Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 12 The Deterrent Power of Large Caliber Heavy Artillery

At this moment, Han Yi had retreated all his forces to the county town of Guyu, and with the county town as the core position, he built a large number of outer defense positions outside the city.

A large number of bunkers and hidden bunkers have been arranged on these defensive positions, and the fortifications are relatively complete.

He had more than 6,000 men under his command. Except for an infantry regiment of more than 1,000 men stationed in Dongsui County, the remaining three cavalry regiments and guard battalions all gathered in Guyu County, preparing to fight a city attack and defense battle with the regiment.

Han Yi is still very confident about this battle because his foreign aid has arrived.

It was the 630th Regiment of the th Infantry Brigade of the Saibei Army, which was the elite force of the Saibei Army.

Take the Seventh Brigade for example. Although it is just a brigade, it has nearly 10,000 soldiers.

The 630th Regiment is not only powerful in combat, but also has luxurious weapons and equipment.

一个团装备马克沁重机枪12挺,82毫米迫击炮6门,37毫米战防炮4门。

And each squad was equipped with a Czech light machine gun.

This equipment configuration is definitely among the top ones among warlords.

The arrival of the reinforcements also gave Han Yi's troops a shot in the arm. Some officers were even impatiently waiting for the next regiment to attack.

However, Han Yi did not let the 630th Regiment enter the city, but instead asked them to hide in Dayou Village, Dongfeng Town, about 7 kilometers away from Guyu County.

This certainly did not mean that he did not trust the 630th Regiment and did not dare to let them enter the city, but that he was planning to ambush the regiment.

Wait until a group of people crash into their defensive positions and get beaten to a bloody pulp.

If the 630th Regiment rushes out from the rear as a surprise force at this time, then victory in the war will belong to him.

Qi Tianhe, commander of the 630th Regiment, also agreed to his battle plan.

After the victory, he would not only gain the territories of Chishan County and Jianping County, but also receive more support from the Saibei Army.

It is even possible to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the entire central and northern regions of Beire Province.

He competed with Tang Yuanhai, the governor of Beire Province, and achieved great success.

Therefore, the group did not encounter any obstacles along the way and arrived at Guyu County very easily.

Regiment Commander Zhao Qi came to a small hill on the front line and looked carefully through a telescope at the Guyu County City, which was like a giant beast crawling on the plain.

Outside the city, the positions are clearly crisscrossed, and the bunkers and hidden bunkers are distributed very densely.

Coupled with the numerous machine guns on the city walls, it would probably cost a heavy price to capture this county town without cannons.

"This Han Yi is indeed quite something, but it's a pity that he met me, Zhao Qi, the powerful Red Alert Corps."

Zhao Qi put down the telescope in his hand and said with a smile on his face.

The chief of staff asked, "How does the regiment commander plan to fight?"

Zhao Qi said without hesitation: "Since everything has been arranged and is waiting for us, we can't let him down.

Let the artillery go and tear down these positions and walls outside the city first."

Zhao Qi then added, "Let the tank troops form a mobile force. Once they find the enemy fleeing, they will immediately pounce on them and devour them all."

In addition to a regiment, he also had a medium tank battalion, a light tank battalion, a cannon battalion and a heavy howitzer battalion, which was a strong army.

The cannons he used this time were at least 122 caliber, and there were 18 152 caliber cannons.

These cannons were already strategic-level weapons in ancient countries.

Once artillery of this level is used, not to mention the small Guyu County, even the high-walled Shangjing City cannot be defended.

"Yes! I'll go notify the artillery position right away."

After learning that the 630st Regiment had arrived, Qi Tianhe, the commander of the th Regiment, came to the vicinity of Guyu County under the escort of guards.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the combat effectiveness of this army that suddenly appeared.

After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle, and this is also his motto.

You can also change your strategy according to the strength of the enemy.

"Commander, our reconnaissance team has begun to infiltrate their area.

But their defense is very tight, and infiltration and reconnaissance are very difficult."

Qi Tianhe was not surprised by this. If he wanted to infiltrate and conduct reconnaissance on the plain terrain, he could only wait until night.

It can be seen from a distance in broad daylight.

"I understand. Just watch from here. I want to see how strong this army Jiang Hua has assembled is."

Upon hearing this, the officer said with some disdain, "They're just a mob. I think we can just charge at them and crush them to pieces. There's no need to cooperate with Han Yi."

Qi Tianhe glanced at the officer, shook his head and said, "So you are just an adjutant, and I am the regiment commander. You must be cautious in battle. If you are not cautious, you will die."

After saying that, Qi Tianhe sat down directly on the low stool. Soldiers had already placed a coffee table next to him.

This is preparing to drink tea while watching the battle in Guyu County on the top of the mountain.

This also shows that Qi Tianhe did not take Jiang Hua seriously.

This is normal. What is his identity?

He is the commander of the main force of the Saibei Army.

In his opinion, the warlords' melee in Beire Province was just like children playing house. Except for Governor Tang Yuanhai, the troops there were basically no more than 10,000, which was not even as many as their brigade.

So just treat it as a lively event in Qitian River.

This time he really did see the excitement.

后方的炮兵阵地上,12门A-19型122毫米加农炮以及18门ML-20型152毫米重型榴弹炮整齐排布,炮口高高的昂起。

Although there are only 30 doors, the scene still gives people a great sense of oppression and visual impact.

"Target: Position outside of Guyu County, distance to target: meters, high-explosive bomb, one round loaded, azimuth 27-00, firing angle 06-08."

"put!"

As the command flag was waving forward, the gunners at all the gun positions pulled the gun ropes almost at the same time, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the artillery position.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

Loud noises exploded like thunder, and shells whizzed out of the muzzles, drawing arcs in the air and flying towards the direction of Guyu County.

The initial velocity of the A-19 cannon was much faster than that of the howitzer, so the 122mm shells arrived over Guyu County first.

Such a large-scale artillery bombardment could not have gone unnoticed by Han Yi's troops who were closely following the direction of the regiment.

"Bombardment!"

"The shells are coming, the shells are coming!"

"Cannons, they have cannons."

When Han Yi's soldiers in the outer positions outside the city saw the artillery shells coming at them with overwhelming force, the entire position immediately fell into chaos.

The soldiers hated their parents for not giving them two more legs, and they rushed straight into the position.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

The shells fell like meteorites, heavily hitting the positions outside the city.

The moment the shell hit the ground, flames of explosion burst out from the shell, and the fierce impact force swept around with fragments, destroying everything in its path like a ferocious beast.

Those soldiers who had not had time to hide in the bunkers of the position were immediately blown to the ground in the explosion, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The power of 122mm shells is still very great.

When the smoke from the shell dissipated, a crater several meters in diameter and nearly one meter deep appeared on the ground.

The bunkers and hidden bunkers they built were like paper in the explosion and were blown into the sky along with the shelters on the positions.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, larger and more numerous 152mm high-explosive bombs fell.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

In an instant, the flames of the explosion filled the positions outside the city, and the successive explosions engulfed everything around.

The earth began to tremble in the violent explosion.

The positions they dug looked like a joke to the 152mm heavy artillery, and several sections collapsed in one round of artillery shells.

The soldiers huddled on the city wall also felt that the temperature around them had risen by several degrees.

"Heavy artillery... It's a large-caliber heavy artillery. How is this possible..."

Qi Tianhe, who was watching the show outside the city, saw the whole thing.

He immediately stood up, his face full of shock and disbelief.

As a veteran who has experienced many battles, he can judge the approximate caliber of the artillery by the sound of the explosion.

Judging from the sound and movement of the explosion, the caliber is definitely 150mm.

This thing would never appear in Beire Province.

Although their Saibei Army also has equipment and even homemade 150mm howitzers, the gun barrels and other parts are all imported from outside, and they are only responsible for assembly.

Therefore, there are not many 150mm artillery pieces in the Saibei Army.

But judging from the scale, there are actually more than a dozen of them.

There are also more than ten large-caliber artillery pieces, which are much louder than the 105 guns and should be at the 120mm level.

It is simply a fantasy that 30 120mm and 150mm cannons appeared in a small battle of Guyu.

But the fact was before him: these waves of fierce artillery fire were not illusions.

"This... How is this possible? Captain, what should we do then? Should we continue fighting?"

The adjutant who had spoken so arrogantly before was also dumbfounded, his eyes filled with shock and confusion, then he looked at Qi Tianhe and asked.

Qi Tianhe sat down on the stool and had no intention of drinking tea at all.

"Fight? These cannons are no less numerous than our entire heavy artillery regiment. What's the point of fighting?

We have so few people, we are not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth with these cannons."

Qi Tianhe then stood up and said, "Let the troops retreat. The farther away the better. Don't get dragged into this."

Qi Tianhe is still very decisive.

The battle here is definitely not something he can handle with just one infantry regiment, let alone his 603rd Regiment. Even if the 7th Brigade came, it would not be enough.

Qi Tianhe retreated decisively, but Han Yi is now completely clueless.

When he saw the scale of the bombardment, he knew that he was in big trouble this time and that Guyu County would definitely not be able to be defended.
