Fortified the headquarters of the 1st Regiment.

"Report to the regimental commander, the firepower of these British troops is too fierce, and even the Seventh Regiment can't quickly break through the gap, let alone our troops."

A staff officer sighed and said helplessly.

The regiment commander stared at the map in front of him and said with a serious face, "The Seventh Regiment just went out from our troops, but we can't use them to death."

"The British defense is so tenacious, and if we continue to fight like this, it will be difficult for us to take the Mudongli position in a short period of time."

A staff officer next to him said, "The main reason is that the British army is too heavy in firepower and occupies favorable terrain, which makes our attack very passive."

"It will not be easy to defeat this British army, unless it is through a long assault that consumes their forces and makes them completely demoralized."

"In other words, when the main forces of our army arrive, the enemy will retreat on all fronts, so that they will lose their backers and will inevitably collapse on all fronts."

"But the current situation is that the main force of our army is still some distance away from this side, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach this side in a short time."

"And the enemy did not retreat directly this time, but began to mobilize troops for support, and now there are more and more troops in Mudong."

"The pressure on the main force of the third battalion in charge of reinforcements is increasing, and Tan Ziwei has sent me several telegrams asking for help."

"And according to the confessions of the prisoners we have captured, the reinforcements are not only the 29th Brigade of the British Army, but also the 25th Brigade of the Canadian Army."

"In short, the enemy in the vicinity is still very strong, and our forces are limited."

"If you want to resist the enemy's reinforcements, pull out your teeth, and take this Mu Cave, there is a certain difficulty."

The regimental commander's brow furrowed even deeper, if that was the case, he would have to change his strategy.

After all, they do not have many troops, and their firepower is insufficient, so they do not have an advantage in any aspect.

The regiment commander said helplessly: "In this case, we can only stop the siege for the time being, but continue to form a siege posture against them to prevent them from breaking through."

"We can't just give up on this mouthful of fat."

"Delay for a while, just wait until the main force arrives, and everything will be easy."

"When the main force arrives and the enemy is defeated, the enemy will inevitably break through with a battalion of the encircled enemy, and as long as we hold the strategic points and tighten our pockets, they will not be able to escape."

"When the time comes, they break through and we will block and defend, then their advantage will be gone, and it will not be a problem to annihilate this battalion of enemy troops at that time."

"Order, stop the assault, the attacking forces only maintain a small local attack, put pressure on them."

"In addition, I asked for help from the Seventh Regiment, hoping that Qianli and the third battalion could work together to block the enemy's reinforcements."

"Order the 1st and 2nd Battalions to draw one company each, ready to fight to hold back enemy reinforcements."

"Yes!"

The staff officer hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

In desperation, the regiment commander could only change his strategy and began to mobilize more troops to devote himself to the blocking battle, firstly, to prevent them from rescuing the besieged Gloucester battalion.

Second, you can also use blocking warfare to consume the enemy's vital forces and destroy as many enemy troops as possible.

Soon, the telegram of the first regiment reached the seventh regiment.

After Wu Qianli received the telegram, he immediately withdrew with his troops, and they had also participated in the attack before, but the battle did not go well.

After receiving the order, he retreated without hesitation.

Yu Congrong didn't understand the situation, and after retreating, he found Wu Qianli and asked, "Regiment Commander, why did you retreat suddenly, do you want to give up?"

"Grandma's, I've been stumbling with my comrades for so long, I'm really unwilling!"

The battle was not going well, and the enemy's support forces were getting closer.

Yu Congrong guessed whether the regiment commander was worried about being surrounded by the enemy, or being defeated by the enemy's internal and external attacks, so he gave up this encirclement and annihilation

I can't help but be a little anxious.

Wu Qianli explained, "The enemy has more and more reinforcements, and it is time to change the strategy."

"We are now going to support Tanzi for them, responsible for blocking the enemy's reinforcements."

Mei Sheng on the side heard this, pondered for a moment, probably guessed what Wu Qianli meant, and said, "Giving up a frontal attack and turning to a siege point to send reinforcements may be the best solution at present."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "The British army occupies a favorable terrain and has a certain advantage in defense, our troops are limited, and if we continue to attack, we will not be able to take much advantage, and it is not easy to destroy this enemy."

"Now mobilize more troops to send reinforcements, as long as they block their reinforcements, this enemy will not be able to escape, and when the main force arrives, the main force of the enemy may be routed by us."

"When the time comes, they see that there is no hope of breaking through, maybe they don't need us to fight, and they will have to surrender obediently."

"Hey~!"

Wu Wanli said with a smile, "Brother, it seems that you are getting more and more aware of these foreign devils."

"If they can't win the battle, they won't really fight hard, at least there are very few troops like that, and it is also their routine operation to surrender obediently to save their lives."

At this time, Pinghe ran over and said, "Regiment commander, all the troops have been withdrawn, and the wounded have been settled."

"Comrades who can still fight have been assembled and are ready for battle."

"Good!"

Wu Qianli nodded, and then shouted loudly, "Wanli."

"Here!"

Wu Wanli ran over and looked at Wu Qianli excitedly.

This kid is getting more and more energetic, and it seems that he is also a natural warrior.

Wu Qianli is now more and more satisfied with this younger brother.

"Wu Wanli, you go to the third battalion first, find the battalion commander, and say that we will arrive soon as the seventh regiment."

"Be careful on the road, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Wu Wanli hurriedly responded, turned around and ran away.

Wu Qianli waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Then the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment followed Wu Qianli and quickly rushed towards the direction of the third battalion's blocking position.

At this moment, the enemy is frantically attacking our blocking position.

Major General Brody did not run directly this time, because he ran too fast before and was scolded.

Of course, this is not the main reason, mainly because, they also reconnoitred clearly, the main force of the nearby volunteer army is not much, and only a few thousand people have died.

And he has a brigade in his hands, and a 25 brigade of the Canadian army to assist them in the battle, and they have an absolute advantage in every aspect.

And the Gloucester battalion is surrounded, it is impossible for him to really leave this battalion, leave this more than a thousand people, and run away with the main force!

So no matter what, they had to get Gloucester out.

Therefore, Major General Brody ordered the troops to counterattack with all their might, and to rescue the Gloucester battalion from the encirclement.

Under the enemy's frantic counterattack, the pressure on the three battalions that served as blocking the enemy's reinforcements doubled.

The three battalions were seriously underarmed, but fortunately they occupied favorable terrain and could barely resist the enemy's attack.

On the blocking position of the third battalion, Tan Ziwei set up a light machine gun and aimed at the enemy who rushed up, and kept strafing.

"Da Da Da~!"

Dense gunfire rang out, and bullets rained down on the enemy.

The enemy rushed up, and people were constantly shot and fell to the ground.

While attacking, the enemy continued to open fire, and the enemy mortars and tanks in the distance also continued to suppress our positions, and the battle was very fierce.

A shuttle of bullets quickly ran out, and Tan Ziwei shrank into the trench with the gun, and while changing the magazine, he shouted loudly: "Comrades, hold it off for me!"

"Beat me to death!"

The enemy fire was fierce, and the casualties of the troops were increasing, but the casualties of the attacking enemy were even greater.

The battlefield was already covered with the corpses of the enemies, who had also received death orders to rescue the trapped Gloucester battalion.

At this moment, Wu Wanli ran to Tan Ziwei's side.

Tan Zi was slightly stunned for a moment in order to know Wu Wanli, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Wu Wanli replied, "We have just come to the support of the Seventh Regiment, and my brother is behind with the troops!"

"My brother told me to come to you first."

Wu Wanli said as he excitedly sneaked a look at the enemy rushing up below.

After seeing the right time, the kid picked up a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it directly.

The grenade landed accurately on several enemies.

"Boom~!"

With an explosion, the enemies were immediately blown to the ground.

Tan Ziwei pondered a little, and probably guessed something.

Tan Ziwei sighed helplessly and said, "Damn, these *** foreign devils are really hard to deal with."

"You're here just in time, there's too much pressure on our side."

"I hope that the Seventh Regiment will quickly go to support the position on the left, otherwise the comrades on the position may not be able to withstand it."

Tan Ziwei stretched out his hand and pointed to a mountain not far away, which was also under fire at the moment, and the battle was very fierce.

"It's the hill over there! Boy, see clearly!"

Wu Wanli turned his head to look at it, then nodded and said, "I know!"

"Go! Be careful when you go down."

"Yes!"

Wu Wanli hurriedly responded, and then ran along the trench towards the back.

At this time, from time to time, a shell fell, and a shell landed nearby, blowing up a cloud of dust.

Wu Wanli, who was covered in dust, was like a kid out of the soil at this moment.

However, Wu Wanli did not stop at all, and while shaking off the dust on his body, he continued to run forward, and passed through the enemy's fire blockade line without danger and went down the mountain.

At this time, Wu Qianli had already brought the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment to the bottom of the mountain.

Wu Qianli hurriedly asked, "How is the situation on the mountain?"

Wu Wanli replied, "The enemy's offensive is very fierce, and the battalion commander wants us to go to the left position to support, which is the hill in front."

Wu Wanli said as he raised his hand and pointed to a mountain a few hundred meters in front of him.

Wu Qianli glanced at it, and then ordered loudly: "Just seven regiments, follow me!"

The fighters followed behind Wu Qianli and rushed to the position on the left side together.

At this moment, the battle on the hill on the left is even more intense.

In the beginning, this was not the focus of the enemy's attack, so Tan Ziwei only deployed a small number of troops here.

But as the enemy continued to increase, the enemy who had been blocked in the attack also began to go crazy, and found that the blocking fire here was relatively weak.

So the enemy sent more troops and began to storm the hill on the left.

The defenders suffered heavy casualties, and gradually they could no longer hold on.

And Tan Ziwei also received the news that the left position was urgent, but at this moment, his troops had all been put into battle, and there were no extra troops to support the left position, so they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

Therefore, just when the 7th Regiment arrived, Tan Ziwei asked them to urgently support the left position.

Wu Qianli also saw from a distance that the battle here was tight, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so he rushed over directly with the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment.

One by one, the warriors riveted their feet and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Because they also know that if they arrive a second earlier, they can solve the danger a second earlier, and once this side of the position is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wu Qianli took the lead and rushed into the position first, along one place

The trench quickly came to a forward position.

Looking at the remains of his comrades lying in the trenches, Wu Qianli couldn't care about his sadness, lying in the trenches, raised his submachine gun, and aimed at the enemy who rushed up.

"Comrades~! We've just come to your aid!"

"Just seven regiments, give Lao Tzu a hard beating, and beat these dog things down for me!"

"Da Da Da~!"

As he spoke, the submachine gun in his hand spewed out a series of fiery tongues of fire.

A dense stream of bullets flew swiftly towards the enemy down the hill.

"Puff~!"

The bullet struck the enemy with a muffled thud and a splattered mist of blood.

The terrible screams continued to sound, and the enemies who rushed up were instantly swept away.

At this time, Wu Wanli also ran to the position together, and the kid put the gun aside, picked up the grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it directly.

The grenade snorted black smoke and landed accurately in the crowd of enemies.

"Boom~!"

Violent explosions rang out, and several enemies were knocked to the ground, either killed or wounded.

At this time, a soldier rushed over with a box of grenades and put them in the trench next to Wu Wanli, shouting: "God pitcher, these are for you, greet these *** fiercely."

Wu Wanli's eyes lit up with excitement, grabbed the grenades, and threw them out one after another.

The name of the god pitcher was not called in vain, and one grenade after another fell accurately into the crowd of enemies, and with a violent explosion, the enemy was blown up on his back.

Wu Wanli is simply a small humanoid steel cannon at the moment, grenades one after another, and every time it can accurately fall at the feet of the enemy, the enemy cries and shouts for his mother.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment rushed to the position one after another, and all kinds of weapons were aimed at the enemy who rushed up, and they greeted together.

Originally, the enemy thought that he would be able to rush to the top of the mountain soon, and his morale was high, and he rushed up desperately one by one, but he was hit head-on, and he suffered heavy casualties for a while.

These enemies are not stupid, seeing that the fire on the mountain is getting fiercer and the casualties are getting heavier, the enemy also realizes that the reinforcements of the Volunteer Army have arrived.

The attacking enemy knew that they would not be able to capture the mountain this time, and their morale collapsed instantly, and they rushed down the mountain one by one.

In the panic, and the sky was too dark, many enemies were tripped and rolled down the hillside, and the scene was chaotic.
