lost the courage to continue resisting, but he didn't dare to order a retreat, the enemy lost his base in the first round of attacks, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it to his cousin. Knowing that he can't hold the base, he orders his players to stick to the end, and when the time comes, there will be no credit and hard work, and I think that cousin will remember a little bit of affection.
