Chapter 307: Caught
"Didi Di ······" A loud military horn sounded in the sky, and the army soldiers in the first hidden trench, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, rushed to the devastated Shangjing City under the leadership of their respective officers and non-commissioned officers.
On the other side of the city wall, dozens of large openings were cracked under the ruins, and plasma and looming corpses were warmly welcomed to the entry of the Huaxia army.
Under the fierce shelling, at the beginning, the Houjin army could still hold on, after all, in the first ten minutes, the hit rate of the shelling was not too high, and the city walls did not collapse.
However, when the 105 guns spoke, the situation took a turn for the worse, and every 105mm shell could make a huge hole in the city wall.
Under this gap, there is no living mouth at all, and the high-explosive bomb containing cheap mass-produced explosives can shatter anyone within a radius of more than ten meters with every explosion.
Whether he was wearing protective gear or not, and whether he had been skinned by a shell, the shock wave caused by the massive charge of explosives was enough to deform and shatter the internal organs of anyone within 15 meters.
With such a terrifying effect, how could an army of mere slavery hold on.
What's more, the remnants of these Houjin troops on the Korean Peninsula, except for about 10,000 troops who are real Houjin Tartars, most of the other teams are just servant troops recruited from Korea.
They don't have any will to fight, and the Huaxia army, which usually encounters small troops, has to rely on the real Tartars to supervise the battle to meet the battle, and now when the real Tartars can't stay still, the servant army will be like, and you can imagine it with your heels.
When the Chinese Army rushed into the gap with a rifle with a bayonet, it did not encounter any resistance, and everyone was relaxed, as if they were training.
The first batch of the Chinese Army occupied the commanding heights around the gap and established an advance position, and then the commander of the forward unit ordered the herald to wave the flag and beckon the follow-up troops to advance.
In order to seize the passage and defend against possible melee combat, the striker spent most of his weight on protection and melee equipment, and at this time, although it was not used, there was no chagrin in the slightest.
War is always about death, and it is a blessing to be able to achieve tactical goals without casualties.
Although there has been no battle, but after all, the striker's combat goal has been achieved, according to the plan, they can rest, the next battle is the task of the second echelon, and the striker only needs to follow up.
The second echelon walked a little slowly, because they carried the army's only heavy weapon - 40mm infantry guns.
Although this kind of artillery looks a little petite in front of the navy, but which guy can carry the name of "cannon" is something to think about.
Don't look at it as a bad deal against the city wall, but in the city, when facing this dwelling, or the fortifications in the city, this thing is a life talisman.
A 40mm shell can penetrate any courtyard wall in this era, and even, when outside the city, in the face of so many thick bunkers, a 40mm shell can still play a role.
In the city, this kind of artillery is completely a weapon of destruction, capable of crushing any obstacle to the road.
The handover of the striker and the second echelon was quietly completed in silence, and the second echelon automatically entered the city as a company, and slowly began to advance along several main streets.
In ordinary infantry battalions, the main weapon is not pump-action rifles, which are the standard equipment of the elite, and the conscripts can only use rear-loading flintlock smoothbore muskets.
This weapon, which does not have a very good hit rate, in the case of group fire, the lethality is still considerable. Moreover, with the cooperation of bayonets, it is more suitable for ordinary troops fighting in large groups.
After several rounds of collective shooting, the Houjin Army, which was originally dangling not far away, preparing to launch a counter-assault on the Huaxia Army, was suppressed back at once.
Then, the Huaxia army shouted slogans, marched in neat steps, and advanced in the direction of the enemy army step by step, the bright bayonets were very deterrent, and the chaotic divided Houjin army had no idea of close combat.
With a little will to fight, they coerced the surrounding Goryeo servant army and the Huaxia army to shoot at each other, and then, after killing a few Huaxia soldiers in a sneak attack, or occasionally hitting a few hapless officers, they were scattered by the Huaxia army that gathered fire.
The will to fight is relatively strong, and the Huaxia Army will not stupidly shoot at the fortified enemy troops in the streets, but directly beckon the infantry artillery to come forward, and after leveling the enemy's hiding place, it will carry out a fierce fire on the enemy troops who have been shelled.
After several firefights, many of the servants who were not under the control of the Houjin Tartars had no will to fight, and these people quietly took off their ugly uniforms, threw away their weapons, and integrated into the houses in the city.
The Huaxia army also temporarily opened up to these people and did not chase and kill, after all, the Houjin army in the city was at least more than 50,000, and there were about 100,000 aha and baoyi.
The Huaxia Army, which has less than 15,000 people, has no way to detain everyone in every detail.
So, I had to choose to "temporarily open the net" to those who were powerless to resist, and when the final battle situation stabilized, those Houjin troops who were hiding were not meat on the board, and they were left to be slaughtered.
Zhong Fulin stood behind a large fixed telescope on a man-made high ground outside the city, observing the situation in the city, "The progress is very smooth." ”
Lakshin gestured to the reserve and let them rest for a while, and then responded, "Indeed, the enemy's will to fight is not firm, and it is likely that the naval shelling for half an hour has had an effect and deterred the Houjin army." ”
"Large-caliber artillery is really easy to use, let's clean up the bunkers on the periphery of Beijing, it took more than half a month, but look at the other people's navy, dozens of passages were opened for us in half an hour, it can't be compared."
"It's really incomparable, do you know how much a 105-gun shell is worth?"
"How much?"
"Hehe, it's not a profit, it's just a cost, a 105 shell is worth 10,000 yuan, a hundred taels of silver."
"I'm rubbing, it's a war, it's just money."
"So, don't you see, the navy, don't they usually use 105, during training, they don't even shoot training shells, and directly press a 20mm gun barrel on top of the 105 gun barrel to do alternative training."
"I can understand if I don't shoot live ammunition, but why can't I even shoot training bullets? Empty cartridges aren't that valuable, are they? ”
"Of course, the training shell is not valuable, but the barrel is valuable, even if it is a training shell, when it flies out, it will cause wear and tear to the barrel, a 105mm barrel is worth the money of the old nose, and the navy is reluctant to do it."
"This navy is just looking at the scenery, in fact, it is not as good as our army."
"Yes, it's really pitiful, there is nowhere to use it, to deal with these miscellaneous fish, it is already an honor for the Houjin Army to let them use a few rounds of 105 cannons."
While the two were chatting, a squad of soldiers, escorting a few guys with money pigtails, stumbled towards the command headquarters.
Along the way, there were constant exclamations from soldiers, and then the exclamations turned into cheers.
Looking at the soldiers who were excited along the way, Zhong Fulin and Lakshen glanced at each other and climbed down from the high platform curiously.
Zhong Fulin patted the dirt on his body and walked towards the Jurchens who were escorted.
Before he could get closer, his adjutant ran over excitedly and shouted, "Commander-in-chief, catch Sukh Saha, catch Sukh Saha." ”
"What?" Zhong Fulin was stunned, what the hell is this? He had just seen that his own army, the second echelon had only entered the city less than 500 meters, and it was still far from the center of the city, so why did he catch Sukh Saha all of a sudden?
