Chapter 644 War of Attrition
Chapter 644: War of attrition
There is no doubt that this was a tentative process, with about 4,000 people besieging three prominent positions respectively. The commander of the Xinghai Army did not order artillery, but kept shooting these enemies holding cold weapons with platoons. Within an hour, the opponent could not hold on and retreated like a tide. After witnessing the battle, Chen Xie left with confidence.
A local puppet army with a white flag left the position and walked towards the opponent's gathering place. Although he was scared to death by swords and guns, he still explained his purpose tremblingly. The Ming Empire promoted the navy and allowed the Mughal team to collect the body, he would not launch an attack.
After hearing about this, Jia Han wanted to kill the traitor who came to communicate, but finally he held it back. It was very simple. The opponent allowed the corpse to be collected, which was an irresistible temptation for his army. If he refused, most soldiers would feel uncomfortable. How could they not collect the corpse? Agree, they would cause a lot of trouble for themselves. Not only were there people who died in battle, but there were also wounded people. If these people were not rescued, they would die in front of the positions. If they were rescued, they would have to be treated.
Not taking the life of a soldier seriously does not mean that he is so stupid that he does not understand the cruelty contained in this opponent's move. As long as he disagrees, the effect of morale collapse is absolutely good. If he agrees, it may not be impossible to hit morale. Just look at the injured soldiers. As long as he is shot, the injured part will definitely be a big eye. Lead bullets are not copper and iron, √,w○ww. The fragile attributes are very fatal and can easily turn into wounds like Dam bullets. Of course, Jia Han doesn't understand these, but he has seen the tragic situation of the injured person after he comes back.
Once the torso is hit, it is often difficult to cure the wounded, which is a significant psychological shock to every soldier.
The two evils were the least, and Jia Han did not hesitate too much. He nodded and agreed to this matter. After the simple agreement, there was an additional rule on the battlefield. Every time the battle ended, someone could be sent to collect the corpse. The problem is, at present, the Mughal Empire was collecting the corpse and accepting the goodwill of the opponent.
This is Chen Xie's cunning point. This place is different from Nanyang. In Nanyang, you can fight to exterminate tribes at any time, but it is not possible here. It is too far away, and the Indians are not as unruly as the natives in the south of Nanyang. They are of a relatively easy-to-taste type. So, while doing good deeds to attack the morale of the opponent, they can also change the locals' impression of the Ming Emperor team. Slay two birds with one stone. Why not do it? What if Jia Han refuses? Wouldn't that make a big profit?
Chen Xie doesn't have to worry too much about how to fight in the front. What he needs to care about is how to ensure the safety of the logistics line. If the stability of the occupied areas is ensured, the Indians and rape must be used well. Shaeryaer and his companions came to Chen Xie's command again. This time, Chen Xie's attitude was even gentler and asked them to improve the establishment of a new order as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the ground security. After all, it is now the army is approaching, so who knows how many people will be ready to move in secret.
At the beginning, these traitors were also quite uneasy, but after watching the first tentative battle on the battlefield, everyone was confident. This victory came too easily. No one was injured, and hundreds of corpses and injured were left on the other side. What else can hesitate? Quickly speed up the pace of ideological transformation. Be an traitor as soon as possible. If you want to be an traitor, you will be slandered by others.
The sky is getting late, the sunset is at a loss, and the lushness on the horizon indicate the fertility of this continent.
Jia Han's army retreated thirty miles to camp. There was no intention of surrounding him. When Chen Xie knew the news, he was watching the sunset in the continent in front of the window. "Is that so? What do you think?" He asked casually, and Xi was stopped. His eyes were very big. He stared at Chen Xie's back and looked at the tall wrapped in golden light. He couldn't help but give a very illusory answer: "The prince is the god of the world!"
Since he is a god, he is naturally omniscient. Chen Xie was injured by this answer. He looked back at the little girl and smiled and said, "The place with the most gods in this world is this continent. Well, is this time a battle between the gods?"
Xi was frightened: "'War of Gods', why didn't I see other gods?" Chen Xie couldn't help laughing. This Japanese girl, from the initial precautions to now, can trust her. Chen Xie has become more casual about some things. Do you believe in God? It's good to believe in God, it depends on what god you believe in?
Under the night, a group of black shadows quietly left the position and sneaked outside Jiahan's army camp. The two of them teamed up and quickly assembled a simple small rocket launcher. This trick is now a common trick by the Xing Navy. Relying on the range of the rockets, they harassed or suddenly launched a cover shooting at night.
Of course, Jiahan would not live in front. His headquarters was in Malaigang, a small city behind. He summoned his subordinates to discuss military affairs and did not sleep until late at night. He just fell asleep in a daze when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps and immediately woke up. Shah Jahan was a kind of love, and he had a deep affection for Taj, but he had never reunited after being widowed. He was always alone at this time and he couldn't sleep deeply.
"What's going on?" The eunuch next to him came in and said, "Go back to the emperor, the camp ahead was attacked by a fire attack."
After simple dressing, Shah Jahan came to the height of the city wall and looked at the fire outside the city. The continuous camp was lit, and the fire was extremely fierce. What happened? How could someone touch it in to prevent the fire?
After a short while of night, the fire stopped. Soon the generals in front came to report, and Shah Jahan realized that the opponent did not touch the camp at all, but released a rocket from a distance, causing the fire after falling into the camp. It should be said that his luck was very bad. This night attack was only fifty rockets, but two rockets fell into the forage feeding animals, causing a big fire immediately. In addition, there was a considerable wind at night, so the fire became uncontrollable.
In any case, although this night attack caused little casualties, it was a significant blow to the morale of the soldiers. Since it was not the fault of the post, there was nothing to say. Shah Jahan decided to launch a general attack immediately and could not give the opponent time and opportunity to continue to attack the morale of his own army.
The 200,000 army was besieged from all directions, and Shah Jahan would also surround San Que 1, hoping that his opponent would escape and he could pursue. But he soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought. The enemy built many strange fortifications on the periphery of the city and formed some protrusions. If he wanted to get close to the city wall, he had to take down these protrusions.
The first day of the battle was around these protrusions.
The company where Jiro Niu Teng was naturally the first to be hit. He was surrounded on three sides early in the morning, and no less than 2,000 people launched a decisive attack. With the help of the barbed wire, the volleyball effect was very good. He was repelled less than an hour of the first attack, and the subsequent development became a bit difficult. Because the opponent didn't care about the number of deaths at all, the team in front just retreated and immediately came up again. This time the attack was still forward with a fierce volleyball, which successfully made the first barbed wire lose its effect. He rushed to about fifty meters before being blocked by the barbed wire again. However, this time the enemy suffered greater casualties because it was covered by grenades at this distance. With just two rounds of grenade throwing, the army that looked fearless and death collapsed immediately.
But soon the third attack followed one after another. The artillery, who had been stubborn and unstoppable, suddenly showed its power, uncovered the hidden power, and opened fire with a shotgun, killing the enemy who tried to break through the second barbed wire back.
Now is the fourth battle, the barrel and gun barrel are red, and the grenades are almost consumed, and finally they have repelled the enemy. Liu Jiang, the life guide who has been fighting on the front line, came back from the front and found Jiro Niu Fuji who was frowning and observing: "Company Commander, you can retreat. The regiment headquarters has sent out a signal flare. If you don't retreat, you will be surrounded."
"How much ammunition is left?" Niu Teng didn't want to retreat, not because he was brave, but because this position was very important, just stuck at the ribs of the enemy's road to advance. In other words, as long as it is not lost here and wants to go around and attack the city, it will be hit from the back. "Not half of it, the enemy went crazy and attacked for a whole morning regardless of casualties. I saw that there were at least three thousand casualties in front of the position, but I just refused to stop."
"Assume the order!" Niu Teng immediately made a decision when he heard that there was not much ammunition. Taking advantage of the break from the attack, the company immediately retreated along the traffic trench. At a point behind, there were a lot of people and no one injured. The battle throughout the morning was a unilateral massacre.
The situation of other companies is similar, they all defend their positions and use long-range firepower to kill and damage the enemy. The specific results are unknown, but according to the results of their own company's battle, they killed at least tens of thousands of enemies in one morning.
After Chen Xie got the results, he was not surprised at all. The equipment gap was too big, and it was an asymmetrical battle. The only trouble was that the ammunition was consumed too much, and it was transported from the back to the front. According to the intensity of the morning's battle, the ammunition currently stockpiled can be fought for up to six days. In other words, he had to defeat his opponent on the fifth day.
The ones who were more concerned about the results of the battle were the Indians and traitors. They had been observing the battlefield carefully. When the battle ended and after one morning of battle, Sharyaer reported to Chen Xie with confidence: "Shajahan can't hold on for long. His most elite troops consumed 30% in one morning. If they continue to fight like this, they can't hold on for long." This sentence flashed for Chen Xie.
