"Up, give it to me, our regiment must be the first to take the front position!" Inside the improvised command post of the first line of defense, Xu Hu shouted at the soldiers who rushed out. After shouting, Xu Hu also glared viciously at a middle-aged officer beside him.

The officer didn't show weakness when he noticed it, and glared back. And the adjutant next to the two people also looked unkind when they looked at each other.

The middle-aged officer who stared back was called Sun Desheng, the colonel and commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division, originally from the Sichuan Green Battalion, and later the Green Battalion and the flag soldiers and other troops were organized into patrol battalions, and Sun Desheng also ran to the patrol battalion to serve as the pipe band of a battalion. Later, because he followed Zhao Erfeng to conquer the rebels in Tibetan Province, he made a lot of contributions, and was promoted to the commander of the main staff.

When Zhao Erfeng was transferred to Liangjiang, Yan Guang succeeded in the uprising, and after seeing that the other patrol battalions had surrendered one after another, Sun Desheng also surrendered, so he, the commander of the regular staff, became the colonel.

"What? Is there anything you would like to advise? After noticing Sun Desheng's gaze, Xu Hu said coldly.

Glancing at Xu Hu, Sun Desheng had a strange voice. "It's nothing, it's just that Head Xu always shouts like this, Sun is afraid that one day Head Xu's voice will become the same as that of a eunuch."

Not to mention the old feud between the patrol battalion and the new army, as early as when Zhao Erfeng was still there, Sun Desheng and Xu Hu were mortal enemies, so they didn't need to be polite at all.

"You!" Although he graduated from the Martial Arts Academy, Xu Hu's surname is straightforward, so when he heard Sun Desheng say this, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach Sun Desheng a lesson. Fortunately, at this time, several officers stopped them, otherwise the soldiers who rushed up had not yet touched the edge, and the two regiment commanders would have come to a free fight first.

Stopped by several officers, Xu Hu calmed down a little. "Humph! Guy who only talks about it! ”

However, Sun Desheng just opened his mouth slightly, which made Xu Hu's anger value explode again. "Well-developed limbs..."

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Just when Xu Hu wanted to rush up and strangle Sun Desheng, but was stopped by twice as many officers as before, under the cover of machine guns, the soldiers who rushed to the front were less than 30 meters away from the fortifications of the Shu army.

"Throw!" After visually measuring the distance, one of the platoon commanders who took the lead waved behind him.

With a "hula", more than 10 grenades were thrown over, and in the end, except for 5 or 6 that missed, all the rest were thrown into the trenches.

A few seconds later, soldiers in other positions also began throwing grenades.

In defensive warfare, relying on fortifications such as trenches, the soldiers in charge of defense can make the enemy pay twice as much as their own. But there is a premise, that is, you should not be suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and you will not even dare to show your head.

Weapons like Makqin and Madsen are not mentioned for the time being, and weapons like grenades are not mentioned for the time being, even if the soldiers of the Shu army can have a sufficient number of Martini and Lin Dengming in their hands, I am afraid that the soldiers of the two regiments of the Sichuan army will not rush so smoothly. After all, the range of a rifle is much greater than that of a grenade, and the machine gun responsible for fire suppression cannot take care of all directions.

It's a pity that the soldiers of the Shu army only have earthen muskets in their hands, and even old guns like Martini and Lin Dengming are very rare, as for fast guns and Mauser guns? Such guns were all in the hands of officers.

There were not enough weapons, and for the soldiers of the Shu army, the trenches could only be used to hide...

――――――――――

Seeing that more than 3,000 soldiers from the two regiments had already rushed into the trench fortifications and started hand-to-hand combat with the Shu soldiers inside, Yan Guang nodded to Zhu Qinglan.

Zhu Qinglan, who received the order, called the herald over, and soon the cavalry regiment belonging to the 3rd Division drew an arc and galloped towards the rear of the Shu army.

Due to the large arc drawn by the cavalry regiment, the Shu army, which was still paying attention to the second line of defense, did not find the actions of the cavalry regiment, or...

Someone found out, but he didn't live to tell the news.

After another 10 minutes, after making sure that the cavalry regiment had covered at least a third of the way, Sunil retrieved the pocket watch he had used to keep time, and nodded at Yan Guang. "Boss, you can let the infantry regiment follow!"

"Let's go!"

After discovering that Yan Guang was moving here, an officer of the Shu army hurriedly said to Wang Tianjie, who was paying attention to the battle on the defensive line. "My lord, there is movement in the Sichuan army!"

"Oh?" Wang Tianjie, who was holding the binoculars, hurriedly turned his direction and focused his attention on Yan Guang! "Look at it, how many targets did the Sichuan army send this time?"

"4..." Wang Tianjie's adjutant even had a trace of trilling when he replied.

The strength of the 2 regiments of the Sichuan army can already make their 6 regiments unable to parry, if these 4 regiments are added, it will directly crush the Shu army, and Wang Tianjie's adjutant is not surprised.

However, at this time, the 4 infantry regiments, which were still somewhat concentrated, suddenly split into two routes and advanced towards the left and right flanks of the Shu army...

Although he didn't go to any military school, he was entangled with the new army when he was in the Baolu Army, and he knew a little about military affairs, so Wang Tianjie quickly understood Yan Guang's true intentions. "20,000 people want to eat me 30,000? It's so rampant..."

It's just that no matter whether Yan Guang is rampant or not, the threat on the other side is real, considering that the combat effectiveness of his own troops is seriously insufficient...

"What do you think we should do now?" Wang Tianjie looked at several officers from the patrol battalion.

"Withdraw!" One of the officers said without hesitation.

"Withdraw?"

"That's right, we must retreat immediately, if we are surrounded, according to the Baolu Army, no, it is the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, I am afraid that there will really be a danger of being eaten..." Also, the lowly adviser is to send someone to the governor at once to ask for reinforcements. ”

The former proposed that Wang Tianjie hesitate, but the latter agreed without hesitation.

The officer couldn't say anything about this, after all, the 5 positions were only held for less than a day and had to be withdrawn, and this kind of thing could not be accepted by anyone, especially when Wang Tianjie's army was 10,000 more than Yan Guang.

However, the officers were not very worried, because as long as they could hold out for a while, until Zhang Peijue arrived with reinforcements, then the danger of being eaten would naturally be solved.

At this time, the four infantry regiments sent out by Yan Guang opened an iron net on the two wings of the Shu army according to the original plan.

"See you in the picture..."Looking at the Sichuan army who was slowly pulling open the iron net, Wang Tianjie muttered.
