The weapons used by the snipers of the Dahua Empire were refined Cyric bolt-action rifles. After the war began, the Fengjiang snipers gradually replaced them with the G43 semi-automatic rifles equipped before the Tang Empire, which were equipped with a quadruple scope as standard.
The performance of the Fengjiang sniper rifle is actually very good. It does not need to pull the bolt to load bullets and can fire continuously. Except for the poor accuracy, it is excellent in other aspects.
In terms of weapons on both sides, the Fengjiang snipers are more powerful than the Dahua snipers. What's more, they have both received training from the Tang Empire snipers, so they are also more powerful in tactics.
These Fengjiang snipers also caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Dahua Empire. Although they themselves suffered heavy losses, the price paid by their opponents was obviously higher.
Since the invasion of Fengjiang City, the casualty rate of Dahua Empire soldiers has begun to rise sharply. More than 100 people are killed every day by sniper fire, but the speed of the Dahua Army's advance is really like a joke.
Such numbers may not seem like much, but when accumulated, they are already very troublesome: the corresponding report has been submitted to Zhao Chen, and he is now very anxious and does not know what to do.
You know, although the number of troops in his hands is still increasing, it has begun to appear stretched. On the one hand, he has to cope with the pressure from Wanliang, and on the other hand, he has to expand his position on both sides of Fengjiang. It is obvious that he is beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

"What are our snipers doing?" Zhao Chen asked after moving his headquarters from Hezheqian to the outskirts of Fengjiang and looking at the reports from his subordinates angrily.
Now he is less than 20 kilometers away from the Fengjiang front line, and is actually very close to the area being contested. This also shows his determination, or the determination of the Dahua Empire.
"Your Highness, calm down! Our snipers are also trying their best to find enemy snipers, but this is a very difficult task and they need time." An officer explained.
"I need time too!" Zhao Chen reprimanded angrily, and then realized that his attitude was indeed a bit too much, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Your Majesty, wait over there.
With the news of our victory, of course we, the ministers, have to share His Majesty's worries."
"His Royal Highness is right. Our snipers have shot and killed at least 80 enemy soldiers these days. They have indeed tried their best." The officer bit the bullet and said a few more words for his men.
Zhao Chen waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to say more: "Tell them to eliminate as many enemy snipers as possible. We can no longer endure such losses. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand!" Knowing that nothing more he said would be of any use, the officer could only lower his head and say.
In fact, it's not entirely to blame that Zhao Chen was annoyed. When he heard that the Tang Empire actually built a huge steel bridge in Jiange, he started to feel irritable.
Before, they had always believed that the Zangjian Gorge was a natural chasm, and it was almost impossible for the Tang Empire to cross this natural chasm.
So as long as they capture Fengjiang, most of the connections between the Tang Empire and the Fengjiang rebels will be cut off, and the entire situation will become favorable to the Great China Empire.
But now the situation has changed. If the Tang Empire was allowed to build the bridge before the Great China Empire captured Fengjiang, then all the strategic arrangements of the Great China Empire would become a joke.
By then, with the Jiange passage behind them, the support lines of the Tang Empire will be safer, and the Fengjiang Rebellion will turn from a scabies disease into a serious problem.
This is completely different from Zhao Chen's previous script. It is already very difficult for him to capture Fengjiang with the troops he has now. He will then go south to capture Shanping and Guiguang, and then go to Jiange... How much will be left in the end?
?
If the Tang Empire ended up directly joining the war in the middle of the battle, how could these remaining defeated generals stop the Tang Empire's Tang Iron torrent? Could it be that they had already defeated Fengjiang?
…
When the soldiers of the Dahua Empire charged towards the first reinforced concrete building they saw, they were inexplicably nervous.
This building is very special. It was not destroyed by artillery fire, or it was not completely destroyed by the intensive artillery fire - most of it still exists, but there are many holes in the walls of the building.
The Toyojiang defenders regarded this place as a commanding observation post, and at the same time they deployed some troops nearby to form a quite solid defensive position around this building.
The troops of the Dahua Empire hope to capture this place and drive the opponent out of this solid building, so that they can use this commanding height to observe the surrounding urban area and gain certain advantages.
So the battle started like this crazily: Braving the fierce firepower of machine guns, the soldiers of the Dahua Empire first launched an attack on a wooden building next to the building.
Dozens of soldiers fought to the death in the small ruins. In the end, the soldiers of the Great China Empire won the attack with a slight advantage.
Then the brutal battle really began. The goblin mercenaries stationed in the ruins were condescendingly guarding every room in the building, while the Dahua Empire soldiers on the periphery took advantage of their numerical advantage to continuously launch attacks here.
The soldiers of the Dahua Army threw grenades into the building, clearing out the defenders inside one house after another. The defenders inside also killed the Dahua soldiers outside the houses one after another.
The corpses of both sides were everywhere. The corpses of Dahua soldiers were all outside the building, and the corpses of goblins were also piled up in the house.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, the soldiers of the Great China Empire captured the first floor of the building, but the goblins stationed on the second floor refused to surrender.
The two sides started a new round of fierce fighting around the stairs and some damaged holes. At most, the stairs going upstairs were filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.
"Surrender! As long as you put down your weapons! We guarantee your safety!" The Dahua Empire soldiers downstairs shouted to persuade the goblins upstairs to surrender.
The goblins upstairs are indeed running out of ammunition and food at this time. But they still hope to continue to resist for a while, because after today, they can get double the reward.
"You don't have to shout anymore! We won't surrender! Come forward if you have the ability!" The goblin officer guarding the second floor refused to surrender while carrying a mirage.
After he finished speaking, a new battle began again: the Dahua soldiers downstairs once again launched a charge. They stepped on the corpses of their companions with bayonets and rushed to the second floor again.
The goblins on the second floor did not flinch. They also faced him with bayonets in hand. The two sides started a hand-to-hand fight at the narrow staircase, and the battlefield suddenly became extremely bloody.
The soldiers of the Dahua Empire have an advantage in strength, but the goblins have an advantage in flexibility in a small space. On the same front, the goblins have more people and more bayonets.
In this way, the two sides really fought a deadlock here, and the battle loss ratio was close to one to one. After five or six people on both sides died, the charge of the Dahua Empire came to nothing.
Returned.
"If you don't surrender, we won't be polite! Bastards!" The officers of the Dahua Empire downstairs shouted angrily.
"If you retreat today, we will give this place to you tomorrow!" The goblins upstairs don't really want to die here, they will bargain, of course to maximize their profits.
"Don't even think about it! That's what you said in the last block a few days ago! I know your plan!" The Dahua Empire commander downstairs yelled angrily.
He had suffered such a loss before. At that time, the goblins wanted to hold on to a place and asked the troops of the Great China Empire to postpone their attack and wait for them for a day.
The goblins did retreat the next day, but they blew up everything they could while retreating, leaving nothing behind for the soldiers of the Dahua Empire.
In addition to wasting another day, the superiors were very dissatisfied with their cowardice, so this time they asked their troops to attack the building as punishment.
If these goblins were allowed to escape this time, he would probably no longer have to be an officer, and would most likely be dealt with by military law.
"What I said is true! At worst, we promise not to blow up this building, okay?" the goblin upstairs said very sincerely.
Frankly speaking, they are all mercenaries. As long as they complete their performance, they can get money. There is no need to risk their lives.
If the troops of the Dahua Empire hadn't attacked so fiercely, they wouldn't have fought so desperately. Let's discuss it carefully. Today you can suspend the attack or give a symbolic fight. I will retreat after I complete my mission tomorrow.
, wouldn’t everyone be happy?
In fact, there is no chance to do such a thing all the time: the Tang Empire has snipers and artillery observers who often appear on the front lines. If you encounter such a thing, you may be fined.
Now we have such an opportunity, let's talk about business... We don't have to fight to the death, we make money and you take the merits, and everyone gets what they need. How wonderful?
"What are you talking about? Really not going to blow up?" The officer of the Dahua Empire downstairs was a little moved. To be honest, he had lost nearly 100 of his men here, and he really couldn't move.
"It really won't explode!" the goblin upstairs promised, slapping his chest. He had already lost 80 of his men here, which made him feel heartbroken.
The more the two of them chatted, the more they seemed to be interested in each other. If they had business cards, they would probably have to leave each other's phone numbers and contact each other next time...
In fact, this is war, and this is war in the eyes of mercenaries: as long as there is discussion, it can be discussed. They are here to make money, and of course there is no shame at all.
