Chapter 286: Desperate Situation
In less than a few seconds, the hesitation on the face of the division commander was replaced by firmness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Facing the chief of staff beside him, he ordered with a murderous face: "Start breaking through ......"
"Concentrate all your firepower and suppress the Liaodong Army. Officers at all levels, taking the lead in the charge, must open a gap in the shortest possible time......"
"Hey......" the chief of staff said with a serious face.
Soon, more than forty heavy machine guns were fired in a dense line on the battlefield.
More than 40 tongues of fire, after forming an impermeable firepower network on the battlefield, quickly enveloped the position of the Liaodong Army.
Under the cover of such powerful firepower, more than 300 devils, like more than 300 fierce tigers, rushed out of the position with a roar.
In the position of the Liaodong Army, more than 300 soldiers in a battalion, even if they had been prepared, were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the devils.
Because, the devil's breakthrough firepower is too fierce.
Under the cover of dozens of heavy machine guns, the Liaodong Army, which was only equipped with a heavy machine gun company, did not even have a chance to counterattack.
As a result, the defenders of a battalion could only be pressed into the trench by the heavy machine gun fire of the devils, unable to move.
Of course, the devil will not let go of such a good opportunity.
More than 300 people soon rushed to a position less than 50 meters away from the position of the Liaodong Army.
And at this critical moment, the defenders defending the two flanks of the devil's breakthrough finally came to reinforcements.
Along with the reinforcements, there were two heavy machine guns and more than twenty heavy machine guns.
As reinforcements joined the battle, the momentum of the devil's offensive was finally suppressed, and there was no way to push it forward.
The commander of the Devil Division knew very well that the breakthrough in front of him would be the best opportunity for him to get out of here, and if he missed it, there would be no more.
Therefore, as soon as the battlefield situation entered the field of vision of the division commander, the division commander decisively ordered.
"Put the last heavy machine gun squadron on the line, and then draw two more squadrons to join the attacking force......"
"Tell the breakout troops not to be afraid of casualties. Only by breaking through can we live. Otherwise. We're all going to die here......"
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield advantage changed again.
The heavy machine-gun fire of the defenders of the Liaodong Army was again suppressed.
The devil breakthrough troops, who were blocked dozens of meters away, also began to advance step by step regardless of casualties.
Seeing that the devil was getting closer and closer to him, he and his subordinates were crushed in the trench by the devil's heavy machine gun. Immobile.
The regiment commander could only order ruthlessly: "Brothers, there are only more than 400 devils, and we will stop them even if we die......"
"All bayonets, ready to fight the devil desperately......"
Forty meters, thirty meters. Twenty meters ......
Facing the hideous face of the devil, the regiment commander, who was holding the pistol tightly, was just about to give the order to rush out of the trench and fight the bayonet with the devil.
The screech of cannonballs across the sky suddenly sounded overhead.
Then the regiment commander saw the devil's position a few hundred meters away, and quickly raised more than a dozen fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke.
It was not until the fireball rose that the sound of violent shell explosions reached the ears of the regiment commander.
The head of the regiment was stunned and exclaimed with surprise on his face.
"Brothers, we are saved. Artillery, artillery supported us......"
"Heavy machine guns, all heavy machine guns all fired. Immediately counterattack and repel the devil's attack. ā
"Others, counterattack on the spot and eliminate the devil soldiers in front of the formation......"
Nearly a thousand Liaodong troops were under the order of the regiment commander when they used their fastest speed to shoot bullets at the devils.
The devil was also startled by the sudden explosion behind him.
When they reacted from the shock and were ready to move forward on the attack.
Impenetrable bullets had swept towards them.
Soon, more than half of the more than 400 devils were killed and injured.
As for the rest of the devil soldiers, they were suppressed by dozens of heavy machine guns, lying on the ground, unable to move.
"It's over. I can't break through the siege......" The sudden change on the battlefield directly made the head of the devil division turn pale with a face, and said to himself.
Then, without waiting for the chief of staff to speak. The division commander decisively ordered: "Break through the troops, retreat immediately......"
"The other two covering troops also retreated immediately, and all of them retreated to the anti-artillery holes to guard against the retaliatory artillery attack of the Liaodong Army."
There were more than 900 people in the five infantry squadrons of the devils who directly participated in the breakthrough, and in the end, there were less than 200 people in one squadron.
As for more than a hundred heavy machine guns. Only the last 65 were successfully transferred from the shelling.
A breakthrough battle that the devil quietly planned not only did not win, but suffered heavy losses.
After listening to the chief of staff's report on the losses of the troops, the commander of the devil division was directly silent.
At this moment, there was no trace of confidence and hope on the face of the division commander.
The whole person was happy with a decadent bad old man, and his whole body was shrouded in despair.
The chief of staff wanted to open his mouth to persuade the division commander, but when the words came to his lips, he himself could not speak.
Because, this defeat is also a dash of hope for him.
In the opinion of the Chief of Staff, at this moment, unless there were reinforcements, there was no way for anyone to save them from despair.
Therefore, as soon as he thought of this, the chief of staff's face slowly turned pale, desperate, and helpless......
How is it possible for a person who is himself full of despair and helplessness to help someone who is equally desperate and helpless?
The small underground headquarters in front of him slowly fell into silence, and the atmosphere of the headquarters became more and more depressing as time passed.
Five minutes...... Ten minutes...... Half an hour...... An hour......
Until dawn, the division commander and the chief of staff both maintained the same posture, looking desperate, without saying a word......
Just then, the guard walked in and brought breakfast to the two men.
Facing the rice porridge in front of him, which was obviously much thinner than yesterday, the division commander finally spoke.
Asked the chief of staff, "How long can the rest of the food last......
After thinking about it, the chief of staff replied: "We still have 1,000 people left, and there were originally 2,000 people left for two days, but now we can save food, and we should be able to last for four days......"
"Then wait! If you can hold on for one more day, you can do it for one more day. In a short period of time, I can't think of any way to break the enemy. In addition, we can't get out, and we can't even do the most basic request for help, so we can only wait, and a day of delay is a day......" The division commander with a decadent face directly ordered in his voice full of helplessness.
Soon, four days passed.
Faced with porridge with almost no rice grains in the bowl, all the devils knew that their troops were out of food.
At the beginning, there were only a few devils shouting that it was better to fight with the Liaodong Army than starve to death.
As his stomach became more and more hungry, and when he saw that he was about to run out of strength, most of the devil soldiers and officers began to shout for a counterattack, launching a desperate charge against the Liaodong Army, and they would die on the offensive road. (To be continued.) )
