Lieutenant General Hatoyama of the Sun Nation's First Army's 1st Division was inspecting the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment's position. He had just been bombarded by the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's heavy artillery and suffered heavy losses.
"How are the casualties of the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment?”Jiu Shan said in a deep voice.
"Regiment Commander, we have calculated that we have lost a total of 56 cannons, 12 heavy cannons, 44 light cannons, and 80% of the artillery shells. Only 20% of the artillery in the rear was not sent to the camp, so they were not blown up. Our artillery has lost 90% of its strength. In any case, we only have a dozen cannons left. Now, they could only let the Light Artillery Wing operate the Heavy Artillery Wing.”The 1st division chief of staff replied.
"This is the only way now! Report to the base camp to urgently dispatch a batch of heavy artillery, especially artillery shells.”
"Yes, sir! Major general, I will report to the headquarters immediately."
Wang Zhizhen of Nine Links City found Li Canghai and asked him to transfer out a portion of his artillery. Now that he could exchange for mortars, Wang Zhizhen planned to exchange for a batch of mortars and then continue the night attack to catch the 1st division outside the city off guard. He hoped that it would be a good start.
Wang Zhizhen had already made up his mind to wipe out the Sun Nation's army outside the city. If he could use mortars and heavy artillery to cooperate with them, he hoped to wipe out the 1st Brigade and 1st Division outside the city. There should only be 20,000 soldiers outside the city, and there were 20,000 soldiers under Ryan and 5000 new soldiers under Wang Zhizhen's command. If they worked well, they should be able to deal a heavy blow to the Sun Nation's army outside the city. These troops of Nine Links City had been under the bombardment of the Sun Nation's army. Therefore, they would never have thought that the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army of Nine Links City would launch a night attack tonight. If they could catch the Sun Nation's army off guard, their chances of victory should be very high.
Mortar 60mm, 3500 dollars; 82mm, 5000 dollars.
"Exchange for 36 60mm mortars and 24 82mm mortars!”
"36 60mm mortars, a total of 120,000 dollars. 24 82mm mortars, a total of 120,000 dollars. 1000 conversation grenades, a total of 20,000 dollars, a total of 260,000 dollars.”
"After deducting 260,000 dollars, the balance is 5.3 million dollars.”
Even if you're familiar with the mortars 'capabilities, we'll sneak an attack on the troops outside the window at 100 PM tonight to see if they can do it. The enemy's army will depend on your mortar brigade.
Yes, my lord. I will try my best to bring them to familiarize themselves with it as soon as possible. Please rest assured, my lord. They are all confirmed to be first-class experts. I think this kind of artillery shell is very easy to operate. Don't worry, my lord.
"I was worried about you, so I tried my best to exchange for a batch of training bullets. They had to train as soon as possible today. After dark, they had to rest. There would be a night battle at night!”
That night, Wang Zhizhen led his 5000 new troops and Ma Kun led the 10,000 patrol troops to attack the Sun Nation's army outside the city. This was because the Sun Nation's army did not expect the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army in the city to come out and attack at night. There was no reaction at all. First, Wang Zhizhen used the mortar team to bombard the Sun Nation's 1st division's barracks indiscriminately. After the bombardment, they launched an all-out attack. The mortars could fire up to 37 rounds per minute. Those who were skilled could fire one round per second. After ten rounds, only ten seconds had passed. Wang Zhizhen personally led 5000 recruits to attack first. Ma Kun led the 10,000-strong patrol unit outside, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The entire camp was bombarded into a mess.
First, Wang Zizhen used 2000 grenades to bombard indiscriminately. First, she threw 1,000 grenades over. Then, she threw another wave of grenades ten steps later. Instantly, the Sun Nation's army inside was blown up. There was no way they could withstand the double bombardment of mortars and grenades. The cavalry battalion led by Li Canghai broke into the main camp first. They wore three grenades and charged into the main camp after they threw them.
Jiu Shan did not expect the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army in the city to attack them. Jiu Shan and the Chief of Staff headed towards the two camps respectively. At this moment, the First Brigade also moved.
The Sun Nation's army outside the city was made up of 4500 soldiers from the 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade, and the auxiliary heavy regiment. Other than the 8500 soldiers from the 1st Regiment, the 1st Brigade also had 8500 soldiers. The losses were very small, with 500 casualties, while the auxiliary heavy regiment had no casualties.
Hatoyama led the 1st Regiment to hold off the attack from the east, while the Chief of Staff led the 1st Brigade to hold off the attack from the west. Although they were very tenacious, the normal timing of the battle had passed. They were surrounded by 15000 people. First, Wang Zhizhen did not fight with them. They were prepared to use the most intense artillery fire to attack the camp. He used the heavy machine gun to the extreme. There were no traffic trenches in the camp. When Wang Zhizhen attacked the trenches of the Sun Nation's army, this battle was already destined.
Jiu Shan did not expect the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army to break through the first line of defense so quickly. The Sun Kingdom had been the main attacker from the beginning, so they did not pay much attention to digging trenches. The first trench was only one and a half miles away from the main camp. The cavalry battalion only needed two to three minutes to reach the entrance of the main camp. At this time, Jiu Shan did not know that the main camp was guarded, but he did not know that the camp had been broken through. He tried his best to use all the materials in the camp to block the attack of the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army, hoping to last until dawn and then break out.
"Report! Lord, our army has suffered heavy losses. Hatoyama has set up many heavy machine guns in the 1st division camp, and the surroundings are flat ground.”
"The mortar team will continue to bombard the camp indiscriminately. The rest of you, continue to attack the camp. Set up the machine guns and use the maximum firepower. If he retreated now, he would become a live target.”
"Li Canghai, go and inform Ma Kun to dig a trench behind the enemy camp. "Even if we can't annihilate them today, we have to surround them. We definitely can't give up such a good opportunity. If we retreat now, we'll all become targets.”
Lieutenant General Hatoyama led the Sun Nation's army. Although he killed and injured a portion of the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army, Wang Zhizhen dug trenches on the spot and surrounded the Sun Nation's army in the camp.
Right now, the mortar team was still bombarding the enemy indiscriminately. The entire cannon barrel was already red from the fire, and 12 heavy machine guns were scrapped. It could be seen how tragic the war was.
