    "Haha, we attacked and occupied the first line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army. I knew that the Gurkha Infantry Brigade would succeed, and the final victory must be ours!" Henry?  Wellesley laughed.  The Gurkha Infantry Brigade's attack went so smoothly that the depression he had been feeling these days was swept away.  He seemed to have seen that victory was just around the corner.  Finally, he no longer had to sacrifice his future for this failed war.

    "General, it's too early to say victory. The Western Sichuan Army has already reacted. They retreated to the second line of defense to hold on. Now, all my people are suppressed on the first line of defense. The second line of the Western Sichuan Army  The defense line is condescending and is massacring my soldiers with powerful firepower. My soldiers need support!" Leo, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Jones said seriously.  The sudden attack by the Gurkha Infantry Brigade caught the Western Sichuan Army by surprise and achieved very good results.  However, the Western Sichuan Army decisively abandoned the first line of defense and withdrew all its troops to the second line of defense. Holding on to this last line of defense immediately frustrated the Gurkha Infantry Brigade's attack.

    "Okay, General Jones, what support do you need? I will do my best to satisfy you!" Henry?  Wellesley said without hesitation.  Now all the hope of victory lies with the Gurkha Infantry Brigade. Of course he will not refuse Leo?  Jones' request.

    "I want artillery support, and more troops. More elite troops!" Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Jones said seriously.  His meaning was very obvious. If he wanted to capture the Volta Mountain position of the Western Sichuan Army, the British and Indian troops would have to fight tooth and nail.  Otherwise, it is very likely that the result will fall short.

    "Okay! I immediately ordered the artillery to open fire. As for the reinforcements, the remaining troops of the 21st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade began to attack immediately. No matter what, we must capture Volta Mountain and establish victory this time!" Henry?  Wellesley said immediately without any hesitation.

    21st Infantry Brigade Commander Allen?  Brigadier General Fein and Commander Andrew?  Brigadier General Smith hesitated, but opened his mouth, but still did not refute Henry?  Wellesley's order.  They handed over all the remaining seven or eight thousand men of these two brigades to Leo?  Jones's hand.  Artillery at Henry?  On Wellesley's order, firing also began.  Artillery shells hit the second line of defense of the 9th Brigade, supporting the Gurkha Infantry Brigade's attack.

    Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  After Jones received the reinforcements, he devoted them all to the attack without any reservation.  He knew that he only had one chance now.  If the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army cannot be captured in one go, all the previous efforts will be in vain.  Moreover, his soldiers would suffer heavy losses from the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army.  It can even be said that if this attack fails, then they will have no hope of winning this war.

    "Artillery fire, open fire! Suppress the British artillery!" Du Qizheng, commander of the 9th Brigade, gave the order with red eyes.  As more and more British troops entered the battle, the pressure on the Ninth Brigade increased.  Fortunately, the second line of defense of the Ninth Brigade is located on the mountain. From a commanding position, it can fully utilize the firepower advantage of the Western Sichuan Army and inflict a very heavy blow to the British Army.  Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the Ninth Brigade to hold the second line of defense.

    "Brigade Commander, it seems that the British are working hard! You see, all those suppressed below are members of their Gurkha Infantry Brigade. This is the ace among the aces of the British team. They were attacked by them secretly.  We did not lose unjustly. In addition, all those who arrived later were British, and there was not a single Indian Asan. It seems that the British wanted to finish their work in one battle." Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the 9th Brigade, said with a serious face.  .

    "I know, but no matter how powerful the British are, we must hold the line of defense. I promised the young marshal that if the people are in the position, even if the 9th Brigade is completely exhausted, we must hold the position. Chief of Staff, order the guard battalion,  The baggage battalion, reconnaissance battalion, and engineering battalion are all ready for battle. Once the defense line is tight, they will support the front line!" Du Qizheng ordered with a gloomy face.

    "Yes, brigade commander. Not only them, but all our staff are also ready. Even if the whole brigade fights to the last person, we will hold our position!" Chief of Staff Qian Tailin also replied.

    Behind the Western Sichuan Army, Wang Yuze's headquarters was awakened by the sound of artillery fire from the direction of Volta Mountain.  After putting on one after another, he immediately walked out of the room.

    "Wang Wei, what's going on?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Young Marshal, the direction of Volt Mountain has been attacked. We are now urgently contacting the direction of Volt Mountain to inquire about the battle situation!" Wang Wei said.  The Signal Corps is in contact with the direction of Volta Mountain, but has not yet received a response.

    veryQuickly, all the generals from the 7th and 8th brigades arrived.

    "Young Marshal, is the direction of Volta Mountain being attacked by the British and Indian troops? Our brigade is ready for battle and can immediately send reinforcements to the direction of Volta Mountain!" Su Hongguang, commander of the 8th Brigade, immediately called for battle as soon as he saw Wang Yuze.  road.

    "No rush, we haven't been able to contact the Ninth Brigade yet, and we don't know the specific situation yet." Wang Yuze shook his head.

    "Report to the Marshal. The Ninth Brigade called. The Ninth Brigade was attacked by the British-Indian Gurkha Infantry Brigade. Now, the first line of defense has been lost, and the entire Ninth Brigade has retreated to the second line of defense. However, now it has  Withstood the attack of the British and Indian troops. In addition, in addition to the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, the British and Indian troops also used British troops from two other brigades, bringing the number of British troops attacking the Volta Mountains to 10,000  There are many people. However, the second line of defense is still under the control of the 9th Brigade and is very stable!" said the signal soldier.

    "Ask the Ninth Brigade if it needs support!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Are the British desperate? They actually invested so many heavy troops in the direction of Volta Mountain, and they are all elites! There is not a single Indian Asan!" Xie Dingkun, commander of the 7th Brigade, said in surprise.  If his seventh brigade was attacked by the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he could not guarantee that it would do better than the ninth brigade.

    "Young Marshal, let's organize military reinforcements immediately! The Volt Mountain position is particularly important. If it falls, it will be very detrimental to us!" Tang Anping, deputy commander of the 7th Brigade, suggested.

    Wang Yuze shook his head. He knew that this time the British were going to fight hard and wanted to establish an advantage over the Western Sichuan Army in one fell swoop.  Originally, he just wanted to guard the border and wait for negotiations between Western Sichuan and Britain.  However, it seems that the British are not going to suffer any loss.  In other words, they want to wait until they gain an advantage before negotiating with Sichuan West.  In this case, the Western Sichuan Army will have no choice but to inflict pain on the British, forcing them to return to the negotiating table.  Therefore, since the British are ready to fight hard, what can they not dare to fight for?  However, we must first determine the situation on the Ninth Brigade's side.  If the Ninth Brigade can withstand the British attack, then his plan can be implemented.  If the Ninth Brigade could not withstand the British attack, then he would have to send reinforcements first to stabilize the Ninth Brigade's front.  After all, the Volta Mountain position is an important fulcrum of the Western Sichuan Army's defense line and cannot be missed.

    Soon, the Signal Corps received a call back from the Ninth Brigade.  "Reporting to the Marshal, the Ninth Brigade called back and said that they are confident in holding the line of defense and can withstand the British attack!" the Signal Corps reported.

    "Okay, I understand. Go down and keep in close contact with the Ninth Brigade!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Marshal!" The signal soldier saluted and immediately withdrew.

    "Young Marshal, Lao Du is a tough talker. The situation of the Ninth Brigade is definitely not optimistic now. If we don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Ninth Brigade to survive!" said Su Hongguang, commander of the Eighth Brigade.  .  The 8th and 9th brigades were stationed on the plateau, and he knew Du Qizheng's temper quite well.

    "Not busy. Please listen to my thoughts first. This time, the British are desperate. They have invested a large number of troops in order to capture the Volta Mountains and gain an advantage over us in one fell swoop. All, this time  They put all the Gurkha Infantry Brigade and two British infantry brigades into the battle. Now, the situation in the Volta Mountains is critical. This is a crisis for us. But at the same time, this is also an opportunity. Since the British  The people have invested all their main forces in the direction of Volta Mountain. Then, in front of us, only the Indian indigenous troops are left. Although they number more than 30,000 people, I believe you all know their specific combat effectiveness. If,  We concentrated all the troops of the 7th and 8th brigades and launched a frontal attack. So, is it possible for us to defeat the Indian native army in front of us in one fell swoop? After that, we will move the army to the left to attack the British troops in the Volta Mountains.  All surrounded at the foot of Volta Mountain. Annihilated in one fell swoop! In this case, this battle can be completely over. As long as we eliminate these British troops, the British will no longer be able to mobilize troops to attack us in a short period of time.  At that time, I'm afraid it will be up to the diplomatic department of the Western Sichuan Army to play tricks with the British. However, we have won the battlefield and we will never fail in diplomatic negotiations no matter what!" Wang Yuze said.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. They did not expect that Wang Yuze actually had such a plan. When the main force of the British army attacked Volta Mountain, he defeated the British and Indian troops in one fell swoop, and then surrounded the British army attacking Volta Mountain.  If we can win, then there will really be no suspense in this battle.  However, as Wang Yuze said, this is also somewhat risky.  It was obviously the same desperate fighting style as the British army.
