I can use these heavy cannons to smash their turtle shells."

Chief of Staff Lu Qianjin saw General Li Zhenhai's confident look.

He asked: "General Li, are you confident in holding the position?

According to the latest intelligence, reinforcements from the Shu Army will arrive at Jishan Town this morning.

They not only brought a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but also 50,000 reinforcements."

When General Li Zhenhai heard the number of reinforcements from the Shu army, his eyes widened, and then he recovered.

"Chief of General Staff, I am confident that we can hold our position.

I led 7,000 men to attack the Shu army's position, which had only 2,000 to 3,000 men. I only captured it with more than half of the casualties.

There are now 20,000 people in the position and plenty of ammunition.

If all 50,000 Shu troops attack, they will never come back.

I cannot do what the Shu army can do, so I am willing to deal with it through military law."

When Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin saw what General Li Zhenhai said, he quickly waved his hand and said: "There is no need to issue a military order, I believe in General Li's ability.

Who knew that this mountain peak was too small to leave more troops.

The position is too dense, and one cannonball fired by the defenders can cause too great a result.

This is not conducive to the defense of the position. General Li can just move the troops away without complaining."

General Li Zhenhai did have some complaints about this, but he also understood that Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin did this based on the overall consideration of the war situation.

"How could I blame Chief of Staff Lu..."

Before General Li Zhenhai finished speaking, he heard the scream of artillery shells from above the mountain.

He was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound produced by the cannon shells flying in the air from the Shu army's fortress.

"Hide, hide quickly."

General Li Zhenhai dragged Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin to the artillery cave to avoid the shells.

They were not afraid of death, but the general in charge was killed and the position lost its command. It became very difficult to hold the position.

When they arrived at the air raid shelter, General Li Zhenhai immediately picked up the phone.

Before he could speak, the general opposite immediately began to report the current situation.

"This is an artillery shell fired from the north. Reinforcements from the Shu army have arrived. They deployed artillery positions out of sight and launched artillery attacks on our positions.

The artillery staff has calculated the approximate location of the enemy's position through ballistics, and the artillery is organizing a counterattack."

General Li Zhenhai understood the situation of the battle and immediately issued an order.

All troops concentrated their efforts to prepare for the large-scale attack by the Shu army.

The shelling was just a test before the Shu army attacked.

Chief of General Staff Lu Qianjin also sent a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Xu Fei.

Inform the Shu army that reinforcements have arrived and are attacking the northern position.

Commander Xu Fei wanted to contain the Shu army on the frontal battlefield and must not allow the Shu army in Jishan Town to merge with the Shu army reinforcements.

…

Fifteen kilometers north of Jishan Town, Shu General Fan Yingxiong saw the artillery attack after it was completed.

The train immediately moved north on the tracks.

The fortress cannon is too heavy to be dragged by ordinary cars.

They cannot be fixed in one place, as this will inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack by the Swedish army.

It can only be arranged on a flatbed truck, and the recoil of the fortress gun can cause damage to the train and rails through the bracket link.

These fortress guns purchased from the Empire must not go wrong.

Even if Jishan cannot be defended, these valuable fortress cannons can still be used to defend other places.

After the fortress artillery fired a salvo, they immediately chose to retreat. They probably only had this chance to fire the salvo.

General Fan Yingyong looked at the soldiers who had already lined up, and he was preparing to lead his troops to attack Peak No. 9.

The Shu army had planned to take a train directly to Jishan Town.

Now because Peak No. 9 has been captured by the Swiss army, the train can only stop midway.

The limited number of vehicles are all used to transport weapons and ammunition.

The soldiers had no cars to take and had to walk to Peak No. 9.

General Fan Yingyong looked at the smoke rising from Peak No. 9.

This was the masterpiece of the fortress cannon. He only hoped that the fortress cannon could kill more enemy troops so that his attack would not be so difficult in a while.

He has already learned how many casualties the Swedish army suffered when attacking the Jishan Town position.

General Fan Yingying did not expect that the troops under his command would also suffer such heavy casualties.

The Shu army soon arrived at the foot of Peak No. 9.

He looked at the Swiss army on the mountain condescendingly.

Some of them were hiding in some damaged fortifications, which were obviously built by the Shu army.

In one day, there was no way to build more fortifications.

Most of the Swedish troops could only pile up some sandbags.

They hid behind sandbags and let them serve as simple fortifications.

General Fan Yingying immediately ordered the army to launch a probing attack to detect the enemy's firepower.

The Shu army received the order and began to attack Peak No. 9.

They immediately encountered a head-on attack, and the crossfire network formed by the enemy's machine guns made it difficult for the Shu army to advance.

General Fan Yingying frowned tightly when he saw the density of firepower of the Swedish army.

The enemy's firepower density was too strong, and the Shu army would not be able to attack it in a short period of time.

But he must capture Peak No. 9. Peak No. 9 is in the hands of the enemy and poses too great a threat to the Shu army.

General Fan Yingying could only ignore the casualties of the army and force the army to attack the enemy's position.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to defend their position, the Swedish army scattered ammunition as if for free, just to delay the Shu army's attack.

The Shu army launched several charges, but was pushed back by the Swiss army.

General Fan Yingying ordered the formation of an officer death squad, with the officers taking the lead to launch an attack on Peak No. 9.

This had a certain effect, and the Shu army began to pull out the Swiss army's position bit by bit.

But the price paid made General Fan Yongying look livid.

Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the Shu army had already suffered 10,000 casualties.

The most critical point is that all the bravest soldiers in the Shu army have been killed.

The remaining Shu army's fighting will is not as high as that of the previous troops.

On the contrary, seeing the heavy casualties suffered by his colleagues, he became timid.

The attacking troops of the Shu army were hit by fierce enemy artillery fire.

The army suddenly collapsed, immediately dropped its weapons and retreated.

The collapse of the Shu army had a chain reaction, and a large number of attacking armies began to collapse.

General Fan Yingying saw this situation and cursed angrily.

"An army without rigorous training is just a bunch of rabble."

"Yan Baizhi, this idiot, ruined the good situation in one fell swoop."

The morale of the Shu army had obviously collapsed, and General Fan Yingying could only choose to let the army retreat to rest.

When General Li Zhenhai saw the Shu army retreating, his nervous heart immediately relaxed.

The Shu army attacked very fiercely. With their superior firepower, they caused a lot of damage to the Shu army.

But their casualties were not light, and their morale was also shaken.

The key factor that affects the situation of the war depends on which army is more resilient.
