An army that has lost its command is like a fly that has lost its eyes. The middle-level generals and lieutenants cannot hear the general's orders and do not know whether to withdraw or hide on the spot. The same is naturally true for the soldiers at the lowest level.
By this time, everyone in the three military towns knew what they should do, but they didn't know exactly how to do it.
You can't just sit here and wait for death.
The heavy sound of gunfire constantly tested the strength of the eardrums, and the huge smoke and fire filled people's sight. At this time, they could only follow the primitive instinct of animals.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
They were originally preparing to march to support the south, but were blocked at home by sudden artillery fire. Seeing that the explosions had no intention of stopping, some people finally began to lose control of their inner fear and began to flee.
It's a pity that only a few people can get through the sea of fire. Most people were directly blown into corpses on the ground by unknown shells falling from the sky on the way to escape.
It was at this time that the massive casualties had just begun.
Screams finally became the mainstream sound on this battlefield.
People were dying everywhere.
Perhaps Qi Zhen would never have thought that the three military towns outside the West City Gate would be defeated in this way.
Qi Zhen didn't know much about munitions, and naturally she didn't know the quality of the mortar that Lin Biao had built in just a few years.
The mortars used in World War II were basically 60 mm caliber mortars with a range of about 2,400 meters. This distance is the farthest distance that a mortar can shoot. But unfortunately, this kind of mortar cannot be used unless It hits the target, otherwise the power is extremely limited, and the flying shrapnel will have difficulty penetrating masonry and fortifications.
The most unacceptable thing is that the error of the 60mm mortar shooting at this distance actually reaches a terrifying fifteen meters!
Mortars are still used in modern warfare, but the more powerful 85mm caliber mortars have been chosen. Not only has the power increased by more than one level, but the range of the shelling has reached an appalling 4,700 meters, and the error is less than Half the size of a 60mm mortar!
The error of 7 meters seems not small, and the coverage range of the cannonball can reach a terrifying twenty meters, which can completely cover this error!
This is the main reason why Lin Zhu cherished the use of mortars so much when he was at Guangcheng Pass.
Whether it was cannons or shells, he had only done so much in the past few years, and this time he put it all on the battlefield!
Another point is that perhaps Qi Zhen does not understand the operating mechanism of mortars, so there is no way to truly understand how terrifying it is to use mortars without any scruples.
That's the mortar's rate of fire.
An artillery attack team was reduced to three people by Lin Zhuang, missing two people at the measurement position and observation position. This was mainly due to the lack of necessary conditions in this era, and the existence of these two positions was of little significance.
With the cooperation of three people, the efficiency of mortar use can be improved to a jaw-dropping level.
Rapid fire can penetrate 120 rounds in one minute!
This is no less than the rate of fire of a modern automatic rifle!
You can imagine how intensive the explosions that occurred in the three military towns were!
What Lin Biao equipped for his artillery was naturally an 85 mm caliber mortar.
It’s not just a matter of production technology. The production capacity in this era is limited. How to manufacture accessories that require extremely high precision under limited productivity conditions is an unimaginable problem.
The production of the mortar itself, the manufacturing of the artillery shells, the training of the artillery and the shaping of the organization, and finally its application on the battlefield, this process is simply complicated enough to scare away any scientist.
If Qi Zhen single-handedly changed the direction of the entire war, then Lin Biao's existence redefined the war.
If you think about Lin Biao himself, he also has to cultivate four confidants in Feng Linhuoshan, and he also needs to use various methods to control military and political power in Yizhou to ensure that his ideas can be fully implemented and many other matters...
Then it can only be said that Lin Biao himself is already close to a god.
The body of a mortar is not an enhanced version of an ordinary artillery piece, and the shells are naturally not those heavy iron lumps. If Qi Zhen could clearly realize this, she would probably have a higher evaluation of Lin Bian.
Perhaps at that time he could also deeply understand why Wang Jianguo admired Lin Bian to such an extent.
The vast majority of the enemy's lives have perished in the mortar bombardment. In addition to their own strength, luck is also an indispensable factor for the soldiers who can escape.
At a certain moment, just as these soldiers escaped from that purgatory like bereaved dogs, the sound of artillery fire stopped without warning.
They looked back with lingering fear, instead of sighing at the aftermath of their disaster, their eyes were full of fear.
When they turned back, the fear in their eyes turned into despair.
Fifty thousand cavalry troops stood neatly a mile away, as if they had been waiting for this moment.
Huo Zhi, the leader, pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it diagonally at the sky.
"kill!"
The sound of horse hooves echoed across the battlefield!
Since then, the outcome of this battlefield has been completely settled, and it even ended earlier than Qi Zhen's side.
The three military towns outside the west city gate, with a total of 150,000 troops, were all wiped out, while Lin Bian's side suffered zero battle losses.
Even at the last moment, no general had the opportunity to announce his name to Lin Biao.
As to whether they should have belonged to the Sun-Wu coalition or to other forces in history, this has become an answer that will never be resolved.
At this time, Qi Zhen, Wang Jianguo, and Qin Feng were on the battlefield, and the war between the two sides finally came to its final moment.
With the blessing of grenades and rifles, there seems to be no suspense about the outcome of both sides.
But this is not the case.
With the efforts of Qi Zhen and Qin Feng, all the enemy soldiers who penetrated into their own formation have been cleared away, leaving only the enemies on the frontal battlefield.
Apart from killing powerful generals in the opposing army with a single click, Qi Zhen and Qin Feng did not participate too much in the battles between ordinary soldiers and quickly retreated.
Under the circumstances, the enemy has been completely suppressed by our own side, and victory seems to be only a matter of time.
At this time, Wang Jianguo's military command qualities were most clearly demonstrated here.
Military orders were issued from the Chinese army's camp, directing the movement and attack direction of each tens of thousands of soldiers.
He squinted his eyes, looked at the messy map in front of him that had been drawn with a brush, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Segmentation and interspersion on local battlefields is crucial to a war. If I insist on explaining it, it means that when the strength of both sides is equal, it will create a situation where more troops fight with fewer troops. This requires close cooperation between the various departments. arrive.
The results are good.
This was his first time commanding this kind of war, but it was obvious that the countless battle examples that remained in his mind provided him with the best reference.
Just like what Lin Biao said, he was holding equipment that was more than an era ahead of his opponent. If he could still lose, he would have no shame in going back to see Lin Biao.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Wang Jianguo no longer stood in front of the map. He walked out of the camp gate. Hearing the constant shouts of killing, he began to worry about the situation of those two people, especially Qi Zhen.
"What are our battle losses?" Wang Jianguo asked softly.
"Reporting to Sir Wang, our army suffered heavy casualties, with only less than 50,000 people left." The subordinate reported back.
Wang Jianguo nodded, the situation was not much different from what he expected.
If we continue to fight according to this situation, we will probably lose about 10,000 people in the end.
After finishing the attack, there were still 40,000 soldiers left. Even if the pressure at the west city gate was already shared by Lin Biao, if they wanted to attack Zhuozhou, even if they had enough ammunition and artillery fire, it would be difficult.
There was another thing on his mind.
There are three identical military towns outside the North City Gate. Tan Ma did not report any news, which means that the troops at the North City Gate are still standing still.
There are at least 150,000 enemies within sight, making this battle difficult to fight.
"After the battle, order the entire army to station on the spot for repairs."
"Here!"
Wang Jianguo of the Chinese Army was relieved, but the battle on the battlefield ahead was not over yet.
It's not that our own army's offensive is weak, but that the enemy is quietly getting stronger.
The further you get to the back, the more abnormally powerful the enemy's combat capabilities become, and your side often has to pay multiple casualties to achieve the same amount of results.
Qi Zhen naturally knew that this was because the system was quietly increasing the difficulty of the game, but there was nothing she could do.
You still have to rely on things like grenades to still have an advantage in the situation.
After all, even if the game intensity is secretly changed, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to become fearless of grenades. This is probably the best news at this time.
However, thinking about how Zhang Liang was able to block Sha Ying's bullet, Qi Zhen felt a little bitter in her heart, as if nothing the system could do would surprise him.
Both body and spirit had reached their limit, and Qi Zhen's eyes turned black.
The so-called ability to conquer and fight well is actually a relative concept.
For example, even a child can swing a sword weighing several kilograms twice with the simplest sword swing. However, an adult general will feel sore and numb after slashing a thousand times, and he may not be able to kill everyone with one sword. Thousands of people.
This principle also applies to Qi Zhen.
What's more, most of the people he faced were enemy generals, who were not at the same level as ordinary soldiers.
Even though he was wearing black armor and his body had been strengthened by both magic liquid and viruses, fighting for such a long time still left him with backache and difficulty in concentrating.
But Qin Feng's performance really impressed Qi Zhen. Thinking about it carefully, it is not unreasonable that this young player can face Erye Guan and win.
