Shen Tianfeng, the leader of the grenade launcher squad of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, called out to his brothers behind him. The 50mm caliber super light mortar could be operated by a single person. The order from the regiment had not allowed the artillery unit to attack. His brothers were still holding it in. Now, it was finally time for the artillery unit to attack.
Normally, if others knew about the ammunition they trained every day, they might be scolded as a prodigal. Even if it was only a 50mm caliber ammunition, if they bought it outside, it would still be an astronomical figure.
Artillery soldiers like them were paid four dollars a month, which was twice as much as their infantry brothers. There was nothing they could do about it. Artillery required skills, and not everyone could become an artillery soldier. Moreover, they had more training programs than infantry soldiers, including the study of mortar tactics. It was no wonder that their regiment commander paid the artillery soldiers a high salary.
Just like the rumors in the military, the Independent Regiment was working hard to develop the 75mm mountain cannon. If the mountain cannon was to be mass-produced, the artillery would definitely be selected from their batch.
Cannon, the king of war.
The impact of the cannons produced by the Krupp Munitions Factory in the Hance Empire on the army of the Hance Empire was not something that infantry could compare to. The larger caliber, longer range, and stronger deterrence had always been the fear of humans towards cannons!!
"Almost there, 150 meters!!”
Shen Tianfeng had an excellent grasp of distance. In addition, the regiment commander had taught them some small techniques to compare distances. As long as they compared their thumbs, they could calculate the approximate distance. Of course, this was also because he was smart.
The current standard equipment of the Independent Regiment was that a standard infantry battalion had a grenade launcher team with a total of 26 people. They had eight 50mm grenade launchers and five 1685 rifles. Each person was equipped with a 1684 pistol. Even though the 50mm grenade launcher could be operated by a single person, for the sake of shooting speed on the battlefield, the Independent Regiment was still equipped with two people each. One person was responsible for loading, and the other was responsible for adjusting the shooting angle. At the same time, there were two grenade launchers. One person was responsible for transporting the shells, and the necessary defense soldiers formed a grenade launcher team.
"Captain, I heard that the improved cannonballs this time have much stronger explosive effects than the previous generation cannonballs. The regiment commander even specially approved some high-explosive cannonballs and flares!”
The development of the Independent Regiment was a miracle for Shen Tianfeng. At this time last year, he was still farming at home. He did not expect to join the army after a year…
"Brat, be careful. If the artillery of the Sichuan Army finds us, they will fire a cannon and you won't be able to see your wife.。”
Shen Tianfeng also joked, dispelling the nervousness of his brothers. The sky gradually darkened, and it was not a good choice for the artillery to be deployed at this time.
"Regiment Commander, look, the sky is already dark. The artillery of the Sichuan Army are not night owls. It would be strange if they could see us. As for us, we will fire a few rounds of flares later. These brats from Rong City will really be live targets.”
" That's right, Leader. I heard that the high-explosive bombs this time are extremely effective…"
Shen Tianfeng looked back and saw that they were already quite a distance away from the infantry. There were no more trenches for cover in this place, so they had to start attacking.
Shen Tianfeng then checked the shells around him. The barrels and the wooden boxes were neatly arranged. These were all produced by the Mount Tang Armament Factory.
" Begin the attack!!"
Shen Tianfeng also made a prompt decision and immediately gave the order to attack. He was familiar with the operation procedures. Perhaps it was because it was dark, or perhaps it was because the infantry had just won with the help of heavy machine guns, but many recruits did not feel afraid.
..........................................................................................
It was even better than his training condition!!
With the help of the igniting gunpowder at the bottom, the huge impact caused the first flare to quickly disappear. The flare with a long tail seemed to be the signal of the battlefield. Along with the sound of bullets sweeping across the entire battlefield, the entire situation was pushed to a climax.
Shen Tianfeng had never imagined that he would one day lead the artillery to charge on the battlefield. This kind of life was more exciting and meaningful than farming in his hometown.。
No matter what, he had to match the military uniform he was wearing!
The blazing white light above their heads turned the originally dark sky into a day that was visible to the naked eye…
At the same time, the artillery of the 1st Battalion, the artillery of the 2nd Battalion, and the mortars of the Independent Regiment, which had not opened fire, could no longer hold back. Even though they did not have the mountain cannons of the 2nd Sichuan Army, there were still many mortars of the Independent Regiment. The fire from the north, west, and south seemed to fill the sky.
"Bastard!"
"The Independent Regiment actually has cannons. Didn't we already investigate? The Independent Regiment doesn't have any cannons. Which bastard swore to me!!”
Lin Tianhong did not need binoculars at all. Once the Independent Regiment's flares rose into the sky, the entire battlefield was clear at a glance...
The frontal forces of the Independent Regiment seemed to have all rushed out of the trenches following the loud and clear bugle call…
Not only that…
What was terrifying was that in the west and north of the battlefield…
They also saw the trajectory of the cannonballs and heard the sounds of cannons...
There was only one thought in his heart…
They were surrounded. They were a division, so it was very likely that they were surrounded.。
Once this thought formed in his mind, he could no longer dismiss it.。
Lin Tianhong couldn't believe that an entire division was being surrounded by an entire regiment…
How many people were there in a group...
Tong.
Tong.
The artillery shells instantly smashed into the chaotic 2nd Division. The flames soared into the sky. Without cover, the 2nd Division became a group of prey waiting to be killed.
It was hopeless…
From the moment Lin Tianhong decided to attack with his entire division, this battle had already been lost. The only thing to blame was that the Independent Regiment had hidden their firepower too well. If it was anyone else, they would not believe that the Independent Regiment could withstand the charge of an elite division of the Sichuan Army…
"Retreat. If you don't retreat now, everyone will be gone…"
This battle had already been lost. At this moment, Liu Renhou really wanted to kill Lin Tianhong. That damned thing, that idiot. If Lin Tianhong had not sent all four of the 2nd division's regiments to charge forward, how could they have been defeated so quickly?
The independent regiment even had cannons.。
"No retreat, no retreat! Charge! Liu Renhou, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll shoot you!!”
Lin Tianhong had gone mad. The feeling of failure was like the greatest irony for Lin Tianhong. He had actually lost to Li Yao, a small independent regiment in Guangyi County…
"Chief of Staff, don't be stubborn. Look, do we still have a chance of winning? Men, take the Chief of Staff away and return to Rong City tonight!!”
The 2nd Sichuan Division's offense was like a surging tide. They came and left in a hurry. Someone leaked the news that Chief of Staff Lin Tianhong and Commander Liu Renhou had already escaped…
The 2nd Division's troops no longer had the heart to continue fighting.
Surrender seemed to be the best choice.。
