The Republic of Heroes

Along the way, Liu Zhennian gathered a lot of routs. According to the routs, Linzi County's firepower seemed to be very strong. Not only did they have machine guns capable of bursting fire, but they also had howitzers with a caliber of more than [-] mm.How can this be?How can the equipment of the militia be better than that of the regular army?Even the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Nanjing government may not have such good equipment!He already had a reasonable explanation for these people's rhetoric in his heart, that is, the rout soldiers were afraid of being punished for defeat, and deliberately exaggerated the firepower of the militia in Linzi County.

There is more than one person in the Jiaodong brigade who has the same idea as Liu Zhennian. Many people have been cast aside by the cavalry regiment. Back then, the cavalry regiment was Liu Zhennian's treasure. Putting the other regiments in their eyes, the defeat is so miserable now, and it can be calculated that there is a bad breath in the chest.In addition, those regiment and battalion commanders are gearing up one by one, preparing to show their hands when Linzi is captured.

When the army arrived at the city of Linzi, it was already dark, and the staff of the brigade suggested camping and resting that night, and then launched an attack in the early morning of the second day, catching Linzi County by surprise.Holding a binoculars, Liu Zhennian observed the situation of Linzi City from a distance for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual about their defenses. The only thing that made people suspicious was that the city walls were so dark that there was no light at all.Report any broken soldiers immediately.

"That's it. It was the same way when we came here last night. After touching it, those **** are waiting for us with guns in their hands!"

Liu Zhennian curled his lips and said in his heart, this is a hole dug for you to jump in, only that idiot Liu Guaizi can be fooled.Then he snorted coldly and said: "Those idiots in Linzi city think that the same hurdle can trip people up twice?" Then he pointed at the adjutant, "Put out all our Siyi mountain cannons, and the cannons will give me a hard blow!" Bombing, let’s first flatten the city wall that looks like a wall.”

The infantry on this side straightened the camp, while the artillerymen on the other side pushed the mountain cannons to a suitable position, and then adjusted and fired at the various elements. After everything was ready, the artillery regiment Zhang ordered someone to ask for instructions on when to fire the cannons.

"What else do you need to ask for instructions? Let's fire now, fuck the fuck!"

After the artillerymen of the Jiaodong Brigade got the order, several mountain cannons were fired at once, and the sound was loud. When the shells fell on the city wall, a piece of gravel and soil was blown up.

After bombing wildly for about half an hour, the city wall was completely changed, but there was still no movement on it.Liu Zhennian thought to himself, didn't the militia know that our Jiaodong Brigade was unstoppable and had already fled?So decided to try it out.

"First send a company up to investigate the enemy's situation. If everything goes well, the brothers will go to the city to have dinner and sleep with the girls!"

When the test soldiers of the Jiaodong Brigade climbed to the top of the city, the worrying things did not happen. There was nothing behind the parapet, and there was no ambush described by the rout of the cavalry regiment.The narrow passage of the city wall has been bombed and full of gravel and mud. They used the light of the torches to wave to the responders below the city, signaling that there is no danger.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers outside the city also climbed up the city one after another. Liu Zhennian held up his binoculars to observe the actions of the soldiers under his command. Although he has always advocated careful use of troops, Chengli is a militia after all, and even the city walls have been abandoned. What kind of tricks can you play?Furthermore, even if they want to play tricks, do they have the capital to afford it?Is the militia without the support of the city wall still a piece of fat to be rubbed?

It wasn't until a large group of soldiers climbed up the city wall and jumped down from the inside that Liu Zhennian felt relieved.

The first small group of soldiers who jumped off the city wall and entered the city looked for the direction of the entrance of the city wall, but were surprised to find that Linzi had no city gate at all. To be precise, the city gate had been firmly rammed with rammed earth and sandbags.Someone laughed and said: "The city is lost, so what's the use of blocking the door? Let's go, first to occupy the county government..."

"I heard that the provincial chairman appointed by the south lives in Linzi city, let's catch this big fish first!"

They quickly came to an agreement and met the Jiaodong Brigade soldiers who entered the city one after another. They were about to kill the county government in the center of the city when a fire suddenly went up in the dark front, and the entire inside of the city wall was illuminated brightly. Under the light of the fire, sandbags were built The fortifications extend to both sides without end.And the people behind the sandbags did not give the soldiers of the Jiaodong Brigade any chance to think, observe and attack. Light and heavy machine guns fired at once, and the firepower instantly wiped out a group of people. Let bullets harvest their lives.

The soldiers who didn't have time to jump into the city were overjoyed, thanks to themselves for being slow, otherwise they would have been beaten into a sieve now.Fortunately, this lasted less than a minute, and the shells fell on the city wall with precision like hailstones.This time the bombardment came more violently and intensively, like plowing the ground, front, back, left, and right, and no dead corner was spared.

Liu Zhennian shouted anxiously: "What's the matter with the artillery? Our own people are still on the city wall, don't fire! Don't fire!"

The adjutant ran over with a terrified face.

"Brigadier, it's not our artillery!"

"Not our artillery?"

Liu Zhennian didn't realize it for a while, if it wasn't their artillery, who could it be?A few seconds later, he suddenly lost his voice: "Could it be the artillery in Linzi City?"

He once again raised the binoculars to observe the situation on the city wall. At this time, the soldiers of the Jiaodong Brigade standing on the city wall could no longer be seen. The artillery shells were still bombarding the city wall repeatedly.Liu Zhennian's heart was bleeding, and in the blink of an eye, a regiment was confessed like this. What kind of militia regiment is stationed in Linzi City?

If the troops were withdrawn at this time, that regiment would have died in vain, but if the troops were not withdrawn and continued to attack, the strength of the Linzi defenders was unknown, and they were likely to face greater casualties.After the final balance, he still issued an attack order. After the cannons in Linzi City stopped bombarding the city wall, the Jiaodong Brigade rushed forward under Liu Zhennian's order, and the sound of charging and killing pierced the sky.Their fate was not better than those before. After they climbed the wall and jumped into the city, what they faced was a super firepower woven by light and heavy machine guns. When they wanted to retreat, it was too late.

In the conference room of the Tai'an Provisional Provincial Government, everyone was discussing a lot. Today's Qilu Daily published a piece of news that surprised everyone. It is said that Wu Xiaoliang, who took office alone and formed another provincial government in Linzi, defeated the elite Liu Zhennian of Jiaodong with a mere militia group. Mixed into a brigade, and more than [-] officers under Liu Zhennian were captured alive, which aroused everyone's emotion.

"Young people are awesome, young people are awesome!"

"I heard that he carried out land reform in Linzi, and he made a splash..."

"From what Brother Fang said, I really want to go to Linzi to find out..."

Han Fuju has been neglecting the meeting of the provincial government for many days because of the infighting in the Northwest Army. Feng Yuxiang has reduced his army to a division. The guys are even more dissatisfied.
