After the first wave of the horse bandits' attack was repulsed, Zhang Cheng immediately judged that the enemy's next attack was likely to use all his strength, so he ordered Xiao Lizi to immediately launch a signal flare. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Lizi took out the signal gun, pulled the trigger at the sky, and with a "bang", a colored signal flare slowly rose into the sky, and then exploded instantly, blooming with colorful light that could be clearly seen within a radius of dozens of miles.

Zhang Cheng then ordered his troops to shrink the defensive line and compress the three lines of fire into two, the first line of fire still dominated by machine guns, supplemented by rifles. Zhang Cheng ordered the soldiers to fight openly as long as the enemy was close to the position, and there was no need to save bullets in this battle, because reinforcements were about to arrive.

Zhang Cheng, the second line of fire, ordered the whole army to concentrate all the grenades and grenades, and as soon as the enemy showed signs of rushing into our positions, he immediately threw grenades and grenades at the gaps.

In the end, Zhang Cheng felt that it was still not safe, and used grenades and grenades to arrange more than a dozen ground mines at a distance of 250 meters from the front of the position.

By this time, the horse bandits had already regrouped and launched a final attack on our troops. A gust of wind learned wisely this time, and instead of rushing towards our army in a swarm, it sent 1,200 horse bandits to launch a strong attack on our army's frontal position, and the other 300 horse bandits divided into two lines and launched a roundabout attack on the left and right sides of our army's position.

Zhang Cheng secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, if the enemy's first attack was carried out in this way, it was very likely to pose a great threat to our army, and it was still unknown whether the cavalry battalion behind could arrive in time before the guard company was wiped out.

But it was too late for the horse bandits to use this trick now, first of all, the horse bandits made the big mistake of underestimating the enemy in the first wave of attacks, wasting 500 troops in vain, causing the horse bandits' strength advantage to be greatly reduced.

Secondly, the fierce gunfire of the first attack may have alarmed the battalion hanging far behind our troops, who probably rushed to the battlefield before they could send a signal from our troops.

However, even so, a bloody battle in our army is already inevitable.

In only two or three minutes, the horse bandits who were attacking head-on had already entered the front of the position 200 meters, and they were about to advance to 250 meters, and before the sound of gunfire rang out on the Red Army position, these horse bandits suddenly became even more frenzied, some raised their sabers, some raised their rifles, howled and rushed towards the blocking position.

With the loud sound of "boom", the land mines arranged by Zhang Cheng began to explode one after another, and the horse bandits were suddenly blown up on their backs, and whether it was a person or a horse, blood and stumps flew all over the sky, and wails sounded everywhere.

But even so, the bloodthirsty horse bandits became even more crazy when they saw the blood, and they roared proudly, and rushed forward step on the corpses of their comrades, not afraid of the land mines of our army.

Zhang Cheng looked at the horse bandits who were charging frantically from behind the position, and couldn't help but be impressed by this group of outlaws who took human life as an idle thing, but he hurriedly ordered; "Fire!"

With Zhang Cheng's order, in an instant, the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions rang out everywhere on the grassland, and the fierce horse bandits still rushed forward without fear of death.

Seeing that the charging horse bandits suffered heavy casualties, and the bandit leader behind the horse bandits was also in a hurry, as long as this Red Army was destroyed, 200,000 oceans would be in his hands, and he could not help but do his best. This time, he used all six heavy machine guns at the bottom of the box to provide fire cover for the charging bandits.

Under the cover of heavy machine-gun fire, the horse bandits rushed even more frantically towards the frontal positions of our troops. The six heavy machine guns posed a great threat to our defensive positions and effectively suppressed the output of a part of our army's firepower, and the situation had reached a very critical juncture, and the enemy's automatic fire must be destroyed as soon as possible.

Looking around, since the special operations team did not accompany him, Zhang Cheng himself had the ability to accurately shoot the enemy's heavy machine gunners from a distance of three or four hundred meters.

Zhang Cheng had received special training for a period of time before becoming the colonel in his previous life, but unfortunately the competition was too fierce, and he suffered from a severe cold before the selection, which caused him to miss out on the special forces.

Zhang Cheng quickly prepared to shoot, adjusted his breathing, took aim at the target, pulled the trigger, and with two "bangs", a heavy machine gunner more than 300 meters away was shot in the shoulder and left chest one after another.

"Some hands are raw, and it takes two shots to kill the target." Zhang Cheng said with some dissatisfaction in his heart.

However, after killing a heavy machine gunner, Zhang Cheng's gun sense was also recovered, the shooting rhythm became more and more fluid, hitting the target continuously, and the five heavy machine gunners behind him were quickly reimbursed by him.

The horse bandits are not a regular army, and it is not easy to train heavy machine gunners, when all the heavy machine gunners were eliminated by Zhang Cheng, he couldn't find a candidate for a while, and there were heavy machine guns but no heavy machine gunners in the air, so anxious that he screamed.

At the same time, a large number of horse bandits have broken through the blockade and are less than 50 meters away from our army's position, and because the distance is too close, the casualties of our army are also increasing, and so far more than 20 soldiers of our army have been wounded and died, and the situation is extremely serious.

In the face of the fierce horse bandits, the casualties of our army are gradually increasing, and the soldiers are also red-eyed and continue to shoot the horse bandits, but the enemy is outnumbered, and our army's position is already crumbling.

At the critical moment, Company Commander Wang picked up his machine gun and shouted: "Comrades! The commander is in the middle of us, we must resolutely defeat the enemy, follow me! With that, Company Commander Wang jumped up from his position and shot wildly at the horse bandits who were killing him.

Driven by Company Commander Wang, and under the determination of the soldiers to protect Zhang Cheng, they launched a counterattack against the enemy without fear of death, and the originally shaky position was miraculously stabilized.

The fighters of the second line of defense won a little respite under the charge of the machine gunners, and immediately seized the opportunity to throw grenades desperately, blowing up dozens of horse bandits who had burst into front of the position, killing and wounding a wolf.

Under the cover of grenades, the machine gunners took advantage of the situation to knock down the bandits in front of them, and the remaining bandits were demoralized by the heroic fighting of our troops, and their movements began to become hesitant.

In the midst of a fierce battle on the frontal battlefield, the soldiers of the cavalry platoon engaged in a desperate battle with an enemy ten times their size. Although the cavalry tactics of our army far surpassed the opponent, after all, there was a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and there was only one wave of charge, and ten more soldiers died under the sword of the horse bandits.

Although more than half of the casualties had been killed and there were no fortifications to rely on, the cavalry soldiers still relied on automatic firearms in their hands and skillful tactical movements to repel the attacks of the horse bandits many times, and also eliminated dozens of horse bandits.

The strong combat effectiveness of our cavalry greatly deterred the horse bandits, but there were few soldiers left in the cavalry platoon, as long as the horse bandits launched another charge, the cavalry platoon would usher in the end of the total annihilation.

Once the cavalry platoon is destroyed, the two flanks of our position will lose protection, and our army will be very dangerous. But just when the situation of our army was at its most severe, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Zhang Cheng raised the binoculars and looked, as expected, the cavalry battalion of the first division came to reinforce our army, Zhang Cheng immediately made up his mind that this time he must completely annihilate this horse bandit and avenge the blood hatred of the sacrificed comrades.
