The army of the Mao Xiong Kingdom had just taken Haocheng, and before they had finished resting, they saw the mighty Chinese army approaching the city. They were frightened by the speed of troop deployment.
On August 1, 1863, Blue Star received an order from the Chinese General Staff, and Feng Zicai was responsible for leading the Tenth Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Twelfth Army to launch a general attack on Haocheng.
On the outskirts of Haocheng, inside the Chinese Army Combat Command.
"This time, the enemy's 200,000 troops were all deployed in Haocheng and began to build fortifications. If this happens, we will use a dense artillery network to blow them all up." Feng Zicai looked through the small window of the headquarters. Haocheng.
"Commander, are you going to bring out all the cannons to blast the other side?" Mo Xiansheng, commander of the Tenth Army, asked.
"The number of cannons is always limited. The weapons we developed before can be put to use. We order the entire army to officially use mortars!"
The nightmare of the soldiers of the Bear Country begins.
Blue Star On the evening of August 1, 1863, Chinese soldiers carried newly invented mortars and arrived at Highland 280, 3 kilometers away from Haocheng.
The launch cost and manufacturing cost of mortars are much lower than field artillery, and they are more flexible, larger in number, and cover a very wide area. If the attack continues like this, the 200,000 Bear Nation army in the city will become a living target.
The troops on the high ground were deployed in formation and mortar batteries were set up.
Mo Xiansheng waved down the military flag in his hand.
"fire!"
boom! boom! boom!
A dizzying barrage of shells burst from the high ground.
Cannonballs roared through the air, shooting toward the city walls like meteors, spreading death and destruction. When the cannonball hit the city wall, a huge explosion and brilliant fire spread instantly. The bricks and stones above the city wall were splashed, and the raging impact shook the soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom.
The newly built defenses of the Bear Country also collapsed, sending debris and wreckage flying everywhere, and sparks flying.
The soldiers of the Bear Country in the city had nowhere to hide. They were hit by the splashes from the explosion. They screamed and fell down, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
With the continuous bombardment of artillery shells, the number of soldiers in the Bear Country dropped sharply.
"Report to the commander, the city wall has been riddled with holes, and the soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom have also suffered heavy casualties."
The communications corps reported the battle situation to Feng Zicai in the headquarters.
"Very good. After firing the artillery shells, let the Eleventh Army charge in company units. At the same time, pay attention to attacking in batches to reduce unnecessary casualties."
Blue Star On the morning of August 2, 1862, after a night of bombardment, the Eleventh Army began to charge and rushed into the gap desperately.
The Chinese Army rushed into the city with murderous intent and crazy eyes, using the guns in their hands to avenge the defenders of Haocheng.
The Chinese Army's shouts of killing broke through the sky, and the soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom trembled. After resisting for several hours, they began to collapse and fled to the suburbs.
However, the other two armies have already bypassed Haocheng and rushed directly to the cities of Jez and Kez in the Mao Xiong Kingdom.
Therefore, the Chinese army must annihilate the more than 100,000-strong army of the Mao Xiong Kingdom around Haocheng. Otherwise, the two Chinese armies that set off in advance will be attacked from both sides.
However, Haocheng is surrounded by hills, which is very suitable for escape.
At this time, Feng Zicai reported the situation to the Chinese headquarters.
At this time, Shi Dakai adopted Lin Biao's tactics in the Liaoshen Campaign, asking all the soldiers to pursue the enemy in company units. No need to worry about anything. Just shoot when they see the enemy, and everyone can perform freely. This is based on Chaotic tactics.
Feng Zicai and the three army commanders were also surprised. This was an unheard-of fighting method, because in battle, the army must be concentrated and unified to obey the command in order to fully demonstrate its combat effectiveness.
However, this strange style of play sounds like it is very suitable for this situation.
If such a large number of enemies are allowed to flee, the troops bypassing Haocheng will be attacked from both sides and easily surrounded and annihilated.
Blue Star On August 3, 1862, the sound of gunfire lingered in the hills around Haocheng, and the Chinese Army and the Mao Xiong Kingdom started a chaotic battle mode.
However, the Mao Xiong Army, which had been bombarded by mortars, was always in a state of fear. They met on a narrow road and were naturally no match for the Chinese army.
Blue Star On August 5, 1863, most of the soldiers of the Mao Xiong Kingdom were annihilated in the hills around Haocheng, with only a few fleeing.
