It's better to conquer them than to command the steel torrent

Chapter 114 Chapter | Go to hell!

"Sniper!"

"Be careful! Stay behind cover!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crisp sound of Tokarev semi-automatic rifles echoed in the streets.

The unknown enemy sniper fired several more shots in a split second, hitting two more people.

Shang Ke saw his helmet falling and spinning a few meters away, with a horrifying hole torn on the top by a bullet.

He grabbed Lillian's collar and pulled her back to the corner next to the wall.

The young girl was hit by a bullet in the abdomen and chest, and she curled up and whimpered in pain.

"Medic! Help is needed here!" Shang Ke regretted it the moment he shouted this subconsciously, because Lillian was the medic.

The third type of soldiers are certainly the most suitable candidates for medical soldiers, but their number is insufficient. For example, the cavalry reconnaissance company has only one person in the company headquarters, and most of the medical soldiers in each squad are other people.

"Ah...it hurts...it hurts so much..." She trembled and grabbed Shang Ke's arm tightly.

"Mafi is here, Lillian, it's okay, Mafi is here!" The latter hurriedly took out a painkiller injection from the first aid kit, trying to relieve her pain.

However, before she could open the envelope, the little hand loosened its grip weakly, and the light in the girl's eyes faded.

Eighteen years of life passed away at this moment.

"Suppressive fire!"

"Lieutenant! I think I can sense that sniper!"

"Drag the person who was shot away!"

"Give me blanks! Get ready to fire the grenade!"

The Hungarian officers and soldiers nearby were shouting anxiously.

Shang Ke's breathing became heavier. He reached out and pulled the necklace from Lillian's neck and put it in his pocket.

His eyes flushed slightly as he turned and gave orders: "Use anti-aircraft guns to bombard that house. Everyone, keep moving forward. We can't stop here!"

Several soldiers risked climbing onto the truck, turning the crank, and manipulating the anti-aircraft gun to fire fiercely at the enemy sniper's hiding place.

"Dong dong dong dong——"

More than ten shells made the small building shake.

Bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere! Smoke and dust were flying!
Not long after, Shang Ke, who was extremely annoyed, took a submachine gun and led a squad into the small building.

As a result, the furious female sergeant Dodotia rushed to the front with murderous intent.

She ran up to the second floor in two steps and went straight into the room closest to the street.

Then, shouting and cursing came from inside.

Shang Ke rushed in right after him, and what came into his sight was a messy room - broken bricks were everywhere, and the walls were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns and were beyond sight.

A female Imperial Russian sniper was lying on the ground, her legs broken and covered in blood, leaving a long trail of blood.

"Da da da - da da -"

An angry Shang Ke pulled the trigger and shot Dodotia to end the incident.

"...Tomorrow is her birthday...You son of a bitch will go to hell...You will go to hell..." Dodotia cursed while crying.

Heartbroken, she dragged the enemy's body, picked it up, and threw it off the balcony.

Shang Ke did not stop it. He and the men present were silent.

The battle continues.

It’s 5:30 a.m., 12 minutes until sunrise.

A platoon of the cavalry reconnaissance company broke through the enemy's obstruction and approached the fork in the road from the side and rear. Some enemies noticed the movement here and hurriedly turned their guns.

The soldier driving the car pushed open the door, slammed on the brakes, then rolled out of the car and lay down.

The truck towing the car from behind slowly moved forward a few meters due to inertia until it rear-ended the car.

Now, parked two or three hundred meters away on the straight street is the multi-turret heavy tank.

Apparently, the other party also noticed something unusual, and both the main turret and the sub-turret were rotating towards this direction.

"Fire!" Shang Ke shouted.

"Now's the time! Light them!" Lieutenant Malton also shouted loudly.

The soldier operating the anti-aircraft gun stepped on the pedal hard, and a muzzle flame more than one meter long suddenly spurted out from the muzzle!
This 72-K type 25mm anti-aircraft gun was developed simultaneously by the Ivan Ross military industry department when imitating the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun. Simply put, it is a smaller version with good power, and can penetrate a 300mm thick vertical steel plate at a distance of 43 meters.

With such penetration capability, it is easy to deal with multi-turret tanks with light armor.

Some Imperial Russian infantrymen were still firing at the trucks with rifles and light machine guns, but the incoming bullets were blocked by the gun shield.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten armor-piercing incendiary bullets mixed with tracer grenades flew out of the barrel!

In this dim environment before dawn, the trajectory of the tracer grenade is extremely dazzling!
A burst of flames was reflected in Shang Ke's pupils.

The multi-turret tank that had been rampant for a long time exploded violently under continuous bombardment. The gasoline and ammunition inside burst into flames, and it turned into an eleven-person fully automatic crematorium.

What was surprising was that two Imperial Russian tank soldiers, covered in flames, rushed out, crawling and struggling in pain on the ground.

The screams became distorted due to the heat of the flames, like screams from hell.

"Don't shoot! Attention! Don't shoot!" Shang Ke, still angry, shouted to stop him.

You will feel the pain in these last moments!

It’s 5:41 a.m., 1 minutes until sunrise.

With their greatest support destroyed, the Russian soldiers, trapped on both sides, were forced to retreat.

After paying a huge price, the Hungarian army finally captured this fork in the road.

On the other side of the river, the convoy carrying the engineering company also arrived, and the two howitzers followed at the end.

To avoid being exposed, they drove at a low speed without turning on their headlights, slower than expected.

After making contact, the engineers began to move explosives and various blasting equipment from the trucks.

"...Hold this area and buy them time to set up the explosives."

Shang Ke quickly set up a defensive position, hoping to hold off the enemy's counterattack for as long as possible.

Enemy reinforcements were on the way, perhaps three hundred, four hundred, five hundred men? No one knew how long they could hold out, so they could only take things one step at a time.

Not long after being freed from the fierce battle, before the officers and soldiers of Company A and the Cavalry Reconnaissance Company had time to catch their breath, a battalion of the 232nd Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Russia rushed in from the north to join the battle.

As the sun jumped above the horizon, the engineers activated the gates, and the six outlets of the Tisalek Dam immediately gushed out a torrent of water!
"Damn it! These despicable Huns!" Lieutenant Colonel Sedov immediately panicked and shouted angrily, "Quickly destroy them!"

With the help of fresh troops, the imperial Russian soldiers attacked the fork in the road from three directions with the support of mortars.

The Hungarian officers and soldiers were outnumbered and had been fighting for a long time, so their positions were in danger.

Shang Ke stared at the edge of the cliff, his brow furrowed.

Compared with the huge amount of river water accumulated in the upstream reservoir, the drainage efficiency of the dam outlet seems to be too low?
A lieutenant of engineers smiled wryly and said, "In fact, sir, we knew from the beginning that waiting for drainage was impossible. It would take at least a hundred hours for the dam to empty the reservoir."

He added: "The captain is personally directing the placement of explosives, probably..."

"There's no time." Shang Ke interrupted him directly, turning around and saying, "We can't hold on any longer. We must retreat. Notify the artillery on the other side to aim at the dam!"

"call out--"

Just at this moment, a shrill scream was heard in the sky.
