"Hahaha!" Wang Le held the binoculars and watched the front-line positions withdraw, Sun Jun laughed, "Let you also taste the power of the cannon." ”

Zhang Biao, the commander of the Second Division, was also overjoyed, "Dashuai, this firearm is too powerful, what kind of cannon is this, it looks like a fat tiger!" ”

Wang Le rubbed his fingers and said proudly, "This is called a mortar cannon, and it couldn't be better against their trench position." Immediately send people to seize their first-line positions, and after occupying them, they will use the same method to attack their second-line positions with mortars. Li Fulin, a bastard, sent a telegram every day to ask us about the situation of the war, and if we didn't occupy Sun Baldzi's position, the Cantonese army would definitely not go north with us. ”

"Yes, you see, this is going to take me up with my brothers. Damn, this bastard has killed so many of our brothers, I must capture him alive. Zhang Biao rushed forward with his men.

Wang Le's army rushed to the front line after the artillery fire stopped, and at this time the remnants of the brigade that had been driven back by Sun Bald met them in the trenches, and because the distance was too close, the two sides engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat. Hu Jin of the Stormtrooper Regiment held a big long knife and slashed at Sun Jun like crazy. "I'll let you taste this!"

The remnants of the 1st Brigade had no intention of fighting, and the team that encountered Hu Jin completely lost its combat effectiveness, and saw that the front-line position was almost unable to hold on.

The commander of the second regiment of the third brigade saw that the front-line position was about to collapse, and he took the initiative to ask Sun Bald to fight, "Marshal, the first brigade has collapsed, let's go to the regiment." ”

Sun Bald did not reply in a hurry, but carefully observed the front-line position through the telescope. On the front-line position, part of Wang Le's army drove a large and short cannon with a cart to march up the earthen slope. "Damn, I said why is the elevation angle so high, and it took a long time to remove the mortars on the warship."

The military attache was from the army, so he naturally didn't know about the mortar cannon, so he asked, "Have you heard of mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortar artillery, what kind of new cannon?" ”

Sun Bald explained, "Mortars are generally installed on warships. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians fought on land in order to compete with little Japan for our important port in the northeast, when the Japanese dug trenches only a few dozen meters away from the Russian positions. It was difficult for the Russian army to attack the Japanese with ordinary artillery, so in the end they tried to remove the mortars on the warships to kill the little devils, and the effect was very good. With a firing range of 45 to 65 degrees and a range of less than 400 meters, this artillery is particularly suitable for close combat. However, this cannon is very stupid and cannot be disassembled, so it is not very popular. ”

The second regiment commander of the third brigade said, "Mortar, since it is something on a warship, how can Wang Le have it?" ”

"After the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, didn't the Qing Dynasty ask the British again to buy ships and reorganize the navy? Most of the soldiers and leaders in the navy are of the Fujian family. More than half of the naval chiefs who served during this period were Fujianese, so it is not unusual for Wang Le, a Fujianese, to be able to get mortars. The military attache analyzed.

Sun Bald waved his hand, "There is no point in analyzing how the mortar cannon came about. Second Regiment Commander, the Second Regiment of your Third Brigade is divided into two routes, and some of them go directly to the front-line position to rush to the remnants of the First Brigade. Give me another battalion to break through from the flanks to the front of the front-line position. The task of this battalion is to stop the enemy in the tunnel from converging with the enemy who follows him. We're going to eat the king's army that ran in the tunnel and destroy their mortars, understand? ”

"Understood!" Finally, the only remaining regiment of the 3rd Brigade was also brought into battle.

The second regiment commander of Xu Hu's division made a heavy report to Sun Baldzi, "Dashuai, leave some seeds for the third brigade." Our division still has three regiments in the north, and the formation has not yet been disabled, so let our regiment go first. ”

Sun Bald waved his hand, "Don't say it, good steel is used on the blade, your division is well-armed and good at defense, once the front line is defeated, it will be all expected for you to hold our second-line position." ”

The first battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Brigade got the task of flanking the assault, and they did not rush forward, but secretly climbed out of the tunnel and waited for the frontal attack of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions.

The second regiment commander rushed forward with his men and rushed to the front-line position.

At this time, the remnants of the brigade in the tunnel had been almost cleaned up, and Hu Jin's big knife was split.

"Commander, they're rushing up again." The adjutant reported to Hu Jin.

Hu Jin took off the hat of a dead body of Sun Jun and wiped his big knife, "Okay, the mortar is ready, hit the fuck hard." ”

Although the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment were brave, they were still inexperienced in the face of mortar attacks. Their attacking formations were densely arranged, and the distance between the soldiers was no more than a step. Moreover, there is no order of attack in a rush of attack, and it should be that the attacking troops are divided into four or five independent groups and advance separately in different directions.

Sun Bald shouted, "Don't get together, don't get together." ”

It was too late, the shells of the mortar flew out, and the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment fell one after another. The frontal attack was blocked, and the commander of the first battalion knew that it was time for them to attack. They circled a large semicircle, just took advantage of the short radius of the mortar attack, and dodged the mortar attack and successfully assaulted to the front of the front-line position. Hu Jin's assault regiment only paid attention to the frontal attacking team, ignoring the surprise soldiers who flanked them.

The commander of the first battalion concentrated the heavy machine guns and grenades of the whole battalion to the first company. The soldiers of the first company took the lead, and with the huge firepower that broke out in a short period of time, they successfully tore apart the junction of Wang Le's follow-up reinforcements and the front-line position assault regiment. Zhang Biao didn't expect Sun Bald to come to this hand, and a company of dense firepower suppressed his troops. The soldiers were knocked down one by one, and Zhang Biao could only organize the soldiers to retreat, temporarily retreat from their edge, and look for opportunities to fight again. But when Zhang Biao retreated, he completely threw Hu Jin into Sun Bald's small pocket.

Zhang Biao looked at the retreating Zhang Biao from the front-line position and scolded, "Zhang Biao, your grandmother." ”

The commander of the 1st battalion left the 2nd company to support the 1st company to continue to block the enemy, and he took the 3rd company to kill a return rifle, and they rushed to the artillery position behind the assault regiment, and killed the soldiers guarding the mortar artillery with three strikes and five divisions, and the mortar was extinguished in an instant. At this moment, the 1st and 2nd Battalions, which had been beaten to pieces, had a chance to breathe, and they had no time to treat the wounded, so they rushed to the front-line position, and they were bound to completely annihilate the assault regiment and capture Hu Jin alive.

Hu Jin knew that his momentum was gone, and the soldiers beside him knelt on the ground one after another and raised their guns above their heads. He no longer had the strength to blame the surrendering men, so he pulled a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger at his temple.

After the second regiment commander completely occupied the front-line position, he came to Hu Jin's corpse, and he saluted a military salute, "What a man!" ”

Then he ordered his subordinates to cut off Hu Jin's head with a broadsword, and then inserted a long pole in the front-line position, and hung Hu Jin's head on the long pole.
