Three days.

The marines fought to the death on the two fronts of Lao Mu Temple and Niang Niang Temple, withstanding the fierce attack of many armies for three days.

Three days later, when the cannons of the Qin army were transported from the steamer to the shore and transported to the front line of the Qin army, Duolonga cleanly collected his troops and retreated!

For the first time, Liu Xian experienced the power of 'Duolong'. The other party relied on real skills. Mobilize troops, launch a counteroffensive, the battle is unfavorable, and quickly collect troops and return to the camp when the Qin army is about to send, which is all based on Duolonga's grasp of the battle situation!

"Take the military food city. Use this as a base to build a defensive position on the Western Front. After the completion, the general attack is Dagu! ”

In the face of the retreat of many armies, Liu Xian's decision was also very decisive and fast. The Military Grain City is an important place outside Tianjin, and it is a key point that must be taken. Otherwise, when the Qin army attacked Dagu in Henan, it would be a little bad for the many armies to come back.

The Qin army must have a strong position in the west!

Zhou Jun, Jiao Wenbin and other generals Ling Ran were ordered. Liu Xian's baton pointed out that this is their goal!

On the virtual map, Dolonga's withdrawal was very fast, and the main force directly crossed the military grain city and retreated to the central village ten miles away to the west. There are only two or three thousand defenders left in the garrison of the military grain city!

Although the Qing army barracks scouted by scouts are still full of people.

Liu Xian's army was ordered, and one heavy artillery was pulled to the western front.

There was not a single 54mm caliber gun. The lowest is the 75mm bore, then the 105mm and 120mm bore. The Qin army's artillery had the largest 150mm heavy artillery, but only twelve 150 heavy guns were all arranged in the hidden position of Tanggu, and their hunting target was the Qing army in Dagu, and it would be too trivial to attack the army grain city with Kaikai.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Changming woke up on time. At this time, the vanguard brigade in the Marine battalion was making final preparations for battle under the cover of night, and the sound of footsteps and deliberately muffled conversations could be heard from time to time in the communication trenches.

The diligent guards brought cool well water, and when Zhou Changming finished washing, Meng Xiang, the leader of the assault team, also came to him.

"Camp, my brigade is ready, and now the brothers are waiting for the meal!"

Dinner was served two hours before the attack, and rest after eating. At four o'clock, the artillery would open fire first, and then the assault brigade would attack the military food city.

Zhou Changming nodded, looked at Meng Xiang with his eyes and said, "What task you are undertaking, you know it in your own heart." How heavy the portion is, Lao Tzu won't give you any more chatter. I have only one word for you: be resolute in your mission. ”

"Please rest assured. Our brigade will definitely stick to the enemy, prevent the Qing army from getting out of contact, and keep driving them to herd sheep. Keep driving them to Tianjin City! ”

"Let's eat!" Zhou Changming put away all his worries and waved his hand with a reassuring appearance. Logistics is a specially cared for assault brigade today, and the food is a rare braised pork with winter melon and pork rib soup.

The staple food is steamed buns, oil cakes, and rice. Serve as much as you want, and you can take care of all the dishes and rice.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Roy put away his pocket watch and shouted in a low voice to the gunner next to him, "Hit!" ”

The 120mm heavy cannon 'boomed' loudly, the ground under his feet trembled, and the flat muzzle spewed out orange and colored sparks, smashing the shells into a pillbox on the periphery of the military food city. The massive cannon body jerked backwards, sliding down the landslide and back to its original position. A louder roar and a more dazzling firelight immediately appeared on the Qing army's position!

The sound of artillery is the order to attack!

"Up!" Meng Xiang gave an order, and he personally led several fighters with a heavy machine gun to move forward, and behind their flanks were the five fighters of the first demolition group. After that, there was a mortar group.

Gunfire rang out at the same time from the positions. In just an instant, the night sky was intertwined with countless bullets and fires, like an impenetrable net, falling from the sky. The silence before dawn was broken by the sudden explosion of battlefield sounds, and the night of the sky was whitened by the flash of cannonballs.

Meng Xiang nervously observed the machine-gun fire points on the Qing army's position, and after the shells exploded, there was no movement there.

The effect of the shelling was very good, and the five machine-gun fire points and four pillboxes that had been observed were all muted.

The advance of the assault brigade was fast.

In the light of the fire, Meng Xiang lifted the lid of the pocket watch and looked at it, and now, in his position, he could no longer see the combat operations of the first demolition group. Time, only time can tell him that the first blasting team is about to detonate the pill pack!

A dazzling white light suddenly flashed, illuminating a thing on the earth in an instant, and then quickly plunged into darkness, and a huge cloud of smoke rose from the flash, which quickly dimmed from bright color to dark red. Almost at the same time, an explosion comparable to the collapse of the sky and the earth was transmitted in all directions with a violent ground tremor. The upside-down sand fell on the cover of Meng Xiang's pocket watch, forcing him to blow off the sand and put the pocket watch in his arms.

"Tom tom!"

A dense stream of fire appeared, and mortar shells covered the positions of the Qing troops with a crimson glow. This was followed by two grenade explosions in succession. Meng Xiang saw from the flash of the explosion that several figures were jumping over the front line of the Qing army and attacking the depths of the Qing army's position.

一qiē are all smooth lì.

"Follow me!"

Lin Shan Gang led a squad of thirty soldiers, holding white bayonets, pulled into two skirmish lines, forming one triangle after another, and strode towards the Qing army's position.

Without the usual shouts of the infantry, the soldiers moved forward in silence and steadily.

The Qing army's forward positions, which had been attacked by shells, explosives, medicine packs and dozens of grenades, were in shambles, a heavy machine gun was torn to pieces, a large hole was missing from the chest wall made of sandbags, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere.

There was another loud bang, and in the white light shining, Meng Xiang saw Lin Shangang and the others who were leaping forward with guns, and also saw the happy expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the assault brigade who were expanding the breakthrough on his left and right.

Meng Xiang lightly broke through the first-line defense of the Qing army!

……

The Qing army's position in Junliangcheng was not a single line of defense. The Qing army formed a total of three lines of defense and two core positions. After breaking through the front line of the Qing army, the assault brigade continued to attack the Qing army's follow-up positions in great strides. As a result, they crashed into the two core positions of the Qing army, and all of them suffered defeat in the attack. The positional Qing army also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!

But the progress of the too smooth lì made Erhe, who had moved to the front line to supervise the battle, quite stunned, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong!

Erhe hesitated whether to withdraw his troops, but saw a burst of dark red light suddenly emitting from the sky, it was already too late! "Get down, get down!"

How could the hundreds of Qing troops who were charging at the victory be summoned back by him with a single shout?!

The roaring shells whizzed, and the sound of breaking the air came from far and near, and at the same time as Erhe shouted the alarm, countless explosion points exploded on the battlefield. The powerful shock wave tore the human body apart lightly and threw it far away, while the lucky ones were swept away by the waves of qi and could not gain a foothold. Smoke and fire dominate the battlefield.

The shells of 105 and 120 heavy guns are far more powerful than 75 artillery shells, and an explosion of a shell, bursting shock waves and flying shrapnel can cover a radius of more than ten meters.

The bombed earth threw Erkh all over, the whistling of shells continued, and Erhe could only watch as he lay behind a broken bunker -- the pursuing Qing soldiers were cut down and blown up like stacks of wheat straw!

The Qin army's artillery bombardment was accurate and fierce, and it was obvious that it was carried out according to the already calibrated shooting of Zhuyuan. It's called 'Resilient Defense, Preset Shelling!' ’

As one of the most commonly used means of the Qin army's infantry artillery coordinated training, the Qin army has been used more than once in the entire Chinese battlefield, and the Qing army has been in the pit. But he has been taught repeatedly, and he does not remember to eat. No one can help it!

"Boom!" A shell landed only five or six meters in front of Erkh and exploded, and he had already retreated into the trench when he heard the whistling of the shell in time. Even so, the shock wave of the explosion shook him to the ground, and the trench that he felt tremble in the next moment seemed to bury him. A torrent of mud and sand poured down on his head, burying most of his body in the floating soil.

"Kill......"

When Goshha dug Erkh out of the mound, Erkh's ears, which had come back to his senses, were still buzzing. When he had completely calmed down and his tinnitus was a little lighter, he found that the shells had submerged the other core position. Outside the position where he was, the shouts of the Qin army's charge had been cleared into his ears.

The sound of mortars sounded in his ears, and looking at the chaotic and panicked position, Erhe knew that this land could not be defended.

The storm of bullets once again weighed on the Qing defenders, unable to raise their heads. The grenades seemed to never be thrown, and dozens or hundreds of them fell on the heads of the Qing soldiers in waves.

Erkh was dragged away by Goshkha. That position is broken!

……

The sky was slightly bright, and watching the Qing army wolf flee to the west, Meng Xiang let out a sigh of relief, leaning on a section of cover and slowly sliding on the ground. This battle is over, won!

Since taking the first core position, the assault brigade has concentrated its forces to break through the chaotic third line of defense, which is the military food city itself.

Another Qing army position in the east of Yangtai Village, where hundreds of Qing soldiers were blocked.

The artillery ploughed there piece by piece, relying on hard power, the Qin army killed and wounded more than 500 people of many armies and the New Army of the Eight Banners, and more than 200 people were taken prisoner. These people, of course, are now doing coolies, such as building defensive lines. But in the future, waiting for their fate, the best outcome is to be kicked out of the construction corps, so there is still hope. If it is stuffed into the mine, it will not take a year or two to be a dead body.

The guard's head was opened, but the guard who was wrapped like Ah San was still as diligent as usual, and he was not 'lazy' at all because of his injury. A long pot of clean water was made with a military kettle and handed it to Meng Xiang.

"Camp, you drink water."

Meng Xiang took the kettle and poured it into his stomach. He roared all night, his lips chapped and his throat already smoking. But because he was in the middle of the battle before, his attention was shifted, and he didn't feel thirsty himself. But now......

Just in Yuanjiawa, northeast of the Marine Corps front, a Qin army unit consisting of two battalions silently packed up the equipment and stoves. They were originally used by Liu Xian to defend the cavalry in the center of the village.

The newly transferred from Beijing is not Chen Guorui's defeated army.

But even when the battle of the military food city was at its most intense, Dolonga did not let the cavalry attack again. R1152
