The 1st British Division, located on the left flank of Mount Kurgan, saw the flag of the Royal British Army raised on the frontal fort of Mount Kurgan, and immediately made up its mind to conquer the damned trench in front of them in the shortest possible time.

"Pass my orders! The whole regiment of the Scottish Musketeers pressed in! It doesn't matter what the price is, I just want to win! "The commander of the 1st Division on horseback George . Sir Brown ordered his lieutenants to rush to the Scottish Musketeers Regiment to convey his order to the commander of the regiment, who did not want to be the last army to reach the top of the mountain.

"Yes!" The adjutant saluted his commander with a solemn face, and then rode to the commander of the Scottish musketeers in charge of the attack, and conveyed to the commander that George was in charge of the attack. Sir Brown's orders.

The commander of the Scottish Musketeer Regiment, who received the order, looked at the adjutant in front of him in disbelief, and no one understood better than their regiment how tenacious the group of Russian soldiers on the mountainside was.

In just over three hours, nearly one-fifth of the soldiers in the regiment had already hung up their lotteries, and now the division commander did not let their regiment return to rest and recuperate, and even let them attack regardless of casualties. Isn't this a bit of a point about not treating soldiers as human beings?

"Are you sure this is an order from the division commander?" The commander of the Scottish Musketeers asked the adjutant in front of him again, and he wanted to hear a different answer from the adjutant than he had just heard.

Unfortunately, the adjutant's answer was still exactly the same as the first time.

"I know it's not easy for you either! Now that the division commander's order has been issued, please carry out the order immediately! The adjutant said to the regimental commander.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of the regiment commander's mouth, he knew that after this battle, his regiment might face the risk of completely losing its combat effectiveness.

As the adjutant said, even if the regimental commander already knew the fate he was going to face, he could not back down because of the obedience between the army and the honorary title of the Scottish Musketeers.

The commander of the musket regiment took a deep breath, and after trying to calm down the mood of wanting to scold the street, he solemnly said to the adjutant in front of him: "Please tell the division commander that the Scottish Musket Regiment will fight to the last man for honor!" We will definitely not back down until the enemy is completely destroyed! ”

"I'll tell the division commander what you said in its original form!" The adjutant also looked at the commander of the musket regiment in front of him with a grim look on his face, and replied.

After the adjutant had left, the commander of the musket regiment gathered several of his battalion commanders together and conveyed to them the orders of the division commander.

"What are we!" One of the battalion commanders said indignantly, "Are they just sitting back and enjoying their success?" We've paid too many brothers for this damn trench! ”

"It's an order! No room for bargaining is allowed! The regiment commander responded to the battalion commander word by word, and then looked around and said, "We are soldiers!" We must resolutely carry out orders, even the most dangerous ones! For the sake of Britain's honor, we must fight to the last soldier! As the Commander, I can assure you that I will stand with you. ”

Then the captain of the musket corps shouted: "For Britain!" ”

His battalion commander also followed the regiment commander and shouted, "For Britain!" ”

After a brief mobilization, the commander of the musketeer regiment and his men marched steadily in a dense formation in a company formation to the trench on the left side of the Kurgan Mountains, and the faces of almost every musketeer soldier showed numbness, and the military band played the movement of the march at this moment.

When the Scottish Musketeers reached the vicinity of the trench, the Russian Imperial Army on the trench once again attacked the Scottish Musketeers.

Curiously, this time the Scottish musketeers did not suffer from the artillery attack, and the firepower of the Russian troops in the trenches was much weaker than before.

This change not only made the Scottish musketeers confused, but also strengthened the confidence of the Scottish musketeers.

Scottish musketeers armed with Lee Enfield 1853 rifles fired at the Imperial Russian troops in the trenches, which fell one after another under the powerful fire of rifles.

The casualties imagined by the commander of the Scottish Musketeers did not materialize, and when the vanguard approached the trench, the Russian troops in the trench and by the parapet began to retreat.

Without cover, the gap between the Russian Imperial Army and the Scottish musketeers was further widened, and many Russian soldiers were knocked out by the Scottish musketeers.

When the first company of musketeers arrived at the trench, they were shocked by the sight of the Musketeers, who were already lying in the trench with soldiers of the Russian Empire, who were already lying in the trenches, screaming in pain and crying for help, as if hell had descended on earth.

After listening to the description of the company commander, the regiment commander followed the company commander to the trench, looking at the enemy lying on the ground in front of him, the regiment commander sighed and shouted at the Slavic cattle lying on the ground in Russian: "The follow-up medical unit is coming soon!" It won't be long before you are saved! ”

Subsequently, the commander of the Scottish musketeers found a Russian officer who was not too badly wounded (his right hand and left leg were broken by Lee Enfield) and asked him about the whereabouts of the Russian Imperial Army.

"What you're seeing now is all of our members!" The Russian officer, leaning against the wall made of loess, responded indifferently to the commander of the Scottish Musketeer Corps.

"Impossible! The last time you attacked, you still had plenty of troops to counterattack us! The regiment commander said to the Russian officer with a look of disbelief.

"Those are Peter. The squad led by Prince Gorchakov! Wherever they are needed, they go for reinforcements! After our crisis is over, they won't be here anymore! The Russian officer gritted his teeth and replied to the regiment commander.

"Then you're not ...... now," the head of the regiment suddenly thought of something.

"To put it bluntly! Now we are just outcasts! The Russian officer said to himself with a dejected expression on his face: "A useless outcast! ”

I don't know why, when the Russian officer said the word "abandoned son", the commander of the musket regiment actually felt some empathy.

As a musketeer regiment, they are not the "outcasts" of Commander Brown.

"Friends, be happy! You and your men have held us back for a long time, and you have done your job brilliantly! The regimental commander couldn't help but encourage the enemy.

"Really?" There was a glint on the face of the Russian officer, who longed for recognition.

"Of course......," the head of the regiment nodded affirmatively.

"That's great!" The Russian officer smiled slightly, then fainted by the wall.

……

"Yay! I knew they could! "George. Sir Brown smiled at the good news from the Musketeers, and said to himself.

"That...... Divisional commander, I think! The adjutant said again and again.

"What do you think?" Spirited high-pitched George. Sir Brown asked the adjutant.

The adjutant swallowed and gritted his teeth at George. Brown said at that time: "Division commander, I think you should apologize to the Scottish Musketeers!" ”

"Apologize?" George. Sir Brown was stunned for a few seconds, and then subconsciously responded: "Why should I apologize!" ”

"You know that the Scottish musketeers have already suffered heavy casualties, and you want them to continue the attack! Isn't this sending them to death? The adjutant indignantly accused George. Brown Road.

George. Brown gradually put away his smile, and his expression became extremely serious: "Then what should I do?" Remove the Scottish Musketeers and replace them with another regiment, who will fill this gap? If the follow-up troops won easily, then there would be no complaints from the musket regiments. ”

The adjutant was speechless and analyzed George from a rational point of view. Brown wasn't wrong in any way, but from an emotional point of view, George. Brown's order is just too impersonal!

"This is the battlefield! It's not a place to socialize, and there's no room for any emotional thinking!" George. Sir Brown harshly criticized: "I must be responsible for the honor of the whole division!" If my mistake had wiped out their regiment, I wouldn't have to say anything I would have to do with it! ”

"I ......" the adjutant wanted to say something, but found that George. Brown had already moved in the direction of the Scottish Musketeers on horseback, and the adjutant subconsciously asked the division commander, "Where are you going?" ”

George. Brown stopped the horse and turned to the adjutant behind him in response, "Do you need to talk about that?" Of course, at your request, I apologize to all the Scottish Musketeers! ”

"Didn't you just say ......?"

"I said the victor will not suffer any responsibility! Now that the Musketeers have won for me, I will not hesitate to meet their conditions if they need me to apologize! "George. Brown replied with a wordy answer.

George. Brown and the adjutant walked half a horse behind each other towards the trench occupied by the Scottish Musketeers, and just as the two were about to reach the trench, Adjutant Kingscott appeared in front of them and conveyed to them the order of Commander Raglan!

"All the members of the 1st Division rushed to the top of Mount Kurgan! No one is allowed to stay for any reason! Adjutant Kingscote said in a stern tone.

"Yes!" The division commander responded to Adjutant Kingscot.

After Adjutant Kingscot left, George Brown. Brown opened his mouth and said to the lieutenant beside him, "What did I just say! ”

"I'll notify right away!" The adjutant, on horseback, conveyed the instructions of Commander Raglan to all the units of the 1st Division.

All members, including the Scottish Musketeers, followed Commander Raglan's orders to the summit of Mount Kurgan, and strangely enough, on the way to the summit, the 1st Division no longer saw hordes of Russian Imperial soldiers, only sporadic routs wandering back and forth around Mount Kurgan like headless flies.

George at the top of the mountain. Brown and his lieutenant saw Commander Raglan on the top of the hill, who seemed to have been on the top of the hill for some time, and beside Commander Raglan were the commander of the Highland Brigade, Sir Cambenin, and the Duke of Cambridge's lantern.

"Your Excellency, what about the soldiers of the Russian Empire? Why didn't I see it all the way? "George. Brown approached Commander Raglan and asked Commander Raglan.

"Look there!" Commander Raglan pointed in the distance, and the division commander looked in the direction of Commander Raglan's finger, less than 3 kilometers from the Kurgan Mountains, a mighty army was moving south.
