    "What's going on? Why are there gunfire over there? Has the Western Sichuan Army begun to attack us?" Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Jones said with a frown.  Now, the attack on Volta Mountain is the most critical moment. It is about to break through the Western Sichuan Army's defense line. If something unexpected happens, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

    "The Western Sichuan Army has begun to attack! Those arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys have no reason to send to the Volta Mountains, but they have invested their limited forces in a frontal attack. Do they think they can defeat us with their few people?  A heavily defended frontal line of defense?" Henry?  Wellesley said disdainfully.  Although, those defending the front are all Indian soldiers.  But many officers are British.  In addition, they number more than 30,000 people. Even if they cannot defeat the Western Sichuan Army, they should still have no problem holding the line of defense.

    "Yes, Jones, conquering Volta Mountain in front of us is the most important thing. The Western Sichuan Army will not be able to break through our frontal defense line for a while. When we capture Volta Mountain, we will have an absolute advantage.  . Order the front line to organize another attack! We must capture Volta Mountain!" Andrew, commander of the 32nd Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Smith said.

    Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Jones nodded, but he always had some bad premonitions in his heart.  The tenacity of the defenders at Volta Mountain far exceeded his expectations.  Originally, he thought that under the unexpected attack of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade, he could easily capture Volta Mountain.  But now it was beyond his imagination.  Although, the Gurkha Infantry Brigade easily captured the first line of defense of the Western Sichuan Army.  But for the second line of defense, nothing can be done.  But now, their casualties have been very high.

    But, Leo?  Brigadier General Jones also believed that the Western Sichuan Army must have reached the end of its strength. As long as it works harder, it will be able to defeat the Western Sichuan Army and seize the entire Volta Mountain position.  Even if something goes wrong with the frontal defense, they will still have the advantage.  Relying on the terrain conditions of Volta Mountain, they can advance and attack, and retreat and defend!

    However, at this moment, a large group of broken soldiers rushed towards their position. The cloth strips wrapped around their heads undoubtedly showed their identity. They were Indian soldiers defending the frontal defense line of the British and Indian troops.

    "Damn, why are you here? Aren't you defending the front line of defense?" Henry?  Wellesley was furious, pulled over an Indian Asan, and asked fiercely.

    "General, general. The Western Sichuan Army is too powerful. We have been defeated. The army has been completely defeated. Now the Western Sichuan Army is attacking here quickly!" The bearded Indian Asan replied with a look of horror.  .

    "Idiot! Even if there are 30,000 pigs, the Western Sichuan Army can't catch them all so quickly!" Henry?  Wellesley was furious and slapped the Indian Asan hard.  Indian Asan was knocked to the ground, but he didn't dare to resist and could only look at Henry resentfully?  wellesley.

    "Don't run, come back and resist the Western Sichuan Army. Otherwise we will be finished!" Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Jones shouted loudly.  If they were attacked by the Western Sichuan Army, it would be completely impossible for them to capture Volta Mountain.  If none of their goals were achieved despite heavy losses, then their battle could be considered a failure, and there would be no chance of a comeback.

    Only then did the other people react and immediately asked the guard battalion to collect the defeated troops and prepare to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "General, what should we do now? Should we give up the attack on Volta Mountain and resist the Western Sichuan Army first?" Allen, commander of the 21st Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Finn asked.

    Henry?  Wellesley was also completely panicked and didn't know what to do?  The originally good situation was completely reversed in an instant. This feeling of falling from heaven to resistance in an instant was unacceptable to him.

    "The attack cannot be stopped. Let these broken troops and the guard camp be added to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. I personally rushed to the front line of Volta Mountain to strengthen the attack on Volta Mountain. Only by winning Volta Mountain will we have room for change.  . Otherwise, we will definitely lose!" Leo, commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Jones said.

    "Okay, just do as Brigadier General Jones says!" Henry?  Wellesley didn't care about anything else now and quickly adopted Leo?  Jones's suggestion seemed to be to gather the defeated troops and arrange a defensive line.  Meanwhile, Leo?  Jones also rushed directly to the foot of Volta Mountain, preparing to personally order the troops to launch the strongest attack and capture Volta Mountain in one fell swoop.  This is their last chance.

    "Quick! Quick! Charge up, defeat those Indians, and surround the British. The final victory must belong to us!" The officers of the Eighth Brigade ordered loudly.  The weakness of the Indians completely exceeded their expectations. Just one charge defeated the Indian army.  You know, the total force invested by the Western Sichuan Army is only half of the defending Indian troops.??Such a victory made everyone in the Western Sichuan Army very satisfied.  After defeating the Indian army, the Eighth Brigade immediately began to make a detour, preparing to surround the British army.  At the same time, the 7th Brigade also divided into several troops and began to attack these defeated Indian troops and drive them away completely to prevent them from affecting the main battlefield.

    On Volta Mountain, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade also discovered that the Western Sichuan Army had broken through the frontal defense line of the British and Indian Army and was making a detour towards them.  After half a night of hard fighting, these soldiers were very tired. However, stimulated by this news, they seemed to have taken stimulants and once again devoted themselves to resisting the British troops with a hundredfold energy.  in the attack.

    "Haha, brothers, hold on! We must hold on. The Marshal's reinforcements are coming soon. By then, the British devils down here will become our prisoners!" The generals of the Ninth Brigade kept saying,  to encourage the soldiers.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Ta-ta-ta-ta!" The deep roar of mortars and the continuous roar of heavy machine guns resounded through the night sky.  Around the second line of defense at Volta Mountain, the British Army and the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army launched a fierce battle.  However, even now, the position is still in the hands of the 9th Brigade.  Although at this time, the Ninth Brigade had already paid the price of nearly one-third of the casualties.  But they still held their position firmly and did not let the British team take the position away from their hands.  Now, the Western Sichuan Army began to counterattack, and victory was about to be achieved.  They will not give up this easy victory.

    Leo, the commander of the Gurkha Infantry Brigade?  Brigadier General Jones almost rushed to the front line and asked the frontline officers to organize the most powerful offensive immediately. Volta Mountain must be captured no matter what.  Although, he saw that the soldiers, whether they were Gurkha soldiers or British soldiers, were very tired due to high-intensity fighting.  However, he had no choice.  If they cannot take Volta Mountain, they will face a battle of soldiers.  As a proud British officer, he would never allow this to happen.

    Soon, the British army began to attack, and this time the attack was more violent.  However, the Ninth Brigade guarding Volta Mountain also showed extremely tenacious fighting power and resisted their attack.

    The attack of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army was very smooth. It started from the frontal defense line of the British and Indian Army and went all the way back to the forward position set up by the British Army under Volta Mountain before stopping.  Henry?  Wellesley's guard camp gathered thousands of Indian troops and prepared to resist the attack of the Western Sichuan Army here. For Leo?  Brigadier General Jones bought time.

    "Fire! Hit me hard!" The officers of the 8th Brigade issued the combat order.  Mortars were set up one after another, and heavy machine guns began to slowly move forward.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Shells fell into the British and Indian troops one after another, taking away countless lives.  Under the cover of powerful firepower from mortars and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army launched a fierce attack.  As long as the enemy's last line of defense is breached, the main force of the British and Indian troops can be completely surrounded.  At that time, the victory of this war will be established.

    "Counterattack! Hold on, you must hold on!" Henry?  Wellesley was also sweating profusely.  Little does he know that this has reached the most critical moment.  He could no longer afford to lose. If he lost again, his end would be doomed.

    But, Henry?  The defense that Wellesley and the others worked so hard to organize did not have any effect.  Those Indian soldiers were already scared out of their wits. Even though they were forcibly gathered up by the British soldiers, when faced with the powerful firepower of the Western Sichuan Army, they did not have time to build defenses. After being bombarded by the Western Sichuan Army, they immediately collapsed.  .  They dropped their rifles and ran away.  Not only did it cause major holes in their defense, it also broke up the British team's defense.

    The soldiers of the Eighth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army seized this opportunity and launched a fierce attack.  Although the comrades in front were knocked to the ground, the soldiers behind continued to fight.

    "Grenade!" a platoon leader yelled.

    The next second, more than a dozen grenades flew into the British defense line, knocking them off their feet.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Western Sichuan Army quickly broke through the British and Indian Army's defense line.

    As more and more places were breached, the British and Indian troops had to retreat backwards.  The Western Sichuan Army also took advantage of the situation and occupied these areas.  Finally, the encirclement of the British and Indian troops was completed.

    Thousands of British troops plus thousands of Indian soldiers were surrounded in an area less than one kilometer long and wide under the Volta Mountains.  Outside, there are soldiers from the 8th and 7th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, and on the mountain, there are soldiers from the 9th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army.

    After learning that the battle plan was completed, Wang Yuze, who had been waiting all night, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
