Chapter 214 The power of heavy artillery

"Soldiers on the ground! Don't complain like a sissy!" Lieutenant Colonel yelled at the communicator.

"Enemy cavalry appeared on the flanks, asking for support." Another request for help. This time, it was not aimless. You can see that black cavalry surged out from the woods on the right side of the position, with a number of at least five thousand.

There is a small river on the right side of the position as a barrier, but the river is not deep, and the cavalry can completely force the crossing. The lieutenant colonel arranged two platoons to defend based on the river embankment.

"Stop them and don't let them cross the river!"

Xia Yu said: "Do I need to take the special forces to increase the number of troops?"

The lieutenant colonel hesitated for a moment, "No, it should be no problem."

The facts proved that the lieutenant colonel was right. The cavalry scattered across the river, and the people who were shot by several machine guns ambushed on the river bank were overturned, and the river water was stained with blood.

But the number of enemies was too large, so they rushed up from the river banks on both sides. Four all-terrain vehicles rushed over immediately, putting down more than a dozen infantrymen, blocking the gap. The cannons on the vehicles smashed the cavalry that had just arrived ashore, and the broken flesh and blood covered the river bank.

The remaining cavalry saw that it was not good, so they frightened them all, but they were unwilling to retreat. They wandered among the woods across the river. Some scattered cavalry came ashore further away, but the number was too small, so they didn't dare to rush over. They shuttled through the woods in groups, and the chariot team had to drive back and forth to hunt.

Boom boom boom! The explosion suddenly sounded behind the position. Xia Yu raised his telescope and looked back. There was another cavalry, with a number of about 3,000. I don’t know when he went around the rear of the position. There was only one platoon there, but a large number of directional anti-infantry mines were buried. Unexpectedly, it played an unexpected role.

This time, the lieutenant colonel finally showed a solemn expression, "Mr. Consultant, take the special operations team to reinforce!"

"Leave it to me." Xia Yu said, picking up his gun and going downstairs. However, when he led the two teams to the rear position, he only saw corpses all over the ground. The cavalry had long since ran away. It turned out that they had broken into the mine formation and received a heavy blow. Then they were stopped by the barbed wire. The machine gun swept and collapsed directly.

Xia Yu only caught a few heads and took the people back to the fort.

When the battle went to the 37th minute, the Expeditionary Force finally had the first death.

A catapult cart casts gravel all over the sky, and an unlucky guy was hit on his head in a very unlucky way. The violent impact made him fall to the ground, scaring the pit friend beside him to shout.

"Henry fell down, Henry fell down! Medical soldier!"

It was only when I discovered that the unlucky guy was later discovered to be just a concussion, and his helmet blocked most of the impact of the gravel.

But not everyone is so lucky. More and more stones are fired, and several more people are injured one after another.

The loss was not big, but it was a very dangerous signal. Some archers even crawled to more than 100 meters away and began to shoot.

Although this shooting method is not very good, it still poses some threats to the soldiers on the front line. Instead of hiding in the fox pit, a soldier half-kneeled on the flat ground and opened fire. He was shot on his thigh with an arrow, and blood flowed.

Another soldier was wiped from his neck and screamed and left the battle.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we have suffered heavy casualties and cannot withstand it. The number of enemies is too large, and we need support!"

"Then withdraw, give up the front line of positions, and lead to the second line of defense!"

The two platoons of infantry on the front line were as if they were amnesty and quickly ran out of their respective bunkers, ran to the second line of defense, and continued to fight based on the sandbag wall.

The second line of defense originally had a company of troops, but it was further strengthened at this time and had a "strong" force of nearly 200 people.

The light-pull bullets fired by more than twenty light and heavy machine guns were like raindrops, and the density of firepower was further increased. The Imperial Army suffered tragic casualties every step forward.

Manuk's eyes were shattered. This was the army he used to sweep the world.

"Your Majesty, the Third Legion is destroyed!"

There were 5,000 troops in a corps, and a total of three legions were invested. Considering that there were only thousands of remaining troops on the front line, it was said that in less than an hour after the war started, more than 10,000 people were lost, which was not counted as the casualties of the two cavalry.

But Manuk knew that he could only continue to invest at this time. Otherwise, all those who were smashed in front would be wasted. "Then let the Fourth Corps head up, the Fifth Corps prepare, beat drums and whistle, blow the trumpet, and let the cavalry attack too! The baggage troops pushed all the remaining catapults up!"

After a series of orders were issued, the imperial army immediately started to operate.

"Lieutenant Colonel, cavalry are found behind our position!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has increased the attack head-on."

"Lieutenant Colonel, the left wing was hit by the enemy cavalry for the second time, so I requested support."

All kinds of news came one after another. Xia Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the bloody battle scenes from all directions. He felt so nervous. Can this battle be won? After looking around, Ergouzi had already shot black guns, and Feihu also ran to the front line to participate in the war. Unfortunately, he couldn't play any role. Why don't he buy a main battle tank with military expenses to win the head of the enemy general from a hundred thousand troops?

But I can't drive it myself.

At this moment, the air squad sounded from the communicator, "Lieutenant Colonel, we have discovered the position of the enemy's command center, coordinates 72.34!"

"Good job!" Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez shouted excitedly, "Firepower Team, prepare to work. The time for counterattack has come. Coordinates are 72, 34, give me a cover shot!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The huge roar instantly obscured the noisy sound on the battlefield. Four heavy mortar shells fell to the rear of the enemy. The Fifth Corps there was preparing to enter the battle. Because they thought they were in a safe rear, they were almost devastating before they could unfold their formation.

Although the 120mm self-propelled mortar is also a mortar, its power is already a heavy firepower. The shell's killing diameter is 40 meters x 40 meters, which is close to the size of two basketball courts. One shot will cause hundreds of casualties.

A legion was instantly destroyed, and what's even more terrible is that Manuk is located nearby and his command system is all there, and the command system, including the trumpeter and drummer, became victims of artillery bombardment.

Manuk was completely shocked, but he was not killed because the so-called command center was actually used by drummers and trumpeters to command the army, and it was still a little far from him.

But this round of artillery bombardment hit him with a huge blow. He had always thought he was in a "safe area" outside the range, but now he realized that he was thinking too much.

Moreover, the enemy's weapons are too powerful. This round of volleys not only caused huge casualties, but also caused the soldiers who fought hard in front to look behind them.

"The firepower team launches a round of artillery bombardment on the front line positions, and then extends the shooting backwards to block the enemy's increase in troops!"

"receive!"

Boom boom boom boom boom! Another volley, and then the self-propelled mortar began to bombard the infantry phalanxes that had not yet been put into combat.

Whenever the gun goes down, there are a lot of soldiers falling down, especially those phalanx infantry that have not yet entered the battle and have a neat and dense formation. One phalanx will basically collapse after one shot.

The artillery bombardment in less than three minutes completely stunned the Imperial Army. In addition, it lost its command ability, and the tens of thousands of troops in front of the position were completely in chaos.

"The mobile troops gathered immediately, and the infantry on the second line of defense were ready to counterattack and followed the chariots to advance!"

All ten tanks abandoned the mission they were performing and quickly drove towards the second line of defense. The machine guns and cannons on the car opened fire at the same time. This time, even the corpse walls could not be blocked. The power of the 20mm machine cannon could easily break the walls. Even if they hid behind a big tree, they would be shot twice in one shot.

The chariot not only brought about the strengthening of firepower, but also brought about a powerful deterrence. The Imperial Army, which was originally trapped in chaos, completely lost its will to fight and began to flee with tears and shouted.

"Prepare for counterattack!"

Two hundred infantrymen lined up in a long line of scattered soldiers, fired while advancing, accompanied by ten chariots, chasing the enemy's butts.

Thousands of remaining troops on the front line fled wildly, and the army behind who were originally going to be involved in the battle were also destroyed and at a loss.

Xia Yu was so excited that he won. It seems that he would win this battle!
