The offensive of the Fuso Army, after a period of silence, suddenly reached an unprecedented peak. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info an artillery squadron under the command of the Suzuki Wing, pushing all the artillery to the front of the position, concentrating firepower to pour ammunition on the Lu army. Grenades and shrapnel bombarded at a lower cost, and the characteristic whistling sound of conical bullets was incessant.

The opening, which had been deliberately set aside to invite the support troops, began to close, leaving no longer a gap. At the same time, the Black Vine United, which had not participated in the operation, also began to act and launched a pincer offensive outside Pingdu County. The two wings of Suzuki and Kuroto have a total strength of nearly 7,000 people. In the previous battles, the number of dead was more than 600, and the number of casualties was close to 1,000. With a huge force of more than 6,000 people, the situation is as straightforward as a knife to kill a chicken.

The initial progress was unusually smooth, and the defense system of the first line, in the face of the accurate fire of the Fuso artillery, quickly collapsed. Immediately the Fuso infantry began to launch a surprise attack, and immediately after, they stepped on the mines.

For a madman like Su Wenhu, what tricks are used, these Fusang troops are already strange. Laying mines on one's own position can only be regarded as a small trick, and it is good to get used to it. These Fusang soldiers gritted their teeth, and the momentum of their progress did not decrease in the slightest, and China was not the only country in the world with men, and the Fuso soldiers did not lack the will to sacrifice.

After dozens of loud bangs, the Fuso Army had broken through the front line and entered the residential and warehouse areas that had been tightly controlled by the Soviet Union. Since all the supplies in the city were controlled by him in this area, in the previous attack, Fusang did not dare to use large-scale artillery bombardment in order to save the supplies. Now that there is no such scruples, under the rain of shells, how long can the infantry without the support of special forces hold out?

As expected, the resistance of the Lu army was weak. Although bullets were fired in the room, there were very few people who fired them, and they did not pose a threat. A sergeant Fuso raised his leg and kicked open the door of a low house facing the street, and there was no movement in the room. The sergeant walked into the room with his pistol in hand, and found only one wounded soldier in it, bandaged, lying motionless on the ground. If it weren't for the heaving of his chest, he wouldn't have seen that this was a living person.

The sergeant, who knew Chinese, came up to the wounded soldier and pointed a pistol at his forehead: "Where is your commander?" ”

The wounded soldier muttered something, and the sergeant helplessly bowed down, but his fingers were in a firing state at any time, "Where is your commander?" ”

"In ...... Your uncle! ”

The sergeant crouched down and heard an unusual sound, hissing burning, and the smell of smoke...... Medicine line?

His mind was forever fixed on this moment, and in the next second, the mine detonator under the wounded soldier exploded, and the room was blown up into the sky. The bones of the two people in the room were gone.

Before the retreat of the Lu army, the materials were processed, a large number of warehouses were set on fire, and the attacking troops had to stop the pursuit and start fighting the fire. Although Suzuki's order was to abandon all supplies in order to catch the big fish matter. But at the executive level, it's a different story.

Everyone wants such a thing as war exploits, but those who get war merits and benefit are also big shots. For the soldiers and petty officers below, food, ammunition, and even banknotes, these things can belong to individuals, and the attraction is far greater than that of big fish. In particular, the army is struggling to replenish, and if you lose supplies, the days ahead will be difficult. So the soldiers began to put out the fire and urgently salvage supplies.

An arms depot of the Lu army was controlled by Fusang soldiers, and there were fierce battles for days, and the ammunition on the Fuso side was extremely depleted, such as leaving bullets in hand to the point of being overstretched. The warehouse is initially estimated to contain more than 2,000 hand-held ammunition. In addition to this, there are a large number of explosives that have not had time to be diverted and mines that have not had time to be laid.

Finally, we can make up for some of the losses. Shiina Shaoza, who was in charge of the attack, breathed a sigh of relief, since it was his own brigade that was responsible for the main attack, this batch of materials was naturally his own belongings. With these hand-held bullets, you will be able to kill fewer of your subordinates in the next attack. Whoever wants to take supplies out of his hands must first ask for his treasure sword.

He first ordered the blockade news, and then immediately mobilized a squadron of soldiers to protect the warehouse to carry supplies, due to the shortage of animal power, he could only bring all the livestock in the brigade headquarters first. The importance of these materials even exceeds the goal that Suzuki asked him to eliminate.

"My father taught me that a thousand birds are better in the forest than a bird in the hand. That kind of big guy is not something I can provoke. Maybe if he is captured alive, he will be released in a short time, and the loss of valuable troops and materials for this kind of person is a loss-making business. "Shiina, who was born into a merchant family, is more like a small trader who is calculating.

"As for killing him, it's not a good option. We can never figure out what those big guys think, in short, just don't get involved. Compared with the ethereal big fish, these hand-held bullets are the interests that can be caught in the hands. ”

The soldiers were already familiar with their commander's problems, and no one laughed at him, but hurried to move the boxes of bullets out of the box. Under the construction of Shiina, this unit has already practiced the skills of moving quickly, and the transfer of materials is carried out quickly.

Wordless handling, tense and orderly. Shiina, who was guarding the door, looked at the stacks of ammunition boxes that were getting higher and higher, like an old farmer looking at the barn after the harvest, with a smile on his face. Everyone was silent, the warehouse was quiet, and the sound of military boots, crates and clocks moving was very clear.

The sound of clocks moving?

Shiina stopped the two soldiers who were moving the box, "Wait a minute. Why is there an alarm clock in a box with bullets in my hand? I heard the sound of the clock moving. Damn the Lu army, did you put something else in the ammunition box? ”

He came to the explosives box, listened attentively, and suddenly pointed to a box that said, "Move the box on top of it, open it, I suspect it's more than just explosives......"

Of course, the box contained not only explosives, but also a gift specially brought by Zhao Guanhou, a congratulatory gift that killed hundreds of Yankees: regular fried eggs.

This weapon is still a new type of weapon that no one has ever seen before, and even the Yankees, after the shipwreck, when investigating the ship, believed that someone had launched a self-destructing attack and blew himself up in the boiler room behind the ship. No one expected that a device with a timed explosion would appear in the world.

Although Zhao Guanhou didn't know how to improve the weapons of this era to the height of his era, he could barely do it with a timed fried egg with poor workmanship. With the current technology, the timing can only be up to half an hour, and there is a certain possibility of failure, resulting in no sound of fried eggs. For him, this can only be regarded as a casual hand, dispensable.

Even Zhao Guanhou himself didn't expect what a brilliant result his fried eggs would cause. With a loud bang, the entire explosives warehouse and the surrounding facilities were razed to the ground. The Fuso Army suffered the most painful losses since entering Shandong, and a fully formed squadron instantly lost its combat effectiveness and had to withdraw from the battlefield to wait for reorganization, and the captain of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Suzuki Wing surrendered, and nine officers were killed.

Explosions rang out one after another after the Fuso Army entered the core area. Left behind were more than a hundred wounded soldiers who were too badly injured to move, knowing that even if they were carried out of the city, it would be difficult for them to reach the safety of the rear alive. After receiving the promise of a double bereavement pension from the handsome family, he voluntarily stayed and exchanged his life for his life. At this time, Zhao Guanhou led his personal guard battalion to move to the city gate to cut off Su Wenhu's troops.

The Fusang army was also wary of the Lu army's breakthrough, and began to block it outside the city, but the strength of the Lu army's offensive was far beyond the imagination of the Fusang army.

The small unit cooperated in the battle, which was originally the director of Fusang, but the performance of the Lu army was even better than that of the Fuso soldiers. Platoon shootouts, hand-held bullet battles, and white blades, the change of rhythm is very fast, and the Fuso soldiers are difficult to parry. At the same time, the two infantry battalions outside the city, which were in charge of receiving them, also began to attack, and their combat effectiveness was in no way inferior to that of the first battalion entering the city. The troops of the three battalions were concentrated in one point of assault, and the strength of the Fuso Army was not inferior to its own opponent in combat skills, and the encirclement naturally could not be maintained.

The bayonets like a wall stabbed through the blockade of Fusang, and Zhao Guanhou's saber slashed, a Fusang army fell to the ground and died, and his mount hissed, and the horse team behind him had rushed up and trampled the Fusang military flag to pieces.

"Brothers, now let's retreat to Jimo, and then we will retreat to Weifang and Qingdao. After arriving in Qingdao, each person will be paid three months' salary, and the troops who defend Pingdu will receive special rewards. Therefore, give me a good life, and our reinforcements will come up as soon as they speak, and the Fuso people have no advantage to take advantage of this time. If he comes, we will withdraw, and if we use a wing to fight us, we will eat him! ”

Zhao Guanhou's words are not simply encouraging, in a sense, they are facts. Although Fusang has no concession in Shandong, its intelligence agency has been deployed in Shandong since the end of the Jin Dynasty, and it has a large number of useful chess pieces in its hands.

Even after the turmoil and the changes in the alliance, as well as the previous intelligence war in Shandong, which led to the loss of a large number of intelligence personnel, its hidden power should not be underestimated.

When Fuso was determined to activate all the chess pieces to cooperate with the Fusang Navy and Army, the impact was still very considerable. In Shandong, in a short period of time, there have been three security regiment commanders and two regular corps-level cadres who have led troops to rebel. There have also been several incidents of rebellion in the reserve armed forces such as police and fire brigades.

In the Jiaodong area, there are not a few officers with troops who have a wait-and-see attitude or preserve their strength, and even if all the members of Su Wenhu's department die in battle, they will not get reinforcements. But all this, with the arrival of Zhao Guanhou, changed in an instant.

The officer's wife, orderly, bodyguard, or even his cronies and subordinates became life-seekers in the blink of an eye. Overnight, the chief officer in the unit was replaced, and the other officers with the troops learned that so many people from the Shandong Customs Investigation Department had infiltrated the unit.

The prestige of these people may not be enough to control the troops, but when they shout the slogan "The commander is rushing to Pingdu, we must defend the commander", no one dares to say a word. This is no longer a matter of the power of the Social Investigation Bureau, but the prestige of Zhao Guanhou is high enough to make the grassroots soldiers willing to die for him.

Under the pretext that the enemy is strong, it can still be done without moving, but when the commander is desperate in Pingdu, let his soldiers not save the commander, whoever gives such an order will definitely be arrested and killed by his own soldiers. Therefore, whether he wanted to do it or not, when Zhao Guanhou arrived in Pingdu, the surrounding garrisons had actually moved.

Assemble urgently, arm, and dismantle. No matter how many troops are and what their combat strength is, thousands of troops can lose their commanders, and all their subordinates will fight hard, as long as the commander is safe, it is worth it. The appearance of Zhao Guanhou was like a magnet, attracting all the surrounding troops.

Shortly after Suzuki asked Kuroto for reinforcements, the Fuso rangers on guard around Pingdu had already sent urgent information. The nearby Lu army began to assemble towards Pingdu, and the patchwork force may be close to three regiments.

This is almost from Pingdu to Jimo, all the families of the Lu army. This also includes a large number of troops, and even a number of cantonment soldiers. There are basically no special forces, and if you compete with Suzuki United, the most optimistic result is a draw.

But what Suzuki has to think about now is whether the plan to catch big fish by himself can be realized with so many troops. Even if he eats these three regiments, his own losses will be great, and the kid of the black vine will also suffer heavy casualties. On the premise that you can't catch a big fish, is it worth such a loss?

"It's a nuisance." He complained: "Order the remnants of the Cone Brigade and the artillery squadron to go in the direction of the station, and prepare to destroy the team from Jinan." As for the others, come with me! When a big fish is caught in the net, it cannot be allowed to escape. If his reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to eat him again. Let those communist soldiers understand what despair is. Everyone, strike! ”

The Lu army, which had broken through the encirclement, did not reach safety, and the cavalry of the Black Vine Wing had already caught up and engaged the cavalry infantry of the Lu army. Both sides are in the tentative stage and have not played a real fire. Zhao Guanhou ordered, "All troops, advance to the railway, we will march along the railway, and soon, our reinforcements will arrive." ”

Su Wenhu reminded: "The station has been occupied by the Fusang Army. Our train ......"

"The station? It doesn't matter, when the train comes, they know what they're messing with. ”

The train roared, the plume of smoke rose, and with a loud roar, the train roared towards Pingdu. The Shiina Brigade, which had just lost its commander, was temporarily commanded by the squadron leader, and the troops formed a formation, preparing to use the corpse of the Lu army that had thrown themselves into the net to avenge the commander. Wing Commander Suzuki has given an order: whether they surrender or not, they will all be executed on the spot, and not a single Republic Army will be left.

The artillery of the artillery squadron has also been placed in the gun position, and the remaining shells, in the first wave of the offensive, will be shot out in one go. Let these soldiers from Jinan know that they are at least an era away from the Fuso Army.

As the whistle sounded, the Fuso soldier's hand clenched his gun, and the squadron leader, who temporarily acted as the officer, held the handle of the saber tightly: Your Excellency Shiina, your revenge will be avenged immediately!

The train entered the station, slowing slightly, and the flag of the artillery commander fell violently. Artillery roared, and firelight accompanied by explosions. But it was not the Fusang army that fired first, but the Lu army.

The cannon, which was carried by a train of carriages, exerted its power. This train is not a troop carrier, it is a weapon in itself. Another new weapon of the Lu army: the ironclad train, appeared on the battlefield for the first time. (To be continued.) )
