Zhou Zhengpeng is very cautious, in order to ensure safety, until the last confirmed message, let Zhou Zhengpeng completely let go, at this moment, in addition to the China Building, the whole Baghdad is full of enemies, although in many places, there are the original citizens of Baghdad, but in the whole time of the war, especially the fierce gods, in a short siege time, on the premise of killing more than half of the citizens, who dares to go out indiscriminately, hiding in the home that is still safe, do not dare to go out at all, For fear of being killed by the vicious Allied soldiers.

In fact, when attacking Baghdad, the Entente was angry, not only the previous shelling was like this, but the impact behind was similar, encountering suspicious people, or unhappy mood, that is, a shot up, I don't know how many people died, in this era, there is no so-called Geneva Convention, and there is no war to let civilians go away, once they enter the war zone, it is almost a Shura field, whether they can survive or not, it is not on their own, but on the mentality of the occupier.

At present, Zhou Zhengpeng's command, concentrated 850 special forces soldiers, they are almost all intact, occasionally a little bit of minor injury, have also been dealt with, in the best condition, for 11 floors, construction area of up to 40,000 square meters of huge building, really not a lot, but the building has done a lot of necessary arrangements, in the past few days, and after Zhou Zhengpeng's modification, in short, every floor, every room, looks disorganized arrangement, are hidden murder.

In terms of personnel, the first 300 are the best snipers. They are in a safe place, extremely stealthy sniping. No more exposure, gradually increasing to 400. 500 people, until the people in the back were concentrated, and the time was ripe, so they carried out an indiscriminate attack. The quality of the sharpshooters of the special forces is much stronger than that of ordinary troops, and the number is much larger, but even with the help of sniper rifles produced in the northwest, there are only 500 people who can have an accurate range of one kilometer. The rest, at most, are accurate shots within 500 meters.

Because of the dormancy of other special forces, there are fewer gunshots in other parts of Baghdad, but the gunfire on the side of the China Building is non-stop, and in the midst of the non-stop killing and the lessons of blood and fire, the kilometer around the China Tower is almost a no-man's land, and no one dares to enter. To go in is to die.

Such a special battle situation is the first time Marc has encountered it, even in the cruel Bordeaux, there is no such method of warfare. With just sharpshooters, it is possible to block the attack of a unit, which is still a base of 500,000 people.

A building blocked the way. The commander of any army, a decision is made. That is, an attack with artillery, in front of large-caliber artillery. Even if it is a large fortification, I can use enough shells to level the hill, let alone a building, it is a matter of time before he is bulldozed.

Outside the city, 1,800 artillery pieces gathered together again and aimed at the building, and Mark prepared to use at least five hours of shelling to raze the building, which had swallowed up countless Allied soldiers.

On the top floor of the China Building, in Zhou Zhengpeng's observation room, Zhou Zhengpeng can see everything around this very clearly with the help of a high-powered telescope, and he knows very well what the actions of the Entente are for.

Is it really a dead target? Seeing that the other party had concentrated artillery, Zhou Zhengpeng sneered, and then gave an order.

Mark wanted to use artillery to collapse the Chinese building, using 1,800 artillery pieces, Zhou Zhengpeng didn't care about him at all, let him start shooting, for this fixed target, or a huge building that could not be moved, in terms of the hit rate of the Entente, it was really not low, their first round hit rate reached 85%, of which more than half of the shells were frontal, in the best position, fell on the top of the building.

1,800 shells fell, and the hit rate was very high, but after a smoke of gunpowder, they found that the strength of the China Building was far better than he imagined, and only a few of the more than 800 shells hit the window head-on, and they entered through the window, and the rest did not even destroy the outer wall.

"I don't believe it, you're harder than a stone!" Mark looked at the building, his face showed a hint of viciousness, the appearance of such a building in Baghdad, still called the China Building, must be involved with China, although the policy of Britain and France, if you can not touch the Chinese, you will not touch the Chinese, but you attack first, no matter what, fight first and then say, will not be subject to foreign military orders, not to mention the proud British, really Chinese, what international disputes do not matter, fight and then talk.

The first round was nothing more than a test firing, and Mark was about to give the order to continue to give more force, when suddenly a fire flickered on the top floor of the China Building. "What is this?" The commander in charge of artillery fire, almost in a matter of seconds, judged that this was a shell from a large-caliber artillery.

The flight time of the artillery is only ten seconds, and I did not expect that the opponent actually had artillery, and it was still able to attack 100 mm artillery, and only artillery could deal with artillery, and 100 mm was of course 100 mm.

The commander could not make a concession, he could only resist hard, hoping that the other side would not be too accurate, in fact, they were disappointed, the other side not only hit accurately, but also hit very accurately, a total of 8 shells, all of which hit weak spots, if it were not for the artillery position just unfolded, there were not too many shells left on the gun position, maybe such a sudden, it would have suffered a big loss.

But even so, more than 20 artillery pieces were killed, and such losses made them extremely sympathetic, but then, the other party's firing speed seemed to be very fast, in just 5 minutes, a total of 30 rounds, and nearly 300 artillery pieces were destroyed.

This is not a small number, accounting for almost one-sixth of the total number of artillery pieces of the entire Entente army, and even, because there are more people against the artillery than against the artillery, after the loss of personnel, the remaining artillery that can be operated from is not 1500, but only 1200.

The Allied artillery retreated in a hurry, and under the premise that there was no radio means, the commander Mark only saw that there was no response for a long time, and his artillery, after only one round, did not fight, and ordered the messenger to go to question, but the result of the questioning made him shocked, the artillery was heavily damaged, 300 guns were destroyed, and the gunners of nearly 600 guns were devastated.

One-sixth of the artillery, one-third of the gunners, so to speak, the artillery units have already suffered heavy losses, this is the Entente troops after entering Iraq, they have not encountered, just a handful of enemies?

Artillery on top of the Chinese building. It's nothing else, it's the largest caliber 155 howitzer in the Chinese Army, although the caliber is only 155, not as huge as the Army's largest 230 artillery, but China's 155 artillery is far farther than any 155 artillery in the world, with a range of more than 15 kilometers, almost catching up with the range of a 15-inch gun.

That is to say, the entire surroundings of Baghdad are all within the scope of Chinese artillery, and in the middle, the height of the Chinese building is added, the height of 55 meters is the highest height near Baghdad, even if the range is the same, as long as the artillery enters the range, it is possible to be attacked by this artillery, although these artillery pieces are only 8, but there is no way for the opponent's attack to continue.

The degree of consideration of the building is extremely high, and the first round of attacks has made Mark and others determine that it will take three hours, or five hours of uninterrupted shooting, to destroy the hard reinforced concrete on the perimeter, which is a huge test for the artillery troops, and it is troublesome enough, but it is not unsolvable, it is just a matter of time.

But now, the other side has artillery with a longer firing range, which is an unsolvable problem, the firing range is much longer than theirs, and the rate of fire is more than 3 times that of theirs, how to fight such a battle, in 5 minutes, the artillery of the Entente has lost one-sixth of it, and there is still a third of the personnel, if they continue to let them rush towards the China Building, maybe the China Building has not been taken down, and the artillery will be lost first.

Whether it is Mark, Rondo, or the French commander Il, they know very well that artillery is fundamental, facing a huge building, so that the artillery is consumed here, next, how to fight, God knows if there will be a Turkish army, an Austro-Hungarian army, or even a German army to come, if a group of land forces of the same grade really come, they will have no other way to go except to be captured.

How important is the 3B railway to the Allies, not only the Entente is clear, but the Allies themselves are also clear that attacking the Middle East, 500,000 troops are simply a bit much, and the redundancy is to guard against the counterattack of the Allies, once the artillery is exhausted, then what to resist.

The artillery must be maintained, not all filled under the building, and then, after the commander flexibly used the artillery several times, one by one by the devastating blows on the top of the Chinese building, and lost more than 100 artillery pieces and several groups of personnel, the commander no longer dared to try, the number of artillery has been reduced to more than 1,300, which is almost the lowest level at present.

What to do, without artillery, is it hard to fight? Mark, Rondo and Il have never fought such a battle, this is simply nowhere to start, seeing a small edifice, it is so difficult, in one day, there are heavy losses, and there is no gain. (To be continued.) )
