"This? How is this possible? How can the artillery fire of the Xinhua Army be so fierce?" Song Fuliang was stunned as he watched his soldiers be swallowed by the fierce artillery fire! This was the first time he had seen such a scene in more than 20 years. The attack of tens of thousands of elite Vietnamese soldiers was so vulnerable in front of the Xinhua Army!

"General! It's the Xinhua Army's navy! The warships anchored on the sea are bombarding us violently!" An officer of a Vietnamese army reported to Song Fuliang. Obviously, this was at least a bombardment of hundreds of cannons. The Xinhua Army's army had just begun to land, and it was impossible to move so many cannons to the shore. If the fierce shelling was attacked, it could only be from warships at sea. However, the range of the Xinhua Army's naval guns still shocked the Vietnamese army! Each guard of the Vietnamese Army also had two cannons, and ten cannons in one battalion! However, compared with the Xinhua Army's cannons, this old-fashioned bore gun was completely garbage!

"Retreat!" Helplessly, Song Fuliang had to order to retreat. Otherwise, under the fierce shelling of the Xinhua Army, no matter how many troops there were, it would not be enough to die.

Under Song Fuliang's order, the Vietnamese army began to retreat! Tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops had only been withdrawn for more than 6,000 people. In just half an hour, so many troops were lost. Song Fuliang was very depressed. He no longer knew how to explain it to Mingming Emperor Nguyen Phu Hsin! Similarly, the strength of the Xinhua Army was beyond their expectations. Originally, senior generals of the Vietnamese army such as Song Fuliang all believed that although the Xinhua Army was powerful, the Vietnamese Beijing soldiers were not bad. Even if there was a gap, the gap would not be too big. But now it seems that the gap between the two sides is completely different!

The Vietnamese army's active retreat allowed the Xinhua Army to land with peace of mind! At 9 a.m., the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army completed the landing. All 6 infantry battalions and one artillery battalion were landing! At this time, Major General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations of the General Staff, issued an order to attack! Although the port is currently under the full control of the Xinhua Army, this landing ground is relatively weak and the depth is not enough. If the Vietnamese army counterattack at night, it is likely to suffer heavy damage. After all, at night, the navy cannot provide firepower support to the landing army. Otherwise, it is easy to cause accidental injuries. Therefore, it can only send more troops as much as possible to the landing ground, and at the same time expand the landing ground to form a more favorable defensive depth!

At 9:15 am, Brigadier General Zhang Wei, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army, led his army to launch an active attack on the Vietnamese army. The brigade's artillery battalion violently bombarded the positions of the Vietnamese army. Although the Vietnamese army had forty artillery guns, these old-fashioned bore guns had a maximum range of less than one or two kilometers, and they could not reach the artillery positions of the Xinhua Army. Once fired, they would be found by the Xinhua Army's artillery, which would attract fierce shelling!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense shells exploded in the Vietnamese army, and the people were overturned. The Vietnamese army did not like the Xinhua Army, and they had explored a set of tactics suitable for modern warfare. Their tactics were more like the infantry phalanx of Western countries. There were shotgun soldiers in the middle and spear soldiers around them. As for the construction of fortifications, it was even more blank. This directly caused the Vietnamese army to suffer heavy losses due to the lack of fortifications when facing the fierce artillery attacks of the Xinhua Army. Often, the infantry formation formed by a guard quickly collapsed in the artillery attack. At this time, the infantry of the Xinhua Army had not even launched an attack!

The half-hour shelling caused heavy losses to the Vietnamese army, but even more serious was that morale dropped very quickly! If it weren't for the supervision team guarding behind, some Vietnamese troops might have turned around and fled!

Afterwards, the attack of the Xinhua Army began! Brigadier General Zhang Wei invested 4 of the six infantry battalions in his hands at once. The remaining two were used as reserves. The three thousand Xinhua Army launched an attack on the Vietnamese army in a dispersed formation. Moreover, before the Vietnamese army completely collapsed, the Xinhua Army's attack speed was not fast, but it seemed to deliberately maintain the distance between the two sides! After all, the Xinhua Army's rifle range is a great advantage. Keeping distance can maximize this advantage. If this advantage is lost, the combat power of the Xinhua Army will be greatly reduced!

"Is this the new tactic of the Xinhua Army to defeat foreigners?" Song Fuliang looked at the attack tactics of the Xinhua Army lined up in a scattered line from afar, and was a little puzzled. Does the Xinhua Army know that musketeers must be concentrated to ensure the strength of their firepower? Dispersed, although casualties can be reduced, but this is also easy to be defeated because of the insufficient firepower! Song Fuliang was a little suspicious. If the Xinhua Army defeated the Spanish Expeditionary Force with this tactic, the Spanish Expeditionary Force would be a little too trash!

Soon, Song Fuliang knew that he was wrong and was a big mistake! The performance of the Xinhua Army's flying fish rifle completely offset the disadvantage of this formation. Even the scattered line is enough to ensure the strength of firepower. In addition, the mortars that follow the infantry and the grenades carried by the infantry can provide powerful firepower support for the infantry when attacking! These are useless for the Vietnamese army!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" When there were still four hundred meters away from the Vietnamese army, the mortars of the Xinhua Army stopped and set up the mortars to fire at the Vietnamese army at the maximum rate of fire! The maximum rate of fire of the Pili mortars has reached ten rounds per minute. Such a rate of fire makes other cannons beyond the reach. Unfortunately, the power of the Pili mortars is a little weak. The research institute of the Xinhua Army has begun to develop more powerful explosives to replace black gunpowder. If successful, it must

Of course, the power of various weapons of the Xinhua Army will be further improved! In addition, the development of larger-caliber mortars. The 60mm caliber mortar can only be regarded as light mortars. There are also larger-caliber 80mm medium-caliber mortars and 120mm heavy mortars, which are also under development. However, due to the materials, the progress is not fast, but it is estimated that there will be one to two years left at most, and these weapons can be equipped with the Xinhua Army! At that time, the combat power of the Xinhua Army will soar again!

The Vietnamese army suffered heavy shelling from the Xinhua Army, which once again caused them to suffer heavy losses! It had been ravaged by the Xinhua Army's 75mm field artillery before, but this time it was hit by the storm again, causing the Vietnamese army to almost collapse!

"Where are our artillery? Open fire! Kill those Xinhua troops!" Song Fuliang shouted in anger!

Soon, forty artillery hidden by the Vietnamese army opened fire one after another. What makes people speechless is that the shells fired by these artillery are actually solid shells. After the shells are fired, they bounce on the ground and rely on huge kinetic energy to kill the enemy.

Some of the more unlucky Xinhua soldiers were hit on the spot, and their entire bodies were beaten into two pieces by shells, and their deaths were very miserable!

Fortunately, after the Vietnamese artillery opened fire, they were exposed. The artillery battalion behind the Xinhua Army quickly suppressed the Vietnamese artillery! Although the Xinhua Army's artillery battalion had only 24 75mm field artillery guns, the rate of fire per minute was far stronger than that of the Vietnamese artillery! In less than ten minutes, the artillery fire of the Vietnamese artillery was suppressed. Forty artillery guns, more than half of the artillery were lost, and the artillery was also seriously injured. They had to stop continuing the artillery! At this time, the Xinhua soldiers crawling on the ground started attacking again! The Xinhua Army was only dozens of people killed by the Vietnamese artillery!

When the soldiers of the Xinhua Army approached less than 300 meters of the Vietnamese army, they had already entered the effective range of the flying fish rifle! However, the gunship of most soldiers cannot guarantee that they can accurately hit the enemy at this distance!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The soldiers of the Xinhua Army opened fire one after another. They advanced while shooting and began to shoot the Vietnamese army with powerful firepower!

"Breaking fire at such a distance? Are these Xinhua troops wasting bullets?" Song Fuliang said strangely. But then, seeing the Vietnamese army keep falling to the ground, he had no words! Obviously, the Vietnamese army was shot and killed!

"Damn it! How could the Xinhua Army's rifle range be so far?" Song Fuliang yelled. This was also the thought of the Vietnamese soldiers who were shot and killed before their death.

The Xinhua Army of four infantry battalions was advancing steadily with the scattered line. Relying on the range and speed of fire of the flying fish rifle, the Xinhua Army firmly occupied the absolute upper hand. The Vietnamese army was no match for the Xinhua Army at all!

Although, as the elite troops of Vietnam, their fighting will be very strong! However, even the strong fighting will gradually disappear in the face of huge casualties and finally collapse. This is how the Vietnamese army is now! When the comrades around them are shot and killed one by one, the Vietnamese army begins to collapse. At the beginning, the supervising team can still stop it, but when more and more soldiers start to escape, the supervising team is powerless!

"Retreat!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Song Fuliang had to order a retreat! If this continues, the Vietnamese army will suffer greater casualties!

The retreat of the Vietnamese army soon turned into a defeat. The 1st Brigade of the New China Army launched a pursuit and chased until it was only three kilometers away from Hue before stopping. In front of it, the Vietnamese army was heavily guarded by the heavy troops. If we continue to chase, the 1st Brigade of the Army will be slightly insufficient! (To be continued...)
