Chapter 1499: The importance of artillery

"Our Zhao Guo's taxation is not a problem at all." At this time, Guo Kai laughed optimistically after hearing Meng Yi's method of allocating bonds.

"Humph." Meng Yi smiled at this moment and shook his head.

"Zhao Guo's taxation is not a problem, because the taxation is too serious, which has caused strong domestic fluctuations. Such taxes are not a problem at all. I really admire the courage of the Prime Minister Zhao Guo." Meng Yi thought inwardly at this time.

"What is Zhao Guo doing? The chaos in his own country has become like this. It shouldn't be a problem." Han Shu also shook his head and thought at this time.

The camp of the Temporary Garrison of the Republic of Korea's New Army Qi. That is the camp where Shang Wen is located.

"Sir, bad news." A South Korean new army major said anxiously.

"What news?" the colonel asked at this time.

"Our camp is about to be attacked by the Chu army in the south," the major said.

"What?" the colonel asked, looking at the major in surprise at this time.

"Yes, sir," the major said firmly.

"Our scouts to the south discovered that the forward of the Chu army was approaching here quickly. Their intention was to cut off the material support channel from South Korea through Wei to Qi." The major said at this time.

"Where is Qi Jun?" the colonel asked at this time.

"I don't know. They don't exist." The major said at this time.

"I don't know? Doesn't exist?" The colonel looked at each other firmly and asked.

"Yes. Sir," the major replied at this time.

"Qi Jun has very little resistance in this direction. Most of them have been broken up and become guerrillas." The major said, looking at the colonel.

"Huh." The colonel exhaled.

"How many of them are there?" the colonel asked at this moment.

"About two thousand troops." The major said at this time.

"We are less than a hundred people." The colonel said at this time.

"We are just a garrison," the major said.

"Together, there are only two combat companies." The major said.

"Huh. We still have a big man here, your lord, let us try our best to keep this big man." The colonel said at this time.

"However, our strength is too small," the major retorted.

"Immediately send a telegram to Xinzheng. Request reinforcements. Hurry." The colonel shouted loudly at this time.

"Yes. It's the sir." The major saluted and left immediately.

"Thanks to this big man. We have become a battlefield here." The colonel sat down and shook his head.

"Assemble. Assemble." A new South Korean army officer shouted loudly. His subordinates gathered together extremely busy.

"What do they want to do?" Shang Wen was thinking about how to get out of here, but he saw a large number of South Korean soldiers gathering. He didn't know why these soldiers had to assemble suddenly.

"Did something happen?" Shang Wen looked nervously at the assembled soldiers.

"It's going to fight." Mo Li walked over and took a look at this moment and said.

"Fight?" Shang Wen asked inexplicably.

"Yes. Fighting. Those soldiers are holding their weapons. Strengthen the defense. Didn't you see that those soldiers are murderous? There must be something wrong." Mo Li said at this time.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"The analysis makes sense." Shang Wen said in his heart at this time.

"I'll ask. Something must have happened." Shang Wen said to Mo Li at this time.

Speaking of Shang Wen, he left in a hurry.

"What happened?" Shang Wen rushed into the colonel's office and asked.

"Strengthen the defense in the direction facing the south," the colonel said to a captain. At the same time, the colonel made gestures on his map.

"Do you really want to fight?" Shang Wen asked the colonel who saw the homework on the gesture chart.

"En. There is indeed going to be a war. Maybe there is no need to fight." The colonel looked at Shang Wen and said.

"I hope the chief can cooperate with us. We are to ensure the safety of the chief. It is safe here." The colonel looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Can you explain it?" Shang Wen asked curiously.

"The Chu army is south of us. They are approaching us quickly. They intend to cut off the entire Qi army's logistics supply line." said the colonel.

"Oh." Shang Wen nodded.

"The sir had better stay in place and don't move. We will ensure your safety," the colonel said.

"En. Thank you. I will take care of myself." Shang Wen said.

"Strengthen defense on this side of the row." A South Korean new army lieutenant shouted loudly, waving his arms loudly. A group of South Korean soldiers quickly ran to the fortifications.

The Chu Army troops that had finished driving thirty miles away.

"I heard. What temporary camp was built by the Koreans on the border of Qi. There is a large stock of materials. If these materials enter our hands, we will solve a big problem. Moreover, the logistics supply line of the Qi people is cut off. Drop. We will be able to successfully win the Qi State." A middle-aged general said while sitting on the chariot.

"En. We are going to seize such a stronghold, and then we will own it. Then cut off the logistics support of the Qi army, so that Qi will quickly fail. This is very beneficial to us." At this time, another general of the Chu army. Said.

"We want to launch an offensive immediately," said the middle-aged general of the Chu army.

"But we don't have a cannon." The general said at this time.

"Just give it a try." Chu Jun's middle-aged general said.

"En." The general nodded at this time.

The Chu army was advancing quickly with infantry, and the artillery could not keep up in time because of the road conditions. Such a situation is beneficial to the Alignment Army, but as time delays, the artillery will launch an offensive sooner or later.

"Sure enough, we are going to war here." Shang Wen said to Mo Li.

"En." Mo Li said calmly.

"Just in time, we can leave here. The Chu army attacked. It will definitely fight desperately. At that time, we can just leave." Mo Li said.

"Is that too dangerous?" Shang Wen said while looking at Mo Li at this time.

"This woman is more courageous than I thought. Doesn't he know? It's a war now. In a war, neither side will take care of the other." Shang Wen looked at Mo Li and thought.

"Crazy. Leaving in chaos on the battlefield. It's really good. But too dangerous. This woman." Shang Wen thought with some worry.

Mo Li saw Shang Wen's frown. Looking at Shang Wen anxiously.

"This guy is timid again." Mo Li looked at Shang Wen with disdain.

"Huh. I admire your courage. By doing this, you can indeed get rid of the current predicament." Shang Wen nodded and said at this time.

"But, it's too dangerous. I need to plan. And. This is the battlefield. We don't know what will happen to the enemy's offensive?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"Too dangerous." Shang Wen said nervously.

"Why? Are you scared?" Mo Li looked at Shang Wen and said.

"No. I'm not afraid." Shang Wen decisively refused.

"I think. A plan should be made rationally. We first need to know how the battle between the Korean New Army and the Chu Army will happen." Shang Wen said at this time.

"We need to formulate a detailed plan and can't act blindly. In this case, it is easy to go wrong." Shang Wen continued.

"I'll take a look." Shang Wen said at this time.

"How is the situation with reconnaissance?" the colonel asked a lieutenant on the side at this time.

"The Chu army is approaching quickly. The number is about two to three thousand. We did not see artillery following, mostly infantry. In other words, they did not have the main heavy weapon to attack our fortifications." The lieutenant said.

"En." The colonel nodded.

"But there are more of them than us. How do we defend?" the lieutenant asked.

"Stick to your position. For mobile defensive operations, we must retain a sufficient reserve team. For mobile defensive operations," the colonel continued.

"En. It seems that the colonel's combat thinking is very correct." Shangwen watched the upper corrections at this time laying out the final defense.

"The Chu army has a large number of infantry. But the most dangerous is the artillery. The infantry attack is strong in effective fortifications and is easy to resist. However, the artillery attack will destroy us here." The colonel continued.

"We must destroy the opponent's artillery." The colonel said worriedly.

For the infantry attack. The colonel is not too worried. Because in the era of firearms, as long as the defending side had fortifications, it was easy to repel the other side. The existence of firearms. It is beneficial to the defensive side. This is an important reason for the cessation of offensive warfare before the emergence of tanks. Trench warfare replaced the previous large-scale mobile warfare.

"But we don't have a cavalry unit." The lieutenant said at this time.

"To attack the artillery unit, you don’t need cavalry. We can choose a team of auspicious soldiers. Directly launch an infantry attack, which is very beneficial to us. The situation of the Chu army is that the artillery and infantry lack coordination. The pace of the two is very different, so The situation is very beneficial to us." said the colonel.

"But doing so will be very detrimental to us. We have to divide our forces to attack each other's artillery." The lieutenant continued.

"If the other side's artillery attacks us, then we will be in great trouble," the colonel said.

"Whatever the cost, we must eliminate the opponent's artillery." The colonel said.

"Yes, sir." The officers present agreed.

The key to defensive operations is to eliminate the opposing artillery. After many battles, the colonel has summed up experience. Compared with the crazy offensive of the infantry. Artillery is more lethal than infantry. The long-range attack of artillery can pose a great threat to defensive operations. The artillery firepower was a devastating blow to the defensive warfare.

At this time, the officers of the Korean New Army had realized the importance of artillery. Emphasizing firepower has become an important change in the thinking of the new South Korean army.
