Throughout the whole day, the French continued to charge after the artillery bombardment and the infantry charge, and then the artillery bombardment after the infantry charge.

The elevation of this small hill was reduced by one meter due to shells.

Li Yuan's infantry company was depleted by the afternoon.

When Liu Wenxiu sent reinforcements, there were only the imp-like Li Yuan on the battlefield and three wounded soldiers who still insisted on fighting.

"My soldiers are here, I won't go down. I want to go with them!" Li Yuan's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.

But he still screamed and broke away from the medical soldiers who were trying to carry him down.

A piece of shrapnel was still embedded in his shoulder, and the blood started to flow at the slightest movement.

Although one of his arms no longer obeyed his command, Li Yuan still pushed away the medical soldiers who wanted to carry him away.

The medical soldiers were running around in a hurry, and there was only so much time between battles. If there was a delay, even the medical soldiers might not be able to leave.

Artillery shells don't matter whether you are an infantryman or a medic!

The roaring Li Yuan suddenly softened and fell to the ground helplessly.

Several medical soldiers rushed forward to help him and then carried him to a stretcher.

The company commander who came to replace him glanced at Li Yuan and said, "Hurry up and carry him down."

After saying that, he urged the soldiers to repair the fortifications.

In fact, there is no point in repairing the fortifications. The rocks on the mountain top have been blown to pieces.

All the soil on the ground turned into floating soil, and your feet could reach your calves when you stepped on it.

If you dig with the engineering shovel, you can dig out your own brother Pao Ze.

Most of them are human body fragments, an arm or a leg. Sometimes half a human head can be dug out!

Sometimes, the whole body can be exhumed.

His face had turned purple from suffocation, and his hands and feet were stiff.

The mouth was opened wide, and it was full of dirt.

These people were buried alive by the soil kicked up by the shells!

The soldiers piled Paoze's corpse together, sometimes adding a leg, sometimes adding an arm.

There seemed to be countless such things buried in the soil, and soon they were piled up more than two meters high.

Dark red muscles, white bone stubble, and hard skin.

The most frightening thing is that the head is half pulled up, and the eyes are drooped outside the eye sockets, which is very scary.

The company commander looked at the complete or incomplete corpses piled together. His face turned a little blue!

"Squad 3, take the body down the mountain. There will be another shelling soon, and they will be killed."

They are all the corpses of Paoze. We Ming people still pay attention to returning to their roots after fallen leaves.

Even if the body cannot be returned, at least a handful of ashes must be returned.

As for whose ashes belong to them, there is no way.

They are all brothers, so they probably won't care about this.

At the foot of the mountain, I hurriedly got a lot of firewood.

The broken pieces of the corpse were burned together with the firewood. From a distance, it looked like they were burning charcoal.

Liu Wenxiu drank bowl after bowl of water!

Li Yuan's company was defeated in just half a day!

It's not that it was crippled, it was that it was destroyed.

This is quite shocking!

Liu Wenxiu has never seen a battle in which he crippled a company in less than half a day.

As soon as the reconnaissance airship flew over the battlefield, it was shot down by enemy anti-aircraft artillery.

The pilot parachuted to escape, but was blown by the wind and landed on the French position. This made Liu Wenxiu depressed for a long time!

Unexpectedly, God would not help Daming this time.

Could it be said that when fighting abroad, the gods in the sky have been replaced by the gods of foreigners?

"There are over a hundred people, why haven't they persisted for half a day?" Li Yuan had already woken up after being carried down, and the medical soldiers carefully removed the shrapnel from his shoulder.

Fortunately, it was on the shoulder. If it were on the neck, the shrapnel would have to be transported to the back before surgery can be taken out.

"Commander, their artillery fire is too fierce.

Their infantry charges were so fierce that I had no choice but to place a platoon on them.

But the enemy was really ruthless. The distance between the two sides was only a dozen meters, so they only had to shoot in hand-to-hand combat.

The entire position was overturned and the ground was plowed with shells.

The brothers in my platoon just...!

Later, I didn’t dare to send them up one row at a time.

The only option was to go up one class at a time, and eventually it became half a class, and half a class at a time.

If there are too many people, they will be bombarded and suffer heavy losses, but if there are too few people, they will not be able to defend.

The land was occupied, and I had no choice but to lead a counterattack with my men.

A counterattack would result in at least half of the squad being killed or injured.

From morning to ten o'clock, in just four hours, the enemy's company-level charges were launched six times!

One of my companies was literally wiped out.

Leader...!"

Li Yuan howled, but no tears fell from his eyes.

"Okay! Okay, hurry down and recuperate. The position is not lost. This is your credit. You and your brothers will not be forgotten by Ming Dynasty."

After comforting the student and subordinate, Liu Wenxiu reluctantly comforted Li Yuan.

The airship pulled Li Yao away from the ground and flew back.

Now the airship can only hang around behind the position and does not dare to approach the battle zone at all.

There might be an anti-aircraft gun somewhere down there that could shoot down the airship.

The enemy is now equipped with an unknown number of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and even if you rise to a high altitude, it will not work.

"Tell the troops at the front not to deploy more than one squad of troops on the position.

Otherwise, the enemy's artillery fire will come down and the casualties will be huge."

This is the only advice Liu Wenxiu can give to the frontline soldiers.

Even with the enemy's heavy artillery, the regiment's artillery company did not dare to stay in one place.

Otherwise, if one fails, the enemy's position will be detected, and the six artillery pieces of the only artillery battery will be wiped out.

On the Don River, the French army built a pontoon bridge in just five hours.

Groups of French soldiers crossed the Don River on the pontoon bridge.

The Ming army's position was like a rock in the strong wind and waves, receiving one wave after another.

With every slap, flesh and blood are buried forever in this land.

At night, Liu Wenxiu realized that something was wrong.

Because it was only one day, no, it was day time. From early morning to dusk, four organic companies of his troops were actually disabled.

It was only daytime, and more than one camp was gone.

And there are only three battalions under his command.

Even counting the cooks, the regiment directly under the regiment can barely make up a battalion.

If this continues, the best I can do will be the day after tomorrow.

Then, as the leader of the group, he can go to the forefront with his Aka rifle.

The situation is not very urgent, but extremely urgent.

"Napoleon is so calculating!" Li Xiao looked at the map and punched the table hard.

Attack eastward from Kiev and cross the Don River.

A strong punch in the soft lower abdomen of the battle line, and Tsaritsyn will be captured soon after crossing the Don River.

Then in the next step, they can threaten the Central Asian Railway.

The Central Asia Railway is the main artery of the entire war, and absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

Napoleon saw through this and launched this attack.
