Chapter 292: The Destruction of the Cheng Family Part 1
Wenshan Prefecture City garrisoned the Fifth Army and some garrisons of the Cheng family. The Fifth Army is one of the several regular army units of the Cheng family, and its combat effectiveness is still some. Moreover, in order to protect the old nest, Cheng Yuhuan brought out all the equipment under the box.
These include four Type 90 heavy machine guns from the Imperial Guard.
The three armies of the Xia family army began to bombard the city with cannons when they arrived at Wenshan City. However, the Cheng family also spent a lot of money this time, and there were not many artillery deployments in the city. The two sides immediately launched a fierce artillery battle, and the entire Wenshan City was filled with smoke and dust.
.
Taking advantage of the smoke of gunpowder, the three assault battalions of the Xia family rushed up with ladders. The weapons of several domestic companies were not advanced enough, so they could only adopt such ancient offensive methods. Several officers of the Cheng family
He glimpsed the opponent's attack in the gap between the smoke, and they immediately ordered four heavy machine guns to open fire.
The machine gunner could not see the figure of the Xia family army, but knew their approximate direction. With the feeling, the four men pressed the trigger of the heavy machine gun and swung the gun back and forth at the same time, and the bullet whipped to the opposite side like a metal whip. The facts proved that
In fact, machine gun shooting does not require precise aiming at all, as long as there is a rough direction, it is enough.
Before the Xia family soldiers who had just rushed up had time to build a ladder, they were knocked to the ground by dense metal torrents. The Xia family soldiers behind rushed up to try to hold the ladder, but were soon knocked down again. In just a few minutes, three battalions
The commando lost most of the losses, so Xia Yuhui had to withdraw his troops.
Xia Yuhui was a little surprised when the other party actually used a heavy machine gun, but it was reasonable. After attacking the Cheng family's nest, the other party naturally began to fight desperately.
Never faced such a powerful rapid-fire weapon, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but scratch his head. He could only order artillery soldiers to bombard the machine gun positions at the city wall. However, the Cheng family was prepared for this. They used steel and cement to build a solid fortress on the city wall.
Although its thickness is not high, it is not something that the 76mm light mountain cannon brought by the Xia family this time cannon cannon cannon.
Xia Yuhui commanded the troops to attack several times, but they were all shot down by the Cheng family's machine guns. The attack was still the same in another direction. Although the Cheng family only had four machine guns, machine gun bunkers were built in all directions. As long as the attack direction of the Xia family's army changed.
Their machine guns will change places. If they attack in four directions, although a machine gun in each direction cannot kill too many people, it will cause considerable damage to morale.
Looking at the opponent's machine gun position, Xia Yuhui was really helpless. Although he knew that the machine guns and bullets of the Cheng family could only be produced by Chinese cords, and the Cheng family would not have much inventory, how could he use his elite soldiers.
The flesh and blood body consumes the other party’s unknown amount of bullet reserves.
Seeing that Wenshan Prefecture City was so anxious that it could not be captured, Xia Yuhui did not launch another attack. After using some of his troops to restrain the defenders, he sent a small group of troops to erode the surrounding cities and villages controlled by the Cheng family. The heavy machine guns and elite troops of the Cheng family were not
There are many. In addition to most of the defenses of the Iron Blood Army, the remaining troops are only enough to defend a few prefectures in Jiaozhi County.
The elite troops of the Cheng family were guarding the city, and other small cities and villages could only be defended by the slave garrison. Seeing that the Cheng family was so short of troops, Xia Yuhui, after urgently dispatching three more troops, began to gradually encroach on the Cheng family.
territory.
In order to gain a foothold in Jiaozhi County as soon as possible, they contacted the riot and rebel army that was beaten by the Cheng family army and suffered heavy casualties. When the Xia family army arrived, the rebel army also cooperated very well. They led the way for the Xia family army and provided supplies, which made the Xia family army progress very quickly.
, and soon controlled most of the urban and rural areas, while the Cheng family army could only watch the Xia family army annex their territory in a few unrelated cities.
The Cheng family army retreated step by step, and Cheng Yuhuan found that his army could not confront the Chinese or Xia family's troops at all. Therefore, he planned to try to send envoys to negotiate. As long as he could protect Jiaozhi County, which the Cheng family had inherited for generations, Cheng Yuhuan was willing to let the second prince return.
The ascension of the capital was jointly controlled by the Xiahou family and the Xia family, while he retired to the mountains and forests.
This is actually a vicious plan. Cheng Yuhuan discovered that the Xia family was aggressive towards the Cheng family, but the Fang family was very stance to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, which made the Cheng family feel very passive. Therefore, Cheng Yuhuan planned to retreat to advance and turn the Xia family and Xiahou to the point of retreating and bring the Xia family and Xiahou
The families united and let them control the central government. In this way, the Fang family lost the last chance to make a profit. The two companies that controlled the central government would regard the strongest Fang family as a thorn in their side. Sooner or later, they would have conflicts between the two sides.
At that time, it was the Cheng family's turn to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Unexpectedly, before Cheng Yuhuan's messenger set off, an amazing news suddenly revealed in the newspaper. The front page headlines of major newspapers published an amazing report on the same day, which reported that the murderer who killed the late emperor and the crown prince was actually
The conspiracy between the second prince and Cheng Yuhuan. A large amount of evidence was listed in the report. The whole country was in an uproar for a while. People condemned the Cheng family, and some even linked the killing of other princes to this matter, claiming that this was
Cheng Yuhuan's conspiracy to rebel and become the emperor.
Such private exposure with dramatic effects was completely caused by the China Intelligence Bureau. After months of investigation, the China Intelligence Bureau had already grasped the real situation, but was just enduring it and waiting for the best opportunity.
The time really came soon. Just when the Cheng family was unable to resist and was about to surrender, the news became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Cheng Yuhuan could not have imagined that his secret assassination of Xiahouying would be exposed. He knew very well that if he was defeated and captured, there would be absolutely no possibility of survival. Therefore, Cheng Yuhuan, who originally wanted to surrender, could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Cheng Yuhuan wanted to fight to the death, but Liu Mingzhao did not give him this opportunity. After the personnel sent by the Chinese leader completely controlled Jiuhua and Jinhua counties, the Iron Blood Army began to attack the Cheng family army.
It was the roar of the 203mm artillery again. The unique whistle of these heavy shells has become an indelible nightmare for the Cheng family. Although Cheng Feng mobilized the most elite troops and even put half of the heavy machine guns in his hand.
It was pulled out, but this still could not change the situation where Cheng's army was in a weak position.
Cheng Feng has been a military general for most of his life, but he has never fought such a cowardly battle. The number of iron-blooded soldiers on the opposite side is only one-quarter of his own, but he can fight him without any power to fight back.
When the air strikes came from ten huge shells of 203 mm artillery, the ten large cannons of 203 mm artillery shells, even the toughest-minded veterans in the Cheng family army were already pale.
The dense shells fell and rolled up smoke and dust. Although Cheng's army dug complete fortifications, thousands of people were killed by the fierce shelling of the Iron Blood Army. The shelling continued, and the trenches dug by the Cheng's army could not withstand the continuous continuous
The artillery bombardment began to collapse on a large scale, burying all the surviving soldiers underground.
The Iron Blood Army's artillery lasted for more than half an hour. Their shells seemed to be inexhaustible, and they completely plowed the Cheng Family Army's position. The originally cold land had been blown up slightly hot, and all the entire battlefield
The trees and mounds were lost, and the Cheng family's position fell into a dead silence.
After the shelling, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army held the weapons in their hands and opened the scattered line to charge towards the Cheng family army's position. The soldiers of the Cheng family army who were still alive tried hard to climb out of the soft soil layer and saw the Iron Blood rushing over.
Military soldiers immediately found all the weapons nearby that could be found and shot desperately, trying to stop the opponent's attack.
The Iron Blood Army soldiers with flat light machine guns ran and shot forward, suppressing the resistance of the Cheng family army. Soon the nine hundred submachine guns in the hands of the chief and deputy squad leader also began to show their power. The Iron Blood Army soldiers rushed closer and closer, and some were approaching.
The soldiers stopped and threw the grenade into the remaining trenches of the Cheng family army.
A shrill scream sounded from time to time, and the remaining soldiers of the Cheng family were strangled by the Iron Blood Army. The first line of defense of the Cheng family was soon lost. Seeing that the Iron Blood Army was unstoppable, Cheng Feng immediately ordered all artillery soldiers to fire and suppress the Iron Blood Army's charge.
A dense shells came and exploded around the Iron Blood Army soldiers. Many soldiers were hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground. The remaining soldiers immediately looked for cover and avoided the opponent's shelling. Seeing the opponent's artillery fired, they were in the back.
The Iron Blood Army artillery also began to shell.
The Iron Blood Army's artillery loading explosion is stronger, the launching medicine is longer and the artillery caliber is also very large, so they quickly suppressed the artillery of the Cheng family army. After the fierce artillery fire counterattack, the Cheng family army's artillery was lost.
heavy.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Feng bit his teeth and sent two suicide squads to attack the Iron Blood Army that had just captured the first line of defense with rifles. However, there was a light machine gun that came with the team, and the Iron Blood Army quickly used dense firepower.
Respond to the counterattack of the Cheng family army.
The battle between the Cheng family army and the Iron Blood Army was extremely fierce, and the casualties of the Cheng family army also rose sharply. Nearly 60,000 people were killed in three days, and more wounded soldiers were injured. The total number of casualties of the Iron Blood Army was less than 10,000, and most of them were because of the
The results of the Cheng family army's night attack.
Faced with the continuous night attacks of the Cheng family army, Liu Mingzhao ordered the troops on duty to replace them with submachine guns at night. With these sharp weapons in the trenches, the Cheng family soldiers who only held single shots and installed guns were howling, not only did the Iron Blood Army's casualties
As the number of casualties in Cheng's family army also increased rapidly.
Although the casualties of the night attack became increasingly serious, Cheng Feng did not dare to stop because during the day, the Cheng family army had no hope. Only by relying on the night could they have the possibility of greater results.
Cheng Feng's continuous night attack angered Liu Mingzhao. After five days of fierce fighting, the Iron Blood Army launched a general attack. Under the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery, the Iron Blood Army attacked the entire line, and the dense machine gun bullets suppressed the Cheng family army, unable to raise their heads.
