Chapter 993: Run

Qi Jun's reaction time lags far behind the reaction speed of Zhao Jun and other allied forces. These are the conveniences brought about by modern technology. Weapons, not just those weapons with greater lethality, are weapons. The concept of weapons is gradually expanding and redefining.

Weapons have begun to become a tool for humans to extend their functions. Its own property is a tool. Modern means of transportation have strengthened human legs. And those weapons that kill more and more distances deepen the function of human beings in the upper limbs. The appearance of telephone and telegraph is to strengthen human communication function. The telescope deepens the human senses.

The Qi Army obviously lags far behind the Allies in terms of senses. The Allied forces have an amazing advantage in this regard. And this is irreparable. This is a natural shortcoming. Qi Guo could not make up for this shortcoming in this regard.

However, the soldiers of the Qi Army showed another characteristic in the battle, that is, tactical flexibility. This unique tactical initiative made Zhao Jun's offensive a little unprepared.

"Sir, the Qi army in front has regular fortifications to resist us." A reconnaissance lieutenant ran to report.

"Our task is to destroy all the Qi army in front of us." said a Colonel Zhao Jun. His regiment was ordered to follow the cavalry. Use frontal offensive methods to crush all Qi army defense lines. However, his troops encountered many accidents on their way forward. For example, many of his infantry units were far behind by the cavalry. The worst part is that those heavy-duty troops are still behind. Only a handful of heavy-duty troops arrived to follow.

There is artillery. The artillery advanced very slowly. Only light artillery can barely keep up with the speed of the infantry, but the speed of the infantry is far behind the cavalry. Overall. Zhao Jun’s offense. Well done strategically. But in the details. Zhao Jun is really far from satisfactory.

However, there is no alternative. Yan's backward infrastructure has dragged down the entire Zhao army's march. Can't afford to attack the heavy roads of large-scale generals, and have already transported heavy artillery. All these have caused Zhao Jun to act slowly.

In fact, Zhao Jun himself has a big problem. Although Zhao Jun has also established a staff system, the staff obviously do not have the experience and working ability to take on such a large offensive process. Many of them are participating in actual combat for the first time. Before, they only held relevant positions in the exercise, but they had not actually conducted it in actual combat. They only relied on the suddenness of the cavalry at the beginning to achieve a rapid result at the beginning. They were killed and captured a large number of Qi soldiers. These soldiers became part of their brilliant victory.

"It is a miracle that there is even a camp of Qi army ahead." Obviously, the colonel has been dazzled by successive victories.

"How many troops do we have? Chief of Staff." the colonel asked.

"We have less than two and a half battalions of troops. Among them, the artillery has only three light artillery. There are less than three machine guns. We still have a large number of troops far behind." At this time, a chief of staff held it. Good statistics report said.

"To deal with Qi Jun. These are enough. They have been beaten by us and don't want to take up arms anymore." The colonel said confidently.

"Order. Our artillery. Fire over there immediately. The infantry is ready to launch an attack." The colonel took a binoculars and looked at the field position arranged by the opposite Qi army and hurriedly issued such an order.

"But, sir, our artillery has a serious shortage of shells. If we fire, it will take less than five minutes to burn out our running shells." The lieutenant colonel on the side suggested that.

"This is the order of the military commander. Shouldn't the chief of staff give the order?" The colonel arbitrarily issued the order at this time. In the colonel's opinion. Establishing a position of chief of staff is of little use, and they can't do anything. They will only give orders of one kind or another, and they can't do anything to give orders to make decisions. So, many times. Zhao Jun’s military commander and the chief of staff are not a cooperative relationship, but an antagonistic relationship. Commanders usually do not take the initiative to heed the advice given by the chief of staff.

Although Zhao Jun has established a complete staff system, he obviously hasn't learned its essence.

"Sir. There is a big problem with your order." The chief of staff still conscientiously expressed his views at this time.

"The order has been issued. Chief of Staff, do you want to join the battle?" The colonel turned and asked at this moment.

"This." The chief of staff knew his current situation. The relationship between the chief of staff and the commander is not very good. Because, during the march. The chief of staff will take the initiative to deal with some situations. This is the current situation. Obviously the chief of staff has to take a great responsibility, because many combat units have not arrived.

"Huh." The chief of staff exhaled deeply.

"Okay." The chief of staff reluctantly agreed.

"Let's launch an artillery attack immediately. Order our infantry to prepare for an attack." The colonel said at this time.

The chief of staff reluctantly agreed. For such an offense. He himself opposed it.

And Qi Jun on the opposite side. A general of the Qi army also checked the situation on the opposite side in the trenches.

"We can't resist Zhao Jun's attack at all." The general said while looking at the opposite situation with a telescope.

"Look at Zhao Jun's equipment on the opposite side. Although those artillery pieces are small, they have a much higher kill range and power than us, and their rifle shooting distance. Some are above us, and our morale is so low now. It is impossible to resist an attack from the opponent." The general said.

"But, General, if we hold on to our position, we can also hold our position." A Qi army officer asked at this time.

"Shou." the general asked.

"We can't keep it at all, we must leave here." The general said at this time.

"Do you know? This is the commanding heights, usually. Zhao Jun will desperately seize this position, and they have artillery, and we, only two old artillery, such a battle can not be defeated. Even if it is defeated. Ours. The loss will also increase a lot. Such an approach is really unfavorable for us. Therefore, I placed my troops behind the commanding heights. Using their textbooks, called the reverse slope." The general introduced at this time.

It turned out that this general had already calculated that Zhao Jun would definitely use their artillery advantage to launch an offensive. In this regard, Qi Jun obviously cannot make up for this shortcoming. Only the rifleman with the rifle was in their hands. For artillery, they are really lacking. To this end, he set his main battlefield at a commanding height. Attract Zhao Jun to attack. At the same time, he put his main force on the reverse slope. Because the artillery would not pay attention to what is behind the mountain.

And in the front position, he just put in a lure force of less than two hundred people. The real offense is on the reverse slope.

"Boom." The general just finished his thoughts. Zhao Jun's artillery roared towards the Qi army's position.

"Huh." A cannonball roared towards this side.

"Boom." A huge explosion sounded. Zhao Jun’s shells came recklessly.

"Hidden. All hidden." A Qi army veteran shouted loudly.

"Boom." The shells kept hitting. The shouts of veterans and the howling of shells kept wounding. The wailing of the wounded. Let the battlefield suddenly become so chaotic.

"These sons of a bitch." The general can only hide in the trenches. The continuous flying shells made everyone frightened. They were all praying, praying that the shells would not fall in their trenches.

"Ah. Help." After an explosion. A soldier of the Qi Army was hit by shrapnel in his stomach and kept wailing, hoping that someone would come to rescue him. However, at this time, people were hiding in the trenches. They did not want shells to fall on themselves, because it was a piece of Very unlucky thing.

"Boom. Boom." The continuous sound of artillery sounded for less than three minutes. But this time is the most difficult time for Qi army soldiers.

After the shelling, the gunpowder has not dissipated. But the whole battlefield was quite silent. It seemed that everyone was killed by the shells. Deathly silence.

And Zhao Jun on the opposite side. The colonel asked a strange question.

"Why did our artillery stop shooting?" the colonel asked.

"Sir, our cannonballs are all out." The lieutenant colonel on the side said helplessly.

"Oh. Really?" Apparently the colonel didn't believe that his artillery had fired all the shells so quickly.

"Yes, sir," the lieutenant colonel repeated.

"Our logistics supply is not very smooth. We supply very little and consume a lot." The lieutenant colonel wanted to tell the colonel about the current situation.

"Well, I also want to launch a bigger bombardment. I didn't expect that we have so few shells. Launch an attack." At this time. The colonel suddenly issued an offensive order.

"Sir. Are we attacking now?" the lieutenant colonel's chief of staff asked suspiciously.

"Yes. Look at the opposite side, you will feel that my approach is so correct." The colonel confidently pointed to the opposite Qi Jun position and said.

On the opposite side of the Qi Jun position, a good show is being staged.

"Run. Run." This time. General Qi Jun shouted loudly.

"Don't run again. Zhao Jun will kill him. Run." The general even took the lead and shouted.

"Run." Seeing the leader shouted. The other soldiers of the Qi army unceremoniously began to run back. Obviously, they have had enough of this sin. They don't want to be killed by shells.
