Suli Tang listened to the whistling sound in horror.
What kind of sound is this? Why is it so terrifying? It makes people’s hearts ache when they hear it.
Before he could recover, the first rocket hit the ground and exploded with a bang.
Thirty kilograms of napalm were detonated by five kilograms of explosives. The thick napalm particles burned and exploded into a huge fireball.
The huge rising fireball instantly illuminated the gray sky where the sun had not yet risen.
Suli Tang saw that the entire sky was illuminated and the tent windows were filled with bright light.
Then, the bright light disappeared in a flash. Suli Tang looked out the window blankly, and a mushroom cloud rose.
The red flames were rolling in the black smoke, just like the volcanic craters and lava he had seen in Central Asia. Black and red were rolling back and forth inside and out.
Then there was a crackling sound like raindrops, and burning napalm particles fell like a heavy rain. These small fire beads ignited wherever they landed, whether it was grass or a tent.
Although Suri Tang had many feelings, they only happened in two or three seconds.
Because there was a level 5 northerly wind today, the first batch of rockets fired were all deflected to the south of the camp, but Sulitang in the Chinese Army was not hit.
He felt a thrill all over his body, and then he realized that the camp had been attacked.
Suli Tang rushed out of the tent rolling and crawling, pushing away the soldiers who were trying to protect him.
He stared at the southern part of the camp with his mouth wide open.
Rockets fell from the sky one after another.
These bolides with long tails were somewhat erratic in the wind. But most of them landed in the southern camp, and only a few fell on the sand outside the camp.
These bolides hit the ground and exploded into fireballs, engulfing a large area around them.
These fireballs evaporated into mushroom clouds, black smoke and red flames, rolling and rising inside and outside.
The whole camp exploded, and everyone ran out of the tent in panic to see what happened.
The southern part of the camp was in chaos. People were shouting, and many people were covered in fire. They were roaring and struggling in pain, running around and rolling on the ground.
The horse pen was set on fire, and the horses were covered in flames, neighing and running wildly in all directions.
However, wherever the horse ran, it carried the flames. The scope of the fire area continued to expand.
Some people panicked and tried to put out the fire with whatever they could find.
But the more you beat these evil flames, the more fiercely they burn.
The situation was even worse when water was poured on it. It exploded with a bang, and burning particles sprayed everywhere. These slime particles are not afraid of water at all, and can even float and burn on the water.
As soon as a drop of it gets on it, it will immediately burrow into the skin and burn.
Aluminum powder, magnesium powder, and white phosphorus are added to this napalm. Aluminum powder emits high heat, magnesium powder emits strong light, and white phosphorus is doomed if it gets on it.
This type of rocket can be safely stored and transported because the air is isolated inside it. However, after the explosion, the explosives will blast out aluminum powder, magnesium powder, and white phosphorus, causing them to fly everywhere.
As long as these terrible burning agents are on the body, they will burrow into the bones like maggots and quickly ignite the body's fat as fuel, and soon a person will be burned into a torch.
Under the northerly wind, the fire became more intense. In the blink of an eye, the entire southern camp became a sea of flames.
Yang Fan looked at the burning effect and said: "Recalculate the wind speed and distance. Try to make the second wave fall on the Chinese army and blow up their command system."
In the army of this era, whenever a large army is encamped, senior officers and commanders will inevitably be placed in the center of the camp because that is the safest place.
The outer circle is usually a circle surrounded by grain trucks and baggage vehicles as a layer of defense.
In this inner defensive circle, all soldiers are stationed. Others are not allowed to enter the inner camp.
Therefore, as long as the rocket falls into the circle, it will burn the Chinese army and the baggage. Even if it only causes chaos in the Chinese army, it will make the entire army lose its command.
In this era when there is no formation to restrain and control soldiers, it is impossible to fight. The officers and soldiers are completely organized by the military formation, and they are forced to move forward and fight bravely.
If the military formation is in chaos, a large number of people will take the opportunity to flee.
After all, for them, fighting is a stupid thing that involves losing money or even losing one's life.
Who is willing to go to war in order to collect their own taxes, impose their own labor, and bully their own government? Unless they are mentally ill. They hate the government even more than their enemies.
In this era, the government has only power but no obligation to the people. The people have no other emotions except fear towards the government.
It is strange that the people are willing to fight for the government and the enemy.
Therefore, the level-by-level surveillance and supervision system is very important.
The efficiency, deterrence, control, and even flexibility of this system are all key factors that determine the outcome of both parties.
Talking about morale and soldiers' self-awareness aside from the control over officers and soldiers is just a hooliganism.
Sun Tzu said, A brave man cannot advance alone, and a timid man cannot retreat alone.
Use arrays to control people in the infantry line. Officers are organized nearby to monitor everyone who tries to escape, who is cowering, or who is disadvantaged in combat.
For these people, we must strictly enforce battlefield discipline and kill them on the spot as soon as possible. This will deter all those who have illusions and try to take advantage of the battle.
It is true that kindness does not control the troops. Otherwise, if the battle line collapses, the flag falls and the troops disperse, and the enemy chases and kills them, it will not be these cowards who die.
The battlefield charge was in waves. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves in front, and the waves in front died on the beach. The waves in front wanted to run back, but what greeted them was a row of officers and soldiers behind them, densely packed with spears.
The first wave was all dead, and the second wave rushed up. Then there was the third wave, and the fourth wave.
Qi Jiguang said that there are no secrets in combat, and there are no fancy things.
The two sides formed a military formation. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the two sides formed a military formation and fought.
If the enemy attacks us with swords and slashes, we will slash and kill them with swords. If the enemies come at us in a row, they grab and stab us, we will rush at them in a row and stab them back.
In the battle line, one person in the front will die, and the other in the back will be replenished. This is the case on both sides, constantly replenishing, and constantly hacking and stabbing each other.
The comparison is the control between superiors over subordinates, officers over soldiers, one level monitoring the other.
Whoever is afraid first, whoever is soft-hearted first, whoever escapes first, whoever collapses first, loses first.
One side collapses, and the other side pursues and kills them. The loser's brains are bruised and he dies.
Therefore, Yang Fan's order is very clear, blow up the enemy's central army. As long as the central army is blown up, more than 30,000 people will immediately herd the sheep. Without the support of the shepherd dogs, they will run around all over the mountains and plains.
