As the battle between the two armies entered a stalemate, the losses on both sides became more and more severe.
This was especially true for the Han army. Due to the lack of military equipment and their poor individual combat ability, the losses of the Han army were three to four times that of the Japanese.
Faced with the Japanese's artillery bombardment, the defense line outside the city was getting weaker and weaker.
The corpses of the Han army lay on the cold ground, but no one cared.
One by one, the heavily injured soldiers fell into the trenches and groaned, but no one paid any attention to them.
This was war. War was a terrifying meat grinder.
Humans were too insignificant to it.
It wasn't that no one had seen all of this.
It was because they did not have the time to do all of this. If they delayed, it could lead to their own death or even the failure of the war. The losses would be even more incalculable.
Da da!
Bang! Boom!
The battle continued.
" Leader, we…can't hold on any longer…"
"We have to defend even if we can't.”The regiment commander pressed the trigger of the heavy machine gun with both hands.
Da da!
"Guild Leader, our brothers are almost all dead.”
Of course, the regiment commander knew that he had suffered heavy losses, but he still couldn't help but glance at his side. A regiment of nearly 1,000 people was now only left with a battalion of soldiers.
The gunshots were also getting rarer.
"Damn it, I don't care about this. If the higher-ups didn't say to retreat, then don't f * cking retreat.”
"Remember, if I die in battle, then you, as the second battalion commander, will be the commander. Even if you want to nail me, you have to nail our brothers here.”
"Yes." The second battalion commander shouted.
"Go get the bullets for me. Damn it, there's no more bullets.”
Hearing this, the 2nd Battalion Commander turned around to look for the machine gun bullets. To be honest, even he himself did not know where the machine gun bullets were. They were quickly buried.
Boom!
Not long after the 2nd Battalion Commander left, a cannonball landed behind him.
The second battalion commander was shocked and hurriedly looked behind him.
"Guild Leader…"
He saw that his regiment commander's legs had been blown off and he was lying in a pool of blood.
The 2nd Battalion Commander who rushed forward hugged his regiment commander and shouted,""Guild Leader, Guild Leader…wake up.”
"Ahem…"
Blood flowed out from the corner of the captain's mouth.
"Guild Leader!"
"You…you…must…guard…guard…"
Before he could finish, the commander closed his eyes.
"Guild Leader!" The second battalion commander cried out loudly. He knew what the regiment commander meant. He wanted him to take over the command and defend the position.
This tragic scene kept appearing at the four gates of Lu State.
In the headquarters.
Noisy voices rose and fell.
There were calls reporting the situation everywhere.
"Commander, we can't hold on outside the city anymore.”
"Where's the reserve team? Let the reserve team go. We have to defend until tomorrow. Otherwise, Luzhou City will definitely fall.”Li Yun said with a headache.
At this moment, he really had no other choice. The only leverage left was Liu Xiao, but he was too far away and the situation was unknown...
As for his side, their ammunition was being consumed too quickly. Their military supplies were already unable to hold out for this battle.
Everything was a sign that he was about to fail.
"Send an order to the surrounding counties of Lu Province to evacuate the people.”
"Commander, this…"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. If we can't protect Lu Province, we'll all have to die. Who cares about our reputation if we die!”
"Let those people at the headquarters fight and cause trouble. If this continues, sooner or later, they will die.”
As he spoke, Li Yun picked up the helmet and submachine gun on the table and shouted,"Brothers, let's go and kill the enemy.”
"Yes."
The staff of the command center, who were already prepared, picked up their weapons and walked out, except for a few staff officers who stayed behind.
They were leaders and officers, but they were not afraid of death.
