Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Artillery Shocks the Enemy's Courage

Hearing the sharp whistling sound of the cannonball breaking through the air, Xu Guofeng's raised head finally hung down weakly, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth! In the smoke of the explosion, the surviving Chinese soldiers burst out with unimaginable bravery, holding explosive bags and holding grenades to drive the soldiers lying on the ground away, and in the flash of the explosion, the soldiers fell to the ground with pieces of miserable howls, and there were stumps and broken arms and scorched internal organs everywhere.

The most feared thing of the Pingsong hero finally happened, the intensity of the artillery fire of the Chinese defenders even exceeded that of the field artillery wing attached to the division, and the middle [***] team of a division actually had so many artillery? Hero Pingsong's brows furrowed involuntarily, in the establishment of the middle [***] battle sequence issued by the General Staff Headquarters, it is absolutely impossible for the division-level units of the Central Army to have the establishment of an artillery regiment, because China has not been able to manufacture artillery, and can only imitate a small number of mortars and grenadiers, even at the army level, there are only artillery battalions, and combat units above the corps level can have artillery regiment-sized artillery.

How can a country where the military and government of a country are not yet unified and cannot even produce pointed bullets be the opponent of the imperial army? But the reality is extremely cruel, the hero of Pingsong looked at the figures of the soldiers who disappeared in the smoke of the explosion, and put down the binoculars very helplessly and said: "Order the troops to withdraw!" Our intelligence has been wrong, and it is likely that there is at least one army in the city. ”

Hero Pingsong didn't notice that he was being targeted! The observation point chosen by the hero of Pingsong can be said to be very hidden, but his ** armored command vehicle was discovered by Qin Feng and Zhang Yang, two observers of the No. 7 Artillery Observation Post. After the two men studied it, they immediately informed the artillery positions of their analysis and position.

Zhang Tianpeng, the commander of the artillery regiment of the forward observation post, attached great importance to it, because this coordinate was at the edge of the maximum range of the artillery, so Zhang Tianpeng personally selected an artillery group for a unified ruler salvo! Zhang Tianpeng's idea is to hit a big luck and catch rabbits with grass, whether there are a few sticks first!

Hero Hiramatsu suddenly remembered that it seemed that the beautiful Chinese girl that his subordinates brought him yesterday should also enjoy it and dispose of it, otherwise it would be a pity that she was so beautiful, how nice it would be if she was herself? I can put her in Mukden's home and treasure it.

But even so, this girl was very honored to be the third human specimen he made! For his persistent pursuit of art and the requirements of near-perfection, a smile appeared on the corner of Hiramatsu's hero's mouth.

Some of the heroes of Pingsong, who could not bear the cold, were preparing to return to the armored command vehicle, and as the brigade commander, it was an act of inconsiderate to personally arrive at the front line to supervise the battle, but since the Battle of Rehe, all the armies of the Yue army have encountered decent resistance and resistance, so the nerves of vigilance have been replaced by arrogant emotions.

Suddenly, the whistling sound of the cannonballs that broke through the air shocked the hero of Pingsong, because this was not the sound of missing bullets in the air, and the dense shelling, before he could react, there were undulating explosions in the hollow, and seven or eight columns of smoke rose into the air!

When the smoke cleared, the surviving officers of the army did not care about rescuing the wounded everywhere, and looked for His Excellency the commander of the Pingsong Heroic Brigade in a panic!

Pingsong Hero, a high-achieving student of Lu University, and is expected to become the youngest lieutenant general division commander in this army, did not expect to be lying in a scorched earth at this moment, the military uniform on his body has become tattered, his right leg is missing from the knee down, revealing white bones and tattered black flesh, and his abdomen has also been torn open a big hole.

When the bodies of several staff officers who were pressed on him were removed, the right hand of the hero of Hiramatsu twitched a few times, and a major general was killed in three hours after the attack, three lieutenants, and two lieutenants? The surviving officers were all stunned, not knowing what to do?

In the end, Captain Naoki trembled and said, "Hurry up and carry His Excellency the brigade commander to the division field hospital!" ”

On the side, a numb expression glanced at Captain Naoki and said, "Let's hurry up and put together the body of the brigade commander!" Not even one less! ”

So more than a dozen officers and men squatted on the ground looking for the legs, fingers, and ears that had been blown away, the brigade commander was killed by the artillery, and the fierce offensive of the 27th Infantry Brigade turned into a tiger's tail, and the speed of the retreat of the army was much faster than the attack, after all, under the dense firepower of the defenders, both the attack and the retreat had to pay a certain number of casualties, and under the ice slope in front of the defenders' positions, the troops dropped the wreckage of several chariots and corpses everywhere.

Naori Matsuki had a completely stunned expression in the face of the death of the hero of Hiramatsu, who was the commander of the major general brigade of the Imperial Army? It is not uncommon for the troops to be frustrated in their attacks, after all, the enemy is prepared for battle, and after all, attacking a fortified position is different from a field offensive, but there is no precedent for the death of a brigade or regimental commander?

The somewhat haggard Matsuki Naoliang sat in the tent silently and was very decadent, this damn unlucky Pingsong hero, it didn't matter if he died himself, he actually let himself be saddled with a huge black cauldron, and now the significance of attacking and occupying Chengde is no longer important to Matsuki Naoliang, even if he hits Beiping to occupy Beiping City, it can't make up for the negative impact of the death of the commander of the Pingsong Hero Brigade, it can be said that the Pingsong hero is simply murdering his career.

Eight grid tooth road! Matsuki Zhiliang viciously flipped the small marching table in front of him to the ground, and the guards outside the tent probed their heads and looked at it without daring to enter the tent rashly.

The 14th Division of the Yuejun Army was killed by the commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade and Regiment, Pingsong Hero, which brought the army's offensive to a halt suddenly, although Matsuki Naoliang was arrogant, but it did not mean that he was also ignorant in military affairs, and the Chinese defenders in Chengde took the three points on the periphery and half of Chengde City as the defense center, giving people the first impression that the defenders would give up half of the city if they were not strong enough.

However, this kind of defensive tactics of half the city seemed to Matsuki Naoliang at first to be simply suicidal, fighting street battles with the imperial army that had an absolute advantage in troops? Even if there are not enough troops, the overall defense of the city cannot be completely abandoned, and this tactic of holding half of the city is simply unheard of.

Naoliang Matsuki, who personally went to the command of the 27th Brigade, ordered the 28th Brigade to stop the attack on Seng Guanfeng and wait for further orders from the division headquarters.

The arrogant Enbe Kazuichiro was not yet aware of the major changes that had taken place in the 14th Division, and at this moment he was concerned about when the commander of the Chinese defenders would draw troops from the right flank to reinforce the left flank positions that had been intensively attacked.
