When the 3rd regiment arrived at Panzhi Flower City, the county garrison had already detected them. However, they did not know which troop it was. They had never thought that it would be the militia of Xiaohe Village. They thought that it was the troops of some commander.
They couldn't be blamed for thinking this way. With the strength of a civilian regiment, they couldn't have such excellent weapons and equipment.
When his subordinates told Wang Shuai and the county head, the two of them thought that it was the scattered soldiers of the Sichuan-Yunnan Battle. It was normal to have so many scattered soldiers at this time. They heard that the warlords of the two provinces had been fighting fiercely during this period of time, and there were scattered soldiers everywhere.
Was this a joke? How could a village's militia have such equipment?
However, how to deal with it was still a problem. Although he looked down on the militia, even if it was a well-equipped militia, he felt that the fighting strength of this militia was definitely not comparable to the bandits on Twin Dragon Mount.
The bandits were all outlaws, but these militia were just farmers with guns. At least, that was what the people in the county thought.
However, no matter how good the weapons were, they would still cause huge casualties to the garrison.
Also, what were they doing here?
He said to his subordinates," These unruly people below are really arrogant. They think that they don't put us in their eyes just because their equipment is a little better. Brothers, today we will let these unruly people below see what war is. When we annihilate them, their weapons will be ours. Their weapons are much stronger than ours. If you win, I will reward you handsomely."
"Don't worry, Guild Leader. We will definitely let the unruly people know that the tiger's butt is not to be touched. Hehehe!" Everyone agreed excitedly.
"Captain, let my 1st Battalion go up first. We have the confidence to take down the county." The commander of the 1st Battalion asked.
"Why should your 1st Battalion go first? Can't our 2nd Battalion take it down?”The commander of the 2nd Battalion said unhappily.
"That's right, why should your 1st Battalion go first while we sit behind and watch?”The commander of the 3rd Battalion added.
"Alright, let's see what you've become. This is the Regiment Headquarters, not a market. What are you fighting for? First Battalion, go first. Second and Third Battalions, get ready to receive.”Zhang Changzhang decided to let the 1st Battalion attack first, because the 1st Battalion was the strongest.
"Obey orders!"
The two Battalion Commanders were prepared to fight for it, but their regiment commander had already given the order. They could only obey, even though they were not convinced.
After the mission was given, the three regiments all started to move. Those who built the buildings were doing construction work, those who set up the artillery positions were seriously setting up, and all the commanders were deploying firepower. Do your best.
The guards on the city wall were wondering why the militia did not attack.
Even Wang Shuai was a little confused. This group of people also knew how to build? Are you kidding me?
However, no matter how confused the people on the city wall were, the people of the Third Regiment continued to do their own things.
"Grandpa, are the people outside attacking? Can they win?" A twelve-year-old little girl asked her grayish-bearded grandfather doubtfully. Although Pan Zhihua was not rich, she could still live a decent life. After the fat county magistrate became the county magistrate, many people had a hard time under the heavy taxes.
From time to time, there would be innocent women being insulted. This was all done by the ruffians of the county garrison, but the county head and Wang Shuai did not care at all. Not only did they not care, but they also did what they did. The little girl's mother committed suicide after being insulted, and her father was also beaten to death in resistance.
How much better was it outside than here?
Therefore, everyone was enduring it. As long as they did not touch their own homes, they could survive.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion were all hiding behind the sandbag fortification, quietly waiting for the commander's order. The commander was waiting for the signal from the artillery. As long as the artillery blasted a hole in the city wall, the 1st Battalion would rush in immediately. As the garrison didn't know that the 3rd Regiment was equipped with artillery, they thought that these people were afraid of death.
Wang Shuai, who was hiding behind the parapet with a few of his subordinates, was getting impatient, so he ordered the soldiers beside him to shoot as a warning.
"Yes, sir."
The shells had already hit the city wall. The guards who reacted immediately fired at the city wall, but they did not aim because the previous few shots had scared them. Unfortunately, the 75mm howitzer was unable to break through the city wall in a short period of time.
On the artillery position
"Gou 'zi, quick, the first few shots didn't break the city wall. Fire another five shots. Everyone, five rapid shots.。。Release!"
"Woo... Boom!"
Before the garrison could react, another dozen shells hit the city wall. The entire city wall shook. When they opened their eyes, a section of the city wall was already missing a large hole. A few more shots and that section of the city wall would be destroyed.
At this moment, Wang Shuai was terrified and furious.
"Damn it, why does this militia have cannons? Why? The guards passed down my order. Beat them up. Don't let them in, or we'll all die.”
"Yes, Guild Leader."
"The regiment commander has ordered us to beat them up ruthlessly. Otherwise, everyone will die.”
The moment the cannons stopped firing, gunshots could be heard from both sides of the city. From time to time, the guards would die, and from time to time, the 1st Battalion would die as well. The 1st Battalion was at the bottom of the city, and their position was too awkward. If it wasn't for the support from the artillery and the advantage of the 1st Battalion's firepower, the 1st Battalion would have already retreated. There weren't many casualties, and their defenses were quite good.
"Hu Zi, quick, change my bullets. Hurry, Hu Zi? Hu Zi…" A gunner was lying on the ground with a bowl-sized hole in his chest that was bleeding. He was trembling non-stop and looked like he was going to die. The same situation happened on both sides.
However, the garrison was on the verge of collapse. The machine gunners and snipers of the 1st Battalion had caused too many casualties to the garrison. Dozens of soldiers fell every minute. Coupled with the 75mm shells fired by the artillery from time to time, the originally strong city wall was on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing that the 1st Battalion was about to cripple the Garrison Guard Regiment, the other two Battalion Commanders were tempted. Even if they couldn't get any meat, they could at least get some soup to drink.
