The tanks pressed towards the Jiangbei Army on both sides, followed by grenadiers like shadows.
Wherever the tanks went, they were devastated. How could the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army withstand such grenade bombings? These rebels often suffered one round in the trench, two rounds of explosions, and then climbed out of the trench crying and escaping to the rear.
Already.
One hundred and fifty tanks were like one hundred and fifty invulnerable and invincible gods, thrusting left and right on the Jiangbei Army's position, not only causing a partial collapse, but also severely impacting the overall morale of the Jiangbei Army.
The loss of trenches one after another was like falling dominoes, which was about to cause the entire Jiangbei Army to collapse.
At the same time, the Huben Army in the rear raised eight observation hot-air balloons. The hot-air balloon soldiers rose to an altitude of 100 meters and used telescopes to carefully observe all fronts of the Jiangbei Army, constantly monitoring the enemy's situation.
In the panic of the battlefield, Wu Sangui had no time to pay attention to the hot air balloon of the Huben Army.
He was lying on the edge of the trench with blood-red eyes and his teeth were clenching.
The throne of the county king was about to be obtained, but it was defeated by Li Zhi's Tiger Army. This made the ambitious Wu Sangui refuse to agree in any case.
Wu Sangui looked at Shi Kefa and found that the Minister of War in Nanjing was gaping at the tanks on the battlefield and was speechless.
Wu Sangui took an anxious breath, suddenly slapped the outer wall of the trench, and shouted: "Turn the cannon to the back and use the cannon to blast these Tiger and Ben troops!"
Wu Sangui wants to use the cannon to blast the grenadiers behind the tanks.
Shi Kefa's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but said loudly: "Wonderful! Chang Bo's clever plan! This time is different from before, now all the Tiger and Guard troops are near the chariot! Pass the order quickly and let Qu She shoot.
The artillerymen retreat quickly! Retreat to two hundred steps away and bombard the enemy!"
Wu Sangui looked at the flat ground behind the trench and took a breath.
At this time, Jiangbei Army's fifth and sixth-floor trenches were within fifty meters of the tanks. Mortars could not eject explosive shells at such a close distance. If Jiangbei Army wanted to use a "curved cannon" to bombard the grenades behind the tanks,
Soldiers, the mortar must be moved several hundred meters behind.
Jiangbei Army did not expect that it would be necessary to bomb near its own trenches, so it did not dig trenches deeper behind. At this time, if Jiangbei Army's "curved artillery" moved back, it would have to leave the trenches and fire on the ground.
Although Wu Sangui could think of using the cannon to retreat to break the battle situation, he didn't know whether the cannon could survive on the battlefield if it left the trench.
The battlefield was in chaos, with a large number of tanks lying across the middle blocking the line of sight. Logically speaking, the Tigers and Lieutenants could not see the retreat of these artillery cannons. As long as the Tigers and Lieutenants had no vision, they would not be able to attack these artillery pieces.
However, Thief Li's methods...
Wu Sangui clenched his fists, and nervous sweat broke out on his head.
Wu Sangui didn't know what the hot air balloon raised by Huben Army was for.
To deal with enemies with cold weapons, hot air balloons can be said to be great weapons in the sky. To deal with enemies with thermal weapons, although hot air balloons cannot directly attack the enemy, they can provide a detailed view of the entire battlefield. It can be said that with hot air balloons,
You can grasp all the enemy's movements.
Every move of the Jiangbei Army was under the surveillance of the Huben Army. The observers on the hot air balloon quickly dropped a note, reporting that the Jiangbei Army was moving its cannons to the rear.
Zheng Kaicheng smiled and said to Zhong Feng: "Wu Sangui has some ideas."
Zhong Feng sneered and said: "To be too wise and short-handed, to get into camp and be repetitive is not a good general."
Zheng Kaicheng laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Zhenbei, don't be picky. Among the Jiangbei Army, Wu Sangui is the best general."
Wu Sangui is indeed a good general. On such a battlefield, facing the Huben Army's epoch-making weapons, he can flexibly deploy various weapons and find possible countermeasures.
However, in the face of absolute technological superiority, any struggle is meaningless.
Zheng Kaicheng gave an order, and the Huben Army's three hundred rifled heavy artillery aimed at the Jiangbei Army's mortars. Under the command of the hot-air balloon observers, the heavy artillery aimed at the Jiangbei Army's direct-fire artillery that moved toward the rear.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The artillery shells streaked across the battlefield like meteors, shooting straight at the Jiangbei Army's cannons that had left the trench.
When Wu Sangui saw the heavy artillery shells passing over his head, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face turned ashen.
Before the artillerymen of the Jiangbei Army reached their destination, they encountered flying artillery shells. They were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands and fell to the ground desperately.
The hit rate for the first shot was not very high. But the sharp-eyed hot-air balloon soldiers could help the artillery adjust the angle, so the hit rate for the second shot was very impressive.
Three hundred twenty-four-pound cannons use more than 20 kilograms of explosive shells, which explode into a large area. The explosion caused by this heavy artillery is not comparable to grenades, and the shock wave can destroy all personnel and equipment within a dozen meters in an instant.
.The artillerymen of the Jiangbei Army could not escape the huge shock wave of the explosion even if they were lying on the ground. It is unknown how many people were killed.
The Jiangbei Army's idea of setting up artillery to bombard the grenadiers was completely impossible.
After three rounds of bombing, the artillerymen were blown to pieces. The artillerymen ignored the servants guarding the formation and lay on the ground, yelling and cursing, and fled towards the west with their heads in their hands.
Shi Kefa originally hoped that the cannon can play a miraculous role in changing the situation of the war, but what he waited for was the collapse of the artillery. He suddenly became pale, closed his eyes feebly, and fell on the earth wall of the trench.
The Jiangbei Army has nothing to do with tanks, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the war.
On the battlefield, tanks protected the grenadiers as they moved along the edge of the trench, sweeping the entire front at walking speed.
The demoralized rebels simply could not bear the pressure of such chariots, and collapsed one after another.
Not to mention the ordinary rebels in local military towns. The combat effectiveness of these local armies was very poor and their morale was very low. At this time, when they saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, they only wanted to escape. As soon as they saw the tanks approaching, they fled in droves.
, there was no thought of resistance at all.
There were also a handful of Jiangbei troops with unusual resilience who tried to attack the Tiger and Ben troops behind the tanks. However, 10,000 Tiger troops were standing densely behind the tanks, and their firepower was very powerful. The few Jiangbei troops who rushed out of the trenches finally lined up and passed through the gap between the tanks.
Before they could catch up with the Tiger and Ben troops, they were defeated by ferocious shotguns.
The number of soldiers that can be accommodated in the trench within the length of the unit is actually very limited. On the local battlefield behind the tanks, the 10,000 Tiger Army has a numerical advantage. Coupled with the advanced weapons at hand, it is not that easy to deal with.
If the Jiangbei Army in the distance wanted to rush out of the trenches and surround the grenadiers, they would be defeated by the Huben Army using breech-loading rifles, which was not an option.
The war lasted for an hour, with tanks and grenadiers destroying everything. After destroying the five-mile front line, the Jiangbei Army completely collapsed.
