Chapter 199: Breaking the Sadi City
Get started!
All the soldiers of the New Ninth Brigade, under Ouyang's order, brazenly launched a fierce attack on the No. 4 area of the defense line of the east gate of Sadi City.
Of course, in the face of the strong city defense of Sadi City, the main offensive means of the New Ninth Brigade was the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of artillery!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The cannonballs that shot out in anger quickly burst out and cut perfect curves in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it bombarded the city wall, causing large swaths of masonry to crumble like tofu. The officers and soldiers of Lan on the city wall suffered countless casualties, and many of them were directly torn apart by the surging force, and blood was spilled everywhere.
"Damn Tang Man!"
One of the commander of the Lan army burst out: "Pass my order, order the artillery to counterattack immediately, and knock out their artillery positions for me!" ”
"Yes, Commander!"
The artillery of the New Ninth Brigade is surging, and the officers and men of Lan are not vegetarians, and they have long been determined to die, so they also use a small number of artillery to fight against the New Ninth Brigade!
The battle had just begun, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery bombardment.
After more than ten minutes, even if the number of artillery of the New Ninth Brigade far exceeded that of the Lan Army, it did not take advantage of the slightest advantage.
Lan Jun is so tenacious!
Its title of "the strongest army in Central Continent" is worthy of its name!
Kong Jie, the commander of the 513th Regiment, who was in charge of directing the battle at the front line, resolutely ran to the front line in order to observe carefully and observe the first-hand situation.
However, in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Lan army, Kong Jie was almost killed several times.
"Phew!"
Kong Jie slapped the dirt on his body because of the artillery bombardment, and his mouth was also spitting out phlegm with mud.
"I finally understand why the 7th Independent Brigade has so many artillery pieces, and it has been attacking for more than an hour, but it has not been able to take it down."
"This group of Lan Jun is much more powerful than anything we have encountered in the past!"
In the national war for more than two months, Kong Jie also fought with the Lan army several times, winning and losing, but Kong Jie was never convinced.
But.
Today, the Lan army that Kong Jie is facing is definitely the elite of the Lan army. Moreover, it is still a group of Lan soldiers who put life and death aside!
In this case, the combat effectiveness of the Lan army is very strong!
"Damn, keep fighting like this, and in another hour, we will also want to break through their city defenses!" Kong Jie scolded secretly.
~~~~
Brigade Headquarters of the New Ninth Brigade.
At this moment, Ouyang and Arnold were also watching with binoculars.
The problem discovered by Kong Jie, Ouyang and Arnold also discovered.
The tenacity of the Lan army is far beyond everyone's imagination, and the strength of the counterattack is also very fierce.
Arnold frowned and said, "Brigade Commander, if this continues, it will be difficult for us to break through Sadi City!" ”
Ouyang nodded.
Arnold continued: "Brigade commander, can you ask the plane to come to the aid now, I believe that with the reinforcement of the plane, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of my new ninth brigade, we will definitely be able to break through the No. 4 area of the defense line of the East City Gate in a very short time." ”
Air Force Aid?
Why doesn't Ouyang want to?
However, at present, the main force of the Tang Air Force, under the command of the commander-in-chief Zhai Songpo, bombed the No. 1 and No. 2 areas of the East City Gate defense line, and the rest of the fighters were also distributed in the main battle sites along the South City Gate, the North City Gate, and the West City Gate.
"Fighter assistance, let's not think about it!" Ouyang gritted his teeth and said.
"Report!"
At this moment, Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the 512th Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade, hurriedly ran in and brought a combat request from the regiment commander Rommel.
"The officers and men of Lan are all determined to die, their morale is extremely strong, and the number of artillery is very impressive, instead of causing damage to their soldiers, it is better to concentrate fire and destroy their walls!"
This is Rommel's exact words.
Destroy the city walls?!
Arnold immediately frowned and said: "The thickness of the enemy's city wall is much thicker than the general city wall, even if our cannonballs are all gone, we may not be able to break through the city wall in a short time." ”
In fact, there is another reason, Arnold didn't say it, but Ouyang also understood.
If all the artillery is concentrated to attack the enemy's city wall, then the officers and men of Lan on the city wall will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to the officers and men of the New Ninth Brigade who have lost artillery support.
This is a tactic of "killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred self-inflicted losses"!
Immediately, Ouyang Yi gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, you tell Rommel that I agreed to his suggestion." ”
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
Zhao Gang ran away, but Arnold frowned tightly.
Arnold said in a deep voice: "Brigade commander, in order to be the first to enter Sadi City, the lives of many officers and soldiers were sacrificed, according to what I know about you, you shouldn't agree, but you are now~~!" ”
Before Arnold could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ouyang.
How could Ouyang not understand his words?
The tactic of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, of course Ouyang would not agree, and he would never be able to do this kind of thing, but what Arnold didn't know was that Ouyang had the existence of the system as an external artifact.
The powerful Scud missile, is it a joke?
"But the damn Scud missile is too time-consuming, and its artillery crew and vehicle crew are deployed one after another, and it will take nearly 1 hour at the shortest to complete the launch."
Ouyang scolded in his heart.
~~~~~
The other side.
The artillery, which had received Ouyang's order, immediately reversed the position of the gun and turned to bombarding its thick city wall with all its might.
At the same time, the officers and men of the 512th and 513th regiments were ordered to reduce the intensity of the offensive and strive to minimize their own casualties before the Scud missiles were ready.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The artillery roared, and the shells carrying 10,000 catties of huge power bombarded the strong city wall of the Lan army, and immediately took away a large area of masonry and stone.
Under the huge shock, although not many Lan soldiers were killed, the huge shock caused by the bombardment of the city wall still caused the bodies of the Lan officers and soldiers to shake violently, and one or two inattentive Lan soldiers fell directly to the ground.
Before they could come to their senses, there was another round of heavy bombardment!
However.
As before, the heavy artillery fire from the New Ninth Brigade did not cause many casualties among the officers and men of Lan.
This couldn't help but make many Lan officers and soldiers happy.
"Didn't hit us?"
"Tang Manzi is too much, so many artillery fires didn't hit us?"
Many Lan officers and soldiers were immediately overjoyed.
However, the commander of the Lan Army, who was in charge of Area 4, frowned.
"No, the Tang Army wants to directly destroy the walls of our army!"
Thinking of this possibility, the commander of the Lan Army was immediately taken aback, and brazenly ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to launch a more fierce counterattack against the New Ninth Brigade.
The Arashi Army has fought back!
In the next nearly an hour, the New Ninth Brigade, as the attacking side, completely became the beaten side.
The Lan Army's powerful firepower made it impossible for the thousands of officers and men of the New Ninth Brigade to raise their heads at all, and they could only retreat into temporary positions.
"Aggrieved, really aggrieved!"
Monk Wei scolded secretly.
Of course, he also knew his own intentions, and jumped over the Arashi officers and soldiers to attack its walls with all his might.
However, after nearly an hour of shelling, the city wall in the No. 4 area of the East City Gate defense line did not completely collapse.
The walls are so thick!
~~~
Meanwhile.
Zhai Songpo, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, immediately scolded loudly after learning the news.
"Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!"
"The enemy's city wall is so thick that all the shells of their New Ninth Brigade will be exhausted, and within a few hours, they will not want to destroy the city wall!"
"Isn't there much to be ashamed of?"
"Get down!"
"Give me the order to take them down from me immediately!"
Zhai Songpo is really angry today.
But.
Before his order could be conveyed to the New Ninth Brigade, he saw a violent explosion suddenly occur on the wall of the No. 4 area of the East City Gate Defense Line, which was much more violent than any explosion he had seen before!
Endless white light rises into the sky, and the irritating eyeballs are extremely uncomfortable!
"This, this, what is this?"
"What an astonishing power!"
Zhai Songpo was horrified.
Scud missiles, finally fired!
At this moment, Ouyang, who was commanding the battle on the front line, immediately waved his fist excitedly the moment the explosion sounded.
"Okay, good~~!"
The power of the Scud missile, did not disappoint itself!
The power of this single missile alone is much more effective than more than 30 artillery pieces firing at the same time for several minutes.
The walls of the city are crumbling in large patches of masonry!
The Scud missile used by Ouyang this time is the Scud A type, which is the earliest version of several models of the Scud missile, although the power is far less than the later B1, B2, and B3, but it is still much stronger than the power of infantry guns and heavy artillery in this era.
Of course, the Scud Type A, has a huge drawback!
1. The killing radius is not large enough!
2. The killing effect on the enemy is not enough!
3. Compared with the solid missile, its ground equipment is too complicated, the operation is inconvenient, and it takes one hour to complete the launch.
But.
With so many shortcomings, it still can't stop its power, its killing effect on the enemy is not good, but the destructive power to military facilities is quite amazing!
Especially with such thick and tough walls!
In later generations, people called the Scud missile the nemesis of the city wall!
At this moment, Zhai Songpo was stunned.
The officers and men of the New Ninth Brigade, including Rommel and Kong Jie, also smacked their tongues.
Kong Jing was shocked: "The power of this damn ~ is amazing!" ”
Rommel also exclaimed: "If you come with a few more shots, you will definitely be able to successfully break through the enemy's wall." ”
The officers and soldiers of Tang were shocked, and the most shocked were the officers and soldiers of Lan on the city wall.
"This, this, this~~~!"
"What kind of weapon is this?"
"We didn't see it at all!"
See?
Of course they can't see it!
Thus, the ground group of the Scud missiles, at a distance of 50 kilometers from where they are located.
Such a long distance of blows is not understandable to people of their time.
The maximum range of the Scud-A missile is 300 km!
"How many more?"
Ouyang sneered: "Scud A-type missiles, Lao Tzu has 30 rounds!" ”
A few minutes later, when all 30 Scud missiles were fired, the tough city walls, which had already been overwhelmed by dozens of artillery pieces, finally fell!
The defense line of the east gate of Sadi City has been breached!
Sadi City, declared breached!
