Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

Li Liejun saw that everyone had serious expressions, so he said: "Don't worry, we have 20,000 troops and the other side has only 10,000 troops. 20,000 versus 10,000, the advantage is on my side."

Everyone looked at each other and felt a little relieved.

Li Liejun snorted coldly and said again: "Our elite Yunnan Army has all undergone rigorous training, the same as the training courses of the Japanese NCO Academy, there is absolutely no problem with the quality of our soldiers.

Humph, we were planning to retake Guangxi in the first place. Since they came to us ahead of time, it actually saves us a lot of time.

Let this Jinma Town be their burial place.

It also gives our Second Army a good start.

Ready to fight

"Yes, Commander."

As Li Liejun's troops expanded their attack area, it stretched for one kilometer.

It looks imposing and the morale is high.

They all screamed with excitement.

Ding Wei, who was standing on the northern high ground, saw this scene through a telescope and was stunned for a moment. The opposite side, which had been lined up in an orderly manner, suddenly prepared for an attack.

Ding Wei realized that he had definitely been exposed.

But I didn't care. After all, it was difficult to hide among tens of thousands of people.

After all, this is not a mountainous area. The terrain on the north side is high, but there are no dense forests.

What Ding Wei didn't expect was that the other party dared to attack after discovering him.

"Captain Ding, what should we do?"

Ding Wei said: “Now the distance is two kilometers, unless we bombard it, it will be of no use.

Wait a moment, let the Second and Third Brigades go around.

Let Li Liejun in first, and then deal with him after the Second and Third Brigades reach the designated location.

The goal this time is to annihilate them completely, not to drive Li Liejun away."

"Yes, Commander."

"Don't use artillery, heavy machine guns, or mortars for now. Just use rifles to fight them. Otherwise, the firepower will be too strong and scare them."

"It's the commander"

As Li Liejun's troops slowly advanced, they finally stopped at about 300 meters.

The two sides got ready and started shooting at each other.

Relying on his own experience and listening to the gunfire from the opposite side, Li Liejun realized that the opposite side had neither heavy machine guns nor artillery.

This made him overjoyed.

"Come here, bring me ten mountain cannons, and fire them around first, to let the enemy know how powerful we are."

"Yes, Commander."

Ten minutes later, ten mountain cannons were pulled over by horse-drawn carriages.

Li Liejun pointed at the high ground opposite and said, "Bomb it!"

"Yes, Commander."

Ding Wei ordered his men to hide in the fortifications they had built.

I checked my watch and saw that the Second and Third Brigades still had twenty minutes to reach their designated location.

Thinking of this, Ding Wei said: "Pass the order down to focus on defense and don't leave the trenches."

"Yes, Commander."

boom! boom! boom!

The sporadic sound of artillery fire echoed throughout the entire position.

An average of ten shells in five minutes.

Most of them missed the target.

Seeing that the gunfire from the other side had weakened, Li Liejun said: "The first regiment will be the vanguard and start the attack."

"Yes, Commander."

A group of more than a thousand people, holding Hanyang rifles, spread out and attacked forward.

Ding Wei looked at the time and saw that there were still five minutes before the Second and Third Brigades could reach the designated location, so he said, "Let them in fifty meters."

"Yes"

As time passed, the gunfire from the northern heights became less and less, which made Li Liejun wonder if the other party had run away.

When the group reached 50 meters away, they were scared out of their wits when they saw a large number of enemies on the opposite high ground.

Ding Wei snorted coldly and said, "Fire! The artillery regiment fires."

496. You can learn to surrender easily

Following Ding Wei's order, more than 30 Maxim heavy machine guns suddenly removed their camouflage.

Da da da···

The sound of gunfire was like the death knell.

The Maxim heavy machine guns cross-fired, and dense bullets suddenly sprayed out.

In an instant, hundreds of people fell down.

The bullet was so powerful that it even went through the body and hit the person in front.

This sudden attack of heavy machine guns directly repelled the charging Yunnan Army.

Unfortunately, with a distance of less than a hundred meters, facing such a dense barrage of bullets, there was no time to escape.

A regiment of more than 1,500 people had half of them fall in just a few minutes.

Moreover, an entire regiment was composed of elite Yunnan troops.

Such horrific casualties had already frightened the Yunnan Army.

Even the other Yunnan troops stationed there were terrified.

Especially the timid new recruits, looking at the battlefield littered with corpses and the bloody bodies, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs and feet went weak.

Most of them were able-bodied men conscripted from rural areas. They were okay at doing some hard labor, but they had never seen such a bloody scene and they vomited out their overnight meals.

Many soldiers felt extremely regretful when they saw this.

He was so scared that he dropped the gun in his hand to the ground.

Da da da!

Even though everyone was running as fast as they could, how could their speed be faster than a bullet?

Many soldiers around Li Liejun were killed by this bullet.

Many recruits were so frightened that they stepped back and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Li Liejun immediately said, "Anyone who dares to escape will be punished by military law on the spot."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of shells fell from the sky and exploded in the Second Army.

Such dense artillery shells caused countless casualties in an instant.

The rumbling sound of the artillery was like thunder, which was much more terrifying than the sporadic sound of Li Liejun's artillery just now.

Not only that, dense artillery shells came one after another as if they were free.

Li Liejun's 20,000 men were blown to pieces.

Many bodies were badly mutilated, with limbs blown to pieces.

Some recruits were so frightened by this scene that they peed in their pants.

Li Liejun was so shocked that he was speechless. Who said that the other party didn't have heavy weapons?

Not only were there dense heavy machine guns, but there were also several times more artillery than him.

He deeply regretted underestimating the enemy at this moment.

"Fight back, shoot."

But at this time, the firepower of both sides was not at the same level at all.

Not only were the bullets dozens of times more dense than his, but the shells came in waves without pause.

Every minute and every second, a group of soldiers fall.

The enemy's bullets were so dense that they couldn't even raise their heads.

How can we fight this war? There are no trenches to hide. If we continue waiting, we will only wait for death.

I saw many new recruits running away and couldn't be called back.

Li Liejun also felt powerless. The newly recruited soldiers had not received any training and were worse than trash.

The key is that there are too many new recruits.

Because the enemy occupied the high ground, the heavy machine guns had a huge advantage.

This is another plain, and the area within 500 meters is within the strafing range. Facing the strafing of heavy machine guns, many people were shot and fell to the ground.

Li Liejun hid behind a carriage and ordered, "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

If we don't retreat, we will probably be mowed down by heavy machine guns.

When they heard the order to retreat, the soldiers ran away.

They were so shocked by the enemy's fierce firepower.

I've been beaten to a pulp for a long time.

The new recruits didn't care about anything else, they even dropped their guns and just wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Ding Wei ordered: "Let the cavalry charge and capture Li Liejun alive."

"Yes, Commander."

Accompanied by a loud horn.

The cavalry regiment began to reunite.

Thousands of cavalrymen moved together, and the earth began to tremble.

But the sound of horse hooves was even more frightening to the ears of the fleeing Yunnan Army.

Li Liejun understood that it would only take the cavalry half a minute to catch up with them at this distance of several hundred meters.

There's no way to escape.

Immediately said: "Heavy machine guns, counterattack quickly, kill their cavalry first"

Having said that, he immediately mounted his horse and prepared to escape.

However, the entire army is now in chaos and the troops have long been dispersed.

The order could not be conveyed at all, and everyone just ran away.

Seeing this, Li Liejun angrily said: "Retreat first!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

As the cavalry approached, the life-threatening shouts of killing followed.

Many people were beheaded by the cavalry.

Seeing this, Ding Wei ordered all the soldiers to charge with bayonets.

"Don't hold back if you encounter resistance, kill them immediately"

"Yes"

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"
