Chapter 129: Attack (3)
"Rush." As the guard platoon commander gathered all the remaining more than 100 fighters in the position together and retreated to a military blind spot. The fighters of this company had already rushed into the position. In the anger of the soldiers, the dozens of wounded Portuguese soldiers lying on the ground wailing, no doubt, were all dealt with by the soldiers. The shooting corner area, which was held by the enemy, was tightly surrounded by soldiers.
Just as the fighters surrounded the remnants of the Portuguese soldiers, an APA officer in a major's uniform arrived. The company commander hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Report to the battalion commander." Most of the enemy has now been wiped out. Only a small part of the turtles were cowering there, stubbornly resisting. ”
"Well, are the casualties of the soldiers large?" The battalion commander nodded and continued to ask.
"Report to the battalion commander, just how many casualties were when attacking the opponent's headquarters just now, 12 soldiers were sacrificed when the entire attack began. Also, in the subsequent charge, 9 fighters were sacrificed. So far, a total of 21 fighters have been killed in the battalion, and 9 fighters have been seriously wounded and incapacitated. If it weren't for the armored brothers coming to help, the casualties might have been greater. The company commander said with excitement on his face.
"Good, good fight. It is very good that the offensive can have such small casualties. The commander of the third company, if my guess is correct, this commander is a major general, he must not be willing to be trapped in this dead place, waiting for us to slowly eliminate him. "For the troops to pay such a small cost of casualties, hundreds of enemies were annihilated. The battalion commander was still very happy, and analyzed to the company commander next to him.
"Battalion commander, you mean, this damn guy is going to break through." Listening to the words of his battalion commander, the company commander's eyes couldn't help but light up. Said excitedly.
"What do you say? Don't forget, the army has to consume supplies and food, and what he has in his hands now is enough for him to last a few days? The correspondent immediately conveyed the order to the instructor who was guarding the western flank: if the enemy broke through from there, except for leaving a platoon, for symbolic resistance. The rest of the troops are arranged by the instructor himself, and a pocket formation is arranged at the back door, and we will immediately load as many people as he can come out, and I can't let any of them go. As for the men of your third company, you will personally lead me and continue to attack me. The battalion commander commanded in a loud voice.
"Yes, Battalion Commander." The battalion commander's messenger took the order.
"The commander of the third company, still the old tactics, ordered the artillery platoon to cover and continue to attack me. But be sure to keep the casualties under control for me. Even if this damn guy doesn't want to break through, we're going to beat him through. Looking at the departing communications soldier, the battalion commander turned to the commander of the third company beside him and ordered.
"Yes, battalion commander, don't worry." Then the commander of the third company replied with excitement on his face, turned around and began to direct his troops to continue the attack.
At this time, the backyard of the Feng family's compound was indeed chaotic. Feng Batian, who was rescued by the captain of the guard, was sitting in the main hall with a gloomy face at this time, thinking about possible countermeasures without saying a word. And inside the center, more than a dozen aunts and wives dressed in fancy clothes gathered together, listening to the sound of guns outside the courtyard, and constantly crying in front of Feng Batian.
At this time, the Portuguese army, which was cowering in a corner, was in chaos at this time. The commander, who had been rescued by his own guards, was sitting on a stone with a gloomy face, thinking about possible countermeasures without saying a word. The Portuguese soldiers surrounding the commander looked at him with horror on their faces.
"Damn, these won't let it go. Captain Wang, you immediately give me all the courage to cheer up, and those who dare to coward the enemy without fighting will be executed on the spot. The commander looked at the soldiers with a timid expression and said:
"Yes, sir." Immediately, the soldiers still had frightened expressions on their faces just now, and after listening to their commander's words, they all temporarily put away their fear.
"Second Lieutenant Calles, how many more of us can continue to fight." Seeing that the soldiers around him were basically injured, the commander shook his head and asked the guard platoon commander in front of him.
"Sir, plus my men. Here, there are still 180 people who can continue to fight. Sir, I have a sentence that I don't know if I should say or not? After answering, the guard platoon commander thought for a while, and still asked tentatively.
"Tell me, what time is it now, just say anything." The commander nodded, impatiently.
"Yes, sir, forgive me for offending. Your Excellency the Governor has told you to hold out for a week. But our strength is less than one regiment. There is a serious shortage of weapons and equipment. And the other side is a modern army with sophisticated weapons. What about our soldiers, there is a serious shortage of guns of all kinds. Basically, two soldiers with one gun at the same time. And that's not all. These rifles actually have old-fashioned singles. The Governor told us to hold out for a week. You think it's possible. If we resist any longer. I'm afraid I can't explain it here. It's not that you don't fight, it's that you can't fight. So the subordinates have the audacity to surrender. It's just that you're going to shoot me. I'm going to say the same thing. The platoon commander of the guard platoon said:
"Hehe, surrender, Second Lieutenant Calles, don't you see that those chimpanzees outside here are holding their back for my life at this time, can he make us surrender?" After hearing the words of the guard platoon leader, the commander smiled bitterly.
"Sir, this society is no longer the barbaric era, and besides, we still have nearly two hundred people, and all of them are well-trained. Once you play with your life, who is afraid of who will still talk about it. Those don't dare to risk the world and kill us all, and the example of the British is already in front of us. At that time, the other party will have to exchange money between us and our government. Your price is estimated to be no less. Killing you is more than worth the loss. The lieutenant affirmed.
"Ensign Calles, what you said is true? Can you really surrender to them and save your life? Listening to the words of his guard platoon commander, the commander's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Sir, don't worry, I promise that I will save your life. However, just in case we have to negotiate with the other party, after all, we don't know each other's temper very well. Seeing the commander with an excited face, the second lieutenant had a look of embarrassment on his face.
