Chapter 467 - Brutal Battle
The battle on the position reached a white-hot stage. The soldiers of Chinese and British sides launched desperate attacks and defenses. Every inch of the place was fighting fiercely. No one was willing to give up easily. The Mike Donner Mountains fell into a world of blood and fire.
Many years later, a soldier from the 8th Infantry Company of the British 79th Division who defended the Mike Donner Mountains, said painfully, "
The Chinese grenades really fall like rain, not an exaggeration or description. The Chinese people rushed up fearlessly with bullets in our guns. Their grenades were tied together, like they could never be thrown. Sometimes we could not shoot and had to deal with the grenades that were thrown into the trenches. Some people picked it up and threw it back to the Chinese side. Some people waved the iron grenades and knocked them out of the trenches to explode outside the trenches. But there were too many people who could not be blocked and exploded in the trenches. As long as the red light flashed, you would be finished.
I saw Lieutenant Peter Lard kicking the grenade that fell beside him several times. It looked very funny, not like fighting, but rather like playing a special game.
Later, a grenade landed at his feet and he didn't have time to kick it away. The hand was inserted and exploded under his feet. His legs were broken from his knees. Only some muscles and bones were saved. The side and face disappeared. He kept dying on the ground. That scene reminded me that I often wake up from nightmares.
The place where he encountered this was definitely not Peter Ralder, Private Hector Feikalet, was also the one who was injured by a grenade. A grenade fell into the cover. He rushed up and grabbed it and threw it out, but the grenade had exploded before leaving his palm. His palm was blown to pieces and several broken fingers fell to his feet.
Although the British resisted very stubbornly, the soldiers of the National Defense Forces still broke into the British position. The first company commander Zhao Changxi rushed forward with a hurdle. He miraculously did not suffer any damage. If the battlefield was really blessed, he must have pointed to him. These National Defense Forces soldiers rushed bravely and fearlessly, but like God was particularly favoring the warriors, the bullets could not touch their edge.
Dozens of National Defense Army soldiers rushed into the British army and met in close contact, making it impossible for people to aim and crack. Under the dim moonlight, the figures ran and chased quickly. It was dazzling. The soldiers on both sides no longer knew how to treat their opponents with guns. The British soldiers used to pick up the fortifications and tie the National Defense Army soldiers to meet the bayonets and butt stocks. The two sides launched an unprecedented hand-to-hand combat. This was a battle of spirit and perseverance between the soldiers on both sides. This was a battle of fighting skills between the soldiers on both sides. The heroes of the two armies met and the brave. Perhaps the situation was now.
Before joining the National Defense Forces, the first company commander Zhao Changxi followed his father, an elderly martial artist, to make a living in the martial arts world. His father was born in a famous Nanquan master popular in southern China and learned a strong kung fu since childhood. However, when there was a war in China, he had to become a martial arts artist. The old martial arts master had no other requests, but passed on his real kung fu to his son in addition to strengthening his body, and he also wanted to make a living by making a living. Zhao Changxi was born tall and mighty, not like a southerner.
After joining the National Defense Forces, he made many great achievements in the battle to recover Taiwan with this skill. If it weren't for his culture that restricted his promotion, he would have been at least the battalion commander now, but Zhao Changxi himself didn't care about this.
When Zhao Changxi broke into the enemy formation, it seemed that three British men were surrounded by him at the same time. Zhao Changxi raised his divine power and punched him straight between the chest and abdomen of a British soldier. With the sound of a broken sternum, the British soldier vomited blood. He bent down in pain and then vomited in big mouths.
The other two British soldiers did not expect that the Chinese man on the opposite side would be so brave. Then one swung the iron puller. The other rushed towards Zhao Changxi with a bayonet and rushed towards Zhao Changxi. Zhao Changxi swung the iron puller and smashed it hard at Zhao Changxi. Zhao Changxi raised his arm upwards and the wooden handle of the iron puller was broken into two pieces. The British soldiers caught off guard by Zhao Changxi's thick and powerful hands raised high above his head and fell to a stone. The British soldier immediately burst his brain and died. The remaining one turned around and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good. He was helpless and feared that it made him unable to move his footsteps. He looked helplessly as Zhao Changxi rushed to him. The fist as big as a bowl hit his nose. The British nose was immediately broken and blood gushed out. The British seemed to be awakened by the pain. He picked up the bayonet and rushed towards Zhao Changxi frantically.
Zhao Changxi arrived after a few flashes. The British man's clumsy figure had not turned around yet. Zhao Changxi had already stuck his neck and twisted the British arms and lowered softly. Then he fell to the ground and died.
A soldier nicknamed "Old Youzi" fought with a big British soldier. Both sides had no weapons and fought barely. "Old Youzi" was a soldier who surrendered from the Beiyang Army for so many years. The Qing soldiers joined the Beiyang Army and finally arrived at the National Weapon Army to fight. It was very smooth, but this hand-to-hand battle made it impossible to use all experience. The two sides met on a narrow road and the strong won. The opponent of "Old Youzi" was a British soldier of five big and three thick. This British soldier was yelling while fighting with "Old Youzi".
The two of them wrestled and rolled down the position from the top of the mountain for a while, and the "old oil" pressed the British under them for a while. The British pressed the "old oil" under them. Both sides held their breath and everyone knew what it means to relax.
During the fierce fight, the "Old Youzi" was pressed under the British soldiers again. The British grabbed his hands tightly and pressed them down hard to try to jamm his neck. "Old Youzi" used all his strength to hold the British hands. Both sides were panting and rolling on the ground.
Suddenly, the British hand broke free from the "Old Youzi"'s hand. The exhausted "Old Youzi" screamed and felt a huge pain in his eyes. One of his eyes was dug out by the British. The blood kept flowing down and rolling out hotly. In an instant, the "Old Youzi" turned over and pressed the British soldiers under his body. A mouthful of blood sprayed towards the British. The British dodged. The British opened their mouths and bit the British neck. The British hand grabbed the "Old Youzi"'s neck. Both sides could no longer move. They were still stalemate until everyone was angry at the same time.
No one noticed the cruel scene in this corner of the position.
The fierce battle was fought until dawn, most of the Chinese soldiers broke into the position. The subsequent troops continued to reinforce the situation and the Chinese army controlled the situation bit by bit with its tenacious will.
For the soldiers on both sides, this was the cruelest night. Captain Wilbur couldn't help but gasp when he looked at the positions that were full of casualties. This British army, known for fighting and fighting, once repelled the attacks of four Germans in the Battle of Verdun with a company, but they had to surrender in front of the Chinese.
The Wilbur finally gave the order to retreat. The Mike Donner Mountains' peripheral positions were lost before the British reinforcements arrived.
Major General Robert, who was responsible for defending the Mike Donner Mountains, was not available to punish the lost position. He knew that the Chinese attack on the main position of the Mike Donner Mountains was about to begin. He immediately ordered all his soldiers to be ready to welcome the charge of the Chinese army at any time.
Sure enough, the Chinese army that won the victory immediately launched an attack on the main position of the Mike Donner Mountains without any delay. The First Regiment of the First Division was the first regiment for the main attack mission.
The regiment concentrated the attack on the east and south. As the rumbling of the mortars sounded, the east and south of the Mike Donner Mountains were immediately trapped in a sea of fire.
What is inevitable is that the British Infantry Regiment camp troops occupied an important mountain. They equipped a large number of heavy machine guns to defend tenaciously. The Second Battalion of the First Regiment of the National Defense Force, which was responsible for the attack mission, launched the most fierce attack on the British defenders on this mountain.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Company served as the first attack echelon. They shouted loudly and rushed to the British position, but the British army arranged two entire companies on the front. The dense firepower of the enemy quickly suppressed the company underground.
The 2nd Battalion Commander, the battalion commander Guo Yu, was born in the decisive battle in the Northeast. He ordered the artillery squad to immediately destroy the firepower points of the enemy blocking the attacking route.
The artillery squad immediately pulled several mortars to the front of the position, and adjusted the shooting angle, and all the shells were fired in succession. The firepower point of the British army was blown up. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the company rushed up bravely again. This time, the British could no longer resist the charge of the Chinese soldiers. They were defeated.
Seeing this highland named 2 fall into the hands of the Chinese, Major General Robert was extremely anxious that once the highland was firmly secured by the Chinese, it would be stuck like a thorn in the British's complete position that the British finally arranged was absolutely unbearable.
The anxious Major General Robert immediately organized 500 people to start counterattacking the 2 Highlands.
The battle situation was unpredictable. The British army, who had just been defending, became an attacker in a blink of an eye, and the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Company of the Chinese National Defense Forces, who had just seized positions from the British, became a defender again.
The company had already prepared its momentum. Because the mountains were steeper, the soldiers threw grenades from the cliffs at the enemy below, and several machine guns blocked several gentle places that were easy to climb. Although the British soldiers advanced hard, they could not move forward under the tenacious obstacles of the Chinese soldiers.
After attacking several times in a row, Major General Robert saw his side's casualties and had to give up his attempt to regain the 2 high ground. Faced with the surging Chinese soldiers, he ordered the contraction of the defense line to seek assistance from General Casset.
While the Mike Donner Mountains attack and defense battle was underway, the Allies were having a heated discussion at Australia's Supreme Command to save the current precarious situation in Australia.
The dissatisfied British General Elham Stner, who guarded the Mike Donner Mountains with a gloomy face, was the two of them trained to have a very deep friendship. Now Major General Robert is suffering from the endless benefits of the Chinese people. The attack troops are beaten to pieces and waiting for rescue.
Lieutenant General Bashik Bechia's face also showed displeasure on his farmer-like face. The French troops were not as good as that. The 98th Regiment of the French Infantry Division was at this moment, Mount Cagnit forced the attack of at least two Chinese regiments. Lieutenant General Bechia was particularly indignant that he could not draw a force to rescue the trapped 98th Regiment. He repeatedly made the most intense requests to commander-in-chief General Cassett, but the general refused on the grounds that the troops were insufficient. He actually asked the 98th Regiment to break through on his own. This British old man who should be killed wanted to escape unscathed by the Chinese iron barrel siege, which was simply a fool. Is it a dream that only the lives of British soldiers, the most precious lives of the French are not worth the money?
General Kasset, the commander-in-chief of the Allies in Australia, was also extremely upset at this time. At this time, he had completely forgotten the Haikou that he boasted when receiving the mission. "As long as the Chinese dared to attack, he would be confident that he would stick to Australia for more than a year!"
Lieutenant General Stern also looked at the general intentionally or unintentionally. General Cassett also promised in person that "the Chinese corpses should be filled with every corner of Australia. But now the corpses are everywhere are all over the field. The current situation of the gentlemen of the Allied Army is very clear." Although the commanders were shrouded in a miserable fog, Lieutenant General Cassett was still talking eloquently, encouraging the morale of his subordinates. "We must change the current combat plan. The Chinese offensive is too fierce. In Australia, according to conservative estimates, they have invested at least more than 500,000 troops and there is a steady increase in momentum. We now need to concentrate our troops to defend a certain important strategic location and look forward to our help to us."
