Chapter 471
Chapter 471
Airships have turned into orange-red fireballs. This gorgeous and tragic visual effect is a kind of vigilance, a threat, and an incentive for the pilots. However, for the ground troops who are anxiously waiting for the opportunity to attack on the ground, it is another completely different feeling.
"Don't waste the sacrifice of the brothers of the airship team." Cheng Chi just reminded the battalion commanders who were neatly arranged in front of him and anxiously waiting for the order to attack. It turned out that I don't know how many people envy the airship team. They are the rarest troops in Yunzhou, with good treatment and enviable identities. But now, these prides of heaven are still superior to those of them who fight in traditional ways on some levels, but it seems that the gap is not that big. The airship is really dangerous. If the airship suffers a little damage, they may be able to safely withdraw from the battle and escape to the area where they control the enemy, but once the damage is heavier, or if the control is slightly less timely, the airship will all be crushed to pieces and have no chance to escape.
The airship members were so proud that when they found that they were injured suddenly, they turned off the heat generator without hesitation, dived directly and hit the target. The violent explosion also became their weapon for bothering. The strong fortress towers may be able to resist rounds of bombardment of sulphur bombs, especially the accuracy of the bombs in the air. However, when an injured airship with half-cabin sulphur bombs and a large tank of high-quality fuel hits with huge kinetic energy, there is nothing to do. What can hurt the inside of the tower is not just the scorching flames, huge shock waves, and deafening sounds that can also cause considerable damage to the people in the tower.
The air raid took half an hour, and many airships had already dropped all the sulphurs and began to return. At this time, there were fires everywhere on the entire Dalun Mountain. Almost every building was either ignited and burning, or with charred burning marks. The soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty did not know how much spirit and sacrificed to preserve the most important support points of the Dalun Mountain Fortress.
Cheng Chi launched an attack in advance. While the airship team was still attacking and the entire Dalun Mountain was emitting scorching power, six fighting infantry battalions were divided into four directions and rushed towards Dalun Mountain.
"Captain Xie Bo sent a contact, saying that after supplying ammunition, he would guarantee that one hundred airships would cooperate with our attack." A staff officer read out the document handed over by the messenger. Cheng Chi nodded and said, "Reply: Thank you for the heroic battle of the airship team, we will do our best."
Cheng Chi is not polite at all. This time the airship team set an example for everyone. The pilots, who were originally jealous of many soldiers and officers, have laid a solid foundation for a comprehensive attack with their courage, technology and blood. When the fighting infantry of the six battalions carried out the first wave of assault, the soldiers of the Western North Liao Army at the foot of the mountain were unable to organize decent resistance. On the one hand, the first line of defense was not equipped with much manpower and material resources, but it was indeed because of the repeated bombings. Although the Northern Liao counterattack achieved certain results, the morale of the Dalun Mountains had been broken.
Gao Senqi has long been no longer in Dalun Mountain. He is the core of the entire Western Army, and Dalun Mountain is just an important link. Now the commander of Dalun Mountain and all the surrounding Northern Liao troops is a clan uncle of Gao Senqi, Gao Mengzhong. Gao Mengzhong is the one who asks for this chore that he is asking for, which is absolutely dangerous in the eyes of others. In the final analysis, although he is not optimistic about the goal of resisting the Western Army and winning honors for Northern Liao, he is still willing to be the first to sacrifice for this goal. No one can hold on to the end if he presumes that he will definitely fail, and never. Gao Mengzhong understands this very well. When this day comes and when the airships of Yunzhou arrive, he knows that the young marshal Gao Senqi and he carefully arranged for Yunzhou.
The airship formation is probably far from achieving the initial preset goal of annihilation of the invading airship. Now, the damage suffered by the entire Dalun Mountain is astonishingly great. Although the loss of more than twenty airships for the airship team is considered a tragic victory, the casualties paid by Dalun Mountain are already 10,000. When the fighting infantry battalion began to attack Dalun Mountain, Gao Mengzhong did not react at first. He was extremely anxious just now, and he had broken down the east wall and repaired the west wall to deal with the airship attack, which made him unable to turn his mind. But when the six fighting infantry battalions attacked the second mountain gate, Gao Mengzhong sent his own soldiers without hesitation, and the last killer weapon left to her by Gao Senqi, the Flying Tiger Camp infantry of 15,000 people who had been hiding in the cave just now, was the last killer weapon left to her by Gao Senqi, the 15,000-man Flying Tiger Camp infantry.
The addition of the warriors of the Flying Tiger Camp made the battle at the second mountain gate stalemate. The soldiers of Yunzhou suddenly discovered that the weapons and armor in their hands were completely different from those of the powerful warriors. These armors were the armors sold to Chunnan by the Ye Family Workshop. In order to adapt to the relatively short body of the southern warriors, these armors were specially designed and not suitable for wearing on the northern man who was also tall and big. However, on the one hand, the design remaining in the armor itself was sufficient, and because the protective strength of the armor was not reduced because it was slightly incompatible, the protection of these soldiers of the Flying Tiger Camp was more than twice as strong as the ordinary Northern Liao soldiers. And the heavy long handles in their hands, the spear with the triangular spear tips was all powerful tools produced by Yunzhou.
"This account must be calculated with Chunnan." All the soldiers and generals had such thoughts. All the weapons in Ye's workshop had never flowed directly to Beiliao, and the time and quantity of each batch of production and delivery was clear. Moreover, the Ye's workshop had asked merchants in charge of the intermediate links or the court department to issue an end user certificate to ensure that every batch of goods would not flow to people of unknown origin. Chunnan might be negligent in management, or it might be rampant, or it might be intentional. Anyway, no matter which reason, it is enough to make these soldiers in the north of Dongping fighting on the battlefield full of righteous indignation.
"The other four routes remain in contact, and the left and right fighting infantry battalions at the main mountain gate retreated, the heavy infantry battalions, the Changbow battalions, and the heavy equipment battalions were pushed up. Advance little by little, don't worry." Cheng Chi thought for a while and ordered. Dalun Mountain doesn't seem to be possible overnight, and he must take some water grinding skills. Fortunately, everyone is not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
The two heavy infantry battalions were taking the order and the heavy equipment battalions were ready to go. They took horses and put their traction ropes on and headed towards the mountain gate. Although they had slightly leveled the ground in a place that could be controlled, the dust raised by the heavy equipment battalions could still be heard for miles. After all, this was not a quiet march, but a full armed push.
The heavy infantry phalanx is in front of the bifurcated convoy of the Heavy Equipment Battalion. In order to speed up the attack preparation, the heavy infantry battalion specially practiced this way of marching. In addition to the flag bearer of each phalanx, each heavy infantry quickly wore heavy armor, picked up weapons, and then accelerated the follow-up, with one hundred people as a small phalanx, filling the entire phalanx from the middle to the outside. This actually disrupted the original team structure, and used heavy infantry in battalions. It required that each soldier's combat effectiveness must reach a level above the level, and anyone
You have to give full trust to your fellow comrades who you may not know. This tactic has never been used before. However, the heavy infantry battalion in Yunzhou enthusiastically accepted this challenge that was more directed at themselves. After completing the basic queue drill, they continued to fight the mixed troops and conduct various subjects training in order to ensure that the soldiers can establish mutual trust at any time. The heavy infantry battalion has also become more cohesive because of a series of training and this style. They are now the most united force in the entire Yunzhou.
The soldiers of the Longbow Battalion carried arrow bags, and had an arc-shaped deputy knife. They followed the heavy infantry battalion with longbow steps in their hands slowly forward. The relationship between the heavy infantry battalion and the Longbow Battalion was very subtle. Because Ye Tao developed the longbow indiscriminate coverage tactics in Baishi City for the time of crisis, the soldiers of the heavy infantry battalion have always joked that the Longbow Battalion is the supervision team. The only thing that can be injured by arrows on the body of the heavy infantry is the eye part, but as long as the heavy infantry moves forward, it is actually impossible to hurt the eyes from behind. If the arrow hits something, it will hurt the eyes... This is definitely a matter of character.
When such troops were in an orderly line up, step by step, the mountain path with not steep slopes, and when the clanging metal sounds were neatly clamored, the entire Dalun Mountain seemed to be trembling.
"The Fighting Infantry Battalion has been withdrawn. However, the heavy equipment battalion can only attack a little after the mountain gate, and then move forward, and it may not be possible..." The staff officer whispered. This attack method is not targeting the mountains and fortresses, so it is probably not allowed to go back and forth. It is already a super crazy behavior for heavy infantry to attack with heavy armor.
"If you can break through the second mountain gate, there is nothing behind us. Then let the light infantry rush up. As long as you break through the third mountain gate, you can directly let the cavalry go up the mountain to attack the top of the mountain, and there is no trick behind you." Cheng Chi explained. The staff officer nodded and stopped talking.
Suddenly, another messenger rushed into the camp and preached loudly: "General, the B team of the Special Camp is Barrett asking for a visit."
Barrett Cheng Chi was both surprised and happy. Team A of the Special Battalion should have been led by Zhou Rui to the enemy's backbone. God knows why Team B suddenly appeared here. Special Battalion is the most powerful force in Yunzhou. With less than one thousand people in Team B, it cannot change the strength comparison on the battlefield. However, the combat effectiveness of the Special Battalion has never been measured by the number of people.
"General, we have opened two mountain paths in the back mountain. They are rope ladders and simple cable bridges. The traffic capacity is about one thousand people in one hour. We want to attack, but... the attack is not ours. I am afraid that the special camp will not be consumed enough and cannot do my best." After Barret rushed in, he saluted Cheng Chi and immediately reported.
"Oh? Where?" Cheng Chi asked hurriedly.
"Here, after going up the mountain, there is a small platform here, and we have cleared the guard posts around us. It is impossible for there to be another patrol post in the back mountain. From here, it is about less than five hundred steps, and it is the water collection pool." Barrett pointed at the model.
In the tent, the generals and staff members took a breath of air conditioning. The pool was less than 300 steps away from the back door of the main body of the Dalun Mountain Fortress. If you move fast enough, you can directly climb the mountain to take the pool and attack from the back door of the fortress. The battle will end directly. But Barrett is right. Although there are not many enemies on this attack line for the time being, it must be fast enough, the offensive is strong enough, and the attack must be continuous. You must be willing to sacrifice to achieve results.
"Zhao Yao, Dai Mo, you two, I... give you three hours. After three hours, I will launch a full-scale attack head-on and cover you. You must call me in."
"Yes." The two camp officials were overjoyed.
