Chapter 31: Captain Somme is furious

When sporadic gunfire rang out on the North 21st Heights, it didn't even alarm Thomson, the brigade commander, at first.

Commander Somme sent a sergeant with a platoon and rushed over, which did not affect Commander Somme in the slightest from sitting on the rocks and waiting for a steaming cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, when his coffee was about to be cooked, the platoon he sent was beaten back, and the platoon commander was killed!

Commander Somme was furious and sent a company up again!

This road has been trodden by the former army, and there can be no large-scale Indian army. If even this little trouble can't be solved, Commander Som really feels shameless.

I didn't want to drink the brewed coffee anymore, so I kept my eyes open and stared at the high ground ahead - I had to take it down, and I had to do it quickly!

"Captain, would you like to report back to Mr. Thomson?" The staff asked.

This made Commander Somme furious again, "Do you think I'll be blocked by such a big place?"

But having said that, the company he sent was so crushed that he couldn't lift his head halfway up the mountain.

After almost half an hour, I still couldn't reach the top of the mountain!

One of Colonel Thomson's staff in the rear sent someone to ask why the team had come to a complete halt. Governor Fremont's order was to let the team slow down, but definitely not to stop!

Commander Somme had no choice but to hold back his anger and reassure the staff officer, "Don't worry! Rest for another ten minutes, and the team will be ready to go in no time!"

The staff officer glanced at the small hill in front of him, and felt that it should not be a big problem, so he nodded to Commander Somme and went back to his life.

After another 10 minutes, that company finally attacked the top of the mountain!

But before Commander Somme could rejoice, he saw that the company had been beaten back!

After a while, the company came to Somme's commander with a swollen face and asked for artillery support.

Commander Somme's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back, and slapped an ear scraper on the company commander's face.

"Wallace, you pig-like thing! You're embarrassing me in public, you know!"

Commander Somme pointed to the rear, "Colonel Thomson must be saying to our governor at this point: 'Look, that Somme can't even hit a hill!'" , you even have the face to ask me to give you artillery support? Is there a cannon on the other side? Lao Tzu will give you another chance, if you make Lao Tzu unhappy today, Lao Tzu will make you unhappy for the rest of your life! Get out!"

After being slapped in the face, Hua Laishi led his group of retreating soldiers to attack the hill again.

"Little bunnies, if you can't take this mountain today, I'll kick your ass! Rush forward, don't be afraid!" Wallace turned and yelled at his soldiers.

……

The battle on the mountain was fierce, and the American soldiers below the mountain were nervous at first, but as time went on, they all relaxed again.

Wallace rushed up with his soldiers, and was driven down again, rushed up, and was driven down again......

"Haha!" The soldiers at the foot of the hill were spectators for a while, and they all laughed up the hill.

….

"Wallace, you're such an idiot!"

"Did the Indians on the hill have wizards? You've got to fight the wizard first!"

"You've disgraced my Thomson Brigade!"

Before you know it, this small battle has lasted for more than half an hour.

Even Brigadier Thomson rushed over and asked Commander Som what was going on?

……

"Colonel Thomson, there's an Indian army blocking our path!" Captain Somme said, pointing to the hill.

"Why can't you take it for so long?"

"The road up the mountain is very narrow, the slope is steep, and there are many caves on the mountain, and those Indians are hiding in the caves, causing us a lot of trouble!"

"You've been delaying too long, Captain Somme!"

"Yes, I know, Mr. Colonel! If you can give me artillery support, I promise, the battle will be over in half an hour!" Head Som said.

"Artillery?" Thomson looked at him strangely, "When did we need artillery when we fought so little Indians?"

Captain Somme's face turned blue and white for a while, but finally he mustered up his courage and said, "That Indian army on the mountain must be the elite of White Rock City!" Actually, I've changed companies three times!"

Thomson looked at Commander Somme in surprise and asked, "How much damage?"

"Ugh...... Twenty-six were killed and 57 wounded......

Thomson looked at Commander Somme in disbelief. Finally, he frowned and said, "The Governor is behind, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"No, Mr. Colonel, listen to meβ€”"

"I don't need to explain, I need to move on, Captain Somme!" Thomson stuck out his index finger and tapped it at Commander Somme's chest, tapping him back and forth.

"Yes!" Captain Somme blushed and said, "We're going to keep going, I promise!"

"You can do it! You'd better pray, and I hope our Governor will be in a better mood!" Thomson said.

After Colonel Thomson left, Commander Somme decided to send another company up the hill.

At the same time, let most of the rest of his men and horses go around the hill and continue to move forward.

……

On the top of Xiongya Mountain, there is a vast white expanse of ice and snow.

The waterwheel got stuck in a puddle of snow and was half submerged in the snow.

He struggled several times, but still couldn't get out.

After a while, soldiers passing by found him and threw a rope at him, which dragged him out.

It should have snowed heavily yesterday, so the snow was soft. However, there are not many such snow pits, more of hard glaciers.

"On the top of this mountain, I'm afraid it's the first time I've come, right?" The watermill asked, gasping for breath.

"Yes, I guess! Captain, have you ever seen a glacier this big before?" The soldier asked.

"I haven't seen it!" The watermill replied.

"I've seen it!" The soldier said proudly, "To the south there is a Peak of Lons, much higher than this mountain. My house is at the foot of that mountain!"

"You're an Apache?"

"Yes," replied the soldier, "but my tribe is long gone, and now I am an Indian!"

"Hehe, me too!" The watermill replied.

The two supported each other, and met many people one after another along the way, they greeted each other and encouraged each other.

"Come on, man! Down the hill is Livingston!"

"Hey, if this battle can drive all the whites out, I'd rather walk ten more times on this mountaintop!"

"Brothers, don't patronize the road, take a look more, look more, these are the great rivers and mountains of our motherland!"

More than once the watermill heard his soldiers mention the words 'Motherland, and every time he felt that he was about to run out, these two words would burn in the bottom of his heart, and give off a strong heat, making him feel that he could go far, far away!
