Chapter 382: Momentum
After the political workers had finished preaching the policy and completed the initial mobilization work, He Ming walked in front of one of the teams.
A team of exactly 50 men was going to attack the city in the area covered by his infantry company.
As a platoon commander in the infantry company, the old man in the company was also an officer who had a little more deal with auxiliaries, and the company sent him, the second lieutenant platoon commander, to give a pre-battle briefing to these pioneers.
He Ming looked at the group of soldiers from Dongjiang Town, the former Ming Kingdom, wearing the clothes that had just been pulled from the corpse of the Houjin Army yesterday, and frowned unconsciously.
Most of the clothes worn by the Houjin army were snatched from the people of the Ming Kingdom, and even the people who wore women's clothes were not few. Originally, there were all kinds of flowers, and there were all kinds of things.
Some of these auxiliaries robbed the robes of the Houjin army, and some robbed the underwear under the enemy's robes, and none of them were fitted or set anyway, just like beggars holding a meeting.
They sat on the ground, only a pair of dark eyes, staring at He Ming curiously, they felt very curious about this kind of pre-war briefing.
Originally, when setting off from Lushun, the logistics department had already issued everyone a cotton coat made by a domestic factory as winter marching equipment.
However, this group of people, one by one, kept the cotton clothes for their families, and did not choose to wear the cotton clothes to go out to fight.
Because, they all came out with the mentality of sending them to death, they just thought that before they died, they could earn a few mouthfuls of food for their families to spend the winter, and the cotton clothes were also extremely valuable materials in their opinion, and they could not be wasted on the bodies of the dying people.
He Ming understands their mentality very well, and he also knows that yesterday's battle has changed the mentality of this group of auxiliaries and made them confident.
In short, being able to sign up for the first Warriors on his own is a good man, so he is not ready to criticize these poor people anymore.
Seeing the jet-black faces and chicken-nest-like hair of the auxiliaries in front of him, He Ming suddenly remembered that 6 years ago, he himself was like this.
It wasn't until he was on the Yalu River, when he was about to starve to death, that he attacked Lakshen, who was still an officer of the Later Jin Dynasty at the time, and was captured in defeat, and later after the enlightenment of the political commissar and joined the Huaxia Army, his life was changed.
If there were no political commissars, the United Kingdom of China, he would have almost starved to death on the way to escape from the Golden Devil.
The group of soldiers in front of him is so similar to him before.
And now, this group of people does not have excellent equipment, does not have strict and long-term training, does not have balanced nutrition to exercise their bodies, and only relies on blood to fight.
Their bodies are so thin, their combat skills are extremely poor, and their tactical coordination is almost non-existent, and once they are on the battlefield, they will be easily killed by the enemy.
In He Ming's heart, he didn't quite agree with the cruel practice of sending them to the battlefield at this time.
In his mind, if Chen Xin was commanding here, he would never use this method of fighting.
However, in the eyes of many people in the army, he is just a troublemaker, and if it weren't for the help of the old battalion commander, he would not have been able to retain his current position as a second lieutenant platoon commander.
At present, he is still carrying the punishment on his back, and there is no way to make suggestions to the level of the general headquarters.
He can only silently carry out orders.
With a strong sense of self-sufficiency in his heart, He Ming began to explain the content of today's battle.
"What you're going to do is simple." He Ming raised his voice as much as he could, and said loudly, "Just set up the ladder and then climb the city wall." ”
"When you ascend the city, the artillery and infantry battalions in the rear will support you under the city."
"Under the city walls, there are two infantry battalions in total, attacking eight infantry companies, plus two companies directly under the battalion headquarters, to support you."
"As long as you occupy a small space on the city wall, the soldiers of the infantry battalion supporting behind you will rush forward."
"Next, you will follow the soldiers of the infantry battalion who rushed up to attack the city tower and open the city gates."
"You must remember one by one, don't run blindly or run around, you must remember that your ultimate goal is to attack the city gate and open a passage for our army to enter the city."
Fifteen minutes later, two infantry battalions, plus a cavalry battalion, each with a cannon squadron, a total of six 40mm infantry guns, roared at the same time.
The 40mm small barrel shell has an excellent attack effect on houses, courtyard walls, breastwork, fences, ordinary buildings and defenses.
However, against the tall city wall that can stand and run horses, this mere 40mm shell is really not lethal.
Not to mention the ammunition used to hit people, even if it is a solid bullet, a shell that is designed to destroy the enemy's defenses, hitting the city wall is just a shallow pit.
However, although it was of little use, the roaring sound of the cannonball projectile deflagration and the powerful visual effect of splashing dust on the opposite city wall stunned the former Dongjiang Town auxiliaries who had never seen artillery shooting.
The momentum of these warriors who first ascended to the Warriors came up all of a sudden.
The artillery commander also knew that his infantry guns were not easy to use, so he used solid bullets for a while, and then immediately changed to shotguns.
After several successive bombardments, there was no longer a single Houjin soldier on the walls of Jinzhou City.
Dozens of shield carts built overnight, in a squeaky noise, along both sides of the pipe, slowly towards the south gate, pushing these big guys are the hundreds of Houjin Coats that were caught yesterday.
There is almost no uniform standard for these shield cars.
When the officers of the Chinese Army gave an order to make shield carts, they told these coaters, "Whoever makes the shield cart will push it himself." ”
Therefore, these coaters, even if they rush to work overnight, work overtime to produce, and are sleepy, they don't dare to have any sloppiness.
Moreover, they also used their own ingenuity to come up with countless reinforcement methods in order to give themselves a little more chance to survive.
There are really a lot of creative coatings, and some people have put a thick layer of mud on top of the shield cart, hoping to use the mud to block the bow and arrow shooting of the Houjin army.
Even, there is a part of the coating, which makes the front shield of the shield car into a box-like, and then, in it, fills in some looted debris and acts as a cover.
