Although both armies suffered heavy losses, the casualty ratio between Jiang Cheng's subordinates and the 35th division reached 1:7. It would be fine if this happened during normal times.
However, it was a pity that this was the time to race against time. Therefore, even if there were so many casualties, both sides did not plan to retreat. They were all desperately defending and attacking.
"Regiment Commander, we can't do it anymore. The casualties of our brothers are too great. According to the latest news, the other side has increased their troops. They have already reached the strength of two divisions.”
"Right now, tens of thousands of people are attacking us fiercely.”In the command center, the adjutant ran over to report the latest battle situation to Jiang Cheng.
"Tell the brothers to hold on. This is their last attack. As long as they can hold on, I'll ask for credit for them. Also, tell the brothers that reinforcements will arrive in an hour.”
After Jiang Cheng heard it, he immediately asked his adjutant to pass on the order, not caring if the news was true or not. However, he was right when he said that reinforcements were coming.
In fact, he had already reported to the higher-ups when the other party continued to send more troops.
The higher-ups also attached great importance to it. After all, even Jiang Cheng was highly regarded by the higher-ups. She couldn't let him die here.
Half an hour later, just as the 1st Regiment was retreating, a reinforced regiment from the 12th Division came to reinforce them.
In an instant, the entire defense line loosened up. The originally shaky defense line was now impregnable. The 35th and 36th divisions on the opposite side were also shocked and furious when they saw the reinforcements.
"Attack, don't stop. Take down the enemy at all costs. All soldiers, including the reserve team, press forward. We must take down the other party.”
The two division commanders of the other side had already gone crazy. The large number of Xia troops behind them had already caught up to them and were about to arrive. However, the defense line opposite them had not been broken through.
Now, they were risking their lives for him. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape in the end.
Under the relentless assault of the two enemy divisions, even Jiang Cheng's reinforcements suffered heavy losses.
Every minute, no, every second, the number of casualties of Jiang Cheng's soldiers increased exponentially.
Three hours later, Jiang Cheng's eyes were red as he led the regiment to the front line.
The enemy was simply too crazy, and they were bombarding the front line with their cannons, while the Vietnamese soldiers charged forward with bloodshot eyes.
In these six hours, Jiang Cheng's defense line had been broken through a few times. Fortunately, he was beaten back in the end.
The reinforcements also suffered heavy losses, losing hundreds of people in six hours.
This was something that no one had expected. At this point, Jiang Cheng no longer had any reserves. He brought the last remaining guard and went up.
The entire regiment, even the civilian officers, were given a submachine gun each to follow Jiang Cheng up.
It could be said that if the army at the rear did not come over, Jiang Cheng would not be able to hold on. And what were the consequences of not being able to defend it?
At that time, the Vietnamese army would open up a gap and at least a few hundred thousand soldiers would be able to escape. If such a thing happened, Jiang Cheng would definitely be shot by the military court.
Even if he wasn't shot, he would definitely be expelled from the army. There wouldn't be any future for him.
If they could hold it, it would definitely be a great merit. Not to mention, a Golden Sword Medal would not be a problem.
"Tata! Tata!" The machine guns in their hands kept firing, and the charging soldiers on the opposite side were continuously killed. Usually, a class or platoon would charge forward.
Three minutes. In just three minutes, such a combat unit would be wiped out. The battle between the two sides was too intense.
As the Vietnamese soldiers charged forward, they fell one by one, and none of them managed to advance.
"Adjutant, adjutant, call me and ask when the main force will arrive.”Jiang Cheng leaned against the trench and asked his adjutant as he reloaded his bullets.
"Yes, sir!" Soon, the adjutant ran back to the regimental headquarters to generate electricity.
"Brothers, hold them off. Our main force will be here soon. At that time, the other party will be like a turtle in a jar.”Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to cheer up his soldiers.
"Guild Leader, Guild Leader, good news." At this moment, the adjutant returned. Moreover, she had brought him good news.
"What good news?" When Jiang Cheng heard the good news, he was also full of vigor.
"The higher-ups have already sent accurate news. Two hours later, the 300,000 strong army arrived.”
"Hahahaha, the heavens won't give up on me. Quickly inform the entire team of this news. Tell them to hold on for two hours.”
After Jiang Chengye received the accurate news, he threw his head back and laughed loudly. This was because even the heavens did not want him to die. Reinforcements were actually coming so soon.
Very soon, this heartening news was spread throughout the entire army. The rest of the soldiers were all excited after hearing the news.
"Ahhhh!" Jiang Cheng let out a hysterical roar, then took over the heavy machine gun beside him and started firing.
Although he wasn't a regular heavy machine gunner, he had learned how to use heavy machine guns for a few days in the military academy. He didn't dare to say anything else, but it didn't matter if he was asked to open fire and kill.
Moreover, with Jiang Cheng's physique that was three times that of an ordinary person, controlling a heavy machine gun was really a piece of cake.
"Tututu!" He controlled the heavy machine gun to fire continuously. In any case, as long as the soldiers in front of him were killed by him.
" Be careful, the rocket." Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! After hearing this reminder, Jiang Cheng's extraordinary nerves reacted. He instantly pounced to the side and dodged the rocket bombardment.
Unfortunately, although the man was fine, the heavy machine gun was scrapped.
"F * ck, snipers, shoot their gunners.”
Boom! Boom! Boom! The crisp sound of a sniper rifle rang out. The soldier who had fired at Jiang Cheng just now had his head shattered.
Soon, two hours passed. After the last two hours of battle, the main force finally entered. When Jiang Cheng saw the large-scale artillery bombardment, he knew that he had defended.
Boom! Boom! The local positions were bombarded by the artillery.
"Kill them. Even if they die, I want them to die with me.”The commander of the 35th Division knew that he had no way out after being bombarded by the cannons.
He couldn't block the assault after the artillery bombardment, and today was the day he died for his country. However, even if he died, he would fight Jiang Cheng. If it wasn't for Jiang Cheng blocking him, he would have broken out of the encirclement long ago.
"F * ck, the Vietnamese army has gone crazy." Jiang Cheng could only sigh as he looked at the soldiers charging at his position despite the bombardment. However, this was exactly what he wanted. Since the other party wanted to die, why should he stop them?
