Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

After receiving the telegram, Liu Changyi, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Second Division, immediately ordered: "Gather all the grenade launchers in the regiment and the soldiers who are best at throwing grenades."

"Attack with the grenade launcher first, then use the grenade to clear the way. I want to take down the opponent's position as quickly as possible."

Under the command of Liu Changyi, the troops moved quickly. With the bombardment of grenade launchers and the use of grenades to clear the way, the 4th Regiment, which had suffered heavy losses in the previous firefight, collapsed.

The troops of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division successfully rushed to the position, eliminated the remaining resistance, and took prisoners.

At the same time, in Qingshan City.

Zhu Yaoxiang left a platoon of troops on each of the three city walls: north, east, and south. Because the troops of the Second Regiment of the First Division outside the city did not attack the city, it was very easy for one platoon to defend.

Of course, the soldiers in these three platoons did not know that they had been abandoned by Zhu Yaoxiang.

When the west gate was opened, two companies of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division outside the city immediately became alert and prepared for defense.

Zhu Yaoxiang led more than 1,800 people and rushed directly to the position. Although the enemy was outnumbered, the two companies of the Second Regiment had dug a simple trench outside the city.

"Fight." The two company commanders gave orders to their soldiers respectively.

Then gunshots rang out, and more than 47 soldiers hid in the trenches, using light and heavy machine guns and AKs to shoot at the attacking Zhu Yaoxiang's troops.

Under the flying bullets, soldiers of Zhu Yaoxiang's troops kept falling down. In just a few breaths, more than a hundred people fell on Zhu Yaoxiang's side.

Zhu Yaoxiang was secretly shocked by the firepower of Fang Ji'an's troops, and at the same time ordered: "Break out to the south along the city wall, and break out as many as you can."

Although his side had more people and the other side had only 400 people, Zhu Yaoxiang wisely chose to retreat under the powerful firepower of the other side.

The two companies of the Second Regiment had only 400 people, so they were all concentrated in the front, and not many people were deployed on the flanks.

Under the powerful firepower of 400 soldiers, Zhu Yaoxiang's troops ran wildly around the city wall to the south for more than ten minutes before they were all out of the attack range of the second regiment's soldiers.

Of course, in just over ten minutes, Zhu Yaoxiang left behind nearly a thousand corpses along the way.

After Zhu Yaoxiang left the attack range, the two company commanders of the Second Regiment gathered together. One of them was named Wang Tieniu and the other was named Wei Congjun.

Wang Tieniu was originally a member of the Xinyuan County militia, but was later spotted and joined the training class of the New Army Academy.

Wei Congjun's original name was Wei Ergou. He was a native farmer in Xinyuan County. Later, when Fang Jian was recruiting soldiers, Wei Ergou joined the army at the instigation of his fellow villager Wang Tieniu.

Because Wei Ergou was quick-witted, he also entered the military academy training class. After learning to read in the army, he changed his name to Wei Congjun.

Wang Tieniu said in a muffled voice: "The enemy is running fast. Ergou, their main force has escaped. You should lead your troops into the city immediately and take over the city."

"Brother Tieniu, my name is Wei Congjun now." Wei Congjun said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Tieniu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, got it, Ergou."

"Brother Tieniu, will you come into the city with me?" Faced with Wang Tieniu's address, Wei Congjun felt tired and helpless.

Wang Tieniu said coldly: "I am going to chase this unit. Brothers from the first company of the first battalion, follow me."

After he finished speaking, Wang Tieniu took the lead and chased towards the place where Zhu Yaoxiang fled. The soldiers of the first company of the first battalion had no choice but to follow him.

Wang Tieniu was not impulsive. Zhu Yaoxiang's troops were in a panic as they were fleeing in a hurry.

After they have escaped for a distance and see that there are no pursuers, they will inevitably take a rest. At this time, if our troops catch up with them, we will definitely leave a large number of them alive, even if we don't completely wipe them out.

"Brother Tieniu..." Wei Congjun shouted helplessly a few times behind him, but Wang Tieniu turned a deaf ear to him.

Wei Congjun had no choice but to lead his troops into the city and lead them to capture the remaining three city gates.

When the soldiers left behind by Zhu Yaoxiang saw the enemy appearing behind them, most of them chose to surrender, with only a few resisting.

When Wang Ming, the head of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division, heard that Qingshan City had been captured, he was a little confused: "What? Qingshan City was captured?"

"What's going on?" His troops haven't started the attack yet.

The regiment staff officer was speechless and said, "Zhu Yaoxiang led his troops to escape from the west gate. One company outside the west gate went to chase Zhu Yaoxiang, and the other company entered the city and occupied it."

"Zhu Yaoxiang ran fast. How many of them escaped?" Wang Ming asked.

"Nearly 2,000 people fled the city, and nearly 1,000 were killed by the 1st and 2nd companies of the 1st Battalion while fleeing. Afterwards, the captain of the 1st company led his troops in pursuit."

Wang Ming said worriedly: "Send the third battalion to support the first company of the first battalion. No matter whether we can defeat Zhu Yaoxiang's troops or not, we must ensure the safety of the first company of the first battalion."

"Yes, Commander." The regimental staff officer saluted and went to arrange support from the third battalion.

After the regiment chief of staff left, Wang Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Your five regiments besieged 10,000 people and fought for a long time, but my one regiment took down Qingshan City without any effort. I am more powerful, right?"

At this time, on the battlefield at Zhu Yaoxiang’s military camp, Deputy Division Commander Zhao Zhengxun led a company and stayed at the command post.

Troops have already arrived from the north and west, and fighting has already broken out outside the headquarters.

"Commander, I have tried my best. I will repay you in my next life." Zhao Zhengxun muttered to himself while sitting in the chair of the command center, then took out a pistol and pulled the trigger, pointing it to his temple.

After a gunshot, Zhao Zhengxun slowly fell into the chair.

Zhao Zhang, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division, and Fang Weian, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division, walked into the command center and saw Zhao Zhengxun's body.

Fang Weian said: "He is a man, give him a good burial."

Soldiers immediately stepped forward and buried Zhao Zhengxun.

Zhu Yaoxiang and his companions fled for more than ten miles, and most of them were exhausted and out of breath. Zhu Yaoxiang could not run anymore, so he just found a place to sit down.

"Brothers, take a break first. The enemy won't be chasing us."

After receiving Zhu Yaoxiang's order, the remaining soldiers found a place to sit or lie down.

Seeing the seven or eight hundred soldiers who had escaped with him, Zhu Yaoxiang couldn't help but feel sad. All his years of hard work were lost in one day.

Fortunately, he did not bring his wife and son with him, otherwise they might not have been able to escape from the gun.

Just after a short break, gunshots rang out and someone shouted, "Surrender and you won't be killed."

"Hold your head with your hands, and get down on the ground, or we'll shoot."

Zhu Yaoxiang was frightened when he heard the noises coming from all directions. He was unwilling to surrender and said to the guards around him, "Let's go."

After Zhu Yaoxiang and about twenty guards escaped, more than one or two hundred soldiers followed them.

The remaining soldiers on the spot squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads. After the previous attack, they no longer had the strength to run and could only choose to surrender.

Wang Tieniu led his troops to surround them from both sides. Seeing the soldiers on the spot cooperating so well, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Our side was very tired after the long march, and there were only two hundred people, more than five hundred of whom surrendered on the spot. If the other side resisted, our side would be in great trouble.

"The first row goes to confiscate their weapons." Wang Tieniu ordered.
