"Is this the First Division of the East China Sea?" Zhong Yunlong looked at the soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom who were retreating like a tide, and said with some interest. The original nervous mood turned into full disdain.

"Don't look down on this first division, we are just more advanced in weapons than them. The people of the East China Sea retreated, and I estimate that the people of the East China Sea have suffered a big loss and will not attack directly. One moment there may be an artillery bombardment, so that all those who are not necessary will stand up and leave the position, and the rest of the people will crouch in the trenches with their heads in their hands. Song Yu ordered.

Hearing Song Yu's order, Zhong Yunlong nodded, the people of the East China Sea have suffered a big loss, and there may really be a fierce artillery bombardment, and many people continue to stay in the trenches, and at this time they are purely sending them to death.

Sure enough, not long after the soldiers retreated, the shelling of the 1st Division began.

The troops attacking the small city northeast of Beikancheng did not take the artillery with them, and all the thirty-six cannons owned by the 1st Division were on the side of Beikancheng.

Cheng Yun, who saw that more than 100 soldiers had been killed in less than five minutes of fighting, roared and gave the order to open fire.

Song Yu, the cannon of the Donghai people, had previously captured four guns.

It is a bit similar to Song Yu's previous life, the Shenwei General Cannon during the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Franco Cannon.

This is an iron breech-loading smoothbore cannon, which consists of three parts: the barrel, the belly, and the sub-cannon. When firing a gun, you need to first fill the gunpowder projectile into the sub-cannon, and then load the sub-cannon into the belly of the cannon to ignite the sub-cannon fire door for firing.

However, the cannon of the East China Sea people has a small space and a small capacity, and it is difficult to control. Therefore, it does not have the rapid rate of fire of a real general's cannon.

Even so, this cannon was a very powerful weapon that was put aside a long time ago. But now, as far as Song Yu knows, the level of weapons in some parts of this world has reached the period of World War I in the previous life.

The First Division of the East China Sea came over with thirty-six cannons, that is, it could only bully and bully Song Yu without this kind of long-range weapon.

Song Yu has not yet considered buying the more advanced artillery during the First World War, mainly because the domestic roads in the East China Sea are not neat, and after purchasing, it is very difficult to transport. After it stabilizes, Song Yu will buy some cannons and equip them.

"Boom, boom—"

The artillery began to fire violently, and explosions were heard everywhere in the positions outside the entire northern view city.

The artillery of the first division was also much more powerful than the four guns that Song Yu had captured, and the shells fell on the positions of the Xinxia people, and the explosion range was thirty or forty meters long!

Stone chips flew everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder after the explosion, and the smell of gunpowder filled the entire battlefield.

Song Yu didn't expect the artillery fire of the First Division to be so fierce, fortunately, he let Niu Yi and Long Yi command the soldiers to dig trenches in advance, if they stood on the ground and fought against the East China Sea people, I don't know how much loss there would be.

After digging the trenches, it was difficult for the shells of the Donghai people to accurately hit the trenches, and the soldiers in the trenches were ordered to squat down with their heads in their hands, so the losses were not large.

However, there were still some unlucky eggs that were blown up, and Song Yu asked people to be quickly sent to Beiguan City for treatment.

The fierce shelling lasted for about an hour, and Cheng Yun smiled with satisfaction as he watched the entire vicinity of the New West Asia position, which had been blown out of huge craters and smoke and dust flying everywhere.

"Order the regiment just now, give me to continue the attack!" Cheng Yun gritted his teeth and said.

He believed that the heavy shelling just now must have brought heavy casualties to the Neosia people.

Song Yu held the binoculars in his hand, saw that the Donghai people began to rush over again, and immediately ordered the soldiers who had hid in the distance to return to their positions, and the soldiers on the positions were all ready to attack, just waiting to give the Donghai people a thunderous blow.

Song Yu originally wanted to play with the Donghai people, but the shelling of the Donghai people made Song Yu very angry, and Song Yu had already ordered Zhong Yunlong not to think about anything else this time, he must beat the Donghai people hard.

Zhong Yunlong, who received the order, was very excited, not only ordered all the machine gun bullets to be loaded, but even the mortars were prepared by him.

"Commander, are we running out of artillery?" Zhong Yunlong said.

There were only ten doors in total, and after half of them were given to Wu Feitian, there were only five doors left for him here.

"I'll buy more. Not so many people are going to fire now! Song Yu shook his head and said, if there were enough artillery now, of course he would be willing to buy more mortars.

A regiment of Tokai soldiers began to charge again, and this time the soldiers of Tokai were excited.

What if the Neosia people had advanced rifles? It's not that they shelled it, and I don't know how much damage it is.

But soon, this time when they rushed to a distance of six or seven hundred meters, there was a continuous sound of breaking the air, and the Mortied mortar began to shell the Donghai people at the maximum rate of fire, and one shell after another exploded in the charging army of the Donghai Kingdom, and many Donghai soldiers were directly blown away by the bombs.

However, the number of mortars was limited after all, and the 1st Division was not without heavy enemy shelling. This level of shelling only brought some small disturbances to the people of the East China Sea, who were still charging rapidly.

But they had just dodged the shells, and they were met with bullets flying everywhere.

Of the sixteen Makqin machine guns newly purchased by Song Yu, only five were given to Wu Feitian, plus the previous ones, there were sixteen Makqin machine guns left on the position, forming a strong firepower circle.

The soldiers of machine gunners and mortars, Song Yu was trained by Long Yi together, so now there is no shortage of machine gunners.

This area is almost all plains, and there is not even a place to hide, the moment fifteen machine guns fire together.

The bullets swept out formed a barbed copper wall and smashed into the soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom, and countless soldiers of the First Division began to wail.

The muskets in their hands had a range of more than 100 meters, about 200 meters, and they could not reach the positions of the Neosia people at all.

Even if it hit, it was not accurate at all, and it was all outside the position.

However, if the 1st Division is tenacious enough, it will charge forward with a rain of bullets.

"Rush forward, we are the first division! You will definitely be able to defeat these Neo-Sia! A battalion commander yelled.

"All soldiers, fire!" Zhong Yunlong heard the battalion commander's yell, and said with a sneer.

Suddenly, on the entire defense line, plus Xi Yuanguo's troops, thousands of people fired at the same time, and the steel storm formed by the bullets swept through the military formation of the Donghai people, and the soldiers of the Donghai Kingdom who were charging frantically fell in pieces as if they were crushed by the rain of bullets.

Flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the original plain suddenly became a hellish scene.
