Chapter 155: The Decisive Battle

"Young marshal, although this plan is a little risky, if it succeeds, the harvest will be huge. If Lao Du's side can resist the attack of the British ** team, my plan is feasible! Su Hongguang, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, said first.

"Hmm!" Wang Yuze nodded, and then continued: "There are two most important aspects of this plan. One is that the 9th Brigade must hold the line of defense on Mount Volt. The second is that we must quickly break through the defense line of the British and Indian troops, and then intersperse and surround the British ** team attacking Volt Mountain. In this process, we can even not care too much about eliminating those Anglo-Indian troops, as long as we can surround the British ** team attacking Volt Mountain. Well, those Indian troops will be of little use! Wang Yuze said.

"Young Marshal, leave this task to our Eighth Brigade! Our Eighth Brigade has been resting for the past few days, and it has already recovered its combat strength. We guarantee that we will be able to break through the defense line of the British and Indian troops, and then make a quick detour to surround the British ** team attacking Volt Mountain! "The commander of the Eighth Brigade, Su Hongguang, immediately asked Zhandao.

"Young Marshal, let's go to the Seventh Brigade! Yesterday's daytime battle was nothing more than a trivial matter, and our 7th Brigade promised not to disappoint the young marshal! "Xie Dingkun, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, also took the lead in snatching combat missions with the Eighth Brigade.

"Wang Wei, first inform the Ninth Brigade of my decision and ask them if they can hold the defensive line!" Wang Yuze said. The Ninth Brigade held the line of defense on Mount Volt and was the most important. Otherwise, Wang Yuze's plan is nothing more than a castle in the air. Even if they were able to defeat the Anglo-Indian army, if Volt Hill was lost, it would put the western Sichuan army in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Yes, young marshal!" Wang Wei nodded and immediately went to send a telegram.

"As for attacking the Anglo-Indian army on the opposite side, we need to put in the maximum number of troops. Therefore, both the 7th and 8th Brigades had to be mobilized. After the defeat of the Anglo-Indian army, the 8th Brigade was responsible for encircling the British ** team in a roundabout way, and the 7th Brigade was responsible for clearing out those Indian troops so that they would not affect our battle against the British ** team. However, the Seventh Brigade stands ready to assist the Eighth Brigade. After all, that's tens of thousands of elite British troops! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, young marshal! We promise to get the job done! The generals of the Seventh and Eighth Brigades all replied loudly.

Volt Mountain, the position of the Ninth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, is still under artillery fire. The artillery of the Western Sichuan Army suppressed the artillery of the British and Indian Army, making it impossible for them to attack the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, all the light and heavy firepower on the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army poured fire on the British Gurkha Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade located in the first line of defense. The second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army was located on a hillside more than 20 meters high, and it was condescending, so that the firepower of the Western Sichuan Army could be brought into full play. The British team stopped several attacks, but they were all beaten back, with countless dead and wounded, and the hillside was already full of their corpses.

The headquarters of the Ninth Brigade, Du Qizheng and other generals of the Ninth Brigade, their faces were very stern. The attack of the British ** team was very fierce, and the second line of defense was precarious several times, if it was not for the timely dispatch of reinforcements, I am afraid it would have been breached. But even so, they dare not guarantee how long the second line of defense of the Ninth Brigade will be able to hold on.

"Brigadier Commander, the latest telegram from the young marshal!" At this time, the signal corpsman handed the telegram to Du Qizheng.

Du Qizheng quickly took one, and then laughed: "Haha, the young marshal is really a big deal!" Call back to the young marshal, even if our 9th Brigade fights to the last soldier, we will ensure that Volt Mountain is under our control! ”

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The signal corps immediately rushed to deliver the message.

"Lao Du, what order does the young marshal have?" Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the Ninth Brigade, asked.

"Yourself!" Du Qizheng handed the telegram to Zhang Ruifeng.

"Haha, the young marshal is really a good plan. However, in this case, the pressure on our 9th Brigade will come! Zhang Ruifeng said. According to Wang Yuze's plan, their 9th Brigade will be under very great pressure, and even if it wins in the end, the entire brigade may suffer heavy losses.

"It's stressful! We have no choice, though. This is also the only way for us to defeat the British quickly. Lao Zhang, if the front line is not good, I will go up in person, and if I die, the troops will be handed over to you to command! Du Qizheng said.

"Okay, Lao Du. If you hang up, I'll go up. If I hang up, the old money will go up again. Even if we all die in battle, we won't let go of these British devils! Zhang Ruifeng also laughed.

"Haha, good! Our Ninth Brigade, sure enough, there is not a single miscellaneous. Next, it's ours! Du Qizheng laughed. He laughed heartily, even though he knew that the Ninth Brigade would suffer great losses regardless of whether it was victory or defeat. However, for the sake of the overall situation, the Ninth Brigade could only be sacrificed. The sacrifice of the 9th Brigade was also exchanged for victory in the war, and it was totally worth it.

After Wang Yuze received the telegram sent back by the Ninth Brigade, he immediately issued an order: "Everyone, the Ninth Brigade guarantees to hold the defense line of Volt Mountain. So, it's up to us next. The 7th and 8th Brigades immediately prepared and launched an attack twenty minutes later. This time, there will be no artillery preparations, and we will launch a surprise attack to crush the Anglo-Indian army on the opposite side in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes, young marshal!" All the generals assured that after saluting Wang Yuze, they immediately left the headquarters and began to make preparations for the attack. Everybody is very excited, and if it wins, it will be a huge win. They will put an end to this war once and for all.

The soldiers of the 7th and 8th Brigades, who were sleeping soundly, were woken up one after another. Although now there is a big battle going on in the direction of Mount Volt, it does not affect their sleep. If they had slept for an extra minute before they had been ordered, they would have had more energy. After being woken up, everyone knew that there was a mission soon, and they gathered their wounded weapons one after another, ready to start attacking according to the order.

Twenty minutes later, it's night... Middle. The 7th and 8th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army quietly jumped out of the trenches and touched the positions of the British and Indian troops, and the first battalion of the 7th Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the 8th Brigade were the leaders. Their two battalions will be tasked with quickly tearing through the Anglo-Indian defense line and opening the passage for the large forces behind.

The dense fog still did not dissipate, and the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army could use the cover of the dense fog to get as close as possible to the Anglo-Indian defense line. Compared with the British army, the British and Indian troops were much less alert. When the British ** team just began to attack Volt Mountain, they were also in the spirit of twelve points, afraid of being attacked by the Western Sichuan Army. However, with the passage of time, the opposite Sichuan West Army still did not move, which made the British and Indian troops slack, before they came, now Volt Mountain was fiercely attacked, and the Sichuan West Army should have reinforced Volt Mountain, and it was impossible to attack them. Therefore, the Anglo-Indian army, which had slackened, only arranged a small number of sentinels, and left it alone.

Those Indian Ah San, one by one, were also drowsy, although they were sentinels, they did not play the role of sentinels at all, and they slept in the trenches with their guns in their arms, and they didn't even know that the western Sichuan army touched their side.

The troops of the first two battalions of the Western Sichuan Army immediately attacked the Anglo-Indian trenches, and they used daggers and bayonets as much as possible to avoid alarming the other Anglo-Indian troops. However, the unexpected happened. Less than five minutes after the Western Sichuan Army entered the position, a slain Indian Ah San let out a heart-rending inhuman scream before he died. Suddenly, the entire Indian Ah San on the battlefield was awakened.

"Hit!" Gao Desheng, the first battalion of the 7th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, immediately gave an order.

"Boom! Rumble! "The mortars that the Western Sichuan Army had already erected began to wield. Heavy machine guns also began to strafe the Anglo-Indian trenches, and those Anglo-Indian soldiers who had just emerged were immediately shot to the ground.

In the rear, the main forces of the 7th and 8th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army also immediately launched an offensive.

The Anglo-Indian army, which was awakened, was in a panic, and it was simply unable to resist the attack of the western Sichuan army. Some people rushed to the position with weapons in an attempt to resist the attack of the western Sichuan army, but many more people, in a panic, ignored everything and fled in all directions. Some of the Anglo-Indian troops fled in the direction of the British ** team's attack on Mount Volt, and some fled directly to the hinterland of India. It can be seen how bad the combat effectiveness of these Indian Ahsan is.

In less than twenty minutes, the Western Sichuan Army cut through the entire position of the British and Indian troops, and then began to break through vertically. After the position was breached, those British and Indian troops had no courage to resist and fled one after another.

If they could summon up the courage to fight the Western Sichuan Army, the result would have been completely different. After all, there are more than 30,000 British and Indian troops in number, and their weapons and equipment are not bad, if they can desperately resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army, it will not be so easy for the Western Sichuan Army to win.

After breaking through the positions of the British and Indian troops, the two brigades of the Western Sichuan Army immediately began to attack according to the previous division of labor. The 8th Brigade immediately attacked in the direction of Mount Volt, preparing to copy the rear road of the British ** team. The 7th Brigade continued to attack the Anglo-Indian troops, scattering them, if not destroying them, but routing them. In this way, the Western Sichuan Army will be able to focus on the decisive battle with the British ** team.

The sound of gunfire on the positions of the British and Indian troops attracted the attention of the British ** team who were attacking Mount Volt. Now, the battle of Volt Mountain is in full swing, and the British ** team has broken through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army twice, but they have been driven down by the Western Sichuan Army, although they have lost a corpse, but they believe that the Western Sichuan Army is about to be unable to support it, and they are about to win.
