"What's going on? Why are there gunfire over there? Has the Western Sichuan Army begun to attack us?" Brigadier General Leo Jones, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, frowned. Now, for the attack on Volta Mountain, it is precisely
At the most critical moment, we are about to break through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line. If something unexpected happens, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
"The Western Sichuan Army has begun to attack! Those arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys have no reason to send to the Volta Mountains, but they have devoted their limited troops to a frontal attack. Do they think they can defeat us with their few people?
A heavily defended frontal line of defense?
?" Henry Wellesley said disdainfully. Although the people defending the front are Indian soldiers, many of the officers are British. In addition, their number is more than 30,000, even if they cannot defeat the Western Sichuan Army
, but there shouldn't be any problem if you hold on to the defensive line.
"Yes, Jones, conquering Volta Mountain in front of us is the most important thing. The Western Sichuan Army will not be able to break through our frontal defense line for a while. When we capture Volta Mountain, we will have an absolute advantage.
.Order the front line to organize another attack! We must capture Volta Mountain!" said Brigadier General Andrew Smith, commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade.
Brigadier General Leo Jones, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, nodded, but he always had some bad premonitions in his heart. The tenacity of the defenders at Volta Mountain far exceeded his expectations. Originally, he thought that in Gurkha
Under the unexpected attack of the Erkha Infantry Brigade, it was possible to
It was easy to capture Volta Mountain. But now it was beyond his imagination. Although the Gurkha Infantry Brigade easily captured the first line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army, it was unable to do anything about the second line of defense. And now
, their casualties have been very high.
However, Brigadier General Leo Jones also believed that the Western Sichuan Army must have reached its end. As long as they work harder, they will definitely be able to defeat the Western Sichuan Army and seize the entire Volta Mountain position. Even if something goes wrong in the frontal defense line, they will still be the same.
Occupying an advantage. Relying on the terrain conditions of Volta Mountain, they can advance and attack, and retreat and defend!
However, at this moment, a large group of broken soldiers rushed towards their position. The cloth strips wrapped around their heads undoubtedly showed their identities. They were Indian soldiers defending the frontal defense line of the British and Indian troops.
"Damn it, why are you here? Aren't you defending the front line of defense?" Henry Wellesley was furious, pulled over an Indian Asan, and asked fiercely.
"General, General. The Western Sichuan Army is too powerful. We have been defeated. The army has been completely defeated. Now the Western Sichuan Army is attacking here quickly!" The bearded Indian Asan replied with a look of horror.
.
"Idiot! Even if there are 30,000 pigs, the Western Sichuan Army can't catch them all so quickly!" Henry Wellesley was furious and slapped the Indian Asan hard. The Indian Asan was knocked to the ground.
But he didn't dare to resist, and could only look at Henry Wellesley resentfully.
"Don't run, go back and resist the Western Sichuan Army. Otherwise we will be doomed!" Brigadier General Leo Jones, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, shouted loudly. If they are attacked by the Western Sichuan Army, they want to take it.
Going down Mount Volta is completely impossible. With heavy losses and no goals achieved, their battle can be considered a failure and there will be no chance of a comeback.
Only then did the others react and immediately asked the guard battalion to collect the broken troops and prepare to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army.
"General, what should we do now? Should we give up the attack on Volta Mountain and hold off the Western Sichuan Army first?" asked Brigadier General Allen Fane, commander of the 21st Infantry Brigade.
Henry Wellesley was also completely panicked and didn't know what to do. The originally good situation was completely reversed in an instant. This feeling of falling from heaven to resistance in an instant was unacceptable to him.
"The attack cannot be stopped. Let these broken troops and the guard camp be added to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. I personally rushed to the front line of Volta Mountain to strengthen the attack on Volta Mountain. Only by winning Volta Mountain will we have room for change.
.Otherwise, we will definitely lose!" Brigadier General Leo Jones, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, said.
"Okay, just do what Brigadier General Jones said!" Henry Wellesley didn't care about anything else now, and quickly adopted Leo Jones's suggestion, seemingly gathering the defeated troops and setting up a defensive line. At the same time, Leo Jones also
Rush directly to the foot of Volta Mountain, preparing to personally order the troops to launch the strongest attack and capture Volta Mountain in one fell swoop. This is their last chance.
"Quick! Quick! Rush up, defeat those Indians, and surround the British. The final victory must belong to us!" The officers of the 8th Brigade ordered loudly. The Indians were completely weak and surpassed them.
Unexpectedly, just one charge defeated the Indian army. You must know that the total force invested by the Western Sichuan Army was only these defensive Indians.
It was only half of the British army! Such a victory made everyone in the Western Sichuan Army very satisfied. After defeating the Indian army, the Eighth Brigade immediately began to make a detour, preparing to surround the British Army. At the same time, the Seventh Brigade was also divided into
Several troops began to attack these defeated Indian troops and drive them away completely to prevent them from affecting the main battlefield.
On Mount Volta, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade also discovered that the Western Sichuan Army had broken through the frontal defense line of the British and Indian Army and was making a detour towards them. After half a night of hard fighting, these soldiers were very tired.
However, stimulated by this news, they seemed to have taken stimulants and once again devoted themselves to resisting the British attack with full energy.
"Haha, brothers, hold on! We must hold on. The Marshal's reinforcements are coming soon. By then, the British devils down here will become our prisoners!" The generals of the Ninth Brigade kept saying,
to cheer up the soldiers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Da da da!" The deep roar of mortars and the continuous roar of heavy machine guns resounded through the night sky. The second line of defense surrounding Volta Mountain, the British Army and Western Sichuan
The ninth brigade of the army launched a fierce battle. However, even now, the position is still in the hands of the ninth brigade.
Although at this time, the Ninth Brigade had already paid the price of nearly one-third of casualties. But they still held the position firmly and did not let the British troops take the position away from their hands. Now, the Western Sichuan Army began
They fought back and saw that victory was about to be won. They would not give up this easy victory.
Brigadier General Leo Jones, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, almost rushed to the front line and asked the frontline officers to immediately organize the most powerful offensive to capture Volta Mountain no matter what. Although, he saw those soldiers, no matter what
Whether it is a Gurkha soldier or a British soldier, they are very tired because of the high-intensity fighting. However, he has no choice. If they cannot win the Volta Mountain, then they will face a battle. As a proud British soldier
*Officer, he will never allow this to happen.
Soon, the British troops began to attack, and this time the attack was more violent. However, the 9th Brigade guarding the Volta Mountain also broke out with extremely tenacious fighting power and resisted their attack.
The attack of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army was very smooth. It started from the frontal defense line of the British and Indian troops and reached the forward position set up by the British Army under Volta Mountain before stopping. Henry Wellesley's guard battalion closed in
Thousands of Indian troops were gathered here, preparing to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army and buy time for Brigadier General Leo Jones.
"Fire! Hit me hard!" The officers of the Eighth Brigade issued a combat order. Mortars were set up one after another, and heavy machine guns began to slowly move forward.
.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Shells fell one after another into the British and Indian troops, taking away countless lives. Under the cover of powerful firepower from mortars and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army launched a
A fierce attack was launched. As long as the enemy's last line of defense was broken, the main force of the British and Indian troops could be completely surrounded. At that time, the victory of this war would be established.
"Counterattack! Hold, you must hold!" Henry Wellesley was also sweating profusely. Little did he know that this had reached the most critical moment. He could no longer afford to lose. If he lost again,
Then his end is already determined.
However, the defense line organized so hard by Henry Wellesley and others did not have any effect. Those Indian soldiers were already frightened. Even though they were forcibly gathered by the British soldiers, they faced the Western Sichuan Army.
The powerful firepower did not come again
They had no time to build defenses, but after being bombarded by the Western Sichuan Army, they immediately collapsed. They dropped their rifles and ran away. Not only did their defenses have major holes, but they also dispersed
The British team's defense line was broken.
The soldiers of the 8th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army seized this opportunity and launched a fierce attack. Although the comrades in front were knocked to the ground, the soldiers behind continued to advance.
"Grenade!" a platoon commander yelled.
In the next second, more than a dozen grenades flew into the British army's defense line, and the explosion knocked them off their feet. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Western Sichuan Army quickly broke through the British and Indian army's defense line.
As more and more places were breached, the British and Indian troops had to retreat backwards. The Western Sichuan Army also took advantage of the situation and occupied these areas. Finally, the encirclement of the British and Indian troops was completed.
Thousands of British troops plus several thousand Indian soldiers were surrounded by an area less than one kilometer long and wide at the foot of Volta Mountain. Outside, there were soldiers from the Eighth and Seventh Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, and on the mountain, there were soldiers from the Western Sichuan Army.
of the 9th Brigade of the Army.
After learning that the battle plan was completed, Wang Yuze, who had been waiting all night, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
