"Boom boom boom"

With the support of the American artillery fire, Colonel Robin Hood commanded the Canadian 25th Brigade to launch another attack on the Tieyuan defense line held by the volunteers.

The Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment, which took over from the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Canadian Infantry and was responsible for the main attack in the direction of Neutron Mountain, took the lead. With the support of the 2nd Royal Engineer Battalion and four "Firefly" tanks, it advanced rapidly and soon

He threw himself at the foot of Zhongzi Mountain.

Then the commander of the Princess Patricia Light Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen, who was standing on the command tank, gave the order, and a Canadian company-level assault group reinforced by engineers rushed towards the main position on the top of the mountain like wolves and tigers.

However, when they just entered the bushes at the foot of the mountain, a series of explosions trapped the Canadian company-level assault group. Then Lieutenant Colonel Cohen saw Canadian soldiers with severed arms and legs one after another.

After being lifted down, what was even more terrifying was.

This continuous casualty seemed never-ending. In just ten minutes, there were as many as 30 casualties. In order to transfer and treat these more than 30 seriously injured people, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen had to send up to four times the number of troops.

Meet minimum operating requirements.

This caused the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment, which only had six companies, to lose an entire company of troops for no reason. If it was just this, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen could grit his teeth and get through it. No one knew the key.

How many butterfly mines have the Chinese scattered in the bushes at the foot of the mountain? If this continues, the Princess Patricia Light Infantry will no longer need to be an infantry regiment, and can be directly transformed into a medical regiment.

"Boom~"

When a butterfly mine exploded, accompanied by the screams of Canadian soldiers, it once again spread throughout the battlefield. Lieutenant Colonel Cohen could no longer bear it and turned to roar at Major Pike, the battalion commander of the 2nd Royal Engineer Battalion who had reinforced him.

Said: "Are all your engineers and soldiers blind pigs? How come they can't even find a mine?"

Major Parker, who was scolded as a pig, immediately looked aggrieved: "It's not that we don't want to get rid of them, the problem is that those butterfly mines are so abnormal! They are all made of plastic, making it impossible for metal mine detectors to detect them.

Not to mention, its own structure is also very sensitive, and it will explode at the slightest touch, which cannot be ruled out at all."

Major Pike was almost crying as he talked. He was also a veteran of World War II. He fought all the way from the Normandy landing to Cohen in Germany. He had never seen any kind of landmines, but he happened to use the Chinese butterfly mine.

The method and the completely plastic structure make the metal mine detector almost ineffective.

The unique fuze firing structure makes the engineers go crazy. What's more important is that this kind of landmine is too sensitive. It will explode as long as it is touched even slightly. It can't be found, cannot be dismantled, and the mine that explodes so fast makes it difficult to find.

The 2nd Royal Engineer Battalion, which was responsible for the support, suffered greatly.

As a result, half of the more than 30 seriously injured soldiers were soldiers of the Royal Second Engineer Battalion. For this reason, Major Pike has sent three batches of reinforcements, but it still has no effect. He can only let the Chinese Butterfly Mine

Exploded to no end.

Looking at the frustrated Major Pike, Lieutenant Colonel Cohen had all kinds of complaints in his heart, but in the end they could only turn into deep helplessness. Fortunately, he was a veteran in the battlefield after all, and he knew that he could not just act recklessly in a war.

, so he stared angrily

Pike took one look and ignored this useless engineer battalion commander. Instead, he grabbed the command intercom and ordered loudly: "The armored troops and artillery troops hit me hard towards the top of the mountain. The company-level assault group retreats. The company-level assault group retreats."

With E Company, charge up from both wings!"

As soon as the order was given, four "Firefly" tanks modified by the British based on the American "Sherman" tank immediately rumbled towards the foot of the mountain. Immediately, they raised their slender 83.3mm main gun barrels high and followed the command.

The long shooting command was roared out, and the four tanks suddenly spit out four streaks of scorching flames.

At the same time, the Canadian artillerymen located behind the Princess Patricia Light Infantry also quickly adjusted the shooting angles of their mortars and 75mm howitzers. Then a sound of gunfire pierced the sky, and dozens of artillery shells were fired without hesitation.

It tilted to the position of the third platoon of the heavy fire company on Neutron Mountain.

Immediately the earth shook and the mountains shook, and fire shot into the sky!

With the help of the Canadian armored force and artillery force's artillery cover at all costs, the Company and E Company of the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Regiment immediately bypassed the bushes at the foot of the mountain from the left and right wings, like two flying sharp arrows, fiercely

inserted into the main position of Neutron Mountain.

Seeing his own soldiers rushing to the mountainside in an instant, Cohen subconsciously tightened the lens of the telescope, his face trembling with nervousness. In the lens, his soldiers had rushed to less than 30 meters away from the main position of Neutron Mountain. As long as

If he works harder, the mountain that caused heavy casualties to the Canadian army will belong to him, Cohen.

"We won this battle!"

When the supporting artillery fire began to extend back, the soldiers of Company and E Company had already rushed to a place less than 20 meters away from the main position. Some brave Canadian soldiers had even crossed a foxhole in the front and began to rush towards the trench in the rear.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Cohen's past experience, at this level, no matter how stubborn the defenders were, they would not be able to reverse the defeat. So he began to exhale excitedly, holding on to the communicator, waiting for the Canadian flag to be raised on the top of the mountain.

, and immediately reported the victory to the rear.

However, just when he was expecting his flag to be raised, there was a sudden "boom~" on the main position of Neutron Mountain. The thick smoke and the sudden rise of soil immediately obscured the sight of Cohen and others, but they

However, it did not cut off access to location information.

Because in addition to the explosion, there were also strong screams and wails...

"It's... it's... it's a broadsword mine!"

The moment the explosion sounded on the top of the mountain, Major Pike, commander of the Royal 2nd Engineer Battalion, said the name of the deadly weapon. Cohen's face immediately turned pale after hearing this, and he subconsciously crossed himself several times on his chest with his hand: "God

Bless, God bless..."

Lieutenant Colonel Cohen muttered silently several times, but God didn't seem to be at home today, so Cohen's devout prayers naturally became meaningless, because when the dust fell and the smoke dispersed with the wind, all that could be seen were craters like the surface of the moon.

, are the Canadian soldiers who cover the entire hilltop position, lying dead and wounded.

"Oh my god, what have the Chinese done?"

Seeing this, Cohen roared loudly and prepared to press the last reserve team up, but before he could make a move, two 14.5mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, and four black holes were pointed straight from the muzzle.
