It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

"In the specific small battles,
The strong always win and the weak always lose, without exception!
The Overlord's 60,000 men were desperate and had no way to retreat.

This force is so terrifying that even if the Zhang Wang coalition had 400,000 troops, they would not be able to defeat it.

In a last-ditch battle, the military genius used 12,000 troops.
Defeating an enemy force of 200,000 is merely a replica of burning one's boats and sinking one's bridges.

In the Battle of Pengcheng, Overlord used the speed of his cavalry to the fullest extent.

Even though the coalition army was as high as 560,000, they were not united.

At the same time, the coalition forces were arrogant and lacked a sense of crisis.

After being suddenly attacked, they were completely thrown into disarray, so it was not surprising that they were defeated.

As for the Battle of Guandu, the Prime Minister destroyed all the enemy's food supplies through a secret route, so there was basically no need to fight later.

At the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Lang of Jiangdong knew that the northern army was not familiar with naval warfare, so he used his elite navy to launch a surprise attack and won a great victory.

Lu Yuan casually recounted classic battle examples in history in a concise and concise manner.
Everyone nodded,

Zhu Yingjun woke up as if from a dream and said:

"The chairman said 'concentrate superior forces,
'Defeat the enemy one by one', that should also mean this, right?"

"That's right! The strength of a force is relative.

When the enemy is stronger than us, we must try to make them split their forces again and again.
In this way, even if we face a powerful enemy, they will surely be defeated by us!"

Wang Laowu asked: "What if we meet foreign devils?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The ancient and modern Di Yang are all like this!"

The clock points to four in the morning.
The positions and outskirts of the Jiangnan Prefecture soldiers' garrison,

Three bright yellow flares rose straight up into the dark sky.

The commander of the Far East Army's Third Regiment, who had come forward to the headquarters of the First Battalion of the Third Regiment, shouted:

"fire!"

A series of "bang bang bang..." explosions followed.

There were dozens of "whoosh whoosh" sounds.

Flying across the night sky, across the blank areas between the two sides' defense positions,

"Boom boom boom..."

A huge cloud of fireworks immediately rose from the middle of the Jiangnan Prefecture's troops' position.
In order to implement the "central breakthrough" tactic, the Third Regiment concentrated all 18 mortars of the regiment.

A saturation coverage strike was carried out on the approximately 200-meter defense line in the middle section of the Jiangnan Prefecture position.

The two artillery companies had already calibrated their firing parameters during the day.

Therefore, this round of artillery fire was very accurate.

"Boom bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

"..."

In about two minutes, each mortar fired ten shells.

This was equivalent to plowing the defense line of Jiangnan Prefecture three or four times.

Trenches, simple fortifications, machine gun bunkers... were all blown to ashes.

The commander of Jiangnan Prefecture, who was in the second line of defense, jumped out of his blanket.

Seeing the artillery fire and the flying dirt and broken limbs ahead, I was anxious...

The Far East Army did this obviously to launch a massive attack from the middle of its own defense line!
He left two hundred soldiers on the front line.
The intensity of the enemy's artillery fire was unprecedented.

As for the sixty or seventy people defending the middle section, it is estimated that only a few will survive...

According to the artillery tactics, after bombing the first-line positions, the bombing will inevitably extend to the second-line positions.
Doing so, on the one hand, is to block the enemy's reinforcements, and at the same time, free up space for our own assault troops.
You bunch of rebels, you have wishful thinking. I have been on guard against you for a long time!
He waved his pistol and shouted:
"Quick, send the first squadron to reinforce the middle section of the front-line position from both sides!
Tell them that they must stand up to me!"

Tonight, the third squadron, which has average combat power, remains to defend the position.

He sent up the main squadron.
We are preparing to give the rebel assault troops a taste of their power!

Five minutes later, two hundred soldiers from the first squadron of Jiangnan Prefecture stumbled to the middle of the front-line position.
On the battlefield, the smell of gunpowder, blood, and mud mixed together, making one want to vomit.

There were faint groans and screams, obviously from the wounded of the defending troops.
The captain of a squadron rushed to a trench and looked across the dark road with wide eyes.
"Team one left, team two right, team three rescue the wounded!"

"Kakaka!"

Three squads, two hundred soldiers, immediately followed orders.
There were figures everywhere on the battlefield.
The Third Commander of the Far East Army observed the situation through a telescope.
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, he shouted again:
"Keep firing, blow them up hard!"

"Boom bang bang..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The second round of artillery fire was still ten rounds per gun, all of which fell on the heads of the officers and soldiers of the first squadron.
This explosion was a heavy blow!

Seeing this scene, the commander of the front line, Qian Zong, was stunned.

Ahhh~~My first squadron!

A squadron of two hundred elite soldiers...finished!
It turns out that mortars can be used like this...

It's actually against the routine of "winning the battle but not repeating it"...

The bloody wound in his heart was pierced again in an instant.

Blood was gushing out, and it was about to be all gone...

After two rounds of surprise artillery attacks, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Far East Army fired a red flare.

One hundred meters away from the middle of Jiangnan Prefecture's defense line, the commander of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment, who was hiding there, shouted:
"Commando, charge! Kill the Jiangnan soldiers!"

The platoon leader of the first company of the second battalion was the first to stand up and rushed forward with a foreign rifle in hand.

Following closely behind were 30 soldiers from the Sharp Knife Platoon.
Like a pack of tigers, they blew up a violent hurricane in the night.
"Charge! Kill!"

On both wings of the spearhead platoon are the second and third platoons.

They all launched a tidal-like brave attack in the form of skirmish lines.
In less than a minute, the first company rushed to the position of Jiangnanzhou.
They jumped down from the trenches and sprayed bullets at the still confused and scattered enemy soldiers.

"Clap clap clap..."

At this time, the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 2nd Battalion also launched a charge.

Their mission is to open a breakthrough point.

Then sweep to the two wings to clear the threat for the follow-up troops.

Five minutes later, the first-line defense positions of Jiangnan Prefecture were completely shaken, and many defenders fled to the second-line positions.
The three leaders made a prompt decision.
"Prepare the cannon fodder, the enemy's second-line position, first battalion, attack, infantry and artillery coordination!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Jiangnan Prefecture's second-line position is behind the first-line position.
About 500 meters away, still within the mortar's range, the shooting parameters were also marked.
The commander of the Qian army defending the front line was jumping up and down to send reinforcements to the front line.
However, the sudden artillery fire frightened him and he immediately ran away.
A few dozen taels of silver a month, what's the point of playing with your life? !

His running made the second line of defense even more chaotic.
The Jiangnan Prefecture defenders were like headless flies, crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but to no avail.
Most of the soldiers were farm boys who came here to make a living, and many of them were new recruits who had been in the army for less than half a year.

I haven't experienced any decent wars in recent years.

The days were peaceful and quiet, but suddenly they encountered such a fierce battle scene, and many people were stunned.

There is a saying in the military: New soldiers are afraid of cannons, and old soldiers are afraid of guns.

The Far East Army had been patient before, and they didn't feel too scared when they fired two rounds.
But now the scene of artillery fire washing the ground is too horrible.

Seeing the tragic scene of my comrades being blown up and their miserable groans and cries,
Many recruits' psychological defenses collapsed.
They huddled in a corner, holding their heads in their hands, closing their eyes and screaming to escape reality...

The grass-roots officers in Jiangnan Prefecture were even worse off.
After the Qianzong escaped, they were completely unable to organize a decent defense.
Under the fierce attack of the Far East Army, the Jiangnan defenders threw away their weapons and were in immediate collapse.
Many veterans, seeing the situation was bad, either ran away or fell down and pretended to be dead.

Of course, there were also a few brave soldiers who took up swords and guns and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Far East Army.

However, these young people are too few in number, and they are not strong enough to make a difference.
They were soon divided and surrounded, and killed one by one.

From the time the flare was launched,

In the twelfth minute, all of Jiangnan Prefecture's frontline positions fell into the hands of the Third Regiment.

The second battalion commander was so excited about killing that he left a small number of troops to guard the prisoners.

He led the main force to rush ahead of the first battalion and rushed to the second line of defense in Jiangnan Prefecture.

At this time, the artillery fire of the three regiments,

Already on the enemy's second-line position, the flowers were blooming one after another. The third commander used a monocular telescope to observe the battle situation.

Watching the first and second battalions advance in unison and launch a joint assault,

"Haha, this second battalion commander is such a fierce guy!"

The regimental staff officer also had a telescope and smiled:
"I think the Jiangnan soldiers are too sparse. The battle will be over in less than half an hour!"

The head of the group put down the telescope and stroked the stubble on his chin.

"In fact, the Jiangnan soldiers are not weak among the soldiers of other states. It's mainly because we are too strong!"

The staff officer also put down his telescope and smiled:

"It's still the classic saying of the commander-in-chief: more sweat in training, less blood in battle!"

When the Third Regiment launched the surprise attack, the Fifth and Sixth Regiments were also busy.

The two armies fought together and attacked from the rear of the Jiangnan Prefecture camp.
A fierce attack was launched, cutting off the connection between the various Jiangnan troops at the first possible moment.

The formation of the Jiangnan Prefecture soldiers is a traditional five-element formation.
The front army has 3,000 men and two lines of defense.

There were fifteen thousand men on each wing, three thousand men in the center, and a thousand men in the rear camp for baggage.

Of course, these numbers are just paper data, and the actual strength is only 60% to 70%.

The 356th Regiment was fully staffed, with more than 2,000 auxiliary troops.
So, by half past four,

The fifth and sixth regiments had already broken through the two wings and surrounded the central army camp of Jiangnan Prefecture.

The mountains and plains were full of deserters from Jiangnan Prefecture.

The battle suddenly entered "garbage time".
An ultimatum was sent to the tent of the deputy general of Jiangnan Prefecture.

"The winner has been decided, yet even ants are still greedy for life!

By order of the Far East Army, you have one quarter of an hour to surrender.
Otherwise, we will bombard the camp and wipe you out!"

The deputy general of Jiangnan Prefecture was stunned.

He couldn't understand. There were only 2,000 people on the other side.

We had laid out layers of defense, but how come we were surrounded by the enemy in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that they are heavenly soldiers and generals?

However, all this is not a dream.
On both sides, the Far East Army fired guns and cannons like a forest, and our troops were defeated like a mountain...

Finally, at the last moment, the deputy general led the senior officers, waved the white flag, and surrendered.

According to preliminary statistics, the number of casualties of the Far East Army is

Probably only three or four hundred, no more than five hundred.

The 356th Regiment left behind the third line troops to guard the prisoners.

They drew out their elite forces and used transport teams to advance rapidly to the northwest.
We must form a siege on the Jiangbei Prefecture position before 5:30 and cooperate with the Fourth Regiment to encircle and annihilate the Jiangbei Prefecture troops.

The carriages are lined up, the horses are whistling, the officers and soldiers of the Far East have their guns and cannons on their waists,
The main force of 2,000 men, riding on chariots and horses,

The next 3,000 troops followed on foot.
After being sent to the main force, the transport team will return to pick them up and tie the "pocket" tightly.

I believe that this high-efficiency rhythm of rapid maneuvering and continuous combat is
The Jiangbei provincial government soldiers had no time to react and were doomed to be surrounded and annihilated by the Far East Army.

The news of the Jiangnan troops' demise was not spread immediately.

It's not that the deputy general of Jiangnan forgot to send a messenger to inform the friendly forces.

Instead, all the passages around their positions and camps were blocked by the special forces.

In the same way, before besieging the Jiangbei soldiers, the special forces also launched a "news blockade" against them.
These two battles were just appetizers. After finishing off the Jiangbei troops,

The 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Regiments will march south in large numbers to cooperate with the 1st and 2nd Regiments in besieging the troops of Liangjiang Prefecture.

Through the unremitting efforts of the Military Intelligence Department,

The deployment of the Liangjiang soldiers had already been made known to the Far East Army Command.
Twenty thousand troops, the first layer of encirclement, surrounded a group with five thousand people,
The remaining 15,000 people formed a larger encirclement and surrounded the Second Regiment.
According to the Far East General Staff's estimate,
Either tonight or tomorrow morning, Wu Ziyu, the chief commander of the Three States Allied Forces, will definitely launch a full-scale attack!

Therefore, the Far East Army is racing against time!

There were only about ten people left in the sharp platoon of the second battalion of the third regiment sitting on the truck. The others were either dead or injured.
The platoon leader and the first squad leader were killed in action, the deputy platoon leader and the second squad leader were seriously injured,
Now, the acting platoon leader of the spearhead platoon is the third squad leader Lu Yunlong.

Although the Far East Army had better training, equipment and morale than the Jiangnan Army,
However, the spearhead platoon that rushed to the front also suffered the most ferocious attacks.

Lu Yunlong is very young, he just turned eighteen this year.

He was a resident of Qira City, and his family was a small business owner.
In order to defend the city from the Red Fist Society's attack, he was forcibly conscripted into the city defense team by the captain of the city defense force.

He had attended primary school, been to the county seat, and had seen a fair bit of the world.

Therefore, he was appointed as a captain of ten men, which was the first time in his life that he was an "official".
The Red Fist Society launched an offensive at the South Gate, and the city defenses were on the verge of collapse.
He had no choice but to go forward and fight the Boxers face to face with swords.

Because the battle was too fierce.
The centurion and garrison commander above him died in battle one after another, but he was unexpectedly given the title of "garrison commander".

Maybe it was fate's favor, or maybe it was the cleverness of the merchant's son.

Anyway, he held on until the moment when the Boxers were completely annihilated.
When the city defense captain was rewarding people for their merits, he discovered that

This young soldier, Lu Yunlong, was quite talented in defense.
Damn!

Talent is the primary productive force...and fighting force!

Especially at this time, the city defense soldiers were greatly lacking.

So the captain recruited him into the city defense troops and made him a formal squad leader, in charge of ten new recruits.

In the traditional Tifa concept, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are the lowest class in society.

Lu Yunlong became the team leader.

That is to say, with the official establishment, the Lu family’s ancestral graves are finally smoking!

After annihilating the Boxers, Lu Yuan reorganized the Qila New Army.

The city defense soldiers are naturally the front-line combat troops.
Therefore, Lu Yunlong was promoted to platoon leader, in charge of thirty people.

Then we took down the county seat and reduced the Far East New Army.
After strict assessment, Lu Yunlong finally became the third squad leader of the sharp knife platoon of the sharp knife company of the second battalion of the third regiment.

Although he was demoted to a lower rank, he belonged to a relatively rare elite force and had more opportunities for promotion.

As a result, after the battle, he was promoted quickly.

However, Lu Yunlong understood that wealth and honor come at the cost of risk.

The spearhead platoon has good treatment and many opportunities, but the risks are also ten times higher than those of ordinary troops...

Getting promoted and getting rich is good, but you need to be lucky!
The battle against Jiangbei Prefecture soldiers is about to begin. How can we survive on the battlefield?

I was daydreaming when the company commander came over.
He took out a cigarette box with "Izu Dancing Girl" printed on it and handed me a cigarette.

"Thank you, company commander!"

Lu Yunlong quickly took it.
"Ding!"

The metallic kerosene lighter ignites the flame.
They lit up their cigarettes, took a puff, and slowly exhaled.

Inside the carriage, a strange fragrance filled the air amidst the rising smoke.

Things of the Izu devils,
Well done indeed,
Domestic cigarettes can't even catch up...

As the saying goes, if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either evil or bad...

The company commander was not familiar with his name yet: "Lu..."

"Lu Yunlong."

The company commander smiled and asked, "Xiao Lu, how do you feel about being the platoon leader of the sharp knife platoon?"

How is it?

What else could it be?

He answered hesitantly and vaguely: "It's OK..."

"Ha ha!"

The company commander continued to ask: "Are you afraid of death?"

afraid?
Still not afraid?

Looking at the captain's expression, Lu Yunlong's heart surged for a moment... (End of this chapter)
