Chapter 20: Eight Days of Hardship (4)

The troops coming to the aid were the third company of the Third Battalion. When they came to the aid, they had been served by the Hunan Army's artillery, and suffered considerable casualties.

But their courage was not diminished. When they saw that the brothers in the same camp were all lying in pools of blood, they were filled with sadness and anger. Without ordering, the entire company concentrated its firepower and shot towards the Hunan Army with a roulette.

The Hunan Army was quite injured in the platoon. It was not over yet. The Hubei Army jumped over the corpses, threw grenades at the Hunan Army that had not yet reacted, and then rushed directly into the formation of the Hunan Army.

The Hunan Army is flexible and fast, but hand-to-hand combat is not the opponent of the Hubei Army. The Hubei Army does not speak a word, his eyes are red, and occasionally makes a scream, fighting to the death with the Hunan Army.

Although the number of Hunan troops was several times that of Hubei troops, the Hubei troops were able to kill them. Blood splashed in the formations of both sides. The Hunan Army battalion could not resist and retreated one after another.

But the Third Company had just repelled the attack of the Hunan Army, and another battalion of the Hunan Army rushed up. Although the Hubei army was not afraid, it poured all the firepower down to temporarily block the attack of the Hunan Army battalion, but the other two battalions of the Hunan Army almost rushed up again.

At this time, the artillery of Mengding Kingdom showed its power again, and twelve grenades fell into the Hunan Army's formation, which finally temporarily blocked the Hunan Army's attack. At this time, a platoon of Hubei troops supported by the rear also rushed to the position smoothly.

But the Hunan Army's six-pound cannons also opened fire desperately. The small mountaintops were full of fire, and gunfire was filled with smoke, and almost all the temporary civil fortifications were damaged.

Taking this opportunity, the three battalions rushed to the mountain almost at the same time. Both sides held bayonets, and the cold light shone, and another life-and-death battle.

The Hunan Army has too much advantage in its military strength, and the Hubei Army has fewer and fewer soldiers, while the Hunan Army has more and more climbed to the top of the mountain.

The flag of the Hunan Army was finally raised on this mountain, and Meng Dingguo also desperately let the artillery fire at the mountain. The entire mountain was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Most of the Hunan Army soldiers who were celebrating their victory were suddenly collapsed in a pool of blood.

But the subsequent Hunan Army jumped to the top of the mountain again, waved its hands vigorously, and once again erected the Hunan Army's flag.

Although Liu Jingxiao could vaguely hear gunfire and fighting on the hill, and there were still a few remaining Hubei troops who were fighting, this was of special significance to the Hunan Army.

The Hunan Army conquered the first mountain!

For the Hubei army, this means the loss of the outer positions!

However, for both sides, the price they paid in this position is too much.

The entire position is covered in blood. From the hillside to the top of the mountain, countless corpses are standing upside down, and the broken limbs are not allowed to fall into your feet.

But for the Hunan Army, as long as they occupied the mountain, that was enough, they simply set up artillery positions on the mountain.

Accompanied by the neat sound of trumpets, more than 100 Hunan troops pulled people and pushed them up, braved the threat of Meng Dingguo's artillery, and forced the eight-door big guys to the top of the mountain.

Along with them, there was a big fat man who personally pushed the bulky cannon stand and then cheered loudly for the Hunan Army soldiers.

Liu Jingxiao also clearly saw this in the telescope. Lu Dangping the fat man across the fire was really unparalleled.

Mengding Kingdom fired another round of artillery at the Hunan Army's artillery position, but it was useless. The six-pound cannon behind the Hunan Army also shifted its target and began to suppress the Mengding Kingdom's artillery.

The Hubei army was originally condescending and could be said to have a great advantage, but after the Hunan Army placed the artillery positions on the top of the mountain, this advantage was immediately weakened.

Fortunately, the three-pound regiment cannons were placed up the mountain, and their power range was much worse than the six-pound cannons, but they were also very terrible. The Hunan Army used three-pound cannons to shoot flat, and was also used to support the infantry's attack. The infantry near several hills either suffered heavy casualties or were suppressed in fortifications.

Seeing this situation, the Hunan Army was very motivated and shouted in a concentrated formation to launch a general attack on Yangloudong.

Within the next hour, the Hubei army lost two hills in a row. The Hunan army, which had more than ants, rushed up the hill regardless of casualties, setting a symbol of their victory.

This is not because the Hubei army is not good at fighting. For every casualty of the Hubei army, the Hunan Army has to pay more than twice the price. However, the Hunan Army's offensive is too fierce. The defenders of these two positions fought in the sea of ​​people and fire of the Hunan Army.

As the morale of the Hunan Army grew higher and higher, Liu Jingxiao calmed down, sat down, and said calmly: "Cavalent Battalion, prepare to counterattack!"

Zhou Zaizhi's deployment mainly deployed his troops on the periphery, and placed Liu Jingxiao's Dingbian Army in the core position. Therefore, the casualties nowadays are mostly Zhou regiment. Although the casualties of the Dingbian Army are quite large, they have not yet damaged their vitality.

However, the Hunan Army is now close to the core position. When the third position is lost, they begin to attack the two high grounds on both sides at the same time.

The high ground on the left is the two companies of Zhou regiment stationed, and the right wing is the Sima Kan Company of Li Heyi's first battalion.

Although Li Heyi had no talent, he personally went to the high ground in this situation and commanded with Sima Kan.

The Hunan Army was still the old method, first using three-pound cannons to suppress them, and then the three companies launched an attack from three sides at the same time.

Sima Kan was very calm in command. When the artillery was fired, he immediately retracted the troops into the fortifications. When the Hunan Army began to attack, he asked the troops to roulette and serve the visitors again.

Most of the Sima Kanlian equipment is rifled, with a long range, high accuracy and great power. As soon as it catches the Huo Xiang Army, it feels quite a headache. Thirty or forty people were knocked down by this volleyball, and they can only bare the bullet and charge upwards.

Sima Kan's company was mostly veterans who had been through military formations for a long time. They were of high quality and were calm and calm. They picked up guns and loaded bullets, and served the Hunan Army one round after another. Before the Hunan Army rushed to the hillside, they had been served by four rounds of guns.

"Liu Jingxiao's shooting is well-trained and shoots very quickly..." The saying comes from this. However, when the Hunan Army still wanted to rush up, Sima Kan first pulled the grenade string, and then the officers and soldiers threw the grenades in a burst. The Dingbian Army also put hard work on the throwing of grenades.

After the explosion of "boom boom boom", only half of the people were left in front of the attack. Although the two companies on the flank were better, they could only retreat in a mess.

The Hunan Army was furious and replaced three battalions to charge upwards. Although Sima Kan Company defeated many enemies with volleyball and grenades, there were too many Hunan Army. They quickly rushed to the ridge and threw small red grenades at the defenders.

The defenders were still staying in the fortifications. Although this series of grenades was large, the casualties caused were not serious.

Suddenly, a small grenade flew towards the place where Li Heyi and Sima Kan were lying on the ground. Li Heyi was so scared that he immediately lay on the ground. However, Sima Kan grabbed the small grenade and threw it back hard, exploding over the Hunan Army.

At this time, Sima Kan estimated that it was almost done. He jumped out of the position, held a revolver in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Li He was stunned for a moment and rushed forward. The commander led the way, and the officers and soldiers were naturally not behind. The man with a hundred people picked up the rifle and rushed forward.

The three battalions of the Hunan Army also picked up bayonets almost at the same time, and the two sides immediately fought each other in hand and blades, but the Hunan Army had too many troops, and Sima Kanlian was in danger of losing all the entire army.

However, the artillery of Mengding Kingdom had to support the two-line battles at the same time, and was unable to help the situation here.

While Sima Kan was fighting hard, Hu Bo Company of the Cavalry Battalion finally moved. Hu Bo first flew up the mountain and killed two Hunan troops. When he saw Sima Kan Lian in groups of three or five people, he occupied most of the top of the mountain. He was fighting desperately with the Hunan Army. He roared, and the officers and soldiers behind him understood what he meant and smashed the Hunan Army's successor team with a grenade.

They simply gave up their fancy tricks and smashed grenades directly into the densely populated areas of the Hunan Army. The Hunan Army was blown up for a moment, but the subsequent troops of the Hunan Army were also red-eyed, ignoring the rain of bullets and snarling up the mountain.

Hu Bo simply picked up the saber, cut down several enemies in a row, and led the entire company to squeeze the Hunan army down the mountain, and then another round of grenades hit him.

The Hunan Army was not a vegetarian. They went in and out, with small red grenades flying all over the sky, and the naked bodies of the Hunan athletes were also unparalleled in fighting each other.

However, this wave of attacks on the Hunan Army ended in vain, and there were great casualties. However, Sima Kanlian looked at the company with only 70 or 80 brothers left, and the squad leader was mostly injured and injured. Looking back at Hu Bolian, there were only half of his company left. The two looked at each other and cried on the position.

The Hunan Army's attack on the two companies of Zhou Zaizhi Regiment was also defeated. Although the Wu Canglei Company, the supportive cavalry battalion, was once in a difficult battle, the Hunan Army finally failed with the support of artillery fire from Mengdingguo.

The Hunan Army turned to concentrate its forces to attack the artillery positions of Mengding. The two small highlands were covering the artillery positions of Mengding. One behind was the Zhuying Company of Liu Jingxiao's troops, and the other in front was a company of Zhou regiment.

The Hunan Army can be said to have invested a lot of money, using four companies as the forwards, and then following them were four complete battalions that had not participated in the battle. The company stationed in the small highlands of Zhou Zaizhi's regiment could not resist the enemy. After a hard battle, they fought and retreated to the position of the Zhuying Company.

Liu Jingxiao also knew that the high ground was stationed in Zhuying Company, so she immediately went to the artillery position of Mengdingguo to command and placed the cavalry battalion on the artillery position as the general reserve team.

The Hunan Army won the battle and its momentum was even more amazing. It concentrated seven or eight times its troops to attack the Zhuying Company.

The Zhuying Company did not suffer much loss in the battle these days, and the system was quite complete. When the Hunan Army swarmed up, they just waited for guns and bullets without saying a word.

But there were too many Hunan Army. Before long, only half of the people were left in the Zhuying Company. The Hunan Army rushed to the top of the mountain several times. Fortunately, the neighboring Murong Xuehai and Yu Changqing Company took the initiative to help, so that the position would not collapse.

Meng Dingguo also worked extremely hard. Zhu's camp company lost, and behind it was his artillery position. Twelve howitzers fired volleys, killing at least two or three hundred Hunan troops.

But the Hunan Army also joined the reserve team. Liu Jingxiao sat on the artillery position, looked at the strangling of the small high ground, and suddenly said to Chen Ce: "Chen Ce, prepare to attack!"

Chen Ce immediately responded, and Liu Jingxiao said again: "I'll lead the team!"

Chen Ce had some objections in his heart, but when he saw Liu Jingxiao's extremely firm gaze, he could only accept that with Liu Jingxiao's pace, the two companies of the cavalry battalion began to charge.

When they rushed to the small highland, Zhu Camp was in a desperate situation. His company was only more than fifty people, and Yu Changqing's company was still more than eighty people. As for the company where Zhou Zaizhi's regiment retreated, there were only more than twenty people left, and the Hunan Army seemed to have no decrease at all.

When he saw Liu Jingxiao suddenly led his troops to the position, and then waved his sword and cut off a Hunan Army's head, he was very happy. He added a lot of strength to his hands and shouted: "Jingxiao, you are here!"

Liu Jingxiao's army waved his sword and cut down several Hunan troops in succession. It can be said that he was invincible. He heard the voice of Zhuying and responded slowly, "I'm here!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a few consecutive explosions in the first place. After a closer look, he was completely heartbroken. It turned out that several small grenades that had come from somewhere suddenly landed at Zhu Ying's feet. Before Zhu Ying could react, an explosion occurred. The classmate and friend fell to the ground in the explosion and turned into a black corpse.

Looking back on all the things back then, Liu Jingxiao turned everything into grief and anger, rushed forward with naked eyes and madly, and the saber cut several people over. Even the Hunan Army saw that Liu Jingxiao was as fierce as a virgin, she was so fierce. She couldn't help but feel afraid and quickly retreated.

And on the artillery position, Meng Dingguo shouted loudly: "I won't fire the artillery yet!"

Several company commanders explained to him: "Captain, it's too hot now... If you fight again, you must explode!"

Meng Dingguo ignored them and shouted: "Fire me! If something goes wrong, I'm responsible!"

He was born as an artilleryman, so he naturally knew the benefits and interests of this, but the war reached such a fierce level. Without artillery fire support, the Dingbian Army would have no chance of winning.

"Give me all the shrapnel shots..."

"The leader...there are only eight shots of shrapnel..."

"Then load the grenades..."

Such conversations can be heard at the artillery position. Finally, there were twelve roars in the position, but only eleven shells were fired out. A six-pound howitzer exploded, the barrel was cracked into several pieces, and shrapnel flew everywhere. A dozen people next to the artillery were either injured or killed. Meng Dingguo could also feel the power of the air wave.

But Meng Dingguo didn't have time to see this situation, and he was most concerned about the power of this round of artillery bombardment.

The eleven shells from Mengding Kingdom roared into the formation of the Hunan Army. The explosion was so good that it could not be better. None of the shots were missing. The four-fly projectiles played the greatest role, knocking down at least 350 Hunan Army, one of which twelve-pound shrapnel even allowed forty Hunan Army to enter the Pure Land.

With the help of extremely powerful artillery bombardment, the Dingbian Army finally drove the enemy out of the small highland. As soon as the war ended, Liu Jingxiao hugged Zhu Ying's body and started crying.

However, after the attack was repelled, the Hunan Army was no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive like the ones that began.

The Hubei army also suffered heavy losses. Zhou Zai's regiment basically lost its attack ability, and the casualties of the Dingbian Army were more than 500.

However, the crazy attacks of the Hunan Army in the morning can only be said to be a loss. The Hunan Army’s History of the War Aid to Hubei after the war admitted: “The casualties of officers and soldiers are more than 2,500…”

But it was raining all night long, and Liu Jingxiao stabilized the frontal situation, and gunfire sounds in Zhao Liqiao again.

There was no need to mobilize, gunfire was just an order. Liu Jingxiao immediately wiped away her tears and quickly advanced towards Zhao Liqiao with the cavalry battalion that had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.

The two companies in the cavalry battalion originally had more than 430 people, but now there are only a few more than 200 left, but everyone has no complaints at all.
