Because the news of the war between the Shu Army and the Hu Jia Army was sent out in the name of the Shu Army, several warlords have now received the news.
Jinling!
Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
"Commander, I just got the news that the Shu Army has declared a unilateral war on the Hu Jia Army and has already mobilized troops." He Tianji quickly walked into Xu Dingfang's office with the telegram and said.
"No reason?" Xu Dingfang raised his head and asked with some confusion.
"The Hujia army killed several civilians from the Shu army and wounded two soldiers."
"Haha." Xu Dingfang laughed, stood up and said calmly: "This group of bandits has a bad reputation in Qing Province, now it's interesting."
"Tianji, this is a good thing. Although the Hujia Army is a group of bandits, they still have hundreds of thousands of people. These hundreds of thousands of people can just test the strength of this Shu army for us." Xu Dingfang smiled. said.
"Good advice, Commander." He Tianji also nodded.
"But Commander, the Hu's army is probably not going to be able to last long with its backward equipment. Once their goal is to capture Qing Province, the strength of the Shu army will increase again." He Tianji couldn't help but feel worried.
"We can't do anything now. We don't know the strength of the Shu army very well. We can only let this Hujia army explore the way first." Xu Dingfang sighed and waved his hand.
"I understand, Commander."
"Have the weapons that Chou Country promised us arrived?"
"The first and second batches have arrived."
"Well... if you urge me again, I'm really worried about the Northeastern Army in the capital. If they don't retreat outside the customs, I won't be able to sleep or eat well." Xu Dingfang said.
"Yes, Commander!"
…
Ancient capital!
Of course Feng Hui also knew the news of the declaration of war between the Shu Army and the Hu Jia Army, but he was not happy now. If his relationship with the Shu Army was good, he would naturally be happy, but the main reason is that it is not good now, and he is even on bad terms.
"Commander, don't worry too much. Although we are not good with the Shu army, we are not bad either. We are not ready to go to war. This war between the Shu army and the Hujia army can just reduce the pressure on us in the west. ." Li Ji said.
"Yes." Feng Hui nodded and said, "You are right, so now we mainly sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers?"
"That's all we have now, we can't do anything." Li Ji nodded and said.
…
Qing Province.
tree market.
Within Ankang County.
Two long lines were walking on the wide road, with armored vehicles, tanks and artillery in the middle. The scene was very spectacular.
The soldiers carried rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns with high morale.
On the hill next to the long queue, a middle-aged man wearing the blue battle uniform of the Shu army stood there.
The two stripes and four stars on the military uniform symbolize his military rank.
He is none other than Wang Bo, commander of the 11th Brigade of the Shu Army.
At this time, he was looking into the distance with a black telescope.
Standing behind Wang Bo was also a middle-aged man in his forties.
He is Liu Shu, chief of staff of the 11th Brigade.
Behind the two men stood several guards carrying P40 submachine guns.
"This time our 11th Brigade is going to fight its first battle against foreign forces. This battle must be fought well, otherwise not only our 11th Brigade, but also our 4th Division will be unable to hold our heads high in front of other fraternal troops!" Wang Bo put down the telescope and said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, brigade commander. The soldiers are now full of fighting spirit. I believe there will be no problem in taking Shushi!" Liu Shu said with a smile.
"No, Master said, never underestimate the enemy at any time." Liu Bo waved his hand, glanced at Liu Shu, and said: "What I mean is to capture Shushi before the 12th Brigade enters Qing Province. !”
Liu Shu couldn't help but smile when he heard Wang Bo's words.
"Don't worry, Captain. Although Ankang City is currently garrisoned by more than five to eight thousand people, our soldiers can fight ten with one!" Liu Shu was very confident in the soldiers.
"Yes." Wang Bo nodded and said: "Tell the armored regiment to implement the commander's words. As long as they can be hit with artillery, don't use people to attack them. Use artillery fire to break their psychological defenses!"
"Yes, traveling seat!" Liu Shu stood at attention and saluted.
…
More than 10,000 people from the 11th Brigade marched toward Ankang County with tanks and artillery. They did not encounter any ambush along the way until their 11th Brigade reached a position five kilometers away from Ankang City.
The soldiers of the 11th Brigade Armored Battalion lined up the howitzers, and all the black muzzles were pointed at Ankang City in front.
"Prepare for thirty rounds of rapid fire!" the ordering soldier shouted.
…
In Ankang City.
There were originally three thousand people in Ankang City, but thousands of people were mobilized in other cities because of this incident. Hu Hao had no other intention. He just wanted his people to hold off the Shu army's attack in Ankang City for a while. , so that he can do what he thinks is a defense.
"City Lord, why haven't the Shu troops come yet? I can't wait any longer." A man in white sheepskin said to the middle-aged man next to him.
This middle-aged man is Harley, the lord of Ankang City in Huhaofeng.
"I don't know." Harley glanced at the middle-aged man next to him and ordered: "Tell the brothers, this time the first wave of Shu army troops only came to more than 10,000 people. We now have more than 8,000 people, and we have occupied With the favorable terrain, it is not difficult to eliminate more than 10,000 of them."
"Let brothers not be afraid."
"I understand, City Lord, what do these Shu troops have to be afraid of? Our more than fifty mortars will definitely make it impossible for them to come back."
"Our walls in Ankang City are very thick. It's nothing more than wishful thinking for them to break in. Later you tell the brothers that the Shu army must not be allowed to get close to the city walls. If they dare to come, I will kill them. As long as they can't get close to the city walls. We won't be in any danger!" Harley smiled and waved his hand.
"Hahaha, you are still the superior city lord. As long as we stay here and keep destroying their troops, we can win."
"That's right, this way I won't be limited to this little city lord, hahaha"
Harley laughed as she dreamed of getting promoted and getting rich.
"What if I were..." Harley was painting a piece of cake in an emotional voice to the people next to him when suddenly a soldier shouted.
"what is that?"
"Cannonball!"
"Get down!"
"Dong dong dong~"
"ah……"
"my leg……"
"Ah~"
The Shu army's twenty-odd howitzers fired indiscriminately, covering Ankang City with a burst of firepower.
"What's going on? What's going on!" Harley got up in the crowd and yelled.
Then he accidentally saw the follower who had been bombed beyond recognition.
He didn't take it seriously. He just wanted to escape from this fire coverage area.
"Quick, retreat to the city." Harley shouted.
"City Lord, it's not good, it's not good..." A soldier ran over with blood on his face.
"City Lord, the city gate, the city gate was blown open." The soldier wearing a tattered hat pointed and said anxiously.
