From morning to afternoon, the gun battle between the two sides continued, with no one willing to take a step back.
Both the enemy and ours consume a lot of ammunition, and their respective casualties are also not small.
Zhang Yi asked Xiao Han to send 10,000 new troops to support Chen Yiyi and replace the injured.
Xiaoliu sent out the Detachment of Women to establish a field hospital behind the battlefield for treatment.
A bullet passed by and made a bloody gash on Chen Yiyi's left arm. After a simple bandage, Chen Yiyi returned to the front line and continued to command.
In this brutal gun battle, our army lost more than two thousand soldiers, and as many as six or seven thousand were injured.
The enemy suffered more casualties, at least twice as many as our army.
"I'm so sad, Brother Yi," Xiao Liu was busy in the field hospital for a while, then ran to Zhang Yi's side on horseback and said with tears in her eyes, "It's not an option to continue fighting like this. There are too many wounded to treat!"
Zhang Yi comforted Xiao Liu with a few words, modern war is so cruel, you can't see the other side, but a bullet shot from nowhere can kill someone.
Despite the trench cover, the enemy launched several crazy charges, causing heavy casualties to our army.
"Brother Yi, let us go into battle!" Shi Gandang asked.
Zhang Yi shook his head, it's not yet time.
Seeing that Shi Gandang was a little restless, Xiaolong explained.
"It is best to maintain the current battle situation and let the enemy think that if they work harder, they will have hope of defeating our army. In addition, the main force of Little China has not yet appeared. Who knows which city gate hundreds of thousands of troops will rush through.
come out?"
"Yes, Xiaolong is right, you all should stay calm!" Zhang Yi agreed, "Brother Chen is tenacious in fighting and has good command. Let him contain the main force of the coalition forces on the battlefield. The enemy will continue to dispatch troops. We
We must keep reserve teams and be ready to fight."
Shi Gandang understood and nodded.
At this time, the two cavalry units of Niuben and Aser controlled the north and west gates, but their troops were weak and could not withstand the impact of enemy guns or superior troops.
This modern war before our eyes has taught everyone a lesson.
Bravery is no longer the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat. In future wars, the power of guns and artillery will become crucial. To match this, new tactics must be adopted.
Right now, it's just about persistence.
Our army defended the position with difficulty, and the number of artillery shells and bullets became less and less.
The enemies are just as difficult.
They were trapped on the vast battlefield between Lin'an City and the trenches, unable to advance or retreat.
Our wounded can still receive timely treatment, but the enemy can only lie on the ground waiting to die. Anyone who dares to stand up will be shot accurately by our army.
A field of blood.
The living Japanese were hiding among the dead. Suffering from despair, hunger, thirst and exhaustion, they would occasionally pick up their loaded muskets and shoot, emitting a stream of white smoke and fire.
It seems that there are still a lot of them.
After being supplemented by 10,000 new troops, Chen Yiyi was able to let the soldiers take turns to rest. There was no shortage of water and food, and they were all piled up in the trenches.
In general, our army is determined and can persist until the moment of victory.
…
The commanders of the Six Nations hiding on the city wall were like ants on a hot pot.
Marshal Prabhayan of the Mauryan Dynasty had lost his voice. He stared at the battlefield with big blood-red eyes and looked at the battlefield in frustration. All 20,000 elite cavalry fell in a pool of blood, leaving only the dying horses struggling and wailing miserably.
He was really used as cannon fodder, rushing in to die when the enemy's firepower was the most intense.
Marshal Prabayan was unwilling to give in. He remembered that he still had 20,000 sailors, so he shouted.
"Commander Kinsar, you can't just watch the coalition forces perished on this land. You should mobilize more troops to charge and kill them. You should bring in the navy and bombard Zhang Yi's army from the flanks!"
Commander Kinsale from the Kingdom of England woke up from a dream.
It's not that he didn't make a decision, it was that he felt that victory was within easy reach several times. When the coalition forces launched a charge, many people rushed into the trenches. Unexpectedly, they were driven back by the opponent's bayonets and engineer shovels.
Not to mention the lagging behind of guns and artillery, in several hand-to-hand battles, the coalition forces could not take advantage at all, and Commander Kinsale's dreams were shattered time and time again.
I have to admit that Zhang Yi's army was as hard as steel and indestructible in both long-range and close combat, which gave the coalition generals a chill in their hearts.
"They actually sent women to the battlefield. This is a mockery and insult to us!" Marshal Yermak of the Tsarist Empire said angrily.
The women's army shuttled back and forth, taking care of the wounded. Those girls looked very brave and beautiful.
"We must defeat Zhang Yi and capture those girls alive to comfort the imperial soldiers!" General Sato Kihara of the Yamato Empire gritted his teeth with a sinister expression, "Yes, Commander Kinsar, it's time for you to send out Li Haotang's army.
You should also mobilize the fleet to the coast to cooperate with our army in the battle!"
"I think Lord Kinsar should send Li Haotang's troops to fight out from the west gate, go around to the rear of the trench line at the south gate, and give Zhang Yi's army a fatal blow." Commander Von Braun of the German Empire suggested, "At the same time, cooperate with the United Nations
With the bombardment of the fleet, we will surely win!"
The supreme commander, Commander Kinsal, was convinced that German soldiers were always known for their calmness and bravery, and they proposed a wonderful plan.
The battlefield outside the south gate is in the midst of a fierce and tense tug-of-war. The Little Chinese Army is poorly equipped and will die in vain if they charge forward from the front.
Fighting in a roundabout way can distract Zhang Yi's army, and the coalition forces can take the opportunity to break through the trench defense line.
Therefore, Commander Kinsar ordered President Li Haotang to send all the main forces to attack from the west gate, repel the cavalry outside the city, and go around to the rear of the trenches. The task was to first destroy the field hospital, capture the girls, and attack them from the rear.
Zhang Yi's army launched an attack.
Li Haotang looked pale and accepted the order.
"Okay, I will personally lead the soldiers to kill!" he said.
"No, you are the president, you must stay in the city and just send Marshal Yang Ting to fight." The cunning Wu Liang said in a strange way.
Commander Kinsale nodded arrogantly, yes, the president must stay as a hostage.
Li Haotang, a man who once admired Western civilization and one of the founders of Little China, was completely angered at this moment!
The Western powers are not here to deliver civilization, technology and wealth, but they want to kill all China's brave men, ravage China's young women, and plunder China's country and resources.
He regretted that he did not see the true face of the Western powers earlier.
He regretted that he did not launch a charge when the enemy landed.
It's too late to regret now, but he still has a chance to fight, one last chance!
The supreme commander of Little China woke up in front of the battle and uttered a sentence.
"I will send Marshal Yang Ting to lead the main force to fight."
