Chapter 1117: Crazy Bombardment
It is impossible to retreat, not in this life!
Zinoviev's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, looking at this uneven place, and quickly thought about how to deal with it.
If you withdraw because of the small defense line of the Ming army, you will only appear to be too incompetent, how will you see people in the future?
Zinoviev thought about it, but for a while he did not think of a good plan, so he had to order a bombardment with artillery.
In order to solve it once and for all, he generously transferred all the artillery of the entire legion, and strived to solve it beautifully!
On the second day, after the artillery array of the Russian army was in place, ten artillery companies with a total of 120 artillery pieces carried out carpet shelling of the Ming army's bunker group within a radius of about three miles.
All of a sudden, the sound of booming and rumbling was endless, shaking the heavens and the earth, and black plumes of smoke continued to rise into the air, and the splashed earth covered almost the entire bunker group.
This was the first large-scale concentrated artillery attack by the Russian army, and seeing such momentum, Zinoviev's confidence in being shattered was once again condensed, and he watched the battle with a smile.
In his mind, this flowering bomb invented by Ming Guo is very powerful! It's powerful! Exploding these turtle shells should be fine!
In the foreign wars of the Ming Dynasty, flowering shells were used many times, especially naval artillery, and they were used every time in several naval battles with Western countries, which aroused the attention of Western countries to this weapon of destruction.
At the beginning, at the five world conferences of Ming, Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands held every three years, the remaining four countries unanimously demanded that the Ming Dynasty not use flowering bombs, and called on the Ming Dynasty to disarm and destroy the Dongfeng rocket, on the grounds of maintaining world peace......
The four major European powers forced Lai Lai for several years, but the Ming not only ignored them, but also continued to increase troops in North Africa and Portugal, arranging artillery battalions and rocket battalions.
In the face of the toughness of the Ming Dynasty, the four countries began to do everything possible to want to blossom the bomb technology, and sent many missions to the Ming Dynasty, giving gifts and licking them, and they didn't get the technology for a few years.
Eventually, an Englishman, based on the grenade technology introduced to Europe from China in the 15th century, tried to install a grenade with a tail rod, insert it into a small cannon muzzle and fire it with black powder, thus creating the flowering bullet.
Stabbing oneself has always been a traditional art of the British Empire, and it is no surprise that this technology was secretly sold by a certain nobleman of the military!
Seemingly overnight, the whole of Europe got the technology of flowering bombs, and even Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which were eager to join the world's top five seats, also acquired this technology and stepped up production and arranged it in the army.
Tsar Alexei I also created artillery arms, each with one hundred and twenty people in each artillery company, equipped with ten guns.
The European flowering bomb technology, after continuous improvement, has almost the same performance as the previous Ming Dynasty.
However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and the Shenwu army had begun to gradually install yellow explosives that were more powerful than black powder.....
With the frantic bombardment of the Russian artillery array, a major earthquake seemed to have occurred in the bunker of the Ming army.
The violent explosion and strong vibration made the ears of the Ming soldiers in the fort buzz and painful.
Cui Xiang felt that the whole earth was trembling, and he opened his mouth wide and shouted: "Quickly read your ears with cotton cloth, and open your mouth!" ”
The soldiers in the fort quickly left the gun hole, away from the bunker wall, lying on their stomachs in the sand, their mouths wide open......
The Ming army had long been prepared for enemy shelling, and each bunker was covered with a layer of nearly half a meter of sand to prevent earthquakes.
At first, the Ming army was unaware of the shock of the shelling on the bunker, and during the exercise, a ten-man soldier was bled to death by the shock.....
The Russian artillery frantically vented shells into the bunker group, as if only by razing this bunker to the ground could they vent the anger in their hearts!
Zinoviev looked at the bunker group in front of him filled with gunsmoke and a mess, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the city of Yili, Qi Guangyang, the protector of the northern capital, was observing the battle ahead with a telescope, and when he saw Mao Zi's indiscriminate bombardment, he also showed a smug smile on his face.
The Russian artillery fire seems to be ferocious, but in fact the power is far less strong than that of the Ming army's exercises, not to mention that the bunker is not opened, and the concussion caused by it is difficult to have much impact on the soldiers in the fort, it is purely a waste of artillery shells!
Sure enough, after half a day of shelling by the Russian army, the coalition soldiers were shocked to find that the dirt bags in front of them were almost immovable! Only the surrounding bombed areas are potholes......
The corners of Zinoviev's mouth twitched slightly, and he realized that he had made a mistake, and although the flowering bullets were powerful, they did not seem to be of much use for this kind of construction.
So he ordered to use solid shells to demolish the bunker instead, and the penetration of solid shells is not strong!
However, he still underestimated the defensive capabilities of the Ming army bunker, or rather, he did not know anything about the concept of reinforced concrete!
The artillery of the Russian army seemed to be fed up, and there was another overwhelming bombardment, but the result was still useless.
After the shelling, the bunker array of the Ming army was silent and silent.
Zinoviev didn't seem to understand, and he vaguely guessed in his heart, after so many shells were fired, were the Ming soldiers inside shocked to death?
Thinking of this, the resentment in Zinoviev's heart calmed down a little.
With the bloody lessons of yesterday, he decided to send only one company of men over to investigate.
The military establishment of the Russian army is very similar to that of modern times, with a company of 120 people, and also the ranks of colonel and lieutenant colonel, which are the establishment of the rank of chief and deputy regiment commander, as well as captain, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, and warrant officer......
It can be said that the current military establishment of several Western powers basically has the rudiments of modern military ranks.
After this connection was connected to the reconnaissance order, one by one they were frightened, but the military order was like a mountain, and they had to obey it, and the 120 Russian soldiers could only stubbornly walk forward, with guns in their hands and cats on their waists.
Carrying the flag of the Russian army is a warrant officer, thirteen years ago, the Russian army for the first time called a warrant officer, usually appointed from among the bravest, robust, and battle-tested soldiers.
However, this standard-bearer can be said to be frightened step by step, looking back step by step......
At a distance of 100 meters from the bunker group, the most courageous Russian standard-bearer lay directly on the ground and crawled forward, followed by 100 Russian troops, almost reflexively lying down at the same time, and their uniform movements made the coalition soldiers in the rear all amazed.
Kazakh Army General Tou Ke praised: "Marshal, your army is well-trained and always shows the demeanor of a strong army, which is really admirable!" ”
The corners of Zinoviev's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly, he didn't know that when did the training course lie down in the army of the Russian Empire?
The reconnaissance company of the Russian army, like a swarm of earthworms, slowly crawled forward......
The closer they got to the bunker, the more nervous the group of Russian soldiers became, as if they were climbing the Huangquan Road, and their hearts were in their throats.
