Wallace smoked a cigar and spat out a cigarette and said: "It's okay. India has already reinforced two armies. There are also two armies in the east that are moving closer to this place, and there is a huge encirclement on the periphery of the squadron. The domestic meant to eat the Qing army in one bite and not waste it with them. Now the empire has problems in Egypt, and there are wars in Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey. Next month we may appear in Iran to deal with the Russians."

"General, in my opinion, if the squadron is defeated, the military alliance agreement between Russia and China will be terminated. At that time, Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan will win without a fight, and Egypt will just send a colonial division to those trivial matters." The adjutant said proudly.

"Haha, cute Colonel Locke. You are so correct. At that time, the hungry Russian wolf may invade the northern part of China. However, we can attack the three southwestern provinces of China and Vietnam from Myanmar. China? It is always a lamb to be slaughtered!" Wallace continued to smoke a cigar.

"Since Napoleon's era, artillery was the god of war, and he could easily determine the outcome of the battle. In such an offensive and defensive battle, the Chinese artillery disadvantages will be infinitely amplified, and even many soldiers will fill such a vacancy. Their artillery was blocked by the mountains and could not be transported here." Locke said casually.

Just inside the headquarters, the British top military chief in Myanmar had a feeling of underestimating the enemy. Even when they were surrounded by squadrons, the soldiers under them were even more intense.

At the gate of the city, several idle sentries were smoking cigarettes and leaning on each other to chat. There was no tension before the war. At the same time, in the direction that the British observation post could not see, mortars and shells were transported to Feng Zicai's gunpowder position. When many artillery was still cast in bronze in the same era, these all-steel mortars looked particularly dazzling. The barrels had been painted into dark green like the Myanmar jungle, and the words "Jiangning Eleven" were engraved on them, which represented that they were manufactured by the Jinling Artifact Bureau in the 19th year of the Guangxu period. The Jiangning Eleven also became the first generation of mortars in the Qing Dynasty.

"Military Gate, we have more than 500 mortars for one gun to be worth a pot of the Japanese. Look, let me bring the 10th battalion of this gun to be a commando!" Wang Gang, who just graduated from the Army Academy last year, couldn't wait to say.

"Okay, young people have a strong momentum. I will help you, but I am the general who said ugly things ahead. I have issued a military order in front of General Zuo, and I can't take Mandalay's head and my head is different. If you can't take it down, I will chop your head first!" Feng Zicai touched the long beard on his chest and said threateningly.

"Don't worry, the veteran general, if you can't take Mandalay, don't shoot me, save a bullet. My tenth battalion of troops will guarantee that no one will withdraw from the battle alive and open up a life channel for the army to enter Mandalay." Wang Gang said firmly.

The sun eclipse is declining, and the night is low.

At this time, the night was as thick as ink that could not be melted. More than 2,000 people were hunched forward in such a dark and star-sparking environment. It was not that they didn't want to straighten their backs, but that the dozens of kilograms of carrying them on their backs pressed them down. In order to fight against the mosquitoes in the Myanmar jungle: they were all wearing tight-mouthed long clothes and trousers, and their clothes were dry and wet several times. The white color on the clothes was the salt in their sweat!

Finally, they arrived at the pre-estimated artillery position, and from here to the British position was exactly the standard range of the "Jiangning Style 11".

Boxes of shells were removed from their shoulders and built to the next to the mortar. The shells were wiped clean and the fuses were checked.

Chaos Rebirth Lord the Another World http://www.77nt/23488/Biaobiao Tong Cai Ning took out his pocket watch and looked at the time nervously. This was the first real battle between the veteran General Feng Zicai after entering Myitkyina. He had only had a battle with the British army in Myitkyina. However, the British army had no preparations in that battle, and did not expect the Qing Dynasty to participate in the war. So it was better to say that the British army was about to collapse at once. But this time it was different. The British army had complete fortifications and even had firepower advantages, which was the touchstone of their new army.

And what they are taking on this time is not an ordinary battle, but a textbook-like battle to fight aid. The so-called Go, while you surround me, I also surround you to see who is more angry!

Now, the situation is exactly the same. The Qing army surrounded Mandalay City, but a total of 170,000 troops were concentrated on the periphery of the Qing army, and surrounded them from the south.

If Mandalay cannot conquer and cannot defend outside, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no possibility of annihilation of the entire army. Even if you retreat to the occupied northeast, you will enter a primitive forest that cannot be replenished.

So, this is a battle that must be won.

"The old man said that if anyone embarrassed him this time, he would carry out a month of climbing training with Jiangning's 11th Style. That's not a job for humans." Cai Ning said to the mortar next to him.

The hour hand pointed to four o'clock in the morning, and the commando should be in place at this time. Cai Ning turned around and said, "There are all things, please see my situation and be prepared!"

One mortar was thrusting his chest, and the ammunition was on standby at the cannon vault with the shells. Everyone was trembling slightly. At such a close distance and such a high firing angle, it could explode on the enemy's position almost immediately as long as it was fired!

"put!"

A scream suddenly sounded on the originally silent battlefield, which was the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air. The awake British soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and saw black shadows smashing towards them. The artillery shells then released the most brilliant light on the British positions, and the sky to the north was illuminated in an instant.

It seemed like a strong wind blew on the British position. Countless soldiers hiding in the trenches were blown down by the strong wind composed of metal fragments. The trenches built by the British army had little effect on mortars with super-large firing angles. Even the bunkers were very helpless in the face of overwhelming shells. When several shells landed on a bunker at the same time, the British soldiers inside were buried alive.

The British soldiers curled up in the trench stared at the shells hitting them in huge arcs. The number of shells made them feel terrifying. Is the enemy using five hundred cannons to bombard us? Oh my God, did the squadron transport all their entire country's artillery, or is the Chinese artillery already rich to this point?

Almost all the mortar shells hit the British first and second-tier positions, causing the British firepower to completely stagnate. For a long time, the British army, who had been enjoying the use of superior artillery to collapse the enemy's positions and then launched the charge, finally felt the right feeling. The shells like cumulonimbus in the sky kept falling on their positions, bringing boundless terror.

When the cannon sounded, Wallace had just lay down. Today he discussed with several staff members to adjust some defenses so that his artillery advantages would be more obvious.

The shelling as if the sky had fallen and the earth had sank Lieutenant Colonel Locke woke up from his sleep. He turned over and sat up from the camp bed. However, before he could stand up, his command center shook suddenly, and secretly said that the shelling at the gate would not have such a big impact on the command in the city.

Oh my God, how many cannons should be there?

"What happened?" If it weren't for the violent shaking so real, Wallace simply thought he was still in a dream. Was this a Chinese shelling attack? Where did the Chinese get so many artillery?

At this time, a British staff officer ran to Locke and said, "Commander, the squadron launched a sudden artillery attack on our frontier positions, and the situation is not clear now."

Wallace grabbed the observation mirror a few steps and saw fires everywhere outside. In the flashing of fire, bunkers were raised and soldiers were blown away. Wallace, who had always been calm in his work, shouted loudly almost immediately: "Firepower suppression, fire suppression immediately. After heavy artillery destroys the enemy's artillery position, immediately bombard the front line of positions a thousand meters to prevent the enemy's subsequent attack."

A staff officer picked up the phone and conveyed Locke's orders in a whisper.

However, ten minutes later, the British artillery group in Mandalay City was still not moving at all. Wallace said with a blue face: "What are the artillery doing? Don't they know that every second they delay will lead to the sacrifice of one more soldier?"

Shi held the microphone and whispered: "Sir. They said they could not find the location of the enemy's artillery group..."

Wallace was stunned when he heard this and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"The observing secret sentry at the top of the city tower did not show any signs of large-scale artillery groups within the visual range. Perhaps the enemy was using ultra-long-distance artillery..."

"How is this possible?" Wallace said angrily: "Myanmar is full of mountains. How could the Chinese transport such large-caliber artillery? And looking at the explosion point, it is obvious that hundreds of cannons are attacking us at the same time. If the Chinese have so many heavy artillery, then we should surrender directly."

The artillery staff member was speechless, and Wallace looked at him and said, "You go to the front line first and second positions immediately. Find out the specific location of the Chinese artillery group, and then come back to report to me."

The face of the artillery staff was pale. It is obvious that the focus of the Chinese artillery bombardment was on the first and second-tier positions. At this time, such fierce artillery fire would probably be the same as those soldiers who were blown away. But the soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, and although they were unwilling, they still ran out quickly.
