The purpose of the shelling outside the city was expected for a long time, so only two observers were left on the southern city wall of Sanqiao County, and most of the rest were carrying sandbags to make circular fortifications, and a small number were waiting more than ten meters below the city wall...... As soon as the imp shelling is over and the imp infantry begins to attack, the fighters must immediately rush to the city wall and continue to brave the artillery fire to strike the imp infantry from top to bottom.

Combined with the ring fortifications behind the city wall, you can form an upper and lower pinch.

Of course, this is just an overly beautiful idea, since the little devil dares to attack, it is absolutely impossible to watch his infantry suffer such a big loss, let alone be helpless in such a situation.

Sure enough!

As soon as the little devil charged, the observer immediately signaled to Liu Bing, and Liu Bing immediately sent a platoon to the city wall, ready to use the height advantage to give a wave of ruthlessness to the charging little devil infantry.

However, although the little devil's artillery took a break for a while, its observers were obviously still closely observing the movement on the wall of the south city gate.

As soon as he saw someone on the city wall, the little devil observer immediately reported the situation to the artillery commander, and then, after the artillery commander only observed for a few seconds, immediately gave the order.

This time, it's not just the mountain artillery, but also the twenty small steel cannons.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The density of the shells and the amplitude of the explosion are directly proportional to the power!

The previous bombardment had shaken the foundation of this section of the city wall, and now, although the little devil artillery did not dare to aim the mountain artillery muzzle at the gap for fear of accidentally injuring their comrades, they could only aim the mountain artillery muzzle at the periphery of this big gap. However, the twenty small steel cannons are not vegetarians.

Especially with the cooperation of mountain artillery, they complement each other and are more powerful.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Mountain artillery shells cannot directly bombard the battlements of the city wall, but the small steel cannon can use the parabolic principle to hang and shoot to the inside of the battlements of the city wall.

For a time, the entire section of the city wall was full of explosions, and the sound of the explosion was deafening, and the two shells shook the mountains in complement each other, as if the entire section of the city wall was about to collapse.

"Don't even get up! Hurry, hurry, hurry......"

This is the experience of this platoon commander, or rather, at this moment, this experience can save many lives.

Judging from the posture of the little devil throwing cannonballs on the city wall as if he didn't want money, under this density of shelling, even if he hides on the city wall and doesn't understand, it is really difficult to have any more living people. Therefore, it is necessary to run under the city wall as soon as possible to be safe, or in other words, to hide in the secret passage dug up and down under the castle tower to be relatively safe.

But the problem is that you can't stand up and run directly, because under this density of shelling, even if you don't get killed directly, you will be hit by stray shrapnel flying everywhere...... Many people think that it is absolutely safe to run before the shells arrive, but the problem is that if the time is close enough, this situation is simply not possible. You know, the power of stray shrapnel is definitely not less than the damage caused by the impact of air waves. Because in the impact of the air waves, you will either die or live, and you can still be happy. can be hit by stray shrapnel, then there will be one more person who will not live, which will make people even more uncomfortable.

At this time, the most correct way is to crawl forward and take refuge in the safety as soon as possible.

Of course, at this time, being able to issue such an order in such a timely manner definitely reflects a commander's rich combat experience and Cheng Zhuo's calm mentality...... This kind of mentality and experience is definitely not something that can be learned from books, but is obtained after countless tests of life and death. Otherwise, even if there is such knowledge in the books, many people who have not been on the battlefield, even if they are bold and not directly frightened in the face of such intensive artillery bombardment, most of them will be six gods and no master - this is the most normal reaction of a new recruit.

And most importantly, it takes great courage to dare to give the order to retreat.

Because this platoon received the order to defend the city wall and cooperate with the attack of the little devil infantry, but the platoon commander understood that under such intensive artillery fire, let alone blocking and defending, even if he survived, he had to thank his ancestors for blessing, so in order to save his living force, he did not hesitate to directly disobey the original order and issued the order to retreat. For military personnel, it definitely takes a lot of courage...... Generally speaking, it is better to die than to retreat, either to sacrifice oneself for a greater value, such as to protect the safe transfer of people, or to retreat without retreat. However, as it is now, it has not reached the point where there is no way back, so if you don't retreat, it will be a little worthless.

In fact, all the officers and men of the first battalion confirmed the old saying: "If a soldier is a bear, he will be a nest of bears, and what kind of commander will bring out what kind of soldiers!"

Liu Bing is proud to the core, with him as the battalion commander as an example, there is no need to say much about what kind of personality all the commanders and fighters of the first battalion are.

Therefore, when the little devil's mountain cannon and the small steel cannon shells hit at the same time, Liu Bing regretted and felt sad in his heart: What he regretted was that he never expected that the little devil would be willing to exert such great strength, and on the premise of blowing up a gap in the city wall, in order to cooperate with the attack of the infantry, he actually threw cannonballs on the city wall as if he didn't need money. I knew that the little devil was so crazy in order to capture this section of the city wall, so why did he send this platoon up? Wouldn't it be better to save this platoon and play a greater role in street fighting?

The heartache is naturally the sacrifice of this platoon, which makes Liu Bing feel very unworthy...... As a commander, especially an arrogant commander, Liu Bing naturally knew when to avoid the fearless sacrifices of the soldiers as much as possible, and when to fill in the lives of the soldiers and himself without mercy. The key point is whether it's worth it or not.

Now, Liu Bing feels that the sacrifice of this platoon is not worth it, so he is both heartbroken and regretful.

Soon, however, he saw a group of warriors emerge from the staircase below the gatehouse.

Counting carefully, twenty-one were complete, and four were wounded and helped down by their comrades.

One twenty-five people!

However, there are forty-one people in this platoon!

In other words, just going up and walking around like this, it didn't play any role at all, and under the bombardment of the little devils, sixteen soldiers were sacrificed.

At this moment, Liu Bing's face was ugly, even faintly pale, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.

It wasn't until these soldiers came to him, silently saluted him, and then, standing quietly in a row in front of him, did Liu Bing slowly release his fist.

"Battalion commander, I didn't carry out the order, you can shoot me!"

Liu Bing looked at him, then at all the soldiers in this platoon, patted the platoon commander on the shoulder, and said, "Come on! Three days later, he was the deputy company commander of the second company and the platoon commander of this platoon. ”

Everyone knew in their hearts that with Liu Bing's arrogance, being able to make such a seemingly contradictory order in front of his subordinates was equivalent to admitting his own mistakes. Therefore, the punishment for this platoon commander is because the military regulations are there, and this platoon commander has indeed disobeyed the military order. And the promotion is also because this platoon commander was able to judge the situation and decisively disobey the previous order, saving the lives of most of the soldiers in this platoon, which is a great achievement.

From this point of view, Liu Bing obviously approves of this platoon commander's approach...... Of course, if you want to change the environment, change the mission without such a dangerous thing, if you dare to learn from this platoon commander, then Liu Bing will definitely shoot you directly unceremoniously, and even do it himself. This is one of the characteristics of arrogance, and it is also the best explanation for the soldier's duty to obey orders.

The shelling of the little devils continued, and the two observers kept passing the news to Liu Bing behind the city wall.

When the little devil infantry was only 100 meters away from the entrance of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others had already built all the temporary ring fortifications composed of sandbags.

When the little devil infantry was only fifty meters away from the entrance of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others had already entered the ring fortifications or pillboxes that they had set up in advance.

When the little devil infantry was only about twenty meters away from the mouth of the city wall, Liu Bing and the others were already in full battle, just waiting for Liu Bing's order, they could have a happy fight with the little devil, and let the little devil taste the power of the first battalion of the assault regiment.

The closer the little devils got to the big hole in the wall, the more excited they became, as if they had already won. In particular, the few little devils who have begun to climb up the pile of rubble nearly two meters high and rushed to the front almost feel that they are heroes, and they are role models for everyone to follow, and they will definitely be promoted when they go back......

However, as the saying goes, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"

In the eyes of these little devils who rushed to the front, they basically won the next game, and they will definitely glorify their ancestors because they are the first to rush into the city. However, when they excitedly climbed up the two-meter-high pile of rubble and saw the situation inside the city wall, a huge blow like five thunderbolts made them all stunned.

So much so that these little devils all looked at them blankly, opening their mouths wide, as if they were about to shout something, but they never shouted a word.

What do they see?

Oh my God! There were more than twenty more ring fortifications in front of them, and more importantly, the muzzles of the guns sticking out of these ring fortifications and the fronts they were facing were all aimed at this big gap. But the problem is that the previous reconnaissance reports have said that there are no fortifications built by the enemy in this area, so how did the enemy do all this in a short period of time, from scratch? This is absolutely a miracle!

This huge shock and sudden drop are extremely unadaptable, and it is inevitable to be hit...... Of course, this is just a mental blow, or a morale blow.

However, the mental blow to these little devils only lasted for a maximum of a second, and then, the physical blow came.

"Hit!"

......
