The landslides cracked, and the rubble flew sideways.The sound of explosions was like thunder in the sky, one after another, one after another.The artillery cluster fell on the British position, and I don't know how dense it was compared to the bombs dropped by the airship troops just now.The first line of defense laid out by the British army on the hillside was all covered by artillery fire, and the shells kept rolling into the trenches, and six or seven thousand British troops were constantly ravaged by shrapnel.After the shell exploded, in addition to the powerful shock wave that shook people to death, the fragments of the shell also flew out at a rapid speed.But if it hits the human body, it will definitely open the flesh.The British army was almost not to death, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the figure of the Huaxing army, but they didn't expect to wait for the shells."
God, how can the Huaxing Army have so many advanced weapons" Lambert and Henderson's feet shook in bursts, and the stones on the bomb shelter kept falling off, as if they were about to collapse.He didn't know how the Huaxing army transported the artillery up the mountain, he originally wanted to set up an artillery position on the top of the mountain, but it was difficult to transport the hundreds of kilograms of iron lumps to the top of the mountain.And because of the winding and rugged mountains, as well as the blocking of dense forests and shrubs, the firing angle of the artillery was not easy to adjust, so he only deployed light infantry.After all calculations, Lambert did not expect that the Huaxing army could still use artillery in this situation."
Colonel, let the soldiers of the first line of defense retreat.If the bombing continues like this, six or seven thousand soldiers will all die," Henderson hurriedly entered the bomb shelter and shouted in a lost voice.As soon as he checked the situation of the battle, the first line of defense was completely covered in gunsmoke, and it looked like it was about to be torn apart by artillery fire."
We can't retreat, if the first line of defense is lost, we will have no room to break through."
Lambert looked at the topographic map and decisively refused.The first line of defense was located on the west side of the northern slope and was the only access to the bottom of the mountain.If it is occupied by the Huaxing army, the gate of the northern slope will be completely closed.He has no determination to resist now, and is constantly thinking about how to break through."
You can't just watch the soldiers being blown up alive," Henderson let out a cold sweat, and the sound of artillery outside the cave not only did not stop, but became more violent."
That's better than all of us dying here," Lambert yelled, his whole body trembling.His chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a long time to calm down, and he continued to command Henderson, "The artillery fire of the Huaxing Army will always stop, you go down and inform the troops, as long as the artillery stops, you will be ready to break through immediately" "Yes" The muscles on Henderson's face trembled a few times, and he saluted and went down to make arrangements.The mortar bombardment of the Huaxing Army lasted nearly 20 minutes, and a total of tens of thousands of shells were fired, almost flattening the first line of defense of the British army.After the bombardment stopped, Mu Weishan saw that the time was ripe, and immediately let the infantry attack the top of the mountain."
Rush" and "kill" The hillside was full of the screams of the Huaxing army, and the strength of an army rushed up from all directions.In order to prevent the British army from breaking through and escaping, Mu Weishan deliberately left a military force to block the various entrances out of the mountain, and the British army has completely become a turtle in an urn.When the Huaxing army and the British army were less than 100 meters apart, the scattered British troops in the trenches who were bombarded by mortar artillery showed their heads one after another, aimed at the Huaxing army, and pulled the trigger.The British army was nearly six or seven thousand men, and now only a thousand people can hold a spear.The rest of the soldiers were either dead or rolling in the trenches wailing with broken arms and legs."
Bang, bang, bang" There was a loud burst of gunfire on the hillside, crackling.The Huaxing army was caught off guard, and most of the soldiers in the army were recruits, because they had no experience in mountain warfare, and when they rushed with their chests up, they completely exposed their bodies to the guns of the British army."
Puff puff" bullets splashed down, and immediately hundreds of Huaxing soldiers were hit by the bullets, screaming and lying in a pool of blood.Wu Tiexiong, the commander of the sharp knife battalion who rushed to the front, shouted, and saw the soldiers holding the red national flag falling, he rushed up and caught it firmly with a leap, "The sharp knife battalion, the sharp knife is pointed, and it is invincible" Wu Tiexiong roared, constantly dancing the national flag forward, and his face was full of fearless looks.He had already seen a large number of reinforcements arriving behind the British position, and it would have been difficult to rush forward if he had not taken control of the trenches before them.When the Huaxing army of the Sharp Knife Battalion heard Wu Tiexiong's order, they all gritted their teeth and lowered their bodies as much as possible to climb up.The firepower of the British army was all concentrated towards the Sharp Knife Battalion, and more than a thousand spears instantly formed a dense firepower network.The bullets rained down on the Sharp Knife Battalion completely.The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion who rushed to the front were instantly knocked down, Wu Tiexiong did not blink his eyes, and continued to wave the national flag in his hand with anger on his face, and shouted at the soldiers behind him again, "The Sharp Knife Battalion, the sharp knife is pointed, and the invincible rush" The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion watched the red flag continue to wave, and the fear in their hearts was completely gone.Soldiers kept falling, and successors rushed up again.After all, the British army's position was only a thousand people, and it was impossible to care about the left and the right.After the Sharp Knife Battalion had absorbed all the British firepower, the other two battalions had already attacked the trenches from the left.The British army was attacked from both sides, and soon the formation was in disarray.Wu Tiexiong also led the team to a distance of fifty meters, and the soldiers threw grenades into the British trenches.After a violent explosion, the British position was finally torn open, and the soldiers who rushed to the front also jumped into the trenches, raised their bayonets and stabbed at the British troops."
Foreign devils, take your life" and "kill" the endless Huaxing army quickly jumped into the trenches, bullets and bayonets flew together, and all the red-haired and green-eyed foreign devils did not let go of one, and after a while, all the British troops in the trenches were knocked down."
Victory, victory" Wu Tiexiong roared, planted the national flag on the position, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to block the British reinforcements.At this time, the reinforced British troops had already rushed in, more than fifty meters away from the first line of defense, and faced the Huaxing army in the trenches, and even the face could be seen clearly.The Huaxing army, which had just occupied the trenches, pulled the trigger all at once, and fired a crackling volley at the British army.Because of the close distance, the British swooped downward, without the slightest cover, and were put into a piece by bullets in a moment.At this time, the gun company also climbed into the trench with its heavy machine guns, and after placing the machine guns in the trenches, they opened fire on the British troops.The hillside was suddenly covered with the roar of machine guns, and the bullets were like locusts sweeping the territory, and all the pressure was pressed against the British army.The British were already less than thirty meters from the trenches, and they could retake the trenches.However, when the machine gun company strafed like this, the British troops who rushed to the front were all pierced by bullets.Where had the British troops in the back seen this kind of weapon, and they all lay on the hillside in fright and did not dare to take a step forward.The Huaxing army took advantage of the situation and threw out grenades, forming a dense burst of artillery fire.The British army suffered heavy losses in an instant, and thousands of people were beaten to a blur of flesh and blood.The British troops who followed were frightened and retreated towards the top of the mountain."
Colonel, no, the first line of defense is lost" Henderson rushed into the dugout, almost crying out to Lambert."
What, why don't you take it back quickly," Lambert roared out in frustration at the moment, his face flushed."
Colonel, the Huaxing Army has an advanced repeating gun that can fire bullets continuously.We're going to fall as much as we rush" Henderson fell to his knees weakly, slamming his fists into the ground with a face full of despair."
Get up, useless things, I'll lead people to break through in person" Lambert showed the determination and perseverance that a general should have, and he would not easily choose to give up until the last moment.As soon as he came out of the air-raid shelter, he saw the red flags waving all over the mountain.The Huaxing army continued to take the first line of defense in the west, and also took the second line of defense in the center and east.The British retreated hastily up the hill and were now all gathered around Lambert."
Colonel, this is all our troops, and there are less than three thousand people who can move," Henderson sorted out his emotions and walked out of the bomb shelter with Lambert, introducing the current situation in a somewhat low voice."
Soldiers, I have brought you to India, and I promise to take you home.Now that we are surrounded by enemy troops, they are a group of bloodless devils, and even if we surrender, they will not show mercy to our men, and there is only one way out, and that is to break through from the first line of defense in the west," Lambert shouted impassionedly, cheering up his demoralized men and telling everyone the worst."
Break through, break through, break through" The generals all raised their arms and roared in response, and those who wanted to disarm and surrender immediately put away this idea when they heard this.Lambert was right, and the British army did not doubt it.Just now, the Huaxing army rushed into the trenches of the British army, because they were red-eyed, they did not let go of a single British soldier, and even the disabled soldiers who were lying in the trenches and could not move were all killed.The British were frightened, and they had done the same to the yellow people in the first place.When it came to conquering Burma, they dealt with the disobedient Burmese people, and they were all bloody massacres along the way, leaving no room for anything.But I never expected that God's punishment would come so quickly, and that these massacres would now happen to me."
Let's go, break out" Lambert pointed forward with his gun, and rushed towards the first line of defense with the last three thousand men.Mu Weishan had already seen the British army's intentions clearly, and sent another division of soldiers and horses to the first line of defense, with tens of thousands of people, allowing the British army to make the final battle of the trapped beasts.When Lambert rushed into the first line of defense three hundred meters away, because he was condescending and had a very wide field of vision, the first thing that caught his eye was the Huaxing army all over the mountains, almost the first line of defense was tightly armed.He didn't care about being afraid at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers behind him to dive up.Now even if they retreat, there is no chance, the impact of the Huaxing army has been heard from the direction of the eastern and central lines, and if they retreat now, they will be attacked by the Huaxing army on both sides of the mountain and the mountain
