Xie Dong walked to Liu Erga's side, "Erga, where is your platoon leader?" ”

"The company commander, platoon commander and deputy platoon commander all died."

When Xie Dong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander of Liu Erga's platoon were all classmates who Xie Dong had taken classes together in the crash course of the Zhoujia Army Academy.

"Where's the squad leader? Where are the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of your platoon? ”

Liu Erga said sadly: "The company commander, the 3 squad leaders and the 3 deputy squad leaders, four died, and two seriously injured were carried down.

Now we are in a row, and there are only 11 veterans left, and there are more than 20 new recruits left. ”

Xie Dong, who was red-eyed, squeezed Liu Erga's shoulder hard, "Erga, I will appoint you as the acting platoon commander of the first platoon and reorganize the remaining brothers."

Even if we are all dead today, we can't throw away our company's position! ”

"Huh? Am I a platoon commander?

No, where will I be a platoon leader! ”

"Erga, there's no time for you to grind, hurry up and reorganize the platoon, the next wave of attacks by the wolf clan should be coming soon."

After Xie Dong finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Liu Erga, and continued to walk forward along the trench with his waist bent.

Liu Erga's ammunition handman, Wang Gouyu, couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother Erga, you will also be an officer in the future!" ”

Next to him, a veteran named Sun Tieniu quipped: "Ergazi, if this battle is over, we can still survive, you kid has to invite the brothers to a big meal, you are equivalent to being promoted to four levels in a row!" ”

Then a veteran named Liu Achou said: "Ergazi, you should ask the company commander, if you are glorious, what level of your pension will be given." ”

Wang Achou's words made Liu Erga's eyes light up, so he let go of his throat and shouted: "Company commander, I am the acting platoon commander, how much is the pension?" ”

According to the pension standard set by the Zhou army unit, the pension for ordinary soldiers is 2,000 silver coins, and the pension for platoon commanders is twice as high as 4,000 silver coins.

Xie Dong, who was in the distance, couldn't help but turn around and scold when he heard the words: "Liu Erga, can you not worry about the pension?" ”

"Company commander, what standard do I have?"

Xie Dong shouted angrily: "It will be issued according to the level of the platoon commander!" Liu Erga, don't keep thinking about these useless things, hurry up and reorganize the remaining brothers in a row! ”

Liu Erga heard that he was killed in battle, and he could pay a pension according to the rank of platoon commander, so he couldn't help but wave his fist happily.

Then Liu Erga shouted: "Wang Gouyu, Sun Tieniu, Liu Achou, the three of you are now squad leaders, hurry up and pick someone, and the remaining brothers will reorganize the three classes." ”

Wang Gouyu said helplessly: "Brother Erga, where will I be the squad leader!" ”

Liu Erga patted Wang Gouyu's shoulder, "Brother, I won't be a platoon leader, isn't this all about catching ducks on the shelves!"

Besides, being the squad leader does not suffer a loss, and the pension has 3,000 silver coins! ”

In the forward headquarters of the 32nd Marine Brigade of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy, the brigade commander Nichka said to the division commander Rofell with a depressed face: "At present, the losses of the three infantry regiments have exceeded 1,800 people, and the casualties are too great. ”

Laufer's face was very ugly at this time, not only the 3 infantry regiments that participated in the attack suffered heavy losses, but the heavy artillery battalion belonging to the division headquarters also lost 4 120 mm large-caliber howitzers in the confrontation with human artillery.

Rofell did not expect that the artillery equipped by the Zhou army, although it was inferior to its own 120mm howitzer in caliber, it was comparable to a 120mm howitzer in range.

As a result, the heavy artillery battalion suffered losses in the artillery battle of both sides, and was simply unable to suppress the artillery of the opposing side, which was one of the reasons why the three infantry regiments involved in the attack suffered heavy losses.

Rofer pondered for a moment and said: "The human army on the other side can be said to be an elite force with very strong combat effectiveness, not only equipped with a large number of repeating rifles, heavy machine guns and artillery, but also has tenacious combat effectiveness.

Our 3rd Marine Division met an opponent this time.

Suspend the offensive for now, and tomorrow morning, I will report the battle situation here to the commander and see what the commander means. ”

Early in the morning of the 27th, Longra, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy, received a telegram from the commander of the Third Marine Division, Rofehr, and even wondered if the telegram had been translated by the telegrapher.

The Third Marine Division, known as one of the elites of the Silver Wolf Empire, was unexpectedly blocked by a human army.

Even overnight, the 32nd Marine Brigade of the 3rd Marine Division was inflicted with losses of more than 1,800 people, almost losing the strength of 1 infantry regiment.

Longra asked Deputy Commander Gorri in a deep voice, "Could it be that the information we got earlier was wrong?"

Is it true that the Ganyang Zhou family only has less than 6,000 people on Xiangshi Island? ”

"Commander, this information has been confirmed in many ways, and there should be no mistakes."

"Then how to explain the matter of the 32nd Marine Brigade?

Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Ganyang Zhou family's army is already comparable to the elite troops of our Silver Wolf Empire? ”

Gorry shook his head, "This is really a bit unbelievable, but judging from the content of Rofer's telegram, the army of the Zhou family in Ganyang is equipped with a large number of repeating rifles, heavy machine guns and artillery, and in terms of weaponry, it is indeed not weaker than the Third Marine Division."

In addition, there are more than 100,000 humans on Xiangshi Island, and the army of the Zhou family in Ganyang can also recruit many recruits from it. ”

"Is there any news from Yerk?"

"Last night, Yelk did not let the sortie fleet fight overnight.

However, this morning, Yelk will continue to command 10 battleships to shell Xiangshi City and several warships of the Zhou family in the port. ”

"Is it possible to have a battleship under the command of Yelk to provide long-range fire support to the 3rd Marine Division?"

"The blocking position chosen by the Zhou army's army is very clever, even if the main guns of the battleship with all the main guns can barely shoot the shells into that area, it is impossible to predict which side of the army will fall in the end."

Longra was silent for a moment before saying, "Send a telegram to Rofeld and tell him that I don't want to hear the process, I just want to hear the result."

If he felt that his troops were insufficient, he could transfer the remaining troops of the 3rd Marine Division on Pusha Island.

He was also reminded that the casualty figures of the 3rd Marine Division must be controlled, and if it was too ugly, I would not be able to protect him. ”

After receiving a call back from the commander of the Third Fleet, Lofer, the commander of the Third Marine Division, couldn't help but curse in his heart: This fat pig is called a brother when he collects money.

Now I have a problem, but let me solve it myself!

If I can figure it out myself, I'll send you some telegrams!

The commander of the 32nd Marine Brigade, Nichka, glanced at the telegram in Rofeld's hand, and then cautiously asked, "Division commander, what should I do next?" Do you continue to assault? ”

There was a fierce glint in Rofer's eyes, "Transfer the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 33rd Marine Brigade to the 3rd Marine Brigade as well, and the 4 infantry regiments will take turns to attack."

Before it gets dark, break through the positions in front at all costs! ”

When Nichka heard this, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "Division commander, didn't the commander tell us to control the casualty figures?" ”

Rofell pouted, "What's the point of a small casualty figure if you can't win?"

Didn't the commander also say that he only wanted the result, not the process! ”

"Division Commander, if the casualties are too great, will the Admiralty and the Governor's Mansion have anything to think of you?"

"Views? There will be no opinion on a victorious general, the Admiralty and the Governor's Palace! ”
