Qian Meng led his men out of the mortar bombing range.
But what Qian Meng didn't notice was that less than a hundred meters away from them was the Second Battalion's position.
"Why do they still have cannons? Tell me, tell me!!!" Qian yanked the adjutant's collar and roared at him.
"No...I don't know, brigade commander, how can they still have mortars? Could...could it be given to them by the support of the imperial army." The adjutant said tremblingly.
"Counterattack, counterattack, set up the mortar for me and prepare for counterattack."
Qian Meng pushed the adjutant away and ordered: "Send a report to the commander immediately and tell him that the remnants of the 14th Regiment..."
"Bang bang bang~"
"Whoosh~"
"Puch~ah"
"Ah~"
Before Qian Meng could finish what he said, the light and heavy machine guns of the Second Battalion had already opened fire on them.
"Da da da da~"
"Da da da da~"
"Dong dong dong~"
"Hidden! Hidden!"
"Everyone, stay hidden, there is an ambush!"
"Why is there...Puch~uh?"
"Well……"
Second battalion position!
"Hahaha, hahaha, kill these dogs for me." Li Sheng stood on the battlefield and shouted with a smile as he looked at the Sichuan Eastern Army who was hit by machine guns and running away.
He was once a veteran of the original 14th Regiment. He also participated in that battle and was one of the survivors.
Today he saw that the Sichuan Eastern Army was beaten so hard that he couldn't find the north. He couldn't say how happy he was.
"Damn, kill them for me." Li Sheng said and fired two shots with the 98k in his hand.
"Batalion Commander Li, our mission is accomplished, let's retreat first."
At this time, behind Li Sheng, Wang Dazhu said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can retreat first. We are here to support you."
After Li Sheng said this, Wang Dazhu withdrew with his brothers from the artillery company.
…
"Brigade, the mortars are ready."
Qian Meng was hiding behind a stone in the distance.
In fact, this place was beyond the range of bullets, but Qian Meng was still afraid.
"Fire, fire, what are you waiting for!!!!" Qian shouted angrily at the adjutant.
"Yes, Traveler!"
"Fire! Fire!"
Then the artillery battalion of the Eastern Sichuan Army launched artillery fire on the second battalion's position.
But their artillery was relatively weak, not to mention that the Second Battalion was already well prepared and had already taken cover when they fired.
So that the artillery fire did not do much harm to them.
"Quick, rush forward while they are being bombed, rush forward!!!" Qian Meng waved his hand excitedly.
Then everyone in the Shandong Army rushed forward.
"Batalion Commander, they're coming up," a soldier shouted.
Li Sheng stretched his head and looked down, shouting: "Don't worry, wait until we get closer before fighting!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
"Get the machine gunners ready!"
"Understood, battalion commander!"
"Batalion Commander, they are coming up soon."
"Hit me!"
"Bang bang bang~"
"Da da da da da~"
"Da da da da da~"
All the firepower of the second battalion poured down.
"Ah...~"
"Puch~ta-da-da~ah~"
"Come on...!!!! Bang~"
"Come on~"
"Da da da da~"
"Ah~ah..."
At this time, Qian Meng was watching from behind the rocks as his troops fell one by one, and many of them rolled down the mountain.
"How could their firepower be so intense? How many people are there!!! Even our brigade does not have such intense firepower!"
"Brigadier, let's withdraw the troops first. The losses will be too great."
"No, it will be difficult to retreat and attack again!"
"Where's the mortar? Blow it up for me, cover fire!!!"
"Yes! Traveler!"
"Keep the mortars dropping!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"Uh~"
"Dogzi..."
"Ah~dong~"
This time the mortar shells finally caused damage to the people of the second battalion.
"Dong dong dong~"
"Da da da~ da da da~"
"Da da da~ah..."
"Assistant gunner on top!"
"Da da da~"
"Hahaha, yes, blow it up as hard as you can." Qian Meng laughed and looked at the Second Battalion's position.
At this time, the Sichuan Army suddenly stopped after dropping more than a dozen waves of artillery shells.
"Um?"
"What's going on? Why didn't it explode?"
"Brigade, there are no more artillery shells. The ammunition loading vehicle was bombed at Sanlaqiao just now."
"What?"
"Why did you tell me now!" Qian Meng immediately felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Out of ammunition? What to do?
Qian Meng originally thought that he could charge into the position with mortars, but this idea was shattered.
Then he looked at the position ahead.
As soon as the shells stopped, the troops that had been pushed up were knocked down again.
"Let the troops withdraw first, we won't be able to fight like this." Qian Meng sat on the ground and waved his hands feebly.
"Yes, Traveler."
As soon as the attacking troops heard the order to retreat, they immediately turned around and ran down the mountain.
"Battal Commander, they are withdrawing."
"I can't help but fight. How long have we been fighting?"
"Batalion Commander, it's about twenty minutes."
"That's almost it." Li Sheng said to the retreating enemy troops.
"Batalion Commander, let's withdraw."
"Yes." Li Sheng nodded and said, "Now the whole battalion starts packing up its equipment. In ten minutes, the whole battalion will retreat. Remember, leave a few guns behind."
"Yes, battalion commander."
The soldiers retreating at the foot of the mountain have been beaten and have no fighting spirit. Only through experience can you know how fierce the enemy's firepower is.
Qian Meng came out from behind the stone and looked at the troops in front of him.
"Take my call from the Commander."
"Yes, Traveler!"
Funing County.
Sun Yu was drinking tea in the living room at this time, as if the victory was already within his grasp.
"Dingling bell~"
"I am Sun Yu"
"What?" Sun Yu stood up immediately when she heard the voice inside.
"Qian Meng, you loser, can't a brigade take down a 14th regiment?"
"How is that possible? How could they have cannons? Stop making excuses for your failure." Sun Yu stamped his feet angrily.
Because Qian Meng actually said that the 14th Regiment had artillery and several light and heavy machine guns.
"Qian Meng, don't say such things to me here, I tell you, if you can't take Humeng County, I will kill you!!!" Sun Yu finally said through gritted teeth.
"Commander, we have no ammunition, otherwise I will definitely capture Humeng County for you." These were Qian Meng's words.
"You took so much ammunition, how come there is nothing left?"
"You loser!"
"I'll have someone deliver it to you soon. If you can't win it from Humeng County, come and see me!"
After saying that, Sun Yu hung up the phone.
"Call Cai Ren over."
Sanlahe position.
"Commander, what did the commander say?" the adjutant asked from the side.
"Huh~" Qian let out a deep breath and said, "The commander said he would send someone to deliver supplies later. Now you can sort out the troops and see how many people there are."
"Yes, Commander!" the adjutant saluted.
"Assemble the entire army!"
