In the Italian coalition command in the rear, after learning that a division of the Zhongxun team attacked an Austrian regiment for two consecutive days but suffered heavy casualties, he not only did not express sympathy, but instead laughed and gloated that the Chinese were overestimating their abilities and should suffer some hardships. Now it deserves it. As the only flat valley defense zone in the Zhongxun team, Xizhong's defense zone is between the two mountains, about 5.5 kilometers long. This section of the Zhongxun team is better than Austria.

The defense line is about two meters high, so the Chinese team dares to launch a charge from top to bottom. The biggest problem of the Austrians is that they lack troops. The area where they are responsible for defense is just like the bottle mouth of a gourd, with a length of only five kilometers, and behind them is the Lodrone Plain. The Austrian army's heavy artillery is on the top of the two mountains. Both sides have the advantage and are both areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Chinese team's defense line is higher, and the Austrian defense line is narrow and difficult to attack with cannons to help.

Therefore, after heavy losses, the Chinese team had to change their fighting style. On the third day, the Chinese team only carried out artillery and shooting, but did not dare to charge again. However, the Chinese team's gunning accuracy was indeed unsatisfactory, and the wire in front of the Austrian trenches was jingling.

It turned out that World War I brought the development of trench warfare to the extreme. Land mines were buried in front of the trenches, wire was installed, and a Maxim heavy machine gun was placed behind every fifty meters to block the enemy's charge. In order to prevent the enemy from sneak attacking at night, bottles and can boxes would be hung on the wire mesh. Once the enemy did anything, the can box on the wire would be moved and made a jingle sound. The Chinese team could not attack the Austrians, and most of the bullets floated on it. The can box sounded like a sound.

Seeing that the Chinese soldiers were tired, the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Regiment discussed with their subordinates and ordered the 73rd Regiment to launch a counter-charge. Originally, the 73rd Regiment was not afraid to take action because of its weak force, but after contacting these days, it was found that the difference in combat effectiveness of the Chinese team was nothing different from that of the African natives. So the 18th Division asked his superiors for instructions, and the commander of the 18th Division agreed to his plan. So the Austrians took advantage of the Chinese people's dinner late.

, moved the barbed wire in front of his trench and took away the mines. The next morning, with the help of artillery, launched a charge. The Chinese soldiers were a little confused. If the Austrians had not stepped on the mines in front of the Chinese positions, it would have made the Austrians jump into the trench directly. But even so, the Chinese soldiers were caught off guard. After resisting in panic for a while, the Austrians rushed to the attack after testing the Chinese resistance.

Originally, the Second Division of the Central ** team participated in the war was composed of new recruits. Although the Japanese instructors were strict in discipline, new recruits were new recruits. The atmosphere of defeat in the past few days made morale depressed. The attack of the Olidi people made these people scattered in panic. The officers shouted that shooting the deserters could not effectively build a line of defense, so they had to retreat.

Seeing this, Haubenstock devoted all the two main battalions and two supplementary battalions. After paying the price of more than 300 casualties, the Austrians of a regiment drove away the Chinese soldiers from a brigade of three regiments.

The Second Brigade of the Chinese ** team retreated two kilometers to continue to block the attack. The Austro-Hungarians took advantage of the victory and pursued it. The two sides fought fiercely again in the village of Selto, where the Second Brigade brigade was located.

In order to regain the position, the commander of the Second Brigade Xizhong personally led the army to counterattack, but was still defeated by the Austrian 73rd Regiment. With the support of other Chinese teams, Xizhong had no choice but to lead the defeated army of the Second Brigade to retreat five kilometers to the Baglino town defense line. The casualties of both sides on the offense and defense this day were extremely serious, and the battle was fought until dark, and the Austrians were afraid of ambushing and stop attacking.

The 73rd Regiment of the Austro-Hungarian Army occupied the village of Selto. Seeing the mess in Selto village, the Chinese abandoned countless tents and leather shoes, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers laughed. Haubenstock ordered the construction of defense lines and sent troops to the mountains on both sides, and at the same time asked the soldiers to send the wounded soldiers back. Then he returned to the location of the 73rd Regiment headquarters to generate electricity to the superior 18th Division, saying that he had won a great victory and defeated the Chinese and one division with one regiment. He captured a Chinese prisoner of acre of land.

At about one o'clock in the morning at night, Wang Maoru looked at the time and ordered the sword to be unsheathed, and the main elite fourth division attacked.

More than 6,000 soldiers of the Fourth Division, carrying bayonets and light machine guns, secretly rushed down from the mountains on both sides with breastplates hanging on their chests. The commander of the Fourth Brigade Kang Dongsheng personally led the team and led the guard company. The 28th Regiment came down from the east side of the valley, while the 29th Regiment and the 30th Regiment came down from the west side of the valley. The Chinese carried the 37th Bazooka and brought the bayonet with the e1 rifle, the S1 general machine gun and the C1 submachine gun. The grenades at waist opened the lid, and were ready to fight at any time. They rushed down with a gritted teeth on their heads.

The Austrians had just occupied the village of Selto in the afternoon and only built a defense line. When attacking the village of Selto, the Austrians destroyed the only defensive position in the village of Selto. The most important thing is that after these days of battle, Austria despised the Chinese team very much. Today they captured about a regiment of Chinese soldiers. They did not expect the Chinese to dare to fight back, and even more unexpectedly, the Chinese would attack at night.

During the First World War, almost all the battles took place after 8 am and ended before 5 pm, as if they were going to work and getting off work. After this point, both sides stopped fighting and rested and ate, and then started an attack after eating the next morning after eating.

The fierce shelling stunned the 73rd Austro-Hungarian Regiment, and they were also frightened by the powerful Chinese artillery fire. In the past few days, the Chinese only had a few Japanese 75 field cannons and the lightest 50-infantry cannons. Where did this cannon come from? After a shelling, the 73rd Regiment of Haubenstock was killed and injured. The sound of the cannon stopped, and the Chinese immediately shouted and rushed forward with guns in a rush. But the remaining Austro-Hungarian soldiers immediately fought back under the organization of the commander, but the Chinese attack was too fierce, and the 73rd Regiment of Night Battle retreated south under the leadership of the deputy commander Aben Schneider.

However, the guard of the 6th Brigade of the Fourth Division had long been leaping from the mountains on both sides of the valley, cutting off the 73rd Regiment's retreat, resulting in the 73rd Regiment being besieged and all annihilated. At the same time, the 14th Brigade under the Fourth Division of the Chinese, led by the brigade commander Wu Jiangcheng, rushed towards the Austro-Hungarian defense line overnight.

Due to Haubenstock's underestimation of the enemy, he only left half of the soldiers in the battalion of soldiers on the original position to defend a long line of defense, which led to the Oli's enemy being unable to take care of the head and tail. The Austro-Hungarian 73rd Regiment underestimated the enemy and reduced the defensive soldiers in the trenches, especially at night, it was even more difficult to support each other. The 14th Brigade of the Central ** team captured the trenches. The panicked Haubenstock requested artillery fire from the rear, but hit an ammunition depot of the 73rd Regiment and accidentally exploded, killing many of his own people.

Haubenstock led all the soldiers who stayed behind to fight back and encountered the Chinese team, but was hit head-on. This army was not a half-year battle-making army that had been fighting with them for three days, but a battle-prone China Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Haubenstock had no choice but to retreat to the second front line, and many Austro-Hungarian soldiers in the rear did not know that they had been defeated. The 14th Brigade rushed too hard and it was difficult to communicate at night, so it was so difficult to pursue until dawn that it ran to the rear of the enemy.

"Up, go ahead, damn, squad, squad leader Zang Hao, the third battalion of the 35th Regiment of the 14th Brigade wearing a steel helmet, greeted his subordinates and said, the enemy's bullets kept flying over his head, with light, which scared everyone to look up.

At this time, Diao Delong was still having fun and joking, saying, "Geng, big man, can't you be so horny? Let you eat so much and grow so big, otherwise you will crawl over on the ground?"

"Get out of here." Geng Ming cursed.

Diao Delong said again: "Ergouzi, Ergouzi, why do you say you are so big and have such a big head? How easy it is to get shot."

"Don't let your mother's heart, I will never get shot." Long Ergou finally rose from a recruit to a veteran. Because Yuan Zhihua came, he was holding a rifle, unlike Yuan Zhihua carrying a Li-Enfield rifle (more than 2,000 were confiscated from Indian soldiers in Singapore), and he also had to carry four 53-round machine gun drums. Fortunately, Yuan Zhihua practiced martial arts since childhood. Although he was thin, he was covered in muscles. These weapons were carried by everyone and were walking on the ground.

There were eleven people in their squad, nine long spears, one light machine gun and one submachine gun. The squad leader Zang Hao and the grenadier Geng Ming, Ren Bai bench, Li Erpao was the first combat group, the submachine gunner Lao Xiao and Lao Fang, Diao Delong was a combat group, the machine gunner Lao Huang took Lao Shu, Long Ergou and the recruit Yuan Zhihua were a combat group, and the three groups advanced in an inverted triangle formation. The left and right wings were two combat groups of the squad leader and Lao Xiao, and behind was the support of Lao Huang's machine gun team. Under the shiny moonlight, everyone tried their best to move forward.

Unlike ordinary troops, Wang Maoru's army rarely had night blindness. Who made this army in the Northeast where "beat the rod and roe deer and scooped fish, and pheasants flew into the rice pot" has extremely rich material resources. In addition to the potato, sauerkraut and dried wild vegetables with some monotony in winter, there are wild vegetables everywhere in summer, birds and animals everywhere, and food is extremely abundant. In contrast, the Northwest Army, the loess high slopes, with few foods, single varieties, and few meats, and generally suffering from night blindness, the Northeast Army is indeed far superior to them in material terms.

"Note, there is a sound in front of you." Ren Bantang, who had a sharp ear, said in a low voice. The sound came, which was a series of foreign words.

Zang Hao immediately made a move to embrace his arms. Lao Xiao on the other side knew that this was the meaning of surrounding him, nodded and took Lao Fang and Diao Delong to the other side. Zang Hao, who had the bench and Geng Ming, lurked from the left side. Lao Huang, who was responsible for supporting the support in the middle, quietly took a drum from Yuan Zhihua, pressed it on the machine gun, slowly pulled the bolt, and whispered: "Follow me a while, don't run around, especially Xinjiapi. If you get rid of the bullet, I will turn around and stuff the drum into your asshole. Lao Shu, the grenade is ready."

"Yeah." Lao Shu said.

Yuan Zhihua hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, Singapore, not Singapore."

"Okay, add new skin." Old Huang smiled badly. (To be continued...)
