Chapter 937: 938 Fengjiang Street Fighting
Chapter 937 Chapter 938 Street Fighting in Fengjiang
The architecture of Fengjiang is actually very unique. Its core was built by the construction team of the Tang Empire. This was a sub-project in the peace treaty between the Tang Empire and the Great China Empire.
At that time, the Tang Empire promised to help build a new Fengjiang, and the original Fengjiang became the territory of the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire never broke its promise in this regard. They indeed sent out their own construction team to build a large modern urban area in Fengjiang.
Including modern railway stations, power plants, two airports in the north and south, and a whole area of high-rise buildings. The Tang Empire also built a bridge connecting both sides of the Fengjiang River, and also built various government offices in Fengjiang.
But later, after the entire city was handed over to the Dahua Empire, the situation changed. The Dahua Empire did not develop this city in accordance with the Fengjiang construction and development plan left to them by the Tang Empire.
They built a large number of ordinary buildings outside Fengjiang. The closer to the edge of the city, the more slum-like places there are and the more primitive they are.
Frankly speaking, these buildings have seriously affected the beauty of Fengjiang and hindered the development of Fengjiang. However, these buildings have indeed provided a large number of low-cost houses for the poor in Fengjiang.
There are obvious differences in how the two countries handle this: the urban planning of the Tang Empire was strictly formulated in accordance with rules and regulations, which stipulated that every time the city expanded, a quarter of the land area must be used to build necessary buildings. Cheap housing.
As for the so-called aristocratic areas and high-consumption areas, a considerable part of the housing prices are borne by the civilian residential areas, but there is no way to do this because it is a legal requirement of the Tang Dynasty.
The local governor can only get three-quarters of the real benefits from developing a place. The advantage of this is that it can significantly narrow the gap between rich and poor, but the disadvantage is that it will waste the local development speed.
After all, a quarter of the funds can only be allocated to affordable properties. If this money can be rolled into circulation, the local area may develop faster.
But the Tang Empire did not allow such a thing to happen. Tang Mo would rather waste a quarter of the development speed in these places, and must ensure that at least a quarter of a city's urban areas serve ordinary civilians.
The Dahua Empire went to the other extreme. There were a large number of slums outside the city of Fengjiang, with the largest number of slums in the west. They have now become battlefields.
The Fengjiang defenders deployed a large number of defense lines here. According to the tactics of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Advisory Group, the city was divided into several parts. Each part was responsible for a troop, and the output was guaranteed to each household. If you defended it, you would get money.
These slums are almost in ruins now. They were built with little expense and care, so it seemed so natural when they collapsed.
Bricks, tiles, and collapsed walls built a natural line of defense, and the various Tang Empire weapons shipped from the Chu State made this line of defense extremely strong.
First of all, there are countless soldiers hidden in these ruins. They are battle-hardened, have superb tactical skills, and hold huge bounties.
Secondly, these soldiers have a large amount of weapon support: including a large number of artillery, as well as a 50mm long-barreled anti-tank gun.
In addition to anti-tank guns, the 75-meter and 88-meter guns produced by the Tang Empire also appeared on the battlefield. Since the Chu State assisted Fengjiang aircraft, it did not care to assist other weapons and equipment.
So, on the streets of Fengjiang, behind the barricades, some 88mm anti-aircraft cannons began to appear. These cannons do not have many air defense tasks. Instead, they are equipped with gun mantlets and perform anti-tank tasks.
Dahua’s soldiers were struggling to advance in the ruins, and Fengjiang’s mercenaries were also resisting tenaciously in the ruins. People were constantly dying on both sides, and the battle had turned into something else.
The previous scene of hundreds and thousands of people charging was basically invisible on the second day after the Fengjiang street fighting broke out. Because such a charge is just a living target for the machine gun positions in the ruins.
Continuous attacks involving large numbers of troops were replaced by small-scale detachment attacks. Everyone huddled in the trenches, cautiously testing every corner, and cautiously groping forward, paying a heavy price for every step taken.
Cold shots would sound at any time. If it were not for the fact that there was a treaty that prohibited the use of landmine weapons, the brutality of the battle would have been raised to another level.
There are trenches and bunkers everywhere, and the terrain may be completely different every few meters. In such a terrain, everyone can only attack each other with grenades and fight ruthlessly with bayonets. Casualties were rising in a straight line, and sometimes hundreds of people from both sides would fight over the ruins.
Because such battles gradually increased, the demand for submachine guns by the Fengjiang troops and the Dahua Empire troops increased significantly.
The Dahua Empire urgently purchased a large number of Thompson submachine guns produced under license from the Datang Group from the Cyric Consortium, while Fengjiang purchased 30,000 Bobosha submachine guns directly from the dwarves.
The troops on both sides began to use automatic weapons in large numbers, making the Fengjiang street fighting more bloody. The continuous gunfire in the city gradually increased, and coupled with the sound of shelling day and night, the city was constantly fighting every minute.
In the fierce battle, the troops from the Dahua Empire even began to bring Maxim heavy machine guns or other types of light machine guns to the front line for fire suppression. Fengjiang's anti-aircraft guns fired back with great momentum.
"Boom!" The huge explosion shook the nearby building, and the wooden floor made a distorted and creaking sound in the explosion. The dust on the roof fell down and hit those M35 helmets.
The goblin soldiers wearing steel helmets are like a group of children, but their combat effectiveness is not at the level of boy scouts. The submachine guns in their hands are very distinctive, with side magazines for ammunition and a bayonet on the front.
This is the unique weaponry and equipment of the Mirage Kingdom, and its design was also purchased from the Tang Empire. This piece of equipment, known as the Hundred-style submachine gun, may be the most distinctive type of submachine gun equipped by all countries.
In order to allow shorter Mirage soldiers to suffer no disadvantages in close combat, the 100-type submachine gun is the only submachine gun in the world equipped with a bayonet.
Of course, although its design is not very good, at close range, a submachine gun is still a submachine gun.
The Mirage soldiers hiding on the two-story building took advantage of their short stature in street fighting. They can often hide in unexpected places and launch sudden attacks to achieve brilliant results.
This is not a joke at all. You can imagine how terrifying it would be for a killer to hold an RPG rocket launcher and hide it in the drawer of your refrigerator.
While waiting for seven or eight soldiers from the Great China Empire to pass cautiously in the gaps in the ruins below, these soldiers from the Mirage Kingdom suddenly burst out and fired at the bottom with their weapons.
“Thud, tug, tug, tug!” Accompanied by the intensive gunfire, the Dahua soldiers below were caught off guard and fell down. Their blood stained the nearby ruins and rubble. The winner of a tense encounter was quickly determined.
The Tang Empire had to be very cautious when fighting with the goblins of the Mirage Kingdom in Beiyuan City, which fully demonstrated the advantages of goblins in street fighting.
They can drill through chimneys that others cannot, and climb into sewers that others cannot climb through. They can also hide in cupboards and under stairs, areas that would normally be large enough for mice.
Stepping on the wooden stairs that had begun to shake, these goblin soldiers began to shift positions. They have gained a wealth of combat experience in Beiyuan City, and this experience returned to the Mirage Kingdom along with the injured goblin soldiers who retreated to the Mirage Kingdom early on, where it became a valuable asset.
The Mirage Kingdom has been studying the theory of street fighting. At the same time, other countries are also studying similar tactics. They feel that they can no longer compete with the Tang Empire in the wild, so relying on fierce battles in the city to consume the troops of the Tang Empire will become a problem. One of their best options.
"Bang!" Just as these Mirage soldiers were going downstairs, a gunshot was heard in the distance. A sniper from the Great China Empire discovered these Mirage goblins and shot one of them walking in the middle. .
The goblin soldier who was going downstairs immediately rolled and fell down the stairs. The rest of the goblins sped up and went downstairs quickly, and then quickly hid themselves downstairs.
Even though their speed was fast enough, a second gunshot was heard, and the second goblin fell down after being shot, lying on the ground bleeding.
