The soldiers of the City Guards did not look back. They had no idea that the Guardsmen behind them were already far away from them. They just braved the rain of bullets, howling and charging forward desperately.
Soon they entered a minefield within a range of 600 meters. The sound of the landmines exploded and scattered limbs and broken arms. However, the city guard soldiers did not dare to retreat. They still charged forward bravely. When they crossed the mines,
After reaching the area, he jumped into the deep ditch without hesitation.
This is not because they are brave enough, but most of them believe that the deep ditch can avoid the opponent's shooting, and there are many wounded soldiers from yesterday's garrison, who should have turned into corpses by now, just to protect them from stepping on them.
The hidden weapon inside.
The soldiers of the city guard originally thought of hiding in the pit, but unfortunately they thought wrong. The wounded soldiers in the garrison had already been rescued by Fang Xiaoyu, and the four-corner nails were reinstalled inside. The soldiers of the city guard who jumped first fell heavily to the ground and were buried in the shallow soil.
The sharp screams of the square nails immediately pierced into the soles of their shoes. With a scream, the square nails were pierced through the insteps of their feet. The injured soldiers threw away their guns and hugged their feet, wailing, but then
The soldiers stepped on them without hesitation, causing them to fall directly to the ground, with four-cornered nails piercing their bodies.
After the first batch of soldiers were sacrificed, more and more people jumped into the deep ditch. They thought it was safe here, at least they did not have to consider the threats of bullets and landmines. Unfortunately, they thought wrong again.
"Grenade." Liu Mingzhao's order was issued immediately. All the soldiers pulled out their grenades, opened the safety guards and threw them into the ditch. Those city guard soldiers thought they could take a rest here, but suddenly they found countless risk-taking grenades.
The iron lumps of smoke fell at his feet.
They had seen yesterday's battle, so they naturally knew what this iron lump was, and everyone began to cry and climb up. Unfortunately, although the trench was dug hastily and not deep enough, it was not possible for one person to climb up, unless he took a human ladder.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get up at all, but who would be willing to use the ladder as a ladder to save others while facing the smoking grenades themselves?
Therefore, everyone only focused on climbing up on their own without any cooperation. The result was that no one was afraid of climbing up, and everyone could only face the ensuing explosion together. The explosions of grenades sounded one after another, and the city guards in the deep trench
The soldiers' severed limbs and arms flew around, being thrown out in the explosion and fire like festive fireworks, and splashed around.
Liu Mingzhao suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, because the grenade was too powerful and destroyed most of the deep trench. The original location of the deep trench became a depression. Although there was still a slope, people could pass through. But not now.
When he regretted it, Liu Mingzhao gave an order, and everyone, including Chen Junhe, the commander of the Second Guards Division, picked up their rifles and rushed out.
The city guards behind who had not jumped into the ditch were stunned by the huge explosion. They stared blankly at the depression where their companions were buried and didn't know what to do. At this moment, the Chinese leader holding a rifle and the Tubo
The county coalition troops rushed forward, with bright bayonets thrust into their eyes, and they woke up, but it was too late, and they were quickly slaughtered by surprise.
"Return to the position immediately and take cover." There was no time to cheer, Liu Mingzhao immediately shouted the order, and other officers also reacted after Liu Mingzhao issued the order. Under the shouts of the officers, everyone jumped back to the position after hearing the order.
Liu Mingzhao had quite a lot of actual combat experience. As soon as everyone returned to their positions, the Xiahou Army's retaliatory artillery fire fell on the battlefield just now, and the Chinese artillery troops quickly began to counterattack and destroyed several more cannons.
The death of all the city guards did not make Xiahou Huan feel a little bit unbearable. In his mind, only his direct armed forces are the most important. People like the city guards will die if they die, and they will not let him
There was a slight uproar in my mood.
In order to save ammunition, after the rebel artillery stopped fighting back, the Chinese artillery also stopped shelling. Now that most of the mines had been removed and the deep trenches had been filled, Xia Houhuan was very confident in this charge, and he immediately launched the attack just now
After being bombarded and suffering little losses, the First and Third Guards Corps were sent out. This time, the Guards learned the lesson. Not only did they spread their formation far apart, but the front and rear waves became closer.
Eight hundred meters away, soldiers from the Chinese leadership began to block and fire. Since both the Second Guards Division and the Wild Leopard Regiment were elites selected from thousands of people, their marksmanship was very accurate.
Under the shooting, the Guards soldiers were knocked down one by one, and the blood quickly soaked the ground.
After all, there were too many enemies. The defenders with less than 20,000 soldiers were charged by nearly 100,000 guardsmen. The defenders, who lacked heavy weapons, still allowed their opponents to approach the position step by step.
"Grenade." Liu Mingzhao asked the soldiers to throw the grenade again. Amidst a burst of explosions, the soldiers of the Chinese and Tubo County coalition forces rushed forward again with rifles with bayonets attached.
Unlike the Wild Leopards, these soldiers of the Second Guards Division who were used to using Lanting Type 1 rifles were not used to the long bayonets on Type 92 rifles. Most of them threw their rifles in the trenches. When they rushed out of the trenches,
Each person held a thick-backed machete in his hand.
Facts have proved that these machetes are absolutely effective. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard also did not have bayonets. Although they also carried waist knives, the waist knives were very thin and could not withstand the attack of thick-backed swords. They were often split in half with the swords attached.
"Artillery fire." Xiahou Huan looked at the hand-to-hand combat going on on the opposite side with red eyes. Although the third army also rushed forward, which slightly changed the battle, the Imperial Guards were still gradually retreating.
"Sir, there are many of our own people there." The adjutant reminded from the side.
Xia Houhuan, who was already red-eyed, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the Chinese leader's army can be eliminated, I will bear the loss and bomb it."
The small-caliber artillery quickly began to attack. When the artillery shells flew over, all the fighting soldiers stopped. They looked into the air in surprise at the group of flying artillery shells.
'Boom', the artillery shells accurately fell into the battlefield where both sides were fighting, shocking the soldiers on both sides. However, the Chinese soldiers reacted quickly. Most of them rolled on the spot and rolled directly back to their positions. Only a few were injured.
When it came to the bombardment, it was a pity that the soldiers who had neither trench protection nor orders to retreat had to lie on the ground, cover their ears with their hands, and resign themselves to their fate.
Seeing that the enemy's soldiers had all hid in the trenches, Xiahou Huan immediately ordered the artillery bombardment to stop. However, in order to fear that the enemy's artillery would retaliate, the artillery positions in Xiahou Huan's command post were far away. When his order was sent to the artillery positions,
Three more rounds of shelling passed. Many of the Guards soldiers lying on the ground were killed by their own artillery. When they heard the sound of the artillery stopping, they immediately fled back.
Although the Chinese soldiers retreated into the bunker immediately, thousands of them were still killed, which made Chen Junhe feel heartbroken. These were all old brothers who had followed him for many years.
The large number of casualties suffered by the Imperial Guards forced Xiahou Huan to stop reorganizing the remaining troops, and there was a rare silence on the battlefield. Taking advantage of this moment, the Chinese leaders seized the time to distribute new bullets and grenades, and replenished
to everyone.
Liu Mingzhao personally came to see Fang Xiaoyu and Wang Xuan who had been at the rear. "Master, if we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to hold on for a few days. It's better to rush out and fight like we did in Ulan City." Liu Mingzhao analyzed the current situation to the two of them.
Condition.
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "That is indeed the case, but who should be sent?"
Liu Mingzhao said: "Let the Crazy Leopard Group attack. They move quickly and have strong firepower. If we use the No. 2 special train again, we will definitely gain a lot."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "If the Crazy Leopard Regiment and the No. 2 Special Train are allowed to attack together, the frontal firepower will be weakened, and without heavy artillery to suppress the enemy, they can fire unscrupulously, which is very dangerous."
Wang Xuan said: "It doesn't matter. Pull my First Guard Division up to hold them back. I think we can hold on until the Crazy Leopard Regiment takes action."
Qi Feng, the leader of the Wild Leopard Regiment, was very excited after receiving the mission. He immediately started preparations. Before departure, Qi Feng told Fang Xiaoyu that the heavy artillery attack would not be of much use this time and that they could be moved off the train to the villa.
Used as suppressive artillery.
At Qi Feng's request, Fang Xiaoyu agreed to his request and moved all the heavy artillery down. The exits on both sides of the vacated carriage were opened, and thick sandbag bunkers were piled up, turning it into a machine gun fortification.
After once again withstanding two offensives by the rebels, the Wild Leopards completed preparations for departure, and they immediately began to take action. A long whistle sounded, and the No. 2 special train slowly started moving, and soon followed the railway line from another location.
Driving out of the villa in one direction.
Xiahou Huan was already a little crazy. There were not many city guards left, and almost half of the guards and garrison troops were killed or wounded. The huge losses went to his mind. He had decided to put all the remaining troops into the battle in a desperate move.
"All charge." Xiahou Huan gave the order, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard and the garrison picked up their rifles and began to charge. Even Xiahou Huan rushed up behind the charging team.
The Guards artillery began to fire rapidly regardless of losses, but these reckless bombardments did not last long, and they were quickly wiped out by the 105mm howitzers of the Chinese Army.
The mines had been exhausted in the previous attacks, the deep trenches had been blown up, and the barbed wire fence had been destroyed as early as yesterday. Facing the hordes of rebel soldiers, the two defending Tubo County divisions had no choice but to fight hard.
Fang Xiaoyu, who saw the enemy's overwhelming force in the telescope, immediately ordered the resting militiamen to move forward to support the two guards divisions in the battle.
This was a head-on confrontation between all the forces of both sides. It seemed that the soldiers on both sides knew that this was a battle that would determine the fate of both sides, so they both performed extremely bravely.
