Chapter 826: Bloody Red Mountain (2)
The British infantry regiment had just let out an angry roar, straightened up, and launched a charge forward, and on the trench, more than a dozen muzzles suddenly appeared!
It is more than ten muzzles, there is no superfluous, but these muzzles are all six-eyed, or eight-eyed, it is the Gatling heavy machine gun, the Lu army dug a pit in the position, and buried almost all the heavy machine guns under the sign, in addition, the top is also concealed with sand and gravel, and the scouts can't see that there is heavy machine gun fire here without careful observation!
More than a dozen Gatling heavy machine guns, one by one, began to spit out tongues of fire ferociously, and began to sweep desperately towards the front, and rows of bullets fired towards the British troops below the mountain!
Suddenly, Lasford had no precautions at all, he had already advanced to a place less than two hundred meters away from the forward position, he really thought that the Lu army had run away, unlucky he launched a comprehensive charge, directly ahead, more than a thousand British troops have entered a distance of more than 100 meters from the forward position, the troops are dense, one by one straight body charge, such a dense formation, encountered the most dense and fierce heavy machine gun fire in the world, so can there be a good?
The British troops in front were swept to the ground one after another, and in just over ten seconds, the British troops who rushed to the front had already fallen three or four hundred people!
The British army was completely defeated, terrible, too bad! The British soldiers on the ground broke their legs and broken their arms one by one, some even had their intestines knocked out, their stomachs were directly pierced by heavy machine gun bullets, and some were hit in the head by bullets, and they were shot in the head by high-speed rotating heavy machine gun bullets, and their heads were shattered!
At a distance of more than 100 meters, it is an iron plate, and a heavy machine gun can make a hole, let alone flesh and blood?
"Lie down, lie down! Take cover! ā
Lasford was so stunned that in the time he was stunned, a large number of soldiers were killed! The death is so miserable that it is unbearable to see!
With the roar of Lasford, the British troops all lay on the forward positions one by one, and they didn't even dare to move, but they didn't attack when they were lying on the ground?
That's impossible!
The muzzle of the heavy machine gun can be adjusted at an angle, the heavy machine gunner lowered the muzzle and started another **** downward, although the crosshair dropped a lot compared with what he just thought, and still sent some British troops into the ghost gate, lying on the ground still didn't work!
The British army was lying on the ground and shooting indiscriminately, trying to organize the Lu army to shoot and cover the retreat of their own people, but the Lu army was completely hidden in the trenches, and the bullets would not turn, where could they be hit?
"Retreat, retreat!"
Lasford had to give the order to retreat, and one by one the British troops bent down and fled in embarrassment towards the bottom of the mountain.
In less than two or three minutes, the British army paid the price of more than five hundred casualties! It's so painful, it's terrible!
Rogers was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
Chinese is too ****** insidious, too insidious!
"Ah...... Order, concentrate all the artillery fire, aim at the opponent's fire point, and bomb hard! Lao Tzu must take down the Red Mountain and kill none of them! ā
Rogers roared angrily, this loss is too big!
With the issuance of the order, the artillery fire of the British army was once again powerful, and one shell after another hit the front of the Lu army's position, blasting the sand and gravel on the trench everywhere, and the dense artillery all hit the first line of defense, which naturally also formed a certain pressure on the Lu army's position, and some of the shells fell on the edge of the tunnel, and the explosion would still form a certain damage to the soldiers, however, such a time is too rare, after all, the shell landing point is definitely not so accurate, just fell in such a position, and as a veteran, The Lu army's prediction of the landing point of the shells is very accurate, and it can be avoided in advance, and it is not so easy to break down the defensive force of the Hongshan position.

Wave after wave of shells bombarded the Red Hill position, and a thick layer of scorched earth appeared on the position, and most of the trees on the mountain were destroyed by the explosion, which was extremely tragic.
In the rear, Horton led the main army to come up, and he was surprised to see the shells of the two infantry brigades ringing non-stop, where is there such a waste of shells? As soon as it came up, it was such a rapid artillery offensive, so what should be done later?
"Rogers! Herbs, what are you doing? Why only shelling, and not attacking? ā
Horton shouted angrily.
"General Houghton! General Houghton! ā
Rogers and Herbs hurriedly shouted.
"Tell me, what's going on? Where are you bombarding indiscriminately like this, you must know that our big war is still ahead, such a waste of shells, if we really fight a decisive battle with the Lu army, we will suffer a big loss if we have insufficient artillery reserves! ā
Horton's face was very unsightly, since the beginning of the war, it has not been a long time, but more than an hour, but the British army has already hit thousands of shells on the Red Hill position.
"General Horton, we don't want to do this, an hour ago, we launched a feint, this group of ****** actually played yin, and did not block the attack, until our forward, less than two hundred meters near the front of the position, they launched a counterattack, more than a dozen heavy machine guns opened fire together, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and lost a whole battalion of troops at once! The half-hour-long bombardment did not affect the Lu army at all, and their positions were built too distinctively! ā
Horton was taken aback, and a whole battalion was wiped out at once! If you don't feel sorry, it's fake, no wonder Rogers and Herbs are angry like that!
Horton took the telescope and looked into the distance, but on the top of the mountain, there was still gunsmoke, and under the shroud of gunsmoke, he couldn't see anything really.
Horton said in a deep voice: "It is absolutely not enough to attack like this, order an infantry regiment to press up, and at the same time send two battalions to advance from the rear, ready to try fire suppression, and also, artillery bombardment, under the cover of artillery, to charge, where is there a single infantry charge?" Fools do that, without the cover of artillery fire, who will fight if people don't beat you? ā
Rogers and Herbs turned red and stopped talking, yes, it's mainly Lasford, you kid charge, won't you reserve a certain amount of troops in the rear for fire cover? It's all pressed up at once, what a waste!
The two of them didn't want to think about it, they were about to storm less than two hundred meters from the position, and you didn't even provide artillery support, and you came to blame Rasford, it's really thick-skinned enough......
