2638 Unwilling Retreat Order

"Stop shooting, stop shooting. Don't waste ammo. Bai Ge shouted loudly, waving his injured arm. He was struck in the arm by an iron dart thrown by the Indians. Fortunately, the impact is not very large, but it hurts from time to time.

"Damn it. Indians. Bai Ge scolded, feeling a pain in his arm.

"Sir, it seems that our reinforcements will not be able to stop there." Li He came over and said worriedly.

"Hmm. Leave that alone, they'll come over and see how many casualties we have. Bai Ge asked.

"Three have already died, but fortunately we have grenades, but if the grenades repel one or two enemy attacks, it is estimated that they will not be enough. I mean. Li He said worriedly.

"What?" Bai Ge looked at Li He and asked. Li He didn't know what to say, and he couldn't say it all of a sudden, he looked at Bai Ge hesitantly.

The assault team led by Bai Ge successfully controlled the main commanding height of Fortress 10, with this commanding height, they could easily take the gate of the fortress after receiving the support of the follow-up troops, but when the follow-up forces attacked again after a period of training, they ran into trouble, and they stopped at the position of the trench and could not advance.

And they can only rely on the advantage of the commanding heights to defend, fortunately they are well-equipped, but the ammunition consumption is serious, especially some grenades, if there are no explosive weapons such as grenades, they may not be able to hold such a commanding heights to defend for such a long time, because they are extremely undermanned.

The Indians are also constantly trying to attack, using all kinds of throwing weapons, darts, stones, javelins, in short, they are desperately using all the weapons they can attack, hoping that through these weapons they will be able to regain the high ground of the fortress, so that they can successfully defend their fortress. The Indians on both flanks also continued to draw troops near the fortress gates. The situation has already turned against the commandos.

"Sir, if necessary, I think, we are not, are we, are not, can retreat." Li He thought about it, and after a long ideological struggle, he still said it, after all, this is related to their life safety. Bai Ge came for the medal, he was a standard Qin officer, and his way of thinking about combat was completely different from theirs. But Li He is different, they are here for money, it is best to have money, no money, but also fate, it can be said that they are robber thinking, rich trophies can stimulate their morale, can make them brave to fight, but, in the face of an unfavorable situation, their first thought is to save their own strength, because only by preserving their own strength, the robbers have the next chance to come again.

"I'll think about it, don't worry. Just do your own thing. After listening to this, Bai Ge said calmly to Li He.

"Yes, sir." Li He nodded. Then I went to check my guns. It was their weapon to save their lives, and they had repelled several attacks by the Indians.

Inside the trench.

"Bang bang." Dense gunfire came, and the Yueshi people adopted a gun platoon tactic, but the trench was extremely crowded, and they could only put down three people side by side at most, but the conditions were the same, and the Indians could not spread out in the trench.

"They're rushing." The Yue's soldiers shouted loudly.

A group of Indian soldiers desperately rushed from the top of the trench, they desperately jumped in and fought hand-to-hand with the Yue, in the past, the Indian soldiers could not get close to the Yue, because the sharpness of the muskets made them unable to get close at all, they had to pay a great price before approaching, but the trench gave them a chance. In the trench, the loading of muskets became a troublesome matter, and the Indian soldiers could use the trench to charge directly to kill, or directly rush over the trench, while the Yueshi had no ability to defend, in the trench, their musket formation advantage could not be developed at all, and even the secondary reloading of muskets was greatly restricted.

"Ahh A Yueshi soldier had his arm cut off by an Indian, blood spurting from the breach, his musket in his severed hand. The Yueshi soldier could only use loud shouts to reduce his reaction to the pain.

"Poof." A Yueshi soldier stabbed an Indian soldier with a bayonet. But more camp soldiers rushed over and suppressed him, while the other Yueshi soldiers could only pull out their bayonets, or wave the butts of their rifles as much as possible, and the two sides formed hand-to-hand combat, which was the most hated combat method of Yue's soldiers, but the Indians liked it very much, and the trenches were full of fighting soldiers.

"Sir, no. The Indians used the cover of the trenches to constantly attack us, and our muskets could not be unfurled. A second lieutenant reported to Zhu Jian.

"Sir, we have no choice but to retreat. Our casualties are too great. Fighting in the trenches, we could not spread anything at all, muskets were not as good as a short knife, many of our soldiers could only draw their bayonets to fight, and the casualties were very heavy, so we had to retreat. The second lieutenant reluctantly reported.

"Damn it." Zhu Jian scolded angrily. They were only a trench away from the fortress, but it was such a distance that made it difficult for them to move an inch, and it was hard for him to imagine that the battle in the trench would form such a great pressure on them, and the small trench battle, so that the advantage of their muskets turned into a disadvantage, and the bayonet became their only effective weapon, and after the first shot, they could not load the second bullet at all, which made them lose the lethality of their firearms.

"Sir, all you can do is tell the commandos that we did our best. Let them withdraw, and if this continues, we will be gone, even if it is gone. It was also impossible to reach that position, and the Indians were cunning, and they took advantage of the trenches to stealthily approach us, and the distance between the two sides was sometimes too late for the muskets to fire. The second lieutenant continued.

"I see." Zhu Jian still had some hesitation, after all, the commando team had successfully taken the commanding heights of the fortress, as long as the follow-up troops arrived. However, now the situation was not in their favor, they could not support them, and the battle in the trench became a war of attrition, which greatly limited the use of the Yue's musketeers.

"Sir." The second lieutenant pleaded that if the commandos did not retreat, they would attack again, which they did not want.

"Damn it. Fall back. Zhu Jian reluctantly gave the order. He was very unwilling.
