For more than 600 officers and soldiers of the first battalion who were working hard to build blocking positions at various commanding heights in the mountainous areas, the upcoming bloody battle made them feel a little trembling. They might die in the last battle in the eastern war zone of Lingpizhou, but they were the last iron gate that blocked the 77th infantry revolver of the Black Hawk Empire Army.

As long as they block here, the more than 2,000 Black Hawk Imperial Army on the Beizhaoguan front line would have no way to escape. In front of the highway, there were the Independent Regiment’s Death Battalion and the Panshi Battalion, behind them were the 66th Regiment and the 17th Division. The regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao had called the first battalion. After 15 minutes of shelling, the Beizhaoguan front line would have a full-scale counterattack.

The final victory is right in front of you.

But for Colonel Luo Min, it was undoubtedly an unspeakable torture.

Since he sat on the horse's back and saw the terrifying fireballs rising from his position through a telescope, he knew that this battle had been lost. His current goal was not how to save the defeat that was already doomed in this battle, but how to take the more than 1,600 imperial officers and soldiers under his command to leave the mountain and return to Kawasini Castle.

Colonel Luo Min was undoubtedly a very decisive person. Before the division headquarters could reply, he ordered the entire army to abandon the baggage. Even his beloved Daqing Horse was shot five times in a row by him with a pistol to express his determination.

Except for the thirteen tanks of the chariot brigade that refused to abandon the chariot, they still stubbornly drove along the highway like lonely knights toward Luojin County, like moths blowing fire. The rest of the 77th Infantry Regiment abandoned the chariots and carried only a few pack horses carrying heavy machine guns and mountain cannons and infantry cannons. They resolutely left the main road and headed into the mountains along the mountain path where only one person could walk. Although the road in the mountain area was difficult to walk, he was very confident.

Trust, walking on the highway will definitely be a dead end. Not to mention that the Kingdom people have occupied the position of the stupid 26th Artillery Corps. The 75mm field cannon and 105 howitzers are devastating to him on the road. The Kingdom people will definitely set up blocking positions at the appropriate location of the highway. When he attempts to open up the lifeline with his life, the Kingdom troops in the direction of Beizhaoguan will arrive. By that time, it will be too late to run away.

Only vast mountains are the only way to live. No matter how powerful the kingdoms' army is, it will not be deployed in the mountains!

His choice was very correct. He walked two miles in the mountains for more than ten minutes, but there was no enemy. The only thing that could stop them from moving forward was the steep mountain. However, that was nothing compared to the terrible bullets, and his morale had rebounded. Although he had never said anything from the captain of the corps to the captain of the brigade, the Black Hawk Army, which was extremely obedient to the orders of the upper peak, was not a fool. He hurriedly returned to the army and mobilized, but the artillery fire in the direction of Yinghong in the direction of Beizhao Pass was not on the small hill that they dreamed of captaining, and the order to abandon precious supplies and abandon the road and enter the mountain area, which meant one thing----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The powerful imperial army was defeated and embarked on the road to escape. This was undoubtedly bad news for the Black Hawk Army, which had already been frightened on the front line of Beizhao Pass.

Although they were not as powerful as they were in Beizhao Pass, they were always attacking and defending the kingdoms. Even if they couldn't get in, the kingdoms were not able to take half a step out of their position. The imperial army always took the initiative, and whether to retreat or advance was determined by the powerful imperial army.

But now, it was a shame that he had been defeated and began to flee. The 77th Infantry Regiment may have never been so morale since its establishment. The only thing that made them a little happy is that the road to escape was not the early morning scenery of the Kingdom Mountains, but the threat of gunfire. If this could be maintained, at sunset, they would cross the damn mountain and return to the plains.

No matter what, life can be saved.

Unfortunately, this only relief was destroyed by the vanguards who were leading the main force one mile away. The fierce gunfire sounded through the valley a mile away made Colonel Luo Min’s face pale. Five minutes later, the report from the soldier with sweat and bitter face made his face look ugly as if he had eaten a lump of flying.

A fifteen vanguard team was killed in just two minutes. On the mountain road of reconnaissance, the condescending kingdoms fired with machine guns without any scruples. The 100-meter-long mountain road below made the imperial warriors nowhere to hide. Most of them fired only two shots and were killed mercilessly by the kingdoms. If the sergeant had not jumped into the bushy ravine and escaped from the sky because he fell to the last place, he would have no chance to report military information to the regiment captain.

Luo Min, who looked extremely ugly, knew that the kingdom people so resolutely launched a devastating attack on a small team, and their purpose was nothing more than to tell him that this road was not clear.

The road is blocked, but does he still have the chance to leave the mountainous area and return to the highway? When he ordered the entire army to turn around and return, the Kingdom army in the direction of Beizhaoguan may have come here. Set up the machine gun and wait for him! For Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who is still on the front line of Beizhaoguan, and the first infantry brigade with more than 400 troops under his command, Luo Min didn't think they could withstand the Kingdom people for more than twenty minutes.

It is not a question of the combat power of the Empire Warriors, but from the beginning, the 77th Infantry Regiment never thought that the kingdoms would have the courage to counterattack on their positions from top to bottom. The trench 1.5 meters deep may also be able to defend against the kingdoms' 75 mountain cannons, but in the face of the huge power of the 105 howitzer that once belonged to the Empire was a little better than lying on the wild ground.

In the more than ten minutes from giving up the road to entering the mountainous area, the whistling of shells on his head never stopped, which also means that the crazy artillery bombardment of the kingdoms had lasted for more than fifteen minutes. Although he didn't want to admit it, Luo Min still had to accept a reality painfully. The two infantry squadrons he left at Beizhao Pass almost never waited for the kingdoms to appear and were wiped out.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At the beginning of the radio station that belonged to the First Infantry Brigade, he sent a letter of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei's extremely sad death, but there was no reply, which confirmed Luo Min's judgment.

Luo Min had a rich experience in the army, and he was not wrong at all. His First Infantry Battalion and Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who was famous for his coldness, were unable to withstand the bombardment of nearly 180 shells over 15 minutes. Moreover, what the Black Hawk Army on the front line of Beizhaoguan encountered was not only the 105 howitzers, but also the full-speed shelling of 6 Bofos Mountain cannons.

It was far more difficult than Luo Min imagined. Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who had always regarded the lives of his officers and soldiers as if nothing had happened, wisely sent a farewell message to the corps headquarters in the first minute of the shelling. Otherwise, he would not know if he would have a chance to express his loyalty to His Majesty to his superiors.

Because the artillery fire of the kingdom people is too exaggerated.

After receiving the firing order from the regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao to counterattack the entire army in 15 minutes, Zhao Ergou had prepared three base shells for 6 Bofors mountain cannons. The Bofors mountain cannon with a firing rate of 25 rounds per minute must complete the firing rate of about 8 rounds per minute, but it was the same as playing. However, the Black Hawk Army, whose 720 rounds of shells were dropped onto the head of the Independent Regiment Artillery Battalion, had no worries about firing, was in trouble.

In just fifteen minutes, the No. 400 Black Hawk Army on the front line of Beizhao Pass encountered nearly 900 shells, and the density was much stronger than their bombing of the Kingdom's position. Now, I can only describe it by being unable to bear to look at it.

The semi-ring position, which is only 1,000 meters wide, trembling under dense artillery fire. The strong smoke completely covered the Black Hawk Army's position. No one could see what kind of blow the Black Hawk Army suffered on the Black Hawk Army's position. Anyway, the crazy shelling was really called the earth and the mountain. Even the land on the Beizhaoguan position, which is more than 1,000 meters away from the Black Hawk Army's position, was shaking. The encounter of the Black Hawk Army's position at the center of the shelling can be imagined.

Only those who have experienced artillery bombardment know that when the strong earth is like a turbulent sea, it is not the most terrifying thing to lie on the ground, the energy of the shell explosion roars in his ears, and the bodies of companions who can be seen in his vision are torn apart silently, and even the roar before death is destroyed in the louder explosion sound, and you can only wait for death that will come in the next second.

That kind of waiting for death is the most terrifying thing.

Including Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who was hiding in the underground bunker headquarters, was also waiting for death. The strong smoke of artillery fire had blocked all vision, and the brigade headquarters was shaking wildly in the artillery fire.

Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei's brigade headquarters not only had camouflage but also had logs and a sandy layer of half a meter thick. It was transformed overnight after discovering that the 75 mountain cannons of the kingdom people could also bombard them. As long as it was not too unlucky, it would not be done if it was hit by a 6.5-kilogram projectile of 75 caliber mountain cannon. However, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei knew that this was not enough to ensure that he and more than 20 brigade personnel with a terrified look could survive after the war.

Since the moment the 105 howitzer fireball bloomed on the position, he knew that it was all over. Not only his first infantry brigade, but also more than 1,000 people from the corps that had already gone far away, this place has become a stage for the kingdom people. The Empire Warriors have become clowns who struggled to escape in their pursuit.

In the darkness where the earth was shaking, tears of humiliation fell from the corners of his eyes, and Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei was silently waiting for the impending death.

His waiting didn't last long.

When a 105 howitzer happened to visit here, the half-meter-thick sandy layer was easily penetrated, and nearly 16 kilograms of projectiles hit the log and exploded after passing through the sandy layer.

The brigade headquarters, which can accommodate more than 40 people, was blown into a large pit with a diameter of 10 meters and 3 meters deep. The logs as thick as an adult's waist have long disappeared, and even the bodies cannot be seen. Only the blood stains that were smeared around the wall of the pit, which was a little blackened by the high temperature. It also proves that there were more than 20 people here. Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, his communications soldiers and the brigade's field radio station, turned into ashes.

At this time, it was just five minutes after the shelling, and the rest of the Black Hawk Army, who were just hiding in the 1.5-meter-deep trench and the poor single-soldier anti-cannon hole, had to go through ten minutes of hell.

I don’t know how many lucky people are lucky enough to escape this disaster.
