172 Danger Edge

"Commander, it can't go on like this, the elite who dare to rush up has lost too much, and the soldiers are a little emotional, the gendarmerie has been dispatched, but I don't know how long it can be stable. You have to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, once the soldiers are out of order, this ambush of ours will be a complete failure! ”

At the forward command of the Negro Republic, the chief of staff of the Eastern Front Command, Stefan Schwa, was looking anxiously at his commander, Taijia Bush, waiting for his order. Nearly a year after the war with Ankenrein, it was the first time that Stefan Schgvar had seen such a tragic battlefield, his own soldiers were like mud and paper toys, and as soon as they rushed up, they were torn apart by the enemy's ferocious and unusual firepower. The 40,000 men of the four divisions of the 19th Army and the 18th Army, which were in charge of this encirclement operation, have lost nearly 30 percent of the soldiers stipulated in the military regulations in the ongoing battle, and those soldiers who dare to charge and can charge are dying in large numbers, and a large number of cheap casualties and the enemy's devil-like weapons are rapidly destroying the confidence of their own soldiers. Although Negro has an absolute advantage in numbers, if it continues to fight like this, its morale will fall to the bottom.

"Don't worry," Bush waved his hand and looked down at the sand table. On the sand table that reflects the topography of Ensten Province, the left and right sides of Rufeng Mountain have long been planted with small flags.

"Elena may be small, but their weapons are very advanced, and the guns we captured from the Western Theater speak for themselves. If we want to take the province of Ensten, if we want the army of the Negru Republic to truly become an irresistible and powerful army in this world, we must destroy Elena's resistance and get their technology. And this plan is to start with the destruction of their main combat power today. Therefore, we must be patient and must not give up halfway. ”

Taijia Bush's thinking was very clear, "Inform Loren Maggio and James Lester to get the 21st and 22nd armies ready." If Levi Slatley's 19th Army, as well as Alan Carvallo's, could not hold out, they would have to go up. Give the order now to build a second layer of encirclement from the perimeter. Also, don't use the battle march formation, just run into place, and then organize a formation after you are in place, understand? ”

"Understood, I'll give it down!"

Stefan Schgvar nodded and turned to leave. Tai George W. Bush looked at the curtain he lifted and was silent for two seconds before sighing in a low voice.

Even he himself was unsure of the outcome of this battle. When the enemy will show signs of fatigue, and whether his own soldiers will be able to push the enemy to that point before they collapse, is what worries him most. This time, even if you are fully prepared, in the end, whether your own soldiers can't bear the psychological pressure and collapses, or the enemy's weapons run out of ammunition and collapse, it is only five or five.

————————————

"Report to the brigade commander, the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th regiments are running out of ammunition, and our offensive is blocked!!"

While Tai Bush worries about his plans, Ivan and Bellanch also run into Gastens concerns. Because of the enemy's lifeless impact and attack, the ammunition of their two brigades was rapidly depleted, and the soldiers of many regiments had already exhausted most of their magazines, so they had to switch the Thundering 1 to single-shot mode and start aiming and shooting. The gunfire on the battlefield gradually thinned out.

"It's dangerous to go on like this!" , Berlanchir broke Ivan's fears, "We can't fall in love anymore, we must speed up the retreat!" ”

"I see", Ivan thought for a moment and looked at Bellanch, "how about we concentrate our ammunition and give priority to the front and flanks, and the soldiers in the rear are mainly defensive?" ”

Ivan's proposal makes sense. Behind them, were the destroyed steam cannons. The heat emitted by the high-temperature metallurgical pyroxene turned that area into a harsh passage that was inconvenient to pass. The enemy simply built an encirclement on the other side of the wreckage and did not advance with their retreat. The rear, which is the front of the two when they first attacked, is now the position where Elena and the two teams are the least stressed.

"I agree, just do it!"

Orders from Ivan and Berlanchel began to be given. But at the same time as they were ordering, the sound of gunfire, which was clearly beginning to thin out, gave the enemy a clear signal. The Negro soldiers, who had already hesitated in the face of the ferocious fire of Elena's army, were excited, shouting and attacking from both flanks with scimitars and steam rifles, while the soldiers in front of them relied on armoured carts and lined up to shoot, assuming the appearance that you would never want to go by. In some parts of Ivan and Berranch's ranks, there had even been hand-to-hand contact between the two soldiers, and if it weren't for the strength of the Luoshan 1 machine gun, they might have been entangled by those crazy enemies.

"Hurry up, there's not much time left for us!"

Ivan now has urgency, too. He and Belanchell tweaked tactical details as they moved forward. As the orders of the two continued to be issued, the two Elena combat brigades that were under siege began to break through with a tough posture.

——————————

"No, it's not a way to go on like this", Gastens regretted for the first time that he didn't keep the reserves, "send our guards up, inside and outside, tear the hole!" ”

"But, my lord, the guards are there to keep you safe, and we can't leave you!" Kurt was a little embarrassed, and the highest mission of the guard was to keep Gastens safe. Even if Ivan and Bellancheer died in front of him, he would not hesitate to give up if the price of saving them was Gastens lives.

"It's okay, I'll follow along!" , Gastens made an irrational decision, "You should have heard about me when you were in the Sixth Legion, I also fought from the death squad back then, and I am not afraid of this battle!" ”

Gastens said, pointing to the enemy's formation, "You see, the enemy has new troops running into position, hoping to establish a perimeter encirclement. At that time, once the double encirclement is established, the people inside will not be able to get out, and Elena will be in big trouble. So, we have to pull our people out! ”

"My lord, why don't I leave half of your people and you command here, how about it?"

"Needless to say, they are all revolutionary comrades, and their identities are not high or low. If those people are willing to die for the revolutionary cause, then why can't we? ”

Gastens put on a high profile and calmed Kurt. Kurt went down to arrange his troops as ordered, and Gastens picked up the telescope again.

————————————

"Brigade commander, the second and third regiments of our brigade have almost no bullets, and hand-to-hand combat has begun in many places!"

"Brigade commander, our fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments are all out of bullets, and if we continue like this, we are likely to fall into hand-to-hand combat, or even be surrounded by the enemy!"

"My lord, the enemy seems to have a new movement behind the armored plate car, and the situation we are observing is not very clear at present, but in general, it should be a new line of defense to prevent us from breaking through!"

Listening to the bad news that poured in, Ivan and Bellanchir both frowned. Now, the sound of fighting was clearly audible in their ears. Looking around left and right, you can already see that many people with large knives are charging. The men were dressed in the blue uniforms of the Neglo Republic, and the expressions on their faces were a mixture of fear and excitement.

They will have to take advantage of Elena's firepower gap during this time to close the distance between the two sides and maintain the advantage for the final victory.

"Concentrate ammunition and firepower in front of us, we break through!"

Ivan and Bellanchir finally gave the strongest order. The soldiers who were breaking through divided the few bullets on their bodies and gave a large part of the front line. After these bullets were supplied, the frontal fire of the troops intensified again. This time, however, the enemy seemed to sense the fatigue of Elena's troops, and their attack not only did not stop, but intensified.

——————————

"Head, when are we going to go in?" After the troops were assembled, Kurt asked solemnly with him. Most of the soldiers present now know that the operation has suffered a setback, and they are adjusting their weapons in the hope of contributing to the battle.

"Now, we can't wait any longer!"

Gastens had been paying attention to the distant gunfire for some time, and judging by the frequency and rhythm of the gunfire, Bellanchir and Ivan's ammunition was on the verge of danger. Now, the distinctive burst of gunfire of the Thundering 1 and Luoshan 1 is rarely heard in the encirclement, and instead is the dull sound of single shots. These sounds were drowned out by the enemy's platoon guns and could not be heard at all without careful listening.

"Understood, you must be careful, my lord!"

Kurt nodded and gave the order. The last force in the hands of Gastens, a regiment-sized guard, was about to enter the battlefield.

——————————————

Evan Hendry lay on the ground, looking at a firing point in front of him. As the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 18th Army, his task is to lead his soldiers to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. In his previous life experience, there were no major ups and downs other than the capture of Ankenrein in the early days of the war. And now, his life is about to usher in the peak after a long period of trough.

Engage and defeat Elena's advanced weaponry units.

"Click-"

The sound of the originally loud steam machine gun suddenly disappeared, replaced by the sound of the air valve idling. As a soldier who had been captured with Atta Wales, Evan Hendry was no stranger to this kind of sound, and every time it sounded, it meant that a machine gun on the opposite side had stopped firing. Ten minutes before one machine gun stops firing, another machine gun will immediately follow, stopping Hendry and his men from continuing their attack. But now, there was a quiet gap on the battlefield.

Knowing that the enemy's machine guns were fizzling, Hendry got up from the ground, raised his scimitar in his hand and shouted:

"Give me !!!"

Behind him, the soldiers, who were lying on the ground like him, got up, picked up scimitars and long knives and rushed towards the enemy. At such times, their hearts are victorious in addition to victory. Although there was no weapon with which the enemy could bounce off the ground and continue firing, the short distance between the enemy and the enemy gave Evan Hendry and his men some confidence.

At such a distance, Chong also rushed over.

In fact, after taking advantage of the enemy's firepower to charge, Evan Henderson's team finally cut through the line, and finally the dozen or so Elena soldiers guarding the line fought to the death, and they were all killed. The machine gun that had been killing his soldiers became their trophy.

"Leave the gun alone, keep charging me!!"

Evan Henderson saw that his few soldiers were trying to get their guns, and immediately stopped them. Now is the moment when every second counts, and those weapons, when they are won, are not all their own.

Evan Henderson was right, although his soldiers were on the verge of collapse and the huge casualties made him feel uneasy when he remembered it, but from the time the enemy's gunfire thinned out, his soldiers and officers launched multiple waves of more lethal charges as if they were doping, and for the first time since the engagement, began to inflict massive casualties on the enemy.

If it goes on like this, you can win!

————————————

Evan Henderson's judgment, Ivan and Berlanchier are also aware. Both of them recognized what Gastens had only recently talked about, a hidden danger in Elena's advanced troops.

When ammunition is low, Elena's soldiers are just soldiers.

"It can't go on like this!" , Ivan saw that the soldiers guarding his flanks began to hesitate and retreat, knowing that it was time for you to die. He inhaled hard and shouted:

"Lao Tzu also came out of the death squad back then, there were no weapons, only machetes, Lao Tzu fought, you people, some of them also fought! Let's see the bunnies on the other side, our Ailena's troops, whether they have guns or not, are the most powerful! ”

Ivan's voice didn't travel far in the noisy battlefield, but the soldiers who heard it carried his words even further. Although there are no beautiful words and embellishments, Ivan's words also arouse everyone's ferocity. The soldiers, who were gradually losing the blessing of advanced weapons, finally came to their senses of seeing death as if they were at home, and began to fight the enemy with bayonets.

——————————

"Commander, our troops have come into contact with the enemy and have entered the stage of fighting bayonets!"

Chief of Staff Stefan Schgwa's voice was filled with excitement, and the Tay family was also lightly relieved to hear the news. Push the enemy to this point, and all that's left is to overwhelm and destroy the enemy with your own numerical superiority. And after today's battle, Elena will be in his pocket.

"Tell me to go down, launch a general attack, don't stop, don't let an enemy go!"

Tai Bush gave the latest order. However, just as he walked to the sandbox, trying to calm his imminent victory, the herald sent bad news.

"Commander, it has been discovered that the enemy's reinforcements, probably less than two thousand people, are attacking the weak points of our encirclement! They have plenty of ammunition, and our troops responsible for stopping the enemy's retreat will not be able to stop them! ”

"What!?" Bush screamed, and then realized that it was normal for the other side to keep reserves. Although judging from the information he received, it should have been all the advanced armed forces of the enemy that attacked his side today. However, the truth is the ultimate winner. Since the enemy still has reinforcements, then this battle still has to be fought.
