I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 374 Combat in Air and Ground!
The Baisha Line of Defense was a checkpoint established by the Timur Empire following Daming's example.

The line of defense is built along the Asan River, with high-walled turrets and watchtowers, all kinds of defensive measures are available
This line of defense can be called a natural danger in the era of cold weapons, but it is a pity that it was born at an untimely time, and it happened to meet the semi-modernized Ming Army.

"Grandpa, you should go to the rear. If my father knows that you have come to the front line, he won't beat me to death!"

As the morning sun slowly rose, on the opposite side of the Asan River at the Baisha Defense Line, groups of Ming troops were preparing to cross the river.

In the frontline command post, Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a telescope and advised him to retreat to the second line with a bitter face.

"Are you bored?"

The impatient old man who was being quarreled took back his binoculars and glared at Zhu Zhangui who was beside him, "If you are really bored, lead a team to charge across the river and don't bother me here."

"You little bastard is afraid that your father will beat you, but are you not afraid that I will beat you?"

Zhu Zhangui's face became even more bitter, "But!"

"Fuck off!"

"Oh, I'm leaving now!"

Zhu Zhangui turned around helplessly, winked at Zhu Zhanji, and walked out of the observation post.

"Your Highness, Air Force report!"

Just as Zhu Zhangui walked out of the observation post, Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief, came over with a telegram.

He raised his hand to stop Zhang Fu who wanted to report, Zhu Zhangui looked at him seriously and said: "Don't show me, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle, how to fight is your business, as long as the result and me and grandpa come out Any questions, we only come to you"

Hearing this, Zhang Fu took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and a lot of pressure suddenly increased on his shoulders.

The 10 best troops, including the most advanced air force, were entrusted to him to command. This is the trust of the emperor, the emperor, and the prince.

For this reason, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must fight this battle well and repay the trust of the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince.

Passing the telegram to the adjutant behind him, Zhang Fu turned to look at the army commanders who stood neatly at attention and were on standby.

"Order: The Artillery Corps is ready to bombard the aircraft and airships immediately after the bombing. Order: The Dragon Rocket Corps, focus fire on the enemy's city gate area, and open the offensive channel for our army. Order: The Vanguard Army Corps, do a good job of crossing the river When the Shenlong rocket launcher is fired, cross the river immediately to seize the best attack distance point, and once the shelling stops, launch an attack immediately!"

"Every army, every post, strictly abide by the military order. If there is any violation, delay, or delay, all will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Fu's sonorous and powerful voice raised the spirits of all the army commanders and officers present to their peak.

After Zhang Fu gave the order, all the officers and generals stood at attention and saluted.

"As ordered!"

Zhang Fu looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, brothers, I have waited five or six years for this battle, and I have also been looking forward to it for five or six years. Now that the opportunity has come, I hope you will not disappoint the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty." , the crown prince and the people of the world, what is expected of us!"

All the officers stood at attention and pounded their chests heavily.

"If you don't break the enemy army, you will never turn around!"

Zhang Fu raised his hand in salute.

Time slowly came to the end of Youshi, and all the troops were ready for the battle.

The artillerymen finished loading the shells, and the gunner held the gun rope in his hand, waiting quietly for the firing order.

All 30 rocket launchers of the Shenlong Rocket Launcher Corps are on standby, and the ignition hands are holding the crank, ready to launch all these rockets at any time.

The vanguard army in charge of the main attack, the soldiers of each squad, squatted beside the boat facing the slowly flowing Asan River, watching quietly, or resting with their eyes closed, waiting for the order from their superiors.

The Ming army was waiting quietly, and the army of the Timurid Empire on the opposite side was also waiting quietly.

Ever since the Ming army arrived here, Shah Ruk knew that a big battle was coming.

For this reason, he mobilized all the legions he could mobilize, and a full 15 troops were stationed on this line of defense.

Although in terms of numbers, he is nearly 5 more than the Ming army, and he still occupies such a dangerous position, but he is still not sure of winning.

He didn't know what was going on with Osman's side. He asked many times, and Omurad said that the attack was going well. He just asked him to stabilize the defense and block the Ming army.

As for when to come to support him, Omurad did not give an exact time, but only said that he would come to support him after the Roco Kingdom was settled.

A few days ago, when he received the message that the Ming army began to gather towards the Baisha line of defense, he knew that the most difficult battle was coming.

In order to block the Ming army and buy time for the Ottoman Empire, he almost mobilized 1/3 of the country's army to gather here, hoping to fight a vigorous blocking battle here.

Before dawn today, the general guarding the gate woke him up and told him that there was movement on the opposite side.

Shah Ruh, who had guessed in his heart for a long time, immediately called all the troops and made preparations to meet the enemy.

"Great God, please bless your people, achieve this victory and protect our homeland."

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Shahru, who finished praying, prayed again in his heart, and looked solemnly at the Ming army on the other side of the river, which was densely packed and ready to attack.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

When the time slowly reached Xu, there was a sudden buzzing sound from the southeast.

Shaharu looked in that direction subconsciously, and saw a group of small black spots flying towards the place where the sun was rising.

"What's that? A flock of birds?"

Shaharu's eyes were blank, he had never heard such a sound from a flying bird.

"coming!"

The old man at the observation post suddenly raised his binoculars and looked to the southeast.

When he saw the golden characters printed on the wings of the plane, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At the same time, a call came from the radio station next to it.

"The flight brigade of the space department called the ground. We have entered the operation area. May I ask if we will launch an attack now!"

Zhang Fu, who also came to observe the photo, immediately picked up the microphone and said loudly: "I am the commander-in-chief of this operation, Zhang Fu."

"I have met Zhang Shuai. I am Gao Hang, the captain of the flight brigade. The flight brigade of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Space is under your command."

"Okay!" Zhang Fu responded, and ordered loudly: "Now I order your troops to launch a bombing attack on the enemy's No. 1 and No. 3 areas."

"After the attack is completed, you should immediately return to reload and prepare for the next round of attack!"

"The Flight Brigade of the Space Department received and began to execute the attack order."

Zhang Fu exhaled softly, "Da Ming Wan Sheng!"

Gao Hang, who was wearing a headset, also shouted in response.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

The signal was interrupted, Gao Hang dialed the internal channel, and ordered to 50 aircraft: "The second and third teams attack the enemy's No. 3 target, and the first, fourth and fifth teams follow me to attack the enemy's No. 1 target! "

"The third team received..."

"Second Squad understands..."

Soon, the responses of the various team leaders came from the headset, and then the flying team was divided into two, one flew to the western area of ​​the Baisha defense line, and the other flew to the gate of the Baisha defense line.

"What a big bird!"

This is the first reaction of soldiers of the Timurid Empire when they saw the plane.

Everyone is wondering where this very large bird came from.

However, when the plane lowered its altitude and began to prepare for the dive bombing, they could clearly see the markings on the plane.

"It's the Ming army, it's the strange bird raised by the Ming army..."

Soldiers who knew the characters and signs of Ming Dynasty screamed in fright when they saw the bright characters, and some even turned around and wanted to run away.

"No running around, no shouting, offenders will be killed without mercy!"

The officers roared angrily, and after a burst of shouting and threatening to whip, the soldiers calmed down.

However, before the officers could breathe a sigh of relief, strange screams came from the sky.

"woo woo woo woo……"

A sound like howling hell ghosts sounded from the sky, and ten Xuanniao fighters, two in a row, swooped down against the defensive wall.

"The strange bird is coming, the strange bird is going to eat people, the great Allah, help!"

The terrifying screams and shocking dives made the soldiers of the Timurid Empire, who had just settled down, riot again.

"asshole!"

An officer roared angrily. Looking at the terrified soldiers who turned around and ran away, he swung his knife angrily and wanted to chop off.

"jiji..."

A shrill chirping sound sounded from the top of his head. The officer subconsciously looked up and saw two strange birds suddenly laying two eggs. The chirping sound came from those two eggs.

"Are they planning to egg us to death?"

This was the first thought in the officer's mind, and before he had a second thought, a bird's egg fell in front of him.

Then... "Boom..."

Dive, drop bombs, pull up...

Aircraft in double formation strictly completed the offensive tactics taught by the captain.

It's just that this is their first live ammunition attack. Most of the bombs did not land on the exact location, and many of them exploded outside the defense line.

Although the air force's accuracy was very bad, it brought a great psychological impact to the soldiers of the Timurid Empire.

No matter how powerful Ming's soldiers were, they would still die if they were hit by a gun.

No matter how powerful the enemy's shells are, as long as the distance is far away, they can be avoided.

But facing this attack from the sky, the soldiers of the Timurid Empire were in a daze of panic.

They didn't know where to hide, let alone how to launch a counterattack.

"Okay, nice job!"

Pointing at the binoculars, the old man watched the plane bombing, laughed happily, and kept patting the handrail in front of him, even if his hands were all red from the shock, he didn't notice anything.

Although the bombing deterrent effect of the aircraft is very strong, the bombs carried by the aircraft are limited after all.

50 fighter jets, each carrying two bombs, are only a hundred bombs.

Even though the 100-jin bomb is very powerful, it is not a fatal threat to the Baisha defense line that has spent countless manpower building for several years.

After all the planes had finished bombing, the Baisha defense line was only breached, and no section of the city wall had collapsed.

"All the fighter planes act separately, launch strafing shots at the enemy troops, and wait for the airship troops to arrive!"

Seeing that all the fighter planes had finished bombing, Gao Hang gave the order to shoot freely.

This order was requested by Zhu Zhangui. In addition to increasing the psychological deterrence of the soldiers of the Timurid Empire, another purpose is to let these pilots who have not experienced actual combat use the battlefield as a training ground to hone their skills. Fan own fighting techniques.

The pilots, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, cheered in groups of two and one after another along the city wall of the Baisha line of defense, strafing frantically to their heart's content.

"Da da da……"

The three machine guns spat out flames frantically, and the bullets plowed through the city wall of the Baisha line of defense like iron plows.

Wherever they passed, blood rained, and there were bursts of screams and wailing.

"Huhuhu..."

While the pilots were conducting actual combat training, there was another movement from the southeast.

Twenty refitted airships flew over with bombing devices hanging on them.

"Okay, stop playing, the airship is coming, we should go back and replenish ammunition"

Gao Hang, who had finished firing bullets a long time ago, saw that the airship corps had arrived and knew that their mission had been completed, so he ordered all the planes to assemble to form a flying battle formation, and flew over the assembled Ming army on standby.

It was also the first time to see a plane, and the soldiers of the Asan Provincial Legion who were also very shocked cheered loudly to the planes that flew over their heads and greeted them.

"Gao Hang is a good guy, and he knows how to improve the morale of the Corps!"

Walking out of the observation post, looking at the flying brigade that had already flown away, the old man smiled and praised.

Zhang Fu on the side nodded, and also praised: "This person is good, his actions have improved my sergeant's performance by at least [-]%!"

"Haha, Wen Bi, the morale of our army is like a rainbow. If you can't fight a good battle for me, I will ask you alone!"

"Please don't worry, the Supreme Emperor. I can't take down the Baisha line of defense today. I will come to see you!"

"Okay, listen to this to cheer me up, I'm waiting for your good news!"

The old man patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder in satisfaction, returned to the observation post in a happy mood, and continued to observe the ensuing battle.

While the old man was talking to Zhang Fu, the airship troops had already launched an attack.

The areas they bombed are still No. 1 and No. 3

These two are the breakthrough points chosen by Zhang Fu. Once these two places are breached, the Ming army can split the attack from left to right and take down the entire Baisha defense line in one fell swoop.

This time, because it was a fixed-point bombing, the airship did not carry a small bomb, but it was the first time that it carried the 1-jin heavy bomb that is currently the heaviest in Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the relatively small number of shells, each airship only carried two shells.

But even two are enough.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The deafening sound of the explosion shook people's eardrums, and the 800-jin bomb exploded like an ancient giant smashing the ground with a hammer, causing the ground to vibrate one after another.

"Crash..."

After carrying several explosions in a row, Target No. 1, which was designated as the main attack point, finally couldn't bear the devastation of the explosions and collapsed.

"it is good!"

Another burst of applause came from the observation post, and deafening cheers came from the frontline attacking troops.

After the 20 airships dropped the bombs and slowly flew towards the base, the No. 1 and No. 3 areas of the Baisha Defense Line of the Timurid Empire had become ruins.

Shaharu believed that the defense fortress that could last at least a year, failed to withstand the ravages of Daming's madness, and two fatal gaps appeared.

"Stop...block..."

Looking at the gap blasted out by the Ming army, Shah Ruh, commanding from the rear, roared wildly.

But before his order was conveyed, there was movement again in the Ming army's position in the distance.

"Attention all guns, listen to my password, three rapid fire, let go!"

Following the order of the commander in charge of the artillery, 500 artillery pieces transferred from the plateau area, and 300 artillery pieces owned by the Asan Corps, started the second round of inhumane madness towards the Baisha defense line that had been destroyed by the air force once. Destroy!

At the same time, Zhang Fu picked up the microphone and ordered with a serious expression: "Attention the forward army, I am the commander-in-chief Zhang Fu, and now I order to start crossing the river!"
