The Tang army built a total of three layers of trench defense outside its barracks, and with the military concept and ability of the Spanish defenders, it was not enough to break through these trenches,.? One?? Reading a book? k wants a?look h?u?·? And their numbers were really disproportionate, even if they were divided in four directions, one Spanish soldier would have to deal with at least three or four Don troops.

And this proportion is actually expanding - because the deserters in the Spanish army are becoming more and more numerous.

Trenches were sometimes a weapon for defense, and when the Tang Army was ready to attack, it could be the source of the attack. In the outermost trenches, a large number of Tang troops were inspecting their equipment and making final preparations for the attack.

The young soldier Yang Ziyue was a little nervous, although he had fought several battles with the Third Brigade, he still felt nervous every time. Gao Lingxiao, a veteran next to him, patted Yang Ziyue's back vigorously from behind, and said: "Xiao Yang, you have been in the army for more than a year, and you have been on the battlefield several times, how can you still be so virtuous, don't embarrass us." ”

Yang Ziyue nodded a little deliberately, and said: "Deputy squad leader, you know me, I just have poor psychological quality, when did I, Yang Ziyue, fall off the chain and disgrace our class." To see? Book ka?hu ·

This is really not nonsense, Yang Ziyue is a person from Tai'an, Shandong, and some of his family participated in the rebels of Cathay during the Cathay Rebellion, and after the defeat, he was taken prisoner, and his whole family was taken to the Tang Dynasty as immigrants. At that time, Yang Ziyue was still a child, and at this time he was already nineteen years old, and he was tall. And his family is a martial arts family, with good skills, and he also won a sub-championship in the big competition held by the whole group.

Like Yang Ziyue, many children who immigrated to the Tang Dynasty as children have grown up after several years of growth and have become adults.

Gao Lingxiao looked at Yang Ziyue and said to him: "Although we are fighting a tough battle this time, the Spaniards have set up a total of six fortifications on the road to Mexico City between the valleys, which is relatively strong, but it is impossible for us to use infantry to attack." ”

A soldier next to him also laughed sarcastically: "When will our Tang Army fight and rely on fighting for people's lives?" It's not all about brains and tactics, of course, the most important thing is to fight firepower! ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden roar, a whistling sound, and Yang Ziyue and the others saw a black shadow flying over their heads, and then exploded thirty meters in front of a Spanish fortress a few kilometers away, setting off a cloud of earth and rock. One? Reading ·

Gao Lingxiao smiled with interest: "The school shooting has begun." ”

It is impossible for the artillery to fire a salvo at the beginning, and it is necessary to carry out the necessary calibration to determine the elements and directions of the shot. And the infantrymen, hiding in the trenches, seemed to be very interested in watching the artillery bombard the enemy. Many soldiers with a good mentality lay on the edge of the trenches and showed their heads to see how the Spaniards were being bombed.

The school firing fired about seven sporadic shells, the penultimate one fell on the rear of the fort, and the last one landed three or four meters in front of the fort. This is the formation of a cross-shot.

Several other fortresses are also similar, Datang's artillery mainly uses millimeter howitzers, and they are skilled in business and high in tactics, and they quickly completed the school shooting. When the sound of the cannon subsided, Gao Lingxiao said with some excitement: "Haha, I'm ready to watch the big show." ”

There is no doubt that for the infantry, it is a particularly cool thing to watch the artillery on their side ravage and abuse each other, so most of the Tang infantry in the trenches are ready to watch this scene.

Suddenly, like thunder on the ground, a continuous sound of artillery rang out, and the Tang army arranged two artillery positions, using two artillery battalions to bombard the six fortifications of Ququ on a narrow wide surface. When the artillery fire swept through the Spanish fortress in the valley, the Don soldiers could not see the earth-and-stone fortress in a flash, and replaced it with fire and flying debris. Some Tang Army soldiers even had to swallow their saliva in shock, such as Yang Ziyue.

Prior to this, although he had practiced the coordinated operation of infantry and artillery with the troops many times, and had seen the lethality of the comrades of the artillery battalion of his regiment, the soldiers still had a completely different feeling when they really put it on the battlefield and saw that the enemy really fell under this terrifying artillery fire. No one can imagine what it would be like to be under such fire. Fortunately, although many powers in the world are now building new artillery, only Datang artillery can produce such an amazing and dazzling effect.

In the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense of Datang, there has always been a general consensus that the most elite of all arms in the army is not mechanized infantry, not light infantry, but Datang's artillery. The Datang artillery, which is fed almost with shells one by one, and pays special attention to actual combat drills and fire control exhibitions, can play a huge role on the battlefield.

Strictly speaking, the Tang Army is not an artillery army, it is a balanced exhibition of all arms, but the strength of artillery is also undeniable.

The shelling of the Spanish fortifications was dominated by high-explosive shells and sabotage shells, and it was only a salvo of ammunition base, which basically hit this piece of fortifications to the point that it was almost impossible to see the original shape. There were not even a few soldiers of the Spanish defenders who survived the fortifications.

Gao Lingxiao stood up and shouted, "It's up, comrades! ”

The infantry jumped out of the trenches with great spirits, and what they thought might be a bit intense in a battle became a lack of technical challenges because of the artillery fire. In the bunkers, where several fortifications had completely lost their original purpose, no one would shoot with rifles again.

So what Gao Lingxiao, Yang Ziyue and others needed to do was to run under the ruins, and then find out the Spaniards who were blown up to the ground and still had a breath.

In the offensive in the northeast and southeast, it is similar to this side, the flat ground is suitable for the artillery of the Tang Army, and the Tang Army can use millimeter howitzers, or even millimeter howitzers, to teach the Spanish ghosts how to behave. In the mountains to the southwest, the Tang army encountered a little trouble, but Xu Daorun made the decision not to attack in a hurry, block this passage, and let the other three Tang troops attack Mexico City together. A vigorous offensive and defensive battle of Mexico City also began.
