Chapter 6 Dawn of Hope

Heavy breathing, trance vision, the shouts of killing in his ears were close and separated, his hands were wet and sticky, and it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or blood. Because of the color of blood, the bayonet on the gun was no longer shining cold, but it looked particularly ferocious.

In this trench leading to the right wing defense zone, the temporary assault company of the Baston Students Group, which had just experienced a fierce battle, was replaced by friendly troops for a while. The battle situation was so tragic that the 198 officers and soldiers gathered to set off, only 63 were left. Everyone used up all the pineapple bullets, and there were not many bullets left. They could not perform with bayonets alone, and they could not perform all the tactical cooperation. Later, they were completely relying on their will to persist in fighting.

The soldiers of the Federal Army were completely fighting for their lives at this time. Because the Norman army, which chose the right wing of the defense line, broke through the third-line position of the defenders with a tide of casualties, broke through the Federal Army and the Wessex Army from the back. To the north was the Wessex border defense line jointly defended by the Federal Army and the Wessex Army. They were tenaciously resisting the fierce attack of the Norman Empire's 2nd Northern Battle Group. The blade on the back made this defense line as dangerous as it was, and the situation in the north took a sharp turn for the worse!

At this point, the Line of Defense Command had to draw combat power from the central and left-wing defense zones, form several assault battalions and assault companies, and launch wave after wave of counterattacks against the Norman army that attacked and captured the right-wing defense zone.

For hundreds of years, the Norman army has become famous for its good attacks. There have never been an indestructible fortress in front of them. There are countless classic battles to win attacks, and their defensive skills are lackluster. In this war, both in North Fries and Wessex, the Normans showed their traditional skills to the fullest, but if they were determined to be not good at defending, it would be a big mistake. The Norman army, which carried out large-scale space operations in the federal territory, defeated the attack organized by the Federal Army at the first time with its unbreakable field defense, and established the reputation of the Royal Norman Empire's 1st Marine Division in the Battle.

The Normans' K-type bolt-action rifle uses a 3Pir caliber, and its range and power are comparable to that of the Federal Army's Grumman M3.2. Its advantages are high accuracy and fast firing speed. In this offensive and defensive battle surrounding the trench, the range of the gun is undoubtedly the most influencing factor.

Weiss discovered that Norman soldiers were not only able to skillfully utilize the advantages of the K-type rifle, but also used a large number of enhanced semi-automatic pistols - the barrel was three or four times that of ordinary pistols, and used a special long magazine. The fire density and duration of melee combat were quite powerful. In Weiss's opinion, aren't these just small submachine guns in the point-fire mode!

For the gorilla-strong federal soldiers, the power of the semi-automatic pistol is relatively small, and there are many people who can still fight after two or three bullets. However, the Norman soldiers did not fight alone. Their fire-raising attack made it difficult for the Federation soldiers who rushed with bayonets to get close. The assault company led by Weiss threw a wave of thunder and rushed to the Normans, and forced them to regain a trench with bayonets. Of course, the price was quite heavy.

The first Federal Army Academy, who have been selected by one in a hundred miles and trained, fell like summer flowers on this flesh-and-blooded battlefield. What is the significance? This is a very tangled issue for Weiss. From the perspective of economics, the Baston Student Group is the most precious among the defense defenders and should not be consumed endlessly in this cruel positional hand-to-hand combat. The combat commands from the defense command also suggest, but from the perspective of honing will and forging character, this is a rare opportunity for the students of the Baston Military Academy to grow rapidly and even achieve sublimation. As the saying goes, the great waves can survive in such a battle, which can be regarded as the elite among the elites and talents among the talents.

The road to famous generals is destined to be extraordinary!

The fierce battles on the ground battlefield made Weiss almost have no time to pay attention to the air combat process, but in the three-dimensional war mode, whoever can control air supremacy can get a high bonus for ground combat. In fact, the Norman cruisers successively launched "devil bombs", and the federal warships tried their best to avoid it, and the two sides went back and forth without giving in to each other. This battle was absolutely not large, but it was particularly fierce and lasting. At the beginning of the battle, the federal fleet could still separate two patrol ships to support the ground troops. As the battle deepened, the warships on both sides continued to be injured and retreated and damaged. So, they each went all out. Before deciding the victory, no one had time to take care of the companions on the ground...

"Baston Assault Company! Baston Assault Company!"

The cry of the messenger pulled Weiss's thoughts back to reality, and he quickly responded: "We are here!"

The messenger, carrying a bag and covered in mud, staggered to Weiss: "The 139th Division's assault battalion cannot be attacked, the 84th Division's assault battalion has entered the battle. General Lusen ordered you to follow the 84th Division's assault battalion and this time, you must take down the e14 firepower point no matter what."

The e14 fire point mentioned by the messenger was the tactical support point of the Federal Army in the right wing defense zone, and built concrete fortifications to deploy rapid-fire cannons. Previously, the defenders destroyed weapons and equipment that were not too late to transfer when they retreated, but there were too few explosives and they were unable to completely destroy the fortifications. Now it has become the fire point used by the Norman army to consolidate the front line. Weiss narrowed his eyes and frowned and said, "The Normans have transported their rapid-fire cannons!"

The messenger nodded and said, "The situation is really bad. I heard that the 139th Division assault battalion fought to the death, and in the end there were only a few dozen people retreated. Sir, I can only wish you good luck!"

Yes, what else can you say besides wishing good luck?

"Prepare for the fight..." Weiss raised his hand and took a deep breath.

Most of the 63 officers and soldiers remaining in the assault company were lost, and no one was afraid of fighting at this moment. They stood up one after another and responded in a low voice: "Prepare for battle!"

Seeing that all the friendly troops who were put into the attack had already gone up, Weiss waved his hand and led the soldiers to trot forward. They soon passed the position where they had fought with the enemy soldiers and continued to move forward against the Norman's bullets. In their sight, a group of federal soldiers fell under the dense firepower of the Normans, and a group of them rushed into the trench full of corpses with the sound of elite whistles.

When they stepped into the puddle of blood, the scarlet liquid splashed was shocking.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong...

This continuous and crisp gunfire sound comes from rapid-fire cannons set up at the e14 fire point. The two armies were fighting, and various weapons and equipment competed on the battlefield. Both sides fought and attacked each other, and their weapons and equipment were more or less obtained by the other side, so there was no secret. The rapid-fire cannons installed in the Norman army had the same caliber as their standard rifles, and the ammunition was also universal. The structure was very different from the Federal Army's rotary-barrel rapid-barrels: they looked like traditional field guns, except that the muzzle was replaced by a circle of muzzle, and several barrels were wrapped in metal cylinders, and were supplied by a vertical disc-shaped bullet box. They were also driven by hand, but the rate of fire was at least twice as fast as the Federal Army's rotary-barrel rapid-barrels.

The federal soldiers in front were killed and injured, and the Baston assault company was about to reach the front soon. If some pineapple bombs could also use the smoke and dust generated by the explosion to interfere with the enemy's shooting, and then rushed forward without any cover. The remaining troops could not be hit by the Norman rapid-fire cannon firing in ten seconds. This would definitely not work, and we must think of a solution... Weiss gritted his teeth, wishing that his eyes could spit out fire and burn the abominable Normans to death on the position!

Imagination is imagination, but reality is so cruel and ruthless. Compared with the identification data of soldiers on both sides, the Norman soldiers' single combat power not only has no obvious weaknesses, but also has a great advantage in biological functions and mental vitality. They kept firing and shot the helpless Federal soldiers in the trench, just as the Federal soldiers did in the morning defensive operations.

Just as despair came like a tsunami, Weiss heard a strange howling sound from the air. He suddenly looked up and saw a white fuselage and gray-skinned biplane passing by at a low altitude. It had two seats in front and rear. The rear-seat pilot threw a bomb without a tail-wing, probably an explosive directly modified with shells, into the trenches where the Normans were crowded.

There was a loud bang, and it was like the thunder that sounded in Weiss's ears for a long time.

The six biplane with simple appearance and unfast speed were like the six gods sent by the Heavenly Court, rushing over the battlefield and killing all directions. They flew over and over from the Normans over and over, constantly dropping bombs, and blowing Norman soldiers in the trench over and over. Suddenly, they were caught off guard by such a blow. The soldiers hurriedly raised their guns and fired at the air, and several rapid-fire cannons also raised their guns. Such anti-aircraft fire sounded fierce, but in fact they had no effect. Six Federal Army aircraft with simple logos painted with fuselages and wings repeatedly went in and out over the battlefield, and calmly dropped more than twenty bombs, killing and injuring many Normans. The psychological deterrence and tactical influence of this attack far exceeded the actual killing of the bombs.

Taking advantage of the deflection of the Normans' attention, the soldiers of the Federal Army rushed into the trench guarded by the Norman soldiers. Although in close combat, the federal soldiers of the various security divisions and reserve divisions were not as strong as those in team-based cooperation, with their explosive morale and decisive counterattacks on the whole line, the Federal Army swept the battlefield with a hurricane. The victory and defeat had a great impact. The Norman soldiers showed unusual tenacity and fought the Federal Army's counterattack with an attitude of fighting for an inch of land. Some troops even died in the position. In this desperate battle between the brave and the brave, the Federal Army that fought at home finally had the upper hand. They divided the Norman troops that attacked the Federal Army's defense zone and annihilated them one by one...

As dusk approached, the ground battle finally came to an end. At this time, the assault company led by Weiss had less than 20 soldiers. Although the federal army paid far more casualties than the opponent this afternoon, the reversal of the battle allowed him to see the positive side of this bad war: under the urgency, the federal military no longer held the giant ships and cannons and began to accept new things like aircraft and put them on the battlefield.
