Jiang Fu is now the battalion commander. In more than two years, his promotion can be described as extremely rapid. More than two years ago, he was still a small soldier, extremely unfamiliar on the battlefield. With his platoon leader, a fourth A teenage man nicknamed Crab survived because of the help of many people. In a big battle, Crab protected him, but he died. At that time, both of them were actually tired of the war. They once wanted to leave the army and live a good life somewhere where no one knew them. However, fate played a trick on people and Crab died in Jiang Fu's arms, and Jiang Fu also Finally returned to the army. Jiang Fu¡¯s regiment was almost wiped out in the battle that was flanked by cavalry, and Jiang Fu who survived seemed like a different person. War is the place where a person can grow up best. The army was reorganized and the nearly annihilated 81st Regiment was rebuilt. Jiang Fu replaced Crab and became a platoon leader. In the past two years, Jiang Fu trained so hard that everyone else was stunned. He was eager to avenge Crab, absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. On the training ground, he worked hard to learn the skills to kill enemies. Commander Li Mingjun invited junior officers from other fraternal units who were proficient in various enemy-killing skills to give them special training, and he was always the one who received the most praise. After getting off the training ground, Jiang Fu supported his tired body and ran to learn how to read. Compared with other departments of the Han army, the Twentieth Army had too few literate people. In other armies, many ordinary soldiers were literate. , but in the Twentieth Army, many mid-level officers glanced at each other, and they still relied on the oral relay of the ordering soldiers to convey orders. Li Mingjun also recognized this gap and ordered all mid-level officers to be literate, otherwise they would be stripped of their military uniforms and ordered to change jobs. However, there was no forced requirement for Jiang Fu, who was still a platoon leader at the time. But Jiang Fu voluntarily joined the ranks of learning to read. For these people, it is much more difficult for them to learn to read than to have them sweat on the training ground or bleed on the battlefield. Intermediate officers are required to learn by military order, and there is no mandatory requirement. Junior officers. It is extremely rare for people to work as hard as Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu learned Chinese characters one after another through a more difficult process than on the training ground. He learned to read and draw pictures, learn to write military briefings, and learn to summarize training and operations. This made him stand out among hundreds of junior officers in the Twentieth Army. In two years, he was promoted all the way. Inadvertently, he became the fastest-promoted officer in the 20th Army. After returning to his troop station from the regiment headquarters, Jiang Fu looked at the soldiers sweating profusely on the training ground and laughed from the bottom of his heart. It was finally time to start. Instead of alerting the troops, he returned to his dormitory, picked up a bottle of wine, bought a roast chicken from a restaurant outside the station, and walked out with it. Not far from his station, there is a tomb beside the creek. That is his old officer. It is also the resting place of his savior, the crab. "Brother Crab, we are going on an expedition." Sitting in front of Crab's grave, Jiang Fu raised his neck and took a sip of wine, poured some more into the grave, tore off a roasted chicken leg and placed it in front of the grave. "I will definitely avenge you this time. I know that the Qin army that attacked us that time was stationed in Lubin. This time our 20th Army was the vanguard, and our battalion was the first batch of troops to attack." "I am now the battalion commander! I have thousands of good brothers under me! Brother Crab, don't worry, compared to two years ago, we are now well-trained and well-equipped. We have many powerful weapons, these We haven¡¯t even heard of weapons two years ago!¡± ¡°Brother, I own a set of armor. This kind of armor is specially made. It is only equipped to officers above the battalion level. It is very light, and a complete set weighs only ten pounds on the body. It's a big one, but its protective capabilities are much better than those that weighed a few kilograms. I heard that a set costs several hundred yuan, so it's impossible to equip every soldier with it." "There is also a melon-like one. Grenade is a gunpowder weapon. If we had this kind of weapon back then, we would not have caused the Qin army to disperse in a single charge. With it, we could destroy no matter how many cavalrymen we had. Hey, back then, this kind of weapon seemed to have It hasn¡¯t been studied yet!¡± ¡°Brother Crab, we are very powerful now, we have never been stronger. You don¡¯t know. In the past two years, the people of Qin have not dared to come out, so they can only hide behind and build desperately. No matter how many fortifications they build, they are still vulnerable to attack in our opinion. A force that dares not fight in the field will have no way out. The fierceness of the Qin people is completely lost now. , some time ago I went to Changping, where I burned incense for your son, burned paper, and bought a pot of wine and poured it there. The King of Han built a grand monument there, with the inscription "You can find it" engraved on it. The name of the Zhao army soldier, I also reported the name of your son, and he was also engraved on it. " "Brother Crab, after I finish defeating Qin, I will retire and go home, find a wife, and have several children. doll, youDon't worry, I will adopt one of my sons to you and give him your last name to pass on the incense to your family. My life is given to me by you, and I won¡¯t let your family run away from cigarette sacrifices. " Sitting in front of the grave, Jiang Fu took a sip and poured it in front of the grave. He continued to drink it until the pot of wine was drained. He ate half of the roast chicken and the other half was neatly piled up. In front of Crab's grave, Jiang Fu dug up the soil and buried the roasted chicken. He stood up, straightened his military uniform, and solemnly performed a military salute, "Brother Crab, I'm going to see you. Spirit, bless your brother that I will be invincible in every battle and conquer all attacks. "Jiang Fu turned around and walked towards the distance firmly facing the sunshine. On June 5th, in the early morning, a trace of fish belly white just appeared on the horizon. The 20th Army of the Han Dynasty's First Military District in Jinyang suddenly advanced towards the Lubin Defense Area of ??the Qin Army. Launching the attack, more than 20,000 troops of the 20th Army were divided into three assault arrows, and launched a massive attack on Xiyangping, Tianjiaping and Huangshiping. Jiang Fu's 81st Regiment mainly attacked Tianjiaping, which was the Qin Dynasty. The prominent point of the forward position of the Junlubin Defense Zone is also the fortress city where the largest number of Qin troops are stationed. The city is not big, only two hundred meters long and only more than sixty meters wide. It is a pure military fortress. It was originally It is composed of earth and stone. After the rise of cement in the Han Dynasty and gradually spread to various places, the Qin army also obtained a large amount of cement through various channels and used it to strengthen the fortress. Of course, the Qin army could not be like the Han Like the army, among the fortresses in some key places, Tianjiaping blocks the main access to Lubin, the defense center, and the reinforced fortresses with steel as bones and cement as flesh. As a supporter of the Tianjiaping Fortress, neither the size of the fortress nor the number of soldiers stationed in it could be compared with that of the 3rd Battalion of the 81st Regiment led by Jiang Fu. "When the sun rose, we took over. The regimental flag will be planted on the top of Tianjiaping Fortress. "At the regiment headquarters, Jiang Fu defeated several other colleagues who wanted to seize the first attack task with a simple sentence, and successfully obtained this task. There was a thin mist floating in the Tianjiaping Fortress in the early morning, and Jiang Fu Fu stared at the vague city wall in the distance. The old veteran's book said that the attacker should attack the city ten times and surround it five times. If the opponent has a strong will to fight, the price the attacker has to pay will be several times that of the defender. It could be taken down, but that was just the past. Touching the two cold iron figures beside him, Jiang Fu couldn't help but think of what the artillery instructor said. Under the powerful power of the artillery, any resistance would be defeated by him. It was reduced to ashes under the flames. Jiang Fu had seen the artillery instructors' drills. Even the reinforced concrete structure of the big man was blown to pieces under the bombardment of the artillery. The alarm bell rang on the opposite side, affecting about 100 people. You can see countless figures running around. It is impossible to hide such a large-scale operation from the enemy. What's more, the two armies have been facing each other for so long and have been preparing for war. If there is a slightest sign of trouble, it will be immediately The situation is tense. "The engineer company breaks the barrier!" "Jiang Fu pulled out his command knife and pressed it down heavily. A loud bugle sounded, and engineers holding various tools crouched and flew forward. Their mission was to dismantle the fortress. The previous antlers, resisting horses, and some insidious ambushes hidden in the grass filled up the ditches of different depths, paving the way for the main attack. "The crossbows and artillery moved forward, preparing to provide the engineer company. cover. " Following Jiang Fu's order, the two artillery pieces pulled by horses also began to move forward slowly. They pushed forward until they were only about a mile away from the Tianjiaping Fortress. Then they stopped. This was already Tianjiaping. The trebuchets and crossbows on the fortress are on the edge of the shooting range. But for the artillery, it is easy to attack the enemy at this distance, but the divine machine crossbow is still moving forward slowly. The range of the crossbow is much closer than that of the trebuchet, so they have to move forward to effectively attack the target. There was a roar in the air, Jiang Fu looked up at the sky, and saw several black stone bullets. It came through the air and hit the ground with a bang. A big crater suddenly appeared on the ground. The Shenji Crossbow Team only paused for a moment before starting to move forward again, but their formation was now even more scattered. The bed crossbow began to scream, and more stone bullets fell from the air, hitting the engineers who were waving tools and trying to clear the obstacles. Some people screamed and fell down, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged these fallen people away. "Cannon, fire. "Jiang Fu roared: "You sons of turtles, let me show you how powerful we are. "The gunner worked hard to adjust the angle of the gun. Gunpowder was filled into the gun barrel, tamped and pressed tightly, and a solid bullet was loaded into the gun chamber. "Fire! ¡± The torch moved towards the match rope, burning with a chirping sound.The match rope disappeared quickly, with a thunderous roar, and a large cloud of smoke rose suddenly, blocking Jiang Fu's entire line of sight. The soldiers of the working engineer company invariably raised their heads and stared at the sky in mid-air. That fireball. The fireball passed over the Tianjiaping Fortress and flew all the way to the rear. Hundreds of people on the battlefield sighed in unison. "Lower the firing range by five degrees." The gunner was unmoved and gave the order loudly. The muzzles of the two artillery pieces were lowered, the barrels were cleared, the charges were filled, and the ammunition was loaded. "Shoot!" Two fireballs rose into the sky. (To be continued.)
