Chapter Sixty-Eight: All or Nothing (Ask for Collection)

In the battlefield, after the smoke cleared, the corpses all over the ground, some seriously injured soldiers of the Green Horse Army, let out a wail, and the ownerless war horses were also wandering around, letting out one after another mournful screams. The Qingma Army paid 3,000 casualties, but it did not break into the position of the Western Sichuan Army at all.

The soldiers of the Green Horse Army who watched the battle were also shocked by this scene, and their companions rushed to the enemy's position without forgetting their lives, but they were knocked to the ground by the enemy's fierce fire, and their hearts were very uncomfortable. At the same time, there was also a kind of fear that hit them, and their morale quickly fell.

On the contrary, the morale of the Western Sichuan Army was high. At first, everyone was a little skeptical that they could stop the attack of the Green Horse Army with their 4,000 men. But now, they seem to be too high for the Green Horse Army, not to mention one against four, or one against ten, as long as the Green Horse Army comes to attack, they can still make their heads bleed.

"Let's take time to rest, check your weapons, and get ready for the next battle!" Officers at all levels of the Western Sichuan Army are running on the battlefield, and they are the most tired people. Command the battle when the battle is raging, and even join the attack on the Green Horse Army. In the interval between battles, the defensive line had to be rearranged and so on, but there was no news.

Although the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is very fierce, the consumption of ammunition is also very large. Fortunately, they had enough ammunition this time, otherwise they would really not be able to face off against the Green Horse Army. Taking advantage of the gap between the Qingma Army's halt attacking, the heavy machine gunners of the Western Sichuan Army began to change the barrels of their heavy machine guns. The constant high-intensity firing smoothed out the rifling in the barrel. Although it is not completely scrapped, it will affect the battle as well. Take advantage of the time to replace now, so as not to be in a hurry after the battle begins.

"Lord Admiral, the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is too fierce, and the brothers can't rush up!" Gu Hongyun said stiffly again.

"Lord Admiral, you are well prepared to come to the western Sichuan army! Under such circumstances, we will not be able to defeat the Western Sichuan Army in front of us, let alone rescue Maqin. The fall of Maqin has become a foregone conclusion, let's think about it in the long run! Zhou He also persuaded. In the short attack just now, the Green Horse Army lost 3,000 people, and now there are only 13,000 people left, how many charges can be organized? If the troops are exhausted, not only Maqin will not be able to keep it, but the loss of the entire Qinghai will be in front of you!

Ma Haiyan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. Although he knew that if he had to fight hard with the Western Sichuan Army in front of him, even if he won, he would suffer heavy losses. However, now the troops have lost three thousand people, and if they give up like this, then the troops that were lost before were not lost in vain? At the same time, doesn't this also prove that his previous decision was wrong? This made the other generals of the Green Horse Army how he was. Perhaps, in his lifetime, these people will not be good. However, after all, he is already sixty-four years old, so how many years can he live! After his death, will his son Ma Lin be able to suppress these unruly generals?

"No! We must defeat the enemy in front of us. Although we suffered heavy losses, I believe that the attrition of the Western Sichuan Army was also very large. Especially in terms of weapons and ammunition. As long as we can defeat them, we will win this battle! Ma Haiyan said stubbornly.

Suddenly, Gu Hongyun and Zhou He were all cold. How could they not understand the meaning of Ma Haiyan's words? Ma Haiyan is going to use the Green Horse Army to consume the ammunition of the Western Sichuan Army! Create a zĂ o opportunity for the troops behind. This lack of regard for the soldiers of the Tsing Ma Army was very difficult for the two of them to accept. However, Ma Haiyan is the commander, and the Qingma Army is the army he single-handedly pulled, and his words are the supreme will, and no one can question it.

"Yes, Lord Admiral, I'll immediately organize the troops to prepare for the attack!" Gu Hongyun said.

"Ten minutes later, attack again, this time still with four battalions!" Ma Haiyan said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Admiral!" Gu Hongqiang nodded.

Ten minutes later, the Tsing Ma Army attacked again. It's just that this time four battalions were replaced. The four battalions of the Tsing Ma Army were responsible for this attack, the 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th. Although, the soldiers of these four battalions have long been frightened. But when it was their turn to attack, no one dared to raise an objection. It's just that it's not as positive as it was at the beginning, it's much more negative.

"Attack!" Under the orders of the battalion commanders of the Green Horse Army, the 4,000 Green Horse Army launched another attack. It's just that although the number of people is the same as the last attack, in terms of momentum, it is indeed much weaker.

"Boom! Rumble! "The cannons are blazing, and the children are flying. In the face of the strong firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, the soldiers of the Green Horse Army continued to advance at the cost of their lives. It's just that their role is to completely consume the ammunition of the Western Sichuan Army.

"What madness is Ma Haiyan doing? How dare you send such a few people to attack? Wang Yuze put down the telescope in his hand and asked with some puzzlement.

"He probably wants to use these people to consume our ammunition and prepare for the attack later! However, he is destined to be disappointed this time! Cai Yun said with a smile on his face. Although the battle on the battlefield was very bloody, and people died almost every second, it was not a big deal for soldiers who were used to seeing death.

This wave of attacks by the Qingma Army still had little effect, except for leaving a corpse on the ground and consuming a lot of ammunition from the Western Sichuan Army, it did not cause any losses to the Western Sichuan Army.

"Strictly order the troops in front not to retreat, otherwise military law will deal with it! Six battalions were again drawn to prepare to break through the positions of the Western Sichuan Army in one fell swoop! Ma Haiyan ordered with a cold face.

"Yes, Admiral!" Gu Hongyun commanded.

The soldiers of the Qingma Army on the battlefield almost collapsed under the strong firepower of the Western Sichuan Army. They wanted to retreat, but at this time, an order came from the rear not to retreat, which forced them to continue the attack and finally fell on the way forward.

"Attack!" Six battalions of soldiers from the Green Horse Army were drawn out again. Stepping on the corpses of his comrades, he once again charged against the artillery fire of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Green Horse Army shouted slogans loudly, as if this would cheer them up.

"The Green Horse Army is desperate!" When the Qingma Army sent a large number of troops to participate in the attack again, Wang Yuze said a little nervously.

"The attacking position of the Tsing Ma Army has always been the front of our defensive line, and it is estimated that they want to break through our defensive line with continuous attacks. The troops on both flanks were ordered to be better prepared, ready to launch a countercharge at any time. The second battalion in reserve is also ready for combat with a counter-charge! Cai Yun calmly gave the order.

The herald immediately went down to deliver the order. Horses were drawn to the defensive lines on both flanks, and the soldiers were ready to charge at any time to cooperate with the frontal battle. At the same time, the second battalion, as a reserve force, was also combat-ready.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The gunners on the side of the Western Sichuan Army seemed to be aware of the urgency of the situation and fired shells at maximum speed. The water in the water tank of the Maxim heavy machine gun had already been boiled, and white steam was emitting. Under the desperate attack of the Qingma Army, the heavy weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns of the Western Sichuan Army suffered great losses. Quite a few mortars were damaged by the high-intensity shelling. Those heavy machine guns with scrapped barrels did not even have time to replace the barrels. These places have become the key direction of the Green Horse Army's attack. After paying a lot of casualties, the Qingma Army finally rushed into the defensive position of the Western Sichuan Army.

However, the Green Horse Army also paid a heavy price for this. The four battalions of the second wave of the attack had already lost their strength. The strength of the sixth battalion of the third wave also paid most of it, and only then did it break through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army. However, the battle did not end there, and the Western Sichuan Army did not lose because of this.

"Grenades, throw! Finish throwing the grenade as fast as you can, then exit the position! The soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army threw grenades in front of them into the Green Horse Army, causing them huge casualties again. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, the positions were withdrawn.
