The artillery equipped by the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty was mostly field cannons, which is the cannons we often mention. However, the caliber of the field cannons was mostly 75 mm, and they only belonged to light cannons in terms of caliber, so they were called "field cannons".

Europe, where 72 small-caliber field guns are everywhere, can concentrate hundreds or thousands of heavy guns when they move, may be inconspicuous, but at least China at this time is a very powerful heavy firepower group.

With the sound of cannons, under the attack of 72 field cannons, the ship cannons that were removed from the gunboats quickly disappeared, and several of them even flew into the sky because of the ammunition.

"Beautiful!" Looking at a naval cannon flying into the sky, Yan Guang said excitedly with his hands pounding the sandbag. However, at this moment, the group of guns that continued to fire suddenly stopped.

Although the artillery bombing was very satisfying, Sichuan had very few shell reserves. The Sichuan Arsenal, which had just been put into use, could only produce more than 5,000 75mm shells a year. So after smashing more than 500 shells, Zhu Qinglan had to stop it.

"Can't you just smash more?" Yan Guang felt very confused.

"Governor, I want to smash more, but the reserves of shells are too small. If I continue to smash them, the next battle will probably not be enough..." Zhu Qinglan said apologizing, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Thinking about the numbers counted before the start of the run, Yan Guang had to admit that if he continued to smash, the reserves of shells would probably be used up when he arrived in Chongqing.

"Forget it, this is also a lesson. After the Shu army is settled, you can buy more shells and machines for making shells from the Germans. Always be subject to ammunition so much is not a solution..." Because the Shu army is stuck in Chongqing, Yan Guangkong has over 100 million yuan in funds but can't use it. This is also the place where he holds his breath the most.

Just when Yan Guang was confused about this, Sunil, who was beside him, reminded lightly, "Boss, you can let the infantry regiment rush up to grab the position..."

"Yeah." Yan Guang nodded after receiving the reminder and said to Zhu Qinglan. "Brother Ziqiao, it depends on you next."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely snatch the position from the Shu army as soon as possible." In fact, Zhu Qinglan had wanted to give orders for a long time, but Yan Guang had been struggling with the shells there, which made Zhu Qinglan dare not order without authorization. Fortunately, Sunil's prompt solved the urgent problem, otherwise Zhu Qinglan would not know what to do.

"By the way, let the soldiers bring more grenades." Just as Zhu Qinglan was about to give an order, Yan Guang added.

"Don't worry, Governor, I will ask them to bring more."

——————————

"Damn, men have been impatient for a long time." After receiving the order, Xu Hu, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, threw the big-brimmed hat on the ground, then rolled up his sleeves and shouted to the three battalion commanders under him and more than 2,000 brothers of the entire regiment. "Brothers, the commander of the division has come down, let our regiment occupy the position of the Shu army within one round. I'm asking you now, do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" More than 2,000 officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"Okay." Xu Hu nodded and pulled out his pistol. "The governor treats us well. We can't let the governor down the 10 yuan per month pay for the monthly salary, and of course we can't let the 30 yuan alas. Although the dog-dream protection army in front has changed its name now, we all know what the group of dog-dreams are. Three battalion commanders will take the lead in charge. I want you to take those positions within one round. Whoever dares to be greedy for life or death?" He raised his pistol. "I will waste a few more bullets today."

"I understand!" the officers and soldiers replied loudly.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Hu looked at the three battalion commanders below. "The first battalion commander, the second battalion commander, and the third battalion commander!"

The three battalion commanders who knew their own regiment commander's character quickly replied loudly, "I'm in a humble position!"

"Send three grenades to each brother. When you rush up, just use the grenades to greet those dogs!"

"yes!"

Soon, more than 100 soldiers from the baggage battalion came up carrying wooden boxes filled with grenades. After more than 100 boxes of grenades were divided up by soldiers from the 2nd regiment.

"Okay." Seeing that the soldiers were almost ready, Xu Hu nodded again. "I know that the brothers all envious of the military uniforms the governor and the others wore. To be honest, I am also envious of the military uniforms that the governor and the others wore. Compared with the military uniforms the governor and the others wore, I was not even as good as shit.

But there is no need to envy the brothers. The governor has already spoken, conquered Chongqing and destroyed those damn gods. Every brother in the army will give him a new military uniform!”

"oh!!!"

Xu Hu really boosted his morale. Before he had seen Yan Guang's military uniform, he looked at the monkey version of the military uniform of the patrol battalion, and the soldiers of the new army were still very superior. However, after seeing the military uniforms that Yan Guang wore, he looked at the light blue military uniform he wore and felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

Therefore, after learning that they had new military uniforms after the war, their morale increased a lot.

As for the war, we need to fight hard? We only dealt with the Lulu Protective Army more than a month ago. They knew very well what the group of guys on the other side were. They broke the opponent's position in one round? Weigh the grenades on their waists and they really had a lot of confidence.

"rush!"

With a command, more than 2,000 soldiers rushed up in dense formations.

"It's too dense..." Looking at the soldiers rushing up in a dense formation, Yan Guang frowned in the command post. "If such a dense formation, wouldn't there be a lot of casualties if the other party had a few Maxim?"

Think about the Battle of the Somme 5 years later, with the 240 Maxim on the 42-kilometer front, which cost the British and French coalition forces 60,000 people in one day. That battle was chilling...

"Fortunately, the Shu army on the opposite side did not have machine guns, the number of Martini and Lindenming was very small, and there were not many Kuli guns. However, when facing the Beiyang Army in the future, you will definitely encounter heavy machine guns. It seems that I will discuss with Sunil first to see if I can study the infiltration tactics first."

Just as Yan Guang was thinking about whether to change linear tactics to infiltration tactics, under the firepower of more than 100 machine guns (mostly Madson), the Shu soldiers on the opposite position had no effective resistance except for sporadic counterattacks.

However, the Shu army soldiers hiding in the trenches were not very worried, because they had such an experience when fighting with the Sichuan New Army in the past. The local muskets in their hands were useless, and they could only wait until the other party approached and then shoot, or simply fight with each other. It was precisely through this desperate tactic that they could support them for so long and not be wiped out.

but…

"Strange, what's this thing?" Looking at the overwhelming black shadow, a Shu soldier took out the grenade that was still smoking and said blankly.

Then…

"boom!!!"
