Pingshi, the headquarters of the 77th Infantry Division of the New Army.
A fat-headed major general commander was sitting upright on a chair. Several soldiers below carried a large box and came to the major general commander and shouted, "Master, this is what we found today."
"How many?"
"A total of 37,000 yuan."
"Very good," the fat major general smiled and said with a trembling smile, "These days, I have collected more than 900,000 yuan, which can be regarded as making back the money I spent to buy this position of commander. Yes, that old man Zeng is so strict about it. If I hadn’t spent 800,000 to get through it, I wouldn’t have been able to transfer from the Mighty Army to this New Army series.”
"Master's seat."
The adjutant next to him asked doubtfully, "Isn't it good to have a mighty army? Isn't it good to visit the city gates in Kyoto, have a drink, and get the pay of a regular army?"
"You know nothing!"
The fat division commander spat on the adjutant, "Although the Mighty Army is 500,000 strong, look at how many of them are capable of fighting. Old man Zeng has already planned to lay off the Mighty Army. If he is still in it, just wait until it is disarmed and returned to the field. !”
"snort!"
The fat division commander was very dissatisfied with Zeng Tianle and snorted, "Thanks to the rapid expansion of the new army and lack of commanders, otherwise even if you spend money, you won't be able to get in. So, please give me a boost and expand the scope of the search. I still say the same thing, if you have a mouthful of meat from me, you will have a mouthful of soup from you."
"Thank you, Master..."
"Boom!"
Before the adjutant could show off his flattery, a sudden explosion interrupted him.
24 howitzers weighing 30 kilograms fell from the sky and quickly hit the barracks of the 77th Infantry Division. The violent explosion shook the ground, and the flames emanated from it reached more than ten meters.
"what happened?"
The obese division commander walked out of the division headquarters quickly with a big belly. He suddenly saw a sea of fire in front of him. The soldiers were engulfed by the fire and burned into infernos.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
The adjutant pointed at the sky, and everyone looked at the sky. They saw black shadows falling quickly. One of the howitzers accurately hit the division headquarters. A big explosion occurred in an instant, overturning the fat division commander's 210-pound body. land.
Next, in less than 3 minutes, 168 howitzers continuously hit the headquarters of the 77th Infantry Division. The soldiers were torn apart by the shrapnel erupted by the howitzers, and their screams were heartbreaking.
The entire 77th Infantry Division station has been reduced to a sea of fire. The power of 168 howitzers weighing 30 kilograms is astonishing. Its New Army division headquarters, barracks and other important targets have all been destroyed.
"Hahaha, okay."
The commander of the 12th Infantry Division under the 1st Army held a telescope and watched the New Army Division Headquarters reduced to a sea of flames. He immediately shouted to the adjutant, "Let the 121st Infantry Regiment completely clear out the surviving soldiers from the New Army 77th Infantry Division Headquarters. The commander has Order, surrender the gun and not kill."
"Yes, Commander."
Subsequently, the 121st Infantry Regiment quickly attacked and began to clear out the surviving soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division of the New Army.
The New Army soldiers stationed at the division headquarters have the strength of a regiment, but it is unknown how many of them can survive after being suppressed by the firepower of the heavy artillery regiment.
The commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment led the soldiers into the city. This is Yancheng under the jurisdiction of Pingshi City and the headquarters of the 77th Division. The city gate was not closed, so the commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment rushed in directly with the soldiers.
There was no trace of the common people in the city, and the commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment went straight to the place where black smoke billowed in the sky.
"Hit me!"
At the division headquarters, many New Army soldiers wearing light yellow uniforms escaped from the fire. Among them was a fat division commander. Five soldiers supported him, and they happened to meet the oncoming 121st Infantry Regiment.
"Da da da!"
The soldiers of the 121st Infantry Regiment quickly set up their heavy machine guns, launched an offensive formation, and began to shoot at the imperial court's new army.
"Kill, brothers!"
The commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment led his soldiers to charge, because at this time, the soldiers of the new imperial army were demoralized after experiencing artillery bombardment. Some soldiers had lost their weapons and just ran for their lives.
Therefore, a big charge at this time can end the battle.
"This is!"
The fat division commander finally managed to save his life. He watched thousands of soldiers in gray military uniforms rushing towards them. The soldiers around him fell one by one. He surrendered without thinking.
"I vote..."
"boom!"
Because the obese division commander was too big and wore a major general uniform, he was targeted by a precise shooter and shot in the head.
Seeing their division commander being headshot and his regiment commander being killed by artillery shells, the surviving soldiers were stunned. Some were resisting, some began to run for their lives, and some squatted on the ground with their heads in hand and surrendered, as if they were headless. The fly has lost the ability to fight back.
Under heavy machine gun fire, more than half of the resisting soldiers were killed.
The commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment led the soldiers to charge forward, using light machine guns to clear the way, grenades for fire support, and mortars from the rear. In less than a quarter of an hour, the resisting soldiers were wiped out.
"I surrender!"
Looking at the soldiers lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, the commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment shouted, "Hand your gun and we won't kill you."
"One battalion."
Then, the commander of the 121st Infantry Regiment shouted loudly, "Seal the city gate, the second battalion searches for New Army soldiers throughout the city, the third battalion cleans the battlefield, and the guard platoon follows me to clear the 77th Infantry Division headquarters."
"Yes, Captain."
In less than half an hour, the headquarters of the 77th Infantry Division was destroyed, followed by an infantry regiment of New Army soldiers.
At the frontline headquarters, Liao Yuanliang was about to send the 11th Infantry Division to encircle and suppress the troops of the two infantry divisions of the 89th Army stationed in various counties. The adjutant quickly came to the headquarters and shouted, "Deputy Commander, a big victory, the 12th Division has been killed. There are two divisions under the 89th Army, and there are also two infantry regiments."
"So fast?"
Liao Yuanliang couldn't hide his smile and said, "What are the casualties of our army?"
“There were no more than a hundred soldiers killed or injured,” the adjutant said with a smile. “According to the description of the commander of the 12th Division, the imperial court’s new army was almost in disarray after being hit by artillery fire. As soon as our infantry regiment charged and suppressed the fire, they were We were stunned. A total of 1,880 prisoners were captured, and a lot of supplies were seized, which are being counted."
"OK!"
Liao Yuanliang clapped his hands and applauded, "It seems that the new army of the imperial court has three, six or nine levels of combat strength. Not all soldiers are as powerful as what we saw in Shanglu."
At the headquarters, Su Yu also received news of the victory. He did not expect that such a great result could be achieved in less than an hour. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the guard force is much stronger than that of the new army. , both in terms of firepower and the combat literacy of soldiers.
"commander."
The Minister of Communications held a telegram and said, "Chief of General Staff Wang called and said that 30 veteran retired pilots hired by the Second Major from Tsarist Russia have arrived in Shanglu, and the Chief of General Staff has also started pilot training courses."
"Um."
Su Yu nodded and responded, "Just let the Chief of General Staff take charge."
