The Black Hawk Army Western Front Command 2,000 meters away.

"Bastard! You are a bucket, a shame to the Black Hawk Empire Army!" Gu Tian looked at the casualties report placed on the simple desk of the field, and cursed at a group of officers of the 13th Infantry Regiment standing in front of him.

Major General Gu Tian, ​​who was a military instructor from the Army University, was actually one of the few Confucian generals in the Black Hawk Army. He kept the king of Zhouhui and wore black-framed glasses, and he had a gentlemanly style. Even with the commander of the division, Ding Beiwei, he admired this brigade commander who was quite alternative in the Sixth Division and called him a very elegant imperial general.

However, even such a famous Confucian general who was a well-mannered professor, even used the words "sinceremonial" and "sinceremonial captains" led by an army colonel, and even used the words "sinceremonial" and "shaming of the Black Hawk Empire Army" due to the casualties of the frontline officers and soldiers. This shows the heavy casualties of the Black Hawk Army on the frontline.

The Kingdom defenders who have geographical benefits and have sufficient firepower all suffered more than 250 casualties, let alone the Black Hawk Army, which is in an offensive state.

On one side of Shouhuai City is the wilderness, and on the other three sides are surrounded by endless houses. In addition, it also has a small moat surrounded by an average width of more than 13 meters wide. Even if the Black Hawk Army can attack under the city wall, it still has to cross the moat to become a moat. It is definitely a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, Shouhuai City, which has extremely geographical advantages, is not too in the eyes of Gu Tian, ​​the major general of the army. In his opinion, no matter how strong the castle is, it must have enough firepower to guard it. He has three infantry brigades, more than 3,000 soldiers, 36 heavy machine guns, and more than 16 guns of various types. It would be a joke if he could not kill such a small castle.

Moreover, he had to capture this small castle. After close investigation, the castle was nearly 2,000 meters away from the main city of Huangsu City. If he wanted to attack the west gate of Huangsu City, he had to set up the front position in the area 500 meters in front of the west gate, but that was within the range of the heavy machine gun. The kingdom defenders hidden in Shouhuai City could completely strafuse the main position through heavy machine guns.

Although there are endless Kingdom houses as cover, no one wants to hide behind and stab the knife when attacking with all their might. Especially when they know that the Kingdom people also have 20mm machine guns that can knock the strong gunboats all over the holes, that thing will come from 1,500 meters away. Even if you don't kill you, you can still kill you with shells.

Therefore, after consuming three reconnaissance teams, basically detecting the firepower points of the kingdom people and estimating that the defenders of Shouhuai City would never exceed 600 troops, Gu Tian sent an infantry brigade to attack, and all the artillery under his command were put into the first round of attacks, and he planned to go down in one go.

Gu Tian, ​​who has been an instructor at the Army University, is indeed very powerful. Based on the size of Shouhuai City and the total strength of an infantry army in the Huangsu City Kingdom Defense Force, he estimated the strength of the Kingdom Defense Force in Shouhuai City without any error. His only mistake in judgment may be that his artillery fire overestimates the killing of the Kingdom Defense Force in Shouhuai City, because he did not know that there was a century-long urban underground engineering pipeline network built in advance by the kingdom merchants in Shouhuai City.

The 6th Division artillery group led by 12 105 howitzers, although the bombing of Shouhuai City was even a city wall several meters thick collapsed, but the lethality of the kingdom defenders in Shouhuai City was extremely limited. After bombing more than 400 heavy artillery shells, the total casualties of the kingdom defenders in Shouhuai City were no more than 6 people. It was really a big difference between the estimated enemy casualties of more than 200 by this professor-type army major general with rich teaching experience.

In this person's opinion, the total number of troops garrisons of the Kingdom people will not exceed 600, and there will be more than 200 casualties after the shelling, but only 400 people. He dispatched a fully organized infantry brigade of 1,100 people with nearly three times the strength of the Kingdom defenders, which is like killing chickens and using a ox knife.

However, the lion fought with the rabbit with all his strength. The Major General of the Black Hawk Empire Army, who is familiar with the military books, did not take it lightly. In order to capture the stronghold in front of Huangsu City at one time, he invested in more than a dozen artillery pieces, dozens of grenade launchers, dozens of heavy machine guns and 5 light tanks that the brigade's subordinates could command. With such superior firepower, it can be said that even if he faced a fully organized Kingdom Infantry Division, the 11th Infantry Brigade could still win the final victory.

But the fact gave him a heavy blow. Forty minutes passed, not only did Shouhuai City not take it, but his soldiers didn't even have the opportunity to send the 20-meter-long wooden ladder built with wood for infantry to step under the moat of this small castle. The casualties were even more shockingly reaching more than 390 people. That was the strength of nearly two infantry squadrons, which also meant that the 9th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Regiment he sent instantly became a "infantry squadron" of the 3rd squadron.

That's not all. When more than 3 of the five 94 "Little Dooding" tanks were damaged by the Kingdom Defense Force's 20mm machine guns, he unwilling to transfer three 89 medium tanks from the division headquarters to participate in the second round of attack. As a result, before he arrived at the moat, thousands of people involved in the attack retreated in a panic.

The two 89 tanks suffered damage and nearly 200 casualties. The man who stabbed could no longer help but feel angry. That means that before he could reach Huangsu City, the 13th Infantry Regiment directly commanded him had lost nearly 600 people. If he followed this battle loss speed, let alone the army after capturing Huangsu City, he led the army to point directly at Pingshanzhou to surround the hundreds of thousands of troops in Haicheng's kingdom. Just gnawing on the hard bones of Huangsu City, the Sixth Division would probably only have two or three big cats left!

At that time, will Lieutenant General Ding Bei wave his pistol and direct him as the major general of the army, then take these stupid colonels and lieutenant colonels to charge against hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops?

"Yes! The brigade commander is the lesson!" Colonel Kuang Jijia, the captain of the 13th Infantry Regiment, bowed his head with shame and accepted the scolding of his immediate superiors for him and others. "Our army suffered heavy losses in these two rounds of attacks, and the Wang Guojun was not as good as that. They must be at the end of their strength. On behalf of the 13th Infantry Regiment, I asked the brigade commander to give him another chance. This time, our corps will definitely attack the city, and we will definitely ask the city to keep no one."

"Silly!" Gu Tian, ​​in a rage, did not give his capable generals at all. Faced with his request for battle, he scolded him with frost. "Did you not find that the kingdom people have left no way out for you at all? The fight of trapped beasts is still terrible. My Sixth Division has a bigger goal to accomplish. How can we waste the precious life of the Empire Warriors in this place?"

Yes, after two rounds of attacks, the Major General of the Black Hawk Empire Army suddenly realized that the Kingdom Guards in Shouhuai City had everything, including light and heavy machine guns, even mortars and machine guns, but they did not leave any retreat. This was clearly the position of fighting to the end with the enemy attacking them. According to the previous ratio of combat losses, even if the small castle was captured in the end, the infantry gang under his command would be lost. If he attacked the defenders, how many people would he have left behind?

Maybe, the scene where Ding Beiwei took him and several officers to charge would really happen.

Shouhuai City can't be attacked with infantry, and it is left to the division artillery group to bomb, or to wait for the weather to improve, and he does not believe that the kingdoms can survive in that intensity of artillery fire. Although he was once extremely confused that after the last round of terrible artillery bombardment, the kingdoms who appeared on the city walls had more troops than he expected. In this regard, the confusing Major General Brigade Commander of the Black Hawk Army could only attribute the commander of the kingdoms to the kingdoms, which was really cruel. He actually put more than two infantry battalions into this dead place.

"What does the brigade commander mean?" The Black Hawk officers looked at each other.

This is also you who fights, and it is also you who don’t fight. Is it a fight or not now?

"The 9th Infantry Brigade, which had suffered heavy losses in the attack operation, built a field position 500 meters away to repair and monitor the Kingdom army here. If there is any abnormal movement, you can launch an attack. If it cannot retreat, hand it over to our heavy artillery and aviation bombardment. Gao Bin, you lead the 13th Regiment Headquarters and the 11th Infantry Brigade to march towards the west gate of Huangsucheng 1,000 meters outside the right side of the place. I lead the brigade headquarters and the 10th Infantry Brigade to march from 1,000 meters to the left side of the place. Remember, before the main force advances, send a vanguard team to prevent the kingdoms from attacking our army with the help of the houses and streets here." Gu Tian issued a military order.

The Major General of the Black Hawk Army, who was unwilling to lose more troops in Shouhuai City, finally gave up gnawing this tough bone, and instead came to Huangsu City first. As for whether the defenders of Shouhuai City behind them would use heavy machine guns or machine guns to shoot black guns, they could only put them aside for the time being. I hope that when the heavy artillery of the imperial artillery roared, they could blow all the tenacious and terrifying kingdom people to ashes!

Although the Major General of the Black Hawk Empire Army also knew that this possibility was not very high, a distance of 1,500 meters can still ensure that the kingdom's bullets would not be so accurate! Perhaps it was shameful to know that someone would be poked with a big stick behind his butt, but it was much better than hundreds of Imperial Warriors who died in this place where the meaning was not very great! This is the reason why the Major General of the Black Hawk Empire Army kept convinced himself to give up attacking Shouhuai City and choose to directly attack Huang Sucheng.

To put it bluntly, this is a typical self-deception, and also wants to rely on luck.

This commander from the academy was not as good as Ding Beiwei, who was born in Yeluzi but had been fighting on the front line and was promoted to Lieutenant General. If he was here, even if he paid the price of an infantry brigade's strength, he would grit his teeth and capture Shouhuai City first.

One, no, is a group of guys who can make fuss behind you at any time, which can really make you feel uncontrollable.

Don't believe it? Try to the end? And you'll use machine guns and mortars, which are cold first and then hot. It's really cool.

However, the predictions of this Black Hawk Imperial Army Major General, who was sent from the academy, were very correct, which was his advantage.

For example, he said that there would be kingdoms attacking them with endless houses and streets and alleys, which was completely right. From the beginning, whether inside or outside the city wall, as long as the territory of Huangsu City was the battlefield of the 43rd Army and Huangsu City Security Corps.

Every house, every street, is.
