Chapter 566: Reinforcements Arrive

The battle was in full swing, and both sides came up with their own means, and for a while, with the advantage of geographical advantages, the 117th Regiment was stunned to withstand the repeated charges of three times the force.

Faced with this situation, the British ** team became angry, and the original attack strength at the company and battalion level became the battalion level. Twelve 105-mm howitzers firing power. Let the positions of the Wehrmacht be plunged into a sea of fire, and the battle line will be stormy. You know, in the Asian theater, the 105-mm howitzer is already close to the category of heavy artillery. Coupled with the terrible accuracy sharpened by the British artillery on the Western battlefield, for a time, the 117th Regiment suffered huge losses.

Boom ——!

There was a loud bang, and Qian Dagen's headquarters was almost blown up by a shell. Even if the headquarters did not collapse, the bunker above was not lightly damaged, and a large amount of dirt fell on Qian Dagen's face.

"British, *** your grandma!" Qian Dagen spat out the sand in his mouth and scolded in the direction of the battlefield.

"Has the brigade commander been contacted?" Qian Dagen said with a dark face. So far, his losses have been more than a third. If it were not for the advantage of the terrain, the enemy's howitzers would not have been able to exert their full power, and their positions would have been breached long ago. Even so, their losses were extremely heavy. It can be said that the 117th Regiment has never suffered such a big loss since its establishment.

"Not yet. However, we have already contacted the division headquarters. Although the soldiers of the communications squad were also discouraged, they instinctively used their bodies to save the radio station at the moment of the tremor. Otherwise, the fragile radio station could have broken under the vibration of the shell just now.

"Telegraph to the divisional headquarters. Our regiment was under attack by nearly 10,000 troops of the enemy, and the enemy's firepower was very fierce, and the troops suffered heavy losses, so we requested the division headquarters to send troops to support. Qian Dagen didn't care about the problem of face, and directly asked the division commander for help.

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, a telegram from the division headquarters arrived.

"Report to the regiment commander, the division headquarters said that the main force of our brigade has approached Biyun Mountain, so let our troops must hold on to the spot! Wait for reinforcements to arrive! ”

"The brigade commander is coming. That's great. Little Sanzi, go and tell the brothers the news, and let them call me a jīng god. Our 117th regiment has no bad seeds, even if we fight to the last person, we have to wait until the brigade commander arrives. The telegram from the division headquarters reassured Qian Dagen. It also made his mind spin rapidly.

Unlike Qian Dagen's sigh of relief, the atmosphere at the British Temporary Command was very dull.

British, Commander of the 9th Brigade of the British Army. Brigadier General Frey is unusually ugly. A brigade of the British Empire could not even take the position of a Chinese regiment, and when it was spread out, the face of the British Imperial Army was about to be completely lost.

"Order the front-line troops, at all costs, to crush the opposite squadron!" Since normal attacks don't work, Brigadier General Frey has no choice but to choose a more brutal attack.

The British organized assault teams and concentrated the fire of the entire brigade to attack a point of the Wehrmacht's defensive positions. With the power of the howitzers and the intensive fire of the heavy guns, these commandos managed to break through the Wehrmacht lines, enter the trenches, and engage the Wehrmacht soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.

"Kill ——!" An earth-shattering shout rang out from the trenches. The soldiers of the 117th Regiment were likewise Jīng Rui. With bayonets in hand, the fearless god Jīng and the British GIs started a brutal white-knuckle battle.

In terms of physique, the average height of Chinese is only about 1.6 meters, while the British are close to 1.8 meters. Although the lives of the Wehrmacht soldiers have improved considerably, and the soldiers' structure has been improved, there is no sign of strength in the slightest. The British GIs, on the other hand, had bulging muscles and looked full of a sense of strength.

However, when the bayonets were really red, the British GIs not only did not take advantage, but suffered great losses under the skillful white-knuckle tactics of the Wehrmacht.

The soldiers of Western countries are not good at white-knuckle warfare, after all, the West is basically a developed industrial country, and the level of military industry is far from being comparable to that of backward agricultural countries in the Far East. In this case, the Western armies have much greater firepower than the Asian armies. Therefore, although the British Army training cāo has white-knuckle combat subjects, the level of training is not high, and it is far from being comparable with the armies of Asia. Among them, the white-knuckle battle of rìben is even more famous in the world.

Although it is a modern industrial power, it is a small country with poor resources. It is also common for army equipment not to be replaced for several years or even more than ten years. Moreover, Rì is an island country, and the domestic emphasis on the navy is far greater than that of the army, which makes the army's access to a military budget really limited, and it is simply incomparable with the navy. Under these circumstances, in order to minimize the influence of equipment as much as possible, the Imperial Army introduced the god of Bushido jīng to the army. Strengthen the will to learn in white-knuckle combat. As a consequence of this, the strength of the jīng Rui veteran of Rìben was unusually strong in fighting bayonets.

China and Rìben are fatalized enemies, and the Chinese National Defense Force has regarded Rìben as its biggest opponent since its establishment. The Wehrmacht infantry cāo code also refers to the rì book cāo code in a large way. For the squadrons with weak domestic military industry, it is simply impossible to upgrade their equipment in the short term, and even the high-firepower equipment units can only achieve a part of it. In this case, in order to be able to fight against the army, it is understandable that the squadron will strengthen white-knuckle warfare. In addition to speed and strength, white-knuckle combat is also important for experience and skill. The British soldiers had strength, but they were not fast, and the Wehrmacht soldiers were inferior in strength, but they were agile and skillful. To Wehrmacht veterans, the British soldier was like a flawed bear in white-knuckle combat. In the life-and-death struggle, the British army naturally suffered heavy losses.

The defeat of the commando made Lacey. Brigadier General Frey was furious. It also made him think deeply about his own tactics. After all, he is a general who was killed on the battlefield in the West, and he has no ability, so I am afraid that he has long been resting in the Heroes Cemetery of the British Empire. As for the initial defeat, it is inseparable from his carelessness. He didn't expect the squadron to be so difficult.

"Order the troops to outflank from both flanks. I'm going to wipe out this squadron here completely. Brigadier General Frey exclaimed.

At the very beginning of this war, Lieutenant General Frey had the intention of testing the combat effectiveness of the squadron, otherwise their Ninth Brigade of nearly 10,000 people would rush forward, and the position of a regiment of the Wehrmacht might not be able to hold up. But Brigadier General Frey became more and more surprised that in his heart, the ignorant and backward squadron had such combat effectiveness. This was completely unexpected. Since the British army could not win with similar strength, it was necessary to give full play to the superiority of troops, reduce ten times with one force, and flatten the defense line of the Wehrmacht in one fell swoop.

In the face of the onslaught of three times the strength of the British army, the Wehrmacht line was finally completely broken. In this case, some recruits are mentally turbulent and want to break up at the first time. But seeing the veterans calmly putting on their bayonets and fighting fiercely with the British troops who rushed up, the recruits were affected, their blood surged, and they forcibly stopped their escape.

Kill......!

A recruit yelled, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed like a meteor into the ribs of a British soldier who was engaged with a veteran. The British soldier let out a terrible howl. He tried to turn his head to see who had attacked him.

Poof!

A head covered with golden hair soared into the sky, and after a few seconds, blood gushed out from the headless neck, like a fountain of blood! The blood spurted the recruit's eggs. Let his whole person be like a bloody man. He resisted the hope of vomiting. The trembling legs gradually stabilized.

"Good boy, a man!" The Wehrmacht veteran who had shaved off the head of a British soldier grinned. Then, without hesitation, he waved the broadsword in his hand and rushed towards the other enemies. The recruit clenched the cold rifle in his hand and rushed towards another British soldier. Maybe he won't survive this brutal battlefield. But from the moment he was poured with the blood of the enemy, from the moment he overcame the fear in his heart, he was already a qualified Wehrmacht soldier. Of course, not all recruits have this transformation, and many more have been stabbed to death by vicious British soldiers because they have not overcome the horror in their hearts. The battlefield is an incomparably cruel elimination field, and once you hesitate, death awaits you.

The Wehrmacht, while valiant, was outnumbered. The resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and there are more and more enemies around you.

Tick Tick Tick Tick ......

The loud sound of military trumpets came from the official road on the other side of Biyun Mountain.

"Kill!" Loud shouts of killing shook the battlefield.

"Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements!" The Wehrmacht soldiers who were fighting hard were greatly invigorated.

"Our reinforcements are coming, give Lao Tzu a bite on them, *** the British have killed so many of our brothers, let's all die!" Qian Dagen's roar seemed to be heard throughout the battlefield. The soldiers of the 117th Regiment were rejuvenated by their withered bodies. The soldiers were so entangled with the enemy that they wanted to keep as many of them as possible.

Provisional Command of the British Army, Reis. Brigadier General Frey was forced to give the order to withdraw his troops. Brigadier General Frey was unwilling. But he was not carried away by the anger. Wehrmacht reinforcements arrived. And the size of the forces has already exceeded theirs. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid they will be left behind.

After all, it was the hundred battles that survived on the battlefield, and although the British army retreated in a hurry, it was busy but not chaotic. The 7th Wehrmacht, which came to support, did not pursue any further, except for the two lines of defense left by the enemy that had slowed down the Wehrmacht's pursuit. After all, the opposite side is the territory of Myanmar, and if you enter too rashly, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss. Moreover, the performance of the British commander during the retreat also made the Wehrmacht a lot more cautious.

"Clean up the battlefield and help the wounded." Li Qin, commander of the Seventh Brigade, said in a deep voice. Although the 117th Regiment is not the main regiment of their brigade, it is also the main force of the Southwestern Military District. Looking at the tragic battlefield, the Seventh Brigade knew that the 117th Regiment might have really been disabled.
