Chapter 311: Retreat

The adjutant also knew that the situation was serious, and hurriedly ran to the logistics department and mobilized 300 mines. In fact, 70 mines could have plugged that gap. However, the current measures to waterproof mines are not very good, and many dumb mines are generated on rainy days, and not only that, but many mines will also be washed away. So 300 mines is the limit.

The first wave of attacks fell short again, which made Stanley and the other three generals itch their teeth. Every time it is a little bit worse, as long as you hold on for a while and push forward for a while, the Cangjiang defense line can be broken through. Not only that, but now there are even more deadly things happening.

Stanley's face was solemn and he said uneasily.

"I just asked Master Gongora and they said that heavy rain of this magnitude has lasted for two days at most. The power of the magic scroll is decreasing. In two days, we may be facing even more fierce fighting. ”

Marshall's fingers kept tapping on the table, and it was clear that even his heart was a little anxious.

"Two days? In fact, the heavy rain has also had a lot of effects on our army. Many of the generals who returned said that the heavy rain not only affected the realization, but also made the march difficult. If you still insist on a strong attack, you may lose a lot. ”

Apparently other people are aware of the problem as well.

A corps commander of the Noble Army said, seeing that Stanley and Marshall were asking them to make up for the loss. And there's nothing wrong with that, legions like the Liger and the Falcon. It must be used on the cutting edge. And the hint given to him by Lord Earl is not to care too much about the loss, and to try to cooperate with Marshall and Stanley.

After thinking about it, he said.

"Then let my Legion of Radiance give it a try."

Stanley and Marshall glanced at each other, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Okay, then I'll try to increase artillery support. Wait until after dark to attack, although we will also be affected. But the enemy's muskets, artillery are not small, and this sacrifice is still worth it. ”

"But I'm going to make a different breakthrough, although this section of the line has been broken down in the morning. But the enemy forces must have been rearranged and focused on defense. I'm going to fall into their trap again. ”

The general said.

Marshall nodded.

"It's a must. However, if you break through in other aspects, your difficulties will not be small. ”

The general said confidently.

"I can't do it, 30,000 people can't gnaw it."

Soon night fell, and the rain covered the stars. Besson took a deep puff of his cigarette, he was now in retreat. Slowly maneuver the enemy into the northwest. There is a well-developed railway network and road system. And it's not an industrial center, so it's not too distressing to be destroyed.

But Wayne wrote to him, telling him not to give up the Cangjiang defense line easily unless the price was unbearable. Otherwise, politically they will face tremendous pressure from the northwestern aristocracy. It's very difficult to deal with when the time comes.

Beson's brow furrowed, and Wayne's words were limited and ambiguous. What does it mean to be costly?

Could it be that the First Army was destroyed at the expense of it? He didn't understand why he cared so much about some nobles who were waiting to die, and in his opinion, even if these nobles were destroyed, no one would say anything. To be honest, he doesn't know much about politics, so it's better to listen to experts. Wayne was more politically far-sighted than he was.

"Commander, the 57th Brigade reported that the enemy took advantage of the darkness to touch it. I'm afraid it's already at war now. ”

As if in response to the adjutant, Beson faintly felt the sound of artillery coming from a distance. Immediately turned around and looked at the sand table, and accurately found the location of the 57th Brigade. After a long period of fighting, he knew the Cangjiang defense line well. At the same time, we are well aware of how fragile this line of defense is now.

"They can break through the 57th Brigade from here, if that's the case..."

Besson groaned as his fingers kept moving on the sand table.

"Not good!"

Beson suddenly raised his voice.

"Quick, let the 56th Regiment, the 87th Brigade support the 57th Brigade. The enemy is definitely a general attack this time, not a temptation. ”

The adjutant's face turned pale, and although he didn't know much about warfare, he was familiar with Beson's side. also knew the seriousness of this time, regardless of the body that had already overdrawn his physical strength, he immediately turned his head and ran.

Beisen gritted his teeth tightly, his muscles protruding, hoping that nothing would happen tonight.

"By the way, have the logistics pontoon bridges been built?"

"That's it!"

"Pass the order, you may have to retreat tonight, and all units are ready not to leave anything for the enemy."

"Yes!"

Rainy nights are the darkest, because you can't even light a torch. Even the soldiers hiding in the fortress did not light torches. Because it's hard to see the dark in the light, even if you don't know how it works. But every veteran remembers this rule and will always instruct the recruits.

Bang bang~

The fire of the muzzle of the gun kept beating in the night, and although it was the light of death, it undoubtedly pointed out the offensive line of defense for the noble army.

"Rush~!"

If we take this place tonight, we will capture the Cangjiang River, and the earl will be rewarded.

The general kept motivating the soldiers, but he didn't move a single step. He had heard that many people had been damaged on the Cangjiang defensive line. He didn't want to be one of them.

The commander of the 57th Brigade could only see many dark shadows on the hillside, sparse like a tide. From time to time, I heard the screams of the enemy. Now the fatal thing is that he doesn't know the number of enemy troops attacking, so he can't tell whether this time is a general attack or a feint. As a result, he was unsure whether he should apply for support or not. Now his every decision will determine the course of the war.

But soon the herald solved his problem.

"Report, the 56th Regiment, the 87th Brigade are coming to help!"

The commander of the 57th Brigade frowned.

"Is this a general attack?"

"The commander said that this is the enemy's general attack! So let the 56 regiment, the 87 brigade come to the rescue! ”

The commander of the 57th Brigade fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and the news from the commander must be more complete than him, if it is a general attack, it must be a general attack.

But the situation still could not change anything, and the immediate increase of 2,000 men still could not change the disadvantage of the First Army. The terrain combined with the effect of visibility, the effective range of the musket is currently only 30 meters, not to mention the artillery. In the dark, there was no way to measure the distance at all, and only a few shots could be fired in the general direction, and it was difficult to reap the results. In this case, it is clear that cold weapons have become the main method of duel.

Fortunately, the First Army usually has most shooting events, but it still has not given up its ability to fight in close combat.

The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter.

"Get on the bayonet! Torch! ”

For~

The blades collided with each other, making a crisp trill, and in the orange firelight, everyone was immersed in the pleasure of killing, their faces hideous, and they roared.

The noise soon coalesced, and the soldiers in the nearby line could hear the harrowing sound coming through the rain curtain.

However, the 1,000-meter hillside has become fresh flesh and blood that the meat grinder constantly refuses to send.

The general of the aristocratic army in charge of logging in was relieved when he heard the sound of fighting on the mountain. Just drag the enemy into hand-to-hand combat, and you're half the battle.
