The photographers accompanying the army recorded this grand occasion. The targets on the shore of Da Nang were instantly covered by artillery fire, and most of the buildings were blown to pieces. The impact area was in a mess, with wreckage everywhere. It was extremely spectacular and unprecedented in scale.
Subsequently, carrier-based aircraft from the aircraft carrier and amphibious assault ship launched a large-scale air raid on the enemy's hinterland, and the sky above the battlefield was immediately completely controlled by Ming army fighter jets.
Hundreds of tanks rolled off the landing ship, taking the lead for the large number of Marines behind them. The beachfront attack bandwidth was several miles long, making it completely impossible for the defenders on the opposite side to defend themselves.
Emperor Haojing clearly instructed the photographers who accompanied the army to take pictures of the first day's attack and send them to Beidu to earn tickets. The people were eagerly looking forward to it.
Previously, the whole story of the Ming Dynasty King's journey to the North and South was made into a documentary. As a result, it was strongly sought after by the audience after it was released.
Since there were few enemies around the Ming Empire, Wang Shi's opportunities to fight were very limited. At most, he could only participate in the internal suppression of bandits, and that was all.
This kind of film undoubtedly satisfies the sentiments of a great empire that a large portion of the audience admires. They are naturally very happy when Master Wang goes to war and kills all around.
This area was the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, especially when the Qin Dynasty established counties here. If the indigenous barbarians dared to rebel, they would be committing a crime of disrespect.
It was natural for Master Wang to send out to educate these barbarians. We didn't have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but we were able to see the general process from the movie. It was a great blessing in this life.
The box office of the three documentaries in this series alone has exceeded 30 million silver coins. After taxes, costs and various expenses, all profits have been donated to the Disabled Soldiers Foundation.
Zhu Cixiang believes that if the three documentaries in the second series are well shot, the box office may reach a new high and it may also provide great help to disabled soldiers in the future.
In fact, Emperor Haojing had already done this. After all, out of curiosity, the people of the Ming Dynasty were very interested in braiding their hair and cleaning up the remnants of Britain and Spain in North America.
The mukbangs eat a variety of ingredients, and the one the Ming Dynasty Master is feasting on is the stubborn enemy!
Hue was only subjected to continuous bombing, while Da Nang was a real landing operation.
Mandai had already discussed with Jiexuan in advance that the main force of the coalition forces would land in Da Nang first.
Then, instead of rushing north to attack the enemy forces in the Hue area, they moved laterally and quickly advanced westward.
The advantage of this is to cut off the southward retreat of Nguyen Phuc Wei's direct troops and force them to flee westward into the mountains.
When attacking enemies hiding in the mountains, our own advantage in air superiority will be brought into full play.
After having the previous experience of suppressing bandits in the mountainous areas of northern Annan, I can apply what I have learned this time.
The mission of the Air Force bomber formation was also simple. After blowing the city of Hue to pieces, it cooperated with the landing troops and used incendiary bombs to create a fire isolation zone spanning the east and west.
That is to say, bombs will be dropped along the established operational demarcation line. Some coalition forces will advance south of this line in the initial stage, while the rest will land in the Hue area to wait for opportunities to annihilate the enemy.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Ming Army field troops have achieved full mechanization. …
The infantry brigade is equipped with 90 tanks and 90 infantry fighting vehicles, and the mechanized infantry brigade is equipped with 120 tanks and 360 infantry fighting vehicles.
The armored brigade has three times as many tanks as the mechanized infantry brigade. Therefore, if a multi-channel attack is carried out, especially if it is divided into dozens of routes, it will put great pressure on the engineering troops to build roads in the short term.
Mandai decided that in the first stage, part of the coalition forces would go west along the main offensive route, so as to block the opponent's retreat and make it easier for each unit to obtain supplies.
After completing the task, depending on the specific situation, we can attack northward. Maybe we can launch a salvo of thousands of arrows and penetrate directly into the depths of Nguyen Phuc Wei.
This guy can't sit still and wait for death. After hearing the news, he will probably lead his troops to advance quickly in order to get rid of his own bombing and pursuit.
However, the other party cannot always go west, because the Lancang River is a natural barrier.
What's more, the Master has provided a large amount of military assistance to Siam, and Siam has also promised to strengthen military forces in the border areas, especially the northeastern border, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
The specific measure is to send additional fighter planes and river gunboats to patrol along the Lancang River. Once it is discovered that the Annan army is trying to cross the border, there is no need to be polite.
The consequences of harboring and shielding the other party are obvious, but they are obviously not as beneficial as the benefits of cooperating with the Ming Empire.
As long as Siam is not a fool, it will not cause trouble for itself.
Not only do they need various commodities from the Ming Dynasty, but they also need to export local specialties to the Ming Dynasty.
Mandai wasn't too worried about Siam, but he was a little worried about whether he could set up a defensive line before the monkeys.
If the opponent is allowed to rush into the area south of the dividing line in advance, it will mean that the coalition forces have to cooperate with the feudal king's soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the prey.
Wanli didn't dare to hope that the vassal king's soldiers and horses would be able to fight the enemy inextricably, for fear that they would "help more and more"...
But under the indiscriminate bombing of the Ming Air Force, it was a certainty that the opponent would escape.
The Air Force reported that a large group of troops appeared on the ground, suspected to be Nguyen Phuc Wei's main force.
Pursued by the "Black-footed Albatross" fighter jets, the team of tens of thousands of people was quickly beaten to pieces.
After smashing a piece of tofu into a pile of scattered tofu residue, Wanli didn't know whether to praise the Air Force people or not.
Can the top layer of the head come out?
Dear, this chapter is not over yet, there is still another page^0^ The poor plane made Ruan Fuwei and others feel extremely troubled and anxious.
The opponent doesn't just spin around in the sky and then leave, but actually rushes down to kill someone!
There are at least 50,000 to 60,000 Junmin who have evacuated Hue, but now there are less than 10,000 left with him.
After being attacked by air raids, ordinary people disappeared without a trace and would never leave with the large group of people again.
The only ones left now are officials, soldiers and their families, which is extremely miserable.
However, after walking for three days, everyone found that the road going south was blocked.
Because a huge wall of fire appeared in front of me!
The wall of fire was nearly half a mile thick, with no edges visible on both sides.
It's not impossible to force your way through the wall of fire, but be prepared to be burned by the smoke.
The most terrifying thing is that there will often be planes flying above the fire wall, as if they are on patrol. …
Use a telescope to look at the other side of the fire wall, and you will find a lot of barbarians, which is very difficult to deal with.
It is very difficult to cross the wall of fire in daylight while under enemy surveillance.
If I really wanted to go there, I would have to wait until midnight.
What made Ruan Phu Wei angry was that he saw the culprit with his own eyes!
Goumanzi's plane actually dropped bombs into the jungle, and then a large area of the jungle burned...
This move is simply outrageous, indicating that the other party is deliberately using a wall of fire to prevent their troops from going south.
Thinking of this, Ruan Phucwei quickly ordered people to go along the fire wall to the nearby area to inquire about the situation.
Try to find a place where the fire is not too fierce and the number of enemy troops is not large, as a breakthrough for your troops.
Since Gou Manzi doesn't want him to go south, he has to go south so that the other party can't guard against it!
However, before his men could find a good place to attack, Nguyen Phuoc Hoi's troops were discovered by a plane.
No matter how many people are below, or even if the target is obscured by trees, Ming army pilots can still use machine guns to straf the target area.
The machine gunner will also fire a signal flare to indicate the location of the enemy, summon nearby fighter planes and ground troops to come for support, and everyone will surround and suppress the prey.
He didn't get through the wall of fire, but he was beaten on the head and face by the barbarian.
As a result, the morale of Ruan's army became even lower.
Everyone tried their best to hide and hide, and many people could not escape the attack of faster bullets.
Thousands of people were killed and injured on the spot. Bodies were scattered everywhere, and screams could not be heard.
Ruan Fuwei was really hateful and angry when he saw this, and he was still complaining silently in his heart, why didn't God help him to kill the barbarian?
Except for those who were slightly injured and could be helped away, those who were seriously injured, especially soldiers, had to be left to die.
And staying in place longer means there will be more casualties.
At that time, there will not be one or two planes overhead, but dozens, or even hundreds.
Fortunately, Nguyen Phuc Wei had good luck today and only encountered a squadron of twelve "Black-footed Albatross" and the same number of "Condor" utility helicopters.
No matter how powerful the twenty-four fighter planes are, they can't cope with so many "ants" on the ground.
After the opponent's birds and beasts were scattered, it was difficult for the Ming army's fighter planes to hunt down the target.
After the machine gunner fired one bullet, he could only knock down three or five people.
The crew members tried their best, but were unable to stop the prey from escaping.
Fortunately, the Japanese army on the other side of the fire wall had received the signal. After everyone put on gas masks, the tanks opened the way, passed through the fire wall, and killed them.
This Japanese army only has three battalions, about 1,500 people, and it was a temporary assembly. A small number of soldiers are still packing up the camp.
The number of troops that can pass through the wall of fire is just over a thousand, but because they are the side with the upper hand in morale, their troops are concentrated, and they have tanks to support them.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers can just hunt down their prey, which has already panicked, but they still have to pay attention, put up their own flags, and follow the tanks.
It is not easy to distinguish the identity of the two sides from the fighter planes overhead, and one can only judge by the two most obvious aspects: tanks and flags. …
"All fighter planes that can be touched, whether they are fixed-wing or helicopters, will take off immediately, use all their bullets and throw away all their bombs, and then come back!"
Mandai responded quickly after receiving the report from the returning pilot.
While it's still dark, at least thousands of Annan natives can be killed.
After occupying Hue, the Ming army already controlled the local airport.
Fortunately, the Air Force was not stupid enough to blow up the Hue Airport, otherwise it would be too late to repair it now.
Compared with the airports in Mainland China, or even Cat Ba Island or Cham Island, Hue Airport can be described as simple.
In addition to being able to take off and land small fighters and helicopters, it is difficult to even park dozens of bombers.
The runway is simply not enough to take off and land the "Hercules". For the time being, this bomber can only continue to use Cham Island Airport.
The good news is that having an airport means that smaller fixed-wing aircraft can take off, which have a much greater range than helicopters.
The pilots who received the order hurriedly drove the fighter plane into the air after the ground crew loaded ammunition and fuel. There was no air combat, so there was not much pressure.
The so-called ground anti-aircraft firepower is completely worth mentioning. The Annan indigenous anti-aircraft guns are just a decoration. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a joke.
Once it flies over the target, the machine gunner can swoop in at will.
although
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is the next page^0^ It is said that this kind of mission cannot train pilots, but it can train the marksmanship of the gunner in the back seat.
Now the machine gunners have mastered the functional relationship between the target distance and the shooting advance, and based on visual inspection with the naked eye, they can mentally calculate the approximate advance.
After a bullet is fired, at least one or two enemies can be killed, and there is basically very little waste of bullets.
Emperor Haojing believed that as long as one enemy could be killed with a springboard, it would be considered a loss.
You can't expect everyone to be like a sniper, who will definitely see blood within ten shots!
Especially for machine gunners on fighter planes, it is extremely difficult to hit the target when the fighter plane is flying at high speed.
Among many arms, fighter machine gunners have the lowest requirements for shooting.
And at the necessary moment when the front-seat pilot is injured, they have to fly the fighter plane back or make an emergency landing.
In response to enemy guerrillas, the Air Force also requested that the "Hercules" be modified into a gunship that can hover over the battlefield for a long time.
This is very similar to the role of the ac-130 "air gunship" in later generations, except that it does not have a cannon installed.
Zhu Cixiang was very supportive of this suggestion, after gaining absolute air supremacy on the battlefield.
The existence of gunships is very necessary. They can stay in the air much longer than other combat aircraft and carry a much larger amount of ammunition.
This time, twelve modified "Hercules gunboats" were stationed at Cham Island Airport to facilitate the mission of encircling and suppressing Nguyen Phuc Hoi's remnants.
Both Man Lay and Jiexuan were certain that a week after the war started, Nguyen Phuc Hoi's troops could be called "remnants" after many fierce attacks from their own side.
Wanli would be overjoyed if the opponent had one or two troops with more than 10,000 troops.
The larger the scale, the easier it is to find, and conversely, it is very convenient to hide.
The biggest headache for Man Lai was that Ruan Phuc Wei had to break his remnants into pieces, which was equivalent to using a sieve to fish out shrimps.
The generals had encountered this kind of thing in North America back then, with British and Spanish guerrillas everywhere.
The opponents were mainly cavalry and moved very fast, making Master Wang confused and exhausted to deal with them.
Due to climate characteristics and terrain restrictions, the Annan natives rarely have large groups of cavalry.
However, the jungles all over the place are good hiding places. This is the difficulty mentioned by the respected master!
War does not become much easier than before just because one's own side has an absolute advantage in strength and firepower.
At some point, due to these advantages of our own side, the enemy is forced to adopt a very normal mode of fighting.
From large-scale field warfare to counter-guerrilla warfare, the difficulty of the exam has been directly increased by two levels, and even city sieges have been skipped.
In counter-guerrilla warfare, the most difficult part is counter-guerrilla warfare in the jungle, because the desert and Gobi are unobstructed.
As long as supplies are timely, there won't be any big problems.
Jungle counter-guerrilla warfare means fighting enemies, mosquitoes, and infectious diseases at the same time!
Of course, the enemy also faces these problems.
Our side is playing away from home, and others are playing at their home court, so they are more adaptable to this environment...
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
