Chapter 1504 Unscientific is because of wisdom
In the imagination of this Black Hawk Imperial Army Major General, he only needed to throw some fire leads to ignite several or dozens of houses. With the help of the wind, the fire could burn all the densely packed kingdom houses with wood as the main structure close together.
The Army University professor, who once witnessed fires in the wooden houses in the capital up close, would be a tragic situation. A professor at the Army University firmly believed that his incendiary bomb strategy was enough to solve the enemy hidden in this house.
But the fact was that it had a great blow to him. The power of the throwing of more than 2,000 incendiary bombs was naturally extremely powerful. Just visually, more than a thousand houses were burned. However, in an area of more than 2 square kilometers, there were at least thousands of dense houses. These thousands of burned houses accounted for only one-third of them. Many houses were still intact. Without saying that the wind was at the same time, they were burned by the fire.
Could it be that the houses of kingdoms are not afraid of fire? Gu Tian was puzzled. Relying on the wet weather alone is not a reason why the house cannot be found!
Although the southern houses are very close, not only do the doors and windows, but also the beams of the houses are made of burnable wood, but the exterior walls of each household are made of blue bricks, especially the towering horse head wall between each household, which is not used to prevent thieves, but to prevent fire, which is enough to ensure that the family catches fire without causing harm to fish in the pond.
Otherwise, there would be no need to wait for Gu Tian to do any sulfur bombs. When the weather was dry, the family would be able to turn this very close residential house into a fire.
Not only this, the biggest reason why people in the south dare to build houses so close is not the horse head wall, but the water, a large amount of water. The reason why the south has become a water town is that the water system is extremely developed.
Outside Huangsu City, there is a moat with an average width of 33 meters. Four water gates are built in the four gates in the east, west, south and north. The four rivers even meander in Huangsu City, becoming the main source of water for residents in the city to draw and use water. In that era, there was no tap water, and it was relying on this kind of self-flowing water.
Several factors intertwined, causing the Black Hawk Army's sulfur bombing to lose its effect that should have been produced.
Of course, it cannot be said that Gu Tian convinced himself to give up the principle of using "chemical weapons" one-hour shelling was useless, which was obviously a bit too idealistic. The shelling of the Black Hawk Army for more than one hour still caused great losses outside the West City and inside Shouhuai City.
Although rivers pass through Shouhuai City, at least 200 incendiary bombs were smashed into this military fortress. As a result, at least 80% of the houses in Shouhuai City were ignited, and the huge heat caused by the combustion made the soldiers who had penetrated ten meters underground sweat.
It was not only hot, but also scared. After the sound of the cannon stopped, people were specially sent to go through the exit to check it out. As a result, before reaching the main exit, they were forced back by the terrible high temperature. They found four exits in a row, and finally got out at a low temperature. The light of burning fire was everywhere. Many fish with their belly flew out of the small river that passed through Shouhuai City. They reached in and checked. The extremely cold water in November could definitely be soaked in the hot springs.
The terrible fire did not even launch an attack while the shelling stopped. No one believed that anyone could survive such a fire. Whether it was he going to heaven or escape, floating in the sky into roast chicken, hiding from the ground into beggar chicken, hiding from the ground into roast chicken, hiding from the house into roast chicken, hiding from the house into roast chicken, hiding from the house, hiding from the chicken, this is how it was cooked.
The Black Hawk Empire's idea was correct at all. If it weren't for the warning flares issued by the 48th Regiment headquarters, everyone ran fast enough and half of the people who were hiding underground who were qualified to sweat might have been burned into roasted pigs, and then the flow might have been oil instead of sweat.
The four infantry companies responsible for defending all sides of Shouhuai City released four total 16 guard posts. Only five people survived the raging fire and poisonous gas. They were all burned and poisonous injuries to varying degrees. After quickly transporting the wounded to underground pipelines and rushed to Huangsu City to emergency hospital, Chen Sheng, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Infantry Battalion of the 48th Regiment and the three infantry company commanders had a short meeting.
The telegram from the regiment headquarters has made it clear that if you feel that Shouhuai City is difficult to hold, you can withdraw to the city and continue fighting. Shouhuai City's enemy blocking mission has been completed. But almost no one is willing to retreat. More than 200 people in the Third Battalion of the 48th Regiment died in Shouhuai City in battle, and Chen Sheng's 80-man infantry company also died in battle. If you leave like this, it is disrespectful to your comrades.
Although a fire broke out in the city, the city walls and moats were still there, and there were more than 200 soldiers to fight. As long as the Black Hawk Empire dared to attack, they would definitely make them pay a price beyond their imagination.
Before going to the battlefield, you may still have fear and fear of life and death. Only soldiers who have been to the battlefield can know that when you see your comrades who are together day and night lie at your feet and become a cold corpse, or are blown up by shells and can never be found again, death has made you numb. What you fear the most is not death or the rain of bullets that can bring death, but that you cannot kill more enemies and avenge your comrades.
Normal human nature is always destroyed in artillery fire, while the tenacity of the warrior is rebuilt.
While the flames were still surging, the soldiers who emerged from the ground hid in the fortifications with weapons and waited for the Black Hawks to attack. Either they scattered blood on the wall of this large warehouse where goods were stored and transported in the south of the kingdom, or the enemy's bodies were lying on the land in the south of the kingdom, with no second choice.
Qingpi was also gazing at the huge fire. At least one-third of the houses outside the West City were ignited by the terrifying incendiary bombs of the Black Hawk Army. Including the land where he was located, a large number of wooden structure houses in the Zen temple were emitting thick smoke and spitting flames, allowing Qingpi, who was above 40 meters above the altitude, could feel the terrible high temperature caused by the violent combustion.
His hair had become bent and his clothes were too hot to bear and took off. The shirtless 22-year-old young man was covered in oil and sweat. He glanced at the little guy next to him with fear and a little excitement in his eyes. Qingpi was a little depressed and pulled a little head that was leaning out to look at, "What are you looking at? You're not going to hide for me!"
"I said I'm going to be so bad, but I'll have already been roasted..." The 12-year-old boy with a melon-skin hairstyle rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, but his body shrank back obediently.
Qingpi smiled bitterly, as if the little chaotic bottle was telling the truth. Without this little guy, he would have really become a roast pig.
The moment Qingpi saw the three signal flares that had been agreed to represent the highest warning before the war hit the sky, he ordered all the remaining soldiers under his command to carry the bodies of the dead brothers they could find and retreat into the underground pipeline. However, he himself chose to stay on the ground according to the regulations that one person was left as a warning post for each infantry platoon.
If it were before the war, it would be impossible to leave a warning post. The remaining 20% may be decided by the big guy other than him, the platoon leader, who would be the unlucky guy. The mortality rate left on the ground, even with the intensity of the Black Hawks' previous shelling, would exceed 70%. What is that unlucky guy?
However, Qingpi, who fought a battle with a Black Hawk Army infantry squad, is no longer the same Qingpi as before. Not only did he avenge his future wife, but he also had to be responsible for the remaining 30 people. If he could not complete the military order of the Black Hawk Army for 5 hours, they would likely die collectively in this hell-like battlefield.
The colonel, who was fair and erect and pine, was definitely a person who would do his best. He was sure that the guy said that the underground pipeline would be closed. At that time, he and the 30 people under his command would die. He had already hated their main army of Black Hawk Empires, and he would dig out three feet to the ground and kill them one by one.
If you hide, you can't hide, so you can only fight and continue to fight like before. It is necessary to remind everyone to enter the ground. Otherwise, when the Black Hawk Army enters the battlefield and the people are still underground, it is very likely that they will be blocked by the Black Hawk Empire people and they will be blocked in the underground pipeline. Maybe they will lose a few big bombs and they will be finished together.
However, as one of the three evils of Huangsucheng, Qingpi also has his own little wisdom. He didn't want to die easily before killing twenty Black Hawk Empire Black Hawk Empire people. He fell in love with the Buddhist temple not far from this place.
Of course, I fell in love with the Buddhist temple not because the Buddha's halo can avoid bullets, but the 46-meter-high pagoda in the backyard of the Buddhist temple, which not only allows him to climb high and look into the distance to pay attention to the movements of the Black Hawk Army, but also gives him enough security protection, unless he is lucky enough, the Black Hawk Army hit the pagoda with a straight shot that is not wide...
If that is the case, he can only admit that he is unlucky.
In fact, when the brothers were driven underground, Qingpi, carrying a light machine gun alone, carried two brothers' rifles, with a squad gun, 8 grenades and 500 rounds, did not intend to treat himself as a warning post, but was preparing to sacrifice his life to treat the pagoda as his firepower point.
Qingpi, who is becoming more and more like a real warrior, had a premonition that if the commanding heights overlooking the whole city were occupied by the Black Hawk Army, it would cause terrible damage to the brothers fighting in the houses and alleys. He decided to take the initiative first.
When the Black Hawk Army started shelling, the Qingpi, who was running towards the Buddhist temple, was overturned and fainted by the shock wave of a 105-caliber high-explosive bomb that exploded 50 meters away. If nothing unexpected happens, the Qingpi, which was blown away by the gate of the main hall, would be either burned by poisonous gas or roasted by the fire, or the fragrance would be scented.
