"Shelling!" With a terrible shout, the officers and men of the Daming Marine Corps guarding the nameless high ground quickly rushed to their anti-artillery shelters to prepare for the upcoming large-scale artillery bombardment. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and this time the shelling has increased in scale and intensity compared to the previous ones.

In the world, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely second to none. Over the years, the emphasis on and construction of artillery forces has directly created a powerful artillery unit. Outside of the Ming Army, the most powerful artillery unit was the Germans.

Since the Ming Dynasty created a strong opponent for the French in order to weaken the influence of the French in Europe. Chose to support Prussia in the War of Unification and established the German Empire. The German Army, which has always studied the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, attaches great importance to the construction of artillery units and has invested a lot of money. Their strength is certainly not comparable to the powerful Ming Army, but in terms of training and combat will and tactics, the German artillery is no worse than the Ming artillery.

Rommel, reinforced by an entire heavy artillery regiment, concentrated all his artillery before the offensive was launched, and launched a heavy artillery attack on the entire defensive line. And the most important thing is naturally the unnamed heights that Rommel has always regarded as the main breakthrough. Break through here, and behind you is the port of Tobruk!

At least 30 German 150mm heavy howitzers and many more 105mm guns, and even a large number of 75mm infantry guns were tilted thousands of rounds towards the unnamed heights. This small position was completely shrouded in gunsmoke and war. The pungent smell of gunpowder and the thick smoke of the defenders caused many soldiers to vomit and faint.

The Germans were heavily bombarded, but their opponents were one of the best artillery in the world. Moreover, the artillery strength of the defenders was unusually strong.

Not long after the rapid fire coverage of the Germans began, a sharp counterattack by the Ming artillery arrived. Even at night, these two well-trained troops are real chess opponents.

The artillery of both sides began to carry out artillery suppression and counter-suppression across the battlefield, and then it was the turn of the ground attack.

A large number of minefields preset by the defenders had been almost destroyed in the previous battles. At this time, it doesn't play a big role. Barbed wire and blocking ditches have similarly lost their effect. What followed should be a brutal bloody battle in the true sense of the word.

The artillery previously placed on the positions by the defenders had been largely depleted in the ongoing fighting. However, the Ming army is the richest army in the world, and their supplies are enough to make any opponent despair. At this time, about thirty or so anti-tank guns were still maintained on the position. However, there were only three powerful 88-mm anti-aircraft guns left at the moment.

When the shocking huge armored platoon of the German 21st Panzer Division drove towards the nameless heights with a loud rumbling sound, Colonel Lu Yang, who was guarding the position, immediately called the rear command: "The enemy's powerful armored forces are attacking our position, I need reinforcements, I need reinforcements!" ”

"There are no reinforcements for you right now." Yi Yanxue, the commander of the defending army, held the microphone and said in a calm voice, "Hold on and repel the enemy's attack." With that, he hung up.

The continuous offensive of the German Afrika Korps in the past few days has also caused heavy losses to the defenders. And tonight the entire line of defense is engaged in fierce fighting, and three German infantry divisions have also launched a large-scale offensive in full force. In Yi Yanxue's hands, only the last reserve remained, the heavy tank battalion seconded from the 2nd Armored Division. The German offensive had just begun, and it was impossible for Yi Yanxue to release the reserves at this time. After all, he was the commander of an infantry division and was not proficient in armored tactics.

Lu Yang slammed the microphone in his hand on the table, took a deep breath, and turned to look at his chief of staff, "I'm on the front line, and you're staring here." With that, he turned around and walked out of the temporary headquarters.

The establishment of the Marine Corps is very large, with more than 3,500 troops at the individual regimental level. But in this small position, Lu Yang's regiment has been reduced by nearly half! At this time, he had no troops in his hands. The reserves had already been thrown into the front-line battlefield.

Lu Yang, who walked out of the headquarters, stopped before getting into his jeep and looked at his headquarters where people came and went. After a moment of silence, he ordered in a deep voice, "All logistics personnel, including the cooking platoon, the communications corps, and the clerical staff officers. Everyone who could carry a gun, except for the telegraph and medics, all took their weapons and followed me to the front! ”

When Lu Yang personally brought more than 100 logistics personnel to the front-line position for reinforcements, the battle on the Nameless Heights had already entered the most intense stage.

'Squeak~Squeak~~' The eerie sound of the metal tracks crushing the ground made the hearts of the defenders huddled in the trenches tremble. It is basically impossible to hold the line of defense by simply resisting an armored assault with infantry units. Especially after most of the anti-tank weapons of the defenders were destroyed.

'Bang! After a dull sound of gunfire, the Marines, manning a 20-mm anti-tank gun, hurriedly gathered their weapons and reloaded them with the help of the secondary shooter.

The defenders knew very well that their anti-tank guns could not deal with the German tanks, and they had to target the armored vehicles. It's just that in such a fierce battlefield, even in a night battle, after the target is exposed, this anti-tank fire point hidden in the trenches is quickly targeted. A No. 4 tank stopped more than 100 meters away and turned its gun to destroy the point of fire.

At this moment, the sky above the nameless highland battlefield was full of countless shells, bullets and flares, and the entire battlefield was reflected brightly, as if it were day. The sound of gunfire, fighting, the roar of machinery, and the dying howls of the wounded mingled to create a battlefield symphony on an unprecedented scale. Life is passing fast, and the battlefield is full of last elegy.

"Sir, we can't hold it!" A bloodstained lieutenant ran to Lu Yang's side and shouted with all his might, "Retreat!" Leave some seeds for our group! ”

The lieutenant is the temporary battalion commander at the moment. His battalion originally had a full thousand men, but at this moment, the lieutenant who was originally only a company deputy has become the acting battalion commander, which is enough to verify the tragedy of the battlefield.

"Want to go?" Lu Yang put down the telescope in his hand with a cold face, and his resolute face was cold under the reflection of the constantly exploding fire, "See?" Lu Yang turned his head and nodded behind him, and more than ten meters behind him, there were seven or eight soldiers with Suomi in their hands standing there, "Whoever dares to cross them will be shot on the spot, and I will do the same." Why don't you try it? ”

The young lieutenant looked miserable, lowered his head, and sobbed in his voice, "Sir, there are only a hundred or so left in our battalion that can still breathe." Can you give me some more support? There are no anti-tank guns, so it would be nice to have more explosives. ”

"Take your pick." Lu Yang raised his hand and put down his hat, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Who do you fancy and take it away." In addition to the Warlords, I can also choose. ”

Lu Yang was surrounded by only a communications soldier with a radio on his back, and a guard and driver. In addition, even the chefs of the cooking platoon have already gone to the front line with guns, and he has no soldiers. The young lieutenant gasped heavily, suddenly straightened up, saluted, and turned to run towards his position. What else is there to say about the war at this point? Only death.

'Click~~~' A young Ming soldier with a childish face stubbornly grabbed the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand and beat several German soldiers who jumped into the trench to the ground. The 'click' bullets are gone. At this time, several more German soldiers jumped into the trenches with guns in their hands.

Only the last young soldier was left in the trench at the moment. His comrades had all died, and the nearest reinforcement was a hundred meters away, and he had no hope of survival.

The young soldier, who didn't have time to change the magazine, raised the Suomi in his hand and smashed it at the German soldier, suddenly picked up the sapper shovel on the side, and threw it on the head of the nearest German soldier.

"Boom!" The German soldiers, whose steel helmets had been torn apart, immediately fell to the ground. The young Ming soldiers slashed left and right like mad tigers, knocking down four German soldiers in a row. Then, the sharp sapper shovel in his hand stuck in the neck of a German soldier. The young soldier threw down his shovel, took off his steel helmet and smashed a German soldier next to him. Then a sharp bayonet burst out from front of him, and the Germans who jumped into the trench from behind him finally succeeded in killing the brave defender.

After the bayonet was removed, a deep look of nostalgia appeared in the depths of the young soldier's eyes. Exhaled lightly and fell to his position. Behind him, a large number of German soldiers were surging in.

All the anti-tank guns on the defenders' positions have been destroyed. The German armored units, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally broke through their positions, and tanks and armored vehicles continued to spew tongues of fire and swept the defenders' positions. The tide of German soldiers, under the cover of the armored forces, began to expand their gains. Nameless Heights is about to be lost.

"Sir, I'm Lu Yang." Under the reflection of the raging war like day, his face was expressionless, but his body was holding the walkie-talkie in the hand of Lu Yang, who was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of endless despair and anger, "I ask the commander to order the coastal defense artillery unit to cover our position with firepower." My position is about to be lost. ”

More than 3,000 marines garrisoned a position, and after several days of fierce fighting, they could no longer hold on. In addition to the wounded who were evacuated to the hospital, the entire regiment was filled in. Seeing that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, the position was about to be broken through again. The red-eyed Lu Yang wants to live and die with the position!

The heavy artillery of the Tobruk Coastal Defense Fortress is equipped with large-caliber coastal defense heavy artillery, which is intended to deal with warships. Because they had not thought that they would be besieged, most of the shore defense artillery were equipped with armor-piercing shells against the heavy armor of warships. The small reserve of high-explosive shells has not dared to be used, and is intended to be used only when the battle is at its most intense. In Lu Yang's eyes, it is already the most critical juncture.

"Hold on, I'm here with reinforcements." (To be continued.) )
