Chapter 501: Artillery Opens the Way

Lin Ziran held the binoculars and looked at the large pieces of sharp bamboo and wooden stakes in front of the enemy's fortifications outside the city, as well as the huge craters in the nearby hollows and the wailing Southern Navy soldiers nearby, and couldn't help frowning!

These people in Quyang Prefecture are scheming!

In fact, in many areas of the defense line, wooden stakes and sharp bamboo pieces were deployed to block the offensive route of the infantry of the South Navy, and at the same time, in some places that seemed to have loopholes, explosives were planted in advance, and when the attacking South Navy soldiers encountered obstacles head-on and wanted to bypass from the side, they just happened to enter these places where the explosives were planted in advance, and in the end, there was often a bang, and the attacking troops flew into the sky......

The frontal deployment of the defensive line, the ambush with explosives on the flanks, and the ambush with dense rear-loading rifle fire, this set made the South Navy, which had always been smooth sailing, suffer losses when it first launched an attack.

Although the total number is not large, and only a few hundred people are killed or wounded, you must know that this is only the first wave of attacks, and the number of troops invested is only one division.

"Let the artillery units clear the way!" After Lin Ziran saw it, he directly gave an order!

The enemy's sharp stakes, bamboo chips, etc., are not unstoppable, in fact, after a dense artillery fire, these defensive measures will be finished, after all, this thing does not look like barbed wire.

The reason for not doing this was purely because the artillery units thought that if they did this, they would need to consume a lot of shells, and the infantry units on the front line were confident that they could bypass it themselves, and the artillery units only needed to shell the enemy's defensive lines.

Outcome...... It's to enter someone's trap!

However, since they have already detected the trap of the enemy, then the South China Navy will tell them with facts that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless!

As the order was delivered, the artillery units began to mobilize their artillery, especially when the 150-millimeter was intensively shelled on various obstacle areas of the enemy, and with the continuous boom, those wooden stakes, the bamboo pieces disappeared.

After clearing a section of the line of defense, these heavy guns began to extend their artillery fire, intensively shelling the enemy's defensive main positions behind the obstacles!

At the same time, the infantry who had been waiting for a long time on the front line also launched frequent, multiple, sporadic infiltration attacks, these soldiers passed through the craters, alternately covering the advance, and soon approached the front of the enemy position.

At this time, a grenade was thrown over, and as soon as the grenade exploded, they launched a final charge!

It won't be long before the gunfire, explosions, and fighting on this position will stop one after another, and the infantry units of the Southern Navy have completely controlled this section of the position.

Most of the enemy troops stationed in this position were killed and wounded, and some fled!

Although this offensive method consumes a little more shells, it will cause problems for the ammunition supply of the South Navy.

However, on the side of Grand City, which is the key supply area of the logistics department of the Southern Navy, there may be a shortage of ammunition in other places, but the ammunition here is still sufficient.

Besides, when the South China Sea attacked this time, it was actually very restrained in the use of artillery.

In the past, before the infantry launched a full-fledged attack, artillery units would often carry out artillery bombardments on enemy positions that lasted for a whole day or even several days.

This is also the reason why when the former South Korean Navy was fighting, it was rare to encounter these wooden stakes, bamboo chips and other obstacles.

It's not that the enemy forces are not deployed, but most of them have long been blown up by artillery......

However, it is really uncommon to predict the infiltration and offensive routes of the infantry of the South Navy, plant explosives in advance, and concentrate the firepower of rear-loading rifles.

In the past, when the infantry of the South China Sea attacked, the enemy's infantry defense line was basically facing a collapse, and it was unlikely that it would be possible to organize any effective defense.

It was also difficult for them to judge the specific offensive route of the infantry of the Southern Navy.

Because the combat methods of the Southern Navy are different from those of other contemporary feudal units, the infantry of the Southern Navy adopts a new type of light infantry tactics that pay attention to scattering and roundabout infiltration and attack, and when fighting, they all pay attention to concealment, and make use of the terrain if they can make use of it, unless they are fighting in an unobstructed open field, otherwise the infantry of the Southern Navy will never stupidly stand up and rush up directly......

In many cases, it is actually difficult for the enemy to figure out where the large number of infantry of the South China Navy is, and they can only be inferred based on firepower and careful observation, let alone predict the offensive line of the South China Sea infantry.

This seemingly messy, ununified scattered and roundabout infiltration offensive tactics has made many enemies of the Nanan Navy experience despair!

During the previous Battle of Southern Zicheng, Hou Zheming, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Corps in Zishengzhou, was shocked and even desperate at the infantry tactics of the Southern Navy, and finally advised Feng Ziqi to immediately reform the Third Division and other main forces.

I have to say that although the reform time is a little shorter, and many things are in vain, after the reform of the Third Division under Feng Ziqi, its combat strength still far exceeds that of other troops that still use line tactics, and its performance in the Battle of Chongke City is more eye-catching.

Although this third division was inevitably defeated, and even lost more than half of it!

But to tell the truth, this third division is already the most capable of fighting among the many enemy forces that the Southern Navy has encountered in the southern and northern wars over the years.

Now Feng Ziqi is shrinking in Youshang County, after the main force of the Southern Navy withdrew from Youshang County, he continued to make great efforts to carry out in-depth reform and training of the Third Division under his command, so why are they already only training with the infantry drill on the side of the Southern Navy......

The organizational system and tactics of the troops are moving closer to the South China Navy in an all-round way......

From this, in fact, it can also be seen that the system and tactics of the Southern Navy are very different from the troops of other feudal towns, and it is difficult for ordinary enemies to judge what the Southern Navy wants to do even when they are engaged in a war with the Southern Navy!

Sometimes, you will find that there seem to be soldiers of the Southern Navy all over the mountains, and it seems that every direction is the main direction of attack of the Southern Navy, but if you look closely, you will find that every direction is not the main direction of attack of the Southern Navy......

The chaotic infiltration and attack methods of the South Korean Navy on the battlefield, the South China Navy's own commanders were not dizzy, and the enemy's commanders were already dizzy......

But this time, the defenders of Quyang Prefecture on the opposite side were not stunned!

Even, several possible main offensive routes of the South Korean Navy were predicted in advance, and a large number of explosives were planted in advance!

At the same time, during the battle, the roundabout offensive routes of many South China naval forces were also judged, and a large number of infantry were mobilized to ambush and intercept.

Although the follow-up Southern Navy decisively used heavy artillery to open the way, smashed the enemy's conspiracy and tricks, and directly took down many important sections of the enemy's defense line, Lin Ziran still frowned.

It seems that these Quyang Prefecture troops on the other side have carefully studied the Southern Navy, otherwise it would be impossible to be so familiar with every move of the Southern Navy.

Moreover, the other side is also equipped with a large number of rear-loading rifles, and judging from the engagement just now, the other side should also be equipped with some rifled artillery, but I don't know whether it is rear-loading or front-loading.

However, regardless of whether they are front-loaded or rear-loaded, these small number of rifled guns have caused some trouble to the South China Navy.

What should I do in this case?

What else can be done, naturally it is the old rule: if you are undecided, you will shell directly!

Open the way with heavy artillery!
