Chapter 138 Battle of the City Wall

Yang Wei covered artillery fire for 10 minutes at a time. After the end, it was not a counterattack. The Northern Expeditionary Army took advantage of Yang Wei's stop to attack and immediately prepared to enter the position to attack. However, when the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the battlefield, Yang Wei led his fire battalion Immediately, another 10 minutes of artillery preparation was carried out again. w w. v m)

The sudden artillery fire caught the Northern Expeditionary Army who had just rushed out of the trenches by surprise, but at this moment, the artillery fire that swept over them like thunder and earth fire made them stunned.

The preparations for artillery fire this time have greatly impacted and deterred the hearts of the Northern Expeditionary Army. This attack is completely different from the previous round of innocuous artillery coverage. Soldiers fell one after another. Tang Shengzhi, who was standing in the command position, The hand holding the binoculars slowly lowered, and his mind was filled with a feeling of extreme powerlessness.

Tang Shengzhi never thought that Yang Wei, who he thought had no power to fight back, would have such a powerful artillery fire. Could it be that the previous artillery coverage was just a warning to him?

Tang Shengzhi immediately felt that he had been teased by Yang Wei again, and Yang Wei's military strength was several times beyond his estimate, which made Tang Shengzhi feel ashamed while being angry. This battle must be won!Even at all costs!Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 138

Twenty-one minutes of artillery preparation knocked Tang Shengzhi's three regiments out of combat effectiveness. In addition to the 10 24mm mortars fired by Yang Wei's fire battalion, many soldiers under Tang Shengzhi died when Yang Wei laid them in advance. mines.

Long before Tang Shengzhi's troops approached the city, Yang Wei had already planted landmines on the battlefield. Once Tang Shengzhi's troops attacked, Yang Wei would cover them with artillery fire and suppress them beyond the fire defense line. If Tang Shengzhi insisted on attacking Hangzhou, this would be Yang Wei. the next best thing to do.

Seeing the wounded and stumped soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army flying all over the place, Yang Wei felt uncomfortable, but Tang Shengzhi had no intention of retreating.It's just that the Taisho [-]-type machine gun is really irritating. When it was first purchased, the Japanese swore that the performance of this machine gun was extremely superior, but the performance in actual combat was extremely disappointing.

The Taisho 11-year machine gun is equipped with a funnel-shaped magazine. In theory, as long as the deputy shooter continuously fills the magazine with five rounds of clips, it can be fired continuously like a heavy machine gun.But in use, the soldiers of Tang Shengzhi's firepower company immediately found that this theoretical concept was really cheating. As long as more than [-] rounds were involved, the temperature of the barrel would be terribly hot, enough to reach a high temperature of nearly [-] degrees Celsius, causing the rifling to be worn out and the barrel to be damaged. Surface ablation, and because the barrel cannot be replaced, the Taisho Type [-] machine gun can be called a "disposable" machine gun.

Although accidents occurred frequently during the war, Tang Shengzhi personally supervised the battle, and the soldiers under him could only advance but not retreat. Even if some soldiers escaped the pre-laid mines and approached the firepower fortifications, there were still high-precision snipers waiting for them The Mauser sniper rifle hits hundreds of shots at a distance of [-] meters, and its accuracy is outrageous.

There was Yang Wei's army in the front, and the War Supervisor's army in the back. There were minefields on both sides. The entire battlefield was armed by Yang Wei to form an encirclement circle. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were surrounded in it.

Yang Wei looked at the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had come one after another, and the battle had become stalemate. Before the Northern Expeditionary Army approached the city of Hangzhou, there were already countless casualties. Yang Wei was just planning to fight a defeating battle to expel the Northern Expeditionary Army who came to attack the city, but Tang Shengzhi died. "Forcing" to the rear, has already shown a success-or-success attitude.

Tang Shengzhi then sent out the second division to increase troops and besieged the city for a week. In fact, at this time Tang Shengzhi also had the idea of ​​retreating. Through this battle, Tang Shengzhi had seen Yang Wei's strength. Unexpectedly, Yang Wei possessed more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces. From his own observations, the number of heavy artillery pieces was at least 120, which was more than the total number of heavy artillery pieces in the entire Northern Expedition Army.

In addition to strong firepower support, the civil engineering works Yang Wei set up in Hangzhou City are also very ingenious. The "Zigzag" trenches adopt a full-coverage form, and countless dark forts and hidden firepower points are set up around the city. The entire city wall is replaced As a fortification, it can exert the most powerful firepower attack no matter in offense or defense.

What made Tang Shengzhi even more alarmed was the powerful combat strength and superb quality of Yang Wei's fighters. ’ Shots were fired, but as long as the trigger was pulled, the bullets never missed.In the trenches, the teams transporting ammunition back and forth are neat and orderly, and the trenches have never been crowded.The ambulance soldiers are even more brave and fearless, and the figure of rescuing the wounded shuttles around every corner of the battlefield.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Tang Shengzhi's forehead. With Yang Wei's combat strength, it was extremely rare among all the forces in the country. If he had to compare the Northern Expedition Army's combat strength and fighting quality with Yang Wei's army, Tang Shengzhi would probably have to bow his head and sigh.

The firepower of the defenders was extremely strong, and they lacked artillery shells. After a week of besieging the city, Tang Shengzhi's troops suffered more than 2 casualties, but they could not even break through the first line of defense in Hangzhou City.

Standing beside Tang Shengzhi, Tian Weiguo watched the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. After a long sigh, he lowered his voice very seriously, "Has the commander noticed anything?"

Tang Shengzhi was upset at this moment, and he was even more annoyed when he saw Tian Weiguo. He asked sullenly and doubtfully, "What did you find?"

Tian Weiguo looked at the wounded who were being rescued and said: "During the first artillery cover, Yang Wei was clearly capable of directly defeating the first batch of soldiers of our army, but he withdrew the attack point of the artillery fire by fifty meters. It's just for deterrence, but I don't intend to use it as a means of attack. And just now I checked the soldiers' injuries. As long as the soldiers were shot by snipers, the wounds were often on the right arm. Didn't the commander Ever wonder why this is?"

Tang Shengzhi was not in the mood to play charades with Tian Weiguo, and he raised his eyebrows in a vicious voice and said loudly, "What do you mean? Just speak up if you have something to say."

Tian Weiguo sighed. Thinking back, Tang Shengzhi probably had the same attitude towards the subordinates sent by Yang Wei. Tian Weiguo couldn't help sighing: "I heard that Yang Wei originally planned to submit to the Northern Expedition Army, but was rejected by the army commander. See you today." Judging by Yang Wei's actions, it seems that he didn't want to kill the Northern Expeditionary Army."

In fact, Tang Shengzhi had thought of this a long time ago, but he was the one who made people go away with his vicious voice, so what else can he do now?You can't come to the door to ask for peace.And Tian Weiguo's afterthought made Tang Shengzhi furious, and couldn't help but angrily said: "What qualifications do these rebels [disruptive] parties have to submit to the Northern Expedition? It's his own business that he didn't kill the killer, but in this battle we We can only win but not lose, order the reserve team to go into battle, strengthen the frontal offensive, and definitely capture Hangzhou City!"
