After Lin Ziran gave the order, the units of the Sixth Division outside the city also took action again.

The artillery units of the four companies suspended firing and began to carry more shells, and the artillery commander, Xu Jin, the battalion commander of the Second Artillery Battalion, looked at his busy artillery, a little helpless, and occasionally looked at the side of the First Artillery Corps, and even revealed dissatisfaction.

His artillery unit played very well, whether it was yesterday or today, his artillery unit successfully suppressed the opponent's artillery and provided sufficient artillery support for the infantry unit.

Of course, this kind of suppression cannot be said to completely knock out the opponent's artillery, and the opponent will more or less retain a certain amount of artillery counterattack power.

This is a very normal thing on the battlefield, although the artillery of these years has been very powerful, but it is still impossible to fully cover the battlefield, especially for the enemy with defensive fortifications, what can be done is only suppression.

Not to mention the artillery units of the Sixth Division, even if the artillery strength was so strong during World War I and World War II on the earth, it was absolutely impossible to comprehensively suppress the opponent and leave the opponent with no counterattack at all.

However, the opponent only had such a small counterattack force left, but it successfully repelled the two attacks of the First Infantry Corps.

You know, every time the first step is repulsed, it is still a few hundred meters away from the city wall.

During the battle, some of the artillery in the artillery unit under his command even took the initiative to advance to about 400 meters, which was closer than the distance from which many infantry units attacked.

In this battle, although the performance of his artillery unit was not very good, it was also decent, and it was definitely much better than the infantry.

However, the performance of the infantry unit was extremely poor, and it also made the operation of his artillery unit useless.

This is where he is helpless and even dissatisfied.

If they all fought like this, no matter how well his artillery unit played, it would be useless.

At the same time, Xu Zhongshu on the side of the First Infantry Corps also had a cold face.

The battle of the First Infantry Corps in the past two days almost made him lose face.

He Xu Zhongshu was also born in the infantry department of Luo'an Military Academy in his early years, and after Guang'an became independent, he continued to serve in the Guang'an Army with the old army, and the troops he led in the next two years were all elite troops in the Guang'an Army.

Although he was finally surrounded in Nan'an County and finally captured, it was also because he was surrounded by the absolute superiority of the enemy's forces.

And yet today.

The 6th Division launched an attack with an army of 5,000 against a city defended by only a thousand men!

Moreover, the other side did not have any systematic city fortifications, and many city walls had already been directly destroyed by artillery.

But even so, the first corps he led was repulsed in two successive attacks.

What's even infuriating is that they are repulsed within a few hundred meters.

Xu Zhongshu, who was riding on a horse, looked around at several of his subordinate officers, and finally said: "This time, no matter what, you have to rush forward, the division commander has already given this officer a death order, and he must take this damn Fengyan Town." Wait for whose troops to retreat without authorization and shake the battle line, don't blame the officer for being polite! ”

After that, he set his sights on Zhang Hanqiu, the deputy commander of the Eighth Infantry Battalion and the current new acting battalion commander: "The Eighth Infantry Battalion must not make the previous mistakes again, otherwise, you and I will be afraid that it will be difficult to be good!" ”

Only twenty-three years old, born as a scholar, Zhang Hanqiu, one of the first batch of students in the camp academy, said calmly: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, I know the severity of my humble duties, and I will personally supervise the battle in the future!" ”

Xu Zhongshu looked at this person's calm face, and nodded slightly, compared to the previous commander of the eighth battalion, Xu Zhongshu trusted this young man more.

It's not that this person is strong or anything, in Xu Zhongshu's opinion, these officers trained by the camp academy are all half-, including those who have just graduated and are still in the first officer training class during the internship period.

But it's important to have an ambition to make a difference.

As for the previous commander of the eighth battalion, I heard that the commander of the division was born in his own army, and his loyalty is enough, but his ability to lead the troops is too scummy.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Because that person is a bit of a scumbag, but he is the confidant of the teacher, and Xu Zhongshu is not good at appointing Xu Zhongshu with this kind of person.

Sure enough, in the two days of fighting, it was seen that the man's ability to lead the troops was too scummy, and he didn't know how to train the troops on weekdays, and he actually trained a group of soldiers who could only escape.

If it weren't for the fact that the 8th Infantry Battalion was defeated several times without a fight, how could the 1st Infantry Corps return from several attacks in vain.

Fortunately, the division commander reflected on it in time and directly replaced a battalion commander.

With someone like Zhang Hanqiu leading the Eighth Infantry Battalion, Xu Zhongshu can barely rest assured, but considering that the Eighth Infantry Battalion is already rotten to the bone, it is estimated that it will not be able to continue to serve as the main offensive task.

So this time, Xu Zhongshu only let the Eighth Infantry Battalion cover behind.

This battle has to rely on the 1st Infantry Battalion.

Although the combat effectiveness of the First Infantry Battalion is still a little worse in Xu Zhongshu's opinion, and the quality of the soldiers is not as strong as the soldiers he led in the Guang'an Army before, it is also the leading infantry battalion in the Sixth Division.

Although the backbone has been transferred for new units several times, it can barely retain its combat effectiveness and has a relatively strong recovery ability.

In this battle, we had to rely on the 1st Infantry Battalion.

After Xu Zhongshu finished his instructions, the 1st Infantry Battalion regrouped, and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment stepped forward.

This time, when the first step corps stepped forward, not only did Xu Zhongshu arrange the battle supervision troops by himself, but more importantly, the two cavalry companies in the back and Lin Ziran's personal army team were also under the leadership of Zhao Laoqi, directly eyeing the back.

The 2nd Mixed Regiment is also on one side, on the one hand, it is ready to enter the battle at any time to expand the results, and on the other hand, it also acts as a warlord.

Looking at the supervising troops behind him, Xu Zhongshu knew that this time he couldn't retreat without permission no matter what, otherwise, his life would be difficult to protect.

He has been following Lin Ziran for a long time, although he surrendered as a prisoner of war, he has also had a lot of contact with Lin Ziran.

He boasted that he still had a certain understanding of Lin Ziran.

This master of his own is a very pure feudal town, and it is also a feudal town with very big ambitions, and at the same time, a feudal town with extraordinary talents.

Such a feudal town is worth following, because only in such a feudal town can you break into a bigger career and reach the pinnacle of life.

But it was also difficult and dangerous to follow such a feudal town.
