Sun Sheng took the gun, he felt that he was extremely strong at the moment, and the encouragement of the division commander made this young man full of confidence, and even the shells that fell on the position could not shake Sun Sheng's determination. He pulled the bolt of the gun, pulled the trigger with a slight aim, missed the first shot, Sun Sheng continued to repeat the action just now, and the second shot finally achieved results, and an enemy soldier who was holding a gun and lingering was hit by himself. He didn't have time to feel the first killing, and continued to skillfully operate the rifle in his hand.

Two hundred meters behind the position, the artillery of the 10th town opened fire, and now it was the time for the provisional artillery regiment of the 3rd Division to counterattack. The position of the enemy artillery was quickly marked - the position of the artillery in the 10th town was clearly indicated by the hot air balloons raised high and the fire of the enemy artillery. The artillery staff quickly calculated the shelling Zhuyuan, the artillery loudly reported that the shells had been loaded, the artillery commander waved down the flag, "tom", the infantry guns opened fire fiercely, and the shells galloped out.

The artillery position composed of thirty guns was suddenly deafening, on the position, the sound of artillery bombardment from behind made the soldiers morale greatly boosted, the line of fire composed of heavy machine guns and light machine guns caused the enemy to suffer heavy losses, Sun Sheng had stopped shooting, and the enemy retreated and ran out of the rifle range before he could finish a magazine.

Zhang Qing, the commander of the artillery battalion, played with the Colt six-shot revolver in his hand, sat on a rock, and not far in front of him were 10 Krupp fast guns firing continuously. The artillery of the tenth town is still good, and Zhang Qing was born in the Hunan army, and he is very familiar with artillery, which is a rare artillery talent. The Krupp 75mm mountain cannon is also the latest, and Xu Yingkui used his connections in Beijing to squeeze it out of Beiyang's mouth. I heard that the rebel party also has artillery, and now let myself teach that group of mud legs how to **!

"Boom!" A loud bang came from Zhang Qing's side, and he immediately fell to the ground, followed by a puff of smoke and dust. Not good, it's the artillery of the rebellious party, they want to hit their own artillery positions!

"Quick, find me the artillery position of the rebellious party!" Before he could finish speaking, a second shell followed, this time more accurately, landing at a distance of twenty meters from the artillery position. The artillerymen did not yet have the courage to work under the shells, and they all lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Hurry up and fight back, or you'll all die!" It's too late, more shells are falling, explosions are continuous, this is not what your own ten cannons can shoot, there are many more artillery pieces of the chaotic party than yourself!

"My lord, the firepower of the rebel party's position is too fierce, and rashly charging is killing us, we can't do this kind of money-losing business!" The commander of the First Association who was responsible for the first wave of the attack came to complain, and more than 1,000 people in the first standard of the First Association suffered more than 400 casualties before they could touch the position of the chaotic party, if it weren't for the brothers running fast, more would have died!

God, all the legends about the rebels are true, there are more machine guns than rifles, and bullets are denser than heavy rain. Sun Daoren, the commander of the tenth town, was already frightened by the death on the battlefield, his brows were connected and he didn't say a word, and the co-commander of the lower part stared at Sun Daoren, hoping that he would give the order to withdraw his troops.

Although it was the first attack, everyone could see that the Tenth Town was not on the same level as the people at all, "My lord, let the Japanese and the chaotic party eat the dog, let's retreat temporarily first, and wait for the opportunity to enter Guangdong again!" The words of an assistant commander reminded Sun Daoren, and he came back to his senses and was just about to order the temporary withdrawal of troops, when a huge explosion came from the artillery position, and the explosion continued to become dense, although it was still a few hundred meters away from the artillery position, everyone could feel the impact of the explosion.

Suddenly, a huge explosion came, huge smoke and dust rose dozens of meters, and the shells piled up on the position were finally detonated, and the starting position here was also affected, and hundreds of soldiers died because of the explosion. The artillery positions of the tenth town were reimbursed.

Sun Daoren and the others lay on the ground in shock, not noticing the change in the mood of the soldiers, the situation of the first attack was clearly seen by everyone, hundreds of corpses lying in front of the position and allowed the sun to shine, which had already made the soldiers of the tenth town lose morale. And the explosion of the artillery position hit the soldiers again, the battlefield is too cruel, human life is gone, whoever is willing to work for the court will stay here, Lao Tzu will not serve! Some of the clever veterans began to see an opportunity to escape, and the recruits were also trembling and didn't know what to do.

"Recalculate the artillery bombardment, the target, the 10th town assembly position!" The order was transmitted to the artillery position through the herald, and the firing was already calculated, and the artillery quickly adjusted the muzzle. The growth rate of artillery was amazing, and actual combat was indeed the best way to train, and thirty guns were fired one after another.

The fear of artillery fire and death made the soldiers of Tenth Town subconsciously huddle, which made the power of artillery fire to the maximum, and the successive falling shells finally completely destroyed the morale of Tenth Town, and the soldiers could not find the officer lying on the ground to hide. Some veterans first threw away their rifles and turned to run, and then led all the soldiers with them, and a big rout was formed!

"Blow the trumpet!" Lu Chu spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, turned to the herald and said: "Stop the artillery shelling, ask the second and third brigades where they are now, let them speed up, and don't let the tenth town escape back." He also did not expect that the battle would be so short, according to estimates, it would take more than an hour for the 2nd and 3rd Brigades to reach the designated position, and it was still unknown whether the route of the 10th Town could be blocked.

At the same time as the battle of Wanjialing began, the battle of Zhangmu Town had just begun, and the Japanese army marched quickly, and the convenient highway allowed the Japanese army to easily move artillery and baggage. At 3 p.m. on April 14, before and after arriving at the position of the First Division of the Second Army of the Zhangmu Zhenguo Army, the Second Division of Nishikuanjiro immediately began to deploy artillery and make preparations for the attack.

Even if the enemy was lightly attacked, the 2nd Division was carried out in strict accordance with the infantry drill code, the scouts went around to reconnoiter the fortifications of the 1st Division, the artillery calculated the artillery bombardment, the infantry checked the equipment and prepared for the attack, and the heavy troops camped and built fortifications. Appear methodical and well-trained.

Nishikuan Jiro was using binoculars to check the position of the Zhenguo Army with the command level, and it was a great shame for himself to lose hundreds of his troops in the battle of Humen. However, the vertical and horizontal trenches and barbed wire made Nishikuan Jiro's originally restless heart settle down, and the other party obviously had sufficient preparations, the fortifications were strong and extensive, and the reconnaissance returned, and the other side had at least 10,000 people, and it was impossible to bypass it. If you want to attack Canton, you must pass through this position.

"Division commander, you see, the trenches on the enemy's positions are criss-crossed, and they seem to be chaotic, but in fact they are very reasonably distributed, and we will be attacked by the enemy's staggered fire from any attack. And I noticed that there are a lot of strange fortifications in the shape of dirt bags, and for the time being I don't understand what they are, is there artillery in them? ”

"Did you find any enemy artillery positions?"

"Not yet, it should be behind the position, it will take a long time for us to go around and reconnoitre, so it is not clear the number and caliber of enemy artillery."

"It's okay, after the start of the battle, our artillery wing will solve the problem of enemy artillery. It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm going to pass Camphor before dark! Nishikanjiro ordered.

The first attack wave was quickly prepared, and an infantry wing of more than 2,000 men set out from a distance of a thousand meters and moved slowly towards the position of the first division. Many of them were veterans of the Sino-Japanese War, some had participated in the battles of the previous year, and were no strangers to the Manchu army. But strict orders and contempt for the enemy made them ignore the strange places, and whatever the reason for the layers of barbed wire in front of the fortifications, they simply followed the drill machinery to advance.

After a brief test firing of the 72 guns of the field artillery wing, a large-scale artillery bombardment began, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust on the military fortifications of Zhenguo, and Le Fei wandered back and forth on the positions of his platoon, shouting loudly: "Wait for the order to shoot again, all bow down, and be careful of the shrapnel of the shells!" Then he patted the recruits on the shoulder, and the touch from his hands made Le Fei know that these recruits were trembling, how could it not be the case when he fought for the first time, but this is what recruits must experience.
