When the achievements of hegemony were achieved, when the original intention of the revolution was gradually drifting away, when the crown that unified the world was soaked in blood, was the dying ideal spark destined to be maintained by the powerful and almost arbitrary commander of the battlefield?
Perhaps in the long future, the northeast led by Zhang Hanze would bring iron blood and strength to the Dragon Country, which had lost hope. However, this process would be accompanied by the crazy rise of Zhang Hanze's personal prestige. At the same time, it would also make Zhang Hanze extremely autocratic. However, since Zhang Hanze had come to this era and given this opportunity, he believed that he would definitely be able to create an industry that belonged to this nation in the northeast and rely on industry to strengthen the army!!
..............................................................................................................
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 18th of July, the main force of the 27th Division of the Feng Army officially arrived in the northeast of North Town. At this distance, as long as the artillery was not convinced, they could cover the entire North Town with a few more kilometers.。
The location they were stationed at was also a forest that was not considered dense. It was used as a hiding place.
The 27th Division of the Feng Army had two infantry brigades, four infantry regiments, and an artillery regiment. There were also supplies, communications, and cavalry units. Zhang Yuting's 27th Division was considered a full establishment with nearly 12,000 soldiers!!
In the past half a year, due to the military supplies from the Yingkou Military Factory, the 27th Division had been officially equipped with 50mm grenade launchers, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns. Compared to Zhang Hanze's 1st Regiment, they had less equipment.
For example, the 27th Division was equipped with a 50mm grenade launcher…
Zhu Dongxu, the battalion commander of the 2nd regiment, 2nd regiment, 1st battalion, was at the front line of the 27th division. From his position, he could see the outline of the north town.
"Battalion Commander, how is it? This new rifle is much better than the one we used in the past. It must be made overseas.？”
Zhu Dongxu was holding the Type 16 Bolt Rifle produced in Yingkou Military Factory. It was not a foreign product. Of course, they would not believe that Yingkou could produce rifles independently.
"It is indeed a good gun. Compared to the Hanyang rifle, it is much better in terms of stability, firing speed, and material selection. It looks like a German standard rifle.”
Zhu Dongxu was quite knowledgeable. This rifle was a bit like the German 1888 Committee Rifle. When he was still a soldier in Beijing, he had seen it a few times.
Battalion Commander, you know this??"
"I told all of you not to study normally. There's everything in the books, but you just don't listen.”
Lin Xiaodong did not think much of it. Why did a soldier need to study? What was the use of studying? Moreover, those words were really difficult to recognize. He wanted to learn them, but he could not. What could he do?。
"Look at Little Liu in the mobilization team. He can read and use the grenade launcher. His military rank is about to surpass mine.!”
"I heard that the young marshal's troops in Yingkou enforce the rule that the soldiers have to learn 500 Chinese characters. Think about it, when the young marshal takes charge in the future, won't soldiers like you still have to learn? If you can't learn it in a day, you can learn it in two days. If you can't learn it in two days, you can learn it in a week.!”
Zhu Dongxu was also a little disappointed that he did not live up to his expectations. If he knew more words and read more books, he would not go wrong anywhere. Naturally, he wanted the best for his brothers.
The sun in the west gradually set. Slowly, the light began to darken. The 28th Division stationed in Northtown did not make a move. The artillery troops were also constantly adjusting their firing angles. In this war, the orders they received were to capture Northtown at the smallest cost and the fastest speed possible, forcing Feng Delin to surrender.
If Zhang Hanze was here, he would definitely think that the 27th Division was very amateurish. There wasn't even a single fortification, trench, or machine gun fortification. If Feng Delin's 28th Division launched a surprise attack, the 27th Division would suffer heavy losses.
Looking from the sky, the 27th Division looked like a group of scattered soldiers. Despite having this batch of high-quality equipment, they were basically separated into battalions…
However, if Feng Delin really had outstanding military qualities, he would probably be the Fengtian Military Governor now. If such an opportunity was placed in front of him, he would not be able to grab it.
"Zhu Dongxu, Zhu Dongxu!"
" Yes, Leader!!"
Zhu Dongxu never expected that it would be a division commander who came personally. This was Zhang Zuoxiang, division commander Zhang, followed by the brigade commander. It seemed that it was right for their battalion to be the vanguard this time.
"How is it? Are you confident in the battle later?”
Zhang Zuoxiang and the other high-ranking officers of the 27th Division were all uncultured boors. They either sold tofu or were horse bandits. As for strategy, it was not something they should consider.
"Commander, we haven't fought this battle yet, so I'm not confident!!”
Zhu Dongxu spoke the truth. After all, he had been in Fengtian for so many years, but he had never fought in a war. At most, he had just gone through military drills on a daily basis. However, those were all fake. It would not be like now. He might be shot in the head and die if he was not careful. The pressure in his heart would definitely be different.
The regiment commander was also desperately blinking at himself. A great battle was imminent. How could he say such disheartening words? It seemed that this kid's head had been kicked by a donkey.
"Commander, this kid must have drunk too much and said some nonsense. We will definitely win this battle!!”
Zhang Zuoxiang felt the same as many soldiers. This was the first time the 27th Division had encountered a battle with a regular army. In the past, when they fought, it was a joke. If they gathered more people and fired a few shots into the sky to scare people, the battle would end in a short while.。
But today, they were going to fight with real weapons.
"Commander Zhang, Feng Delin's 28th Division has appeared…"
At this moment, the soldiers of the communication unit finally found the location of the 28th division. They did not expect Feng Delin to have kept his troops in the entire county city. That was a force of eight to nine thousand people.
If Zhang Hanze or the Japanese army instructor were here, they might think that the two sides were about to fight.。
This was because both Feng Delin and Zhang Zuoxiang had given the order to attack. Both sides didn't even probe and went straight to the point. It was actually like ancient wars, where the two armies fought and charged directly.。
At most, during this charge, the rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns of both sides opened fire...
This sudden start of the war seemed a little ridiculous, but it also made people feel pitiful. It was no wonder that the Feng Army had failed in several foreign wars one after another. If they encountered elites like the Japanese army, it would not be surprising for them to lose ten to one.
In this era, many small warlords in the south fought like this. Both sides would fight a decisive battle from the start without building any fortifications at all. Some would even fire a few shots into the sky and end the battle in a hurry. After the battle ended, those who should eat and those who should sleep would eat and sleep. Only the army under the Northern Warlords and the armies under a few big warlords would fight to the death for huge benefits.
After all, the warlords were only fighting among themselves, so there was no need to be too ruthless…
