Chapter 315: Digging a Ditch!

Xiao Shanzi's platoon fought quite well in the Battle of Vicksburg, although he did not go to meet the emperor's father, but Xiao Shanzi could feel the approving gaze of his father on some occasions, such as when his father spoke to boost morale.

This made Xiao Shanzi very useful, and Xiao Shanzi's platoon commander was even more energetic, and on this day, their platoon was responsible for keeping watch during the break.

"Zhoutou! Look! The old king shouted, and he took a telescope and showed off his might there.

You know, telescopes are very rare, and ordinary people can't play with them.

"Huh?" Looking in the direction pointed by Lao Wang, Xiaoshanzi found that the piece was dusty!

"That's ......"

"Not good!"

How?

It's very simple, Xiao Shanzi can see that those American GIs are digging, that is, digging trenches, but the direction of this trench is digging at the defense line of our imperial army!

"What?" This situation was soon reported to Li Mengyang, the emperor, and he also came to the front line to see, this look......

Isn't this 'earthwork'?!

Li Mengyang has nothing else, he just remembered a TV series, which is "Bright Sword"......

At the beginning, the Yamazaki Brigade got the wrong map, but they hit it by mistake and got the wrong map, and it happened to be the location of the Eighth Route Army's hospital, arsenal and some important departments at that time, which can be said to be a stab in the ass, so the Yamazaki Brigade was ready to play in the middle of the flower, but they fell in love with Li Yunlong's independent regiment, Li Yunlong was really amazing. He used a dirt excavation method to shorten the charging distance. That's a good move. The distance was enough, first the grenade was thrown vigorously, then the charge, and finally the cooking squad went up with the horse spoon, this battle was really enjoyable......

Well, the plot is like this, don't underestimate this TV series, then Li Mengyang knows that the plot of this TV series has a prototype. The name is called Bloody Battle Guan Jiayuan!

At that time, it was a few soldiers who were guarding the front line of the sky who deserted and made Mr. Peng angry, and the terrain was personally selected by him, but it leaked. The original favorable terrain turned into a disadvantage, and in the end, it was a hard battle, and when it came to the most critical time, Liu Shuai thought of a strange trick, that is, to use the local characteristics, the Loess Plateau, to come to a soil work......

So it seems. Now the United States is on the side of Li Yunlong, and our empire is Yamazaki......

Lao Tzu is definitely not a Yamazaki brigade! Definitely not!

Li Mengyang is also sure. The United States is definitely not Li Yunlong, because they dig a ditch and then shorten the distance, but this distance ......

Li Mengyang felt that the opponent might not be trying to shorten the distance of the charge, they were probably trying to shorten the distance of the shot!

The reason is very simple, that is, the United States is not very good at grenade attacks.

If you want to talk about the grenade, the United States does not have it, and there are it, really, but their grenades are relatively pitfallen, not long-handled, just like a big piece of iron, and this thing is not very safe, after all, they don't have an emperor like Li Mengyang who has seen real guys.

Therefore, the armies of the United States are mostly insensitive to grenades.

In addition, there is another thing, that is, the charge of the United States, in fact, they are not very good at charging, because these generals, they still have the original way of playing in a gun formation in their minds, but the current situation is really forcing them to have no choice, so they don't play that thing, the charge is a job, for the United States, not much has changed, it can only be said that the original is walking in unison, and now it has become a trot.

What kind of guns bend over, march quickly, crawl forward, these things can be seen by non-military fans like Li Mengyang, they have never practiced at all.

So it seems that the United States army is engaged in earthwork in this way, I am afraid that it is to shorten the distance in shooting, and they want to compare marksmanship with us!

Compared with marksmanship, what are we afraid of?

Li Mengyang thought about these things almost completely, but he ...... in his heart Why does the more I think about it, the more I feel that the current United States Army is Li Yunlong? And on my side, is the Yamazaki brigade?

That's right, that's the way it is in terms of status, I'm besieged, I want to blossom in the middle, and the opponent can't do anything......

Well, anyway, this is a somewhat depressing fact, so when Li Mengyang took off his binoculars, his face really changed color.

"Your Majesty! Don't worry! Ministers and other subordinates will definitely fight to the death! "Okassi was on the side, and when he saw the emperor's face, he had to express his determination quickly.

This reaction is also normal, now that the enemy army has come up with a new trick, then I don't know what the future will be, no matter how I say it, I have to reassure the supreme ruler first, right?

But in fact, Li Mengyang is not worried about this at all, this guy has watched too much of "Bright Sword", okay, don't worry about Li Yunlong now.

"No, that...... Oh, well, seriously, I guess the enemy is going to shoot us at close range. ”

As soon as Li Mengyang's words came out, Okashi immediately picked up, "Great Your Majesty! You can see it all! ”

Well, Ocassi is also really patting on the back of the ass, because he can also see it, but this kind of sycophant is also normal...... Well, normal!

You can't just make a fool of yourself, Ocassi has real materials......

Boom! Boom!

The soldiers on the side of the United States Army stopped fighting, they all took picks and shovels, and one by one they became workers, and they were going to dig trenches, that is, trenches, and dig the trenches forward...... This idea was come up with by Sherman, didn't Mead say digging tunnels before, let's not learn from that Burnside, let's dig a trench in the ground!

This trick is really good, there are a lot of people here in the United States, this is their major advantage, and they are using it right now, if they keep digging......

Bi Buckle! Bi Buckle!

A gunshot rang off in the head of the American GIs, and some of them fell!

"Oh God!"

"Oh no, those bastards can hit us!"

I don't have any weapons. They just ran away......

The Imperial Army is on the high ground. So they can inflict damage on these 'diggers' American GIs.

But though. This tactic will not be given up so easily.

Boom! Boom!

It didn't take long for the digging to start again, but this time the American GIs dug deeper, and it was not easy for the Imperial Army to fight.

“SHIT! Those bastards must have hypnotized their soldiers! "Okashi is staring at this, because in the current offensive and defensive battles of Vicksburg, the fighting temperament of the soldiers of the United States is very rare, they are particularly brave and complete, and they are all digging this trench now, they are particularly resolute.

At this point, it can already be called a trenching war. One side just doesn't let the opponent dig a good ditch, and the other side is digging desperately, really digging desperately, this job is life-threatening!

These ditches, more than one, several, there are too many people on the side of the United States, they have finally approached these 'big ditches' to the defense line of the Imperial Army, and at this time.

Sou! Sou!

Bang! Bang!

Hand grenade!

Shooting is not going to work. Even if there is high ground, there is the accuracy of a bolt-action rifle. But it still can't hit the enemy, but it's closer, and you can use grenades.

In this case, grenades are better than mortars!

Naturally, the United States paid another great price of casualties, but they did not retreat, they continued to dig trenches!

In order not to be hit by grenades, when they were digging, they would cover their heads with boards, and the ones with high middle and low sides would roll the grenades to the sides, so that the damage would be much smaller.

Don't say it, if this person is forced to be in a hurry, he can think of any trick......

"Fack! Are these bastards determined to kill us with their heads? "Ocassi didn't feel the gravity of the situation until this time.

The United States had been digging for almost a week, and they had advanced their line to less than fifty meters from the Imperial line, yes, they could have attacked with grenades before.

It seems that the kind of worry that His Majesty the Emperor had before was really not more than ...... Your Majesty's great foresight.

ALL-HAIL-LEE!

Well, Ocasi may not know until he dies, in fact, Li Mengyang is thinking about the plot in "Bright Sword".

So what now?

Li Mengyang doesn't want to do any bullshit Yamazaki brigade!

"Comrades! I know what you're thinking at this point, that those soldiers of the United States are like a bunch of marmots! They're burrowing and it's ridiculous! But I want to tell the comrades! We can't be careless! We can't let our guard down! They must be brewing a big move! We have to be ready! Attack for the enemies you will face next! And our own sacrifices, get ready! ”

Li Mengyang, the emperor, is naturally going to go deep into the front line, he is giving speeches, inspiring morale, and even he has a rifle now, and he can go to the battlefield at any time, don't forget, he is a famous sharpshooter in the world!

And this bolt-action rifle is actually named the 'Mengyang type'...... Li Mengyang actually didn't like this name very much, because this name reminded him of 'Zhong Zheng'...... Hey, I don't know why, he's always felt like a villain lately.

Well, don't care about those details......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

Naturally, the soldiers of the empire didn't have anything to say, just fighting, but they really looked down on their opponents......

Bang! Bang!

"Forward!"

"Woo-la!"

Finally, when the trenches dug by the United States could no longer get any closer, they attacked, and the huge shells of the mortars smashed into the Imperial lines, and the United States artillerymen fought at the risk of being shelled by their opponents, and after the heavy shelling, the soldiers of the United States rushed out of their trenches!

The distance is too short, such a charging distance makes it difficult for the Imperial Army to give full play to its advantages, and on the part of the United States Army, they really burst out with unimaginable energy this time, in fact, this way of playing is a combination of infantry and artillery, and their artillery is not accurate, and it will kill their own people if they don't get it right, but the United States Army still rushed, and it was very brave!

"Ahh

"Kill!"

"Why are these bastards so powerful all of a sudden?"

Sudden ...... Sudden ......

Although the distance is short, the price is not small, but the two sides are finally twisted together, and the trenches of the imperial army are full of soldiers from both sides!

"This ......" Li Mengyang naturally saw this situation on the high ground behind, and the soldiers of the United States seemed to be crazy, they didn't even use guns, but used fists and teeth to bite.

If this continues, there is a tendency for his troops to rout, is Vicksburg going to be unable to hold it? (To be continued......)
