    "Young Marshal, although this plan is a bit risky, if it succeeds, the rewards will be huge. If Lao Du can withstand the attack of the British team, I think this plan is feasible!" The Eighth Brigade  Su Hongguang, the brigade commander, said first.

    "Yes!" Wang Yuze nodded, and then continued: "There are two most important aspects of this plan. First, the Ninth Brigade must defend the defense line of Volta Mountain. Second, we must quickly break through the British and Indian troops.  The defense line is then interspersed to surround the British team attacking Volta Mountain. In this process, we don¡¯t even have to worry too much about destroying the British and Indian troops, as long as we can surround the British team attacking Volta Mountain. Then  , those Indian troops will be useless!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Young Marshal, please give this task to our Eighth Brigade! Our Eighth Brigade has been resting and recuperating these days and has already restored its combat strength. We guarantee that we will be able to break through the British and Indian army's defense line and then quickly make a roundabout way.  , surround the British troops attacking Volta Mountain!" Su Hongguang, commander of the 8th Brigade, immediately called for battle.

    "Young Marshal, let us, the Seventh Brigade, go up! Yesterday's daytime battle was just a trivial matter. Our Seventh Brigade promises not to disappoint the Young Marshal!"  The Eighth Brigade has seized the combat mission.

    "Wang Wei, first tell the Ninth Brigade my decision and ask them if they can hold the line of defense!" Wang Yuze said.  The most important thing is that the Ninth Brigade holds the defensive line of Volta Mountain.  Otherwise, Wang Yuze's plan would be nothing more than a castle in the air.  Even if they can defeat the British and Indian troops, if Volta Mountain is lost, it will put the Western Sichuan Army into an extremely dangerous situation.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Wang Wei nodded and immediately went to send a telegram.

    "As for attacking the British and Indian troops on the opposite side, we need to invest the maximum strength. Therefore, both the 7th and 8th brigades have to be mobilized. After defeating the British and Indian troops, the 8th Brigade is responsible for encircling the British troops in a roundabout way, and the 7th Brigade  It is responsible for clearing out those Indian troops so that they will not affect our battle against the British troops. However, the Seventh Brigade must be ready to assist the Eighth Brigade at any time. After all, those are tens of thousands of British elite troops!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Marshal! We promise to complete the mission!" All the generals of the 7th and 8th Brigades answered loudly.

    Volt Mountain, the position of the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, is still under heavy artillery fire.  The artillery of the Western Sichuan Army suppressed the artillery of the British and Indian Army, preventing them from attacking the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army.  At the same time, all the light and heavy firepower on the second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army poured firepower on the British Gurkha Infantry Brigade, the 21st Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Infantry Brigade on the first line of defense.  The second line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army is located on a hillside more than 20 meters high. It is commanding, allowing the Western Sichuan Army's firepower to be unleashed in the charge.  The British troops blocked several attacks, but were beaten back with numerous casualties. Their corpses were piled on the hillside.

    At the headquarters of the Ninth Brigade, Du Qizheng and other generals of the Ninth Brigade all looked very serious.  The British attack was very fierce, and the second line of defense was in danger several times. If reinforcements had not been dispatched in time, it would have been breached.  But even so, they could not guarantee how long the Ninth Brigade's second line of defense could hold.

    "Brigade Commander, the latest telegram from the Marshal!" At this time, the signal corpsman handed the telegram to Du Qizheng.

    Du Qizheng took it quickly and took a look, then laughed: "Haha, the young marshal is indeed a generous man! Call the marshal back. Even if our ninth brigade fights to the last soldier, we will ensure that Volta Mountain is under our control.  Among them!"

    "Yes, brigade commander!" The signal soldier immediately rushed to send the report.

    "Lao Du, what is the order from the young marshal?" Zhang Ruifeng, deputy commander of the 9th Brigade, asked.

    "See for yourself!" Du Qizheng handed the telegram to Zhang Ruifeng.

    "Haha, Marshal, it is indeed a good plan. However, in this case, the pressure on our ninth brigade will be up!" Zhang Ruifeng said.  According to Wang Yuze's plan, their ninth brigade will be under great pressure. Even if they win in the end, the entire brigade may suffer heavy losses.

    "The pressure is great! However, we have no choice. This is the only way for us to quickly defeat the British. Lao Zhang, if the front line fails, I will go there myself. If I die, the troops will be handed over to your command!"  Du Qizheng said.

    "Okay, Lao Du. If you die, I will come. If I die, I will come again. Even if we all die in battle, we will not let these British devils go!" Zhang Ruifeng also laughed.

    "Haha, okay! As expected, there is not a single coward in our ninth brigade. From now on, it's up to us!" Du Qizheng laughed.  He smiled very freely, even though he knew that no matter whether it was victory or defeat, the 9th Brigade would suffer great losses.  However, for the sake of the overall situation,The Ninth Brigade can only be sacrificed.  The sacrifice of the Ninth Brigade in exchange for victory in the war is completely worth it.

    After Wang Yuze received the telegram sent back by the Ninth Brigade, he immediately issued an order: "Everyone, the Ninth Brigade promises to defend the Volta Mountain defense line. Then, the next step is up to us. The Seventh and Eighth Brigades prepare immediately,  The attack will be launched in twenty minutes. This time, there will be no artillery preparations, we will launch a surprise attack and defeat the British and Indian troops on the opposite side in one fell swoop!"

    "Yes, Marshal!" All the generals promised. After saluting Wang Yuze, they immediately left the headquarters and began to prepare for the attack.  Everyone is very excited. If we win, it will be a huge victory.  They will completely end this war.

    The sleeping soldiers of the 7th and 8th brigades were woken up one after another.  Although there was a war going on in the direction of Volta Mountain, it did not affect their sleep.  Before receiving the order, if they sleep for one more minute, they will have more energy.  After being woken up, everyone knew that there was a mission coming soon, and they all gathered with their wounded weapons and prepared to start the attack according to the order.

    Twenty minutes later, the time is nowmidnight.  The 7th and 8th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army quietly jumped out of the trenches and moved toward the British and Indian Army positions. The first ones were the 1st Battalion of the 7th Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the 8th Brigade.  Their two battalions will be responsible for quickly tearing apart the British and Indian army's defense line and opening a passage for the large troops behind.

    The thick fog still has not dissipated. The soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army can use the cover of the thick fog to get as close as possible to the British and Indian army's defense line.  Compared with the British army, the vigilance of the British and Indian troops was much worse.  When the British army first started to attack Volta Mountain, they were also very alert, fearing that they would be attacked by the Western Sichuan Army.  However, as time passed, there was still no movement from the Western Sichuan Army on the opposite side, which made the British and Indian troops relax. In their opinion, now that Volta Mountain has been violently attacked, the Western Sichuan Army should go to reinforce Volta Mountain.  , it is impossible to attack them.  Therefore, the relaxed British and Indian troops only arranged a small number of sentries and then ignored them.

    Those Indian Asans were all drowsy. Although they were sentries, they did not play the role of sentries at all. They were sleeping in the trenches with their guns in their hands. Even the Western Sichuan Army came near them.  Do not know at all.

    The first two battalions of the Western Sichuan Army immediately broke into the trenches of the British and Indian troops. They used daggers and bayonets as much as possible to avoid alerting other British and Indian troops.  However, the accident still happened.  Less than five minutes after the Western Sichuan Army entered the position, a killed Indian Asan let out a heartbreaking and inhuman scream before he died.  Suddenly, the entire Indian Asan on the battlefield was awakened.

    "Fight!" Gao Desheng, the first battalion of the 7th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, immediately issued the order.

    "Boom! Boom!" The mortars that the Western Sichuan Army had already set up began to show their power.  Heavy machine guns also started firing at the trenches of the British and Indian troops. Those British and Indian troops who had just emerged were immediately shot to the ground.

    In the rear, the main forces of the 7th and 8th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army also immediately launched an attack.

    The awakened British and Indian troops were in a panic and were unable to withstand the attack of the Western Sichuan Army.  Some people rushed toward the position with weapons in an attempt to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army, but more people fled in panic and ran away without caring about anything.  Some British and Indian troops fled in the same direction as the British troops attacked the Volta Mountains, and others fled directly to the hinterland of India.  It can be seen how bad the combat effectiveness of these Indian Asans is.

    In less than twenty minutes, the Western Sichuan Army successfully penetrated the entire position of the British and Indian Army, and then began to break through.  After the position was breached, the British and Indian troops lost the courage to resist and fled one after another.

    If they can muster the courage to fight the Western Sichuan Army, the result will be completely different.  After all, these British-Indian troops numbered more than 30,000, and their weapons and equipment were not bad. If they could desperately resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army, it would not be easy for the Western Sichuan Army to win.

    After breaking through the British-Indian Army's position, the two brigades of the Western Sichuan Army immediately began to attack according to the previous division of labor.  The Eighth Brigade immediately attacked in the direction of Volta Mountain, preparing to take the British Army's retreat.  The Seventh Brigade continued to attack the British and Indian troops, scattering them, and even if they could not eliminate them, they would be defeated.  In this case, the Western Sichuan Army can focus its main energy on the decisive battle with the British Army.

    The gunshots from the British and Indian army positions attracted the attention of the British troops who were attacking Volta Mountain.  Now, the battle at Volta Mountain is in full swing. The British troops have already broken through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line twice, but were driven down by the Western Sichuan Army. Although there were corpses scattered all over the ground, they believed that the Western Sichuan Army  The army is almost unable to support itself, and they are about to win.
