At the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the artillery equipped by the new army was field artillery, that is, the cannon we often mentioned, but the caliber of field artillery was mostly 75 mm, which only belonged to light artillery in caliber, so it was called "field artillery".

72 small-caliber field artillery, in Europe where heavy artillery is everywhere and hundreds or thousands of heavy guns can be concentrated at every move, may be very inconspicuous, but at least at this time, China belongs to a very powerful heavy firepower group.

With the sound of cannons, under the attack of 72 field guns, the naval guns of the Shu army that were dismantled from the gunboats quickly came to naught, and several naval guns even flew into the sky because of the explosion of ammunition.

"Beautiful!" Looking at a naval cannon flying into the sky, Yan Guang said excitedly as he pounded the sandbag with his hand. However, at this moment, the artillery group that continued to fire suddenly stopped.

Although the artillery bombing was very enjoyable, Sichuan's artillery reserves were very small, and the Sichuan Arsenal, which had just been put into use, could only produce more than 5,000 75-mm shells a year, so after smashing out more than 500 shells, Zhu Qinglan had to call a halt.

"Can't you just smash a little more?" After smashing more than 500 cannons, he had to pause, Yan Guang felt very entangled.

"Dudu, I also want to smash more, but the reserve of shells is too small, if I continue to smash, I'm afraid the next battle will be insufficient..."Zhu Qinglan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said apologetically.

Thinking about the statistics he had counted before the opening, Yan Guang also had to admit that if he continued to smash, the reserve of artillery shells would probably run out by the time he arrived in Yucheng.

"Forget it, this is also a lesson, wait until the Shu army is settled, and then buy more shells and shell-making machines from the Germans, it's not a way to always be so constrained by ammunition..."

Just when Yan Guang was entangled in this, Sunil on the side reminded lightly. "Boss, you can let the infantry regiment rush up and seize the position..."

"Hmm." Yan Guang, who was reminded, nodded, and then said to Zhu Qinglan. "Brother Ziqiao, it's up to you next."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely snatch the position from the Shu army as soon as possible." In fact, Zhu Qinglan had wanted to give an order for a long time, but Yan Guang had been struggling with the problem of cannonballs there, and Zhu Qinglan didn't dare to give an order without authorization. Fortunately, Sunil's prompt solved the urgent need, otherwise Zhu Qinglan wouldn't know what to do.

"By the way, let the soldiers bring more grenades up." Just when Zhu Qinglan was about to give an order, Yan Guang added on the side.

"Don't worry, I'll let them bring more."

――――――――――

"Damn, you've been waiting impatiently." After receiving the order, Xu Hu, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, threw his big-brimmed hat to the ground, and then rolled up his sleeves and shouted at the three battalion commanders under his command and the more than 2,000 brothers of the entire regiment. "Brothers, the order of the division commander has come down, let our regiment occupy the position of the Shu army in one round, Lao Tzu now asks you, do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" More than 2,000 officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"Okay." Xu Hu nodded and pulled out his pistol. "The governor treats us well, and we can't be sorry for the governor's salary of 10 yuan per month, and of course we can't be sorry for the salary of 30 yuan. Although the name of the Baolu Army of the gang of dogs in front of us has been changed now, we all know what kind of goods those dogs are talking about, and the three battalion commanders will take the lead in the charge, Lao Tzu wants you to take those positions within a round, who dares to be greedy for life and afraid of death. "Raised the pistol." Lao Tzu should waste a few more bullets today. ”

"Understood!" The officers and soldiers replied loudly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Hu looked at the three battalion commanders below. "The first battalion commander, the second battalion commander, the third battalion commander!"

The three battalion commanders, who knew the surname of their regiment commander, hurriedly replied loudly. "Humble duty!"

"Give each brother three grenades, and when you rush up, you can just use the grenades to greet the dogs!"

"Yes!"

Soon more than 100 soldiers from the baggage battalion came up carrying wooden boxes containing grenades, and after ten minutes, more than 100 boxes of grenades were divided up by the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment.

"Okay." Seeing that the soldiers were almost ready, Xu Hu nodded again. "I know that the brothers are very envious of the military uniforms they wear, and to be honest, Lao Tzu is also envious, compared to the military uniforms they wear, Lao Tzu is not even as good as the shit.

But the brothers don't have to be envious, the governor has already spoken, defeated Yucheng, destroyed those dogs, and every brother in the army will be issued a new military uniform! ”

"Oh!!"

This time Xu Hu really boosted his morale, before he saw Yan Guang's military uniform, looking at the patrol battalion monkey version of the military uniform, these soldiers of the new army still have a sense of superiority, but after seeing the military uniform worn by Yan Guang, I felt awkward no matter how I looked at the light blue military uniform I was wearing.

Therefore, after learning that there were new military uniforms after the battle, their morale improved a lot.

As for the need to fight a war with a desperate effort? Dealing with the Baolu Army was just over a month ago. What kind of goods are the guys on the other side, they know too well, one round to break down the opponent and occupy the position? Weighing the grenade on their waists, they really have a lot of confidence.

"Rush!"

At the sound of an order, more than 2,000 soldiers rushed forward in a dense formation.

"It's too dense..."Looking at the soldiers rushing up in a dense formation, Yan Guang frowned in the command post. With such a dense formation, wouldn't there be a lot of casualties if the opponent had a few Maxims? ”

Think about the Battle of the Somme 5 years later, 240 Maxims on a 42-kilometer front cost the Anglo-French army 60,000 men in one day, and that battle was simply chilling...

"Fortunately, the Shu army on the opposite side does not have machine guns, the number of Martini and Lin Dengming is very small, and there are not a few fast guns, but when facing the Beiyang Army in the future, I will definitely encounter heavy machine guns, it seems that I have to discuss with Sunil first to see if I can study the infiltration tactics first."

Just when Yan Guang was thinking about whether to change the line surname tactic to an infiltration tactic, under the suppression of the fire of more than a hundred machine guns (the vast majority of them were Madsen), the Shu soldiers on the opposite position had no effective resistance at all except for sporadic counterattacks.

However, the soldiers of the Shu army hiding in the trenches were not too worried, because they had also encountered such an encounter when they fought with the Sichuan New Army in the past. The earthen musket in his hand is useless, and he can only wait for the opponent to get close and shoot at close range, or simply close hand-to-hand combat, and it is precisely by relying on this desperate tactic that they can support it for so long without being wiped out.

But...

"Strange, what is this?" Looking at the overwhelming black shadows, a Shu soldier took out a grenade that was still smoking and said in a daze.

And then...

"Boom !!"
