Zhu Gaoxu set up a headquarters on the spot, and then a group of students from Huangpu Military University began to dig trenches and build protective zones according to the combat methods they learned in class, because everyone knew that this battle would be a tough battle and might last a long time.
, it is expected that it will need to be advanced step by step.
Zhu Gaoxu also noticed these students. They had the drive to learn and ask questions like a scholar, but they were not pedantic. They followed Zhu Gaoxu and the generals under him one by one. They were eager to learn and ask questions. Everyone under Zhu Gaoxu reacted.
Several times, these people can really be used.
Moreover, he looks like a scholar. Everyone is basically above the level in terms of martial arts, swords, guns and sticks, and their skills in one-on-one fighting are also very good.
He couldn't even figure out where Zhu Zhanchen found such people, and there were more than thirty of them when he came out.
If these people are really trained, Zhu Zhanzhen's army of officers will not be weaker than any other army, or should be said to be stronger.
After Zhu Gaoxu arranged things properly, he took out his telescope and began to direct the battle.
Yu Qian followed Zhu Gaoxu and held a roughly drawn map.
Zhu Gaoxu pointed to a high ground and said: "Over there, give me more firepower over there. The artillery is aimed at that side. Blow it down first and then use two tanks to mount it."
Yu Qian glanced at the place Zhu Gaoxu pointed at and said: "Highland 105, carry out fire suppression first."
"Why is it called Highland 105?"
"I learned this from those students. Once the map is drawn, it will be labeled. This will be more convenient in commanding operations."
Zhu Gaoxu also thought this plan was good when he heard it. In the past, they used to mark the places by planting flags, such as red flag one and red flag two, but obviously it is simpler to do this on Highland 105.
"Send the order and lay siege to Highland 105. There is a crossbow machine there. By taking the high ground, part of the flight area can be liberated."
As long as the hot air balloon is not attacked, they can throw explosives at will.
…
The Turpan garrison general who originally shot down a Ming army's hot air balloon was feeling proud.
"The Ming army is nothing more than this. In this battle, our army will inevitably..."
"Report, general, the Ming army has begun shelling our army on the hilltop."
"Report, General, also on the left."
"Report, General, I'm here too."
Continuous reports came, and the Ming army began to suppress fire. Suddenly the general was stunned: "What's going on? Does the Ming army have so many artillery?"
"Some generals, the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army brought dozens of artillery. It seems that this is not all, and every soldier of the Ming Army has firearms in hand."
I knew that the Ming army was rich, but I didn’t know that the Ming army was so rich.
"Report, general, the Ming army's chariots have entered the battlefield."
"What, a chariot? Shoot for me, aim at the horse."
"But their chariots don't use horses, they are very fast, and their chariots have cannons."
The general frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can it run without a horse, a chariot with a cannon? You may have lost your mind last night."
"General... General, it's true, why don't you see it for yourself."
As soon as the general climbed onto the high platform, he saw a tank in the distance climbing up the slope. From time to time, it fired a cannon. Several small groups of infantry followed the tank. The accuracy of his cannon was not at all accurate.
Ways to target such moving objects.
The artillery of this era lacks accuracy even when it comes to hitting things that can't be moved, let alone hitting moving tanks.
The Turpan general looked at the tank that was showing off its power on the battlefield and could also be used as a bunker for soldiers. His eyes widened for a moment and he asked the person next to him angrily: "Why is it moving? What's going on."
General Turpan suddenly roared: "Where is the horse, where is the horse, where is his horse!?"
"General, we don't know either, but we seem to have heard that the Ming Dynasty had carts that could move without horses, as well as warships."
Angrily, he shouted and ordered his men: "The cavalry is attacking. No matter how we block that tank, we must capture one for me. Go, go quickly."
When the sun was about to set, the tanks had already led a group of people to the high ground and occupied all the opponent's fortifications. The tanks were almost invincible in such a battle dominated by cold weapons, but the internal living space was too harsh.
Well, the soldiers fighting today were almost suffocated to death and scalded to death.
Even if the enemy organized a cavalry attack, they could still be blocked by the cover of tanks and the advanced equipment in the hands of soldiers, especially shotguns. All beings are equal at close range, but they cannot shoot in a crowd.
, otherwise you will hurt your own people.
Today's battle took a temporary break as the sky darkened. After today's battle, both sides had a new assessment of each other.
Zhu Gaoxu had underestimated Turpan City before. I have to say that Turpan City resisted very tenaciously in this battle. They fought for a whole day and captured a 105 highland. Although the goods were received, it was smaller than expected, and they
The large crossbow designed for hot air balloons also exceeded my expectations, and this battle was more difficult than expected.
Moreover, the power of today's tanks on such a battlefield can be seen. The opponent still mainly uses cold weapons, and the accuracy of firearms and artillery is not enough to clear them. Tanks are almost impossible to destroy.
"Starting tomorrow we will still be fighting around tanks."
"The driver of the Wangye tank and others may not be able to fight tomorrow. They need to be replaced. The temperature inside the tank is too high."
"Then replace the person, and send someone back to talk to Zhan Yan about the situation and ask him to make improvements as soon as possible."
Unlike the Ming Dynasty army, which encountered some difficulties but everyone understood that things were progressing, the morale and attitude of the Turpan side are now bleak, not only among the soldiers, but also at the general level.
It seemed that they were slightly defeated today, but they clearly saw the indelible gap between their side and the Ming army. They couldn't compare in terms of equipment, firepower, and even more so the chariots that could be driven without horses.
Yes, that is simply a monster.
The crushing at the basic industrial level allowed the Ming army to open fire at will and cover the firepower, while Turpan City could only rely on the flesh and blood of the soldiers to catch the artillery shells. How could such a battle be won? Turpan City has already
Revealed the image of failure.
There is no hilltop left today, and there will be more tomorrow. When the Ming army's air force can enter the city, our side will be unable to fight back.
Nearly half of the Chagatai Khanate's firearms were hoarded in Turpan City, but compared with the Ming Army, these firearms were backward and insufficient in quantity. Almost everyone in the Ming Army's firearms battalion had one firearm, or even more than one, and I
I calculated that only five or six people would have a blunderbuss, not to mention the number of artillery pieces.
A group of people were all depressed, and at this time, a military order came to report.
"General, Prince Batur has ordered to defend Turpan City. They have ordered people to detour from Tingzhou to attack Jiayuguan in the rear of the enemy. With a group of 100,000 people, the enemy's main force is again. Jiayuguan will be empty. As long as Prince Batur takes the
At Jiayuguan, if we work together we will surely destroy the Ming army."
"Hold on, hold on, can you hold on?"
…
At this time, a Ming army troop rushed from Jiayuguan to Tingzhou, and a Chagatai Khanate troop rushed from Tingzhou to Jiayuguan.
