The sun never sets in America

Chapter 406 Youzhou Storm: Hammer and Wall
"Dong Shuai, there's an urgent call from the direction of Longcheng!!"

After Dong Ziqin received the telegram, he glanced at it, took a breath, and then spoke:
"The telegram requires them to hold the front no matter what. Reinforcements from the rear will arrive within twelve hours!!"

"In addition, when issuing a notice to the entire army, it is said that Dong is with the entire army and hopes that you will fight hard to kill the enemy in order to repay your kindness..."

"In addition, the power generation and Xijing sides said that our army is ready to fight against the American invaders. Although the American invaders are numerous, our army will firmly defend Youzhou and defend the defense line..."

"Send another telegram to Yuan Qing, saying that I am waiting for good news from him at the rear. No matter how long it takes, I will continue to wait!!"

After Dong Ziqin finished speaking, he waved people off, while he faced the map of Youzhou on the wall of the command post and fell into deep thought.

Dong Ziqin, who was leaning on his chin, finally rushed out with a shout of "Stop", regardless of his image. He didn't even pass on his coat, only a white military shirt. He looked as serious as usual, without any traces of it. relation.

"Dong Shuai, our army is currently on the line from Shazhou to Longcheng. After two hours of blocking battle, it has basically stopped the opponent's offensive. The situation is currently turning to our army's advantage..."

"The current situation of our army is getting better, and the overall strategy has not been damaged in any way."

"As for the losses, we have only lost three towns so far, which are not too big!!"

Although they didn't understand the specific meaning of this sentence, the people below still obeyed.

After finishing speaking, Dong Ziqin asked again:
"Can the injured soldiers receive placement and treatment?"

When he said this, Dong Ziqin's tone was obviously frustrated, and then he spoke again:
"Bring in a batch of fresh meat and vegetables from the back, and add a batch of tobacco and wine..."

"Dong Shuai..."

Listening to the "admonitions" around him, Yuan Qing laughed dumbly. He didn't expect that he would one day be commanded by others. Even so, he slowly listened to this fairly acceptable "quick attack" plan for sending troops.

"Weapons lost during the war must also be registered, so that the enemy cannot use Han weapons without knowing it."

(Referring to the several machine guns captured by the US military in the Montana battlefield. It was these machine guns in one position that beat the Han army to the point of losing their temper. It truly demonstrated what it means to respond to the enemy with their own way. )

"In addition, some firepower will be transferred from other places to supplement the front line to ensure that the follow-up process of the war can start smoothly!!"

"You say a quick fight, but do you know how many troops there are outside? A total of 300,000. Even if the 300,000 are scattered, there are still 100,000 in one direction. How to attack and what to attack with??"

After Dong Ziqin finished speaking, he asked about the latest detailed battle report, among which the loss of the army was the issue he was most concerned about.

The officer in charge of intelligence immediately stood up and replied: "According to the news coming back from the front line, the front line field hospitals are currently relatively stable, and there are still many vacancies..."

War is like a gear that links the entire American battlefield.

Hearing this almost terrifying casualty ratio, Dong Ziqin's hands visibly trembled, and then he said in a "calm" tone:
"Collect the remains of the soldiers, and try to find those who have been separated. Don't let their families worry too much."

Only Liu Peng, who was far away in the palace in Xijing, said calmly after learning that a war had begun in Youzhou and millions of American troops had invaded the territory:
"War is like rain, the living is like jade, the victor is like a mountain, and the defeated is like a river!!"

Just like a high-speed train, it is the time to stop for coal refueling. As for why it is not a "truce", it may be because the passengers on the train are not cooperating! !
The trains were flying and the crowds were surging, creating an unprecedented "liveliness".

Then he said:

After doing all this, Dong Ziqin fell into a kind of "loneliness". For a general who was accustomed to riding his horse and whipping his whip and marching directly to attack, hiding in the command post behind was simply a kind of torture, and This torture is likely to last for a long time until the war is won.

In Liu Peng's eyes, two months is the limit of the US military. Beyond this range, the Han army will dominate the world.

"In addition, it is important to prevent the other party from forcing a second breakthrough. We must give orders to all armies on the front. We must ensure that if people are present in the position, and if they are not there, the position cannot be destroyed..."

"Report to Commander Dong that our army has suffered no less than 20,000 casualties so far. Among them, no less than 8,000 have been killed with names, and another 4,000 are missing..."

(The so-called missing actually means missing, but the body cannot be found)

.............................................

"If we don't defend ourselves, I'm afraid the incident in Shizhen will happen again!!"

When Yuan Qing said it, he himself felt a little difficult.

As if he was worried about something, Dong Ziqin added: "It is spring at this time, and the weather is getting warmer. Our troops are mostly wearing last year's winter clothes. I called Jinshan back and asked them to speed up the production of spring clothes..."

When he said the word "try your best", it was obvious that Dong Ziqin's Adam's apple squirmed with force, which showed the complexity of his heart.

"However, they requested that some of the seriously wounded be sent back to the rear for recuperation, and I hope Dong Shuai agrees!!"

After all, as Liu Peng himself said:
"No worries in life, no worries in death, no worries in recovery!!"

This sentence was used by Yuan Qing to describe this war.

"Two months is enough!!"

A lot of "good news" came to his ears, as well as a piece of news that was not too bad but not too good either. Dong Ziqin's expression changed a few times, and then he said:
"Don't be careless when you stop them. After all, there are still millions of enemy troops, and they can't be dealt with in one go!!"

"General Yuan, at this moment the US military has passed through Sanhe Town and is coming to the right side of Longcheng."

"A city is like a wall, with ravines as walls, soldiers as barriers, and morale as doors..."

It can be said that in the entire Han Dynasty, there was no one more confident than Liu Peng.

After Dong Ziqin finished speaking, he wandered back and forth in the command room. After wandering for a long time, he finally said:
"Go, go and send electricity to Yuan Qing, and tell me that I want to make wine and light incense to worship the gods..."

But when will the war be won? Not even Dong Ziqin, even the geniuses in the Army Department can't figure it out.

After Dong Ziqin heard this, he immediately answered:

"If there is a shortage of medicine or manpower on the front line, be sure to tell me as soon as possible and I will find a solution then!!"

After the Youzhou battlefield started, the entire North America, especially the places closest to the battlefield, almost fell into a sea of ​​fire and wailing! !

"Permission to move to the rear."

"The people have been evacuated to the rear before the war. It doesn't matter even if all three towns are blown up..."

The colonel staff officer named Xu Minghao opposite continued to speak:
"The enemy is in the light, our army is in the dark, and they are blocked by a strong city. If they want to attack quickly, they can only fight a siege."

"The so-called siege requires a huge amount of troops and even ammunition. However, they have been unable to break through our army's defense line on the railway. This means that they cannot mobilize resources as quickly as possible..."

"We cannot mobilize the military as quickly as possible."

"The so-called siege is a joke in itself. Our army's railway lines are not cut off, so why do they use siege? It's just a joke!!"

"What's more, isn't this the strategy you set out originally, General Yuan?"

Xu Hao looked at Yuan Qing's face with a smile that everyone understood.

"OK……"

Yuan Qing was so amused that he kept saying yes.

"Call Yu Wenqi and tell him that the opportunity to compete has arrived!!"

After Yuan Qing finished speaking, he looked at Xu Hao, whom he liked very much, and smiled:

“Tell me, what are the Americans thinking at this time??”

"I'm thinking why we want to attack Youzhou!!"

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Qing laughed heartily, just as he promised Dong Ziqin before coming, everything was according to plan! !

"Since they regret it, let's make them miserable this time to see what a dilemma is and what a dilemma is!!"

Yuan Qing's expression became extremely serious, which was very different from the friendly look just now.

It even feels like "watching a joke".

…………

Boom boom boom! ! !
Artillery fire is the most obvious feeling in the entire first line of defense in Youzhou.

The second is the constant "attack sounds". These sounds are often mixed with screams. It's nothing more than that they stepped on landmines.

Among the defensive weapons of the Han army, landmines are definitely the most cost-effective. They are small and difficult to find, making them the favorite of the Han army in defensive warfare.

But this sentence can actually be said to the US military. After all, landmines have low technical content and are easy to imitate. In many wars, landmines have become a dazzling weapon between the United States and China.

So much so that when both sides are now at war, the range of artillery strikes has been greatly expanded. For no other reason than to deal with landmines that may be hidden underground.

American-style demining is truly reliable and fast! ! "Da da da!!"

"Hurry, load it quickly, it's too late, it's too late..."

As soon as the bullets stopped, the machine gunners rushed to reload. After all, the enemy on the opposite side was much more sophisticated than before, and their fighting style was more sophisticated and dispersed. In such a short period of time, there was no guarantee that the opponent would attack.

The US military on the opposite side pushed the mortars into the trench under the command of the company commander.

"Go east a little, then turn five degrees..."

"Two rounds loaded, put!!"

As soon as the cannonball was taken out and suspended in mid-air, the company commander couldn't wait to ask for firing.

"Swipe!!"

Two 60mm mortar shells fell into the position near the Han army in a linear manner, making their own "sound".

Then it was gone! !
When the gunpowder smoke dissipated and the gun holes were still capable of emitting fire snakes, the American company commander smashed his hat on the ground in anger and did not speak for a long time.

The fundamental reason why this situation occurred was that the Han army played a role in the construction of trenches.

The Han army divided trenches into no fewer than seven or eight types such as firepower, troop transport, and barrier, among which firepower was the point of shooting.

In order to prevent the opponent's mortars from posing a threat to the Han army's machine guns, they simply modified the entire firepower point. The modified firepower point has basically indirectly blocked the artillery attack.

And it does not hinder the shooting sight at all.

"Mortar preparation, fire No. 1 bomb!!"

The company commander is a typical British man and still has a Manchester accent when he speaks.

When the No. 1 bomb with the skull logo was inserted into the 60mm mortar shell, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield became a little strange.

"Pa", the gray smoke dispersed and melted into the air, like a heavy fog.

"Quickly, put on the mask!!"

"quick!!"

The Han army officer on the opposite side immediately realized that something was wrong. He knew that the Americans had finished thinking about poisoning.

Since the Battle of Montana, the US military has never stopped exploring the reasons for the failure of the war. Among them, poisonous artillery shells are the most recognized reason.

At first, it caused a panic within the US military. After all, this thing is impossible to guard against. If it hits you, the consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, research and development has become the most important and best solution.

But this also brings a consequence, that is, who said "experimental subject".

For a long time after opening, the Manhattan Prison was like a supplier, constantly supplying living bodies to the laboratory code-named "Black Widow" for research on the latest artillery shells.

The White House has chosen to ignore this behavior, which is almost against the law and even the spirit of the founding of the country.

After all, as Lincoln said:
"Letting a group of scumbags serve the country is a kind of education in itself. As for what happens during the education process, it is all understandable!!"

On the battlefield, gas masks became the biggest winner in the entire war.

After all, it has been pushing the bottom of the box. It never thought that its own glory would come so soon! !

When Chen Qisheng, the commander of the Eighth Division at the rear, learned about the situation on the front line, he was furious and shouted directly:
"I didn't even use this trick, but you did it first. Since you want to do it, then let's do it together!!"

Then, he ordered those "special bombs" to be pulled into position and ready to be fired at any time.

"Five rounds of rapid fire!!"

"shoot……"

The voice of the artillery captain was firmer than ever before. After all, the superiors had just issued a notice that they would return twice as much as the enemy attacked.

When the "swish" and "puff" sounds were heard on the advancing position of the US military, the Americans on the opposite side had also put on masks.

After all, from the moment the No. 1 bomb was fired, they knew that the Han people would definitely retaliate.

The best way to ensure that the other party will not retaliate against you is to "nip it in the bud."

"Hmph, keep firing!!"

U.S. Army Brigadier General Sherman saw the gray smoke coming out of the telescope without any hesitation. Anyway, it had reached this point. It didn't matter whether he could shoot or not. What was important was that the momentum could not be lost.

"Smoke bombs ready..."

If the launch was just a battle of wills, then now it is a "cunning". Taking advantage of the moment when the No. 1 bomb exploded, he mixed in smoke bombs and obscured his sight. No matter how you look at it, he is not a good person.

Sherman looked at the smoke bombs in the telescope and the soldiers entering a group, his eyes became sharper, and then he ordered:
"Be ready for bombardment at any time, show no mercy!!"

When the artillery lieutenant colonel received this almost "self-destruct" order, his hands were shaking.

After all, these were all our own people, and they sacrificed themselves so casually just for the sake of winning the war.

Everyone is a bit sad! !

But when executing the order, the lieutenant colonel was very decisive. After all, the best way to avoid becoming the next victim is to prove that he is worthy of being a dog! !

What is the value of a dog? It is to carry out the owner's orders without hesitation! !

In the smoke, when the two armies met and tested each other with bayonets in the fog, a series of slightly whistling sounds suddenly appeared in the sky, and finally there was a "bang".

Hundreds of American troops and a slightly smaller number of dozens of Han troops perished together.

Just like the sand in the sea, when Tao is not Tao, it must be at this time when the outcome is still undecided and there is still a chance. It can be seen that from the beginning, Charman's plan was to perish together.

"Damn, these beasts!!"

After Chen Qisheng learned what the Yankees had done, he kicked down the chair from the command post and continued to insult those Americans who were so shameless that they would even destroy their own people! !
The promised Declaration of Independence turned out to be all fake! !
At the critical moment, these white-skinned men were more thorough and crazier than the Eastern generals who liked to fight to the death and use the art of war.

"Foreign bastards, inhumane!"

Chen Qisheng looked at the smoke outside and said this involuntarily.

On the battlefield, because of this almost suicidal style of play, it was really difficult for the Han army to deal with it for a while. It can even be said that this "inhumane" style of play really restrained the Han army and made it difficult for the Han army to deal with it. It is difficult to have a comfortable response.

"Very good, continue!!"

When Sherman received the battle report from the front line, the corners of his mouth raised. He had come up with this method before the war started, in order to restrain the agile fighting style of the Han army.

He has a special name for this style of play, which is "bomb".

What is a bomb? It can hurt others as well as yourself.

As for the consequences, that is not the scope of Sherman's consideration. There is only one thing he needs to consider, and that is victory! !

"Strengthen your defenses and don't panic!!"

"When necessary, fight the opponent directly!!"

Faced with such a shameless style of play, Chen Qisheng's best solution was to attack in the absence of a good solution.

Although this does not conform to the "stick to consumption" strategy above, it is indeed the best solution for their eighth division at present.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The sound of artillery could be heard in the ears. When the sound of artillery stopped, bayonet battles and gun battles continued to take place on the battlefield.

Life is like a flower that has finished its flowering period and dies anytime and anywhere.

War, at this moment, became a more terrifying death than disease.

In the countryside dozens of kilometers away, groups of cavalry like storms were gathering quickly.

They even carried at least four war horses, which was simply a special standard for the Han cavalry with a limit of three horses.

When the army was reorganized, the commander of the cavalry, Lieutenant General Yu Wenqi, drew his saber, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Swear to defeat the thieves!!"
