Not every corner of this world is so peaceful. After Tiger's troops got close to the southern defense line of Beiyuan City, he ordered his artillery unit to start a tentative attack.
The Tang Army was not wealthy enough to replace all the artillery of its troops with self-propelled artillery, so the artillery in Tiger's hands was actually relatively backward.
In order to support the assault of the armored group on the west side, the Tang Army concentrated almost all self-propelled artillery into Redman's troops. This resulted in that the artillery in Tiger's hands were actually towed.
Heavy and clumsy towed howitzers are not very fast, but they are reliable and cheap and can indeed fill the gap left by self-propelled howitzers.
When Tiger's troops pushed 100 155mm-caliber howitzers to the front line, the Tang army's artillery fire made the mirage troops on the opposite side very uncomfortable.
The shells fired by these heavy artillery fell like raindrops on the position of the Mirage troops, reminding them of the horrific scenes half a month ago.
The Tang Army not only has 155mm caliber howitzers, they also have 105mm caliber howitzers and smaller 75mm caliber field guns.
Such a large number of artillery was enough to form an artillery group, which suppressed the mirage's positions with intensive firepower. Soon the mirage army gave up some less important front-line defensive positions, and then returned to their homeland with everything they could take away.
Core defense zone.
…
In the trench that had been almost flattened by artillery fire, the Mirage soldiers broke free from the floating soil. He gritted his teeth and pulled his hand out of the soil. This was definitely good news for him.
Because many of Mirage's soldiers have been reduced to parts, he can still find his arm, which is definitely something to be thankful for.
He struggled to free himself from the mud that had been thrown up by the shells and covered him, and then he stuck his head out from the edge of the trench and looked at the Tang Army tanks in the distance.
Seeing that the opponent was about to rush over, he quickly picked up a rifle produced by Cyric from the corpse beside him, pulled the bolt, and loaded a bullet.
Although this bolt-action rifle has a slow rate of fire, it is not without its advantages: at least it is reliable and will not be damaged easily.
The mirage soldier squinted his eyes, aimed at the Tang Army tank in the distance, and pulled the trigger in despair - he really had no other weapons and could only use his rifle to deal with the enemy tanks.
Sometimes things are so extreme: the weapon in your hand may not always be able to destroy the enemy in front of you. When the weapon is not up to the battle, you still have to fight to the end! This is war!
Do you think that when the enemy tanks drive up, you must have an anti-tank gun next to you? No! You may only have a dagger! Do you think that when the enemy aircraft starts to dive, you must have a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile? Stop making trouble
, you may be digging a hole with an anti-tank mine...
"Bang!" A gunshot broke the brief calm on the battlefield. The bullet hit the thick armor of the tank. Only a crisp sound was heard in the distance: "Dang!"
The Mirage Soldier retracted his head and breathed slightly nervously. He could smell an unpleasant smell of corpses, as well as the choking smell of earth and gunpowder smoke.
More Mirage soldiers opened fire. They used various weapons in their hands to pour ammunition at the tanks of the Tang Army.
The most common sounds were the Cyric Type 1 rifles, Maxim machine guns, and some Mauser pistols.
These pistols were obtained from the troops of the Qi State. They were small in number, but they were very useful. The soldiers of the Mirage State lacked automatic weapons, and it was actually not easy to find substitutes like Mauser pistols.
They even thought that this kind of pistol was quite easy to use, so they sent samples back to Mirage, hoping to imitate them and solve the problem of soldiers lacking automatic weapons.
"Side! Side!" Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire in the side trench, which scared the mirage soldier to shrink his neck. The soldiers next to him shouted loudly, reminding everyone that their flank seemed to be no longer safe.
Along with the shouts, some Mirage soldiers began to rush along the trenches towards the side where the gunfire was intensive. As they ran, they took out their bayonets from their waists, and then inserted their rifles.
It has to be said that compared to Zheng and Qi, the soldiers of Mirage are stronger in will. They have more perseverance and determination, can withstand more casualties, and at the same time have excellent combat qualities.
The battle had reached this point, and there were still very few soldiers from the Mirage Kingdom escaping. One by one, they rushed along the trenches towards the most intense fighting area.
"Click, click, click!" The Chicago typewriter in Tang Jun's hand made a crisp sound every time it fired, which was highly recognizable.
As such gunshots sounded, the soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom would fall one after another. It was not that the soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom had not struggled, but no matter what they did, under the continuous gunfire of the Tang Army, the Mirage Army suffered heavy losses. No matter how you look at it, the casualties seem inevitable.
"Ah!" The Mirage soldier just now also took out the bayonet from his waist, stuck it on his rifle, shouted and rushed along the trench to the flank.
He could hear the intensive gunshots coming from in front of him, and he could also hear the screams and wails of the fallen Mirage soldiers.
To be honest, he had heard shouts like this before. They were the cries of civilians begging for mercy when their Mirage soldiers killed Qi civilians who were repairing trenches.
At that time, he didn't pay attention to such cries, and now he doesn't feel scared or worried. He was already numb, and he was already numb when he killed those civilians.
Turning a corner, he saw the Mirage soldiers crowded together, struggling to advance in the narrow trench.
He shouted loudly with his bayonet in his hand, and then moved forward with the soldiers around him. He stepped on the corpses of his companions, and with the encouragement and threats of the officers, he walked forward step by step without hesitation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Soon, he could see someone in the front row falling, and bullets flew towards them like raindrops, stirring up a mist of blood in the crowd.
The flying blood aroused the violence in this Mirage soldier's heart. He held a rifle and looked ferocious. The moment his companion fell, he started running forward.
He wants to close the distance as much as possible, and then stab with the most fatal knife! He wants to kill these damn Tang people and leave no one alive!
Just as he was thinking this, the Tang Army soldier in front of him also saw the enemy rushing over. He was changing the magazine and saw the bayonet pointed over. This sudden change shocked him, and then he was next
I instantly remembered the postures I had trained repeatedly before.
He used his gun to push away the opponent's long bayonet, then stretched out his leg and kicked the opponent in the stomach.
Only then did the Mirage soldier, who was about 1.45 meters tall, remember his height. In front of this Tang Army soldier, who was about 1.85 meters tall, he was no different from his son who had just entered the first grade.
These days, goblins are generally between 1.4 and 1.5 meters tall, basically no different from children. This powerful and heavy kick made the mirage soldier realize the difference in size. He flew out and looked at
It flew out in a pleasing way.
It was like a high school student bullying a child who was only in the first grade of elementary school. This scene was quite shocking.
At the moment of the kick, the Tang soldiers even had a strange and sinful word pop up in their minds: child abuse! If you stop at this moment and take an X-ray, you can even clearly see it.
The mirage goblin was kicked so hard that he had several broken sternums.
He really wanted to complain: Is it still possible? Even the girls from Bunas are taller than these mirage dwarfs!
The goblin soldier who was lying on the ground finally realized that he had been kicked down, so he tried to struggle to sit up, but because there were too many corpses under him, he couldn't sit up for a long time.
Finally, he finally sat up, but he was greeted by a barrage of bullets! This Tang soldier had already changed his magazine, so naturally he would not be stingy with his bullets.
The Mirage soldier who finally sat up looked down at the bullet hole in his chest. He saw blood spurting out of the hole uncontrollably. He reached out and touched it.
Then, he looked carefully at the blood on his fingers, and fell straight down the next second.
This time, the counterattack of the Mirage Army started like a tide and receded like a tide. With the crisp sound of Chicago typewriters, all the Mirage soldiers fell to the ground. The flesh and blood of these goblin soldiers who could only scream were still no match for them.
bullet.
The tanks of the Tang Army, which were not far from the Mirage Army's position before, had already rolled over the Mirage Army's trenches and rushed onto this small high ground.
Behind this tank was another tank. Behind it were Tang Army soldiers who had already begun to jump into the trenches.
Less than two hours after the battle began, the Tiger cluster, which was dominated by infantry, had already captured a considerable portion of the positions where the Mirage Army was stationed.
Now, Beiyuan City, which is close to the sea, is being beaten in both directions to the southwest, and Mirage Takesaburo, who is responsible for commanding the battle, is even more distressed.
He had already pressed up a lot of reserves. If he still couldn't stop the Tang army's attack, he would have to consider a plan to shrink the defense line.
But some people are dissatisfied with this plan: the base camp of the Mirage Kingdom feels that there is no need for this at all. They will soon provide new supplies and support troops. And the shrinking of the defense line planned by Mirage Saburo does not mean that the Mirage Kingdom is lost.
face?
Therefore, after two days of hard fighting, the Mirage troops still stood on the dilapidated position, waiting in fear for the Tang Army's follow-up attack every day.
