Chapter 1112 Jishan Town Meat Grinder (2)(1/2)

Xu Fei, the commander-in-chief of Switzerland, clenched his fists nervously, hoping that the train cannon would achieve the expected results.

Driven by the powerful power of the internal combustion engine, the five train guns ran quickly on the railway track.

The Shu army's fortress artillery was disrupted by the smoke caused by airship bombs.

The other forts of the Shu Army were not disturbed.

They immediately informed Commander Yan Baizhi of the Swiss army's actions.

Commander Yan Baizhi put down the phone and snorted softly: "What the Swiss army did was not beyond my expectations at all. Could it be that when the Swiss army changed its general, they really replaced it with a loser?"

He immediately issued an order for the fortress artillery to fire according to the firing parameters reported by the artillery staff of other forts.

The reaction will be slower this way, but as long as it hits the target, it can still destroy the target.

The Shu army's fortress artillery responded very quickly.

But it is still very difficult for artillery shells to hit a moving train.

The Shu army's three consecutive artillery shots all missed their targets and they immediately changed their tactics.

They no longer target the moving train, but the tracks in front of the train.

The train moves faster, but the rails are fixed targets.

The Swedish military train braved the fierce enemy attack and quickly approached the designated gun position.

This is on the periphery of the Shu army's defense line, and can only be covered by fortress artillery.

While a train was moving forward, the track in front of it was blown apart.

It could no longer stop the car and immediately rushed off the track.

The train carried two railway guns and a large number of artillery shells, with a load of hundreds of tons.

After it derailed, a large furrow was plowed into the ground.

The other trains still showed no fear. When they arrived at the designated location, they immediately chose to fire.

The most powerful heavy artillery of the Swiss and Shu armies began to fire at each other.

As a result of this exchange of fire, the Shu army had the upper hand.

The fortress artillery of the Shu Army was protected by a reinforced concrete fort several meters thick.

The Swedish army's trains are also protected by thickened steel plates.

But overall, train guns are more vulnerable.

When Xu Fei, the commander-in-chief of Rui Kingdom, saw this situation, he did not feel depressed at all.

He had anticipated this situation before the war started.

The train gun is at a disadvantage, but the overall defense of the train gun is based on the battleship's turret.

Even if the defensive performance is not as good as that of the fort, the price is still several times that of the fort.

The train cannon can still complete its mission and play a role in containing the Shu army's fortress cannon.

Xu Fei, the commander-in-chief of Rui State, took a picture of the map and issued an order: "The enemy's fortress artillery has been contained, and the entire army has launched an attack."

The Swedish army received the order to attack as a whole, and they began to attack the target enemy according to the battle plan they made before the war started.

The Swedish army used trench digging to approach the Shu army's position.

By placing large-caliber mortars in the trenches, the defensive firepower of the Shu army was suppressed.

The infantry climbed out of the trench, crawled forward with weapons, and attacked the Shu army's fortifications.

The sound of gunfire continued on the battlefield, and the screams and cries of soldiers also sounded from time to time.

Xu Fei, the commander-in-chief of the Swedish army, stood at the headquarters and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield.

The phone in the house kept ringing.

"Reinforcements. The reinforcements are blocked by Shu army's firepower. We are trying to find a way to break through. Please hold on for a while."

"What? The Fifth Division collapsed."

When Xu Fei heard the news about the collapse of the Fifth Army, he immediately grabbed the phone and asked: "Before the war started, did I tell you that once the casualties reached 20%, you must withdraw the troops.

This battle is all about who can persevere. I don’t even have to tell you about the impact of the collapse.

Control the situation and wait for reinforcements."

Commander Xu Fei picked up a cigarette. His hand holding the match was trembling, and he lit the cigarette several times.

He took a puff of cigarette and looked at the battlefield filled with smoke.

The Swedish army organized its forces and braved the artillery fire of the Shu army to launch attacks in waves.

If the Swedish army suffers too many casualties, it will be rotated and this tactic repeated.

The Swiss army braved the firepower of the Shu army to attack and suffered heavy casualties.

Xu Fei had to do this, not only because of the urging of King Sulei of Rui, but also because of the current situation between the two countries, the Rui army had to take over Jishan Town as soon as possible.

Jishan Town is now at its weakest.

Overall, the Swedish army maintained its superiority in firepower and numbers.

Once these two advantages were lost, the Shu army occupied favorable terrain again.

If the Swedish army wanted to break through the defense line at that time, it would have to pay a greater price.



Military observation groups from various countries watched the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and they were shocked in their hearts.

This is the first time many of them have seen the cruelty of fighting between two industrial countries.

General Hou Dayou of Cao State sighed: "Industrial progress, in the field of military industry, means the development of weapons that can harvest human lives more efficiently.

Artillery is the undisputed king, playing a decisive role on the battlefield.

But the most efficient weapons for harvesting appointments are machine guns and cannons.

The Swiss army was about to capture a hilltop, and the Shu army's machine guns, which had been silent for a long time, began to shoot at the attacking crowd.

The Swedish army still has some experience in dealing with machine guns, but their response to machine guns that fire extremely fast and explode has slowed down a lot.

On a rapidly changing battlefield, slow response can have fatal consequences.

The collapse of the Swedish army will have a very bad impact.

If the Swedish army fails to adjust well, I am not optimistic about the Swedish army's attack this time."

General Qi Long of the State of Wu agreed: "The Swiss army attacked too hastily this time.

Whether it's an airship dropping bombs or a train rushing into battle, it doesn't feel amazing.

The Swedish army is in a superior position both in terms of numbers and firepower.

However, he could not rely on his superior firepower to suppress the Shu army's firepower.

The Shu army relied on its complete fortifications to form a local firepower advantage and continued to bleed the Swiss army.

In just half a day, the Swiss army had already suffered more than 20,000 casualties.

Jishan Town has now become a veritable meat grinder.

How many 20,000 Swiss soldiers are there to fill this big hole?

The exchange ratio between the Rui army and the Shu army was at least five to one.

How long can the Swedish army persist in this disparity of exchange and war?"

General Su Zihai of Gui State still used to sarcastically say: "Some countries also imitate Shu and act like an iron tortoise.

This iron turtle tactic is a sure-losing tactic.

The advantage that the Shu army showed in this war was the concentrated use of firepower.

The collapse of the Swedish army just now was manifested by the powerful firepower of the Shu army, which caused more than half of the casualties in a short period of time, and the entire army collapsed directly.

The overall firepower of the Swedish army is superior, which is due to the strong logistics of the Swedish army.

However, the Swedish army failed to convert this advantage into real combat power.

The Swedish army's firepower was too scattered and failed to suppress the Shu army's firepower on local battlefields.

The Rui army failed to exert its own advantages, but the Shu army had already exerted its advantages.

But what the Shu army can do is to continue to consume the Swiss army through this meat grinder.

They really want to use Jishan Town to achieve strategic advantage, but it is simply impossible.

The Shu army's national strength was poor and it was always on the defensive.

Even if we achieve temporary results, it will not affect the final outcome."

The generals in the military observation group have become accustomed to the increase of two people.

After all, the situation between Wu and Gui is very tense, and a war may break out between the two countries at any time.
