Shooting rifle grenades these days is considered Aka 47's unique skill.

With Cao Bianjiao taking the lead, the soldiers below also opened their arms. Because of the weight of the grenades, each person only brought two. Everyone treasured these grenades.

The sudden explosion stunned the Mongols. They thought the Ming army had mortars!

It's understandable that a small group of Ming troops would go around the mountain road, but going around the mountain road carrying mortars would be too much. Even if it takes a lot of effort to carry the mortars up, how many shells can there be? The opponent actually has such a dense number of shells.

, there is only one explanation, and that is that this is a large force of the Ming Army.

I crossed the Xingxing Gorge without anyone noticing. How did I do it?

The attack stalled for a short time, and soon Cao Bianjiao knew that Wei Mao had to stop for a while.

When the ghost-crying sound sounded, Cao Bianjiao's soul almost flew away.

Rocket launcher!

Dozens of bright spots appeared in the half-dark sky. The Mongols had limited artillery shells, so of course a small force couldn't use rocket launchers. But a large force could.

Cao Bianjiao shrank sharply, and a thick cotton coat covered him. In fact, the cotton coat didn't have much effect, but covering it was better than not covering it at all.

Suddenly something pressed down on his body. At this time, he didn't bother to stand up and look. Cao Bianjiao covered his ears with his hands and opened his mouth. He was covered in a cotton coat and begged that it wasn't a heavy rocket. If it was that thing, he would have to wait for someone.

The body was collected.

There was an explosion sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. Every time there was an explosion, the ground shook, as if someone was pounding around him. Cao Bianjiao squatted on the ground, his legs shaking like springs. He couldn't hear anything in his ears, and his nose was full of dirt.

It smelled fishy, ​​and my mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

Finally there was no sound. In Cao Bianjiao's world, there was silence between heaven and earth.

"Cough cough cough!" Cao Bianjiao coughed hoarsely.

If you can cough, it means you are not dead. Cao Bianjiao felt that he had encountered a miracle. Being able to survive a rocket bombardment was similar to being struck by lightning while walking on the road.

His legs were sore and numb, and the bones all over his body hurt as if they were falling apart. His chest was so tight that he knew that if he continued like this, he would be suffocated to death.

I wanted to lift up the cotton coat, but I felt it was very heavy. I pushed it hard, but I couldn't stand up. Damn it, are you going to be buried alive by the soil lifted up by the shell? This way of death is too damn cruel!

No! Even if I die, I can't be buried alive like this.

Cao Bianjiao used all his strength to push up. His legs tried their best and finally stood up like a weightlifter.

A corpse slid down obliquely. It was covered with a cotton coat, and its face was bleeding. Its eyes were wide open, and it stared at the rising sun without closing its eyes.

This is your own guard!

Guards are assigned to every regiment leader level. This is the military rule of the Liao army! If the person you are guarding dies but you are still alive, you will be shot even if you escape to the rear.

On the battlefield, no matter how dangerous the situation is, no guard leaves his leader.

Cao Bianjiao knew that when the cannonball fell, the guard covered him with his body. This way he did not suffer too much impact, otherwise he would be like him and be shocked to death by the huge shock wave.

The surrounding area was a piece of scorched earth, with little bits of fire burning in some places. The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, which made Cao Bianjiao cough violently again.

In fact, it is rare to smell the smell of blood on modern battlefields. Especially after such a large-scale shelling, all you can smell in your nose is the smell of gunpowder smoke. The lungs seem to be full of air, but there is no way to exhale. The chest

I was so suffocated that I wanted to take a big breath, but I was choked and coughed again.

Cao stood in the foxhole like a zombie, calling for people as hard as he could. He longed for a guy standing out of those foxholes, his face covered in gunpowder smoke like an imp, baring his white teeth and smiling at himself: "Regiment Commander

!I’m here! I’m alive!”

The shouting was so loud that Cao Bianjiao's throat hurt. But he himself couldn't hear a single sound. At first, Cao Bianjiao thought he was mute.

His throat connected to his lungs hurt, but Cao Bianjiao didn't care. He really wanted to see one of his soldiers stand up!

All those foxholes were quiet, no one stood up. Suddenly, Cao Bianjiao saw a hand. On the charred land, the hand was so obvious.

Cao Bianjiao ran over and pulled the hand out excitedly. Maybe he could save a brother's life.

The force was very strong, and then Cao Bianjiao sat up in a butt squat.

He held a hand in his hand, a hand that had been taken off from the elbow. Cao Bianjiao held the severed hand and looked at it for a long time, but he could not tell who the severed hand belonged to.

In the distance, the Mongolians remounted their horses, held the reins in one hand and rifles in the other, and rushed forward shouting "Ao" and "Ao". A head is a military merit, not only in the Liao army, but also among the Mongols.

It would be great if one could be caught alive. Over in the Ili Valley, the Han soldiers were very interested in the orcs. As long as they interrogated them carefully, they would definitely get something from their mouths.

Cao Bianjiao held his severed hand and sat dumbly on the ground, seemingly forgetting that this was a battlefield.

The Mongolian cavalry galloped on their horses. He made "ouch" and "ouch" sounds in his mouth and was very excited. There was actually a living person. God bless him. This guy must be a high official. If he is a high official, he will be very excited.

valuable.

Before the Mongolian cavalry could rush out thirty meters, there was a scream from the sky. Then huge explosions began to occur among the Mongolian cavalry. Judging from the power of the artillery shells, it was almost the same as the Mongolian rocket launchers.

Three hundred Mongolian soldiers who were charging were instantly engulfed by artillery fire.

105 mm howitzer!

This is the largest caliber artillery that an airship can carry!

For today's operation, Li Xiao specially hoisted twelve 105mm howitzers. The artillerymen pushed the howitzers out of the cargo bay, immediately broke open the double plows, and the calculation soldiers started calculating the ballistics with telescopes.

The first salvo hit the Mongolian charge line accurately. Many of the Mongolian soldiers who charged madly were lifted into the air by the air wave of the explosion. Some of them were directly torn into pieces by the flying shrapnel.

When the calculation soldier saw the first hit, he immediately shouted: "Five rapid fire shots."

The hastily constructed artillery position suddenly boomed with artillery fire. As soon as the artillery shells were moved out of the warehouse, they were stuffed into the barrel and fired.

The shell shell came out with hot air, and another shell was immediately filled in.

After five rapid fires, the charging Mongolian cavalry were already strewn with corpses. The road was littered with either complete or fragmented corpses. There was even a faint smoke rising from some of the corpses.

Under the rising sun, groups of soldiers holding the latest Aka 47 rifles rushed towards Xingxing Town. Under the rising sun, an airship flew over Xingxing Town. The huge body quickly stabilized, and then a bomb weighing a thousand kilograms was launched.

Throw it down.

On the Mongolian rocket launcher position, the Mongolian soldiers were loading rockets. At this time, they also saw clearly that there were soldiers running down from the airship in the distance. They had to bombard them with rockets in order to save Xingxing Town.

The bomb hit the ground with a fierce sound. The explosion in the sky caused the huge airship to sway left and right. The soldiers on the rocket launcher position were vaporized in an instant. The big explosion caused

The ammunition exploded, and the scene was simply like hell.

Nie Dahu took a breath of cold air, and billowing black smoke steamed up on the hillside behind Xingxing Town. There seemed to be flames rolling in the black smoke, and the huge impact of the explosion directly destroyed half of the houses in Xingxing Town.

.

The Mongols screamed and fled in all directions. The Liao soldiers at the front knelt down and held their guns, firing accurately one by one, harvesting the lives of the Mongols.

Suddenly, more than a thousand cavalrymen rushed out of Xingxing Town. These people all held rifles in their hands and fired guns while running. Looking at the direction in which he was escaping, Nie Dahu knew that these people wanted to escape to Hami.

More than a thousand cavalry faced only more than 200 Liao infantry. Even if the Liao soldiers had sharp weapons and there were no bunkers at this distance, these more than 200 people would be dead.

Nie Dahu had long expected this trick. These two hundred people happened to be the heavy machine gun company. Six Maxim heavy machine guns were pulled by people on tricycles and quickly deployed in place.

More than a thousand cavalry can indeed crush two hundred infantry. But if the infantry has a divine weapon like Maxim, then these cavalry can be reincarnated.

The commander of the machine gun company gave an order, and six Maxim heavy machine guns spit out tongues of fire at the same time. The ultra-high rate of fire shot out a dense wall of metal projectiles in an instant. Anyone who hit this wall would be mercilessly penetrated.

The nine-millimeter machine gun bullets were so powerful that more than a thousand Mongolian cavalrymen immediately fell on their backs. Many people turned their horses' heads and ran into the desert.

But no matter how fast your reaction is, it can't be faster than a bullet.

The Maxim heavy machine gun is like the scythe of death. No matter how fast you run, you will be mercilessly harvested. The extremely high rate of fire meant that after the machine gun fired for five minutes, no one of more than a thousand people was left alive.

Nie Dahu was very satisfied with the power of the Maxim heavy machine gun!

In other words, Mr. Ao was very quick and plucked it out from the arsenal. For this matter, he was scolded by Li Xiao.

Of course, this is the version that Nie Dahu heard. The fact is that Ao Canghai arrived at Li Xiao's house in the capital, and the two brothers sat and drank until they were drunk. Li Xiao was forced to vomit several times and almost ended up in the hospital again.

"Report to Master Ao! I have occupied Xingxing Town and am annihilating the remaining enemies and building fortifications. I will definitely be able to block the exit of Xingxing Gorge. Please rest assured, Master Ao!" Nie Dahu was satisfied. He did not believe that the Mongols could break through his defensive position.

"Send him back too! Cao Bianjiao is indeed a tough guy." Looking at Cao Bianjiao being carried on the stretcher, Nie Dahu stood up straight and respectfully saluted with a military salute.

"No!" The messenger ran onto the airship and flew to Jiayuguan with the empty airship.

Before the airship flew to Jiayuguan, countless armies were marching along the road. The teams marching on foot were winding on the ground like snakes. The head of the team was fifty miles away, and the end of the team had not yet left Jiayuguan.

Jiayuguan Railway Station is the busiest place, except for the Mongols. The first, third and fourth infantry divisions of the Liao Army were all transported to Jiayuguan by train. Before that, 37,000 Japanese soldiers were also transported by train

Go here.

For a time, Jiayuguan became a sea of ​​soldiers.

Li Xiao's headquarters is located in a building not far from Jiaxing Railway Station.

There is a huge map hanging on the wall, and the sand table underground is made strictly to scale. Obviously, Li Yongfang has not been idle these years. The map of the Western Regions has been sketched in quite detail.

"Commander! Nie Dahu has captured Xingxing Town. We have formed a pincer attack on Xingxing Gorge from both front and rear. The five thousand defenders guarding Xingxing Gorge have now become turtles in the jar." Ao Canghai walked in with a smile. His men can fight.

, he also has face as a teacher.

"This is just the first step! We have to surround Xingxingxia without attacking. Even when their messenger returns to the Western Regions, we have to pretend to let him go." Li Xiao pointed at the map and said.

"Oh! I understand, you want a spoonful of stew!" After looking at the map for a while, Ao Canghai immediately understood.

"If the defenders in Xingxing Gorge don't die or surrender, the Mongols will not forget this army. They can only transfer more troops from the Western Regions to Hami, ready to counterattack in one fell swoop, capture Xingxing Town, and make Xingxing Gorge an impregnable place again.

The fortress." Li Xiao placed his hand on the Xingxing Gorge.

"What a beautiful idea! I know the abilities of this boy Nie Dahu. If you want to break through the defense line he has set up, hey! The Mongols will have to come with tens of thousands." Ao Canghai was very confident in his men.

"It would be better to pay one hundred and eighty thousand. When the time comes, Man Ye will lead a division and the Mongolian cavalry and go south along the Altai Mountains. They will block the Mongols' retreat route and it will be useless to say how many people they have. If everything goes well,

Most of the problems in the Western Regions can be solved in Hami."

"That guy Cao Bianjiao fought very well. More than a hundred people were able to hold back three thousand Mongolian soldiers in Xingxing Town. Because he fought too hard, the Mongols used rocket launchers!"

"A rocket launcher was used? How is Cao Bianjiao?" Hearing that the Mongols used rocket launchers, Li Xiao's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

The light rocket launcher is better. If it is a heavy rocket launcher, one shot will weigh 500 kilograms. When it hits the ground, it will break with impact and can tear anything into pieces. Cao Bianjiao was bombarded by the rocket launcher, and I am afraid he will not survive.

Li Xiao liked Cao Bianjiao very much. If he died like this, Li Xiao would feel a little uncomfortable.

"Not dead! But he was seriously injured. He seemed to have been stunned by the explosion. He was holding a severed hand and was in a daze. I'm worried that this kid is so hysterical. What a pity!" Ao Canghai also likes this guy very much. He dares to fight.

A tough guy who dares to fight. Among the new generation of generals, Cao Bianjiao is the most outstanding.
Chapter completed!
