    "What about the shelling? Why did the shelling stop?" Andrew, commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Smith asked quickly when he saw that the artillery had actually withdrawn.  His army was ready to attack, but the artillery failed to destroy the Western Sichuan Army's defense line. Now it has withdrawn from the battle. What is going on?

    Henry?  Wellesley was also very puzzled. The artillery of the British and Indian Army had a fierce artillery battle with the Western Sichuan Army. He was very excited to see the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army being misfired.  But in the blink of an eye, the artillery on our side had to withdraw from the battle.

    "General, the artillery in western Sichuan is too cunning. They keep changing their positions. We can't attack them at all, but we suffer heavy losses. Now, there are only a few dozen cannons left. If the attack continues, I'm afraid that all  The cannons will all be damaged!" the artillery commander said worriedly.  He had tried his best, but in the end this was the result, and he was very helpless.

    "Damn it! How did you become an artillery commander? We have more than twice as many artillery pieces as the Western Sichuan Army, but we ended up like this. After this battle is over, I will definitely send you to a military court.  !" Henry?  Wellesley was furious.  Without artillery, it will not be that easy to capture Volta Mountain, which is heavily defended by the Western Sichuan Army!

    "General! Then do we still want to launch an attack? Without artillery support, I will not let my people die!" Andrew, commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Smith also said.  Attacking Volta Mountain without the cover of artillery is simply asking for death, and he won't do it!

    "Order your artillery to return to the battlefield immediately and launch an attack on the Western Sichuan Army. No matter what, you must provide cover for the infantry. If you dare to disobey, I have the right to shoot you!" Henry?  Wellesley said fiercely.  This was his only chance. If the attack failed, he would be dead.  He would never allow this to happen.

    "General!" The artillery commander hesitated.  It would be suicide to send his artillery to the battlefield now.

    "Since the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army can be dispersed, you can also disperse your artillery. Just form a position with several cannons and provide cover for the infantry!" Leo, commander of the Donerkha Infantry Brigade?  Jones said.

    "Ah! This is a good idea!" the artillery commander said happily.  He immediately went down to make arrangements.  The remaining dozens of cannons of the British and Indian Army were divided into ten positions. One part was responsible for providing cover for the infantry, and the other part was responsible for suppressing the artillery of the Western Sichuan Army.

    A fierce artillery battle started again, but this time it would not be so easy for the Western Sichuan Army to suppress the British and Indian troops.  At the same time, the British and Indian troops relied on their large number of artillery. While they assigned part of the artillery to engage in artillery battle with the Western Sichuan Army, the other part violently bombarded the position of the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army.  At the same time, the infantry of the British and Indian troops, who had been prepared for a long time, also began to charge.

    More than 3,000 British soldiers from the 32nd Infantry Brigade and more than 5,000 Indian soldiers launched an attack on the positions of the Western Sichuan Army.  Under the cover of artillery, they quickly launched an attack on the Western Sichuan Army's position.

    ¡°Order the forward positions and prepare for defense!¡± Du Qizheng, the commander of the 9th Brigade, ordered.  Although the shelling by the British and Indian troops has not stopped, artillery shells fall on the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army from time to time.  However, because the artillery of the British and Indian Army suffered very heavy losses in the artillery battle with the Western Sichuan Army, more than half of the dozens of remaining cannons were engaged in artillery battles with the Western Sichuan Army, and there were much fewer cannons used to attack the Western Sichuan Army's defense lines.  .  Therefore, no casualties were caused to the Western Sichuan Army.  Even though the artillery bombardment by the British and Indian Army continued, the infantry of the British and Indian Army had already begun to attack. The soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army still came out of the artillery holes under the orders of the officers, skillfully manipulated the weapons in their hands, and prepared for the attack.  Resist the attack of the British and Indian troops.

    "Fire!" After the British and Indian troops entered the firing range of the Western Sichuan Army, the commander of the Western Sichuan Army's forward position, Deputy Brigadier Zhang Ruifeng, immediately issued the order.

    "Click, click, click! Bang, bang, bang! Boom!" All the heavy machine guns, mortars and rifles in the hands of the soldiers deployed by the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army on the two lines of defense opened fire.  The British soldiers in gray military uniforms and the Indian soldiers in brown military uniforms with cloth strips wrapped around their heads fell to the ground immediately under the fierce firepower of the Western Sichuan Army.  However, the comrades in front fell, and those behind continued to advance despite the hail of bullets from the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Come on, go faster!" the officer of the British and Indian Army shouted loudly.  The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army is very fierce. If it stays for longer, it will only bring a greater threat to itself.  Now all I can do is rush forward with all my strength, even if I can't rush to the Western Sichuan Army's position, it's still a good idea to start a shootout with the Western Sichuan Army!

    "Set up the heavy machine gun for me and fire! Fire!" the British and Indian army officer ordered loudly.  Although, the heavy machine gun is very heavyHeavy, which is particularly inconvenient during a charge.  But after seeing the suppressive effect of heavy machine guns played by the Western Sichuan Army during the attack, the British Army quickly learned this trick.  However, their heavy machine guns have naturally become the key targets of Western Sichuan's military firepower.

    "Boom!" A series of bullets hit the trenches of the Western Sichuan Army. Many soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army quickly lowered their heads. Those who moved a little slower were already shot to death.  Many soldiers of the British and Indian Army have already rushed to the barbed wire fence in front of the Western Sichuan Army position.  Some of them lay on the ground and started shooting at the Western Sichuan Army, while others tried to destroy the barbed wire fence of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Fire! Hit me hard!" All the weapons of the Western Sichuan Army opened fire at the maximum rate of fire.  A large number of British and Indian soldiers were knocked to the ground, and their bodies were piled up in a thick layer.  Blood flowed from their bodies, soaking the soil under Mount Volta.

    "Mortar, knock out the enemy's heavy machine guns for me!" Seeing that many of their own soldiers were killed or injured by the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops, the commanders on the front line of the Western Sichuan Army were very angry.

    The mortars of the Western Sichuan Army turned their muzzles and focused on the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian Army.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shells flew out one after another and hit the heavy machine guns of the British and Indian troops, destroying all these powerful weapons.

    The fighting continued, and as time went by, the casualties on both sides increased.  But in general, the Western Sichuan Army, which was protected by solid fortifications, suffered much fewer casualties than the attacking British and Indian Army.

    "Damn it, rush forward! Rush into the trenches of those yellow-skinned monkeys!" Looking at his soldiers falling one by one under the guns of the Western Sichuan Army, Andrew, the commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Smith shouted angrily.

    However, apart from venting his dissatisfaction, he was of no use at all.  The attack by the British and Indian troops still had no effect at all.  They were tightly suppressed near the barbed wire fence set up by the Western Sichuan Army, and then were massacred by the Western Sichuan Army's concentrated superior firepower.  The soldiers died one by one, but the Western Sichuan Army's defense line was impregnable.

    Henry?  Wellesley's face also looked a little ugly. Originally, he thought this attack would bring a surprise.  But nothing came of it except a pile of dead bodies.

    "Send another three thousand Indian soldiers up." Henry?  Wellesley ordered.  There were only a few British Army soldiers, and the current losses already made him very distressed.  As for those Indian soldiers, there will be no impact at all.  They were all used for artillery fire anyway, so no matter how many people died, he wouldn't feel bad.

    "Yes, General!" Henry?  Wellesley's adjutant Felix immediately went to make arrangements.

    A few minutes later, more than 3,000 Indian soldiers launched an attack.  However, the speed of their attacks was not as violent as that of their companions before.  Seeing their companions bleeding out in front filled them with fear.  If it weren't for the British law enforcement team behind them, they might have turned around and fled.

    Seeing the performance of these Indian soldiers, the British generals shook their heads speechlessly.  Sure enough, as soon as these Indian soldiers started to attack, they were violently shelled by the Western Sichuan Army.  A large number of artillery shells exploded around them, causing them to run away with their heads covered.

    An hour after the attack started, the British and Indian troops had already suffered huge casualties.  Can't hold off for a long time, Henry?  Wellesley had to give the order to retreat.  If the fight continues, all the attacking British and Indian troops will die.

    In this battle, the British and Indian troops invested a total of more than 10,000 people, but only half of them returned. The remaining half has fallen on this land forever.  The British troops of the 32nd Infantry Brigade attacked with more than 3,000 people, but only more than 1,000 people were withdrawn.  Although they performed very bravely in the battle, they were still unable to break through the Western Sichuan Army's position.

    "General, you have also seen that the Western Sichuan Army's defense is very strong. We have tried our best, but it is difficult to break through their defense line!" Andrew, commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Smith said.

    Henry?  Wellesley nodded. The Western Sichuan Army's defense was far more powerful than he imagined.  First the artillery failed, and now the army's attack also failed.  If this continues, it seems that it will be impossible for them to break through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line.

    "Leo? Brigadier General Jones, would you like your people to try it?" Henry?  Wellesley said.  Now that the 21st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade have returned without success, he can only place his hope on the Donlka Infantry Brigade.  I hope this ace among aces can bring him a breakthrough.

    Leo, the commander of the Donerkha Infantry Brigade?  Jones nodded, and then said: "I will send an army to attack. But, not now. But tonight! I will give those yellow-skinned monkeys an eternal damnation."What a lesson!  "
