Age of Conquest Reborn

When the Bloody Hand Regiment raised troops from the northeast, he followed Tang Qiuli's side. Zheng Yong was the first artillery battalion captain when artillery first came into existence. At that time, the assets were very few. Mortars were the main force and could capture

I was very happy to see several Type 92 infantry artillery pieces of the Kwantung Army. Zheng Yong, who was born in a major, had a deep understanding of the power of artillery on the battlefield.

Moreover, he always kept in mind the words of his division commander Tang Qiuli, "If a battle can be solved with artillery shells, you must not use guns. If a battle can be solved with guns, you must not let soldiers fight with bayonets." Therefore,

, Zheng Yong's theory for commanding artillery operations is one, "Don't be stingy with artillery shells, use the most violent artillery fire to kill the enemy's effective force as much as possible!"

Tang Qiuli still clearly remembered that when Zheng Yong came up with this plan, he had a murderous look on his face. Now it seems that Zheng Yong's goal has been achieved. In more than forty minutes, the British and Indian soldiers were defeated without mercy.

There is nowhere to hide, and he is always within the range of artillery fire. Moreover, he has a heavyweight killer that has not appeared yet, Tang Qiuli thought with a smile.

Ten minutes later, a storm-like scream suddenly sounded outside the shelter. From the sound, Tang Qiuli knew that it was rocket artillery launching a second round of attacks on the already overwhelmed British and Indian troops. He

Rushing out of the shelter in a few steps, the entire regiment fired a salvo of rocket artillery. This kind of scene is not something you can see often.

Not a single shell fell in the area near the shelter. Shan Hu felt relieved and no longer restricted Tang Qiuli's actions. He watched the division commander go out to observe the battle. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and a large group of idle staff officers

The correspondents all rushed out of the headquarters with a whoop and ran outside to see the shelling scene.

Under the already setting sun, above their heads, rows of rocket shells trailing long tail flames screamed across the sky. Like meteors, they fell on the smoke-filled battlefield. This time, the rocket shells rose up.

.It was no longer just clusters of smoke pillars, but flames steaming everywhere. On a front line that was more than ten kilometers wide and more than thirty kilometers long, there were bursts of flames everywhere.

If you look down from the air, Meskai Ridge looks like it has been cut into two parts by a churning fire dragon. In the sea of ​​​​fire, there are figures of British and Indian soldiers screaming and wailing, running and rolling around, burning like torches

The tanks and trucks, the exploding artillery shells, "bang", exploded into flames flying all over the sky.

Zheng Yong's rocket artillery, a fatal blow, is nothing more than adding insult to injury to the British and Indian soldiers. It is a reminder of death. When ordinary artillery shells attack, they can still beg God. Use the crater to avoid the flying shrapnel.

However, the density of rockets was beyond the imagination of the British and Indian soldiers. When a row of rockets fell, a sea of ​​​​fire rose up. There was no living thing in the sea of ​​​​fire, only charred soil and cracked rocks.

Three rocket artillery regiments. In addition to the twelve rocket artillery battalions attached to each brigade, each battalion is equipped with twenty-four thirty-two-barreled "Thunder" rocket launchers. One salvo fire is 16,700 rounds, which is more than the US-made 155 mm.

Howitzer shells were more than twice as powerful as rockets. They were lined up on one side of the ambush position, covering the entire ambush circle, creating a hell on earth for the British and Indian soldiers in the ambush circle.

Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade, held a telescope and lay on the lookout hole in the shelter to observe the situation of his brigade's ambush position. When he saw the overwhelming rockets coming from the sky, a sea of ​​​​fire exploded, hugging the thick tree.

, like a huge candle, burning with flames, crashing to the ground, the shelling area was shrouded in flames, and the situation could not be seen clearly.

Liu Hongzhang threw the telescope on the shell box, sat down on the canvas marching chair in frustration, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said sourly to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Jin Changhe: "Zheng Yong is too greedy.

If he continues to fight like this, what else will we be able to catch after the bombardment is over? Not even picking up rags. He is enjoying himself and doesn't want to think about the big guys."

"This fight has been going on for more than 40 minutes. Even the rocket launchers have been used. He can do it. Why did he use our twelve brigades of infantry to lie in ambush in Meisikailing for several days? He Zheng Yong's artillery

, can you eat more than 200,000 British and Indian soldiers at once? At least leave some for our infantry, no, I have to talk to the division commander!

Jin Changhe said with a smile: "Brigadier Commander, you must be mentally prepared and be prepared to be punished by the division commander. This ambush battle is mainly based on artillery. What about others? Have you thought about it when the battle begins?

Did you give way to other brigades? No! It wasn't you and Brigadier Chu who made the most noise during that mission. When the chiefs of staff of each of our brigades chatted privately, they complained to me a lot."

Liu Hongzhang's eyes widened and he said: "That's right, in a war, who doesn't want to kill more enemies, especially when fighting against the Japs? They are afraid that they will take advantage of the task that the young man took so much effort to seize.

Can you let others? If they have the ability, they will compete with the teacher! If you can't compete, then stop nagging behind your back!"

After saying that, he looked at Jin Changhe as if he had woken up, and said with a smile: "You kid, set a trap for me to get in. Don't tell me, I really don't dare to argue with the teacher. I'm just worried. There are more than 10,000 people."

, What’s the matter with being idle? The British are too, they are so fucking cowardly, but they should organize a counterattack and seize the artillery positions, so we can also have sex!”

Jin Changhe was overjoyed and said: "Brigadier, you are standing and talking without pain in your back. Our artillery shelled so fiercely that the impact of the shells was like eyes. There was no blind spot for the shelling. The British and Indian troops

The troops and structures have all been disrupted, and even the most basic assembly can't be done. How can we fight back?"

Liu Hongzhang nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, don't talk about these young masters and lambs who have never seen blood. Even if our brigade encounters such a bombardment, if we don't lose more than half of our people, we can't even think of organizing an effective counterattack!"

Hey, just wait! Zheng Yong’s cannonballs will eventually be finished!"

Just as Jin Changhe, the chief of staff of the 1st Brigade, judged, the structure of the British and Indian troops had been completely disrupted by the sudden shelling. Two rounds of shelling covered the entire march area. First, there were shells everywhere, and then there was an explosion.

A large swath of rockets set the woods on fire, the ground rolled, and there were howling and falling shells everywhere.

The various units of the British and Indian Army, as well as the divisions and subordinate regiments, completely lost contact. The British and Indian Army soldiers who were bombed by artillery shells and rockets and had nowhere to hide instinctively dug into the woods on both sides.

Before they could get very far, a group of artillery shells flew towards them, as if they had eyes, exploding into a wall of deathly fire in front of them, blocking the road.

Burning everywhere, there were roaring, irregularly flying shrapnel, sharp metal shrapnel, cutting the air, penetrating into the bodies of British and Indian soldiers, blood spattered, shells fell into the crowd, and limbs were left.

The broken arm flew across, followed by rockets and thousands of degrees of heat, turning the outstanding descendants of the British Empire into ashes, together with the Indian soldiers they looked down upon.

In this death zone, the life of a major general and division commander is no more valuable than the life of a private. When the artillery shells fall, the officer's body still becomes a pile of minced meat. When Zheng Yong's artillery launched the first round of strikes, many British and Indian soldiers

The military command organization was killed, and their bodies, together with the military jeep, became fragmented parts with a puff of black smoke and a loud noise!

In contrast, Major General Fisher, the commander of the 1st Division of the British-Indian Army who served as the commander of the vanguard, was definitely one of the lucky ones blessed by God. Through a combination of mistakes and errors, he escaped the disaster.

The First Division and the Third Division charged side by side at the front of the Central Army, and the commander of the First Division, Major General Fisher, led the division's leading regiment, and under the cover of a battalion of tanks, rushed at the front of the entire army.

Major General Hopkins, commander of the Third Division, after hearing the news, curled his lips in disapproval and muttered in his heart: "This pushy guy has a bit of knight's blood in his bones. He is starting to have a fever. How old is he?

, and he still plays like a knight. As the commander of a modern army, his command position should be where he can coordinate and command the troops, rather than serving as the captain of the vanguard!"

The two men, who are both commanders of the main division of the British Army in India, do not have a harmonious personal relationship. They often do little things behind each other's backs and step on dog paws.

Coming from a family that always felt that his bloodline was noble, Major General Fisher, who showed off his aristocratic air from time to time, was very cold-blooded and wished he could fall into a trap and be embarrassed.

Commander Fisher, you are really that interesting. After a single artillery shell leveled Xindu and felt like burying Chinese soldiers, Major General Fisher was indeed full of confidence and set out from Ramgarh in East India. Except for

Except for every battle in Xiduo, the First Division was always at the forefront. The troops suffered little losses and their results were defeated again and again!

Major General Fisher concluded that the British Empire's army was well-equipped and its soldiers were well-trained. The equipment level of the Chinese corps was low and the soldiers were not strong in combat effectiveness. Otherwise, they would not have been driven hundreds of kilometers by themselves, and it would have been like entering without anyone.

As for what Commander Alexander was worried about, what happened to the Chinese Tang Qiuli's main force? He had never fought against him and had no idea. Anyway, in the major general's mind, the Chinese soldiers were all about the same.

Think about it, he was the first general who was at the forefront when the British Empire's troops returned to Indochina, and he was also the first when they came to Magao City. Even Commander Alexander was left behind.

A feeling of contentment and very comfortable.

Division Commander Fisher, with his vanguard regiment and more than 40 tanks, rushed through the Meskai Ridge. In front of him, under the setting sun, was a flat land with undulating hills and clumps of shrubs.

In the wilderness, the field of vision suddenly broadens, making people feel relaxed and happy.

After bypassing a small patch of woods, the military jeep rushed up a low hill, with Meskai Ridge already behind it. Division Commander Fisher suddenly said to the driver: "Stop!"
