The Second Division's charge was not fancy at all. It seemed that they had launched a general attack at this moment. After the first round of bombardment, the brats who had come from Rong City dared to launch a general attack right under Li Yao's nose.
The funniest thing was that there was no cover at all along the path of the charge. There were only a few short weeds. If the heavy machine guns of the independent regiment were to really spit out fire snakes, these unlucky bastards who were charging would only be killed in rows…
If Lin Tianhong had read more books and newspapers, he would not have attacked so rashly.
The Hans Empire's army charged at the Gaul Chicken's camp. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in a day in front of heavy machine guns, barbed wire, and various defensive fortresses. The corpses piled up like a small mountain...
In the era of firearms, a large number of people would only be sending themselves to their deaths. Even if there were 100,000 people, as long as they built a complete defense, there would be corpses on the way.
" This idiot!!"
"I'm really disappointed. I thought that after the first round of bombardment, there would be a probing attack. Now that all the troops have come, if the infantry fails to charge, Lin Tianhong will be defeated like a mountain!!”
Li Yao cursed in the trenches. This was no longer something that could be described as an idiot. Lin Tianhong was completely brainless. If such a person could become the Chief of Staff of the Sichuan Army, one could imagine how weak the true combat strength of the northern and southern warlords was. If they were to fight against the armies of the foreign powers in the Xi Yuan Continent in the future, they would definitely be beaten into a pig's head.
"Guild Leader, give the order!!”
" Lin Tianhong has gone too far. Although our trenches are strong, many of our brothers have suffered casualties, especially the 1st Battalion…"
....................................................................................
Li Yao, on the other hand, was able to keep his cool. After all, it was a charge of thousands of people. If the Independent Regiment was forced to withdraw from the fortifications, then there would be no fortifications from here to the county city. Once the artillery on the other side launched another attack, many people would die.
The battalion commanders were also impatient.
The 1st Battalion's defensive position was the closest to the Sichuan Army, so the 1st Battalion was the first to bear the brunt of the artillery fire…
Based on the bombardment just now, Li Yao could not possibly underestimate the Second Division of the Sichuan Army. They were not bandits…
Even if there were 5,000 people charging, the scene was not small.
What was that saying? Even if it was five thousand pigs, it would take a long time for an independent team to kill them…
Moreover, these were soldiers carrying rifles.
"All of you, go back to your respective positions. If Zhou Ren loses the first battalion's position later, you can f * cking talk nonsense here. Get lost and go to the kitchen!”
"Wait for the soldiers of the 2nd division to get closer before attacking!!”
The effective range of the Type 1685 rifle was only three to four hundred meters. Moreover, the sun was about to set, which would definitely affect the accuracy of the shot.
"Don't worry, Regiment Commander. This time, we must make Lin Tianhong crawl back. Damn it, how dare he charge into our sniper position so arrogantly!”
The focus of the Independent Regiment's firepower was still the grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. Each infantry battalion was equipped with eight grenade launchers. Li Yao would not be stingy with the number of shells. As long as the production line at the Mount Tang Armory was running, the ammunition could be delivered to the frontline without stopping.
The Maxim Heavy Machine Gun wasn't just a platoon-level weapon. Every infantry battalion had a HMG squad with eight Maxim Heavy Machine Guns.
The firepower of the 2nd Division was not even comparable to Li Yao's independent regiment, except for the 75mm mountain cannons.
"Monk, take the guard company and go around the right side of the trench.”
Li Yao unfolded the military map and marked a point. When the artillery of the Second Division attacked just now, according to the trajectory of the cannonballs, the position of the artillery of the Second Division was not far from the camp of the Third Battalion.
"Regiment Commander, you mean to ask me to destroy the artillery position?？”
"Zhou Yuan's company is carrying out a training mission outside. Otherwise, this artillery position would have been taken down long ago. Monk, be careful later. It's best to wait until nightfall to get more high-explosive grenades.”
Tyrant kept the map and immediately turned around.
He didn't need to worry about the regiment commander's skills. Even if he was injured, the regiment commander wouldn't be injured. Therefore, the guard company didn't have many tasks to do. Instead, the training tasks were the most important, especially when the regiment commander would drag them along to practice. Good heavens, no one was a match for the regiment commander in terms of shooting, combat, or theoretical skills.
It turned out that many of the old brothers of the guard company were sent to Zhou Yuan's unit. That unit was very mysterious and could not be seen all year round. The monk had occasionally heard from the regiment commander that this unit had always been active in big cities like Qian Jing, Song Jiang, and Yang Cheng.
At this moment, Zhou Ren had arrived at the 1st Battalion's position through the traffic trenches. In large-scale battles like those in Europe, there were defensive trenches that spanned a few kilometers. The offensive trenches included standard machine gun bunkers made of concrete and bricks. There was even a need for someone to lead the way in the trenches. Otherwise, they would definitely get lost after taking many turns.
"How is it? Is there anything wrong with the heavy machine gun position?”
The deputy battalion commander, Dong Xiaoyu, had just returned from the artillery position. A heavy machine gun had been hit by a cannonball. The body of the machine gun was broken and needed to be sent to the armory for repair.
"One of the second-in-command gunners is dead, and two of our brothers are seriously injured.”
"Let the brothers fight later. If we get closer, the lethality will be stronger. Find another platoon and move all the grenades in our camp to this platoon. When the heavy machine guns open fire, we will take advantage of the crossfire to advance.”
Zhou Ren felt aggrieved. They still had no way to get rid of the artillery of the 2nd Division…
The sky gradually darkened. Finally, when night fell, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion saw the 2nd Division.
"Battalion Commander, someone's here!"
Sure enough, Zhou Ren's military binoculars showed that there were some soldiers in military uniforms and made in Hanyang who were about three to four hundred meters away. They were all aggressive and did not even dodge.
"Are these people here to die? Don't tell me they don't know that our Independent Regiment has heavy machine guns? Or do they think that they're invincible and that bullets won't even leave a hole?？”
"All of you, be smart. Lock all the bullets and listen to my orders. If I say shoot, shoot all the bullets. These bastards are finally here!!!”
Zhou Ren's eyes were fierce and filled with anger.
