The Rise of the God of War

Now five pontoon bridges have been erected, and another five pontoon bridges are being erected.

In addition, there is a group of people who are building a strong bridge of steel so that the artillery units behind can carry it.

But now there are not many troops crossing the river.

The firepower of the Pingyuan Army is powerful, but in exchange for firepower is the massive consumption of ammunition.

The logistics troops continued to deliver ammunition supplies to the river bank.

Four of those five pontoons are now used to transport ammunition.

Especially the general-purpose machine gun, the ammunition consumed is simply a gold-swallowing beast.

But the results are also great.

The central army of the Nanjing government, which kept rushing up, fell down continuously under such firepower.

And the mortars of each regiment are also constantly firing shells.

"The central army of the Nanjing government is really not afraid of death! Under the attack of such artillery, they are still charging! Tsk tsk! They are really afraid of dying fast enough in such a dense formation!"

At this time, Zhao Tiezhu and his deputy commander Qian Dajun were standing on a hill, watching the battle ahead with binoculars.

"Hehe! No way! First of all, their tactical thinking is relatively backward. In the Central Army, which is short of guns and ammunition, you want them to use artillery to cover them and let the soldiers below shoot whatever they want. This is impossible!"

Qian Dajun, who came from the Central Army, was very aware of their problems.

"Their tactical thinking is too backward! If it were me, I would rather adopt a policy of elite soldiers! Reduce the number of troops and compress the establishment. Let each soldier have enough ammunition.

Instead of constantly expanding troops like this.

This number has increased, but the combat effectiveness has dropped dramatically! "

Zhao Tiezhu shook his head, disapproving of their tactic.

"How many infantry divisions have we crossed the river?"

"Now there are eight infantry divisions crossing the river! If you want to send more infantry divisions across the river, you must occupy their first line of defense! Now the eight infantry divisions have already filled the river bank!"

Qian Dajun thought for a while and said.

"En! Good! Order them to occupy the enemy's first defensive line before two o'clock in the afternoon! In addition, order the eighth infantry division, the ninth infantry division, the twenty-fifth infantry division, the twenty-sixth infantry division, and the twenty-seventh infantry division Prepare to cross the river! Once the frontline troops successfully cross the river, the five infantry divisions will immediately cross the river and fight against the Central Army.

This time I must defeat the Nanjing government and occupy Nanjing! "

Zhao Tiezhu's eyes shone with excitement.

As long as the Nanjing government is destroyed, he can get a lot of credit.

Many people now have some gossip about him becoming the elite of the Pingyuan Army, the Fifth Infantry Division. They all say that he was the first to follow the commander in chief, and that he took the position of commander of the Fifth Infantry Division because of his seniority. They all say that he is a small farmer. Where is the ability to sit in this position.

These words reached Zhao Tiezhu's ears, making him feel very uncomfortable.

But he also knew that he was neither the favorite student of Jiang Baili, the commander of Baoding Military Academy, nor a graduate of that military academy.

I didn't go to school before.

That is to say, after following Han Ling, he only had one and a half months to study in the military academy, and was later transferred back to the army because of the shortage of officers in the army.

Those who became the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division entered the military academy for three months.

So now he wants to prove himself, to prove his ability.

I want to tell those who gossip behind his back that he, Zhao Tiezhu, did not take this position by virtue of his qualifications, but by his own ability.

Chapter 281 : Go Forward!Ping Yuan Army! 【two】

On the bank of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, the position of the Seventh Division of the Pingyuan Army Infantry

"Division seat! The headquarters sent a message requesting that we immediately launch a counterattack and occupy the first line of defense of the Central Army before [-] o'clock in the afternoon!"

A correspondent said loudly with a telegram.

"Before two o'clock in the afternoon? In such a hurry? Contact the Air Force and let them provide us with air support. At the same time, it is best to bomb the troops that the Central Army came to support. As long as their reinforcement chain is broken for half an hour, I can let the troops Occupy the first line of defense in the shortest possible time!"

After hearing this, Huang Degang walked around the headquarters twice and said suddenly.

"Yes!"

When Zhao Tiezhu's order was conveyed to the front-line troops, the front-line troops immediately began to contact the heavy artillery and the air force, asking them to provide air support.

On this point, the Air Force immediately began to go into full swing.

And the four heavy artillery divisions also began shelling.

Before, the four heavy artillery divisions were divided into two rounds of shelling.

Now that we are going to attack, we naturally have to give full support.

"Everyone, all bayonets! Pull out the skirmish line, and the heavy machine guns stay in place for fire support! The general machine guns follow us and charge!"

As a company commander spoke, he took a bayonet-mounted semi-automatic rifle and led his troops to charge.

The Pingyuan Army's attack was not as chaotic as the Central Army's.

The attack of the Pingyuan Army used skirmish lines to alternately cover the attack.
