"Oh, I know. But Captain, what does this have to do with my question?”The recruit responded to indicate that he understood. Then, he asked again. He didn't know why the company commander was talking about this.
"How can it be okay? Did you hear the movement above you? Do you know what this is?" The veteran said mysteriously.
"I know, I know. I heard from our platoon leader that this is a cannon!" The recruit said with an expression that said," I know, you can't lie to me."
"That's right, these are cannons, and they are large-caliber heavy artillery. These are all from the Sichuan army. Didn't you ask why this battle was so easy to fight? Look around, is there any decent place?" the veteran continued.
The recruit looked around and saw potholes everywhere. From time to time, he could see broken limbs and some disgusting internal organs. Although he had vomited several times before, he still felt a little disgusted. Even so, he seemed to understand why this battle was so easy to fight!
Looking at the disgusting and thoughtful look on the recruit's face, the veteran couldn't help but nod. This recruit was not bad. He could think and ask questions. If he could continue to develop, he might have great achievements in the future!
"That's right, it's just as you think. In the past, we used human lives to build up our positions, unlike now, where the Sichuan Army directly opened up a path with heavy artillery, and our infantry had to follow behind and pick up the ready-made ones."You guys are really lucky!" In the end, the veteran could not help but sigh.
The recruit didn't say anything after hearing this. He looked thoughtful. On the battlefield, there were many people who had the same thoughts as him!
Putting aside the conversation between the veterans and the recruits, they turned their attention to the battlefield. At this time, the artillery bombardment had been going on for half an hour. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of shells, this small position was almost flattened. However, the artillery bombardment did not stop. They wanted to completely destroy all the defensive facilities on this position and ensure the safety of the infantry to the greatest extent!
"Pass down the order. The artillery fire is starting to spread. Everyone, attack!" Two hours later, through Liu Feng's binoculars, there were basically no more defensive facilities on the other side. Those who could run had already run away. Look at the warlords who were attacking the inner line of the camp! Liu Feng knew that there was no need to waste any more time! Therefore, he directly ordered the 20th and 21st divisions and the armored regiment to attack!
In the previous battle, due to the geographical constraints, the armored regiment did not come in handy. During the second round of bombardment, the armored regiment had all entered the outer position of Tingsi Bridge. It was time for them to perform!
Baldy also gave the order to attack!
With the extension of the artillery fire of the Sichuan army, Wu Peifu's troops, who were trying to maintain the inner line position, could no longer hold on. They no longer tried to resist and directly fled with the defeated soldiers in front. They had not been baptized by the heavy artillery, but they clearly saw the tragic situation in front of them! It was precisely because of this feeling of witnessing it with their own eyes that they were even more afraid that the cannonball would fall on their heads. It was too terrifying! They simply could not imagine such a scene!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, it was useless. The artillery fire only lasted for less than ten minutes, because the armored regiment had already rushed to the position, followed by the 20th and 21st divisions of the Sichuan army. Facing the impact of the armored regiment, the already weak resistance of the inner line was completely destroyed in a very short period of time. Then the 20th and 21st divisions of the Sichuan army rushed into the position.
"Surrender your weapons and we won't kill you! If you don't want to die, hold your head and squat down!" The roars of the Sichuan soldiers quickly spread throughout the entire camp! The warlords and soldiers who had long lost their will to resist all squatted down, holding their heads and throwing their guns aside.
As for the armored regiment, after the 20th and 21st divisions stabilized the situation, they had already left their positions to chase after the fleeing warlords!
In the rear, Liu Feng, who was planning his next move next to the sand table, heard the news from the front line. When he heard that the armored regiment had abandoned the main force and ran to chase after the fleeing soldiers, Liu Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry!
However, after thinking about it, he decided not to care. He only ordered them not to run too far. As for what they were worried about, he had seen it before. These scattered soldiers had almost thrown away all the weapons in their hands. Facing the pursuit of the armored regiment, they wished they could grow two more legs. Under such circumstances, Liu Feng was not worried about the armored regiment at all. Could those scattered soldiers with only a few rifles break the defense of the armored vehicles?
Don't be ridiculous, this isn't an anti-Japanese drama! However, the terrain here was dangerous and the river network was dense. Although it was not a big problem for armored vehicles, they still had to pay attention to it. It would not be good if they " capsized in the gutter ".
At this moment, the baldy was still watching through binoculars from the high ground outside. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was not calm at all. Although he had thought that it would not be difficult to take down Tingsi Bridge under the bombardment of heavy artillery, he never thought it would be so easy. This was not a battle, but a one-sided beating!
If they followed the previous plan of the Revolutionary Army and wanted to take down this position that Wu Peifu had been managing for a long time, they would definitely have to pay a lot of casualties. After all, not only did Wu Peifu set up a large number of fortifications in this place, but he also arranged nearly 60,000 soldiers here!
In other words, Wu Peifu had left almost one-third of his troops in this place!
Under such circumstances, according to the previous situation of the revolutionary army, even if they took down the enemy, they would probably suffer a great loss. Facing the next 100,000-plus troops, they would probably have to experience a tragic bloody battle!
However, the current situation was that their side had defeated the Tingsi Bridge garrison with almost negligible losses! This was something that he thought was impossible! And now, this scene was really presented in front of him! He had no choice but to believe it.
This scene made him feel that his previous decision was correct!
"Reporting to Major, we received a call from Commander Qian at the front line. Commander Qian said that they have completed the task of cleaning up the Tingsi Bridge position and have captured more than 10,000 of Wu Peifu's troops. Right now, Commander Xuan is chasing after Wu Peifu's defeated troops with the three generals of the Revolutionary Army, Li Zongren, Cheng Qian, and Du Luming.”A signalman came to Liu Feng and reported.
"Mm, I understand. Send an order to Commander Qian to capture the scattered soldiers that can be gathered now. Don't worry about the rest.”Liu Feng nodded and replied.
"Yes, Major!" The soldier saluted and left.
"Oh? Jianye, why didn't you pursue the victory? Why did you stop?”The bald man had walked to the command center at some point in time. When he heard Liu Feng's arrangement, he could not help but ask in confusion.
I'm really sorry, everyone!
