"This semi-automatic rifle is so powerful, it can shoot continuously." Li Zongren stammered.

Zhou Jianping nodded: "That's true. It can fire ten rounds in a row without pulling the bolt, so the frequency of shooting will be much higher. With the firepower density of these semi-automatic rifles, we can safely remove the heavy machine guns. The marching speed of your troops will increase a lot.”

"Good stuff." Li Zongren sighed.

Zhou Jianping said: "With this kind of rifle, only one infantry squad is needed, which can suppress at least one company's troops on the opposite side. Although our West Army only has two regiments of reinforcements, it is enough to defeat Lu Laogui's elite troops."

"No problem, Old Ghost Lu is doomed this time." Li Zongren said with a smile.In fact, Lu Rongting still escaped. This cowardly, treacherous and cunning guy would not wait for the frontline troops to withdraw.After notifying Ma Ji to retreat, he immediately fled to the east. He wanted to return to Hezhou as soon as possible and wait for the good news from the southern troops.

It's a pity that Lu Rongting didn't know that the South Route Army also encountered stubborn resistance, and their situation seemed to be even more dangerous.Because the road by the sea was flat, the South Route Army advanced extremely fast. They marched straight down to the cities of Yulin at a rapid speed, and their soldiers pointed directly at Hepu County, the gateway to the North Sea.

At this time, the regular army and the garrison of Zhou Jianping's two battalions had just arrived in Hepu County. Unexpectedly, before they dispatched scouts, the South Road Brigade of the old Guangxi Army had already surrounded them.Seeing that the enemy army was huge and charging towards him again, the commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian had no choice but to order to defend on the spot.

Although the ranks of officers in the garrison were lower than those of the main force, Xu Xiangqian was a lieutenant colonel after all. Compared with the major and battalion commanders of the two main forces, his military rank was still one level higher.Among the soldiers in the West Special Army, there were only titles and no unit classification. The battalion commanders of the two main battalions would never discriminate against the garrison troops. They followed Xu Xiangqian's command very cooperatively.

At this time, although the later Marshal of the Republic was just 19 years old, he had already begun to show the demeanor of a general.Xu Xiangqian calmly arranged his troops in the mountains around Banyan Tree Top, Niuguhuangzhang and Wanghaizhang, and made all preparations for battle by taking advantage of the favorable terrain.

Regardless of whether it is a regular army or a garrison army, each soldier of the West Army is equipped with an engineering shovel made of stainless steel dipped in fire.This kind of engineering shovel is pointed and square, with sharp edges and edges, and the length of the handle is suitable for digging up soil, which saves effort.This engineer shovel is also a sharp weapon in hand-to-hand combat. In the trenches, it can use actions such as stabbing, chopping, and cutting to meet the enemy, and its power is far greater than that of a bayonet-mounted rifle.

Now using these sharp engineering shovels, more than 3000 West Army soldiers quickly dug out solid trench positions.When arranging troops, Xu Xiangqian was also very particular about his approach. A company was stationed on each of the three main peaks, and the distribution of troops ranging from one to a squad on the other small highlands.Although this kind of staffing seems to be scattered, it can give full play to the firepower advantage of the West Army, and support each other with crossfire between various high grounds, so that there is no dead corner for defense.In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Xu Xiangqian deployed all the garrison regiments to the positions, and left the two battalions of the main force behind as a reserve team, ready to be used for blocking operations at critical moments.

Because Xu Xiangqian stopped advancing and deploying positions early, this gave the West Army enough time to find favorable terrain and dig out a complete position.By the time Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming led [-] old Guangxi troops into the territory of Hepu County, the other party was already prepared.

The ignorant old Guangxi army buried their heads forward, and finally walked into the center of the Xite army's position.When the dense flow of ammunition intertwined, shooting and killing the unprepared soldiers of the old Gui army, those officers and soldiers who were still on the march knew that they had encountered an ambush.Having stepped into the ambush circle, it was too late to fight back. Many people were shot directly in a hurry, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the old Guangxi army retreated again and again, and quickly withdrew from the fire range of the West Army.

Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming were taken aback, and only then did they realize that the enemy troops in front of them were ready.However, they did not know the arrival of the West Special Army, but they mistakenly believed that the Xingui Army in Hepu County, in order to gain the initiative, went out to the mountainous area to block and prevent the county from being encircled.

According to the intelligence of the old Guangxi faction, there is only one battalion of the Xingui Army stationed in Hepu County. Such a small number of troops cannot stop the three divisions and [-] troops led by the two.The two who underestimated the enemy immediately decided to send three regiments to attack the three main positions, and they must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. The army will attack Hepu County as quickly as possible.

The two had a wishful thinking, thinking that they could invade Nanning before Lu Rongting, as long as they could succeed, their status in Western Guangdong Province would be greatly improved in the future.It's a pity that Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming seem to have overlooked an important point. The firepower shown by the enemy just now, even a division of the Xingui Army may not have it.

Due to the production of Type [-] semi-automatic rifles, only the main force of the West Special Army is gradually changing its equipment, and the garrison still uses the previous firepower configuration.Even the old-style firepower equipment has greatly surpassed other domestic warlords, especially the Guangxi warlords with poor economic conditions, and their firepower advantage is even more obvious.

When the soldiers of the old Guangxi army held the old old sleeves made in Hanyang and bowed their bodies to attack the top of the mountain, the machine guns from the front and left and right started firing almost simultaneously.Bullying the old Gui army artillery is rare, those heavy machine guns do not need to move the position at all, they are directly set up on the best positions in the field of shooting, and the West Army machine gunners are desperately shooting at the soldiers of the old Gui army.

The attack formation of the old Guangxi army was completely disrupted, and the surviving soldiers had to hide behind the rocks and shoot at the West Army on the position.However, after experiencing a series of foreign wars, the combat experience of the West Army is obviously not comparable to those who have only fought in civil wars.The combination of precise shooting level and full use of firepower advantages, coupled with grenade launchers and mortars attached to each level, gave the old Gui army hiding behind the rocks a little surprise from time to time, causing the opponents to retreat again and again.

The three main regiments of the old Guangxi army were defeated in less than half an hour, with a loss of more than 600 soldiers.Of course, these 600 people could not all be killed in battle, because the old Guangxi army retreated hastily, and those wounded were forced to stay in the forward position.

For Xu Xiangqian, Tian Songyao had conveyed Zhao Shouhong's detailed orders to him.The current principals in Western Guangdong Province have been replaced by graduates from the University of Mainland China. These people have a lot of affection for the Western Special Zone, which can be proved by the fact that the other party directly found the Special Zone when they asked for help.Therefore, the future warlords in Western Guangdong can be won by the special zone, and their combat missions must be reserved. As long as the opponent is not deadly, it is easy not to kill too many people.

Chapter 861 All-out Rescue

Zhou Jianping and Xu Xiangqian were equally resolute in carrying out this order. After the other party retreated back, some people were sent from each position to pull the wounded soldiers of the old Guangxi army over.The wounded soldiers of the old Guangxi army, who claimed to be mortal, were surprised to find that the enemy risked their lives to drag back the wounded soldiers who had been abandoned on the battlefield and have them bandaged by special personnel.

Those people spent a lot of money, and directly used Cochin Baiyao, which is difficult to buy outside the special zone. After all injuries were properly treated, soldiers with white belts on their arms would be carried off the position on a stretcher to the hospital behind for recuperation.In the previous army, let alone soldiers like them, even low-level officers rarely enjoyed such treatment.

An old Guangxi soldier with a leg injury watched the two men work tirelessly to lift him off the steep cliff, and couldn't help asking in a strong Nanning accent, "Brother, where are you from in western Guangdong?" The wounded soldier spoke Southwest Mandarin, which all Hualan people in the Southwest could understand.

What the wounded soldier didn't expect was that the man at the end of the stretcher spoke Southwest Mandarin, but with a strong Zhongchuan accent: "Brother, I'm not from Western Guangdong, I'm from Zhongshan City, Zhongchuan Province."

"Chongshan City, Zhongchuan Province?" Injured and sick: "Isn't that..."

The second half of his sentence was too shocked to speak, but the stretcher bearer nodded: "We are the West Special Army, and we are here to help the people overthrow Lu Rongting's cruel rule. We are only here to help the rebel army, but We are all Hualan people. If we have to fight a civil war, we must minimize our losses. Even if you are the enemy of the West Army, you are still Hualan people after all, so as long as we can do it, we will do our best to save every Hualan. the lives of the Orchids."

What the stretcher bearer said was a mobilization speech when the superior gave an order.Such a statement is a consistent belief within the West Army, so everyone can blurt it out.It was precisely these words that were quickly spread by word of mouth among the wounded soldiers of the old Guangxi army. After hearing this, many people were filled with tears and shame. They seemed to have figured it out. They had been fighting with Lu Rongting all along What a disgraceful thing civil war is.Many people have already made up their minds that after they recover from their injuries, even if they kneel in front of the hospital gate for three days and three nights, they will still serve in the West Army.

No matter what the wounded soldiers of the old Gui army thought, the battle still had to be fought. After the first round of confrontation, Xu Xiangqian clearly realized that his previous estimation seemed to be a bit off.There are not many people on their way. This is because according to intelligence analysis, Lu Rongting's main force is fighting in the Guigang area. There should be a small number of surveillance troops here, not to mention that Lu Rongting always sends people to guard the base.

The senior leaders of the West Special Army did not expect that Lu Rongting knew very well what a tragic end would be waiting for him if he failed to capture Nanning.Therefore, after the start of the war, Lu Rongting actually completely gave up the rear defense and devoted all his troops to the offensive.

The Great War broke out under such circumstances. The 4 troops of the old Guangxi army had an absolute superiority in numbers against the Xite army with less than [-] officers and soldiers in front of them. Even if a battalion of the Xingui army in Hepu County arrived after hearing , joined the battle against the old Guangxi army, and the situation did not improve much.But if Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming think that they can easily destroy the West Army's defense line with ten times more troops, they would be too naive.

Although Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming's old Gui army numbered in the hundreds of thousands, there were almost no heavy weapons.Western Guangdong was in dire straits. Among the [-] troops mobilized by Lu Rongting, it was very rare to be able to equip everyone with rifles. As for the large number of heavy weapons, it was beyond his ability.

It is precisely because of economic conditions that among the 4 troops of the three divisions, there are only less than 57 old Mark-style heavy machine guns, and in terms of artillery, there are only six old-style Krusen left over from the previous dynasty. [-]mm infantry guns, and thirteen pine guns.

Those infantry guns can still be used as suppressive firepower. As for the pine wood guns reinforced with iron hoops, they can only be used for show.Their range is only 400 meters, which is less than half of that of rifles, and their durability is also very problematic. Basically, only seven or eight shells are fired, and the entire gun body can be scrapped.Because there is no sight, it is not up to the gunner to decide where the iron ball shells fired by it with black powder can hit.

With such a broken weapon, there is still a considerable gap against even the West Special Army garrison belonging to the second-line army.Not to mention the six Hu-2 75mm caliber mountain guns belonging to the artillery company of the garrison regiment, even the Hu-1 57mm short-barreled infantry guns, 400-caliber and [-]-caliber mortars, and even Grenadiers with a range of more than [-] meters were not something the old Guangxi army could resist.Coupled with the configuration of a large number of Type [-] light and heavy machine guns, Type [-] rifles and Type [-] submachine guns, the old Gui army's road to charge was quite bumpy.

The artillery company of the regiment was responsible for suppressing the artillery of the old Guangxi army, so that they had no time to cover the assault team. At the same time, they also used mortars to name the machine gun positions of the opponent. The damage is real.

With the suppression of the artillery company directly under the garrison regiment, if the old Guangxi army wanted to charge, they could not count on the help of heavy weapons. Under such circumstances, charging became an almost impossible task.A unit that launches a charge is often greeted by short-barreled infantry guns and [-]-caliber mortars four kilometers away.After rushing through this heavy fire area, they will face a [-]-caliber mortar shooting area with denser shells, followed by a grenadier shooting area and a light and heavy machine gun shooting area.

Although the weapons have not been updated, the previously equipped weapon system has been able to achieve seamless connection of hierarchical firepower under the careful design of Zhao Shouhong.The ranges of various weapons are matched with each other, allowing the assault soldiers of the old Gui army to enjoy the full service. Such a shocking blow is enough to make the soldiers of the old Gui army regret being born in this world.

It's a pity that these old Guangxi soldiers have no medicine to regret, because they want to return to their starting positions and enjoy such full service treatment again.It is precisely because of such a baptism of firepower that it is always difficult for the old Gui army to take a step forward.

For three whole days of the war, the old Guangxi army suffered nearly 8000 casualties, but they were still unable to capture any high ground.This proves that with Zhao Shouhong's many years of hard work, the combat effectiveness of the West Special Army and various domestic warlords is no longer on the same level, and there is even a generation gap.

Chapter 862 Battle

Hepu County belongs to the Beihai border, it is close to the coastline, and it is connected to the port.It was because of the ammunition supply from the sea that Xu Xiangqian didn't need to worry about the lack of ammunition, so that such a strong firepower was always maintained, and Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming had no way to deal with the position in front of them.

The only thing that encouraged the two of them was that the opponent's number seemed to be too small, too small to consume too much of their own troops in each charge.They firmly believed that relying on their numerical superiority, they could capture these positions even if they suffered heavy losses. It was precisely because of this idea that the two did not issue a retreat order.If they knew what kind of situation they were about to face, they probably would have led the team to escape long ago.

On the fifth day of the war, Gao Zhihang's [-]th Division of the Air Force rushed to join the battle.After receiving a call from the headquarters, Xu Xiangqian asked the battalion of the New Gui Army to recruit local civilians and build a temporary airport outside Hepu City.

After a main battalion was stationed at the airport as a temporary garrison, the brigades of the [-]th Division of the Air Force arrived one after another.Fortunately, with the support of sea transportation, mechanics, replacement parts, oil tankers, logistics troops, meteorological troops, control tower dispatching and communication troops, and airport garrison troops arrived quickly, which ensured the rapid formation of the [-]th Air Force Division fighting power.

Under the leadership of Gao Zhihang, the [-]th Division of the Air Force launched high-intensity combat operations, which successively caused great trauma to the old Gui army.Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming felt everything that Lu Rongting felt more than ten days ago. Under the two-way strangulation from the open space, the old Gui army had lost the vigor to attack.

Just when Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming were about to issue an order to withdraw the troops to Wuzhou, in the distant sky to the south, a dull shelling sound different from other artillery suddenly sounded, just like the rolling thunder before the storm from far to near.

There was a sound as sharp as the whistling of a train, and nine huge shells instantly fell into the large barracks where the old Guangxi army was stationed.Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming, who were checking the area in the barracks, only felt a shaking under their feet, as if an earthquake of magnitude [-] had occurred.

Following the violent explosion and violent shock waves, nine large craters with a diameter of more than 40 meters appeared on the ground, and within a hundred meters around the big craters, there were no signs of life.The soldiers of the old Guangxi army were either torn into pieces, or they were so shocked that their seven orifices bled to death, and none of them survived.

Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming, who rushed out of the camp, looked at everything in front of them stupidly, not knowing what went wrong.The deep pit on the ground seems to be caused by the detonation of the artillery shell warehouse, but they know their own affairs. As early as the day before yesterday, all the artillery shells of the old Gui army had been fired and there were not many bullets left. Where are the ammunition left? Beaten in the warehouse.

The situation would have been serious had it not been for the explosion of ammunition, for it foreshadowed the use of oversized artillery by the enemy.In fact, Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming had a good idea. This sudden shelling came from the sea.

The battlecruiser Zhongchuan led its direct guard fleet, and after more than ten days of sailing secretly from the Dayangshan Port of Guanghai City, it finally arrived at the open sea in the Beihai area.The area where the old Gui army was stationed was [-] kilometers away from the sea. If you used the sighting system that comes with the warship, you would not be able to see so far away.Even if the [-]mm main gun on the battlecruiser Nakagawa has a range of more than [-] kilometers, it won't help if you can't see it.

Fortunately, in addition to its own optical sighting equipment, the battlecruiser Nakagawa also has four Suikaze 1 reconnaissance aircraft that can be ejected and taken off.These water reconnaissance aircraft can be operated by taking off from a catapult and landing on the sea.This pair of eyes that grew in the sky dealt the strongest blow to the old Gui army.

After two reconnaissance planes observing in the sky sent back the impact point by radio, the gunnery officers on the warship made fine-tuning of the muzzle. Five minutes later, the reloaded nine 5mm cannons roared again.This time, the bombardment landed closer to the main camp of the Old Gui Army, and two of them almost hit the same area. As a result, a huge crater nearly 60 meters wide appeared. Everyone within ten meters around the crater could not even find bones. arrive.

The soldiers of the old Guangxi army, whose morale had been seriously low, finally collapsed in the face of such apocalyptic fear.They no longer listened to the officer's yelling, and ran for their lives in random directions, regardless of the bullets thrown by the law enforcement team, because they were insignificant compared with the large-caliber artillery shells.

Chen Bingkun and Tan Haoming couldn't stop the army from fleeing, and in the end they had to join the ranks themselves.Hearing that the enemy army had begun to retreat, Xu Xiangqian, who stood firm, breathed a sigh of relief.After all, there were too many enemy troops, and they had held their positions for several days. The West Army was about to reach its limit, and now they couldn't even gather enough manpower to pursue them.

Just because Xu Xiangqian didn't pursue him doesn't mean that Gao Zhihang will sit idly by.After hearing that the old Guangxi army was fleeing, he immediately ordered all fighter jets to take off and fight.The fleeing enemies were too scattered to be suitable for bombs, so Gao Zhihang ordered the fighter jets not to carry bombs. In addition to being filled with machine gun bullets, each plane was equipped with two auxiliary fuel tanks at the wing roots of the belly. In this way, their voyage will be improved a lot.

With the help of the auxiliary fuel tank, the problem of the short legs of the fighter jets was alleviated, which allowed them to greatly increase the blanking time and kill more of the defeated soldiers of the old Gui army.The [-]th Division of the Air Force launched a large-scale pursuit in the air with a two-aircraft formation as a unit.

Although the old Guangxi army fled for more than an hour in advance, they could not run far because of the unique mountainous terrain in western Guangdong Province.When the air force plane was in the air, they didn't even escape the territory of Hepu County.When the broken soldiers on the ground loomed among the mountains and forests, the two-aircraft formations immediately launched a massacre.
