From time to time, the sound of artillery came from the position of the 99th Army, and one by one the shells were ruthlessly sent to the position of the Kwantung Army, although they played the role of the attacker this time, but the well-educated and highly qualified military army did not give up building a simple defensive position.

It's just that because their main task this time is to attack, so more time is still used to rest, and many soldiers of the Yue Army under the leadership of Jun Cao simply dug a trench for a short period of defense in the future. In their eyes, the Chinese army in the encirclement has basically been condemned to death, and no one can escape safely from the hands of the Kwantung Army.

Their carelessness made them have to face huge losses, although under the large-caliber artillery, the anti-artillery hole or something becomes dispensable, but it is better than nothing, although it is possible to be buried alive, but at least it can help the soldier to cover a lot of shrapnel damage.

Due to the empty sight of the Kwantung Army, the first round of artillery attacks caused their artillery units to lose a large part of their artillery, and in the later artillery fire, the role of the Kwantung Army's artillery was very small. Half an hour later, the 99th Army finally stopped its artillery attack, and the Kwantung Army was finally free to count its own casualties.

The final result made them speechless, the loss of infantry was relatively small, but the loss of artillery was not acceptable to them, a simple first round of artillery raids, the Kwantung Army lost thirty percent of its artillery, as well as a large number of shells, and more artillery soldiers of the Kwantung Army, these are the most precious resources of the empire, and the training of each artillery requires a huge amount of energy.

Although they lost only thirty percent of their artillery, they lost at least forty percent of their artillery soldiers. The aftermath of a cannonball explosion may not be enough to threaten a cannon made of steel, but it can be deadly to an artillery soldier.

In the forward position of the 766th Division of the 99th Army, rows of soldiers had already set up their positions and arrived here a few days earlier, as well as a premeditated attack plan, so that they had enough time to prepare those relatively complete fortifications. At least the current soldiers of the 99th Army, except for those who need to be exposed, most of the rest of the rest of them stay in the anti-artillery holes.

"Boy, are you afraid of death?" In one of the anti-artillery holes, a soldier with the rank of corporal glanced at the recruit in the anti-artillery hole opposite, and couldn't help but ask.

Now the corporal of the 99th Army is a little lacking in gold in the eyes of other troops, and they are basically quick, that is to say, after a few battles, the performance is acceptable, as long as they do not make any mistakes in principle, their ranks will basically be promoted. Feng Chengzhang obtained this rank of corporal by virtue of his performance in battle, and at the same time he was also appointed as a squad leader, if he was promoted normally, he would need to serve for at least two years before he could get the rank of corporal.

His outstanding performance in the battle made him, a recruit who had just served for less than a year, obtain the rank of corporal, firstly, because he did have this ability, and secondly, the 99th Army was really short of people, especially the squad and platoon commanders at the grassroots level.

"Squad leader, I'm not afraid, my father said, if you're afraid, don't come to be a soldier, since you're a soldier, don't be afraid of anything, besides, when the military seat left, I left two grenades for my father, if I was caught by the devils, my father said that I could also take away the two devils." This recruit was none other than Zhang Hu of Liu Zhuang, although his answer was a little wrong with the horse's mouth, Feng Chengzhang still saw a trace of firm belief in his eyes.

"Hehe, there is a kind of kid, but I still have to tell you again, you can be afraid at any time, but you must not be afraid after you go to the battlefield, because the more you are afraid, the closer the god of death is to you, and only when you are desperate for death, desperate for everything, the god of death will be far away from you." Feng Chengzhang nodded and spoke.

Zhang Hu was the only recruit in his class, and of the nearly 60,000 recruits recruited in Henan, only a small number were assigned to front-line combat units, and most of the rest were either assigned to logistics baggage units or reserve units, and very few were able to go to the battlefield at the first opportunity.

Although Zhang Hu is a leader among those recruits, he is a full newcomer in the soldiers of their front-line troops, and he is not ranked here at all in terms of combat skills or something, many inconspicuous veterans can clean him up in one or two moves, for no other reason, those veterans were also cleaned up by veterans in this way at the beginning, and they participated in more wars, and the recruits naturally became veterans.

Feng Chengzhang didn't want Zhang Hu, the leader of the new army, to die in his squad, as a squad leader, he had many responsibilities, obeying the command of his superiors, directing the operations of the squad, and how to protect every soldier, these were all within his consideration.

"Squad leader, do you think I can dodge bullets if I really do what I usually practice?" Zhang Hu asked with some curiosity, about to board the first battle he participated in, Zhang Hu had a lot of things that he couldn't figure out except for being nervous, and he also wanted to figure out those doubts in his heart as soon as possible.

"Theoretically, this is true, but don't get your hopes up, the tactics we practice are only very useful in small-scale operations, and the usefulness of those tactics is very limited in large-scale operations like this. On the battlefield, bullets are flying everywhere, shells are blowing up indiscriminately, and it is very unwise to use too much physical strength to dodge a bullet, even if you dodge this bullet, maybe another bullet will fly from somewhere else. Feng Chengzhang was really happy this time, because he found the shadow of when he first joined the army in Zhang Hu's body, and he also asked the old squad leader this way, but it was a pity that the old squad leader was unfortunately martyred in a battle.

After sorting out his thoughts, Feng Chengzhang quickly began to say again: "In a battle like this between large corps, what we need to use is the cooperation between the troops, of course, there should be evasive actions, you can't just watch a devil shoot at you, and you are still stupidly standing there as a target for him." ”

"I understand the squad leader, anyway, if you go to the battlefield, don't care about life or death, the more you care about your life, the more likely you are to die, the bullet is really coming at you, you can't dodge, am I right about the squad leader?" Zhang Hu touched his head and seemed to finally understand this truth, while Feng Chengzhang and Zhang Hu looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Hu smiled because he felt that he had understood everything, but Feng Chengzhang smiled because although Zhang Hu seemed to understand, it was only theoretical, and when he really understood, it was still on the battlefield, and only when he experienced that kind of life and death would he really understand.

ps: I strongly pushed it, and I continue to recommend and collect the support, and I would like support to all the pot friends. I also recommend a friend's book, a bit of that or something, but it's definitely suitable for watching.
