Chapter 444: The End
Everyone was taken aback by Shi Huiji's boldness.
This is not a combat unit of the Marine Corps, but a unit temporarily assigned to the Marine Corps during the war, and he only has command authority but no personnel authority for Han Company Commander, and when they saw the pistol pressed on Han Zhong's temple, everyone held their breath.
"This guy is really looking for trouble!"
Shi Niji thought in her heart: "Could it be that such an old cadre with old qualifications can't be promoted until now!" ”
But in this atmosphere now, he can only cooperate with Hao Fu Wen and said: "Old Fu, don't be nervous, Commander Han ......"
"I'll go!" Han Zhong, the young company commander, was very angry: "At least that is also the unit of our Jiaxing detachment, it is better to be killed by Yi soldiers than to be killed by you!" ”
Fu Wendao's hand was put down, and Han Zhong said to the soldiers behind him: "What Deputy Commander Fu meant, everyone has also seen, now our brothers of the Jiaxing detachment are working hard in front, we can't ignore the life and death of this group of robes!" ”
He would rather speak louder now: "There are hundreds of Yi soldiers, and there are hundreds of Qing demons, but we are seventy men, standing up to the sky, follow me!" ”
"Wait a minute!" Now it was Fu Wendao who spoke, and he handed over his pistol, binoculars, and a large eight-piece pocket watch: "Company Commander Han, I have offended, please forgive me, as long as you can rush over this time, I recommend you to take my place!" ”
Fu Wendao's current position is coveted by the entire Hong Army, he is the first deputy commander and battalion commander of the Marine Corps, and he will take over Shi Huiji's squad to serve as the commander of the Marine Regiment at any time, but this Han Company Commander just took the revolver and the gun over: "No need, our Jiaxing detachment will have my place, brothers, follow me!" ”
Now it's not okay if you don't rush, you have said such cruel words before, and Han Zhong, the newly appointed company commander, is the first to rush to the front: "Follow me!" ”
If they hadn't caught up, in that case, Liu Chang would have to take a guard squad beside him to go up for hand-to-hand combat, in fact, Liu Chang was already about to raise his saber, but at this moment, he saw that Han Zhong's company had already killed: "Kill!" ”
Although there were only seventy troops, this added countless strength to the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, and they shouted: "Our Han company commander has come up!" ”
"Han Niangniang, good job!"
"Xiao Han, I can't treat you badly!"
Liu Chang watched them cross his command, and then rushed into the front line, starting a new battle with the French and Qing troops who rushed up.
Now the entire battlefield is an ensemble of iron and fire, and the two sides have not stopped fighting for a moment, and have put all their reserves into it, even to the point that the two supreme commanders, Meng Toban and Liu Chang, are ready to go up to the battle in person, and every small battlefield and small position is fighting.
Montoban watched as the great fighters were lost because of such a small force of rainbow support, and the French army, which had already shown signs of breaking through, finally fell into a melee.
He didn't know what the situation of the Russian army on both flanks was, he only knew that he was indeed standing on the edge of Waterloo now, and it was true that his troops had the upper hand, but as long as the rainbow army put in one or two more infantry barracks, there was a danger of squeezing out his infantry battalion, and if he increased some of his troops, it might even deal a fatal blow to his expeditionary force.
"Good, good!"
Liu Chang saw some familiar scenes in the telescope, there were Nan Bohang and Li Guanglei, they all insisted on being on the front line, in fact, this is already the last line of defense "Baidu set sail with Jiajia", if the French army has another battalion of troops, it can definitely achieve a breakthrough. …,
Both sides kept falling, and then forcibly stood up, trying to make the other side fall first, but such a battle can only depend on God's ruling, and there is only a small variable.
A small detachment also came from the direction of the 2nd Independent Battalion, although the strength was only 20 or 30 people, not even an infantry platoon, but seeing the high wind and brightness of the mixed battalion of the Marine Corps, now the 2nd Independent Battalion has also drawn out the last of its own foundations.
Liu Chang had a smile on his face, he looked at the time, and then at the sky, it was only forty minutes before nightfall, and this was the last Sifeng minute.
But it was also the hardest forty minutes.
"These Chinese people are really difficult!"
The reporter accompanying the army exclaimed: "That is their Royal Highness? ”
Montoban could not but marvel at his enemy: "A true Prince, now commanding an elite army of twenty thousand to fight against us, I must admit that this is a most admirable adversary. ”
The reporter asked a question: "Can we find an artillery gun or a batch of Mini infantry gunners?" ”
"That's not what nobles should do!" Mentoban declined the offer: "In fact he could have found a cannon or a group of Mini infantry gunners, but he is a worthy opponent." ”
In fact, now both sides are unable to draw troops from the front line, once they are drawn, it is very likely that the whole line will collapse, and seeing the rainbow army from the flank and draw an infantry platoon over, Meng Toban felt very uncomfortable, but he still maintained the aristocratic demeanor he deserved.
For an old and young general like him, who was born as a lower-ranking officer, aristocratic demeanor was all they had fought for all their lives, and the reporter accompanying the army did not ask very appropriately: "If the battle is not over after sunset, are we going to fight overnight?" ”
"That's terrible!" Meng Toban told the reporters accompanying the army: "In Crimea, we have never been in the habit of fighting at night, and the Chinese people are no exception!" ”
For the army of this time and space, night fighting is really a very difficult thing, there has never been a small detachment-style night attack, and putting a large army into a night battle is something that only a madman can do.
And Major General Montoban was by no means a madman, but a sane old officer, who also wanted to rise to the position of marshal of the French Empire under His Majesty the Emperor, and he told reporters who did not have much military knowledge: "If after nightfall we have not finished the fighting, we will have to stop!" ”
"A grape glass?" The reporter laughed: "Then ...... now." ”
Meng Toban had to take a look at the sky, it was already late, in fact, even Liu Chang's image had become cloudy, the sun was no longer visible, and it would soon be night.
He had to think about what would happen if the battle lasted until after nightfall, and he quickly came up with a statement: "You see the situation of the battle, although the enemy has invested a lot of troops, but the overall situation is that we are attacking, the enemy is defending, and the enemy's losses are greater than ours, if the battle cannot be resolved today, tomorrow we will deal a fatal blow to the enemy!" ”
"So you mean we can stop after dark?" The adjutant interjected and asked, "We must inform our troops as soon as possible, otherwise we may not be able to contact them in the dark!" ”
This is a very likely thing, now that the battle line has been staggered and complicated, some units have broken out too far, and both flanks are the troops of the Rainbow Army, Major General Mentoban did not want to make a decision so quickly, but he was still ready to nod. …,
It was only before nodding that he saw a fast horse galloping towards him, and he stopped nodding and told his adjutant instead: "Let me hear from the Russians, right?" Maybe they can bring good news! ”
"Damn ......"
As Liu Chang expected in advance, the Russians did not take the most active action after defeating the first reserve brigade, directly threatening the back or flank of the frontal defense line of the rainbow army, and the reserve brigade was after all four infantry battalions and several directly subordinate companies, even if they were defeated by the Russian army in the field battle, they were still barely able to hold their positions on the whole.
Therefore, as long as it gets dark, everything can be done, but when he saw the fast horse rushing towards Meng Toban, Liu Chang couldn't help but sigh and said, "We should find a sharpshooter......
"It's useless! His Royal Highness King Yan. One of the guards told Liu Chang: "Outside of our range, even the best Minnie infantry gunners will not be able to hit such a target!" ”
The defender continued: "I do not advise you to retreat if the French launch a final general attack......
"That's right, I should stand here heroically, this is my job."
"Not really." This guard replied to Liu Chang: "I think that with the combat effectiveness of the current "Baidu Departure Text" in our army, there is at least half a chance to hold out until night, if you retreat first, then the whole battle situation will be over!" ”
"Even if it is transferred, we are all cavalry, and there is time for the critical moment, and it is easier to transfer at night than during the day!"
Liu Chang was taken aback when he heard him speak in an orderly manner, and immediately asked, "Which regiment sent it?" It's rare to see you in normal times. ”
"Yan Wang Dianping, I was selected by the second company of the first battalion of the first regiment of the first division!" The soldier said excitedly, "Zhu Jinlei." ”
"Good!" Liu Chang smiled: "I think you're good, this battle is over, you can learn from Nanbo Hang!" ”
Zhu Jinlei wanted to jump up excitedly, he, a small tenant who had never had a bright future in the township, might really have a day to get ahead, but he clenched his fists to prevent his excitement from exploding.
He knew that he could not make any mistakes, and the Russian cavalry had already run to the side of Major General Mentoban, and he did not even jump down or salute him, but only said something to the commander of the expeditionary force, and after a minute or two, Major General Mentoban's adjutant had already begun to move, and he rode forward on horseback.
What kind of orders will he bring?
Liu Chang glanced ahead, and it should only be twenty minutes before it completely darkened.
This bloody battle has come to an end! )
In the front row, he brought Ada's brother slender and obscene sister Ye Ye
