Chapter 744: Go to the battlefield!

With the emergence of new weapons, especially fortifications, barbed wire is like a wall that can effectively defend against large-scale attacks from infantry and cavalry. At the same time, the emergence of machine guns made it possible to quickly shoot down the opponent's limited soldiers. In particular, the emergence of artillery, coupled with concealed fortifications, has doubled the destructive power of artillery. Mass destruction of opponent soldiers becomes possible. It has also become an easy thing. A shooter can easily kill hundreds of attacking soldiers as long as he hides behind the fortifications.

The emergence of advanced weapons has given the defending side a greater ability to conduct defensive operations. In particular, heavy machine guns played an important role in defense.

But another weapon gave the offensive side great destructive power. This is the heavy artillery. The caliber of the heavy artillery is more than five inches. The firing range of these artillery is longer than that of the old artillery, and the power of attack has become extremely powerful because of the use of yellow explosives.

"Retreat. Retreat." Yan Jun soldiers began to turn around and ran.

"Bring me back, you continue to shoot me. Alternately shoot and retreat, don't turn me around and run." An officer of Yan State saw a soldier turned around and ran quickly, so he grabbed him and let him shoot, even though It was Qin Army training. These recruits will quickly forget what they have learned in an environment like the battlefield. In their eyes, what they have learned is just a game of war.

In this way, the Yan army retreated while fighting.

"Boom. Boom. Whoops, whoops." The artillery shells roared past.

"Boom." Then there was a loud sound. Then there was the flames splashing, like lightning and thunder, and finally, the cloud of smoke rising.

"Boom boom." The earth began to tremble. The retreating Yan Army soldiers watched the heavy artillery bombardment in horror. The flames kept shining on the faces of soldiers who did not have much war experience. Only the sense of awe that has not experienced war can be seen on their faces.

"These big guys are too powerful artillery." A soldier of the Yan Army said.

"Hehe." The veteran could only smile slightly. He has experienced such a battlefield.

"Although I have never experienced such a big artillery attack. But I have experienced scenes worse than this." The veteran began to tell his story.

"When I was in the Yan State New Army, we had to line up to attack. At that time, the bullets were not accurate." A large group of recruits soon surrounded the veterans, hoping to use the story. To divert their awe and fear of the cannon.

"The bullet can't hit us at a distance of 80 paces, but within 50 paces, a row of guns will pass, and many people will die. If you shoot at a distance of 30 paces, people who die like that There will be more. I saw with my own eyes how those powerful bullets penetrated the human body and how the blood splashed out." The veteran said.

"When did this happen?" a recruit asked curiously.

"At that time, our country Yan was still at war with country Zhao. We defeated our opponents by that kind of tactics. At such a close distance, we could see each other's face clearly, unlike now, we sometimes even how the opponent looks like. I was beaten to death. I don't know who killed it. This is the **** war," the veteran said. The war is indeed cruel. And it's very cruel.

The veteran recalled the past for himself. When a veteran was a soldier, it was in the era of platoon guns. That kind of tactics required great courage and discipline to do this. Even if the people around him fell one by one, they couldn't watch it. But to keep moving forward, keep moving forward, keep moving forward. Only in this way can it be possible to survive. Those who fell were quickly made up by the people behind. All soldiers had only two chances to shoot at most. Before, they had to let their opponents shoot as much as possible, and they had to be unable to fight during this period. On the exact distance. Keep moving forward.

When they reach the position of the best combat distance, they will stop, and then shout with a neat slogan. aim. Shooting, in the sound of a row of shooting. Most of the opponent's personnel were hit and fell, and then three rounds of shooting began. At the end, the opponent would fall many people, and then charge. Use a bayonet to kill those who were shot down by the three rows of muskets and defeated their will.

"The most terrifying thing is not the platoon guns. It is the cannons. As long as those cannons are fired with enough density, sometimes we just need to move forward." The veteran said.

"Have you ever seen a cannonball cut off the opponent's head. I have seen it. It was a ricochet, seen through a telescope. Those cannonballs and iron **** look very slow. You can reach them as if you can reach them, but that thing is not Very good stuff," the veteran said.

"As soon as the shell fell, a large group of people fell. Those people died miserably. I walked over to see it specifically. The whole body was smashed. Bones, internal organs, and other things. Anyway, it looks very horrible. Disgusting." The veteran continued.

"The shells will then hit the hard ground and bounce back. The shells will fly over our heads. At this time we can only say. God. This is really lucky."

"But the place where it fell is not so lucky. When the shell falls again, it will produce a lot of force. That force can easily knock off the head of a person. I saw that a soldier's neck is so relaxed. It was shot down. Then a headless corpse was born like that." The veteran recalled.

"What happened to that head?" a recruit asked in surprise. He obviously wanted to know what would happen to his head after the shell hit.

"Head. Hahaha. Head." The veteran suddenly laughed and said.

"The head will become like water. Just if, a ball of broken eggs." At this time, the recruits couldn't laugh even if they wanted to. His head turned out to be like an egg in front of the shells. For them, this is really unacceptable.

"Later it was a machine gun. That thing was the most terrifying thing, chasing us to fight." The veteran shook his head as he said. He really didn't want to recall anything. After all, war is cruel, not a very interesting thing.

At this time, the short-term artillery offensive ended, and the soldiers of the Yan Army began to re-formulate to launch the offensive under the rectification of the officers.

"All bayonet and attack again. Give me a good performance. Don't be ashamed." The officer said back and forth.

"Damn official, I really hope his head is a broken egg." A soldier said maliciously.

"Hehe." The other soldiers laughed dryly. Isn't our own head an egg? These recruits began to rethink the cruelty of war.

"It seems that the power of heavy artillery is still great." Wang Jian said happily. After the heavy artillery bombardment, the bunker over there was blown up. The Yan army followed the armored tank and finally occupied the opponent's position.

Artillery bombardment, coupled with the charge of infantry and armored combat vehicles, should be a tactical tactic. However, the Yanjun heavy artillery unit's shooting level is very limited, and can only be completed with the help of the Qin army.

"If the war can be fought in this way, we might be able to let the Qi army join the Qi country." Wang Jian said to a senior officer of the Yan army.

Officer Yan Guo nodded his head in recognition. He didn't say anything about the others. There was nothing to say about it.

"Okay, here is a telegram from you. It seems that you will be on the battlefield soon." At this time, Wang Jian took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to the officer of the State of Yan. Officer Yan Guo took a look and put it away. This is a telegram for the expedition. The content of the telegram probably meant that they should follow Qin's arrangements as soon as possible, get on the train from Xianyang, and then head towards the war zone. They want to be fast. Because the war situation is very unfavorable to the country of Yan.

The situation in Yan State is indeed very unfavorable, to what extent is the unfavorable situation in the end. Only Qin pilots knew that.

"Buzz." A Qin Guoying twin-engine two-man fighter flew over the head of a fast-forward Qi Jun.

"No, it's flying birds. Everyone quickly hide." A man with the appearance of an officer of the Qi army looked up at the sky when he heard the buzzing sound in the sky. As a result, when he saw it, he was shocked. There was actually Qin's plane in the sky, and they knew that Qin's plane was very annoying.

"Disperse, disperse quickly." The person who looked like an officer of the Qi army yelled quickly and loudly.

"Disperse." Some veterans began to shout loudly, following.

"Buzz." At this time, Qin's fighters had already begun to dive down facing the Qi army. The first two machine guns are enough to form a powerful firing surface. Pilots generally think so.

In the face of an aircraft's ground attack, infantry has no good way. Even if they shoot with a rifle, they can't form a great killing effect. Bullets can only make a small hole, the kind of specialized air defense weapons, they have not yet appeared.

The soldiers of the Qi army slowly dispersed to both sides. But at this time, it seems a bit late.

"Buzz. Phew." The plane whizzed past.

"Bang bang." A series of machine gun sounds rang, and the bullets hit the ground.

"Ah". A soldier of the Qi army was hit, and then groaned violently.

"Woo". The plane was quickly pulled up.

"Bang Bang Bang. Bang Bang. Bang Bang." The pilot behind, as an observer, operated the machine gun at the back to continuously fire at Qi army soldiers on the ground.

Although the effect of this kind of shooting is not great, it can cause the psychological fear of the escapee.

"Run," a Qi army soldier shouted anxiously. They feel terrible about this kind of airplane.

"Do we need to fly again?" the Qin pilot with goggles shouted.

"No, look at our fuel and bullets. We can't do it again. We are going back to the base." The pilot who flew the plane replied loudly.

"Well, that's it for us today. Today is truly a day for the Qin Heavenly Army to celebrate. We even fired two Qi Army ground troops." The pilot shouted loudly.

"It's true," the pilot in front shouted loudly. This is indeed something to celebrate for them, but for Yan Guo, it is not so easy. On the contrary, they felt a lot of pressure.

After Qi Jun captured that Yan Guo army. The situation suddenly became clear. At this time, Yandu was less than two hundred miles away from the outpost of Qi army, and this distance had entered the position of the patrol and defense of the Qin Kingdom's heavenly army, but for Yan Kingdom, it meant that they didn't have a long time.

Between the Qi army and Yandu, there is no Yandu army that can resist the rapid advance of the Qi army. This also means that it is only a matter of time before Yandu falls. Now it depends on how long the time can be.

But there was another force standing in front of them. This force was Qin's airfields. In addition to Yandu's airfield, Qin also had two airfields deployed in the middle of this location.

However, it needs to be pointed out that the number of planes in these two airports of Qin State is very limited, and the total number is not more than twelve, but the ground forces exceed one battalion of Marines to defend. They are the only unit that can fight at this distance.

With the victory of the Qi army and the rapid advancement of the Qi army, the Qi army gradually entered the air patrol range of the Qin Heavenly Army. Every day, pilots found the traces of the Qi army in large numbers, and many of them used machine guns to shoot at these marching Qi soldiers. The soldiers of the State of Qi are being harassed by more and more Qin Army aircraft, but this harassment only temporarily slows down the advancement of the Qi Army. Due to the effective number of aircraft and the more dispersed advancement of the troops, they With about five hundred people as the advancing team, in this way, the Qin army's aerial shots could not kill many Qi army, and Qi army also paid more and more attention to aerial protection, and they watched the changes in the sky all the time.

"Today we found three teams of the Qi State Army. Their size is between one and two thousand. We fired on them, but the effect was not very good. The Qi Army is still advancing. And they seem to be unaffected by us. Proceed like interference," a pilot second lieutenant reported.

"Well, I know this." Qin Jun's airport commander nodded in approval. In fact, such reports frequently occurred in the days following the surrender of the Yan army. In this regard, the commander of the Qin Army began to get used to it. But they began to worry about some problems, that is, following the rapid advance of these Qi troops. Their machine tools are getting closer and closer to each other. They don't know when they can retreat. They need to get such accurate orders.

This kind of worry is very necessary, because as the Qi army advances, the Qi army is getting closer and closer to their airport, and the Qin army doesn’t seem to want them to retreat. If they want to retreat, then order It will be delivered early, because retreat is a technical job. If you are not prepared, the retreat will become a mess.

But there was no such order from Qin State, and the pilots could only do something on their own.

"We use the machine guns on our planes as much as possible to shoot at the fast advancing Qi army on the ground, and they continue to disperse to avoid our attack. And we can't do anything about it, we can only use machine guns to kill as much as possible. Every Qi national advancing." said a pilot.

"We flew over and fired quickly. We hate that these machine guns have a really slow rate of fire, but they are already very fast. The machine guns are like the coulters of a tractor. Many people from Qi are hit by us who have no time to escape. , They were either head shot and fired, or they were shot into a honeycomb shape."

"In this way, after we finish shooting, the opponent will still move forward, and it will move forward as if walking, because we don't have ground troops, do you understand? We just attacked them, they just suffered a certain loss. , But the only thing that can stop them is the army, but the Yan people have no army to use. There is nothing between us and the Qi people, and all the Yan people are gone.” The pilot complained.

In fact, it is true. Between the airfield of the Qin Army and the advancing troops of the Qi Army, the Yan Army no longer exists. Qi Jun moved forward quickly. The Qin Army can only harass and shoot as much as possible. Let the opponent slow down and move forward.

However, the ground troops only had one battalion of the Qin Army. This battalion could only be used for airport defense, not for offensive purposes. Moreover, they were not strong enough. If a battalion had to defend two airports separately, they could not attack at all. Their strength is severely insufficient.

This is the fact before the people of Qin. In the Qin State Staff Headquarters, the military has not forgotten Qin’s two airports, but the problem is that Qin wants reinforcements, but the current number of airports is only these three. If large-scale reinforcements are required, the airport will definitely need to accommodate them. The Qin military meant to defend as much as possible, and then establish a defensive point there so that more aircraft can land.

But the other party thinks this is inappropriate. This party is represented by Wang Jian. He believes that the current situation is not the time to consider the number of troops to be sent. Instead, it is necessary to consider the time when Zhao Jun sent troops, and at the same time where is the specific position of the line of defense that can be established. This is very important to Qin State.

Because this line of defense is related to Qin's next deployment, with this in mind, Qin Jun gave the initiative to Zhao Jun and asked him to formulate a specific plan for adjustment of the line of defense.

It was this kind of thinking that directly caused Qin Jun to not issue an order for the evacuation of the airport, or even an order for preparation. The airport commander asked one by one whether to retreat or stand by, but there was no clear answer from the above, but continued to wait for orders.

In this way, the defenders of the two machine tools will continue to wait for the order to be issued. This kind of waiting has brought serious consequences, because the Qi army is advancing very fast. After they have been advancing continuously, an outpost of the reconnaissance force has discovered the place where the Qin army's plane has landed at the airport.
