PS: The first update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommended votes! Thank you for the snail walking the turtle and the sdfkweoe for the tip!

"Rush! The brigade commander said that he would break through the defense line of the Jilin Army and reward a hundred oceans. One head of the Jilin Army, for ten oceans, double the number of officers! More than 2,000 soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Feng Army, chanting slogans, rushed to the position of the 1st Regiment of the Jilin Army Instructor in Yangtugang.

In the Feng army, using the ocean to stimulate the fighting spirit of soldiers is undoubtedly a very effective method. Many of the soldiers of the Feng Army were originally born with beards, and as soon as they were stimulated by so many oceans, they immediately turned red eyes and rushed towards the position of the Jilin Army with a roar.

Zhang Fuchen couldn't help frowning, the 2nd Independent Brigade was charging in such a swarm, obviously looking for death. Modern warfare is no longer what it was back then. This would obviously be the best target for a dense fire strike by the enemy.

However, Zhang Xiaokun didn't seem to notice this at all, and looking at the brave charge of the soldiers under his command, a smile appeared on his face: "Haha, Lao Tzu's troops are really strong." When Wu Xingquan is defeated, the commander is happy, and maybe he will let me be the division commander. ”

Yang Tugang, the headquarters of the 1st Regiment of Jilin Army Instructors, and the regiment commander, Colonel Zhao Lin, was using a telescope to observe the charge of the Feng army. He is also an old man who teaches the instructor, and when Wu Haoxuan just established the teaching battalion, he was the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon. When the instructor was formed, he became the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. This time there was a big expansion of the army, and he took advantage of the situation to become the colonel commander of the 1st Regiment of the Instructor.

"Well, it's just a rabble. Tell the 1st Battalion to fight again when it gets closer. The artillery company waited for the order not to open fire casually, lest the shells be wasted. Colonel Zhao Lin said disdainfully.

The instructor was originally the most elite unit of the Jilin Army, and in Zhao Lin's eyes, the way the Feng army charged was completely looking for death, and he simply didn't take the heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the Jilin Army in his eyes.

Guarding outside the town of Yangtugang was the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Instructor, with more than 1,100 people in the battalion, armed with six 120-mm heavy mortars, eight 80-mm medium mortars, and 12 60-mm light mortars. In addition, the battalion had 12 heavy machine guns and 36 light machine guns. With such firepower, not a single division of the Feng army has it, let alone an independent brigade.

"Rush!" The soldiers of the Feng army shouted slogans and quickly rushed towards Yang Tugang. And the officers and soldiers who taught the instructor, in accordance with the order, did not open fire. After getting the enemy closer, it will undoubtedly be able to inflict unimaginable heavy damage on the opponent with dense firepower.

"What elite troops? Aren't you stupid by my troops? It seems that Wu Xingquan's troops are nothing more than that! Seeing that his troops were less than 500 meters away from the position of the Jilin Army, Zhang Xiaokun's face was full of smiles.

It was at this time that the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Instructor opened fire. Heavy and light machine guns deployed in the front-line positions, as well as rifles in the hands of the infantrymen, opened fire at the same time. The dense bullets were fired at the Feng army like a storm.

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”

The light and heavy machine guns cooperated, forming a dense fire blockade network, directly enveloping all the charging Feng troops inside.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! ”

The sound of bullets entering the human body sounded, and blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the soldiers. One by one, the soldiers of the Feng army fell to the ground screaming, as if they were cutting wheat. The dense charging formation of the Feng army became the best target for the heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the Jilin Army.

"Oh my God! How many heavy machine guns does the Jilin Army have! Zhang Xiaokun's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Before, he was still daydreaming that the troops would defeat the Jilin Army, but now he immediately rolled from heaven to hell.

"Shhh Zhang Fuchen and the other Fengjun officers who were watching the battle in the rear also gasped. With such dense firepower, they don't say they've seen it, I'm afraid they haven't even heard of it!

"Even in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese and Russians did not have so many machine guns. Attacking under such dense firepower, this is simply looking for death! A young officer who had returned from studying in Japan said with a pale face.

Many of the Fengjun officers were a little glad that they were not leading the attack. Otherwise, they would have been slaughtered by the Jilin Army with superior firepower.

"Is this the terrifying firepower of the Jilin Army? Since they have such a strong firepower, why haven't they broken through Shengjing City yet? No, there must be a conspiracy here, they want to attract the main force of the Feng army to come back. Zhang Fuchen seemed to suddenly open up and thought everything through.

On the battlefield, the regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade of the attacking Feng Army was almost devastated. At least hundreds of people were knocked down by the first wave of bullets. The rest of the people either lay on the ground and couldn't raise their heads when they were suppressed, or they turned around and ran, leaving their backs to the bullets of the Jilin Army, and they were chased and beaten by the Jilin Army. Because they rushed too far ahead, many people could not escape the range of the Jilin Army's heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and they were killed one after another.

The battle was soon over, and the corpses were already left in front of the positions of the Jilin Army. The regiment of the attacking Feng army lost more than half of its strength and was directly disabled. Even those who escaped by luck were frightened, and it was almost impossible for them to go to the battlefield again in a short period of time.

"Alas!" Zhang Xiaokun sighed heavily, he lost half a regiment in one attack, and his brigade was only enough to attack three or four times? What the hell is this?

"Brother Fu Chen, it was the younger brother Meng Lang before. But what do we do now? "Zhang Xiaokun has no choice, it is worth asking Zhang Fuchen for help. After all, Zhang Fuchen is the commander this time. No matter what Zhang Fuchen decides, he is determined not to let his troops die again. For these officers, the troops under their command are the most important. Only with troops can we have today's power! If the troops are lost, then they will lose the basis of power.

Zhang Fuchen glanced at Zhang Xiaokun and didn't say anything. The other party's thoughts, how could he not know.

"Guys, what do you think? Is it possible for us to break through the Jilin Army at Yangtugang? Zhang Fuchen asked.

If before Zhang Xiaokun's 2nd Independent Brigade attacked, everyone still swore that they would be able to defeat the Jilin Army, then now, everyone is speechless. The powerful firepower displayed by the Jilin Army really shocked them greatly.

"Telegram from the brigade commander, chief of staff." It was at this time that a junior officer came over with a telegram.

Zhang Fuchen took it and saw that this was a telegram from Yang Tingyu. Yang Tingyu claimed in the telegram that he had led the main force of Feng's army to the north, and asked Zhang Fuchen to take Yang Tugang as soon as possible. In addition, Yang Tingyu also forwarded a telegram urging Zhang Yuting. Shengjing City has now reached the point of 100,000 urgency, and if the main force of the Feng army cannot rush back in time, Shengjing City will definitely be breached.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Fuchen couldn't help but sigh. He became more and more convinced that this was simply a conspiracy of the Jilin Army. However, now that the situation in Shengjing City is critical, he, as Zhang Yuting's henchman, can't help but bring troops to the rescue. Otherwise, how would he face Zhang Yuting.

"Brother Xiaokun, there is no way, I can only fight this life to repay the handsome. Artillery was ordered to open fire on the positions of the Jilin Army. 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade, ready to start the offensive. "Zhang Fuchen has no choice, it is worth giving the order to prepare for the attack.

The 1st Independent Brigade of the Feng Army was slightly better equipped, with six 57-mm guns and four Japanese-made Meiji 31-year 75-mm field guns. Zhang Xiaokun also sent the artillery of the 2nd Brigade over, and finally gathered 16 cannons.

"Fire!" With Zhang Fuchen's order, the 12 57-mm camp guns and four Meiji 31-year 75mm field guns of the Feng army began to roar.

The shells fell on the positions of the Jilin Army, and bursts of fire erupted. However, whether it is a 57-mm camp gun or a Meiji 31-year 75-mm field gun, the power is not strong, and it will not have any impact on the fortifications of the Jilin Army. Not to mention a threat to the soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery holes.

"Did the cannon pull out too? It looks like he's going to fight hard. Command the artillery battery, destroy the enemy's artillery. Colonel Zhao Lin ordered.

The nine 75-mm field guns of the artillery company deployed in Yangtugang Town immediately began to adjust their muzzles. A few minutes later, the nine cannons began to roar.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Nine M1904 field guns launched an artillery attack on the artillery positions of the Feng army at a rate of fire of 27 shells per minute, and one shell after another whistled towards the artillery positions of the Feng army. The shells exploded around the artillery positions, blowing up clusters of crimson fire.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Soon, some shells fell on the artillery positions of the Feng army, and the artillery of the Feng army that blew up turned on their backs, and the rest of the people also ran around with their heads in their hands. In less than ten minutes, the artillery positions of the Feng army were destroyed. More than a dozen cannons, more than half of which were lost. The artillery suffered even more heavy losses, and the shelling had to be stopped.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fuchen's heart was broken. This also made the suspicion in his heart thicken a lot.

Without artillery support, the Feng army could only fill with the lives of its soldiers. In order to break through the direction of the Jilin Army in one fell swoop, Zhang Fuchen invested in an infantry regiment, and Zhang Xiaokun also invested in a battalion. Nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Feng Army attacked the positions of the Jilin Army in a sparse formation. The tragic scene of the 2nd Independent Brigade before is right in front of you!

But even so, they were greeted by heavy crossfire from the Jilin Army's heavy mortars and light and heavy machine guns.
