Section 314 Tiger Leap - The Mainstay (2)

This time, as soon as the Qing army went up the mountain, they were greeted by a small number of bullets, although they were few and most of them were accurate, and they only ran to their heads, so that the soldiers attacking the mountain in front tried their best to hide their heads in a safe place.

The petty officers shouted hoarsely to their brethren not to fear the bullets that flew at them, but their heads were still well hidden behind stones or stakes.

After all, the number of Qing troops was too many, and although they were frightened by the casualties of only a few hundred lives, they still had no choice but to march upwards under the shouts of the officers, and in front of them was the ridge on the top of the mountain beam where a large number of brothers had died in the morning, and most of the soldiers showed frightened expressions. It was there that the morning claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people in almost an instant.

The soldiers of the Qing army were not very afraid of death, but in the face of such a sudden explosion that made people have no way to resist, no one would feel that their hearts were cold to the point of shrinking, even though the sun was so hot that it almost burned people's lives.

At this moment, the loud firing of the general cannon and the red-coated cannon was heard from the bottom of the mountain, and one after another flowering cannonballs flew to the ends of the U-shape, where they exploded and raised thick columns of black smoke. Almost instantly, the gunfire on the top of the hill stopped, and there were no more accurate projectiles that hit people in the head, and the Qing soldiers on the mountainside felt relaxed for a while, and their steps quickened, and at the same time they prayed in their hearts that the "good" sound of the cannon would not stop.

It took nearly two hours for them to finally reach the ridgeline. The panting soldiers lay on all fours and poked their heads out. "Bang" In a deep sound, the back of the head of the first Qing soldier who poked his head out burst open in an instant under a terrifying force, like a watermelon, but the pot was a ball of white flowers stained with blood.

Under the shouts of the leading officers, more people straightened up and crossed the line of death. Then a strange thing happened, when a large crowd of people ran by, but there was no storm of gunfire and explosions, which seemed to bring hope to the soldiers who were still worried about their hearts a moment ago.

As the number of people crossing the ridge increased, cheers began to ring, and more people climbed onto the ridge that had frightened them. Although there were still bullets like flying locusts, after all, it was no longer a matter of no way to live, and the most important thing was that their eyes did not meet the dazzling golden light again. They saw clearly, there, right there, in the middle of the mountain beam, on a small dirt bag, clouds of white smoke were constantly spewed out. Seeing the Qing soldiers rushing up here, they almost laughed out loud with joy, as long as they ran there, everything was over!

With this thought in mind, the Qing soldiers once again converged into a torrent, rushing towards the place where the tongues of fire were constantly sprayed. "Rush ...... Yes...... Laa...... "Ahh Facing the small position and the white smoke that is constantly puffing. They were like a torrent of blue, rushing towards the tiny flames, and yes, if they collided, they were sure that they would not be extinguished.

"Boom...... Boom......" explosion rang out, and spider mines jumped up from the grass where it was hiding, exploding blank spaces in the cyan torrent. But the cyan flow of people was really like water, and this blank space was soon replenished by the cyan figures flowing behind them, and the tide was still alive, and at such a speed, they would soon break up the last resistance there.

Li Gang picked up a grenade from the edge of the trench and mounted it on a rifle to shoot at the crowd of Qing troops. The grenade that flew over exploded in the dense crowd, raising clouds of black smoke, although the powerful lethality of the grenade brought a large number of casualties to the Qing army, but this could not stop them who were shouting wildly, maybe such fragmentary casualties were nothing to them who were fanatical!

Just as Li Gang struggled to throw a grenade out of his hand again, he only felt that his head was hit by something. The metal helmet made a crisp sound, his head was impacted, and then there was a loud roar in his ears that overshadowed the sound of the Qing army's cannon under the mountain, and the dizziness made Li Gang's legs limp...... backwards.

“…… Sir...... The chief ......" The correspondent shook Li Gang's body and woke him up.

"It's okay...... It's okay......" Li Gang shook his head, which was still dizzy, and struggled to stand up with the support of the messenger, looking out of the battle line.

The small hill of only 50 square meters guarded by 100 people was completely surrounded by enemy troops. The soldiers in the trenches were still fighting hard, and not a single one flinched or fled. Of course, there was nowhere to escape at this time, and a large group of Qing soldiers were shouting and rushing to the last position of the gunfire. They're only about 30 meters away from here.

Li Gang pushed away the correspondent who was supporting him beside him, and shouted loudly, "Pistol shooting...... Pistol Shooting...... "The last rapid-fire revolver is almost their last killer weapon except for directional mines." Six hundred rounds is not a lot over a vast area, but if fired simultaneously in a very short period of time, its power is obvious.

The more the Qing soldiers approached this infantry position, the more frightened they became, and the spider thunder that exploded from time to time in the ground pushed the teams that rushed forward to the front team, and when they saw that there were only about ten zhang left from there, the soldiers who came to attack from three sides converged together and boosted their morale, regardless of the large number of lives taken by the explosion, but the dense sound of shooting in unison here rang out at the same time, and the sound echoed in this valley like thunder, and the projectiles like rain rushed together in an instant, and the people who were running fell in large numbers.

The sniper teams were scrambling through the trenches to the air passage in the middle of the position, and it was time for them to evacuate. The wounded and the dead were picked up and carried by others to the last place. The ropes of the air passage shook and the evacuation began, two groups of four people could be lowered at the same time on one rope at a time, and it took about half a minute to slide down the mountain beam, and three ropes could slide down twelve people at a time, and it took about four to five minutes for all the people to evacuate.
