The vast position in front was filled with gunsmoke, and the shells were ruthlessly poured over, not to mention the Hunan army that surrendered, even most of the soldiers in the Democratic Alliance Army had never seen such dense firepower coverage, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

In the position on the west side, the small mountain artillery was lined up along the Xijiang River to bombard, although the small mountain artillery had a short range and was a little less powerful, but it also hit the other side of the river everywhere, covering the feint troops to cross the river, just the wind direction was northerly, and the billowing smoke swept southward, and the entire city of Guangzhou was shrouded in black smoke.

Of course, the feint attack force does not mean that they will not participate in the siege, but the number of troops is small, and if the Xiaoshan artillery crosses the Xijiang River safely, it is still possible to break through the walls of Guangzhou.

"Let's go!" Wang Feng looked around, and suddenly waved his hand.

A soldier puts a specially made mortar shell into the barrel and says, "Boom! With a bang, a black dot bounced up to a height of about 500 meters, and then exploded with a bang, revealing a cloud of colored smoke in the sky.

This is a specially developed signal flare, its principle is very simple, the trigger fuse can be replaced with a delayed fuse, and the delayed fuze is the basic technology of antiaircraft guns, if the shell can not explode at the specified height, falling back to the ground will bring terrible consequences, this technology was developed by the Ordnance Bureau last year.

This signal flare is specially prepared for Lu Dayou, Su Sanniang and Chen Yucheng are responsible for the main attack on the frontal battlefield, and Li Xiucheng is responsible for the western side of the attack, the first two troops are in sight, and Lu Dayou is blocked by Baiyun Mountain, and he needs to launch signal flares to inform him.

Baiyun Mountain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest. The end of the southern end of the mountain range is slightly higher than Yuexiu Mountain, and Wang Feng once had the idea of setting up artillery on Baiyun Mountain, after exploring the terrain. The result was that he was very disappointed, Baiyun Mountain was steep, and the artillery could not be transported, even if a single soldier carried a mortar up the mountain, but the range was not enough, and it was in vain, Wang Feng had to give up this idea. Organize troops to attack Yuexiu Mountain from the foot of the mountain.

After the initial swift strike, the artillery needed to cool down in turns. The artillery fire was somewhat sparse, but it did not stop, and under the cover of artillery fire, the fighters were in platoons. Form a loose formation. The platoons protected each other, advancing steadily, without any negligence due to the fact that the front was over-ploughed by artillery.

"Bang Bang~~" Dozens of people suddenly stood up not far away, raised their guns and fired, several soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, obviously the artillery fire did not destroy all the fortifications, and the surrounding soldiers immediately opened fire, after knocking down a few people. Both sides tried to conceal their bodies as much as possible and seize the time to load the bullets.

Some of the NLD fighters deployed mortars. When the medical team that followed carried the casualties away, two mortars opened fire at the same time, and the shells were fired one after another.

A series of fires erupted in the trenches, and as the warriors cautiously approached, only corpses were left on the ground.

Such battles occur all the time, and although they are fierce, the whole army is firmly advancing with the artillery fire.

Zhao Liewen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Today we are an eye-opener, there is no ladder, no rushing car, no rushing up, no rushing up, completely relying on artillery to open the way, I can't imagine that the siege can still be like this, I'm afraid that the city wall will be blown up in the end?" ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "The times are changing, and the way of fighting must also change, Zhao Liewen, you are a talented person, and you are not very old, I hope you can have more contact with the world, and deeply realize that this is an era of great turmoil, reshuffle, and change, the glory of democracy and nationalism will be sprinkled all over the world, and the great powers will not hesitate to start a world war in order to compete for resources, and China must open its doors to the world, embrace all rivers, and take its essence, so as to be self-reliant and self-reliant!"

And science is a self-enclosed doctrine, he pays attention to internal circulation, and does not interact with the outside, do you think that in this era of rising powers and turmoil, science can still adapt to modern China? If China wants to develop, the first thing is to untie the shackles of the people's thoughts, that is, to pull science off the altar!

Of course, I am anti-science but not anti-Confucianism, on the contrary, I am very advocating ram Confucianism, I asked you to write the article you don't rush to write, I hope you can think about it, and when you figure it out and see it clearly, then write a stunning essay. ”

"Yes! I will experience the world with my heart! Zhao Liewen's heart shook, he could feel the sincerity of Wang Feng's words, arched his hand, and looked forward.

After a few more minutes, the artillery fire finally stopped, it turned out that the maximum range was reached, the attacking soldiers stopped, and the fighters of the artillery unit swarmed up, dozens of people with a cannon, some people dragged in front, someone pushed in the back, and the entire artillery position moved forward a kilometer before it began to spit out tongues of fire again.

Although the resistance of the defenders was quite stubborn, the artillery fire of the Democratic Alliance Army was too fierce, and the fortifications were destroyed everywhere, and the remaining soldiers could not organize effective resistance at all.

Ye Mingchen said worriedly: "The artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army is too powerful, and the old man is worried that Yuexiu Mountain will not be able to hold it." ”

Bao Ling's heart is also a little drumming, such a high-intensity artillery combat as today is rare in the European battlefield, and the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army is actually divided into levels, there are large-caliber and medium-caliber cannons, small-caliber howitzers, and mortars carried by infantry, the four types of artillery do their duty, cooperate with each other, and the whole army advances step by step, not in a hurry or in a hurry, which really opened his eyes and made him understand that the East India Company lost unjustly!

But at this time, you must not say anything discouraged, Bao Ling can only smile confidently: "Your Excellency President, there are excellent soldiers of our British and French on the mountain, there are nearly 100 advanced artillery, and at the foot of the mountain and the slopes of the mountain, there are nearly 10,000 brave soldiers of your country, as well as more than 200 artillery pieces of various types, forming a crossfire network, not to mention the Democratic Alliance, even if our British army attacks it is extremely difficult, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Mr. Bowling! Something is wrong! As soon as Bao Ling's words fell, he saw a secretary from the Governor's Mansion running up out of breath.

"What's going on?" Bao Ling hurriedly asked.

The secretary breathlessly said: "Last night, the navy of the Democratic League suddenly landed from Tsim Sha Tsui and directly captured the Governor's Mansion and various British institutions. ”

Wu Chongyao followed behind to translate, everyone gasped, you know, although the Democratic League forces forcibly occupied Macao, but the Portuguese government did not conclude any treaty agreement with the Qing government, Macao does not have a legal basis as Portuguese territory, but has only been vaguely recognized at the level of local government, really to compare the truth, in fact, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, depending on which side has the greater power.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, has the "Treaty of Nanjing" formally signed with the Qing government as a basis, and in terms of legal terms, Hong Kong's status is not comparable to that of Macao, and it is very clear that it is the territory ceded to Britain by the Qing government.
