Chapter 125: The Battle of the Underworld (3)

"What are you still doing! Give Lao Tzu a hit! "The first to wake up was the commander of the Ninth Division, Pan Tianshi, who had reached the level of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he jumped to his feet in the temporary command post and issued an order to his subordinates, "Before those birdmen rush out, completely destroy the birdmen in front of you!" ”

Stirred by the sight before them, and felt by a certain pride of courage in their chests, the warriors roared and attacked the low-ranking birdmen even more violently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the command of Pan Tianshi, the artillery regiment of the 9th Division and the main force of the 25th Regiment all moved to the north side of the battlefield, built a solid defensive line, and used fierce artillery fire and nearly one-third of the troops to block the Underworld Holy Envoy Legion from approaching the north. Pan Tianshi gave a death order, even if he finished the last bullet, even if he bit it with his teeth, he would bite the enemy back for me, even if he died, he would all die on the position, no matter what, he couldn't let these damn birdmen get close to Tianmen Gorge to receive their reinforcements, and he must not let them inflict any impact on the troops of the 11th Division!

In the east, west, and south directions, the infantry of the main regiment was divided into small detachments mainly in companies and platoons, and completely smashed into the birdman formation, entangled with the enemy regardless of casualties, and tried to hold this opponent to the death. On the periphery, the artillery companies of each regiment and the light artillery of the battalion were all gathered together to launch a fierce bombardment of the birdmen who had gathered in a large area.

The area, which was less than 2,000 miles apart, was divided into two huge battlefields that were not connected to each other, and a fierce battle began.

On the one hand, it was a high-level holy envoy legion desperately trying to break through the gap and rushing into the underworld, and in the fierce artillery fire, wave after wave was smashed out.

On the other side, the Legion of the Holy Envoy of the Underworld, who was also desperately trying to break through the opponent's defense line and receive their own reinforcements, moved closer to the huge gap in the air with all their might, but they were never able to get rid of the opponent's entanglement, and fell in pieces in the process of breaking through.

The battle, from the very beginning, entered the white-hot stage. This white-hot battle lasted for ten hours. Both sides began to suffer heavy casualties, and the 100,000 officers and men of the Ninth Division, after continuous fighting, had been reduced by nearly 20 percent, and at the most tense time, even Pan Tianshi's guard company was sent to the battlefield.

In these ten hours, tens of millions of low-level holy envoys were never able to get even a single step closer to the north, but instead lost nearly two-thirds of their strength in the fierce battle. But the battle of Tianmen Gorge gradually became a little unbearable.

The gap in the air with a diameter of more than 1,000 miles is too large, the number of surging birdmen is too large, and their strength is so strong. Despite the ferocious firepower of the thousands of heavy artillery, they could not wipe out all the birdmen that poured out like deaths in an instant, and the 100,000 officers and men of the 11th Division, despite their best efforts, could not completely close the door that had been opened.

As more and more birdmen poured out of the gap, and as the first twelve-winged birdmen who survived the artillery fire organized themselves and attacked with their thick lightsabers, the troops responsible for the attack began to suffer casualties. As time passed, the loss of troops grew, and the birdmen who poured out of the gap had formed a huge torrent that could no longer be effectively stopped.

"The first regiment and the second regiment of artillery, bombard the gap with all their might! The 31st Regiment and the 32nd Regiment retreated a hundred miles and made every effort to block the enemy's reinforcements! The Ninth Division and the Eleventh Division were command posts, and Huang Xiwen's voice sounded at the same time, "The Second Artillery Regiment and the 33rd Infantry Regiment should immediately withdraw from the battlefield, turn to the southwest, cooperate with the Ninth Division of the Third Army, destroy the remnants of the enemy, and be sure to complete the clean-up task within one hour!" Then, according to the plan, resist in echelons and retreat in turn to the south of the Stygian Mountain Realm! The armored regiment directly under the corps will meet you halfway! ”

Orders were crisscrossed across the battlefield, and the troops began to adjust rapidly. The 33rd Regiment and the 2nd Artillery Regiment, which were the first to break away from the Tianmen Gorge battlefield, arrived at the southern battlefield within 15 minutes. The morale of the officers and men of the 9th Division was greatly boosted, and with the cooperation of reinforcements, it only took 37 minutes to completely annihilate the low-level Holy Envoy Legion, which had less than a third of the remnants left.

At this time, the 11th Division, which was blocking the birdman reinforcements in Tianmen Gorge, was facing more and more difficult situations, and when a fourteen-winged birdman with a white light from the sky faintly appeared at the end of the passage, a rapid retreat had to begin.

Fortunately, under Huang Xiwen's rigorous training year after year, the retreat of the troops was organized quickly and orderly. Relying on the powerful firepower of the artillery divisions directly under the corps, all units continued to carry out attacks and counterattacks, trying every means to stop the speed of the birdmen's advance, and at the same time constantly changing the formation and retreat order.

But the price to pay is also enormous. Whether it was an eight-winged or ten-winged holy envoy, for these underworld cultivators who were only in the infancy of the Golden Dan Yuan, their strength was too strong. The stabbing lightsabers in their hands were almost a nightmare for the monks, even with specially made body armor and helmets and other protective gear from the Immortal Arsenal, but the low level of cultivation still made their ability to resist blows have huge defects. What's more, their numbers are still so huge.

On the retreat of less than 10,000 miles, at least 50,000 warriors lost their lives forever, leaving not even their souls behind. The wide battlefield was littered with the corpses of fallen monks. If it weren't for the rigidity of the birdmen's attacks, and if it weren't for the extreme agility of the monks, it might not take long for two infantry divisions plus an artillery division to be wiped out.

Even so, this team did not lose the courage to resist, but instead inflicted great casualties on the Birdman Legion. Especially after joining forces with the armored regiment that responded halfway, relying on the extremely strong mobility, defensive ability and powerful firepower of the chariot, he once completely annihilated a high-level birdman army of at least more than 100,000 people.

And the strong combat effectiveness of this team made those birdmen, especially the fourteen-winged birdmen who were obviously the supreme commanders, think that they had encountered the enemy's most powerful main force. Under his command, tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of birdmen gnawed at this team, and refused to relax in pursuit.

The battle became more and more intense, and the battlefield moved rapidly towards the area of the Stygian Realm.

Finally, in the distance, the undulating terrain of the Stygian Mountain Realm appeared in sight. At this time, the 9th and 11th Divisions, plus the artillery division, had been reduced by more than half, and only 120,000 troops were left.

"Hold on, hold on!" He had already taken part in the battle with a light machine gun himself, and while firing wildly, he shouted, "The time to send the bunnies to hell is coming!" ”
