Chapter 1111 Jishan Town Meat Grinder (1)(1/2)

April 15, 4363 (1666 AD).

The weather had just cleared up, and Commander Xu Fei summoned all the generals.

He said solemnly: "The rise and fall of a kingdom depends on this battle.

My lords, the time has come to serve your country.

Those who succeed will be promoted to official positions, riches and honors, and have everything they want.

The victims will be enshrined in the Pavilion of Heroes forever, and their parents, wives and children will be supported by the country.

If you cannot do the former, military law will never be merciful.

I announce that the combat plan codenamed Moving Mountains will begin now."

Commander Xu Fei waved his hand and shouted: "Beat the drum, attack."

Xu Fei's main force, with drums beating loudly and soldiers shouting slogans, continued to dig trenches to approach the Shu army's position.

Engineers worked hard to lay rails at the rear.

Switzerland's temporary railway has been built to its position.

Five train guns urgently transferred from the rear of the Swedish army began to stand by on the railway.

The ferocious muzzle of the train cannon has been pointed at the fortress cannon turret.

As long as the opportunity is right, he will immediately rush out and shoot with the Shu army's fortress artillery.

The main force of the Swedish army moved frequently to cover an army unit headed by light infantry and quietly left the camp.

The Swedish army urgently modified the airship yesterday, and they are also observing the wind direction above to find a suitable take-off and landing location.

The Rui army's big move immediately attracted the Shu army's attention.

Yan Baizhi, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, did not change his expression at all, and just said lightly: "The enemy's performance yesterday was indeed a sign of weakness.

Switzerland must have many spies in our country.

The news that the supplies transported by the Logistics Department will arrive in Jishan Town tomorrow must have been learned by the Swedish army.

The Swedish army really couldn't bear it anymore and chose to launch a full-scale attack at this time.

Inform the entire army that as long as we can withstand the Swedish offensive today, the next battle will be much easier to fight.

If there is a problem in the place where the person is responsible for defending, I will not be merciful and will handle it immediately with military law."

After Yan Baizhi said this, he immediately ordered: "Send the military police to the front line. The Swedish army's attack this time will be very fierce. There must be no problems."

The Shu army received orders from top to bottom, and they began to become nervous.

The military observation team observing the movements of the two armies quickly noticed the changes in the Swiss and Shu armies.

Wu State General Qi Long shook his head and said: "The Rui army should take advantage of the Shu army's lack of ammunition to attack fiercely.

Don't be afraid of the casualties caused by the war. The number of casualties now is definitely higher than the number of casualties after the Shu army received supplies.

The commander-in-chief of the Swedish army is somewhat kind to a woman.

A fierce attack was launched yesterday, and a fierce attack was launched today.

This may also consume the Shu army's ammunition.

This kind of forward-thinking attack now will result in high casualties and very limited results."

General Su Zihai of Gui State said disdainfully: "General Qi's vision is limited, and he obviously did not see the train artillery behind the Swiss army.

Yesterday's attack by the Swedish army was very weak, as I expected. They moved part of the army out of the front line to help the engineers build the railway.

Now that the railway has been built, the Swiss army can use train artillery to suppress the Shu army's fortress artillery.

The Swedish army's trench digging and large-caliber mortars were able to deal with this dense fortress group and achieved good results.

The main reason why they were unable to expand their results was that the fortress artillery was too powerful.

Only when the train artillery attracts the firepower of the fortress artillery can the Swedish army replicate the tactics and achieve better results."

Imperial General Niu Feng saw that the two were quarreling, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "We only observe the tactics of the two armies, and do not evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic.

I don’t think Switzerland will only have the train gun as its trump card.

No one had thought of the trump card of large-caliber mortars before.

Since Switzerland can give us a surprise, it must have a second surprise.

We just have to keep watching."

While General Niu Feng spoke, changes had already occurred on the battlefield.

Imperial General Wang Shangfu said in surprise: "The Swedish army actually took out airships. These airships don't look like pocket-sized airships used for reconnaissance.

Could it be that the Swedish army wanted to use airships to bomb the enemy?

Before the emergence of anti-aircraft weapons, this could achieve certain results.

Today's anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons can easily tear apart unarmored airships.

Airships are used for reconnaissance and have certain effects, but it is basically impossible to expect them to achieve results."

General Hou of Cao State confidently said: "You see, the airships of the Swedish Army are different from ordinary airships.

The Swedish army is also very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of airships.

If the Swedish army can produce an airship, they must have figured out how to use it.

We'll wait and see, maybe we can learn new ways to use airships."

Before that, the airship camp was at the rear of the Swiss army.

General Zhao Datian looked at the airship soldiers whose average age was only twenty years old.

They are smaller and smaller than ordinary soldiers.

The airship has a limited load capacity. If you want to carry more people and objects, your height and weight must be limited.

General Zhao Datian said loudly: "Our mission today is to bomb the enemy's fortress artillery.

This mission has a narrow escape, and most people will never come back.

People who are opting out are now stepping forward.

I guarantee on my honor that you will not be treated as deserters."

After General Zhao Datian finished speaking, he saw that none of his subordinates chose to be deserters.

He gave a thumbs up and said: "You are all good.

I will act with you and vow to restore the glory of the airship soldiers.

Our airship soldiers are also of great use, and can never be used only as scouts."

General Zhao Datian personally sent each of the airship soldiers aboard the airship where they served.

When he said goodbye, he emphasized to these airship soldiers that once they were hit, try to control the airship and rush towards the enemy's valuable target.

Even if they sacrifice, their sacrifice must be worthwhile.

General Zhao Datian finally boarded the airship. He led the airship troops and flew towards the No. 1 peak where the Shu army was located.

Some people are bound to die in the war, but now it's their turn.

When the airship floats slowly in the air towards the target.

General Li Zhenhai led a partial division, and they were preparing to go around to the rear of the fort.

It is difficult to break through the front of the fort, which is where their firepower density is greatest.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is difficult for the fortress cannon to rotate 360 ​​degrees.

They chose to sneak attack behind the fort. As long as they could break through the enemy's defense line, they could occupy the fort.

Li Zhenhai looked at his panting subordinates and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, let's go faster.

We must rush to the designated position before attacking."

Li Zhenhai urged his subordinates to march quickly, and some soldiers who were not physically strong enough fell behind.

These people can only be allowed to gather in the rear, and the main force abandons them and continues to advance.



After Yan Baizhi saw the Swiss army's actions, the scale was larger than yesterday, but the Swiss army's fighting method was still very cautious.

This was somewhat different from what he had thought before, that the Swedish army would adopt a reckless and all-out war approach.

He is observing the overall movements of the Swedish army.

Chief of Staff Qiu Rushen exclaimed: "Many airships attacked us from the sky."

Yan Baizhi looked at the sky and saw some small dots that were not clearly visible.

He was not worried at all about the airship attack.

In previous wars, when the empire encountered a difficult problem, it would try to use hot air balloons or airships to solve the problem.
