The next morning, the siblings finished their breakfast and prepared to leave.
Xiao Shengnan, who had a brother complex, prepared a new military uniform for Xiao Shenglin. He also put on an armed belt and a holster for him.
A handsome young military officer appeared. His face under his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was a little immature, but it was full of vitality and confidence.
"Handsome Nan, the brothers are ready.”Liang Zhen was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Shenglin. Looking at his attire, could it be that Second Young Master Xiao was going to the battlefield? Did the sun rise from the west?
He actually didn't stay in the marshal's residence to enjoy life. Although the conditions here weren't as good as Xi'an City, it was still very good.
"Alright, let's go." Xiao Shengnan said.
After that, the group went outside. There were already many soldiers waiting outside. They were all Xiao Shengnan's personal guards. Even the Ma Family's military clan, which had started out as cavalry, had to retreat.
Xiao Shengnan was dressed in a general uniform, which was more eye-catching than his younger brother.
Riding on her beloved horse, she said to Xiao Shenglin," War is not like at home. Don't be willful. Even if you break the military law, I will still punish you."”
Xiao Shenglin got on the horse and saluted his sister." Alright, Commander Xiao. I will listen to your orders."”
"Since you want to join the army, after the new year, go to a military school overseas and come back as a battalion commander.”Xiao Shengnan was a little happy, but he was also a little worried. But joining the army was better than being lazy every day.
"Giddyup!"
The cavalrymen began to set off. Xiao Shengnan took the lead and rushed out, followed by the others.
The sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the street. Countless commoners quickly left the center of the street to avoid blocking the army's march.
The Northern Five-Colored Flag in the hands of the flag bearers buzzed in the wind.
At the front line of Mount Mang, the monks of the Mountain-guarding Temple were ferrying the dead soldiers and civilians.
This scene was similar to the movie of the new Shaolin Temple, but the scene was different. It was much bigger.
According to the rules of the warlords, even if Fan Qinghua was defeated and chose to surrender, Xiao Shengnan wouldn't kill him. If he wanted to use him, he would let him lead the army. If he didn't want him, he would let him announce his retirement and get lost.
Both the temple and the Taoist temple had their own land. Because it was a place of cultivation, they were not attacked. Both sides also tacitly did not fight near the temple or Taoist temple.
Zhenshan Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty and had a history of more than a thousand years. There were monk soldiers guarding the temple, and most of the monks practiced martial arts. It was a thousand-year-old precious temple.
The entrance of the temple was filled with a group of refugees. They were all nearby commoners who had come here to take refuge.
Five miles away from the temple was the battlefield of both sides. Gunfire and shouting shook the sky.
Today was the day Xiao Shengnan returned to the army. He had brought a large amount of military supplies, which greatly boosted the morale of the Northwest Army.
This was because the new year was approaching, and the soldiers on both sides did not have a high fighting spirit.
In a cave somewhere in Mount Mang, Xiao Shenglin released the cannons and cannonballs given to him by the system, shocking a group of Northwest Army officers.
"Damn it, so many cannons. How much money would it take to buy all of them? Our first volume has never been so lavish since its establishment.”Ma Jicai's eyes turned red.
War was fought for money. The reason why the army was so powerful was because of those cannons.
"Krupp has 30 75mm mountain cannons and 50,000 rounds. Even if they smash it, they can flatten the main army's position.”Xiao Shengnan looked at his younger brother in disbelief. How did he know that there was a cannon here?
Xiao Shengnan also had some cannons. They were all old Russian weapons from before the First World War. She used them like treasures.
Xiao Shenglin's nose was stuck up high, and his face was full of praise.
"Alright, don't be so cocky. I know you're very powerful.”Xiao Shengnan rolled his eyes at Xiao Shenglin. Then, he looked at his subordinates 'expressions and knew that this little guy had left a deep impression on his valiant subordinates.
In the next few days, Xiao Shengnan began to arrange combat missions and set up a new artillery regiment.
The conditions in the military camp must be very poor, but fortunately, Xiao Shenglin was not the young master from before.
On the vast battlefield, the mountains crisscrossed.
Today was the day of the Cannon Regiment's participation. On a high ground, Xiao Shenglin was watching the battle with thousands of cavalrymen.
This wasn't a movie, but a real battlefield.
Moreover, in such a ravine, cavalry would not be of any use. They were just decorations.
Soon, he heard the sharp sound of cannons. Before the soldiers could move, the cannons had already gone off.
Countless artillery shells landed on the main camp, and the unprepared soldiers suffered a huge loss. Countless limbs and blood flew in the air.
The First Army was indeed an elite army. They fought in a well-organized manner. It was obvious that Xiao Shengnan was very capable. He had trained a group of elite soldiers.
"Quick, you bunch of trash, they are about to rush up. Where are the machine guns, open fire.”The officers of the direct army punched and kicked their soldiers, forcing them to risk their lives to defend the trenches.
Maxim was the warlord's favorite, but he consumed too much bullets.
With binoculars, Xiao Shenglin could clearly see the firing point of the army. They were firing at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. These machine gunners were very experienced and shot down many soldiers of the Northwest Army.
A general's success was followed by the withering of ten thousand bones. This saying was indeed true. War was bloody to begin with.
Soon, these machine guns were covered by the artillery. This was the charm of the artillery.
"Sister's command is really good. Why is it similar to the tactics of the Japanese army?”Xiao Shenglin saw that Xiao Shengnan had only sent out a small force to attract the firepower of the main army, and then used the artillery to destroy the enemy's firepower.
"F * ck, the Northwest Army is rich. How much money does one cannon cost?”Fan Qinghua, the commander of the direct army, cursed. One shell was worth dozens of dollars. When did this Xiao Shengnan become so rich?
"Commander, we can't hold on any longer. The cannons are too strong.”
"Hurry up and retreat. If we continue, our old foundation will be completely wiped out.”
Fan Qinghua's subordinates all had ashen faces. Cannons were the gods of war, the nemesis of infantry.
"Sigh, hurry up and pack your things. Let's retreat to Zhengzhou.”Fan Qinghua was also very helpless now. He could only rely on Zhang Haizhan from Zhengzhou.
"Eh, they're running away." Suddenly, Xiao Shenglin saw the troops in the distance begin to gather and abandon the troops that were resisting in front.
"Quick, tell the command center that the army is running away.”
"Yes, Major."
Soon, a few cavalrymen began to descend the mountain to inform the command center that the direct troops were preparing to retreat.
