Bayan's chest was so tight that he felt like he was about to vomit blood.

This is a fucking heavy artillery piece, at least 120 mm or more.

I was very worried about my brothers who were still on the battlefield, but now I had no choice but to huddle up and avoid the gunfire.

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes. As soon as the shelling stopped, Bayan ran out of the shelling hole.

There was smoke everywhere on the position, and the trenches in many places were broken by shells.

If you want to get over, you have to climb over the collapsed earth and rocks.

The forest where the howitzer battery was hiding was a key area for shelling.

The British even used rockets to bombard the area.

Now the forest is filled with huge fires, and we don't know what happened to the artillery batteries.

Anyway, I can't hear the sound of the howitzer now.

Sparse gunfire came from the position, and looking from a distance, the British had already begun to charge.

Bayan looked around, pushed away the dead machine gunner, and picked up the mg34 from under his body.

Spreading the bipod and setting up the machine gun, the sound of tearing linen came out immediately.

Shooting out one by one with short bursts, the five or six leading British soldiers rushing in front were immediately knocked to the ground.

When the remaining British troops heard the brief sound of machine gunfire, they all lay on the ground and could not get up.

From the sound of the machine gun, you can tell that this is a very powerful shooter.

Novice machine gun shooters often pull the trigger because of nervousness.

Although the bullet hit "whoosh" and "whoosh", it was accurate... It's really not a compliment.

On the battlefield, those who can fire such precise short bursts are the real killers.

The sound of gunfire became fierce again, and it seemed that many people had managed to get into the shelter from the gunfire.

The Ming army was furious, but at two positions, the British troops rushed into the trenches, and hand-to-hand combat began between the two sides.

When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army is clearly bullying.

The British man was holding a Leesfield rifle, with a bayonet more than a foot long gleaming coldly.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty held a revolver in their hands, and the black muzzle sprayed deadly bullets.

The distance between the two sides is five or six meters. You use the bayonet and I use the pistol. It is obvious that I am bullying you.

But the British didn't have any solution. Their individual equipment did not include pistols at all.

There was a huge engine roar in the sky, followed by the Stuka's death scream.

A bomb with a whistle fell from the sky. After the bomb exploded on the ground, the explosion was not very powerful.

But the burning flames are really scary.

A few hundred meters in front of the position was completely covered in flames. The flames rising into the sky directly turned into a fire dragon, devouring everything it encountered.

The British troops, covered in flames, howled miserably, fired and ran wildly.

More than 300 meters away, their miserable howls can still be heard.

Those who were covered in fire often couldn't run very far before they fell to the ground motionless, and then thick black smoke erupted from their bodies.

Bayan had seen this kind of bomb in Moscow. The official name is napalm. It is said that the gasoline is made up and put into the large bomb body.

The flames generated by the explosion are enough to burn a large living person into a pile of ashes.

But privately, everyone calls this thing an incendiary bomb.

Anyway, it’s just something that’s thrown down and catches fire!

More than a dozen Stukas dropped bombs one after another.

After witnessing the tragic situation of the British army, even Bayan, who had seen big scenes, felt that this napalm bomb was really evil and smoking.

Napalm bombs formed two fire dragons on both sides of the Ming army's position.

Before the fire dragon is extinguished, anyone who tries to cross the fire dragon will be burned to charcoal.

The Stuka threw away all the gasoline bombs, swung its wings and fired several rounds repeatedly, until all the ammunition it carried was shot out, then it swung its wings and flew away.

"Damn it, let each company report the casualties."

The battle situation stabilized for the time being. Bayan put down his machine gun and sat down in the trench to give orders to the orderlies.

The first company to report was Hugjiril's company, because they were the closest.

The casualties reached 30%. The shelling was too violent and too sudden.

Many soldiers were covered by artillery fire before they had time to get into the artillery holes.

There were also two bombproof holes that were blown down. Just now everyone was dealing with the British charge, and no one could care about them.

Now after all this time, they are still dead bodies when they are dug up.

The remaining two companies were even worse than Hugjiril's company.

The worst company suffered casualties reaching 40%.

Their positions were all bombarded by heavy artillery, some even over 150 mm.

The field defenses built in two days could not block such heavy artillery at all.

However, their losses were not the worst, the worst was the artillery battery.

Six howitzers belonging to the 105th Battalion were all damaged.

The company commander urgently tinkered with several damaged cannons, dismantling each other, and finally made up a cannon that could still be fired.

But there is also good news. Because the ammunition accumulation points were scattered, only two were destroyed.

This is a blessing among misfortunes. For a cannon, the ammunition is quite sufficient.

"Damn! The British are really crazy. They actually launched an artillery attack from such a distance."

Hugjirel's face was so smoked that he looked like a little devil. He was spitting and cursing...

After all, cannonballs are not as accurate as bullets. If the secret position is missed, the cannonball will go far away.

Especially howitzers are greatly affected by wind direction and the like.

If you look at the shell craters in front of the position, you will know that many shells actually fell on the British lines.

There is no way, the distance between the two armies is too close.

According to the combat maneuvers of the Ming army, after the forward reaches nearly 500 meters, the howitzer must extend its attack. It cannot continue to bombard the front because it will accidentally bomb friendly forces.

"Send someone to climb out and bury all the thunder for me. I don't think I can be kind today."

Bayan looked worriedly at the British position with thick smoke billowing in the distance. There seemed to be a faint roar of tanks.

The Ming army attacked the British position, possibly with tanks.
