Chapter 771: Trench siege

The diplomatic situation is extremely complicated, especially the current rapid advance of the Qi army has reached a critical point in the diplomatic situation. This tipping point will trigger a series of unimaginable consequences.

But these generals would not consider it. They think about how to win. And rely on the victory of the war to get their best interests. However, the civil official group represented by Tian Heng temporarily controlled Qi's generals. Because their biggest reality is that there is indeed a big problem with logistics supplies.

"Our current situation is like this. We probably have more than 30,000 troops within 50 miles from Yandu, but the supply of these troops is in very poor condition." Tian Heng thought, and said to the general. The diplomatic situation is a waste of time. In order to hold this exhausted and unwilling army to take the initiative to stop as soon as possible. Tian Heng had to use the pressure of logistical supplies to stop these generals.

"For an army of more than 30,000 people, the ration reserve is less than three days. In terms of ammunition, there are only more than 120,000 bullets. On average, there are at most six bullets per person. (Note, this is not a calculation error. It is an army of 30,000. It is impossible for all of them to be combat personnel. This also includes some artillery, logistics support personnel, doctors and other special logistics arms.) If we count the artillery shells, our artillery is even worse. The number of artillery shells is extremely rare. Plus, it's winter, and our soldiers don't even have winter clothes. Think about it, our general. Can you stand your soldiers getting cold in the winter?" Tian Heng asked.

The generals of Qi underneath were speechless. Although they longed for victory, they still knew a little bit. Only when soldiers are fed and energetic can their morale be restored, so that soldiers can take up their weapons and return to the battlefield. If that weren't the case, there would be no way to win on the battlefield. Worst of all, if this continues, low morale will cause soldiers to flee the battlefield. If the above is urgent, it is likely to cause mutiny. This situation is not uncommon. It's that they see too much.

The generals finally had nothing to say. Then Tian Heng successfully persuaded the generals of Qi to stop for a temporary rest. After a slight recovery in morale, a certain amount of logistic supplies were hoarded. Will continue to attack.

Just when Qi Jun discussed it and stopped. The Qin army and the armies of other countries are in the midst of intense mobilization. The situation has been quietly undergoing some changes.

"All the soldiers gather. Hurry up." In a small town in the east of Zhao State. This small town is the terminus of the Eastern Railway of Zhao State. Due to the slower development in the east. Although the terrain is open here. Conducive to the cultivation of crops. However, development is slow due to lack of abundant mineral resources. Therefore, there is only one railway passage here. There is still three hundred miles away from the border of Yan State.

"Assemble, hurry up." Sergeant Zhao Jun shouted loudly, carrying a revolving rifle with a magazine on his back.

"Wow." This is a group that has just stepped off the train, most of them are recruits. They have just received twenty days of military training. They will be very limited. But before going to the battlefield, they finally have a certain ability. That would pull the bolt and pull the trigger. Have a certain ability to adapt to gunshots. Nothing else.

As the military director of this unit, Li Zuoche was very dissatisfied with the performance of his unit. But he couldn't do anything. He could only shook his head.

The queue station is in a mess. If there is no effective control on the battlefield, these people are likely to lose control under the concentrated fire. In this regard, Li Zuoche had the worst plans.

Worse still, the order they received was very sudden. The training was originally going to be carried out for three months, but it has been reduced again and again. Three months became two months, and later became one and a half months. In the end it became a month. For this reason, Li Zuoche can only modify the training syllabus. But even so, the troops had just been training for more than 20 days before they were suddenly moved. Participate in military exercises. At this time, Li Zuoche was very dissatisfied. But on the way in. They got the order again. That is, their team was reorganized into a volunteer army. In other words, they are now going to enter the country of Yan to fight. This result really surprised him.

Time is too tight. For Li Zuoche, a lot of training was not completed. Not only training, but also a large number of weapons and equipment have not arrived. Especially machine guns. The number of machine guns is very scarce. There are only two machine guns in the battalion. Many machine gun teams do not have machine guns. They don't even have weapons for protection. Don't mention the artillery. They have never seen it before.

Even the latest rifle issued to them. It is only equipped with more than half. Some soldiers still use old-fashioned trap rifles. They had never accepted how to shoot new rifles before. Even some soldiers have become accustomed to old-fashioned rifles and have a strong sense of rejection of advanced new-style rifles. It is such a team that hastily entered the battlefield. He didn't know that General Zhao Guo was crazy. Or the order that was given is an absolute idiot. Or a layman will lead them in battle. In fact, it was Guo Kai who did not understand anything that gave the order to dispatch troops. Despite Li Mu's unusual opposition, it was of no avail.

This is Zhao's closest unit to Yan. But they still have three hundred miles to go. Except for Zhao Jun. There is Yan Jun. The members of the Prince's Army are docking at the Xinzheng Railway Station in South Korea.

"Let’s take a look at the new leather boots. Soldiers take a look. This is the new model. It’s up to him to go on the battlefield and run back and forth. Maybe he can save his life." A Korean vendor held two pairs in his hand. The leather boots shouted loudly. The princelings advance at an unusually slow pace. Especially here in Xinzheng.

Xinzheng is an important train transportation hub. There are so many people coming and going here. The flow of people is also very large. Especially in the railway station, the flow of goods and people are intertwined, and the management here is also very chaotic. The Qin people manage the train transportation, but the Koreans manage the right to in and out of the goods. The Qin people will leave the train when they arrive, but the Koreans will fill the train as much as possible. In this way, both sides are in conflict. There are gaps in management. Therefore, after the princelings arrived in Xinzheng, they stopped. Because no one does not care how they get to the front line.

The people of Qin were ordered to send it. The Koreans have a lot of goods to go. Double hair is persistent. As a result, a large number of soldiers were stranded at the railway station. And so many soldiers, all at once attracted vendors from all walks of life. They found that these soldiers were very rich. And you want everything. As a result, all kinds of cheap goods produced in South Korea flooded into the train station frantically. The Prince Edward has also become a crazy shopping army.

Fashionable blended coats of various colors, various trendy styles of leather boots, and various delicacies have become things that soldiers are happy to consume. So Xinzheng became even more chaotic.

The princes stopped at Xinzheng and stopped advancing. As for the Qin State. In addition to actively mobilizing the space army, as well as various aviation arms, not many ground forces are mobilized. But the folks are quite enthusiastic. They took out their weapons one after another, clamoring to rescue the three hundred soldiers. But Qin State did not have specific orders. They cannot act without authorization.

This is the mobilization of all parties. As for Qi State. Qi Jun finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Suddenly." The machine gun fired three bursts. The "Tututu" machine gun fired three shots again. Qin's machine gunner is shooting at the wounded soldiers of Qi that have not yet died.

After a night of crazy attacks. The Qi army finally stopped launching the offensive at dawn. The cost of their casualties is too high. Approximately more than two thousand people were killed in action. There are still a large number of wounded soldiers in need of treatment. And this number exceeds more than three thousand people. More than half of them were seriously injured.

And Qi Jun's crazy overnight attack also achieved some results. The Qi army occupied a section of the outer defensive fortifications of the warehouse and established certain defensive positions. But the casualties were too heavy. Qin Jun also suffered a certain loss. Thirty-seven people were killed. More than 120 people were injured and 21 were seriously injured. After the defensive line is contracted, it can barely be defensive, but the problem will be much more serious next. Because the two sides are no longer fighting in the open. The Qi army and Qin army can engage in short-soldier combat. Qin Jun could only strengthen his guard.

"Quickly arrange the barbed wire and hook the grenade to the hook." A Qin Army sergeant ordered. The soldiers set up new barbed wire positions. At the same time, pull up the grenade for defense. Qin Jun stepped up his guard.

As for the Qi army. They are very dissatisfied with their offense. Because, regarding the tower, they have made no progress at all. The Qin Army deployed a certain number of twin machine guns on the tower. These machine guns occupy the commanding heights, so the killing effect of the Qi army is very large.

The runway leading to the tower was full of corpses. These corpses were the result of machine gun fire. More than half of the casualties of the Qi army were here. It's open here, and there is nothing to hide. Therefore, there are heavy casualties here. And after a fierce night of fighting, he charged. Qi Jun didn't even separate the connection between the warehouse and the tower.

"We have to think of a way. We can't charge like this. We have to solve this problem as soon as possible." The general said with a headache.

"Are you taking that person's suggestion and digging a trench to besiege the Qin army?" a Qi army officer asked.

"Trenching, siege?" The general thought for a moment.

"Yes." The officer nodded.

"Well, that's the only way." The general nodded and agreed. There is only this way. Because the casualties were too great for the direct charge attack. The general began to regret it a little.
