Chapter 116: Strong Resistance

The commander of the base was anxious to urge the troops to hurry overnight, and if the Dugi army blocked the attack at night, it would be much more beneficial to the coalition forces to have night cover when attacking.

However, the Tugi army never appeared, and only on the way of the coalition army, bullet mines were laid all over the mountains.

By the next morning, the coalition forces had lost more than 10,000 men in the mines, and had only walked more than 30 miles.

The situation of the coalition forces on this road is still the best, although it has lost nearly two divisions, at least it has walked more than 100 miles.

Secure? The coalition forces that came out of the county base did not encounter the Dugi army along the way, mainly because there was no suitable terrain to block the attack.

However, the four regiments of the 1st Army Corps, which were the first to learn the essence of guerrilla warfare, prepared a large number of bullet mines for the coalition forces. Along the way, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses. Few died, but more than 10,000 wounded.

Regardless of the casualties, the coalition forces only walked more than a hundred miles at the end of the day before they had to stop by the river where the bridge had been blown off. On the other side of the river, I finally saw the blocking position of the Dugi army.

The blocking position set up on the other side of the river is more than 500 meters away from the river, and with the addition of three or four hundred meters above the river, it is almost a kilometer away.

At this distance, only machine guns can hit, but the coalition forces are now extremely short of ammunition, and the number of machine guns is not much, and the coalition soldiers do not dare to take the initiative to provoke.

The coalition forces did not take the initiative to attack, blocking the Tugi army on the position, and they were also very gentlemanly, and did not attack the coalition soldiers who were fetching water.

Although a lot of fish were caught from the river when they were fetching water, there were 600,000 troops along the way. Even the officers were dissatisfied with this stuff.

Everywhere the army went, in order to fill its stomach. It's like a locust crossing the border, and there's not a trace of green to be seen.

The soldiers only rested, but the officers scratched their scalps, separated by a river, without artillery cover, and wanted to break through the positions of the Dugi army on the opposite bank. It's just too hard. But if you don't attack, you can only be trapped here, waiting to starve to death. Or surrender is also a way out!

To the north, to the west. It's all the Yellow River, and it doesn't get through. After being swept away by Yi Fei, the coalition forces used the remaining fuel in order to attack Torido. It's all used for transportation. Nevertheless. Boats without fuel can still go down the river. It is a pity that a bold raid by the Tugi army sent all the ships to the bottom of the river.

It is also not feasible to turn to the south, and the army that set out from the base to attack the town of Daweng before is going to the south.

The whole road was cleaned up by the Dugi army, and it was impossible to find food if you walked that way, besides. Over there, it's still the territory of the Tsugi Army. The mistakes of the three legions in the town of the Great Urn, but no one wants to repeat it again.

The only way out. It is to break through the defense line of the Tsugi army as soon as possible and eat in the rear. The commander of the coalition forces saw the situation very thoroughly, and after getting the situation on the riverside, he ordered to send people downstream to find a place to cross the river. At the same time, be prepared for forced crossing.

For the sake of their own belly, the masters of the coalition army also did rough work, and with their strength, they cut wood and built ships, much faster than ordinary soldiers.

On the side of the Dugi army, the section of the river where the coalition forces gather the most, the chief of Du Ji is also here, but he is very leisurely. The enemy on the other side of the river has no air cover, no artillery, no mortars, and not even more machine guns than on his side.

On his side, there are two machine guns in one squad, mortars, field artillery, and mountain artillery, and even those in the regiment who can fight artillery. It's a luxury configuration.

and occupied the geographical advantage, so that the coalition forces broke through the position, such a shame, the first army group jumped into the river, and it could not be washed away.

He didn't know that the machine guns of the coalition forces were only half of the standard equipment, and there were not many bullets.

In the evening, the coalition forces filled their bellies, prepared thousands of rafts, and began a desperate battle to cross the river.

In the past, such an attack method was still very easy for the coalition forces. At that time, they had air superiority, as well as a strong superiority in firepower.

But now it's different, there is no fuel, the plane can only be a furnishing in the airport, and the firepower advantage has also become the capital army.

Yi Fei Jianggong? The large and small artillery, mortars, and grenadiers of the county base were sent to at least half of the First Army Corps led by Du Ji.

The First Army Corps, which was deployed along the river, was now full of confidence, and did not consider the defense in depth, leaving only some reserves. The defensive lines arranged along the river are all connected with the Yifei Army's defense along the river.

It's just that on the side of Mi County, the Yifei Legion has hit well along the road, and this river is in Mi? The section to the east of the county, the distance is dense? The county base is one hundred and eighty miles away, and the coalition forces of Mi County have not yet reached the river. Not seeing along the river is not worth despairing the line of defense.

Du Ji came to the front line in person, and the coalition forces now have no long-range weapons, and he is not afraid of being bombed. Seeing that the coalition forces began to attack, Du Ji was very excited, "Grandma's, you can finally fight with your eyebrows raised." ”

The excited Governor Du was still pushed into the trench by the corps commander. When the coalition forces were hungry for the attack, they still concentrated the few machine guns to cover the troops crossing the river.

It was not until the raft of the coalition army crossed the center of the river that Du Ji ordered the attack to begin, with the corps commander acting as a herald. After the order was passed down, the momentum that erupted from the blocking position startled Du Jidu.

The cannon in the rear is a little far away, and the firing sound is not very shocking, and the sound of the mortar is even quieter, but the sound of machine guns like bursting beans is connected.

Although most of the machine gunners have touched the machine gun for the first time, the buckle machine still knows it, and as for whether the hit is accurate, you can see it by looking at the fire chain, and many machine gunners are wasting bullets.

However, Du Ji was not distressed at all, next to each machine gunner, there were a pile of bullet boxes, and a few boxes of bullets were shot, how could they be more accurate.

What scared Du Ji was not the overwhelming rain of bullets, but the attack of the gunners, who were able to hit the surface of the river, and fired the shells out the moment the attack order was given.

The first shell is usually a test firing, but this test firing blew up the surface of the river, and when Du Ji saw it, he raised the river surface by more than ten meters at once.

When the bombed water column fell, there were no fragments of the raft visible on the river, let alone the coalition soldiers on the raft.

Not only Du Ji was stunned, but the machine gunners also involuntarily stopped shooting, and the target was gone, so what else to shoot?

The mortar on the position was also stupid, the artillery in the rear did not know the situation, and when they saw that the artillery observer was stunned there and did not move, they jumped to their feet in a hurry, why was there no sound in front? What if the enemy takes advantage of the opportunity to rush over? (To be continued......)
