The retaliatory artillery fire of the Cossack corps soon came, and the experienced Wehrmacht fighters immediately took refuge in the anti-artillery holes, leaving only a few observers to hold their positions.

The casualty rate of holding the position under artillery fire was very high, Huo Jiucheng had always refused to let Guo Cheng hold on to the outside on the grounds that the commander could not take risks, while he himself stayed on the position every time. The whistling sound of cannonballs sounded, and Huo Jiucheng rolled into a crater next to him with his experience, he had just left, and the place where he was lying just now had been hit by a cannonball.

Having trained several times in the near-real Rainbow Military Exercise, and fought several times in the Wa Kingdom, Huo Jiucheng was already able to judge the direction of the shells by ear alone. The logistical transport of the Cossack Empire was always criticized, and there were not enough shells at the front, so the Cossack artillery was stopped after only ten minutes.

With the operational ideas of the Cossacks, it was cheaper to smash the enemy with shells than to kill them with men, so after the symbolic shelling, the Cossack charge began again.

"The enemy is coming." Huo Jiucheng shouted, picked up a Type 03 machine gun and started shooting, this time the shelling of the Cossack artillery was a little too perfunctory, and the positions of the Wehrmacht were not greatly damaged. The fighters quickly moved into position, and a strong machine gun mounted on the slope of the trench.

Dense bullets were fired at the Cossack infantry, knocking down one soldier after another, but this time it seemed that the Cossacks were attacking very resolutely, and after the first casualties were exhausted, another group came up, as if to take the heights at once. The machine gun continued to roar, and the barrel soon turned red, and the heavy had to open the wrench on the gun and replace it with a new one.

Gradually, more and more machine guns were replaced with barrels, but under the overload of fire, the new barrels were quickly turned red, and each machine gun had only one spare barrel, and the machine gunners at this time only had to use the water in their own kettle to cool the barrel, but this was a temporary measure after all, and the continuous fire of the machine guns was slowly weakening, and gradually the machine gun fire thinned out.

Seeing that the Wehrmacht fire was weakening, the Cossacks, who were suppressed and could not raise their heads, came to their senses, and they rushed forward with rifles and shouts. The attacking Cossack corps were getting closer and closer to their positions, and the Wehrmacht soldiers in the trenches were already able to clearly see the shining copper buttons on the Cossacks' chests and the full beards on their faces.

"Grenades." With Guo Cheng's order, the soldiers threw grenades one after another.

"Get on the bayonet, we rush." After speaking, Guo Cheng pulled out the machete behind his back and was the first to rush forward. The rank and file commanders all used Beretta pistols, so each of them had a thin-bladed machete similar to that of a cavalryman. Wielding a machete, Guo Cheng was the first to rush out of the trench, followed closely by Huo Jiucheng, who was also holding a machete.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Cossacks were somewhat confused by grenades, the commanders of the Wehrmacht at all levels of the Armed Forces were the first to charge, and under the leadership of the commanders, all the fighters rushed forward with semi-automatic rifles with three-edged bayonets open.

A few shots rang out, and the commanders in close quarters first shot with pistols, killing many Cossacks, and then the Type 03 submachine guns in the hands of the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders opened fire, and the dense bullets knocked down the Cossack soldiers. Before the Cossacks could organize their offensive formation, the bayonet-armed warriors had already rushed into the ranks of the Cossacks.

The clanging of bayonets sounded, and the two sides had already turned their bayonets into red and entered the stage of white-knuckle combat. In the beginning, the Cossacks relied on their tall and burly stature to take advantage of the stabbing skills, but unfortunately they ran into the soldiers of the Chinese Empire who had been trained in the highest swordsmanship in the new barracks.

The pinnacle sword technique is Xiao Feng's fusion on the basis of Chinese martial arts on the earth, and transformed into a special bayonet usage, such a knife technique is not something that the Cossacks who only rely on strength to fight can understand. When the bayonets of the Cossack soldiers collided with the bayonets of the Wehrmacht soldiers, the Cossacks felt as if there was a sticky force on the bayonets, and before they could react, their own bayonets were led astray.

By the time the Cossack soldiers wanted to withdraw their bayonets, it was too late. The sharp, three-edged bayonet had already pierced the Cossack soldier's body. The triangular bayonet, which was characteristic of the Chinese Empire, differed from the dagger-style bayonets used in other countries.

Since there are three blood troughs in the opposite side, once the bayonet enters the opponent's body, air can be quickly introduced into the opponent's body through the blood trough. The introduced air forms an air plug in the body, which is able to plug the blood vessels. Therefore, the bayonet only needs to enter any part of the human body about eight centimeters, and the enemy can be killed instantly.

The benefits of the three-edged bayonet do not stop there, because the body muscles cannot be attached to the bayonet surface when contracted, so they will not suck the bayonet, so that the bayonet can be calmly pulled out of the human body for the next assassination, without the slightest stagnation between movements.

The wound pierced by the three-edged bayonet is generally a square hole, and the sides of the wound cannot be squeezed against each other to achieve a certain hemostasis and healing effect. Moreover, such wounds are difficult to bandage and stop, therefore, the lethality of triangular bayonets is very high.

Despite the skill of the knife and the sharpness of the three-edged bayonet, there were too many Cossacks, and the Wehrmacht soldiers, who were inferior in numbers, were gradually exhausted, and the battle line was likely to be broken. At the critical moment, Guo Cheng shouted: "All commanders retreat, don't use big knives, concentrate on shooting with guns." ”

Hearing Guo Cheng's shout, all the commanders took two steps back and reloaded their weapons. For fear of injuring their own people by mistake, both the bolted rifles of the Cossacks and the semi-automatic rifles of the Wehrmacht did not dare to open fire because of their great power.

But the commanders are different, their weapons are all pistol rounds, and there are very few cases of small ricochets, which are very suitable for melee use. The squad leaders used submachine guns, the other commanders used pistols, and soon the crackling of gunfire rang out, knocking the Cossacks to the ground, and the Cossacks became more and more dead and wounded, and soon they were driven down.

"Get back to the bomb hole." Seeing the Cossack soldiers retreating, Guo Cheng did not have a trace of excitement, he immediately shouted to the soldiers to enter the bunker, and soon the retaliatory shelling of the Cossack artillery came, and some of the soldiers who did not have time to jump into the trenches were blown down one after another.

Perhaps having received the news of the heavy casualties in Yakutsk, the attack of the Cossack army was becoming more and more intense, and the interval between the two charges was getting shorter and shorter, everything indicated that the Cossacks were going to fight hard. Throughout the morning, Guo Cheng's battalion repelled six Cossack charges.
