Chapter 156: Making dumplings

"What's going on? Why is there gunfire over there? Did the Western Sichuan Army start attacking us? "The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Brigadier General Jones said with a frown. Now, the attack on Volt Mountain is the most critical moment, and it is about to break through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army, if any accident happens, it will be wasted.

"The Western Sichuan Army has begun to attack! The arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys, who did not send a reason to Volt Mountain, threw their limited forces into a frontal attack. Do they think that with their men, they will be able to break through the frontal line of our heavy defense? "Henry? Wellesley said disdainfully. Although, the defensive front was full of Indian soldiers. But many of the officers were British. In addition, there are more than 30,000 of them, even if they can't defeat the western Sichuan army, there should be no problem holding the defensive line.

"Yes, Jones, it's all that counts when you conquer Mount Volt in front of you. The Western Sichuan Army will not be able to break through our frontal defense line for a while and a half. When we take Mount Volt, then we will have an absolute advantage. Order another attack on the front! Be sure to take Volt Mountain! "Andrew the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade? Brigadier General Smith said.

The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade Leo? Brigadier General Jones nodded, but he always had some bad premonitions in his heart. The tenacity of the defenders of Volt Hill far exceeded his expectations. Originally, he thought that under the unexpected blow of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he could easily capture Volt Mountain. However, now it is beyond his imagination. Although, the Gurkha Infantry Brigade easily took the first line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army. But for the second line of defense, there is nothing to do. And now, their casualties are very large.

Still, Leo? Brigadier General Jones also believes that the Western Sichuan Army must have reached the end of its strong crossbow, and as long as it works harder, it will definitely be able to defeat the Western Sichuan Army and seize the entire Volt Mountain position. Even if something goes wrong with the frontal defense, they still have the advantage. With the terrain of Volt Mountain, they can attack and retreat!

However, at this time, a large number of routs rushed towards their positions, and the strips of cloth wrapped around their heads undoubtedly indicated their identity, they were the Indian soldiers defending the front line of the Anglo-Indian army.

"Damn, why are you here? Aren't you defending the frontal line? "Henry? Wellesley was furious, pulled over an Indian Asan, and asked fiercely.

"General, General. The Western Sichuan Army is too powerful, and we have already been defeated. The army has been completely defeated, and now the Western Sichuan Army is rapidly attacking here! The bearded Indian Ah San replied with a look of horror.

"Idiot! Even if it is 30,000 pigs, it is impossible for the Western Sichuan Army to catch them so quickly! "Henry? Wellesley was furious and slapped the Indian Trinity hard. Indian Ah San was knocked to the ground, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only complain about Henry? Wellesley.

"Don't run, give me back to resist the Western Sichuan Army. Otherwise, we're done! "The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Brigadier General Jones shouted loudly. If they are attacked by the Western Sichuan Army, then it is completely impossible for them to take Volt Mountain. If they fail to achieve any goal under heavy losses, then they can be regarded as a defeat in this battle, and there is no chance to turn the tables around.

Only then did the others react, and immediately asked the guard battalion to collect the rout, preparing to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army.

"General, what should we do now? Do you want to give up the attack on Volt Mountain and resist the western Sichuan army first? "2nd Infantry Brigade Commander Allen? Brigadier General Fein asked.

Henry? Wellesley was also completely panicked and didn't know what to do? The original good situation was completely reversed in an instant, and this feeling of falling from heaven to resisting in an instant was unacceptable to him.

"You can't stop attacking. Let these routs plus the guard battalion first resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. I personally rushed to the front line of Mount Volt and intensified the assault on Mount Volt. Only by taking Volt Mountain will we have room to turn around. Otherwise, we're doomed! "The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Brigadier General Jones said.

"Okay, just do as Brigadier General Jones says!" Henry? Wellesley didn't care about anything else now, and hurriedly adopted Leo? Jones's construction seems to have gathered the rout and arranged the defensive line. Meanwhile, Leo? Jones also rushed directly to the foot of Volt Mountain, ready to personally order the troops to launch the strongest attack and take Volt Mountain in one fell swoop. This is their last chance.

"Quick! Fast! Rush forward, crush those Indians, surround the British, and the final victory must be ours! The officers of the 8th Brigade commanded loudly. The weakness of the Indians was completely beyond their expectations, and with a single charge, the Indian army was crushed. You must know that the total number of troops invested by the Western Sichuan Army is only half of the Indian army that is defending! Such a victory made the western Sichuan army very satisfied. After defeating the Indian army, the 8th Brigade immediately began to make a detour, preparing to surround the British ** team. At the same time, the 7th Brigade was divided into several units and began to attack these defeated Indian troops, driving them away completely, lest they affect the main battlefield.

On Volt Hill, the officers and men of the 9th Brigade also discovered that the Western Sichuan Army had broken through the frontal defense line of the British and Indian troops and was making a detour to their side. After half a night of hard fighting, these soldiers were originally very tired, but under the stimulation of this news, they seemed to have taken stimulants, and once again devoted themselves to resisting the attack of the British ** team.

"Haha, brothers, hold on! We must hold on. The reinforcements of the young marshal are coming soon. When the time comes, the British devils below will become our prisoners! "The generals of the Ninth Brigade are constantly cheering for the soldiers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Da Da Da!" The muffled roar of mortars and the incessant roar of heavy machine guns filled the night sky. Around the second line of defense of Volt Mountain, the British ** team and the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army launched a fierce battle. However, even now, the position is still in the hands of the 9th Brigade. Although by this time, the Ninth Brigade had already paid the price of nearly a third of the casualties. But they still held their positions firmly and did not let the British ** team take the position away from them. Now, the western Sichuan army has begun to counterattack, and victory is about to come. They will not give up this low-hanging fruit.

The commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade Leo? Brigadier General Jones rushed almost to the front and demanded that the officers at the front immediately organize the most powerful offensive and take Mount Volt no matter what. Although, when he arrived, the soldiers, whether they were Gurkha soldiers or British soldiers, were already very tired because of the high-intensity fighting. However, he had no choice. If they can't take Mount Volt, then they will face a battle of soldiers. As a proud British official, he would never allow this qiē to happen.

Soon, the British ** team began to attack, and this time the attack was even more violent. However, the Ninth Brigade, which was guarding Mount Volt, also burst out with extremely tenacious combat effectiveness and resisted their attack.

The attack of the 8th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army was very smooth, and it was stopped from the frontal defense line of the British and Indian troops until it detoured back to the forward position set up by the British ** team at the foot of Mount Volt. Henry? Wellesley's guard battalion, which gathered thousands of Indian troops, was here to prepare to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. Brigadier General Jones buys time.

"Fire! Hit me hard! "The officers of the 8th Brigade gave the order to fight. Mortars were erected one by one, and heavy machine guns began to slowly move forward.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One shell after another, falling into the British and Indian troops, taking countless lives. Under the cover of powerful fire from mortars and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the 8th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army launched a fierce attack. As long as the enemy's last line of defense is broken, then the main force of the British and Indian armies can be completely surrounded. At that time, it will be possible to lay the foundation for victory in this war.

"Fight back! Hold on, you must hold on! "Henry? Wellesley was also sweating profusely. Little did he know that this was the most critical moment. He can't afford to lose, and if he loses again, then his end is already doomed.

But, Henry? Wellesley's painstaking organization of the defensive line did not make a difference. Those Indian soldiers had already been frightened, even if they were forcibly retracted by the British soldiers, but in the face of the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, they did not have time to build fortifications, and they collapsed immediately after being bombed by the Western Sichuan Army. They dropped their rifles and ran behind them with all their might. Not only did it make their defense line appear heavily porous, but it also broke up the British team's defense.

The soldiers of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army seized this opportunity and launched a fierce attack. Although the comrades in front were knocked to the ground, the soldiers behind continued to follow suit.

"Grenades!" A platoon leader yelled.

In the next second, more than a dozen grenades flew into the British defense, blowing them up. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Western Sichuan Army quickly broke through the defense line of the British and Indian troops.

As more and more places were breached, the Anglo-Indian forces had to retreat. For the Western Sichuan Army, it also took advantage of the situation to occupy these areas. Finally, the encirclement of the Anglo-Indian army was completed.

Thousands of British ** troops, plus thousands of Indian soldiers, were surrounded by a distance of less than a kilometer at the foot of Mount Volt. Outside, there are soldiers from the 8th and 7th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, and on the mountain, they are from the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army.

After learning that the battle plan was completed, Wang Yuze, who had been waiting all night, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
