Two hours later, the intensity of the shelling suddenly weakened, and the desperate explosions were gradually lost to the front-line positions of the Qing army, and more explosions were heard only in the rear positions.

"It's not good, the Tiance Army is going to attack, and the big guys are cheering up." There was a veteran who had survived several encounters with the Tiance Army, and was lucky to survive the artillery preparation again, and hurriedly shouted loudly to remind.

His reminders and shouts did not have much effect, the corpses and blood full of the trenches, due to the reduction of the sound of the explosion, the wails and screams of the wounded were clearly heard, the trenches undoubtedly became a human purgatory, and more of the surviving Qing soldiers were either stunned or deaf, where could they hear the cries of others.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, all those who can breathe are ready for Lao Tzu to get up and prepare to meet the enemy, and the Tiance army is about to rush over." A surviving Manchu Eight Banner Niu Lu Zhangjing shouted and cursed, he took a few personal soldiers to kick and kick, as long as he was a person who could move, whether he was injured or not, he was ordered to pick up a knife and gun and prepare for battle.

The rear of the Qing army also sounded a vast horn, which was a reminder to the entire Qing army position that the enemy had attacked.

Miserable, really miserable, originally this trench about 1,200 meters long, the Qing army hid 1,500 troops, and now there are only about three or four hundred people who can pick up arms. Many people are still crumbling, some of them are still bleeding suddenly, their bodies are more or less inlaid with shrapnel, as for those who are missing arms and legs, they really can't stand up, and may soon die from excessive blood loss.

The Qing army's front-line positions in the direction of the main attack had seven or eight trenches and more than 200 earthen forts, and more than 20,000 troops were originally arranged, but after the shelling, only more than 3,000 people were really able to pick up swords and guns. The earthen forts had all been cleared by name, and most of the trenches had collapsed, but the men had to defend an area 1.2 kilometers wide and about 800 meters deep, while the other side was armed to the teeth of the Tiance army.

The rumbling sound came, and the vanguard of the Tiance Army was eight Type 99 tanks and one hundred and twenty-eight armored vehicles, so many armored vehicles, driven by the strong horsepower of diesel engines, rushed towards the Qing army's position, and the noise of the engines became the main theme of the battlefield.

Some of the Qing troops had participated in the First Battle of Gaizhou, and they had also seen the armored vehicles of the Tiance Army, but such a large scale of mechanized attack troops still made them tremble.

"It's down, it's down!" Most of the Han and Qing troops lost their weapons, and this was not the war they wanted. A medieval army with a battle loss rate of nearly seventy percent, in the face of the enemy's overwhelming offensive, they could not see hope at all, they did not have a strong belief, what to fight to the last man, that is just a legend.

Most of the eyes of the Eight Banners supervisors were also frightened, and their duty was to supervise the Han Eight Banners to fight, but the current battlefield situation was clear at a glance, and defeat was doomed.

After several blows by the Tiance Army, the Eight Banners have been wounded, and the heroic diehards usually die the fastest, and what is invincible is already a distant story.

Huang Taiji's army expansion policy is: all those who are under the age of 70 and above 13 are all conscripted, and those who violate the law will be fined horses and camels, and those who do not go to the place of rendezvous will also be fined horses.

All are soldiers! It sounds very imposing, but the current Manchu core army of the Manchu Eight Banners is no longer the Manchu Eight Banners of the past, and the honor of the Qing warriors was smashed in front of the hammer of the Tiance Army.

The huge muzzles of the eight Type 99 tanks came straight over, and the Qing army's position shouted surrender in all directions, and most of the Qing soldiers threw down their weapons and raised their hands high.

In ancient times, surrender was to throw away the weapon and kneel, and the hands were not exquisite. Raise your hands to surrender This is still the gradual popularity of the Tiance army, because the Qing army is basically in the trenches, so you can only see it by raising your hands Tiance army.

But diehards still exist, a small number of Manchurian Eight Banner leaders are still unwilling to fail, want to do a dying struggle, trapped beasts are still fighting, it is said that the commander of the Tiance Army, Wang Sihua, Wang Wang especially hates the Manchurians, once he falls into the hands of the Tiance Army, life and death are unpredictable.

"Dog minion, so bold, who dares to surrender lightly, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." The Eight Banners Niu Lu Zhangjing roared angrily, and he kicked several Han Army Banner soldiers who raised their hands to surrender with his feet, and seeing that the effect was not good, he raised the steel knife in his hand.

"Poof!" With a bang, under the severe pain, he looked down and found a spear head drilled out of his chest, and then he fell to the ground with a scream.

The accompanying soldiers immediately pulled out their blades, and they were about to get rid of the murderer who dared to sneak attack their own Niulu, and the other Han army banner soldiers also immediately picked up their knives and guns and chopped them into meat puree in an instant.

With the rapid approach of the armored forces of the Tiance Army, such scenes of cannibalism appeared only sporadically on the Qing army's positions, rather than the mainstream, and most of the surviving Qing troops only trembled and raised their hands.

More than 130 combat vehicles rushed towards the Qing army's position at a speed of nearly 50 kilometers per hour, and a large number of armored vehicles drove at high speed at 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, and 100 meters, bringing up smoke and dust all the way, and under the roar of the motors, it looked even more imposing.

Until they approached 50 or 30 meters of the Qing army, the armored troops did not open fire, and the scene on the Qing army's position was already in full view of the drones and the observation ports of various vehicles.

The main task of armored vehicles as a vanguard is to use their speed advantages, firepower advantages, and powerful armor to quickly penetrate the Qing army's defense line, go straight to the city of Gaizhou, and then attack from the rear of the Qing army in a roundabout way to divide and encircle the enemy.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a lightning tactic, which is easy for the Tiance army, and the impact of the large cluster of armored troops is a torrent of steel that the Qing army can hardly resist.

The war in the era of cold weapons pays more attention to the importance of morale, and once the formation is broken by the enemy, it usually means that the war has been lost.

The high-speed armored vehicles jumped over the not wide trenches of the Qing army and rushed in the direction of Gaizhou. The Qing army, who raised their hands and waited to surrender, watched as these steel monsters flew over their heads, bringing down large strands of dirt and raising their heads and faces.

This was followed by a large number of bulldozers with metal grids welded to the driver's windows, pushing piles of dirt into the trenches, and the able-bodied Qing soldiers crawled to the ground with rolling and rolling belts, completely ignoring the wounded soldiers who were still wailing in the trenches and being buried in the mud, and knelt down one by one to surrender.

"Tong, Tongtong!" The sparse gunfire finally rang out, it was the vehicle-mounted machine guns clearing some diehards at the fixed point, and more than 100 armored vehicles penetrated deep into the heart of the Qing army's position, and finally encountered sporadic resistance.
