"They have reinforcements coming over again! From the looks of it, the troops from earlier had already retreated!”
Han Ling was still carefully observing with a pair of binoculars.
Because he wanted to control the progress of the entire battlefield, he needed to understand the situation in detail.
"Marshal! Does that mean our 5th Regiment can go up?”
Hearing Han Ling's words, Wang Chenggang felt like he was about to launch a real attack.
"Cheng Gang, why are you so anxious? Didn't I tell you? Now, just stay here. If I tell you to go, go again. What's the rush now?”
Han Ling rolled his eyes.
"Hehe! Marshal, I just want to prove myself!”
Wang Chenggang chuckled.
"Prove yourself? You have a chance! Continue to stay here!"
Han Ling glared at him and then picked up his binoculars to look at the battlefield.
After the 1st Battalion of the Jinsui Army had been replaced, another company of the 2nd Battalion and another company of the 3rd Battalion were defending the front.
Both sides were still shooting at each other.
However, the casualties of the Jinsui Army were very high.
"Damn it! How did the Pingyuan Army train themselves? Their marksmanship was so f * cking good! The cannon is also very accurate."
At this moment, Wang Ming's subordinate, the second battalion commander, was hiding in the trenches and cursing in a low voice.
If he hadn't shrunk his head back quickly, his head would have exploded.
He was puzzled. The Pingyuan Army hadn't been around for long, but look at the quality of their soldiers. There was no way to compare!
The elite troops on his side were all suppressed.
"Battalion Commander, the Second Company Commander is dead. This war cannot continue like this! Our casualties are too great."
At this moment, a second lieutenant officer crawled up to the second battalion commander and shouted.
"What is it? The second company commander was killed? Now, I appoint you as the acting company commander of the second company. No matter how many casualties there are, we must continue fighting.
It was already past five in the afternoon. If we hold on for another two hours, the sky will probably turn dark and the Pingyuan Army will be pushed down. When the time comes, we'll request to withdraw and repair!”
The second battalion commander looked at the sky and then said to the second lieutenant.
"Yes, sir! Battalion Commander!"
He was the deputy company commander of the second company. He had just seen the second company commander's head explode with his own eyes. Only then did he crawl over and tell the second battalion commander that he hoped the second battalion commander could go to the regiment command center and request for them to withdraw.
The casualties were too great.
The opponent's firepower was also fierce. If this continued, the 2nd Battalion would be like the 1st Battalion, becoming a dispensable battalion.
The second battalion commander saw that the sky was about to darken, and so did Han Ling.
"It's getting dark! He ordered the Heavy Artillery Regiment to open fire and send them on their way before dark!”
At this moment, Han Ling finally gave the order to fire.
The Heavy Artillery Regiment, which had been silent for a few hours, fired again.
Howitzer shells and cannon shells flew towards the Jinsui Army.
What followed was a series of earth-shaking tremors.
Wang Ming, who was in the regiment command post, felt this shock and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is this the power of a heavy cannon?"
Wang Ming couldn't help muttering to himself as he felt the tremors.
At this moment, Han Ling, who was below, was no longer observing the position of the Jinsui Army.
Instead, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on it.
"It's 5:20!"
Han Ling muttered to himself as he looked at the time.
"Men! Pass down the order, order the 1st regiment to launch a true frontal attack on the Jin Suijun's position. It would be best if they could break through the Jin Suijun's position and then retreat! Also, order the Heavy Artillery Regiment to stop firing in five minutes!”
Han Ling put down his wrist and said to the guard beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
Five minutes later, the Heavy Artillery Regiment stopped firing, and the soldiers of the First Regiment took advantage of the last period of time to slowly approach the Jinsui Army's position.
The moment the bombardment stopped, they began to quickly attack the Jinsui Army.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Suijin Army were still in a daze from the bombardment of the heavy artillery.
When the soldiers of the First Regiment were 50 meters away from their position, they finally reacted.
They began to stand up and counterattack in the trenches.
However, although their trenches were called trenches, many places had been flattened by the 105mm cannons.
Other than the vague outline of the trench, there was nothing else that could tell that it was a trench.
However, they didn't care if this was a trench or not.
Facing the Pingyuan Army at such a distance, they could only pull the triggers of their weapons.
The sporadic gunshots rang out in the Jinsui Army's position.
Why were there sporadic gunshots?
What about the heavy and light machine guns?
It was blown up!
They were all blown up by the Pingyuan Army.
The mortars and grenade launchers of Pingyuan's army were not to be trifled with.
They wouldn't let the heavy and heavy machine guns of the Jinsui Army remain on the battlefield.
The Shansi-Suiyuan Army, which did not have any light and heavy machine guns, was quickly charged up by the Pingyuan Army.
"Kacha ~ Kacha ~"
The sound of a bayonet being fixed could be heard.
A hand-to-hand battle immediately began.
It was 5:30 in the afternoon.
The weather in June was already starting to heat up.
At this time of the day, the sky would usually turn dark around seven o'clock in the afternoon.
It was half-past five, which meant that there was still one to two hours before the sky turned dark.
"Guild Leader! Not good! The Pingyuan Army has already attacked our position and is currently engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the 2nd Battalion. Our brothers can't hold on any longer. Regiment Commander, quickly send reinforcements!”
At this moment, in Wang Ming's command post, he was wondering why the Pingyuan Army had suddenly stopped firing when a Jinsui Army soldier with blood on his face ran in.
"What did you say? They've attacked our position?"
Wang Ming's eyes widened as he looked at the Jinsui Army running in.
Then, he took a deep breath and asked,"How many of them are attacking?”
"Four hundred people! However, their fighting ability was very strong. Even three or four of our soldiers might not be able to exchange for one of them!”
As the Jinsui Army soldier said this, he seemed to see the sunken Pingyuan Army soldiers stabbing their own soldiers with their bayonet, then pulling it out and continuing to search for their next target.
