Chapter 1182: Bloodstained Road

The sky was just dawning, and a morning glow rose in the east.

After breakfast, the soldiers of the army quickly assembled, and then quickly went to the battlefield, heading straight for the place where the allied forces of various countries were stationed. This time, the leader of the troops was the commander of the first brigade under Qi Zhenhai, and the army of 3,000 people advanced mightily, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

At the local command post, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng waited for news.

The order has been given, and the three can only wait for news.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, news of the opening of fire came from the front.

Soldiers under the command of a brigade commander marched to the front and met resistance from British-led troops. The commander of a brigade was in a makeshift command post on the front line, holding a telescope to observe the exchange of fire. The place where the foreign army was stationed was called Minle Town, and the town was used as a base to build a fire defense with the help of the town's walls.

Since Man Lok Town is located on the road leading to the center of Hong Kong Island, if the commander of the first brigade wants to lead his army south, he must pull out the nail of Man Lok Town. The walls of Minraku Town are 3.5 meters high and 2 meters thick, making it a very small castle outline. But it was such a small town that stopped the attack of the army under the command of a brigade commander.

On the city wall, machine guns were placed one after another, aimed at the attacking Chinese soldiers.

"Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!!! ”

The sound of bullets was incessant, forming a line of death. Under the blockade of dense fire, a pioneer battalion sent by the commander of the 1st brigade could not break through. During this period, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion approached the city gate three times in a row, but were beaten back three times. Even, more than half of the more than 300 soldiers of the pioneer battalion died, and only less than the number of a company was ordered.

"Holy shit, these foreigners are really a hard bone."

Inside the command post, the brigade commander scolded again and again.

The battle was fought from morning to afternoon, and still no progress was made, and it stopped there.

Night, inside the command post.

The brigade commander and the three regiment commanders under his command, four people got together.

The brigade commander had fierce eyes, stared at the regiment commander, and opened his mouth to crack and scold, "Regiment commander, what's going on with the battalion under your command?" After a day of fighting, he didn't even touch a single hair of the foreigner, but his own people died two hundred. Shame, shame. I've led my troops to fight for so many years, and I've never been so guilty. You say, how can I raise my head and be a man in front of the division commander? ”

The head of the regiment looked ashamed, and immediately lifted his spirits, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, brigade commander, tomorrow will conquer Minle Town." ”

"Don't worry!"

The brigade commander snorted angrily and said, "I speak fluently, but I don't see any trend of Minle Town being captured. ”

The second regiment commander interjected: "Brigade commander, the second regiment is willing to go into battle." ”

The commander of the third regiment said: "Brigade commander, the third regiment is willing to serve as the main attack and guarantee to take Minle Town." ”

After hearing this, the first regiment commander stared at the second regiment commander and the third regiment commander viciously.

It's a pity that the second and third regiment commanders don't seem to see it.

The brigade commander thought for a while, stood up, and said loudly: "Early tomorrow morning, the main forces of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments will all go into battle. Minle Town is not large, with only two city gates, the North Gate and the West Gate. The 1st and 2nd regiments attacked the north gate, and the 3rd regiment attacked the west gate. In addition, the artillery fire of the first and second regiments was all concentrated in the first regiment and attacked the north gate of Minle Town with all their might. Tomorrow morning, launch an attack, and if you can't take it, apologize yourselves. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The three of them raised their hands and saluted, their expressions determined.

The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Let's all go down and rest, take care of your spirits, and go all out tomorrow." "The commanders of the three regiments left the command post one after another, leaving the brigade commander alone. When the moon was in the sky, the cold moonlight sprinkled down, dispelling the night. The brigade commander looked at the bright moon with worry in his eyes, but finally turned to a determined color.

Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the three regiments under the brigade commander went into battle.

A large number of soldiers gathered outside Minle Town, and even more so outside the North Gate, which became a concentration point of firepower.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the battle began.

Soldiers from various countries gathered on the towers, and machine-gun fire constituted a powerful firepower.

In the town, in the command post of the coalition forces.

Lieutenant General James had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "The offensive of the Chinese army is unprecedentedly strong, and the difficulties we encounter are getting bigger and bigger. This battle must be held. Once the defense line of Minle Town collapsed, we had to retreat, and even the strategy of outflanking was ineffective. So no matter what, you're doing your best. If necessary, I'll use the few tanks left in the city, even if it's worth it at the risk of being blown up. ”

The generals nodded their heads one after another, with resolute expressions.

For them, time is an opportunity.

Hold on for a while longer, and the better your chances of winning.

Outside the North Gate, the fighting intensified. The first regiment commander and the second regiment commander were all angry. With the help of artillery fire, the two blew up the city gate of the north gate, but the soldiers of the organization charged several times in a row, and they were all beaten back. The first regiment commander stared at the city gate that was not far away, took a deep breath, looked at the second regiment commander, and said: "Old Hou, if I die in battle, remember to collect my body and take care of my family." ”

The second regiment leader is named Hou Jian, and the first regiment leader is like a brother.

Hou Jian said in a low tone: "With my old Hou here, I will never let your family starve and suffer." Even if I die in battle next, I will definitely arrange a family for you. ”

The commander of the regiment nodded, held the pistol, and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, and the soldiers of the regiment will rush with me!" ”

"Toot! Honk! Honk!!! ”

The trumpet sounded, and a regimental commander rushed forward with his soldiers.

When Hou Jian, the commander of the second regiment, saw this scene, he suddenly stood upright and gave a military salute to the commander of the first regiment who charged.

How spectacular it was for the soldiers of a regiment to launch a fierce charge. The commander of the first regiment was even more in the lead, and he led the soldiers to brave the rain of bullets, crawling forward for a while, and rushing forward violently for a while. Although countless soldiers were killed and wounded, there were those who approached the city gate without danger. This charge is a blood-stained road, paved with the bodies and blood of countless soldiers.

Ten meters!

The head of the regiment looked at the distance from the city gate, and it was still ten meters away from the city gate.

"Ahh

A scream rang out in the ears of a regiment leader.

"Commander, I can't accompany you anymore, I must kill it......"

The commander of the first regiment looked back, and it was the voice of Zhang Sanhe, the commander of the second battalion under his command. He was shot twice in the chest, and blood gushed out, so glaring. Zhang Sanhe's face was unwilling, and he also had the helplessness of failing to win Minle Town, as well as the expectation that the head of the regiment would capture Minle Town. But the next moment, this scene was shattered, and Zhang Sanhe, the commander of the second battalion, fell to the ground.

The head of the regiment resisted the urge to shed tears and shouted: "Rush, rush with me!" ”

Braving a hail of bullets, the soldiers continued to rush forward. The sound of gunfire and artillery echoed in the ears of the charging soldiers, and they rushed forward as if they didn't hear it. Along the way, countless soldiers fell, and the corpses flowed with blood, and the blood-red bodies stained a road. The head of the regiment was like a knife, but he endured the pain and continued to push forward, approaching the city gate.

It is less than three meters away from the city gate, and it is already close at hand!

Just as the commander of the regiment and the soldiers under his command were in high spirits, a strange sound came from inside the city.
