Chapter 671: The Situation Is Critical

As a qualified and experienced commander, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can definitely judge the changes in the battlefield from the sound of gunfire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Just when the second line of defense was providing strong fire support to the first line of defense, the shells of the little devils fell on the second line of defense, and in an instant, the firepower of the second line of defense was almost dumb.

This can only reflect the unique vision of the commander of this little devil reinforcement army, and what even more reflects his decisive side is that he immediately sent a large number of little devils to take advantage of the gap in the second line of defense to carry out a decisive battle on the first line of defense...... Although the second line of defense can provide strong fire support to the first line of defense, because of the angle problem and the fear of accidentally injuring the comrades on the first line of defense, the key support of firepower is only to hit the middle and rear of the small devil attack team, and the little devil who has rushed to the front of the first line of defense cannot be given a firepower blow.

But even so, it still advantageously delayed the attack of the follow-up troops of the little devils, so that its infantry could not form an effective large-scale direct attack.

Now, taking advantage of this gap, the follow-up troops of the little devil are suddenly connected to the forward, making it form a favorable continuous attack.

As soon as the commander of the third company commanded on the second line of defense saw this posture, he knew that the first line of defense could not be defended...... Fortunately, the order Zhang Qingshan gave them was not strictly guarded, and everyone was already mentally prepared. Therefore, for the soldiers, especially for the recruits, it will not affect morale, at least there will be no confusion: if the first line cannot be defended, then look at our second line of defense.

Sure enough, as soon as the commander on the first line of defense saw this situation, he immediately ordered everyone to give the little devil one last time, and directly asked everyone to retreat in an orderly manner according to the plan.

The little devil commander is also interesting.

Seeing that the first line of defense was captured, the shelling was immediately stopped. But after less than ten seconds of stopping, they actually shelled the second line of defense and the people on the original first line of defense that were retreating with even more intense shelling.

Zhang Qingshan saw the problem at a glance, snorted coldly at the moment, and then sighed again, his eyes were also a little heartache and self-blame: the little devil's shelling just now suddenly stopped, and then attacked with more fierce shelling, obviously, it was the supreme commander of this little devil who ordered the shelling to stop, and he paused halfway, obviously the people around him said something to him, so that he immediately made up his mind to shell again...... It seems that the commander of the little devil is not only experienced and resolute in battle, but also has high-quality military personnel around him, which is destined to make the little devil even more difficult to fight in the future showdown.

And Zhang Qingshan's heartache was naturally the loss of the soldiers when they retreated, and he blamed himself for rushing out the artillery company, he felt nothing at the time, and only thought that the second battalion could lose less when attacking the Weijia wharf, and now it seems that the decision he made at that time was a bit reckless, compared with the losses that can be expected now and in the future, even if the losses of the second battalion were at that time, they were definitely not as big as they are now.

Besides, as long as the artillery company is there, then, ambush on the side, and when the little devil is paralyzed, he can definitely succeed in the sneak attack and send the little devil's artillery back to his hometown in one fell swoop. In that way, after the little devil loses the artillery he relies on and is gone, not to mention the spirit of attack, it will even collapse automatically, and as long as he takes advantage of the situation, he may be able to end the battle...... Not to mention anything else, even in terms of the degree of loss, it can greatly reduce the losses of the assault group. It's a pity, but there is no regret medicine in the world, and now, I can only fight hard.

The commander of the third company has a lot of experience in battlefield command, and he doesn't need Zhang Qingshan to command at all: when he was shelled by the little devils for the first time, he ordered everyone to disperse in groups of three or five, so that he could not only reduce losses as much as possible, but also continue to cover the retreat of the soldiers on the first line of defense...... At this time, even if they have to withstand the shells, otherwise, as soon as they dodge, they will be safe, but the soldiers who are fighting and retreating the first line of defense will suffer.

The little devils obviously wanted to take advantage of the retreating soldiers on the first line of defense to retreat, and the second line of defense was being shelled, and they could not be effectively attacked in a short time, so they wanted to take the second line of defense in one go, so after occupying the first line of defense, they immediately continued to charge towards the second line of defense without stopping.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The fighters on the second line of defense immediately felt the tremendous pressure and threat to their lives: not only to cover the retreat of their comrades, but also to withstand the attack of artillery shells, so to speak, they were covering their comrades with their lives.

In the sound of explosions, from time to time, there will be soldiers who are injured in the air, and there will even be scenes of missing arms and legs; in the sound of gunfire, from time to time, there will be soldiers who directly pounce on him and die on this; and in the heart-rending screams, the comrades of the stretcher team will always run to him desperately......

All of this is enough to prove how tragic this local battle, which is too small to attract the attention of too many people.

Moreover, most of them were new recruits, and when they went to the battlefield for the first time, they were able to withstand such tremendous pressure and brave artillery fire to support their comrades, and there was not a single deserter, and they were all fighting bravely...... It's not easy to have such a performance, and it's enough to be proud.

But Zhang Qingshan, who was on the third line of defense, was very resentful of this, feeling like a lion, but he was locked in a cage, and he could only watch his companions fight with the enemy, but he was powerless, and he had to use reason from time to time to restrain his impulsive desires for the sake of the overall situation, so he wanted to look up to the sky and howl angrily. Especially seeing his soldiers sacrifice one by one, this kind of indignant grief and indignation made him feel that his chest was about to burst with anger, and he couldn't wait to rush down and fight to the death with the enemy. But as the commander of the regiment, as the supreme commander of this campaign, he could only restrain himself......

He punched the trunk of the tree beside him fiercely, the skin on the back of his hand was a little broken, and blood flowed out, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, but it made the resentment in his heart a little better.

"Commander......"

Sun Bingcheng on the side screamed, hurried to the front of the mountain, and was about to take a first-aid kit to bandage Zhang Qingshan, but was pushed away by Zhang Qingshan.

"Xiao Sun, you immediately go to the regimental headquarters in person, ask the signal soldiers to give the second company of the fourth battalion a banner, and ask them to send someone to ask where the first, second, and third battalions are? And tell the three battalions that every minute they arrive and go to the battlefield one minute earlier, they can save a comrade one minute earlier...... Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

After Sun Bingcheng ran away, Zhang Qingshan sucked the small wound on the back of his hand with his mouth, and then spat fiercely in the direction of the little devil...... This is considered to be the disinfection of one's own wounds.

"Someone!"

"Here!"

"You go and tell the commander of the third company that after covering the retreat of your comrades, you will give up the second line of defense, and everyone will go all out to defend the third line of defense. ”

"Yes!"

The plan is perfect, but the reality is skinny!

At this moment, even if Zhang Qingshan wanted to let the soldiers on the first two lines of defense retreat, he couldn't retreat, because the little devil probably guessed that it would be like this, so he bit very hard along the way, almost chasing the soldiers who retreated from the first line of defense, if it weren't for the soldiers on the second line of defense desperately covering, especially the light machine gun that retreated to the second line of defense in the first batch, plus the two light machine guns on the second line of defense, and the machine gunners with three light machine guns, risking death to fire together, giving the little devil a huge blow, maybe, the little devil really chased the ass of the retreating personnel and rushed up。

But even so, the little devil's tenacious fighting bushido spirit that is not afraid of death is really shocking: not to mention those little devils who are chasing, even in the face of machine gun fire, they actually screamed in the middle of the war, and they hit it one after another, absolutely not afraid of death.

Powerful firepower, a spirit of fearlessness, coupled with a huge blow to the second line of defense from artillery shelling. Even if there were three light machine guns firing together on the second line of defense, it only hindered the charging speed of the little devils, but it could not repel the attacks of the little devils.

To put it mildly, even the commander of the third company himself felt that the second line of defense would never be able to hold. Even, he is a little worried about the third line of defense.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan's order came in time, but the problem was that the little devil chased the commando soldiers of the first line of defense and rushed over, which means that it was impossible for them to retreat smoothly...... One is not good, and there is even the possibility of being smoothly rushed up by the little devils taking advantage of the opportunity of their retreat, so that the two sides will fall into a white-knuckle battle, and at that time, it will be a big trouble.

Unless someone stays behind to buy time for the retreat of the main force...... At this moment, to say that it is the queen of the palace, in fact, is to leave a death battle, an absolute life of nine deaths.

"Smack!"

After the soldiers of the first line of defense basically retreated to the second line of defense, the commander of the third company fired two shots at the little devil who was charging below, and felt that there was no bullet in the gun, and shouted loudly while quickly changing the magazine: "The second platoon and the first squad will stay with me, and the rest will retreat quickly." ”

It happened that the squad leader of the second platoon was beside him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly shot the little devil, and turned his head to the third company commander while pulling the bolt: "Company commander, you still take everyone to withdraw first, and my comrades and I will be behind." ”

"Whoosh~!"

"Boom!"

"What the hell is so much nonsense, hurry up and give Lao Tzu ......" As soon as he heard the sound of the cannonballs falling, the third company commander pressed the head of the first squad leader with his left hand. After the explosion, he grabbed the collar of the squad leader and shouted: "Quickly inform Lao Tzu to other comrades and let them retreat quickly." ”

The squad leader turned his head and gave an order to a soldier next to him, and after the soldier ran along the trench to give the order, he fired a shot at the little devil below, this time he was lucky, watching the little devil who was aiming directly on his back, he was satisfied while pulling the bolt and turned around and shouted to the third company commander: "Company commander, you go quickly, I am here to carry it." ”

"! Die together, just have company on Huangquan Road. ”

This is not good, you are the company commander, how can you sacrifice so easily? Our third company still has to rely on you...... This is the idea of a squad leader. But he knew better the stubborn temper of the third company commander, and knew that if he continued to persuade him like this, the third company commander would definitely not leave, and he would also delay his work blindly.

The squad leader suddenly widened his eyes, pointed to the right, and shouted: "Company commander, look over there." ”

The third company commander thought that there was something bad on the right, so he hurriedly looked in the direction of the squad leader's finger, saw that there was nothing abnormal, and was about to turn back, but he felt a pain in his neck, and his eyes were dark, so he didn't know anything.

Before passing out, the voice of a squad leader faintly appeared in his ears, "Company commander, I'm sorry, I'll ...... in the next life"

......
