Chapter 547: It's endless, isn't it?
It's just a matter of daring to fight and kill, but there are still so many firepowers, and it is not good to be well-equipped.
Not only is every battalion equipped with heavy firepower as standard, but even some companies have heavy firepower.
Grenades are also like not asking for money.
The only thing that made Zhang Li happy was that although Zhao Ming's artillery was many, it was not very many.
At present, there has not been a fierce exchange of fire with Zhao Ming's troops on his side, but it shows from the battle reports that have come back one after another.
The number of Zhao Ming's artillery pieces is about eighty, which is not too much, and it is acceptable.
With the defensive strength of such an important town as Wucheng, it is still not a problem to face this kind of artillery fire.
What's more, the other side is running for a long time, and it is impossible to carry too many shells.
And the cannonballs are precious.
The previous battle report showed that Zhao Ming's troops had successively bombed about 5,000 shells.
There are so many shells that want to come to Zhao Ming's department, even if there are still many.
You must know that one shell is worth about four oceans.
Of course, this is in the country, if there are those with supporting arsenals, the price will be much cheaper.
But how could Zhao Ming have an arsenal?
Coupled with the pulling out of one or two divisions, there is also a succession of ammunition consumption.
He, Zhao Ming, is afraid that he has already spent millions of oceans.
So Zhang Li didn't panic after thinking about it, and sleepiness gradually emerged.
He didn't think that Zhao Ming could have much money in his mind.
It may be rich, but in order to maintain a large plate business, it is possible to have money but not all of it to be used in the army.
This is true among all forces, and the few are handsome, and the few can collect nearly 10 million oceans every year.
But who can smash all these 10 million oceans on armaments in one go, and it would be good to take out two or three million oceans at most.
He felt that Zhao Ming might have assets of one or two million oceans, but it would definitely not be too much.
After all, the bond needs to pay a huge amount of interest every month every year, and what he Zhao Ming is doing is also a loss-making deal.
Not..... Zhang Li's idea is so simple.
Anyway, he didn't lose, it was Zhao Ming who lost.
In this way, his brain became more and more groggy, just as he was about to fall asleep.
Woo ~ woo ~ woo
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from afar through the doors and windows.
This was followed by a roar that shook the mountains.
Boom Boom! ~~
The violent sound of cannonballs exploding, like a shock, suddenly woke up all the sleeping citizens in the city.
The soldiers who took turns to rest were even more frightened, followed by a scream of crying father and mother.
Boom!
A cannonball landed on the city, although the soldiers on the walls were able to lay down in time.
But the shells are too dense, one after another, and this round is afraid that there will be no less than a hundred cannonball salvos.
Even if the soldiers dodged in time, many soldiers were still killed.
Half of his body was directly lifted up by the cannonball.
When Zhang Li rubbed his red eyes and walked out of the bedroom angrily, he saw the adjutant and staff officer walking towards him.
"Sir!"
"Go to the headquarters first, tell everyone to pay attention to concealment, let everyone relax, as long as they hide in the fortifications, it will be fine.
Also, be careful not to let the enemy touch you. ”
While giving down the precautions, Zhang Li strode forward.
On the contrary, he was very grateful for the two days that Zhao Ming had delayed recently, and Zhao Ming had indeed been exploring the situation in Wucheng in the past two days.
But isn't he preparing?
A number of temporary fortifications were built on the walls with sandbags, just to hide in the fortifications before the cannonballs.
In addition, there are also many trenches set up in the roads that must be passed through the major city gates, and some lanes even have some hidden firepower points.
That's right, he's already thinking about fighting in the streets.
When it came to the war, he was still a little decisive.
After all, most of Chahar has fallen, and now if he doesn't know Zhao Ming's ability, then he can only buy a piece of tofu and die.
In short, this Zhao Ming is a tiger with excellent disguise, and he is very willing to spend money to support the army.
Although I don't understand how the quality of the army can be trained in just one year, now is not the time to think so much.
The shelling continues, and five rounds of shelling have already been carried out one after another.
Zhang Li also came to a temporary command post next to the city wall.
For the convenience of command, it is naturally impossible to nest in the capital mansion.
Silently listening to the number of shellings, he smiled and shook his head.
"Tell the brethren to be ready to fight back, and that the enemy is expected to charge after five rounds of artillery fire. Give them a hard time when the time comes! Zhang Li sneered.
Staff Officer He on the side also nodded slightly.
After the shelling, it is a very conventional way of fighting, which is nothing more than using artillery fire to cover and destroy some exposed fortifications.
But it's a pity that after learning that Zhao Ming's department has fierce firepower, Zhang Li's department has been very cautious about the arrangement of heavy firepower in the past two days, and almost no one will be exposed.
It is impossible to rely on these artillery fires alone to raise heavy firepower.
Compared with the number of artillery, Zhang Li also knew that he could not compare to Zhao Ming.
Even heavy firepower is not as good, but who told him to be the defender now?
The defender's firepower does not need to be exposed, and it is from high to low, so the advantage is infinite.
This is a much greater advantage than the ancient offensive and defensive battles.
Sure enough, after a few moments, after several rounds of shelling, the enemy's artillery fire seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Seeing this, everyone was silent on the surface, but they were somewhat relieved in their hearts.
They did build fortifications, but they couldn't 100% cancel out the effects of the shells.
Even if there were fortifications to block the shells, the concussions and waves caused by the shells would be devastating to the soldiers.
The key point is to be directly stunned, or even to death, and the light is to be shocked to internal bleeding or even chest dyspnea, dizziness and tinnitus.
In this era when there were few aerial bombs, the effect of hiding in trench bunkers was still obvious, at least greatly reducing the risk of being killed by shells.
So although everyone is a little worried, the whole is relatively reassured.
"It seems that Zhao Ming's cannonballs are not inexhaustible, maybe this is their ....."
Zhang Li was about to ridicule Zhao Ming and boost his morale.
Who would have thought, without waiting for him to finish speaking, woo woo woo~
The sound of a howling north wind struck again, followed by the familiar cannonballs.
Boom Boom! ~
Dense shells continued to bombard the outside, and the temporary headquarters was constantly shaking off dust.
The desk that had just been cleaned was once again covered with a thick layer of dust.
Everyone couldn't get any good, they were all discouraged, and hurriedly opened the window for ventilation.
But as soon as the window opened, the scene outside made everyone even more dumbfounded.
It was seen that almost all of the city walls and within a few hundred meters of the city walls were within the range of artillery fire, and a large number of houses were constantly collapsing.
Because he had to deal with the war, Zhang Li was not a ruthless person, and he still let the people nearby evacuate to the center of the city in advance.
But there are a lot of rotating soldiers here.....
