Chapter 452: An Attack Without Technique
"The 1st Brigade of the 201st Division is responsible for guarding the camp to prevent deserters from coming to destroy our army's materiel, equipment and baggage. Miao He thought about it, and still added an additional military order to Ding Kui and them.
The 19th Division will leave a large number of items in the camp when the whole army attacks, and this forced march to Wangguicheng without auxiliaries, so it must be guarded, otherwise as long as an enemy deserter runs, it will be burned all.
The order of the main general was naturally passed down by the pro-soldiers, from the captain to the squadron leader, from the squadron leader to the squad leader, from the squad leader to the ordinary soldiers, more than a thousand people were relaying Miao He's order, but Ding Kui heard that it was only about the same size as the sound of crickets on a summer night.
The 19th Division began to make pre-battle preparations, drinking water, eating dry food, and wearing armor, almost everyone was moving, even if everyone was deliberately controlling their movements, it still inevitably made a sound, fortunately a few miles away from the Meng army camp, this sound was not so far away.
"I didn't get the chance to play, but I ended up in a guard camp and didn't even let us see it. Ding Kui was not very happy, and when Miao He left, he complained, and his subordinates rested for most of the night, all of them were full of energy, and they were ready to make new contributions.
"This is actually normal, after all, we are a cavalry brigade, and we are not suitable for attacking the enemy camp at night, and it is reasonable for the commander of the Miao Division to arrange this. What's more, there is still the main force of the Meng 84th Division that needs to be solved, and fighting across dozens of miles is our strong point, and sooner or later we will be arranged to fight. Feng Liang comforted his junior brother.
"Lord Miao is not greedy for merit, but he is a little worried, and would rather his own troops suffer more casualties than send us to battle, obviously worried that he will be criticized by idlers for 'letting other people's troops be cannon fodder'. Ding Kui was right, our average combat strength was higher than that of the enemy and the 19th Division, so we had a better combat effect. Xue Chong can understand Miao He, but he is still depressed.
The 1st Brigade did a lot of work in seducing and harassing the enemy troops, but it was a pity for everyone to not make it to the final decisive battle.
"Let's go and see how they fight, it's better than guarding the camp here. Ding Kui did not hide his thoughts, and seeing how the well-trained 19th Division fought this battle was also a good accumulation of experience for him.
I have seen more than 1,000 people fighting in Zhushan City, and Ding Kui has never seen the battle of more than 10,000 people in the regular army, and there is not much suspense about winning or losing this battle.
"If you want to see it, you can go and see it," Xue Chong looked at Ding Kui and said seriously, "Take your own soldiers with you, you don't need to be a man of the hour in the camp." Let's just say that I sent you to observe the battlefield, and if there are defeated soldiers fleeing to the camp, you can come back and report in advance, presumably Lord Miao will not drive you back. ”
Xue Chong couldn't wait for Ding Kui to grow up quickly, this is a subordinate who is destined to be irrepressible, so he will simply help him get promoted as soon as possible, how to say that he is also his old superior, this is an ironclad incense.
"Thank you Team Xue for your success, my subordinates will definitely complete the task. "Ding Kui acknowledges Xue Chong's love, comrades-in-arms are companions who share life and death, and in the end, it is impossible to calculate who owes whom.
Half an hour later, the 19th Division set off on time, the khaki uniforms were not reflected at all in the night, and the troops were very concealed in their dispatches, and groups of soldiers disappeared into the darkness after leaving the camp two or three hundred meters.
No wonder with such an ugly color, my country's military uniforms are not randomly colored, they are all products that have been tested by war for a long time, and there is naturally a reason for their existence.
Ding Kui understood why Shaodian chose this color of military uniform.
Ten minutes, only ten minutes later, the 19th Division 10,000 people walked cleanly, and the things they left behind were neatly placed around the camp of the First Brigade.
"Team Xue, then I'll go over and have a look. Ding Kui made a wooden clip for the "Moon Death" and carried it on his back, and took Ao Yu to follow the 19th Division and set off towards the Meng army camp.
The southeast wind blew in the second half of the night, which was more conducive to the 19th Division's concealment, and they entered the attack position without the Meng army being aware of it.
Miao He looked at the timer, looked up at the sky again, raised his horsewhip and said, "Start attacking!"
Woo, woo, woo.
Knock knock, knock knock.
Suddenly drums and trumpets sounded in front of the Meng army's camp, and countless torches were lit in an instant, and five fire dragons rushed up from the bottom of the southern slope. The sentry in the camp immediately blew a sharp whistle, and the patrol guards rushed to the camp gate, and the shouts of the officers continued to sound in the camp tent.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu also came to the bottom of the southern slope and watched the battle not far behind Miao He. Although the two of them were wearing Shaodian military uniforms, they were also interrogated and checked several times, and they had to go to the designated area to watch the battle.
The 19th Division has 2,000 archers, which is the unit with a high proportion of archers in the Second Army Corps, and it is also the confidence of Miao He to take this Meng army camp alone.
After rushing up the halfway slope, the archers stopped charging and began to attack the Meng army camp after forming a formation, using all rockets. The Shaodian army was raised from the south, and the wind-assisted fire posed a great threat to the barracks. The remaining 4,000 infantry armed with short weapons continued to rush forward, and soon they were about to rush in front of the horse barrier trench.
The Meng army had already reacted, sent troops into the defensive position in time, and used the fortifications to start attacking the charging Shaodian army.
The Shaodian army of the original five-way column scattered left and right after being attacked, and gradually turned into a horizontal sparse line, rushing into the Meng army camp like a wave.
Due to the superiority of the number of archers of the Shaodian army, the long-range attack force of the Meng army camp was quickly suppressed, and the first wave of charging infantry began to dismantle the defenses such as the rejection of horses.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the Meng army immediately ordered the reserve to go out of the camp to counter-charge. There is no way, he sees that the Shaodian army has an advantage in strength, and when the infantry behind rushes up, it will be even more useless to fight, it is better to counterattack now, and in a short period of time, it can be fought locally with more and less. Keeping the fortifications can delay the time when the camp is breached, and when there is time, he can organize a death squad to break through, and there is only a dead end to defend here.
The forward of the Shaodian army did not fight hard with the troops of the Meng army who rushed out of the camp, and fought and retreated, and while retreating, they maintained contact with the enemy, so that the Meng army hit the cotton with a heavy punch.
"It's so direct," Ding Kui, who was watching from below, shouted, "If you start hand-to-hand combat directly, you have to look at the strength of individual soldiers, you should let us go, the Meng army's counter-charge troops can't rush us at all." ”
"That's how human beings fight, it's not bigger than anyone's fist. You punch over, I punch back, whoever falls first will lose, what's the difference between this and our dragon clan fighting in groups?" Ao Yu could see the situation on the battlefield clearly.
