Chapter 64 A regiment
On the 34th day of the Battle of Huaibei, on the battlefield of bullet-confrontation, an officer in a black uniform of Ming army looked at the three separate positions that were interspersed and cut. The arrogant look of the past made the madness in despair in his eyes. Two months ago, the officer was still boasting with his colleagues in a bar in Nandu, how long could the empire annihilated the thieves in northern Anhui? It was said that the soldiers of the Empire could fight ten at one time, and if they were commanding, they could fight twenty at one time.
However, the result is that the Red Republic Army, three times the Imperial Army, surrounded the 1,500 soldiers led by the Ming army, as if they were made of dumplings.
To be honest, Ren Di refused to face whether to annihilate the army at the beginning. Ren Di had combat experience, but he still had no idea about commanding the large corps. At the beginning of the war, Ren Di focused on accumulating strength and specifically targeted the weaknesses of the Ming Empire. What would a large corps war look like? Ren Di only had one sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Ten would surround it, five would attack it, and twice would fight it, and the enemy could divide it. According to Ren Di's plan, he would form a five-fold advantage in the local area and launch an attack.
When he was a commander of the grassroots army in Miana, Ren Di's soldiers were all assigned from the rear and were very proactive in military operations. However, now he started to command the large corps, but he was a bit cute. Ren Di's personality was still a little timid. Ren Di's minimum hope was to maintain the army's existence for a long time and delay the destruction of the mountainous bases as much as possible by this war.
However, when the arrogant Ming army was unable to find Ren Di's main force for a long time, he seemed a little impatient, thinking that the "thief army" had been running away, and had a traversing combat, and his combat effectiveness must be as low as the bandits decades ago. He was too confident in his belief that he could fight ten, so he went deep and chased Ren Di's six thousand main force, catching up with him.
Several general staff and a large number of young officers here in Ren Di were also newborn calfs and not afraid of tigers. Now Ren Di's army has begun to expand. Although soldiers cannot be recruited from the countryside, in the large and small mines of Huoqiu County, the miners who went down the wells and worked by the miners in various coal mines in Huaibei who were whipped by the mine owners with whips have no way out. According to the standards of the 21st century, the Ming mines that Ren Di now sees are all black brick kilns in the category of black brick kilns, and death is common, and all mine owners are mixed up for the production regardless of their lives. The minerals mined by these mines will be sent to the steel plant controlled by Haisong in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Every mine owner has private armed forces to suppress miners, at least one or two hundred, and at most five hundred. They are equipped with imported rifles and even heavy machine guns. This difference is different from the 1920s and 1940s in the plane of Ren Di. This difference is beneficial to Ren Di's current situation. Private armed forces are still private armed forces, Ren Di's army is not a group of bandits. These private armed forces that guard the level of the mines with machine guns do not mean that they can use machine guns as a gate to drive them. Ren Di thinks that is the stupidest thing. The 800 heavy mortar aimed at the corners where heavy machine guns were arranged, and then two or three groups of people rushed over to confirm whether the crossfire was destroyed.
In fact, the next step is basically unnecessary. The twenty-kilogram mortar # shells fell accurately in the position of the heavy machine gun. When the human body and the heavy machine gun were restored to parts in the flames, these private soldiers were confused. Their performance was much better than the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The group of Qing soldiers guarding the fort lost their weapons and fled. It was obvious that there were only two states for soldiers who could face death. The first was a madman who ignored other people's lives, ignored their own lives, pursued money and enjoyment, and entered the battlefield to gamble. The second was a fool who sacrificed his life for his ideals. These private soldiers guarding the mines were okay to suppress unarmed miners with advanced weapons. As for the battle that dared to see the bayonet, they did not dare to face their own death.
There are many proletarian workers who have been oppressed to the extreme. These silent eyes were rescued from the dark mine caves and after they came out of a daze, they fell into the lies compiled by Ren Di in their current plane. Those who have just been awakened after sleeping will subconsciously obey the orders of the people around them. The miners who have just been hopeless and dared not think about anything. Once they are instilled with the task of always being oppressed and needing to save the world, they are very fanatical.
People who just came out of the closed environment were simply saying whatever they said. The political commissar said that the Ming Dynasty was struggling to death, so these people really believed it.
Another group of fools stood under Ren Di's banner. When watching these malnutritional miners who seemed to be infused with spirits were neatly doing simple tactical training in the training ground of the base, Ren Di couldn't help but say: "This group of people is really easy to deceive. They clearly have nothing, but they want to give everything." As he said this, Ren Di felt that the tears on his eyes were a little wet.
However, it was these miners that gave Ren Di the hope of winning the war. In Huoqiu County alone, 50,000 miners were rescued in the mines. It would take about nine weeks of training and these soldiers would enter the system of the northern Anhui Republic region. Among them, 150,000 people would enter the army.
This is just a county in Huoqiu. The most thorough liberation of the county. In other areas of Huaibei, after Ren Di's army liberated the miners, they asked the miners to go home by themselves. As a result, half of the workers felt that there was no way out and resources joined Ren Di's army. These people were about three to four thousand people and joined the Red Republic Army. Of course, it was these people's joining that made Ren Di worry about the decline in the quality of the army, and he was even more reluctant to carry out an annihilation war on part of the Ming army.
As for what General Sun, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was doing? The war was obviously dragged to a low-level state by Ren Di's destruction. When the war entered modernization, the supply needed by the army was terrifying. This was even more so in the Nongo army. The steel cannons and shells in one or two tons of the Third Army were obviously not something that people could carry. In the past, the Third Army would go north to fight, transport troops by railway, and then transport horses from the Hokkaido horse farm to ensure logistics operations.
The modern war was full of money, and a large part of the money was spent on the logistics line. At the beginning, the Ming army, who was preparing to suppress bandits at their doorstep, did not think so much, and drove over on a steamer and a train. As a result, the tragedy came to northern Anhui, the railway was destroyed, and there was not enough pack horses.
The Nandu soldiers who came to suppress the bandits usually looked for chickens in the Qinhuai River red light district in Nandu, usually took a taxi cart. After following Ren Di's gang's mud legs in the hilly area, they began to rest. During these twenty days of battle, Sun Ze, a descendant of Sun Chuanting, decided to use his grandfather's car formation. That is, the entire army moved slowly with cannons as the core, and the city as the defense node to go with Ren Di. As for the core bandit area of the Dabie Mountains, kidding that there were so many bandits who went straight into the mountain area before they finished fighting?
Sun Ze was so conservative, but he was also suffocated. His troops, the Third Army of the Ming Empire and the Guards, broke the opponent in minutes like Mount Tai when they took action. Especially after the new thing like an aircraft joined the battlefield, they learned that the bandits were wandering outside the city to harm good people and entangle the people. Some officers could not bear it anymore.
Just as a small village cannot ambush 100,000 heavy cavalry. 30,000 modern troops are not stationed in one city. These Ming army officers stationed in various cities have decided to do something. At present, the Ming army besieged in the small village is from Fuyang City. In the words of Zhang Youhe, the chief of staff of the Red Republic Army, said: "You have been unhappy for a long time."
The battle broke out at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the 4,000 Red Army forced its troops to move and quickly surrounded the army. The entire staff directly accepted the task of encircling and annihilation of the Ming army within three hours, while Ren Di completed the blocking mission against the enemy in the south.
Zhang Youhe and the thirteen young officers issued military orders to Ren Di. When they found that the surrounded Ming army was not afraid at first, they had the pleasure of finally finding you. After the Ming army plowed the ground with shovel bullets, they began to launch their first charge. The 75mm shovel bombardment bombarded the east side, causing about 100 casualties to the Red Republican Army. Because there were too many new recruits who had not completed basic training in this battle, major problems were exposed under the enemy's artillery fire.
However, the Ming army was obviously at the level of war on Earth. The cannons destroyed the idea of infantry occupation, that is, they first bombarded with cannons, and then let the infantry rush up. This kind of tactic can be said to be a victory in every battle against enemies who are also behind in this world.
However, after realizing this problem, the General Staff decided on the spot to take the initiative to attack the east side when the Ming army was focusing on attacking the east side. Two attacking troops in the north and south side carried mortar light machine guns and carried out active attacks.
The artillery preparation time during World War I was very long. Taking the Battle of Verdun as an example, the artillery preparation time for a thousand cannons was as long as one day. The war fought for firepower and found a time difference. When the heavy artillery troops of this regiment launched artillery shelling in the east, a group of young men from the Red Republican Army made a quick decision to launch an attack on the north and south sides.
The firepower advantage was formed in the local area. Faced with the active attack of the Red Republic Army, the commander of the Imperial Army made the mistake of underestimating the enemy again and decided to organize troops to attack the two groups of attacks. As a result, the rapid fire attack of light machine guns and grenade launchers was severely injured. An hour later, the Red Republic Army successfully divided the army into two parts, one in the village, and the other in the wheat field in the east.
After an hour and a half after fighting, the zero-attack, zero-defense tri-wing aircraft, which was routinely flying in the sky, seemed to have observed signs of a large-scale hot war on the ground, and immediately turned around and flew towards the south. The aircraft has not had any direct threat so far.
There is no defense, and the fuselage is made of wood. The attack power is no attack power. The entire aircraft weighs 400 kilograms in the air, with a full load of 500 kilograms, and a pilot must be brought with it. Therefore, the Royal Air Force of the Ming Dynasty is a girl with a light body and a soft body. It is impossible to install a machine gun. If there is no range, it can rotate within a range of 100 kilometers at most. The speed must be twenty meters per second, and more than seventy kilometers per hour. The minimum speed of a car on a highway in the 21st century is sixty kilometers, and the maximum speed is one hundred and twenty kilometers. Therefore, it is not unfair to say that it has zero attack and zero defense.
But this thing can ignore terrain reconnaissance after all. After the small plane swung around the sky, the General Staff realized that there was not much time left. He stepped up the battle below and attacked the enemy troops divided into several pieces one by one.
The heavy mortar, the firewall swept over like a city wall, blowing away the Ming army in the simple fortifications. The mountain cannons that were inconvenient to move became a burden at this time, because the combat range between the two sides was close to within two hundred meters. After the artillery fire, a group of soldiers wearing blue cloth shuttled through the craters and launched attacks, and occasionally used their hands to clean the front. The shrapnel mixed with soil particles and gunpowders mixed with this bloody battlefield, the grass was pushed apart by the shock wave, revealing the brown soil. Some grass was ignited by the explosion and burned, giving off a choking smell of smoke.
This divided area was attacked by five times the Red Army's troops, and it was absolutely powerful. After solving this area, the Red Army immediately launched an attack on the next area.
The Ming army commander, who was only three areas, watched in panic as his army was swallowed by pieces of erosion. Then the beginning scene came.
Annihilation war, annihilation war in which the system was annihilated. Both sides of the war realized the result of this battle. One of them was unwilling to accept it and could not believe it, and thus panic, while the other was excited. The sword of the Ming army officer fell underground, and a sniper trained by the Red Army pierced the head of the general who raised the sword with a bullet. The chaos arose immediately. The Red Army stepped up its attack and psychological propaganda. Amid the shouts of surrendering and not killing. Within two and a half hours, the 1,524 Ming army was wiped out in a small place in Quanyang Town. Seven hundred and twenty-three people were killed in battle and captured 651 people. Due to inconvenience to capture, most of the disarmed Ming army were released ten hours after the war. Although most of them were released, the artillery and officers did not let go. The Red Republican Army suffered 683 casualties.
The Ming army's regiment was gone.
