A heavy bomb fell on the uneven streets, and Yongdong Port finally ushered in its baptism of fire. The Tang army's attack was fierce from the beginning, and its tactics were completely different from the past.
The Tang army with armor cover was not eager to compete for the outer defensive positions of Yongdong City. Instead, after breaking through these defensive positions, they immediately wanted to penetrate deeply and penetrate into the edge of the city.
This tactic was like nails embedded in the defense circle of the 4th Dwarf Army, gradually turning these positions into an octopus-like shape.
As a result, the length of the defense line has been significantly increased, and the fighting of troops in such numerous protrusions has further tested the organizational discipline of grassroots officers and soldiers.
Obviously, the Tang Army is the more advantageous party in this regard. They are obviously better than the 4th Dwarf Army in terms of organizational discipline and supply dispatch.
Although the dwarves had a defensive advantage, after they were cut into slender protrusions, they obviously began to become confused and their fighting will was weakened.
If you want to supply these protrusions, you must bypass the small Tang Army troops in the ruins and ensure their numbers. This is definitely not an easy task.
A dwarf soldier from the supply detachment, carrying an ammunition box on his back, looked up from the dust in the sky. He had just avoided the bomb and hid behind a collapsed wall.
Because it was still far away, there was not much impact here, but his ears were still buzzing from the explosion and he couldn't hear anything clearly.
He groped around him, picked up another ammunition box that had just been discarded at his feet because he was lying down, and readjusted the position of his armed belt with his other hand.
In order to carry more ammunition, he only brought a pistol. In such a battlefield environment, he had almost no combat capabilities.
However, he carried a full 1,400 rounds of ammunition, which could at least support the troops in front for a while.
After taking two breaths in the choking dust, he took heavy steps, bypassed the still smoking crater, and entered the rubble-filled alley next to it.
In the sky, two Thunder attack aircraft flew past in the distance, and the roaring noise made the dwarf troops on the ground extremely depressed. They did not even dare to raise their heads, because every time they raised their heads, they felt that they were being attacked by that terrifying aircraft.
Eyed.
Those damn Tang people are simply perverts. How did they come up with the idea of installing a damn cannon on the plane? After that thing finds the target, it will dive down, and then use the cannon on the nose to blast the target's position into pieces.
Both sides were fighting in a very chaotic state, but the Tang Army's team advanced and retreated in a well-organized manner, just like hunters wandering among the ruins of reinforced concrete buildings, hunting in this concrete forest. And their prey were the dwarf soldiers.
.
The Tang people's firepower was fierce and precise, and their tactics were so cunning that the dwarves could not adapt at all. They clumsily hoped to hold their position, but were wiped out in large numbers by the almost invisible enemies.
As long as the sound of sniper rifles sounded, 80% of the time a dwarf soldier would be shot and die. But the dwarves could not even see the shadow of the Tang army, let alone organize a counterattack.
What's even more frightening is that it would have been fine if the Tang army had only harassed them with snipers. Those snipers would have probably not fired at all, but just hid in the dark, used precise equipment to measure their positions, and then reported the buildings where the dwarves were hiding to the artillery behind them.
coordinate.
The 155 mm caliber artillery is as accurate as if it has eyes. An entire infantry squad or most of an infantry platoon stationed in a defensive position carefully arranged by the dwarves in a building is often destroyed by a single shell before it can fire.
Therefore, although the Tang army's artillery was not overwhelming, not magnificent, not overwhelming...the deterrent effect against all dwarf soldiers was not weakened at all.
That sudden loud sound, like the devil of hell knocking on the door, struck every dwarf in the heart, causing them to tremble involuntarily no matter how far away they were.
"Are you here to deliver ammunition?" When passing by a half-collapsed building, the dwarf soldier stationed in the building asked excitedly when he saw the ammunition box in the hands of a friendly soldier.
The dwarf delivering ammunition shook his head. He was ordered to deliver ammunition to the defensive position further forward. This is an order and he must complete it: "No, I want to go to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment."
"3rd Regiment 2nd Battalion? Wasn't their position just bombed? What's the use of you going there now?" A squad leader's beard trembled as he spoke: "Leave the ammunition to us, they probably don't need it.
Already."
"This is not possible, sir, I have to send the ammunition over... You don't want the ammunition to be intercepted by others while you are still fighting, right?"
"How are you talking? What is interception..." A dwarf soldier was furious and wanted to argue, but was stopped by his squad leader.
The squad leader thought for a while and came up with a compromise: "You're right, but we did see that position being hit by artillery shells. So far, we haven't heard anything from that position.
There has been gunfire... You can leave some of the ammunition and take some over first. If they are still fighting and need the ammunition, you can come back to get it... I promise... not to divide the ammunition yet."
"Okay! It's up to you." The soldier who delivered the ammunition did make sense after thinking about it, so he nodded, put down the ammunition in his hand, took some out of the large ammunition box behind him, and placed it on the ground.
Then he set off again, following the winding and almost invisible path, bypassing the piles of ruins and rubble on the ground, and his figure quickly disappeared among the ruins.
I don't know how much time passed, but the dwarf soldiers waiting on the battlefield heard a faint gunshot, and then everything fell silent again.
No one saw the soldier who delivered the ammunition again, and he did not come back to retrieve the ammunition he left behind. No one from the 3rd Regiment and 2nd Battalion he mentioned retreated, as if this organization had never appeared in the defending dwarf troops.
In the evening, the dwarf soldiers stationed on the position divided about 600 rounds of ammunition left by the soldier who delivered the ammunition. Each person received seven or eight rounds, which gave them several more opportunities to shoot.
They were fortunate that they were holding bolt-action rifles called Mosin Nagants. Seven or eight rounds of ammunition were enough for them to fight for a while. If they had used automatic weapons, this supply might not be enough for two people.
