Chapter 321: Death Order, Defense!
Cheng Wenxing only has six regiments and 6,000 people in his hands, and there will be no more after he dies!
For follow-up support, he knows very well that he will have to wait for at least a few days.
As long as these Dongying people want to attack slowly, he can defend for one more day and wait until Yang Jiang's support arrives!
Of course, this is the best situation in Cheng Wenxing's head.
He knew that the total strength of the enemy army in Dongying was 150,000.
Although now mutual shelling blocked them from coming out for a while.
But the enemy forces are now under the cover of smoke and must be constantly unfolding.
"Order, let's go down and another train with a run will go to our side."
"Second regiment, you go to the side and rely on the second artillery train to prepare for crossfire."
Cheng Wenxing thought about it and ordered, "Three or four or two regiments, move three miles to the north, dig trenches so that the artillery is also in the trenches, and prepare to attack from the side." ”
150,000 was a terrible number in his head.
He had to defend separately.
Create an absolute zone of fire suppression through crossfire from multiple angles.
By splitting several parts of the defense at the same time, the enemy's attention will not be entirely focused on their own position.
The fire will not all be concentrated on themselves.
"The six regiments retreated, as a reserve."
After giving this final order, Cheng Wenxing began to wait for the enemy to attack.
The smoke continued, and he still didn't know what was going on on the other side.
However, he was already able to hear some voices occasionally.
The sounds that can be transmitted are basically not small movements.
He had a sense of foreboding.
"Charge!"
When he heard Dongying's words, he suddenly found that the other party's smoke kept rushing forward, and it had reached his own three miles away!
A large number of cavalrymen with submachine guns rushed out of the smoke.
The submachine guns in their hands kept roaring, and although the accuracy of the bullets was not great, they were constantly suppressing Cheng Wenxing's defenders.
"Fire!"
Cheng Wenxing said, holding a rifle and rushing to the city with a company directly under him.
He knew the tactics of smoke grenade cover, but he didn't expect the other party to be able to use it like this.
Pull a few miles closer and give their cavalry plenty of room to charge!
But he didn't have cavalry......
But the number of cavalry was not too many, so after Cheng Wenxing's prepared firepower from both sides fired, these cavalry in front were scattered.
Under crossfire, there is also room for firing from the front.
And that's just the beginning!
Cheng Wenxing watched the smoke on the battlefield slowly dissipate, these Dongying people had already dug a lot of trenches!
Recently, it has been possible to shoot at each other with rifles!
"Why are they so fast?"
Cheng Wenxing put down the three-and-a-half rifle slightly and looked at the situation behind him with a telescope.
The Dongying people actually used horses and some things to plow the ground to quickly build trenches!
This may be the wisdom of indifference between different cultures.
Although Dongying looked at it head-on, about two or three thousand cavalry had been killed by submachine guns and heavy machine guns, but it also won enough opportunities for Dongying to start a positional battle.
The Dongying people are relatively short, hiding in the trenches, barely visible, let alone shooting.
Instead, the Toei people erected something like a shield in front of the trench and shot at it.
Rifles and machine guns were fired at each other, and the two sides were evenly matched.
However, this is only for the moment.
Cheng Wenxing saw that the situation was evenly matched, and he began to think about countermeasures.
He withdrew from the castle tower with his men, intending to move all of his headquarters to the train guns.
But just as he was leaving, a cannon shot smashed precisely into the spot he had just been.
Cheng Wenxing, who was more than satisfied, didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately withdrew from the small city and came to the side of the train gun.
Artillery and small-caliber rapid-fire guns are suppressing the enemy in the front.
The good thing is that rapid-fire cannons can easily penetrate the shields that these Dongying people set up on the trenches.
The bad news is that the rapid-fire gun ammunition on the guns of both trains has bottomed out.
Facing this kind of enemy that he could barely fight, Cheng Wenxing frowned.
"The order goes down, the artillery is the mainstay, everyone takes refuge in the trenches, as much as possible to prevent shelling."
"All submachine guns and heavy machine guns cease fire, wait until some of them come out and then fight!"
Cheng Wenxing ordered to go down and then entered the command room of the train gun.
Looking at the map where someone had already drawn a front, Cheng Wenxing fell into deep thought.
The accuracy of the rifles of this group of people is indeed better than that of the people in their hands.
After all, they had just finished the war and were quite experienced.
I'm just a newcomer who hasn't played a few actual battles.
Especially in the face of such an enemy with a similar level of firepower.
He closed his eyes and thought, how to break the situation in this situation?
If you really let these Dongying enemies advance slowly, your own position will be finished sooner or later.
Dongying's army of more than 100,000 really rushed in front of him, and his six regiments were simply not enough to eat.
It was at this time that he thought of that classic battle.
Although at that time, he was still a recruit who had not been trained for a long time at the Southern Korean Military Academy......
When Ye Yu and Ye Lie were fighting, they seemed to be facing the same situation.
Ye Lie was digging trenches at that time and kept advancing.
If Ye Yu didn't take any action, the same would be true......
"What decision did Ye Yu make at that time?"
His brow furrowed, and he kept recalling.
Although this was two or three years ago, Ye Yu relied on that defeat to win.
For him, it's about turning defeat into victory.
After thinking about it, his eyes were resolute, and he swallowed his saliva.
Although Ye Yu's method was very risky, he felt that he had to hold on here...... I can only give it a try.
"There are about 30,000 people on the front, and their follow-up people are still coming out of the mountain."
Zhang Xingbang came in and reported, "If it goes on like this, they will occupy this place by numbers." ”
"I know, help me give the order, five regiments and six regiments, disassembled, broken into parts, with platoons and companies as units, waiting for the order to attack."
"Others are holding on to the front, this is my death order!"
"All the artillery is turned into smoke bombs, give me all the smoke on their side!"
Cheng Wenxing opened his mouth fiercely, took his submachine gun, and followed his direct company.
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xingbang, "Lord Zhang, it's up to you to defend this side." ”
At this moment, he decided to replace defense with offense.
There are many enemies, few of yourself, and a fixed defense will always lose.
He thought of a variety of methods, including retreating, widening the distance, constantly harassing, and so on......
However, in the end, he had only a dead end.
Anyway, you're going to die, so it's better to give it a go!
Unconsciously, he went from a defender to a general who wanted to attack.
Maybe that's the best defense is offense......
Before Zhang Xingbang could answer, he saw Cheng Wenxing rushing out with a submachine gun and his subordinate company.
"Come on, give the order, all the artillery will be converted into smoke bombs, and a salvo will be fired in a quarter of an hour, until the smoke bombs are finished!"
He sighed and sent the order down.
But there was a smile in my heart.
Cheng Wenxing, this can be regarded as a real newcomer on the battlefield and a veteran.
