The Jungger Mongol soldiers in the Xingxing Gorge were completely desperate, and from dawn they saw Liao soldiers marching in the distance.

The first to arrive was the Liao army on bicycles, horses that did not need to be fed, and sped along the road in poor condition. It was the first time that the Mongols had seen this kind of thing that could be ridden on only two wheels. Seeing the speed of the Liao soldiers' ride, the telescope almost fell to the ground.

He was followed by a large group of migrant workers. These migrant workers rode tricycles and filled in the potholes on the road with stones and earth. I saw a large stone and knew to move to the side of the road.

These guys, like hard-working worker ants, have filled in a hole. Then I filled in the next one, and a pothole-ridden road that could only be used for bicycles was quickly filled in into a large road.

There is little rain in the northwest, and even in spring, there will not be much rain. This road that has been rested can be held on until Qingming.

The Jungar Mongol defenders in Xingxing Gorge could not hold out to Qingming, and their supplies were sent in units of half a month. Ten days have passed since the last replenishment. Even if the supply is reduced, it will only last for another ten days at most.

Ten days ......! The news of the siege of Xingxing Gorge may not reach the Ili River Valley.

"Boss! You see......! The Mongol soldier in charge of the lookout quickly ran out of cover, panicked as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's the panic? The Great Khan will send someone to save us. He said it, but Nayae's heart was already in turmoil.

Grabbing the lookout's binoculars, Nayae ran to the highest point of the Star Gorge in three steps and two steps. As soon as I lifted the telescope, my hands trembled.

Along the main road, there were dense Liao troops and many horse-drawn artillery carriages. The procession meandered along the road, like a giant serpent in the wilderness, spreading from the front of the eyes to the horizon.

After fighting with the Liao army for so many years, it was the first time for Nayae to see so many Liao army troops. When Nayae saw dozens of heavy rocket launchers, his legs and stomach were a little tendoned.

Li Xiao rode on a white war horse, which was very majestic, but the clothes on his body were not good. The camouflage uniform has no sense of ceremony, and it does not have the armor of the ancient generals. Li Xiao is very similar to the white dragon horse under his crotch, holding a bright silver spear, killing seven in and seven out of a million army.

The silver gun Zhao Zilong couldn't do it, so he could only wear camouflage uniforms and follow the army like a turtle. Now this outfit is not much different from an ordinary soldier.

"To break the canyon like this, you still need to take action personally?" Ao Canghai took out a small silver wine jug and took a sip!

This product has recently developed the habit of drinking wine, and it is said that it was Sister Qiao who made a female power to let Ao Ye carry this thing that he called sweet water. Li Xiao didn't stop it, this place in the Western Regions was in summer, and the weather was dry and hot. The drinking water stored in the skin is very perishable, but the wine is not easy to breed bacteria because of its alcohol content, but it can also be kept from rotting.

"Star Gorge! The gateway to the Western Regions, kick open this door, and we can go to the Ili River Valley. The terrain was steep, and the Mongols built a large number of fortifications along the mountain. You have a temperament, and you are brutal for a while, and I don't know how many people will die.

They are all veterans of our Liao army, and I feel sorry for one of them. Let's come on, people can die less. Li Xiao didn't even look at Ao Ye, and thought about it on the side.

"That hurts! How can I say that after so many years of fighting, I am so like a rammer? Li Xiao's words aroused Ao Ye's dissatisfaction.

"Like!"

"You're ......!" Ao Ye was so angry that he poured another big sip of wine.

By noon, the Liao army had surrounded the periphery of Xingxing Gorge. Without Li Xiao, not a single bird in the Star Gorge would have been able to fly over.

At 1:10 p.m., the 155-mm howitzers on the positions of the Liao army began to fire. The bunkers exposed by the Mongol soldiers were knocked out one by one. They are all reinforced concrete bunkers, and when a cannonball goes down, it explodes like a can. The smoke cleared, and the ruins of the ruined bunkers were occasionally seen with fragments of corpses.

The Mongols also tried to counterattack, but the heavy rocket artillery in their hands did not have the same range as the howitzers. A salvo exploded into dust and filled with gunsmoke, which was very terrifying, but after the gunpowder smoke cleared, it was found that not even a single hair of the Liao army had touched.

In just over 20 minutes, the surface positions on the top of Sheephorn Mountain at the forefront of Xingxing Gorge were all blown up by shells one by one. The whistle sounded, and the infantry began to charge.

There were 1,000 Japanese soldiers, and they trotted with rifles with bayonets higher than theirs. Li Xiao felt that if two fart curtains were added to the back of his head, he would be very similar to the ghost soldiers in the movie.

That's right, too! This is the ancestor of the devil soldiers!

In Qinhuangdao, the Japanese soldiers received a month-long training in the most basic tactics. Li Xiao never planned to build them into elite soldiers, and in Li Xiao's eyes, these Japanese soldiers had only one important purpose - cannon fodder.

It is distressing that his own soldiers are used as cannon fodder, but the Japanese soldiers do not have this concern.

Seeing the leader Maori Kogoro rushing to the front with a command knife, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that these grandsons still don't know the power of modern warfare, and there was once a strict order in the Liao army that strictly forbade officers to take the lead in charging.

You must know that the Liao army trains a company and platoon-level officer, not only to serve in the Liao army for three years. After the selection, there are three more years of study in the military academy. After six years of enlistment, he is eligible to be a platoon commander.

From platoon commander to company commander, I have to work for a few more years.

Especially in recent years, the Liao army has gradually moved towards the path of regularization. The former half-year cadet class has become extinct, and the gold content of the Liao army officers is getting higher and higher.

Sure enough, although the surface positions were blown up. But in the hidden tunnel on the mountain beam, a lot of Mongolian soldiers suddenly came out. They skillfully jumped into trenches and various field fortifications, and fired at the Japanese soldiers with rifles.

I have to admit that the marksmanship of the Mongolian soldiers is quite accurate. At a distance of 100 meters, the marksmanship is frighteningly accurate. After the jagged gunfire, dozens of people actually fell.

The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain returned fire with rifles "crackling", but not a single Mongolian soldier was killed. The Mongols were lying in the trenches, which was convenient for aiming. The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to hold their guns and shoot, and this accuracy can be imagined......!

More than a dozen wheelbarrows were pushed out and came behind the soldiers. The sound of the Maxim machine gun rang out, and the dense bullets formed a wall of bullets. The Mongol soldiers were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and as long as they raised their heads, they would be shot in the head by bullets flying in the sky.

Dozens of tricycles followed by the Maxim heavy machine guns, and the gunners unloaded the mortars from the tricycles, put up the gun shields and began to calculate. They are all veterans of the Liao army, and some people have been playing mortars for ten years.

One hand is stretched out, the thumb is raised high, and then the sand is slowly leaking out. A series of numbers blurted out, and the gunners hurriedly adjusted the rulers. The shell is thrown into the chamber, and then the sound of "bang" and "bang" can be heard.

The Mongol positions on the heights were immediately filled with gunsmoke and flew horizontally, and the shells of these veterans were so accurate that some of them simply fell directly into the trenches from the sky. The explosion swept the Mongolian soldiers out at once!

Howitzers in the distance were not idle, and lookouts held binoculars and observed the positions on the opposite side. The green smoke from the mortar cannon was found, and the coordinates were immediately calculated. In just a minute or two, 120 mm shells whistled out of the chamber.

The howitzer has a curved trajectory and plays parabola. The effectiveness of strikes against point targets is quite good, and the power of a 120-millimeter shell is so powerful that even shrapnel will not hit you if a shell explodes. Anyone within 10 meters will be shocked to death, even if you are hiding in a trench.

The mortars of the Mongols became a mortal. When you fire a shell, you will be named by someone's howitzer. Some mortars were still placed in two or three together, and as a result, they were killed by one shell.

After playing a few times, the Mongol artillerymen simply threw down their positions and ran back. This battle can't go on, and firing a cannon is not much different from sending someone to death.

As the opponent's firepower weakened, some Liao soldiers carrying red crosses on their backs drove to the front of the two armies. Seeing the wounded Japanese soldiers who had not lost their breath, they threw them on the carriage without saying a word. As soon as the carriage turned around, it pulled the wounded soldiers and rushed to the field hospital more than ten miles away.

The Mongols were completely overwhelmed by the firepower of the Liao army, and they had to burrow into the bunker. Shoot from inside the hole!

Mori Kogoro felt a bullet and flew past his steel helmet, and the powerful air currents carried him to his head. The attendant next to him was just about to help him, but a bullet passed through his head accurately. Brains and blood sprayed Mori Kogoro in the face!

Mori Kogoro wiped a handful of brains and blood from his face and spat on it.

"Charge!" Even though he knew it was silly to hold a command knife, Mori Kogoro still rushed forward with the knife.

When his subordinates saw him so brave, they immediately came to their senses. One by one, they walked on their little short legs and struggled to climb the mountain. Climb into the trench and poke the Mongol soldier with a bayonet when he sees it.

Putting down the binoculars, Li Xiao pouted helplessly. This is the way the poor army fights, and when the Liao army encounters this situation, it is to pull a grenade and count two and then throw it into the trench.

For the Japanese soldiers, grenades are a good thing. When they were in the Wa Kingdom, they had to be the flag book before they could carry a few when they were fighting.

Of course, if it is a field unit of the Liao army. They will be farther away, shelling with grenadiers. This thing is safer than a grenade.

After an hour of fighting, the hill took one. No less than 200 wounded soldiers were brought back, and all the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying on the battlefield were estimated to be more than 100.

I have to say that as long as these Japanese soldiers fight, the spirit of the two poles will explode. That's how dare you play with your life!

The hill was taken down, but it was only a superficial position. The Mongols also built tunnels and fully underground bunkers underneath the surface positions. It is estimated that there will be tunnels between the bunkers.

This is a troublesome matter, cleaning the tunnels one by one, not to mention the time and effort, and it is easy to have a large number of casualties. Although the Japanese soldiers are cannon fodder, they can't be so bad.

Cao Wenzhao's method of dealing with it was simple and rude, and he sent people to find the mouth of the tunnel. As soon as it is discovered, it is immediately blown up with explosives. After a dozen rumbling sounds, all the tunnel mouths on the hill were blown up.

As for whether the people in the tunnel will suffocate to death, or whether they have an escape route, this is not within Cao Wenzhao's consideration.

In the telescope, Nayae saw the destruction of his most elite 300 men. These are all veterans under him, and they are not only accurate marksmanship, but also very good at marksmanship. He also thought about letting the Liao army run into a bag on the first small hill. Unexpectedly, they won it in just an hour and a half.

On my side, I don't even have a chance to support.

Airships are circling in the sky, and as long as people are exposed, bombs will fall. The big bomb exploded and the ground collapsed, and the air wave almost suffocated Nayae in the bunker a few hundred meters away.

One can imagine the fate of those reinforcements.

"It's too slow! If such a mountain is knocked down one by one, we will waste seven or eight days here. Li Xiao looked at his watch, and it took an hour and a half to conquer the advantageous terrain and fortified positions, and the infantry and artillery were closely coordinated. It can be called a textbook battle, but Li Xiao feels that it is still a little too slow. If the Liao army is replaced, the attack speed can be almost half an hour faster.

"Why don't you let me go?" As long as there is a battle, Ao Ye's eyes will glow.

The First Division is the natural boss of the Liao Army, and the ranking of combat effectiveness is also the boss, and of course it is also the most arrogant unit. The reason why he is so arrogant is because he has a strong backing behind him.

"No need! This battle is for the Star Gorge guards to see, if they resist stubbornly, they will either be killed or buried alive. If you don't want to die, there is only one way to go. In this way, we will be able to pass through the Star Gorge tomorrow. ”

"Waste that energy! If you call it, you'll be done. "Ao Ye knows that Li Xiao will do this when he says so. Moreover, 90% of the certainty will succeed. In fact, in terms of fighting, Li Xiao has not missed a move since his debut.

"Be considerate of your brothers, they will have to fight with their lives. Look at the soldiers who have their legs broken by landmines, and they will never be able to stand up again in their lives. I'm afraid no one can count exactly how many mines are buried in this Star Gorge. You don't want to walk with a wrong foot and lose a leg. Li Xiao pointed to the field tent, the Japanese soldiers who were in pain and grabbed the ground.

Doctors in the army are performing surgeries, most of them amputations.

Landmines are very vicious weapons, and because of the charge, they generally do not kill people after exploding. But half of the person who was blown up is also finished! The only way is to amputate the limb.

"Can they surrender?"

"Just send a captive to ask, Xingxing Town was occupied by Nie Dahu, and Hami in the distance was also occupied by Man Ye and Ge Ritu. There is no way back for them! ”
