Chapter 160 The Battle of Hao City

Clichy's original plan was to move quickly and then lure this light cavalry out.

At the same time, keep a distance to ensure a safe rescue time.

As a result, the battalion commander unexpectedly entered Yu Li, causing a disconnect.

When Chrissy heard the news, his head split open.

60 kilometers, how can we rescue? You must know that almost all the trucks have been delivered to the Second Battalion. Even if they run, Chrissy will have to run for two days.

Make it more difficult for yourself.

At this point, Krissy could no longer rush in. On the one hand, he gathered the entire 113th Regiment, concentrated the following three battalions, and deployed the artillery battalion.

Attach half of the trucks to the artillery battalion and load all supplies onto the trucks.

The three battalions advanced flatly to ensure that they would not be taken back.

The crippled Second Battalion stayed behind in Huicheng, waiting for the 114th Regiment to come to respond.

After arranging all this, Chrissy personally went into battle, loaded the headquarters onto the truck, and headed south in a mighty way.

The fleet is huge and there are many people.

The speed of travel is not slow, and it is estimated that it will take two days to reach Mengcheng.

This time he dared to advance quickly, mainly because of the strength of the people. Chrissy believed that every ten thousand people on the opposite side could not bite him.

This is not nonsense that Krissy said. From the Battle of Hequ and the Battle of Yuli, the enemy's victory was accomplished only after encirclement and suppression with more than 6 times the military strength in both contacts.

Although both times they failed to eliminate the Youzhou Army's organic formation, they both managed to injure the Youzhou Army.

The enemy is not weak, on the contrary, it is very strong.

Just when Chrissy regrouped and headed south, Zilan also received news that all enemy troops were heading south.

Facing an army of nearly two thousand people, Zilan had no confidence at all.

Yuanye and the Northern Army joined forces in Haocheng and built a large number of fortifications in the hilly areas of Haocheng in preparation for luring the enemy into a decisive battle.

Yuanye has a large army of nearly 5,000 people.

To talk about this modern cavalry from the north, we have to start with the raid war in Youzhou.

After the initial raid on Youzhou Industrial Zone, a cavalry force of 500 people evacuated Youzhou's arsenal.

Nearly 2,000 firearms fell into the hands of this group of people. When Cheng Li saw this batch of weapons, he immediately ordered a team of people to transport these things away.

In order to transport this batch of weapons, even all the spare horses were allocated to this group of people.

Since they left at night, basically no one noticed the decrease in the number of people.

So much so that later, in the report from Youzhou, one thought there were no such 500 cavalry.

This group of cavalry, leading 1,500 horses, migrated from the southern edge of the plateau over the high mountains to the northwest.

Without supplies, the cavalry relied on robbing plateau herdsmen and lasted for two months before completing its strategic shift.

Along the way, the army was plagued by death, disease and hunger. But fortunately, relying on its strong will, the army did not collapse and made it all the way to the end.

This journey was not an easy one. Although the straight-line distance was only two hundred kilometers, the mountains were complex and the cavalry had lost its way, so the cavalry had to cover at least twice the distance.

By the time it was completed, there were less than 400 cavalrymen left out of the 500, but there was almost no loss in the capture.

However, it was already late November and early December.

The news that the Dongyi Army's cavalry had not been completely wiped out finally reached Zilan's Chinese army's tent.

Zilan's expression when she received the message was richer than the emoticons on your phone.

His first reaction was fake, but the seal of the Dongyi Army in his hand was real. The tiger general couldn't help but sigh that he had become the pillar of his kingdom.

Zilan did not make the news public, but ordered that the captured troops be transferred to appropriate numbers and fields, and the Dongyi cavalry be rebuilt.

This process took nearly a month before the two armies were ready.

After replacing the sword with the cannon, Zi Lan gave instructions to let the two armies experiment on the Youzhou Army.

After receiving the news, Yuanye dispatched a small force to conduct an experimental beating.

Only then did Yu Li's transport vehicle incident occur. This was the so-called light infantry discovered by the Youzhou Army.

However, Chrissy didn't pay much attention at that time. In fact, it's not his fault that Chrissy was careless. He really didn't expect that this thing came from Youzhou.

In Krissy's opinion, these infantrymen may have been obtained by killing people in the Hequ Industrial Zone. Krishy judged from this that the enemies in Tianzhen may have moved to the southeast.

Later, Krissy's tactics of luring the enemy were also proposed based on this.

So later there was the Second Battalion Incident in which Yu Li was annihilated.

However, there was one problem that Chrissy simply couldn't figure out. With so many Y2 reconnaissance planes scanning the area around Yuli, why they didn't find this enemy.

What he didn't expect was that the wilderness was always open day and night, no roads were used, and there were dedicated people to clean up the traces. It would be difficult for the Y2 reconnaissance plane to detect this disguised army.

Besides, after Krissy arrived in Yuli, he learned that an army of 5,000 people had entered Haocheng. Krissy looked at the map and was a little speechless.

Haocheng is different from Mengcheng. This place is mostly hilly. Although it is not very steep, it restricts the army.

Haocheng is not far from Yuli, only 40 kilometers, a little southeast of Mengcheng.

If Chrissy wants to invade Chaoge, then the army in the direction of Haocheng must not be ignored.

Because the distance from Haocheng to Mengcheng is less than 20 miles, as long as the enemy is willing, they can cut off the retreat in minutes. Krissy would not be afraid in the past.

Now, he feels a little guilty.

Chrissy threw the map in the swaying car and fell into deep thought while looking at the terrain map.

Pickaxe City must be captured, but Chrissy feels a little foreboding.

Three days before the New Year, three infantry battalions of Krissy deployed along the 341, 346 and 543 heights with Luoshui on their backs.

As long as these three gaps are opened, you can directly enter the Hao City surrounded by the enemy.

In order to ensure the safety of the artillery camp, Clichy placed the artillery camp on the west bank of Luoshui.

The wind was very cold that day. Chrissy held a telescope in his hand and felt troubled while looking at the ravines on the mountain.

The ravine is extremely deep, and from a distance you can only see the tops of the heads of the Youzhou Army, and it is also very narrow.

Huhu~

The wind blows.

Chrissy tightened the cotton coat around him and took a long breath of steam.

"Prepare artillery fire."

Regardless of anything else, let’s vent the fire first.

The artillery battalion in the west greeted us from the top of the hill of Position 346 15 minutes later.

One ammunition base dropped, and the position was blown up and down.

However, the number of casualties was not high. The main reason was that the enemy hid in the anti-gun caves as soon as the artillery fire was fired. The artillery bombardment had no effect at all.

The artillery fire set off a terrifying barrage in front of the position, and the roaring shells whizzed past Chrissy's head, making a sharp sound.

"Bang!"

Mud splashed and sawdust flew in the air, flying several meters high.

"Bang!"

When such a large grenade hit the position, even the rocks were blown into powder.

Chrissy picked up the telescope and observed the situation on the position. Except for a few people who were blown away, he was basically left alone.

"Um?"

Very strange?

All the ditches had been plowed, but there were no merchant soldiers.

An ominous premonition became more and more obvious in Chrissy's mind.

The 10-minute artillery preparation was quickly completed, and the two battalions of infantry were ready to attack the position.

At this time, Chrissy was woken up by the adjutant beside him.

"The 1st Battalion rushed forward, and the 3rd Battalion suppressed the local positions from the flanks from the 341st line. Remember not to advance too fast to prevent the 341st enemy from pushing out."

Then the charge sounded, and all the infantry rushed towards the 346th position.

It went smoothly at first, and the 1st Battalion quickly climbed halfway up the mountain, with basically only sporadic gunfire.

Chrissy, who was at the foot of the mountain, felt his heart beating a little. It didn't feel like the rhythm of a war, but like an act.

Until the horns on the other side rang.

Those ravines immediately stretched out their heads, and rifles were fired down the mountain. Unexpectedly, several soldiers were shot in the head from this distance.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion immediately dispersed at the commander's request, looking for bunkers, or lying down, waiting for an opportunity to fight back.

However, the merchant army was in a condescending position and suddenly exerted force. For a time, the 1st Battalion was suppressed on the mountainside and found it difficult to move forward.

As for the 3rd Battalion on the 341st line, it was held back by 341 and was basically of no help to the 346 in the middle.

The Youzhou Army's shooting angle was very small, only at the enemy's head, while the Shang Army could aim unscrupulously in the ditch.

Soon after less than an hour of fighting, dozens of soldiers from the 1st Battalion were killed. Krissy knew through the telescope that the 1st Battalion could not fight.

"Alternate retreat," Chrissy waved his hand to indicate retreat.

"Artillery cover, raise barrage 150 meters away to prevent enemy counterattack."

A tentative attack ended hastily, and Chrissy put down the telescope in his hand.

"Bang!" A signal hit the sky.

A barrage was raised in front of the 1st Battalion, and the battalion slowly retreated, covering each other.

The 3rd battalion on the Leng line saw that the 1st battalion had already gone down, so naturally they did not fall behind and also retreated.

The enemy is very good at positional warfare, and this ravine was specially prepared to deal with Krissy.

"I think I probably understand the enemy's secret," Chrissy's lips curled up.

The probing attack was not without progress, at least Krissy saw some clues.

"Huh?" The adjutant was puzzled.

"Pa!" A snap of fingers.

"Let the aerial bombs deal with them!" Chrissy turned to the radio operator and said, "Send a radio to the bomber squadron in Hireng and pour explosives on Hill 341!"

Chrissy and Huo Shan have the same moral character. They both believe that there is nothing that cannot be solved by firepower. If it doesn't work, then double the firepower.

"Squadron?"

With the bombing capability of YC1, approximately 50 tons of bombs can be dropped in one bombing.

"Don't worry, the opponent won't collapse so easily," Krish began to draw on a piece of white paper, "because of this unique defensive position design."

"Huh?" The adjutant leaned over.

Krissy nodded and continued drawing.
