The defenders of the three infantry regiments of the 43rd Army's three cities, east and south, were replenished with 800 baggage battalions soldiers and more than 1,600 new recruits, and the strength was basically not much changed compared with the previous day.

But the combat effectiveness has dropped by at least half, and the proportion of veterans and new recruits has increased from four to one a day ago to a terrible one to one.

The Black Hawk Army was naturally not much better. Last night, Wenzi left an infantry supplementary brigade to supplement the 6th Division with a full 5,000 supplementary troops. The four infantry regiments that suffered severe damage almost recovered to full capacity, but their combat effectiveness also inevitably declined.

During the street battle the next day, the two sides were like two giant beasts that were full and full of food but had become weak. They re-entered the arena where you either die or I live, and the battle was even more tragic than the previous day.

Not only because the proportion of recruits on both sides increased, and as soon as the battle started, the casualties of recruits increased rapidly due to experience issues, but also because in the morning, the information about the Independent Regiment's convoy getting closer and closer to Huangsucheng reached the 6th Division.

Although the Independent Regiment had to enter the mountains and fields frequently to fight against the Black Hawks planes due to the constant bombing and harassment of the Black Hawks in the sky, Ding Bewei knew that the reinforcements of the Kingdom people would eventually arrive.

If it were two days ago, Ding Beiwei might not have taken the Kingdom Army seriously. No matter what independent regiment or not, in front of the Sixth Division, which is known as the "strongest division on the surface", many people will be a dish. But after fighting in Huangsu City for the past two days, even if Ding Beiwei was unwilling to admit it, he still had to admit that the ten thousand people of the 43rd Army of the Kingdom in the city alone were enough to make him anxious. If a few thousand people came to the city, he would really have a headache, especially the independent regiment led by Liu Lang, a ruthless man who had defeated the 8th Division.

Therefore, he had to take down the entire city before the reinforcements of the kingdoms arrived. Even if he couldn't take down the whole, he had to take down at least half of them. Only in this way could he invest more troops and heavy firepower. As long as he was given space to display heavy firepower, it would be useless even if the kingdoms came to reinforcements.

From the moment of receiving the information, the crazy Dingbei Guard began to invest more infantry into the city. In addition to leaving an infantry brigade as a reserve, the two infantry brigades in the Xicheng District had all put in 5,000 troops. In the other two urban areas, one infantry brigade in each of the corps guards, all three infantry brigades entered the battlefield except for the guard squadron of the corps headquarters.

Infantry alone, Dingbeiwei invested 11 infantry brigades in three urban areas, totaling more than 10,000 people.

But this is not all. Ding Beiwei even divided the 36 field artillery pieces of the artillery corps into three directions: east and west and south to support the three cities in the east and south. It is not a shelling that is far away 6,000 meters away, but pulling the field artillery into the city wall to attack the target close to the shelling.

The artillery observer even climbed the balloon and observed the city only a thousand meters away from the front line, providing artillery coordinates, not only shelling buildings and streets that were guarded by the Kingdom soldiers, but also shelling buildings that might become command posts in the city, as well as kingdom mortars and mountain cannons.

This move was quite a bit like bayonetting the cannon, causing great losses to the kingdom soldiers in the city. When the Lieutenant General of the Army saw that Ding Beiwei almost made a trump card and directly studded, he no longer hid it. Not only did he use machine guns to shoot targets and shoot thousands of meters away from the Black Hawk artillery observer, but he also used 16 mountain cannons that had been hidden for a long time to counterattack the Black Hawk artillery.

The distance between the artillery soldiers on both sides is no more than 1,500 meters. Field artillery is against mountain artillery, mortar is against infantry artillery, Black Hawk Army has artillery observers who are not afraid of death, and kingdom has special forces who sneak into the battlefield to act as eyes, needles are against wheat, and bayonets are against bayonets.

Artillery, which was originally much lower than infantry death rate, had a much lower casualty rate than infantry artillery battles, but in this bayonet-style artillery battle, the casualty rate was much higher than that of infantry.

However, in the two-hour artillery battle, the 43rd Army's 16 mountain cannons were damaged by more than 12 battles, and only four mountain cannons hidden in the military building were still firing wildly.

The Kingdom artillery was almost wiped out.

That is, because the mortar is light, it can run away with a few shots before the Black Hawk Army's artillery fire comes. The loss is relatively small, but it also loses nearly 50%.

However, the Black Hawk Army was not much better. They took huge risks to observe the balloons at close range and became a living target for the machine guns hidden in the building. In the three cities of East and West, the Black Hawk Army lost more than 15 balloons, including artillery observers who could not escape the artillery that were thrown into meat sauce.

The 75-caliber field cannon with greater power and more difficult movements became the key target of the Kingdom Mountain cannon, and the precise coordinate reconnaissance of special forces became one of the main causes of their heavy losses. More than 18 field cannons were blown up.

Especially the terrifying artillery shells were exploded. The 300 artillery shells with an explosion range of 200 meters not only took away the lives of nearly a hundred Black Hawk artillery soldiers, but also exploded the highest commander of the Sixth Artillery Corps of the Black Hawk Army to ashes. It was also the second colonel officer of the 6th Division who died in the battle of Huangsucheng.

Even though, that wouldn't be the last one.

This was just the casualties of the artillery soldiers on both sides. The two sides invested a total of more than 20,000 infantry soldiers fighting selflessly in the city with an radius of only 2 square kilometers, and the casualties were even more terrible.

Both sides of the war had even stopped carrying the bodies of the dead of their own, because even the stretcher soldiers had already taken the battlefield with guns.

This battle can be said to be a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The casualties of artillery soldiers were basically ignored by the war reports, even if they were bleeding in their hearts; the highest commanders on both sides basically did not know the casualties of infantry soldiers. In fact, they did not want to know. They only knew to put their soldiers into the battlefield one after another.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kill the other party and advance (hold) your own position. The two highest commanders on both sides are doing what they want to do with their red eyes staring at the map.

Death has become the cheapest thing on this battlefield.

Even the most cowardly soldier has no fear of death after being used to death. It is not numbness to death, but numbness to survival. It is normal to die, but to live, but it is very unexpected.

According to the Blackhawk Empire war report several months after the war, on this day alone, the Sixth Division used 20 infantry cannons and 12 mountain cannons, 13 rapid-fire cannons and 36 field cannons participated in the shelling of Huangsucheng. A total of more than 13,000 shells of various types such as incendiary bombs, high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing shells, etc., almost all the shells stored in the Sixth Division have been consumed.

This kind of attack that was burning and overwhelming was also one of the reasons why the Black Hawk Army Base Camp finally attributed the defeat of the Sixth Division to Ding Beiwei's excessive radicalism.

After this day, the 6th Division's large and small caliber artillery not only had more than 30 combat losses, but more importantly, even if there were guns, there were not many shells. Unless they could wait until the baggage troops were replenished 10 hours later from the transport ship that was still anchored in Jiangbaicheng Bay.

It’s a pity that the Sixth Division failed to wait until that time.

In fact, although Ding Beiwei was crazy, he did not completely lose his mind. Faced with reinforcements that the Kingdom army could arrive at any time, he almost invested most of his troops in Huangsu City. However, the Black Hawk Empire Army Lieutenant General, who had a strength of 25,000, still had a reserve force of up to 3,000 people, composed of engineers, cavalry, baggage troops and division guards.

The 105 howitzers of the 6th Artillery Regiment under the division are still at the end. With 2,000 shells, they can knock any invading enemy into ashes. Moreover, there is an infantry brigade of the 114th Division near them, which can not only guard the artillery regiment, but also put them on the battlefield at any time.

Ding Beiwei, who has much stronger forces than the 43rd Army of the Kingdom, still retains nearly half of his strength, but forces Lieutenant General of the Kingdom Army to take out all his trump cards.

At the most intense time of the battle, the infantry regiment guarding the North City even ignored the danger that the Black Hawks might launch an attack from the North Gate and sent 7 of the nine infantry companies under their command through underground pipelines to support the most urgent Xicheng and Nancheng, respectively.

If the Black Hawk Army had spies in the 43rd Army, the north city of Huangsu City, which had only two infantry companies, would be like a paper barrier, without an infantry brigade, and only two infantry squadrons could penetrate through with one blow.

Unfortunately, the intelligence personnel of the Black Hawk Army are not that good. Not only is it difficult to learn Qiu Tongzhou dialect, but on this terrible battlefield, even spies are likely to be used as cannon fodder. The two yellow and blue military uniforms are signs of soldiers on both sides aiming and shooting, and it is not someone who shouts "Take you and dig quickly" to block the gun aiming at you.

Under the crazy attack of the Sixth Division, the 43rd Army consumed its vitality bit by bit and its position shrinks little by little. Even the commanders of each regiment began to take the pistol to supervise the formation in person.

In Xicheng District, where the Black Hawks Army was mainly attacked, Xie Yunsheng, the commander of the 48th Regiment, was killed at around 3 pm.

Liu Xueyuan, who was in the 48th Regiment command building, witnessed all this with his own eyes. In the battle diary of the Huangsucheng battle that day, she wrote: A company commander and less than a platoon of soldiers retreated back to the position near the regiment headquarters. The blood-faced lieutenant with no helmet was lowered and said something to the angry regiment commander Xie. I don’t know whether he was defending or asking for more soldiers, but I know that he must not be cowardly, because this is the third time he led his soldiers to the battlefield, but he still did not regain the position. The Black Hawk Army has attacked less than 200 meters away from the regiment headquarters. The entire Xicheng District defense line will be lost at some time.

Through the window, I could see the anger in Commander Xie's eyes 30 meters away, which was so hot that it could almost ignite the battlefield. He pulled out his pistol and fired, and shot the bullet at the lieutenant who turned around and was about to return to the battlefield. The lieutenant seemed to have not realized that he was shot, and ran a few steps in the direction of the battlefield before he fell to the ground. I had no idea how to describe my mood at that moment. Although I also knew that the military orders were like mountains and military laws were ruthless, I still couldn't understand Commander Xie's determination.

But I was wrong. Commander Xie took off his military uniform and covered him with a lieutenant who was shot to death by himself. Then, he stood in front of the team of soldiers with a pistol. He wanted to take the position of the lieutenant and complete the military order for him.

Military orders are like a mountain! Death is like home!

My mind was filled with eight words like this, and the rest was blank, but that was also the last time Captain Xie appeared in front of me.

A ball of fire rose up in front of my eyes, submerging Captain Xie, who rushed into the battlefield 50 meters away!
