"Boom!!" Finally, a bomb-proof hole was unfortunately hit directly by a large-caliber gun, and a squad inside said so. The commander of the second company happened to see this tragic scene not far away from the thickened bunker, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Already.

"Damn Miao Renyi, you are my soldier!"

Half the squad of soldiers were bombarded by artillery before they even saw the enemy. No one could bear it. "What are these guys in the artillery camp doing? Why don't they fight back?"

The commander of the first company, Gu Tianfeng, also learned the bad news from the battlefield observers that half of the squadron of the second company was bombarded by a single artillery shell. While praying that such an unfortunate thing would not happen again, he secretly cursed the artillery battalion for not fighting back.

"Have you calculated it?" Xia Hai, the commander of the artillery battalion, also looked anxious. The enemy's artillery in front hit the position one after another, and the explosion sound was like an explosion in his heart, making him so anxious that he even threw his hat away.

Already.

"Battal Commander, not yet. Although the impact point of the artillery has been observed, the data on the observation balloon has not been transmitted yet." The two soldiers responsible for calculating the location of the enemy's artillery positions returned from studying in the United Kingdom. They were the first to study abroad at public expense that year.

The best of the two batches. But the situation at hand is indeed difficult.

Xia Hai was so anxious that he wanted to curse. The phone calls from the headquarters kept calling him to urge him. He was so anxious that he almost didn't tie himself to the cannon and launch it. After all, the militia was a new force and had not experienced any hard battles.

It was so uncomfortable to lie down in a cannon hole like this and be blasted by cannons one after another.

"Battal Commander, the observer has the results."

A piece of great news immediately made Xia Tian Hai put aside all the messy thoughts in his heart and shouted: "Hurry up and let me count. If you still can't hit by the end of the battle, I will take you to retire together."

Soon after, Zhang Shusheng finally heard the sound of cannons coming from behind, and the artillery battalion finally counterattacked.

"Reporting to the division commander, the artillery battalion has calculated the approximate position of the enemy's artillery and is conducting a tentative attack. The results are expected in a few rounds."

"Let Xia Tianhai hurry up, the enemy has already reached the mountain col!" The coordinates of the artillery attack at the mountain col have been determined. As long as the situation is critical, the artillery battalion's combat mission will immediately become firepower to cover the mountain col area. The number of twenty guns is still

A little less. If part of the artillery force had not been left behind and part of the artillery had not been sent to support the defense of Xuanwei's 2nd Brigade, the artillery force reserved by the militia would not have been so tight. However, fortunately, the militia still had a trump card, "Let the division's subordinates"

The mortar battalion is aiming at the mountain col and is ready for orders at any time!!"

The division-affiliated mortar battalion of the militia exists as a supplementary force to the division-affiliated artillery battalion. Transportation conditions in the southwest region are poor and logistical support is too difficult. This division-level mortar battalion has become a supplementary artillery force. As a division

Use heavy attributes and concentrated firepower.

The second brigade took away one company, and the remaining two mortar companies still had 24 mortars, which was completely enough to suppress the enemies on the front line of the mountain col who tried to rely on the mountain col to make a gradual advance.

"Quick, quick! Get on your positions and hit me hard!!"

At such a close distance, when the enemy appeared between the col and the ridge carrying a heavy machine gun, Gu Tianfeng gave the order to fire.

Almost at the same time, the enemy's heavy machine gun also began to roar.

"Da da da……"

At that moment, the distance of a few hundred meters was filled with crossfire from heavy machine guns on both sides. Miao Renyi's troops also launched an attack in battalion units, but they did not rush up in a swarm. Instead, they lay down on the mountain col and concentrated on shooting.

As a result, the most exciting part of the fight at the beginning was the raging heavy machine guns on both sides. At that moment, the infantry were suppressed in the mountain col or in the trenches.

About 20 heavy machine guns were concentrated in the direction of the mountain col. This crazy density of heavy firepower made it difficult for the soldiers in the trenches to raise their heads. A company of six heavy machine guns initially fired back, and then several light machine guns joined in. Seeing that the momentum was not right,

, the heavy machine gun fortresses in the two positions behind also began to fire.

For a time, Miao Renyi's concentrated use of heavy machine guns seemed to have stoked a hornet's nest. More than 30 heavy machine gun bunkers and some front-mounted light machine guns all opened fire on the entire regiment position.

For a while, the entire battlefield was filled with the roaring sound of heavy machine guns and the rattling of heavy machine guns. From time to time, Miao Renyi soldiers concentrated on the mountain col, and from time to time, they silenced the unlucky light machine gunners of the militia and the underground fortresses.

.

The commander of the militia did not expect that he would encounter a perverted person like Miao Renyi who would concentrate the heavy firepower of a division to attack. However, Miao Renyi did not expect that the heavy firepower of one regiment could suppress all his heavy firepower.

.

"Wei Yuanlun, give me all your light and heavy machine guns!"

Facing this popular man in front of Tang Jiyao, Wei Yuanlun was filled with hatred. However, under the coercion of this murderous king, he, who was also a division commander, could only order all light and heavy machine guns to be sent to the front line. Who would let him live without him?

He was so cruel that he actually dared to shoot Gu Pinzhen in Kunming.

"I took aim at all the snipers in each class and hit them hard."

Almost at the same time that the militia's mortars opened fire, the snipers of the first regiment also received orders to kill the enemy's heavy machine gunners.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The first to fire was the 60mm mortar belonging to the first regiment. This kind of regimental-level support firepower was placed in the trench. After the gun came out of the chamber, it seemed to just make a slight curve and hit the mountain col.

Miao Renyi Department.

"boom!"

A mortar accurately hit a heavy machine gun, blowing three Yunnan troops away, and the heavy machine gun was also blown apart.

Hou Xiaoshan's marksmanship is usually very accurate, and he also serves as the sniper in the squad. However, this kid is usually wild-minded and even takes off the sniper scope when he goes to the battlefield. In fact, with his marksmanship, he can shoot at this distance without a sniper scope.

The gun hit. But he still carefully mounted the sniper scope.

First, he used a small mirror to look at the situation on the opposite mountain col. There was a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun roaring. After observing the situation clearly, he loaded the gun with a clatter, stood up slightly, took aim, and fired! All in one go!

"boom!"

He retracted his head before he even had time to see the results of the battle. Although the enemy's heavy machine gunners were not as good as the textbook said, and could quickly detect and shoot him after the sniper fired, he still did not dare to violate the rules of combat.

It's better to be careful.

From the small mirror, he saw that the heavy machine gun on the opposite side had indeed turned off, but soon someone jumped on him, and the heavy machine gun roared again.

Soon, he changed positions and prepared to snipe this enemy again.

"Quick, hurry up! Fire the mortars quickly, any slower, I will kill you."

Miao Renyi's adjutant was responsible for commanding this battle. Although the battalion commanders in charge of the attack were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry the heavy machine guns supported by the 11th Division up the mountain col while urging the mortar crews to fire quickly.

"Boom!"

When the first mortar shot flew towards the militia position, casualties inevitably occurred. Two soldiers were hit by artillery fragments. One had a broken chest and a large piece of thigh was cut off.

"Quick, quick! The medical soldiers carry them down." The squad leader of the wounded soldier's squad quickly took out a hemostatic bag from the combat bag of the two men and pressed the wound. The quick-acting hemostatic agent inside was very effective.

Now that the bleeding has been initially stopped, better hemostatic drugs will be available for wounded soldiers to use later, a type of hemostatic drug called special hemostatic spray.

The Yunnan Army mortar that had just hit the position was hit by two mortars before it could move. It was extremely unlucky.

When Miao Renyi's adjutant saw that the two sides were actually locked in some kind of stalemate with heavy machine gun fire, and the artillery fire from both sides were also firing at each other, he thought it would be better if he didn't charge at this moment.

"The first regiment all pressed forward on me to attract the enemy's firepower. The second and third regiments attacked from the left, and the independent regiment and the 11th Division attacked from the right. We tried to rush up as quickly as possible and win the position."

He knew that with the heavy firepower of the Yunnan Army, he didn't know how long he could hold on. There were few heavy machine guns and artillery, and the only thing that had more was people. Therefore, he chose the same method as Wei Yuanlun, and at the appropriate time

, carried out a large-scale charge, but the direction of the charge this time was not the front, but the left and right wings of this nearly 1,000-meter attack line of fire.

If two divisions and ten thousand sixty-seven men could not take down the city gate defended by a mere militia group, they would become the object of ridicule of the entire Yunnan Army. He really couldn't think of any tricks the other side could use to stop him.

Tens of thousands of people pressed forward across the entire line.

Not to mention more than 10,000 people, even if more than 10,000 pigs rushed up, it would be an absolute shock.

"Report to the division commander, a large number of enemy troops have appeared on the left and right flanks, no less than two regiments in number!" the signal soldier shouted dryly.

Two regiments? Is the enemy pressing forward across the board again?

Zhang Shusheng quickly picked up his special telescope and walked to the observation post of the bunker. Sure enough, a large number of enemies appeared on both sides of the position. There were at least 5,000 people on one side, and more on the other side, at least one division of troops.

"Miao Renyi, this madman!"

Jiang Baili put down the telescope and said to Zhang Shusheng: "The Yunnan Army has always been used to charging hard in wars. Unexpectedly, this time it still relied on the strength of its numbers to rush over."

"If we had two divisions of men and horses instead, and faced a militia group that they both despised and knew nothing about, they would probably adopt this simplest method. Use all the heavy firepower to suppress us from the front.

Then use large troops to charge from both wings. If we can't stop it from any direction, we will be finished. If Miao Renyi is commanding, this beast is not too stupid."

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile.

The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. Originally, most people in the militia thought that Miao Renyi would not fight to the death with the militia. However, the guy who had just killed Gu Pinzhen in Kunming immediately gathered the 11th Division of the Yunnan Army to fight.

In fact, Miao Renyi did not recruit the 11th Division to help out because he was afraid of the militia, but wanted to take the opportunity to annex the 11th Division and expand his own strength. Tang Jiyao was also forced to do so, so he defeated this scum-like 11th Division by fighting bandits.

The commander threw it to him as a sign of appeasement for his great achievements. After all, Miao Renyi would be the Supervisor of Yunnan East Defense in the future, and these people were used to win him over.

As a result, unexpectedly, the men and horses of the two divisions all arrived in Xundian and started fighting with Zhang Shusheng's militia.

Zhang Shusheng also lamented that the melee wars between warlords during this period were quite distinctive. They were neither large-scale group battles like those in the West, nor offensive and defensive in the later Anti-Japanese War. Each warlord had some men and some guns, and they fought here and there.

Fight, if you win, grab it first, if you lose, just run away like a duck.

For example, the 11th Division and Miao Renyi's 7th Division in front of us may sound deceptive, but their combat methods are even ridiculously simple. If you tell them any offensive or defensive tactics, it won't work.

Because they can fight however they want.

Just like now, the opponent, relying on their large number of people, actually wants to rush over together! People who don't know what is going on may even think that they launched a general attack after fighting for a long time.

"Huo Dingguo's troops of the third regiment who were lurking out of the city were ordered to immediately march quickly to outflank the rear of the enemy's Seventh Division, eliminate the enemy's headquarters, and then cooperate to outflank the rest of the troops.

Order the second regiment of the first brigade to immediately ascend the city wall position and cooperate with the first regiment to mainly block the enemy on the left.

The first regiment of the second brigade was ordered to immediately leave the city and enter the position, mainly to cooperate with the right wing of the regiment to block the enemy.

Order the artillery battalion and mortar battalion to cover the enemy's heavy machine gun positions with firepower, and then support the operations on both wings."

After discussing with Jiang Baili and others, Zhang Shusheng immediately issued a general attack order. The second regiment of the first brigade and the first regiment of the second brigade in the city were all dispatched to stop the enemy. At first, they were afraid of scaring the enemy away, so they kept holding back.
