Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

The company commander discovered that a large group of enemies were pressing forward from behind. Although his face was grim, he still ordered, "Prepare the grenade launchers."

In the exchange of fire between the two sides, although the infantry company rewarded by the system was equipped with 98k which was slightly better than the opponent's weapon and their shooting level was also better, the soldiers of the infantry company were still hit one by one.

Of course, the opposing troops were killed more, maintaining a ratio of one infantry company killed for every three killed on the opposing side.

Although he was saddened by the soldiers falling one by one, the company commander waited until the enemy formation was a little dense before ordering: "Fire all the shells at the dense enemy formation."

The grenade launcher team had been prepared long ago. After receiving the order, they immediately measured the distance, adjusted the angle, and placed the shells into the grenade launcher.

"boom."

"boom."

Because the second battalion commander relaxed his guard, the troops joining the battlefield from the rear were relatively dense. The first round of fourteen shells all hit the densely populated area, taking away forty or fifty lives.

Soon the second round of shells fell, killing another thirty or forty people.

The company commander took advantage of the situation and fired all five rounds of bullets from the 98k rifle magazine. After attaching the bayonet, he shouted, "Brothers, attach the bayonets and kill."

The remaining soldiers also put on bayonets and rushed forward with the company commander. Soon the soldiers on both sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The Third Battalion originally had nearly four hundred people, but in the recent exchange of fire and the grenade launcher bombing, one hundred and thirty or fourteen of them were killed, leaving more than two hundred people. They had the advantage in numbers.

The infantry company had a full strength of 206 people. After taking out a platoon of 50 people, plus a squad guarding the city wall and those who died in battle, there were still more than 90 people left.

In the close combat, the strength of the infantry company was revealed. In the first round of bayonet fighting, forty or fifty people fell on the opposite side, and more than ten of the infantry company fell.

After the second and third rounds, with continuous stabbing, after more than ten minutes, the other side left more than a hundred corpses, and the remaining eighty or ninety people collapsed and retreated without orders.

"Commander, the enemy is coming, let's retreat quickly." When the second battalion commander returned to the rear, he immediately shouted.

He was almost defeated. He had nearly 400 people attacking, but less than 100 were left. Although the enemy had a small number of people, who knew if he would be the next to die? He was scared.

Now, the second and first battalions combined have only about two hundred people.

With only 400 of his own men, he was unable to defeat the enemy's more than 100 men. With only 200 of his own men against the dozens of them, he had even less confidence.

When the first battalion commander saw the miserable condition of the second battalion commander's troops, he felt sympathetic and began to feel a little afraid of the opposing troops.

The regiment commander looked at the remaining men in the first and second battalions and said with embarrassment: "Third Battalion..."

"Commander, there has been no news from the Third Battalion for so long, it must have been wiped out. It will be too late if we don't leave now." The commander still had illusions about the Third Battalion, but the commander of the Second Battalion said.

The leader sighed and said, "Retreat."

The commanders of the first and second battalions were immediately delighted and immediately led their troops to evacuate towards the west city.

The company commander led the remaining 60 or so men to lean against the walls on both sides of the street, began to recover their strength, and waited for the next battle.

"Reload bullets quickly and prepare for the next battle," he ordered.

The 98k rifle can only be loaded with 5 bullets at a time. Although everyone carries bullets, the process of taking out the bullets and loading them may be the moment that determines life and death.

After loading the bullets, the company commander ordered: "Everyone take a rest, recover your strength, and prepare to fight again."

While they were resting, a firefight broke out behind them and the company commander then remembered that a row of people were still fighting off the enemy on the flank.

He did not dare to be careless, and immediately stood up and said, "Come on, follow me for support."

When the company commander arrived at the intersection where the firefight took place, he discovered that the people involved in the firefight were the soldiers he had arranged to guard the city wall.

These 15 people had a light machine gun, so the more than people on the opposite side were suppressed and beaten.

"Destroy this unit first." The company commander ignored the inquiry and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him.

With the addition of more than 60 people, the situation that the Third Battalion had been struggling to hold on with its numerical advantage was instantly broken.

The third battalion commander gave the order: "Retreat."

These people were located behind the company's rear, and since they could come here, the company commander knew that a row of soldiers must have been killed in the battle.

Although he wanted to avenge his platoon of soldiers, the company commander knew that what he should do now was to occupy Wen County. Therefore, he should conserve his strength and eliminate another army of several hundred people in the city.

"Stop the pursuit." The company commander immediately stopped the pursuing troops and led his men slowly towards the place where the battle had just taken place.

When passing by the battlefield and rushing towards the city, the company commander was a little surprised that he did not find a single enemy.

After completely controlling Wen County, the company commander was sure that the enemy should have withdrawn. Looking at the remaining seventy people, the company commander sighed.

His mission was to capture and defend Wen County, but in the current situation, with only seventy people and lack of automatic firepower, he could not defend the county at all, so he could only ask for help from the regiment commander.

The company commander called the scout and asked him to inform the regiment commander of the battle situation in Wen County and the current situation of the troops, and wait for the regiment commander to make follow-up arrangements.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new county town and received a bonus infantry company."

When Fang Jian received the system message in Xing County, he did not pay much attention to the battle situation in Wen County, but was worried about the entire battle situation.

At around eleven o'clock at the temporary base of Li Zhongwu's troops, he was awakened by his men. Li Zhongwu, who had just put on his clothes, saw the scout.

"Let's talk about the battle situation." Li Zhongwu waved his hand and did not pay much attention to the battle situation in Wen County. Wen County was just a small county, and its location was not important, so there shouldn't be many enemies.

After listening to the scout's introduction, Li Zhongwu's face suddenly became serious: "You mean, there is a regiment of troops in Wen County?"

"Report to the commander, yes." The scout confirmed loudly.

Li Zhongwu took a deep breath, asked someone to bring a map, and said to the guard, "Quick, go get the chief of staff."

The more Li Zhongwu looked at the map, the more frightened he became. He asked the scout solemnly, "How many of you have left?"

"There are only seventy-one people left, but except for the rifle bullets, we have used up all the other bullets, grenades and artillery shells." The scout said with a sad face.

Soon Chief of Staff Yang Pingchang arrived and Li Zhongwu told him what happened in Wen County. The Chief of Staff also came to the map in surprise.

After a long time, Yang Pingchang said with fear: "Fortunately, Captain Liu defeated this regiment."

"Oh no! Send a message quickly and ask Captain Fang to suspend tomorrow's plan." Yang Pingchang suddenly shouted.

Li Zhongwu was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The enemy's deployment in Wen County must be intended to attack Xing County from Wen County after our attack, thus cutting off our retreat," Yang Pingchang explained anxiously.

"If the enemy knew that we had conquered Wen County, would Han Zhifu and Ma Jinwei lead their troops to encircle Wen County?"
