Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mantis Arm as a Car

"The general has 100,000 soldiers, hundreds of cannons, dozens of war eagles, and a station east of Huashan is famous all over the world. However, I would rather be the queen of the ox than the head of the phoenix,......" Ren Di took a letter and read it leisurely, and suddenly put it down and said to the staff officers around him: "Don't you think this copy is a bit like the paragraph in the Chen Shijia in the historical records." A chief of staff smiled and said, "Sir, I don't understand this sour text. Tell me about it. ”

Ren Di said: "Zhao Chen." A well-mannered officer shouted, "Here! Ren Di said: "You have read the private school, and you took this group of illiterate people to make up for the vernacular version of the historical records." Dare to love me, playing the piano to the cow. Zhao Chen said: "Guarantee to complete the task." There was a burst of merry laughter among the officers.

Ren Di received the letter in his hand into a file bag in the conference room. This file bag contains more than thirty such delicate letters on paper.

Since Ren Di arrived in North China, the various forces of the Ming Dynasty have written to Ren Di like crazy. There is such a compliment just now, persuade Ren Di to be the king, and pat his chest to promise that he will be a pawn, and the heroes of the world dare not obey. There are also those who know how to be emotional and reasonable, asking for alliances and mutual protection in this troubled era, and there are also those who send their daughters to try to marry. However, these were all taken by Ren Di to the staff as a joke to make everyone laugh.

With so many letters, Ren Di only saw one phenomenon, the opposite side was in fear, and he was afraid of the power of the Republican Army in North China. They are indeed afraid, after the Republican Army enters Shaanxi, it is simply cutting melons and vegetables. The veterans trained by the Ming Empire with the treatment of soldiers were all wiped out in the East China Campaign. Now how can the Zhuangding troops temporarily captured in Xi'an be able to stop it.

The cost of raising a modern army is very expensive. At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming New Army, it was a modern army raised with high salaries, high salaries and high social status with glorious education. Fight for glory and enter the Martyrs' Shrine after death. The East China Campaign can be said to be the hardest war fought in the land of the Ming Dynasty, this army has glory and knows to fight for glory. The fatality rate can often be as high as 80 percent. The five imperial standing armies that were destroyed and disabled by Ren Di, if Ren Di is given a fair evaluation, the third army of the empire is the most capable of fighting, and the mercenary army from Southeast Asia is the most dish.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers, who are cultivated with interests and glory, cannot be said to be weaker than the soldiers of the Republican Army, and they are stronger in terms of individual combat, whether it is will or physical tactics. The backwardness of the imperial army is due to the command structure of the group army and the atmosphere of obedience created by the officers at the grassroots level.

But now it's such a soldier, and the advantage of Shaanxi is gone, and now it's the strong men who are captured, and they ask why these people are fighting? These strong soldiers, who have not even been deducted from food and cannot get their salaries, will never die for the empire. However, the IRA can now be said to be fighting for hope.

Again, there are only two kinds of people who can stand on the battlefield to fight for life and death, one is a madman and the other is a fool. The empire can no longer afford to raise madmen, and even people like Ren Di, who were not easy to become stupid, are now starting to move closer to fools.

Air-to-ground combat. When he was fighting in northern Anhui, Ren Di suffered from the plane and understood how to be beaten by the plane. Now Ren Di has mastered air supremacy. Various uses of airplanes appeared, reconnaissance, warplanes cruising the land, seeing enemy troops appear on planes and set off fireworks. A thousand people are a red firework, and 10,000 people are a yellow firework. Siege of the city, shelling began after the plane peeped out.

Within a month, a large number of republican troops were fighting in two parts of Shaanxi, one was a siege battle with heavy firepower, and the other was an extremely disciplined trotting movement of thousands of troops, chasing the soldiers of the imperial army who dared to go out of the city. The entire Imperial army began to be in disarray, and most of the Imperial Army officers would rush back with their troops. I don't want to give the Republicans a stop in the field.

There are also those who are bold, such as an Imperial Army now trapped on a hillside, the plan of this Imperial Army officer is to use such an elite unit as a bait to attract the Republican Army to surround it, and then let other troops follow up to attack the Republican Army on two fronts, so that this elite army can blossom in the center. However, the reality is skinny, this elite unit of the 3,000-strong Imperial Army did lead a division of the Republican Army over, but the movement of the 20,000 Imperial Army as a counterpart was too slow, and before it could exchange fire with one division of the Republican Army, it encountered three other Republican Army divisions that came quickly.

Ten propeller fighters with red five-star icons pulled a beautiful arc in the sky, and then dived downward, the crosshair in front of the pilot was aimed at a dark bunker on the ground, the thick iron pipes on both sides of the wing breathed fire under the pull of the trigger, and a 105 mm caliber six-kilogram shell was sprayed from the fighter plane's fuselage. It's like a punch hitting the earth. The bunker is overturned by explosives. Twenty warplanes flew through the sky in one round, fired twenty shells, destroyed sixteen bunkers on the hillside, and swaggered away.

These sixteen bunkers are all targets that are difficult to destroy from the angle of attack from the back. As a result, it was destroyed from the sky by fighters, and after seeing the bombing of their own warhawks, the front-line officers on the ground exclaimed to the command in the rear that it would be nice if they could fire a few more shots.

Soldiers fighting on the front line are in dire need of this kind of accurate fire support, but now the Republican fighter planes cannot reload a gun barrel in the sky, and can only fire a single shot in the barrel and leave. If you want to keep reloading and shelling in the sky for a minute or two before leaving, then you have to get the technology of the gunboat machine. The idea is too unrealistic. However, in this era, such blows are frightening enough, and for large-scale bombardment, the Republican Army prefers precision ground strikes. Don't think that the guns on the plane are dirty. Tanks are the strongest in frontal armor, and battleships are the strongest in side armor and turret armor. These large, hard-hitting war machines are the strongest against us, and once they attack from a different spatial angle, the effect is very different.

When the bunker was taken, under the cover of mortar and heavy machine-gun fire, the position erupted into even more violent sparks under the Charger. Half an hour later, a bright red flag was planted on the high ground. Air-ground integrated battle. After being beaten, Ren Di's staff began to attach importance to this tactic, and in an instant, they projected firepower from the sky to the ground in multiple directions and angles in the same time, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid it. This tactic was still a discussion of future wars in the Whampoa Military Academy of the Ming Empire. However, a large number of officers who graduated from the Aoyama Military Academy in the Republican Army began to practice on the battlefield.

In the face of such tactics, the Imperial army, which had seized the high and low, was no better, with artillery shells and machine guns falling from the sky in front of it. Twenty warplanes in the sky let out a screeching sound and fired from time to time. A large number of Imperial troops could only lie on the ground and shout: "The enemy fire is strong, it cannot be resisted", and the rapidly charging Republican army reached the position with very few losses. Then, and then it was gone, standing on the ravine, and facing the people lying on the ground: "Shout a word of surrender and don't kill." "If anyone wants to raise their head and raise their guns (usually such people are die-hard Imperial Army officers), they sweep it over, and everything is silent.

The newly captured heights quickly became the artillery positions of the Republican Army, and the artillery opened fire condescendingly from the top of the hill, and the surrounding positions fell into the hands of the Republican Army. The War Republican Army is already proficient and improving, while its opponents remain in the same old state, and even the zeal to defend the empire in the first place is gone.

The elite units of the Shaanxi Imperial Army, which were responsible for luring the enemy, were really eaten by the Republican Army.

Shaanxi's imperial army had already been defeated in East China, and now the most elite troops were in such a situation, and the other 20,000 Shaanxi imperial troops who came to take charge of the attack behaved like farmers who had just been armed. At the time of the battle, the organization of the army was several notches lower than that of the Republican Army, and when the three divisions of the Republican Army directly forced the troops over, the officers of the two parts of the Imperial Army were still gathering their troops. And then the result is surrounded by intersperses.

In the face of the republican army's tentative firepower, these farmers, who had just joined the imperial army, frantically fired their guns forward, and some bullets shot directly into the ground dozens of meters in front, leaving bullet holes on the ground. Some of them shot directly at the white clouds in the sky, because of fear, the soldiers of this army seemed to want to make up for their uneasiness by firing.

This is the normal reaction of a recruit, and this scene often appears in World War II combat videos in the United States, a country with plenty of bullets, in which the American imperialist soldier sitting in a jeep fires more than a dozen magazines in a row at the grass in the distance according to the instructions of the squad leader, and then the squad leader asks: "Soldier, have you found the enemy there?" It is precisely because of the performance of these soldiers in the wartime video that local tyrants such as Hope Country also reduced the caliber of bullets after the war. Since the biggest effect of hundreds of thousands of bullets to kill an enemy on average is to give you courage, then there is no need for full-power bullets.

World War II, the most powerful industrial state-owned enterprise with an annual output of 70 or 80 million tons of steel, engaged in firepower reconnaissance, so what about the other side? The militia of the Imperial Army on the opposite side weakened after two hours of heavy firefighting. Then when the rapid-fire mortar fire of the Republican Army covered the infantry charge, the scattered firepower could not stop the charge of the Republican Army at all, and when it reached the position, it was not killed. Immediately fell to his knees. The Republican Army captured 20,000 prisoners in the battle of Shaanxi. It completely punctured the hypocritical toughness of the Shaanxi warlords. The biggest role of the so-called tens of thousands of troops is to strengthen their courage.

Shaanxi looks like a huge army like a mantis arm as a car. The 20,000 troops were simply annihilated in the field battle, which also made everyone in Shaanxi see the situation clearly. Scenes of defeat appeared in this land, cities were liberated, and imperial armies began to surrender in formations.

Lu Ming temporarily stayed here to assist Ren Di in the Shaanxi Campaign, and after seeing this scene, he said to Ren Di suspiciously: "I said that your talent is not the spirit of Wang Ba, a year ago, these people chased me like a rabbit." ”

Ren Di said: "The natural skills of evolution are all aimed at matter, how can it be aimed at people. Ren Di looked at Xi'an, the largest city in Shaanxi, and said: "The current imperial army is no longer the imperial army of a year ago. Now all the people who fought for the Ming Dynasty are dead, and the officers on the opposite side want to be independent, and no one wants to fight for them. ”
