Chapter 968 Bloody Battle

"Swish, swish, swish~!" At this time, bursts of sharp whistling sounds came from the sky.

Mitsui Yujiro was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the shells about to fall from the sky.

"Hmm? Why does this sound unit feel like the sound of heavy artillery!"

"How is this possible? Why do they have heavy artillery?"

He knew there were Vickers cannons at the airport, but their range wasn't that far, and their caliber wasn't that large?

He is nearly twenty kilometers away from the airport. Even if the artillery positions move forward, it is impossible to hit them so accurately.

Unfortunately, while he was stunned, the shell did not give him time to think.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~!" A series of violent explosions shook the earth, and the shells of the 155mm heavy artillery fell to the ground with a rumble.

The long line of people was forcibly blocked, followed by the sound of heavy artillery falling.

"Get down, get down, and find cover!" Mitsui Yujiro finally reacted and roared loudly.

At this time, the three rounds of salvos ended, and the aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated. The dense sound of gunfire, like frying soybeans, suddenly resounded throughout the mountain pass.

The attack came from the jungle one hundred meters away on both sides of the road, which was just outside the red line of the Xiaori search team's alert and reconnaissance.

"Baga, enemy attack, enemy attack!" Mitsui Yujiro immediately realized that it was an enemy attack and ordered the entire team to enter combat status, while requiring the baggage troops to follow up immediately and prepare for artillery fire.

But his reaction was too late. In addition to the thousands of automatic rifles firing crazily, the 60mm and 82mm mortars also did not stop.

Thanks to Krupp's rigorous training, all three infantry battalions now have artillery. Although only a few people can fire, it is better than having nothing.

The whistling artillery shells hit the middle of Xiao Ri's marching troops. Mitsui Yujiro completely collapsed. He had been fighting too smoothly along the way and lacked practical experience, so he quickly panicked when facing the elite troops.

"Baga, retreat, retreat!" Mitsui Yujiro found something wrong. The power of this weapon must be a 155mm heavy artillery, so he immediately ordered a retreat.

Unfortunately, his dragon-like formation had already been divided into several small sections, so it was not so easy to retreat.

Moreover, they were facing the Sichuan Army, which was armed to the teeth, with mortar cover, M14 automatic rifles firing wildly, and grenade bombardments from time to time. These people had never seen such a powerful force before, and their morale suddenly dropped sharply.

"Didn't find the enemy's baggage train?" Lin Hao, who had been in command of the overall situation, did not find Xiao Ri's baggage train through the telescope, and asked in confusion.

"Maybe he didn't catch up, he should be behind!" Meng Fanle shook his head and said.

"Let's go, leave this to Snake Butt and the others, and we'll go deal with the baggage train!" Seeing that the situation was settled, Lin Hao said to Meng Fanle and Dong Dao.

"Yes!"

The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes. Under the attack of various firepower, the Xiaorizi Brigade, which had been struggling tenaciously, finally began to be unable to hold on.

Especially the light and heavy machine guns equipped with Xiao Rizi, there were less than half of them left, and the rest did not dare to show their heads. If they dared to show their heads, they would be subjected to heavy bombing by mortars.

Without the threat of light and heavy machine guns, Xiao Ri's combat effectiveness dropped rapidly. Mitsui Yujiro was very panicked and wanted to break through, but found that there were enemies on all sides.

"Damn, who is this person? Why are there so many mortars?" Mitsui Yujiro muttered to himself in disbelief.

He vaguely remembered the day when he first joined the army. His seniors told him that the enemies were a group of cowards who would only flee in panic when faced with the warriors of the empire. Each of them did not even have ten bullets, let alone artillery. However, every battle along the way was just as his seniors had said, a crushing victory.

But now, first the 155mm heavy artillery, then the mortars, and judging by the gunshots coming from all directions, the enemy seemed to have countless automatic rifles, which was simply unimaginable.

On the other side, Lin Hao led his team to the vicinity of Xiao Rizi's baggage department, but Xiao Rizi had not discovered them yet and was still trying to adjust the position of the artillery and prepare for fire support.

Then Lin Hao arranged nearly 300 people from the guard company and reconnaissance company and asked them to throw all the grenades within one minute.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~!" Grenades came like an overwhelming force.

"Boom boom boom!" The first round of nearly three hundred grenades exploded in the area where Xiao Rizi's baggage transport troops were located, leaving no grass wherever they went.

The Xiaori baggage troops, who were still adjusting the position of their artillery, completely collapsed in this wave of fierce grenade explosions, with only wailing and screaming to be heard!
"Close combat with pistol~!" Lin Hao shouted.

Nearly three hundred people from the guard company and reconnaissance company moved in unison, pulling out their pistols from their waists and loading them.

"Kill!" Lin Hao roared again.

Lin Hao had no intention of fighting with Xiao Rizi with a bayonet. After all, a gun is fast at a distance of seven steps, and is fast and accurate within seven steps. Only a sick person would fight with a bayonet.

Seeing Lin Hao taking the lead and rushing forward, Meng Fanle and several other guards surrounded him tightly and did not let him move forward at all.

"Get out of my way! Don't block me!" Lin Hao naturally wouldn't let Xiao Zi go after finally getting the chance to kill him.

"Commander, you just sit there and command the troops. We can handle things like this!" Meng Fanle didn't want to listen at all. If something went wrong, he would be scolded to death when he returned.

"Get out of here! Give me a small life!" Lin Hao was immediately unhappy. This kind of favorable situation where he could beat the man when he was down was not easy to come by, so he definitely couldn't let it go.

"Kill!"

"Bang bang bang~!"

"Fuck your little life...!"

With the regiment commander leading the charge, all the soldiers in the guard company and the reconnaissance company shouted charge slogans with high morale and followed suit to launch a general attack.

This was a brutal massacre. Faced with the fully armed Sichuan Army, the Xiao Ri Zi baggage troops were completely unable to fight back.

In fact, the troops of Xiaoshi, even the logistics troops, are very capable in hand-to-hand combat.

But the problem was that Lin Hao had no moral principles and launched two rounds of grenade bombardment right at the start, leaving all the soldiers with buzzing heads and rubbing their heads.

By the time they reacted, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army had already rushed to their front. Just as they were preparing for hand-to-hand combat, the Sichuan Army did not engage them in hand-to-hand combat, but instead took out pistols and engaged them in close combat.

"boom!"

Two bullets hit the chest and one shot to the head. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would have shaken his head. This was the Mozambique shooting method that Lin Hao taught to the Sichuan Army. After three bullets, even a god couldn't save him.

Therefore, wherever the soldiers of the Sichuan Army passed, there were no more wailing and screaming in daily life.

Fighting all the way from the front to the rear, the Xiaorizi baggage train that stretched for more than a hundred meters was completely annihilated by the unstoppable Sichuan Army soldiers.

"Search for the enemy and reload your guns, then return for support as soon as possible!" Lin Hao yelled at Meng Fanle after finishing off a small lieutenant.

"Yes, Commander." Meng replied angrily.

After dealing with the Xiao Ri Zi baggage unit, Lin Hao returned with his men again. On the battlefield, the remaining troops of Mitsui Yujiro were suppressed in a small area and could not move.

Seeing this, Lin Hao shouted fiercely:

"Immediately pass on my order. All the regiments should put on bayonets and charge with the horn as the main weapon. Follow me and kill them. Let Xiaori know that our Sichuan Army is not a coward."

"Yes!" The messenger who received the order was stunned by Lin Hao's order, but still saluted and turned away.

"Commander? Commander, what are you doing? We already have the advantage. If we slowly push them away, we will definitely be able to wipe them out." Meng Fanle said with some confusion.

Although there were not many Xiaorizi left, only about 200 of them, and there were many wounded among them, their bayonet fighting ability was incomparable to that of the elite Xiaorizi troops.

The difference between having training and not having training cannot be made up by having equal numbers of people.

Moreover, they have powerful weapons and equipment, so why should they neglect the essentials and pursue the trivial?
"If you have never experienced the feeling of a bayonet stabbing into your body, how can you be reborn? If you have never felt the heat of blood spraying on your face, how can you have the nerve to call yourself an elite?"

"How can you be called the Sichuan Army if you haven't experienced life-and-death battles?" Lin Hao didn't look at Meng Fan, but looked at the soldiers who were hiding behind obstacles, cowering and not daring to shoot.

Meng Fanle followed Lin Hao's gaze and looked at him. At this time, Lin Hao continued:
"I don't want the Sichuan Army to become a unit that can only fight by relying on weapons, and I don't want the Sichuan Army to lose the courage to fight." "I don't want the Sichuan Army to be called a young master's army that can't fight without advanced weapons."

"I hope they will remember this battle and the passion for it will never fade."

"What are you doing standing there? Pass on my orders." Lin Hao got annoyed when he saw Meng still in a daze and kicked him in annoyance.

"Yes, Commander." At this moment, the passion in Meng Fan's bones was aroused.

"All regiments put up bayonets, take the charge as the order, and prepare to charge."

"All regiments put up bayonets, take the charge as the order, and prepare to charge."

"All regiments put up bayonets, take the charge as the order, and prepare to charge."

All the Sichuan Army soldiers who heard this order were stunned, but then they faithfully carried out the order and took out their bayonets.

Lin Hao naturally knew that hand-to-hand combat would lead to increased casualties, but he could not overemphasize casualties and ignore the military spirit.

From ancient times to the present, which ace troop did not go through thousands of trials and tribulations, fight bloody battles on the battlefield, and finally become famous.

Only by surviving such a bloody battle can one be completely reborn.

Only through life-and-death battles can an invincible iron army be created.

Of course, this is also the case when Lin Hao now has an absolute advantage, and he also has Lin Hao's blood recovery and regeneration repair skills as a guarantee. As long as they don't die on the spot, Lin Hao can rescue them.

This gave the Sichuan Army the courage to fight bloody battles, otherwise Lin Hao would have asked them to draw their pistols.

"Bugler, blow the charge!" Lin Hao also picked up his rifle, deployed his troops, looked firmly at Mitsui Yujiro in the distance, and shouted again.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk~!"

"Kill~!"

"Come on~!"

"Kill the day~!"

In hand-to-hand combat, in addition to bayonet skills, it is more about bloodiness, and in essence, it is a competition of which side has more people.

In terms of numbers, including the guard company and the reconnaissance company, there are nearly 1,500 people. Excluding the wounded and killed in battle, there are still nearly 1,300 people. Facing the more than 300 people of Xiao Ri, the advantage is huge.

The four-to-one advantage was the capital that allowed Lin Hao to temporarily change his mind on the battlefield and allow the Sichuan Army to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Xiao Rizi.

The best way to make up for the gap in military quality is close combat and hand-to-hand combat. Often, after a battle, those who remain are the elite. Even if there are injured, once they recover from their injuries, they will become the treasures of each unit.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As the charge sounded, more than a thousand people in the regiment all rushed towards Xiaori with guns in hand.

"Hey little ones, grandpa is here to take you back home!"

As the head of the regiment, Lin Hao kept his word and rushed to the front of the team with a rifle in hand, with guards protecting him on both sides.

Seeing the regiment commander leading the way, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army behind him shouted in surprise. The two sides were only a few dozen meters apart, and those who were fast could engage the enemy in a few seconds.

Mitsui Yujiro never expected that these people would engage in hand-to-hand combat while they had the upper hand.

"Remove bullets and put on bayonets." Seeing the enemy rushing over, Mitsui Yujiro, who was brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido, immediately ordered everyone to remove bullets and put on bayonets.

Faced with the fierce and wolf-like Sichuan Army, the Mitsui Battalion was no match at all. They often had to face the siege of three or four Sichuan Army soldiers on a single day.

He dodged the bayonet from the front, but was stabbed by the bayonet from the back. Then four or five bayonets were inserted into his chest at the same time, and he died with his eyes open.

"Young people have no moral principles!" For a moment, screams from all kinds of daily life echoed in the mountains.

At this time, Mitsui Yujiro stared at Lin Hao. Seeing this man with the rank of lieutenant colonel surrounded by people, Mitsui Yujiro spoke in awkward Chinese.

"You, the duel?"

Lin Hao had also been looking for Mitsui Yujiro, and happened to see him pointing at him with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Come!" Lin Hao hooked his finger, pushed away the people around him, and said disdainfully.

"Baga~!" Mitsui Yujiro waved his command knife, screamed, and rushed towards Lin Hao.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Mitsui Yujiro looked at the gunshot chest in a daze.

"You, bastard, have no moral principles!" After saying that, dozens of bullets came at him again, and he was instantly shot into a sieve.

"Why talk about martial ethics with a beast? Is he mentally ill?" Lin Hao muttered. He wanted to train the bravery of the Sichuan Army. Lin Hao himself had no lack of courage. Wouldn't he be a fool to fight him with a bayonet?
"Send the order, quickly deal with the remaining little people!"

"Yes!"

Before long, there was no one left alive on the battlefield.

This was a real bloody battle, and also a battle for the Sichuan Army to prove itself!
The Sichuan Army finally won the victory and became the force that directly defeated the Xiaozi people in this land.

"You are worthy of the name of the Sichuan Army. You have proved with your blood that the Sichuan Army can also be a trump card and an elite force."

"From now on, the Sichuan Army will be proud of you."

"This battle is enough to go down in history!"

"You all are heroes! Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

After a bloody battle, the Sichuan Army was completely transformed. All the original little thoughts and tricks completely disappeared after this bloody battle, and everyone was proud of the Sichuan Army.

This bloody battle, as the news of a small number of defeated soldiers escaping spread, shocked the entire war zone and even alarmed Stilwell.

When the news of victory reached back to Nanovic Airport, everyone was extremely excited and it took a long time to calm down.

More than a thousand people fought a bloody battle with more than a thousand people from the Xiao Ri Zi Brigade, killed the brigade leader Mitsui Yujiro, and eliminated nearly a thousand Xiao Ri Zi. Such great news made the people who were building the new city extremely excited.

They had not heard news of victory for too long. Before this, all they heard most were defeat, escape, and retreat. The occasional news of victory was only achieved at the cost of huge casualties.

In a head-on confrontation like this, with more than a hundred casualties and more than a thousand small beasts killed, such a great victory has never happened before.

For a time, Lin Hao's prestige in everyone's mind rose rapidly, and he became a great hero in the eyes of the common people.

This kind of exciting news often spreads several times faster than usual. Before long, the people around knew about it, and many people who couldn't make ends meet came to seek refuge.

Not only that, after receiving the news, some defeated soldiers of the expeditionary force also spontaneously gathered at the airport. After all, following a leader who can win battles is several times better than following a leader who leads them to death.

After the war, the people took the initiative to help treat the wounded, transport the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to the camp, and clean up battlefield supplies, etc.
