Chapter 1351: Han Banner World (Forty-One) 4 Clouds Move (One)
Jiang Fu is now the battalion commander. In more than two years, his promotion can be described as extremely rapid. More than two years ago, he was still a small soldier, extremely unfamiliar on the battlefield. With his platoon leader, a fourth A teenage man nicknamed Crab survived because of the help of many people. In a big battle, Crab protected him, but he died. At that time, both of them were actually tired of the war. They once wanted to leave the army and live a good life somewhere where no one knew them. However, fate played a trick on people and Crab died in Jiang Fu's arms, and Jiang Fu also Finally returned to the army.
Jiang Fu's regiment was almost wiped out in the battle that was flanked by cavalry, and Jiang Fu who survived seemed like a different person. War is the place where a person can grow best. The army was reorganized and the nearly annihilated 81st Regiment was rebuilt. Jiang Fu replaced Crab and became a platoon leader.
In the past two years, Jiang Fu trained so hard that everyone else was stunned. He was eager to avenge Crab, absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. On the training ground, he worked hard to learn the skills to kill enemies. Commander Li Mingjun invited junior officers from other fraternal units who were proficient in various enemy-killing skills to give them special training, and he was always the one who received the most praise. After getting off the training ground, Jiang Fu supported his tired body and ran to learn how to read. Compared with other departments of the Han army, the Twentieth Army had too few literate people. In other armies, many ordinary soldiers were literate. , but in the Twentieth Army, many mid-level officers glanced at each other, and they still relied on the oral relay of the ordering soldiers to convey orders. Li Mingjun also recognized this gap and ordered all mid-level officers to be literate, otherwise they would be stripped of their military uniforms and ordered to change jobs. However, there was no mandatory requirement for Jiang Fu, who was still a platoon leader at the time. But Jiang Fu voluntarily joined the ranks of learning to read.
For these people, it is much more difficult for these people to learn to read than to have them sweat on the training ground or bleed on the battlefield. Intermediate officers are required to learn by military order, and there is no mandatory requirement. Junior officers. It is extremely rare for people to work as hard as Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu learned Chinese characters one after another through a more difficult process than on the training ground. He learned to read and draw pictures, learn to write military briefings, and learn to summarize training and operations. This made him stand out among hundreds of junior officers in the Twentieth Army. In two years, he was promoted all the way. Inadvertently, he became the fastest-promoted officer in the 20th Army.
Returning to his troop station from the regiment headquarters, Jiang Fu looked at the soldiers sweating profusely on the training ground and laughed from the bottom of his heart. It was finally time to start. Instead of alarming the troops, he returned to his dormitory, picked up a bottle of wine, bought a roast chicken from a restaurant outside the station, and walked out with it.
Not far from his station, there is a tomb beside the creek. That is his old commander. It is also the resting place of his savior, the crab.
"Brother Crab, we are going on an expedition." Sitting in front of Crab's grave, Jiang Fu raised his neck and took a sip of wine, poured some more into the grave, tore off a roasted chicken leg and placed it in front of the grave.
"I will definitely avenge you this time, I know,
The Qin army that attacked us that time was stationed in Lubin. This time our 20th Army was the vanguard, and our battalion was the first batch of attacking troops. "
"I'm the battalion commander now! I have thousands of good brothers under me! Brother Crab, don't worry, compared to two years ago, we are now well-trained and well-equipped. We have many powerful weapons, these Weapons, we didn’t even hear about them two years ago!”
"Brother, I own a set of armor. This kind of armor is specially made. It is only equipped for officers above the battalion level. It is very light. The whole set weighs just over ten kilograms on the body, but its protective capabilities are much heavier than those that weighed several dozen kilograms before. It’s much better. I heard that one set costs several hundred yuan, so it’s impossible to equip every soldier with it.”
"There is also a grenade that looks like a melon. It is a gunpowder weapon. If we had this kind of weapon back then, we would not have caused the Qin army to disperse in a single charge. With it, we would have destroyed no matter how many cavalrymen there were. Hey , It seems that this kind of weapon has not been developed yet!”
"Brother Crab, we are very strong now. We have never been stronger. You don't know. In the past two years, the Qin people have not dared to come out. They can only hide behind and desperately build fortifications. But they can build it." No matter how many, it will still be vulnerable to attack in our opinion. A force that dares not fight in the field will have no way out. The fierceness of the Qin people is completely lost now."
"Brother Crab, I went to Changping some time ago. I burned incense and paper for your son there. I also bought a pot of wine and poured it over there. The King of Han built a grand monument there, with the inscription on it For those Zhao soldiers whose names I can find, I also reported your son’s name, and he was also engraved on it.”
"Brother Crab, after I finish fighting Qin, I will retire and go home to find a wife and have several babies. Don't worry, I will adopt one of my sons to you and give him your surname. Passing incense. My life is given to me, and I will not let your family stop offering cigarettes."
Sitting in front of the grave, Jiang Fu took a sip, poured another sip in front of the grave, and continued to hold it in his mouth until the pot of wine was drained. He ate half of a roast chicken and the other half was piled neatly on the table. In front of the crab's grave. Jiang Fu pulled away the dirt and buried the roasted chicken.
Standing up, Jiang Fu straightened his military uniform and solemnly performed a military salute, "Brother Crab, I'm going. You have a spirit under the spring. Please bless your brother that I will be invincible and invincible."
Jiang Fu turned around and walked firmly into the distance facing the sunshine.
In the early morning of June 5th, with just a trace of white fish belly showing on the horizon, the Twentieth Army of the Han Dynasty's First Military Region in Jinyang suddenly launched an attack on the Qin Army's Lubin Defense Area. More than 20,000 troops of the Twentieth Army were divided into three assault arrows. They launched massive attacks on Xiyangping, Tianjiaping and Huangshiping respectively.
Jiang Fu's 81st Regiment mainly attacked Tianjiaping. Tianjiaping was the prominent point of the forward position of the Qin Army's Lubin Defense Zone. It was also the fortress city with the largest number of Qin Army troops stationed in it. The city was not big, only two hundred meters long and not wide. It is only more than 60 meters long and is a pure military fortress. It was originally made of earth and stone. After the rise of cement in the Han Dynasty and gradually spread to various places, the Qin army also obtained a large amount of cement through various channels and used it in In the reinforcement of the fortress, of course, it is impossible for the Qin army to build a reinforced version of the fortress in some key places like the Han army, with steel bars as bones and cement as flesh.
Tianjiaping blocked the main channel to Lubin, the defense center, while Xiyangping and Huangshiping served as support for Tianjiaping Fortress. Both the scale of the fortress and the number of soldiers stationed there could not be compared with Tianjiaping.
The third battalion of the 81st Regiment led by Jiang Fu seized the main task.
"When the sun rises, our regiment flag will be planted on the top of Tianjiaping Fortress." At the regiment headquarters, Jiang Fu defeated several other colleagues who wanted to take the lead in the attack with a simple sentence, and successfully got this assignment.
There was a thin mist floating in the Tianjiaping Fortress in the early morning. Jiang Fu stared at the vague city wall in the distance. The old veteran's book said that the attacker should attack the city ten times and surround it five times. If the opponent has the will to fight, Exuberant, the attackers will have to pay several times the price of the defenders to capture it, but that's just the past. Touching the two cold iron figures beside him, Jiang Fu couldn't help but think of what the artillery instructor said. Under the powerful power of the artillery, any resistance would be reduced to ashes under his angry flames. Jiang Fu saw After the artillery instructors' drills, even the reinforced concrete structure of the big man was blown to pieces under the bombardment of artillery.
The alarm bell sounded on the opposite side, and countless figures could be seen flying around. It was impossible to hide such a large-scale operation from the enemy. What's more, the two armies had been facing each other for so long and had been preparing for war. , if there is any slight disturbance, the situation will immediately become tense.
"The engineer company breaks the barrier!" Jiang Fu pulled out his command knife and pressed it down heavily.
The loud sound of the bugle sounded, and the engineers holding various tools crouched forward and flew forward. Their mission was to pull out the antlers in front of the fortress, resist the horses, and hide in the grass. Some insidious ambushes filled in the ditches of different depths to pave the way for the main attack.
"The crossbow and artillery move forward, preparing to provide cover for the engineer company."
Following Jiang Fu's order, the two artillery pieces pulled by the horses began to move forward slowly, and then stopped when they were only about a mile away from the Tianjiaping Fortress. This was already the Tianjiaping Fortress. On top of the trebuchet, the bed crossbow shot the mileage out of the way. But for artillery, it is easy to attack the enemy from this distance.
However, the divine machine crossbow is still moving forward slowly. The range of the divine machine crossbow is much closer than that of the trebuchet and bed crossbow. They have to move forward to effectively attack the target.
There was a roaring sound in the air. Jiang Fu looked up at the sky. Several black stone bullets came through the air and crashed on the ground. There was a big hole in the ground. The Shenji Crossbow Team was only slightly stunned. After a pause, they began to move forward again, but their formation was now more spread out.
The bed crossbow began to scream, and more stone bullets fell from the air, hitting the engineers who were waving tools and trying to clear the obstacles. Some people screamed and fell down, and immediately someone stepped forward and dragged these fallen people away. .
"Artillery, fire." Jiang Fu roared: "You sons of turtles, let me show you how powerful we are."
The gunner worked hard to adjust the angle of the gun. Gunpowder was filled into the gun chamber, tamped and pressed tightly, and a solid bullet was loaded into the gun chamber.
"ignition!"
The torch moved towards the match rope, and while it was burning, the match rope quickly disappeared. There was a thunderous roar, and a large cloud of smoke suddenly rose up, blocking Jiang Fu's entire sight. The soldiers of the engineer company who were working at the same time coincidentally He raised his head and stared at the fireball in mid-air.
The fireball passed over the Tianjiaping Fortress and flew all the way to the rear. On top of the position, hundreds of people sighed in unison.
"Lower the range of fire by five degrees." The gunner remained unmoved and gave the order loudly. The muzzles of the two artillery pieces were lowered, the barrels were cleared, the charges were filled, and the ammunition was loaded.
"shooting!"
Two fireballs rose into the sky. (To be continued.)
