With the emergence of new weapons, especially fortifications, barbed wire is like a wall, which can effectively defend against the large-scale impact of infantry and cavalry. At the same time, the emergence of machine guns makes it possible to quickly shoot and kill the opponent's limited soldiers, especially the emergence of artillery plus concealed fortifications. This makes the artillery's huge attack power and lethality multiplied. It is possible and easy to kill the opponent's soldiers on a large scale. 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 defense a greater ability to carry out defensive operations, especially the heavy machine guns have played an important role in the defense
But there is another weapon that gives the attacking party great destructive power. This is the heavy artillery. The caliber of the heavy artillery is more than five inches.
"Retreat and retreat" Yan Jun soldiers started to turn around and run away
"Come back to me, keep shooting, alternate shooting, retreat, don't turn around and run away." A Yan officer saw a soldier turn around and run quickly, so he grabbed him and asked him to shoot, even though the Qin army trained them Recruits also 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
"Bang, bang, whoosh" artillery shells whizzed by
"Bang" and then there was a huge sound, then the flames splashed like lightning and thunder, and finally there was a cloud of smoke rising
"Boom!" The ground began to tremble, and the retreating soldiers of the Yan army watched in horror as the bombardment flames of the heavy artillery continued to shine on the faces of soldiers who did not have much war experience. The awe of war
"The artillery of these big guys is too powerful," said a soldier of the Yan Army
"Hey" the veteran can only smile slightly, he has experienced such a battlefield
"Although I have not experienced such a large artillery attack, I have experienced worse scenes than this," the veteran began to talk about his story
"When I was a soldier in the Yan State New Army, we had to line up and attack in rows. At that time, the bullets were not accurate." The veterans quickly surrounded a group of new recruits. They hoped to use stories to divert their attention to the cannons. sense of awe and fear
"The bullets can't hit us at a distance of [-] paces, but within [-] paces, a row of guns will kill many people. If we shoot at a distance of [-] paces, more people will die like that. I saw with my own eyes how those powerful bullets penetrated the human body and how the blood splashed out," said the veteran
"When did this happen?" a recruit asked curiously
"At that time, our country of Yan was still fighting with the country of Zhao, and we relied on such tactics to defeat our opponents. We could see the opponent's face clearly at such a short distance, unlike now we are sometimes beaten to death even what the opponent looks like. I don’t even know who killed it, this is a damn war.” The veteran said that war is indeed cruel and very cruel
The veteran himself recalled that when the veteran was a soldier, it was the era of platooning guns. That kind of tactics required great courage and discipline. For this reason, even if people around you fell one after another, you can’t watch it, but keep moving forward. Keep moving forward. Only in this way can they survive. Those who fall will be quickly replaced by those behind. All soldiers have at most two chances to shoot. Before that, they just want their opponents to shoot as much as possible. Then you have to move forward continuously on this inaccurate distance
When they reached the optimal combat distance, they would stop and shout loudly with neat slogans. Aim and shoot. In the sound of a row of shooting, most of the opponent's personnel were hit and fell down. After three rounds of shooting began and ended, the opponent was about to fall. Many people then charged and used bayonets to kill those who were shot by three rows of muskets and were defeated.
"The most terrifying thing is not the volley of guns but the cannons. As long as the cannons are fired at a sufficient density, sometimes we just need to move forward," said the veteran.
"Have you ever seen a cannonball cut off the opponent's head? I've seen it ricochet. Those cannonball iron balls seen through the telescope look very slow. You can reach it with your hand, but that thing is really not a very good thing." Veteran said
"As soon as the shell hit the ground, a bunch of people fell down. Those people died terribly. I walked over to see that the whole body was smashed, bones, internal organs, and other things. In short, it looked very disgusting," the veteran continued.
"These shells then bounce off the hard ground and the shells fly over our heads and we can just say oh my god that's lucky"
"But the place where it fell is not so lucky. When the shell falls again, it will generate a lot of force. The force can easily knock off a person's head. I have seen a soldier's neck just like that. And that's how a headless corpse was born," recalls the veteran
"What happened to that head?" one of the recruits asked in surprise, apparently wondering what would happen if the shell hit the head.
"Head ha ha ha head" the old soldier suddenly laughed and said
"The head will become like water, like a ball of broken eggs." At this time, the recruits can't laugh even if they want to laugh. Their heads are like eggs in front of the shells. This is really unacceptable to them.
"Later, the machine gun was the scariest thing and chased us to fight." The veteran shook his head as he said, he really didn't want to recall anything. After all, war is cruel and not a very interesting thing.
At this time, the short-term offensive of the artillery was over
"All put on bayonets and attack again, all give me a good performance and don't be ashamed," the officer said as he shuttled back and forth.
"Damn the official, I really hope his head is a broken egg," said a soldier maliciously
"Hey," the other soldiers laughed dryly, aren't our own brains eggs? These recruits began to rethink the cruelty of war
"It seems that the heavy artillery is still very powerful." Wang Jian said happily. After the heavy artillery bombarded, the bunker fortifications over there were blown up, and the Yan army followed the armored tanks and finally occupied the opponent's position.
The tactics of artillery bombardment plus the charge of infantry and armored vehicles should be fine, but the shooting level of the heavy artillery troops of the Yan army is very limited and can only be completed with the help of the Qin army.
"If the war can continue in this way, I'm afraid we can let the Qi army go back to Qi," Wang Jian said to a senior officer of the Yan army.
Officer Yan nodded his head to express his approval. He didn't say anything about the others, so there's nothing to say.
"Okay, this is a telegram from ahead of you. It seems that you will go to the battlefield soon." At this time, Wang Jian took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to the Yan official, took it over, looked at it and put it away. This is a telegram for an expedition. The general meaning of the telegram is to let them follow the arrangement of the Qin army as soon as possible, get on the train from Xianyang, and then head to the war zone. They must hurry because the war situation is very unfavorable to the country of Yan.
And the situation in Yan State is indeed very unfavorable. Only the pilots of Qin State know how bad the unfavorable situation is.
"Buzzing" a Qin Guoying-style twin-engine two-man fighter flew over the head of a fast-advancing Qi army
"It's not good, it's the birds, everyone, hide quickly." A man with the appearance of a Qi army officer was alert when he heard a buzzing sound in the sky, so he looked up at the sky, but when he saw it, he was startled. I know Qin's planes are very annoying
"Scatter quickly, scatter!" The Qi army officer-like man shouted quickly and loudly
"Spread out" some veterans began to follow along with a loud yell
"Buzzing" At this time, Qin's fighter jets have already started to dive down towards the Qi army. The two machine guns in front are enough to form a powerful firepower to shoot at the face. Pilots generally think so.
The infantry has no good way to face the ground attack of the aircraft, even if they shoot with rifles, they can't cause a great lethal effect.
The soldiers of the Qi army slowly spread out to both sides, but it seemed a bit late at this time
"Buzzing" planes whizzing by
"Bang bang" a series of machine gun sounds and bullets hitting the ground
"Ah". A soldier of the Qi army was shot and made a terrible sound of **
"Woo" the plane was quickly pulled up
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang" while the pilot at the back as an observer was operating the machine gun behind and kept firing at the soldiers of the Qi army on the ground
Although the effect of this kind of strafing is not very great, it can cause the psychological fear of the escapees
"Run!" A soldier of the Qi Army shouted anxiously. They were very terrified of this kind of aircraft.
"Do we need to fly around again?" The Qin pilot wearing goggles shouted loudly
"Don't look at our fuel and bullets, we can't do it again, we have to return to the base," the pilot who flew the plane replied loudly
"Okay, that's it for today, today is really a day for the Qin Kingdom's Heavenly Army to celebrate, we actually shot two ground troops of the Qi Army," the pilot shouted loudly
"That's true!" The pilot in front shouted loudly. This is indeed something worthy of celebration for them, but it is not so easy for Yan Guo. On the contrary, they feel a lot of pressure.
After the Qi army captured the Yan army, the situation suddenly became clear. At this time, Yandu is less than 200 miles away from the Qi army's outpost, and this distance has already entered the patrolling and defensive position of Qin's heavenly army. But for Yan, Which means they don't have much time left
Between the Qi army and Yandu, there is no Yan army that can resist the rapid advance of the Qi army, which means that the fall of Yandu is only a matter of time. Now it depends on how long it takes.
But there is another army standing in front of them. This army is several airports of Qin State. Apart from the airport in Yandu, Qin State also has two airports deployed in the middle area of this location.
However, it needs to be pointed out that the number of aircraft at these two airports in Qin State is very limited, adding up to less than twelve aircraft, but the ground force exceeds a battalion of marines to defend them. They are the only ones capable of fighting at this distance. the troops
