The end of the military era

Of course, your hard work will not be in vain, you should understand this truth. "

Peng Hongchao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Major General, as long as the food price doesn't rise, there will be no troubles in Jingsheng City."

Chapter 66 Jiguan Ridge

Jing Shengcheng changed its owner overnight, and this explosive news soon hit the headlines of the major newspapers in Fengwu Town and Zhenwei Town.

The Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao learned that the Zhou family had occupied Jingsheng City, and while shocked, he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

For such a big military operation, the Zhou family did not disclose any information to the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion in advance, and simply did not take him as the Fengwu Jiedu Envoy seriously.

Didn't your Zhou family say that there are too many recruits and there is no way to rush to the front line of Jingyang City?

In the end, he turned his head and robbed a city of the Zhenwei Army. Do you really think that the Jiedu Mansion can't do anything to your Zhou family?

But thinking of the huge fleet in the hands of the Zhou family, and Jingsheng City fell into the hands of the Zhou family, Shen Xiao could only suppress his anger, pinched his nose and sent a telegram of commendation to the Zhou family, and asked the Zhou family to stick to Jing Sheng city.

No matter what, capturing a city in Zhenwei Town at this time can be regarded as relieving some pressure on the front line of Jingyang City.

The Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion learned that Jingsheng City was seized by the Zhou family in Fengwu Town, and Zhenwei Jiedu envoy Xu Wanpeng dropped all the teapots that had been used for more than ten years.

Then Xu Wanpeng dispatched the Zhenwei Army Second Mixed Brigade that was going to participate in the attack on Jingyang City, and ordered the Zhenwei Army Second Mixed Brigade to immediately return to Jingsheng City by the same route, and take back Jingsheng City at all costs.

In addition, Xu Wanpeng also dispatched two infantry regiments from two cities closer to Jingsheng City, preparing to cooperate with the Zhenwei Army's second mixed brigade to counterattack Jingsheng City.

On the morning of August 1536, 8 in Tianyuan, three infantry regiments, one heavy cavalry battalion, one guard battalion from the Zhenwei Second Mixed Brigade, and four infantry regiments drawn by Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion from two other cities, It has already arrived at Jiguanling, about 11 kilometers east of Jingsheng City.

There are only two roads that can enter Jingsheng City from the land. The road of Jiguanling is relatively easy to walk, and it is also convenient for troops carrying luggage to pass, and Jiguanling is the first dangerous pass on this road.

Jiguanling is named for its peak shaped like a cockscomb. If you want to cross Jiguanling, you must pass through the winding road of Jiguanling.

The Zhenwei Army Second Mixed Brigade currently has about 5600 people, and the four infantry regiments add up to nearly 5000 people.

However, in the face of Zhenwei Army's tens of thousands of elite troops, Zhou Rui didn't care at all at this time, except because there were several dangers in the way, the most important thing was that Zhou Rui already had enough troops in his hands. artillery!

After taking over Jingsheng City, Zhou Rui immediately received a reminder from the lottery system, telling him that he had completed the hidden task of "monopolizing a city", and rewarding him with a Samsung lottery card and 30 points.

After using this Samsung lottery card, Zhou Rui won four rewards.

50 catties of gold bricks (2 pieces)

German 18 grenades (800 million pieces)

French 1897 Type 75 Field Gun (600)

75mm shells (120 million rounds)

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the 18 grenade is a grenade with a wooden handle used by Germany during World War I. This kind of grenade with a wooden handle has a long throwing distance and accurate throwing, and has great lethality.

The French 1897 Type 75 field gun has a caliber of 75 mm, a maximum range of 8550 meters, a maximum rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute, and a total gun weight of 1544 kg.

为了应对振威军的反攻，周睿冒着被人怀疑的风险，从抽奖系统中提取出来了10万颗18手榴弹、60门1897式75野战炮和8000发75毫米炮弹，分配给了守备旅第二步兵团和No.20二独立旅第二步兵团。

After testing, the explosive power of the 18 grenade far exceeds the wooden handle grenade imported by the Zhou family from several orc countries.

The performance of the 1897-type 75 field artillery is even better than the 65mm infantry artillery equipped by the two infantry regiments.

Even among the artillery of the same caliber in the world, none can be better than the 1897-type 75 field gun, especially the rate of fire of the 1897-type 75 field gun, which can be called a heaven-defying existence.

Counting the 2 gold bricks rewarded by this Samsung lottery card, more than 10 gold bricks have been reserved in the lottery system.

What made Zhou Rui feel emotional was that he was very excited when he saw the last three rewards, but why did he feel so calm when he saw the first reward of 2 gold bricks?

Are you inflated?

It seems a little bit!

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Under a heavy artillery fire, the Zhenwei army who attacked Jiguan Ridge had just climbed halfway up the mountain before being blown back.

Xu Lihai, the brigade commander of the Zhenwei Army's Second Mixed Brigade, put down the binoculars in his hand, and asked the officers around him bitterly: "Do you have any other good ideas for attacking Jiguanling?"

Li Zhikui, head of the First Infantry Regiment of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, sighed and said, "General, Jiguanling's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Fengwu army guarding Jiguanling has a large number of artillery and machine guns.

If the attack continues like this, even if Jiguan Ridge is taken down, our more than [-] people will almost be wiped out.

What's more, there are two dangerous passes behind Jiguan Ridge, Wild Boar Collar and Youye Valley. I think it is unrealistic to take back Jingsheng City only with our more than [-] people. "

Xu Lihai followed with a sigh, and then asked the four regiment leaders other than the second mixed brigade: "I don't know what the four mean?"

One of the regiment leaders named Wang Hongliang immediately said: "Our Wang family has a weak family. We lost nearly a hundred people in a single charge just now. Our Wang family can't fight such a battle."

The other three regiment leaders also complained one after another, and they were unwilling to send troops to attack Jiguanling again.

These four infantry regiments came from four families in two cities, and none of them was willing to sacrifice their own family's troops to help Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion take back Jingsheng City.

It's fine to fight with the wind, but the four infantry regiments don't want to fight this kind of tough battle with huge casualties.

What's more, Jingsheng City is a city directly under the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, so if you want to work hard, you have to go up to the second mixed brigade to do your best.

But the problem is that Xu Lihai doesn't want the second mixed brigade to suffer too many casualties.

Although Xu Lihai is the nephew of Xu Wanpeng, the envoy of Zhenwei Jiedu, and has won Xu Wanpeng's trust, but this trust is also based on Xu Wanpeng's ability to firmly control the Second Mixed Brigade.

If Xu Lihai sold out the second mixed brigade, even if Xu Wanpeng would not punish Xu Lihai for this matter, his trust in Xu Lihai would have to be greatly compromised in the future.

Without Xu Lihai of the Second Mixed Brigade, he is likely to be marginalized in Zhenwei Town.

Xu Lihai finally shook his head helplessly, "Send a telegram to the Jiedu Mansion!

Report the difficulties we are facing to the Jiedu Mansion, and let the Jiedu Mansion have an idea on what to do next. "

After Xu Lihai's telegram was sent, Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion quickly replied with a telegram.

Tell Xu Lihai that now the Zhenwei Army has launched another full-scale attack on Jingyang City, so it is temporarily impossible to send additional reinforcements to Xu Lihai.

Xu Lihai was asked to overcome difficulties and use the existing forces to take Jingshengcheng back as much as possible.

Li Zhikui, head of the First Infantry Regiment of the Second Mixed Brigade, looked at the contents of the telegram and asked Xu Lihai, "General, shall we still attack?"

Xu Lihai waved his hand, "Order all the troops to withdraw from Jiguan Ridge, return to the camp east of Jiguan Ridge, and wait for reinforcements from Jiedu Mansion!

The Zhou family's army in Ganyang has far more firepower than the ordinary Fengwu army, there is no need to risk the lives of the brothers in this barren mountain. "

After a pause, Xu Lihai said to several regiment and battalion commanders under him: "Calm down the emotions of the brothers. Even if Jingsheng City can't be taken back, I will find a way to get all the family members of the brothers out in the future."
