Chapter 1422: Rain Strikes Sand City
Bad weather is a hindrance, but if used well, it can also help.
The water flow of the drainage canal under the heavy rain is very fast, and it is very difficult to sneak through the water gate, Dou Xiaoqi knows it, and the defenders also know that as long as they overcome the difficulties, they can turn it into an opportunity.
Dou Xiaoqi plans to bet on the Sun brothers and give it a go.
The special combat regiment immediately took action, and the main force moved to the south of Jisha City, controlled the villages and towns in the south, found a group of small boats, and selected a commando team of 500 people, ready to follow the Sun brothers into the city.
After the preparations were completed, the Sun brothers and the township party were preparing to board the ship with the commando, and Lei Feixiang rushed to the river in the rain.
"After today's battle, I approve you to join the Protector Army," Commander Lei promised to the Sun brothers.
Sun Liyi was excited, and led the people of Ligang Town to swear allegiance to the prison country on the spot.
"I ask the two water magicians to cooperate with your actions, you must move quickly, and solve the battle before noon!" Lei Feixiang not only said with his mouth, but also brought two magicians.
This decision was quite correct, he knew how to use magic to fight together, and slowly progressed from the command of the local army to the command of the regular army.
I don't know if it's because the defenders of Jisha City are too lax, or because the Sun brothers are really watery, the iron gate of the water gate in the south of the city was quietly opened, and a cloud of water mist covered the assault team to rush into the water gate.
"Enemy! Enemy is entering the city!" the alarm sounded inside the city, and at the same time a large number of armed forces appeared outside the city.
Like wolves, the assault team rushed into the city and divided into five teams, advancing towards different targets, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The Sun brothers and the people of Ligang Town were guarding in front of the water gate, the eldest was holding a repeating crossbow in his hand, the second was holding an iron shield, and the eldest was wearing fine armor and carrying an iron rod, all of them were armed.
The 2nd and 3rd Special Operations Battalions had rushed outside the Water Gate and used small boats as a springboard to drill into the city, while Dou Xiaocai led the 1st Battalion to the next city, Donglai City.
There are as many as 5,000 people in the city defense army of Jisha City, it should be said that there is a fighting force, but the enemy appears inside and outside the city at the same time, and no matter how experienced the command is, he can't suppress the panicked soldiers, plus the city gate was easily broken by a big monster, and the soldiers who retreated from the south gate caused the whole city to flee.
Mo Jun, who had gray hair and white beard, walked into Jisha City, and watched happily as one team after another of his subordinates ran past him, once again capturing a city with an unscathed record.
"You are the righteous men of Ligang Town?" he saw a group of strangely dressed soldiers, the Protectors had neat uniforms, and they were all patchwork.
"Back to the sir, the lowly rank is now also the Protector Army. Sun Liyi immediately gave the old officer a standard military salute.
"Yes, yes! I am Mo Jun, the commander of the first infantry regiment, and I will remember to come to my unit after graduating from training. ”
"We, can we join your army now?" Sun Liyi was very excited.
"No, you don't understand anything now, and you have to go through training before you can officially become a protector. ”
Sun Liyi was dumbfounded and said, "But, but Master Lei promised that after this battle, we can join the Protector Army." ”
"There is no contradiction between his promise to you and the fact that you are going to train. ”
Mo Jun knew that these people didn't understand the rules, so he turned around and pointed at a strong man and shouted: "Xiao Fan, come here!" Let me introduce you, he used to be the commander of a fortress, he only came to Nanqiu County last year, and now he is studying at the Juyang Military Academy. ”
The Xiao Fan in his mouth is Fan Dongci, who was specially transferred from the military academy to the front line for internship. Fan Dongci's luck was good, when the military went to the military academy to find people, there were few cadets there, just in time for him to catch up with the first batch of intern trainees.
When they heard this, they were convinced, they were originally commander-level officers, and their military abilities were much stronger than them, and they had to train and study before becoming the Protector Army, and they had nothing to complain about as a group of wild people.
"Master Mo has taken a fancy to you, you have made a lot of money! Do you know which legion Lord Mo retired from before?" Fan Dongci stood beside Mo Jun like a primary school student, with a look of fascination.
Sun Lizhi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be the Eighth Legion?"
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows, and Fan Dongci nodded haughtily: "This brother is very smart!"
"Wow!" The eyes of the villagers in Ligang Town who looked at Mo Jun suddenly became enthusiastic.
It is also a great honor to be a soldier of the Eighth Legion, the ultimate wish of all civilian soldiers, to be seen by an officer from the Eighth Legion.
"Hehe, you don't have to be in a hurry, I have ordered someone to write a letter of recommendation, recommending you to go to the camp of Tunchang County for training, and those with excellent grades can be sent to the Juyang Military Academy, not to mention the National Protector Army, it is also possible to join the Eighth Army. "Lei Feixiang also entered the city.
"Lord Lei, don't bring people who fool me like this, they promised to come to a group. Mo Jun was unhappy, "Whoever dares to rob his subordinates will find his superiors to reason." ”
What he is most afraid of is the Eighth Army, I believe that those division commanders will give him face, and he can still go to Ding Kui to complain.
"Oh, I respect their personal opinions. Lei Feixiang left after saying hello, not wanting to provoke the old leader.
He had to rush to the Magic Guild to find out if there were any rumors of the battle in the city.
One of the first commandos to enter the city was guarding the periphery of the Magic Guild, and it seemed that after a bloody battle, a large number of corpses of the city defense army lay on both sides of the street, and that platoon also paid the price of twenty or thirty casualties.
"Report to the Master, no one can enter the Magic Guild. ”
This shows that the news of the fall of Jisha City has not spread.
The heavy rain caused a lot of trouble for the first division, but it was not without benefits, and the letter eagle could not fly in the rain, resulting in two ways to deliver the message: magic communication and sending someone to deliver the message.
The magic guild will be blocked, and there is a special warfare battalion on the road to Donglai City, and all the methods of transmitting news will fail.
"Niu Erbing!" Lei Feixiang nodded at the City Lord's Mansion.
"The subordinates are here!" Niu Erbing was promoted to the commander of the third infantry regiment.
"The troops directly under the first and second regiments are assigned to you to command, and you must take Donglai City within today!" Lei Feixiang gave up his plan to capture the three cities today.
"Yes!" Niu Erbing immediately led his troops to set off.
Heavy rain enveloped the southern part of Yanling County and Nanqiu County, and the mahjong game of the Earl's Court had dispersed, and Ding Kui looked up at the sky without saying a word.
Jiang Xi and Kong Ren came together, and the two of them regained their energy after a night's rest.
"I've seen my second uncle, Brother Kong. Ding Kui came back to his senses. "What, are you worried about the weather affecting the battle situation?" Jiang Xi could see that he was in a bad mood.
"There will definitely be an impact, the heavy rain is falling right in the area we are attacking, but the enemy's reinforcements are not affected. ”
Ding Kui specially asked about the weather in Huashan County and knew that there was no rain in the north of Yanling County.
"Are you sure the enemy has reinforcements rushing to Yanling County?" Kong Ren immediately went to look through the military intelligence report on the table.
"I'm not sure, the terrain in the north of Rock Ridge County is relatively flat, and the Tenth Army can fight at any time, and all we have invested there are infantry, so we have to find a way to transfer the Ten Army Corps. "Ding Kui can't let go of the threat of the cavalry legion.
"It's not very likely. Fei Ze sent the latest news, and the figure of the Tenth Army appeared along the coast of Jinping County.
Kong Ren analyzed: "It's good news, but it's also bad news. The Navy confuses the Tenth Legion, but they can quickly react that Rock Ridge County is the direction of our main attack. ”
"The city of Jisha sent a message, and a division captured the whole city. "Qianyou sent a battle report.
"Oh, is Yanling County really our main direction of attack?" Ding Kui watched the battle report and fell into a god.
"Huh?" Kong Ren was a little out of control.
Jiang Xi smiled and sighed: "Young people can really toss, can they fight so willfully?"
"The lord has already eaten the four words impermanence, and he will choose the lord as the opponent for at least a short life. ”
"Hahaha, when did Mr. Fei learn to flatter? I like it!" Ding Kui smiled and handed the battle report to Kong Ren, "Military quartermaster baggage consumes a lot of manpower, and it is not easy to solve during the Chinese New Year. ”
"Spending money! Acquiring more land and population as soon as possible can reduce the pressure on the national debt, and spend more money for the front line, which is worth it! "Fei Ze learns quickly.
"Think about it again, let Mr. Liu come up with a plan, I'll see it early tomorrow morning. Ding Kui didn't rush to decide.
Now one of his decisions can affect the fate of thousands of people, involving hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and there is no room for error.
The good news kept coming back from the front line of Yanling County, the 3rd Infantry Regiment captured Donglai City, the 75th Division took Xiaqiu City, opened up the connection with Shiao City, and the 74th Division forced Jianshi City to surrender and threatened the northern part of Yanling County.
The Earl's Court set up a sand table of Yanling County in the side hall, and Ding Kui also moved his office to the side hall.
"Tomorrow we can hit near the Yanling County Town, the enemy's reinforcements should not have time to arrive, and the Tenth Army Corps will not dare to go deep into the mountains, and the day after tomorrow we can complete the first stage of the goal and capture the Yanling County City. "Kong Ren planted red flags in the six cities he had occupied.
Ding Kui asked: "Where are the 199th and 200th divisions?"
"Obey your orders, and have returned to Stone Cave City. Kong Ren is perfecting the marks on the sand table.
"Let Lei Feixiang advance to Xianggou City to set up defenses, mainly to prevent cavalry sneak attacks. Ding Kui picked up a small fence and placed it above Xianggou City.
"Aren't you going to capture the five cities along the coast?" Kong Ren was puzzled.
"The enemy has no naval army, and the coastal cities can be taken whenever they want, and we will not attack them, and the remaining two cities will change sooner or later.
I thought about it, and I used the northern part of Yanling County as a huge training base and transferred troops who lacked actual combat experience to exercise. Ding Kui has made a decision.
"Aren't you worried about helping the enemy train a strong force?" Kong Ren waved a small arrow above Donglai City.
"I'm afraid that the enemy won't come and die. "Ding Kui is very confident in his subordinates.
Kong Ren smiled dumbly, planted a small skull flag on the Yanling County City, and then took a step back, did he miss anything that had not been updated.
"I think you don't have to be busy in the rear, go to the front line of Yanling County to exercise. Ding Kui reached out and put his hand on Kong Ren's shoulder.
