"Correspondent, inform the troops in the forward position that they cannot hide at this time. Even if a shell hits their head, they will destroy the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles!"
Seeing the enemy's artillery shells falling like raindrops on the positions of the three armies, Li Qiufan's heart trembled.
But he couldn't help but feel any emotion at this time, because the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were getting closer and closer to the front-line defense positions.
Under such circumstances, if enemy tanks and armored vehicles rush into the position, the entire corps will be at the mercy of others.
Therefore, even if Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to issue orders to the troops in the forward position, he would have to repel the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles no matter what.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the soldiers at the forward position did not enter the artillery holes as usual. Instead, they controlled the combat artillery under the enemy's artillery fire and bombarded the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles.
However, under the fierce enemy artillery fire, nearly half of the combat defense artillery was blown up, and the remaining ones were not enough to stop the enemy tanks and armored vehicles.
After seeing this scene, Li Qiufan felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he could no longer stand still.
It was not that he was afraid, but that the hope of survival for everyone in the First Corps was right in front of him. As long as he withstood the enemy's attack this time, rapid reinforcements would be in place.
All Li Qiufan felt was self-blame. He felt that he was sorry to everyone in the First Corps for not being able to lead them to survive and not bringing them home.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the First Army's position and ran directly across the trenches towards the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles.
In this battlefield filled with explosions and gunfire, Li Qiufan vaguely heard: "Brothers, go home!"
And just when Li Qiufan thought he was hallucinating, the figure, shot twice, rushed to an enemy tank, and then resolutely fired the grenade wrapped around his waist.
As an explosion rang out, the figure disappeared from the battlefield, but the tank he blocked also stopped where it was and did not move forward any further.
However, all this did not end. More and more figures rushed out of the trenches and ran straight towards the enemy tanks and armored vehicles.
The final result was that there were different explosions on the battlefield, and the words became increasingly clear: "Brothers, go home!"
When Li Qiufan saw this scene, his head suddenly buzzed, and then tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
He didn't make any sound. He was like a sculpture, staring blankly at the soldiers of the first regiment, rushing towards the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles one after another.
The enemy troops were also stunned. Maybe their predecessors had experienced this before, but this was the first time they had encountered it since landing.
They couldn't imagine what kind of persistence and belief these volunteer soldiers had in their hearts to be able to die so needlessly.
Everyone in the enemy army asked themselves whether they could do this, but the answer was no.
So at this moment, the soldiers of the First Corps are no longer normal people in their eyes. In their eyes, they are a group of lunatics.
The battle continued, but the atmosphere on the battlefield became different because the enemy soldiers became afraid.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the rapid reinforcements are calling. The three heavy artillery brigades of the armored division are building artillery positions. They are expected to provide artillery support to our army in three minutes!"
On Li Qiufan's side, he was still distracted by the words of the correspondent, and reinforcements finally arrived.
"Inform the First Army, Second Army, and Fourth Army not to let anyone rush out again!"
"Order the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division to fire on me quickly and kill them for me!"
After hearing the correspondent's voice, especially when he heard that the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division were about to provide artillery support, Li Qiufan went a little crazy.
He was stimulated by the soldiers who rushed out of the trenches and used their lives to block the enemy's footsteps.
And they did succeed, slowing down the enemy's charge until reinforcements arrived.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, no more soldiers rushed out from the positions of the three armies.
The enemy soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know why there was such a feeling of relief.
And just when the enemy tanks and armored vehicles took action again, charging towards the first regiment position.
Suddenly there was a rain of shells above their heads, and countless shells directly overwhelmed the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the infantry following behind.
"Correspondent, immediately notify the three heavy artillery brigades of the armored division to extend the artillery fire, and directly bombard these stupid positions for me!"
Without waiting for the enemy to react, Li Qiufan once again asked the correspondent to issue orders to the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division to directly bombard the enemy's positions.
The enemy was still confused at this time and did not understand where the shells came from.
Before they could react, the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division changed their bombardment targets.
After receiving the coordinates sent by Li Qiufan, even if the enemy's position was covered with artillery fire, the enemy's position instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the First Army asked whether to launch a counterattack!"
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Second Army is asking..."
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Fourth Army..."
As the enemy troops were covered by artillery fire, Erhu, Lu Ming and Li Xiping immediately contacted Li Qiufan and asked if they wanted to launch a counterattack.
"Let them all stay still, now is not the time to fight back!"
"Also send a message to the rapid reinforcements and inquire about the locations of the 38th Army and the 42nd Army!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan refused without thinking.
Although the sudden attack of the three heavy artillery brigades caught the enemy by surprise, it did not cause any damage.
After the enemy reacts, it will no longer be possible to produce such an effect.
Moreover, after repelling several enemy charges, the First Corps itself suffered heavy casualties. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is simply unable to fight back.
And behind them, there is the 13th Airborne Division of the Beautiful Country, watching eagerly. As long as they dare to launch a counterattack, the designated position will be gone.
What they have to do now is to hold their position, wait for the 38th Army and the 42nd Army to arrive, and first deal with the beautiful 13th Airborne Division behind them.
As long as there are no worries and the 38th Army and the 42nd Army join, the next battle will be much easier.
