Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Outside Monkal City.

The Dongchuan Army has approached the outer positions of Monkal City and begun to build artillery positions and dig trenches.

Behind the Dongchuan Army's front line, in the temporary headquarters of the Dongchuan Army, Fan Shaozeng held up his binoculars and looked at the Hashimoto brigade's position two kilometers ahead.

At this time, Hashimoto's brigade, which had fled back to Monkal City earlier than the Dongchuan Army, had already entered the trenches. Begin to defend against the Dongchuan Army's attack.

"Damn it, the building outside Le Ge Meng Ka City is like an ant's nest. It's connected in all directions and it's hard to fight!" Fan Shaozeng looked at the Cherry Blossom Kingdom camp opposite and scratched his head worriedly.

"It's a bit difficult to fight. If you want to break through the outer positions, it seems that you can only use artillery." Liu Xiangnong on the side was also a little worried.

"It's better to spend some cannonballs than to use the lives of brothers." Fan Shaozeng finally put the telescope in his hand on the table beside him.

"By the way, have you asked Jiro Koizumi if there are any people from Yizhou Island in the city?"

"I've already asked. All of them are overseas residents of Sakura Country, and there are no foreigners." Liu Xiangnong said to Fan Shaozeng.

"Then what else is there to say? Order the artillery to blast me!" Fan Shaozeng heard Liu Xiangnong say that there were no civilians in the city, and it was all residents of Sakura Country, so he decisively ordered the artillery fire.

After receiving the order, the Dongchuan Army immediately began to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan and load the artillery shells.

"Boom boom~"

More than three hundred artillery pieces roared, and the shells slammed into the Sakura National Front outside Monkal City.

At this time, the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom had not yet experienced the Pacific Ocean. How had they seen such a large artillery attack?

At this time, the Sakura Kingdom's main opponent was either the Rakshasa Kingdom or the Daxia Army before the change.

The industrial strength of these two countries is not very strong. The Rakshasa Kingdom is recognized as the weakest power in the West, and its country is still semi-industrial and semi-serfdom. His status as a great power is entirely dependent on his huge army numbers.

Although the Rakshasa Kingdom has the largest army in the entire West, these people are poorly equipped.

The number of artillery pieces possessed by a division barely reached 200.

And Daxia's side is even worse.

Before the great sea battle, the number of artillery pieces in a Daxia division exceeded 100. However, many of these artillery guns are small-caliber guns below 75 mm.

Far less than the 192 artillery pieces owned by Sakura Country.

But now, the Sichuan Eastern Army alone has more than 300 artillery pieces, not counting the four VZ-14 heavy howitzers.

At this time, the Dongchuan Army far surpassed Sakura Kingdom's 192 artillery pieces in terms of artillery.

Of course, the 192 artillery pieces mentioned here refer to a complete Class A division in Sakura Country. As for the brigade, it only has more than 80 artillery pieces.

Moreover, considering the resources and industrial strength of Sakura Country, anything above 75 mm is considered a heavy artillery.

Therefore, at this time, facing more than 300 75mm Schneider artillery pieces, the two thousand Hashimoto brigade soldiers stationed outside Monkal City were blown away.

"Baga, how come Daxia people have so many heavy artillery? Did they concentrate all Daxia's artillery on Yizhou Island?" Yamashita, one of the two Sakura National Alliance teams stationed outside Monkal City Captain Matsunosuke Yamashita shook the dirt from his body and cursed loudly.

He raised his head and looked at the Dongchuan Army position two kilometers away. For the first time, a trace of panic appeared on his face.

He never thought that Daxia, who he had always considered weak, could actually come up with such artillery.

The Dongchuan Army, which had sufficient ammunition, did not hesitate to consume ammunition at all, and directly covered the entire outer position of Monkal City with firepower.

This bombardment lasted for a full hour. During this period, the Sakura State artillery in Monkal City remained silent.

When Wang Hongchang and the others bombarded Yizhou Island, they destroyed the ammunition depot of the Sakura Kingdom. This caused the two brigades of the Sakura Kingdom on Yizhou Island to start to lack artillery shells.

In addition, the number of artillery on his side was not dominant, so Hashimoto Hirokawa could only order that the artillery in the city should only be allowed to bombard at the most critical time.

At this time, the Dongchuan Army, which had been shelling for a full hour, began to prepare for a ground attack.

The officers of the Dongchuan Army left the trenches one after another, blowing whistles and organizing the soldiers to advance slowly.

At this time, the artillery that originally attacked the outer perimeter began to extend and began shelling in the direction of the city gate.

When the soldiers of the Dongchuan Army approached the first line of defense on the periphery, the artillery in Monkal City began to bombard the Dongchuan Army.

The Sakura Country soldiers in the trenches also raised their guns and aimed at the attacking Dongchuan Army.

Suddenly, some Dongchuan Army soldiers were shot to the bottom one by one.

Seeing that the Sakura Nation soldiers in Monkal City began to fire artillery, the Dongchuan Army detached some artillery and launched a bombardment with the Sakura Nation artillery.

A large number of artillery shells passed through the sky above the middle battlefield and fell into the opponent's position.

"Charge over! Charge over!" The officer of the Dongchuan Army ordered the soldiers to speed up through the dangerous zone as soon as they opened fire in Sakura Country.

As long as their side can rush into the trenches of Sakura Country, the officers of the Dongchuan Army believe that they will be able to seize the position.

Hearing the officers telling him to charge, the Dongchuan Army soldiers at the front kicked off their feet and rushed towards the trenches of Sakura Country.

As I said before, Sakura Country is not equipped with machine guns. It is said that they still have Type 30 bolt-action rifles in their hands. To fire a round, you need to pull the bolt.

As for the Dongchuan Army, in order to rush into the enemy's battlefield at once, Fan Shaozeng not only made full artillery preparations, but also equipped the soldiers at the front with a large number of light machine guns.

Facing the soldiers of the Sakura Kingdom who had greater firepower than their own, for the first time, they felt what it meant to be suppressed by firepower.

They were suppressed by the attacking Dongchuan Army soldiers and could not lift their heads.

Soon, the soldiers in the front row of the Dongchuan Army arrived at the position outside the city. A Dongchuan Army soldier jumped directly into the trench.

Seeing the Dongchuan Army rushing into the trenches, the Sakura Country soldiers who were dodging bullets were obviously stunned.

But the next second, two Sakura Country soldiers stabbed the soldier with bayonets.

But the Dongchuan Army soldier was not so easy. He pulled out the ghost head knife from his back with his backhand, slashed left and right, and knocked away the two bayonets that were stabbing him. Then he slashed, and then Cut one of the Sakura Country soldiers to the ground.

At this time, another Sakura Country soldier wanted to raise his gun and shoot, but as soon as he raised his gun, he was knocked down by another Dongchuan soldier who jumped into the trench.

The Dongchuan Army soldier strangled his neck and made the Sakura Country soldier roll his eyes.

At this time, the other Sakura Nation soldiers in this trench finally woke up. They wanted to kill the two Dongchuan troops before the other Dongchuan troops invaded the trenches.

But their wishes are destined to fail.

As the second Dongchuan Army jumped into the trench, more and more Dongchuan Army arrived at the edge of the trench.

In this case, neither party had any words to say and just did it.
