The final line of defense of Spain north of Mexico City was filled with gunsmoke and flames, and the whole war also entered a relatively white-hot stage. The Spaniards www.biquge.info outside of Mexico City, dug a large number of trenches, although the overall rigor and scientific rigor are still inferior to the originators of trench warfare in this plane, but it is enough to cause trouble for any attacker.

After the Tang Army used trench warfare, many Europeans discovered the mystery from it. When the Europeans switched from the primitive flintlock pistol to the rear-loading rifled guns, they found that the increased rate of fire and increased accuracy made the line tactics useless. The Tang people never used line tactics on the battlefield, and the European powers, who were students of military theory, also learned about the tactics of the Tang army in various ways and applied them to their own armies.

When they realized that after the line tactics were eliminated, the infantry needed a better way to output firepower, and there was no doubt that the bunker was the best. However, it was not so easy to obtain bunkers on the plain battlefield, and when they saw the trenches dug by the Tang army, they immediately understood a lot.

The lethality of the artillery of the Tang army against the enemy in the trenches was much reduced, although the damage was still there, but it was somewhat limited.

Immediately after breaking through the defense line in the valley, the Don army tried to go on the offensive of the final line of defense in Mexico City. The artillery was still covered by fire, and the Spanish line was heavily bombarded. This naturally caused a lot of damage to the Spaniards, but then when the Don infantry charged the front line, they found that the Spaniards still had a living force and resisted.

The rifles of the Spanish soldiers were fired. For the charging Don army inflicted some damage. The commanders at the front quickly realized the protection of the Spanish defenders from the trenches. Immediately increased fire cover for the stormtrooping soldiers. Multiple machine guns formed crossfire. Hitting the top of the trench made the Spanish soldiers unable to raise their heads, which made the charge of the Don army a little easier. Immediately, this part of the trench was conquered by the Tang army.

Zhao Wenhu, the commander of the Zhichong Regiment who was in front of the formation, pinched his chin and listened to the staff officer's report, and said: "Did you actually kill more than a dozen people when you laid down a section of defense line?" It seems that the Spaniards have more firepower than we think. ”

What just happened was a battalion-scale battle, and although the loss of a dozen people was not a big one, it was already something worth paying attention to for the Tang Army.

"After all, the Spanish army has been exposed to new weapons for some time, and new rifles are generally used. They even have a small number of metal rifles that can still cause us some damage if the shooting is carried out. However, the damage is not large, and it is within our acceptable range. Now that we know the situation of the Spanish defenders, we will inevitably use more suppressive fire to protect our charging soldiers. ”

Zhao Wenhu put down his hand, shook his head and said: "There are at least a dozen such trench defense lines of the Spaniards in front of us, although there are problems in their layout, we can cut in from the side and completely disintegrate them, but if we continue like this, we will only break through this defense line." It's normal for one or two hundred people to get in. This kind of casualty is abnormal for our Tang Army. Our Tang Army is an army that is brave and not afraid of sacrifice. But our motto is that what can be fought with the brain, not with flesh and blood. ”

Zhao Wenhu is a young and middle-aged officer in his thirties, one of the people who crossed over, when he crossed over, he was just a teenager among the soldiers who were coerced to Taiwan by the Guofu Army, and he slowly grew into an officer with obvious Tang characteristics in Datang. After being promoted, Zhao Wenhu entered the Tang Army Military Academy to study, and in the Army Military Academy, Zhao Wenhu accepted the Tang Army's army building concept in its entirety, including this one, fighting with his brain.

Zhao Wenhu thought about it, and then said to the staff officer: "You go to the headquarters and report to the commander comrade, saying that our department has applied to use Plan 1015. ”

The staff officer was first startled when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Wenhu, but he didn't say anything or act.

Zhao Wenhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you stunned about, isn't it just that our staff headquarters set up these plans just to be usable on the battlefield?" ”

The staff officer said: "However, Plan 1015 ......"

Zhao Wenhu interrupted him and said: "The specific decision is the commander's business, I just make a suggestion, I don't want to fight with the lives of our soldiers when there are alternatives, that's all." ”

The staff officer saluted: "Yes, regiment commander, I know, I'll go to the headquarters to report." ”

In the headquarters, Xu Daorun got the report sent by Zhao Wenhu, which was a very simple piece of paper, on which it was written that Zhao Wenhu's ministry requested the adoption of plan No. 1015. Just these two lines, Xu Daorun read it several times, then put down the application and said with a smile: "Zhao Wenhu, this kid, is also courageous." ”

Major General Ju Guochong also said: "There was a wave of rushes, causing more than a dozen casualties, and Zhao Wenhu's consideration is no problem." ”

Chief of Staff Li Guo forgived: "However, is it a bit arbitrary to adopt 1015 like this, after all, it may cause many unknowable consequences." If it does too much damage to Mexico City, it may also be detrimental to our subsequent reign in Mexico City. ”

Xu Daorun found several headquarters staff officers and said: "Immediately verify and see if there are conditions to carry out Plan 1015." ”

After a short time, several staff officers reported: "From the direction of the wind to the humidity and dryness, it is suitable for the spread of mustard gas, and mustard gas will not affect our army, and the scope of action should not exceed the last line of defense of the Spaniards, and the impact on the residents of Mexico City will be minimal." ”

Xu Daorun didn't think much about it, and said, "Then let's do it, we brought these weapons to come in handy." ”

Li Guoliang said: "However, we may have opened a door to the devil, and Europeans may be more concerned about this kind of weapon from now on, so that it will eventually turn back on us." ”

Xu Daorun said: "They have always been researching weapons to kill, but we have always been before them, and now we are on the battlefield, we only need to think about how to defeat the enemy, at the least cost, and don't care about anything else." There is no reason to consume one's own precious soldier's life in order to say that he is afraid that such a weapon will attract the attention of others. ”

There is a sense of solemnity in all of them, but there is also a sense of relief. From the treasure bag of the Don army, another terrible weapon was released, and the Spaniards did not know what terrible thing they were going to face. (To be continued.) )
