Behind Niancun, ten 105mm howitzers have been adjusted.
The armored battalion led by Song Tiance also gathered here.
"Deputy commander, the commander ordered our troops to fire immediately, and fire ten rounds before the second and fourth battalions arrived!"
The correspondent said while holding the telegram.
"Wang Dazhu!"
"exist!"
"Adjust the muzzle position and fire in the direction of Niancun!"
"Yes!" Wang Dazhu saluted and shouted!
"Everyone is here, heading toward Nian Village to provide fire support to the third battalion!"
"fire!"
As the signal flag fell, ten howitzers fired a salvo, heading straight for the 38th and 40th Divisions of the imperial army.
Niancun position.
"A soldier of the third battalion was leaning in the trench to change bullets. Suddenly he looked up and saw a small black dot in the sky."
"Hey, what do you think this is?"
"Ah?" Another soldier looked up at the sky.
"Is this...a cannonball?"
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, a small black dot passed by the position and fell into the enemy position in front.
The huge power of a cannonball killed more than a dozen enemies instantly, and the enemy at the center of the explosion didn't even have a complete body.
The physical damage of the shells is great, but the psychological trauma to the enemy is even greater.
Ten cannonballs are not enough, and then,
twenty rounds
Thirty rounds
…
One hundred artillery shells fell into the enemy positions.
"Hahaha……"
"Brothers, let's fight. The deputy commander and his friends are here, and the other brothers will be here too. The howitzers have already fired!" Ma Tianying shouted with a smile.
"Da da da~"
"You little bastards, eat my grandpa's bullets!"
"Da da da~ da da da~"
"Pfft~" A bullet suddenly flew and hit a soldier's arm.
"Laoba~"
"Monitor, I'm fine~...
Luo Chang and Feng Yi in the distance already had the idea of retreating.
Just when the two of them were about to give the order to retreat, they heard another explosion on both sides of them.
"No, we are surrounded." Luo Zhang's eyes widened instantly and he was sweating.
"Surrounded by...?" Feng Yi looked around.
"It was surrounded."
"Retreat the troops quickly, retreat, retreat quickly, we will be surrounded soon." Commander Luo ignored Feng Yi and said to his chief of staff.
"Yes, Master."
"Mr. Feng, you should retreat quickly, otherwise we will all have to answer..."
Before Chief Luo could finish speaking, they saw ten armored vehicles in the distance advancing toward them regardless of bullets. Above each armored vehicle was an MG42 general-purpose machine gun that fired at the soldiers in front of them indiscriminately.
Behind the armored vehicle were troops whose numbers could not be clearly seen.
"It's over... we're done..." Luo Zhang shouted and a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fell to the ground.
"Hey, Lao Luo..." Feng Yi called from the side.
Seeing their master's seat fall, the Thirty-Eighth Division instantly lost their fighting spirit.
Soldiers from the second and fourth battalions also rushed over from both sides.
The 38th Division and the 40th Division formed a siege.
The remaining several thousand defeated soldiers of the two divisions dropped their guns and squatted on the ground.
"Ma Tianying!"
"arrive!"
"Control the prisoners and bring them back to Humeng County and hand them over to the Chief of Staff."
"yes!"
"Li Sheng!"
"arrive!"
"Take your second battalion to capture Luan'an County, Fanming County, Huayi County, and Longhua County. There are no garrison troops in these five counties. Your second battalion can march straight in."
"Yes, deputy commander."
"Hu Zhenfeng!"
"arrive!"
"After you took the Fourth Battalion and captured Huayi County with the Second Battalion, you stationed there."
"Yes, deputy captain!"
"Wang Dazhu!"
"arrive!"
"Take the armored battalion with me and head toward Crow Mountain!"
"yes!"
Immediately, except for the third battalion who stayed in place, everyone else went to carry out their orders.
Crow Mountain Position.
The First Battalion is a unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness. It is not only strong in combat effectiveness, but also in execution.
After Qin Jinhong ordered them to go to Crow Mountain, the first battalion hurriedly marched here.
After arriving here, we waited for almost three hours before we arrived at the 39th Division.
Now, they are at war with the 39th Division.
Zhao Meng can now be said to have doubts about life.
He originally thought that if he mobilized his Thirty-ninth Division, so many people would not die, but he didn't know that the enemy he encountered here was much more powerful than the firepower just now.
"Brothers, fight these little Karami!" Sun Dayu held a machine gun and pointed it at them.
"Da da da~"
"Da da da……"
"Dong dong dong~"
…
Of the more than 10,000 people of the Thirty-ninth Division, nearly 2,000 died in Nian Village, and nearly half of them died here in Crow Mountain.
"No, we can't fight like this. If we continue to fight like this, my Thirty-ninth Division will be completely destroyed."
"Quickly, order the troops to retreat and go to Luan'an County."
"It's the commander." The chief of staff saluted.
Crow Mountain Position.
"Battal Commander, why did they withdraw? I haven't fought enough yet. Let's chase them," a soldier said next to Sun Dayu.
"The regimental commander's order is for us to block them. If there is no regimental commander's order, just stay here." Sun Dayu glanced at the soldiers next to him and said.
Zhao Meng led his troops that were cut in half and headed towards Luan'an City, but before he could see the shadow of Luan'an City, he was blocked by the armored battalion led by Song Tiance.
The troops who had suffered both physical and psychological trauma lost all intention of fighting after seeing the armored vehicles of the armored battalion. They all dropped their guns and surrendered.
"Don't kill me...don't kill me..." Zhao Meng was carried by two soldiers to Song Tiance.
Zhao Meng didn't look majestic at this time. His whole body was shaking and most of his pants were wet.
"Why are you such a waste? How can you still lead three divisions? This Zhao Wanfang is really good at selecting people, and he actually chose you." Song Tiance pointed at Zhao Meng and cursed with a smile.
"Send a telegram to the regiment headquarters saying that the 39th Division has been captured by our armored battalion and ask for instructions on the next task." Song Tiance said to the correspondent.
"Yes, deputy commander."
…
Humong County.
"Captain, good news. Tiance has captured the 39th Division and captured Zhao Meng. He asked for instructions on the next task." Xu Zhi said excitedly, holding the telegram in his hand.
"Okay! Where is the second battalion?" Qin Jinhong asked with a smile.
"The Second Battalion should arrive in Longhua County soon according to the schedule."
"Okay." Qin Jinhong nodded and said, "Now it depends on Cao Yi. Let's use it as his certificate of submission."
"Order the first battalion, the armored battalion to be stationed in Songjiatun first as a precaution."
"Captain, are you afraid..."
"It's always right to be careful, although now I basically trust the Thirty-seventh Division."
"What's the situation of the Thirty-seventh Division now?"
"An attack has been launched on Hemeng County. The troops mobilized by Zhao Wanfang have not yet been fully assembled. Now the defenders of Hemeng County are resisting. Thirty-seven casualties are not small."
"Let's see, what's going on in Tianfu now?"
"There is news that Zhao Wanfang is going to escape. He has now transferred all Tianfu's garrison troops to Hemeng City."
"Does that mean Tianfu is an empty city?" Qin Jinhong's eyes lit up and he asked.
"That's right, Captain, don't you want to..."
"how?"
"Is this too risky?" Xu Zhiyong asked.
"There's nothing risky. The second battalion and the fourth battalion can support each other."
"Order the Second Battalion to march towards Tianfu!"
"Okay, Commander, I'll send the report right away."
