Chapter 302 The Battle of the Ancient Mountains (6)
The 3rd Battalion of the 16th Brigade of the Black Hawk Army not only did not put their military flags on the top of the ancient mountain, but was directly destroyed.
Ten explosive packs were suddenly thrown out with the simple ancient catapult of the Kingdom, taking away the lives of 170 to 80 Black Hawk Empires. There were absolutely no more than ten Black Hawk Empires who could escape from the No. 1 position.
Although Zhou Wei, including Zhou Wei, although he fell down at the first time, unfortunately, the landing point of an explosive pack was only seven or eight meters away from him. In front of the huge air wave, Zhou Wei's small body was like a leaf that was lifted away more than twenty meters away. What's more unfortunate is that Zhou Wei, who was just in a faint, just landed on the steel plate on the top of the castle that was blown away by a 240MM howitzer.
The Black Hawk Army Captain's body was almost cut into two halves by the steel plate, like a flag made of a human body.
"Bastard, bastard, order the heavy artillery brigade to fire, fire, and kill them." Yu Jia threw the telescope far away, and the muscles on her face twitched violently and roared.
"But there are wounded people on it, and they are not dead yet." Major Fang, the captain of the 3rd Brigade, questioned his boss's order for the first time.
"Major Fang, do you think your stupid subordinates can come back? The kingdom people will not let them go." Yu Jia's eyes shot out cold light, and she glared at the subordinate who had previously made him happy and said coldly.
Yu Jia was actually right. Since the 4th Brigade was killed in a collective battle, the two kingdom soldiers in front of Anwupo Pass knew that this battle was a situation of dying. The Black Hawk Army did not want to let a kingdom defender. Similarly, the kingdoms would not let any chance to kill the Black Hawk Empire.
The so-called international law that should not be traumatized against prisoners who have lost their ability to resist is nothing more than a joke in such a battle that no one will obey.
In fact, even if the commanders of the two armies want to abide by it, they cannot abide by it. Not only are the two armies already killed, but the actual situation does not allow it. Who will have extra troops to take care of the prisoners? There are also supplies. Not only the supply difficulties of the Kingdom army, but the Black Hawk Army, which has always had weak logistics capabilities, is not as powerful as imagined. Who will use the few supplies to the prisoners?
Zhou Shiyu ordered that the bandits in the Death Company who cleaned up the battlefield could be stabbed with military spears on the body of each Black Hawk Army that could be seen, without any intention of catching prisoners.
Now they are a lonely army, and the Black Hawk Army's plan does not mean to leave a few survivors. Since that's the case, how can you still let you live? The hidden beast nature of the soldiers of the Death Army is naturally released to the greatest extent.
Xiao Qing received a report on the Battle of the Ancient Mountains ahead. The two infantry squadrons could return to the position at the foot of the mountain alive, but only 100 people, and 300 were left on the kingdom's position. His head was stunned. If it weren't for Xu Haiming, the division commander of the division beside him, he would probably have added a lieutenant general commander of the Black Hawk Army who was angry to death on his face.
"Shame, this is the shame of the Eighth Division, this is the shame of the Empire. Yu Jia, this idiot, should go to the military court." Shaking his head and trying to calm down, Xiao Qing's face flushed and roared.
Xiao Qing's crazy roar made the 8th Division command quiet and terrifying. No one dared to persuade the division commander to spit out his hair and bearded and angry lions. 300 imperial soldiers were still killed in front of the enemy's positions under the cover of a heavy artillery brigade and an artillery gang. This was a result that almost every commander could not accept.
Yu Jia was quite tactful and knew that Xiao Qing must be furious at this moment. After waiting for ten minutes, he personally ran to the division command center ten miles away to apologize.
Xiao Qing, who had calmed down, did not do anything to Yu Jia. In fact, he could not impose any substantial punishment on an Imperial Army major general, which was beyond his right.
"Major General Yu Jia, there is no need to say anything about apologizing. Next, I hope to see the warriors of the 16th Brigade can wash away the shame. The Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 8th Artillery Corps will continue to support you with all their strength. Before dark, I hope to see the Imperial Army flag planted on the top of that mountain. Before the military flag is planted on the top of the mountain, you don't have to report the number of casualties to me. If all the soldiers die, then the squadron leader will come to the squadron leader. If all the squadron leader dies, then the squadron leader will come to the division command center. If all the squadron leader dies, Yu Jia, you should cut off your majesty and apologize to Your Majesty!" Xiao Qing said coldly and gave the brigade commander who stood in front of him with a grim expression, and turned his head out of the division command center.
Even Liu Lang did not expect that the Black Hawk Army would be so decisive about attacking the next small hill. His original intention was to make the death-death company stationed in Gushan and prevent the Black Hawk Army from using the height of the ancient mountain to fire artillery on the three positions of Anwupo, and even restrain some of the Black Hawk Army and make it dare not let go of the attack.
In fact, no one on both sides expected that the most tragic battle at the Anwupo Pass broke out on the first day. A reinforcement company tenaciously resisted the siege from a brigade of the Black Hawk Army, a heavy artillery brigade and an artillery gang.
The first military order from Yu Jia, who had a white cloth strip wrapped around her head and her chest exposed, was that the captain of the 3rd brigade, who had caused great shame to the Imperial Army, led his 400 remnants to launch a decisive attack on Gushan.
The Black Hawk Army's heavy artillery brigade was spared to vent its anger at the top of the mountain over and over again. According to the statistics of the Black Hawk Army's logistics officer after the war, on the first day alone, the heavy artillery brigade fired 1,100 grenades at the small position on the ancient mountain, and the 36 mountain cannons of the 8th Artillery Regiment fired two base shells.
It can be said that from noon, the two positions on the top of the ancient mountain have almost disappeared, and the soil on the entire top of the mountain is soft. With one foot down, the stone powder and soil that were blown into powder can bury a person's ankles.

The Black Hawk Army of the 16th Brigade attacked the top of the mountain over and over again under the command of Yu Jia, who was standing in the cold wind with a command knife with his bare chest and frost on his face. After being repelled, there was a bombardment and then attacking again.
The first 3rd brigade, which was ordered to attack to the death for several hours, had not many people who could still move again. From the captain of the brigade, Major Fang, more than 500 officers and soldiers were killed in battle, and seventy were seriously injured. There were no minor injuries. The soldiers who dared to retreat without authorization were shot and killed by the supervisory team at the foot of the mountain.
The entire 3rd brigade can be said to have basically been finished. Apart from some special troops, only a few dozen seriously injured people were breathing.
On the other hand, even here is actually at the end of the battle.
Just now, the Black Hawks attacked again, and a violent explosion sounded again on the top of the mountain. All the soldiers who could breathe and even hid back into the tunnel.
Zhou Shiyu was wrapped in bandages and was staggering in the tunnel to patrol the soldiers' condition. He knew that he had ten minutes left. After ten minutes, he would take everyone else out of the tunnel and continue to block the Black Hawk Army's attack.
Yes, everyone, I don’t have a reserve team now, and there is even a row of one, two, three, and four.
After the fierce battle in the afternoon, although the Black Hawk Army suffered heavy casualties, even the death was not bad. A total of 100 people died in the afternoon. More than 30 seriously injured people were carried into the tunnel and were treated with simple treatment by the only medical soldier in the entire company.
There were no minor injuries, because as long as the soldiers who could move the gun and pull the trigger were on the front line.
Zhou Shiyu just wants to know how many soldiers he has to shoot.
The tunnel was actually not short. The soldiers leaned against the tunnel wall, either closed their eyes and held the precious ten minutes to recover their energy, or drank water and ate jerky to replenish their energy. However, Zhou Shiyu only took one minute to walk past the last soldier leaning against the tunnel wall.
There were 56 people in total, and Zhou Shiyu felt a sudden thrill in his heart. It was only one day! His death company became a death row, with 206 people, only a few left.
"Zhan Datong, how many observation posts are left on the top of the mountain?" Zhou Shiyu roared habitually.
If 4 are left as usual, there will be 60 people.
