"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~"

With the support of American artillery fire, Colonel Robin Hood commanded the Canadian 25th Brigade to re-attack the Tieyuan defensive line held by the Volunteers.

The Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment, which took over from the 2nd Royal Canadian Infantry Regiment and served as the main attack in the direction of Neutron Mountain, took the lead, and with the support of the 2nd Royal Engineer Battalion and four "Firefly" tanks, it advanced rapidly and soon pounced on the bottom of Neutron Mountain.

Then Lieutenant Colonel Cohen, the commander of Princess Patricia's Light Infantry Regiment standing on the command tank, gave an order, and a Canadian company-level assault group, reinforced by engineers, rushed towards the main position on the top of the hill like a wolf.

However, as soon as they entered the bushes below the mountain, a series of explosions trapped the footsteps of the Canadian company-level assault group, and then Lieutenant Colonel Cohen saw one Canadian soldier after another with broken hands and feet being carried down, and what was even more terrifying.

The continuous casualty seemed to be never-ending, and in just ten minutes, there were more than 30 casualties, and in order to evacuate and treat the more than 30 seriously wounded, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen had to send up to four times the force to meet the minimum operational requirements.

This makes the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment, which has only six companies, lose a whole company of troops for no reason, if only that, even if it is counted, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen can grit his teeth and survive, the key is that no one knows how many butterfly mines the Chinese have scattered in the bushes under the mountain, if it continues like this, then the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment will not need to be an infantry regiment, it can be directly changed into a medical regiment.

"Knock~~Ah~~~"

When a butterfly thunder exploded, accompanied by the screams of Canadian soldiers, the screams of the Canadian soldiers spread throughout the battlefield again, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen could no longer bear it, and turned his face to the commander of the 2nd Royal Engineer Battalion, Major Pike, who had reinforced him, and roared: "Are your sappers blind pigs? Why can't you even find a mine? ”

Major Pike, who was scolded as a pig, looked aggrieved: "It's not that we don't want to solve them, the problem is that that kind of butterfly thunder is too changeable~~!" ~~ state, all the materials used in the whole body are Shuo materials, so that the metal mine detector can not be found at all, not to mention, its own structure is also very sensitive, and it will explode at the slightest touch, and it cannot be ruled out at all. ”

Major Pike was about to cry as he spoke, he was also a veteran of World War II, from the Normandy landings all the way to Cohen in Germany, what kind of mines he had never seen, but he couldn't do anything with China's butterfly mines, and the metal mine detector was almost ineffective.

The unique fuse firing structure makes the sappers feel even more frustrated, and more importantly, this kind of mine is too sensitive, as long as it is touched slightly, it will explode, so it cannot be found, it cannot be dismantled, and the mine that explodes quickly makes the Royal Second Engineer Battalion responsible for supporting it suffer.

So much so that half of the more than 30 seriously wounded were soldiers of the Royal Second Engineer Battalion, for which Major Pike had sent three batches of reinforcements, but it was still ineffective, and he could only let the Chinese butterfly mines blow up endlessly.

Looking at Major Parker with a frustrated face, even if Lieutenant Colonel Cohen had a thousand complaints in his heart, he could only turn into deep helplessness in the end, but fortunately, he was a battle-experienced veteran general after all, and knew that he couldn't blindly do brute force in war, so he glared at Pike silently, and no longer paid attention to this useless engineer battalion commander, but grabbed the command intercom and ordered loudly: "The armored troops and artillery units will give me a hard blow towards the top of the mountain, the company-level assault group will retreat, and C Company and E Company will rush up from both flanks!" ”

At the sound of an order, four "Firefly" tanks modified by Britain based on the American-made "Sherman" tank immediately rumbled to the foot of the mountain, and immediately raised the slender 83.3mm main gun barrel in front of it.

At the same time, the Canadian artillerymen located in the rear of the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment also quickly adjusted the firing angle of the mortars and 75mm howitzers in their hands, and then a cannon burst through the sky, tilting dozens of shells into the positions of the three platoons of the heavy fire company on Neutron Hill without hesitation.

When the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the fire soared to the sky!

With the cover of Canadian armor and artillery units sparing no expense, the C and E companies of Princess Patricia's light infantry regiment immediately bypassed the bushes at the foot of the front hill from the left and right flanks, like two flying arrows, and plunged into the main position of Neutron Mountain.

Seeing that his soldiers rushed to the halfway point of the mountain in a blink of an eye, Cohen subconsciously clenched the lens of the telescope, and his face trembled nervously, in the camera, his soldiers had rushed to less than thirty meters of the main position of Neutron Mountain, as long as he worked harder, this mountain that caused heavy casualties to the Canadian army belonged to him Cohen.

"We won this battle!"

By the time the supporting artillery fire began to extend backwards, the soldiers of C and E companies had rushed to less than 20 meters of the main position, and some of the brave Canadian soldiers had even crossed a foxhole in front and began to rush towards the trenches in the rear.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Cohen's previous experience, to such an extent that no matter how stubborn the defenders were, they could not reverse the defeat, so he began to exhale excitedly, grasped the intercom, and waited for the Canadian flag to be raised on the top of the hill, and immediately reported the victory to the rear.

However, just as he was looking forward to the raising of his flag, there was a sudden "boom~~~" on the main position of Neutron Mountain, and the dense gunpowder smoke accompanied by the sudden rise of dirt blocked the sight of Cohen and others, but they did not cut off the channel of obtaining information about the position.

Because in addition to the explosion, there was also a strong burst of screams and wails......

"Yes...... Be...... It's a broadsword mine! ”

Major Pike, the commander of the Royal 2nd Engineer Battalion, said the name of the lethal weapon at the moment when the explosion sounded on the top of the mountain, and when he heard Cohen's face turned pale, he subconsciously drew a cross on his chest several times with his hand: "God forbid, God forbid ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Cohen silently repeated it several times, but God didn't seem to be at home today, so Cohen's pious prayer naturally became meaningless, because when the dust fell and the smoke cleared with the wind, what came into view was the crater on the surface of the moon, and the Canadian soldiers who were killed and wounded covered the entire hilltop position.

"Oh my God, what have the Chinese done?"

Seeing this, Cohen hissed and roared, and was about to press the last reserve, but before he could move, two 14.5mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, and the muzzles of the four black holes were pointed straight at them......
