Zhang Xunbu, who was responsible for receiving the cavalry on the periphery, finally couldn't bear it, and when it finally retreated, the cavalry inside had more than 400 people, and the troops who responded were also suffering heavy casualties.

Such a tragic battle made the vanguard troops led by Zhang Shuyuan behind them suddenly gasp, and it was only a long time before the other party not only swallowed the entire cavalry force of more than 400 people, but also beat the receiving troops to pieces.

Causing such a large casualty is not the most unbearable for Zhang Xunbu, in fact, what shocked Zhang Shuyuan the most at this time was that Han Zheng's army had entered the Xuzhou territory, which made Zhang Shuyuan instinctively feel that it seemed that the entire battle had been out of the control of the pigtail army and became confusing, and Zhang Shuyuan also began to have a bad feeling in his heart.

Looking at the front again, with the strength of two battalions, he successively sent cavalry troops, but so much blood flowed on those seemingly harmless firewood and straw stacks, and in the end, not a single person escaped from the battalion that was surrounded, and not even a single person escaped, all of which seemed to strongly indicate something

Zhang Shuyuan looked at the almost massacre war in front of him with a telescope, and closed his eyes in pain, how could he explain to the marshal in such a bad account.

After Zhang Xun's soldiers were defeated and retreated, the northern Anhui army in front of them who were ambushed in the haystacks did not chase after them, but appeared in front of everyone in a big way, pulled up those wounded war horses, and led them to the back, and the guns that were thrown down were also confiscated by the other party as trophies.

All of this was done under Zhang Shuyuan's nose, and it seemed that he was fanning Zhang Shuyuan's face in Chiguoguo!

The other party's almost insulting action finally angered all the pigtailed soldiers, and several generals came to Zhang Shuyuan to take the initiative to ask for battle, and the soldiers were even more red-eyed, staring at the enemy in front of them.

If the gaze can kill, it is estimated that those lurking Han Zheng troops have been wiped out!

Zhang Shuyuan's face was pale, and he gritted his molars, but he didn't pay attention to these people who asked for battle in front of him, because he knew that it would be useless for these people to go up now, he had to wait now, wait until the artillery and heavy machine guns in the rear of his troops moved up, and then concentrate on bombing the opponent's position and carry out bloody retaliation!

"Go, send someone to deliver the news to the marshal, just say that my forward troops encountered the enemy army in Yonggu Town, and the Northern Anhui Army has entered the Huaibei territory to fight, and at the same time, Yonggu Town has fallen into the hands of the Northern Anhui Army, so that the Marshal is ready for a big battle, and at the same time, please rest assured that our troops will definitely defeat the enemy army in Yonggu Town first and win this important town for the army!"

Zhang Shuyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then he viciously ordered to go down, and ordered someone to pass the news back here, so that the marshal could prepare in advance, but Zhang Shuyuan knew that when Zhang Xun knew about the things here, it was estimated that he would have to be angry, but this kind of thing, Zhang Shuyuan didn't dare to hide it at all, and he couldn't hide it, what he had to do now was to forcibly take back Yonggu Town from the other party!

In fact, the safest way was to Zhang Shuyuan to defend himself here to prevent the Northern Anhui Army from sneaking up in the city, and then send the army to search the surroundings to clear the surrounding enemy concealment and possible ambushes, and then wait for the marshal to come.

In this way, you can gather a large army and recapture Yonggu Town in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

But Zhang Shuyuan has another worry, that is, if he waits, the enemy's backup troops will inevitably not be too small, and if he can't take Yonggu Town after the arrival of the marshal, he won't want to end up well.

Moreover, if the Northern Anhui Army uses Yonggu Town, it will be a stalemate with Zhang Xun's army in Xuzhou at that time, if it is a stalemate in the Huaibei region, he has no opinion, but he was defeated on his own territory, what kind of face do they have to go to see the marshal, and at that time, the reputation of the Braided Army I was all ruined!

In this way, no matter what angle you think about it, this Yonggu Town must be taken back, and it must be taken down as soon as possible!

Since the war between Xuzhou and Northern Anhui, Zhang Shuyuan never thought that Han Zheng, who has always been regarded as a rising star, would dare to take the initiative to attack the land of Xuzhou, that is, to occupy the moral initiative, but compared with Zhang Xun's strength, no one can think that Han Zheng can defeat the powerful Zhang Xun.

The best ending is just to make both sides lose, but it may not be able to make Zhang Xunbu hurt his muscles and bones, but at this time, a series of actions of Han Zhengwan's Northern Army have clearly told Zhang Shuyuan that in this world, as long as the fist is hard enough, anything is possible!

"Divisional commander, what should we do now?!" Zhang Shuyuan arranged the herald down, and when he was thinking about these thoughts, a regiment commander next to him suddenly asked.

"Did the artillery come up? And what about the heavy machine-gun battalion? Zhang Shuyuan did not answer this person's words, but opened his mouth to ask the people around him.

As soon as he finished asking this sentence, he saw a soldier running from behind, and then reported to Zhang Shuyuan, but it was the heavy machine gun battalion and artillery unit that moved up.

Then, everyone saw that a mountain gun and field artillery were pushed up by the soldiers, and then began to mark the coordinates non-stop, advancing to a position that had just been favored, and the heavy machine gun battalion was also two people carrying a heavy machine gun to the front firing position.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuyuan sighed with satisfaction, although the loss just now was really serious, it seemed that it did not have much impact on the quality of the troops under his command.

As long as you make a big effort, and then concentrate your firepower to destroy the enemy in front of you, and beat the opponent back to the north of the bridge, even if the sacrifice is greater, it is worth it.

The Northern Anhui Army has now entered the territory of Xuzhou, and the war in front of it is no longer a simple measure of how many soldiers have died, but a complete defeat of the other party, so that the other party does not dare to enter Xuzhou One step is the end, otherwise the marginalized position of the Braided Army in the Beiyang Cup in the future may be completely lost!

"You guys go back and gather your troops and bring out all your ruthlessness! This time, we will destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, I will personally ask the commander to give a few credits! At this time, seeing that the heavy weapons were in place, Zhang Shuyuan glanced back at the several regiment commanders around him, and then waved his hand to let everyone go down.

"Yes! Rest assured! Although looking at the more than 30 cannons and a multi-battalion heavy machine gun unit in front of them being transferred, several regiment commanders suddenly had blood boiling and excitement in their hearts, with these things, their confidence in taking Yonggu Town has increased a lot, they don't believe that under such ferocious firepower, the other party can withstand it!

Soon, the pigtail army, which had never been bullied by others like this, was like a tiger that had been touched on the buttocks, and at the same time of fear, it had turned into more anger, and one by one with blood-red eyes gathered on the front line of the attack position.

Since these people followed Zhang Dashuai to the south, they have never suffered such a big loss, suffered such a big blow, and it was these people who they had looked down on before who had caused damage to their own army again and again!

Even when fighting with those unfathomable red guys in the south, they did not suffer such a big defeat and humiliation!

Zhang Shuyuan watched the battalion commander of his artillery battalion ask for instructions, and ordered his soldiers to put boxes and boxes of shells on the side of the artillery, ready to attack with powerful firepower at any time.

And when the commander arrives, it is when he sets foot on this place, although the enemy's combat effectiveness is beyond his own surprise, but what is the use? Under such powerful artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire, any living creature is crushed into powder!

In this regard, Zhang Shuyuan was originally a little bored, but he got better for no reason.

The sky gradually darkened, and the remnant sun in the west still exuded the last trace of afterglow secretly looking at the upcoming battle below, perhaps because he couldn't continue to look at it and regretted, the last touch of the sunset was unwilling to go on like this, but under the pull of time, he finally unwillingly took away the last light.

Zhang Shuyuan had already ordered the soldiers who had not gone to the front line to retreat some distance and set up camp to leave a buffer space in front, and he also withdrew the division headquarters into the camp at the back, and then led a group of strategists under his command to occupy a relatively high place and quietly watch the front position.

After all the front-line soldiers were ready, Zhang Shuyuan finally gave the order for the shelling!

As the order was issued, the artillery fire in front of it suddenly roared, and the violent fluctuations produced by the bursts of shells shook the ground continuously, making people's hearts sound with the sound of drums.

I have to admit that the background of the pigtail army is indeed not comparable to Han Zhengjun, especially in terms of heavy weapons, there is no big difference in the firepower of rifles, but heavy firepower is extremely important in this kind of offensive and defensive battle!

Although the two battalions of Han Zhengjun relied on the terrain and the efforts of the engineer battalion, and there was nothing peculiar to see outside the position, there were many temporarily dug trenches and bunkers under those licorice stacks and in the rear!

But even so, it was prepared in advance, but when more than 30 cannons roared, watching the shells with red flames smash on the position with a scream, and then burst into bursts of roar, the defenders were still numb by such a strong artillery fire, and at the same time, the tongues of fire from the heavy machine guns also kept swishing over everyone's heads.

The soldiers of the Northern Anhui Army can only stick their whole bodies in the trenches under them at this time!

On Zhang Shuyuan's side, one shell after another was taken out of the box, then put into the muzzle, and after ignition, it continued to smash towards the local position, scattering bullets, grenades, and solid bullets

As long as it is a shell, it will be sent directly into the sky, and then fall on the small position in the place.

At this time, the position of Han Zheng's army was already shrouded in artillery fire, and the hay was blown up by the strong wind set off by the artillery fire, and then scattered everywhere, and the shnrapnel that exploded took away a life from time to time, and the soldiers who were directly hit were even more set off by the artillery fire, and the bodies that had been blown up before they landed were split, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the place.

There were even some unfortunate heavy machine gun positions that were hit, and then parts were scattered everywhere, Zhang Shuyuan looked at the miserable situation on the local position with a telescope, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, in the face of absolute strength, even if there was a moment of pride, but in the end it was not defeated, defeated? !

Han Zheng stood at the back of the position in Yonggu Town, grabbing the city wall with both hands, he didn't expect that the other party's rapid march of more than 3,000 people would be able to bring so many heavy weapons! Is this the strength of the older generation of warlords?! (To be continued.) )
