Chapter 30: Fighting Alone (Part 2)

  "Foolishness! Withdraw the troops immediately!" Yuan Yujin put down his binoculars and shouted loudly.

  The deputy officer hastily ran forward and conveyed Yuan Yu's order.

  "It was them, the troops in Dongguan, passing down the order to abandon the attack." Yuan Yijiu gave the command again, he would rather take a detour from the side than engage with this troop.

  "Squad leader, we'll be able to occupy the position immediately." An officer walked up beside Yuan Jiujiu and said in a puzzled tone.

  After all, the nearly 200-strong troops are now only a few dozen meters away from the position, and the defenders' firepower has paused. As long as they charge once, they can occupy the position.

  The firepower of the light and heavy machine guns was powerful, but it could not play a role in close combat. As long as they charged into the position, this 200-man unit would be able to completely wipe out the Wa Army and fully occupy the position.

  Yuan Chujiu hadn't had time to speak when the machine guns on the position above opened fire again.

  Nearly two hundred men of Chen Jun's troops were suddenly hit by firepower, and more than 70 people were killed or injured. The remaining one hundred or so people had some retreat, running back, but such a result could only be hit by machine gun bullets, falling to the ground.

  Another group of people charged forward under intense firepower towards the front of the position.

  "Grenades, bayonets on rifles." Guan Linzheng installed the bayonet on his rifle and shouted loudly.

  The infantry quickly took out hand grenades and threw them at the Chen army soldiers, then hastily pulled out bayonets and mounted them on their rifles.

  "Comrades, charge with me!" Gu Linzheng shouted loudly, holding his rifle.

  Sun Xinghua on the city wall frowned slightly.

  "Order three infantry companies to support Guan Lin's battle, clear the Chen army troops in front of us, and quickly move to the flank. We must annihilate this group of Chen army soldiers." Sun Xinghua gave orders quickly, he was the one who least wanted to rely on close combat to solve the battle, after all, his own numbers were not advantageous, close combat could easily cause heavy casualties.

  However, Guan Linzheng was young and impulsive after all. Seeing Chen Jun's soldiers charging over, he wanted to use close combat to resolve the battle and gave the order to charge.

  Sun Xinghua was unable to change his orders and could only let a series of rapid reinforcements pass through.

  "Comrade representative, I led a company of machine guns to reinforce the flank and fight." Sun Xinghua said after taking a look at the situation.

  Now Guan Linzheng's troops are facing Chen Jun's army, except for the dozens of people who escaped, there are less than 50 troops fighting against Guan Linzheng. After a continuous reinforcement, their own numbers have taken advantage, and the only crisis is on the flank.

  Cai Guangju wanted to stop him, but Sun Xinghua had already run off.

  On the flank position, a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns suppressed the attack of over 100 Chen troops. The firepower of the three machine guns was so intense that it didn't dare to stop for a moment. Once there was a pause in the firepower, the over 100 Chen soldiers nearby would immediately press forward.

  At this critical moment, the heavy machine gun fell silent, and the originally black barrel had turned bright red.

  The shooter's forehead was covered in sweat, a few drops of which fell onto the barrel and immediately turned into steam.

  "Hurry up and bring some water!" the archer shouted loudly.

  A bullet came over silently and hit the shooter's arm.

  Blood flowed down from his arm and dripped onto the barrel of the gun.

  "Deputy squad leader." The ammunition handler hastily shouted a sentence and pulled the gunner aside.

  Due to the large number of captured machine guns, there were not many personnel using heavy machine guns. Some deputy personnel who could use heavy machine guns were all transferred by Sun Xinghua to the front line for combat.

  "I'm fine, hurry up and find water, the heavy machine gun can't stop." The deputy platoon leader hastily said.

  Without the heavy machine gun's firing, more than thirty Chen Jun soldiers began to attack along the light machine gun's dead angle, while the remaining hundred troops suppressed the light machine gun's firepower.

  Just as the troops of over thirty people were about to arrive at the front line, two shells fell into Chen Jun's army, causing more than a dozen casualties, and the rest quickly took cover.

  The deputy platoon leader turned his head and saw Sun Xinghua directing the soldiers, carrying two heavy machine guns and running over quickly. Two 37mm infantry cannons were also pushed over by the soldiers.

  "Send the wounded into the city for treatment." Sun Xinghua said hastily after seeing the wounded.

  A bucket of cold water was poured over the heavy machine gun, producing a cloud of steam. Sun Xinghua put his Mauser pistol at his waist and walked to the front of the heavy machine gun.

  The red-hot barrel returned to normal, and Sun Xinghua immediately opened fire.

  The remaining dozen or so soldiers all fell under Sun Xinghua's heavy machine gun fire, and the other two marksmen looked over at Sun Xinghua with eyes full of admiration.

  Just as Sun Xinghua was about to show off his skills, the troops on the flank attack suddenly retreated to the rear, losing contact with the defending army on the battlefield.

  This was the order passed down by Yuan Shao, but the 300-strong vanguard that had launched a frontal assault could no longer receive such an order, as apart from about 46 men who escaped back, more than 200 of them were either captured or killed.

  "Hurry, stop them." Sun Xinghua hastily fired and shouted loudly.

  Three heavy machine guns and two light machine guns quickly unfolded their fire, some Chen Jun soldiers who did not hide were directly hit by bullets in the back and fell to the ground.

  The remaining retreating troops also did not dare to retreat in a big way, and they all hid and retreated cautiously towards the back.

  At this moment, a continuous troop came from the front and collided with Chen Jun's retreating troops.

  Soldiers armed with Thompson and Browning automatic rifles began to open fire, catching some of Chen's soldiers off guard.

  These Chen Jun soldiers were also quick-witted, quickly installing bayonets and mixing with the troops in a row, making it impossible for the firepower on the position to play out. Even soldiers holding Thompsons and Browning automatic rifles could not open fire.

  The next battle was a purely technical white blade fight between the two sides.

  However, in the white blade battle, Sun Xinghua's three battalions were somewhat inferior. As soon as they clashed, Chen Jun's soldiers tore open a gap, and most of Chen Jun's soldiers retreated quickly along this gap.

  "Fire." Shen Jian saw Chen Jun's soldiers retreat and lose contact with their own troops, and quickly gave the order.

  Twelve Browning machine guns immediately opened fire.

  The Chen Jun soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and those who remained hastily hid themselves. They only thought of escaping and forgot about the powerful firepower of the Party Army.
