(Thank you for the commuter pass 02520406652 by the book friend!) ）

"What about shelling? How did the shelling stop? "Andrew the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade? Brigadier General Smith hurriedly asked when the artillery had actually withdrawn. His army was ready to attack, but the artillery was not able to destroy the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army, and now it has withdrawn from the battle, what is this doing?

Henry? Wellesley was also very puzzled, the artillery of the British and Indian Army and the Western Sichuan Army had a fierce artillery battle, and the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army was dumbfounded, which made him very excited. But in the blink of an eye, the artillery on his side had to withdraw from the battle.

"General, the artillery in western Sichuan is too cunning, they are constantly changing directions, we can't attack them at all, but we have suffered heavy losses. Now, there are only a few dozen cannons left, and if I continue to fight, I'm afraid that all the cannons will be damaged! The artillery commander said with some concern. He has tried his best, but in the end, he is very helpless with this result.

"Hell! How did you become an artillery commander? Our artillery is more than twice as large as that of the Western Sichuan Army, but it has become what it is now. When this battle is over, I will definitely send you to court-martial!" "Henry? Wellesley was furious. Without artillery, it would not be so easy to defeat Volt Mountain, which was heavily defended by the Western Sichuan Army!

"General! So do we have to go on the offensive again? Without artillery support, I wouldn't have let my men die! "Andrew the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade? Brigadier General Smith also said. Without the cover of artillery, attacking Volt Hill is simply looking for death, so he won't do it!

"Order your artillerymen to return to the battlefield immediately and launch an attack on the Western Sichuan Army. In any case, cover for the infantry had to be provided. If you dare to disobey, I have the right to shoot you! "Henry? Wellesley said fiercely. This was his only chance, and if the attack failed, he would be finished. He would never allow that to happen.

"General!" The artillery commander hesitated. To put his artillery on the battlefield now is simply suicide.

"Since the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army can be dispersed, you can also disperse your artillery. A few cannons form a position and provide cover for the infantry! "The commander of the Langkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Jones said.

"Ahh That's a good idea! The artillery commander said with great joy. He immediately went down to make arrangements. The remaining dozens of artillery pieces of the British and Indian troops were divided into ten positions, one of which was responsible for increasing cover for the infantry, and the other was responsible for suppressing the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army.

The fierce artillery battle unfolded again, but this time it was not so easy for the Western Sichuan Army to suppress the British and Indian troops. At the same time, the British and Indian troops relied on the large number of artillery, and when they separated some artillery to engage in artillery battles with the Western Sichuan Army, the other part carried out a fierce bombardment of the positions of the Ninth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, the infantry of the Anglo-Indian army, which had already been prepared, also began to charge.

More than 3,000 British soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Brigade plus more than 5,000 Indian soldiers launched an attack on the positions of the Western Sichuan Army. Under the cover of artillery, they quickly launched an attack on the positions of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Order the forward positions, prepare for defense!" The commander of the Ninth Brigade, Du Qizheng, ordered. Although the shelling of the British and Indian troops had not stopped, from time to time shells fell on the defensive line of the Western Sichuan Army. However, due to the very large losses of the artillery of the British and Indian armies in the artillery battle with the western Sichuan army, more than half of the remaining dozens of artillery pieces were engaged in artillery battles with the western Sichuan army, and the artillery used to attack the defensive line of the western Sichuan army was much less. Therefore, there were no casualties inflicted on the Western Sichuan Army. Even though the artillery bombardment of the British and Indian troops continued, the infantry of the British and Indian troops had begun to attack, and the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army still came out of the anti-artillery holes under the orders of the officers, skillfully manipulating the weapons in their hands, and preparing to resist the attack of the British and Indian troops.

"Fire!" After the Anglo-Indian Army entered the firing range of the Western Sichuan Army, the commander of the forward position of the Western Sichuan Army, deputy brigade commander Zhang Ruifeng, immediately gave an order.

"Da Da Da! Bang bang bang! Boom! "All the heavy machine guns, mortars and rifles in the hands of the soldiers deployed by the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army on the two lines of defense opened fire. The British soldiers in gray uniforms and the Indian soldiers in brown uniforms with strips of cloth wrapped around their heads fell to the ground in an instant under the heavy fire of the Western Sichuan Army. However, the comrades in front fell, and the people behind continued to advance in the rain of bullets and bullets of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Rush, go faster!" The officers of the British and Indian armies shouted loudly. The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is very fierce, and if you stay longer, it will only bring a greater threat to yourself. Now there is only one rush forward, even if you can't rush to the position of the Western Sichuan Army, it would be good to shoot at the Western Sichuan Army!

"Set up the heavy machine gun for me, fire! Fire! The Anglo-Indian officer ordered loudly. Although, the heavy machine gun is very heavy, which is especially inconvenient during the charge. However, after seeing the suppressive use of heavy machine guns in the offensive of the Western Sichuan Army, the British Army quickly learned this trick. However, their heavy machine guns naturally became the key targets of the firepower of the western Sichuan army.

"Woohoo!" A series of bullets hit the trenches of the Western Sichuan Army, and many soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army hurriedly buried their heads, and those who moved a little slower had already been shot and died. Many soldiers of the British and Indian troops had already rushed to the wire in front of the position of the Western Sichuan Army. Some of them lay on the ground and fired at the Western Sichuan Army, while the other part tried to destroy the wire of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Fire! Hit me hard! "All the weapons of the Western Sichuan Army opened fire at the maximum rate of fire. A large number of Anglo-Indian soldiers were knocked to the ground, and the corpses were piled up in a thick layer. Blood flowed from their bodies, soaking the earth beneath Mount Volt.

"Mortars, knock out the enemy's heavy machine guns for me!" Many of the soldiers who came to their side were killed and wounded under the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops, and the commanders of the front line of the Western Sichuan Army were furious.

The mortars of the Western Sichuan Army turned their muzzles and focused on the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One by one, shells flew out and smashed into the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops, destroying all these powerful weapons.

The fighting continued, and as time went on, casualties on both sides grew. But in general, the casualties of the Western Sichuan Army, which was protected by strong fortifications, were much smaller than those of the attacking British and Indian troops.

"Damn it, rush up! Rush into the trenches of those yellow-skinned monkeys! "With his own soldiers falling under the guns of the Western Sichuan Army one by one, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade Andrew? Brigadier General Smith yelled angrily.

However, he was of no use other than venting his frustrations. The attacks of the British and Indian troops still did not have the slightest effect. They were suppressed to the death near the wire set up by the Western Sichuan Army, and then slaughtered by the Western Sichuan Army's concentrated superior firepower. The soldiers died one by one, but the defense line of the western Sichuan army was impregnable.

Henry? Wellesley's face was also a little bad, originally, he thought that this attack would bring a surprise. However, apart from a whole bunch of corpses, nothing was gained.

"Send another 3,000 Indian soldiers." Henry? Wellesley ordered. There were already few soldiers in the British Army, and the current losses were already very distressing to him. As for the Indian soldiers, it will not affect at all. Anyway, it's all used for artillery fire, even if he dies more, he won't feel distressed.

"Yes, General!" Henry? Wellesley's adjutant Felix immediately went to make arrangements.

A few minutes later, more than 3,000 Indian soldiers attacked. However, the speed of their attacks was not as fierce as that of their companions before. to their companions in front of the bleeding, which frightened them. If it weren't for the law enforcement team formed by the British behind them, they would have turned around and fled.

At the appearance of these Indian soldiers, the British generals shook their heads speechlessly. Sure enough, as soon as these Indian soldiers began to attack, they were heavily shelled by the Western Sichuan Army. A large number of shells exploded around them, blowing them up.

An hour after the attack began, the Anglo-Indian army had already paid a heavy casualties. Can't take it for a long time, Henry? Wellesley had to give the order to retreat. If the fight continues, the attacking British and Indian troops will be dead.

In this battle, the British and Indian troops invested more than 10,000 people, but only half of them returned, and the remaining half had fallen on this land forever. The British ** team of the 2nd Infantry Brigade attacked with more than 3,000 people, but only more than 1,000 people withdrew. Although they were very brave in the battle, they were unable to break through the positions of the Western Sichuan Army.

"General, you have also arrived, the defense of the Western Sichuan Army is very strong, we have done our best, but it is difficult to break through their defense!" Commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade Andrew ? Brigadier General Smith said.

Henry? Wellesley nodded, the defense of the Western Sichuan Army was far more powerful than he imagined. First the artillery failed, and now the offensive of the army has also failed. If this continues, it will be impossible for them to break through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Leo? Brigadier General Jones, why don't your men try it? "Henry? Wellesley said. Now that the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade have returned in vain, he can only put his hope on the Langrka Infantry Brigade. Hopefully, the trump card in this ace team can bring him a breakthrough.

The commander of the Langkha Infantry Brigade, Leo? Jones nodded, then said, "I'll send an army to attack." Not now, though. It's tonight! I'll teach those yellow-skinned monkeys a lesson they'll never forget! ”
