Chapter 555: The Earliest Air Force
But the navy is the navy after all, if it is a naval battle, with the strength of the Yang family's navy, there is naturally no need to be afraid of anyone. But this time what they have to do is to occupy the dock and land the operation, which will be much more troublesome.
Advanced artillery allows the navy to capture the port of Keelung, but it still has to land in the end, and the pier is originally a huge slope, which means that soldiers need to attack on their backs, which is equivalent to putting their bodies in the hands of the enemy, maybe they can take it down, but they really don't know how much it will cost.
In comparison, if the army can make a breakthrough, then the navy only needs to provide artillery support, which has become much simpler. What should you do in the face of countless trenches that are wrong?
On this issue, a number of officers put forward various opinions, and in particular, the newly established General Staff Department of the Military Department even proposed the method of flooding. It is only necessary to pour a large amount of seawater into this trench, and the enemy who is hiding here cannot help but not come out and not retreat, so that the initiative of the war will naturally be in his own hands.
I have to say that the idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement. First of all, we have to solve the problem of water sources, although it is said that there is no shortage of water in the vicinity, but how to bring those seawater into the trenches? You must know that the terrain here can be high and low. And even if you can borrow a large pump made by the arsenal and the power plant to bring seawater here, have you considered the amount of work?
Besides, the enemy won't wait there stupidly, waiting for you to drown them, and people won't find a way to drain the water outward? In the end, one is filled, one is platoon, and I really don't know when it is the head.
Some people also say that they can use grenades to open the way, and they will blow up when they encounter a trench.
Nor is that an option. I don't know where the other party is, and if there is no enemy, you still have to blow it up, wouldn't it be a waste of grenades? The amount of these hundreds of acres of land is too great. Second, if you have just blown up a trench and thought it was safe, but the enemy did move here at the right time, wouldn't it be a death for you to rush forward unsuspectingly?
So whether it was water irrigation or grenade opening the way, it was ultimately denied. In the end, everyone's eyes were on Yang Chendong, and it seemed that in their eyes, there was nothing in the world that could be embarrassed to the sixth young master.
Facing the light of everyone's expectation, Yang Chendong showed a bearing as a leader. With a confident face, he seemed to be telling everyone that none of this was a problem. As for how to solve it, he never said. Now that he finally came to the front line, and his eyes could already see the trenches standing in the distance, Leng Song and other army officers once again set their expectant eyes on Yang Chendong.
"It's a nice day, it's good." Yang Chendong didn't seem to notice that everyone was looking at him, but instead looked up at the sky, looking in a good mood.
Among the officers who didn't know why the sixth young master said this, some of them were so anxious that they couldn't help but ask about countermeasures. But Yang Chendong's voice did come out one step ahead of everyone, "What's the hurry, didn't you say that if you officially launched an attack at nine o'clock, let the soldiers save their physical strength." ”
Being so little bit like Yang Chendong, the officers really couldn't say anything. Some people involuntarily looked at their watches, it was not yet 8:20, which meant that there were still forty minutes to prepare. Then it's equivalent to going down, let's see how the sixth young master creates miracles.
Everyone was waiting, and in the entire front army command post, only the watch on the wrist of each officer came from the occasional ticking sound.
This silence lasted for about twenty minutes, until the time came to 8:50, when suddenly there was a commotion among the soldiers of the regiments, battalions, and companies.
"What's going on?" As the commander of the first division of the army, and the only army division commander now, seeing that the big war was imminent, the sixth young master was by his side again, but the soldiers did suddenly have a change, he was very dissatisfied, and he was even more afraid that the sixth young master would blame, so he looked at Luo Po, the second regiment commander beside him.
Luo Po naturally understood the meaning, and hurriedly walked out of the front-line headquarters. But before he could ask what had happened to the soldiers, he saw everyone's gestures, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky, and the scene in front of him startled him.
In the originally clear blue sky, there were suddenly nearly twenty more large balloons flying in mid-air, and I saw that there were visible fires under those balloons, and they were slowly moving towards the battlefield sky.
"It's... This is the Eagle detachment! "Luo Po is also one of the senior cadres of the military department, so he naturally knows about the existence of the Eagle detachment. And he also knew that this unit was very mysterious when it was trained, that is, he couldn't know the details, and what he could know was that it was because the military department would take out a large amount of military salaries every month every year to provide the other party.
Considering that it was directly ordered by the sixth young master to be approved, no one in the officers below had any complaints. But I never expected that this army would become an army, and as soon as it came out, there were nearly twenty planes, and when they appeared in the sky, they immediately gave people a feeling of the might of the gods.
At that time, even if they had read books, most of them only knew how to read and settle accounts, and only a very small number of advanced people would study ancient studies, which could already be called university scholars and great scribes. But without exception, these scholars do not interpret the breeding of all things, in their opinion, it is just a sideshow, just a strange and obscene technique, and it is not on the table.
It is under this kind of thinking that they have a very awe of heaven and earth that they have not studied and understood. It's like a legend that people can go to heaven and earth, it's just a legendary existence, something that only those powers and immortals can do, and it can't be within the reach of man.
Just when everyone thought so, the Eagle detachment appeared. Not only did they appear, but they also soared in the sky, although the distance from the ground was only more than 100 meters and less than 200 meters, but this was beyond the prediction of humans at that time.
There are even some superstitious warriors who have begun to put down their guns and kneel down to worship.
It's no wonder that they are so, the influence of more than ten years or even decades has made it difficult for them to get in touch with such profound things at once. Although those who can become cold fronts have a certain cultural foundation, for most fighters, it is only
It's just limited to reading and looking at maps, and in the advanced ones, I'm sorry, they don't have time to learn, and they can't learn it.
Luo Po's knowledge and ability were naturally different from those of ordinary soldiers, but even so, he was so startled by the sudden appearance of the eagle detachment in the sky that he forgot to report what he had seen to the division commander.
It wasn't until Wu Sheng, the commander of the third regiment, also walked out of the command headquarters, came to stand beside him, and looked at the sky with an incredible expression, that Luo Po woke up, and then pulled this former subordinate and strode back to the headquarters.
The two regiment leaders came back, and Leng Song looked at him with an inquiring look.
Wu Sheng was still in a state of surprise, so naturally he couldn't answer, Luo Po's excitement and excitement calmed down a lot, and he could already use words to solve the reason. "Report to the division commander, a detachment of eagles has appeared above our heads, and they are hanging high in the sky, no different from gods."
"What?" Leng Song, who heard this answer, immediately wanted to say if your brain was broken, but considering that the sixth young master was by his side, Luo Po should not believe such a thing, so he finally didn't say anything questioning, but strode out of the command post and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Facts are facts, and they will not become non-existent because of who looks at them, and when Leng Song and the other officers turned back to the command post, everyone looked at Yang Chendong's gaze with a lot of awe.
They knew that the sudden appearance of this god-like air force must be the handiwork of the Sixth Young Master. In this world, he is the only one who can do this.
Sure enough, Yang Chendong waited for everyone's attention to fall on him, and finally spoke, "Yes, they are the Eagle Detachment, I call him the prototype of the Air Force." What do you think? Now with their cooperation, you only need to know how many enemies are hidden in which trench according to their command in the air, and at that time you are free to choose whether to blow up with grenades or directly rush in to kill the enemy. ”
The more Yang Chendong said it was an understatement, the more the officers below admired the five-body throw. This is their sixth young master, the god of war in their army, the god master in the hearts of the people, and only he can always think of the simplest and most effective solution when he encounters any problem.
After the generalization, it was time for the regimental and battalion-level officers to walk out of the headquarters. Yang Chendong also said just now that there are a total of 18 hot air balloons in the sky, and the main forces participating in the battle this time are three cold front regiments and three auxiliary regiments, one regiment and three battalions, which is exactly 18 battalion-level units. That is to say, a battalion can follow a hot air balloon and be commanded by them to break through the deranged trenches of the First Shang Clan.
Seeing that it was about nine o'clock in about five minutes, all the regimental and battalion-level officers went straight to the front-line troops and began to command the battle. When the news came out and all the soldiers knew that the hot air balloon above their heads was actually their allies and comrades-in-arms, the morale of the soldiers rose slowly, and the faces of the soldiers turned red, as if they had taken some hormones.
In comparison, the soldiers of the First Shang clan who were hiding in the trenches as ostriches on the opposite side were dumbfounded.
