172 Dangerous Edge
"Commander, this will not work. The elites who dare to rush up have suffered too much loss. Moreover, the soldiers are a little excited. The military police have already been dispatched, but I don't know how long it will be stable. You must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, once the soldiers are in chaos, our ambush will completely fail!"
At the front command of the Republic of Negro, the chief of staff of the Eastern Front Command, Stefan Schgwa, was looking at his commander Taijia Bush with a burning face, waiting for his order. For nearly a year when he started a war with Ankenry, it was the first time that Stefan Schgwa had seen such a tragic battlefield. His soldiers were like toys made of mud and paper. As soon as they rushed up, they were torn apart by the enemy's fierce firepower. Forty thousand troops, the 19th Army and the 18th Army, responsible for this surround battle, had a loss rate of nearly 30% of the military regulations. Those soldiers who dared to rush and could rush were dying in large numbers, and a large number of cheap casualties and the enemy's devil-like weapons were quickly destroying the confidence of their soldiers. Although Negro had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, if they continued to fight, their morale would fall to the bottom.
"No hurry," Tai'e Bush waved his hand and looked down at the sand table. On the sand table that reflected the landform of Ensten Province, small flags were already filled with left and right of Kufeng Mountain.
"Although Elena is small, their weapons are very advanced. The guns we seized from the Western Theater Command have already explained the problem. If we want to take over the province of Ensten and to make the army of the Republic of Niglu truly an irresistible powerful army in this world, we must destroy Elena's resistance and obtain their technology. This plan starts with the destruction of their main combat power today. Therefore, we must be patient and must not give up halfway."
Tai's Bush's idea was very clear, "I informed Loren Maggio and James Lester to prepare the 21st and 22nd Army. If Levi Slatterly's 19th Army and Alan Cavallo's 18th Army can't hold on, they must go up. Now give orders to establish a second encirclement from the periphery. Also, don't use combat marching formations, run directly into place, and then organize the lineup after they are in place. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I'll issue it now!"
Stefan Schgva nodded and turned away. Tai'e Bush looked at the door curtain he lifted, and was silent for two seconds before sighing in a low voice.
Even he himself was unsure of the result of this battle. When will the enemy show fatigue? Whether his soldiers can force the enemy to that point before collapse is his most worried about it. This time, even if he is fully prepared, is his soldiers who can't bear the psychological pressure and collapse, or the enemy's weapons and ammunition collapse, it is actually just like a 55-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-

"Report to the brigade commander, the first, second, fourth and sixth regiments, the ammunition is insufficient, and our offensive is blocked!!"
Just when Tai'e Bush was worried about his plan, Ivan and Belanchel also encountered the problems that Gastens was worried about. Because of the enemy's desperate impact and attack, the ammunition of their two brigades was being consumed quickly. Many soldiers of the regiment had already drained most of the magazines and had to adjust the Lei Ming type to a single-shot mode and start aiming and shooting. The gunshots on the battlefield gradually became sparse.
"It will be dangerous if this continues!" Berangel explained Ivan's concerns, "We can't fight anymore, we must speed up our retreat!"
"I get it," Ivan thought for a while and looked at Belancher. "We concentrate our ammunition and give priority to supplying the front and flanks. The soldiers in the rear focus on defense. How about it?"
Ivan's proposal made sense. Behind them were the destroyed steam cannons. The heat emitted by the high-temperature metallurgical pyroxene turned that area into a harsh passage that was inconvenient to pass. The enemy only established an encirclement on the other side of the wreckage and did not follow their retreat and advance. The rear, which was in front of the two when they attacked, was now the position where the two teams of Elena were the least stressed.
"I agree, just do it!"
The orders of Ivan and Belancheir began to be issued. But as they issued the orders, the gunfire that obviously began to become sparse gave the enemy a clear signal. The soldiers of Nigrus, who were already hesitating in front of the fierce firepower of the Elena army, were excited. They shouted, holding up scimitars and steam rifles to attack from both wings, while the soldiers on the front, relying on the armored chariots and lined up to kill the enemy, looked like you could not imagine it. In some positions in the Ivan and Belancheir team, there had even been hand-to-hand contact between the soldiers on both sides. If it weren't for the power of the Luoshan machine gun, they might have been entangled by those crazy enemies.
"Hurry, hurry, we don't have much time left!"
Ivan now has urgency. He and Belancheer moved forward as the troops moved forward, adjusting tactical details. As the two orders continued to issue, the two Elena combat brigades, who were surrounded, began to break out in a tough posture.
——————————
"No, it's not a solution to continue like this." This is the first time Gastens regretted not leaving a reserve team. "Send our guards to the outside world and tear them apart!"
"But, sir, the guard is used to protect your safety, and we cannot leave you!" Kurt was a little embarrassed. The guard's highest mission is to protect Gastens's safety. Even if Ivan and Belancheer die in front of him, if the price of saving the two is Gastens's life, he will give up without hesitation.
"It's okay, I'll follow you too!" Gastens made an irrational decision, "You should have heard about me when you were in the Sixth Legion. I also played from the suicide squad back then, so I'm not afraid of this situation!"
Gastens said while pointing at the enemy's formation, "Look, the enemy has new troops running into the position, hoping to establish an outer encirclement. By that time, once the double encirclement is established, the people inside will not be able to get out, and Elena will have big trouble. So, we must pull our people out!"
"Sir, why don't I leave half of the people for you and you can command here, how about it?"
"It goes without saying that they are all revolutionary comrades, and their identities are not high or low. If those people are willing to die for the cause of revolution, why can't we do it?"
Gastens made a high profile and silenced Kurt. Kurt went down to arrange the troops as ordered, while Gastens picked up the telescope again.
————————————
"Brig Commander, our second and third regiments of the brigade have almost no bullets, and many places have already started hand-to-hand combat!"
"Brig Commander, our fourth, fifth and sixth groups of bullets are in a hurry. If this continues, we may be trapped in hand-to-hand combat and even besieged by the enemy!"
"Sir, the enemy seems to have new movements behind the armored vehicle. The situation we have observed is not very clear at the moment, but it should be a new line of defense to prevent us from breaking through!"
Listening to the flood of bad news, Ivan and Belanchel frowned. Now, the sound of fighting was clearly heard in their ears. Looking around, you could see many people holding big swords charging. Those people were wearing blue military uniforms of the Republic of Negru, with their expressions mixed with fear and excitement.
They want to use Ailena's firepower gap during this period to bring the two sides closer and maintain an advantage for the final victory.
"Concentrate ammunition and firepower directly in front of us, we break through!"
Ivan and Belancher finally issued the toughest order. The soldiers who were breaking through divided the few bullets on their bodies and gave a large part of the front line. After these bullets were provided, the firepower on the front of the troops became denser. But this time, the enemy seemed to feel the fatigue of Elena's troops. Not only did their attack not stop, but became more intense.
——————————
"Boss, when will we go in?" After the troops were assembled, Kurt asked solemnly with his men. Most of the soldiers present knew that this operation had encountered setbacks. They were adjusting their weapons, hoping to contribute their strength to the battle.
"Now, can't wait any longer!"
Gastens has been paying attention to the gunshots in the distance for a while. Judging from the frequency and rhythm of the gunshots, the ammunition of Belanche and Ivan has reached the brink of danger. Now, the distinctive continuous gunshots of Thunder and Luoshan are rarely heard in the encirclement. Instead, the dull sound of single-fire shootings are dull. These sounds are drowned in the enemy's volleyball guns, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear them at all.
"I understand, sir, you must be careful!"
Kurtie nodded and issued an order. The last force in Gastens's hand, a regiment-scale guard, was about to enter the battlefield.
——————————————
Evan Hendry lay on the ground, looking at a firepower point in front of him. As the captain of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 18th Army, his mission was to lead his soldiers to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. In his previous life experience, except for being captured by Ankenry in the early stage of the war, there were no other major ups and downs. Now, his life is about to reach a peak after a long trough.
Fight with Elena's advanced weapons forces and defeat them.
"KaKaKa--"
The originally loud steam machine gun sound suddenly disappeared, replaced by the sound of the air valve idling. As a soldier who was once captured with Ata Wales, Evan Hendry is no stranger to this sound. Every time this sound sounds, it means that a machine gun on the opposite side stops shooting. More than ten minutes ago, after one machine gun stops shooting, another machine gun will immediately follow, preventing Hendry and his men from continuing to attack. But now, there is a quiet blank on the battlefield.
Hendry knew that the enemy's machine gun was silent, so he got up from the ground, raised the scimitar in his hand, and shouted:
"Push for me!!!"
Behind him, the soldiers who were lying on the ground like him stood up one after another, picked up scimitars and long swords and rushed towards the enemy. At this time, they had no other victory in their hearts. Although there was no weapon that could continue to shoot after bounced from the ground, the short distance between the enemy and us gave Evan Hendry and his soldiers a certain degree of confidence.
With such a distance, I rushed over.
This is true. After taking advantage of the enemy's firepower to charge, Evan Henderson's team finally drilled through the defense line. In the end, the dozen Ailena soldiers who were guarding the defense line fought to the death and were all killed by them. The machine gun that had been killing his soldiers also became their spoils.
"Don't worry about the gun, keep rushing for me!!!"
Seeing that his few soldiers were trying to get guns, Evan Henderson immediately stopped them. Now is the time to fight for every second, and those weapons, when they win, aren't they all their own.
Evan Henderson's judgment was correct. Although his soldiers on the side were on the verge of collapse and the huge casualties made him feel scared when he remembered it, but from the sparse sound of the enemy's gunshots, his soldiers and officers launched multiple and even more life-threatening charges like they were stimulants, and for the first time since the battle, they began to bring large-scale damage to the enemy.
If you continue like this, you can win!
————————————
Evan Henderson's judgment, Ivan and Belanchere also realized. Both of them realized a hidden danger to the advanced troops Gastens mentioned not long ago.
When there is insufficient ammunition, Ailena's soldiers are actually just soldiers.
"You can't go on like this!" Ivan saw the soldiers on his escort's flanks hesitate and retreated, knowing that it was time to die. He inhaled and shouted:
"I also came out of the suicide squad back then. I have no weapons, only machetes. I have fought, and some of you have fought too! Let the little bastards on the opposite side see, our love for Lena's troops, whether they have guns or not, are the most powerful!"
Ivan's voice did not spread much in the noisy battlefield, but the soldiers heard him spread his words farther away. Although there was no beautiful rhetoric and modification, Ivan's words also aroused everyone's ferocity. The soldiers who were gradually losing the blessing of advanced weapons finally took out the awareness of facing death and began to fight with the enemy.
——————————
"Commander, our troops have come into contact with the enemy and have entered the stage of bayonet fighting!"
The voice of Chief of Staff Stefan Schgwa was excited. When the Tai family heard the news, they breathed a sigh of relief. They forced the enemy to this point, and the rest was to use their own numerical advantage to overwhelm and destroy the enemy. After today's battle, Elena will become his belonging.
"Notify and launch a general attack, don't stop, don't let an enemy go!"
The Tai family Bush issued the latest order. However, just as he walked to the sand table and wanted to calm his mood of victory, the messenger sent bad news.
"Commander, we found that the enemy reinforcements, about two thousand people, are launching an attack on the weak areas of our encirclement! They have ammunition enough, and our troops responsible for preventing the enemy from retreating will no longer be stopped!"
Chapter completed!
