The results of the battle damage caused by the large-scale assault of the bandits were counted, and one soldier of the Huaxia Army was killed, 5 were seriously wounded, and 16 were slightly wounded.

In Borneo, he is accustomed to seeing life and death every day, and thinks that the casualties are minimal, but Hu Zhen, who cherishes human life very much, and the loss of the Huaxia army makes him heartbroken, but he knows that even if he has the most advanced weapons in the world, he must have the best soldiers to operate, and to train a strong army, sacrifice is indispensable, and he must fight with bandits with a hard heart in order to train a group of tenacious soldiers.

Compared with the Huaxia Army, the bandits who were in an unfavorable position to attack on the back suffered more heavy losses, with 337 corpses in front of the battle, and the wounded were not counted, plus the loss of the sneak attack at dawn, the bandits lost a total of 433 people in one morning, but the bandits had a team of more than 4,000 people, and these losses did not reach the level of collapse.

In order to avoid the outbreak of plague in this tropical region, Hu Zhen ordered dozens of soldiers to dispatch flammable sulfur oil and other items on the bandits' corpses in front of the position, and then lit a fire, burning all the garbage that might become the bandits' "advance fortifications" again, and the scorching smell spread throughout the entire Qingyanzhai area, so that everyone covered their noses and couldn't eat anything.

Smelling this stink for the first time, Hu Zhen sniffled and looked at his pocket watch, it was already one o'clock at noon. Looking at the bandits at the bottom of the mountain, there was no sign of immediately launching another strong attack, and immediately arranged for the first battalion to withdraw from the position to rest, and the second battalion, which had been on standby, came to take over the defense. In addition to the wounded, the snipers continued to stay in their positions to assist in the defense, and the special operations team also withdrew from their positions to rest because of the new mission arrangement.

After lunch, the position was busy, and according to the gains and losses of the previous battles, everyone was busy reorganizing the position for a new attack by the bandits.

Su Wenzhen suddenly saw an abnormal situation on the bandit position, and immediately came to report to Hu Zhen: "Not good! Bandits have artillery! ”

Hu Zhen picked up the telescope and took a look, and sure enough, he found that 3 bronze cannons and 1 German Krupp field gun in the bandit formation had been transported to the front of the position and were being installed and debugged.

And Hu Zhen and the others have been busy arranging and tidying up their positions just now, and the sentries responsible for monitoring the bandits are new recruits, and they have never seen this kind of antique artillery, and when they saw the bandit artillery transporting artillery, they just thought that the bandits had one or two hundred more people to send and didn't care, and when Su Wenzhen found out and reported to Hu Zhen, the bandits were already ready to start loading and shooting.

Before Hu Zhen could make any decision, he heard a very dull sound from the bottom of the mountain, and a cannonball flew in, smashed thirty or forty meters in front of the position, and exploded with a bang, splashing earth and gravel in all directions, and raising high smoke and dust.

Some of the fighters stared at all this with wide eyes with curiosity, at a loss.

Hu Zhen immediately issued a hurried order: "All personnel immediately enter the anti-artillery fortifications!" ”

When building anti-artillery fortifications on the position, Hu Zhen and others did not expect that these indigenous bandits still had artillery, just to hone the soldiers' ability to build a standard position, they did not expect that they would be crooked, and this anti-artillery fortification came in handy.

Immediately after the first round of test firing of the bandits, the firing range was adjusted, and 4 guns were loaded at the same time and fired a salvo. The bombing shrouded the Huaxia Army's position in a cloud of gunpowder smoke and flames.

Fortunately, because of Hu Zhen's order, all the personnel had entered the anti-artillery fortifications before the first salvo of the bandits, and easily survived the shelling. After more than ten minutes of shelling by the bandits, only one unlucky soldier fell off a stone and hit his nose because the anti-artillery fortifications were not very strong, resulting in a little nosebleed.

Before the battle began, the detachment led by himself did not fire a single shot and hit a single enemy, but one of his own men was wounded, although only a little nosebleed.

For this loss, Liang Kunri, the commander of the second detachment, couldn't accept it, so he jumped up angrily and scolded his mother, and ran to Hu Zhen to ask: "Take out our mortars and bomb them!" ”

Hu Zhen saw that the injured soldier was just a little flesh and skin, and he didn't even need to bandage it, as long as he raised his head to stop the bleeding, the fart was gone, so he denied Liang Kunri's proposal to use his own artillery: "When our artillery is not ready to be used, let's hurry up and let everyone participate in actual combat training, and the soldiers will no longer be afraid of the rumbling of artillery after a shelling!" ”

The bandits' shelling lasted about fifteen minutes, and the weeds and branches piled up on the hill burned, and the flames and black smoke rose into the sky.

Seeing this situation, the bandits under the mountain were very satisfied, thinking that with such a fierce shelling, the Huaxia army on the mountain was not dead, but at least half of them were killed by the cannons, or these Chinese people who had never seen cannons were frightened by the cannons. Who knows, the bandits' shelling only slightly wounded one of the opponents.

After the shelling stopped, the bandits happily formed a charge and rushed up the hill.

After the bandits stopped shelling, Hu Zhen authorized Liang Kunri to take charge of directing the battle after noon.

Seeing the dense formation of the bandits, this time, it was Liang Kunri's turn to be happy, and ordered to use a long bamboo pole to push away the burning weeds and branches, so as not to obstruct the line of sight when shooting, and the other personnel hid into the battle position to prepare for battle.

The bandits who were moving forward only saw a few people in the opposing position hurriedly pushing away the burning objects, and did not see the other personnel who had entered the battle position along the trench, thinking that these people were trying to push a way to escape, so they accelerated the pace of their upward advance.

Seeing that the bandit charging team entered the distance of 30 meters before the position, Liang Kun saw that the best chance to kill the enemy was coming, so he gave an order: "Fight!" ”

First of all, the sniper's sniper rifle went off, and the bullet flew along the straight trajectory towards the bandits at the front, burrowing into their ** and tearing their bones and internal organs.

Many of the bandits who were hit by the bullets didn't even have time to snort, and they fell to the ground with wide unwilling eyes.

Then the other soldiers of the second detachment also began to shoot, they had not been trained in actual combat before, and their marksmanship was not necessarily very good. However, because the results of the previous team gave them confidence, the snipers killed the enemy in front of them, which was a real encouragement to them, and the salvo of the dense bandit team only 30 meters away was still good.

After the heavy shelling, there was still such a strong firepower on the hill that the bandits were taken by surprise, and they retreated one after another, and the shrewd ones lay on the spot, or crawled down the hill with a rolling belt.

The bandits thought that this attack was originally just a relaxing walk to receive the position, but they did not expect that after only being entangled with the Huaxia Army for half an hour, they only left a pile of corpses and were beaten back.

After the bandits in charge of the attack withdrew from the range of their rifles, the bandit artillery under the mountain began to bombard again, and after the bombardment stopped, the bandits rushed up, and Liang Kunri commanded the soldiers to enter the position and shoot the bandits down with a fierce fire.

After another artillery bombardment, the bandits rushed up for the third time, but they were still hit by the strong fire of the Huaxia army.
