"You want to say," the old man looked at Wang Sheng and said, "that their target is our headquarters?"
"Boom!"
Just as the old man finished speaking, there was a burst of artillery fire outside. Wang Sheng was so frightened that he quickly ran out of the headquarters and shouted to the guards, "Who is firing?"
"teacher."
Wang Sheng said to the old man, "You stay at the headquarters first, but you must not go out. Teacher Zeng asked you to follow my staff. If an accident occurs, I can't explain it to Teacher Zeng. I will go out to see the situation."
After saying that, Wang Sheng ran out quickly. He had to be careful that his opponent was Su Yu, because he had already lost once in Shanglu, and he could never lose to Su Yu again this time.
"commander!"
The deputy commander of the New 37th Army quickly came to Wang Sheng and said, "In our rear area, there are traces of a large number of soldiers and artillery. They are now testing our north city gate. It is estimated that the enemy will launch an attack soon."
"Now," the deputy commander of the 37th Army continued, "we only have one division of troops in the city. The rest of our 37th Army are all defending in the front and setting up a defense line. I never thought that enemy troops would appear in the rear. I have already sent the 37th Army to The rest of the troops will be transferred back and they will be able to return to the city for support in half an hour."
"very good."
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "An army with a five-meter-high city wall is enough to block Su Yu's attack. We only need to wait for the front line to defeat the Xue family army, and then the large army can come back to support."
"commander."
The deputy commander of the 37th Army looked at Wang Sheng with an ugly face and said, "The walls of Yongcheng have not been repaired for a long time. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the heavy artillery of the security forces!"
"It's been a long time!"
Wang Sheng frowned slightly and said, "I remember asking the Ministry of Industry. The imperial court invested 170,000 and 80,000 silver dollars respectively 17 years ago and 8 years ago to build the Yongcheng wall. How come it has not been repaired for so long?"
"Why!"
"commander."
The deputy commander of the 37th Army shook his head and said, "This money has long been embezzled by the former county magistrate in collusion with the governor. I just found out because the city wall had just been bombarded by heavy artillery by the security forces, and the inside was actually made of loess and mud. "
"What did you say!"
Wang Sheng widened his eyes and shouted, "How is this possible? Yongcheng is an important military town, how dare they?"
"Commander, under the temptation of money, no one dares to dare," the deputy commander of the 37th Army said with a grimace. "I now doubt whether the air raid shelters, underground arsenals and other military sites in the city are all the same as the city walls outside. It's the same, it's made of loess, and there's only a layer of bricks on the outside. If it were like this, it wouldn't be able to withstand the blows of heavy artillery."
"These damn corrupt officials!"
Wang Sheng punched the pillar and shouted, "Don't panic yet, call back the rest of the 37th Army first, and see what Su Yu's troops have planned next, and then we can make plans."
"Yes, Commander."
...
In Chenjia Town, 20 miles behind Yongcheng, Su Yu led three armies to make a large detour from the right wing of Qinghe, marching 150 miles in one day and one night, and then arrived quietly. The rear area of Wang Sheng Corps is a modified version of the traditional outflanking.
"Now."
Su Yu pointed at the map and said, "The Xue Jiajun and the five armies of Wang Sheng's regiment are already entangled. Even if they want to evacuate, it will not be easy. And now there is only one army in Yongcheng, and the 38th Army is in At the border, there is no way to come back within three days.”
"commander."
At this time, Wang Wu quickly came to the temporary headquarters and said, "All three heavy artillery regiments are in place."
"very good."
Su Yu looked at the three army commanders in front of him and said, "Time will not wait for me. We must take the initiative and attack Yongcheng with all our strength. As for whether Wang Sheng will defend to the death or bring back the troops in Wancheng, that depends on He makes his own choice, but we must go all out."
"Yes, Commander."
"Order the artillery," Su Yu said to Wang Wu, "900 rounds of artillery shells, give me life-threatening bombing. Although Yongcheng is an important military city and the city walls have been reinforced, we may not be able to blast it away. Of course, if it cannot be blasted, The city wall will be blasted open, and then Guo Dahai and your three armies will take the lead in attacking."
"clear."
Guo Dahai immediately walked out of the temporary headquarters, came to his own unit camp, and began to formulate a battle plan.
Su Yu picked up the phone and gave an order to the artillery regiment commander in the rear. He immediately launched an artillery bombardment. All 900 rounds of artillery shells were fired. Then the artillery fire was extended to provide fire support to the soldiers of the 3rd Army.
Su Yu gave the order, and the three heavy artillery regiments began to suppress artillery fire.
"Set up and shoot Zhu Yuan, aim straight, and fire!"
At the rear, 144 122mm howitzers instantly sprayed out 144 steel shells and hit the city wall heavily. The huge explosion blasted deep pits on the city wall. The outer bricks were blown up and the yellow soil inside was exposed. come out.
"Damn it!"
Wang Sheng watched the artillery shells falling from the sky from the high platform. He finally understood where the Xue Jiajun's artillery fire came from. It must have been obtained from Su Yu.
This caliber, as a commander who has been in the army for decades, is at least above 105 mm, because the 105 mm howitzer equipped by the Royal Corps is far inferior to this.
When he saw the 105mm howitzer in the Royal Corps, lying on the ground like a beast, he thought that the new army would have no rivals in Daxia from now on, but now it seems that he is just a frog in the well.
"commander!"
The commander of the 37th Army came to Wang Sheng and said, "The defensive formation has been set up."
"Um."
Wang Sheng shook his head helplessly and said, "It is estimated that with a few more rounds of shelling, the city wall will collapse. You should be prepared to fight."
"Yes, Commander."
While Wang Sheng was distressed and helpless, Su Yu was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Are you telling the truth that the walls of Yongcheng are about to explode?"
"That's right," Wang Wu said with a smile, "According to the artillery scout's report, it is said that the entire city wall of Yongcheng is made of yellow clay. Not to mention 900 rounds of artillery shells, only 500 rounds can be used to shoot a huge 's mouth."
"Hahaha."
Su Yu looked up to the sky and smiled, "God is really helping me."
"Order," Su Yu looked at Wang Wu and said, "Now the situation has changed. We have to change our tactics as the battlefield changes. The three armies under my command do not have main attack or assists. They all give me the main attack and bomb all three city walls. Come on, let's see how Wang Sheng can resist three of our armies with one army."
"Yes, Commander."
Then, the artillery in the rear began to extend their artillery fire, bombing the south and north walls. A heavy artillery regiment was responsible for one wall and wanted to blast open all three walls.
Liao Yuanliang led the first army to the south city wall and waited for the city to be broken before launching a full-scale attack. Wang Wu's second army did the same. As soon as the city wall was broken, all three armies launched an attack. It was up to Wang Sheng to use one army to attack. How to resist the military strength.
