Chapter 178: The Great Water Breaks Hancheng
"Cao Rong, you lead 1,000 people to guard the only entrance and exit of the mountain range and the outer passage, only allowed to enter and not to leave! Jianguo, you lead 700 people to garrison here, wait for me to bombard and kill first, and after half an hour, you set off again, follow the route set before, and after arriving at the destination, you will set up a formation on the spot to block the escape route west of Hancheng. Chen Ye gave the battle order.
Cao Rong led the troops to leave first, her task was the heaviest, the only entrance and exit of this passage was in her hands, and she could resist the counterattack of Han Cheng in a short time, but after a long time, she would be attacked from inside and outside, so their combat mission was only 3 days.
Chen Ye found a no-man's place, and used the "Super Large Sealing Scroll" in the direction of the upper reaches of the Yalu River to release the "Bloody Demon Beast Thunder Light", as usual, he also used the Disciple Card, because the crystal was not enough, he only summoned Luke out for 3 days, which cost the remaining 500 crystals.
Chen Ye took the Thunder Light and went downstream, bringing the 300 elite soldiers with superb gunnery he selected to the Thunder Light, the Thunder Light only has 24 gun cabins, but Chen Ye did not conduct naval battles anyway, and directly let people fill the deck with small cannons, even so it can only be arranged with more than 80 guns on the Thunder Light, and the rest are handed over to Lin Jianguo and Cao Rong to use, if it is about artillery reserves, his troops are also among the best in the entire Sixth Division, and fortunately he has obtained a lot of military supplies, otherwise, This war of extermination is very difficult to complete.
Chen Ye said something to boost morale, and then set off, these hot-blooded men knew that they were all here to kill the imperial army, they were all very excited, and their eyes widened as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, it seemed that the hatred for the invaders had been ingrained in the hearts of the Chinese people.
A big flood, in the day is not dawn when suddenly erupted, in the enemy-occupied area of the Han Town, and the rear of the Imperial Army, in addition to the daily vigilance, there are not too many fortifications at all, the water directly flooded into the Han Town, for a time the whole town fell into a flood, many Imperial troops are still camped in the field, a big flood directly washed away all the camp fortifications, the Imperial Army soldiers who are still asleep directly become a floating corpse, in the face of natural disasters, human life is sometimes very fragile.
When Chen Ye's "Thunder Light" came down the Yalu River, he saw that Hancheng was submerged in the water, and the town was pitch black, but the shouts and scolding came one after another, and Chen Ye could hear it from afar.
Chen Ye saw a bridge across the Yalu River, connecting to another piece of land from outside Hancheng Town, because the upstream barrage fortifications were blown up, many debris washed here with the current, including many giant trees, at this time all hit the bridge, making the bridge precarious under pressure, Chen Ye pointed to the bridge and said: "Blow it up for me!" ”
Under an order, forty or fifty shells suddenly hit the bridge, and the bridge could no longer bear it, and it collapsed with a bang, which made the surging river more intense, and even Chen Ye felt that the water level rose more than ten centimeters out of thin air, and the Lei Guang rushed down the river, and the speed was faster.
"Let's go! Go to the port first. "Although the waterline has been submerged in the town, Chen Ye can get closer to Hancheng less than 400 meters away from driving the Thunderlight, this position is full of cannons, no matter how good the fortifications are, they will be bombarded, but Chen Ye did not attack the town at the first time, taking advantage of the unknown night, when the enemy army failed to detect the dangerous approach, Chen Ye went around to the east of Hancheng, this is the position he has long been optimistic about, this is also the last exit for Hancheng to escape out, nearly ten big ships are docked in the port at this time, and there is even a warship.
Due to the sudden rise in the water level, the troops stationed on the ship hurriedly assembled, and did not receive the task assigned by the commander, at this time Chen Ye had already driven the Lei Guang to rush to the front, less than 200 meters away, under Chen Ye's rich experience in naval warfare, these ships were just lambs to be slaughtered, the Lei Guang turned left and right, and each time it ensured the continuous shooting of dozens of guns, especially the 300 artillery on board, of which less than 100 people really shot, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers, The speed of the shelling is more ferocious.
After bombing for more than 2 minutes, more than a dozen ships, including that battleship, were already full of holes, Chen Ye hesitated, he originally wanted to seize the battleship to increase the strength of naval warfare, but after thinking about it, their purpose was to exterminate a reorganized division, as for the rest of the matter, they would not think about it at all, if this battleship was incorporated into the combat strength of the division, it would be difficult for the mission to be affected because of this, wouldn't it be ridiculous, Chen Ye then ordered all of them to be destroyed.
The four ways out of Hancheng were all blocked, Chen Ye drove the Lei Guang back to Hancheng Town, summoned Mr. Potato out, and naturally the "Rheinmetall anti-aircraft machine gun" was loaded on the bow main gun position of the Lei Guang, Mr. Potato pulled down the launcher, and the cannon fire burst out, only to see that half of the city walls of the Han town had collapsed, and the leakage plugging project that had just been done was immediately destroyed, and the water all poured into the town, and Chen Ye entered the town with the gap in the town and the water.
"Phantom"! Chen Ye first consumed 200 points of divinity value, and rushed the phantom of the Thunder Light into the town, which really attracted a lot of firepower, and then Chen Ye entered the town again, although there were inevitably many bullets fired at the Thunder Light, but it was difficult for the tall Thunder Light to hit the people on the deck from the surface position on the water, and up to 500 points of armor, even if the kinetic energy damage of ordinary bullets doubled, there was no damage to the Thunder Light at all.
[Phantom: Cooldown time is 24 hours, consumes 200 divinity points, continuously consumes 1 divinity value/second, condenses a phantom with the same body, and can simulate any behavior of the body. 】
"The Great Wave!" Consumed 600 points of divinity, the Thunder Light and its phantom set off a monstrous wave in the Korean town, slapping at the buildings everywhere, the buildings that were bombarded by the huge wave quickly collapsed, more than 1200 points of damage, so that this devastated city can no longer withstand the ravage, a huge wave almost shot the Korean town into ruins, and more floods poured into the town, countless Imperial soldiers died tragically in this disaster, at this time, the fierce and murderous Imperial soldiers in the past, helpless like lambs to the slaughter.
[Great Wave: Cooldown time is 6 hours, consumes 300 divinity points (the consumption of non-marine environments is doubled), and immediately swells up a huge wave to slap the target to cause 1000+ strength x4 damage, and has a certain chance to cause a "knockdown" effect. 】
Chen Ye was not interested in rescuing those Imperial soldiers, but instead let the soldiers who failed to shell take advantage of the terrain of the "Thunder Light" and condescendingly use high-fire firearms such as "micro * charge" and "machine gun" to strafe them, and he didn't need a live mouth.
Seeing that his combat exploits began to rise rapidly, Chen Ye's heart was calm, and after entering a meditative state, the Chakra Breathing Method was used, converting 90% of his health into mana, and then activating the "Eye of the Storm", accelerating the level of this terrifying disaster.
[Eye of the Storm: Quality Green; Ship equipment; Need: "Divinity"; +20% for artillery hits; Storm vision +100%; Thunderstorm: Consumes 5000 mana to create a thunderstorm in an area, lasting 20 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 month.
For a full 20 minutes, the artillery fire and gunfire of the Thunder Light were mixed with the thunder endlessly, the screams of the Imperial Army became weaker and weaker, and the coming of the thunderstorm poured the sea water into the estuary, which made the entire Han Town have become an ocean, under Chen Ye's repeated exertions, the entire Han Town was razed to the ground, and the Imperial Army Division and regimental level troops stationed here were nine out of ten, leaving only a few thousand lost dogs to flee to the west and north, because the water near the south and east was all water.
The Thunder Light roamed the original site of Hancheng, chasing and killing those Imperial soldiers who had not died, Chen Ye dug a hole in the soil under the dusk apple tree, and ordered all the things that were salvaged to be thrown into this hole, and I don't know how the Heavenly Book Space concealed this incredible event in the past, and the 300 people he brought with him did not have the slightest doubt about the existence of the "Thunder Light".
Corpses, building debris, soaked guns and ammunition, all salvaged things were thrown into the hole, but the hole seemed to never be filled, the mouth of the black hole was always open, and when the morning sun shone down again, the Thunder Light was silently stranded in a ruin.
200 soldiers jumped off the Thunder Light and began to search among the ruins, the most important thing is food, even if it has been soaked in water, but most of the food is still edible, they only brought 3 days' rations, and now they have basically eaten up, when they set off this morning, Chen Ye has used up the reserve grain, in order to let everyone have a full meal, even if he occupies such a big advantage, Chen Ye still lost nearly 100 soldiers, many of whom fell into the water and drowned in the storm, but Chen Ye had to do this, This will break down all resistance more quickly.
The first to receive the news in the team space was Cao Rong's side, the 1,000 troops she led blocked the only access to the entrance, and were frantically rushed by the fleeing imperial army, which was less than 2,000 imperial troops who wanted to escape like their lives, but Cao Rong adhered to the combat mission assigned by Chen Ye, even if the soldiers were blocked with flesh and blood, they could not let a deserter go out, because they went out, not only meant that the planned operation failed for half a month, but also brought out their news, There are enough 10 divisions and regiment-level imperial troops around here, and they will support some troops at will, Chen Ye and they will be bombarded to death here, but they will have to hold out for at least 7 days before they completely return.
The soldiers of the imperial army who fled north launched a suicidal charge, but still failed, after more than 4 hours of fighting, it was found that the side of Cao Rong did not show the slightest weakness, the artillery fire came more fiercely, and the national army that met was more ferocious, the soldiers of the imperial army who had no momentum could only give up and turn westward, in just a few hours, the battle damage of Cao Rong reached forty percent, and only more than 500 people were left to follow around, the battle situation was extremely tragic, if it were not for her wearing a "cavalry suit", and she was in front to attract firepower, Repeatedly charged to intercept the Imperial soldiers who tried to flee, perhaps their operation had already failed.
Chen Ye knew from the beginning that the difficulty of this "battle of life and death" was not how many Imperial Army soldiers were killed, but the extermination of an integrated division, which meant that if the number of soldiers fleeing under the establishment of this division exceeded a certain number, then it could not be regarded as completely exterminated.
Lin Jianguo is guarding in the west, and the pressure is relatively less, but she has neither terrain advantage nor firepower advantage, so she can only set up a formation on the spot to intercept the deserters, and she can't stretch the interception line too long, she only has 700 people, so Chen Ye's request to her is to try her best to intercept, even if she lets some people go, it doesn't matter, because the west is a barren mountain, and the imperial soldiers who lack food and clothing can't run far even if they escape into the mountains, and they can't run far after chasing into the mountains, and they want to bring the news out here. It would take at least ten days to cross the entire barren ridge to another enemy-occupied city on two legs, and they would have already returned by then, so Lin Jianguo was not particularly ruthless, but in the face of the wolf-like soldiers of the Imperial Army, the recruits who lacked battlefield experience were still inevitably sacrificed, and there were only more than 400 people left when the 700 people finally joined Chen Ye.
"The situation is better than imagined, I originally because even if I can successfully flood Hancheng, the remaining troops will not exceed 500 people, plus the one on the other side of Caorong, we can still maintain the combat effectiveness of more than 1,000 people, it is not easy." Chen Ye sighed.
Looking at Hancheng Town, which had become a wasteland ruin, Lin Jianguo blinked, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, Chen Ye patted her shoulder comfortingly, he knew what Lin Jianguo thought, Lin Jianguo, who had never been willing to kill too much, encountered this scene of flooding tens of thousands of people to death, and the inner struggle was more than what she exposed on the surface, and Lin Jianguo didn't do it, it was himself who died, and let tens of thousands of people die in order to live for himself, this is the survival law of reincarnation.
"If one day I need to die so you can live, I want you to be a little gentler when you start." Lin Jianguo suddenly raised his head and smiled, but there was an indelible sorrow in his smile.
With Lin Jianguo bringing people to clean up, Chen Ye's speed was much faster, and in the evening, he finally cleaned up the ruins of the entire Han Town, at this time Li Fu came over and reported: "Regiment Commander, it's finished, the useful loot is a total of 6 armored vehicles, 3 tons of fuel, and about 500 kilograms of blistered grain, and other machinery and guns have been soaked in water for too long, and they are no longer usable, and they have all been disposed of, and there are a total of 1,748 survivors, all of whom are ordinary people, and they have been out of danger, and we have carefully checked them, There were absolutely no soldiers of the Imperial Army mixed in. ”
Chen Ye nodded, took out ten "canned beef (large)" and said: "Cook a pot of meat porridge for everyone mixed with soaked grain, especially those ordinary people, don't abuse them, and promote the benevolence and love of our national army, as well as the military tents and bedding we brought, divide half of them into them, and prepare dry food for them for 3 days." ”
"Commander? They are enemy territory...... Even if you don't kill them, it's already merciful to let them go, and you still have to distribute food and supplies? The brothers' food was already insufficient! Li Fu exclaimed, after he came to Chen Ye's regiment, because he was Lin Jianguo's descendant, his combat skills were not high, so he simply did logistics work, and he had the best idea of how long the current materials and military rations could last.
"Do as I say! Even if it is an enemy-occupied area, it is also forced by the general trend, they are all the people of China, with the same blood, and I have flooded their homes and relatives with a great flood, which is already a heinous crime, and I will not give them a way to live...... I can't do it, and Sun Shizuo doesn't teach us that, as for whether they leave here and go to other places to spread our killing, or spread our benevolence, justice is in the hearts of the people, I Chen Ye have always done things with a clear conscience, and there is no need to show others. Chen Ye said.
When Li Fu shook his head and sighed and left, Lin Jianguo couldn't help but pull Chen Ye and asked, "You really think so?" Why do I think you're fooling people again? ”
Chen Ye squeezed his eyes at her and smiled: "Or do you know me, if we take the remaining troops to other enemy-occupied areas, it is tantamount to sending them to death, the target of the active attack is too big, it is impossible to have a high survival rate of defending on the spot, the location of Hancheng is very unique, as long as you hold the entrance and exit of the mountain range 300 meters wide, this is an iron-clad position, and this is the sea transit in the enemy-occupied area, if you give up the mountain access road and retreat to the ruins of Hancheng, I can use the Thunderlight to carry out fire support from the sea, The ships here have been completely destroyed by me, and if we want to use ships to surround us from the sea in a short period of time, it will take at least 7~8 days to come from the nearest enemy-occupied area, and by that time we have already returned without dying, so this place is our best position to 'wait for the rabbit'. ”
"Those civilians have been in the enemy-occupied area for a long time, and no one can let them stand on our side in a short period of time after more than ten years of ideological changes, let them go, they will only subconsciously go to the enemy-occupied area to escape, because in their thoughts, although it is a bit humiliating to be a dog, but at least they can live, I just let them inform those imperial troops, their nest has been served by me, in the mouths of these lackeys who are eager to make meritorious contributions, they will definitely add fuel and vinegar to weaken us, saying that as soon as the imperial army arrives, two or three artillery pieces can wipe us out, so that On the one hand, the imperial army will not give up the grand strategy of Anding City, on the other hand, it must also take into account the timely supply of logistics, after all, the most feared thing in long-term combat is poor logistics, so the imperial army will not attack here with a large force, about 1~2 wings, which is already what they think is enough. Chen Ye said eloquently.
Lin Jianguo's eyes lit up, she was gradually amazed by Chen Ye's art of war from the idea that it was impossible to complete the "main mission", she is now full of confidence in Chen Ye, although her "main mission one" at this time has not been completely completed, but this is only a matter of time, the remaining 2000 people have fled into the barren mountains, as long as it takes more than ten hours, the deserters without any supplies will be judged to lose combat effectiveness, so as to automatically complete her "battle of life and death".
