Taking Down the County Town
"Everyone in the city, listen up. We are from the Chinese People's Army. You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender. This way, we can protect your lives. We guarantee with our reputation that we won't do anything to you. We are also Chinese, not bandits. We will give you ten minutes. Repeat! "People in the city, listen up…" A huge loudspeaker was broadcasting with all its might in the county town.
He repeated these words over and over again. After hearing these words, the militia soldiers on the city wall, as well as Zhou Zheng and the others, fell silent.
The militiaman who had asked Zhu Wei earlier came forward and asked shakily,""Guild Leader, what should we do? Should they continue to guard here or surrender?”
"Grow a brain and think about it. If these people say they are not bandits, then they are not bandits? There was no Chinese People's Army in their country, and bandits had no reputation. They just want to trick us out of the city so that they can deal with us!”Zhu Wei shouted angrily.
Anyway, he didn't plan to believe the people's army. Because as he said, bandits had no reputation. At most, they would occasionally be loyal, but that was with their own accomplices.
Moreover, even if it was with his own accomplices, these people would sometimes fight because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. It was impossible for Zhu Wei to believe these "bandits".
The soldiers under his command felt their spirits lift when they heard Zhu Wei's words.
The militia, who did not have much ability to distinguish these things, could only listen to the orders of the officers.
Meanwhile, outside the city, Zhang Yu was holding a pair of high-powered binoculars, watching what was happening on the city wall in the distance.
"Old Li, these guys inside probably won't give in. Order the troops to prepare for battle. Later, let the artillery battalion blow up the city gate tower first! Let's see how much resistance these guys can have.”Zhang Yu looked at the militiamen who were still standing at their posts and said unhappily.
Li Yunlong, who was standing beside him, chuckled and said,""Hehe, Commander, I've already told you that these militia are completely bullies. As long as they start fighting, they will surrender when the cannons sound and the soldiers charge.”
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll listen to you next time. I'm also trying to reduce casualties. After all, there will definitely be casualties if we charge.”Zhang Yu argued in embarrassment.
After hearing this, Li Yun Long didn't refute and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare.
At the artillery position a few kilometers away, the artillery commander also received a call from the front line.
"Brothers, get ready. The orders from above have come down. In five minutes, we will open fire as soon as I give the order! But remember, make sure that every shell hits the city wall. If any shell hits the city and the civilians inside! Then I'll definitely train you guys to death!”The two battalion commanders walked on the artillery position and said loudly to the artillery soldiers who were already in position.
After hearing this order, the artillery soldiers tensed up. After all, this was a local battle. Cannons were not rifles, so there would always be a little difference in accuracy. Therefore, they could only be cautious.
Ten minutes passed quietly. Outside the county town, Li Yunlong looked at the city wall, which was still quiet, and then said to the signalman beside him,""Inform the artillery to blast a hole in the city wall. Then, order the 1st Battalion to attack from the south. The 2nd Battalion will attack from the east and west. The reconnaissance company will guard the north.”
Following Li Yun Long's order, the artillery positions in the rear started their own operations.
The 24 105mm howitzers had all entered their first real battle since they came to this world.
The preparation time for this artillery fire was not long. Due to the lack of artillery shells, the artillery fire would last for a total of three minutes.
In these three minutes, each of the 24 howitzers would fire at least ten rounds. 240 rounds of artillery shells weighing more than 10 kilograms would bombard the old city walls.
As the first artillery shell flew out, a fireball appeared on the city wall a few kilometers away. A high explosive bomb weighing 16 kilograms was too terrifying for these brick walls!
Zhu Wei and the others, who were still on the city wall, immediately entered a state of confusion. When had they ever seen such heavy artillery?
The ordinary soldiers on the city wall were all trembling with fear. Many of them peed their pants on the wall.
One high-explosive round after another hit the city wall. Finally, a section of the city wall that had been hit by several rounds collapsed. The few militiamen who stayed on top were also pressed under the city wall. It seemed that they would not be able to survive!
Looking at this scene, some of the militia finally reached the brink of collapse.
"My mother! The Thunder God was furious! The Thunder God was furious! I want to go home, get out of the way, I want to go home!”A terrified militiaman stood up and wanted to run down the city wall!
Zhu Wei, who was still on the city gate tower, pulled out the shell spear at his waist and shouted,"Go back, don't run around. Get back!”
Just as Zhu Wei was brandishing his pistol to shoot the militia who was trying to escape, a grenade shell hit him ten meters away.
Zhu Wei, who was about to shoot, was immediately pushed away by the shock wave and fell to the ground unconscious.
Three minutes of artillery fire had caused the soldiers on the city wall to lose 80% of their combat power.
At the front line, the anti-tank cannons were also trying to create a hole for the soldiers to pass through with high explosive bombs.
Although these city walls could be considered ancient buildings and it would be a waste to blow them up like this, thinking about it carefully, when the city was built in the future, these things might have to be demolished. It was better to demolish them now.
After the bombardment, Li Yun Long, who was standing far away from the city wall, shouted,""Trummoner, blow the bugle!"
After hearing the order, the officer who had been waiting at the side immediately ran forward and the clear sound of the charging horn rang out.
Hundreds of soldiers charged under the cover of machine guns and mortars.
At this moment, the militia on the city wall did not even have the strength to counterattack.
Occasionally, a few soldiers wanted to raise their heads to counterattack, but they were suppressed by the machine gun fire and could not make any big movements.
However, after Zhu Wei fainted, a battalion commander on the other side came over and shouted helplessly at the militia,"Which one of you has a white shirt on? Hurry up and find something to hang up. How are we going to fight? We surrender, surrender!”
Some of the panicked soldiers who were squatting there immediately reacted when they heard what the battalion commander said.
Before the charging soldiers of the People's Army could reach the edge of the city wall, a slightly yellow white shirt had already risen from the damaged city wall.
After seeing this situation, Li Yunlong, who was standing at the edge of the city, said happily,"Disarm these people. Then, he would immediately confirm the situation in the city, appease the ordinary people, and capture the armed personnel.”
"Yes, sir!" After the soldiers heard the order, they slowly began to move.
