Chapter 289 directly attacked Cheng Jiajun

With the suppression of their own firepower, the soldiers of the Predator Army rushed into the gap, and several grenades were thrown over, and those resisting Cheng Jiajun immediately fell silent. The Predators quickly took control of the dwellings near the walls and advanced into the city.

Seeing that the Iron Blood Army was trying to advance into the city, the commander of the Cheng Family Army planned to use his side's familiarity with the streets to inflict heavy damage on the Iron Blood Army, but unfortunately he did not expect how strong the Iron Blood Army was.

Exercises close to actual combat are a common occurrence in the Predators, and many of these exercises are specialized in street fighting, in addition to which their street fighting weapons are also very advanced.

In addition to machine guns, mortars, pistols, bayonets, and grenades, which are the five commonly used weapons for street fighting, they are also equipped with the latest pre-production Type 900 submachine guns.

The submachine gun is a weapon for melee combat, but it is still a new weapon in this world. The Iron Blood Army only equipped the 900-type submachine gun to the chief and deputy squad leaders, and this 900-type submachine gun was a new weapon that was finalized and produced in 900.

The Type 900 submachine gun has two feeding methods, a 30-round magazine and a 73-round drum, and its effective range is 150 meters, using the same 9mm pistol cartridge as the Beretta pistol, which can be incredibly powerful.

Gao Guiping led one of his squad into an alley near the Drum Tower, and several soldiers of the Cheng family army relied on the familiarity of the terrain to shoot cold shots with rifles at the corner of the street, one soldier was hit to the ground, and several other soldiers instantly fell to the ground.

A paramedic quickly crawled over to check on the soldier's injuries, while Gao Guiping raised the submachine gun in his arms and pointed it at the street corner, and the two Cheng Jiajun soldiers were caught off guard and were beaten into a sieve.

Seeing that the opponent's fire was very fierce, several Cheng Jiajun soldiers fled in a hurry, and the machine gunners in the squad immediately set up light machine guns and fired a strafing shot, knocking down several enemy soldiers who had not run far to the ground.

After the medical staff put the wounded soldier back to a low wall, he took out a first-aid kit and bandaged his wounds, and at this moment, Cheng Jiajun on the drum tower suddenly began to shoot, and Gao Guiping couldn't raise his head under the pressure of dense bullets.

The machine gunner set up a light machine gun and fired at the drum tower, but due to the angle problem, there was little threat to the enemy on the drum tower. "Go find a mortar." As soon as Gao Guiping greeted, the communications corps immediately called by radio, and soon a fire team from the heavy firepower squad arrived with mortars.

The well-trained artilleryman squinted his eyes and gave a thumbs up to measure it, and then used the mortar to throw a dozen shells on the drum tower without stopping, and there was finally no sound. Gao Guiping was the first to rush into the drum tower, and he ran down the stairs with a submachine gun to the top of the tower.

kicked open the door of the top floor, Gao Guiping didn't say a word, and rushed to the outside, and a few wounded soldiers of the Cheng family army who still had a breath of air immediately took the account. "Signal the follow-up troops to bring the artillery over." Seeing that the view here was wide and he could overlook the whole city, Gao Guiping immediately asked the correspondent to inform the artillerymen.

Soon after receiving the report, the regimental artillery disassembled several 76-mm mountain guns into parts and moved them to the drum tower.

The Cheng family army, which had never seen such advanced weapons, still fought according to the old method, and was caught off guard by the powerful offensive of the iron-blooded army, and retreated one after another, and several other prefectures and cities were also broken one after another, and all key points of Jiuhua County were controlled by the iron-blooded army.

The Cheng family's troops, who were attacking Xiahou's family on the front line, had not yet reacted, and Jiuhua County had already changed hands. The iron-blooded army, which was stuck in the opponent's rear road, concentrated the strong strength of four divisions and attacked the attacking troops of the Cheng family from behind.

At this time, the Jiande Mansion was fighting quite fiercely, the rumbling artillery was endless, the main force of the Cheng family army was besieging the Xiahou family's stronghold in Jinhua County, Jiande Mansion City, the battle between the two sides had entered a white-hot state, Cheng Feng stood in the camp, gritting his teeth and looking at the two sides fighting desperately on the outskirts of the city.

The Cheng family's forces were superior, and the artillery was also superior, but in the face of the tenacious Xiahou defenders, they attacked for three days but did not defeat the other party. This time, the Xiahou family also made a bloody investment, and the three armies stationed in Jiande Mansion City are the strongest troops that the Xiahou family can handle at present, and they are all established with the garrison battalion that followed Xiahou Feng's defeat from the capital as the backbone.

There are veterans of the garrison battalion as the backbone, although the weapons of this army are not strong, the training is also slightly insufficient, but the will to fight is very strong, these days they have been braving the continuous bombardment of the Cheng family's superior artillery fire, resolutely resisting the other party's attack, every time the defense line is broken by the Cheng family army during the day, they will use the night attack to recapture it, so many cruel night raids, not only eliminated a large number of Cheng family soldiers, they themselves also suffered heavy losses, at this time the Xiahou family can fight less than half of the original soldiers.

Just when Cheng Feng was about to organize a new round of charge, there was a roaring machine noise in the distance, and when he heard this sound, Cheng Feng's face changed greatly, and he knew that the Iron Blood Army had arrived.

As early as two days ago, Cheng Feng got the news that the Iron Blood Army had captured the entire territory of Jiuhua County, but he thought that he could capture Jiande Mansion soon, and the Iron Blood Army was still far away from here, and he couldn't beat it for a while, but he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Xiahou Army and the advance speed of the Iron Blood Army.

After detecting that Cheng Feng's large army had begun to attack Jiande Mansion, Peng Dechao, the commander of the First Army of the Iron and Blood Army, immediately rushed here with four divisions. The iron-blooded army on the road passed through the state and ignored the Cheng family defenders, and the army relied on extremely fast trucks and motorcycles to quickly advance towards Jiande Mansion, and finally arrived here in the shortest possible time.

"All the artillery turned their muzzles and prepared to meet the enemy." At this time, Cheng Feng could no longer care about attacking the defense line of Xiahou's house, and what he was worried about now was whether his soldiers could defend against the attack of the Iron Army.

The artillery of the Cheng family immediately turned the muzzle, and most of the infantry, except for some of them to guard against the possible counterattack of the Xiahou family, also formed a formation facing the iron-blooded army, ready to resist their attack.

Peng Dechao looked at the deployment of the Cheng family army on the opposite side with a telescope, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Do these guys still want to fight an old-style war with us face to face, let's give them some appetizers first, and order the military artillery to prepare to open fire." ”

Peng Dechao gave an order, and the 20 203-mm heavy guns attached to the army's artillery brigade immediately began to prepare for firing. With the busyness of the artillerymen, the cannon quickly completed its preparation for firing.

"What are they doing? Why don't you go? Cheng Feng looked at the iron-blooded army in the distance with a telescope in confusion, and suddenly he heard a piercing scream, hearing this sound, Cheng Feng immediately remembered what the defeated soldiers told him, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly hide, it's artillery bombardment." ”

It's a pity that Cheng Feng's words were a little too late, and when a cannonball hit, Cheng Jiajun, who had just stood in formation, suffered heavy losses, and huge holes appeared in the dense infantry formation, and Cheng Feng's face turned green when he saw it.

Seeing the heavy losses of his own infantry, Cheng Feng immediately ordered the artillery to return fire, but the artillery of the Cheng family was relatively old, not only could not compare with the Chinese artillery, but they could not reach the artillery position of the Chinese leader at this time.

In Cheng Feng's judgment, the opponent's artillery is not many, and he can rely on the protection of the infantry, push the cannon over, and then use his own artillery to sneak attack the opponent's artillery, only in this way can they have a glimmer of life.

It's a pity that Cheng Feng didn't know what to do, the number of artillery of the Iron Blood Army could be said to be the first in the world, and when they advanced to five kilometers, the large and small artillery of the Iron Blood Army at all levels began to roar. Dense shells fell in the infantry formation of Cheng's army, dismantling groups of soldiers into pieces.

The Cheng family's artillery was knocked out by the heavy artillery of the Iron Blood Army before it could be powered, and the distressed Cheng Feng scolded his mother there vigorously.

In the face of the opponent's artillery superiority, Cheng Feng knew very well that he had no hope of winning. Completely disappointed, Cheng Feng immediately ordered the large army to retreat, and his immediate decision had an effect, after Cheng Feng commanded the retreat, in addition to some of the blocking forces were eliminated, 100,000 Cheng family troops escaped from the pursuit of the iron-blooded army and retreated to Longquan Mansion.

The timely arrival of the Iron Blood Army made Xiahou Feng, who commanded the defense of Jiande Mansion, extremely moved, he knew very well that if the Iron Blood Army came one day later, he might have died on the battlefield, so he was quite enthusiastic about the Iron Blood Army, but because the Xiahou family suffered heavy losses, the troops were exhausted, and the number was insufficient, he did not continue to pursue the Cheng family army with the Iron Blood Army.

The Iron Blood Army pursued all the way, and the Cheng family army also retreated all the way, and after being wiped out part of the army, Cheng Feng, who was caught off guard, was able to retreat into Longquan Mansion, the capital of Jinhua County, where he was ready to defend instead of attack, giving the Iron Blood Army heavy casualties.

Longquan Mansion is the capital of Jinhua County, the city wall here is the tallest and thickest, and there are also a large number of fortifications around the city, a small number of troops of the Xiahou family had been here to block the offensive of the Cheng family's army, and it lasted for two months, and the Cheng family army captured this place after paying heavy casualties, and later in order to speed up the attack, Cheng Feng did not have time to dismantle the fortifications here, which happened to come in handy this time.

As soon as he arrived at Longquan Mansion, Cheng Feng ordered the troops to dig trenches to strengthen the fortifications, arrange defensive firepower, and soon restored the defensive positions of Longquan Mansion.

At this time, the combat situation was very strange, Cheng Feng, who had three armies and more than 100,000 horses, actually cowered in the city, surrounded by less than 100,000 iron-blooded troops. At first glance, it seems that Cheng Feng is very stupid, and actually uses superior forces to defend the opponent's inferior forces, but in fact, Cheng Feng is very shrewd.

He knew very well that his soldiers were all recruits, and there was naturally no problem in dealing with a unit like the Xiahou family that was also a new soldier, and if he met the well-trained Iron Blood Army that had been in the army for a long time, it would be a different matter, not to mention that others did not remember the exploits of the Iron Blood Army in Ulan City, but he knew it very well, so he only wanted to kill enough enemies here to have any hope of victory.
