Chapter 183: Pockets

The advancing troops of the Silver Wolf Empire, on the outskirts of Lunda City, encountered the stubborn resistance of the Silver Wolf Column.

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the advancing troops of the Silver Wolf Empire had only advanced less than 15 kilometers, and they were still almost 20 kilometers away from Lunda City.

"Boom-boom-" After countless shells covered the position on a hill more than once, more than a thousand wolf clan officers and soldiers wearing leather armor actually launched an attack on the position on this hill in a dense charging formation.

Among them, there were more than 100 officers and soldiers of the wolf clan, holding heavy steel shields in their hands, and rushed to the front.

However, when the more than 1,000 wolf clan officers and soldiers rushed to the halfway point of the mountain, at least dozens of machine guns on the hilltop position suddenly opened fire, and even those wolf clan officers and soldiers holding steel plate shields were knocked down by the dense firepower.

Because dozens of machine guns on the hilltop position used armor-piercing shells, even the heavy steel plate shields had no way to protect these wolf officers and soldiers who had reached the level of "warriors".

After dozens of machine guns from the hilltop position opened fire, a number of shells fell into the ranks of the charging wolf officers and soldiers.

Under the double blow, the attack of the silver wolf army was quickly defeated, and the more than 1,000 wolf clan officers and soldiers who participated in the attack were able to retreat alive in the end, and there were less than 300 people.

"Smack-" The commander of the 16th Army, Jisla, angrily threw the telescope on the ground, "A small hill has not been taken even ten times, if your third division can't do it, I will transfer the second division!" ”

For the sake of this small hill, Gisla has already used 2 infantry divisions.

The 4th Infantry Division of the 16th Army had failed to take the hill after seven fierce attacks, so Gisla transferred the troops of the 3rd Infantry Division under his command to replace the 4th Infantry Division.

Nawumu, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 16th Group Army, gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, please believe our 3rd Division, I will reorganize the troops, launch a charge again, and definitely take down this hill!" ”

"Then don't hurry up! The face of our Royal Army cannot be lost on this small mountain! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Nawumu gave a military salute and hurriedly turned around and left the forward headquarters.

After Naoumu, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 16th Army, left, the commander of the 22nd Army, Volco sighed and said: "I can't complain about the troops below, it's really that the human resistance army outside Lunda City is too difficult to gnaw." ”

This time, the Silver Wolf Empire gathered 2 group armies, 4 infantry divisions and 6 independent divisions, with a total of 330,000 troops to attack Lunda City.

According to the order of the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, the commander of the 16th Army, Jislalai, was the commander-in-chief, and the commander of the 22nd Army, Volko, was the deputy commander-in-chief.

Jisra then said with a wry smile: "We are now almost equivalent to fighting against the Zhou army of the Han and Tang Empires, and the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army of the Han and Tang Empires is indeed very strong, no wonder we can almost eat the 29th Group Army and the 39th Independent Division."

We have now suffered 30,000 or 40,000 casualties in our divisions, but we have not yet seen the walls of the city of Lunda.

I really don't know how many casualties our troops will suffer when we finally take Lunda City! ”

Faulco said helplessly: "The empire should really insist on destroying the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, and the human resistance army in the empire, without the support of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, would not be able to achieve such a big climate at all." ”

"There is no way, the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires has a powerful navy, and even the combined naval fleets of our Silver Wolf Empire, the Golden Lion Empire, and the Red Tiger Empire have all suffered defeats in front of the Zhou family's navy, so that our Royal Army does not even have a chance to land.

Moreover, judging from the situation here in Lunda City, even if the Royal Army of our Silver Wolf Empire, as well as the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire could land on the Zhou family's several feudal towns, they might not be able to achieve the final goal. ”

"I heard that the Royal Navy is preparing to send out to cut off the sea passage between the Han and Tang Empires and the Barbarian Niu Empire.

If it weren't for the weapons, ammunition, soldiers, and various materials provided by the Zhou family from the Han and Tang Empires, it would have been much easier to fight the human rebels in the future. ”

Gisra leaned over and picked up the telescope that had fallen to the ground, and found that the lens of the telescope had been broken by herself, so she threw the damaged telescope to an adjutant next to her, "Get me a new one." ”

Then Gisla said to Falco: "That's all for later, I just hope that the next battle can be easier." ”

"It's impossible to be easy, and now we can only grit our teeth and fight hard against the human resistance."

After repelling the tenth charge of the Silver Wolf Army, Mu Hui, the commander of the first battalion of the 212th Regiment of the 21st Brigade of the Second Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column, who was guarding this hill, counted the number of people and found that he had an infantry battalion of more than 800 people under his hand, and there were less than 400 officers and soldiers left who could continue to fight.

However, Mu Hui thought that all the sacrifices were worth it, and in front of their hilltop position, at least four thousand wolf clansmen had fallen, and there might even be even more in number.

Mu Hui is the eldest son of Mu Si'an, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Yuan Zhenwei Army.

Jingsheng City is also the first city that the Zhou family can fully control.

Although Mu Si'an later took off his military uniform and became a businessman, when he saw that the Zhou family was becoming more and more powerful, he let his two sons join the Zhou family's army.

Mu Hui was leading a part of the officers and soldiers to repair the trench that was blown up by artillery shells, when the deputy battalion commander Yu Youpu ran over, "Battalion commander, the regiment headquarters has an order, let our battalion immediately evacuate this position." ”

Mu Hui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "Our position is quite complete, and the terrain is dangerous, why did you give up?" ”

"Battalion commander, let's stop researching, hurry up and carry out the order!"

"Good! Inform the brothers to retreat immediately, and not a single one of the lightly or seriously wounded will be allowed to fall. ”

At this time, in the inconspicuous small building in Lunda City, Song Heng, the commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Silver Wolf Column, reported to Xiang Tao: "Commander Xiang, I have ordered the troops on all positions on the front line to take the initiative to abandon their positions and retreat. ”

Xiang Tao looked at the military map on the table, nodded and said, "You have to put this silver wolf army in so that you can make a pocket for them."

Where are the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions, as well as the 4 separate brigades, now? ”

Originally, Xiang Tao planned to use Lunda City to attract the attacking army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and then let the other 4 infantry divisions and 4 independent brigades of the First Front Army of the Silver Wolf Column take the opportunity to capture the two important towns in Bauhinia Xing Province - Bolai City and Listin City.

It's just that the 4 infantry divisions and 4 independent brigades of the Silver Wolf Column have not yet started operations, and Xiang Tao received information from Hu Qi that the Silver Wolf Army has strengthened the defenders of Bolai City and Listin City.

In this way, the plan to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the cities of Bura and Ristin, can only be aborted.

After all, these are two tough battles, and if the defenders of the two cities have too many troops, even if the Silver Wolf Column can capture these two cities in the end, it will have to suffer very heavy losses.

With the current family background of the Silver Wolf Column, it is not extravagant enough not to consider casualties.

So Xiang Tao immediately formulated a new plan, preparing to eat a big bite and directly eat the army of the Silver Wolf Empire.

"The 1st, 3rd, and 1st Independent Brigades have arrived at their designated positions, and the 4th Division, 5th Division, 2nd Independent Brigade, 3rd Independent Brigade, and 6th Independent Brigade should also be able to arrive at their designated operational positions before the early hours of this evening."

Xiang Tao rubbed his hands, "I hope we won't be able to eat this time." ”
