"Start up the pace and we must occupy the whole city as soon as possible." General Pershing ran among the soldiers while shouting command.
They had already issued orders before, and the officials controlled their troops and passed through the gates that had only closed half and went to various strategic points in the city.
General Pershing personally led a division to run towards the barracks east of the city. The garrison of St. Martin, who received the news, immediately came to the captured South Gate with weapons, and both sides encountered it on the street.
Both sides who had no experience in street fighting met on a narrow road. The soldiers of both sides, who were full of fear, picked up their rifles and shot desperately, and even forgot to lie down or dodge.
This is a close-range rifle shooting that is almost hand-to-hand combat. In the dense bombings, soldiers on both sides were shot and fell to the ground. The blood of the soldiers slowly flowed, and the bodies gradually piled up into bunkers. Some people passed the initial tension.
The officers and soldiers began to climb the houses on both sides of the street, intending to kill and injure the enemy from a high point.
Neither of the two sides is a fool. One side wants to get it, and the other side naturally wants it too. So the battle begins to spread to the roof. Both sides start to fill the front with their lives, fighting for the space on the street bit by bit. The battle here enters for a moment.
Stalemate.
Qiu Yu'an, who was marching in a hurry, heard the dense gunfire in the distance, and his heart sank. Looking at the direction that was very obvious, the other party was attacking Bandaya City, but his side was still more than ten kilometers away.
The battle in Bandaya City is still going on. Although both sides suffered huge casualties, they are gritting their teeth and holding on. Their commanders are very clear that whoever retreats first in such a close-killing bloody battle will face a massacre-like pursuit.
.
After all, the garrison of the St. Martin Empire was short of people and rushed to fight. He didn't have time to push the artillery over, and gradually became a little out of support in the bloody battle on the streets.
Having occupied the arsenal, the 7th Division of the 3rd Army of Boston added enough ammunition and left a battalion to continue guarding the arsenal, while others rushed from behind in the direction of fierce fighting.
The attack from behind became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The St. Martin defenders, who were attacked from both sides, finally collapsed. They no longer cared about the officer's shouts, fled in all directions, or surrendered on their knees.
After defeating the garrison, General Pershing immediately ordered the city gate to close, and the large army went to the city to defend, some of them debugged the captured artillery, and sent a division to disperse the entire city to wipe out those sporadic resistance.
Two hours later, the troops led by Qiu Yu'an finally arrived at Bandaya City, but they were greeted by a rapid shelling.
Looking at the Boston soldiers who had already stood on the top of the city, Qiu Yu'an secretly scolded the St. Martin for being vulnerable, but it was so simple that it was occupied by others.
Although Qiu Yu'an now has only more than 15,000 people in his hands, he is very confident that he will eliminate the remaining 40,000 Boston soldiers in the city in the field. If he is fully equipped, he can easily occupy it with his own divisional artillery
here.
But now his troops only have mortars, and those heavy artillery were thrown into Damot due to inconvenience in transportation, and all he could do was besiege.
In order to prevent the Boston army from escaping, Qiu Yu'an asked the troops to start civil engineering operations and slowly surrounded the city with a trench net. While asking for help from the St. Martin's garrison through the liaison officer.
The St. Martin's military also attached great importance to this Boston army that penetrated deep into its territory. They quickly mobilized heavy troops to surround Bandaya City with Qiu Yu'an.
Admiral Pan Xing, who was already surrounded, did not want to escape at all. He was quite afraid of the terrifying combat power of Qiu Yu'an, the Lan Fang mercenary. He knew very well that even if his side had sufficient ammunition, it would not be possible to defeat the other side in the field.
It’s better to sit in a strong city and wait for reinforcements in China or the war to end.
Looking at the city wall in the distance, Qiu Yu'an spitted the grass roots in his mouth on the ground and snorted: "Hmph, do you think I can't do anything to guard the city? I don't have artillery to bully me?"
After saying that, he looked at the contact officer who was hurried from afar and asked, "How is it? Have they agreed?"
The liaison officer shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu, our military does not agree to hand over the 200,000 troops besieging the city to you to command. The senior military leaders hope that you and your troops can defend the south, as long as we are trapped.
The result of living and waiting for the front line is enough, and there is no need to take any more risks."
After hearing the liaison officer's words, Qiu Yu'an smiled contemptuously and said, "A group of guys who are not enterprising, can't I attack you without you?"
The battle between the two sides over the past period of time has made Qiu Yu'an have some interest in Pan Xing, an opponent he had never met. The arrogance of the soldiers made him unable to tolerate such inaction, so he decided to give them some good taste and let them
Know the combat effectiveness of your subordinates.
After receiving Qiu Yu'an's order, the division of the St. Martin Empire who was accompanying him started civil engineering work together with the Lan Fang mercenaries of Qiu Yu'an. They dug a large number of vertical traffic trenches on the trenches, and then dig horizontal trenches after advancing for 100 meters.
Get closer to the city wall little by little.
Hearing the news that the other party's trench began to approach the city wall, General Pershing was startled. He knew very well that when the other party dug the trench under the city wall, they were blowing up the city wall and entering the city, so Pershing relied on orders.
A large number of soldiers went up the city wall and shot at the soldiers in the trenches.
Unfortunately, Pan Xing's actions have long been in Qiu Yu'an's calculations. Lan Fang's mercenaries are all composed of veterans. The Chinese leader never stings with ammunition during training. Therefore, the troops are filled with a large number of sharpshooters, many of which are the Court Wars Army.
Those who were beaten, although they did not pass the exam, had undergone a period of special combat training, especially sniper training.
With these semi-professionals, Lan Fang hired sharpshooters to attack everywhere. They usually hide in trenches and shoot whenever someone emerges on the city wall.
At the beginning, the young men in the Boston army still used their bloody courage to shoot against Lan Fang's mercenaries, but when their death toll exceeded 1,000, no one dared to emerge, which made Persh helpless.
.
He then ordered the artillery to shoot outside the city, but with the protection of trenches, the results of the artillery were quite limited. Qiu Yu'an even used the curved ballistic curve of the mortar to allow the shells to bypass the city walls, bombard the opponent's soldiers and artillery, and hit Boston.
The army was overturned, and Lan Fang's mercenary trenches quickly advanced under the city wall.
The St. Martin Empire and the Boston Empire were in chaos, and Fang Xiaoyu was enjoying the rare leisure leisurely, and the intimidation of Japan achieved great results.
Now the Saar Empire and other powerful people in the Western Continent are watching the battle situation in the New Continent. Who has the heart to pay attention to this incompetent little brother of Japan? In addition to the approach of the Chinese territorial navy, the Japanese feud, the Estobi, is also ready to move.
Losing the support of the navy and the support of countries in the Western Mainland, the Japanese government had to surrender. We can't let others destroy the little industrial facilities just built on their coastline again.
Therefore, the Japanese government sent troops to destroy the headquarters of the Black Wolf Society, and quickly arrested Colonel Kato Ryuichi and Narika Arisaka, handed the two people over to the Chinese leader for disposal, and also paid Fang Xiaoyu 10 million Lanfang coins for medical expenses.
.The Japanese government's actions caused an uproar in the country, and many radicals began to secretly unite, intending to overthrow the existing weak government.
Kato Ryuichi, who was escorted back, was executed after being publicly tried by Fang Xiaoyu, while Narika Arisaka, who thought he was bound to die, was inexplicably sent to the Light Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences by Fang Xiaoyu.
Arisaka Nariki was just a nerd figure who loved gun design and had no favoritism for other things, especially politics. When he came to the best light weapons research institute in the world, he was finally surrounded by a wide range of weapons here.
And intoxicated.
Nariaki Arisaka, who only loves gun design, did not show any hostility towards the Chinese leader. Besides, the Chinese leader brought his family to take good care of him. He had no worries. After seeing so many novel designs, Nariaki Arisaka plunged in.
, became one of the designers.
After temporarily resolving the threat around him, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes were once again aimed at the New World. He began to plan whether to send new mercenaries to put pressure on the Boston Empire with Qiu Yu'an, or give the Boston Empire a fatal blow from the land, at least
To consume some of the strength of the Boston Empire's army. Fang Xiaoyu even began to ask the General Staff to formulate a plan to encircle and annihilate Pershing troops. At this moment, an unexpected incident happened. In August 895, a very wide range of events occurred.
The food shortage began to spread around the world.
In fact, this food shortage was not without warning. As early as the first half of 895, large-scale locust plagues occurred in the Eastern and Central China. This locust plague first appeared in the territory of the Monte Empire and the Zhanxi Kingdom, where the locusts arrived.
The grouting wheat and earing rice were destroyed, and the farmland was harvested everywhere, and the farmers were almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fang Xiaoyu learned about the locust plague very early. Although various crops in the Chinese territory have strong anti-pest ability, they cannot resist such large-scale locusts, so Fang Xiaoyu immediately started working in the chemical factory.
After nearly a month of experiments, the world's first pesticide was finally born. Due to the current technical limitations, various low-toxic pesticide prescriptions in later generations were unable to be manufactured, so he had to make an early pesticide Six.
Chlorocyclohexane, because the chemical formula of this pesticide is c6h6cl6, this pesticide is also called hexa-hexa.
Liuliu pesticides are cheap and can quickly eliminate pests in large quantities. However, they are stable and can exist in the environment for a long time, and accumulate in animals, plants and humans, causing harm to the body.
