After the large army of the Xia Empire arrived at the camp, they only held the river and did not launch an attack on the defense line of Shiraz City for 2 consecutive days, which made the officers and chieftains stationed in the Russian Empire very anxious. Or are you waiting for reinforcements?

The brigade commander and chief of staff of the 9th Brigade were carrying out the plan to encircle the city of Razi at this time, and after the troops who raided the battery set out, the mercenaries sent two brigades to the two places of Kalat and Mafdasat respectively, completely blocking the escape route of the troops in the city, and the brigade commander's order was that if they fled empty-handed, they did not need to pursue, and if they fled with their belongings, the supplies must be intercepted.

If the people in the city had fled through the southwestern gap, they would have passed through Siljan, which had long been occupied by the 35th Mercenary Brigade, and it would have been difficult for the natives to break through the defensive line there.

As time went by, it was already 0:00 a.m. on July 22, and the raiding party began to move, preparing to quietly climb the cliff, and after such a long rest, the physical strength of the officers and men of the unit had fully recovered.

The first to go out were the members of the reconnaissance squad of the escort company, the chief and deputy squad leaders, and other 6 people, as the first batch of climbers, each carrying a bundle of rope and carrying a flashlight began to climb the cliff; The flashlight was covered with a layer of thin paper, which made the light dim a lot, and there was no direct light; In order to strengthen the firepower of the six men in the reconnaissance squad, the Mauser rifles of the four soldiers were replaced with Garand M1 rifles, each carrying 5 magazines and 80 scattered rounds.

The company commander of the escort company patted the shoulder of the reconnaissance squad leader and whispered: "Be careful, pay attention to safety!" “

"Don't worry, company commander, I will." After finishing speaking, the leader of the reconnaissance squad saluted the company commander and took the lead in climbing.

Seeing the figures of the six Praetorian Guard soldiers rising and slowly disappearing into the night, the people below were very nervous, sweating in their hands, and secretly prayed that they would succeed.

After more than 30 minutes, 6 ropes hung down from the cliff one after another, which showed that they had successfully reached the top, and everyone's hanging heart was temporarily relaxed. These mercenary officers and soldiers also had to admire the combat capabilities of the Praetorian Guard.

According to the prior agreement, the 10 rope ladders were pulled to the top of the cliff and fixed, so that the raiders behind could climb with the help of the rope ladders.

The first to climb was the Praetorian Guard Company, and more than 200 people climbed the cliff for more than 1 hour.

It took the rest of the men nearly 3 hours to climb the cliff, happy that there were no casualties, fortunately they were not discovered by the enemy, there was no one on the cliff, they thought it was the safest place, it was not easy to climb during the day, let alone at night.

At this time, the eastern sky has begun to brighten, and it is about to be the time for the general attack.

The troops were divided into 4 parts, and 1 squadron leader led 50 people to guard the cliff, which was everyone's retreat and could not be lost; 1 squadron leader led 50 men to take advantage of the favorable conditions of the narrow mountain road to block the enemy reinforcements from the mountain; The Praetorian Guard Company was responsible for seizing the battery; The deputy wing commander led the remaining personnel to annihilate the sleeping soldiers in the enemy barracks.

The general-purpose machine gun squad was required to set up machine gun positions at the mountain road to stop the enemy.

The mortar platoon had a total of 8 M2-60mm mortars, 1 followed the Praetorian Guard Company, 1 followed the deputy wing commander, and the remaining 6 were left at the cliff to provide artillery support to various battlefields at any time

At 5:30 a.m., the units sneaked to the preset location, and the mortars took the lead in attacking and shelling the enemy barracks.

Six M2-60mm mortars fired nearly 400 shells in just over 3 minutes with an average rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, accounting for half of the number of shells carried this time.

The dense shells covered the narrow and crowded military camp of the enemy, causing heavy casualties to the enemy, many people were killed while still asleep, and many more were wounded; Many people ran out of the dormitory naked, injured by shrapnel or splashes of sand and rubble; Some were buried in bombed-out dormitories; Even the person who escaped from the dormitory intact and did not carry a weapon, was easily shot by the mercenaries who were blocking the entrance of the barracks.

Cries, moans, and cries for help filled the barracks, and in the dense sound of explosions, survivors desperately hid or ran around.

The supreme commander of the battery was also awakened by the sudden explosion, but he was so frightened that he lost his sense of proportion, and did not know what to do, but prayed mechanically, constantly drawing crosses on his chest with his hands, and even forgetting to put on his clothes.

They had no idea how these soldiers of the Xia Empire had broken into the inside of the fort.

After the mortars stopped firing shells, the mercenaries launched their first charge under the command of the deputy wing commander; Equipped with a large number of light machine guns, the intensity of fire was greatly increased, and it was nothing short of a massacre to use against unarmed and even naked indigenous soldiers.

When the mortar attacked, the Praetorian Guard divided into 8 lines and attacked the enemy's 8 permanent fortifications respectively.

Seven of the fortifications were still asleep, and their weapons were defensive forward, and they were killed by the Praetorian Guards who swarmed in front of them before they could shift the muzzles of their heavy machine guns after they could wake up from the dense explosions of mortar guns.

As long as the personnel in 1 fortification do not sleep, their duty is to be responsible for guarding; After hearing a huge explosion in the direction of the barracks, he quickly lay on the ground, fired continuously at the entrance of the fortifications, and quickly transferred the heavy machine guns, set them up at the entrance of the fortifications, and began to shoot wildly at the outside of the fortifications.

The two Praetorian Guard soldiers who were running at the front were hit by heavy machine gun bullets and were killed instantly.

The soldiers who followed immediately lay down to avoid further casualties, but they were overwhelmed by the heavy machine guns and could not return fire.

The company commander, who was in charge of the command in the rear, ordered the mortars to carry out fire support.

The mortars quickly adjusted their bearings, firing several shells in succession, either landing on the top of the fortifications, causing no damage to the permanent fortifications; Either it lands around the exit of the fortification, and it does not deal any damage to enemies inside the fortification.

After completing the task, the Praetorian Guards, who occupied other fortifications, found that there was still an enemy on this side, so they brought two heavy machine guns and set them up in a hidden place, ready to shoot at the enemy and provide fire support for their comrades.

With 2 heavy machine guns distracting the enemy's attention, the mortar quickly adjusted its position, went around to the side of the entrance to the fortification, found a position with a good line of sight, and re-erected the mortar at a dead end for the enemy's heavy machine gun.

This time, the mortarists were ready to risk direct fire, hitting the shells directly into the interior of the fortifications and inflicting wounds on the enemy with scattered shrapnel.

This time the mortar was very lucky, firing 3 shells in a row, 1 shell accurately flew into the enemy's fortifications and exploded, the enemy's heavy machine guns were instantly dumb, the Praetorian Guards who were suppressed on the ground in front took advantage of the situation, quickly rushed to the entrance of the enemy's fortifications, and fired wildly into the fortifications, 2 light machine guns covered each other and changed magazines, and fired 4 magazines in a row before stopping, at this time there was no survivor in the fortifications.

At this point, the assault team completely occupied the enemy's left flank battery.
