"Yingza, it's a big deal!"

After the staff officer received the information from the 219th Division, his whole face turned white with fright.

"Say! What's going on! Ye Xiaoqing knew that something big must happen, but as the commander of a battalion, he couldn't mess around.

"A heavy charioteer, coming at us in the back, is only ten kilometers away from the 32 salient!"

Ten kilometers?

Here is 5 km from the 32 salient, which means that the heavy tank division is only 15 km from the 2 battalion, which is half an hour's journey for a roaring heavy tank!

O Heavy Rider!

The air in the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion instantly condensed, and everyone was shocked by the news.

Half an hour later, a chariot division appeared, and now only 2 hours have passed since the allotted 6 hours.

The specific intelligence quickly turned around, the assault group composed of nearly 100 heavy combat vehicles and 500 armored vehicles and infantry combat vehicles was only half an hour away from the blocking line, and the theater urgently mobilized three airborne divisions, which would arrive at the battlefield in half an hour for airborne landing, and the ensuing orders required the 219th Division to be under the jurisdiction (temporary jurisdiction) of all units, be sure to hold on until the airborne troops arrived, and at the same time cooperate with the airborne troops to hold on to the battlefield.

There is also good news that the enemy's magicalized troops, scattered on a 14-kilometer front, will not be too concentrated in the 32 salient.

This is good news, more than 600 combat vehicles and armored vehicles spread out for 14 kilometers and used together, the power is worlds apart.

To put it simply, if Ye Xiaobu faced a convoy of one hundred combat vehicles, armored vehicles and infantry chariots, he would definitely have the power to fight back by relying on the position, but if the number doubled to two hundred, Ye Xiaobu estimated that he would be able to resist it, but what if it was three hundred?

More than 200 combat vehicles, armored vehicles, the 2nd Battalion only escaped, only the more than 400 vehicle-mounted machine guns can make the 2nd Battalion breathless, although small missiles hit the chariots no problem, but under the absolute power, the 2nd Battalion is iron, and it can't carry it.

Fortunately, these nearly 700 chariots, armored vehicles, and infantry chariots were scattered on a 14-kilometer front, and the Crusaders were not unaware of the strength of the chariot cluster, but if their chariots were too concentrated, with the terrifying firepower of the Imperial Air Force, most of the vehicles would be reimbursed on the way.

Even if it is spread out 14 kilometers wide, the 2-hour rapid assault road still loses 3%.

Although the situation is much better than expected, it is still very serious! Ye Xiao hadn't thought of a plan to deal with it, the support of heavy artillery had already stopped, and as soon as it stopped, the pressure on the front line doubled.

This is something that can't be helped, the heavy artillery group is now only ten kilometers away from the enemy's magical troops, and they can only deal with turning the muzzle and aiming their fire at the enemy's magical troops, speaking of which, the heavy artillery group has done its best - with the range of heavy artillery exceeding 30 kilometers, they should have been clear about the threat a long time ago, but in order to support the front line, they have been holding on until now.

Ye Xiaojiang's gratitude for the heavy artillery cluster was quickly suppressed, the current situation of the 2nd battalion was not ordinarily bad, there was a sea of strong enemies attacking in front, and there was a heavy group like a monster in the back, if one was not careful, the whole battalion might have to be loyal to the empire this time.

"Leave it alone!"

Ye Xiao's decision surprised everyone in the camp, and the demonic beast-like enemy was about to appear behind him, but he didn't expect the battalion's order to abandon him.

"Don't worry about the back," Ye Xiao repeated the order just now: "We are in a difficult situation, we can only go all out to deal with the enemy in front of us, we have to believe in the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, half an hour, the heavy artillery group will definitely win us half an hour!" ”

……

As Ye Xiao estimated, the commander of the heavy artillery group received a strict order from the headquarters of the 219th Division: Your unit must hold out until 6:30 p.m., at all costs!

The 21st Heavy Artillery Division of the Crusader Army was wrapped in dumplings after the uprising of the 308th Division, and more than 150 heavy artillery pieces in the division, except for 19 that were blown up, the rest became the trophies of the Imperial Army, and also became a nightmare for the Crusaders - in order to manipulate these heavy artillery, the Imperial Army boldly used prisoners of war, and promised to give the legal status of civilians of the Hundred Nationalities Federation after the war, and those who performed well will be given the status of Imperial civilians.

Fortunately, the 21st Heavy Artillery Division is not a direct force of the Holy See and the Demon Temple, they are the troops of a country in the Western Continent located within the influence of the Holy See, and they have not been completely brainwashed by the Holy See.

The artillery of the 21st Division, which was still serving the Crusaders a moment ago, showed great cooperation under the threat of the imperial guns and the temptation of turnips.

But now things have changed!

Colonel Liu Yu, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, cursed vigorously against the crusaders and the headquarters of the 219th Division, but the order never stopped.

"All units pay attention to the shelling of the enemy's heavy groups, guard the battalions, lay explosives in front of all heavy artillery, and are ready to detonate at any time!"

The guard battalion is not the guard battalion in his regiment, but an airborne battalion, which now acts as a guard unit for heavy artillery clusters, Colonel Liu Yu is called Shunkou, but the commander of the airborne battalion obviously understands that he is called, and he agrees very simply.

This is the proper meaning, if the heavy artillery is not blown up, when the enemy occupies this place, the shells will be smashed on the head of the imperial army, and the consequences will be too serious.

"Attention, all units!" Colonel Liu Yu ordered the artillerymen of his regiment: "Wait for the guard battalion to cover the prisoners to withdraw first, 1 battalion commander, let your men lay a detonating device in front of all the shells, leave a company and wait for the enemy to get close to the shell pile before detonating, how many can be blown up, just enough to delay time!" ”

Let the prisoners withdraw first, one is out of the promise of the imperial army to them, and the other is simpler, Liu Yu is still afraid that these people will revolt before the battle - if the revolt before the battle, of course it is very cool against the enemy, but the party that is revolted is his own people, then it will be a lot of fun.

As for why Liu Yu threw the most difficult task to the 1st Battalion, this is simpler, because the 1st Battalion is his old foundation, he has served in the 1st Battalion since the platoon commander, and has gone through the positions of platoon commander, staff officer, deputy company commander, company commander, battalion commander, etc., and the most difficult task can only be left to the most trusted subordinates.

The commander of the 1st battalion responded to the task without thinking about it, and who said that the artillery could not do such technical work as detonation?

"Major Fang," Colonel Liu Yu called to the battalion commander of the airborne battalion: "After your retreat is completed, you must organize a defense on the spot near the 32nd salient and the connecting line, and you must hold out until half past six!" I will have the 2nd and 3rd battalions set up a defensive line behind your department! ”

Battalion Commander Fang should be tasked with the task.

It's 5:43 p.m., and they have to hold out for at least 50 minutes, but according to the time calculation, about 6:10 a.m., the enemy will break through to the defensive line, that is, the frontal hard shock is a matter of twenty minutes - the artillery brothers are not infantry, it is enough to be able to line up to the back, even if the artillery brothers run away directly, the airborne battalion that serves as the guard battalion can only grit their teeth and go up, the technical arms and the coolie arms are originally two natures.

At 5:51, the enemy's tanks could already be seen, and the artillerymen began to retreat in turn, leaving only the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company to hide a few hundred meters from the various artillery bunkers.

In the final analysis, the heavy artillery positions were too scattered, and the guard troops could not care about all of them, so they had to abandon their positions.

For the sake of these heavy guns, the crusaders did not dare to open fire, they still had the idea of capturing, but the artillery regiment did it very neatly, and when retreating, they blew up the barrels and gun compartments one by one, so that it was useless to even change the barrels, and they could only overhaul - the time for overhaul, and the enemy could not afford to wait!

Although the artillery ran very fast, people were still being hit, and Colonel Liu Yu angrily smashed the wall in the observation post, and every time he saw an artilleryman killed, he had to yell and curse.

A bunker stacked with shells exploded when a heavy tank approached, hundreds of heavy artillery shells exploded collectively, and a mushroom cloud suddenly rose, the tank naturally did not avoid the fate of being blown up, looking at the tank that was thrown dozens of meters away by the air current, Liu Yu's heart finally felt better.

The shells in the artillery positions were not placed together, but stored in countless piles - this was also to avoid the unpredictable consequences of being hit, but this time these shell piles became terrifying anti-tank mines.

There were 4 combat vehicles and 13 armored infantry fighting vehicles that were affected by such terrible mines, and the impact was death, which could be regarded as revenge for the artillery regiment soldiers, but in order to detonate these shells, 9 fighters did not escape in the end.

Liu Yu was carried by his subordinates and escaped from the observation post, and the enemy was only 3 kilometers away from the observation post, so if he didn't run, he would have no chance.

"There are still people who haven't run out, I'm not leaving!" Liu Yu was reluctant to leave, because there were still dozens of artillerymen running away under the pursuit of the enemy's armored vehicles, as the regiment commander Liu Yu must leave with his subordinates, and in the end, it was a battalion commander who shot and carried the regiment seat unconscious with a stick and ran away.

After Major Fang saw Colonel Liu Yu, who was being carried unconscious by his subordinates, he thought that something had happened to his temporary commander, so he hurriedly ran to inquire, and after learning that he was hacked by the commander of the first battalion, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly - however, for the first time, he was full of respect for this temporary commander who was not explosive.

The artillerymen established a defensive line behind the airborne battalion, and behind them were the captured artillerymen who were caught off guard, because of this move, some of the prisoners who were about to move extinguished their other thoughts, the imperial army did enough fun, retreated let them first, and put them at the back when they blocked, although there were still guards, but this friendship was too precious to them.

Probably because his nerves had been tense, Liu Yu woke up after only a few minutes of coma, shook his head that was still dazed, kicked the 1st battalion commander who ran over to the side with one kick, and then immediately asked: "Are the soldiers all back?" ”

"There are still 21 brothers of the 1st company who have not returned...... "The staff officer whispered on the side, at this time the enemy had already launched a charge on the position of the airborne battalion, and the roaring group of combat vehicles and armored vehicles had been roaring incessantly, and those brothers of the 1st company who did not come back were already more than lucky-they were going to detonate expensive shells "mines", and if they did not come back at this time, I am afraid they will never come back......

The Colonel let out an angry roar like a beast, but reason quickly suppressed his anger, "Get ready to fight......

The breakthrough of the position of the airborne battalion was already imminent, and the artillery regiment was no longer in a position to complain about anything else at this time - if it could not hold the position, then all go to the company of the brothers who died in battle.

6:19 a.m.

The positions of the airborne battalion were broken through by groups of tanks - although there were still fighters holding their positions, several small resistance points were formed on the positions, but at this moment the enemy's guns were already aimed at the artillerymen.

"The array is here! The dead are still there! ”

Colonel Liu Yu can only make such a request, no matter what, they must survive the last ten minutes, and even they have to hold on longer, because at this time, there are transport planes hovering in the sky, and the white dandelions have just bloomed in the air, and it may take longer for them to organize a defensive line to resist......

……

Ye Xiao wanted to cry.

Since losing the support of artillery, the 2nd Battalion has fallen into the vicious circle of the previous blocking battle, obviously killing and wounding an astonishing number of enemies, and even the corpses in front of the position are piled up, but the enemy still attacked the position, even if it was called the "devil's breath" special incendiary bombs arranged several fire curtains one after another, but the enemy still crossed the road and boarded his own position.

If it was before, the 2nd Battalion could still draw out armored vehicles and infantry combat vehicles to counterattack, but now there are only less than ten armored vehicles and infantry combat vehicles left in the whole battalion, and after fully supporting the airborne positions of friendly neighbors, Ye Xiao can no longer send such a firepower cluster, and in desperation, the reserves are put into the battlefield.

Ye Xiao likes special operations from the bottom of his bones, and he exchanges the minimum price for the greatest results, which is undoubtedly his favorite, probably because he was influenced by his more than ten years of special forces career in his dream, so he put a lot of energy into his special platoon reconnaissance platoon, but now, he watched these elite soldiers consumed in positional warfare.

I want to cry in distress, but these soldiers were sent to the battlefield by him!

"Battalion, the enemy broke through the left line, and the company commander Sun Han was killed!"

The report of the communication corps made Ye Xiao's heart suddenly twitch, the captain who was born in the airborne troops, is the officer whose prestige is second only to himself and Wu Si in the entire 2nd battalion, and the 1st company is also the most trustworthy unit under the leadership of Sun Han, the most difficult and difficult task, he will subconsciously hand it over to the 1st company, and Captain Sun Han will use the hardest work to give himself a satisfactory answer.

But now, he's dead......

He died.

"Battalion everyone, follow me! Go to the left wing! ”

Ye Xiao couldn't even give this subordinate a few minutes of mourning now, grabbed a gun, and took the staff officer of the battalion headquarters and the only four guards to rush to the left flank.

Captain Sun Han sacrificed and died at the most critical time of this blocking battle, but the first company did not collapse, but still fought to the death with the enemy on the position, yes, it was a fight, at this time there was no more talk of the squad position, and the unyielding soldiers were mixed in the enemy group, with brilliant blooming lives, declaring their sovereignty over this position.

Ye Xiao, who was carrying more than a dozen reinforcements, joined the two groups of the special platoon and rushed into the battlefield like moths to a fire, even though there were now more than three hundred enemies on this battlefield, but they rushed very resolutely.

The communication soldier who followed Ye Xiao was the first to die, a bullet opened half of his skull, and the 19-year-old soldier fell on the battlefield.

Not even a single call.

"Kill!"

Ye Xiao was like a madman, charging hard, charging desperately, scattering the deadliest bullets at all the enemies in front of him, and the two special teams loyally guarded Ye Xiao, so that Ye Xiao could rush faster and farther!

"The camp is coming!"

"It's a camp!"

"Camp!"

More than a dozen soldiers who were surrounded by the enemy, suddenly saw the fastest and most decisive figure of the charge, and couldn't help but shout wildly, they were ready to be loyal to the country, but they didn't expect that at this critical time, their battalion commander appeared less than fifty meters away from them - even if the battalion seat was alone, it proved that the battalion did not give up on them!

"The Imperial Army is mighty! Imperial Wuwei! The warriors roared out their oaths and vented their emotions with even more ferocious firepower.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Ye Xiao roared wildly, and several of his subordinates were devoured by bullets dozens of meters away from him and smashed into pieces, it was fragments - he forgot all his scruples and responsibilities, and just wanted to use killing, practice for his brothers, and see off his subordinates.

Camp?

Hearing the wild shouts of the imperial soldiers, the crusaders had already realized Ye Xiao's identity, so they aimed their firepower at this man who was charging like a devil, trying to defeat the last fighting intent of the imperial soldiers.

But they obviously underestimated Ye Xiao's military literacy, and also underestimated the determination of the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion to protect Ye Xiao.

Less than 20 coverers stood up desperately to defeat the threat for Ye Xiao, even if the price was their own death, but they still did not hesitate - the staff officers of the battalion headquarters knew Ye Xiao's feelings for his subordinates best, they saw the battalion more than once staring at a notepad full of names written on it in a daze, and more than once saw Ye Xiao silently telling for the fallen comrades, for such a camp, they were willing to exchange their lives for his safety, not to mention, the camp at this moment was already like a benchmark?

The 1st Battalion is advancing!

When Major Hahaha shouted the slogan "Rush with me", the 1st Battalion turned into a demon crawling out of hell, fearless of life and death.

The battlefield is the most morale-boosting charge order, and there is nothing more than "follow me"! When the commander's armored car takes the lead, which car group dares to lag behind? What warrior dares not to speak out?

Kill!

Charge!

Destroy these enemies and claim the final victory!

The 1st battalion went crazy, they broke away from the whole brigade and plunged into the enemy's line like steel knives, and the 1st battalion, which had less than 500 men, was stunned to play with the momentum of a chariot cluster, and was invincible.

When the first battalion crossed the enemy's blocking line and entered the friendly army's own blocking position, the beautiful dandelions floated in the sky, and at this time, the rest of the 2nd Brigade was still at least a kilometer away from cutting through the enemy's blocking line!
