Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"Go back and tell the envoy that our army can divide up to 500 troops to support the Jazz."

"Yes." The officer saluted again and said as he ran down.

"How dare the Lord Viscount offend the Sir?" A head of the regiment asked doubtfully to his colleagues.

"You have been on the front line all year round, so I don't know very well. Sir Viscount is from Sir Martha's faction." The officer whispered sideways.

"Hasn't Sir Martha been assassinated in Wangcheng a few years ago?"

"Yes, but Sir Martha still has a widow and a child." The officer said meaningfully.

"Sir Martha's wife is the younger sister of Viscount James. In the beginning, Viscount James was originally a Grand Sir, but the Grand Sir died early. Later, he relied on Sir Martha. Unfortunately, Sir Martha did not survive. Grand Duke Wise I, the two most important sons are dead, and only Sir Nicholas is left. Forget about the rest, he is too cowardly, and Viscount James will inevitably have some ideas of his own."

"It's really bad. The political situation really makes me feel helpless."

"What do you think, if Sir Martha's son comes to power, then the viscount will be the uncle of the new grand duke. It's still a real uncle. It's really hard to say who will have the final say in Southwest."

"That's true. If you want me, I will fight for it. The Grand Duke's back sores are getting worse and worse. I'm afraid he won't be alive for a few years."

"But there is also the Earl of Manfield. It is not certain who will win at that time."

......

"General, why don't you refute that viscount? You are a hereditary viscount, but he is not. In terms of title, you are much higher than him. He is a fart. If it was before, he should call you an adult." General Derek's personal soldiers said in an aggrieved way.

"It's hard to live under the fence." General Derek said with a casual smile while riding on the horse.

"We have less than 2000 people now, what can we do? If that guy labels us a peasant gangster, we will have no reason to be executed." General Derek explained calmly.

"Then his tactics are too stupid. Now that the muskets are sharp, can he defend the city according to the tactics decades ago? Are we fighting the revolutionary army more or they are fighting the revolutionary army more? He doesn't understand anything , but he took himself seriously." The soldier continued to say angrily.

"This battle is not easy to fight." General Derek shook his head and said.

"Peasants are good at manipulating people's hearts. People in the plateau area will never help James with sincerity. Moreover, their army is brave and good at fighting, which is not comparable to ordinary troops. Although the plan I appointed is a bit dangerous, it is necessary to fight the peasants. Fight, if you don't fight like this, you will be led by the nose by the peasant bandits. Not to mention that you will definitely fail, but you will definitely be beaten with bruises and swollen faces. We have verified this in Zhongnan, and there is nothing to say." Derek said the general.

"It's true that I'm a little selfish. I want to make meritorious deeds and lay a foundation without relying on others. But since they don't want to, we just do what they want. Anyway, we don't feel sorry for them. Those who died are all soldiers from the southwest. What about us?" General Derek said with a smile again.

"Then us?..." The soldier made a gesture to hint.

"Defend the city with all your strength first, and wait until it really fails."

"If it really doesn't work, we will immediately evacuate to the north and join His Highness the Brave. However, there is no need to be so worried. I have seen all the methods of peasant bandits, and we can still deal with them. As long as the viscount is willing to listen to my ideas Carry out a big purge on the plateau, hum, not many people will dare to help the peasant bandits."

327 Golden Mountain Offensive

"One two, one two, one two one..."

"All, look to the right!"

"The third team is out, today I will take you to patrol the road..."

The sound of chant one after another sounded in the military camp, pushing the atmosphere of the military camp to the extreme.The Battle of Golden Mountain was imminent. The two sides had a total of nearly 3 soldiers stationed in the three narrow mountains, and there were countless logistics troops and other second-line troops responsible for all aspects.Large-scale troop mobilization is in front of this narrow mountain range, and endless logistics support their battles.

Just judging from the required supplies of the 6 main combat troops on both sides, the troops in charge of logistics may have at least [-] to [-] more troops. It is higher than this number.Fighting in the mountains and forests is an extreme test of the logistics force. If the logistics cannot stably transport supplies to the front line, then the front line is capable of fighting well, and I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Because of this crucial logistics, the movement forces of both sides focused their attention on the opponent's logistics supply line.The Southwest Army plans to take advantage of the familiar terrain to raid the revolutionary army's transport team through the mountains, and the revolutionary army is also planning to draw up the local map and terrain as soon as possible, so as to find a way to destroy the opponent's supply route and make the opponent fall into the fort. , a situation without food and grass.

"Is everyone here?" A comrade platoon leader strode over and asked the deputy platoon leader.

"It's all here. A total of 37 fighters in the third, second and second platoons are all here." The deputy platoon leader said with a salute.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The platoon leader shook hands with the deputy platoon leader and said.

"Comrades, our war to liberate the Southwest has finally begun. We first liberated the whole of Central South, and now we will liberate the Southwest, and rescue the suffering compatriots from suffering. Later, we will liberate the West, that way We can support the comrades in Roportia." The platoon leader said seriously.

"Right now, we are fighting on the front line of the Golden Mountain. The Golden Mountain is extremely dangerous, and the enemy has built a large number of fortresses as guards. The comrades on the front line cannot move an inch. Our battle is destined to be difficult, whether it is charging on the front line or as a There is no safe combat job for mobile troops to support or guard the road. If some comrades feel that the task is too difficult, they don’t have to go.” The platoon leader continued.

"Comrade Flatt, you are too contemptuous of people when you say this. Before the fight, we arranged to submit letters of invitation one after another. Why do you think that some comrades will back down!" A soldier laughed. shouted.

"Comrade Flat, didn't you fight the battle of Mount Omen? Why, as long as you suffer, we can't suffer?" Another comrade also joked.

"I am happy to see that the comrades are very energetic." Platoon Leader Flat said with a smile and a very happy look.

"I have now received a notice from the battalion. The battalion has decided that my [-]nd infantry platoon will immediately prepare for the task of escorting the food road. We will escort the supplies to the front for the use of the comrades in front. There are three more people who will go with us. Platoon one and three, comrades, do you have the confidence to do these tasks?!"

"Yes!" The comrades stood at attention and shouted in unison.

"Aren't we going to the front to fight, or to escort food?" A little soldier asked with an embarrassed expression.

"What is this saying? It is important to fight on the front line, but it is not important for us to escort the food? The comrades in the front are hungry and have no food to eat. They can fight? If everyone wants to go to the front line, I think they will be hungry within half a month. Broken." The deputy platoon commander criticized.

"It's good to want to go to the front line." The platoon leader pressed the deputy platoon leader's hand and said gently.

"Comrades, I know that everyone is looking forward to going to the front line and fighting the imperial devils head-on. Instead of guarding the roads to transport food, or patrolling and checking the situation. I feel the same as everyone, and I also hope that The battalion headquarters sent us to the front line to fight with those imperial devils with real knives and guns. I hate them no less than comrades. My little sister was raped to death by the imperial devils in Zhongnan. I desire to be with them more than anyone else. Let's fight and kill this group of beasts!" The platoon leader took off his military cap and said with a mature and determined face of a middle-aged man.

"However, someone has to deliver food and ammunition, and someone has to patrol to guard against the devils. Some comrades can't even come to the front line, and can only guard or defend the north. Every comrade has his own important responsibilities. In terms of responsibilities, he must There are people, and both are indispensable. As the deputy platoon leader said, if everyone wants to go to the front line, don’t they have to prepare their own dry food and cook by themselves?” Flat said with a smile again.

"Comrades, can you understand the organization's decision, and can you complete the task of escorting food and ammunition?" Flatt then asked seriously.

"Resolutely complete the task!" The comrades immediately shouted seriously.

'Let's go, we have to go to the back camp to pick up the transport team, and then move forward.Comrades immediately get ready, bring weapons and ammunition, and prepare to move forward. '

......

"I heard that the fighting was fierce. I don't know if this is true?"

"What are you thinking about? This is the Golden Mountain. I heard that there are many castles here. With the madness of the devils, they will probably try their best to fight our revolutionary army. The sacrifice ahead is probably not small. , I just hope that my son is not in it, he is in the second army, but I don't know where he is assigned."

"I don't have an idea. My son should go to the front and go to the battlefield. You gave us the land and let us stand up straight. If I wasn't old, I would go to the front to fight and kill those imperial devils. Get rid of them one by one. We have nothing to repay for treating us like that, but there is no ambiguity about the war."

"Ham, I'm not afraid. If I'm afraid I can come to deliver food and ammunition? My son hasn't married yet, so he should be more careful anyway."

"Comrade Alyosha, how far is it? How far do we have to go?" one of the peasants raised his head and asked.

"It's not far away. I guess the comrades in front have come to pick them up. We will go to the camp to rest for a while, have lunch, and then go to the front line." The soldier comrade looked at the road ahead and turned back shouted.

"I can vaguely hear the sound of guns and guns." The comrade also smiled and said to the soldier comrades in front.

"The fight started seven or eight days ago, and the fight was very fierce. The devil is very tenacious, and the comrades on the front line fought very hard." The soldier comrade said with a sigh.

"How did you fight? We have guns and cannons, but we can't beat those imperial devils?" the comrade asked very curiously.

"Stupid, we have guns and cannons, but the emperor doesn't have them? They also have castles, so it's hard to fight."

"Yes, the enemy's castle has caused us a lot of trouble." Comrade Soldier nodded.

"I heard that the comrades on the front line are almost fighting for one fortress after another. Even if you take a fortress, you have to pay a high price. Those fortresses are extremely strong, and even bombardment is too slow. Comrades We can only attack close by. When I went to the front to deliver ammunition that day, I saw that many comrades were transported down, and it is estimated that there are not a few who died."

"Oh, that's really worrying." The fellow farmer put his hands together and looked ahead worriedly, thinking about his son in his heart.

"But there is nothing to be afraid of. I have also picked up many comrades who have retreated from the front line to rest. They are very excited and will be very happy to tell me how to fight the battle. I reckon that the situation on the front line is still relatively optimistic. Yes, although the enemy is blocking the attack, the towers have been captured one by one."

"That's great, I said comrade, you don't know. My son is in the army, and I don't know whether he went to the front line or logistics. I am very worried about him." The peasant comrade forced a smile and took a picture. Said with chest.

"Poor parents in the world." Comrade soldier said with a very understanding smile as he walked with his hands behind his back.

"My parents also miss me from time to time. He often writes to me and asks me about my recent situation. He asks me if I have eaten well recently, how my life is like recently, whether the war is tense, and what is lacking on the front line. He can send it."

"Then how did you answer?" asked the farmer comrade.

"I just said that everything is fine on the front line, and the comrades are eating well and resting well. It's just that the war is tense, and I can't reply to them in time, and I can't visit them." The soldier comrade said with a smile.

"I have already written a letter of invitation to the organization. If the organization agrees, I will not be here next month, but go to the front line. If you come again at that time, it will not be me who leads the way, but other comrades. .”

"It's a good thing to serve the country. I wish you a smooth journey, comrade, and kill a few more devils."

"Yes, kill a few more devils." Comrade Soldier also nodded.

......

Another shell landed on the ground, and the shell hit the castle tower and exploded, causing thick black smoke to rise in the area.Silence was restored on this hillside, only the faint wailing sound in the black smoke, which could let the comrades of the revolutionary army know that the imperial devil inside was not completely dead.Captain Luo En chewed the black bread in his mouth again, got up a little and looked forward.It has been a week since they attacked this hillside, and the smoking fortress at the front was their only "trophy" this week. In one week, they captured a fortress. On the army, it will probably make people laugh, right?

But the fact is that the hillside is rugged, which is not conducive to the deployment of soldiers.Luo En led a regiment to attack this area, but they could only invest a few hundred troops on each hillside, and the rest of the large army could only watch at the foot of the hill.In a week, more than ten comrades died on this hillside, and more than 20 soldiers were injured. To achieve this loss ratio, it is better to be cautious in tactics. When it is found that it is difficult to break through the first attack, it starts to find another way to add artillery support. did it.The Golden Mountain Range is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This sentence is really true.

328 Victory Belongs to the Revolutionary Army

"Damn it, just like this, the fortress is not completely rotten, and there is still half of it that won't collapse." Comrade Luo En couldn't help but see that the fortress in front of him was damaged and hadn't collapsed completely. Cursing loudly, the two companies on the hillside were unable to move even a single step blocked by the three castle towers.Today's achievement is the biggest. They bombarded a fortress and almost lost its combat effectiveness, which can be called the biggest progress of this week.

The two companies started their offensive a week ago, and the two company commanders organized the offensive to start a large-scale charge on the hillside.It's a pity that the first big charge suffered serious setbacks. Although the revolutionary army's muskets were more elite, they fired faster and farther, and fired 80 meters ahead of the enemy.But the enemy was protected by a fortress. Although the shooting was slow and close, when the revolutionary army entered the range, it was quickly traumatized.Many comrades were hit by bullets, and the local revolutionary army began to be injured 100 meters away from the fort. Casualties occurred.

The two company commanders who noticed that the form was wrong quickly withdrew from the company to adjust their offensive tactics and prepare for the second wave of offensive.In the second wave of offensive, the troops still returned without success, unable to break through the mutual support of the three fortresses, and it was extremely impossible to break into within 30 meters.

After receiving the report from the company headquarters, Luo En immediately decided to dispatch artillery units to attack. The artillery units arrived at the front line after two days of trekking, and officially started the attack today under the cover of the company headquarters.The only loot right now was only achieved with the support of the artillery company.

"Order the artillery unit to prepare for the second wave of shelling. One of the fortresses must be destroyed to ensure that the enemy's defense line becomes damaged." Comrade Luo En ordered the company commander beside him.

"Yes!" The company commander immediately saluted energetically and crawled back.

"A group of tortoise eggs, if you don't pull out all the three fortresses, there is no way to fight." Luo En picked up the binoculars and watched with gritted teeth.

"Comrade Luo En, I am willing to organize the soldiers to charge again. As long as we can get close to them, we can put down explosives under their fortress, and we can use the fuse to detonate them! As long as the fortress is destroyed If it is blown up, the other enemies ambushing around will have to retreat, and then our army will be able to attack to a greater extent." A platoon leader also crawled over and shouted, staring.

"Nonsense, you are betting the lives of the soldiers!" Luo En scolded angrily.

"You can get close if you say close? Then you said lightly, why didn't the comrades in other places succeed in conquering the hillside with this method? There will be a lot of sacrifices in this way. We are not an old army. The lives of soldiers are bigger than Kunqi The mountain is even heavier." Luo En criticized.

"Then what should we do? Just watch them consume us here? Comrade Luo En, do we have to wait for the support of the grenadiers and the artillery to get supplies before we can fight? Our revolutionary army doesn't eat for free , we have the courage to charge and fight the enemy to the death!"

"Courage is not recklessness, Comrade Harris, you, the platoon leader, are responsible for the soldiers in your platoon." Luo En did not continue to criticize, but calmly retorted.

"Hey!" Harris platoon leader took off his small military cap forcefully and sighed angrily.

"The soldiers are all holding back their fire, and they all want to charge and knock down these fortresses." Platoon Leader Harris said helplessly.

"Commrades, once you came, the comrades couldn't bear it anymore. Everyone watched the enemies on the fortress shoot at us from time to time. Our muskets were better than theirs, but they couldn't help them. Who can stand it," Comrade Harris continued.

"That has to be patient! Wait for the battle plan!" Luo En said with a glare at Harris.

"You boy, fighting is not based on your will. Otherwise, I would have died in Kunqi Mountain. Fighting is a very important thing. Once defeated, the country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. Wasn't that comrade raised by his parents? That comrade didn’t love their parents? If we can avoid sacrifices, we must avoid sacrifices. Of course, we will not be confused in the war. We are not afraid to crawl here, but not to make fearless sacrifices.” Luo En said solemnly Said.

"I'm willing to take the lead. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm willing to put the explosive barrels." Comrade Harris sighed again.

"Wait for the comrades in the artillery company to shell another round, we will try to launch a charge. Our goal in this charge is to clear the enemy near the No. 40 Fortress that was shelled, force the enemy to shrink back, and let our troops We can advance. We want to advance the front line, about [-] meters away from the No. [-] Fortress, and closer to the No. [-] and [-] Fortresses." Comrade Luo En ordered.

"Okay, I'll organize the troops and prepare to charge." Comrade Harris immediately rushed back excitedly and said.

"Comrade Luo En, even if the artillery company shells another round, I'm afraid it won't have much effect. These fortresses are extremely strong, and the seven cannons of the artillery company can hardly achieve effective results. We throw away the shells that missed , I don’t know how many times the remaining hit shells have to hit to destroy the fort. My suggestion is to charge at night and place explosive barrels near the enemy’s fort. As long as one of the second and third forts If we lose half of our combat effectiveness, the battle on our hillside will basically be over." The company commander suggested.

"Tonight, the enemy will be replenishing manpower to support the battle." Luo En raised his head and waited and watched the situation of the second and third enemy towers and said calmly.

"And they will also step up to repair the fort at night. If we can't make a favorable situation as soon as possible during the day, we will be driven back soon at night. Not only that, once Fort No. [-] falls into the enemy's hands again by then, We have to start from scratch again." Luo En continued.

"Regimental Commander, the artillery company is ready, they are ready to fire, just waiting for the order!" Comrade Harris crawled back into the trench and said excitedly.

"Blow the charge and get ready to attack!" Lon said, pulling out his short musket.

......

"It's an order from Comrade Head."

The commander of the artillery company put down his binoculars and signaled to the artillerymen behind him to prepare for shelling. He was fat and looked very 'rich', but he also looked very bloated and stupid.But the artillery comrades who are familiar with the company commander know that the company commander is a veteran of many battles. From the Battle of Emen Pass to the later Battle of Kunqi Mountain and the liberation of Zhongnan, which one did not participate?It would be a big mistake to judge people by their appearance. The company commander's combat level is extremely high, and the comrades in the entire artillery company can refuse to obey anyone, even the company commander.

"Company, get ready! The seventh artillery is aimed at the No. [-] and No. [-] castles in a three-to-four ratio, and prepares to bombard!" The artillery company commander drew out his command knife and shouted.

The comrades immediately got busy, responsible for the loading and final calibration, and when the company commander lowered his command knife again, the seven large artillery pieces started shelling one by one.Explosive bombs that had already been widely deployed rushed towards the No. [-] and No. [-] towers. Several bombs exploded on the ground, and a few hit the towers, causing the entire hillside to be filled with heavy shattering sounds.

The three small cannons also started shelling immediately. Their positions were closer to the front because of the shelling distance, and they were shelling in the main camp of the company headquarters.Their goal was not the fortress, but the inaccessible fortifications piled up near the fortress.These simple fortifications of earth and stone piles also support each other with the fortress, and they are also targets that need to be attacked.The small cannons fired smaller shells, aiming at the blind spots seen from the foot of the mountain.There are often enemy fortifications in such places, and it is easy to cause large-scale casualties of comrades by using blind spots of sight.

Boom, boom, boom.Boom, boom.The shells exploded one by one, causing countless black smoke on the hillside.The trumpeter in charge of blowing the charge saw the end of the shelling, and immediately jumped out of the ditch, picked up his trumpet and blew the charge.That was the sound of the trumpet that once frightened the imperial devils in Central South. Once the rhythmic charge horn was blown, it meant that the revolutionary army would charge in a neat and orderly manner without fear of death.When the charge horn sounded, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army would rush towards the enemy with bayonets and muskets in an overwhelming posture. It has been nearly two years since the appearance of line tactics, but it is true that large troops can charge in such a neat way. , probably only the revolutionary army soldiers in the Central South.

"Comrades, go! Drive the imperial devils out of the southwest!" Harris platoon leader raised his saber and shouted excitedly.

The comrades of the revolutionary army first stepped out of the trench, and then began to advance towards the hillside in a strict manner like a human wall.The revolutionary army opened fire with better muskets first, and then the imperial devils fought back under the chaos.Many surviving devils were still putting all their eggs in one basket near Fort No. [-], shooting each other with the revolutionary army.The three small cannons opened fire again, blowing up the No. [-] Fortress, which had been bombed to a similar extent, and made it even more difficult to defend.Several of the devils near the No. [-] Fortress were also killed, and the rest saw that the revolutionary army was approaching, and they already had the idea of ​​retreating.

"Hold on, hold on! Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess!" The officer of the Huangguizi was still dying to shout, asking the soldiers to hold on and not to make a mess, waiting for the soldiers on the [-]nd and [-]rd to come to support them.But when the smoke gradually cleared and the soldiers saw that the revolutionary soldiers were advancing in an extremely oppressive posture, they really had no intention of holding on.Such a well-organized army, whoever likes to fight, they will not take the place of the dead anyway.

I don't know who threw down their weapons first and fled. Other soldiers from Fort No. [-] also dropped their weapons and rushed to Fort No. [-] and No. [-] like headless chickens, hoping to gain a chance.The soldiers in the No. [-] and [-] Fortresses couldn't help slowing down the muskets in their hands when they saw the dozen or so soldiers fleeing over. They fired at their teammates, which is not something ordinary soldiers would do.

"Ula!"

The platoon leader Harris raised his short gun and rushed out in big strides. Seeing the enemy fleeing, the other soldiers also charged with the big striding man, raising his bayonet.Amidst the shouts of the charge and the mountains and seas, the devils were terrified, and the No. [-] and No. [-] castles were also on the verge of being breached. This hillside, which had been sawed for more than a week, was about to be liberated.

329 Mountains and Gullies

While the revolutionary army pushed up from the trenches at the foot of the mountain, the enemy troops on the hillside were still busy trying to save themselves.They are either trying their best to extinguish the flames on the fortress, or they are looking for friendly troops around them with their eyes wide open.The remnants of Fort No. [-] are desperately organizing troops to stop the revolutionary army, the soldiers of Fort No. [-] are saving the fort, and the soldiers of Fort No. [-] are waiting for the officer to quickly issue an order to retreat to another place. A hill to go.

The charge horn blew, and the revolutionary army strode forward in a line posture until it was close to the No. [-] castle. At this time, the revolutionary army finally entered the range of the enemy army, and finally got in touch with the cunning army. the enemy.With the change of the charge, the more than [-] soldiers in the whole company immediately began to disperse in squads.They formed a group of seven or eight people and spread out three major attack directions to start a quick charge, and split up to start the final close combat.

The soldiers in the middle direction soon encountered the enemy army in Fort No. [-]. The imperial devil officer was still struggling to command the remaining [-] or [-] soldiers to stop the revolutionary army while waving his saber.But the collapse of the remaining walls of the fort crushed the soldiers' last thoughts of resistance. It is not known who first realized that the second fort had been shelled, and then took the lead in fleeing back.The other soldiers also heard the wind and fled back together. This is not called running away, but it is called returning to the No. [-] Fortress to support the defense, and it is implementing the combat plan.

The friendly soldiers in the No. [-] Fortress couldn't help but panic when they saw the soldiers in the No. [-] Fortress "retreating". It is absolutely impossible.The same is true for firing at the enemy regardless of the retreat of the friendly army. If you can repel the attack of the revolutionary army this time, the surviving friendly army will hate you so much that they will not give you a little work at night.
