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

Chapter 5: Cannon Attack the City, Battle Resolved in 2 Hours

"Get on the city wall, everyone, get on the city wall, and stop them!"

When Wang Jiahui found out that this unit was actually Jiang Hua, he knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides and they could only fight to the death.

"Since you won't let me live a good life, then no one will live a good life. I, Wang Jiahui, will bite off a piece of your flesh even if I die."

So after returning to the West City Gate, Wang Jiahui gave orders at the top of his voice.

A large number of soldiers from the 8th Regiment rushed onto the city wall.

A number of imitation Czech light machine guns and Type 24 Maxim heavy machine guns were moved up, totaling more than 20 light and heavy machine guns.

These are all the machine guns of the 8st Cavalry Battalion and the th Regiment.

It was precisely because of the large number of machine guns that he was able to occupy the transportation hub of Chishan County.

With these machine guns outside the city walls, I don’t know how many enemy attacks have been repelled.

Therefore, Wang Jiahui placed all his hopes on the strong city defense and machine guns.

This is all the strength he can muster.

Now we can only hope that the other side doesn’t have cannons.

But I think it's unlikely.

So many troops appeared here silently, perhaps relying on these trucks.

Force your way through other warlords' defenses.

The cannon is so heavy that it can't be moved at all.

Of course, these were just words he said to comfort himself.

However, the regiment commander Jiang Tianming did not give Wang Jiahui any hope.

Just as a large number of soldiers from the 8th Regiment were setting up fortifications on the city walls, 24 122mm howitzers roared deafeningly.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

The muzzle flashed, and shells flew out of the barrel, whistling towards the distant Chishan County.

The shell drew a graceful arc in the air, which was very eye-catching.

"That is......"

When black spots appeared above the west city wall, a large number of soldiers noticed this scene, including Wang Jiahui.

When Wang Jiahui took a closer look, he was immediately frightened to death.

"Cannon...cannonball!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of shells came pouring down.

In an instant, extremely dense explosions occurred.

Some shells fell on the open space outside the city, some hit the city walls, and some shells flew over the walls and landed on the buildings behind them.

“Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…”

The 122mm caliber grenade is quite powerful and is considered heavy artillery level in ancient countries.

When the shell hit the city wall, it directly blew a hole, and countless brick and stone fragments flew around like sharp swords.

Two more shells landed on the city gate tower and smashed directly into it.

In an instant, extremely violent energy was released, and the city gate tower was enveloped in the flames of the explosion. The soldiers of the 8th Regiment nearby were blown away, and even a Maxim machine gun flew out.

In the violent explosion, the sturdy city walls suddenly became shaky and the earth was shaking slightly.

The power of the cannon was demonstrated at this moment.

Shells began to fall one after another.

The soldiers of the 8th Regiment on the west city wall were immediately thrown into great chaos.

In such a narrow area, it is impossible to hide.

So some people just picked up their weapons and ran towards the city.

But what greeted them were the merciless bullets from the supervision team.

Wang Jiahui knew it was all over when he realized that the other party had a cannon.

But it is absolutely impossible to ask him to surrender. Now he has only one way, and that is to fight to the death.

But he wanted to fight to the death, but the soldiers of the 8th Regiment did not want to fight to the death.

As soon as the cannon sounded, their morale plummeted.

However, with the presence of the supervision team, the soldiers of the 8th Regiment had no choice but to return to the city wall to be bombed.

They all hid behind the battlements and could only hope that the shells would not fall on their heads.

The 122mm caliber shells came crashing down like they were free.

Under the skilled operation of the artillerymen, each gun maintained a stable maximum firing rate of 5-6 rounds.

Moreover, with continuous calibration, the accuracy of the shells became more and more accurate, and more and more shells fell on the city wall.

Although the city walls of Chishan County were relatively strong, they could not withstand the continuous bombardment of 122mm artillery shells.

One section of the city wall collapsed after being hit by four artillery shells in a short period of time.

As smoke and dust spread, a gap of more than two meters appeared in the western section of the city wall.

But this gap is still too small for the first battalion.

So more cannons were aimed at the collapsed section of the wall to widen the gap.

As the city wall collapsed, the soldiers of the 8th Regiment on the wall were in an uproar.

They saw with their own eyes that the soldiers on that section of the city wall were swallowed up by the collapsed wall, and their fate can be imagined.

"Run, or you'll die!"

The city walls became the most dangerous area.

Then a large number of soldiers rushed towards the road under the city wall.

At this time, Wang Jiahui had no choice but to let the supervision team go.

The city walls can no longer be defended, and now we can only hope to defend these gaps.

A few minutes later, with the efforts of hundreds of artillery shells, the gap had been expanded to more than 5 meters.

However, the 1st Battalion had not yet launched its attack.

The two artillery battalions continued to shift their targets, concentrating their firepower on the wall on the other side of the west wall.

They wanted to blast a gap here to disperse the enemy's defensive forces.

Looking at the shells falling like they were free, Wang Jiahui's heart sank to the bottom.

"Commander, let's run. I've had people check the east gate. There's no one there. We'll break out from there."

Wang Jiahui's trusted adjutant said with a hint of fear in his tone.

The cannons had scared the hell out of everyone.

"Run, do you think you can get away? They've already laid a net where you can't see it.

The reason why it is not fenced off is simply to leave us a glimmer of hope.

Leave one company on each of the other three walls, and gather the rest of the troops here. I'll fight them here."

After all, Wang Jiahui has fought in so many battles and has studied the Romance of the Three Kingdoms carefully. How could he not know such a simple truth?

This is indeed the case. Outside the East City, the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion each sent a company to set up a pocket formation here.

As long as Wang Jiahui dares to lead his men to break out from here.

The two companies held them back, and the second and third battalions surrounded them and swallowed them up.

The bombardment lasted for fifteen minutes, and several gaps appeared in the west city wall.

The first battalion took advantage of the artillery fire and moved towards the west city wall in a skirmish line.

Although there were sporadic gunshots during the period, no one fell.

Jiang Hua is currently broadcasting the war live through the base.

After seeing this scene, he stroked his chin and said, "It seems that we still need to equip the troops with tanks."

If there were tanks, the pressure of siege would be much less and there would be much fewer casualties.

However, tanks are a bit expensive, and he has insufficient funds, so he has not yet started production.

After this battle, the armored forces will be deployed.

Li Le is the squad leader of the first squad of the first platoon of the first company of the first battalion.

At this moment, their team rushed to the front with a three- or four-team assault tactic.

This three-four system is actually an enhanced version of the three-three team tactics.

This reinforcement is the machine gun group.

Responsible for suppressing the enemy's firepower and following the troops to cover the attack.

When Li Le and two scouts approached the city wall about 150 meters away, the shells stopped falling.

And extend the shooting to the rear.

As for whether civilians will be accidentally injured, we can no longer care about that now because this is a war.

It was impossible for Jiang Tianming to let his soldiers charge into the enemy's guns for fear of accidentally hurting civilians.

Although the artillery has been withdrawn, it does not mean that there is no artillery support.

The mortars immediately filled this gap in firepower.

One after another, 60mm and 81mm mortar shells drew an arc and landed behind the ruins of the gap in the city wall, continuing to suppress the enemy.

However, the power of the mortar is much worse than that of the 122mm howitzer.

So at this time, enemies with guns had emerged from the ruins of the gap, and bullets were whistling towards the direction where Li Le was.

But Li Le and others ignored the enemy's bullets and continued to rush forward with their backs crouched.

Soon enemies appeared in front of him.

Li Le immediately squatted down and fired a burst of shots with the Thompson submachine gun in his hand.

The enemies who popped their heads out to shoot at them were shot in the head.

The enemy's counterattack was met with even more ferocious firepower from them.

"Fizz..."

A chainsaw-like sound rang out behind them.

This is the sound made by the MG34 general-purpose machine gun. With short bursts of fire, the enemy is suppressed and cannot even raise their heads.

Soon they rushed forward hundreds of meters and were less than 50 meters away from the ruins of the gap.

At this distance, you can already see the enemy clearly.

"Bang bang bang..."

Intensive gunfire rang in Li Le's ears. Two scouts fired rapidly with M1 carbines, beating back the enemies that appeared.

However, one of the scouts was unlucky and was hit in the chest by a stray bullet, and fell down immediately.

"Medic, medic, someone's been shot here."

Li Le shouted immediately.

However, the sound of gunfire drowned out his voice, and the medical staff were very busy.

Li Le gave up and continued to attack forward.

The distance of 50 meters was very close, and Li Le led his squad to be the first to climb over the gap.

At this time, the enemy's counterattack became more and more fierce.

"Grenade!"

A soldier took out an M39 offensive grenade and threw it up, and immediately screams came from behind the ruins.

Li Le climbed up using his hands and feet. At a glance, he saw seven or eight people hiding behind the ruins. They were looking at Li Le, who was standing like a god of war, with astonishment.

Li Le reacted very quickly and picked up the Thompson submachine gun in his hand and started firing.

The sound of gunfire rang out like a typewriter.

The Chicago Typewriter lived up to its reputation; it was a bit heavy, but its firepower was indeed very fierce.

Several people were knocked down immediately, and the rest simply dropped their weapons and ran away.

More and more soldiers rushed into the gap.

Not only did the soldiers of the 8th Regiment have poor weapons and equipment, but their morale had also plummeted to the bottom due to the artillery bombardment.

When the first battalion rushed into the gap, they scattered like birds and beasts, each one running faster than the other.

As the city gate opened, more than 800 people from the first battalion rushed into the city and began to attack deep into the city.

A battalion commander led a company directly along the main road of the county town.

The rest of the troops were divided into squads and platoons, spreading out in all directions to encircle and suppress the enemies scattered throughout the city.

The current Wang Jiahui is in a state of complete defeat.

The attack of the first battalion was so fierce that the West City defense line defended by more than a thousand people collapsed in an instant.

As the commander, Wang Jiahui could only lead the 1st Cavalry Battalion of more than 500 people to hide in the urban area and fight stubbornly.

When the city walls served as a line of defense, they were no match and collapsed at the first touch, and this was even more so now.

Although the 1st Cavalry Battalion was the strongest force under his command and was well-equipped.

But it was completely inadequate in front of the First Battalion.

And now it’s not just the West City that has collapsed.

The defense lines of the South City and the North City also collapsed due to the collapse of the defense line of the West City.

The main forces of the second and third battalions also rushed into the city.

The regiment does have some experience in street fighting.

After suffering a series of setbacks, Wang Jiahui could only make a final struggle with his remaining troops.

In just less than two hours, Wang Jiahui was forced into a desperate situation.
