Jiang Fu is now the battalion commander. In more than two years, his promotion can be described as being very fast. More than two years ago, he was still a soldier and was extremely awkward on the battlefield. With his platoon leader, a man in his forties nicknamed Crab, survived. In a big battle, Crab protected him, but he died. At that time, both of them were actually tired of war and wanted to leave the army and find a place where no one knew them to live a good life. However, luck made people so that Crab died in Jiang Fu's arms, and Jiang Fu finally returned to the army.

Jiang Fu's regiment was almost completely lost in the battle that was attacked by cavalry, and Jiang Fu, who survived, was like a different person. War was the place where a person could grow up the most. The army was reorganized and rebuilt the almost annihilated 81st regiment. Jiang Fu replaced the crab and became a platoon leader.

In the past two years, Jiang Fu's hard training made everyone stunned. He was eager to avenge the crab, absorbing various knowledge like a sponge. On the training ground, he worked hard to learn the ability to kill enemies. Commander Li Mingjun invited grassroots officers who were proficient in killing enemies from other brothers to train them. He was always the one who received the most praise. After getting off the training ground, Jiang Fu supported his tired body and ran to learn to recognize words. The 20th Army and other Han troops all over the country.

Compared with the troops, there are too few people who can read. Many ordinary soldiers in other armies are literate, but in the 20th Army, many intermediate officers looked at each other. They still rely on the verbal remarks of the commanders. Li Mingjun also realized this gap and forced all intermediate officers to recognize words, otherwise they would strip their military uniforms and order to transfer their jobs. However, Jiang Fu, who was still the platoon leader at the time, did not force a request. However, Jiang Fu voluntarily joined the ranks of learning to recognize words.

For these people, it is much harder to let them learn to recognize words than to let them sweat on the training ground and bleeding on the battlefield. Intermediate officers are grassroots officers who have to learn after being ordered by military orders, but do not force them to ask for it. It is extremely rare for Jiang Fu to work hard.

Jiang Fu learned one Chinese character after another with a more difficult journey than on the training ground. He learned to read pictures, make pictures, write military briefings, learn to make training and combat summary, which made him stand out among hundreds of grassroots officers of the Twentieth Army. In two years, he was promoted all the way. Inadvertently, he became the fastest-promoted officer in the Twentieth Army.

Returning from the regiment headquarters to his troops station, Jiang Fu laughed from the bottom of his heart as the soldiers sweating profusely on the training ground, and finally started. Instead of alarming the troops, he returned to his dormitory, picked up a pot of wine, and went to a restaurant outside the station to buy a roast chicken, and walked out with him.

A grave was erected by the stream not far from his residence, which was the place where the crab, the old commander, his savior, was resting.

"Brother Crab, we are going to go to war." Sitting in front of the crab's grave, Jiang Fu raised his neck and took a sip of wine, poured some in front of the grave, tore off a roast chicken leg and placed it in front of the grave.

"I will definitely avenge you this time. I know that the Qin army that attacked us was stationed in Lubin. This time our 20th Army was the vanguard, and our battalion was the first batch of attacking troops."

"I am now the battalion commander! There are thousands of good brothers under my command! Brother Crab, don't worry, compared to two years ago, we are now well-trained and well-equipped. We have many powerful weapons, we have never heard of these weapons two years ago!"

"Brother, I own a set of armor. This armor is specially made. It is only equipped for officers above the battalion. It is very light. A whole set is only over ten pounds on it, but its protection ability is much better than the ones that weigh dozens of pounds before. I heard that one set costs several hundred yuan! So it is impossible to equip every soldier."

"There is also a grenade that looks like a melon, which is a gunpowder weapon. If we had this weapon back then, the Qin army would not have dispersed as soon as it rushed. With it, we would have blown up the number of cavalry for him. Oh, it seems that this weapon had not been developed yet!"

"Brother Crab, we are very powerful now, and we have never been stronger. You don't know. In the past two years, the Qin people have never dared to come out. They can only hide behind and build the cold and fortifications desperately. But no matter how many they have built, it seems to us that there is no way out. There is no way out for a unit that dares to fight in the field. The fierceness of the Qin people in the past is now completely unaware of."

"Brother Crab, I went to Changping some time ago. I also burned incense for your son, burned paper, and bought a pot of wine and poured it there. The King of Han built a grand monument there, which was engraved with the Zhao army soldiers who could find their names. I also reported your son's name, and he was also engraved on it."

"Brother Crab, after I finish fighting Qin, I will retire and go home, find a wife and have several babies, don't worry, I will adopt one of my sons to you, let him pass on the incense for your family. You will give me my life, and I will not let your family sacrifice cigarettes."

Sitting in front of the grave, Jiang Fu took a sip and poured it into the grave, and then he held it in his mouth until a pot of wine was completely drunk. He ate half of a roast chicken, and the other half was neatly placed in front of the crab's grave. Jiang Fu pulled the soil and buried the roast chicken.

Standing up, Jiang Fu put on his military uniform and saluted solemnly, "Brother Crab, I'm going. You have a spirit in the spring. Bless your brother, I will be invincible and defeat you."

Jiang Fu turned around and walked firmly towards the distance in front of the sun.

On June 5, early in the morning, a trace of white fish was revealed in the sky. The 20th Army of the First Military Region of the Han Dynasty suddenly launched an attack on the Lubin defense area of ​​the Qin army. More than 20,000 people from the 20th Army were divided into three assault arrows and launched a massive attack on Xiyangping, Tian Jiaping and Huangshiping.

The 81st Regiment where Jiang Fu was located was mainly attacking Tianjiaping. Tianjiaping was the prominence point of the frontier position of the Qin army's Lubin defense zone and was also the fortress city with the most Qin army stationed. The city was not big, only 200 meters long and only more than 60 meters wide. It was a pure military fortress. It was originally composed of earth and stone. After cement emerged in the Han Dynasty and gradually promoted it to various places, the Qin army also obtained a large amount of cement through various channels and used it to strengthen the fortress. Of course, it was impossible for the Qin army to strengthen the fortress in some key places, such as the Han army, to use steel bars as bones and cement as flesh.

Tian Jiaping blocked the main passage to Lubin, the defense center, while Xiyangping and Huang Shiping are the support for Tian Jiaping Fortress. No matter the size of the fortress or the number of garrison soldiers, they cannot be compared with Tian Jiaping.

The 3rd Battalion of the 81st Regiment led by Jiang Fu grabbed the task of the main merit.

"When the sun rises, our regiment flag will be planted onto the top of the Tianjiaping Fortress." In the regiment headquarters, Jiang Fu defeated several other colleagues who wanted to grab the first attack mission and successfully obtained this mission.

In the early morning, there was a thin mist floating in the Tianjiaping Fortress. Jiang Fu stared at the blurry city wall in the distance. The old veterans' books said that the attacker would attack ten times and surround him five times. If the opponent's fighting will be strong, the price the attacker would have to pay would be several times that of the defenders before he could take it down, but that was just over. Touching the two cold iron guys beside him, Jiang Fu couldn't help but remember what the artillery instructor said, under the powerful power of the artillery, any resistance would turn into ashes under the flames of his anger. Jiang Fu had seen the exercises of the artillery instructors. Even the steel and concrete structure of the great man was bombed out of shape under the bombing of the artillery.

The alarm bell rings on the opposite side, and the shadows can be seen flying for a while. Such a large-scale operation is naturally impossible to hide from the enemy. What's more, the two armies have been confronting each other for so long and have been preparing for war. If there is any slight turmoil, they will be at a close moment.

"Engineering Company breaks the barrier!" Jiang Fu pulled out his command knife and pressed heavily on the ground.

The loud military horn sounded, and the engineers holding various tools hugged their waists and rushed forward like flying. Their mission was to remove the antlers before the fortress, resist horses, and hide some sinister ambush hidden in the grass, fill in the ditches of different depths, and pave the way for the main force's attack.

"The magic crossbow, the cannon move forward, ready to provide cover for the engineer company."

With Jiang Fu's order, the two cannons pulled by the horse began to move forward slowly, pushing forward until they were only about one mile away from Tianjiaping Fortress, and then stopped. This was already the edge of the shooting range of the catapult and crossbows above Tianjiaping Fortress. For artillery, it is easy to attack the enemy at this distance.

The Shenji Crossbow was still moving forward slowly. The range of the Shenji Crossbow was much closer than that of the catapult. They had to move forward to effectively attack the target.

A roar came from the air. Jiang Fu looked up at the sky. Several black stones bounced through the air and smashed to the ground. The ground suddenly appeared in a big pit. The Shenji Crossbow Team just paused slightly and began to advance forward again, but their formation was dispersed even further at this time.

The crossbow began to roar, and more stone bombs fell from the air, hitting the engineers who were waving tools to try to clear obstacles. Some people cried and fell down, and immediately someone stepped forward and dragged the fallen people backwards.

"Architecture, fire the cannon." Jiang Fu roared angrily: "Turtle sons, let you see how powerful we are."

The gunner tried hard to adjust the angle of the artillery, and the gunpowder was filled into the barrel, compacted and pressed, and a solid bullet was loaded into the barrel.

"ignition!"

The torch leaned towards the fuse, and as the fuse burned, the fuse quickly disappeared. With a thunderous roar, a large cloud of smoke suddenly rose up, blocking Jiang Fu's entire vision. The soldiers of the engineer company who were working raised their heads at the fireball in the air.

The fireball passed the Tianjiaping Fortress and flew to the rear. On the position, hundreds of people sighed at the same time.

"Download the firing boundary for five degrees." The cannon leader was unmoved and issued a loud order. The gun ports of the two cannons were lowered, cleared the chamber, filled the medicine, and loaded the ammunition.

"shooting!"
Chapter completed!
