readx; Chapter 431: Sacrifice

With the sound of gunfire again, the No. 4 Heights, which had been crumbling by the fierce attack of the Americans, became strong again after Diao Fei led the first battalion of the headquarters guards up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But unfortunately, they came up too late, and even after searching the position, they could not find a single one alive, not even a single intact corpse, and all a hundred soldiers on the entire Fourth Heights were killed.

Maybe if they come a few minutes more at night, the US Army will not only break through from the middle of the two heights, but directly take the No. 4 heights!

And at that time, if you want to regain the position, I am afraid it will not be as easy as it was just now.

After listening to the report, Diao Fei became silent, although he had long expected that with 20,000 people of the Fourth Cavalry Division, blocking the fierce attack of more than 500,000 troops of the American Northern Front Corps, the losses would definitely be very large, but now when he really saw the situation here, he knew that he still underestimated the tragedy of the war.

In order to be able to open a gap in the Huojia army's hilly defense line, the Americans took out almost all the heavy weapons such as artillery and machine guns that could be used, and completely let go of their hands and feet to carry out fierce bombardment towards the Huo family's position, even if they hurt their own soldiers.

It can be seen that in order to win this war, the entire U.S. Northern Front Corps, including their commander Joseph Johnston, has done everything they can.

"Da Da ......!" Diao Fei, who was depressed, picked up the flower-faced submachine gun at hand. The American soldiers who were rushing up the hill shot wildly until they ran out of bullets. I just felt a little better.

Just when he was about to change the magazine and continue fighting, he was suddenly thrown to the ground from behind, and just when Diao Fei was angry in his heart and was about to stand up, the unique whistling sound of heavy howitzer shells sounded in his ears.

"Boom......!" The shells with a charge of more than 10 kilograms smashed directly on the position, accompanied by a deafening explosion, and the waves of air and shrapnel scattered around the surrounding more than ten meters of mud, sand and gravel were all smashed into pieces. Even Diao Fei, who was lying on the ground, could hear the sound of shrapnel flying over his head.

"Ahem!" Shaking his head, which was a little dizzy, Diao Fei coughed. didn't bother to slap the dirt on his body, and quickly turned the person lying on top of him.

"Meng Changgui!" After Diao Fei saw clearly the person who had escaped him, he couldn't help but blurt out with surprise.

"How did you come here?" Saying this, Diao Fei put his right hand behind Meng Changgui and suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and soon his face changed, as a veteran who had fought on the battlefield, he knew what it was.

"Hygienist!!" Diao Fei's eyes were red. Raised his head and shouted in a hissing voice.

"Ahem!" Blood mixed with scattered minced meat flowed out of Meng Changgui's mouth uncontrollably, and soon stained the yellow-green military uniform on his chest.

"Si, commander! You are the commander of our Northern Route Army, you shouldn't come to the front-line position, it's too dangerous, in case you have a good one. We're going to lose command!"

Although he was seriously injured, Meng Changgui, who had a weak breath, still did not forget the purpose of his visit this time.

"I know, I know, don't talk yet. When the stretcher comes, I'll go down with you!" Diao Fei held back the sadness in his heart. said in a trembling tone.

"Hygienist, where do I want a hygienist?" the roaring tone was full of eagerness, as well as a hint of despair and regret.

"Commander, the hygienist died just now! This is the medicine box he left behind!" At this moment, the guard soldier, whose military uniform had become a little tattered, bent over and trotted over with a medical kit that had been stained red with blood and a broken strap.

Because the Huo Jiajun was established for too short a time, although it has been vigorously cultivated, there are few people who know battlefield first aid and Western medicine and surgery, sometimes only the division headquarters has doctors and field hospitals, and the guard regiment can only be special, but there is also a hygienist.

"Quickly bandage Master Meng's wound!" Seeing the medicine box, hope rose in Diao Fei's heart again, and he didn't care if the person was a doctor at the moment, so he hurriedly ordered.

After finishing speaking, Diao Fei carefully picked up Meng Changgui and exposed his back, but after the surrounding Huo family soldiers saw his injuries clearly, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

I saw that Meng Changgui's originally intact back had been completely destroyed by the bomb at this moment, and the flesh and blood were rolled, and even the white bones and internal organs below could be seen, and the blood that flowed out had already soaked one of Diao Fei's arms and half of his body.

"Commander, this ......!" The soldier with the medicine box in his hand couldn't help but hesitate, although he knew some simple wound bandaging and battlefield first aid, but he couldn't do anything about this kind of injury that was almost certain to die.

"Si, Commander, no, don't bother!" Meng Changgui said in a trembling tone.

Although he couldn't see his injuries, Meng Changgui could feel that his energy was gradually declining, and he knew that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide this time.

As he spoke, Meng Changgui raised his right hand and took out an envelope that had been stained red with blood and a beautiful pocket watch from the pocket of his shirt and military uniform, and put them in Diao Fei's left hand, which he hurriedly stretched out.

"Commander, I wrote this letter to Xiaoyun, please help me forward it to her. Tell her, she is still young, there is no need to be widowed for me, let him give the two children to my parents, and then find a good family to marry!"

Hearing this, Diao Fei gritted his teeth tightly, the muscles of his whole body trembled, trying not to let himself cry, and said with red eyes: "Don't worry! I promise to relay this letter to you and what you said!"

After listening to his words, Meng Changgui couldn't help but smile slightly, and then pointed to the exquisite pocket watch that Diao Fei grabbed in his hand and said: "This pocket watch was seized when I was fighting Memphis, and it was originally intended as a congratulatory gift to give it to the young master when he got married, but it seems that there is no chance this time." ”

"Old Meng, don't say it, you'll be fine! The young master still wants to watch you personally hand over this watch to him!" Diao Fei said with red eyes and a choked tone.

At this time, the Huo family soldiers who saw this scene couldn't help but sobbed quietly, and at this time, more and more Huo family soldiers began to surround them.

"Commander, we will definitely be able to win this war, right?" Finally, Meng Changgui asked with a weak voice.

"If we win, we will win!"

"Then I'll rest assured!" After a pause, Meng Changgui turned his head to look at the blue sky and said softly: "It's a pity that I can't continue to fight with the young master......!"

"Ah......h

And against this background is the fire that broke out on the front line of the Huo family's army. I don't know when, the U.S. Army had already stopped attacking, and was still frantically trying to run outside, dodging the billowing flames from behind.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Howard Hughes, deputy commander of the U.S. Northern Theater of Operations, was standing in the operations command room, holding up his binoculars and staring at the 96 huge airships arranged in horizontal lines in the sky in the distance.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to these airships, although high-altitude bombing is still one of the methods that the US Army still has no solution.

But the accuracy of the airship bomb is too poor, and the number of Chinese airships is limited, and the bomb load is not too large. It is difficult to become a decisive strategic force that will determine the outcome of a superwar with nearly a million participants.

However, his idea completely changed after these huge Chinese airships began to drop huge bombs one after another.

Just now he saw with his own eyes in the telescope that these big bombs, like gasoline barrels, with two slightly pointed ends, exploded more than 200 meters in the air, sprinkled a large number of fire points downward, and then quickly ignited more than 2,500 square meters below.

What surprised Howard Hughes even more was that these pale blue flames could not be extinguished at all. He even saw an American soldier whose whole body was originally only his shoulder on fire, running down from the mountains and forests, rolling on the ground, even after jumping into the water at the end, he still could not escape the end of being burned to ashes!

Of course, the most terrifying thing is not these, this time the main direction of attack of the American troops is a little south of the hilly area, and there is a large number of dead branches and trees here, just after the cold winter, the air here is very dry, so the mountains and forests in the entire hilly area are like a pile of dry firewood, almost one point.

Therefore, with the large number of incendiary bombs dropped by the Chinese airships, almost the entire jungle was set on fire. The rapid flames enveloped most of the main forces that the Americans had thrown into the attack at once.

Although he was several kilometers away, Howard Hughes seemed to hear the wails of his soldiers as they were burned alive. It was like a sound from the depths of hell, and it was so miserable.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over!" said a dejected Howard Hughes, trembling, stepping back from the observation window, stumbling and stumbling before slamming to the ground.

However, at this time, none of the staff officers of the headquarters of the US Northern Front Corps standing on the side came to help him, because almost all of them were stunned by the fire that rose into the sky in the distance.

They knew that under that kind of fire, there was also that kind of terrifying flame that emitted blue light, and most of the main forces of the US Army that went on the offensive would probably not survive.
