Chapter 707 Deadly Heights
Chen Jitang laughed again: "This is the ace troop? In such a narrow area, why pay attention to the integrity and order of the queue? This is not a war, it is sent for us to be slaughtered! Order brothers to save some bullets, don't be desperate Hit them hard, I don't have any bullets for them!"

The sky over Delhi is filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and the dragon army's position is quiet. This is the calm before the war, and it is a signal that the desperate fight is about to begin!

With a "swish", a piercing military whistle sounded suddenly in the phalanx of the 62nd Infantry Division, and the British sergeants began to advance towards the Dragon Army's position.At this moment, the artillery of the British army began the most violent artillery cover before the impact, and the Chinese army's position was immediately covered by bullets.The New Crusaders were getting closer. They formed a long line, each carrying as many as 200 rounds of ammunition, two bombs, and many soldiers also had boxes with field equipment, picks, shovels, and communication pigeons. Each person carries a load of up to 30 kilograms, so they move very slowly.They attacked in several waves, led by officers armed with traditional whips.The soldiers of each wave were almost lined up side by side in a neat line, holding their rifles at an angle, and walking slowly towards the dragon army's position.

The armored division fired the last shells, and the soldiers relied on the solid tanks as cover. When the British soldiers came within a hundred yards of range, the machine guns opened fire at once. The dense bullets were like a sharp scythe, killing them instantly. The British army mowed down in groups like wheat.

Johnson's promise to capture the Chinese position within an hour became a lunatic's dream, but within an hour.Under the merciless massacre of the Chinese, more than 1000 of his troops were killed in battle alone. The myth of the undefeated troops was finally shattered in front of the powerful dragon army.

In the coalition headquarters, Major General Johnson lowered his proud head.He had to accept the fate of fiasco, and Joseph gloated at the joke of his colleague.At this time, when the New Crusaders were at a loss for the Armored Corps in Delhi, the dragon armies on the other lines had already advanced rapidly towards Delhi according to the pre-plan.

Tang Shengzhi's troops began to move, and their goal was to capture Keboledpur, and the only two dangerous places in Keboledpur were the 207 and 208 highlands outside the city. As long as they can capture these two places, Keboledpur Redpur will be safe from danger.

Colonel Schummel of the French Army who was in charge of guarding Kebledpur walked around the room uneasy. He was of medium build and handsome in appearance. Because he had been insisting on climbing mountains for exercise, he was also very strong.He knew that Keboldpur, which he was about to guard in front of him, would be a turning point in his military career for decades, or he would become a national hero and be loved by millions of citizens, or he would become a defeated man and be insulted and abused by Wanfu. curse.But the Chinese army is coming in menacingly, will my fame of the first life be buried here?
After the battle on the 207 Heights started, the 290th Regiment then launched a fierce attack on the 208 Heights. Height 208 is a protruding cliff. The French army has carefully prepared for a period of time here. All the perforations and the pointing targets of the artillery have predicted the prepared scales and elements. The crossfire can block the attacking roads everywhere and Can support each other, in the eyes of the French, this is foolproof.The terrain here is high and low, and the artillery and tanks can't come up at all, so the soldiers can only charge up with their lives.Colonel Schummel has inspected here many times. He believes that 208 high and low is a sharp knife and an impenetrable iron gate.

When there was a burst of artillery roaring from the direction of the 207 highland, the headquarters of the 290 regiment issued an attack order to the assault unit.Captain Liu Changsheng led the commando, and silently moved towards the front of the 208 Heights. The commando held a gun in one hand and a grenade with its cap unscrewed in the other.About seven or eight meters away from the French position, the French sentinel heard the movement and shouted loudly: "The Chinese army is coming up, the Chinese army is coming up!"

Because the 207 highland started first, the French army on the 208 highland was already prepared.

Liu Changsheng gave an order, and dense grenades were thrown at the firepower point of the French army. The machine guns on the firepower point went silent, and the commando forcibly captured the forward position.But when soldier Ji Haifeng held up a grenade and was about to throw it at a concealed firepower point, a firepower point that had never been seen before suddenly opened fire, and a shuttle of bullets knocked Ji Haifeng to the ground.Liu Changsheng helped him bandage the wound, and said in an orderly tone, "Get out of here immediately."

The commander of the French battalion guarding Height 208 reported the battle situation on Height 208 to Colonel Schummel by telegram.Facing the sand table, Schummel realized that the Dragon Army's attack on the 207 and 208 highlands was to open the gate to Kebo Radpur.He decisively ordered: "The artillery fire from all the highlands supports the 207th and 208th highlands at the same time. The artillery must hold these two highlands if they want to block and shoot the attacking Chinese army!"

When the commandos climbed to the firepower point on the second floor, the French artillery fire from the five highlands on the west and right poured down on the 208th highland one after another.The few large rocks on the hillside were all blown into rubble, and the uniforms and shoes of the commando soldiers were also burnt, exuding an unpleasant smell of burning.In this brutal attack, the commandos suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only six members, and three of them are even wounded.

Liu Changsheng looked up at the main peak of Height 208, and saw smoke rising and flames shining, and the artillery fire of the Dragon Army was also violently bombarding the French army's firepower point on the mountain.He carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then ordered the commando to bypass the entanglement of the enemy in front of him, and detour from the left. The French army on Heights 208 discovered their attempt, and a burst of machine gun bullets hit like a wind, and two members of the commando were shot immediately.The battalion commander of the French army guarding the main peak had an idea, and ordered a French captain to lead a squad of soldiers from the left side to the back of the French army, attacking the commando from both sides, intending to capture these dragon soldiers alive in one fell swoop. .They groped down from the mountain and quietly came up from the rear of the commandos.

Liu Changsheng heard a chattering sound, and found that more than a dozen French soldiers were coming down from the back of the mountain, ready to attack the backs of their teammates.The commandos in front of them haven't noticed the French army coming from behind. If the French soldiers get closer and shoot suddenly, the commandos will face a desperate situation.

Suddenly, the semi-automatic rifle in Liu Changsheng's hand let out a crisp sound. One of the unsuspecting French soldiers was killed on the spot, and the others lay on the ground in a hurry, not daring to move.The commandos in front heard the gunshots behind them, and also spotted the outflanking French, and quickly took advantage of the rocks to hide.The captain of the French army found that there was only one Chinese soldier attacking them, and his lungs exploded immediately. He danced and shouted: "There is only one Chinese, catch the alive!" He took the lead and rushed up.

When the French captain was about to rush forward, Liu Changsheng firmly pulled the trigger. The captain writhed a few times in pain, and then fell heavily on a rock.The French soldiers who were rushing up after him saw that the official was dead, turned around and ran, just bumped into the soldiers of the Dragon Army who came up for reinforcements, and were attacked at both ends. The spirit, soon surrendered his weapons and became a prisoner of the Chinese.

At this time, the artillerymen of the Dragon Army braved the intensive artillery fire of the French army and pushed the cannons to a distance of 500 meters from the front with all their strength. On the cliff on the west bank of the Chaou River on the left side of the 208 highland, there is a dangerous "tiger's mouth". thick stone walls.Only the muzzles of the black holes were exposed.

Because the artillery of the Dragon Army changed places after firing a few shots, it was difficult for the French army to find their exact location, and the trees were tall and the forests were dense.Many of the French artillery shells were blocked by the canopy, so they were not very powerful.Afterwards, the dragon army once again launched the most violent offensive since the start of the war.

The French army concentrated all its forces on the side of the main peak, preparing for the final resistance.Their three heavy machine guns formed a fan-shaped fire net, sealing off the passage leading to the main peak in an airtight manner.A machine gun squad of the Long Army disassembled the heavy machine gun, carried a large piece by one person, rushed to the firepower point of the French army under the rain of bullets, reassembled it, and swept towards the place where the French army's machine gun roar was fired.

The French army found the target, and several machine guns fired at them. A stray bullet cut a gash in the right cheek of a machine gunner, and the blood flowed all over his face.

In order to stop the charge of the dragon army, the French army set fire to the pines and cypresses and shrubs on the position. Suddenly, the fire on the mountain shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and a wall of fire blocked the advance of the dragon army.

The brave soldiers of the Dragon Army had no fear. With fire and gunpowder smoke, they fought hand-to-hand with the French army.In front of such a powerful army, the fighting spirit of the French soldiers was completely broken. They no longer resisted, but took the initiative to put down their weapons, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, and waited to be captured by the Chinese. Heights 207 and 208 have all fallen into the hands of the Dragon Army. The two gates of the French right-wing defense system have been opened, and Kebole de Boul has been completely under the artillery fire of the Dragon Army's attack.

When the front line was in full swing, Lieutenant General Pete, who was worried about the right wing, sent Joseph to Kebradpur. He wanted to encourage the soldiers, and he wanted to find ways for the coalition to resist China's crazy offensive.Schummel was half lying on the camp bed, his stomach troubled again, his haggard face was sallow, and the unkempt beard on his chin was more than an inch long.At this moment, he was resting his chin on the combat sand table, listening to the combat staff pointing to the sand table non-stop, explaining the combat situation at 208 Heights.
