And so it is again! The other side actually started shelling too!

“boom，boom，boom... Twenty-four howitzers over 100mm! How can it be!!! ”

Judging the number of howitzers on the other side, Xiao Liangchen was even more desperate! If there are twenty-four howitzers of this level, it means that at least four artillery battalions are pouring fire on this position!

The small-caliber artillery was so dense that it was impossible to judge the number, which further confirmed Xiao Liangchen's idea.

With an artillery bombardment of this scale, your own troops are a little better, but if it's a patrol battalion!

At this time, a bad news came from the front that confirmed this.

"What did you say?" He stared at the soldier in front of him who was reporting the news, as if he wanted to swallow him in his stomach.

"The guns of that gang of bandits are too strong! The five patrol battalions involved in the attack were scattered! ”

Xiao Liangchen sat down on the ground as if he had lost all his strength...... Expected it, didn't it?

Wait a minute! He has already sent out the only two remaining targets of the new army! If the patrol battalion breaks up at this time!! No, the new army will be wiped out!

"Inform the Warlords! Take the rest and follow me! Their shelling cannot last forever! ”

With that, he grabbed one of the two remaining "new" Mauser rifles from the weapon box next to him and loaded the bayonet.

"Co-ordinator?!"

Although the co-commander was also temporarily appointed as the commander of the Hunan army, the people of the patrol battalion would still be obedient when the new army was still there......

And it is absolutely impossible to agree to such a mission with great casualties!

"Overseer!"

Xiao Liangchen just looked at his own soldiers with red eyes and spit out three words.

"Yes!"

-------- Dividing Line---------

Since then, there has always been an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Yuan Mingzhang paced back and forth in the command post restlessly.

This time, the 105mm guns only had 80 rounds of ammunition per gun (which was already overcarried), and if the 18 105mm guns on the position wanted to continue to maintain their combat effectiveness in the future, they had to stop shelling after 10 minutes!

That is, fifteen minutes of time?

…………

The position was already full of corpses, and some of them couldn't even tell which side they belonged to.

In fifteen minutes, the remnants of two battalions of troops could not of course be able to deal with a target of the new army plus three patrol battalions that had already broken through the position.

Even in the shelling just now, about 20 percent of the people have been killed or wounded.

However, the other side still has an absolute advantage in strength!

The sudden end of the shelling made the soldiers of both battalions a little stunned, but immediately, they reacted.

Stunned during the white-knuckle battle, isn't that looking for death?

Because of this, more than a dozen people were stabbed in the stomach by the enemy's bayonets.

In the distance, another steady stream of people began to surge wildly.

If it weren't for the night, or if the machine-gun positions weren't destroyed, they could have given the guys a good look!

But no matter when they were training, or when, they couldn't find a good way to fight at night, so they could only abandon their equipment advantages.

"Battalion commander, there are only more than eighty people in our battalion and three companies combined!"

As soon as he drew his bayonet from the body of the Qing army in front of him, he heard a company commander report bad news.

The hands have begun to weaken, and the brothers probably have done the same, and the energy at the beginning has been almost exhausted! Seeing the waves of people pouring out in the distance, he was also helpless.

"Damn, there are so many people rushing up after that burst of cannons! Remove!! ”

scolded weakly, and he could only give the order to retreat, even if it was the regiment commander's death order...... At this time, I can't care so much!

Moreover, in terms of tactics, the fate of the enemy can only be carried out when there is absolutely no way to get out of the predicament! So......

"Battalion commander! Wait a minute! Look at a battalion!! ”

Follow the gaze of the second lieutenant...... The first battalion was surrounded by an influx of enemies......

"Retreat !!"

He almost gritted his teeth, and the bastard in the first camp drank together after the return (meow) celebration!

He had no choice but to retreat, even if he wanted to rescue the first battalion of brethren.

"Battalion commander?!"

The second lieutenant suddenly felt something pressing on him...... It's the battalion commander's body......

"His grandmother's, I'm going to explain it here today, a company commander! Now that you are the battalion commander, take the brothers to withdraw! ”

My clothes were already wet, and I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I was shot in the stomach.

"Yes!"

…………

"Captain... All the members of the first battalion were killed, and there were only about two dozen people left in the second battalion. ”

The commander of the regiment listened silently to the report of the communications corps... That is, are there two battalions left? In addition to the four battalions that are still holding out now, he also has two battalions in reserve, but, two battalions, in less than two hours!

"Regiment commander, is it better to keep the heavy machine gun position and not fire? If this continues, the second line of defense will not be able to hold on! ”

The staff officer's words forced him to re-examine the problems he was facing......

Heavy machine gun ......

"The ballistic calculation of the shell takes at least five minutes, and the transfer after three minutes of machine-gun firing! Got it? ”

"Yes."

Although this will cause the machine gun to be much less effective than before, it can only be done this way, otherwise the heavy machine gun is not as good as the burning stick!

"Send the reserves too, the guard company, and the bayonets."

PS: According to the description of the veterans who participated in the battle, they will hardly notice that they are shot in battle (except that they are hit in the head and legs), and after a few minutes, they feel as if there is some pain somewhere, as if their clothes are wet, and they will find out that they have been shot.
