In fact, it was normal for the direct artillery to have such feedback. After all, although the Northern Warlords also had many mountain cannons, these mountain cannons could be said to be outdated by the Western countries before World War I. How could these things compare to the artillery of the Sichuan army?
The Sichuan army knew about this situation, so they dared to set up mountain cannons in front of the camp outside Xianning City without fear of being able to directly destroy the direct artillery unit. Otherwise, if the artillery of the direct troops could hit him, but he couldn't hit them, why would the Sichuan army do this? Or was there water in his brain?
"Damn it, where did these Revolutionaries get so many cannons? How hateful!" Song Dapei's face was extremely ugly when he heard this. The feeling of seeing others attack and even provoke him unscrupulously, but he could do nothing about it, was as disgusting as eating a pile of shit. What was even more hateful was that after you finished eating it, you found a pile of it in front of you!
For a moment, Song Dapei, Liu Yuchun, and the others were furious. The staff officers in the command room were also thinking about countermeasures. Unfortunately, even though Song Dapei had pulled out all his hair, he still could not think of a countermeasure.
Should they send the artillery out of the county town and send them to the shooting range to fight with the revolutionary army? Was that even possible? The reason why the artillery was placed in the city was because they were afraid of the heavy artillery of the Revolutionary Army. Once there was no barrier of the people in the county, the artillery would definitely be the food of the Revolutionary Army!
Letting the main force rush out of their positions and engage in a close combat with the revolutionary army? Putting aside the numerical disadvantage on their side, even if they did not have such a disadvantage, letting the soldiers charge out of the position under the artillery fire? It was still unknown how many people would be left when they reached the other side.
He had thought of almost all the ideas, but they were all useless. If he wanted to deal with the artillery, he could only use the spies he had arranged earlier. Unfortunately, the original plan of these spies required them to complete more important tasks!
Not to mention the officers who were thinking hard in the command room, an hour later, the outer position of Xianning City had almost turned into ruins. At this time, the heavy artillery of the Sichuan army had already extended their artillery fire to Xianning City.
As for the remaining mountain cannons and field cannons, they had already stopped firing. They wouldn't be able to enter the battlefield for the time being unless the major general removed the artillery positions in the city. Only then would they be able to enter the battlefield.
As the artillery fire extended, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army and the Sichuan Army also began to attack. With yesterday's experience, the Revolutionary Army soldiers were not as fearful as they were in previous battles.
According to the formation of the scattered soldiers that the commander of the Sichuan army had obtained, everyone marched in an orderly manner towards the outer position of Xianning City. Soon, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army had already rushed to the front of the position. Other than encountering a few sporadic resistance, the process was as smooth as yesterday!
After entering the outer perimeter of Xianning City, the resistance had clearly increased a lot. It was probably because of the anti-cannon holes. Although these anti-cannon holes were fragile, they were more or less useful.
However, that was all. Even though the existence of the cannon holes increased the chances of survival of the soldiers in the outer perimeter, most of the soldiers who survived had lost their will to fight. In serious cases, they even had mental problems. As for combat power…
As the infantrymen advanced, Liu Feng, who was in the rear command post, began to make the next step. According to his intelligence, there was almost an artillery regiment stationed in Xianning City. There were dozens of mountain cannons. He had to get rid of this artillery regiment. Otherwise, if these cannons kept firing, the casualties on his side would definitely increase greatly. This was not what he wanted.
And now, the " scattered soldiers " that Liu Feng had arranged to enter the city during the chaos and the intelligence personnel that had been arranged to enter the city before the war should also be effective. Their target was the Artillery Regiment and even the Xianning City's direct command center!
After taking down the outer position, the Revolutionaries did not attack rashly. Instead, they began to look for cover under Baldy's orders and waited for the next order. The bald man knew Liu Feng's arrangement and knew that the artillery unit in the city was indeed a problem. Therefore, he did not send many people to occupy the outer position of Xianning. He only sent a regiment of more than 2,000 people. And now, he was waiting for news from Liu Feng…
The heavy artillery was still roaring. While Liu Feng was still arranging the surprise attack plan, a troop that was about the size of a company was slowly advancing towards the heavy artillery position of the Sichuan Army. This troop was dressed in the uniform of the Revolutionary Army. On the battlefield, almost everyone's attention was on the battlefield of Xianning City in front. With the cover of the dense forest, this troop also smoothly reached less than one kilometer away from the heavy artillery position.
"Who are you?" Finally, an Artillery Guard Regiment soldier who was on guard noticed something unusual and shouted at the forest in front of him. At the same time, he raised the submachine gun in his hand and pointed it forward without hesitation.
"Don't be agitated, brother, don't be agitated. I'm also a member of the Revolutionary Army. I'm under General Tang's command. I lost my formation in the previous battle and got lost in this dense forest.”A few middle-aged men in tattered Revolutionary Army uniforms walked out from the forest. One of them quickly said.
"General Tang? That General Tang?" The guard asked. He was absolutely suspicious of the subordinates of the so-called " General Tang." Although the Guard Regiment did not participate in the battle yesterday, as an Artillery Guard Regiment, he was very clear about the power of the heavy artillery behind him.
With yesterday's situation, there was almost no decent resistance during the entire battle. How could the Revolutionary Army soldiers be scattered? There was definitely something wrong with this guy!
"Of course it's General Tang Shengzhi. Who else could it be? Could it be Tang Jiyao?”The middle-aged soldier revealed his identity without changing his expression. As for their identities, they had fabricated them after learning about the composition of the revolutionary army yesterday.
In fact, they wanted to disguise themselves as soldiers of the Sichuan Army, but they didn't know the situation of the Sichuan Army. Secondly, time was tight, and they couldn't prepare the uniforms of the Sichuan Army. Therefore, after some consideration, they had no choice but to give up this plan and disguise themselves as soldiers of the Revolutionary Army.
" Oh? If that's the case, then come with me to see our senior officer. If you're really General Tang's men, our senior officer will naturally arrange for you to return to the team." As he said this, the guard regiment signaled his companions who had rushed over to be on guard. Then, he turned around and walked towards the artillery position.
