The artillery of the Shu army quickly launched a counterattack, but because the mountain artillery was reduced by half, it was difficult to suppress the opponent's artillery after it was strengthened.The shelling of the two sides lasted for half an hour, and finally the artillery of the Shu Army chose to retreat.Seeing that the shelling had achieved the expected effect, Sun Chuanfang immediately ordered the first regiment to attack.

Nearly two thousand infantrymen charged with rifles under the cover of machine guns and artillery.The Northern Territory Army launched a charge, and was soon discovered by the sentinels who remained on the ground.Under their warning, the soldiers of the Shu army in the artillery cave immediately rushed into the position and made all preparations for battle.

The machine guns of the Shu army rang out, and dense bullets fired at the charge of the Northern Army, effectively preventing their advance.However, the artillery of the Northern Territory Army was very sharp, blowing up several heavy machine gun positions one after another, and the soldiers of the Shu Army also suffered some losses.

The two sides launched a positional offensive and defensive battle. At this time, the special forces were somewhat unable to help.Xiao Jun, who was lying on the mountain, looked at the Northern Territory Army at the foot of the mountain with a telescope, thinking about what else he could do.Soon he saw a target of interest, the artillery position of the Northern Army.

On the artillery positions of the Northern Territory Army, there are now 32 mountain cannons from two artillery battalions. A lot has been added.

Xiao Jun frowned slightly looking at the artillery position, it was not enough to deal with these people coldly.If you use a cold gun to kill the artillery you are dealing with, you can still fire the artillery if you replace it with a person, and it is difficult to destroy the artillery if you use a mortar for a sneak attack. This is still a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

"Regimental Commander, or let's hit him with long cannon grenades." The gunner next to him suggested cautiously.This sentence reminded Xiao Jun that in the special warfare division, the choice of weapons is very random, basically as long as you use it conveniently, you can use it.Therefore, not only are the weapons in the hands of the cover observers divided into rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns, but the weapons of the gunners are also divided into three types: grenades, [-] mortars, and [-] mortars.

Among the three types of artillery, the 82mm [-] mortar has a special shell.Long artillery grenade is also called super-caliber long ammunition. It is a remedial measure designed by the scientific and technological personnel of the arsenal after discovering that the mortar is not powerful enough.

The long cannon grenade is divided into two parts, the long shell and the super-caliber grenade. The long shell is like an iron rod, except that it has a tail fin at the bottom and a detachable centering ring and centering wing at the middle end.

Chapter 528 Long Cannon Grenade

Ordinary long ammunition can be used as a blasting barrel, but its power is not strong enough, while the super-caliber grenade has a large amount of charge and a thicker cast iron shell, and it has the power that does not belong to the 150 82mm howitzer.The two are connected together by a screw, and they can be fired with a mortar with a caliber of [-] mm or more.

There are sufficient propellants with long bullets, which can launch super-caliber grenades to areas beyond 2000 meters.Although the range is shorter than ordinary mortar shells, the super explosive power makes up for the lack of range. It can be said that with the long artillery shells, the mountain infantry also has their own heavy artillery.

At this time, the second regiment of the Special Operations Division was equipped with 27 82mm mortars. After being reminded, Xiao Jun immediately gathered these mortars together.They sneaked to an area one and a half kilometers away from the opponent's artillery position and made all preparations for shelling.

The artillery in the northern region was fighting vigorously. This time Yuan Kai spent a lot of money on the attack. Not only did he equip Sun Chuanfang with two artillery battalions, but even the usually more expensive artillery shells were openly supplied.These artillerymen have never shot so readily before. At this time, the artillerymen who are addicted to shooting operate the artillery at the fastest speed, firing shells one by one into the positions of the Shu army.

These Northern Artillerymen who were fighting vigorously did not know that the god of death had approached them quietly. In the thick barrels of 27 82mm mortars, the few long artillery grenades carried by the special forces were placed.Long artillery grenades cannot use forced firing mode because the body is too long. They must be loaded into the barrel in advance, and then use the fire ring at the bottom of the mortar to pull.

Seeing that all the gunners were ready, Xiao Jun swung his arms down fiercely.A famous gunner quickly pulled the fire ring, and 27 long artillery grenades flew into the air with a faint tail flame, and flew towards the northern artillery position 500 meters away.

The artillery positions of the Northern Territory Army were built to a very standard, with an interval of 20 meters between each cannon. This was a measure to prevent the opponent from blowing up multiple cannons with one shell, and it was also a regulation in the Artillery Code.It's a pity that they are doomed to be unlucky today, and even the artillery drills can't save them.

With a charge of nearly five kilograms and an explosion radius of [-] meters, the long artillery grenade accurately flew towards the artillery position of the Northern Army as if it had eyes.As violent explosions sounded one after another, the northern artillerymen were blown into the air before they could understand what was going on.

"What happened?" Sun Chuanfang turned around in shock, looking at the artillery position that had been blown into a big hole.Just now he only felt the ground under his feet tremble continuously, as if he had experienced a magnitude [-] earthquake.In such a short period of time, the artillery position, which was intact just now, completely disappeared at this time, leaving only a large deep crater in front of everyone's eyes.

"What's going on here? Where did our artillery go?" Sun Chuanfang was a little crazy. Those were two artillery battalions, which were his greatest guarantee against the Shu army, and now there was no sign of them.

Sun Chuanfang roared on the spot with bloodshot eyes. He knew very well in his heart that without artillery cover, he would not be able to break through the solid defense line in front of him.At this moment, the rumbling sound in the sky suddenly sounded, and when all the soldiers of the Northern Territory Army raised their heads, they found a huge iron bird covering the sky.To be on the safe side, Zhao Shouhong deliberately transferred the first brigade of the first regiment of the air force to the front line of the plateau province.

After Sun Chuanfang launched the attack, the Air Force received the order to take off. They took off from the field airport outside Luonan City and just entered the battlefield at this time.Following the captain's order, the Feng-[-] reconnaissance planes lined up neatly lowered their altitude one by one, and dropped the bombs under the wings to the most densely populated place of the Northern Territory Army.

The explosion sounded again. This time, the Northern Territory Army had no distinction between the front line and the rear. All densely populated areas were given special attention, and the soldiers of the Northern Territory Army were blown up.Sun Chuanfang struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, his body was covered in dust mixed with blood, and he was extremely depressed.

Facing the unscrupulous killing from the sky, Sun Chuanfang felt a sense of powerlessness.If the day before, someone told him that the enemy would kill from the sky, he would have scoffed, but now the illusion has become reality.Sun Chuanfang knew that it was impossible for him to win. Facing the killing god from the sky, he had no power to resist at all.

The Second Mixed Brigade of the Northern Territory Army has fallen into chaos. At this time, even the most elite soldiers cannot withstand the continuous blows, not to mention the unknown fear from the sky.Sun Chuanfang tried his best to maintain the stability of the troops. He shouted loudly to let the chief officers at all levels take control of the troops and prepare to retreat.However, it is difficult for the chaotic northern army to gather in a short time, and Tian Songyao on the opposite side will not give him time to gather troops.

Without the suppression of the 76mm mountain artillery, the artillery of various calibers of the Shu Army has room to play.Soon, from the 76mm mountain artillery to the Type [-] grenadier, they fired one after another, and the intensive explosions made the Northern Territory Army even more confused.

Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the No.18 Mountain Infantry Division of the Shu Army held bayonet-mounted rifles and launched a countercharge against the Northern Territory Army.Those northern soldiers who had been dizzy by the bombing raised their hands and surrendered one after another. Seeing that nothing could be done, Sun Chuanfang had to flee wildly with the guards.

Because Sun Chuanfang was afraid of being attacked, he had already removed his officer mark.This made the special forces mistakenly think that this was just a group of unorganized routs without detailed investigation, and Sun Chuanfang escaped as a result.Sun Chuanfang was able to escape, but the second mixed brigade under his command was almost destroyed.Thousands of soldiers were killed in the melee, more than 5000 were captured, and less than [-] soldiers escaped across the mountains.

However, these escaped soldiers were not safe, facing the endless mountains and endless beasts in the forest.Most of these soldiers who threw away their weapons and fled for their lives faced dangers such as unfamiliar roads and difficult directions. As for how many of them eventually fled back to Zhongnan, only God knows.

Sun Chuanfang was lucky. He finally returned to Luoyang City in Central South Province safely with dozens of soldiers.In order to escape guilt, he exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, especially emphasizing the strength of the opponent's aircraft.Among them is the fear of the plane killing from the air, and also the factor that he mistook the power of the long artillery grenade for the bombing of the plane.

When Yuan Kai learned that the Shu army had an aircraft unit that could drop bombs and easily destroy ground troops, he couldn't help shaking with fright.He couldn't believe it no matter what. In just a few years, Zhao Shouhong actually formed an army that could completely overwhelm the Northern Territory Army, including super weapons that the Northern Territory Army did not possess.

Chapter 529 Bai Lang's Doubt

It was precisely because of the experience of this battle that Yuan Kai began to pay attention to the construction of the air force.He quickly ordered his Gaul military adviser, Bai Suli, to return to China to negotiate the purchase of aircraft. At the same time, he appointed Cao Kun as the general office, and established the Beiyu government's own aviation school in Nanyuan, Beihua City, to train air force talents.

Nanyuan Aviation School, which should have been Hualan's first aviation school, was established in this way, but it can only rank second to Hualan today, because Yazhou Aviation School, which started classes a few years ago, has already entered On the right track, and continuously provide qualified pilots for the Shu army.

Bai Lang and his party finally met the famous Zhao Shouhong in Xi'an City.For Bai Lang, the leader of the rebel army, Zhao Shouhong did not despise them at all, and he immediately hosted a banquet for these people in the most luxurious restaurant in Xi'an.All the leaders of Bai Lang's army were invited, and Bai Lang and the others felt quite flattered by this.

During the meal, Bai Lang mentioned the treatment of his subordinates to Zhao Shouhong. "Captain Zhao, Bai Lang came to vote rashly this time, because he really had a last resort. I thought the world was as black as crows, but what I've seen and heard since I entered the province is that although the people are not considered rich, they are not oppressed. What I see Come out, Governor Zhao is a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people."

"I don't dare, I just try my best. Plateau Province has not been under my command for a long time, so I haven't started major construction yet. I will naturally take care of the people's lives. When the government's work is in full swing, I believe in the economic situation of Plateau Province. It will get better and better." Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

Bai Lang nodded and said: "I want to ask the governor, you are definitely a good official who loves the people, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment under your rule. But you can't stay in this position all the time, once you leave, how will you be the next one?" How can the governor treat the people like this?"

When Bai Lang asked this question, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but nodded secretly. He was definitely a thoughtful person, and he was able to think of such a far-reaching thing.Zhao Shouhong patiently explained to him: "I don't think I will resign in a short time, but I have also started to make arrangements for the funeral. Now, with Zhongchuan as the pilot, the following villages and townships have begun to implement the electoral system. All township and village heads are elected by the people, while officials at all levels are nominated by the township or village heads, and confirmed by the people's vote. The term of these officials is only three years, and then they have to be re-elected."

Bai Lang nodded again and again, and Zhao Shouhong continued: "Of course, this is just a pilot project. We need to start the experiment from the lower levels, not only to improve the system, but also to allow the people to have a process of adapting to democratic elections. This way In order to stay in office, the elected officials must desperately develop the local area and benefit the local people, which basically eliminates the possibility of corruption. Otherwise, after he is elected, the next official has the right to pursue through the court responsibility."

"Besides, the higher-level authorities are also supervisory agencies to prevent officials below from only focusing on immediate interests. If officials sacrifice the long-term interests of the nation or the people for the sake of face-saving and popular support, the supervisory agencies will also severely punish them." Zhao Shouhong added.

"Sounds really good. It seems that Governor Zhao is sincerely working hard for the prosperity of the country. Bai Lang is willing to join the Shu army and fight to protect the happy life of the people." After hearing these words, Bai Lang really admired Zhao Shouhong.If it was said that Bai Lang's defection was out of helplessness before, and he was shocked after seeing the strength of the Shu army in Lingkou, but now he sincerely hopes to defend this hard-won good governance.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Bai Lang, then looked at the several Bai Lang army leaders around him, shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys are used to being wild, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to the life in the barracks. I have a better way out, I don't know Would you like to go?"

"Of course I do. I'll listen to the governor's instruction." Bai Lang understood that the current Zhao Shouhong would never harm him.

Zhao Shouhong did not directly say the better way out, but asked: "A country must not only be able to treat the people well, but also have a long-term strategic vision. It is said that people have short-term worries without long-term considerations. Today's world structure is no longer our own. This is the era when you can live in peace and stability. With the increasingly close connection between countries, conflicts of interests are inevitable. If you don’t eat people, you will be eaten by others. This kind of jungle law is the communication between countries. Way."

Bai Lang was taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "This kind of thing doesn't seem to be something we should think about, I've never thought about it that way before."

Zhao Shouhong said: "The rise and fall of a country is related to the life and death of all the people. A country must not only strive to build itself, but also strive for a larger living space for its own nation. This is the driving force for countries to invade other countries. Although the current Hualan is not strong, it must not lag behind others, otherwise we may miss the opportunity."

"Doctor Zhao intends to fight abroad?" As soon as Bai Lang said this, the leaders next to him all gasped.Since the Opium War, Hualan has been bullied by foreign powers.It is not enough to resist foreign enemies in every war. When has he heard of expanding the territory? Zhao Shouhong's words seem to be a bit exaggerated.

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "You're right, but now Hualan's national power is weak, and it's not strong enough to blatantly expand abroad like the great powers, so we have to use some secret means."

"Doctor Zhao means that this secret method will use us?" Bai Lang immediately asked back, and Zhao Shouhong couldn't help admiring again. Talking to a smart person saves effort, and it's easy to understand.

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "Now Rakshasa's attention is on the Western Continent, and their relationship with the Teutonic Kingdom is tense. According to my estimation, they will fall into a protracted war in less than two years. It is the best time to take back lost ground and seize the opportunity to erode its territory."

Who in Hualan doesn't hate Raksha to the bone, he swallowed up the northern territory of the country, and caused massacres in Jiangdong 64 villages and Aihui one after another, he can be called the biggest enemy of the Chinese people.If this were not the case, there would not have been so many Hualan people helping the Wa people during the Japanese War.

Today, Zhao Shouhong actually said that he wanted to seize the opportunity to regain lost ground and attack Luocha. How could this not cheer up Bai Lang, who was concerned about the country and the people. "What does the governor mean to let us be the vanguard in fighting Rakshasa?" Bai Lang said excitedly.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "I hope that you will go to the army training class in Yili, northern Xinjiang, and train there for a few months. I will help you replenish your weapons. You will form a mercenary group and become a civilian invasion of the Central Continent. The advance force of the region. You must secretly attack the Rakshasa forces and slowly squeeze them out of this region."

Chapter 5 Thirty: Military Expansion and Deterrence

"Captain, what is a mercenary regiment?" Bai Lang didn't know much about this relatively western term.

Zhao Shouhong explained: "You can understand him as a swordsman from Plateau Province, but the state hired you not as bodyguards, but to invade Rakshasa, just like they used Cossack cavalry back then."

"I understand. Bai Lang will definitely help the country regain its lost ground. From now on, we will be called the White Wolf Mercenary Group." Excited, Bai Lang named the mercenary group with his own nickname, White Wolf.

Zhao Shouhong's vision is definitely good. Bai Lang's quick mind is the most suitable for such a position, and his record afterward also proves this point.After sending Bai Lang away, Zhao Shouhong still had one important matter to do, which was related to domestic peace. He had to be the first to deter the Northern Region government.

After the Battle of Lingkou Town, the Northern Territory Army finally knew the true combat power of the Shu Army, and many Northern Territory generals began to consider how to deal with the pressure from the western region.In order to further deter the Northern Territory government and prevent them from thinking about acting rashly, Zhao Shouhong quickly announced the news of the expansion of the Great Shu People's Army.
