Chapter 1418 The battlefield is silent

"Originally, when the wing flag was rising over Mashou Castle, I was extremely excited. It represented that the Imperial Army won another extremely brilliant victory on the kingdoms' positions. The tears of the kingdoms opposite told me that they were sad and humiliated. My hands holding the pen could not help but tremble, and my body even shivered with excitement. I had even thought about how I should publicize to my compatriots this battle, which had not been invested much in the entire Haicheng Battle. Although it was difficult, the Imperial Army still won the final victory.

Perhaps, as the 36th Infantry Colonel Corps said, only words such as "The Flower of the Empire blooms over the Mashou Castle" can describe the glory of the Imperial Army at this time. They occupied not only positions, but also destroyed the confidence of the civilians in the Kingdom.

However, less than thirty seconds later, my nightmare came. The tall and strong Mashou Castle, which could withstand the 120mm cannon, collapsed. It was like a building block for children. It took less than ten seconds to turn into a pile of ruins in front of me. The corps flag was gone, the 9th Division's military band was gone, the 36th Infantry Fleet Flag Team and their Colonel Captain Li Cong, were gone.

The only thing I saw was a blood-stained steel helmet rolling down from the top of the five-meter-high ruins and rolling to my feet. The helmet was no longer as round as before, with blood and hair on it. I could imagine how helpless the owner of this helmet, the once brave Imperial Army soldier, was when this sudden disaster came.

Through the dull eyes of the soldiers who stood around and did not enter Mashou Castle and survived, I knew that they were dead. No one could survive under the pressure of thousands of tons of reinforced concrete. Except for the imperial officers and soldiers on the roof, there was at least one infantry squad in the building, with more than 300 people, all of whom were buried in the occupied positions at this moment.

The kingdoms are too cruel and too amazing. They are not only like foxes, but also like wolves. They did not give up their positions, but chose to die with their enemies. From that moment on, I knew that the Empire could not win this damn war. They had a large population, even if they exchanged ten people for us, the Empire added the elderly, children, and women, and it was not enough to exchange them.

It was also from that moment that I knew that I had to return to my country, otherwise, sooner or later, I would lie in the cold reinforced concrete like the imperial officers and soldiers in the ruins, never see the rising sun again, and never see my mother again!

So, I am alive now, but there are hundreds of thousands of imperial officers and soldiers who have never had the chance to return to their hometown because of this damn war."

After the war, the war correspondent who was sent back to his country early due to his severe mental damage in the Battle of Mashoubao wrote in his memoirs. It was precisely because of his detailed account that the families of the 36th Infantry Regiment of the Ninth Division finally learned the truth about their relatives' death in battle.

In the Battle of Mashoubao, more than 28 major captains, captains, lieutenants and lieutenants were included in the Battle of Mashoubao, including more than 28 major captains, captains, lieutenants and lieutenants. The Black Hawk Army killed more than 1,800 people and injured more than 1,100 seriously. One infantry corps was killed in name only. Or rather, the 36th Infantry corps could have been removed from the Black Hawk Empire Army sequence because their corps flag was buried deep under thousands of tons of ruins. Without large-scale machinery assisted excavation, no one could find this corps flag in human power.

In fact, until the entire Haicheng Battle ended, even to the end of the King Capital Battle and the end of the Yanjiang Prefecture Battle, the Black Hawk Army did not excavate the pile of ruins. In fact, they lacked large excavators, and the 36th Infantry Regiment was directly cut by the commander-in-chief, all the soldiers who survived this battle had returned to China to retire from active service, and no one insisted on spending a lot of manpower and material resources to dig concrete piles for such useless things.

Their family received an obituary of their relatives' death and a small wooden box of ashes, but they did not know that the box of ashes that they thought were relatives were just the cremated ashes of more than 1,000 people who had died in battle in the 36th Infantry Regiment.

After the war, the kingdom government did not excavate and sort out the ruins of Mashou Castle, but built the monument of Mashou Castle at the top of Mashou Castle ruins. The list of all participants of the 52nd Regiment of the 88th Division was included.

Under the monument, the Black Hawk Army's life-losing flags were buried in the ruins of Mashou Castle, and hundreds of them slowly rotted in the ruins until they became the bodies of the Black Hawk Army.

Lao Zhou and the rickshaw driver, a pair of friends who formed the Battle of Mashoubao, survived by chance and lived until sixty years later. They also served as volunteer tour guides for the Mashoubao Memorial Hall for many years, telling the story of the thousands of Young Pioneers in Haicheng that they witnessed and experienced the thrilling week decades ago.

Many people have asked them whether the hero's troops finally evacuated successfully or died in battle with the Black Hawk Imperial Army under this famous ruin. They had their eyes red and their heads said they didn't know until they finally smiled mysteriously.

Because, when they felt that they were about to go to heaven to meet with those heroes in their hearts, an old man with white hair found them, paid tribute to them for decades to clear the Memorial of the Battle of Mashou Castle and explained the Battle of Mashou Castle to countless descendants, and thanked them for their worship at the Qingming Festival to their comrades who died here.

What made the two old men even more excited was that they finally heard the most happy news in fifty or sixty years. The old man participated in all the battles in Mashou Castle, including turning Mashou Castle into a large ruin and burying the Black Hawk Imperial Army Colonel and their corps flags.

Under the monument of victory that they stopped every day, there was no tragedy of the kingdom soldiers, but only the souls of the Black Hawk Imperial Army.

As a living fossil-like figure in the Battle of Mashoubao Memorial Hall, who are over 90 years old, they welcome all the kingdoms from all over the world to visit the commemorative flowers, including foreigners, but they only rejected the Black Hawk Empire.

The two stubborn old men waved their crutches and drove the Black Hawk Empire who came from the Black Hawk Empire to worship their relatives thousands of miles away, and even government staff who came to persuade them for the friendship between the two countries. The reason was extremely simple: This is the monument of the victory of the Kingdom people. Those Black Hawk Empires buried here are sacrifices, and there is no sacrifice or the reason to enjoy the memorial? They want to pay tribute to their relatives. Who will pay tribute to the Kingdom because of their tens of millions of white bones decades ago? Even if they want to pay tribute, then kneel down under the monument and repent for their ancestors first! Otherwise, those corpses would have to be buried alone under the monument of victory for hundreds of thousands of years.

Two white-haired old men were about to be silly. Even if a ten-year-old child could easily push them down with a hand, dozens of Black Hawk Empire men had no choice but to retreat.

The tradition of only being allowed to commemorate and offer flowers and not allowing the Black Hawk Empire to worship has not ended because of the deaths of the two old men. People living in that area have always kept in mind this unwritten rule, and even the government pretended not to see it.

Yes, as the warrior who lived to the post-war told the two old men, there might be the blood of the kingdom soldiers in the ruins of Mashou Castle and the bravery, but this time there was no tragedy.

This time, it is a victory of wisdom.

All the mechanisms that Li Cong discovered, the thunder and explosives he searched for were designed by Chen Yunfa for him to discover. If this is not the case, Chen Yunfa was worried that the fortress would not tempt the big fish to take the bait. No matter how stupid the fish was, after being deceived by the bait many times, he learned to bite the hook easily.

Therefore, Chen Yunfa led his special forces and the infantrymen in the first company to arrange baits in the fortress, so as not to easily discover the baits. If the Black Hawk Army was really stupid enough to find these baits, these baits would not really explode. Once the 300 kilograms of explosives placed in the fortress exploded, the people of the kingdom on the other side of the river would definitely be unlucky. The concrete soaring into the sky could cause a terrible bloody storm among the crowd.

The real killer move is to place explosives buried deep in Mashou Castle on all load-bearing pillars five meters underground. Chen Yunfa had the Mashou Castle building map left by Boss Lu, but the Black Eagle Army did not. Even if they had it, they would not have time to dig a few meters to find any explosives after occupying Mashou Castle.

More than twenty places of explosives with a total weight of more than 300 kilograms were placed, which was not enough to blow up the Mashou Castle with thousands of tons, but it was enough to blow up all load-bearing columns. One or two load-bearing columns were blown off. Mashou Castle with a solid enough wall may be able to support it, but what about ten and twenty load-bearing columns breaking? No matter how thick the walls of Mashou Castle are, they are like a big stupid elephant that has lost its bone support and collapsed with a bang.

This is like the principle of directional blasting of used buildings similar to later generations. Special forces can train this item a lot in street fighting training. How to destroy more houses with the least amount of explosives is considered a useful place today.

This daytime is definitely an indescribable day for Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han.

Wang Han was suppressed by Li Cong to the temporary command center for a legitimate reason and could not attend the flag-raising ceremony. At that moment, Wang Han was so embarrassed and angry that he was unable to add to the flag-raising ceremony. That was a completely decisive suppression for this Black Hawk Army Lieutenant Colonel. He could even feel the pity revealed in the eyes of his officers and soldiers. But he could not refute. As the deputy captain, he had the responsibility of being in charge of the headquarters if the chief officer was not present.

In his heart, he cursed Li Cong, a bastard who went upstairs and broke his head and went downstairs and broke his leg. Then, his curse was so effective. It was a little bit ruthless. Li Cong not only broke his head, but even lost his head.

Because, he led nearly 2,000 men to climb up and down the ruins more than five meters high, and then pulled out several broken arms and legs. Even though he saw a colleague's body being crushed into a specimen by a stone slab, he could not get the specimen out intact. Because the kingdom people really valued the vault too much. Not only was the walls so strong that the 120 cannons could do nothing, but there was no corner cut in the interior of the fortress. The thickness of the stone slab alone exceeded half a meter, and the length and width were more than three meters. More than twenty people shouted and tried their best, but the stone slab did not even move.

The specimen can only become a specimen forever, together with the stone slab pressing the specimen.

As for the faint crying sounds that penetrated tens or even dozens of meters deep inside the ruins, they had long been ignored by the Army Lieutenant Colonel. Not to mention that he was either pangolins or real pangolins came, I was afraid that he could only look at a large number of reinforced concrete blocks that were not shaking in human power and decided to change to a place with soil to make a nest.

After spending half a day, he had to accept that Li Cong, who had long disappeared, had collectively been loyal to His Majesty, Wang Han, who had collectively been loyal to His Majesty, reported to the division headquarters with an extremely complicated mood.

The anger of the division commander Ke Du made Wang Han unable to help but feel frightened in the telegram, but he couldn't suppress the natural excitement in his heart. Li Cong supported it. Then shouldn't he, the deputy captain of the 36th Infantry Regiment take the lead?

However, looking at the dejected subordinates in the trench, Wang Han couldn't help feeling a little depressed. Although the wing was already terrible before today, there were still two major captains, five or six captain-level officers, and three or four infantry squadrons in full swing. But now, Li Cong, a bastard, didn't count on his own, but he had to bring in the flag guard squadron and the number of officers in the wing. Now, except for him, the lieutenant colonel, the remaining officer with the highest rank was Captain Bai Hua. A week ago, he was just a lieutenant, okay?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Even if he is promoted to the corps captain of the 36th Infantry Regiment, the troops he can command now are actually only half a brigade. It is better to say that he is an infantry captain or a deputy than a corps leader.

Bastard, is this the legendary tragic situation of a daughter-in-law who becomes a mother-in-law but finds that she has no daughter-in-law?

The painful Wang Han welcomed Lieutenant General Ke Du and Chief of Staff of the Division, Colonel Yu Tai, who rushed over from twenty kilometers away. The furious Lieutenant General of the Black Hawk Army did not give any face to the Army Lieutenant Colonel, who was about to become the deputy captain of the infantry. In front of thousands of Black Hawks, he taught Wang Han a few big mouths and a heart-wrenching leg. If this lieutenant general had not had the right to directly implement military law on the general, everyone would believe that the poor scapegoat Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han would definitely be chopped into meat by Ke Du, whose eyes were almost glaring, and could be made into dumplings.

Wang Han, who was rolling on the ground, naturally had no courage to resist the lieutenant general of the army, could only keep the account on the deceased Li Cong. Anyway, he planned to do his job and not work hard when the lieutenant general asked him to dig the ruins. Even if Li Cong's bastard was not killed by a stone and still hid in the crack of the stone, he was destined to die of thirst and starvation in the crack of the stone.

If he was lucky enough to find potatoes or something in the crack of the stone, let him learn to plant potatoes in the crack of the stone! If the damn potatoes of the kingdom can sprout.

Obviously, the huge concrete wreckage would not become lighter because of the arrival of the Black Hawk Army Lieutenant General. Ke Du wisely confirmed that all search and rescue operations were undoubtedly futile.

Although he wanted to kill Wang Han, a fool, as the commander of the 9th Division, Ke Du was still rational. He understood that the damage to the war in Mashou Castle had become a fact, and no matter how angry he was, it would be useless. Killing Wang Han to vent his anger was just to add a list of senior Black Hawk Generals to the newspapers of the Kingdom people, and also cause a lot of trouble for himself. Now his primary task is to save the 36th Infantry Regiment first, so he could only pinch his nose and appoint Wang Han as the captain of the 36th Infantry Regiment on the spot, and announced that the 36th Infantry Regiment temporarily moved the position ten miles away from Mashou Castle.

The lieutenant general of the Black Hawk Army knew very well that the 36th Infantry Regiment had no morale and its combat effectiveness was really vulnerable. Letting them go to the front line to fight against the kingdoms is definitely a food delivery act. It would be better to let them serve as a warning and alert the baggage troops. If you don’t go to the front line, just set a ward for the baggage regiment!

A former main force corps was to serve as sentinels for the baggage soldiers they looked down upon. If it were put before, there was no need for the chief officer to fight for it, I am afraid that the Black Hawk Empire Army warriors who were still very morale when they boarded the warship and headed to Haicheng to make a sound. However, when the order was given by Lieutenant General of the Black Hawk Army, all the soldiers of the 36th Infantry Regiment were slightly relieved from Wang Han.

For them, no matter what they do, they just need to leave this position. Every time they stay in this position that ruins nearly 2,000 of their colleagues for a second, they seemed to be able to hear the faint crying sounds coming from the huge ruins.

Their feelings were actually right. When it was late at night, the people of the Kingdom passing across the river almost heard howlings coming from Mashou Castle, like Devil's Cry, lasting for more than half a month.

Some people even heard the wailing sounds in the fortress half a year later. I don’t know if it was the case that Wang Han thought of planting potatoes, or the sound of the wind blowing in the holes in the ruins.

But there must be living people in the fortress at this time, and the Black Hawk Army decisively abandoned them. It is definitely true. Although everyone saw the huge reinforced concrete blocks of Mashou Castle, they thought that those who wanted to move by hand were stupid, unless they used explosives...

OK! If you use explosives, it would be a waste of explosives for saving people! The Black Hawk Empire has always been very stingy.

But is it stupid to move reinforced concrete that cannot be moved by hand? "It depends on the attitude of this nation towards life. Man will conquer nature. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing in this world that is impossible. Don't our kingdom use millet and rifles to overturn the Black Hawk Empire people with planes, ships and cannons?" This is a sentence that Liu Lang said firmly after he came to the ruins of Mashou Castle in person after the war.

The vassal company lost their supreme commander, and the only thing worthy of their gratitude was that apart from the unlucky Colonel Bangmao, they were much luckier than the 36th Infantry Regiment, who liked to pick peaches. Except for the 800 people who were damaged in Mashou Castle yesterday, none of them made their lives in the collapsed Mashou Castle ruins, and they did not have to watch them abandoned.

Therefore, after their deputy captain who could hardly suppress his excitement became the acting chief, they were taken away by the angry Ke Du and refilled on the front line against hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the kingdom. Although their morale was not high and their combat effectiveness was limited, they could still be treated as cannon fodder.

When Ke Du walked forward, Wang Han hurriedly took more than 400 defeated generals of the 36th Infantry Regiment to the newly arranged position, which was much faster than when they came. They almost ran away from the position of Mashou Castle, as if they had left late, and the elusive kingdom people would jump out from the ground to give them a terrible left hook.

All the teeth on his mouth were knocked out, and if they were beaten again, they would be dead! Lieutenant Colonel Wang Han was walking before everyone's command this time.

In fact, he didn't know that being a sentinel for the baggage corps was not a good job.

Since he and the 36th Infantry Regiment arrived at Mashoubao, he and the defenders of Mashoubao have been destined to be entangled.

The night was dark, and it was the night the next day after the Battle of Mashoubao. The entire mountainous area of ​​Haichengzhuang was silent. For some reason, for two consecutive days, there was no battle between more than 100,000 Black Hawks located in Haicheng District and hundreds of thousands of kingdoms in the west of Haicheng. Both sides seemed to be accumulating strength, waiting for a larger war, or perhaps both sides were waiting for something.

Here, a three-story building belonging to the Haichengzhuang Mountain Area, 3 miles west of Mashou Castle. Dozens of Black Hawk troops were sleeping on each other next to the bonfires lit on the open space outside the building. There were about ten cars lined up in neat rows beside them. Two groups of sentries were also drowsy not far away.

Haicheng District has been thoroughly investigated. In addition to a small number of scattered soldiers who did not have time to escape, there is no longer a established kingdom army. The Black Hawk Army, who has participated in the war for nearly a month, was extremely tired. What's more, they were only responsible for transporting ammunition and food. Their tired bodies and lack of sufficient awareness of the cruelty of the war made them lose all their vigilance.

On the battlefield, this is undoubtedly deadly.
