"Human bomb attacks are a last resort that can only be used when you are at the end of the road. How can it be regarded as the norm? Are we thugs? You commanders should really learn to stay calm and command thousands of troops to attack Mount Tai." Isn’t there a state where the appearance remains unchanged despite collapse?”
"When this battle is over, I will have to throw you into an old temple in the mountains to practice Zen Buddhism for three months. What big things can you think of if you can't calm down?"
Before, Xiao Letian kept quiet and forced Lord Long to understand himself. That was because Xiao Letian analyzed that the battlefield situation was not the most dangerous, so he let the generals grow. However, now the originally stable situation has turned into chaos due to Zai Chun's interference. .
If you don't come forward at this time, it will be purely out of mind.
"What is the enemy's advantage? It's speed, explosive power, and the mature psychological quality of a veteran of hundreds of battles..."
"What is our advantage? It is the line of defense, sufficient material supplies, and the defense that is ready to work..."
"The enemy's shortcomings are fatigue and lack of supplies, so you can often see them fighting with sabers after a hail of bullets. The amount of explosives is not much. This shows that the amount of arms they carry is limited. They must disrupt the fight and cannot A war of attrition..."
"Our shortcoming is that we are all new recruits because they are not well trained. We cannot compete with the enemy in a barbaric manner..." Xiao Letian loudly scolded these officers, each of them scolding them like the third grandson.
"The most correct thing for you to do now is to use up your energy and block the enemy's three-axe. Then we will win! What kind of human bombs should we use? Dead soldiers? What a heartless thing. Don't you have a horse? That dog-pulled sledge? Isn’t there a dog around?”
"Animals can do the work, why risk human lives?"
This scolding finally woke up all the generals, and they all said that it was right! Wouldn't it be enough to tie explosives to the beast? Why waste human lives? I'm such an idiot.
Still lack of concentration, as soon as the chaotic battle began, the officers and soldiers were confused, and the more chaotic they became, the more they made mistakes.
Outside the customs, there were many large mules and dog-pulled sledges. These livestock volunteers procured people of all ages, and mobilized all logistics personnel to begin wrapping the animals with explosives. Soon, mobile explosive devices were set up one after another.
The knife stabbed the animal's butt, and the painful mules and horses dragged the burning fuse against the enemy and ran over. In order to prevent the mules and horses from being afraid, their eyes were even covered with blindfolds.
There was no need to run too far, twenty or thirty meters was enough. After hearing the booming explosion, the Rakshasa cavalry on the opposite side fell one by one.
War dogs are even more flexible, running forward close to the ground, and can always bring small explosive bags to the belly of the horse. The iron slag and small iron nails shot out by the blast blast penetrate countless people and horses.
The counterattack was effective. At that moment, the pressure on the frontline suddenly decreased. Gogol saw that it was not good and waved his hand, "Let the Fumanov Division attack...keep up the pressure and don't let the enemy concentrate all their resources in front of us." !”
Chuck the Fox has now exhausted all the troops in his hands. He did not die with the soldiers as promised, and Gogol was reluctant to let a battalion commander die fearlessly.
It is much more difficult for the empire to train an officer than to train a group of soldiers. The fox Chuck was directly transferred to his side, which can be regarded as a disguised protection.
Fox Chuck's eyes never left Zai Chun's figure. At this moment, Zai Chun was already one kilometer away from the front line, and he could only see the small figure through the telescope.
"What can we do? He is running away, Emperor Tongzhi is running away!"
"Relax! This battlefield is extremely vast. As long as he doesn't escape to the battleship, our cavalry can bite his tail... If it doesn't work, shoot him! That can be considered our victory!" Gogol scornfully said With a smile, "The enemy's training is not good! As long as the ice is not destroyed, our 20,000 cavalry will definitely rush over!"
At this moment, the adjutant behind him suddenly shouted, "Look at the sky! There are two hot air balloons flying over..."
Everyone looked up and saw that there were indeed two hot air balloons painted with huge blue civet cat portraits, taking advantage of the weak east wind to float towards the battlefield, with a height of more than 150 meters.
"Don't worry about them, they are Chinese observation balloons, continue the attack..."
But I never expected that as soon as the balloon floated over Suifen River, baskets began to fall from the sky. Each huge rattan basket contained more than a hundred kilograms of high explosives, and long fuses were burning.
The soldier whose eyelids had just been torn out shouted excitedly, "Air Force! We are the Air Force that the Prime Minister said! We are the one who killed you..."
As long as the hot air balloon is large enough and has enough fuel, its load capacity is still very objective. Dozens of huge 'aerial bombs' are tied around the huge operating basket, all using new types of explosives produced by Nobel Company. , solid granite can be exploded, let alone the ice of Suifenhe.
Gogol immediately understood the Chinese's intention. He was shocked and shouted, "Oh God! What was dropped was explosives..."
Xiao Letian in the distant headquarters clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, grandson! How can you two-dimensional heads understand what three-dimensional combat is? I have an air force, hahaha... Thank you God, thank you for the warm east wind in spring, I will sing and borrow the east wind today..."
Boom... there was a dull explosion. This was not an ordinary artillery shell. It was an engineering explosive weighing more than a hundred kilograms. Unfortunately, it did not explode on the ice and landed on a pile of corpses in front of the battlefield.
The explosion instantly tore all the corpses and living people ten meters in diameter into pieces. The smoke and dust formed a small mushroom cloud and rushed up to an altitude of more than ten meters, which was three stories high.
All the cavalry with a radius of more than thirty meters were knocked down by the shock wave. Those on the edge were stunned, and those close to the core were directly shocked to death. Even the position of the Volunteer Army was affected. Ten soldiers were swept down directly and fainted as soon as the eyes darkened. passed.
With such huge explosive power, in the Far East battlefield, apart from the main gun of the Zhiyuan, only these 'aerial bombs' can be produced.
There was ten seconds of silence after the explosion. That was because everyone was completely frightened! Even the Cossack veterans had never seen such a powerful bomb.
Ten seconds later, tens of thousands of volunteers cheered, "Well done! Long live...blow them up!"
Facing the excitement of the Chinese, these Central Asian cavalrymen were dumbfounded. The telescope in Gogol's hand slipped and he couldn't help but said, "Oh God...how can there be such powerful firepower? How can such firepower appear in this place?" East……"
Before he could wake up, there was another huge explosion, this time it hit the ice.
