Chapter 683: The Decisive Battle of Bengal 9


The British army's food and grass had been burned to ashes in the fire, and the thousands of people stationed outside the church had run out of food.All the food at the headquarters was distributed, and some soldiers were feeding on the rain this morning.After the heavy rain, the trenches were full of standing water.The British army was lying on their stomachs in a bathtub, their skin soaked and unshaped.The disabled soldier was even more pitiful, because the wound could not be treated at all because of the shortage of medicines.Now when I soaked in the water, it quickly became red, swollen and rotten.By the end of the night, there had been sporadic gunfire from the British positions.That is the disabled soldier voluntarily ending his own life, for them, life is far more painful than death.The British commander, Charlton, went out of the mosque to personally direct the battle, and his mind was numbed by days of fear.At this moment, he was not afraid of death at all, and under the torment of this collapse, he had long hoped for an end.The only belief that sustains the survival of these British troops now is that the brothers who broke through the siege can return with reinforcements as soon as possible."

Boom" Charlton had just taken a few steps out of the mosque when a huge explosion was heard behind him.The powerful air currents knocked Charlton to the ground, and after this explosion, explosions were quickly heard from all over the position.The mortar of the Huaxing army crept forward and had already reached the firing position in the ruins.However, with the participation of thousands of British troops, Wu Xuming left a battalion of mortars, and a full 200 mortars fired at the same time.Shells burst out from all directions, and after all the ground buildings of the British positions had been destroyed, they exploded in all directions of the trenches.The water splashed and the dirt flew up.After the explosion, the soft ground was blasted out of the trenches.Shrapnel raged wildly on the battlefield, and once it touched a person's body, it immediately exploded into a blur of flesh and blood.The British army has been bombarded by shells in turn in the past few days, and the eardrums are about to be shattered.Some of the British troops in the trenches had completely collapsed, and they jumped out of the trenches with spears to fight the Huaxing army.But as soon as he was exposed, he was quickly torn apart by the scattered shrapnel.If they lie in the trench, unless a shell rolls into the trench and explodes, it is usually safe.Two hundred mortars fired a dense salvo for five minutes, each mortar fired ten shells, and nearly two thousand shells rained down on the British positions.There were still thousands of remnants of the British army, but half of them were destroyed by the bombs in an instant, and only more than 500 people were left to move.The wails in the trenches were overwhelming, and blood continued to spurt out of the wounded soldiers, staining the rain in the trenches red, and all the British troops seemed to be soaked in a red dye vat.Under the cover of mortar shells, the infantry of the Huaxing army had already crept in, less than thirty or forty meters from the British position.At this time, the British troops all showed their heads, pulled the bolt of their guns and continued to shoot at the Huaxing army.The Huaxing army also fired back, constantly looking for cover and breaking forward while dodging.Both sides are clinging to the ground, and there is a visual difference, and no one can hurt anyone.The bullets went out, only popping and splashing up clouds of dirt in front of each other.At this time, the infantry of the Huaxing Army had taken out grenades from their waists, this kind of wooden long-handled bomb, which was not only low in cost, but also easy to carry, won the love of the front-line soldiers, and was also a sharp weapon to break through the last line of defense in the trenches.One by one, the fuses of the "snort" grenades were struck, and white smoke came out.The soldiers of the Huaxing Army quickly rounded their arms and threw them forward, and the maximum distance of the grenade was ninety-three meters, and the distance of thirty meters was qualified.This longest distance was created by Chen Bingwen, and no one has broken it so far.He once ran in the Wuhu tea shop, with excellent arm strength, holding a huge pot with one hand and pouring tea every few feet, and could dance 80 catties of big knives.The position of the British army once again ushered in iron lumps, and the British army, who did not know, thought that the Huaxing army was ready to smash them to death with iron blocks.But before he could react, the iron bump roared in the trenches.Shrapnel flew and flew British troops one by one in an instant.The smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the Huaxing army has launched a general attack.The breach of the trench had been violently blasted, and the soldiers quickly rushed through the breach and quickly closed on both sides.The sound of gunfire and fighting on the battlefield suddenly intensified, and in less than ten minutes, the gunfire gradually stopped.The strength of a brigade of the Huaxing Army was all pressed up, and the battlefield was densely packed with Huaxing troops wearing camouflage uniforms, and the more than 500 British troops were simply not enough to spread their teeth.Especially when fighting bayonets, the Huaxing Army used the standard combat squad of later generations.Threesomes never go it alone.The British were either killed by bullets or stabbed to death with bayonets, and were quickly wiped out.From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took less than half an hour.They have been able to hold on until now, and they have shown the courage to break the boat.Because the Huaxing army did not allow them to surrender, every British army could only fight to the end."

Report to the commander, the remnants of the British army have been wiped out by our brigade, and a British commander has been captured alive" The headquarters of the Huaxing Army, Wu Xuming and Chief of Staff Zhang Derivation are checking the military movements of all parties.Zhou Long, the brigade commander who was responsible for attacking the remnants of the British army, raised his head and said hello when he entered the door, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.He is not in command of an ordinary brigade, but a special operations brigade responsible for escorting the headquarters."

Okay, don't be so tall.With the strength of one of your brigades, what is there to be proud of in defeating more than a thousand remnants of the enemy" Wu Xuming didn't look up at him, continued to write and draw on the map, and immediately poured cold water on him."

Commander, you can't say that.No matter how small the bees are, there are stingers, it's not that you don't let our special operations brigade go to the front line.Otherwise, with our combat effectiveness, it will be no problem to destroy a single division of the British army" Zhou Long knew Wu Xuming's temper, and he was also used to being by Wu Xuming's side, so he immediately gave a thumbs up and boasted."

Okay, say you're fat and gasp" Wu Xuming was happy, put down the map in his hand, looked up and glared at Zhou Long, and continued to order, "Let your subordinates hurry up and rest, it is estimated that the army will have to be pulled out tomorrow."

When you go out, let the commander come in by the way" "Obey" Zhou Long still proudly raised his chest, saluted Wu Xuming with a hippie smile, turned around and walked out of the house with loud leather boots."

This monkey cub, it's really a pity to put him in the special operations brigade, according to his qualifications, he is not wronged to be a military commander" Zhang Derivation was happy on the side, and said two fair words to Zhou Long.When Zhou Long was the division commander of Wu Xuming, he was already the commander of the Huaxing Army.But because of his tough personality, he violated military orders many times, and he was always promoted and down.In the past, when Sichuan was pacified, Wu Xuming strictly ordered the indiscriminate killing of prisoners.Because his brothers suffered too many casualties, Zhou Long killed thousands of prisoners after the victory, and almost didn't anger Wu Xuming to death.In the end, in order to control this kid, he had to keep him by his side, and he was never allowed to go to the front line.If it weren't for Wu Xuming protecting him, he would have been shot several times
