Lucas' command experience is very rich. Seeing the Chinese soldiers rushing up one after another and getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, he knew that at this time, a counterattack must be launched to contain the Chinese attack. " Michael." He shouted to a captain not far away. Seeing Michael looking over, he waved his hand fiercely and said: "Go, take your guys and drive the Chinese out."
Michael was a taciturn man. He gathered his troops without saying a word, then put on a magazine and took the lead and rushed out. Following him, nearly sixty German officers and soldiers swarmed out.
If you take a bird's eye view from the air at this time, you will find that on the hillside facing the east of the unknown highland, there are waves of people violently colliding with each other. The crowds rushing down from the top of the mountain are gray-green, while the crowds rushing up from the mountainside are gray-green. They were in camouflage colors, and there was about forty meters between the two groups of people. At the front of both sides' arrays, flames spurted wildly, and the gunshots suddenly became intensive. This kind of close-range confrontation has always been the most brutal kind of battle. In this way, there were screams amidst the gunfire, and people at the front of the two crowds fell to the ground from time to time, but no one retreated. The people behind kept filling in, and then more miserable screams were heard, as well as shocking shouts. killing sound,
"Kill." "Come forward." Xue Mengcai shouted, but his eyelids kept twitching. As an excellent commander, even with the nickname "Madman", he never lost his mind during the battle. , so he knew very well how many of his brothers had fallen in this short moment, and he also understood why every time a telegram came from the Supreme Command, they would always take the trouble to ask them to be cautious and cautious, and to destroy his own majesty alive. Other people's ambitions exaggerate the combat power of the German army.
There was a precedent in the Battle of Ufa. Xue Mengcai, like most of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, originally thought that "the Germans are nothing more than that", but now, in the face of this barbaric collision without any skills, he I have to sigh with emotion: The German army is indeed worthy of the reputation of the strongest army in the world. Xue Mengcai's eyelids were twitching, and so was his opponent Lucas. Although he revised his view of the Chinese army after the Battle of Ufa He agreed with the Group Army Headquarters' assessment that "the Chinese army's combat effectiveness is acceptable", but in his heart, he still firmly believed that they have the ability to easily defeat the Chinese. "This is the inherent sense of honor of a German soldier. If If I have the chance, I don't mind teaching the Chinese a painful lesson." When talking about the Battle of Ufa with his boss, Major General Thomas, Lucas once made such heroic remarks. It was precisely with this concept in his heart that he When the war developed in a direction that deviated from his preset direction, and the Chinese army in front of him showed extremely strong combat effectiveness and fighting will, he was shocked, "This is not a mediocre combat power, it is clearly a tiger and wolf army." With this thought in mind, Lucas issued the order for the entire army to charge. When issuing this order, Lucas felt very regretful because he underestimated the combat power of the Chinese army. Just now he only allowed one company to launch a counterattack, so Instead, it gave the Chinese an opportunity to boost their morale. Right under his nose, Michael pounced down like a thunderbolt, but the result was like hitting granite, which was instantly shattered.
At the foot of the mountain on the east side of the unknown highland, Jiang Tiezhang watched the Dayangdian Death Battalion successfully eliminate the German counterattack and lead the entire German army on the top of the mountain to attack. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhang Gaocun, it's your turn." He said fiercely. shouted,
At the foot of the mountain on the other side, Hans, the commander of the German 21st Armored Division, was understanding the battle situation on the front line through a walkie-talkie. Because Lucas personally led the team to launch a counterattack, the person who answered him was Lucas's chief of staff, Ricav. , Rickav reported the situation truthfully. When Hans heard that he said that Lucas, with the strength of a regiment, could not prevent a battalion of the Chinese army from attacking, he frowned and immediately named Bulk, the more capable regiment commander under his command, and asked him. He immediately led reinforcements, and Bulk took the order to lead the troops towards the unknown high ground. Hans' eyes shifted from the back of the Bulk regiment to the artillery position in the rear, and then called a brigade commander under his command and asked: " Lal, report the situation where you are, have you passed the Shire yet?"
Shire is a small village south of Kungur. It is also the only area south of Kungur that can be called a plain area. Although the German army was defeated in the Battle of Ufa, Hans and other senior officers of Army Group A believed that Chariot combat is the weakness of the Chinese army, so more emphasis is placed on the use of chariot units. Lal is the only all-tank unit under the 21st Armored Division. In Hans's vision, as long as the infantry can defend Unnamed Highlands, then if the Chinese army wants to advance westward, it can only go through the Shire line. By then, Lal's chariot brigade will have the opportunity to play.
Lal soon got a reward, saying that he had occupied the core area of the Shire. He reassured Hans that if the Chinese really wanted to pass through the Shire, what awaited them would be his own thunderous strike.
Hans's mentality calmed down. He was about to repeat the strategic arrangement carefully to find out if there were any loopholes. The cheers from the unknown highland brought his thoughts back to reality. He picked up the telescope and looked at it. Looking from the top of the unknown highland, he saw a military flag waving in the wind. He couldn't help but feel a black eye, "Lucas, this bastard, can't he even withstand a Chinese battalion?" He cursed angrily, and then gave Bull Ke issued an order, requiring him to take back the Nameless Highlands at all costs, "...the Nameless Highlands must not be lost." After hanging up the phone, he muttered to himself fiercely,
At the same time, Jiang Tiezhang clapped his hands excitedly, and then gave an order to Zhang Gaocun: "Keep it at all costs. I promise you that even if you all die, the formation of the 4th regiment will not be cancelled, and I will tell you for you." The High Command strives for the honorary title of 'Kungul'."
Jiang Tiezhang's excitement could not be sustained for long. Soon, the news that the German tank troops had seized the Shire reached his ears. When he heard the news, he first took a breath, and then said angrily: "Again It's a bad move, it seems we really need to strengthen our investigation work." After saying these words that were a bit of hindsight, he thought about it seriously, then looked up at the air battlefield, and wanted to call Zhang Zizhong and propose to him. Instead of rushing out the tank troops, let the helicopter brigade go up and harass them: "Let Jiang Tongmin and the others go up first. Didn't Jiang Tongmin always say that tanks in front of them are targets? Let's give him a chance to fulfill his lies. Maybe he will It’s working wonders.”
