Chapter 14: The Capture of Hamuqi

In Hamuqi, the leader of the Three Banners is sitting in a large mansion in the middle of the city. It was once the residence of the Altai, and now it is their temporary headquarters. According to the reports of the spies ahead, the enemy stopped outside Hamuqi and did not dare to attack it, which also verified the effectiveness of their street fighting tactics. At this time, they were holding a celebration and mobilizing their forces, and the enemy army was only hesitating, always attacking, hoping to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop in the upcoming siege battle.

At this time, suddenly a staff officer whispered: "The enemy's forces are so huge and so well-equipped, but why don't you see the air force?" ”

Another staff officer said helplessly: "The gap between us and them is already big, and if they mobilize the air force again, it will be too much of a bully." Besides, we didn't have any major battles with them, and they used the air force too much. ”

The staff officer who was the first to speak, his face was slightly ugly, and he said with some worry: "It was unnecessary before, but now? If we shrink our defensive line, if their army attacks rashly, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. So now that they have stopped the army, why not attack? It's definitely waiting for reinforcements, and it's a force that can deal with us......"

Hearing his words, the faces of the leaders of the three banners, some of the generals present, and the staff officers gradually became ugly. Most of the people who can become generals are soldiers in the civilized period, and they know more about some military common sense than those soldiers, and they don't think that such an elite army on the other side will really have no air force.

Just as these generals were looking at each other, there was a "rumbling" sound in the distance, which was a unique sound of the plane's engine, and listening to this momentum, it was not something that could be produced by an airplane.

Everyone immediately ran to the window, only to see a group of black-pressed bombers gradually appearing in the clouds in the south, and the planes were slowly decreasing in altitude. At the front were 10 H-20 strategic bombers, followed by more than 30 H-6 bombers.

As the H-20 lowered and approached, the people standing in front of the window could already see its open bomb bay. The shrill sirens sounded over the entire area of Hamuqi, and the soldiers below were in a mess, like ants on a hot pot, circling on the ground. They have no anti-aircraft weapons at all, and they don't know how to deal with the current situation, and some people pick up AK-47s and shoot at fighters in the air, and whether they can hit or not, if a bomber costing tens of millions of dollars can shoot a bullet for a few dollars, it is simply a joke.

But none of these generals went down to direct the soldiers to fight, but watched with a blank stake as the bomber swarms approached as they got closer. Defeated, completely defeated, defeated without suspense, the war was doomed before it began. This is the truest thought in the hearts of all the generals now, no wonder those armies did not attack the city at all, but waited there, it turned out to call for an air strike.

With a piercing scream across the sky, bombs fell to the ground as if they had been dumped from bombers, wading like carpets from south to north. The smoke from the explosion spread throughout the city like an earthquake, and the whole city trembled with the incessant sound of explosions.

At this time, the leader of the Black Flag of the Northern Army sat back in his chair and said in a mournful voice: "Fight the white flag and surrender, so that the brothers will die less, this is simply a massacre." ”

With his order, soon a white flag was raised over the command headquarters, and fortunately, the crew, who had all focused their attention below, immediately saw this white flag. Soon the bombing stopped, and the H-20 that led the flight suddenly raised its head, and all the planes followed suit, and soon burrowed into the clouds and flew back to the south.

Gunpowder looked at the group of bombers who turned around and went back suspiciously, and said to himself, "Why didn't they blow up?" So many planes wouldn't have dropped all the bombs in such a moment, right? ”

Sequoia also looked at the bomber group flying farther and farther away in confusion, and couldn't understand it.

At this moment, a soldier ran over and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the defenders of Hamuqi have surrendered." ”

Gunpowder was overjoyed when he heard it, no wonder the bombers stopped bombing, it turned out that the enemy surrendered. Looking at the momentum of the bombers when they first started bombing, carpet bombing in the true sense of the word. After the bombing, Hamuqi will become a ghost town, you know, there are 60,000 troops in it, plus the original residents, the population of Hamuqi is now at least 100,000 or more.

If they really all died in the bombing, then Gunpowder would definitely feel guilty, and now that they are willing to surrender, this is undoubtedly the best outcome.

The most important thing is that there are 60,000 soldiers in it, although they are all militia and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but Gunpowder is confident that at least 10,000 qualified soldiers will be selected in it, and with a little training, it is a powerful force.

Soon, two groups of people walked out of the street corner of Hamuqi, one group was soldiers and the other team was civilians. All the soldiers held their guns in both hands and bowed their heads in dismay. The civilians were fine, not only did they not feel uncomfortable, but they were also a little happy, after all, since the invasion of the federal army, the good treatment of civilians has long been spread. If they hadn't lived in Hamuqi, the core area controlled by the Northern Army, it is estimated that they would have gone to join the Federal Army a long time ago.

The crowd was soon divided into two groups and stood in two phalanxes under the control of the soldiers. Federation soldiers began body searches one by one to prevent anyone from surrendering their weapons or from mixing in with the ranks of civilians posing as civilians.

From time to time, soldiers posing as civilians are caught by the federal army, and the only consequence for such dishonest surrenderers is to be shot. The soldiers who stayed in the other phalanx just looked sadly at everything in front of them, but they did not cause any commotion. The bombing just now, which seemed to destroy the world, had already scared their guts, and now they didn't even have the courage to resist.

At this time, a soldier quickly ran to the gunpowder and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, all the prisoners have been counted, a total of 32,654 civilians, 41,376 surrendered soldiers, of which 135 surrendered soldiers pretended to be civilians and were killed by our army." ”

This is war, a brutal war, just less than 3 minutes of bombing, more than 10,000 civilians, nearly 20,000 soldiers were unfortunately killed in the bombing. No wonder these troops were frightened, this was simply a disaster, and Gunpowder believed that even the Federation Army would collapse when 1/3 of them were killed in 3 minutes.
