Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Annihilation

The first use of the chariot is usually to the greatest intimidation effect, Ren Di's plane, the German army, which has always been known for its discipline, encountered the British tank for the first time during World War I, and found that this charging guy could not move, and his psychology was broken. In a mess, some dropped their guns and ran, some shot while running, and those who couldn't escape were crushed into meatloaf by the iron monsters, and those who didn't have time to run away became a pile of meat under the monster's tracks.

But tanks were not invincible, especially the early ones that had not been tested in battle and had major design flaws. Sun Ze was gambling, using chariots in this most critical battle, wanting to defeat the courage of the Republican Army at once. However, the scene of the bandit army completely fleeing under the charge of the ironclad chariot did not happen. Sun Ze was like lifting a big hammer and smashing it towards the target in front of him, this target did not shatter like glass, but fell like mud, and the position of the Red Republican Army withstood the impact of the ironclad chariot, although it was dented, but the hammer could not be pulled out.

Courage, when Sun Ze frantically gambled everything, it was the glorious army that pressed the bargaining chip of victory on the imperial army, and the bandit army opposite was still the premise that the bandit army could not compare with the imperial army's will to fight. Ren Di told Sun Ze what variables were.

If it is said that this is a lie, then the person who inflicts the lie must defend this lie at all costs, even if it is his life. This kind of thinking does not only bind the soldiers below, but also the people above. In the mercenary army, money is used to restrain them, a million generous remuneration can make the low-level soldiers work hard, and the nobles can also make the bottom desperately climb up. But can these things put high-level multimillionaires at risk?

In today's productive society, you don't want to admit it, but you have to admit that the lives of people of different social classes in society are not equal. For example, now, Ren Di has 10,000 reasons to explain that his life is more expensive than the soil bun soldiers in this world. Knowledge, rights, and possible contributions to society. But now Ren Di doesn't dare to say that it was Ren Di who chose this system, a system that wants to build the world where everyone is equal. Once the goal has been set, the behavior cannot be separated from the goal. Otherwise it's a lie.

Front-line officers on the battlefield had a high degree of autonomy to decide whether to retreat or attack, and when Ren Di arrived at the front and sent telegrams to the front, the front-line officers and commissars lost this right. The support of the faith of the fighters who joined the party in the line of fire also arrived. Many officers were ready to organize death squads to block the advance of combat vehicles at all costs. From this moment on, Sun Ze had already lost the bet. The troops on the opposite side were not defeated by him.

However, Ren Di is far more abundant than the peasant officers of this world, and the amount of knowledge also plays a role. Instead of attacking the strongest front of the chariot, the blocking battle gave way to the strongest side and implemented the tactics of frontal containment and flank attack. The ironclad chariot of the Ming Dynasty was not faced with a group of frightened and stupid troops, but an army that was thinking about solving problems, and at this time, the flaws in the design of the chariot were exposed. The anchored ones were shot out by the artillery. The moving chariot was disjointed, and it was extremely embarrassing to be bypassed by the soldiers from the direction of the dead end of the fire, and it was blown up alive.

After the complete destruction of the chariots, the only result of the surprise attack on which the Imperial Army had placed all its hopes at this time was to lay a wedge-shaped gap in the Republican position, which was several hundred men wide and less than four hundred meters deep. Such a gap, if the strength of the Imperial army is more than doubled, after a few days of hard fighting, this gap can be torn apart and expanded. It's a pity that it's useless. The pockets were tightened, the sharp knives were ready, just waiting to be poked inside.

After more than ten hours of rapid marching. 150,000 troops rushed to Fuyang. He Wang and Zhang Youhe, who arrived at the Central Headquarters to report, found Li Youran, who had been giving orders to them in the headquarters, and immediately asked at the same time: "What about Ren Diren, aren't you pretending to pass on military orders?" ”

In the face of the domineering questioning of these two generals, Li Youran, who was originally ready to speak well, immediately changed his attitude. For these two colleagues who have fought for more than ten days, Li Youran has an open attitude, but humility is not groveling. Li Youran took out the document signed by his predecessor Di a day ago, and said to the two: "Mobilize the orders of the Party Military Committee when you arrive, and Comrade Ren Di's current post of chairman of the Military Committee will be entrusted to me. The order was not given in the name of Comrade Ren Di, nor in my name, but in the name of the Party Military Commission. ”

Li You then didn't say anything half--the army is not yours, nor mine, or even Ren Di's. Now it is the party that commands the gun, and you are mountaineering.

He Wang and Zhang Youhe are both guys who carry the red treasure book, and the meaning of Li Youran's words couldn't be clearer. Li Youran, who is temporarily the supreme commander of the Military Council, has raised the banner of discipline and is terrifying. Zhang Youhe took a breath, realized that there was a problem with his question, and then asked: "Comrade Li Youran, I just want to confirm, where is Comrade Ren Di?" ”

Li Youran did not continue to use power to suppress people. After all, the general battle is still to be fought by these two people. Li Youran pointed to the place where the frontline of the firefight was on the combat map. said: "Here, there are a large number of new comrades who have joined the party. Comrade Ren Di, as secretary of the party committee, focused on observing this area of the battle. ”

Look at the red and blue strips on the map. Zhang Youhe and He Wang had very wonderful faces. Li Youran sighed and said, "Two hundred artillery pieces, twenty ironclad chariots, and one hundred and twenty-four aircraft were used on the opposite side. That's why the party committee urged you by telegram a day ago. ”

As the officer in command of the operation, He and the others immediately let go of the unhappiness in their hearts and analyzed the situation on the map. Obviously, the Ming Imperial Army suddenly plunged into the pocket formation of the Republican Army, just to fight with the Republican Army. This wave of attacks is the strongest of the Imperial Army, and the battle behind it is easy to block, and if it can't be blocked, the pocket is punctured, and the Red Republican Army must retreat in this operation. The consumption of a large number of war materials gathered here was defeated, and Fuyang City could not be defeated.

"How's the situation?" asked He Wang nervously. Strategically, He Wang is not as ignorant as before, and knows that the stakes are huge. A trace of pride flowed from Li Youran's face: "According to the latest call from the front, the reactionary army and the iron chariots have all been destroyed. In the process of scorching with the infantry of the Imperial Army on the position. He Wang, Comrade Zhang Youhe, you now have eight hours to rest. The counteroffensive is about to begin. ”

Jang You-hyuk said: "If you just wait for us, an hour is enough. Our army will be able to launch an offensive in an hour, and the sooner we go into battle, the less pressure on our comrades at the front. Li Youran smiled and said: "Okay, now we have a hundred long-barreled artillery, now let's talk about how to fight this battle." ”

The camera switched, Ren Di observed the battle in front of him in the tunnel, and Ren Di, who had an absolute advantage, was almost slapped in the face by the anti-horse. Is it possible for the other side to suddenly turn the tables on the battlefield, Ren Di is not sure, but Ren Di will definitely not allow himself to be shrouded in a brainless aura here.

Now the two sides are strangling each other on the battlefield, the army supported by the Red Faith and the army supported by the glory of the Martyrs' Shrine are strangling. Groups of Imperial Army soldiers rushed to the land with hideous faces, and took away these soldiers from Jiangnan with bullets one after another. From time to time, bayonet battles broke out in the tunnels.

If you don't fight back, you don't scold back, Ren Di only does this to his parents. The imperial army on the other side began to fight hard, and of course Ren Di used all his ideas to solve the other party. The tunneling tactics began, and the Z-shaped inclined tunnel twisted towards the enemy-occupied tunnel.

After digging to a range of 150 meters, several large iron drums were moved in. Inclined pits were dug in the ground and iron buckets were placed in them. A powder bag at the bottom of the barrel, and then another explosives bag on top of a wooden plank. The Red Republican Army now has a supply advantage. If you find that the situation on the front line is not right, you can try any tactic. When Ren Di saw this painful pit battle, he remembered the weapons in the Huaihai Battle on the spot.

After lighting the explosive pack, the soldiers hid in the bent wall next to the tunnel, and the conscienceless cannon had a certain chance of exploding. A burst of explosives infused with copper oxide was ejected more than a hundred meters away and fell, and clouds of fire rose into the air. A large amount of smoke and dust rose from the soldiers, and then the soldiers leapt from the position and rushed towards the bombed position.

The shooting can't beat you, the white-knuckle battle is not as ruthless as you, and Lao Tzu goes directly to the explosive bag. When a huge explosion bombarded the positions of the Imperial Army. The officer commanding the battle at the position of the Imperial Army struggled to dial the radio telegram: "We have been bombarded by more than 200 mm of large-caliber heavy artillery, and we are calling for artillery support. ”

When the Imperial Army staff heard a call from the front, their first reaction was to find a large-caliber heavy artillery from the opposite side. However, seeing the whole flash of light rising from the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, these Imperial officers really didn't understand what was going on, and there was no battle in this world that could turn the Imperial Army into a positional battle. Without conscience, this thing has a short range, and only tunnel warfare is effective.

The most desperate thing on the battlefield is not knowing how to attack, just like before, armored vehicle raids, officers only know how to block armored vehicles, but do not know how to block them, if they really use death squads to rush up to block the enemy army, and do not get results in bloody defeats again and again, then it will be a heavy blow to the whole army.

It is very rare to have a commander who has the courage to go to the front line and then think calmly to solve the problem. Ren Di went to the front line to see it, as for thinking, it was just picking up people's teeth. But very useful. Whether it is the battle to block the armor or the tactics of using Z-shaped tunnels and unconscionable guns to cooperate in the later operation, the degree of impact on the current soldiers and officers is equivalent to crossing over and reciting a few famous poems to the reader. However, this impact was even stronger, and several famous poems were mere literary shocks to the literati. And good and effective tactics appear on the battlefield and are life-saving for soldiers who carry out combat orders.

Dozens of tunnels were excavated by groups of soldiers, three shifts of excavation, civil excavation at high speed, this kind of obscene digging tactical bullets could not hit, if the Imperial troops fighting on the breakthrough position rushed out and wanted to seize the tunnel, in the process of jumping out of the charge, they would inevitably be blocked by intensive firepower, and the blood flowed like a river. At this point, even if the Imperial Army is trained in the elite, the tunnel that hits the defense still can't stop a bullet.

However, if you sit and watch the tunnel dig within 200 meters, the terrifying heavy artillery blow falls from the sky, and the terrifying explosion shock wave baptizes the entire position, and the captured Imperial soldiers are all stunned and incapacitated by the shock wave.

Six hours later, the dented position that had been beaten was cut off again by the Red Republican tunnel, and at the same time cut into four parts, and the 2,000 Imperial troops were trapped in the position and could not move. When the westernmost front of the entire encirclement was in full swing. The IRA artillery, which had been silent for ten hours, began to fire again.

Under the roar of artillery from the north, east and south, the field units of the Red Republican Army launched an attack on the Imperial Army under the cover of artillery fire. The Great War of Annihilation began.
