The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Director, Feng's headquarters called. Just now, the Independence Army launched an attack on Zhijiang Province. The fierce artillery fire was so intense that they couldn't withstand it at all. The defensive positions they painstakingly constructed were instantly blasted open by the enemy!"

"Also, the Independence Army's ground offensive power is too strong. Their tank units are invincible and have no rivals. Ordinary weapons and ammunition are simply unable to break their defenses. The situation on the scene is extremely stalemate, and the Feng faction is constantly seeking support!"

In the warship's conference room, the assistant brought the latest intelligence and quickly reported the situation on the front line.

To be honest, he was also shocked when he first saw it. He didn't expect Zhang Ye to be so brave that he dared to take the initiative.

"call……"

Wells, who was staring at the shipyard, let out a breath and cursed angrily.

"See? These losers don't have any other skills. They just ask for help when they encounter a little difficulty."

"Why is the Independence Army so powerful and invincible?"

"Their equipment is much better than Feng's troops, and the individual soldiers' equipment has also been significantly improved."

The assistant thought about it and attributed the problem to the equipment.

Apart from these, he really couldn't think of any other differences.

"Humph, an incompetent general can tire out the entire army!"

Wells snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt, and ordered.

"Notify the Feng faction. They can retreat, but they cannot collapse. Once the Nationalist Army arrives, the two sides will unite and rebuild their defensive positions. We must not let the tanks break through easily!"

His idea was simple. The heavy brigade of the independent army was the trump card. If it could be trapped in the battlefield of Zhijiang Province and unable to escape, the battle in Huishan and Shandong would be much easier.

"Report, a telegram has arrived from Feng Clique headquarters: their troops stationed in Phoenix City were attacked by the Fengbei Army and are currently unable to withdraw and attack Donglu Province!"

Just as Wells was planning how to adjust the current situation, another urgent telegram arrived, which once again dealt a heavy blow to his depressed mood.

"The Fengbei Army only has a hundred thousand troops stationed in the capital. Excluding the defensive forces transferred to the northern frontier, there are less than sixty thousand left to fight. What the hell is Cao Xin doing?"

Wells was almost pissed to death by these bastards when he heard this.

Apart from anything else, Feng's garrison in Zhili Province exceeded 100,000 troops, and Phoenix City was also home to its main force. As a result, the other side only dispatched 30,000 to 40,000 people, and he had to suspend his attack on Donglu.

This is fucking bullshit!

"Inform Cao Xin that if the battle with Dong Lu hasn't started within three hours, he won't have to fight!"

These bastards are usually very obedient when they need material aid, but when it comes to actually working hard, they become more cunning than the other.

Do you really think everyone else is a fool?

……

As night fell, the clock pointed to nine-thirty.

Twenty kilometers away from the Chuzhou coastline, there is a small but mysterious island.

In the center of the island, an ancient lighthouse stands quietly. Time has left deep and shallow marks on it, but it has not affected its majesty and solemnity at all.

At the top of the lighthouse, the bright and dazzling light constantly scans back and forth at the situation on the sea, like a tireless eye, always alert to any possible danger or abnormality.

Wow…

The waves hit the shore, making frequent and intense sounds.

Above the lighthouse, the soldiers who were carefully observing the sea suddenly saw several dark ships not far ahead, advancing rapidly along the waterway.

“He’s really here!”

The soldier looked solemn, patted his sleeping comrade beside him and reminded him.

"Don't sleep anymore, send a message to the shore! The foreign devils are really coming!"

"Huh?" Another young man heard the sound, got up in a daze, picked up the telescope on the ground, observed carefully for a moment, and couldn't help muttering.

"These bastards are so brave! They just come in so brazenly."

"It's a good thing you came. If you don't come, who will take care of the heavy artillery positions?"

The soldier hurriedly took out the small radio he had prepared and transmitted the exact coordinates and the speed of the other party's ship to the shore.

They don't have remote positioning equipment and can only make calculations using this ancient method.

As for whether we can hit these foreign devils, it depends on whether the artillery fire on the shore is dense enough.

Soon, the heavy artillery position, which had been waiting in the middle of the night, received the approximate position of the enemy and immediately started loading and firing, striving to carry out the first round of bombing in the shortest time possible.

Faced with this relatively careless bombing method, the longer the launch time, the greater the possibility that the other party will change its course and deviate from the bombing point.

Fortunately, today's batch of heavy artillery was requisitioned from the Qizhou Arsenal. All of them have been improved and upgraded. Not only has the range increased to 30,000 meters, but the accuracy has also been greatly improved. It is enough to be comparable to the main gun of the Eagle Sauce, and even in terms of power, it will be a bit stronger.

At this moment, time waits for no one. Yao Kuanyi, the chief commander on the battlefield, came to the artillery position in person. Looking at the long line of heavy artillery in front of him that seemed to have no end, he couldn't help but grin.

"Three hundred long-range heavy artillery pieces, direct carpet bombing, let alone warships, even a mountain can be flattened!"

"We have already determined the enemy's route, so we should seize the opportunity to attack."

The chief of staff was quite reliable. He knew the importance of this mission and stayed by the side, constantly reminding people.

"If the enemy takes action first and really blows up the Marshal's shipyard, we will be court-martialed."

"I understand, I know what's going on!"

Yao Kuanyi nodded repeatedly, then looked at the soldier giving the order not far away and shouted softly.

"Lock your position on your own. All units don't need to ask for instructions. Complete a base as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the sound, the soldier giving the order immediately waved the flag in his hand, not daring to delay for even a moment.

The common counting unit of the Independent Army’s heavy artillery battalion, one basic number of artillery shells is fifty rounds!

Three hundred heavy artillery pieces mean fifteen thousand artillery shells.

If we talk about the effect of ground attack, 15,000 artillery shells are enough to blow a small county town into a basin.

Even if the shells hit the sea, these guys will not feel good. Based on a hit rate of 0.5%, 75 large-caliber shells can easily blow the six warships to pieces.

"The first battalion has finished loading and is ready to fire!"

"The second battalion has finished loading and is ready to fire!"

"The third battalion has finished loading and is ready to fire!"

"The fourth battalion has finished loading and is ready to fire!"

……

As reports of completed loading sounded one after another, the entire heavy artillery position, fifteen artillery battalions, and three hundred large-caliber howitzers raised their proud heads, ready to go!

"fire!"

Yao Kuanyi took the command flag handed to him by the soldier, waved it violently, and roared with all his might.

Bang bang bang! ! !

At the command, loud noises came one after another, resounding through the sky like thunder in summer!

As the shells were fired, streaks of flame shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the dark night sky.

The deafening sound spread in all directions like a tidal wave. Even people at the back could clearly hear the chilling roar.

At the same time, the ground began to tremble violently. People could clearly feel the ground beneath their feet shaking constantly, as if a deep crack would appear at any time and swallow everything in.
