Text Ding Yi¡¯s Struggle (24)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although it is a solid cannonball, it is also a stone cannonball.  But seven or eight stone bullets directly broke through the parapet in front of the trench.  Although it caused no casualties, it still brought absolute fear and panic to the black soldiers.  Immediately, seven or eight black soldiers dropped their rifles and jumped out of the trench with their hands raised and screaming, but they died soon after.  Two people were killed directly by subsequent stone bombs, three or four were killed by stones and arrows accompanied by stone bombs, and two were directly killed by the Master Chief.  "Counterattack! Counterattack!" the commander of the New 7th Division shouted loudly, giving orders to the communications troops, "Let each regiment return fire to the enemy artillery positions in the divided defense area!" So the mortar squad of each regiment  I started to get busy, but I only fired a few rounds before I had to stop.  Because there is no observation balloon, in this weather where the winter rain in the mountains is gradually easing, even if an observation post is sent out, it is impossible to use sunlight to transmit signals for correction.  It¡¯s not that there is no sunshine, but the rain that has subsided but has not stopped completely will also reflect light. Military signals are about precision. If the accuracy of the transmission process cannot be guaranteed, what is the point?  ¡°Besides, where will the New Seventh Division have many veterans who can be sent out to serve as observation posts?  Being a scout is a technical job, and it's not something you can just win.  So after firing a few shells, the artillery of the Ottoman 6 stopped, and the New 7th Division also had to stop.  And from the woods, seemingly endless, Ottoman machine guns began charging again.  The bulky composite armor-structured shields in their hands only contained copper-coated machine gun bullets and the soldiers' rifles.  Nothing can be done.  At this time, not only the machine gun belt became a problem, but the Gatling type failure rate was high.  The disadvantage of being easily stuck is also under these conditions.  Infinity is magnified.  "Grenade! Grenade!" In the squad platoon on the front line, the shouts of the sergeant major and squad leader have begun to sound.  This means that the enemy has broken through to the fifty-meter range of the forward position. It seems that if the opponent's charge cannot be suppressed after throwing the grenade, hand-to-hand combat is inevitable.  Perhaps it was Ding Yi¡¯s luck that the winter rain gradually became heavier again, and the mountain wind was strong enough to send arrows flying.  It was impossible for the Ottoman follow-up troops to advance on the muddy mountain road. After the small group of hundreds of troops in front was overturned by grenades, they could only retreat temporarily.  "Your Majesty, withdraw. The New Eighth Division is still guarding the retreat. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain just now" Cao Jixiang persuaded Ding Yi with lingering fear.  But it was obvious that Ding Yi at this time had no intention of accepting any suggestion of retreat, regardless of whether it was justified or not.  "If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, the Ottomans would have had more corpses left in front of our position." Ding Yi said it so confidently, as if he was describing something that was natural.  As well as the three regiment commanders, the division commander and the division chief of staff of the New Seventh Division who came to report.  They all straightened up subconsciously.  Ding glanced at the somewhat angry officer, shook his head and said: "The battle in the morning revealed huge problems. Have you done a post-war summary? Why not? You think you will die here. As long as  Let the soldiers finish the last bullet numbly and end their lives in a state of trapped animals? " "You don't believe that we will be the winner anymore?" "You are starting to prepare for the final victory?  "Ding Yi slapped the table angrily: "This is not what I want! The Ottomans have artillery, so what? Except for those guys who were scared to death.  How many people died from their damn primitive artillery? "Because the fortification standards written by Ding Yi were directly based on the Shangganling period, that is,  To protect against heavy artillery and bombing, there are trenches, tunnels, and even shell holes.  Of course, the Ottoman artillery did not need to use anti-gun holes.  Because the range of the Ottoman artillery, the range of the Urban cannon was one mile, which was one thousand six hundred meters.  The Ottomans would only drag Urban cannons with them unless they were crazy, and after being blown up by Ding Yi's heavy cannon in the Battle of Smyrna, they did not forge similar cannons.  Therefore, those brought with them were all small-caliber artillery pieces.  Fighting from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, it basically collapsed the parapet and lost kinetic energy.  "Both chiefs and officers have war horses or pack horses, right? They are used to implement the previous individual weapons and equipment, and ammunition is also supplied before departure." Ding Yi knocked on the table and said to the officers who stood in front of them with their heads lowered.  Asked, "Why didn't I see the grenade launch during today's battle!" These sergeants and officers all came out of the 1st Rong Division. So at that time, Ding Yi felt that it was cruel to recycle one piece of equipment.  It feels bad to see a soldier armed with a manual rifle, change his uniform and fire the gun; the other is that it doesn't make much sense, and he doesn'tIt was a small amount of money to recycle equipment, so we let them keep the individual equipment.  This question made those division and regiment officers blush, because their growth in the military gave them a fixed mindset, that is, as officers, they should command the troops in combat instead of trying to be heroes themselves.  This is not only an issue that is repeatedly highlighted in the training for promotion at each level, but Ding Yi also repeatedly uses himself as a negative example to conduct self-examination.  Therefore, they have formed a mindset that the first priority should be to maximize the combat effectiveness of their troops.  "Go back, if the rain keeps falling, then start with each class, make a post-war summary, and come up with a combat plan tonight, a combat plan that can allow us to win like in the past." Ding Yi did not reprimand again.  They, he took a sip of tea and said to the officers, "I will not interfere with your combat command. What I want to tell you is that if you can't hold on, I will be the reinforcement." "If you choose, find it for yourself.  There are enough excuses, such as unfamiliar terrain, insufficient troops, insufficient supplies, etc., and then you can die here sadly, then I will respect your choice. " "But I will still fight, even if I am the only one.  "People, I never give up, I believe in victory." "The Western Ming Dynasty must win this war. If we imagine the glory of the powerful Tang Dynasty, if we want to gain a foothold in the West, we must win, in addition to victory.  , I have nothing else to ask for. Disband." "Obviously, Bayezid's troops determined that Ding Yi was stationed on the mountainside, or they believed that as long as the mountainside fortifications collapsed, they could attack the new Eighth Division's position.  The posture of attacking from both front and back.  Therefore, the focus of the attack is mainly on the New Seventh Division.  Relatively speaking, Fatty Wen's New Eighth Division received much weaker attacks, so the New Eighth Division's position was quite good.  Moreover, after the reduction of the defense circle and the elimination of almost all black soldiers, the efficiency of language communication, whether it is the mastery of the Ming Dynasty Mandarin by the white Egyptians, or the mastery of the Egyptian dialect by the sergeants and officers, has greatly improved the entire command system.  , are much stronger than the New Seventh Division.  "Your Majesty, why don't you let the New Seventh Division do the same as Fatty's and eliminate all the Kunlun slaves?" Cao Jixiang tentatively asked Ding Yi after Fatty Wen sent someone to report.  Ding Yi shook his head: "No, if that's the case, why bother to form ten new divisions? Just split the Rongyi Division into battalion-level units for action." The purpose of forming ten new divisions is to solve the problem of insufficient strength.  The problem is, if we do it just before the war, it will be completely meaningless.  The rain is still falling, and the persistence of winter rain is much stronger than that of summer rain.  By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no sign of stopping, and messengers from the Ottomans came with white flags.  Bayezid hoped to have a pre-battle dialogue with Ding Yi, and he proposed: "I hope that the teacher will only bring two followers, and I must bring twenty people. This is based on my admiration and respect for you, teacher."  Very shameless, but also very practical.  Many times, this kind of shameless monarch always has the last laugh.  Ding Yi agreed to this condition, and he only brought Cao Jixiang with him to hold an umbrella for him.  "Great teacher, what are you waiting for?" Surrounded by twenty elites holding large shields with composite armor structures, Bayezid asked Ding Yi, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something,  "Oh, the teacher sent eight teams of messengers to Smyrna. Maybe you are waiting for reinforcements from Smyrna? Sorry, my respected teacher, I only blocked three of the eight teams of messengers, two of which were from China.  They were determined to die, and I had to sigh, teacher, how did you cultivate such loyal soldiers? But that group of black soldiers was obviously not that strong. " Ding Yi didn't seem to have any sadness as a besieged person.  He still stood upright in the wind and rain: "Tell me why you are here, my student." "I'm sorry, teacher, I admire you, but I lack the courage like you. Please forgive me for not being able to imitate you. I can only stand behind the shield.  , so that I can feel safe when facing you." Bayezid seemed to be imitating Ding Yi in his tone, "Someone suggested that I could recruit you to the empire, and you would train countless soldiers for the Ottoman Empire.  Talent." Then Bayezid then said: "I have killed the proposed minister." "He is stupid. My great teacher will never be willing to be imprisoned.  , It¡¯s just an insult to the teacher I respect!¡± Ding Yi laughed, stroking his short beard and said, ¡°It¡¯s not good to offend others. You haven¡¯t been studying hard recently.¡± Bayezid also laughed:  "I'm sorry, teacher, please forgive me. I really can't take care of my studies while trying to kill you." "IKnowing that facing you, there is only one option, which is to kill you.  "(To be continued) ps: I'm not in good spirits, I didn't sleep well, and I write a little slowly. I'll update it first today.
