Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 308 The momentum is unstoppable! A great harvest!
Shaolin Luohan Fist emphasizes explosive power in short bursts, with fierce strikes and varied moves.

but,

Chen Jie started with the Vajra Fist and Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and then moved on to the Striking Kick and Iron Arm Fist, among others.

Although his martial arts prowess is not as advanced as Ma Nanshan's.

but,

His spiritual cultivation was a whole realm higher than his opponent's, allowing him to use his spiritual sense to predict and anticipate his opponent's moves, thus steadily suppressing him.

During intense exchanges, Chen Jie was able to accurately predict the direction and angle of the opponent's attack.

Therefore,
Ma Nanshan's defensive weaknesses were easily exposed to Chen Jie.

Then seize the opportunity and strike a fatal blow!

This is the essence of a martial arts duel – momentum!

The momentum is unstoppable!
From beginning to end, the martial arts duel was under Chen Jie's control.

After Ma Nanshan was killed by Chen Jie.

The image of the 'Blood Dragon Jade' kept flashing in his mind.

[Martial Arts Merit Points: +23000!]

[Congratulations on defeating the Dark Force Grandmaster with force! You have been awarded an additional 50000 Martial Arts Merit Points!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title of 'Master of Hidden Strength'! You will also receive an additional 100000 Martial Arts Merit Points!]

Chen Jie was extremely excited when he saw the words flashing on the 'Blood Dragon Jade'.

This martial arts duel actually earned me 173000 martial arts merit points.

Although it's slightly less than the 80 [Martial Arts Merit Points] gained from defeating Reno Gracie, South America's top fighter, in a single boxing match.

but,

This martial arts duel yielded the most basic [Martial Arts Merit Points] ever.

The South American underground boxing tournament 'Hellblood' has launched an additional 'Beast Fighting Mode' and has simultaneously earned titles such as 'King of Titles' and 'King of Hell'!

I suddenly received an extra 70 Martial Arts Merit Points!
This is the most Martial Arts Merit Points Chen Jie has ever earned in the [Otherworld].

He quickly checked the remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] in his mind regarding the 'Blood Dragon Jade'.

hiss--!
Then, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The balance of [Martial Arts Merit Points] is 286000 points.

During this time, Chen Jie had been thinking about how to obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
In the underground boxing world of 'Urban World', he has already swept through three major boxing gambling hotspots.

Southeast Asia, the Netherlands in Europe, and Brazil in South America!
For the time being, no one has dared to challenge him in these three underground boxing meccas.

in addition,

In Mexico and North America's underground boxing scene, entry requirements have recently become very complicated.

Moreover, there haven't been any top-tier boxing tournaments lately, so even if Chen Jie were to participate, the amount of martial arts merit points he would gain would be minimal.

Therefore,
The ways he can obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points] are becoming increasingly scarce.

This time,
He deliberately let Ma Nanshan enter Ximentang's defensive position, just to test it out.

Will I be able to earn [Martial Arts Merit Points] after the martial arts duel?
The final result satisfied Chen Jie very much.

Before this, Chen Jie had tried finding 'prisoners'.

Useless!

The martial arts merit points gained from dueling with 'prisoners' are very few.

You can only gain more [Martial Arts Merit Points] by engaging in duels with opponents on the battlefield.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The distant sound of artillery fire instantly pulled him back to reality.

at this time,

The fighting at the Tongshankou Fortress defensive positions became increasingly fierce.

The heavily armored warhorses were blocked by the heavy machine guns and kept falling.

Da da—da da—!
Concentrate fire!

At this moment, the heavy machine guns began to concentrate their fire, repelling the rebels' charges time and time again.

The heavy machine gun used by Simon was a 'Maxim heavy machine gun' captured from the British Empire.

but,

The bullets, however, were all manufactured by the Simond Arsenal.

This time, Chen Jie prepared over a hundred heavy machine guns to intercept Sun Zhong's rebel army at Tongshankou Fortress.

Once the firepower is concentrated!
The rebels' heavily armored warhorses were quickly destroyed.

The rebels must be driven back 300 meters.

otherwise,

The casualties at Ximentang will continue to increase.

At the beginning, the rebels were too far away, and focusing fire would easily waste bullets.

therefore,

When concentrated fire is used at the most critical moment, the resulting destructive power is terrifying.

At this time,

The heavily armored warhorse was destroyed by concentrated fire from heavy machine guns.

The rebels' elite troops were also driven back more than 100 meters away.

The cannons in Ximentang entered a blind spot and ceased firing.

Everyone was armed with grenades, muskets, bayonets, and so on.

Everyone hid behind the fortifications to avoid being hit by sniper fire.

The heavy machine gun fired wildly, consuming a box of bullets every five minutes on average.

The gun barrels were so hot they were glowing red, and they had to be constantly cooled with water.

The simultaneous firing of hundreds of Maxim heavy machine guns was incredibly powerful.

Tongues of fire shot out, aimed at the rebel soldiers who wanted to continue their advance.

Like an enraged beast, it roared repeatedly.

Once the heavily armored warhorses were destroyed and lost their human shields, the elite rebel troops following behind them became easy targets.

In less than half a minute, the rebels retreated to a distance of 100 meters, lying on the ground and in the trenches, not daring to continue their charge.

Near the fortifications, the ground was littered with piles of corpses.

The rebels never expected that, under the leadership of General Ma Nanshan, they would have already stormed into the defensive fortifications of Ximentang.

but,

Ximentang unexpectedly unleashed such a powerful attack.

They never dared to imagine being hit by a barrage of fire from hundreds of heavy machine guns.

How many heavy machine gun bullets would that consume?

Because the rebels charged at very close range.

Moreover, the valley passage to the Tongshankou Fortress was only so wide, and the rebels' forces were very dense when they charged.

Therefore,
When heavy machine guns fire in concentrated bursts, the hit rate is not low.

With a frenzied barrage, more than five thousand elite rebel soldiers fell.

Especially within about 100 meters of the defensive fortifications, the area was piled up like a mountain of corpses.

The corpses of three thousand heavily armored warhorses lay scattered in the distance, their blood flowing like a river.

All the retreating elite rebels were completely stunned by the concentrated fire of heavy machine guns.

Everyone was lying on the ground, their minds blank, not knowing what to do next.
After the rebels retreated and lay down, the heavy machine guns lost power and soon came to a stop.

Then,

Within Ximentang's camp, mortars began firing sporadically once again.

The enemy troops, who were lying in conspicuous positions, were bombed so badly that they screamed and suffered countless casualties.

hiss--!
At that moment, the rebels finally understood.

Approaching Ximentang's defensive positions was not considered a success.

Breaking through the enemy's camp is extremely difficult!
This series of attacks wiped out 80% of the 10,000 elite troops under Ma Nanshan's command!
The number of people charging forward was reduced to about two thousand.

at this time,

The elite special operations squadron on the flank began to encircle them, attacking from their hiding place.

The rebels were all elite troops under Ma Nanshan's command, originally numbering over 10,000.

During the charge, as the heavily armored warhorses were completely destroyed, their morale plummeted to its lowest point.

at this time,

They all considered retreating and dared not continue the charge.

Although Ximentang also suffered considerable damage and some casualties,

At this moment, everyone's morale reached its peak, and everyone appeared extremely excited.

With military merit within reach, the elite special operations team charged out, brandishing replica AK47 assault rifles and roaring with excitement.

The two sides were not evenly matched in terms of morale, equipment, and protection.

Before launching their charge, the rebels believed they could break into Ximentang's position by using their heavily armored warhorses as human shields.

We will surely be able to crush Ximentang's position and kill them all, just like we did when we attacked the Daqian army before.

but,

The actual situation was unexpected.

Instead of being defeated, Ximentang unleashed a terrifying fighting force.

Whether it's heavy machine guns, hand grenades, or even firearms, their firepower far exceeds that of the rebels.

therefore,

The rebels launched repeated attacks until all their heavily armored warhorses were routed, only to find that they couldn't break through at all.

Simultaneously,

Two groups of men suddenly appeared on either side of the Tongshankou Fortress.

It turned out that Xu Xiaodao and Liu Ergou, after receiving Chen Jie's orders, began to encircle the enemy.

They were well-equipped and fully armed, and after attacking from the flank, they formed an encirclement.

Thump thump—thump thump—!
Gunfire erupted, routing the 5,000 rebel troops who had just rushed to provide support.

The rebels were attacked from three sides and their momentum was unstoppable, causing their formation to collapse.

“Run away—!”

Someone shouted, and the rebels immediately changed direction and retreated.

Hit it with a hammer!
With the heavily armored warhorses destroyed, any further charge by everyone would be tantamount to suicide.

Many who were slow to run were either shot dead on the spot or lay on the ground pretending to be dead, hoping to escape.

but,

Those rebels who ran fast escaped to the main position they had just been on.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, realizing that the army had retreated across the board!

After Ma Nanshan led his elite troops to launch the attack, Ximentang's mortars continued to bombard the rebels' positions in the valley.

Although the barriers on both sides of the valley prevented the mortar shells from landing on the rebels' main positions, the valley provided a barrier.

but,

The shells blasted rocks and soil off both sides of the valley.

If the bombing continues like this, the entire valley position may collapse.

Rocks falling from the valley killed many people.

Although none of Sun Zhonghe's generals were injured, they were covered in dust.

Seeing the rebel positions in complete chaos, all the soldiers began searching for obstacles to avoid being crushed by falling rocks from the blasted rocks.

Sun Zhong was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

And at this moment,
Suddenly, artillery fire came from the rebels' right flank, and it was getting closer and closer.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the rebel positions, a large number of soldiers were killed by mortar fire.

It turned out to be the elite reconnaissance unit of Ximentang, who bypassed the rebel positions from the outside and arrived at the rear of the rebel positions.

They launched an attack from their high vantage point using mortars.

In fact, the elite troops of the reconnaissance company had been taking a roundabout route from the very beginning.

Before luring Ma Nanshan into the defensive fortifications, Chen Jie had already ordered the reconnaissance company to occupy the high ground and wait for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the rebels.

to be frank,
When Chen Jie saw the rebels gather heavily armored warhorses and prepare to charge the fortifications...

He became very careful and cautious, and worried about the defensive fortifications of Ximentang.

Once Ximentang's defenses are completely breached, hand-to-hand combat will commence.

Ximentang did not have much of an advantage over the rebels.

Fortunately, the final concentrated fire from heavy machine guns repelled the rebel charge.

Then,

After the reconnaissance company occupied the high ground, the company commander, Zhu Feng, decisively ordered a first artillery attack on the rebels' main position.

The reconnaissance company had few soldiers and carried a limited number of mortars and shells.

Therefore,
When launching an artillery attack, firepower coverage will naturally not be used.

They positioned twenty mortars on the high ground, more than three kilometers from the rebel positions.

Unlike full-fire coverage artillery bombardment, the reconnaissance company uses an array-style artillery attack.

After the first cannon fired, there was a three-second interval before the second cannon attacked.

In this way, 20 shells are fired in one minute, giving the impression of a continuous artillery barrage.

Moreover, after each cannon fired, the angle had to be readjusted to avoid the same trajectory of the shells.

As a result,
An array of artillery can achieve the effect of one hundred mortars with just twenty.

Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao saw the reconnaissance company begin attacking the rebels' main position.

They charged out from both flanks in a grand display, launching a frenzied attack on the final five thousand rebel soldiers.

Sun Zhong was shocked to see the chaotic main battleground.

He never expected that Ximentang would arrange for men to attack from the outside.

The reconnaissance company occupied the high ground and launched a barrage of artillery fire.

Therefore,
Sun Zhong and the others had no idea how many people were in the reconnaissance company.

He only realized he was completely surrounded after hearing the sound of artillery fire.

After all, with the overwhelming barrage of artillery fire, he felt that his intelligence must be wrong.

Just as he was observing through his binoculars, he discovered that tens of thousands of troops suddenly rushed out from both flanks of the Tongshankou Fortress.

Commanders Meng Ying and Lin Rui finally arrived at this moment.

As arranged by Chen Jie, they were stationed ten kilometers away from the Tongshankou Fortress.

Upon hearing the sound of artillery fire, they dared not delay and rushed to provide support.

However, by this time, the rebels' heavily armored warhorses and Ma Nanshan's elite troops had already been defeated.

Sun Zhong was completely stunned when he saw this scene.

The information is wrong!

Unexpectedly, the Daqian army had an ambush and external reinforcements.

in fact,

If Sun Zhong could calm down at this moment, with his main force of over 60,000 troops, he might not be unable to launch a fierce counterattack against Ximentang.

only,
With the reconnaissance company's artillery barrage and the appearance of 10,000 troops under Meng Ying and Lin Rui.

The entire rebel position was thrown into complete chaos.

Sun Zhong's thoughts were in disarray, and he was no longer able to organize his troops for a counterattack.

Meanwhile, the elite special operations squadrons on both flanks of Ximentang routed the newly arrived 5,000 elite rebel troops.

The rebels' morale was crushed, and the scene was chaotic.

At this very moment, the remaining troops under Ma Nanshan's command, numbering less than a thousand, retreated back to their main positions.

Liu Ergou, Xu Xiaodao, and other special operations troops pursued relentlessly, unleashing a fierce barrage of fire from assault rifles and heavy machine guns.

This was a siege launched by Ximentang against the entire Tongshankou Fortress position.

Cut, dismember, detour!

The rebels were unable to fight any longer and could only retreat continuously.

Sun Zhonghe and his generals knew that the situation was hopeless and that if they continued fighting, their entire army would likely be wiped out.

This battle was a complete defeat!

Sun Zhong truly deserves to be called a general with extremely rich combat experience.

He was decisive and without any hesitation, immediately ordering his troops to retreat across the board.

Following his order.

The rebels changed direction and retreated towards Tongshan County.

As they retreated, Japanese field artillery and heavy machine guns, which were lying in ambush a kilometer away, opened fire on Ximentang's pursuing troops, forcing Ximentang's army to retreat.

In less than half an hour.

The rebels' main position was left with some corpses and wagons that they couldn't move in time, and the surrounding area became quiet.
