Chapter 598: Street Fighting
The southern guard on the city wall was a little confused.
Daming, this is the eye of the sky?
Controlling the range of their own artillery so much, how did they know that the range of the artillery in the pass city was less than 500 paces - in the previous engagement, because of the arrangement of the troops of Banlang in Suvana, the position of the artillery has been far behind, although they have also shelled the Ming position, but because the artillery is hidden behind, the range is not exposed.
It is impossible for the Ming to know the specific range of their artillery.
The Ming should be inertial that their artillery is the same as their Tiger Squat Cannon, and the range is about 1,000 paces.
Soon, the guard came to his senses.
Secret agents!
In the confrontation of nearly two years, Daming must have infiltrated a lot of details.
After all, Daming established Nanjin Yiwei in Jiaozhi.
Under the city wall, Zhang Mao got out of the tank, stood next to the cannon barrel with a big grin, and said to Mu Cong, who was also painting a gourd next to him: "At this time, no artillery has been fired, and the information of Nanjin Yiwei is too accurate!" ”
Mu Cong laughed, "It's all about using money to open the way, not to mention anything else, today we should be able to meet the Jiangnan who wants to be my Ming Dynasty to be a rich Nanzhang general." ”
Those who know the times are Junjie.
Moreover, there is more than one high-level general who has been infiltrated by Nanjin Yiwei, and there are also some middle-level and low-level generals, and you will know that today's siege battle is over.
At that time, there will be many people who choose to surrender when it is not a desperate situation......
Nan Jin Yiwei had already given the list to Mu Cong, and these people would not be killed.
Zhang Mao glanced back, "The formation has been set up, start?" ”
Mu Cong's hands were already itching, and when he heard this, he immediately drilled into the tank, he was the machine gun combatant of that tank today, and when the tank entered the city, it was the time for him to feel the lethality of the king of land warfare.
Zhang Mao returned to the tank and immediately fired the first shot.
There was a loud bang.
Rubble and mud were splashed everywhere on the southern wall of the city, and countless "needle" shaped "bullets" were fired wildly to increase the range of damage of the flowering bullets.
Within a radius of three steps around the shell's landing point, several Nanzhang soldiers were blown away, and within a radius of ten meters, more than a dozen Nanzhang soldiers fell to the ground, either wailing and rolling, or they were silent and whimpering.
Almost at the same time, the remaining twenty-nine tanks also fired in turn.
The drops are all precise.
Most of it fell on the city.
A small part flew over the city and fell into the city, while a part exploded directly on the city wall, blowing a hole in the rammed city wall - although it was built with earth ramming, it was impossible to blow up the city wall with the help of flowering bombs.
The tank battalion didn't think so either.
Tanks have never been a sharp weapon for siege of cities, and the task of the tank battalion today is to suppress the fire on the city walls, so that the foot soldiers will not be disturbed when they break through the city gates.
So as soon as it comes up, it's good not to skimp on ammunition.
Thirty tanks, one cannon and one cannon for me, each artillery aimed at the city head above the city gate, with only one purpose: under the indiscriminate bombardment of the tank battalion, on the head of the south gate of the pass city, when the Ming infantry broke through the city gate, there could not be a single southern commander soldier still standing.
After almost five rounds of continuous bombardment, Mu Zan immediately dispatched troops as agreed.
Gunners with three shots between tank battalions gave way to position.
Two thousand soldiers rushed to the city gate with several siege engines - in the past, they would have been subjected to crazy exploits during the breaching of the city, and the chance of death in battle was extremely high, almost nine deaths.
But today, their only threat was the sparse artillery and catapults on the city walls, and the real threat was the spears of the southern commanders behind the city gates.
So what's the threat?
Take the gates!
The capture of the city gate is an incomparably tragic battle, and the brave who meet in a narrow way wins.
And at this time the tank battalions were powerless to help them.
The tank battalion must continue to bombard the city wall, and the soldiers reinforced by Nanzhang cannot be allowed to condescendingly attack the Ming infantry from the city wall, and before the city gate is captured, the firecrackers and cavalry cannot give reinforcements.
This is a bloody road that needs to be fought with hard power.
For the Great Ming Xiongshi, there are difficulties, but not much!
It was the same as Mu Zan expected.
The combat power of the Southern Palm Soldiers has been reduced a lot!
Yesterday in Xiamaguan, Mu Zan asked people to inspect the temporary thatched pit of the guards in Nanzhang of Xiamaguan, and found that the amount of feces was much less than under normal circumstances, indicating that Nanzhang was short of grain and grass.
A group of soldiers who can't eat enough and have confronted Daming for two years, how much combat power can they have?
But after all, it is a war, a matter of life and death, even if you are hungry, you will still fight hard to survive, so the fierceness of the battle for the city gate cannot be described in words.
Every moment is a dead person.
In the blink of an eye, there was a river of blood in front of and behind the city gate, and the corpses were piled up.
Half an hour!
It took half an hour, and after Mu Zan increased his troops three times in succession, he finally took the south gate of Guankou City, and countless Ming soldiers flocked in, and then the cavalry entered the city.
Street fighting!
If the battle for the city gate was fierce, then the street battle was difficult.
Because the southern commander has a military advantage!
After the Ming Dynasty entered the gate of the pass, it was impossible for the 100,000 army to enter the city in an instant, and the troops were also divided at the east gate and the west gate, so on all the streets and alleys, they had to face several times the strength of their own side.
However, the tactics have long been worked out.
The first soldiers to successfully enter the city only had to hold the gates, and the enemy's defensive formation in the streets and alleys was handed over to the cavalry and the subsequent main force of infantry, as well as the tank battalion that gave up the bombardment of the city walls and entered the city as quickly as possible.
Street fighting?
The tank battalion has something to say!
The battle instantly became white-hot.
After the cavalry entered the city, after the first stage of the charge, the speed of the horses was quickly stopped by the enemy's sea of men and stone teams, and in the end they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
No way, this is war, and the biggest advantage of the Ming Dynasty is the tank battalion.
And the tank battalion has a limited number of vehicles.
Therefore, the Ming soldiers will definitely have to pay a lot of battle losses.
At this moment, the main force of foot soldiers has divided their forces to seize control of the city wall.
But the Ming cavalry soon discovered that there were too many soldiers in the south.
At the critical moment, the ground shook under their feet, and the roar of tanks came from behind them, and everyone was in good spirits.
The tank battalion finally entered the city.
According to the tactics formulated earlier, after discovering that the tank battalion had entered the camp, the cavalry commander immediately led his subordinates to retreat while fighting, preparing to give up the position of the arrow of the charge to the tank battalion.
Street Fighting Tactics: The Tank Battalion acts as the arrowhead, followed by the Gunners, followed by the Cavalry and the Infantry Soldiers.
In order to sweep the streets and alleys of the entire gateway city.
The southern commander found that the Ming cavalry and foot soldiers were retreating, and thought that their side was going to win, so they bravely chased after them, but after chasing, a steel monster with a cannon barrel appeared behind the Ming cavalry and foot soldiers.
And the Ming cavalry and foot soldiers all tacitly hid behind it.
What is it?
The Nanzhang soldier was a little dazed and a little afraid.
People are always terrified of the unknown.
Then they saw the cannon barrel on the steel monster slowly press down, almost pointing flatly, and the southern commander could even clearly see the depth of the cannon barrel!
Like an abyss.
