Soon, the scream of flowering bullets across the sky was once again over the battlefield.

This time, the raindrop-like flowering bombs exploded directly on the official road where the officers and men of the New Army were concentrated under the gaze of a pair of desperate eyes of the general soldiers.

As the thick smoke from the explosion of the flowering bomb quickly spread to the surroundings, more than 200 officers and men of the New Army were directly submerged in it, and their anger was unknown......

At this moment, anyone with a little military common sense can see that the real purpose of the guerrillas is not his artillery team, but the thousands of new troops under his command......

Thinking of this, the desperate expression on the face of the general soldier directly turned into anger and gloom full of grievances.

Then, in a low tone, he said, "Conspiracy, all of this is a conspiracy...... What attacked the docks, what partisans were poorly equipped and did not have artillery...... All of this is fake, and it is all an excuse to attract our new army to send it to the door......"

"The appetite of the guerrillas is so great that they want to wipe us all out here......

Speaking of this, the general soldier who had a fire in his heart but no place to send it scolded directly at his commander: "What are you waiting for here, waiting for death?" If the troops are not ordered to retreat, and if they do not retreat, the guerrillas will be able to blow us all up here with flowering shells...... Organize the brothers to retreat immediately, we must get out of here immediately......"

The faces of the several thousand presidents who received the order were also shrouded in a thick layer of solemn expressions for the first time.

After the order of the commander-in-chief was given, they realized the seriousness of the problem. Subconsciously, he wanted to return to his own troops. Organize the retreat of the soldiers under his command.

But. Before they could act, a cry full of terror reached everyone's ears from a dozen paces away......

"General, something happened...... Behind us, behind us appeared a large number of partisans. The guerrillas blocked our back road. ”

The shocked general soldier had not yet recovered from the news, and another exclamation was followed by the ears of the chief soldier.

"General...... On both wings, a large number of guerrillas appeared on our two wings......"

Surprisingly. In the face of these two desperate news, the general soldier's face not only did not show any anger, but also became calm. Then, in his own calm tone, he said. "Now it seems that the guerrillas really want to wipe us all out here......"

Compared with the calm of the general soldiers, the faces of his subordinates showed shock and despair from the heart.

Seeing the face of the chief soldier who quickly calmed down, the deputy chief soldier with a puzzled look on his face couldn't help but ask: "General, the guerrillas have surrounded us...... However, the last general will see that you are not in a hurry at all. Do you already have a good solution......"

Without asking everyone to wait too long, the chief soldier said, "It's not that I'm not in a hurry. But I have confidence...... Now the guerrillas have exposed all their operational objectives to us. What we need to do is to carry out targeted combat ......"

After saying this, the chief soldier spoke again after only a short contemplation: "On the surface, we are indeed surrounded by guerrillas...... More importantly, the guerrillas were far more equipped than we expected, and they were also armed with dozens of powerful artillery pieces. However, the partisans are not without weaknesses......" "In my opinion, the partisans not only have weaknesses, but this weakness is fatal for them......"

"Troops, General, I think the weakness of the partisans is the lack of troops...... With their limited forces, there is no way to trap us here. As long as we concentrate our forces, we will definitely be able to easily break through the encirclement of the guerrillas......" The deputy commander-in-chief's eyes lit up, as if he had found a bunch of gold ingots, and said with an excited face.

Not only that, but the despair and solemn expression on his face disappeared completely at this moment, and hope for the future was rekindled......

Yes, the lack of troops is indeed the biggest problem that the independent regiment has to face.

However, the two people, the chief soldier and the deputy chief soldier of the new army, although they saw the Achilles heel of the independent regiment. However, they ignored their Achilles' heel, which was that there were too many recruits......

More than eighty percent of the recruits can hold out until the breakthrough in the continuous shelling of the independent regiment, can they break through without fear of death, and can they withstand the cruelty of the battlefield...... All of these problems were fatal to the new army of the imperial court, which numbered thousands of people. One bad one can be devastating for them.

More importantly, will the independent regiment that surround them give them a chance to break through......

More than fifty mortars, when a steady stream of flowering shells were fired at the assembly areas of the Forces nouvelles.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who had already completed the encirclement of thousands of new imperial troops, did not trap them first and then attack the enemy in the encirclement at the same time as in a normal siege battle.

The encirclement has just been formed...... One by one, the musket formations in companies and platoons quickly advanced and further narrowed the encirclement.

Of course, the whole thing didn't go well.

The musketeers of a company of the Independent Regiment had just advanced a few dozen paces when a new army of more than 500 men stood in front of them......

Although the commander of the musket company received an order to advance two hundred paces in the shortest possible time. However, in the face of the obstruction of the new army of the imperial court, he did not blindly order his subordinates to attack directly, even if the muskets he was equipped with far exceeded the opponent in range.

In the eyes of the company commander, after the troops were redressed, he already had a better way to deal with the new army of the imperial court in front of him.

As soon as the 500 new imperial army entered the company commander's field of vision, the three mortars equipped in the company were erected.

Subsequently, a group of three flowering shells began to explode in the middle of the new army.

No matter what era it is, it is an iron law that recruits are afraid of artillery...... In the face of the deafening explosions that kept ringing in their ears, and in the face of the bodies of their former comrades-in-arms and brothers who were blown to pieces, the faces of hundreds of recruits had just turned pale as soon as five rounds of flowering shells were fired from the three mortars, and even worse, the hands of some recruits holding muskets had begun to tremble.

Just then, another round of flowering bombs exploded...... The corpse that was directly hit by the flowering shell was, undoubtedly, directly blown into parts. Then, under the action of the air waves, it flew around.

Unfortunately, an arm that was blown off smashed into a recruit ten paces away.

When he picked up the severed limb and saw it clearly in his eyes, his already pale face became even paler at this moment.

At the same time, a trace of fear from the heart quickly surged into my heart, and I overcame the fear of military discipline in my heart......

Then, the whole person is like a frightened rabbit. When he subconsciously threw away his hand and broke his arm, he shouted, "I'm not fighting...... I want to live...... I'm not going to fight this battle......"

As he spoke, the recruit fled to the rear in disarray, fearful of the battlefield and the flowering bullets. (To be continued......)
