"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud noise, a few meters of hollow appeared in the middle of the first battalion formation of the attack, with several charred corpses on the ground, and more than a dozen soldiers struggling in pain on the ground.

A new foreign six-pound cannon?

Lin Yichen was shocked suddenly, his face immediately turned pale, and the earth-shaking continuous loud noises confirmed his thoughts. The shells fell one after another in the impact of the first battalion, causing terrifying casualties in the formation.

The originally low morale of the First Battalion could not be maintained, and the officers' shouts could not be called back the soldiers running back. The only counterattack of the Self-Defense Forces gave up halfway.

Seeing this, Sima Kan raised his arms and shouted, waved his sword in his right hand, and held a newly replaced imported revolver in his left hand. The flag bearer next to him raised an orange battle flag. The drummer rang the order for advance. Hundreds of strong men held the bayonet rifles and divided them into five rows to kill the Lin family army.

There were more and more enemy troops on both sides of the valley, and gunfire became more and more dense. Lin Yichen really wanted to kill the Xu family, who claimed that there were only two thousand people in Dengzhou, and two thousand people... The enemy troops on both sides alone would probably be less than four or five thousand.

Just ten minutes after the war began, the will of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army had already collapsed. An officer of the 17th Division who participated in the war recalled the battle and said: "It was a total unilateral massacre..." The neighing of horses, screaming, crying, gunshots, and cannons in the valley were mixed together, and the Self-Defense Army could not organize effective resistance at all.

Lin Yichen waved his knife with his left hand and held a gun with his right hand, shouting loudly, trying to organize an effective organization, but the soldiers around him had no sound at all. The crowded stream of people made him unable to move, and there were surging heads everywhere in his eyes. Lin Yichen, who was extremely disappointed, felt the sky was spinning, screaming, closing his eyes, and the black pistol in his hand had already pointed at his temple.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, Qiaozhi's figure appeared in his mind, and his left hand couldn't help but tremble.

"Go away!" Opening your eyes, a tall figure appeared in his vision. He saw a deep scar on his left face. The scar man pulled the reins backwards. The defeated soldiers crowded on the road retreated to both sides under the threat of the man's sword. The strong cavalry who had been suppressed for a long time suddenly ran happily.

What is this person? Lin Yichen was questioning. At this moment, the two horses passed by. The man shouted a few times, but Lin Yichen just vaguely heard: "Qiaozhi... take care of..."

The horse was still running, and Lin Yichen suddenly remembered that Xu Qiaozhi mentioned this scar man, who was one of Xu Qiaozhi's suitors, but he finally won the beauty back. He couldn't help but look back at the scar man, and saw him shouting, waving his sword himself, and rushing towards the enemy's guns and bullets.

Seeing this, he immediately understood the other party's intentions and tried his best to urge the iron cavalry, galloping like the wind.

"Great victory!" A staff officer shouted to the three commanders on the top of the mountain with an excited expression: "Report to Commander Ding, Brigade Commander, and Chief of Staff Sima. Now the results of the battle are counted. Our army has killed 29 people, injured 107 people, killed and wounded more than 1,700 bandits, captured more than 7,000 bandit deputy division commander, and only bandit commander Lin Yichen and others escaped."

Sima Kan looked proud: "This time I would like to thank Commander Ding and the old battalion commander for letting us eat meat, and the captives alone would capture more than 2,000."

Li Yihe looked at the prisoners who were taken off the battlefield, and his eyes were filled with contempt, saying, "If it weren't for Sima's army, I wouldn't have let you attack, but this militia would still want to compete with our division commander for Shandong, dream!"

"Old Li, don't underestimate the four great masters of Jiaodong. They have been operating in Jiaodong for many years and are deeply rooted. If we make a slight mistake, these bandits will be like spring grass when they have the chance!" Speaking of this, Ding Ning deliberately lowered his voice: "Before the commander went to Beijing this time, the instructions given to me were to uproot and not leave any grass!"

This sentence determines the fate of the four Jiaodong masters for decades from now on

If the failure of the First Division is still aspiring, the attack of the Second Division on Weihai is a mess. This division was temporarily formed by three regiments, with an army of about 8,000 people, of which nearly two-thirds were new soldiers, and less than 3,000 veterans.

Unlike the First Division, these three regiments belong to three families. The three regiment commanders usually meet with each other, but they don’t convince anyone. It is a fantasy that the division commander has a fantasy among them. There is no way to do anything, so they have to temporarily be the elder of the Lin family, Lin Baiyi, as the division commander.

This commander Lin Baiyi had sold seafood, ran to Guandong, taught students, and served as county magistrate, but he had never brought soldiers. Of course, the three commanders were even more dissatisfied with such a person who came from the airborne.

The Second Division started the attack smoothly, and occupied dozens of villages and towns in a row without any attack. Lin Baiyi did not dominate the army. Each village and town had to leave a small army to guard, at most one company, at least one row, and countless troops fell behind like pearls in a scattered line. The three regiment commanders did not dissuade them, just to see the new division commander's good show.

After learning that the enemy was discovered, Lin Baihe found that his troops were only half of the time he went to war, and had just exceeded 4,000 people. Commander Lin's combat plan was a replica of what a lady called the "most mediocre plan". One third of the troops attacked head-on, one third detoured from both wings, and one third became a reserve team...

Lin Baihe was about to reap the results he had imagined, but the troops attacking head-on found that the front-on enemy was twice as big as those on the ground. Looking at the murderous enemy, many newcomers rushed to the front and frigid.

Although Liu Jingxiao's four infantry brigades were all organized by the Third Regiment of the First Brigade, only the First Brigade was the three actual regiments, and the third regiments of the other three brigades were all a brief regiment, with only more than a thousand people in the entire regiment.

After the four Jiaodong great powers revived, the Third Regiment immediately added a large number of new recruits and became a large group of 3,000 people. However, these new recruits were different from the farmers convened by the four great powers. They were composed of reserve soldiers and veterans who were trained by the reserve regiment one month a year, and they were quite powerful.

The gap between the two sides was immediately revealed. Before the battle started, deserters from the four major parties could form a platoon. When they were about to enter the range of the rifle, the four quick cannons assigned to the third regiment began to test the firing. Although the effect was not good and all were missing, they had unexpected effects.

Under the threat of artillery, the will of the new dynasties completely collapsed. The chaotic crowd threw down their weapons and ran backwards. Some of the nimble minds simply surrendered directly. The Third Regiment took advantage of the victory and pursued them effortlessly. The four retreating teams dispersed the reserve team, and the retreat turned into a big retreat.

When the troops on both wings arrived, they found that the friendly forces had retreated, and the enemy occupied favorable terrain and were ready to attack. The hot-headed commander ordered the continued attack. When the tentative attack was defeated, the contraction turned into a great defeat.

In this battle, the third regiment after the war summarized it: "In addition to the wise and bravery of our army, the enemy's unbearable battle is indeed our expectation."

For the enemy with such "strong" combat power, the Third Regiment would naturally not be polite and pursue the victory with murderous intent. When the troops stationed in the rear learned that the main force had retreated, most of the soldiers simply took off their military uniforms and went home by themselves, and the resistance of a few soldiers was about to collapse.

Commander Lin Baiyi ran all the way, creating a night marching record of nearly a hundred miles overnight, and was finally caught up by the cavalry of Liu's army. In response to Commander Lin's record, a cavalry platoon of more than ten people miraculously captured nearly a thousand people.
