"Young Marshal, although this plan is a bit risky, if it succeeds, the rewards will be huge. If Lao Du can withstand the attack of the British team, I think this plan is feasible!" The Eighth Brigade
Su Hongguang, the brigade commander, said first.
"Yes!" Wang Yuze nodded, and then continued: "There are two most important aspects of this plan. First, the Ninth Brigade must defend the defense line of Volta Mountain. Second, we must quickly break through the British and Indian troops.
defense line, and then penetrate and surround the attack
The British troops in the Volta Mountains. In this process, we don’t even have to worry too much about destroying the British and Indian troops. As long as we can surround the British troops attacking the Volta Mountains, then those Indian troops will have nothing to do.
It works!" Wang Yuze said.
"Young Marshal, please give this task to our Eighth Brigade! Our Eighth Brigade has been resting and recuperating these days and has already restored its combat strength. We guarantee that we will be able to break through the British and Indian army's defense line and then quickly make a detour
, surround the British troops attacking Volta Mountain!" Su Hongguang, commander of the 8th Brigade, immediately called for battle.
"Young Marshal, let us the 7th Brigade go up! The battle during the day yesterday was just a trivial matter. Our 7th Brigade promises not to let the Young Marshal down!"
The Eighth Brigade has seized the combat mission.
"Wang Wei, first tell the Ninth Brigade my decision and ask them if they can hold the defense line!" Wang Yuze said. The Ninth Brigade's defense line at Volta Mountain is the most important. Otherwise, Wang Yuze's plan is just a castle in the air.
That's all. Even if they can defeat the British and Indian troops, if Volta Mountain is lost, it will put the Western Sichuan Army into an extremely dangerous situation.
"Yes, Marshal!" Wang Wei nodded and immediately went to send a telegram.
"As for attacking the British and Indian troops on the opposite side, we need to invest the maximum strength. Therefore, both the 7th and 8th brigades have to be mobilized. After defeating the British and Indian troops, the 8th Brigade is responsible for encircling the British troops in a roundabout way, and the 7th Brigade
It is responsible for clearing out those Indian troops so that they will not affect our battle against the British troops. However, the 7th Brigade must be ready to assist the 8th Brigade at any time. After all, those are tens of thousands of elite British troops!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Marshal! We promise to complete the mission!" All the generals of the 7th and 8th Brigades answered loudly.
Volt Mountain, the position of the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, was still under heavy artillery fire. The artillery of the Western Sichuan Army suppressed the artillery of the British and Indian Army, preventing them from attacking the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army
All light and heavy firepower on the first line of defense were directed at the British Gurkha Infantry Brigade located on the first line of defense.
and the 21st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade poured out firepower. The Western Sichuan Army's second line of defense was located on a hillside more than 20 meters high. It was commanding, allowing the Western Sichuan Army's firepower to be used in a charge. The British Army blocked several
After several attacks, they were all beaten back, with numerous casualties and their corpses piled up on the hillside.
At the headquarters of the Ninth Brigade, Du Qizheng and other generals of the Ninth Brigade all had very serious faces. The attacks of the British Army were very fierce, and the second line of defense would have been in danger several times, had reinforcements not been dispatched in time.
If so, I'm afraid it will be breached. But even so, they can't guarantee how long the 9th Brigade's second line of defense can hold.
"Brigadier, the latest telegram from the Marshal!" At this time, the signal soldier handed the telegram to Du Qizheng.
Du Qizheng took it quickly and took a look, then laughed: "Haha, the young marshal is indeed a generous man! Call the marshal back. Even if our ninth brigade fights to the last soldier, we will ensure that Volta Mountain is under our control.
Among them!"
"Yes, brigade commander!" The signal soldier immediately rushed to send the report.
"Lao Du, what is the Young Marshal's order?" Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the 9th Brigade, asked.
"Read it yourself!" Du Qizheng handed the telegram to Zhang Ruifeng.
"Haha, Marshal, it is indeed a good plan. However, in this case, the pressure on our Ninth Brigade will be over!" Zhang Ruifeng said. According to Wang Yuze's plan, their Ninth Brigade will be under great pressure, even if they win in the end.
, the entire brigade may suffer heavy losses.
"The pressure is great! However, we have no choice. This is the only way for us to quickly defeat the British. Lao Zhang, if the front line fails, I will go there myself. If I die, the troops will be handed over to your command!"
Du Qizheng said.
"Okay, Lao Du. If you die, I will come. If I die, I will come again. Even if we all die in the battle, we will not let these British devils go!" Zhang Ruifeng also laughed.
"Haha, okay! As expected, there is not a single coward in our Ninth Brigade. From now on, it's up to us!" Du Qizheng laughed. He laughed very freely, even though he knew that no matter whether it was victory or defeat, the Ninth Brigade would suffer.
However, for the sake of the overall situation, the Ninth Brigade could only be sacrificed. The sacrifice of the Ninth Brigade in exchange for victory in the war was completely worth it.
After Wang Yuze received the telegram sent back by the Ninth Brigade, he immediately issued an order: "Everyone, the Ninth Brigade promises to defend the Volta Mountain defense line. Then, the next step is up to us. The Seventh and Eighth Brigades will prepare immediately.
The attack will be launched in twenty minutes. This time, there will be no artillery preparations, we will launch a surprise attack and defeat the British and Indian troops on the opposite side in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Marshal!" All the generals promised. After saluting Wang Yuze, they immediately left the headquarters and began to prepare for the attack. Everyone was very excited. If they win, it will be a huge victory.
.They will completely end this war.
The soldiers of the 7th and 8th brigades who were sleeping soundly were woken up one after another. Although there was a war going on in the direction of Volta Mountain, it did not affect their sleep. Before receiving the order, if they had slept for one more time
Minutes can also give you a little more energy. After being woken up, everyone knew that there was a mission soon, and they all gathered with their wounded weapons and prepared to start the attack according to the order.
Twenty minutes later, it was night...Central. The 7th and 8th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army quietly jumped out of the trenches and moved towards the British and Indian Army positions. The first one was the 7th Brigade.
battalion and the first battalion of the 8th Brigade. These two battalions will be responsible for quickly tearing apart the British and Indian army's defense line and opening a passage for the large troops behind.
The thick fog still has not dissipated. The soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army can use the cover of the thick fog to get as close as possible to the British and Indian Army's defense line. Compared with the British Army, the British and Indian Army are much less alert. In the British Army
When they first started to attack Volta Mountain, they were very alert and fearful of being attacked by the Western Sichuan Army. However, as time went by,
As time passed, the Western Sichuan Army on the opposite side remained motionless, which made the British and Indian troops relax. In their opinion, Volta Mountain was now under fierce attack, and the Western Sichuan Army should have gone to reinforce Volta Mountain, and it was impossible to come.
They launched an attack. Therefore, the relaxed British and Indian troops only arranged a small number of sentries and ignored them.
Those Indian Asans were all drowsy. Although they were sentries, they did not play the role of sentries at all. They were sleeping in the trenches with their guns in their hands. Even the Western Sichuan Army came near them.
Don't even know.
The first two battalions of the Western Sichuan Army immediately broke into the trenches of the British and Indian troops. They used daggers and bayonets as much as possible to avoid alerting other British and Indian troops. However, an accident still happened. After the Western Sichuan Army entered
Less than five minutes into the position, a killed Indian Asan let out a heartbreaking and inhuman scream before he died. Suddenly, the entire Indian Asan in the position was awakened.
"Fight!" Gao Desheng, the first battalion of the 7th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, immediately issued the order.
"Boom! Boom!" The mortars that had been set up by the Western Sichuan Army began to show their power. The heavy machine guns also began to fire at the trenches of the British and Indian troops. Those British and Indian troops who had just emerged were immediately shot to the ground.
In the rear, the main forces of the 7th and 8th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army also immediately launched an attack.
The British and Indian troops who were awakened were in a panic and could not resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. Some people rushed towards the position with weapons in an attempt to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army, but more people did not care about anything in their panic.
Some of the British and Indian troops fled in all directions. Some of the British and Indian troops fled in the same direction as the British troops attacked the Volta Mountains. Others fled directly to the hinterland of India. This shows how bad the combat effectiveness of these Indian Asans was.
In less than twenty minutes, the Western Sichuan Army successfully penetrated the entire position of the British and Indian troops, and then began to break through. After the position was breached, the British and Indian troops lost the courage to resist and fled one after another.
If they can muster the courage to fight the Western Sichuan Army, the result will be completely different. After all, these British and Indian troops have more than 30,000 people, and their weapons and equipment are not bad. If they can fight to the death to resist the Western Sichuan Army's attack
, it is not easy for the Western Sichuan Army to win.
After breaking through the British-Indian Army's position, the two brigades of the Western Sichuan Army immediately began to attack according to the previous division of labor. The Eighth Brigade immediately attacked in the direction of Volta Mountain, preparing to cut the British Army's retreat. The Seventh Brigade continued to attack the British Army.
The Indian army dispersed them, and even if they could not eliminate them, they would be defeated. In this case, the Western Sichuan Army could focus its main energy on the decisive battle with the British army.
The gunfire from the British-Indian army's position attracted the attention of the British troops who were attacking Volta Mountain. Now, the battle at Volta Mountain was in full swing. The British troops had already broken through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line twice.
However, they were all driven down by the Western Sichuan Army. Although corpses were scattered all over the ground, they believed that the Western Sichuan Army was almost unable to support them and they were about to win.
