On the thirty-fourth day of the Huaibei Campaign, on a battlefield where bullets clashed, an officer wearing the black uniform of the Ming Army looked at the three pieces of his own positions that were interspersed and cut off. The arrogance of the past brews madness in despair in the eyes. Two months ago, the officer was still boasting to his colleagues in the bar of the southern capital about how long it would take for the empire to annihilate the rebels in northern Anhui. It is said that the soldiers of the empire can be ten in one fight, and if they command themselves, they can be in one dozen and twenty.

But now the result is that the Red Republican Army, which is three times the size of the Imperial Army, has surrounded the 1,500 soldiers led by the Ming Army Commander like dumplings.

Here in the Red Republican Army, to be honest, at the beginning when faced with whether to annihilate this army, Ren Di refused. Ren Di has combat experience, but he still has no bottom when it comes to commanding large corps. At the beginning of the war, Ren Di focused on accumulating strength, specifically targeting the weaknesses of the Ming Empire. What should a large army combat look like? Ren Di's concept of this is only a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, and the enemy can divide it.

When he was the commander of the grassroots army in Miana, Ren Di's soldiers were all assigned from the rear, and he was very active in military operations, but now he is commanding a large corps, but he is a little dogmatic and cute. Ren Di's personality is still a little timid, and Ren Di's minimum expectation is to maintain the army's existence for a long time and delay the destruction of the mountainous base areas by this war as much as possible.

However, when this arrogant Ming army seemed to be a little impatient after being unable to find Ren Di's main force for a long time, thinking that the "thief army" had been unable to run, and the combat effectiveness must be as low as that of the rogue a few decades ago, and he was too confident in his belief that he could fight ten, and the lone army went deep and directly pursued Ren Di's 6,000 main force and caught up.

Ren Di's several staff departments and a large number of young officers here are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. Now Ren Di's army has begun to expand, and although it is impossible to recruit soldiers from the countryside, there is no way out for the miners in the large and small mines in Huoqiu County, and the miners in the various coal mines in Huaibei who are being whipped by the miners. By the standards of the 21st century, the Daming mines that Ren Di saw now were all black brick kilns, where dead people were common, and all mine owners were all disregarding human lives for the sake of output. The minerals mined in these mines are sent to the steel mills controlled by the Hai Song Dynasty in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Every mine owner has a private armed force to suppress the miners. The minimum is one or two hundred, and the maximum is five hundred. Armed with imported rifles, and even heavy machine guns. This difference is different from Ren Di's plane in the twenties, thirties and forties, and this difference is beneficial to Ren Di's current situation. Private armies are still private armies, Ren Di's army is not a bandit cluster, this group of mine private troops who guard the checkpoint with machine guns does not mean that they can use machine guns to pass the gates. Attacking the machine gun position with a sea of people, Ren Di thought it was the stupidest thing. The 80 heavy mortars aimed at the corners of the heavy machine guns and shelled them one by one, and then two or three groups of people rushed over to confirm whether the crossfire was destroyed.

In fact, the latter step is basically unnecessary, the twenty kilograms of mortar # shells accurately fell on the position of the heavy machine gun, and when the human body and the heavy machine gun were restored to a state of parts in the firelight, these private soldiers were confused. Their performance was much better than that of the Qing soldiers guarding the fort in the First Sino-Japanese War, and they simply lost their weapons and fled. Obviously, there are only two states of soldiers who can face death directly, the first is a madman who ignores the lives of others, ignores his own lives, pursues money and pleasure, and enters the battlefield to gamble. The second type is the fool who dedicates his life to his ideals. This group of private troops guarding the mines is okay to suppress the unarmed miners with advanced weapons, and as for the battle that dares to see red with bayonets, they dare not face their own death.

There are many proletarian workers who have been oppressed to the extreme. The gang were silent, rescued from the dark mines, and after coming out of the dazedness, they fell into the lies prepared by Ren Di in their own plane. People who have just been woken up from sleep will subconsciously obey the orders of those around them. The miners, who had just been rescued from a place of hopelessness and despair, were very fanatical when they were instilled with the task of saving the world that they had been oppressed all along.

The people who just came out of the closed environment are simply what they say, and the political commissar said that the Ming Dynasty was dying, and these people really believed it.

Another group of fools stood under the banner of Ren Di. When looking at this group of malnourished, but seemingly mentally injected miners doing simple tactical training in the training ground of the base area, Ren Di couldn't help but say: "These people are really easy to deceive. Obviously he has nothing, but he wants to give everything. Saying this, Ren Di felt that the tear ducts in his eyes were a little damp.

However, it was these miners who gave Ren Di hope of winning this war. In Huoqiu County alone, 50,000 miners were rescued from the mines. It will take about nine weeks of training, and the soldiers will enter the system of the northern Anhui Republic. Of these, 150,000 will enter the army.

This is just one county in Huoqiu. One of the most thoroughly liberated counties. In other areas of Huaibei, after Ren Di's army liberated the miners, they let the miners go home on their own, and as a result, half of the workers felt that there was no way to go, so they joined Ren Di's army. There were probably three to four thousand of them. Joined the Red Republican Army. Of course, it was the addition of these people that made Ren Di worry about the decline in the quality of the army, and he was even more hesitant to carry out a war of annihilation against a part of the Ming army.

As for what General Sun, the general of the Ming Dynasty, is doing? The war was obviously dragged into a low-level state by Ren Di's sabotage, and when the war entered modernization, the supplies needed by the army were terrifying. This is especially true of the army of Noh Ono. The steel cannons of one or two tons of the Third Army, as well as the shells, are obviously not something that people can carry. In the past, when the Third Army went north, it would transport troops by rail, and then ship horses through Hokkaido Racecourse to ensure logistical operations.

The modern war was fought with money, and a large part of the money was sprinkled on the logistics line, and the Ming army, who was ready to suppress bandits at the door at the beginning, did not think so much, and drove directly by steamer and train. As a result, there was a tragedy in northern Anhui, the railway was destroyed, and there were not enough pack horses.

The proud soldiers of the southern capital who came to suppress the bandits usually looked for chickens in the red light district of the Qinhuai River in the southern capital by taxi carriage. After following Ren Di's group of mud legs walking on mountain roads in the hilly area twice, they began to take a break. In these twenty days of battle, Sun Ze, a descendant of Sun Chuanting, decided to use his grandfather's car formation. That is, with artillery as the core, the entire army moves slowly, with the city as the defense node. Come and Ren Di. As for the core bandit area in the Dabie Mountains. Are you kidding that there are so many bandits in the plains who go straight into the mountains without finishing the fight?

Sun Ze is so conservative in fighting, he is also suffocated. A group of troops under his command, the Third Army of the Ming Empire, and the Guards Army, crushed the opponent in minutes like Mount Tai pressing the top as soon as they struck. Especially after a new thing such as an airplane entered the battlefield, it was learned that the thieves were wandering outside the city to kill the good people and coerce the people. Some officers couldn't stand it anymore.

Just as a small village cannot ambush a hundred thousand heavy cavalry. Nor were the 30,000 modernized troops stationed in a single city. These Ming army officers, who were stationed in various cities, decided to do something. At present, the Ming army besieged in the small village is from Fuyang City. In the words of the chief of staff of the Red Republican Army, Jang You-hyuk, who designated the battle plan for this battle: "I have been unhappy with you for a long time. ”

The battle broke out at ten o'clock in the morning, and the 4,000 Red Army forced a marching movement and quickly surrounded this army, and the entire staff directly accepted the task of encircling and annihilating this Ming army within three hours, while Ren Di completed the task of blocking the enemy in the south.

Zhang Youhe, and other thirteen young officers issued a military order to Ren Di. When the Ming army found that it was surrounded, it was not afraid at first, but there was a sense of happiness that finally found you. After plowing the ground with shrapnel with twelve 75-mm guns, the Ming army began its first charge. The shelling of 75-mm howitzers shelled on the eastern flank, causing casualties of about a hundred people of the Red Republican Army. Due to the fact that there are too many recruits who have not completed basic training in this battle. Significant problems were exposed under enemy fire.

However, the Ming army was clearly stuck at the level of World War I on Earth, and the idea of destroying infantry occupation with artillery was to destroy the idea of infantry occupation, that is, to bombard with artillery first, and then let the infantry rush up. This method of warfare can be described as a victory in the face of an equally backward enemy in this world.

However, after realizing this problem, the General Staff decided on the spot that while the Ming army was focusing on attacking the eastern flank, the two attacking forces in the north and south, armed with mortars and light machine guns, would take the initiative to attack.

The artillery preparation time during the First World War was very long, and in the case of the Battle of Verdun, for example, the preparation time for the fire of a thousand cannons was as long as one day. War is about firepower, and looking for time difference. When the heavy artillery units of this regiment launched an artillery bombardment to the east, a group of young men of the Red Republican Army immediately launched an attack on the north and south flanks.

Locally, a superiority in firepower was formed. In the face of the active attack of the Red Republican Army, the commander of the Imperial Army with this imperial army once again made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and decided to organize troops to fight these two groups of attacks. As a result, heavy casualties were inflicted under rapid-fire attacks from light machine guns and grenadiers. An hour later, the Red Republican Army had succeeded in splitting the army into two parts, one in the village. The other part is in the wheat fields to the east.

After an hour and a half of fighting, the zero-attack and zero-defense triplanes that were routinely flying in the sky seemed to observe signs of a large-scale hot battle on the ground, and immediately turned around and flew south. There is no direct threat to the plane so far.

To defend against it, the body is made of wood. There is no attack power to attack, the weight of the entire aircraft is 400 kilograms in the air, the full load is 5 or 600 kilograms, and the load capacity of more than 100 kilograms has to be carried with the pilot, so Daming is now a light and soft girl in the Royal Air Force, and it is impossible to load a machine gun. If you want to have a range or not, you can go around within a range of 100 kilometers at most. To speed 20 meters per second, more than 70 kilometers per hour. The minimum speed of a car on a highway in the 21st century is sixty kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed is one hundred and twenty kilometers. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that it is zero attack and zero defense.

But after all, this thing can ignore terrain reconnaissance, and when the small plane turns around in the sky, the staff understands that there is not much time left. Intensified the battle below. Attack the enemy army divided into several pieces one by one, one by one.

Heavy mortars, the wall of fire swept over like a city wall, blowing away the Ming army in the rudimentary fortifications. The mountain artillery, which was difficult to move, became a burden at this time, because the range of the two sides was close to two hundred meters. After the artillery fire, a group of soldiers wearing blue homespun cloth shuttled through the craters to attack, and from time to time used their hands # grenades to sweep the front. Shrapnel mixed with soil particles. The smoke of gunpowder mixed with this blood. In the potholed battlefield, the middle turf was wantonly pulled away by the shock wave, revealing brown soil. Some of the grass was ignited by the explosion and burned. It smells of choking smoke.

This divided area was attacked by five times the strength of the Red Army, and it was still under the absolute superiority of heavy firepower. Having cleared this area, the Reds immediately launched an attack on the next one.

The commander of the Ming army in only three areas remained, and he watched with trepidation as his army was eaten away by whales piece by piece. There is also the opening scene.

A war of annihilation, a war of annihilation in which the system is annihilated. Both sides of the war were aware of the outcome of the battle, one of them was unwilling, could not believe it, and thus panicked, while the other side was excited. The sword of the Ming officer fell to the ground, and a sniper trained by the Red Army pierced the head of the sword-wielding general with a bullet. The confusion caused by the Ming army was immediately discovered, and the Red Army stepped up its offensive and psychological propaganda. In the midst of shouts of surrender and non-killing. Within two and a half hours, the Ming army of 1,524 men was completely annihilated in the small place of Quanyang Town, 723 people were killed in battle, and 651 people were captured. The Red Republican Army suffered 683 casualties here.

The formation of a regiment in the Ming army is gone.
