Dense mortar shells flew down like raindrops, broken shrapnel flew everywhere, knocking many soldiers into sieves, frightened horses ran around, and the cavalry who could not hold the horse were knocked off the horse.
Immediately afterwards, the light machine gun fired a crisp sound, and the cavalry who had just been driven off the horse were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could stand up.
Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Ter understands that with the remaining cavalry, he can't rush over at all, so he has to take the remaining cavalry and start to retreat slowly. After experiencing the baptism of bullets in the canyon again, the remaining ones
More than three thousand cavalrymen finally retreated.
Looking at the decadent defeated generals, Lieutenant General Tere, whose faces were dark, almost cried. Unexpectedly, the opportunity to make a contribution was easy to almost tell him where he was. Now the cavalry division has completely lost its combat capability and is not at all.
Maybe he would attack Damot again. In desperation, Lieutenant General Terr could only bring the remaining defeated generals and bit the bullet and go back to see General Pershing.
Seeing the retreating cavalry division, General Pershing was so angry that he wanted to slap Lieutenant General Terr a few times. This bastard didn't know how to search for advance while sending people to marches. He was such an idiot.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lieutenant General Terl. The Boston Imperial Army has not experienced war for hundreds of years. All military common sense comes from the study of military academy. Most of this knowledge is talk about war on paper and lacks practical skills in detail. Therefore, his failure is also
It's no surprise.
Admiral Pershing, who was still angry, locked up Lieutenant General Terl in confinement and planned to hand it over to the military court after returning to China. Of course, this is just a gesture. With the influence of Lieutenant General Terl's family in the country, he will be surrendered at most.
Even if he wins a battle, he can benefit from his merits and sin.
Although General Pershing knew that there would be such an ending, he must make a gesture at the moment to avoid the morale of the army being shaken. After understanding the possible situation of the opponent's troops, General Pershing personally led the forces of six infantry divisions of the main force,
Expand the battle formation and search and head towards the direction of the Logistics Base of the St. Martin Empire.
Qiu Yu'an clearly saw the situation of the Boston army led by Persing in his telescope. His mouth curled slightly and said, "Let's start to act." A senior officer behind him lit up slightly when he heard Qiu Yu'an's words.
Nodded, and soon he led a brigade of Lan Fang's mercenaries to disappear quickly into the dense jungle.
"Transport all the cannons" Pershing, who arrived near the entrance of Trash Canyon, shouted, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Lieutenant General Terl.
Faced with possible ambush, Pershing decided to conduct fire reconnaissance. Fortunately, Pershing brought more than 30 105mm howitzers and a batch of 76mm mountain cannons this time, which was enough to deal with such a situation.
The cliff is very high, and the range of the mountain cannon cannot reach so many places, so only the howitzer starts fire covering the fire.
There was no clear target, and more than 30 howitzers were shooting aimlessly on the cliff. The huge explosion filled the entire canyon for a long time. After twenty minutes of shooting, Pershing did not notice any movement on the mountain.
, He immediately sent four battalions of searching forces to search the mountain.
After repeated searches, Pershing finally confirmed that there was no ambush on the mountain. He did not feel that he wasting shells. He was so careful that he was not a big mistake. Now he had the advantage and had to be more careful to prevent the other party from turning the tables. Pershing sent two more regiments.
The troops firmly controlled the top of the mountain, and then the large army drove into Trash Canyon.
Although the road in the canyon was not spacious, the ground was still flat, and it was not difficult to advance the artillery, and the troops were still moving forward easily. Suddenly, a burst of gunfire came from the front. It was the vanguard who encountered an obstruction, and Pershing immediately ordered
The infantry unfolded and the artillery fought back, but when Pershing wanted to attack, he realized that the situation was not right.
At this moment, the Boston Empire's troops were still in the canyon, and the Trash Canyon was narrow in the west and wide in the east. Not only was the troops unable to deploy in the narrow west, but there was no extra place to arrange artillery positions. If you were to a wide enough place to arrange artillery positions.
With those light mountain cannons having a range of only a few thousand meters but not reaching the opponent's blocking position, this form made Persh feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a flies. He finally knew that he had encountered a strong opponent this time.
General Pershing, who could not unfold the artillery, immediately made a decision and ordered the artillery not to care about the large caliber howitzers and to move the mountain cannons to a flat area on the top of the cliffs, while the infantry platoons were platoons without artillery fire cover.
Carry out small-scale charges to consume the opponent's bullets and attract the opponent's attention.
Faced with the small charge of Boston soldiers, Qiu Yu'an didn't care. Although Lan Fang's mercenary bullets could not be replenished, the troops of the St. Martin Empire were currently fighting against the Bostonian attacks on the front line.
These troops used single shots of paper-shelled bullets. You should know that not far behind is the logistics base of the St. Martin Empire. There is no possibility of any supply of bullets, so he did not do anything.
To restrict these St. Martins use the Boston army opposite to practice marksmanship.
The soldiers of the St. Martin Empire who had never fought such an easy battle excitedly fired their guns and knocked down Boston soldiers, consuming a lot of the Bostonians' vitality.
Qiu Yu'an, who was observing the situation on the second line of defense, put down his telescope and shook his head easily, "It's really boring to fight this kind of rookie-level battle. It seems that the army of these two countries does not have any practical experience. You can use a little strategy to do it.
They get it in."
After two hours of charge, the number of soldiers of the St. Martin Empire defending was much smaller, and the high-intensity combat made them look tired. At this moment, they were pulled and pulled by the Boston artillery company.
The mountain cannons on the top of the mountain were finally placed, and the shells began to explode on the positions of the St. Martin Empire, causing the St. Martin soldiers who lack combat experience to panic.
Qiu Yu'an smiled and said, "It seems that the other party's commander is not too idiotic." Then he turned to the messenger behind him and said, "Let them retreat. If our allies suffer too much casualties, I will not be able to go to Ka.
Admiral Oran explained.”
The soldiers of the St. Martin Empire who received the order retreated like a tide and retreated to the third line of defense behind the Lanfang mercenary defense line. Seeing the other party retreating, the excited Boston soldiers rushed into the first trench cheering.
Boston soldiers rushed into the trench excitedly, but did not want to step onto the thunder buried by the mercenary engineers of the St. Martin Empire when they retreated, and the explosions came one after another. The Boston soldiers were blown up and down their arms and legs.
The sky was flying all over the sky, and the soldiers behind were so scared that they lay on the ground and never dared to enter the trenches again. Qiu Yu'an laughed and said, "I'll give you an appetizer first, and there will be a big gift later."
"Attack on the whole line." Seeing that his soldiers suffered a great loss, General Persh immediately ordered the entire line to press forward, trying to directly destroy the opponent's second line of defense with the advantage of numbers.
But the second line of defense is not the soldiers of the St. Martin Empire who had been out of combat formation and had lagging behind weapons. The elite troops stationed here that had fought Japanese soldiers in Hanping Kingdom and killed the Cossacks in the Far East Plain. This army was stationed here.
Many officers even participated in the battle against the Monte Empire defending the city. How could such an iron-blooded army be able to resist the rookie recruits of Bostonians?
Lan Fang's mercenary soldiers were not in any panic. Seeing the approaching Boston soldiers, they smiled and loaded the magazine into the slot, checked their weapons for the last time, put the grenade and the backup magazine with the loaded bullets.
In the most convenient position, some people extinguished their cigarettes or were in a military cap, and the entire position was filled with a relaxed and freehand atmosphere, without any tension in the battle.
"Fire." With the orders of commanders at all levels, neat and effective shooting began on the second line of defense. Unlike the random guns that were used by the soldiers of the St. Martin Empire and the soldiers of the Boston Empire when fighting, Lan Fang's mercenary soldiers shot.
It has a very rhythmic feeling. Although the speed is not fast, it can maintain a high hit rate.
Lan Fang hired not many mercenaries, and the Boston Empire's army was getting closer and closer. In order to make up for the insufficient firepower of the rifle, light machine guns configured in squads began to fire suppressively in various machine gun bunkers.
As the most famous general of the Boston Empire, General Pershing was not a fictional reputation. As soon as the fire opened on the opposite position, he heard something was wrong. The neat shooting sound and the soldiers who were knocked down on him were revealed.
I've encountered a tough guy.
General Pershing looked at the battle situation in disbelief. He racked his brains and couldn't think of which unit in the St. Martin Empire had such strong combat power, and their firepower configuration and tactical qualities were not any St. Martin team.
The imperial army, even the armies of the powerful countries in the Western Continent, can have it.
Qiu Yu'an's defense line was well arranged. The range of the Boston Empire mountain artillery group arranged on the mountain could not reach the trenches of Lan Fang's mercenary, which made Pershing feel very uncomfortable. Admiral Pershing immediately ordered the howitzers to be pulled over for artillery attacks.
.
At this moment, continuous explosions sounded more than ten kilometers behind the Boston army. The loud noise made the Boston soldiers who were attacking were stunned. Admiral Pershing immediately changed his face: "No, we
supply supplies.”
Admiral Pershing immediately thought of the large amount of supplies still placed on the beach. Without these supplies, not to mention that the army's ammunition cannot be supplied, even eating will be a problem.
Although General Pershing was extremely anxious, he soon calmed down. Such a huge explosion could only be caused by the explosion of ammunition in his supplies. Since this is the case, it would be useless to return it yourself.
