On the road south to the east of Minle Town, a coalition of various countries, mainly British troops, was advancing.
This army includes armies from Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries. It has about 5,000 men, which is close to the strength of two brigades. The leader is British Lieutenant General James, who was appointed by British Commander Adams. As the commander-in-chief of this army, he was responsible for the breakout of the eastern battlefield. James knew the coalition's grand plan to attack the east and west. He knew that the eastern battlefield would attract firepower and might become cannon fodder. For this reason, he was very reluctant to accept the order, but Adams ordered and he had to obey.
As the commander-in-chief of this army, James began to think about ways to break out. This was to attract the firepower of the Chinese army. He was in a very dangerous situation. He could not just sit and wait for death. He had to find a way out for himself. Along the way, he became more and more Approaching the east road, James became increasingly nervous, but he didn't think of any solution.
"Sir James, I heard that this trip to the east is to attract firepower."
The French general came up and asked in a low voice.
The American general looked sad and resentful, and said disappointedly: "I've also heard that we are attracting Chinese troops to cover the main force's breakout from the west of Minle Town."
The generals from various countries who followed James all looked sad.
Lieutenant General James sighed: "You all already know our situation, what else can I say? Yes, Commander Adams, Commander Russell and the commanders of various countries have determined the plan to attack the east and west. We will take the east of Minle Town. Break through from the front, attract all Chinese troops, and cover the main force led by the commanders to break through from the west."
"No, it's not fair to us." The French general said.
The U.S. military general then said indignantly: "Let us die. They are unkind, so you can't blame us for being unjust." After a pause, a cunning look flashed in the eyes of the U.S. military general, and he said: "Lieutenant General James, the commanders regard us as If you are an abandoned son, you don’t care whether we live or die, so just surrender, and you can save your own life even if you are caught."
James sneered twice and asked: "Do you think surrendering can save your life?"
"Of course." the US military general said.
James shook his head and said: "What can you think of? Could it be that the commanders can't think of it? If you analyze it carefully, we will surrender to the Chinese army and then we will definitely be controlled. Next, there will be two possibilities. The first is that the Chinese army wants to take revenge. , I personally think the chance of killing us all is low; secondly, after the Chinese army captures us, it is impossible to imprison us forever. They will always put us back. When the time comes, we will return to the army. If we go back as prisoners, what do you think Commander Adams, Russell and others will do with us? By then, life will be worse than death."
After hearing this, the U.S. military general fell silent.
James continued: "There is only one way in front of us. We must try our best to break out. As long as we break out, we will be the heroes of this battle. Even if we fail to break out successfully, we are captured for a reason and can prove it. We fought, but we were captured because we couldn't win."
James knew the thoughts of the generals from various countries and said: "Gentlemen, we can only guarantee our lives by working together as best we can, concentrating all our strength, and breaking through the eastern defense line."
"General James, the French soldiers obey your call."
"General James, the American troops are under your command."
"General James, the Russian army is under your command, I believe in you."
"General James,..."
Generals from various countries have stated that they can only treat a dead horse as a living horse and continue on.
"Thud, tug, tug,,."
At this moment, there was a burst of continuous gunfire from the front. The sudden sound made James and the generals from various countries tremble. They immediately looked forward. James had a bad premonition in his heart and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, immediately check what happened ahead."
The soldiers ran over and reported: "The troops in front have encountered an ambush and have begun to exchange fire."
James asked: "Is it the Chinese army?"
The soldier nodded, looking bitter.
James said: "Give me the order and organize the troops to counterattack with all our strength."
The soldiers ran away quickly, leaving only James and the generals from various countries. At this time, the generals from various countries felt cold in their hearts. They looked at the direction where the gunfire came from, with unspeakable bitterness in their hearts.
This battle is coming so soon.
The place where the firefight was ahead was an extremely smooth road.
A brigade under Yang Banhou used this place to dig trenches and used the flat and wide roads to ambush. In the trenches, the leading brigade commander held a telescope and looked at the soldiers from various countries who were entering the road in a steady stream. His face Overflowing with excitement, he sneered: "This place is flat and wide, and it is the only way to the east of Minle Town. If they enter this place, they can only become a living target. Even if we have corresponding weapons to fight back, we can't." If you are well prepared, you will definitely win.”
The brigade commander only sent one regiment of troops to counterattack, and the other two regiments had other tasks.
"Brigadier, it's really fun to fight this time. All the foreigners have become our living targets. It's so fun."
The head of the regiment had a high morale on his face and a murderous intent in his eyes.
The first brigade commander touched the stubble under his chin and said seriously: "Don't be so careless, please be careful. The division commander has already said that if you fail to defend this place, I will be removed from my post when you return. Huh, if you fail to stop the foreign attack, I will remove you from your post now and let you taste the feeling of being removed from your post."
The leader of the first regiment smacked his lips and said, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."
He looked at the commander of the second battalion next to him, raised his voice, and shouted: "Li Xiaohua, you are such a big, fat man, how come the shells you fire don't go off? Let me make the soldiers in the artillery battalion smart." Go ahead, bomb as hard as you can and blow up those stupid foreigners. If you fail to complete the mission, I will first remove you from your post."
"Captain, don't worry, Li Xiaohua promises to complete the mission."
Second Battalion Commander Li Xiaohua hurriedly went to deliver the order and scolded the soldiers of the artillery battalion.
"Boom, boom,,."
Cannonballs flew out one after another, drew arcs in the air, and landed among the crowds of soldiers from various countries. The shells exploded, and the foreign soldiers were blown away and became a mess. Broken limbs could be seen everywhere on the ground. A foreign soldier with arms.
"Oh God, help me, help me, I don't want to die."
"I won't fight, I surrender, I want to surrender."
"We are here to die, God, I will never see my goddess again."
Soldiers from various countries shouted loudly, with deep fear on their faces.
Under the intensive firepower and the indiscriminate bombardment of cannons, soldiers from various countries were all stunned. Even though they immediately looked for hidden places to build firepower points and quickly used machine guns to counterattack, the soldiers led by James did not build fortifications. A large number of soldiers could only retreat continuously under the powerful fire attack.
A steady stream of news came back, and James' expression became more and more gloomy.
The war lasted for half an hour, and the soldiers under James could no longer hold back and were unable to even move forward. In addition, the soldiers from various countries were originally exhausted and had low morale, so they were quickly suppressed.
"Report,."
A soldier quickly ran over and reported loudly: "Lieutenant General James, Chinese troops have been spotted in the rear. They took the back road and are coming quickly."
"ah,."
James exclaimed, cold sweat dripping down his face.
