"The Ming army, it's going to attack!"

The first rays of sunlight shone on the face of an Annan rebel who had been staring at him all night, and just wanted to yawn and squint at him, but inadvertently skimmed to the bottom of the three mountains, and his body shivered violently, and he was so shocked that his hair stood upside down.

At the foot of the mountain, groups of Ming soldiers lined up neatly, they wiped the weapons in their hands, and looked at the hill with blazing eyes.

The reason why the Ming army's eyes are blazing is not because they have any habits, but in the Ming military merit regulations, the rebels belong to the first-class enemy, and according to the reward and punishment system, the head of a rebel can be exchanged for one or two silvers.

One or two pieces of silver are almost worth a month's worth of their money, if they cut a few more, they can not only subsidize the family, but also accept a few little melon girls.

Thinking of what the brothers over there of the old Shenji Battalion said, how gentle and obedient the girls of the gourd were, many soldiers were in a commotion.

Now the girls of the Han family are really difficult to marry, mainly because the bride price is too expensive, and they can't afford the expensive bride price.

It's also not cost-effective for them, after all, for the same amount of money, the Han family girl can only marry one, and she can't beat or scold, she has to lick her face all day long to please, and she has a lot of grievances in those days.

And foreign women are different, the same money can buy several, they want to beat and scold, and toss as much as they want.

Even if they are all called a bed, these foreign girls will not only not be angry, but will happily agree.

Thinking of a few hot foreign ladies lying in the bed and letting them toss, the soldiers felt a commotion in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to take the money now and go to the government to exchange for foreign girls.

Therefore, the current Wehrmacht soldiers, as long as they hear about the war, are all very excited.

"All on alert!"

An angry roar sounded in the cottage, and the Annan rebels who were nervously watching outside, when they heard the sound, they looked back, and saw a polite and tired man, holding the sword in his waist, and rushed over quickly.

"The Grand Duke!"

"Meet the Grand Duke!"

When the man arrived, the surrounding soldiers and officers hurriedly saluted him.

This man is none other than the leader of the rebel army of Annam, who proclaimed himself the governor of Annam.

Ignoring the surrounding soldiers and officers, Li Li ran behind the wooden wall with a serious expression and quickly observed the situation at the foot of the mountain.

"It is worthy of the Ming army, and they are all elites, if they want to win, I am afraid they will have to fight hard."

After observing behind the wooden wall for a while, and seeing that the Ming army really put on an offensive posture, Li Li couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time looked at the neat line of Ming troops with envious eyes.

Li Li couldn't help but think in his heart, if he had such an elite, it was estimated that the whole world would prostrate at his feet.

It's a pity that fantasy is fantasy after all, and he still has to return to reality in the current situation.

"Inform all troops to prepare for defense, and once the Ming army attacks, give me a hard blow, and tell the soldiers that persistence is victory."

"The Ming army came from afar, and the supply of grain and grass depended on the country, and I have made arrangements, as long as we hold on, there will be problems with the logistics supply of the Ming army, and the victory will be ours at that time."

"Annan will not forget the merits of everyone present, and on the day of his victory, I will share the wealth with my brothers."

"Yes!"

The officer behind him answered, and turned to convey Li Li's order.

Soon the various defense points remembered the shout of the Grand Governor.

Listening to the imposing shouts in his ears, the corners of Li Li's mouth were slightly hooked.

He didn't believe that in such an easy and difficult place to defend and difficult to attack, Daming had only 50,000 or 60,000 people who could break through his defense.

That is, he has seen the ferocity of the Ming army, otherwise in the Song Dynasty, Li Li would directly lead the troops to rush down and slash and kill.

You must know that he now has 100,000 people to fight with, although half of them are people, but Li Li doesn't think that the people of Annan will be much worse than the people of Daming.

Therefore, he was very confident that he would hold this mountainous area and wait for the opportunity to counterattack in one fell swoop in the future.

Li Li has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and often regarded himself as a Confucian general, and has repeatedly threatened that if he was born at the wrong time, if he was born more than ten years earlier, it would be him who swept the Meng Yuan to unify the whole world, not a beggar who asked for food.

When the Ming army arrived yesterday, Li Li thought about taking advantage of its exhaustion to attack a wave and frustrate the spirit of the Ming army.

As a result, as soon as they came out of the cottage, the enemy's powerful artillery smashed down with their heads and faces.

The Fourth Army Corps led by Zhang Xian is not an ordinary national defense force, it is known as the elite of the Ming elite, and any unit that can get the top 5 is not good.

As the five most elite legions of the Ming Dynasty, its army configuration is naturally different from other troops.

In addition to the fact that most half of the Fourth Army was equipped with third-generation rifles, it was also equipped with 150 new infantry guns of 85 calibers, as well as new Tiger squat guns of various squadrons.

This round of artillery was fired, and it was impossible to carry the lobster soldiers over, let alone Annan, a rebel unit that lacked equipment.

Li Li sent 8,000 men to attack, but under a burst of artillery bombardment, more than 2,000 people were directly killed and wounded, and the rest were frightened and retreated in embarrassment.

The first sortie was blocked, Li Li was not discouraged, in the middle of the night, he took advantage of the dark and high wind, and sent more than 2,000 people out, intending to attack the Ming army camp.

This time, 2,000 people went out, but there were still two miles away from the Ming army camp, and I don't know what his subordinates were unlucky enough to step on, and then a burst of explosions sounded, and hundreds of people were killed and injured in a few strokes that could not breathe.

It was originally a sneak attack, and there was such a big movement, so it was naturally impossible to go, and the Annan rebels retreated in embarrassment.

After two consecutive sorties of defeats, Li Li understood that the Ming army had long been guarding against them.

Later, he thought about it and felt that it was, after all, his art of war was learned from the Ming Dynasty, and the master was better than the apprentice, which was normal.

After two failures, Li Li didn't play any tricks anymore, and simply stuck to the cottage, waiting for the opportunity he was looking forward to.

"Bump Bump Bump..."

Time passed slowly, and both sides were ready to defend and attack, and when the time reached the end of the hour, there was a sudden sound in the eastern sky.

The Annan rebels, who were on full alert, heard this voice and subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

At this glance, the whole camp was silent.

In the eastern sky in the distance, five behemoths obscured the rising sun, with terrifying shadows, slowly pressing towards the cottage.

"What the hell is that? Kunpeng? ”

Li Li, who thought he was knowledgeable, stared at the five huge objects floating in the sky, his face full of dazed and frightened.

Li Li was at a loss, and his soldiers were even more embarrassed.

There were those who thought that this was a fierce beast sent by heaven, and one by one they threw away their weapons in fear, and lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, asking the gods to forgive their sins.

There are those who are not superstitious, but timid, looking at the huge thing that covers the entire sky, their legs can't help but tremble, and even some of their trouser legs are already wet.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins!"

The Annan rebels were terrified in their hearts, but the Ming army assembled next to the barracks at the foot of the mountain was demoralized.

A mighty Ming soldier, looking at the five huge airships slowly floating in the east, excitedly raised the weapons in his hands, slapped the armor on his body, and cheered loudly at the sky.

These soldiers had all participated in the big military parade, and when they first saw the airship, they were deeply shocked by it.

Any creature bigger than oneself will have a sense of fear in its heart, let alone this magical thing that can float in the air.

After the parade, many soldiers were discussing in private, how terrifying is this huge thing flying in the sky?

When attacking, hit the head with a bang, or sit down from the sky with a butt and sit the enemy to death.

It's a pity that for more than a year, there has been no news of this thing's power, and many soldiers are looking forward to it.

Now, they finally saw the beast make a move, and they had seen it with their own eyes, which made their hearts excited and excited.

"Daming Air Force Airship Regiment, report to the commander, the whole army is ready for bombing, waiting for your order!"

On the command platform, Zhang Xian, who was the commander-in-chief of the attack, received a report from the airship commander from the small radio station beside him.

He was also looking up at the sky, hearing the sonorous and powerful report on the radio, and his majestic face showed a smile.

In fact, don't look at this guy so determined on the surface, in fact, he is nervous and yelling excitedly.

The first time he commanded such a large corps to fight, the first time he was the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and the first time he commanded the first operation of the airship unit, as a general of the younger generation, Zhang Xian still felt a little proud in his heart.

That is, in order to maintain the majesty of the commander, if he had been transferred to Jianghuai's position, he would have commanded the troops below to prepare for the attack, and he would have yelled at the sky with a helmet or weapon like a soldier.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, Zhang Xian glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting under the parasol next to him, drinking tea and eating snacks, and in the calmest tone, he picked up the microphone and ordered:

"The command has received, divided into two echelons, to bomb the enemy's positions A and B, and open an offensive route for the ground offensive forces!"

"The Airship Legion has received it, and now the bombardment of the enemy's positions has begun, please ground legion soldiers, do not attack until the bombardment is over, so as to prevent accidental injury to friendly troops!"

Today's airships, however, do not have precise sights, and fly completely above the enemy's head and drop the bombs fixed on the shelves.

As for whether you can hit the enemy, it all depends on luck.

If the friendly forces chase too closely and the wind is a little stronger, the bombs may drift on their heads.

It is precisely because of this that the commander of the airship legion said not to get too close.

"Got it, after the bombardment is over, the ground forces are attacking!"

Zhang Xian replied and patted the communication soldier beside him.

The signal corps immediately understood and began to adjust the radio station, adjusting the individual channels to all channels.

"Attention to all legions, I am Zhang Xian, the deputy general of the counterinsurgency corps, and now I command the legions to fight, and the legions are ready to attack and wait for the attack order!"

"Fourth Legion received!"

"Eighty-first Legion received!"

"Eighty-second Legion received!"

“………………………………”

With Zhang Xian's order, he soon received reports from several regiments.

Zhang Xian will command the battle, and the Fourth Army will be temporarily led by the deputy commander.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu..."

The demonic sound of the three collapses kept echoing in the sky, and the five huge airships, two two and one divided into three arrays, slowly floated to the approximate designated position under the gaze of more than 60,000 Wehrmacht soldiers below and countless Annan rebels on the opposite side.

"I have arrived at the bombing area, the No. 4 airship and the No. 5 airship bombed point A, the No. 2 and No. 3 bombed point B, and my No. 1 boat started to operate as a supplementary bombing!"

"No. 4 and No. 5 received, No. 2 and No. 3 understood!"

Under everyone's gaze, in the fear of the Annan rebels, the four airships were divided into two squads and slowly hovered in two locations of the Annan cottage.

These two positions were determined by several army commanders last night after discussing overnight.

Based on the observations of the spies and the combined power of their bombs, they selected the weak points of the two enemies and carried out a breakthrough attack.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, they're stones, as long as we hide it, it's fine!"

As soon as the four airships flew to the designated position, the Annam rebels who were below blew up their nests.

Originally, they were afraid of this thing, and they were praying in their hearts to attack the others, but they didn't expect the bad luck to fly on their heads.

The airship stopped and their tense heartstrings broke instantly, and the rebels, who had already been frightened by the airship, threw away the weapons in their hands, turned around and ran away with a wolf howl.

If the opponent is a human, they still have the courage to fight, but this thing is so big, and it is still flying in the air, they just want to fight hard, and they have no chance.

Seeing the soldiers fleeing, although the officers were also terrified, they could only grit their teeth to stop the soldiers who were about to flee and let them return to the defensive position.

And in order to reassure these brave soldiers, they also very naively said that the bombs hanging on the iron shelves were stones.

As the officers stopped and reassured, some of the soldiers stopped fleeing in disbelief and slowly returned to the defensive position.

It wasn't the return of the rebel soldiers in Annam, or the prestige of the officers, that made them listen to each other's words and stop.

If it weren't for the overseer team behind, the bright arrow would have missed, and the ghost would have cared about these officers.

Stones, fuck your stones!

"Shoot the arrows!"

After driving the fleeing soldiers back to their positions, a high-ranking general, sweating on his face, ordered the archers behind him to fire arrows at the airship hovering in the sky.

It's a pity that his idea is too naïve.

The airship hovers at an altitude of 300 meters in the air, not to mention the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers, even if the siege crossbow is transferred, it is estimated that it will be enough to deal with the airship.

As expected, the rain of arrows flew into the air and made a bend, and they all fell to the ground, and some of them almost fell on their own heads.

"Bastard, you can't use a little force, just shoot flies with your little force!"

Seeing that the arrow was missing, Li Li, who had already been hiding far away, pointed in the direction of the archer and cursed.

"Yo, dare you tease me!"

Li Li scolded loudly, and the commander of the airship standing on the No. 1 airship made a mocking joke.

Pick up the intercom and tune into the public channel.

"Hey, the old hen hasn't gone down, let's go back to breakfast after we get it quickly, there are big meat buns today!"

"Go down, go down, it's over in a minute!"

"Haha, our Air Force food is good, every day sea cucumber abalone big meat buns, I have grown fat when I eat it!"

As soon as I heard that there was a big meat bun, there was a cheerful response on the walkie-talkie.

Perhaps it was the reason why the Air Force was bored in the air for a long time, and there were few people around to talk, so these guys seized the opportunity to talk, and they all chatted happily.

The commander of the No. 1 airship, who didn't care about the chats of his subordinates, casually put the walkie-talkie aside, picked up the binoculars, pasted them on the observation window, and began to observe the bombing effect.

The old hen is the nickname of the bombardier.

Because the current airship does not have an automatic bomb dropping device, the bombs are hung on the shelves under the airship pod, and when the bomb is dropped, the bombardier needs to go down and operate it manually.

In the commander's telescope, hovering under the four airships in the designated positions, four bombardiers with ropes around their waists, large cotton jackets on their bodies, and large cotton caps on their heads, climbed down the ladder from the pods to the shelves.

Tie Zhu snorted his hand, and after his hand was a little warm, he quickly checked whether the manual bomb dropping device was in working condition.

As a child in the mountains, Tiezhu has climbed high and low since he was a child, and he often climbs even hundreds of meters old trees, so he does not have the fear of heights of people in the plains.

When the airship unit was selected, the main observation was the fear of heights.

After all, no matter how good you are, you can't do the Air Force if you're afraid of heights.

Because he was illiterate, he could not do those driving and repair jobs that required knowledge, so he could only work as a bombardier with little technical content.

But he is also studying hard, and he also wants that one day in the future, he can become the pilot of the airship, and then drive the airship, return to his hometown, visit his father, and let his father and mother show his face fiercely in front of relatives and friends.

The airship unit has a benefit, each pilot can drive the airship back to his hometown at the designated time, and glorify his ancestors.

This kind of welfare, in addition to the importance of the imperial court to pilots, is more important to attract those who have knowledge and ambition to join the air force, expand the strength of the air force, and reserve more talents for the air force.

There is no way, the Air Force is a technical branch, and it is not something that can be done with strength and courage, and the learning of all kinds of knowledge required in it is not as easy as taking a test.

People with this kind of learning ability, when faced with the choice of the Air Force and becoming an officer, the vast majority of people will choose to become an officer, rather than to be a stinky hill.

Therefore, in order to attract people from the imperial court, the newly formed air force is also out of the way, and for the sake of talents, it is not necessary to have any face at all.

"Report to the captain, everything is normal with the bomb dropper, and it can drop bombs at any time!"

After checking to make sure that there was no problem, Tie Zhu picked up the walkie-talkie hanging around his neck and made a final report before dropping the bomb.

"The bombing begins!"

Having received confirmation, the captain did not hesitate and directly gave the order to bomb.

The iron pillar that received the order pulled the handle next to him hard, and the five bombs that had been pulled open by him just now fell with a roar.

"Chirp!"

The big-headed cannonball fell rapidly, and the small propeller behind it, driven by the wind, rotated rapidly and made a sharp whistling.

"Ahhh......h

The soldiers of Annan who were hiding below, after being forced back by the overseers and officers, were already unstable and could collapse at any time.

The screeching sound of the falling shells became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Some Annan soldiers who had a nervous breakdown, regardless of the pull of their partners next to them and the roar of the officers, rushed back crazy with their heads in their hands.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Five shells weighing 200 pounds smashed heavily on the wooden defensive structure.

The defensive front, which was originally quite strong, was bombarded by 5 shells, and turned into a tofu scum project, with wooden walls and trenches crumbling one after another.

The Annan soldiers who couldn't stand the devastation and fled were divided into several sections by the shrapnel scattered everywhere and the powerful shock wave of gunpowder before they could run a few steps.

The Annam rebels who did not run and hid under the curtain wall trenches did not end much better, either being crushed to death by falling wood and stones, or buried underneath by the bombed earth.

"The two bombs are offset, fly forward another 5 meters!"

The captain of the Iron Pillar, looking at the bombing below, noticed that two bombs had flown out of the enemy's position, and immediately ordered the airship to move forward a little.

Airship bombs are very expensive, and the cost of each bomb is almost equal to its weight.

The two that were lost were not iron lumps, they were 400 taels of silver for white flowers.

It's a pity that these losers, a negligent one, wasted like this.

As the airship moved slowly, the bombardier Tie Zhu also listened to the captain's order, constantly pulling the handle, throwing bombs one after another towards the Annan position below.

The Annan position below has become a little girl blocked by gangsters in the corner at this time, and she has no ability to resist and is allowed to be ravaged by others.

One bomb after another, in the excitement and roar of the Ming army waiting for the attack at the foot of the mountain, smashed into the enemy's position.

"Whoa!"

With the sound of chains, the last row of shells was dropped.

Ignoring the situation below, Tie Zhu took care of the finishing work, hummed a little song and thought about the big meat bun in the canteen and climbed into the cabin, and followed his teammates back to breakfast in the airship.

Their attack is over, and the next thing is to hand over to the army brothers on the ground, and as for whether they will come to bomb later, it will be up to them to wait for orders from above.

But these are not important to Tiezhu, the most important thing now is to go back to breakfast and eat big meat buns.

Each airship carries 30 bombs, and 4 airships carry 120.

Such a ferocious bombing, not to mention the wooden and stone defense system of Annan, even some defensive positions during World War II, dare not guarantee that they can withstand it.

After the bombardment, the two designated offensive positions of A and B no longer had the appearance they had at the beginning, and there were huge craters and stump fragments everywhere.

"Beep beep..."

Before the smoke of the explosion had cleared, a whistle sounded at the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers of the 4th Regiment in the front row of the regiment, under the command of their respective officers, raised their bayonet rifles and launched an offensive formation.

Under the cover of the rear artillery, they slowly approached the enemy's position, and when the artillery stopped, they rushed forward to reap the fruits of victory.

ps: Happy New Year to the brothers one day in advance! By the way, I also wish myself a happy new year, we'll see you next year, I'm going out to have a good time!
