Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

When the shells fired by the 152mm heavy howitzer fell, they directly shattered all of Han Yi's hopes.

Looking at the positions outside the city that were caught in the raging artillery fire, he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

A shell would create a crater with a diameter of five or six meters and a depth of nearly two meters. There would be no survivors within a radius of ten meters, and anyone within a radius of thirty meters would be either dead or injured.

How could their positions and city defenses withstand the bombardment of large-caliber artillery shells?

"Large-caliber heavy artillery... Even the Guiyuan Army in the past didn't have such large-caliber artillery. Where did Jiang Hua get so many of them? What's going on?"

Han Yi couldn't figure it out.

Western powers prohibited the export of large-caliber heavy artillery to ancient warlord forces.

Of course, if the benefits are high enough, it can be bought.

But it has to be a force of the same level as the Northern Frontier Court, the Northern Frontier Army and the Southern Alliance.

Warlords from small places like them couldn't afford to maintain cannons even if they bought them.

After completing the first round of calibration, the artillery began large-scale bombardment.

Shells kept falling like raindrops.

Every explosion was like a sledgehammer hitting everyone's heart.

The eyes of the soldiers hiding in the positions outside the city were filled with panic and confusion.

I could only watch my comrades being engulfed by artillery fire.

Under the covering fire of artillery, their courage was frightened and their morale hit rock bottom.

The bombardment was like the end of the world for the soldiers in the positions outside the city.

For the soldiers on the city wall who witnessed all this, it was the end of the world.

They looked at the outer positions that were caught in continuous explosions and felt the constant vibrations coming from the city walls, and they already felt the power of the large-caliber heavy artillery.

"Sir...Sir, we should retreat. If the artillery fire comes, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."

On the city wall, an old veteran looked at an officer who was peeking out with fear on his face, and said bravely.

Hearing the words of the veteran, the nearby soldiers all turned their attention to the officer.

The officer's face was a little pale at this moment, purely because he was scared.

Now he, the battalion commander, has the highest rank on the city wall.

As for Han Yi and officers above the regimental level, they ran faster than anyone else.

Their leader was hiding behind the city wall at the moment and didn't dare to show his head at all.

Although the officer also wanted to order a retreat, the order had not come down from above. If he dared to order a retreat, he would be the first to die.

"No one is allowed to retreat. Anyone who dares to escape must step over my dead body first."

More than twenty minutes later, the positions outside the city were in ruins, with bullet holes of all sizes scattered everywhere.

All the bunkers and secret bunkers were almost blown up.

After all, it is just a civil structure, not concrete, and cannot withstand the destruction of large-caliber heavy artillery.

"The heavy artillery battalion's fire extended backwards, blowing down the city wall, and the cannon battalion continued to bombard the position."

The fortifications outside the city have been almost destroyed, so there is no need to continue wasting ammunition and time.

As Zhao Qi's order was issued, the heavy artillery battalion's fire began to extend backwards, and the barrage of bullets covered the city wall in an instant.

"Bombardment!"

When the soldiers on the city wall saw the shells coming towards them, fear appeared on their faces.

After the shells fell, the city wall was immediately covered by artillery fire.

After a round of artillery fire, a hole was immediately blown in the city wall.

The soldiers hiding on the city walls suffered heavy casualties immediately.

They still underestimated the destructive power of heavy artillery on the city walls.

Otherwise, they would never dare to leave soldiers guarding the city walls at this time.

After the heavy artillery came out, it was a battle without any suspense.

Under the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery, the city wall of Guyu County collapsed in less than five minutes.

"Order all units of the regiment to attack as ordered."

Just then the scout called.

"Reporting to the commander, a large group of cavalrymen have been spotted fleeing from the east city. There are at least two thousand of them. This should be an enemy cavalry regiment."

A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes when he heard this.

As he expected, the enemy ran away, and from the size of this army, it was not difficult to judge that the one who escaped was Han Yi himself.

"Order the tank regiment to attack quickly and leave them to me."

"Yes!"

The 7rd Tank Battalion of the Tank Regiment is equipped with BT-73 fast tanks, which can reach a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and even the off-road speed can exceed kilometers per hour.

It is much faster than the Panzer IV.

Therefore, the task of pursuit and interception fell on the 3rd Tank Battalion.

The tank battalion equipped with Type 4 tanks followed behind and encircled the breakout troops.

Han Yi was riding a white Japanese horse at the moment. After running for several kilometers, he looked back at the Guyu County behind him, and then continued to gallop forward.

He lost this battle, and lost completely.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

As long as he has guns in his hands, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

As for Beire Province, it is definitely the domain of the Jiang family, and we can no longer stay here.

After returning to Dongsui County to pack up his belongings, he prepared to join the Saibei Army.

"what is that?"

"Oh no! It's a tank! The tank is chasing us!"

Just as they were moving forward, there was a sudden commotion behind them and screams were heard from behind.

Han Yi looked back and was immediately frightened to death.

Not far behind their team, they saw tanks speeding at a much faster speed than them.

"escape!"

Jiang Hua not only has large-caliber heavy artillery, but also rare things like tanks.

At this moment, Han Yi had only one thought in his mind, and that was to run, the faster the better.

He decisively left the cavalry battalion behind to cover the retreat, while he continued to advance with the other troops.

This cavalry unit is still loyal to Han Yi.

They immediately dispersed on the road to block the pursuing 3rd Tank Battalion.

After seeing the defeated soldiers preparing to block the attack, the Third Tank Battalion also began to disperse its formation.

One after another, BT-7 tanks drove down the road and surrounded them in a skirmish line.

When the two sides were about four hundred meters apart, the blocking troops opened fire.

However, their rifles posed no threat to the BT-7 tanks.

The BT-7 fast tank is smaller and lighter than the Panzer IV, weighing only 13.8 tons, but its frontal armor is 22 mm and its sides are 13 mm.

It's not something a rifle can hit.

Their counterattack was met with even fiercer fire.

The BT-7 fast tank raised its 45mm tank gun and continuously fired shells at the crowd.

When approaching within 200 meters, the vehicle's MG34T general-purpose machine guns opened fire, knocking down the enemies that appeared one by one.

The BT-7 fast tank was originally equipped with a DP light machine gun, but Jiang Hua felt that the MG34 general-purpose machine gun had more powerful firepower.

So the DP machine gun was removed and replaced with an MG34 general-purpose machine gun.

At this time, the BT-7 fast tank is a mobile steel fortress, constantly spewing out shells and bullets, reaping lives.

Especially when they rushed into the crowd, they were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, unstoppable.

This rearguard blocking force did not hold back the 3rd Tank Battalion for too long.

Because the Type 4 tanks following behind also caught up.

In less than 20 minutes, the remaining troops were either killed or surrendered.

Then the 3rd Tank Battalion continued to lead the pursuit.

But this time they did not chase straight ahead, but took another route.

They wanted to run ahead of Han Yi through this path and intercept them directly.

As for the Type 4 tank, it continued to pursue along the road.

At this time, the advantages of the BT-7 fast tank, such as its small size, light weight and high speed, were reflected.

Even on a bumpy road, it can still move at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

How could a horse possibly outrun a tireless and fast tank?

When Han Yi and others ran less than 20 kilometers, they were stopped by the rd Tank Battalion at a road intersection.

When Han Yi saw the tank troops blocking his way like a steel wall, his head buzzed and his heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that he couldn't escape this time, but it was also impossible for him to be a prisoner.

"Rush, rush over!"

Han Yi roared through gritted teeth.

"rush!"

Facing the cavalry rushing towards them, dozens of BT-7 tanks from the rd Tank Battalion opened fire.

Faced with the bullets that came like a rainstorm, Han Yi was unsurprisingly riddled with bullets.

The curtain also fell on this small warlord in the northern province.

Next, Dongsui County, Yulong County, Tianshan County, Xilin County and other northern counties were all taken into Jiang Hua's possession.

Since then, all areas of Beire Province north of Chishan County have been recovered, and his territory and population have expanded unprecedentedly.

The total area of the seven counties reaches 7 square kilometers, and the total population exceeds 10 million.

It took him less than five days to recapture these five counties.

This news also spread to the surrounding areas at an extremely fast speed.

The first to receive the news were naturally the neighboring Saibei Army.

When Qi Tianhe, commander of the 630th Regiment, returned to Liaotong, he reported important information about Jiang Hua.

This information also shocked Jiang Yulin, the King of Saibei, and he then directly summoned Qi Tianhe and asked him to report the situation to him in person.

When Qi Tianhe arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, not only was King Jiang Yulin of the Northern Sailing Army there, but also Jiang Xiangyang, the second-in-command of the Northern Sailing Army, Jiang Yulin's sworn brother and the chief steward, and Jiang Jingrui, the young marshal of the Northern Sailing Army.

"Tell us in detail what you saw and heard that day."

Jiang Yulin, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked at Qi Tianhe with an imposing manner and spoke in a deep voice.

Qi Tianhe saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, Marshal!

I happened to be watching the battle outside the city that day......"

Qi Tianhe recounted everything he saw and heard there.

Jiang Xiangyang and Jiang Jingrui also figured out the whole story.

"Father, I've met Jiang Hua once before. He looked weak and insignificant, but I never expected him to have such extraordinary abilities.

Not only did he raise a large army in such a short time, he even managed to acquire dozens of cannons. This guy is quite interesting. How did he do it?

As a famous socialite among the northern warlords, Jiang Jingrui came into contact with many people, so he had also met Jiang Hua.

Jiang Yulin said thoughtfully: "To be honest, I am also interested."
