"Commander-in-chief, gun!" Thunderous Battle respectfully handed the signal gun to Li Ruoyu.
Li Ruoyu looked at the loaded signal gun and then at the Sichuan soldiers who did not notice anything at all. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile."The moment this bullet rises into the sky, the death knell of the Sichuan army will ring. After today, the old era of warlords would never return in Sichuan!”
After saying that, he raised his signal gun without hesitation and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The signal flare shot up into the sky and exploded into a bright red flower the moment it was about to fall.
Liu Xiang was also shocked by the red signal flare. He stared blankly at the blood-red explosion in the sky behind him, and his heart began to beat wildly.
" Fire!" a regiment commander of the 7th army shouted hoarsely.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the next second, the cannons fired one after another.
The roaring cannons spewed out balls of flames, and the shells smashed fiercely towards the camp of the Sichuan Army.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers were bombarded, and the originally orderly troops were blasted into chaos.
The artillery fire was too fierce, especially with the addition of 50 large-caliber howitzers. A single cannonball would destroy everything within a radius of dozens of meters.
If it landed in a crowded area, it would really explode.
Soon, the defensive line that Liu Xiang had carefully arranged was blown to pieces, and the inverted triangular formation had instantly collapsed.
When Liu Xiang saw this scene, she shouted in shock and anger,"Damn it, do the eyes of those people behind you grow to their butts? The Gui Army had circled around to their sides. Could they not see it?”
"Officer Liu, our rear troops have suffered heavy losses. "They need backup!" an officer shouted as he rushed over.
Just as Liu Xiang was about to speak, a large number of artillery shells suddenly fell towards his defense line. The violent explosion instantly blew up his position.
Liu Xiang's troops suffered heavy casualties, and people were blown away everywhere.
Faced with such a violent bombardment, Liu Xiang's eyes were filled with disbelief."I finally understand why the Dian Army and the Qian Army were defeated so quickly. The firepower of the Gui Army is much higher than ours!”
"Sir, should we retreat?”His subordinate crawled to his side and shouted.
Liu Xiang glared at him and roared,"The battle hasn't even started yet and you're already thinking of retreating?" When have we Sichuan soldiers ever been so cowardly?”
The subordinate pointed behind him and said,"But our brothers are all running for their lives!" If you don't leave now, they will all escape!”
Liu Xiang turned around and saw many people running away from the camp.
At this moment, Liu Xiang was extremely depressed. It wasn't that his soldiers were afraid of death, but that the Gui Army's firepower was too fierce.
In a chaotic warlord battle, no soldier was willing to fight to the death.
After all, this was not to protect the country. It was only for the interests of the warlords. The soldiers had no reason to die. At the moment of life and death, escaping was the basic operation.
Liu Xiang knew that the situation was hopeless. If he didn't leave now, he would become a commander without a commander. He would either be blown up or captured.
"Retreat immediately!" Liu Xiang finally ordered helplessly.
Liao Lei saw that the Sichuan army was beginning to fall apart and immediately realized that this was the best time to attack.
"Pass down the order. All troops attack. No one is allowed to rest. If the Sichuan army doesn't stop, our people aren't allowed to stop. Kill them until they surrender or die!”
A moment later, as the bugle call sounded, the soldiers of the 32nd division rushed out with their new weapons and chased after the Sichuan soldiers.
The M1 Garand rifle had continuous firepower, suppressing the Sichuan army.
In front of the M1 Garand, the guns in the hands of the Sichuan soldiers could only be called bird guns. They could only shoot birds, but they were powerless to fight back.
The 32nd division's charge immediately caused the Sichuan army to be completely defeated.
When Li Ruoyu saw this scene from a high place, he took the battle flag from Thunderous Battle's hands with a cold expression.
"Seventh Gang Army, charge with me!" Li Ruoyu roared and rushed down the mountain.
The main force of the Gang Qi Army followed closely behind him. Looking at the fluttering flag of the wolf head, everyone felt their blood boil, but their eyes were filled with a cold killing intent.
"Wolf soldiers charge, they die again.”Li Ruoyu shouted as he ran.
The wolf soldiers of the Gang Qi Army were like a pack of hungry wolves as they charged towards the retreating Sichuan Army.
As soon as they approached, a large number of rifles and submachine guns swept towards the Sichuan army.
The overwhelming rain of bullets caused the Sichuan soldiers to fall in rows like chopped chives.
The remaining soldiers of the Sichuan Army were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Many of them threw away their guns and raised their hands in surrender.
Liu Xiang and the other warlords retreated. After fleeing for two hours, they finally escaped into Chengdu.
After entering the city, the warlords quickly inspected their troops. Each of them had lost at least half of their troops.
A small portion of their people died in battle, and most of them surrendered during the retreat.
"Liu Xiang, didn't you say that we could defeat Gui Jun?”"Don't you know that their firepower is so fierce?" Yang Sen roared. We're like eggs hitting a rock!"
Everyone glared at Liu Xiang, pushing all the blame of the defeat onto him.
Liu Xiang's face was filled with a bitter smile as she sat down on the chair."Li Ruoyu, I really underestimated you! Gui Jun Wolf Commander, you really live up to your title!”
