Looking from a distance, Zhao Dongzhi was running, waving the military knife in his hand from time to time and pointing forward, and he could vaguely hear him shouting: "Rush!" ”

In front of him, more soldiers of the Feng army jumped out of the trench under the orders of the officers, and then rushed forward with rifles that had been loaded with bayonets.

Although there is heavy machine gun fire in the rear, when the troops attack, the most effective way to suppress the enemy is naturally the light machine guns and 60mm mortars that accompany the infantry to charge.

Many light machine gun shooters often rush halfway, and then choose a suitable terrain to lie down, and then shoot for pressure suppression, with the infantry to charge, and close to the fire suppression is the biggest tactical role of light machine guns in contemporary times, and this suppression effect is great, after all, the accuracy after close to suppression is much better than that of heavy machine guns five or six hundred meters away, and at the same time more flexible, when the enemy is found to be able to carry out pressure suppression, although the light machine gun is not fast, the magazine load is not much, But in any case, it is a machine gun, and the firepower of a light machine gun is enough to suppress an infantry squad equipped with a traditional bolt-action rifle.

Charging with artillery shelling support, heavy machine gun suppression, and the use of light machine guns to suppress fire during the charge, and 60-mm mortar targeted removal can be said to be typical tactics when the Feng army launched an offensive.

Zhao Dongzhi continued to run forward, he could already see the enemy's trenches getting closer and closer to him, he could even see the panicked pace of the Lu army on the opposite side, and there seemed to be a panicked shout from the explosion.

As Zhao Dongzhi got closer and closer to the Lu army position on the opposite side, a Lu army infantry company defending on the opposite side finally collapsed, at first just a few people turned around and ran back, but escaping this kind of thing is like an anthill collapse, as long as there is the first person, and it is not stopped in time, then it will quickly cause the collapse of more people, and then it will be a platoon, a company or even an entire battalion and the entire division collapse.

It is not easy for the Lu army on the opposite side to support the attack of Zhao Dongzhi's entire battalion until now, but in the face of Zhao Dongzhi's all-out general attack, it is foreseeable that the Lu army on the opposite side, which does not have too much heavy weapons to support, will collapse.

When Zhao Dongzhi rushed to the position of the Lu army, except for more than 20 corpses or seriously wounded people left behind by the Lu army, everyone else had already fled backwards, Zhao Dongzhi did not send people to pursue, but asked people to use machine guns to carry out a certain strafing fire, that is, to order the troops to correct the defensive front they had just occupied, and transfer the heavy machine guns in the rear to the front line.

If according to the rhythm of the Russo-Japanese War, the Battle of Jinan will often be fought over and over again around a certain tactical point, just like the 203 Heights, the Japanese army captured it again and again, but it was recaptured by the Russian army again and again, and the place changed hands more than ten times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The Russo-Japanese War has not been far away, and today's domestic warlord forces, including the Feng army, are basically influenced by the strict influence of the Russo-Japanese War, and almost all of them are learning the tactical concepts of the Japanese and Russian armies during the Russo-Japanese War.

The most affected before was naturally the direct army under the command of Wang Yingkai, who not only used Japanese weapons, but also appointed students from the Beiyang Department to study in Japan on a large scale, and hired many Japanese instructors. The Lu army under Zhang Huaizhi was also deeply affected by the Russo-Japanese War, although the impact was not as great as that of the direct army, but all aspects of tactics and equipment application were affected by the Russo-Japanese War, or the influence of the Japanese army.

And Fengjun's words have a greater impact, but this influence does not mean that Fengjun learned the experience of the Russo-Japanese War, in fact, the trench warfare played by Japan and Russia during the Russo-Japanese War was already left over from Zhao Dongyun's play a few years ago.

The influence of the Russo-Japanese War, rather than the imitation of the Russo-Japanese armies, did not mean to imitate the Japanese and Russian armies, but to study the many tactics used in the Russo-Japanese War and come up with solutions, the most obvious of which was the large-scale armament of light machine guns and 60-millimeter mortars, which appeared purely to deal with trenches and heavy machine guns.

And today's Jinan Campaign, the Lu army used almost the standard defensive tactics during the Russo-Japanese War, after Zhao Dongzhi just conquered this section of the position, the Lu army on the opposite side had already organized reserve forces to launch a counteroffensive, and the interval between them did not exceed half an hour.

The second battalion under the command of Zhao Dongzhi, who had just taken the position, did not have time to rest, and when the position was hastily repaired and machine guns and mortars were brought up, the Lu army on the opposite side had already launched a counterattack.

The Lu army on the opposite side launched a counteroffensive, and the Feng army naturally tried to intercept the counterattack of the Lu army with light and heavy machine guns, and under the dense rain of bullets, the Lu army that launched a counteroffensive on the opposite side can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and the more than 1,000 people who launched the counteroffensive were forced to stop the counteroffensive after attacking for more than an hour and killing and wounding two or three hundred people.

Seeing that the momentum of the counteroffensive of the Lu army on the opposite side stopped, Zhao Dongzhi's heart that had been carrying it finally relaxed, as long as he could hold the first two hours, then the reinforcements behind him would be able to continue to come up, and then this position would be completely taken.

The breakthrough made on their side can quickly become the breakthrough point of the entire regiment, and then become the breakthrough point of the entire third division, although it cannot defeat the entire Lashan defenders on the opposite side in a battle, but it can also greatly compress their defensive space and create greater pressure on the defending Lu army.

If this is really the case, Zhao Dongzhi knows that he will have a strong mark in his military merit book, and when he is promoted to lieutenant colonel, no one will be able to say anything.

Cho Dong-sik knew that his actions in the army had attracted the attention of many people, and the reason was simple, because he was Cho Dong-yun's cousin.

A few years ago, after he returned from studying in Japan, he entered the third town to serve, and then was recommended by Zhao Dongyun to enter the crash course of Baoding Military Academy.

Although he is Zhao Dongyun's cousin, he still started from the grassroots level, first as a platoon commander, then as a company commander, and then after entering the advanced training class for a year, he was awarded the rank of major after graduating last year and served as the commander of the second battalion.

Now he has served as the commander of the second battalion for more than a year, and to be honest, this qualification is very old for the Fengjun army, which has expanded several times in size in recent years.

Originally, when the 13th Division was formed, Zhao Dongzhi was also a strong competitor for one of the regiment commanders, and even got the recommendation of Gu Lanyu and Chen Guangyuan, but he was brushed down at the Quanxu Office of the Headquarters.

What kind of department is the Quanxu Department, this is the military personnel department personally controlled by Zhao Dongyun, basically the opinions of the Quanxu Office represent Zhao Dongyun's opinions, and why Zhao Dongyun approved the appointment of other officers and brushed Zhao Dongzhi down is because Zhao Dongzhi's identity is somewhat special.

He is Zhao Dongyun's cousin, and Zhao Dongzhi is different from Zhao Dongpingping, although Zhao Dongping is also young, although he is also Zhao Dongyun's cousin, but this Zhao Dongping has been mixed with Zhao Dongyun in 1901, and he is one of the most senior veterans in the Feng Army, and although this person now has the rank of lieutenant general in the army, everyone knows that this person is a technical general like Hong Putao of the Quartermaster Department, they are in charge of ordnance and logistics, but they will not lead the team to fight.

In the eyes of Meng Enyuan, Chen Guangyuan and others, Zhao Dongping and Hong Putao, the generals in charge of ordnance, quartermaster and other departments, are civilian officials in the military, and they are not the same thing as these generals who lead the team to fight.

However, Zhao Dongzhi, he came out of the Baoding Military Academy and then to the advanced training class, after this background, he is also an officer who has worked step by step from the platoon commander, if Zhao Dongzhi is because of Zhao Dongyun's relationship, and he is promoted quickly when he does not have enough qualifications and military merits, then it will be very easy to cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

The reputation of nepotism is not good, but prestige and reputation are indispensable things for a big warlord today, so Zhao Dongyun would rather suppress Zhao Dongzhi than let others think that he is nepotism.

In today's Su department, there are actually not a few children of the Zhao family, none of them are in politics, and there are only two cousins in the army, Zhao Dongping and Zhao Dongzhi, this is mainly because there are not many children of the Zhao family, and many enterprises under the Fuyuan company are also responsible for people, and some of the children of the Zhao family who are waiting for death basically go to the Fuyuan company, and most of those people can mix a manager, director and the like in the subsidiary company of the Fuyuan company, and there is no need to come to politics and the army to eat and wait for death.

And those who are ambitious, unless you can suffer like Zhao Dongzhi, sharpen yourself at the grassroots level for a few years and then get up step by step, otherwise don't think about climbing to the sky one step at a time.

Looking at the contemporary domestic warlords, these situations are very similar, don't think that the contemporary warlords are all wine bags and rice bags, surrounded by a group of wimps, mixed food and waiting for death, in fact, most of the contemporary warlords are not simple roles, such as Wang Yingkai, who has gone into the wilderness, although he is obese but he is actually relatively thrifty, and after becoming the president, he has not seen any children of the Wang family rising in the direct line.

Another example is Duan Qirui, who was able to become one of the Beiyang bigwigs in the era of Yuan Shikai, and now he is even more comfortable in the Liangjiang provinces, and he relies on his personality charm to a large extent, if Duan Qirui plays cronyism, there will be so many people who will be loyal to him, and it is not for nothing that the more than 100,000 troops under Duan Qirui's command, regardless of his descendants or collateral lines, are desperate to work for him.

If you want to be a good warlord, you have a luxurious lifestyle, and if you marry dozens or hundreds of wives, those subordinates will not care about you, but if you are nepotistic, have no reward for your merits, and have no punishment, then countless talented people will immediately abandon you and turn to others.

Based on this reason, Zhao Dongyun has actually been pressing Zhao Dongzhi's promotion, otherwise Zhao Dongzhi would have been promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel as soon as he returned to China.

Zhao Dongzhi himself also understands this situation, but he has no choice, what he can do is to wait for the right time to establish meritorious service, as long as there is real military merit, then others cannot point fingers at his promotion.

In this Jinan Campaign, the 3rd Division was used as the forward force, and the 2nd Battalion led by Zhao Dongzhi was reinforced with many light and heavy machine guns and mortars, becoming the fist force of the whole division.

This is his Cho Dong-sik's chance!
