"Damn it, why isn't Li Zekai firing anymore?!”
"Continue firing. Look, the speed of advancement is much faster than before. With another round of bombardment, we will definitely be able to push the minions up!!”
Lin Tianhong was like a lunatic, his throat hoarse. The small Guangyi City was actually so difficult to deal with. He had mobilized a full division of soldiers. Where did that dog Li Yao get so many heavy machine guns? Their bullets seemed to be free.
The price of a Maxim heavy machine gun on the black market was at least 1,000 Qian Yuan. If it was a war between the states, the price would be even higher. For example, the Jiankang manufacturing bureau, Jiangcheng military factory, and other domestic production of heavy machine guns were cheaper. The price of heavy machine guns imported from Xiyuan was even more expensive. The price of machine gun bullets, once the heavy machine gun was fired, it was not bullets, but golden Qian Yuan, all of which were banknotes.。
Normally, the Sichuan army did not use live ammunition for training. It was too extravagant. Whether it was guns or cannons, if it was not for the fact that Liu Renhou's 2nd division was sent, his artillery could be said to be the best in the Sichuan army. Most importantly, Liu Renhou's artillery had been on the battlefield a few times and had fired live ammunition a few times, so it was much more refined than the artillery of other divisions.
.........................................................................
"Chief of Staff, Li Zekai from the artillery said that if we continue fighting, we will run out of ammunition. At that time, the artillery will be holding fire sticks…"
"Bullsh * t! I spent so much money on the artillery regiment. Liu Renhou, the artillery received so much money every month.？”
On the side, Liu Renhou was also angry and his expression was ugly. When the cannon was fired, ten thousand taels of gold would be given. Moreover, the military expenses given by the higher-ups were taken by the middle levels. How much money would be left in the hands of the artillery? A 75mm mountain cannon shell was even more difficult to buy than a heavy machine gun. The large military factories in the country were controlled by the governors of the various provinces. The artillery shells of the Sichuan army were bought from the cherry blossom people. They were expensive.
"My Chief of Staff, now is not the time to discuss this. If we don't take down Guangyi's defensive line, the morale of the 2nd division will fall into chaos. Retreat! Look at the trenches dug by these bastards.!”
Liu Renhou really did not expect that the small Guangyi County would have such an iron-blooded army. If not for their numbers, they would have been wiped out long ago.
The 2nd Division's artillery coverage had indeed been effective. However, on the right side of the battlefield, there was another heavy machine gun position. There were also countless Hanyang soldiers hiding in the trenches, firing continuously. After one shot, the head would fall. After pulling the bolt and loading, there would be another round of fire.
The charge of thousands of people was forced to a halt!
Right now, the four regiments of the 2nd division were using the corpses as cover. They were lying on the ground and didn't dare to advance.。
The 2nd Battalion, or rather, it was not just a single battalion, but two battalions. Even without the signalmen, the number of soldiers in the battalion was close to 900. The heavy machine guns that did not take into account the consumption of bullets were firing wildly…
"That's right, Chief of Staff. There are too many heavy machine guns on the other side. Even if there are fewer people, our brothers can't even reach the defense line before they fall!!”
"Chief of Staff, let's retreat first. We'll wait for Night to launch a sneak attack. We have the advantage in numbers. Once we break through the defense line, their heavy machine guns will be useless!!”
A few officers from the 2nd Division tried to persuade Lin Tianhong. The Chief of Staff was usually so calm, but why did he seem to have gone crazy today? He was determined to take down Guangyi City regardless of the cost. However, the situation was stronger than the person. The Independent Regiment had used up all their bullets and forced the 2nd Division to retreat…
Lin Tianhong thought of Li Yao rescuing Xiong Xueling from Rong City and that old thing Shen Wan actually dared to slip away from under his eyes. This stinky salted fish, it had only been a year or two and he actually had such a powerful troop.
Lin Tianhong started to feel afraid.
If Li Yao was given another year or two, no one in Rong City or the entire Western Sichuan would be his match.
What Zheng Donglai said in the letter was true. Could it be that Li Yao really had a military factory? Otherwise, where did these heavy machine guns come from? No matter how rich Shen Wan was, it was impossible for him to get so many firearms for Li Yao in a short period of time.
Even the elite army of Da Qian would not have such dense heavy machine guns with the same number of soldiers…
Thinking of this, Lin Tianhong was shocked.。
As long as his division fought steadily, they would definitely be able to take down Guangyi City. After calming down, Lin Tianhong immediately made his decision.
At the beginning of the war, he had truly been blinded by insanity. Of course, it was meaningless to say that he could not do it after the fact. Who would have thought that Li Yao would have so many machine guns?？
If it weren't for these heavy machine guns, the thousands of soldiers of the 2nd Division would have already turned the sniper position upside down.
Lin Tianhong waved his hand and said coldly.
"Then order the entire army to retreat immediately!!”
"After dark, we'll look for an opportunity to attack the city!!”
However, it was too late. Li Yao was afraid that the Second Division would not attack. Once Lin Tianhong ordered the Second Division to attack from another direction, the Independent Regiment would not have the time to set up another battlefield, let alone dig a new round of trenches.
"Guild Leader!"
Liu Zhang also saw that the 2nd division was slowly retreating. If they missed the best opportunity, this battle would bring huge losses to Guangyi.
"Order the 2nd Battalion that is searching for the main force to cover with heavy machine guns and quickly send the artillery to attack position!!”
"Order Wang Rong's 3rd Infantry Battalion to attack from the north!!”
"Order Zhou Ren's 1st Battalion to enter the battlefield from the left and attack the retreating infantry of the 2nd Division!!”
It was unknown when the Independent Regiment had started this tradition. During the drill, as long as there was a general attack, a soldier would blow the bugle. It was a trumpet that was similar to a trumpet. The bugle music during the general attack was extremely powerful and instantly penetrated the entire battlefield.
All the soldiers of the Independent Regiment only had one thought in their minds!!
The general attack was about to begin…
