Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"After passing through the mountain road of Majialing, there is a wide, flat area."

"Tell Hu Changquan that the troops will immediately begin a forced march after passing through the mountain road."

"We must get to the Heidang Mountain area, where Luyang and Jia'an meet, as soon as possible to build defensive fortifications."

"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier immediately accepted the order and left.

After giving the order, Mitsunari looked up at the high mountains and dense ridges on both sides and asked someone to bring him the marching and combat map.

“Majialing is a good location for an ambush.” San Chengjie casually circled the location of Majialing on the map with his pen.

"If the Qian Kingdom's army can cross the Black Mountain, we can arrange an ambush for them here."

"However, the prerequisite is that they have to be able to enter Luyang."

Mitsunari glanced at the marching troops, a glint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes: "The Empire should have taken this step long ago!"

"The people of Qian are simply not worthy of such vast land and resources!"

"The headquarters' plan is still a bit conservative."

"Just as Commander Yamanaka said, we can directly cross the Heidang Mountain and occupy Jia'an."

“There is really no need to build defensive works in the Heidang Mountain area.”

"Offense is the best defense!"

"Moreover, the valiant imperial army has no need for defense on the Qian Kingdom battlefield—we're here to attack!"

"This is a race against the Salo people, a test of speed. Whoever can seize more territory in the shortest time will be the biggest beneficiary of this war..."

"Let's go! Let's go take a look ahead."

"The scenery in Qian Kingdom is quite nice..."

With that, Mitsunari hopped onto his personal vehicle—a military three-wheeled motorcycle.

Several accompanying staff officers quickly mounted their horses and followed...

-------------------------------------

Bang! ! !

In the empty valley, a sniper bullet pierced the sky.

He delivered a precise headshot to Mitsunari, who was speeding all the way to the front of the marching column in a three-wheeled motorcycle!

Just minutes before, Mitsunari had been brimming with confidence, pontificating on his offensive strategies, but before he could even properly appreciate the scenery of the Qian Kingdom, he became the first barbarian officer to fall on the Qian battlefield...

He was also the first person killed in the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces!

The most promising captain of the Qian Kingdom Expeditionary Army, whom the Yi people called the most promising, became a wandering ghost without ever firing a shot.

Almost at the same time that Mitsunari was shot in the head and killed.

The entire valley was filled with the sound of intense gunfire!

Flames erupted all over the mountains and plains as well-prepared firing positions unleashed a barrage of fire down on the 30% brigade and the 7th Cavalry Division below the valley.

Mortars and recoilless rifles were also firing at full speed, with shells landing on the narrow and crowded mountain roads, each explosion resulting in a wave of destruction.

In an instant, grenades thrown from the mountain, artillery shells raining down on the enemy ranks, and a dense, scorching barrage of fire dragged the unsuspecting enemy into a chaotic abyss.

The individual firepower advantage of each soldier being equipped with an STG-44 assault rifle was fully demonstrated at this time.

From this vantage point, facing such a densely packed group, aiming is practically unnecessary; a simple sweep of the arm guarantees a perfect shot.

"Commander, it's the Great Qian Zhenguo Army! Shen Moshen's troops are attacking!"

"The entire mountainside is teeming with enemies!"

"We've been ambushed..." Ren Qingkuan, chief of staff of the 7th Cavalry Division, struggled to pull his frightened warhorse, his voice trembling with fear: "The barbarian intelligence is wrong!"

"The Daqian Zhenguo Army troops have arrived ahead of schedule..."

"Don't mess up!"

"Order the troops to break through at all costs!" Hu Changquan, commander of the 7th Cavalry Division, issued the order without hesitation: "Once we break through the valley, there will be flat terrain ahead."

"The enemy has the high ground; every inch of this place is under their fire!"

"If you want to live, charge forward! Only by breaking through can we survive!"

"Commander! Your attire is too conspicuous. Tear off your epaulets first..." Ren Qingkuan desperately steadied his horse, anxiously saying, "There must be snipers positioned in the valley!"

"They specifically targeted officers! Many officers had their heads cracked open..."

Hu Changquan then noticed that Ren Qingkuan had torn off his major general shoulder insignia.

Upon hearing the reminder, Hu Changquan immediately ripped off his lieutenant general epaulettes.

"Report! The Sancheng Brigade requests our cooperation in attacking both sides of the valley!"

"What a load of bull!" Hu Changquan immediately exploded upon hearing this: "With the Zhenguo Army's firepower so intense, how are we supposed to charge forward!"

"They occupy the high ground and have an absolute advantage in firepower. Charging up the mountain at this time is just plain stupid, isn't it?"

Hu Changquan said angrily, "What kind of blind command is this! This Mitsunari is a fucking idiot too."

"Tell the brothers, forget about that son of a bitch Sancheng Brigade! It was these bastards who led the way!"

"Listen to me, let the main force of the division break through with all its might!"

"The enemy's firepower is too intense. Don't even think about running up the mountain. Our only chance of survival is to break out of the valley..."

It's clear that Hu Changquan has the ability to respond to changes and command effectively.

At the very least, his judgments were quite accurate.

Given the firepower of the Daqian Zhenguo Army, they simply couldn't break through under these circumstances.

At this point, splitting up forces to charge the hilltop would only waste their last chance to break through.

Therefore, under Hu Changquan's decisive action, the 7th Cavalry Division of the Yongchang Independent Army abandoned 30% of its troops and broke through the encirclement with all its might!
