The artillery battle on this side of Baotou is not like the previous Beiyang Army, a base number is over, the new Miss France, not only adhering to the ultra-high rate of fire of Miss France, the base number of shells is more than 3 times that of Krupp, and more importantly, all the shots have been calculated, every direction has been determined, and it is a carpet bombing, for the gunner, according to the established direction, a * hit the past, easy and simple.

The sudden attack, coupled with the intensive artillery fire, made the fifth town almost blinded, they did not expect that the artillery fire in Baotou would be so sharp, as if the shells did not need money, although the fifth town was not completely concentrated in a small area, but the distance between each target was relatively concentrated, under the carpet bombardment, they only had two legs less than their parents, they couldn't run away, there were casualties everywhere, and there were dead people everywhere.

150 rounds per cannon, almost more than 2 bases, ten minutes later, under the order of Cai Yi, another base was added, and the position of the fifth town was ploughed again, and then someone came to investigate, just such an artillery battle, in the position of the fifth town, the whole soil was completely weakened, I don't know how much shrapnel was buried in the soil, after a long time, this time became a paradise for collecting scrap, the shrapnel of the shells, all made of copper, even if it is not pure copper, it is also worth a lot, Baotou doesn't know how to make shells, there are almost no shells that didn't explode, even in this dense area of artillery battles, it's safer to pick up things, and you won't encounter the explosion of shells that don't explode.

The sound of the cannon gradually stopped, and it could not be fired, and 150 rounds had already made the barrel extremely hot, even if the shells in Baotou had undergone special treatment. At a certain temperature, it will not be lightly detonated, but if it continues to fight, there will always be problems, according to the operating procedures. This is already the limit, and in the end, the commander's orders stopped one by one, and when Baotou became quiet on the other side, there was not much sound on the other side.

Is it over? Cai Ye in the command room. Tighten your glasses, artillery is the king of the army, but it seems that I have never heard of solving problems only with artillery.

When the smoke cleared and the battlefield returned to calm. On the battlefield where the fifth town is located, it is really a mess, Zhang Yongcheng is lucky, with the help of the guards, he actually survived the dense artillery fire, but life is more uncomfortable than death.

Zhang Yongcheng was already crying without tears, and the 25 cannons were almost blown apart. All the gunners died, in addition to the artillery, there were infantry and Makqin. Subjected to a major attack, they suffered heavy losses, at least, a town, more than half of them were disabled, and most of the living were injured.

"Retreat. Fall back! Zhang Yongcheng ordered loudly, and the unmotivated soldiers who were being hit by artillery at this time. It's almost a tidal wave of receding, such a nightmare. They don't want to go through it again, or, for the best.

"Please tell the headquarters, most of the fifth town has been annihilated, and the rest have fled in a hurry, whether to pursue it!"

Cai Ye looked at the Fifth Town, which had begun to retreat, and said with a cold face, the big victory has been decided, and now, it is to see how many results there are in the end, and whether the opponent can be completely annihilated, which can show the strength of the first division.

The general is not subject to foreign military orders, this is a lot of military books have things, but it is no longer suitable for this era, that era, the center can not control the situation on the front line, some orders are chaotic orders, but now, wired telephone, wireless telegraphy, and even some intelligence agencies, can easily report the situation on the battlefield, the staff officers and sand table of the headquarters, can clearly show the situation of the enemy and us, in the name of the general, refuse to accept the military order, then there is only one result, it is taken out.

Finally, I have the command of a division, how can I give up, the telegram for instructions, and it will not be long, the military department and Baotou are very concerned about this battle, this is the first battle after the establishment of the new army, and it is fought with the famous Beiyang, what the result is, it is enough to judge the strength of the new army, even if you are confident, you will not know how to go through the actual battle, soldiers, always have to fight on the battlefield, only to be able to see the result.

The radio waves passed through the space of dozens of kilometers and were transmitted to the military headquarters, Feng Yuxiang read the telegram translated by the correspondent, slapped the table, and shouted: "Songpo is really powerful, it actually annihilates most of the enemy, what else is there to consider, pursue, we must destroy the fifth town in Zhangjiakou."

"Boss, wait a minute!" Wang Jinming suddenly interjected.

Feng Yuxiang looked at Wang Jinming with a little dissatisfaction, and said a little angrily: "Why, such a good opportunity, do you want to give it up?" ”

"It's not me who built it, ask the headquarters!" Wang Jinming said calmly, to be honest, this battle is just a small test, the first division is the entire Baotou army, relatively strong, but the confrontation against the fifth town, without much loss, annihilated most of the enemy, which shows that the two are not the strength of the same level, that is to say, the five divisions of Baotou can at least defeat or even annihilate the five towns of Beiyang, if you count the current expansion of personnel, this number will increase, what does this mean, Baotou already has the capital to confront Beiyang, China's strongest army.

The status is different, the position is different, and the ideas are different, if before, Wang Jinming's idea was still based on blocking the sixth and fifth towns and keeping the enemy out of the country, then next, under the situation of worry-free life and death, we must consider the follow-up things, whether we really want to annihilate the Beiyang Army.

When Wang Jinming said this, Feng Yuxiang was also stunned, he is not a person without vision, otherwise it would be impossible to sit firmly in the position of commander-in-chief, and even in the history of later generations, his status is quite not low, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then wait first, there is an iron truck over there anyway, and it will be too late to chase after a few minutes." ”

After speaking, Feng Yuxiang drafted a telegram explaining in detail the situation on the battlefield and their opinions, and sent Bao Bao over.

In Baotou, the war room of the former Yellow River Patrol Battalion, the senior officers and members of the staff who were still in Baotou temporarily formed a group, and more than a dozen radio stations were set up to wait for the report from the front.

Soon, the correspondent recorded the message and was about to hand it to Yang Yuanzhao, but Yang Yuanzhao said calmly: "Read it!" ”

The correspondent honestly read the telegram, and the war room was in an uproar, the Beiyang Army, China's strongest army, was wiped out without fighting, with a salvo of 75 guns, didn't the Beiyang Army build anti-artillery holes?

Anti-artillery hole, as a kind of civil engineering, is very popular in later generations, Baotou New Army from the day of construction, has always paid attention to this, with the help of cement and some sleepers, can build equivalent to a meter of rock layer of anti-artillery hole, in the army, is enough, can effectively prevent the opponent's artillery fire cover, to prevent unnecessary casualties.

In the eyes of the Beiyang Army, the new army is a rabble, not to mention 75 guns, even if it is a rifle, it may not be able to have a hand, at this time, what time is wasted, but it is this kind of inertial thinking that makes them suffer a big loss, and under the cover of more than 3 base artillery attacks, they are reduced by more than half at once.

The battle report in front, if it is just to surprise everyone, behind, Feng Yuxiang's worries, Yang Yuanzhao's eyes lit up, all the people present are soldiers, although there are senior officers, but there is only Yan Xishan who wants to get the same thing, Sun Yue is a little worse, and Beiyang confrontation, for what, isn't it just to prevent Beiyang from entering the sphere of influence of Baotou and affecting the development of Baotou, now, under the defeat or even the elimination of most of the power of a town, Liwei has been established, and it is not even small, On this basis, completely destroying the Fifth Town is not the best choice.

Time is limited, and Yang Yuanzhao didn't think of a good solution, but according to his feelings, he ordered loudly: "Stick to the defensive line, don't pursue!" ”

Hearing Yang Yuanzhao's order, Yan Xishan's eyes lit up, but the others were puzzled, but no one dared to ask, and in the room, only the sound of the ticking radio was left.

Feng Yuxiang received the telegram as soon as possible, and after seeing that Yang Yuanzhao agreed, he was overjoyed, and sent the order to Cai Yi by the way, and by the way, attached the opinions of their military headquarters and Yang Yuanzhao.

Cai Yi, who had been anxiously waiting, finally waited for the order, and at the critical moment of the pursuit, every minute and every second was particularly critical, although there was an iron truck, but when the other party assembled and restored the formation, the casualties should be not small.

You know, the previous rounds of attack and defense, Baotou is simply unscathed, Baotou, perfect defense, increased the survivability of the defenders, all are semi-submersible bunkers, plus the entire building is a reinforced concrete structure, all the personnel are hiding inside, whether it is artillery fire, or guns, it is very difficult to hurt people, but the pursuit is different, leaving the fixed defense, with the help of iron trucks to pursue, although the other party has no morale, but it is always a regular army, or the strongest army in China, In case there are more casualties, the gains outweigh the losses.

When the correspondent sent the telegram to Cai Yi, Cai Yi was stunned, stopped the pursuit, and held his position, his face showed a trace of disappointment, but he soon returned to normal, as an excellent officer, he quickly saw from the middle, Baotou is not focused on the present, but has focused on the post-war, the purpose of repelling the Beiyang Army is just to prevent the Qing government from interfering, there is no need to fight Beiyang, with Yuan Shikai, to form a mortal enemy, it is okay to beat the pain, let them know that Baotou is powerful, The rest should be measured.
