Chapter 890: Robbing Gobalton

As soon as Christine led the Fifth Brigade to less than five kilometers south of Gobalton, Deng Chunhua took the lead in attacking, one cavalry battalion stayed behind, and two cavalry battalions were like lightning, straight into the flank of the Fifth Brigade, like a hurricane, tearing the flank defense of the Fifth Brigade fiercely!

Suddenly, although Christine knew that the opponent was strong, she didn't expect them to be so rampant, and only one cavalry regiment dared to take the initiative to attack a fully equipped infantry brigade! It's really bold, bold!

Christine hurriedly commanded the two infantry battalions on the flanks to meet the attack, ready to repel the opponent's attack, but the cavalry came and went like the wind, and did not give the Spanish Fifth Brigade a chance to entangle at all.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the Fifth Brigade did not pay many casualties, but the entire Fifth Brigade was dizzy and unbearable by the cavalry!

"Christine, if it goes on like this, we are too passive, you must know that there is still the main army behind the other party, if we are entangled like this for a night, tomorrow the other party's main force will arrive, but how can we hold it low?"

Chief of Staff Joaquin shouted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Christine's face is pale, it's really annoying, this group of cavalry is specially making trouble for themselves!

"The order was given to the artillery battalion to launch an artillery attack on Gobalton, and the 13th regiment, under the cover of artillery, launched a surprise attack directly to the front! Capture Gobalton! ”

At the sound of an order, the artillery of the 5th Brigade launched a fierce artillery bombardment towards Gobalton, and one shell after another fell on Gobalton's town, destroying one house after another, and in an instant, the flames soared into the sky, and the cries were continuous, and Gobalton fell into a sea of fire!

Deng Chunhua looked at the Spanish infantry who were about to storm with a calm face, and knew in his heart that the moment to decide the victory or defeat was coming, no matter what, he must insist on nailing the Fifth Brigade to the death outside Gobalton, and if Gobalton was lost, the commander's strategic intention would undoubtedly be frustrated, and the intention of quickly completing the occupation of the entire south-central Luzon Island would not be realized!

"Third Battalion, prepare for a counterattack!"

Deng Chunhua gave the order to charge, that is, to launch a counter-charge towards the opposing infantry regiment! As long as you don't give the opponent too much time, it is possible to rush into the opponent's queue before the opponent has time to release the gun, and give the opponent a heavy blow!

The cavalry battalion is roaring!

However, Spain's army is not a fool, no matter how poor the quality of the Western army is, it is not much worse, let alone a power like Spain? When the cavalry charged forward, the infantry regiment immediately stopped advancing and began to prepare for platoon firing, but now in the process of charging, the strict platoon firing formation could not be used, and it could only be reluctantly carried out irregular volleys.

Even so, the cavalry battalion still encountered huge resistance, and the bullets in the sky were volleying into the air, even if the cavalry battalion was extremely fast, it would cause great trouble!

A cavalryman was shot in response, and although the speed of the cavalry charge did not slow down, the casualties were too great!

Fortunately, the cavalry also held a horse pistol in their hands, shooting at each other, the cavalry casualties were not small, the infantry regiment was not easy, one by one the Spanish soldiers fell under the horse pistol, and once they were directly impacted by the cavalry, the casualties were definitely not small.

The most terrible thing is that behind the thirteenth regiment, the flanks and rear of the thirteenth regiment are the two cavalry battalions sent out by Deng Chunhua, and now an infantry regiment has broken forward, and it is less than a thousand meters away from Gobalton.

Now that the most dangerous time has come, there must be no retreat!

The cavalry battalion commander shouted, and the two cavalry battalions rushed straight over from the flanks and rear, flanking back and forth!

In the rear, Christine's heart was shocked, and her face was horrified, this cavalry was really desperate, and it launched another assault in front of so many infantry! You can't call their hands, once they succeed, they will be scrapped with one of their own infantry regiments!

"Order, the 14th Regiment immediately rushed forward, pressed up, and must protect the safety of the rear of the 13th Regiment!"

Finally, the strength of the two sides is still mixed together, a fierce battle, although the cavalry occupies the advantage of impact, however, the strength is too small, but a thousand people, the opponent is indeed close to the strength of three thousand people, a surprise attack, a little cheap can be, hard fighting, the cavalry can not occupy an absolute advantage, and in the rear, there is an infantry regiment eyeing it.

Now is not the time to play with life, guarding the key pass is the most important thing, Deng Chunhua whistled, the cavalry broke through, killed back Gobalton, and then the ruins of the wall, guarding the position.

On the opposite side, the attack of the infantry regiment came to an abrupt halt and had to retreat in an attempt to organize another attack.

Christine's ruthless teeth itched, however, he was also helpless, although his own forces occupied an absolute advantage, but it was not so easy to take the opposite position, and the cavalry of others could contain themselves at any time, but they could not launch a full-scale attack!

It's not too early to go on the offensive.

Christine knew in her heart that the army had been marching rapidly for days, coupled with a fierce battle, the consumption was too great, and if the fierce battle continued like this until tomorrow, the main force of the enemy army would come, and his tired division would be absolutely dangerous.

"Order, the whole army stops attacking, the guard battalion protects the artillery position, don't be attacked by the cavalry, the thirteenth regiment immediately builds a defensive position, it's unrealistic for us to take Gobalton on the opposite side, first seek self-protection, as long as the other party can't quickly impact Ding Alan City, then we will be considered victorious, as for Gobalton, don't grab it if you can't get it back, it's important to preserve your strength!"

Christine shouted in a deep voice, with a thick sense of unwillingness and helplessness in her words.

The Spanish army hurriedly took action and began to prepare for defense, on the other side, since the Spanish army no longer attacked, Deng Chunhua would definitely not take the initiative to provoke an attack, as long as it was until tomorrow, the chief of staff led the main force to kill, not to mention that the other side has one brigade, even three brigades are not our opponents, fight hard with them, that is a fool's business!

Waiting, the long night is long, for both sides, it is extremely difficult, however, it always has to get through, the dawn has just passed, Luo Bicheng led the main force of the provisional first division to Gobalton, the big battle, just kicked off!
