    (There's a power outage. I still have things to do, so I can't go to the Internet cafe. Sorry)

    In early February, the guards who stood at the Lantianba ferry began to cross the river, and the fighting in Luzhou became intense.

    "Surround on both sides and break through in the middle. The commander who protects the enemy has some skills." Xu Shaozeng watched the rigorously formed Yunnan Army slowly press towards Liu Xiang's ground formation. Even if it was his opponent, Xu Shaozeng couldn't help but praise.  "Liu Xiang is not bad, he is a good fighter."

    Among the generals in central Sichuan, Liu Xiang is famous for his fighting ability.  The soldiers from Liu Cunhou's battalion of Deng Xihou attacked very sharply.  The offensive was not fierce, but it was advancing step by step.  In the blink of an eye, they were within a hundred meters of Liu Xiang's defense line.

    The sound of guns and cannons was heard endlessly. Due to Xu Wei's good relationship with Wang Xiu Sheng, the brigade's ordnance and supplies were given priority to Xu Wei.  This makes Liu Xiang even weaker than the guard in terms of firepower.

    Seeing that the Dehu ** had invaded Liu Xiang's line, Liu Xiang didn't complain too much and directly led the pistol team to the battle in person.  The crackling sounds of gunfire were heard constantly, and the sound of artillery was sparse.  Liu Xiang personally went into battle, and the morale of the Sichuan army was greatly boosted, and they rose up to fight back.  Both sides lost dozens of men each, and after several rounds of firing, the Deng Xihou camp affiliated with Liu Cunhou was driven back again.

    Luzhou¡¯s old nest was lost, and Liu Cunhou was eager to get it back. Soon, thousands of people attacked Liu Xiang again.

    "Brother Xu, I have left most of the ordnance to you. Liu Xiang must be holding his breath right now. If the front is tight, I'm afraid it won't look good on the brigade." Hearing that Liu Xiang's defense line was tight, he responded to this matter  Wang Xiusheng, who knew it well, rushed to see Xu Wei.  If he loses the battle and Liu Xiang sues him, I'm afraid Wang Xiusheng will also face some lawsuits.

    "Brother Yucheng, don't worry. I know the importance. Today I will drive the escort back to the south bank of the Yangtze River. I will never embarrass brother Yucheng because of what happened on the battlefield." Xu Wei said calmly.

    "With Brother Xu's words, I won't ask any more questions." Wang Xiusheng nodded.

    "Wang Congyun, inform the chief of staff that we can counterattack." Seeing that Liu Xiang's troops had suffered a lot of losses and that most of their protective energy had been consumed by Liu Xiang's troops, Xu Wei immediately ordered.

    "Yes, group seat."

    "I will go to supervise the battle immediately and will not accompany Brother Yucheng." Xu Weidao.

    "Okay, okay, Brother Xu, just go. I'm waiting to hear the news from the front line." Wang Xiusheng nodded.

    Xu Wei laughed and strode forward.

    Boom!  The Sichuan Army's position, which had been silent for a period of time, suddenly became violent with artillery fire. Although the Japanese-made 75MM mountain gun was not as powerful as Kruber, it was definitely a weapon for suppressing the army in Sichuan at this time.

    With one shot, there was a hole in the ground.  The mud was rolling, mixed with the pungent smell of blood and feces.

    Boom, boom, boom!  Bullets from time to time made a series of bullet holes in the ground.

    Unlike the attacks of other troops, the two battalions of Zhou Wu and Ding Dafu formed multiple small attack points with companies and platoons as units, and launched attacks on the guards from different positions.

    At this time, we were fighting in the north of the Luzhou River, and the main artillery force of Liu Cunhou's Second Division had no time to transport across the river.  There was no way to provide the necessary fire support to his subordinates.  This allowed Xu Wei's artillery to bombard the defensive positions unscrupulously.

    Amidst the bursts of machine gunfire, more than a dozen companies and platoons steadily encroached on the space protecting the enemy.

    "Battalion Commander, the third company's position is in emergency! Requesting emergency support!"

    "Battal Commander, our company is under fierce attack by the enemy. We request immediate support."

    "Grand labor, didn't you fight well just now?" Lai Xinhui jumped in anger when he heard the various requests for help from the front line.  Lai Xinhui felt that the entire front line was about to collapse.  "They are all Sichuan troops. I want to see if those people on the opposite side have gained strength, or if you are too incompetent."

    "Good fight, that's it. Kill the opponent's officers and communications soldiers first." Zhou Wu was so excited that he dropped his head to the soft ground.

    "The coordination of infantry and artillery is not enough. They are really prodigal, and they don't know how to save their fire." Even so, Xu Wei did not stop the artillery's actions.  Experience comes from fighting, and Xu Wei will not sacrifice the lives of soldiers just to save ammunition. At present, the Beiyang government is relatively wealthy compared with the Japanese government.  The supply of ammunition is also much better.

    Xiong Xiangsheng is responsible for receiving the Beiyang army that will arrive in Luzhou soon. The battle on the front line is temporarily left to Xu Wei.  Liu Xiang was assigned some hard work, but he had to fight with all his strength due to circumstances.  Originally, I was very angry, thinking that Xu Wei could only be favored by Xiong Xiangsheng through some opportunistic luck. At this time, when he saw Zhou Wu, Ding Dafu and other battalions forming, he couldn't help but be surprised. Only then did he realize that Xu Wei was not only  There are many twists and turns, and there are also hard skills under your hands.  The attack formation of one company and one platoon, although it does not look too compact, is extremely effective.  The gunshots fired back by the guards kept ringing out, and several rounds of gunfire were fired.?However, not many of Xu Wei's attacking soldiers were shot.

    "Hmph, Xiong Xiangsheng is really biased. He transferred all the machine guns and cannons to Xu Wei. If we had these guys, we would have defeated the guards on the opposite side." Hu Chuntian saw the guards retreating under pressure.  *, his tone couldn't help but be a little sour and authentic.

    "That's right, Xu Wei obviously had such strong firepower, but he didn't use it early. He was clearly using the regiment as a gunman to kill people with swords." Zhang Sike's men suffered heavy losses, and they were most angry with Xu Wei.

    "Fight well and stop saying such nonsense." Liu Xiang said with a straight face, how could he not know these truths.  But what can he, a small leader, do.

    "Kill!" The soldiers of the three companies finally collided with the guard.  Zhou Wu picked up his rifle and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the guards.

    Due to the lack of live ammunition training, although there are some differences in the marksmanship between the two armies, they are not significant after all.  But without live-fire training, Xu Wei had extremely strict requirements on his subordinates' hand-to-hand combat.  In addition, he usually subsidizes the money and gives extra meals to the soldiers from time to time, so that the overall physical fitness of his soldiers is better than that of Liu Cunhou's troops.  Previously, Lai Xinhui, Deng Xihou and others were still able to hold on under the disadvantage of firepower. Now once Zhou Wubu burst in, the dozens of soldiers who came forward quickly melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun at a speed visible to the naked eye.  In comparison, the casualty rate of Xu Wei's regiment was pitifully low.

    Zhou Wu took the lead in tearing a hole in the defense line.  Immediately afterwards, Ding Dafu also opened a gap in his own offensive direction.  The practice of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall soon became ineffective.  When Xu Wei ordered the cavalry company that was usually hidden in the snow to be thrown into the battlefield, no matter how hard Lai Xinhui, Deng Xihou and others resisted, they could no longer maintain it.

    "Withdraw, withdraw quickly, otherwise everyone will have to deal with it here." Lai Xinhui saw that there was nothing he could do and hurriedly ordered to retreat.
