Chapter 574 Morale Yes, But Not Much
It's outrageous.
If there were these two turrets in Wucheng before, it would be possible to fight back and forth with Zhao Ming, not to mention delaying it for a month, it would not be a problem to drag it out for a week.
And because of the turret, Zhao Ming will not storm it.
But right now, there is obviously a turret, but it is abandoned?
I don't know if I was really scared, or because of the lack of ammunition, I simply gave up.
It just shouldn't be.
Silently observed around Xuanhua again, and after making sure that the other party was indeed acting like a frightened bird, Zhao Ming returned with the team.
At the same time, Hai Dongqing also brought back a vague news.
The number of enemy troops in the city was small, and there was no large crowd to be found in the nearby wilderness, but a large number of people were gathered in the cols to the southeast.
However, this Zhao Ming knew that it should be the place where the monkey temporarily stayed.
Just now, the monkey's people have also completed contact with him, and at the same time passed the latest instructions to the monkey department.
It is believed that the monkey's side will soon learn his main task.
I guess this kid is already rubbing his hands excitedly.
It's just that at the moment, this Xuanhua doesn't seem to be so easy to win.
"Zhao Ye, we may have lost our eyes, although the turrets on the periphery of Xuanhua are abandoned, but the four corners of his city wall are arranged with heavy firepower.
There are four machine gun points at the highest point, and secondly, there are heavy fire on some of the main sections of the city wall, which are well covered.
And although the scale of their city is not as large as that of Wucheng, this thing seems to be built according to the ancient military town.
It's useless to take the outer city, there is an inner city inside, etc., I'm afraid that the inside is going around, even if we kill it, it will be like a turtle in an urn.
I have seen a lot of this kind of ancient military town in Yu and Shaanxi before, and there is nothing outside, but it is a trouble inside.
If we go in, there are a lot of commanding heights inside, and if we go in, we will be a live target. ”
Zhang Kai shook his head, feeling that this wave was a miscalculation.
Where is this easy to take, this is not a bone that is even more difficult to gnaw than Datong.
Zhao Ming remembered instead, special mother's, weren't Xuanhua and Datong the same famous border towns in ancient times?
This has been the case for several dynasties, and the terrain is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is definitely a fortified city.
Otherwise, in ancient times, they would not have relied on these two important military towns to resist foreign invasions for so many years.
In addition, there are a lot of ancient buildings in this thing!
Looking at a majestic ancient building above the Xuanhua City Gate in the distance, he had a toothache.
It's a pity that this thing blew up.
In fact, if you look closely, even the outer city is difficult to take, because the outer city has a moat.
Ancient buildings are secondary, because even if there is no stubble, they will be taken by the Orientals in turn.
The ancient buildings of Xuanhua in later generations have been rebuilt.
It's just that a strong attack doesn't seem advisable.
"Looks like I've got an idea." Zhao Ming sighed, he liked to smoke when he was annoyed, and the cigarette in his mouth was not matched.
Zhang Kai on the side also lost one.
Now Zhao Ming faintly remembered that he had seen the old map of the Xuanhua period of this period before.
On the map, the moat and the city wall are just a thin one, but when you look at it on the ground, it is really a map is a map, and the field is a field.
The height of the city wall alone is ten meters high, and there is only a thin line on the moat map at first glance, but in fact it is almost a river.
A few wild ducks can be seen wandering around.
"Master Zhao, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for five days, why don't we besiege it here and not attack it?" Zhang Kai proposed.
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
Zhao Ming shook his head.
Datong can be besieged but not attacked, but Xuanhua cannot.
Xuanhua is too close to Wucheng, and there is a train track near it, and it is estimated that there is no shortage of materials to be transported.
The food reserves in this will definitely not be less, and it is possible that they will spend half a year.
Zhao Ming couldn't wait for half a year, and the daylilies were cold after half a year.
And after half a year, his military value is not high, at least on the side of the national government, he is no longer important.
If you can't get enough territory in a month or two and have enough right to speak, how can you get more benefits from the government?
Now is the best time, miss it, and then regret it.
Suddenly, Zhao Ming's eyes lit up, "By the way, Lao Zhang, this thing doesn't have to be attacked to fight!"
It's not just a siege, didn't our ancestors teach us to fight a long time ago? ”
"Don't storm or besiege the city? Zhao Ye, what do you mean ......?"
Zhang Kai rubbed his chin, his brain was also bright, and he quickly thought of something,
"Zhao Ye, I know, do you mean that attacking the heart is the first, and attacking the city is secondary?"
"Well, that's pretty much it!" Zhao Ming smiled and nodded.
This point of the ancestors not only played lively, but on the Huaihai battlefield after the Anti-Japanese War, our army also showed great results.
For example, external persuasion and internal rebellion.
Zhao Ming naturally has no internal conditions for rebellion, but the conditions for external persuasion are all occupied.
Previously, the garrison here was severely cleaned up, which was a huge blow to morale, and secondly, the fall of Wucheng was no less than a critical blow.
At this time, Xuanhua -
Fu Xiu was standing in the headquarters pacing back and forth, and the staff officers next to him were silent.
The atmosphere in the command was particularly heavy, and there was no so-called discussion strategy, because there was no point.
Now they are like turtles in an urn, except for asking for help, they are asking for more blessings.
"What now? I couldn't get out before, but now the main force of the enemy army is pressing up, and this is mostly to attack the city.
Let's talk about it, is it a fight or a drop? ”
Fu Xiu said lightly, as the temporary supreme governor here, it stands to reason that it is very unruly to say such a demoralizing remark.
But in fact, after the fall of Wucheng and their successive fat beatings, this issue was put on the agenda.
This has been discussed many times with each other, but it has never been fruitful.
"Sir, I feel that I have to fight no matter what, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my superiors.
Although Wucheng fell, didn't our reinforcements also arrive a few days ago?
Besides, our Xuanhua City is high and complicated, and it is not so simple for them to take it easily.
So I think I deserve to fight to the death! ”
The one who spoke was a staff officer, surnamed Li.
"Staff Officer Li, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk!"
As soon as Staff Officer Li's voice fell, Staff Officer Cao on the side couldn't help but snort coldly.
"That's right! Reinforcements are coming, but what? I've heard that reinforcements have fought enemy forces before, right? Is it defeated?
It's also a defeat in front of you, right?
If you want me to see, you can fight, but we also have to act at the opportunity, once we can't do anything, we still don't have to go against the trend.
Besides, Wucheng has fallen, and now we are unable to speak alone in Xuanhua, and the fall is not our fault. ”
This Staff Officer Cao's words can be described as righteous words, but the meaning expressed is also obvious.
You can fight, but brothers, don't have a tendon, just fight as you like, symbolically beat, and then surrender, which is good for everyone.
