Chen Yaoer looked at the endless Indian soldiers on the grassland and couldn't help but tremble.
The number of Indian coalition forces in front was simply too large and daunting.
Chen Yao'er is a third-class private and a subordinate of Boss Wei. He and Boss Wei's company are stationed on the slopes on the east side of Elephant Ear Mountain, hiding in the shallow trenches that have just been dug. To his left and right, are
The Huben Army's circular front stretched for more than ten miles.
There were a total of 85,000 troops on the front line of the Huben Army. They dug trenches in three directions, northwest and south, depending on the terrain for defense.
However, the trenches of the Huben Army were dug very shallow, with a width of no more than one meter. It was basically impossible to walk and communicate in the trenches, and they only had the most basic function of shielding shell fragments.
The reason why it was so crude and hasty was that the Indian coalition attacked very suddenly. The Huben army had no information provided by the local people and could only rely on scouts spread over a wide area. However, the Indian coalition took advantage of local operations and was very cunning.
Military scouts had not been able to pinpoint the specific location of the Indian army before.
It was not until the Indian coalition forces gave up hiding yesterday and rushed over from more than a hundred miles away that the Huben Army truly understood the enemy's troop deployment.
The preparations of the Huben Army were very hasty.
Inside and outside the trench, various personnel were running in a panic, carrying the ammunition, fresh water and supplies needed to guard the trench into the narrow trench. From time to time, various things fell from the arms of the soldiers and were picked up in a hurry.
Get up. Officers at all levels wearing military green officer uniforms were shouting orders and yelling, and the scene was a bit chaotic. The front-line soldiers did not rest for a moment, vigorously wielding the engineering shovel to dig the soil, which made the atmosphere even more chaotic.
Chen Yaoer glanced at the Indian coalition forces pressing over from a distance with a pale face. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the engineer shovel in his hand. He thrust the shovel into the soil in the trench, but accidentally shoveled it on a big stone. He felt
As soon as the tiger's mouth became numb, the shovel jumped out of the hand uncontrollably.
Chen Yaoer's body trembled, his legs felt weak, and he sat down on the ground with a plop. He suddenly couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears.
When the other soldiers around heard Chen Yao'er's cry, they all looked at Chen Yao'er with wide eyes and panic.
After a long time, a tall sergeant named Lu Du asked: "Chen Yao'er, why are you crying?"
Chen Yaoer banged his head on the dirt on the edge of the trench and shouted loudly: "It's over! It's over. There are more than 80,000 of us surrounded by 600,000 people. Eight of them beat one of us. This time it's really over."
Chen Yao'er's words made all the soldiers tremble.
Although the situation is indeed dangerous, what you think in your heart and what others say are two different things. If you think about it in a dull manner, you will still doubt that what you are thinking is wrong. As long as the officer commander directs calmly, the panic in the heart of an individual soldier will be calmed down by the calm officer.
The infection gradually calmed down. But if the soldiers communicated with each other about their panic and confirmed the current danger to each other in words, it would amplify the panic of a single soldier several times.
Therefore, soldiers in the army are often not allowed to speak or look around during battle.
Now that the Huben Army was surrounded by the Indian coalition forces, the soldiers heard Chen Yaoer's howl, and their panic level skyrocketed.
Chen Yaoer glanced at Lu Du, tears kept flowing down like spring water, and said loudly: "We alone have attacked all the way to the inland more than 3,000 miles away from the coast. The supply line is so long. The number of Indian coalition troops is 600,000.
There are so many, we can only defend but not attack. As long as the Central Asians encircle our front, our supplies will not be transported at all..."
After all, Chen Yao'er has been in the army for five years. Although he has always been a private soldier because of his timidity and incompetence, he still knows the various elements of war. Compared with other soldiers around him, Chen Yao'er, who is more senior, understands how the battle is fought better.
.So as soon as he said his words, the soldiers around him became even more panicked.
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other for a while, their faces turning pale.
Although the Tiger and Ben troops have undergone rigorous training, they are still human beings. No matter how iron-blooded the army is, it is composed of ordinary people, and humans will be afraid of death. Now 85,000 Tiger troops have penetrated deep into the interior of northern India, fighting against an enemy
With no one around to help, the situation was truly suffocating.
Chen Yaoer suddenly fell to the ground and rolled in the trench. As he rolled, he shouted: "Mother! My mother! My mother only has one son. I have to go back to Tianjin to give my mother a son."
I don’t want to die in this damned India!”
"Your Majesty, you are so wise, you have really lost your mind this time! This is not about conquering India, it is asking us to come to India to die!"
Seeing Chen Yao'er's appearance, all the soldiers around him were infected. Some of them were already looking left and right in panic, as if their fighting spirit to fight to the death was no longer stable.
Some soldiers grabbed engineering shovels and sat on the ground with solemn expressions. The morale of dozens of Tiger Army soldiers was sinking little by little.
At the critical moment, Boss Wei rushed over with a pistol raised.
Seeing a group of soldiers gathered around Chen Yao'er, Boss Wei knew something was wrong. But when he rushed close to these people with a pistol raised, Boss Wei realized the seriousness of the situation.
Boss Wei pushed away the crowd, grabbed Chen Yao'er on the ground, and punched Chen Yao'er firmly in the face, causing Chen Yao'er's nose to bleed everywhere.
Boss Wei grabbed the collar of Chen Yao'er's military uniform and cursed loudly: "Chen Yao'er, you have been a soldier for five years, but you have taken it seriously? A little Indian soldier scared you like this."
.”
Chen Yao'er's face was full of tears and nosebleeds. He glared at Boss Wei and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, there are 600,000 Indian coalition troops outside, and we only have 80,000 people. We have guns and they have guns, and we have cannons for them."
There are also cannons, Boss Wei! How do you think this battle will be fought?"
Chen Yaoer couldn't control his tears. He shouted and cried loudly, as if he was about to die in battle. He shouted loudly: "Boss Wei, you are a straight thief! How do you want to fight?"
Boss Wei looked at the soldiers around him and found that their faces were becoming more and more frightened.
Boss Wei angrily pointed his pistol at Chen Yao'er's head, widened his eyes and cursed: "Chen Yao'er! If you dare to say another word, I will shoot you right now!"
Chen Yao'er has been with Boss Wei for five years. He was a soldier of Boss Wei when Boss Wei was a squad leader, and they were quite close friends. But he didn't believe that Boss Wei would just kill him like this. He looked at Boss Wei with wide eyes, and actually
He confronted Boss Wei with the muzzle of his pistol.
The surrounding soldiers looked at this scene and didn't know what to do. There was no sound at all near the trench dozens of meters away.
Boss Wei's face turned white and red, and he almost pressed the trigger on his hand.
Suddenly, Lu Du turned his head back and looked behind him.
Everyone was attracted by Lu Du's movements and turned their heads to look back.
Boss Wei grabbed Chen Yao'er and looked into the distance, but couldn't see clearly. He shouted angrily: "What's the sound? What's so noisy?"
Lu Du suddenly became excited and shouted: "Company commander, it's an infantry fighting vehicle!"
"The infantry fighting vehicle is coming!"
Boss Wei was stunned.
About five miles away from Boss Wei, the soldiers in the rear suddenly burst into cheers, and they all raised their hands and cheered.
Boss Wei and the soldiers around him waited in stunned silence. After waiting for more than ten minutes, they finally saw countless infantry fighting vehicles holding up their cannon barrels and machine gun barrels, spraying black smoke, and heading towards the front of the battlefield.
