Opposite Ludendorff, Zhao Gang saw with satisfaction that his superior artillery exerted his strength. The left wing of the opposite army showed a slight wavering, and slowly... but he irresistiblely retreated. "Just like a dam break, the smallest crack can also bring a huge gap." Zhao Gang smiled and quietly enjoyed the feeling of controlling the battlefield.

Perhaps Ludendolf discovered that his left wing was not good, and the right wing began to launch fierce attacks on Zhao Gang. From Zhao Gang's perspective, these attacks would have to pay a huge price. Gang couldn't last long. As long as he withstanded this a while, he could successfully defeat the enemy in front of him. When he thought that he could defeat twice the enemy with a surprise attack, Zhao Gang was a little proud, and did not notice that his wings had been pulled a little thin.

Both sides are looking forward to the gap in Rudendorf's left wing.

Finally, at the moment when the position guarded by several soldiers was lost, Ludendorff's left wing was twisted, and another round of artillery broke out a small hole in the left wing at the right time. Seeing the rare opportunity, Zhao Gang immediately threw the reserve team of 1,200 people in his hand into the German left wing position.

The reserve captain is Hei Niu, and Zhao Gang had ordered before:

"After opening the gap, do not expand horizontally, but stuff all the troops in one go, expand vertically, and use offense instead of defense."

Soon, both sides paid the price for their carelessness; Zhao Gang's reserve team fell into the carefully constructed cross-fire network of Letov-Folbeck, and suffered a catastrophic blow, with a few centaurs withdrawing from the exercise; and the Germans did not take advantage, the left and right wings were forcibly divided into two halves by the reserve team, and the left wing began to show signs of collapse.

Now both the Germans and Zhao Gang are struggling to support it. If Zhao Gang's reserve team can successfully cut off the connection between the left and right wings, then the victory belongs to Zhao Gang. If the German withstand the reserve team's attack, the Germans will undoubtedly win the final victory. Although the connection point between the left and right wings of the Germans looks very thin, it has the toughness of spider silk and cannot be solved in the short term.

At this time, a small team of people appeared on the horizon behind Zhao Gang, which seemed to be more than 300 people. But at this moment, this was enough. Rudendolf murmured to himself: "God, bless me, that army must be my friendly." At this time, Rudendolf fully understood the mood of Emperor Napoleon and Duke Wellington on the battlefield in Waterloo that year.

Zhao Gang was also very nervous. He didn't know whether this army was his own sneak attack or Wu Junsheng's remnant force. The distance was too far.

The army was very fast. Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out from Zhao Gang's troops, and the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and finally penetrated the Germans' defense line. The last straw was added to the Germans and they fell to the ground with a bang.

The Germans who collapsed on the front still showed their strength and fought stubbornly among several temporary fortifications, but in the face of an organized army, an unorganized army could only lead to defeat.

The result of the first battle was unexpected. Zhao Gang's first division defeated the second division and the third division, achieving a much greater result than the victory conditions (defending Motianling and Lianshanguan for five days). The third division achieved far more results in the battle than the second division (the third division eliminated more than 2,400, and the third division eliminated more than 700).

During the battle, the Pingko Army also used some new weapons, light machine guns, and grenades were used in the exercise for the first time. But like all new things, grenades and light machine guns are far from perfect as a few years later. Although they have a certain lethality, no weapon can turn the situation around, and artillery once again became the decisive force. On the battlefield, 70% of people were hit by shells, and every 1.2 shells could destroy an enemy, and if bullets were used, it would take 3,200 rounds to eliminate an enemy.

These valuable experiences were recorded and preserved in different categories. After receiving a copy of relevant information, a person went to Zhao Gang in anger.

Zhao Gang was planning the second exercise with his staff at this time. The first exercise brought too many new things. Zhao Gang felt that it was necessary to digest these for a while, so he announced that the second exercise would be carried out in half a month.

"Bang" a report was thrown to the table, interrupting Zhao Gang's thoughts. Zhao Gang raised his head and saw who was the one who was desperate to dare to throw a tantrum like this.

"So it's Yifu. Why are you so unhappy today? Who is the brave and offended our great God of Wealth!"

The person who could make Zhao Gang change his face to each other was named Liang Shiyi, whose courtesy name was Yifu. He was originally Yuan Shikai's clerk and was responsible for North Korea's finances. Later, Yuan Shikai was defeated to death, and Liang Shiyi and other aides retreated with the defeated soldiers and were discovered by Zhao Gang. After several conversations, Zhao Gang discovered that this person, who later became known as Liang's God of Wealth, was really strong in financial management. He happened to have no special financial manager, so he appointed Liang Shiyi to manage finances.

Liang Shiyi is also a person with courage, vision and ideals. He was not too moved by Zhao Gang's invitation, but because he really had no place to go, he had to condescend for the time being.

However, as soon as he came into contact with Zhao Gang's interior, Liang Shiyi found that this young man had extremely strong strength. On the surface, Zhao Gang had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and there were still 20,000 to 30,000 in secret. Lushun Port was firmly in his hands, and the North Koreans were also somewhat involved. What surprised Liang Shiyi the most was that the whereabouts of several huge sums of money were unknown, and the number was actually millions. Judging from Zhao Gang's personality, he should have been strengthened into the army.

Such strength was far inferior even when Yuan Shikai was in his prime. Liang Shiyi began to accept Zhao Gang and devoted himself to Zhao Gang. He did not expect that he would be so angry today.

"Master Zhao, your exercise cost is too much. If you continue like this, the banknote will be empty."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang waved his hand to clear the staff, and asked with a serious look:

“How much money did the exercise cost?”

"A total of 280,000 taels, and 30,000 taels of exercise shells alone cost 70,000 taels, and 50,000 taels of five million bullets. You are not in charge of the company and don't know how much money you have to spend every day?"

Zhao Gang answered carefully: "One thousand taels?"

"One thousand taels, you have 43,000 people to support now, and you spend 3,600 taels a day. The court can get 800 taels, and you pay for it alone. The silver treasury now only has more than 700,000 taels of silver. The full amount is only enough for a year, and your struggle is only enough for half a year."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang said with some gratitude

"Fortunately, the second exercise has not started yet. Yifu, I made a small fortune in North Korea last time, and there are still some left. I will give you all the list to save you from having no money in the future."

After saying that, he handed the list to Liang Shiyi

Liang Shiyi frowned when he heard this: "I'm still practicing, but I won't do it during the exercise. I'll give me the list quickly."

When Liang Shiyi opened the list, he suddenly widened his eyes:

"Master Zhao, how did you get the money?"

Zhao Gang asked with a smile: "Yingfu, you don't have to worry about money. For me, you may just worry about one thing, how to spend the money."
