Chapter 1521 This is the price of destroying cultural relics
The firepower points in the city wall were abandoned to avoid the destruction of the 120 large-caliber cannons that were approached to 2,000 meters by the Black Hawk Imperial Army, which was one by one, increased casualties. However, it was never said that the First Battalion of the 48th Regiment of the 15th Division, which was responsible for defending the urban defense of Huangsucheng, completely gave up the defense of the city wall.
As early as 500 meters away, they mobilized six mortars and hid in a very hidden yard, waiting for the artillery observer who was responsible for observation to report the coordinates of the Black Hawk Army entering the inner wall to smash the 15 shells that had been prepared for each gun.
Although the power of the 90 shells is incomparable to the Black Hawk Empire's power, it is absolutely enough for the Black Hawk Empire to drink a pot and kill hundreds or dozens of people. Even these shells mean to force the Black Hawk Empire's forward into the houses inside the city walls.
Through the entire day and night battle yesterday, just as the Black Hawk Army knew that the Kingdom Army would never easily hand over control of the city, the Kingdom Army also knew that the Black Hawk Army would never retreat easily.
The Huangsucheng defender guarded the most important way for hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops, and the most elite force in the entire kingdom to fight against the Black Hawk Empire.
The Sixth Division is due to its honor, to realize the personal ambitions of their Lieutenant General Division Commander, and also the ambitions of the entire Black Hawk Empire nation for this fertile land.
Not to mention that only 90 shells could not be repelled, even a thousand shells would be strong, the Black Hawk Army would have to attack. The houses around the city walls were gifts given to them by the 48th Regiment to enter the city.
But the artillerymen did not expect that the Black Hawk Army, who was eager to attack, was cautious enough to resist the temptation of not abandoning the city wall. The main force of the vanguard was still waiting outside the city wall, and only sent a reconnaissance team of dozens of people to climb the city wall.
Originally, the artillery observers were still disdainful of dozens of Black Hawk Empire men. Their target was a vanguard of the Black Hawk Army with hundreds of people from the beginning, but Du Xi's infantry team was too arrogant. Not only did they hold their guns and shout "charge" at the top of the city, but they also planted the general's flag on the top of the city to show the occupation.
This really made the infantry battalion commander who was hiding at the observation point and holding a telescope to silently look at all in front of him. Qiu Tongren grew up eating chili peppers, and his personality was outward-looking and hot. When he saw that the Black Hawk Army was so arrogant, he immediately changed his strategy. Since you are so cautious, I will give you some colors first and let you know what delivery is.
With the order of the highest commander on the front line of Xicheng District, the artillery observer quickly determined the coordinates of Du Xi's infantry squad, and six mortars that had been prepared were quickly opened fire.
Once fire is opened, all the shells must be fired. The Black Hawk Army's air balloon is 1,000 meters away. The Black Hawk Army observers on the balloon will not leave them much time.
To be honest, when 90 shells hit the sky, Du Xi's infantry team did suffer heavy casualties, but more than 40% of them were actually not killed by the shells, but fell or injured.
From the sound of cannons to the arrival of the mortar, the time left for the Black Hawk Army to react will never exceed 1.5 seconds. At most, these 1.5 seconds will only make people crawl to the ground. If you want to run, you will definitely not be able to run out of three meters.
Like Du Xi, he was very rational. When he heard the roar of the shells in the air, he didn't even have time to remind his subordinates, and turned around and jumped off the city wall without hesitation.
The walls of Huangsu City are as high as six meters! In the future, they are close to the height of three floors. If there is mud below, they will probably be broken and their legs will be broken, but the ground below the walls will be hardened. The most terrifying thing is that the Black Hawk Army is fully armed and the weight is definitely over 10 kilograms.
Moreover, the Black Hawk Army is definitely a stubborn idea of escaping. If you run away, you can run away. There is no time to throw away the things on your body. You must throw away the bayonet pistol in your hand first!
He was not right. Even if he had enough reaction to jump under the wall, he was holding a gun weighing several pounds in his hand, for fear of losing his weapon and being punished by Shangguan.
However, those who are qualified to be punished must first live.
Those who react slowly, although they were blown up by the fire that followed one after another, were flying people everywhere in the air, and those who responded quickly took the initiative to jump under the city wall, but they were not much better. If they chose the "jumping off the building" posture, they would basically end up with short legs turning into broken legs. If they didn't choose the right posture, they would basically stop and slapped without saying a word. As for whether they died or lived, it depends on whether their gods had finished mahjong.
The most tragic thing is that the kind of flexible enough and the psychological quality is strong. If you fall on the ground and your legs are not broken, you still want to use the roll to remove the impact. That is a tragedy.
Not to mention that the rifles in their own hands will become their own weapon to "pull" them, the pistol with bayonets that are poking under the wall is even more cold!
The poor Lieutenant Du Xi hit his companion's "muzzle" with his head, and he was still rolling on the ground, and he accidentally rolled on the bayonet. The quality of the Type 38 bayonet was indeed good. It easily slid across the helmet along the edge of the helmet and pierced the hard skull of the Black Hawk Army Lieutenant, and directly penetrated into his brain.
The Black Hawk Army Ensign's hands and feet trembled for no more than ten seconds before returning to complete tranquility.
This may be the price of destroying cultural relics! You know, the walls of Huangsu City have existed since the Tang Dynasty. Even if the blue bricks were not left behind by the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, they were also left behind after the renovation of the early Ming Dynasty 600 years ago. They are definitely cultural relics.
Even if Du Xi is not dead now and is arrested in the future, he will probably be sentenced to ten or eight years for the evidence left by him.
As for the 90 shells that the 48th Regiment smashed by itself, I don’t know how many "ancient relics" were blown into powder. I think my ancestors wouldn’t be surprised! Anyway, as long as they were written by the Black Hawk Empire, they wouldn’t be fine.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just inserting a military flag and engraving a line of untied words on the blue bricks, Du Xi's infantry team paid the price of 20 deaths and 23 injuries, and only three people escaped the disaster without any damage.
The Black Hawks' artillery reacted very quickly. After five minutes of the Kingdom's shelling, the 75 mountain cannons roared and smashed the shells into the houses where smoke was coming out. However, it was obviously futile. 15 shells and a mortar were fired in just one minute. Within 4 minutes, a mortar team had already carried the mortars and ran away. In particular, they had underground pipelines for hiding and hiding.
But obviously, the casualties of dozens of people were not enough to shake the Black Hawks' determination to attack Huangsu City. After 10 minutes of roaring 75 mountain cannons and field cannons, the Black Hawks sent two reconnaissance teams into the city, and engineers also began to build pontoon bridges on the moat. More than 8 tanks were on standby by the moat, and nearly 4 infantry squadrons gathered around the Huangsu City Wall.
It indicates that the Black Hawk Army infantry and armored soldiers entering the city will have more than 1,500 troops, even higher than the 48th Regiment and Huangsucheng Security Regiment in Xicheng District at this time.
The underground pipeline network will not be able to protect officers and soldiers. At most, it can only rely on this to transport troops. If the ground battlefield is lost, the Black Hawk Army will be able to inject poison gas through the entrance, and the underground will become hell.
Moreover, this time it is not like losing the position outside the city wall, and the inner city. If the position is lost this time, there will be no position. Everyone who loses the cover of the house will not be shot and killed by the Black Hawk infantry, but will be blown to ashes by the overwhelming artillery fire of the Black Hawk Army. There is no luck.
Every house, even every room on the ground, will become a battlefield.
An inch of land must be fought for.
Either you die or I die.
