Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 102 Attack
It was also the first time that Hillman led the entire division to participate in a formal war, and the first time he participated in such a large and important battle, this made him extremely honored and at the same time felt heavy pressure. Only Hillman knows how much hard work and sweat he has put in to grow from a hunter with outstanding personal kung fu to a division-level commander. He lacks formal military training and knowledge, and has never served as a commander of a regular army. At the beginning, Hillman faced the predicament he faced when he suddenly became a member of the Northwest Army from a member of the Guide Rebel Army. Fortunately, Chief Long Zi, who was born in a regular army and had considerable combat experience, gave him a lot of help. Hillman quickly gained a firm foothold in the Fifth Division, and then the most important thing for him was the one-year study at the Northwest Military Academy and several short-term trainings in succession. Hillman participated in all kinds of short-term training and graduated with honors.
Fei Muzai, executive vice president of the Northwest Military Academy, commented on him: "Studying and tireless, hard work is commendable." Being able to get the praise of Fei Mu, who has always been stingy with praise, is rare in the military circles of the entire Western Frontier. Many high-achieving students who claim to be graduates of the Imperial Military Academy find it difficult to get it during the training of the Northwest Military Academy. He looked right in the eyes, and a boy from Orion was able to win the Rose Medal that many students dream of twice, which made many people in the military circles of Western Xinjiang look at each other with admiration.
However, all these honors belong to the past. If you want to prove yourself, you must prove yourself with the success of this battle. Hillman is well aware of the cruelty and importance of this battle. With absolute confidence, but the enemy is equally powerful, many things can not be done just by having confidence.
The offensive was like a tide, and Hillman, holding the giant sword in his hand, watched the battle ahead intently. This place has already entered the attack range of the opponent's long-range weapons. However, the Kaman side's catapults and crossbow spears, which have taken protection and evasion measures, have been fired from time to time, posing a considerable threat to the attacking side. However, in Hillman's view, war is about bloodshed, If a division head shrinks because he is worried about the enemy's attack damage, then such a division head can be abandoned.
Stones the size of millstones continued to fall, and one of them landed near Hillman's observation post. The enemy's catapults performed so well that they directly killed two soldiers standing by against the shield, and the thick tower shield fell from the sky. It seemed so fragile and futile in front of the huge boulder, and the powerful inertia brought by such a huge stone bullet was enough to render all individual defensive weapons useless. Hillman waved his hand impatiently to signal the guards who came to cover to get out of the way and not to interfere with him. Such accidental events cannot affect Hillman's will. As a division commander, his responsibility is to accurately observe and judge the battlefield situation, and finally make reasonable deployment arrangements.
The turbulent attack of one tide after another continued to roll towards the majestic towering city, like waves hitting a reef, and the waves dispersed, but the reef still stood still, and the blood-red waves rolled over, leaving behind countless stumps No one thought that the battle would be so intense, and it was already in a state of intensification on the morning of the first day.
The First Wing of the Fifth Division only lasted for more than an hour before withdrawing. The huge consumption and loss forced them to accept the reality of defeat, but the second Wing that followed closely also failed to achieve impressive results. Satisfied with the results, although they rushed to the top of the city with the help of the power of the siege engine, but in just a few breaths, the desperate Kaman army relied on their superior strength to kill all the Xijiang soldiers who rushed to the top of the city like fallen leaves. The corpses that fell to the ground rose again from the base of the city wall. Hillman clenched his fists and watched the scene in front of him weakly. Although he was quite prepared, the sons who were alive and well were dying in front of their eyes. In an instant, this heart-piercing feeling is enough to drive people crazy.
Forcibly restraining his desire to go into battle in person, Hillman gritted his teeth and gave the order for the Fifth Wing to follow up. There are casualties and sacrifices in wars, and Hillman can only think deeply in his heart Use this sentence everywhere to warn and remind yourself to keep calm. As a division commander, you must keep a calm head to deal with all the sudden things now, otherwise the command will bring greater losses to the troops. The teacher repeatedly reminded himself of his words in the study of the military academy.
And this is just a battlefield in Fanlin's offensive and defensive battle. The east gate is empty, which not only leaves a way out for the Kamanians, but also reduces the desperate resistance of the Kamanians. Although I know that this tactic may not be useful for veterans like Mai Li, but As long as this situation can be known by the middle and lower ranks of Kaman, it will be enough to shake the confidence of the officers and soldiers. This may not be seen when the morale of the enemy army is strong in the early stage, but in the later stage, especially when the war enters the most brutal stage of hand-to-hand combat At this time, a little loophole in the psychological confidence of either party will have unimaginable effects. As long as they think that there is another way to go, no matter who they are, they will first consider their own way of life. This is determined by the characteristics of human psychology.
Just when Hillman was angry and frustrated when he failed in the first attack, Nick, who was in command of the official office in Fanlin City, was also shocked by this battle that was far more intense than he imagined. The first day was just a routine long-range weapon contest between the two sides. Unexpectedly, the long-range weapon contest only lasted for a few hours and entered an unprecedentedly fierce offensive and defensive battle. What worried Mailey even more was that the enemy launched an attack He was so resolute and brave that he managed to attack his own city twice in the first day of contact, which was unimaginable in the previous offensive and defensive battles he had experienced.
In addition to strictly ordering the defenders of the city to strengthen their defenses, Mailey also had to rearrange the deployment of the reserve team, especially at the south gate where the attack was most fierce. Take precautions, although attacking the top of the city does not mean that the city defense is in a dangerous situation, but at least it proves that the enemy's attack ability has exceeded my estimate. According to Mai Li's prediction, it should be at least the third day before this kind of attack occurs. phenomenon, but it happened on the first day, which greatly increased Miley's concerns about his own defensive plan.
The shouts of killing that resounded through the sky almost continued from the morning to the sunset in the afternoon. The eight-hour continuous attack not only exhausted the attacking side, but also made it unbearable for the defending side. Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, even Mailey, who had been sitting in a handsome chair with his eyes closed, also felt this way. This made Mailey himself sigh from the bottom of his heart. Maybe he was really old, and he couldn't help giving birth The subconscious idea of hoping that this war will end as soon as possible.
Liang Chongxin was very satisfied with the battle on the first day. The fighting spirit and fighting power displayed by his First Army fully proved the status of this army in the Western Frontier Army. The Second Division that attacked the North Gate once attacked the top of Fanlin City. Although the time was short, it was a good start, and it also gave the Kaman people a real glimpse of the demeanor of the Xijiang soldiers and the First Army. .
Liang Chongxin did not hope that he could capture Fanlin on the first day. If he had such an idea, it would be insulting the suspicion of Mailey, who has one of Kaman's twin pillars. Although the head is worthy of congratulations and encouragement, Liang Chongxin is equally clear~IndoMTL.com~ This does not prove that the Kamanians are weak in defense, but only shows that there are more difficult battles waiting for themselves and their troops. Obviously Mailey is preserving his strength, and the purpose of Xuezang's main force is obvious. He hopes to have a protracted tug-of-war with him, hoping that he can control the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides and disrupt his deployment, thereby gaining time and changing the situation Bringing a chance to change the whole battle situation, Mailey's calculation should be said to be quite good, but maybe he really underestimated his determination and confidence this time.
The loss of personnel and equipment of various ministries was quickly collected in the hands of Liang Chongxin. It should be said that the degree of personnel loss did not exceed Liang Chongxin's expectations, but the enemy's emphasis on siege equipment caused the loss of equipment to far exceed what was expected. Imagine, fortunately, in order to prepare for this offensive and defensive battle, the War Preparedness Administration has already tapped the war potential of the entire Western Xinjiang in this area. In addition to preparing sufficient equipment, a large number of craftsmen and repair equipment have also been directly transported to the first The craftsmen can use the rest time of the soldiers at night to rush to repair those repairable equipment. This will not only greatly reduce the operating pressure of the engineers, but also further give full play to the overall attack capability of the equipment. After all, many equipment must reach a certain scale. can fully exert their power, and the reduction of the number will greatly limit their power.
Note 1: The Rose Medal--a kind of medal issued by the Civil and Health Department of the Government Affairs Department of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Government. In the domestic culture and health education industry, in order to reward those who have made outstanding contributions in the culture and health education industry, it was later extended to the students and students of the college, but very few students won this medal, no more than three people each year.
