Li Xiao nodded: "Make a note of it. From now on, a layer of lining will be added to the helmet."

"promise!"

These are experiences gained through practice and even blood on the battlefield, and they must be taken seriously.

"If there is anything else, let me tell you." Li Xiao looked at the old monkey with a kind smile.

"And..., all my machine guns have been shot down, and I want some veterans." The old monkey boldly made his request to the commander.

"I can't help you with this!" Li Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"There is a shortage of veterans everywhere now.

If you want veterans, you can only train them yourself."

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. There were many casualties, so veterans, especially those who went to the battlefield again after being injured, were very valuable.

Sometimes, the number of such veterans can directly determine the outcome of a battle.

After finishing the buns in his mouth in a few mouthfuls, Li Xiao said to Nian Gengyao next to him: "How are you going to clear this place?"

“The terrain here is really complex.

There are collapsed and semi-collapsed buildings everywhere, as well as some intact buildings.

This place is perfect for street fighting!

The most terrible thing is that there are several floors underground here.

And it’s a tunnel!

This kind of battle can only be done bit by bit."

Nian Gengyao didn't have any better idea. To be honest, there are only a dozen companies in such a large factory area, which is simply not enough.

"Water milling skill, how do you want to grind it?" Li Xiao asked with interest.

"It means clearing out buildings one by one. As long as a basement is found, it must be cleared out layer by layer.

Until these scourges are completely eradicated!”

"One building after another, one basement and one basement. How long will it take you to destroy them like this?

Also, you said there are many tunnels here.

What if the enemy uses the tunnel to get behind you?

What if the enemy forces ambush you in the basement?"

"This...!" Nian Gengyao was speechless.

In this tough battle, he was not prepared to send his men to join the battle.

Old Monkey and the infantry companies that were transferred here are actually the cannon fodder he wants to use.

Since he is cannon fodder, he naturally does not care about casualties.

Li Xiao asked this question now, which made Nian Gengyao speechless.

"The infantry follows the Type 1 tanks. If there are enemy troops on the roof, the Type 1 tanks are responsible for dealing with them.

A twenty-five-millimeter rapid-fire cannon will have no problem dealing with reinforced concrete brick walls."

Li Xiao gestured to Nian Gengyao to spread out the map, pointed to the main road of the steel plant and said.

"No, it's not difficult to do this." Now that the commander-in-chief personally gave guidance, Nian Gengyao immediately became a good student.

The little bit of arrogance shown in front of Mr. Ao is now gone.

“After occupying the street, we need to penetrate into the buildings on both sides of the street.

Once you discover the basement, don't attack, just send people to watch the entrances and exits.

Then throw a smoke bomb down to find the ventilation hole in the basement."

Nian Gengyao's eyes lit up. If there was anything necessary for a basement, it must be a vent.

Without air, people cannot survive in a basement.

Even if you have several basements, due to the construction, most of them use only one vent.

"It's easy to find the ventilation hole and fill it with chlorine gas bombs.

Those who are smoked out will be beaten to death, and those who cannot be smoked out will not be able to come out."

Li Xiao tapped the map and said to Nian Gengyao.

When he heard the words chlorine gas bomb, the old monkey trembled all over for no reason.

During the Battle of Tsaritsyn, his brothers were poisoned to death by chlorine gas bombs in the basement of the Tsaritsyn Railway Station.

That kind of tragic scene makes people dare not recall it.

Many people scratched their faces due to suffocation.

Now, in this battle directed by the commander himself, chlorine gas bombs have to be used again.

"Nian Gengyao, you have to remember that none of the lives of our Ming warriors is redundant.

Their father and mother worked hard for eighteen years to bring them into adulthood, and they are definitely not here to be used as cannon fodder for you.

You may command other troops in the future, but I want you to remember this: Ming soldiers are not cannon fodder.

If you use anyone as cannon fodder, I won’t spare you even if I find out.”

Li Xiao's words made all the cannon fodders stand in awe.

They stood upright one by one, just out of fear, now out of respect.

"Let the airship transport the chlorine bomb to you now. It will probably arrive at noon.

Now, take the people and occupy the main road.

The infantry should pay attention to the bottom layer, and leave the top to Type 1 tanks."

"promise!"

Nian Gengyao stood at attention and agreed to the promise. He just raised his right hand, remembering what happened to the old monkey, and quickly put it down again.

After breakfast, the Ming army began to attack.

The old monkey followed closely behind a Type 1 tank, looking at the buildings on both sides of the road without blinking.

Ding San simply squatted on top of the tank, holding the 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the turret in his hand.

The streets were littered with broken bricks and tiles, and a lot of scattered cement fragments.

Near the outer positions, there were many corpses lying on the ground.

Most of these people were killed by bullets, and some were killed by mortars.

The tanks rumbled past them, and the corpses trembled.

It's probably because the fighting was so intense last night that there was basically no one in the workshop or the house facing the street.

Occasionally, two snipers would be spotted quickly by dozens of pairs of eyes below after they fired.

Today, the Aka rifle contains a tracer bullet every other round.

Everyone can see the trajectory!

The snipers hidden on high floors were miserable. They were often discovered by the Ming army just after they fired, or even before they fired.

First, the Aka rifle used tracer bullets to indicate the target, and soon the 25mm rapid-fire cannon began to exert its power.

A series of shots directly ripped open the reinforced concrete wall.

The snipers were shot to pieces by the shells that passed through the wall.

There are also some machine guns hiding in the dark. After mowing down a few Ming soldiers, they will be targeted by the 75mm cannon of the Type IV tank.

The gunfire was filled with smoke, and the place where the explosion occurred was a mess of blood and flesh.

There are also some tankers who like to use smoke bombs to enter the workshop!

Several snipers were smoked out by the smoke and then shot to death randomly.

We played ping-pong-pong all morning, and we didn't take a break at noon. We were still looking for people in one building after another.

Nian Gengyao looked at the reports ahead and found that not many people had been killed in the morning.

There are only more than a hundred people in each company!

For more than two thousand guerrillas, this is not an extraordinary loss.

Li Xiao was just looking through the binoculars!

It's been a long time since I've been to the front line of combat, and Li Xiao seemed very excited.

It's just a pity that the chance to fight with the Aka rifle in person is gone.

If you charge forward with an Aka rifle, a group of people behind you will go crazy.

The airship flew back, bringing more than twenty barrels of chlorine gas bombs.
