Louis said this, but he did not let go of his work, because the two sides had been fighting fiercely for two days, and the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy. The armoured units of the African People's Army (APA) did not play their part due to the terrain of Mount Meru, and could only watch the fighters on both sides engage in hand-to-hand combat from the rear.

Because these tanks could not reinforce the army in the rear became a watchman, in order to be able to observe the situation on the front line as well as possible, these tankmen drove the tanks to the foot of the hill to watch the battle, or as a fixed battery to support the army, because the tank skin is rough and thick, it is basically difficult for bullets to cause damage to the tank, so these tanks do not even dodge, and finally the soldiers jokingly called "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water".

Despite this, the Air Force still did its best to help the fighters, constantly taking off, dropping bombs, strafing, and returning home. Basically, at the end of the day, these pilots flew back to the airport and were carried out of the cockpit by ground crew.

Claude watched the attack from the air, and the two Black Hawk bombers swaggered away from the battlefield after dropping all the bombs in their stomachs. Claude resisted the urge to rush down and use a machine gun to get over it, and ordered the other Black Tiger fighters to turn around and return home, and it seemed that today there was only a futile return, and the British army did not have many decent combat aircraft in Africa. For this, Claude regretted why he drove a fighter instead of a bomber.

Of course, this is only a small microcosm of the battlefield. From the beginning of the war, the African Air Force began all-round support on the ground from several directions. The air force of the African People's Army dropped more than 50 tons of bombs on Mount Meru yesterday, consuming hundreds of thousands of machine gun bullets and dozens of tons of gasoline.

With the support of the Air Force, the African People's Army (APA) broke through the first line of defense of the British during the day, and after breaking through the first line of defense, the African People's Army could no longer take a step forward. But at night, the cover from the air was ineffective, and the British commander seized the opportunity to drive away the infantry, who had not yet participated in the battle during the day, to launch a fierce anti-communist attack on the lines of the African People's Army. The defenders of the African People's Army on the opposite side were paralyzed and careless, and the British army actually recaptured the positions lost during the day, and as a result, the angry Jeriola sent all the defenders of those positions to court-martial.

However, the British defenders on the opposite side had run out of ammunition and food due to insufficient reserves in the early stage, and all units of the defenders were facing a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food. Some troops had to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger or hunt some wild beasts to satisfy their hunger, but soon these things were all eaten, and they could only pull wild vegetables and weeds in the mountains to satisfy their hunger. Under these circumstances, Louis decided to let go of the preset positions on the front line and let the soldiers who had been on the positions for several days withdraw.

But knowing that this withdrawal was out of order. At this time, the proportion of recruits in the British garrison was too high, and it was okay for these people to stay in the trenches and shoot guns, but once they got out of the preset position, they were in a swarm. And some of the officers were also ducks on the shelves, and they had never been trained to retreat, and they couldn't distinguish the direction in the dark, let alone gather the team. An orderly retreat turned into a rout.

On the night of the fourth day, the African People's Army sent a large number of scouts to slowly infiltrate the Meilu Mountains to conduct reconnaissance, and found that the British troops were beginning to retreat on a large scale, and some of the troops that had withdrawn first had almost reached the core of the Meilu Mountains. Seeing this, the scouts hurriedly sent a report to Geriola.

"The British troops began to take advantage of the cover of night to abandon the positions they had just recaptured and retreated massively to the second line of positions in the rear, and I judged that the defenders might be prepared to escape." The scout report reads.

Of course, as a senior commander, he would not agree with the scouts' inferences, and Jeriola judged that the enemy was shrinking his forces on a large scale, preparing to use trees as cover to reduce his own casualties. Although the air force attacks are sharp during the day, there is not much to do at night. Moreover, the mountainous area is seriously limited by the towering trees, which seriously limits the play of the Air Force.

Seeing this, Geriola immediately seized the fighter plane and ordered the attack, and the soldiers, who had been very tired for a day, attacked again. Soon, these warriors pounced on the retreating British army like tigers out of the slaughter. The result was the initial scene of a complete rout of the British army.

Of course, those artillerymen did not take a break, and they were also called by a phone call from Jeriola, and there was no way for the artillerymen to gather urgently one by one, so they once again withdrew their gun jackets, revealing the muzzles of the guns. The shells were loaded into the chamber and the coordinates reported by the reconnaissance were fired, and one after another the shells streaked across the sky in the night, like orange salutes, and then fell with a loud bang. Shells blossomed in the crowd of British troops. The Army seized the opportunity and began to thrust and strike. Cut the retreating British troops into several sections. Soon, the entire second-line position quickly lost its role under the impact of the rout, and the African People's Army, which followed closely, also rushed into the second-line position. A hand-to-hand battle ensued. Just after dawn, all the second-line positions fell into the hands of the African People's Army. The remaining British troops were compressed to less than 10 square meters in the center of the mountain.

The African People's Army then launched an attack on the 10 square kilometres while the iron was hot, but retreated. After dawn the next day, the African army launched four more attacks, all of which ended in failure.

The angry Geriola greeted all of Louis's female relatives, and then the commissar got up and said, "Commander, how about we send several detachments to get rid of their chain of command?" ”

Jeriola shook his head like a wave drum and said, "It doesn't work at all, the skin color of the soldiers on both sides is polarized, one black and one white. It's easy to spot. ”

"Ordinary squads are definitely not good, don't forget that the chairman has formed a Chinese squad, their skin color is about the same as the British, let them take advantage of the dark night to touch in and go straight to the general headquarters of the meal. Finish them off, and then the British army will be defeated. The commissar said:

After listening to the commissar's words, Jeriola patted his head and said, "yes, why didn't I have this trick idle." Call me Lin Sen (book friend cameo) and Zhao Yu (book friend cameo) over. Now it's time for them to help. ”
