The last log fortress was the largest, the most garrisoned, and the most firepowered.

Three 6-pounder light cannons fired non-stop, and by now, the soldiers stationed inside were no longer fighting to complete the mission, but simply to survive.

After a salvo of shotguns at close range, dozens more grenadiers lay in a pool of blood, each step of which cost a heavy price.

When Alexandra led the people to rush closer, she found that all the grenades had been used up, so she could only rush in hand-to-hand combat.

After capturing the trenches on the flanks, you can go directly to the inside of the log bunker.

The cramped and dimly lit bunker was densely packed with people,

Inside were entire infantry companies and artillery squads of the rebels, and when they saw someone rushing in, these people immediately realized that the last moment had come.

Each of them knew that they had caused a large number of casualties on the attacking side, and that they could never be forgiven.

Since he can't be a prisoner of war, he can only fight to the death.

Both sides shouted "Long live the Emperor!" "Long live the Regent!" and other slogans to motivate themselves.

Unable to deploy rifle bayonets and long swords in a confined space, the two sides shoot each other with pistols, followed by daggers, daggers, fists and even teeth in a bloody and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of crazy scene should not have happened on the battlefield of civilization in the 18th century, but rather like the scene of primitive tribes fighting in cave paintings.

People crowded with people, the smell of sweat, the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the smell of blood were mixed together, and every breath became difficult.

Alexandra regained the feeling of charging on the rugby field, and she went on a rampage like a wild boar, and several rebel soldiers pounced on her at the same time.

By the time this crazy hand-to-hand combat is over, there is no place to settle on the ground,

With great difficulty, Karl squeezed in, finding his old friend among the mass of corpses and wailing wounded,

Alexandra was half-crouching, like a bull ploughing the field, snorting and panting,

She still had a piece of flesh torn from her enemy's face in her mouth, and her blue eyes were bloodshot, as if she was still looking for her next opponent.

"Don't look for it, it's all killed!" Carl jumped up and hugged her: "That's it! Ugly girl! The enemy's eleven lines of defense have all been flattened, which is really amazing! You might just get a Rose Cross! ”

As the large army followed up one after another, military doctors and nurses also came to the front line to check on the wounded, and the sappers quickly set up several white medical tents on the spot to serve as temporary operating rooms and wards.

Karl shouted: "The high ground is already in the pocket of our army, you quickly retreat and rest for a while!" ”

Alexandra looked down at him with a wry smile:

"Nasty dwarf, your spit stained my uniform, and...... Stop shouting, I can hear it, it seems that my ears are still saved. ”

A quarter of an hour later, William Einfurt joined the main forces and strikers of the Twelfth Division.

The young division commander was covered in blood and his arm was wrapped in bandages, and he had just picked up a life from the Shura Hell.

The rebels' counter-attack tactics failed, and without the arch guards of the forward positions, the rebel artillery on the high ground was in no danger to defend, and soon raised the white flag.

"I'm going to slaughter these dog mongrel artillerymen! These howitzers on the heights have killed many of my friends! ”

Alexandra apparently did not want to leave any prisoners behind, and she wanted to avenge her subordinates, but was severely reprimanded by William:

"Calm down! Miss Charyanova, I know you have lost many of your comrades, and I am not the same!

Your Majesty has repeatedly told us to act in accordance with the international laws of war as much as possible, have you forgotten all this?

If we refuse to accept prisoners in every battle, we will be given the impression of bloodthirsty and brutal, and the enemy we encounter will fight to the death and inflict even greater casualties! ”

Alexandra knew that she was wrong, so she had to bow her head and admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted, and I ask the division commander to punish me." ”

William Einfurt stared at his friend with a pair of pale blue eyes, the nomadic grenadier battalion commander was definitely one of the top warriors in the middle platoon of the Valstad army.

There were countless gunshot wounds and knife wounds on her body, and the blood flowing from Bo Bo poured into her boots, and she was still fighting high after being hit so hard, it seemed that she would be fine with a whole day.

Where did he have the heart to blame such a heroic figure? William sighed and said:

"Forget it, I won't tell the military court about this, you are seriously injured, go to the medical officer to bandage it."

"I beg your pardon for being unable to obey my fate...... The battle is not over, and I will not disgrace the steppe people! ”

"Don't hold on, you'll get infected!" Karl tried to forcibly drag her to the stretcher, but was interrupted by shouting:

Staff Officer Philip wounded one arm and shouted with one hand holding up the binoculars:

"Battalion commander, our friendly forces are fighting bloody battles on the left and right flanks! They are in dire need of fire support! ”

William squatted down to help the nurses bandage the wounded and said, "Don't worry, everything is arranged, Karl's light infantry battalion has gone to support the left flank, and the sniper company and the churser company have gone to support the right flank,

Captain Dunnedal's mule-horse artillery was setting up positions at the top of the high ground, waiting for the ballistics to be measured so that they could cover the nearby battlefield with 8-pounder cannons and 12-pounder howitzers. ”

The battle went as William expected, and everything went smoothly.

Thanks to his father's scientific research,

Light infantry and snipers, armed with new rifled rifles, had an advantage in firepower, and the rebels were pinned down by their positions and unable to raise their heads, allowing friendly forces to advance smoothly.

Under the guidance of ballistic observers, cannon shells penetrated the enemy's dense infantry columns, causing heavy casualties.

New 12-pound lime and shrapnel exploded in the air, constantly squeezing the enemy's living space.

Friendly forces on the left and right flanks launched a powerful offensive, and one stronghold after another was pulled out, and the entire line of the rebels was already crumbling, and the goddess of victory was beckoning to them.

Suddenly, a hussar on patrol duty issued a warning:

"Oh no! Many enemy cavalry lay in ambush in the cornfields on the east side of the heights! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hussar was hit by a bullet flying from nowhere, and rolled off his horse.

"Someone is shooting in a cornfield!"

"It's broken! Hit the trick! There is an ambush! William hurriedly gave the order: "All the troops form a phalanx!" Get ready for a cavalry charge! ”

There was a shaking of the cornfield on the gentle slope on the eastern side of the heights, and hundreds of recuperated rebel cavalry poured out of it.

Under the banner of voodoo, they blew military trumpets with an astonishing momentum, and rushed towards the exhausted 12th Mountain Division.
