Volume VIII 1286 Ring Fortress

Next chapter

The battlefield was full of flames, and the Russian soldiers through the fire opened fire on the retreating Chinese soldiers in the distance, whether they were accurate or not, they just vented their anger in this way.

Artillery fire rumbled under the hillside, and in the smoke and dust of the explosion, the new troops supported their comrades and retreated into the permanent trenches, and the soldiers finally got a temporary rest in the reinforced concrete bunkers.

"It's fucking home, is the hot soup ready? Divide the broth for the brothers! What about the medical soldiers? Emergency rescue...... The fire will burn for at least half an hour, and with the enemy's preparation time, we should have forty-five minutes of rest......"

A cauldron burned in each of the hidden fortifications, and the cooks stirred the soup base and sprinkled various spices into it, and sliced tofu and kelp, as well as carrots, potatoes and other ingredients were tumbling in it.

Canned beef imported from the United States was opened one by one, bayonets were thrown into the soup pot with a few slashes on it, and the food in the army was never dressed in appearance, but was affordable and high in calories.

The tinplate lunch box was filled with spoonfuls of broth, and the soldiers who were tired and dying after the bloody battle drank greedily with the lunch box.

"Don't rob it, don't rob it! Just after the battle, drink more soup and eat less dry food...... It's not that I'm stingy, you'll vomit in the end if you eat too much dry, and I'll give you stewed meat to eat when you want to eat a big meal after the battle......"

The gang leaders divided the broth one by one, and persuaded them one by one, and saw those seriously injured brothers and gang leaders crackling in distress and shedding tears: "Why did you fight so badly? I have never fought such a miserable battle in these years!"

In addition to the rumbling cannons, there was a dead silence in the trenches, Chu Zhao sat on the ammunition box and let the guards bandage his wounds, he raised his head and drank the broth in the lunch box, "Move out all the incendiary bombs we have stored, these Rakshasa ghosts are too strong, and the troops are still superior, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it if we continue like this......"

"Can't hold it, do you need to transfer my guard company to support you......" It was Xiao Hexin who walked in with the voice, Chu Zhao subconsciously stood up and saluted, and the gauze on his left arm was scattered.

"Report to the Chief of the General Staff! The Fourth Xuanwu Battalion will resolutely complete its mission and will definitely not embarrass the Chinese people!"

Xiao Hexin patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down, and then helped him bandage the gauze with his own hands, "You don't have to worry, I'm not a radical general, I really want to give you some reinforcements...... I've seen the battle just now, it's not easy for you guys!"

"No matter how much we overestimated these enemies before the war, it seems that they are underestimated now, and Tsarist Russia can become a huge empire across Europe and Asia, and it does have its foundation, and these soldiers have already surpassed us......"

"I'll give you a company of reinforcements, and 20 snipers, and you'll be here to hold off the enemy for me...... No, no, no, it won't take an hour, you block three shellings for me, and after the three shellings are over, you don't have to wait for my orders, just retreat to the last fortress on the top of the mountain, and then your mission will be completed!"

Xiao Hexin waved his hand, the company that was first stationed in Setouchi Wang Chen was ready to enter the battle after several hours of rest, and then a row of snipers in camouflage clothes rushed in, and quickly controlled the best shooting angles of the fortress.

Chu Zhao looked at the soldiers who were gradually taking place in the fortress, and he asked with a pale face, "Chief of General Staff...... Do we really have to give up the armor library? Can't we stop the enemy in this fortress? With our fortifications, we have to block these rakshasa ghosts without any problem!"

"No, our aim is not to hold them back, but to force the enemy to gradually increase their forces upwards, and finally to cede the mountain to the Russian army...... Now the enemy is encircling us, and the final situation should be that we surround the enemy! Trapping more than 10,000 army forces, the Russian warships will not be able to leave here, and they will have to fight with us here!"

"What the prime minister wants is total annihilation, not defeat, this is our bottom line! For the sake of the final victory, the previous sacrifice is worth it...... You can lose your life, but you can't lose your face?

Chu Zhao was silent, he looked back at the heavy iron gates in the depths of the fortress, and recalled that although the gold was a little heartbroken, the order had been given, and he did not have any bargaining rights.

While the people were talking, the sound of shelling suddenly stopped, and the temporary tranquility of the battlefield was very uncomfortable, and at this time everyone knew that the enemy had reassembled his army, and the bloody battle was about to begin.

The soldiers lying on the edge of the trench saw the Russian troops swarming up the mountain, the flames of the first trench had been extinguished, and now only bursts of black smoke remained, and from the black smoke and dust, teams of Russian troops were steadily pressing up.

From the first trench at an altitude of 120 meters to the ring fortress at an altitude of 310 meters, there is a gentle slope overgrown with rocks, scattered trees sandwiched between large rocks, which restricts the charge of the enemy's large army but also provides countless natural cover for the attacking enemy.

The individual soldiers of the Russian army are really good, they go back and forth in the boulders in squads, guarding each other and providing fire coordination.

"Stop shooting! Shoot again after entering the 100-meter effective zone...... The terrain is unfavorable to the enemy, and they can't charge up ......"

"Ammunition is distributed, and each platoon replenishes the ammunition base...... Prepare grenades!"

It was already half past two in the afternoon, and with a cold mountain wind sweeping over the mountains, the gunfire once again rang out on Tangwan Mountain, and the most difficult tug-of-war began.

For veterans, they are not afraid of tragedy and hardship, but what they are most afraid of is this kind of tug-of-war, due to the limitations of the terrain, the attacker cannot launch a large corps charge of hundreds of people, and the rocks and trees hinder them.

The Russian soldiers could only shoot at the Chinese soldiers in the fortress within the firing range, and it was difficult for each company to form a density of shooting, so they could only lie down in the pile of rocks and reload and then fire, reload and fire again, and the cycle was repeated but without success.

At this moment, the Xuanwu Fourth Battalion was also very depressed, except for those experienced snipers who could effectively kill and injure some enemies, while it was difficult for other soldiers to hit the enemy hiding behind trees and stones.

Not only is the lethality of the bullets poor, but even the lethality of the grenade has been suppressed, and the enraged Xuanwu Fourth Battalion consumes a lot of ammunition, but it can't kill or wound a few enemies at all.

The red-haired Major Ackerson, who was officially stationed in the first trench, calmly looked at the attack on the top of the hill and muttered to himself: "Very good, very good, just harass the enemy, let them empty their ammunition, and let them wear down their patience! Very good, you really understand the essence of my military order!"
