"Haha, I have attacked and occupied the first line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army. I knew that the Gurkha Infantry Brigade would definitely succeed, and the final victory would be ours! "Henry? Wellesley laughed. The attack of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade was so smooth that his depression these days was swept away. He seems to have reached the point where victory is at hand. He finally didn't have to lose his future for this defeat in the war.

"General, it's too early to say victory. The Western Sichuan Army had already reacted, and they retreated to the second line of defense to hold on. Now, all of my men are pinned down in the first line of defense. The second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army is condescending and is slaughtering my soldiers with great firepower. My soldiers need support! "The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Jones said sternly. The sudden attack of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade caught the Western Sichuan Army by surprise and achieved very good results. However, the Western Sichuan Army decisively abandoned the first line of defense, withdrew all its forces to the second line of defense, and held on to this last line of defense, which immediately frustrated the attack of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade.

"Okay, General Jones, what support do you need? I will do my best to satisfy you! "Henry? Wellesley said without hesitation. Now that the hope of victory is all on the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he, of course, will not refuse Leo? Jones asked.

"I want artillery support, and more. More elite troops! "The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Jones said sternly. His meaning is very obvious, if you want to take the Volt Mountain position of the Western Sichuan Army, then the British and Indian troops will have to fight hard. Otherwise, there is a good chance that it will fall short.

"Good! I immediately ordered the artillery to open fire. As for the reinforcements, the remaining forces of the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade immediately began to attack. In any case, we must take Mount Volt and lay the foundation for victory this time! "Henry? Without the slightest hesitation, Wellesley said immediately.

2nd Infantry Brigade Commander Allen? Brigadier General Finn and the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, Andrew? Brigadier Smith hesitated a little, but opened his mouth, still did not refute Henry? Wellesley's order. They handed over all the remaining seven or eight thousand men of these two brigades to Leo? Jones's hand. Artillery in Henry? Wellesley's orders were also opened. Shells smashed into the second line of defense of the 9th Brigade, supporting the attack of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade.

The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade Leo? After Jones got the reinforcements, he didn't have any reservations and threw himself into the attack. He knew that he only had one chance now. If the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army could not be captured in one go, then all the previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, his soldiers will also suffer heavy losses under the strong firepower of the Sichuan Army. It can even be said that if this attack does not work, then they have no hope of winning this war.

"Artillery fire, fire! Suppress the artillery of the British! Du Qizheng, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, gave the order with red eyes. When more and more British troops were brought into battle, the pressure on the 9th Brigade increased. Fortunately, the second line of defense of the 9th Brigade was located on the mountain, which was condescending, and the firepower advantage of the Western Sichuan Army could be brought into full play without reservation, which dealt a very big blow to the British ** team. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the 9th Brigade to hold the second line of defense.

"Brigade commander, the British are also desperate! You, all who were pinned down below were the men of their Gurkha Infantry Brigade. This is the trump card of the ace in the British ** team, and we were attacked by them, and we lost unjustly. In addition, all the follow-up arrivals were British, and there was no Indian Ahsan, who came to the British to complete the battle. Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the Ninth Brigade, said with a stern face.

"I know, but even if the British are strong, we have to hold the line. I assured the young marshal that the men were in position, and even if the Ninth Brigade was all gone, they would hold their position. Chief of Staff, order the guard battalion, the baggage battalion, the reconnaissance battalion, the engineer battalion, all ready for battle, and as soon as the line of defense is tightened, they will support the front! Du Qizheng ordered with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Brigadier General. Not only them, but all our staff officers were ready. Even if the whole brigade fights to the last man, we will hold our ground! Chief of Staff Qian Tailin also replied.

In the rear of the Western Sichuan Army, Wang Yuze's headquarters, he was woken up as soon as the cannon fire in the direction of Volt Mountain rang out. Immediately after putting on one piece, he walked out of the room.

"Wang Wei, what's going on?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Young marshal, there is an attack in the direction of Mount Volt. Now we are urgently contacting the direction of Mount Volt to inquire about the state of the battle! Wang Wei said. The signal corps is making contact in the direction of Volt Mountain, but has not yet received a response.

Soon, the generals of the 7th and 8th Brigades also arrived.

"Young Marshal, the direction of Mount Volt has been attacked by the Anglo-Indian army? Our brigade is ready for battle and can immediately send reinforcements in the direction of Mount Volt! As soon as Su Hongguang, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, arrived, Wang Yuze, he immediately asked for battle.

"Don't worry, I haven't been able to contact the Ninth Brigade yet, and I don't know the specific situation yet." Wang Yuze shook his head.

"Report the young marshal. The Ninth Brigade called. The 9th Brigade was attacked by the Gurkha Infantry Brigade of the Anglo-Indian Army, and now, the first line of defense has been lost, and the entire 9th Brigade has retreated to the second line of defense. However, it has now withstood the offensive of the British and Indian troops. In addition, in addition to the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, the British and Indian forces also used two other brigades of British ** troops, so that the British ** team attacking Volt Mountain reached more than 10,000 people. However, now the second line of defense is still under the control of the 9th Brigade, and it is very solid! Said the signal soldier.

"Ask the Ninth Brigade if they need support!" Wang Yuze said.

"Did the British fight hard? There are so many heavy troops invested in the direction of Volt Mountain, and all of them are elite! There is not a single Indian Ah San! Xie Dingkun, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, said in surprise. If his 7th Brigade had been attacked by the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he could not have promised that it would have done better than the 9th Brigade.

"Young marshal, let's organize reinforcements immediately! The Volt Hill position is particularly important, and if it is lost, it will be very disadvantageous to us! Tang Anping, the deputy commander of the Seventh Brigade, said.

Wang Yuze shook his head, he knew that this time the British were going to work hard, wanting to establish an advantage over the western Sichuan army in one fell swoop. Originally, he just wanted to hold the border and wait for the negotiations between the western Sichuan side and the British. However, the British are not going to suffer a loss. In other words, they wanted to wait until they had the upper hand before negotiating with Kawanishi. In this case, then the Western Sichuan Army will only have to hurt the British again, so that they have to return to the negotiating table. Therefore, since the British are ready to fight, what is there for him not to fight? However, it is now necessary to determine the situation on the side of the Ninth Brigade. If the 9th Brigade could withstand the British attack, then his plan could be implemented. If the Ninth Brigade could not withstand the British attack, then he would have to send reinforcements first to stabilize the front of the Ninth Brigade. After all, the Volt Hill position belongs to an important fulcrum of the defense line of the western Sichuan army, and there is no room for failure.

Soon, the signal corps received a call back from the 9th Brigade. "Report to the young marshal, the Ninth Brigade called back that they are confident that they will be able to hold the line and guarantee that they will be able to withstand the attack of the British army!" The signal corps reported.

"Okay, I got it. Go down and get in touch with the Ninth Brigade! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, young marshal!" The signal corps saluted and immediately withdrew.

"Young marshal, Lao Du, a dead duck with a hard mouth. The current situation of the Ninth Brigade is certainly not optimistic, and if we do not send reinforcements, the Ninth Brigade may be difficult to support! Su Hongguang, commander of the Eighth Brigade, said. The Eighth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade were stationed on the plateau, and he also knew Du Qizheng's temper quite well.

"Not busy. Listen to my thoughts first. This time, the British were trying to fight hard. They threw in a large number of troops in order to take Mount Volt and create an advantage over us in one fell swoop. All, this time they threw the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, as well as two infantry brigades of the British, into battle. Now, the situation on Mount Volt is critical, and for us, it is a crisis. But again, it's also an opportunity. Since the British threw all their main forces in the direction of Mount Volt. Then, on our front, only those indigenous Indian armies remain. Although there are more than 30,000 of them, I believe you also know the specific combat effectiveness. If we concentrate the entire army of the 7th and 8th Brigades and attack head-on, will it be possible for us to crush the indigenous Indian army in front of us in one fell swoop? After that, the army attacked to the left and surrounded all the British ** teams attacking Volt Mountain at the foot of Volt Mountain. Annihilation in one fell swoop! In this way, the battle can be completely over. As long as we wipe out these British troops, the British will no longer be able to send troops to attack us in a short time. At that time, I am afraid that it will be the diplomatic department of the Western Sichuan Army and the British who will play tricks. However, we have won the battlefield, and no matter what happens, we will not lose in diplomatic negotiations! Wang Yuze said.

Everyone's eyes lit up, they didn't expect Wang Yuze to have such a plan, and then the opportunity of the main force of the British army to attack Volt Hill crushed the British and Indian troops in one fell swoop, and then surrounded the British army attacking Volt Mountain. If it can be won, then there is indeed no suspense in this battle. But, as Wang Yuze said, this is also a bit risky. Obviously, it is the same desperate style of play as the British army.
