At the meeting, Chen Xin vaguely expressed his opinions, and secretly agreed to the military's proposal that was out of tune, but could really solve the problem.

Subsequently, the ministers and ministers formally determined the strategy of the kingdom to solve the economic crisis in the coming period, and assigned tasks to be implemented by various departments.

These two strategies do not need Chen Xin to worry too much, there are guerrilla detachments on the side of the Korean Kingdom to deal with the internal response, and things are not far from ten.

On Daming's side, there was something about Huang Taiji's slap in the face before, and he was not afraid that he wouldn't buy it over there.

However, Chen Xin was not idle, the front line had just sent a battle report, and the southern assault cluster had already attacked outside Shangjing.

The navy, which has watched the play for half a month, also sent a letter of request, as long as Chen Xin gave an order, they could instantly tear apart the wall of the capital, cooperate with the army brothers, and destroy the last fortress of Houjin on the Korean Peninsula together.

Naturally, Chen Xin readily agreed to what Chen Xin could say, and then immediately turned his attention to the final preparations for the third phase of the operation.

On the front line, when the Eagle Falcon sent Chen Xin's warrant to the Han River Detachment of the Navy and the Southern Assault Group of the Army, in less than half an hour, the solemn sound of the military horn resounded throughout the entire periphery of Shangjing.

Under the unified command to "open fire", the army's infantry guns and the navy's naval guns roared together.

However, although the army has many artillery, its power and momentum are really a bit crushed in front of the navy.

After all, the army's infantry artillery is only 40mm caliber, while the navy, 40mm is just a weapon for close self-defense, and the artillery they use to attack is 88mm at the earliest, and even the 105mm artillery above the Sea Shark class is no longer a few.

This caliber of artillery, if it was in the later generations before Chen Xin crossed, it was really nothing, and it could only be called a light artillery, but in this era, even if the body is less than 15 times the diameter, it can be called an artifact.

The army's 40mm direct-fire artillery, when the shells smashed on the opposite wall of the capital, only splashed a few pieces of masonry, at most, it penetrated the outer layer of protection, hit the rammed earth wall, and stirred up a burst of dust.

If you want to use artillery of this caliber to break this solid wall, which has been reinforced for three or four years, I am afraid that it will take a long time to bombard it without stopping.

However, when the navy's artillery was launched, the situation was completely beyond the expectations of the defenders of the Houjin side.

88mm caliber shells, just one shot, opened a long crack in the city walls.

That is, the distance is a little farther, and the processing accuracy is not too high, and the accuracy of shooting is also affected, and it is impossible to hit the front and rear shells in the same area in a short time, so that the city wall does not fall immediately.

The Houjin troops on the city wall trembled and watched the large-caliber cannonballs scattering around, and from time to time, there were shells flying over their heads, exploding in the city, making big craters one by one, and they kept praying to God that the cannonballs would not hit them.

It may be that their prayers have played a little role, or it may be that the Huaxia Navy has held back for too long and is a little tired, and dozens of 88 guns have continuously bombarded seven or eight rounds, and none of the walls have been directly shattered.

This good luck made the officers of the Huaxia Army who were observing around feel incredible.

One of the officers' faces turned horribly black and muttered, "It must be that the gunners didn't wash their hands after going to the toilet today." ”

Another retorted, "I think it might be the pot of the artillery observation post, their hands are too dark." ”

However, the commander-in-chief of the Han River Detachment made a final decision: "Hehe, there are too few math study problems, and when I go back, everyone will add a workbook." ”

Hearing the commander-in-chief's order, the faces of the surrounding officers turned even darker, and one by one, their hearts were already scolding the soldiers under their hands.

At this time, the first mate reminded his captain and said, "The infantry on the army side is ready to charge." ”

The commander-in-chief of the fleet moved the telescope and looked at the army, and sure enough, it was ready.

Although there was no figure to be seen at all in the half-man-high trench closest to the capital city, at the edge of the trench, long bayonets were densely erected, and the cold light flickered with murderous aura.

The captain took a deep breath, not allowing the army to see the joke, turned his head and ordered, "Let the 105mm gun speak." ”

"Yes."

The order of "105 speech" was quickly passed out, and the 105mm gun on the Sea Shark-class battleship was also ready to be fired for a long time, and the shooting was adjusted.

Several heavy shells of huge caliber flew out, drew a parabola, and accurately hit the opposite wall.

The 105 is worthy of the 105, although it is only 17mm larger than the 88 gun, but the weight of the shell is doubled.

The cannonball, wrapped in powerful kinetic energy, smashed on the city wall, and in an instant, several large openings more than ten meters wide were opened.

The naval guns did not stop, and according to the plan made before the war, the navy would fire continuously for half an hour, completely opening several safe passages for the army to enter the city.

So, the shelling continued, however, with this record, the rate of fire on the part of the Navy began to slow down.

After all, the life of the navy's artillery barrel is not comparable to that of those guns in later generations, and a qualitative breakthrough has not been made in terms of materials, and these barrels only have a life span of a few hundred rounds.

Although the rate of artillery bombardment has decreased, it may have been inspired by the round of 105 guns just now, and the hit rate of 88 guns has also been greatly improved, and the collapse rate of the Shangjing city wall has been faster.

The army brothers looked at the thick wall of Shangjing City, under the bombardment of the navy's "heavy artillery", as if it were paper paste, and their eyes were full of envy.

"If we have such a large-caliber artillery, do we need to waste half a month of time for those bunkers on the periphery!"

"That's right, the superiors are too eccentric, why should we use a thin pipe of 40, and the navy can use a thick pipe of 88, or even 105!

Let's see, what is the effect of 40 thin necks hitting the opposite wall, and what is the effect of hitting 105, it is simply a world of difference. ”

The people who say these things are all conscripts, that is, the kind of little guys who have not been in the army for a long time, they have not experienced the era when the army was first established, the era of intimacy between the land and the sea, and the covetous navy has been a long time, so it is normal to say some strange things.

However, there are at least two or more non-commissioned officers in each squad, and they are all veterans, so they will not let this kind of thinking that affects unity ferment, and one by one they immediately jump out.

"Don't complain, such a heavy guy, after giving it to us, how can it be transported to the war zone?

You know, not every battle can be on the edge of the river. If we get to Liaodong, just waiting for this stupid guy will be enough for us to travel hundreds of kilometers. ”

"Yes, when the transportation conditions are not good, it is indeed a waste to equip such a big guy."

"Don't be sour, Navy and Army, aren't they all Huaxia Army, why do you have to divide each other, we just have a different division of labor. Except for a very small number of battles along the coast and along the rivers, most of the time, the navy can do what we can, we can't, and what we can do, the navy can't, and our two sides complement each other. ”

At this moment, an officer bent over and ran over, interrupting everyone's small talk: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to me."

After a while, when the naval artillery bombardment is over, the superiors will blow the charge horn, the sergeant major of each company will take the lead, and the company commander will press the formation in the middle.

After entering, follow the essentials in the training, and if you are dizzy, follow the squad leader closely, and you are not allowed to run around.

The platoon commanders have memorized their offensive tasks clearly, and the map must be well figured out so that they don't get lost.

Once you are separated from the large army, don't panic, follow the high-ranking people, follow the orders, and wait until the battle is over, and then return to the building. Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood."

"Okay, check the weapons, equipment, armor, ammunition one last time to make sure nothing is missing. If anyone enters the battlefield and finds that they don't bring anything, they will wait for Lao Tzu to kick you in the ass and push you to the front to be the vanguard. I've got it all in my mind. ”

"Yes."
