"Start the attack."

With Liu Mingchuan's order, more than 400 cannons of different sizes rushed towards the Hucheng Fortress. The fortress suddenly became a sea of ​​fire, and many fortresses and forts were instantly destroyed by artillery fire. Looking at the fortress from the top of Congyunling Mountain, where the artillery was fired, at the west side of the coastline, a golden light flashed in the middle of the dark fortress. The lightning-like light reflected the sky in the west suddenly lit up, and then the sound of thunder-like sounds connected together. The final thing was the crazy and violent shaking of the earth.

French soldiers hid in forts, in infantry fortresses, or climbed in trenches, covering their ears and opening their mouths. They endured the huge waves of air, the vibrations of the earth and the terrifying explosion.

French soldiers kept coughing in the trenches and fortresses filled with smoke, and the smoke continued to enter their respiratory tracts and lungs. They did not understand that in this backward east, they would be subjected to such strong and dense shelling.

In the telescope, Liu Mingchuan clearly saw that the soil in front of the French position was lifted into the sky layer by layer, and the French soldiers were swept away by the air waves one by one. The shells were slowly conveyed in the French position like the movement of death.

The reinforced concrete gun castle was torn into pieces like paper under such cannon fire.

On the assault position near the forefront of the French army, the tiger's troops were lying low. The fire light reflected after the shell exploded shone on their faces, showing their nervous affection. Many new recruits looked pale, and many even had their pants wet. However, no one laughed at them now, and such a violent shelling made everyone nervously suffocate.

After the artillery fire lasted for a full 15 minutes, two "bang" and "bang" sounded, and two signal flares rose into the air.

A dazzling green light shone in the air.

The French soldiers were still immersed in the terrifying bombardment and suddenly saw the shells turning into the green signal flares. Before they could come back to their senses, they saw rows of blue waves rushing out of the trenches and pounced on the French fortifications outside the fortress.

But at this time, the French army's firepower seemed to suddenly wake up, erupting countless fires in the darkness. There were fortifications I had seen before, and there were also many castles that I had not noticed at all.

The fire tongues spewed out by the gun instantly swept down a large number of Qing soldiers who could not dodge.

The artillery that was placed at the fortress also began to fire at this time. One by one, 180mm shells made a shrill scream in the sky, and then a loud noise that shook the earth. The pressure he brought to the Qing army was huge. Almost every explosion could take away a piece of flesh and blood.

The front-line guns and artillery, the fortress inside the fortress, and the howitzers fired from countless castles, were formed to compete with cannons and mortars, which formed an airtight fire net, which made the more than 10,000 Qing troops who were preparing to attack so hard that they could not raise their heads.

Liu Mingchuan, who saw everything in the command post, said coldly to the person beside him: "What are the artillery doing? Why don't you suppress them?

The Zero-level master http://www.77nt/19181/Go.”

The messenger next to him hurriedly ran out.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the 20 newly formed artillery battalions. Such large-scale artillery has not been used in the Qing War. Although it is usually similar to the German instructors, if you really want to enter such a fierce artillery battle, you should pay too much attention to it. Maintaining the explosion line, suppressing firepower, and concentrated attacks on the enemy's strong fortifications are all laborious work. The use of modern artillery is a precise work, not to hit anywhere you hit, and accidentally hitting one person who charges.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the artillery battalion fired the Yuan Biao far away. The shells hit the turret inside the fortress, which was originally an open space at the foot of the mountain, and there was no effect of suppressing firepower there.

After two days and two nights of continuous bombardment and assault, the fortifications on the entire French position seemed to have been plowed, revealing fresh land. But even so, the French army still had firepower points openly and secretly. The main turret on the inside was also like the charge of the Qing army tirelessly bombarding tirelessly. And each time it took away a large number of lives of the Qing army.

"Oh my God, how many secret castles do this Frenchman have here?" Liu Mingchuan said to himself.

A personal soldier ran over and said, "Report, Frontier Report: The French artillery fire is too strong, and the assault troops retreated again."

"How many attacks have this been?" Liu Mingchuan asked casually.

"This is the fifteenth attack in two days."

"The troops need to rest and let the front-line troops retreat. The artillery stopped shooting for half an hour, everyone should rest." Liu Mingchuan suddenly raised his head and said.

"The military gate and other departments are all invincible everywhere. We have been fighting here for two days, but we haven't stepped in. Are we still resting?"

"Go, you bastard, rush up and try it! Take it down, you can't rush forward like this." Liu Ming Chuan was filled with anger.

The tiger returned to the command post with a smoke on his face and said aggrievedly: "Military Gate, the French artillery fire is too fierce. Their fortress is built on the mountain, and it is divided into many layers from top to bottom like a pagoda. After one layer is broken, it can immediately retreat along the infantry trenches to the upper layer. There is no idea how many secret forts are there. There is also a minefield in front of their positions, which is French anti-infantry thunder, specializing in blowing up the soldiers' knees. We were dragged down by the minefield last time, and many brothers were lying there and could not walk. More brothers went to help them, and were swept to death by guns." As he said, the tiger's eyes were filled with tears.

"How many people do you have?" Liu Mingchuan thought for a while and suddenly asked.

The tiger hung with tears and said, "There are more than 2,000 people left."

"Where are other feint attack troops?" Liu Mingchuan continued to ask.

"The situation is almost the same. I can't make a feint attack when I rushed up. I was the main attacker. Before I even attacked, I was knocked down by their guns and cannons."

You go down and have a good rest, and make a substitution to attack tonight.

"Military Gate, give me another chance. We are familiar with the terrain there, so you can let me take my brothers to rush again." Hu said with a sob.

Liu Mingchuan shouted loudly: "This is a war, what I am talking about is a military order. I have asked you to rush 15 times. If you can take it down, will it be necessary for me to replace people?"

"Military Gate, please let me rush again, I will issue a military order. If you can't take the fortress, you won't have to chop my head. We guarantee that no one will withdraw from the battle alive." Hu continued to plead.

"Have you been in a military academy in the past few years? The emperor's money has been spent? Why didn't I see you as a waste before? Did you let you die in this war? If you die, you can take the fortress. I will chop off your head now and you will get out for me. Brothers are tired, but they will rest and the attacks of others will not go smoothly. Sooner or later, you will have to take your life if you can't get it down when the time comes, I will still have to take your life." Liu Mingchuan cursed.

Wang Linhu was unwilling to accept it but he retreated helplessly.

"Go, call Wang Crazy Man for me." Liu Mingchuan said to the personal soldiers beside him.

After a while, Wang Fengfeng ran in quickly.

"See the military gate, the left wing is as solid as a god. There is no trace of the French army!" Wang Feng said deliberately.

Liu Mingchuan looked at Wang Feng, known as a madman, and said slowly: "You rushed to the enemy's position alone and killed 13 enemies. Now I want you to lead a group of people to rush to the opposite fortress and destroy the heavy artillery in the opposite fortress. Are you sure?"

"Military, just look at it. I can't guarantee anything else. Just this little thing is enough for me to lead a battalion." Wang Feng said while patting his chest.

"There is no joke in the army." Liu Mingchuan said with a calm face.

Wang Feng said with certainty: "I am willing to issue a military order. I hope the 20 artillery camps in the military gate can cover the fire for a quarter of an hour. If the task cannot be completed within two hours, I am willing to deal with it by military law."

"Okay, I'll give you half an hour of firepower to cover. The firepower can extend forward with your advancement. It's noon now. Go back and prepare to launch an attack at midnight and destroy their fort before dawn." Liu Mingchuan said excitedly.
