On the afternoon of January 4, 3011, the 86th Wing of the Celestial Star Empire arrived at the northwest outskirts of Xingang City, which was almost surrounded by the sea on three sides, and could only enter Xingang City from the northwest.

On a hillside six kilometers away from Xingang City, Gao Mingqi, the deputy captain of the 86th Wing of the Tianxing Empire, said to Gao Mingkui, the captain of the Wing, who was holding a map: "Second brother, the cavalry squadron reports that the Liuyun Empire's army has built several trenches in the northwest direction outside the city of Xingang City, but the cavalry squadron has not found any permanent fortifications. ”

Wing Captain Gao Mingkui slowly circled the map, and then said very easily: "Xingang City doesn't even have a city wall, a few trenches are not to worry about, I hope that Su Yi will put all the troops in his hands in these trenches, then after entering the city, it will save a lot of trouble." ”

Gao Mingqi said with a smile: "That one named Su Yi has only one infantry squadron in his hands, even if it is a street fight, it will probably not bring too much trouble to our eighty-sixth wing!" Second brother, it's only two o'clock in the afternoon, is it immediately going to attack Xingang City? ”

Gao Mingkui picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, looked in the direction of Xingang City, then put down the binoculars and nodded slightly, "Order the Fourth Infantry Brigade to attack the enemy trenches outside the city, order the mortar squadron and the infantry artillery squadron to provide artillery cover for the Fourth Infantry Brigade, I hope to spend the night in Xingang City tonight!" ”

"Boom-boom-" Hearing the sound of artillery outside the city, Su Yi, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly calmed down, Su Yi turned his head and said to He Yunfei beside him: "Listen to the sound of artillery, this infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire should not be equipped with large-caliber artillery. ”

In order to facilitate the command of the troops, Su Yi and He Yunfei had moved the headquarters to a private house on the edge of the city, which was only about a kilometer away from the trench fortifications outside the city.

He Yunfei nodded and said: "Commander, the establishment of the army of the Heavenly Star Empire is very similar to that of the Liuyun Empire, the infantry wing will be equipped with 81 mm mortars and 75 mm infantry guns, the infantry brigade will be equipped with 60 mm mortars, and the artillery of an infantry wing will not exceed forty guns. ”

"Our Xingang City Independent Brigade currently only has twenty 60mm mortars, and it seems that we still have to rely on the two battleships in Wang Chengliang's hands to let the artillery squadron on the front line calculate the coordinates of the enemy's artillery position as soon as possible, and then send them to the Jianwei and Yongxiang to knock out the enemy's artillery!"

However, as soon as Su Yi's words fell, the sound of artillery stopped, and then He Yunfei said: "It seems that the enemy's infantry has to taste the power of large-caliber naval guns first. ”

The mortar squadron of the 86th Wing of the Celestial Star Empire was equipped with six 81-mm mortars, and the infantry artillery squadron was equipped with four 75-mm infantry guns.

After the two artillery squadrons of the 86th Wing stopped firing, two infantry squadrons of the 4th Infantry Brigade of the 86th Wing immediately launched a charge.

"Rush--Kill into Newport City-" More than three hundred officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, armed with bayonet rifles, rushed to the position of the Liuyun Empire's army outside Newport City.

However, just as these officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire had just rushed out, the shells fired by the four 305 mm main guns on the battleship Jianwei fell from the sky, and after four violent explosions, more than 300 officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, because the formation of the charge was a little dense, there were only about 30 people left who could stand, and many of them were shocked to death.

Gao Mingkui, the co-captain of the eighty-sixth wing of the Heavenly Star Empire, looked at the four puffs of smoke rising in the distance in amazement, and shouted in disbelief: "What's going on?" With such a power, at least a giant cannon of more than three hundred millimeters, how could the Liuyun Empire army in Xingang City have such a giant cannon! ”

"Second brother, it's a battleship! It's the battleship of the Flowing Cloud Empire! The shells are coming from the port side! Deputy Wing Captain Gao Mingqi shouted in horror.

As soon as Gao Mingqi's words fell, the whistling sound of large-caliber shells flying in the sky was heard again, and the shells fired by the eight 380mm main guns on the battleship Yongxiang immediately fell on the assembly place of the other three infantry brigades of the 86th Wing of the Tianxing Empire, which instantly brought extremely heavy casualties to these three infantry brigades.

"Quick! Fall back! Order all troops! Immediately retreat to the northwest! It's a trap! The Flowing Cloud Empire has laid a trap for us in Newport City! Wing Captain Gao Mingkui shouted hoarsely.

Su Yi didn't expect that the army units under his command didn't even fire a single shot, and only the twelve main guns of the two battleships fired a shell each, and they knocked away an infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire, and also led a lot of casualties to the infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire.

Su Yi took a look at his rank in the system, and he had already skipped from private to private, to ensign, and his experience had become 678/10000.

You must know that Su Yi's previous experience was only 4/100, and it takes a thousand experience for a senior soldier to be promoted to a second lieutenant, that is to say, twelve large-caliber shells killed nearly 1,800 people in the infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire, and this is not the final number, just a few seconds, Su Yi saw that the experience increased by five points, becoming 693/10000, which means that there are five seriously injured soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, and they have also entered the death list.

The rank has been promoted from private to private, and the rewards of the system are very rich, and the caliber 7.92 mm bullets and 9 mm pistol bullets in the mall have increased by a thousand times from a monthly limit of 10,000 rounds to a monthly limit of 10 million rounds, all of which have increased by a thousand times, and the M24 grenade has changed from a monthly limit of 10,000 to a monthly limit of 4 million, an increase of 400 times.

In addition, there are two more products in the system mall, 60mm mortar shells (unit price 100 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 200,000 pieces), 75mm field artillery shells (unit price 400 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 200,000 pieces).

The random reward for advancing to the rank of Private is a Silver Chest.

Now Su Yi doesn't even have a field cannon in his hand, but there are more 75mm field artillery shells in the system mall, Su Yi touched his nose, could it be that the silver treasure chest can open a field gun with a caliber of 75 mm?

The rank has been promoted from a senior private to a second lieutenant, and the rewards of the system are more generous, the Mauser 98k rifle, MP34 submachine gun and Walter P38 pistol in the mall have changed from a monthly limit of 1,000 to a monthly limit of 50,000, all of which have increased by 50 times, and the monthly purchase limit of Mauser 98K sniper rifles and MG-42 general-purpose machine guns has also increased by 20 times, and Su Yi can buy 2,000 sniper rifles and 2,000 general-purpose machine guns every month in the future.

Promoted to ensign, eleven items were added to the system shop at once, including five types of shells and one torpedo on the Edward VII-class battleships, three shells and one torpedo on the Bavaria-class battleships, and one 191 mm shell.

Among them, 380 mm shells, 305 mm shells, 234 mm shells, 191 mm shells, 600 mm torpedoes and 457 mm torpedoes are limited to 50,000 per month, and 152 mm shells, 150 mm shells, 88 mm shells, 76 mm shells and 47 mm shells are limited to 500,000 per month.

The random reward for raising the rank to second lieutenant is a golden chest.

Su Yi looked at the system mall with a smile, this time the military rank was promoted by two levels, which not only made him no longer need to worry about the weapons and ammunition of the army in a short period of time, but also solved the ammunition problem of the two battleships of the navy.

"Now this infantry wing of the Celestial Star Empire has been bombarded away by two battleships, do we need to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" Su Yi asked He Yunfei, the officers and soldiers of the Heavenly Star Empire who escaped, in Su Yi's opinion, were all systematic experience.

He Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Commander, the range of the main guns of the Yongxiang and Jianwei is limited, and the enemy will soon leave the range of the main guns of the two battleships. ”

Listening to He Yunfei's words, Su Yi immediately extinguished the idea of sending troops to pursue, "Let the troops outside the city clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen vigilance, guard against that infantry wing of the Heavenly Star Empire, and kill a horse gun!" ”

In fact, Su Yi's worries were absolutely superfluous, the eighty-sixth wing of the Celestial Star Empire, from the wing commander to the ordinary soldiers, had already been frightened by the twelve large-caliber shells fired by the two battleships.

Under the leadership of Wing Commander Gao Mingkui, the 86th Wing ran wildly for more than 10 kilometers before it stopped escaping, and it was already 7 o'clock in the evening of 4 January.

Later, Wing Commander Gao Mingkui counted the losses and found that the 86th Wing, which originally had more than 8,000 people, had only more than 5,800 people left, and there were also a lot of losses in weapons and equipment.

Looking at the gloomy face of the wing captain Gao Mingkui, the deputy wing leader Gao Mingqi hesitated for a moment and said: "Second brother, there are still some soldiers who have fallen behind on the road, and there should be many people returning to the team at night." ”

Wing Commander Gao Mingkui said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the front command headquarters and tell those bastards that our 86th Wing has been shelled by many battleships of the Liuyun Empire Navy outside Xingang City, with losses of more than 2,000 people, and has now retreated to the territory of Qinglin County." ”

Qinglin County belongs to Xingang County, and the county seat of Xingang County is Xingang City, and at this time, the county seat of Qinglin County has been occupied by the army of the Celestial Star Empire.

"Second brother, the loss of our eighty-sixth wing this time should be held responsible by the front-line command, doesn't it mean that the warships of the Liuyun Empire have all fled the southern waters of the Liuyun Empire? And where did the battleship that shelled us come from? ”

Wing Captain Gao Mingkui said with a wry smile: "This time it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince who is the commander-in-chief of the front line, do you think His Royal Highness the Third Prince will be responsible for the loss of our Eighty-Sixth Wing?" ”

Deputy Wing Captain Gao Mingqi shook his head gloomily, "Second brother, what should we do next?" ”

"Alas—waiting for the order of the Front Command, since we know that there is a naval fleet of the Flowing Cloud Empire in Newport City, then the Imperial Royal Navy should not ignore it, maybe our Eighty-sixth Wing still has a chance to take revenge!"
