Chapter 021: Bombardment of the Dian Army (continued)

"Quick! Hurry, hurry! โ€

Feng Chen, commander of the Yunnan artillery regiment, loudly urged all the artillery to speed up their movements, so as to increase the intensity of the artillery bombardment.

Boom-boom-boom-

Through his glasses, Feng Chen was satisfied to see that the position of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army had been blown up to the ground, and in just a few breaths, it was turned into a flat ground.

"Now, the group of turtles in the Sichuan army should understand what real artillery is, right? Sichuan army turtles, you must remember, don't take out the small cannon like a toy! Feng Chen was very proud of the powerful strength of his artillery regiment, and at the same time, he couldn't help but despise the small artillery of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army that carried around in his heart.

"Continue to move the shells, the commander-in-chief said, don't be stingy, let those turtles of the Sichuan army see what artillery is!" Feng Chen shouted loudly and ordered the next round of shelling to continue.

At this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound of breaking the air from the sky.

No, what kind of sound is this?

Feng Chen chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the sky.

"That's ...... That's a cannonball! Feng Chen's face changed drastically, and he shouted in a lost voice, "Shelling, lie down, lie down!" โ€

Feng Chen's reminder was too late, because he didn't expect to be shelled at all, so the soldiers of the Yunnan Army Artillery Regiment were not prepared at all, and they were blown up on their backs in an instant.

Thirty shells slammed down, and countless shrapnel shot out in all directions, cutting the soldiers of the Dian army into pieces. What really caused huge casualties was the high-heat shock wave generated by the explosion of the shells, and many soldiers were shocked to death.

The soldiers of the Yunnan artillery regiment had not yet recovered from the first round of shelling, and the second round of shelling arrived, and thirty shells whistled again.

The two shells hit the shells stacked by the artillery regiment of the Yunnan Army, causing a large explosion, and the entire artillery position of the Yunnan Army fell into a sea of fire. The soldiers of the artillery regiment who had survived the first two rounds of shelling were set on fire and became a burning man, rolling around in pain and screaming, and died a terrible death.

In the third round of shelling, the artillery regiment of the Dian army was completely wiped out, and the entire artillery position was razed to the ground.

Without artillery support, the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army was finally able to come out of the anti-artillery hole and launch a counterattack against the Dian army that was about to rush into the position.

"Hit, hit hard! Race the stun gun, race the stun gun and fire immediately! Seeing that the situation was critical, Hao Gang personally rushed to the front line and organized a defensive line.

Dada-

More than a dozen or twenty Makqin heavy machine guns emerged from all directions of the position like a trick, spewing out tongues of fire, frantically harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Yunnan army.

Through the binoculars, Han Jianduo, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army, was dumbfounded, and scolded angrily: "What is Feng Chen's bastard doing? Open the cannon, tell Feng Chen immediately, and immediately blow up all the electric guns on the position of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army for me! โ€

At this time, the shells stacked in the rear artillery positions exploded, and a violent roar came, and even the general headquarters of the Dian Army was shaken.

Han Jianduo stumbled under his feet and almost fell on the spot without standing firmly.

"What's going on, where did the explosion happen?" Han Jianduo had an ominous premonition in his heart, the direction of the explosion seemed to be on the side of the artillery regiment, he vaguely felt that something might have happened to the artillery regiment, but he hoped that it was just a small accident.

Zhang Lijun, who urgently went to understand the situation, soon came back, and reported to Han Jianduo with a gloomy expression: "Commander-in-chief, the artillery regiment ...... The artillery regiment was heavily shelled by the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and had ...... It's all gone. โ€

"What? No way, it's absolutely impossible! Han Jianduo shouted unacceptably, "Didn't you say that the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is only equipped with some small-caliber artillery that can carry it around?" With such a small-caliber artillery, the firing range simply cannot reach our artillery positions, how can it be possible to shell an artillery regiment? It's absolutely impossible! โ€

Looking at Han Jianduo, who was out of shape, Zhang Lijun lowered his head and said helplessly: "This ...... I don't know very well either, but ...... The artillery regiment is indeed completely wiped out now. โ€

Before Han Jianduo and the others could recover from the blow of the annihilation of the entire artillery regiment, Wang Mo adjusted the artillery target again and prepared to start the next round of shelling.

"Adjust the artillery bombardment of Zhuyuan, target the position of the Dian army, two consecutive rapid shots, open the artillery!" Wang Mo waved the order again.

Thirty 75-mm Grusen mountain guns roared again, and thirty shells smashed into the Dian position.

Boom-boom-boom-

The heavy artillery bombardment blew up a dead flesh and blood barrier between the Dian troops who had already launched a charge and were preparing to attack, and the fierce charge of the Dian army was instantly halted.

When Wang Haoshan saw this scene, he waved his fist and shouted: "Good fight, blow up these turtle sons!" โ€

The offensive of the Yunnan army was sluggish, and the southern Sichuan revolutionary army immediately seized the opportunity to increase the counterattack force. In just a few minutes, the Dian army fell in pieces, and the corpses were stacked layer after layer, with heavy casualties.

Han Jianduo's heart was like a knife, and his face flushed strangely.

Poofโ€•โ€•

Finally, he couldn't help but spurt out a large mouthful of blood, and then fell straight backwards.

"Commander-in-Chief!" "Military doctor, call the military doctor!" โ€

There was chaos in the headquarters of the Dian army, and at this critical juncture, the commander-in-chief Han Jianduo vomited blood and fell into a coma, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the entire Dian army.

The shelling continued, and Wang Mo, who was holding a large amount of silver in his hand, didn't know what economy meant at all, and he just wanted to bury the entire Yunnan army with shells, so that the southern Sichuan revolutionary army could win with minimal casualties.

"Artillery fire extends, free shelling, artillery fire!" Wang Mo deliberately maximized the power of the artillery, and beat and collapsed the Dian army at one time, making the Dian army tremble when he remembered the artillery of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army!

The artillery bombardment, regardless of the cost, was extremely terrible, and countless shells peared the positions of the Yunnan army over and over again, which directly led to the complete collapse of the Yunnan army.

In fact, after Han Jianduo vomited blood and fell into a coma, the officers of the Dian army took the lead in retreating with Han Jianduo, which allowed them to escape the shelling.

After the high-ranking officers of the Yunnan army retreated, the entire Yunnan army completely collapsed, and the only thought left in the minds of almost all soldiers was to flee, flee quickly. The shelling was so terrible that they had no courage to do anything but turn and run away.

The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army did not miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and all the officers and men jumped out of their positions and launched a pursuit of the defeated Yunnan army, and pursued until the Sichuan-Yunnan border.

After this battle, the Yunnan army no longer had the courage to fish in the troubled waters of Sichuan, and Wang Haoshan's Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army became famous in World War I, famous throughout Sichuan, and even other provinces also heard of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

It was the forces of all sides in Sichuan Province that were really shaken, especially the Shu military government in Chongqing.

After successfully dismantling the forces of local warlords such as Lin Shaoquan, Bushu and Tian Zhengkui in eastern and northern Sichuan, the Shu military government was full of confidence and sharpened its knives and prepared to clean up the southern Sichuan revolutionary army after the defeat of the Dian army.

As a result, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army won a brilliant victory, defeating the powerful Yunnan army, and the Shu military government no longer dared to act rashly, and the situation in the whole of Sichuan changed dramatically.

The Shu military government had such a reaction, not to mention the southern Sichuan military government in Luzhou, and all parties in the city of Luzhou were nervous, for fear that the southern Sichuan revolutionary army would enter Luzhou in the next moment.

This battle also attracted the attention of Shinsuke Kimura, who had been staring at the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

"Asano-kun, you said that the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is equipped with at least twenty or thirty Grusen mountain guns with a caliber of more than 75 mm? This is impossible, it costs at least a million oceans to buy so many artillery, where can such a small local warlord nest in southern Sichuan have so much money? Even if they had so much money, they wouldn't have been able to buy so many German-made guns! Shinsuke Kimura threw away the investigation report submitted by Taro Asano in disbelief.

Taro Asano bowed his head solemnly and said, "Although I don't believe it either, this is indeed the truth. It was with these Grusen mountain artillery that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was able to defeat the powerful Dian Army. According to the intelligence of our Great Japanese Empire, the Dian army is very strong in combat effectiveness among the armies of the local warlords in China. โ€

Originally, Kimura Shinsuke ordered to pay attention to collecting information on the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, just to be prepared to avoid growing into a powerful and uncontrollable Sichuan warlord. But now, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has become a powerful force that can influence the situation in Sichuan, which really caught him off guard.

"There are still 20 or 30 Grusen mountain guns with a caliber of 75 mm, which is definitely not what ordinary arms dealers can provide, is there a German force behind Wang Haoshan? Asano-kun, at all costs, we must find out as soon as possible who the arms supplier of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is? "Kimura Shinsuke has a hideous face, he seems to have sensed that the situation in Sichuan is gradually getting out of control, and the Japanese Empire has no influence on Wang Haoshan's Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, which is too tricky.

"Hey!" Taro Asano agreed to feel the severity of the matter.

"I can't turn a blind eye anymore, I will talk to the Wang family father and son again as soon as possible. If they are still unwilling to accept the friendship of our Great Japanese Empire, then they must be severely suppressed and even annihilated! Kimura Shinsuke slapped the table hard, his expression was hideous, and he had a murderous intention in his heart, when he really had no choice, he had to take extraordinary measures to solve the Wang family's father and son. The Great Japanese Empire needed a controlled, chaotic Sichuan, not a strong, unified Sichuan.

Because of the strong rise of the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan was already extremely chaotic, and now the Japanese are secretly exerting influence and muddying the waters.

Wang Mo didn't pay attention to these, or he didn't have time to pay attention to them. After driving the Dian army out of Sichuan, he pulled Lin Yun'er and plunged headlong into the huge plan of "rejuvenating Sichuan through education". All day long, he was either busy choosing a site to build a school, or he was scattering the ocean to abduct teachers everywhere, and he changed from a pure soldier to a contractor and a trafficker.
