As night fell, the entire Pacific region fell silent, except for Guam, which was southwest to the fore, still roaring with artillery.

Rows of exploding mushroom clouds rose into the air near the beaches on the north and south sides of the Apra Peninsula, and dozens of British cruisers and frigates opened fire on the sea several kilometers away, carrying out artillery saturation strikes on the small high ground near the beach.

One after another, the British landing ships took advantage of the distant explosion to move quickly, unloading groups of British soldiers near the beach, and then returning to carry the next batch of British troops, and so on.

On some small heights near the coast, the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire still occupied positions, relying on the mountainous terrain and the echelon configuration of firepower, resisting the fierce attacks of the British army.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

In the reinforced concrete bunker, tongues of fire spewed out, and light shot out, forming a dense cross-fire network, which repelled the British soldiers who tried to attack the small high ground again and again.

Every small high ground was full of corpses, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

This is the Chinese Empire's bloody heavy machine gun is exerting its might, and all the British troops who launched a charge will eventually be beaten into a beecom's nest and kneel and lick the earth.

The firepower of the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun was too ferocious, with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, sweeping a large area, making the British pay the price of blood for every charge.

What angered the British the most was that the soldiers of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army were hidden in a small hill, surrounded by a dark bunker made of reinforced concrete, revealing only a shooting hole the size of a human head.

The bloody heavy machine guns fired from the inside outward, with an open firing range, but the British guns had a hard time hitting the machine gunners inside, occasionally hitting once, and soon other Shence soldiers would take over, and the bullets poured out without money. Whoever is exposed will be beaten into a beecomb the next moment, and the dead will not be recognized by the.

In the beginning, the British used Gatling guns to suppress firepower, and although this hand-cranked machine gun also had a fast rate of fire, it still could not compare with the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun. The effect of fire suppression is very weak.

But what made the British army collapse was that whenever the British machine gunners fired, they would soon be headshots, and they didn't know that this was a sniper in the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, and they only thought that the opponent's marksmanship was too accurate, so that the British soldiers behind them didn't dare to touch the machine guns at all.

Forced to do nothing, the British had to turn to the British guns near the coast for support, they spent a lot of time calculating the ballistic position, and finally guided the British guns to blow up the machine gun bunker.

Just after the British were happy to destroy the machine-gun bunker. They quickly charged, quickly capturing the small heights, but the next moment, they were dumbfounded.

I saw that on the anticline, more machine gun firing holes were exposed, tongues of fire were spewed out, and countless bullets drew a dense line of fire, and the next moment the British troops fell in a pool of blood one by one.

Facing the machine-gun bunker on the anti-slope. The British were blinded, because their naval guns could only fire directly. It was not possible to cross the small high ground in front of it and hit the anticline.

As a result, the Chinese and British armies began a long tug-of-war, during the day the British army captured several small heights, and at night, the Chinese Imperial Shence Army launched counterattacks and raids, and recaptured the small heights.

For many days, the British army suffered thousands of casualties. However, the casualties of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army were less than 100. As the attacker, this is the price that the British army must pay, but this price is too great, and the British commander, Admiral Matt, is angry.

"The terrain on the southern front is unfavorable to our troops, and I ask for a postponement of the attack. Because our casualties are too great, and the soldiers are so tired, our casualties will be even greater. Colonel Henry, the commander in charge of the beachhead offensive on the southern front, pleaded.

Matt walked back and forth, pulling at the pain, and it took a long time for him to reply: "Hold on one more day, I have already mobilized troops from Australia, and there will be other troops to replace you soon." ”

Henry had no choice but to go back and continue to comfort his soldiers.

Matt turned his head and asked, "How's the progress on William's side?" ”

"Report that William led the 17th Division to successfully land on the beach west of Aginia, but was only attacked by a small force of Shence Army, and had advanced to Agana ten hours ago, and it is estimated that it should now appear in the rear of the Guam fortress."

Ma Ting nodded, finally feeling a little comforted, and ordered: "Send someone to tell him to speed up the attack, Apra's side has suffered heavy casualties." ”

"Yes!"

The herald set out quickly and returned soon after, as he met a signal corpsman sent by William on the way.

It was not to report the victory, but to ask for reinforcements, because William's 17th Division encountered a stubborn resistance from the main force of the 7th Marine Brigade of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire on the Agana Heights, and suffered heavy casualties.

"What? You mean you haven't been able to make a single move in the past ten hours? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, please send reinforcements as soon as possible, the firepower of the Chinese Imperial Army is too fierce, they fought very cautiously at first, only defending and not attacking, but now they have taken the initiative to launch a counteroffensive, our 17th Division has already suffered more than half of the casualties, if it is not reinforced in time, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated."

"What? You bunch of shit! ****！ ”

Matt was so angry that his old blood almost spurted out, a division of more than 20,000 people, but failed to defeat the Chinese Empire's Shence Army, a brigade of less than 6,000 people, and was counterattacked by others, and there was a danger of annihilation.

This Nima should not be so pitted, has the army of the British Empire declined to the point of such a pit!

Matt couldn't understand that in the past, the equipment of the British Imperial Army was inferior to that of the Chinese Imperial Army, and it suffered two defeats in the Yapian War, but now the equipment of the British Imperial Army has no generation difference with the Chinese Imperial Army, and they all use rear-loading rifles, rapid-fire artillery and heavy machine guns.

"What the hell is going on? Are the rifles and cannons in your hands burning sticks? Why can't you beat people? ”

The liaison officer said with a bitter face: "It turns out that our division has been advancing rapidly without encountering any decent resistance, and when we arrived at the Agana Heights, we encountered the resistance of the Chinese Imperial Army. Their firepower was so fierce that we judged that they were the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army, so we launched a fierce siege, and after paying a heavy price, they attacked the high ground, only to find that the opponent had only two platoons of troops, and at this moment. Our rear ammunition was blown up, and then we were surrounded by the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army, and when I rushed out for help, we had already suffered more than half of our casualties, and we were about to run out of ammunition, so please hurry up and reinforce Your Excellency, Commander. Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out. ”

Matt had already understood that the Chinese Imperial Army had created the illusion of the position of the main force with the strength of two platoons, and then lured the British 17th Division to take the bait, and cut off the ammunition supply of the British army, preparing to encircle and annihilate it.

"Such clever tactics, the Chinese are really sinister and cunning! Damn William, you idiot! I've cheated my 17th Division, I'm going to kill you! Matt yelled, wishing to kill William immediately.

"Our division can hold out for two hours. As long as you reinforce in time, you can use us as bait to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army! ”

"You have a point, what's your name? What is your position? I'm going to promote you! Matt's eyes lit up suddenly, since the Chinese Imperial Army used bait to encircle and annihilate the 17th Division of the British Army, then why didn't he take the plan and use the 17th Division as a bait, and in turn mobilize heavy troops to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army.

The British officer who asked for help was stunned for a moment. He immediately replied: "My name is Bruce, the staff officer of the 17th Division!" ”

Matt patted Bruce on the shoulder. Said happily: "Very good, I lack a smart staff officer like you, you can stay by my side, and I will promote you to colonel." ”

Bruce was a little nervous, and immediately said, "Thank you, General, but I think I should go back to rescue my comrades first." Allow me to pay one last salute to Sir William before coming back to you. ”

"Good!" Matt was pleased, thinking that Bruce was a conscientious officer who did not forget his old officer, and liked it even more. said: "Let the 21st Division and the 57th Brigade set off now, you come to lead the way, you must rescue your 17th Division and destroy the main force of the enemy." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Bruce left happily.

Two hours later, a British lieutenant colonel walked in.

"Report, Dennis salutes you!"

Matt was inexplicably relieved when he saw Dennis coming in, fortunately his nephew did not set off with the 17th Division because of seasickness, so he said happily: "Fortunately, you are not in the 17th Division, otherwise I am afraid that you will be surrounded by the enemy with William." ”

"What? William, he was surrounded by enemies? When is the matter, I want to return to the team immediately! Dennis seemed worried about William.

Matt then explained and comforted: "You don't have to worry, I have already sent reinforcements to reinforce them, and soon we will surround them and annihilate the main force of the enemy army in one fell swoop." This time, thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Bruce, he is a very tactical guy, it is he who reminded me to adopt anti-encirclement tactics, after this victory, I plan to get him back from the staff of your 17th Division, and you will not be in the 17th Division, you two will follow your uncle together, and the future is bright. ”

But Dennis was not so happy and asked, "Are you sure his name is Bruce?" But we don't have a lieutenant colonel staff officer named Bruce in the 17th Division Staff Headquarters? ”

"What do you say? Oh, for God's sake, don't joke with your uncle, okay? Matt said with a nervous expression.

Dennis spread his hands and replied very resolutely: "I'm sorry uncle, I am from the staff of the 17th Division, there is no reason not to recognize it, there is definitely no Bruce!" ”

"Signal Soldier, tell me, where did you meet that Bruce?"

Soon the signal corpsman replied: "Report to the general, I didn't go far when I ran into Bruce asking about the general and your location, and learned that he was the 17th Division coming to ask for help, so I didn't dare to delay and brought him over!" ”

Dennis snorted coldly: "If it was sent by William to ask for help, how could it be that we didn't know where our headquarters were?" ”

Matt couldn't wait to hit his head and die, the more anxious Nima was, the more he made mistakes, and he actually believed the words of an impostor.

"Oh no, that impostor has taken our reinforcements to reinforce the Seventeenth Division!"

Dennis smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the Seventeenth Division has already been finished, and the Chinese Imperial Army deliberately sent a spy to deliver false news, which should be preparing for another ambush." I'm afraid that now our reinforcements are being ambushed, and you must send reinforcements again, otherwise not only the 17th Division will be finished, but also the 21st Division and the 57th Brigade will be finished. ”

"Impossible, the Chinese Imperial Army has only one brigade stationed on Guam, how can it be possible to eat one of our seventeenth divisions and in turn eat one of our divisions and one brigade, and they are not afraid of knocking out their front teeth!"

Matt naturally didn't believe it, but Dennis insisted: "With the intention of calculating and not being prepared, and the Chinese Imperial Shence Army is equipped with a new weapon called the Bloody Heavy Machine Gun, it is absolutely possible!" ”

"No-no-no-it won't-never be-"

"Poof—"

Matt was suddenly angry, and the suffocation and grievances of the past few days finally turned into a mouthful of old blood and spurted out.

Eventually, Matt moved the reserves to reinforcements, hoping for the worst.

At the same time, a bloody massacre is taking place on the heights of Agana.

Bruce is indeed a spy, although he is British, but he became an orphan and a beggar in London as a child, and was finally taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D. to receive higher education and culture in the Chinese Empire, in addition to being a white Western body, he already thinks that he is Chinese through and out in his heart.

This time, he accepted the commission of Xie Guangzhi, the commander of the 7th Marine Brigade of the Chinese Empire, after completely annihilating the 17th Division of the British Army, Bruce changed into the uniform of a British officer, and ran to the British headquarters to deceive Matt, making Matt think that although the 17th Division was surrounded but not annihilated, he lured Matt to send more reinforcements to reinforcements, while Xie Guangzhi led the 7th Marine Brigade to continue to ambush in the Agana Heights, preparing to destroy more British troops.

Bruce succeeded, with a hint of luck, because Matt was dizzy in the past few days, and after hearing the news of the 17th Division's ambush, he was even more confused, so he fell for Bruce.

When the British 21st Division and 57th Brigade entered the Agana Heights, they were immediately ambushed by Xie Guangzhi's 7th Marine Brigade.

On the battlefield, artillery fire was flying, gunpowder smoke was filled, and the gunfire was incessant.

The Chinese Imperial Army had long deployed heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons in various key areas to block the passage for the British army to break through or escape, and the artillery that had been prepared for a long time opened fire fiercely, and the first round of salvo fire completely blinded the British army, causing chaos in the British army. Then the 7th Marine Brigade attacked from all sides and launched a fierce attack on the British troops.

On the high ground, Xie Guangzhi observed the battlefield from the telescope, and his mouth was almost closed.

Yang Ting, the chief of staff next to him, said with a smile: "Congratulations, thank you, this time I have won a big battle, the tactics are beautiful, and the enemy is destroyed more than or even several times, and it will soon be cited as a classic battle and become famous all over the world." ”

Xie Guangzhi laughed and asked rhetorically: "What kind of credit is it that destroyed the enemy more than twice or even several times?" ”

Yang Ting replied: "The number of enemies annihilated is more than several times, which has exceeded the maximum role that this establishment can play, and its own casualties are less than one-third, according to the regulations of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army Meritorious Service, the collective first-class merit and the Golden Eagle Medal should be awarded!" ”

"Haha, collective first-class merit, Golden Eagle Medal, I finally look forward to the stars and the moon, haha!" Xie Guangzhi can't describe his mood at the moment, as a general of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, he can get a third-class merit in peacetime, and he burns high incense, and in the war years, a victory is generally a second-class merit, as for the first-class merit, it is not something that ordinary people can obtain, because the conditions are too harsh, it is difficult to happen on the battlefield that after the strength of a brigade like today killed a whole division and regiment of the British army, after continuous combat, he ambushed a whole division and brigade of the British army, which is difficult to happen under normal circumstances. After all, the British Army is not muddy, it is also a strong army.

Yang Ting couldn't see Xie Guangzhi's arrogance, and reminded: "Don't be too complacent, be careful that the last cooked duck flies!" ”

Xie Guangzhi smiled: "Don't worry, we know it in our hearts!" (To be continued.) )
