Chapter 1444 Head-to-head confrontation
Human beings have created many miracles, but the most spectacular must be war.

The confrontation of armies, bloody battles, decide the ownership of the world, and non-true heroes cannot be controlled.

Accompanying Zhang Yan to stand on the top of the city of Dai County, the three of Zhang Yong looked around curiously with binoculars awkwardly.

This kind of sharp weapon that can see far away allows them to understand how powerful the National Defense Forces are.

But the three of them were full of worries about the situation on the battlefield.

"My lord, our army is small, and they are all infantry. If we line up on the plain, I am afraid that we will use our own weaknesses to fight against the enemy's strengths!"

In the eyes of Zhang Yong and the others, the contrast between the National Defense Army and the Qing Army is too stark.

The strength of the national defense army is far inferior to that of the Qing army, and there are only a few flags.

The National Defense Forces just set up square formations one after another on the plain. Although they were well-proportioned, they seemed too thin.

Zhang Yan understood what they were worried about.

"Don't worry, our army has its own tactics, and we will never let the Qing army please it."

He thought of something again, and told Zhang Yong and the others: "At the moment, I am in the army, so you can call me by my position. When I stay outside, I will call it a title."

The three of Zhang Yong were taken aback, and quickly responded.

It never occurred to me that there are such strict rules in the National Defense Forces.

However, in the army, it is only commensurate with the position, but it is also appropriate.

After all, the king of the county is just a title, and he may not have a high position in the army.Could it be that at that time, the title will be higher than the position?
While chatting on the walls, the battle began.

Duoduo knew that there was no retreat now, and if they did not defeat the National Defense Forces in front of them, they would all die here.

Therefore, he issued a strict order that even if the National Defense Forces in front of him were fiercely fired, all ministries were only allowed to advance and not to retreat.

The sound of the attack horn sounded throughout the wilderness, and the Qing army began to roll forward slowly.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan became a teacher.

"Look, the position of the Qing army is about five miles back than before. In this way, the distance for them to engage in battle has been greatly increased. This change will cause them huge losses."

Why did the Qing army set up formations farther away?

Of course, because the artillery of the Wehrmacht has too long a range.

If they still set up the formation in the way they used to, I'm afraid they will be hit by the artillery of the Wehrmacht before the formation is completed.

Withdrawal is an inevitable choice.

But on the battlefield, the consequences of the increase in distance are also obvious.

At least when the Qing army starts to attack, this will be a severe test for their formation.

Especially in order to reduce the lethality of the National Defense Army's artillery fire, the Qing army also put in a relatively loose formation.

But in this way, the quality requirements for soldiers have undoubtedly increased a lot.

At the beginning, the formation of the Qing army seemed relatively rigorous, with clear lines and consistent steps, rolling forward, with the might of a strong army.

But after walking more than 1000 meters, it was obvious to the naked eye that the formation of the Qing army began to twist.

After walking another 1000 meters, the loose formation was already visible to the naked eye.

Of course, Shuo Sai, who was in charge of commanding the former army, saw this situation, but he couldn't tell.

The army has already launched an attack, and it is impossible to stop and regroup at this time.

If he dared to do this, the National Defense Forces might launch a surprise attack while the Qing army was in chaos.

Shuosai dare not bear that kind of consequences.

He could only ask the messengers to blow their horns, so that the soldiers could move a little slower, and try to keep the front as intact as possible.

On the Wehrmacht side, the 36th Regiment was at the forefront.

The entire regiment is arranged in a linear array in units of companies.

There are about 100 people in each company, and a front formed by five companies is enough to cover the entire battlefield.On the whole, the troops lined up at the forefront are only one battalion.

The rest of the troops are deployed in different directions, each with its own use.

In the center of the infantry phalanx, the artillery was already in place.

When the Qing army launched an offensive, four hot air balloons soared into the sky in Daixian County, causing the first wave of shock.

All the Qing soldiers looked at the hot air balloon in the sky in astonishment, feeling unstoppable fear in their hearts.

This kind of thing is too shocking for people in the current era.

Dodo also stood up from the horse, staring at the hot air balloon, his body trembling to a degree visible to the naked eye.

He picked up the binoculars and took a closer look.

When he saw that there was a living person in the hanging basket under the hot air balloon, he finally felt a little relieved, knowing that this thing was not some magical weapon.

But then his face became more and more ugly.

There is such a thing in the sky, and all his deployments can be seen at a glance, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of combat.

The general on the opposite side was also treacherous enough to wait until the Qing army began to attack before releasing the hot air balloon.

Otherwise, Doduo would not order the attack anyway if he saw the hot air balloon first.

Now the infantry array of the Qing army is less than 1000 meters away from the National Defense Forces. Even if they want to retreat, they have to worry about the National Defense Forces taking advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them.

And just when he was hesitating, the horn of the former army reached his ears.

Shuosai received no other orders, so he could only launch a strong attack according to the established plan.

Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers suddenly burst into a mournful howl, and their pace suddenly accelerated.

Behind them, the Qing army pushed up the few remaining artillery pieces and began to bombard the Wehrmacht positions.

But just after firing a round of shells, the hot air balloon in the sky guided the artillery of the National Defense Forces.

In less than 1 minute, the Wehrmacht artillery counterattack arrived.

Twenty shells exploded one after another near the Qing army's artillery, destroying the artillery on the spot, and killing most of the gunners.

Compared with the Qing army, the National Defense Army has too many artillery.

After removing the anti-artillery part, hundreds of artillery pieces began to attack the Qing army's charge formation.

In the valley, the roar of the artillery reverberated endlessly, making people dizzy, heart beating faster, and standing unsteadily.

And these shells fell into the formation of the Qing army, and immediately turned into a god of death, harvesting lives frantically.

"Don't stop, hurry up!"

Shuosai ran on the front line, cheering up the soldiers frantically.

The airflow of the explosion swept around him from time to time, killing many of his soldiers.

But when it came time to fight for his life, Shuosai couldn't care less about anything.You can only lead by example and lead the soldiers to rush madly.

Seeing him so brave, Doduo was very relieved, and then observed to the left with a telescope.

Over there, Baiyintu is no different.He led his subordinates to and fro between the valleys and hills, approaching the 35th regiment with a large number of casualties.

As a result, there are only more than 36 people from the 5000th Regiment on the frontal battlefield.

"Tarn Qi, send out troops, keep up with Shuosai, we must disrupt the enemy's formation!"
