Boom!

The artillery fire of the heavy artillery regiment began to extend to the county, and no matter what kind of fortifications the Beiyang Army had built before, all of them were reduced to ruins under the terrifying artillery fire. The soldiers of the Beiyang Army who were hiding in the trenches were torn to pieces by shells.

"Grandma's! Heavy artillery is powerful! Zhang Chunya said excitedly.

"Yes! Very powerful, alas, the cost of such a heavy gun is too high, and the technical level is very demanding. At present, it is impossible for us to produce equipment in large quantities in the Northeast! Guo Wei said regretfully. If every brigade in the Northeast, no, every division has such a heavy artillery regiment, then the Northeast Army will definitely be invincible in the world.

"Yes! But you don't have to worry about the political commissar, these can't be achieved now, and they will definitely be realized in the future, if a year ago, who of us would have thought that we would lead tens of thousands of elite troops, well-armed and well-equipped, and sufficient logistical support. There is also a powerful fire support such as the heavy artillery regiment, which can be called a divine soldier. Therefore, as long as we follow the young marshal closely, everything in the future is possible. Zhang Chunya is full of hope for the future. And the source of this hope is the god in their hearts - Feng Yong, the young marshal of the Northeast.

"That's right. Lao Zhang, I heard that there is now a kind of chariot in the world that is full of iron armor has been put into the battlefield. And with quite good results. Tell me about it, right? "Guo Wei is only a political cadre, and he is inevitably a little insensitive to military affairs.

"Not bad. It's called a tank! It was the British who were the first to use it on the battlefield. Have you seen the tractors produced in our Northeast region? I heard that the tank was equipped with iron sheets on this kind of tractor, and then the artillery and heavy machine guns were loaded on it. In this way, the defense power is there, and the attack power is also there! "Although Zhang Chunya's identity is not low, the secret weapon produced by the Northeast military industry is extremely secretive. Of course, he didn't know that Tohoku had already produced its own tank, but it was still experimental.

"I don't know when we'll be able to equip that legendary weapon!" Guo Wei said with some yearning.

"Yes, I believe the young marshal, and this day will not be too far away!" For Feng Yong, Zhang Chunya has a blind worship.

Drip, drip!

The charge horn of the Northeast Army sounded. Most of the walls had been torn apart, and the soldiers at the top of the city had completely collapsed. Such a good opportunity not to charge is a fool!

Kill!

The earth-shattering shouts of killing drowned out the roar of heavy artillery. Countless soldiers in gray camouflage uniforms rushed into the county town through the gap in the city wall.

"Stop them!" A group of Beiyang soldiers rushed out from both sides and blocked the Northeast Army in the gap.

Blood flowed and stumps were all over the floor. At a narrow gap of several tens of meters, the soldiers of the two armies engaged in the most brutal collision. The guns were sufficient, and only the shiny bayonets were the eternal color.

"Kill—"

At the moment when the city was broken and people died, the Beiyang Army showed far more combat effectiveness than usual. The Northeast Army, of course, was not to be outdone. As the trump card of the Northeast Army, how could the Eighth Brigade show weakness in front of Beiyang, not to mention that the previous heavy artillery had greatly boosted the momentum of the Northeast Army.

"Raise the heavy machine gun regiment up!" Zhang Chunya looked at the entangled city wall and said.

Under the deterrence of the heavy artillery regiment, the military morale of the Beiyang Army must have been greatly affected, and it was the time when the Northeast Army took the county seat in one go. And the enemy's counterattack can only be the last resistance, if the northeast attack does not enter this time, the enemy's morale will slowly recover. When the time comes, it will be difficult to attack the city.

Heavy artillery regimental positions.

"Stop it all for Lao Tzu, you losers, do you know how much these shells are? Damn, I really don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. All give Lao Tzu a stop! Looking at the heavy artillerymen who were addicted, Deputy Regiment Commander Shi Jian scolded angrily.

"Regiment commander, let's move the position forward again and directly bombard the entire county. In this way, no matter how many people they have in the Beiyang Army, they can only turn to ashes under our artillery fire. The commander of the first battalion leaned over and said.

"You dog's pig brain, how many shells do you have to use to flatten such a large county. Besides, what if there are ordinary people in this county? Why has the Northeast Army been established for so long, and there has never been a massacre of civilians. Grandma's. Besides, our mission is only to blast down the city walls, not to compete with the infantry for credit. Leave the rest to the infantry. Shi Jian was unmoved. He is well aware of the situation of the heavy artillery regiment, they seem to have infinite scenery, but only when attacking the fortified position, if it is suddenly encountered in the field, the heavy artillery regiment can only become the target of the enemy. And most importantly, the mobility of the heavy artillery regiment was too weak. Otherwise, they would not have been able to rush to the battlefield in such a situation when the war has reached its point.

"Pass my orders, pack your things, and prepare to transfer positions!" Shi Jian said in a deep voice.

"Transfer? Captain, we're safe here! Look at this posture, the Beiyang Army is lost! The commander of the first battalion asked with a surprised face.

"At this time, our heavy artillery regiment is no longer needed. All we have to do is pack our bags and be ready for the next battle. Shi Jian said in a deep voice. He knows. At the moment of coming here, it was impossible for their heavy artillery regiment to stop. Especially after the results of this battle spread, the besieging troops everywhere may seek heavy artillery support.

"Let the Broadsword team go up and open the gap as soon as possible!" The vicinity of the city walls has become a scorching battlefield. The sword aura of the white-knuckle battle made the entire city wall barbaric and bloody. Although the combat effectiveness of Beiyang is not very good, it can't stand the large number of people, and the gap is not big, the Beiyang Army continues to go forward and succeed, and it can't be killed at all, and it is stunned to block the momentum of the Northeast Army. As time went on, the casualties of the Northeast Army also increased. In this case, Zhang Chunya must not send the elite in his hands. The Broadsword Brigade of the Eighth Brigade is a new team that has just been formed, with only 500 people, all of whom are stubborn men from the northwest. These Northwest men may not have good marksmanship, but their knife skills are definitely not weak. The lethality on the battlefield of cold weapons is very large.

Flutter flutter!

The sound of the big knife slashing through the neck hung over the hearts of the Beiyang Army like a magic spell.

Ahh

Roars rang out on the battlefield, and there were unbearable wails of fear from the soldiers. It's a pity that the endless stream of Beiyang soldiers behind him made it difficult for him to retreat.

Da - The heavy machine guns that arrived at the forefront finally began to exert their might, and the surging Beiyang Army was immediately defeated and retreated, and the Beiyang soldiers hated their parents for missing two legs, and no one wanted to be the target of the heavy machine guns.

"Rush!" The morale of the Northeast Army was greatly boosted and began to launch a final charge in the face of dense gunfire.

"The army presses up!" Once the city walls were attacked, the resistance morale of the Beiyang Army would inevitably collapse. The next step is to clean up the recalcitrant ones.

"Turn all the mortars up!" Zhang Chunya said coldly. If the fortified fortification is the world of large-caliber mountain artillery howitzers, then mortars are the big killers of street battles. Because basically no house can withstand the bombardment of slap breaking. In the face of a small, recalcitrant enemy, a few mortar shells can send them into the sky.

"Report to the brigade commander, the enemy has fled from the south gate!" Word came from the troops that stormed into the county.

"The whole army is in pursuit!" He didn't pay attention to Yucheng County, after all, with the assistance of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, there was no sense of accomplishment in capturing a small county like Yucheng, not to mention that the order issued by Jiang Baili this time was not to capture the city, but to weaken the power of Beiyang as much as possible. Therefore, catching up with the enemy and destroying or capturing them is Zhang Chunya's ultimate goal.

On the land of northwest Shandong, one after another the north of the county was broken by the Northeast Army. The Northeast Army advanced to the banks of the Yellow River at a terrifying speed, and after encircling the remnants of the Beiyang Army stranded on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Northeast Army and the Beiyang Army on the opposite side confronted each other across the river.

On the banks of the Yellow River, Jiang Baili and his entourage studied the next action.

"Let's report on the results of this time. The commander should have a general understanding of the strength of the enemy on the opposite side. "In the chaotic fighting of the past few days, all sides have gone crazy. Even Jiang Baili, as the commander of the army, didn't know how many battles had taken place in the past few days.

"Commander, our Eighth Brigade captured Yucheng County and chased Fu Liangzuo of the Beiyang Army like a rabbit for more than a hundred miles. Finally, the main force of Fu Liangzuo's department was surrounded by the Yellow River. Only Fu Liangzuo and more than 100 others were picked up by the ships on the other side! Fu Liangzuo's army of more than 30,000 people disappeared in just two days, leaving only him and hundreds of people around him to escape with their lives, which can be regarded as pitiful.

"Our brigade mainly attacked the Beiyang Army in the Liaocheng area, and in two days, it experienced several major battles, eliminated and captured about 20,000 Beiyang Army, and the rest of the defeated troops fled to the other side of the river." Another brigade of the Northeast Army said.

…… In the past two days, all units of the Northeast Army have been captured, and the total number of zeros and zeros has been added up, and nearly 70,000 people have been killed. It can be said that Duan Qirui's hard-assembled troops were wiped out by the Northeast at one time. Of course, the casualties in the Northeast itself are not small.

"It's a pity that we didn't catch Fu Liangzuo, otherwise our results would have been great!" Zhang Chunya, commander of the Eighth Brigade, said regretfully.

"That's it! You don't want to be cheap and sell well! You have the help of the heavy artillery regiment to get such a big bargain, 30,000 people, which is half of the entire battle. A brigade commander said sourly.

"Hehe......" Zhang Chunya just smirked, and his smug expression was obvious to everyone.

"Now that the enemy's strength has shrunk by half, it is time for us to crush the enemy in one fell swoop. Now that the ships on both sides of the Yellow River have been emptied of Beiyang, we must rebuild the ships. Ice floes on the surface of the Yellow River are also a big problem that must be solved. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.

"Commander, leave this to our engineer regiment! Although it is difficult to build a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, it is not difficult for our engineer regiment. Liao Zhongsheng, the head of the engineering regiment, said confidently. Liao Zhongsheng is a high-achieving military student studying in the United States, and he studied engineering at the Academy of American Affairs, so he has the confidence to say such things.

"Good! Commander Liao, you can dispatch all the resources in the army, and I ask you to build a pontoon bridge that can pass through heavy artillery in the shortest possible time. ”

After crossing the river, he must face Licheng, the largest fortified city in central Lu, for the first time, and there is no heavy artillery. The Northeast wants to break through. The cost is huge. Therefore, Jiang Baili had to bring the heavy artillery over.
