Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

On the artillery mark position.

"Biaotong, all the battalions have been rebuilt, and the artillery and artillery units have been set up. Please give instructions!"

"I'll give you 15 minutes to hit the city wall 1 kilometer in front of you. Let it go!" Cai Ning roared.

"Boom! Boom..."

Countless cannonballs fell around the city wall, and the solid city wall suddenly burst into bricks, but there was no danger of collapsing in a short time.

"General, the artillery group of the Qing army opened fire again. The city wall was heavily shelled, and a large number of Qing troops appeared in the west, south, and east directions of the city. It looks like they are about to attack the city!"

Wallace frowned, staring at Mandalay City on the sand table, thinking.

At this time, a staff officer standing in front of the sand table suddenly said: "Sir, the Chinese attack route is very strange."

"Oh, what's the matter." Wallace looked up at the staff officer.

"You see. There is a cliff in the direction they are going, and there is no way there at all."

Someone nearby said with a smile: "It seems that the Chinese have exhausted their advantages. They ran into such a dead end in a panic during our siege. We should immediately gather our defenses and encircle them here."

"General, the Chinese don't seem to be attacking the city. Their light artillery can't blow down the city wall, they can only blast a few openings in a short period of time. But the Qing army appeared all around, and it doesn't look like an organized attack. City. It’s just purposeless harassment outside the city!”

Wallace looked at the Qing army rushing in and the Qing army and artillery bombing points outside the city, and listened to the analysis of the staff.

He really couldn't figure out the true strategic purpose of the Qing army. What did they want?If you want to destroy my artillery group, why did they run up to the cliff instead of going straight to the top of the mountain?An entire infantry regiment has been deployed there, and as long as the commando rushes up, it will be a living target.

It took so much effort just to send hundreds of people up the cliff?

In addition, the attack on the city wall must be to attack the city, but why the troops are scattered around, not the direction of the bombed city wall.

Wallace remained silent for a long time before turning to the staff officer beside him and saying, "Let the artillery group continue to bombard the assault point just now, and ignore the Qing troops around."

"Yes."

By this time it was already broad daylight, and the attack had been going on for four hours.

Feng Zicai's eyes were bloodshot, and the stubbornness of the British made his strategy lose its due effect.No matter how he pretended to attack the city, the British still suppressed the assault force invariably.

He no longer expects the rest of the commandos to rush up, but only hopes that the commandos that have already rushed up can complete the seemingly impossible task.

"Biaotong, here is a cliff, there is no way."

"Damn it, the terrain here has been rehearsed so many times on the sand table, why did you lead the wrong way? I'll shoot you!" Wang Gang looked angrily at Li Yu who was talking to him.

"There is a road on the sand table. Those Burmese people must have lied to us."

"Grandma, find a way to rush up. If we can't get rid of the devil's artillery, we will have no face to go back."

"Biaotong, the way back is blocked by the little devil. I can't go down!"

Wang Gang turned around and ran to the front of the troops, and saw that the British had built a relatively complete defensive position at the place where they had just rushed up. Let alone only more than 700 people in hand, it was to give him a complete target force. It is difficult to break through their positions under the cover of heavy weapons.

"It seems that the little devil wants to kill us." Wang Gang murmured.

"What should I do? This place is actually very close to the enemy's artillery position, but unfortunately there is no way to get there."

"Visual measurement, how far is the distance from the cliff to the artillery position? Are there enough grenades?"

"At least 500 meters away, the grenade can't reach it."

Wang Gang ran to the cliff and looked around. Next to the cliff was a horizontal cliff.The smooth cliff made it impossible to have any focus, but the cliff led horizontally to the artillery position on the opposite side.

Wang Gang, who was in the process, suddenly saw the British artillery group spit out a long tongue of flame, and then exploded a gorgeous flame at the position he had just assaulted.

"Brothers, the road behind is blocked by the British devils. Let's crawl over here, and even if we die, we will kill the cannons."

Everyone kept silent, holding the bayonet in their hands without saying a word, and threw their guns, ammunition, and dry food on the ground, leaving only some grenades hanging on their waists.

"Old Ni, you bring 100 people here to stop the British. Don't let the British come up and find out our intentions, let's catch the devil by surprise."

Before the political commissar could answer, he had already led his people to climb up the steep cliff. With a bayonet in his mouth and a grenade hanging from his waist, Wang Gang was grasping the protruding wall stone with both hands, looking for the next point of strength ahead.

One by one, the commandos climbed with Wang Gang, and the remaining 100 commandos held military salutes to their comrades.After watching them leave, dozens of people had already fallen down within a short time.

Of course Feng Zicai didn't know this at the headquarters, since he launched the attack at 4:8 in the morning, he has been fighting for a full 3 hours.It has been [-] hours since the commando rushed in. According to the usual analysis, it should have reached the position of the British artillery group.But so far there has been no response, and it seems that the commando has failed.

Then today's efforts were in vain, and the British army discovered his intentions.It may be more difficult to destroy the opponent's artillery group in the future!

Time passed minute by minute, but he had promised Zuo Shuai with a pat on the chest.If he didn't win here on time, let alone the commander-in-chief wanted to shoot him, even he couldn't spare himself.

The pressure on Liu Yongfu must be greater than his own, and he has to withstand the attack of more than 7 British troops.Every minute here, every minute is more dangerous there.

"Communication soldier."

"arrive."

"Tell Cai Ning to stop the attack. Tell Wang Huan and Lu Zheng to charge with our troops and take down the British position on the city wall."

"Yes."

Looking through the telescope, there are countless dark forts and bright forts on the walls of the British army.The firepower is quite stable, and with the support of the permanent artillery group on the mountain behind the city, the two targets that rushed up retreated.

"Let the troops retreat to rest for a while." Feng Zicai said helplessly.

"Yes."

"General, don't worry about it. Didn't they pull out their first and second-line positions today, and then send a commando to take out his artillery group at night." Political commissar Tian Zhongliang said.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have let that bastard Wang Gang go. If you study too much, you'll be useless for safekeeping. What kind of talented students are you? It's all fucking hypocrisy. I'll bring the assault team up tonight." Feng Zicai cursed.

"General, calm down, the situation of the commando team is unknown now, let's wait a little longer, and let the standard prepare for the impact." Tian Zhongliang said.

In the cliff, Wang Gang stabbed into the cliff with a bayonet in one hand, and pulled it down with all his strength.Feeling that I can bear my own weight, I continue to climb forward, and the straight-line distance of 500 meters has exceeded half.But half of the brothers around me are gone, but the physical and mental qualities that can be kept are one in a million.

At this time, I heard that the artillery fire of the British army stopped, and the whole valley was still lively and lively just now, and now it is a bit scary to be quiet.

"The artillery fire of the British army has stopped. It seems that the general has stopped attacking. It's because we are too slow. Brothers, work harder. If anyone falls, shut up that stinky mouth and let the British find out. We have all become living targets." Wang Gang said out of breath.

Another soldier stepped on the ground and fell.But apart from a "boom" when it fell to the bottom of the mountain, there was no other sound.It's not like the "ah" and "ah" before.

Finally, after more than 3 hours of climbing, Wang Gang finally led the remaining 200 people to the other end of the mountain, and after a short period of adjustment, he rushed into the enemy's artillery group.

Due to the continuous artillery battle for 8 hours, the British artillerymen fell asleep leaning on each other at this time.And a defensive infantry regiment had already gone around the cliff and besieged the Qing commando.

How do they know what it means to turn a corner and what it means to be bright.Wang Gang was secretly rejoicing that God helped me, and was about to launch an attack when he suddenly realized that he didn't have a gun here. At that time, he thought it was troublesome to carry a gun, and it was inconvenient to climb.Well, now only the bayonet can be used.
