Macho Wars

These Wieland soldiers thought that they were staying at the back of the line of defense, which was definitely the safest place. They would never have dreamed that they would be ridden by the tanks of the Imperial Army in this direction facing their hometown.

The armored battalions that assaulted in dense formations ran directly from their positions, and without a single shot, they destroyed these enemies with their momentum alone.And the first company in the lead finally saw the artillery position hiding in a depression after crossing a slope.

"At two o'clock in front, the enemy artillery position, all the tanks in a company fired and released at my command!"

Following the order from Dragon, ten tanks in a row sent a wave of anti-personnel fragmentation grenades toward the place where the fire was flashing in the fog, and the second company that followed immediately followed up with a salvo. .Then they saw a flash of white light in the fog... it was sparks from the explosion of a large number of shells.

With great luck, Dragun took his battalion and ran into a heavy artillery battalion of the Kingdom Army.

Although both sides are battalion-level units, there are also 24 powerful large-caliber howitzers on the opposite side.But the persevering armored battalion directly touched within two hundred meters, and it was a surprise attack launched from the rear.The Wieland artillerymen with cotton balls in their ears didn't even know what was happening until they died, so they were exploded and sent to the sky.

And until then, the Kingdom Army in the fortress area woke up like a dream, and his butt was entered by the enemy!

With three heavily loaded assault battalions as the tip of a knife, thousands of elite soldiers of the attack brigade were like tigers into the flock, and quickly shredded the three lines of the fortress defenders.The artillery positions were the first to suffer. In the fog, they made the most movement. Tanks followed the sound of artillery and destroyed these positions one by one.

But the artillery side was misfired, and the pressure on the front line of the Kingdom Army suddenly increased, and the line of defense began to falter under the onslaught of the Imperial Army.

One by one, the bad news was delivered to Muratu one after another, both front and back were in urgency, but the reserve team in the second line was running out.

The forces in the fortress area were not originally tense to this level. It was Mulatul’s force against the crowd and forcibly transferred the only armored division, and deployed them along with the two divisions from the east bank 30 kilometers northwest of the defense line. Outside, wait for an opportunity to go around and cut off the enemy's back path.

Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating and was taken the lead by the Imperial Army. These three divisions suddenly became "far waters" and could not save the "near fire".

In the headquarters of the fortress, a group of generals looked at each other, while Mulatou was pale, and the situation had far exceeded his expectations. The previous calmness and tranquility disappeared for a moment, and his brain was blank.

At this time, the commander stood up, and he glanced at the Liushen Wuzhu Mulatou, his eyes were disappointed at first, and then he changed to resolute, and took over the command without any explanation.

The commander first ordered the fortress guard regiment to protect Murat and the transfer of the headquarters to join the three divisions to the northwest.They had already lost a prince half a year ago, and they absolutely couldn't lose a second one.

The commander himself led some of the officers who had stayed voluntarily to personally command the queen.

He knew very well that the fortress could no longer be held.The enemy troops that can be touched from behind may not be many, but they are definitely elite.Several major artillery positions in the southern section lost more than two-thirds in just 20 minutes.

The frontline troops that had lost their fire support were immediately suppressed by the Imperial Artillery, and they were about to be broken through.Although their fortresses are strong, they are not indestructible.

In this case, continuing to defend the fortress area will only become more passive. Once the main force of the Imperial Army breaks through the line of defense, it can quickly form a division and encirclement of the fortress, and pack more than 50,000 people here into dumplings.

And rashly retreat across the board, it is likely to evolve into a rout across the board.Behind them is an open and flat ravine plain. Infantry soldiers can't run tanks with only two legs.

Therefore, the only thing the commander can do right now is to "break his arms" cruelly, at the cost of abandoning most of the troops, in exchange for time and space, and give a few elite troops a chance to escape.

At this time, in the rear position of the Kingdom Army, Dragon was running rampant with his battalion.They destroyed two artillery positions, a material warehouse, and eliminated thousands of enemy soldiers and eleven tanks.I only lost one car. It was because the driver didn't see the road clearly and accidentally drove the car into the trenches.

However, just when they frantically brushed their heads and were so happy, a cannonball flew from the oblique side and hit a tank on the right side of Dragun.

This armor-piercing projectile happened to hit the weak part of the tank seat, and immediately hit the soul, and the tank stopped moving.

Seeing that the nearby vehicle was destroyed, Dragon hurriedly poked most of his head out of the turret and raised his binoculars to look for the target.Judging by the sound, it should have been a 75mm anti-armor gun that had just opened fire, and it was also the strongest anti-armor weapon of the Royal Army.

This gun has a long barrel up to fifty times the diameter and an enlarged medicine chamber, so it can penetrate all types of tanks of the Imperial Army from any angle.

Regardless of his own safety, Dragon looked nervously at the noisy and chaotic battlefield around him, trying to find the location of this anti-tank gun.At this time, the second gun sounded, and another tank was destroyed by the opponent. The smashed ammunition lifted the several-ton turret to a height of four or five meters. The scattered wreckage and charred corpses attacked other vehicle members nearby. Caused a great shock!

Chapter 164

"Damn it! Where is that cannon?"

In Dragon's tank, the driver Huck also saw two of his own tanks that were destroyed one after another. The frightened old guy's jaw loosened, and the cigarette butt in his mouth suddenly fell on his crotch.

At this time, the third artillery shot came, and the shell hit the storage basket at the rear of the turret of the Dragoon tank.

Dragoon, who was frightened with a cold sweat on his forehead, ignored the bead of sweat, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the gunfire came from.Finally, in the hazy mist, a group of sneaky figures was found.

This group of guys wisely chose a gap on the soil slope as the gun position. Under the cover of heavy fog, it is indeed difficult to be found from a distance.

As soon as Dragon found the position of the war defense gun, he immediately used a machine gun to fire continuously at the opposite side.While suppressing the opposing artillery, it also used a tracer to draw a bright red light in the air to show the position of the enemy.

Without Dragoon's order, Tafee took the lead in aiming at that location, and raising his hand was a shot.Several other tanks also fired one after another, directly returning the cannon to its part state.

After eliminating the battle defense artillery, Dragon ordered all tanks to pause and wait for the infantry behind to come up.They fought too hard here, they had already penetrated the third-line position of the Kingdom Army, and rushed into the second line. There were traffic trenches that crisscrossed like spider webs everywhere.

Tanks are easy to get stuck in such places, not to mention, enemy infantry can also sneak in through trenches and take advantage of the opportunity to stick explosive packs to the weak bottom.

The battle was now approaching nine o'clock in the morning, and the rising sun quickly dissipated most of the thick fog, gradually revealing the full picture of the battlefield.

The officers and soldiers of the armored battalion were stunned to find that their troops seemed to be in the middle of the battlefield, fighting from all directions.

Especially to the west, where the main force of the Imperial Army was located, and the shouts of killing were almost deafening.The frontline soldiers on both sides were completely entangled together, and the extended firing of the Imperial Army’s artillery was about to hit Dragoon where they were.

As a last resort, Dragon, who did not want to be covered by friendly fire, could only order the troops to withdraw for a period of time.

Although the offensive cannot continue, the tactical goal of the strike brigade has basically been achieved at this time.They succeeded in taking off the artillery positions of the Kingdom Army, making the defenders in the fortress in chaos and unable to deal with the frontal enemy with all their strength.

As long as there is no accident, it is only a matter of time before the gate fortress, known as "unbreakable", is broken.

But Dragon keenly noticed that the defenders in the fortress area were obviously much less than previously expected.When his armored battalion rushed to the second line, there was not much force left here, only sporadic resistance.

It is preliminarily inferred that there are at least more than 30,000 and more than two divisions of the Kingdom Army missing.If such a new force emerges from an unexpected place, it is completely capable of reversing the situation in an instant.

However, Dragun didn't know that Mulatou, who was full of brains, had deployed these troops 30 kilometers away from the fortress.Just wait for the imperial army to show fatigue for a long time, so as to give them a "critical blow."

As a result, Muratu's series of wise operations came down, and he was stupefied by himself.

At this moment, he was evacuating the fortress in a safe armored vehicle under the protection of the guards.All the ambitions he had at the time turned into unwillingness and humiliation.

Before leaving the fortress, he kept his head down, a strong sense of shame that made him afraid to raise his face to face those who voluntarily stayed behind to follow the commander's decision.

"Things shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this..."

Since getting into the car until now, Mulatul has been thinking about it like this.Seeing this, another old general sitting next to him, while calming his emotions with a good word, secretly sighed in his heart.

After all, this majesty was too young and energetic. He acted arbitrarily because of his talents, and he panicked when an accident happened.If this battle were replaced by the command of the three princes who were calm, experienced and surprised by strategy, the situation would definitely not be as bad as it is now.

of course!These spit in the heart, the shrewd and sleek old general will certainly not speak out directly.

The fleeing guard regiment quickly merged with the troops that came to meet them. The three divisions deployed in the northwest mountainous area were still fully organized because they were far from the war zone, and they had a very complete combat effectiveness.

Seeing this new force, Mulatul immediately cheered himself up. He thought that he would take these three divisions and kill them immediately. Maybe there was hope to turn the tide of the battle, but the generals and staff who came with him were unanimously opposed.

Because they have a reserve team, as well as the imperial army with superior strength.If you take these troops and kill them again, you will be in a melee in all likelihood, and their respective wins and losses will not be 50-50. Maybe the imperial army will have a bigger win.

After all, the colonial military area of ​​the empire had undergone a wave of strengthening before the war, and there were several elite divisions directly transferred from the mainland to become "foreign aid". Therefore, not only were there more people, but there were also several times more tanks and artillery than them.

So long before the evacuation, the commander who stayed behind had already communicated privately with these old men, directly "overhead" Durham, and brought these three divisions back to Kanswia, standing by for help.

Ironically, just half a year ago, they also forced the imperial army to a very similar situation.Now that Feng Shui takes turns, it is finally his turn to start to press hard.

Muratou, who had completely lost his prestige, fainted on the spot when he saw that he had completely commanded the army that Charles had tempered.
