"Wang Jue! Father's hatred! My hatred of the Ming Dynasty! Gotta get it back! Zhu Mu heard Wang Jue's murmur and knew that the current situation in Liaodong had become so bad that it could not be worse, even if he invested in the new army to fight for it at any cost, it would not end up with any good results. So he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Wang Jue withdrew his gaze from the sand table, nodded and agreed: "Three years, give me three years, I will take back Liaodong for Your Majesty and regain the lost glory that belongs to our Ming Dynasty!" ”

……

"Boom!" In the wheat field outside Panjin City, a huge cannonball fell, and the black smoke from the explosion covered the sky, and in the hastily dug trenches in the farmland, the soldiers of the Ming Empire curled up to avoid the bombardment of enemy shells.

As the Liaodong rebels stormed southwest along the rivers and plains, the troops in the Daming Jiliao area, which had lost its barrier, suffered heavy losses under the assault of the rebel cavalry. When the troops on the Jiliao front finally managed to stabilize their position, they found themselves facing not only the rebels, but also the Japanese army, which was like an ocean.

"Charge! Loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! With a shout, a Japanese commander drew the command knife at his waist and pointed in the direction of the Ming army's trenches, and behind him, one after another, Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trenches, rifles in hand.

"One-two! One or two! These Japanese soldiers adjusted their pace while shouting slogans as they advanced, and they moved forward slowly, little by little, approaching the positions of the defenders of the Ming Empire, and the shells fired by the artillery units behind them landed near the trenches of the Ming army in front of them, with a sharp whistling sound and the deafening explosion that followed. These Japanese soldiers continued to move forward with sporadic gunfire, and from time to time someone was shot and fell......

Compared with the naval force that the whole of Japan has invested almost all its energy to build, the level of the Japanese Army can really only be regarded as average, their rifles are imitated from the Ming Dynasty, and even the caliber is exactly the same as the standard of the Ming Empire.

Of course, in an era when such battles were all played by artillery, and infantry was only a replenishment of strength, the number of infantry was the criterion for determining the power of the attack. After passing through Korea, Japan transported a full 300,000 soldiers to the Liaodong front, and with the entire 200,000 Liaodong rebels, it was already a fairly large offensive force.

"Suddenly! Sudden Sudden Rush! As the Japanese soldiers approached, the hidden heavy machine guns began to roar violently on the positions of the Ming defenders. Dense bullets swept into the crowd of Japanese troops, and in an instant, countless soldiers twisted their bodies and fell.

Like lawnmowers, where heavy machine-gun fire passed, rows after rows of Japanese soldiers lay in pools of blood, and they were ordered to advance and meet the baptism of steel with their own flesh and blood. Soon, the Japanese soldiers, who were a little sane, began to lie down, and the crowd of people like a forest all lay on the ground.

"Stop shooting! Cool the barrel! Inside the trench, a corporal of the Ming Imperial Army leaned against the battlements left in the trench, looked at the opposing soldiers lying down, and loudly reminded his machine gun team. Soon the barrel of the machine gun was stacked with water bags, and the deputy shooter opened the barrel and began to change the chain.

The Weiyuan heavy machine gun is an imported German heavy machine gun technology, which is supplied using a chain and equipped with a water-cooled barrel. The rate of fire and stability of this heavy machine gun are very good, the only drawback is the weight. The Ming Empire has developed the Weiyuan 2 machine gun to replace this outdated heavy machine gun, but due to financial problems, it has not been completely replaced.

"I'm running out of ammunition...... If we don't retreat in the direction of Jinzhou now, we will be surrounded here. An officer stood upright, and the major general, who was in the trench observing the enemy with a telescope, reported. His troops were ordered to defend Panjin, but just a few hours ago, news of the loss had already arrived in Dawa. This also meant that the connection between them and Yingkou was cut off, and once the Panshan defense line was broken, they were completely surrounded in Liaodong.

"Order, the troops must not move, and hold the line to the last moment!" The officer put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed to the black smoke in the distance that had not yet dispersed from the shells, and said to his subordinates: "That is the land of my Ming Dynasty, if you don't think about attacking, how can you have the idea of retreating?" ”

"Boom!" As if in response to his statement, the Japanese and Jin artillery bombardment intensified again, and rounds of artillery fire smashed on the positions of the Ming defenders, stirring up all those black dirt and raising it into the sky. One machine gun position after another, which had just been fired, was overwhelmed by artillery fire, and more Japanese soldiers began to charge, and the battle intensified.

Soon, some of the Da Ming Weiyuan machine guns that had just not fired opened fire opened fire again, and the dense firepower was intertwined into a fire net, and the Japanese casualties were once again heavy, and the attack was once again repulsed. Above the heights, the dragon banner of the Ming Empire still fluttered, as if mocking those enemies who could not get close to it.

"Report! Jinzhou called that rebel rangers had appeared near Linghai, and the troops that went south to support us were blocked by the rebels and suffered heavy losses...... Possibly, it may not be reachable. When the adjutant ran back again, he brought dismal news, and at this time, the third round of Japanese attacks had just begun.

"At this time, our army's defense line has been formed, if you want Panjin City behind us, the Japanese will take 100,000 people to fill this hole! Lao Tzu died here today, and he has to pull these turtle grandchildren on their backs! "This major general is also an old veteran, but his sex is like fire, and he swears a lot when he speaks. But his words boosted the morale of those around him, and everyone waved their arms, ready to fight to the death with the enemy on the opposite side.

"General! Checkmate! Panjin, what's going on in Panjin City? While everyone was cheering up, an officer looked at the city behind him with a pale face, pointed to the rear and said in horror.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that a white flag had been erected in Panjin City, and it seemed that the people behind them had surrendered to the rebels.

"Traitor...... Mistake me! The old, white-bearded old general staggered, pointed to the dazzling white flag hanging from the distant city wall with a trembling finger, spat out red blood, and fell on his back on his own position.
