The third regiment was a quick robbery regiment, and the heavy burden was reduced a lot, so Liu Shengli's troops, even if they detoured most of the distance, quickly moved to the junction of the two Qing armies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mines, horse pits, stumbling ropes, all the means that can deal with cavalry were all used by Liu Shengli.

Soon, near the official road where the three regiments were located, Wuli and the like, were all traps, and Liu Shengli brought them in, guarding the mountain roads on both sides, waiting for the battle to start.........

Midnight was approaching, and two teams of Ming soldiers dressed in black and smeared with oil paint on their faces came to the two hills outside Fengtai Mountain where the Qing army was stationed.

The equipment of these two groups of Ming troops was completely different from the concept of all-firearms of the Suzhou New Army, except for grenades, they did not carry other firearms, but carried crossbows on their backs and daggers in their hands.

Obviously, this is a special unit created by Li Hongfei according to the model of later generations of scouts.

These two special forces soon approached the forward posts of the Qing army.

Two black shadows flashed, and the two Qing soldiers who were dozing off next to the fire fell asleep forever before they could say anything.

After that, there was a low buzzing sound, and the three Qing soldiers lurking in the shadows, covering their throats with their hands, wanted to shout loudly, but they couldn't make a sound, they could only stare at a group of "black-clothed grimaces", quickly passing by, and after struggling for a while, the three people lay on the ground and didn't move.........

In order to guard against the Shenji battalion, the Qing army not only increased the number of posts, but also arranged a large number of secret posts, which can be described as painstaking.

However, all this was nothing more than a joke for the scouts of the new army in Suzhou.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the hills on both sides were cleared, and then a man in black raised the torch left by the Qing army and waved it towards the east (the Qing army was in the west, and Zhang Chao's troops were in the east).

Soon, the artillery units of the Ming army were pushed out from both sides of the official road, crossed the hill guarded by the Qing army before, and headed towards the Qing army camp.

"Enough is enough........ This distance can cover most of the Qing army's military camps, and further on, I am afraid that the Qing army will find out. A staff officer of the artillery regiment reminded in a low voice.

"Fucking ball-counting, anyway, the division commander only lets me play for a quarter of an hour, so be it!" The head of the regiment said helplessly.

According to his idea, he directly pushed the artillery to the gate of the Qing army, and then let the infantry cover, he used the artillery to flatten the Qing army camp, and solved the battle without the infantry charge, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Damn it, it's almost the hour, isn't it?"

The artillery was already in place, and the artillery commander was a little impatient.

"Wait, take the commander's signal flare as an order." The staff officer said.

The key to the difference between the Suzhou New Army and other Ming armies lies in the order.

In the past, the generals of the Ming army basically fought according to their own likes and dislikes, except for the frontal battle of the large corps, the rest were basically done when they met, where would they wait for other friendly troops, or wait for the time to attack?

The victory or defeat of a war, in addition to luck, is the commander's ability to grasp the fighter, to put it bluntly, it is to fight a war by feeling.

Today's Suzhou New Army is different, unless it is discovered by the enemy, it must wait for the final order to attack, because the layout of the staff is not for a certain army, but for the whole picture.

Even the time of arrival of each unit has a hard and fast rule, you can arrive early, but you must not be late.

The artillery regiment is an early arrival unit, but there are other units that may not be in place, so the artillery regiment cannot attack first.

Coordinated operations are the first key to the fighting of the Suzhou New Army.

This is true of the three regiments that left first, the scouts who infiltrated the enemy camp and cleared the outposts, and the artillery regiment was naturally no exception.

Waiting is tormenting, especially under the noses of the enemy..........

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, from the depths of Fengtai Mountain, a flame rose into the sky, and the time for the general attack finally arrived!

"Fucking the balls, all cheer up the labor and management, how to play in the usual training, and now how to play for the labor and management, the speed must be fast, you only have a quarter of an hour, fire the labor and capital, bomb the fucking ball!" The artillery commander shouted.

With his shout, the artillerymen took out the matches they had brought with them, quickly lit the torches next to them, and placed them on the already filled gun leads.

The invention of matches greatly accelerated the ignition of artillery, and the Qing troops on the opposite side found that the torches had been lit, and the shells had already hit their heads.

More than a hundred artillery salvos covered most of the enemy camp in an instant, and at this time, the earplugs made of cotton wool did not work.........

The tremor of the earth made it very clear to the awakened Qing soldiers that this was not the musket used by a small force to harass them, but a genuine cannon.

"Cannon! It's a cannon! We are surrounded by the Ming army! A Qing soldier reacted and shouted loudly.

Then he was beheaded by a Qing army general: "Kill those who bewitch the hearts of the army!" All the soldiers take up their weapons and rush out with me! ”

The general finished his authority and began to form a team, preparing to fight out of the barracks.

However, he had only taken two steps forward when a cannonball struck him impartially, and the unlucky general was torn into several pieces in an instant.

The Qing army, which was finally gathered by him, also dispersed in a hurry at this time, looking for various places to avoid the shelling, how could they still have the heart to go out of the camp and rush to kill.

"Fucking balls, let the rocket battalion come to a big one, put four hundred tigers on labor and management, set these camps on fire completely, and burn the fucking balls!" The commander of the artillery regiment was not satisfied with the results of the first two rounds of shelling, so he directly asked the rocket battalion below to amplify his moves.

"Hundred Tigers Running Together" is currently the largest vehicle-mounted rocket launcher of the Suzhou New Army, which is similar to the "two-kick" of later generations, with an effective range of up to 500 meters, and is the longest-range rocket weapon except for the "fire dragon out of the water".

Because the manufacturing process is relatively simple, Nanjing's Ordnance Bureau can also manufacture them in batches, so after Li Hongfei took over Nanjing's urban defense, he organized craftsmen to produce such firearms in large quantities.

Zhang Chao has seen the shocking scene of "Fire Dragon Out of the Water" again, and he is also particularly interested in rocket weapons, and when the weapons are allocated, he took the initiative to give up some heavy artillery and exchange a large number of rockets with Stilwell's third division.

And Stilwell himself pays more attention to defense, and the more heavy artillery the better for him, so the two happily reached this "arms deal".

The artillery regiment of the Second Division did not have much heavy artillery, which is also the real reason why Zhang Chao's artillery unit was not very effective at the beginning.

However, when the "Hundred Tigers Rush Together" fired four times in a row, combined with the third round of salvo fire from the upper artillery regiment, the entire firepower density instantly increased by more than three times.

Soon, the rocket ignited the camp tent of the Qing army, and the Qing army pretended to be smart to replace a lot of firearms in order to drive away the Shenji battalion, so the camp tent that caught fire ignited the gunpowder stored by the Qing army, causing a martyrdom, so that many Qing soldiers who were dodging shells everywhere were finally killed by their own firearms.

The salvo of 400 rockets, although not as spectacular as the original "fire dragon out of the water", but its effect is not bad at all.
