Chapter 1313: The attack was blocked
Nanyang.?? Huo Ranwen ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?'org Manila North Gate. Now the north gate has been covered by powerful artillery fire, two artillery regiments of more than 50 guns, 16 airships, plus naval guns, gradually more than 300 artillery aimed at the north gate and began to bombard.
"Put." Artillery positions, the commander of the gun, who had loaded the shells, gave the order again.
Rumble....... , followed by a crisp crash as the cartridge case unloaded.
The ground is shaking, the airships are bombing, the ground artillery is emitting fury, and behind the artillery positions, the army soldiers waiting for the attack are holding their weapons tightly and waiting for the order to attack.
It has been shelling for almost an hour, and in an hour, the north gate has long been blown down. Not a single intact brick can be found in it.
"Ten minutes later, the artillery fire extended." Duan Qirui, who looked at the time, gave an order.
Boom Boom Boom ..... The artillery fire was still in full swing, and judging by the sound, the artillery was now beginning to shoot into the city.
"Attack." At the sound of an order, tens of thousands of soldiers behind him began to roar angrily and swarmed towards the north gate.
Da Da Da ..... A crisp sound of machine guns rang out, and the attacking soldiers suddenly fell like wheat.
Damn, hidden fire points. Zhang Yunfei, the commander of the Third Regiment of the 131st Division of the Army, watched his soldiers fall like wheat, and immediately cursed and motioned for everyone to climb down quickly.
After everyone climbed down, Zhang Yunfei carefully observed the situation.
It has to be said that the enemy is insidious, they actually placed the firing point inside the grave. No one thought that the enemy would move machine guns into the graves.
Judging by the bullets fired, in the cemetery opposite, there were at least a dozen machine guns.
"Mortar." Zhang Yunfei shouted loudly that he was going to blow up this place with mortars.
There was a loud noise, and the mortar battalion that followed behind ran over with mortars on their shoulders and began to stance.
Bang bang bang...... There were a few slight noises, and there was an explosion at the grave.
"Commander, you can't blow it up." After the artillery fired a few shots, the battalion commander said to Zhang Yunfei in front of him.
It can't be blown up, indeed, Zhang Yunfei looked up, the opponent's firepower point was watered with cement, and the mortar power was too small to attack at all, and to blow up these, the only way to ask for artillery support was to ask for artillery support.
"Go, tell the division commander that the attack is being stopped, ask for artillery support.
At the headquarters of the 131st Division, division commander Zhou Kai had already seen the situation on the opposite side.
His three regiments were a hundred meters away from the city wall, and suddenly stopped, and he saw that the three regiments used mortars, but the effect of mortars did not seem to be very great at all.
"Give the artillery regiment an order to mobilize two field artillery support." Zhou Kai frowned and thought for a while, then gave an order to the staff officers beside him.
The order was given quickly, and a few minutes later, the two artillery guns, which were firing extended, stopped shelling and began to move towards the front line.
Ten minutes later, the field artillery was moved to a place less than two hundred meters away from the grave, from which it was possible to fire directly without adjustment.
Bang dang. At the same time as the artillery security was completed. The artillery loader quickly opened the wooden box, then took out the shells and began to reload.
"Put."
The red flag waved, and the two field guns roared.
Boom...... The power of the field artillery is not ordinary, and two shells knocked out two of the enemy's firepower points.
This time the artillery was loaded with armored shells, which were able to drill into the map and then explode, and at such a close distance, they directly entered the grave, and then exploded.
Okay, just like that, watching the two firepower points being destroyed, Zhang Yunfei shouted in his heart.
Boom...... Artillery fire was still being fired, and graves were wiped out.
The road to the city gates was opened again.
"Follow me." Seeing that the point of fire has been destroyed. Zhang Yunfei waved his pistol again and pounced forward.
At the Governor's Palace, Bobby, the commander of Manila, was now sitting anxiously in his chair.
Bad news gathers around me like water.
The north gate was destroyed, and the south telegraph was blocked. A group to the east lost contact with itself.
In less than three hours, and in three hours, his defensive position was on the verge of collapse, something he had never thought of before, but now, all this. It seems to have come so suddenly.
"Report, the North Gate has been captured." A staff officer ran over and reported to Bobby, who was sitting in a chair.
What the? Bobby, who frowned, came to the map.
The North Gate was captured in just three hours. This speed is also too fast, thinking of this, Bobby turned to look at the adjutant in front of him, and he wanted to know something, why it was so fast.
"The enemy used airships, naval guns and even artillery." The staff officer saw that Bobby's eyes were not very friendly, and immediately opened his mouth and began to report.
If this is the case, then everything is understandable.
His own soldiers are human beings, and they can't withstand the powerful artillery attacks of the other side, and they can support the three male lions, which is already a good result.
The good thing is that he adjusted his deployment this morning and gathered his troops in the City of Compassion to avoid their first wave of blows, otherwise, his own men and horses would have been eaten by the soldiers of the Holy Chinese Empire a long time ago.
"Order, immediately transfer a regiment from the west gate, and a regiment from the reserves, and immediately support the north gate." Bobby thought for a moment and gave orders to the staff officers beside him.
To be able to use the reserve forces so quickly, Bobby was the first. He didn't want to use these forces so quickly, but now, if he didn't use these forces, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to defend them for three days.
Once the north gate is breached, a large number of soldiers will pour into the city, so that their own army will be completely divided, and at that time, they will not be able to gather them at all.
Da Da Da ...... At the north gate, a fierce battle began.
Zhang Yunfei's eyes were almost blood-red, an hour ago, the three regiments he led finally entered the north gate, but he didn't expect to meet the main force of the other party, and he was beaten back in embarrassment.
That's not all, his own three regiments reimbursed nearly three hundred people at once, and his own arm was also hit by a bullet. Almost scrapped.
"Commander, go down and be treated." Seeing that Zhang Yunfei's arm was still bleeding. The chief of staff stepped forward and said.
Treat a bullshit, so many of his brothers died here, how could he leave, if he didn't hit the north gate today, he would definitely not go down, big deal, he will explain here today.
Zhang Yunfei also fought hard, and he didn't lose so much. (To be continued.) )
