Chapter 213 During the War
Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez placed the command on the roof of the fort, which had a better view here, and there was no need to worry about attacks, considering that the enemy did not have air force or artillery.
"All units are careful, all units are careful, the battle is about to begin, please be prepared for the battle." The voice of Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez came from the communicator, and Xia Yu ate a bite of bread. He really couldn't shoot such a battle.
So I simply decided to watch the show. In addition, the twenty special forces soldiers he brought back could also do the job of restocking at critical moments.
The soldiers rushed to their combat posts one after another. On the front line were two infantry platoons, scattered in dozens of foxglove pits, quietly waiting for the enemy to approach. Although the enemy was unlikely to have long-range artillery fire, they still dug foxglove pits. It has to be said that this army still has tactical qualities.
Soon, an infantry phalanx appeared in Xia Yu's sight in an orderly manner.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the queues were neatly arranged, was this here to give away the heads?
"What are they doing? Send to death?"
Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez shook his head and said, "No, they are testing, testing our firepower! These five hundred people are just pathfinding stones."
Xia Yu, who had played the real-time strategy game, immediately understood it. He was just a cannon fodder for exploring the map. However, the soldiers who exploring the map in the game were just data. This is a living person. Five hundred people were used to listen to the sound. This Manuk is really the decisive master of killing.
The infantry in this phalanx did not know whether they understood their mission and advanced towards the position without hesitation.
The lieutenant colonel picked up the communicator, "Firepower Team, no fire is allowed without my order, front line of positions, ready to fight."
When the enemy approached 200 meters, the infantry in the fox pits fired decisively.
The sound of gunfire sounded densely, and the phalanx infantry suffered a devastating blow almost instantly. The shields blocking the front were useless in the face of the bullets and were easily shot through. The soldiers fell in line, and the dense formation further increased the speed of casualties. After two-thirds of the casualties were killed, the remaining ones scattered.
This is not how high the enemy's aura is. It can withstand such high casualties before the deaths and deaths are over. The casualties are really too fast. When the people behind react, the people in front are almost dead.
Manuk looked at the soldiers who had been brought back with a gloomy face. The enemy's weapons were indeed very powerful. The individual weapons could actually shoot out 200 or 300 steps, and the firing rate was so fast and the power was so strong.
However, this was still within his expectations. With a wave of his hand, another phalanx of infantry pressed up, and there were still five hundred people. This time, they brought more than a dozen catapult cars and even dispersed the formation.
The soldiers in front also pushed wooden rafts made of logs to cover bullets.
"Lieutenant Colonel, they have heavy weapons and ask for fire support."
"The firepower team is not allowed to fire, repeat, no fire, fire platoons, are your mortars arranged? Kill them!"
Each infantry company has a fire support platoon, which is not only equipped with heavy machine guns, but also light mortars.
It is said to be a light mortar, but its range is still several thousand meters and its firing rate is extremely fast. It is naturally like playing against several slow-moving catapults.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong! A sound of cannons sounded, and the dozen or soccer chariots were blown into burning wood before they even got close to it, and there were even more soldiers falling down around them.
The wooden raft was not spared. One shell went down and instantly exploded into pieces, sweeping the soldiers behind them down in pieces.
This square formation collapsed instantly.
Manuk took a breath. What a powerful weapon, several thousand meters away from the battlefield, Manuk was still a little scared. If he was a little further away, he could blow up to his position. The enemy's weapons were indeed powerful.
"Cabinet team!" With a wave of his hand, a team of five hundred cavalry rushed to the battlefield. They arranged scattered formations and rushed towards the position like a gust of wind.
"Put in some and then fire, and wait until the enemy breaks into less than 300 meters before firing! Heavy machine guns are not allowed to fire."
Dada, a dense gunfire sounded, and the firepower of the automatic rifle was obviously not enough. Then the general-purpose machine gun also opened fire. The spitting flames swept across the cavalry team. The cavalry fell one after another from the horse's back. In an instant, two or three hundred casualties were killed and three hundred people. The rest scattered and there was no courage to charge anymore.
All the attacks failed, but Manuk was not only not angry, but instead showed a confident expression. It was indeed a very powerful weapon, but unfortunately, it was not unsolvable to me.
The weapons described by the gods appeared one by one, making him feel that he had figured out the enemy's details.
It's time to launch a full-scale attack.
"The whole army is pressing forward, ten square formations - attack!"
Five thousand troops were dispatched at one time, including infantry and crossbowmen. They patted the scattered formation and began to advance on the wide front of more than 1,000 meters.
As soon as the five thousand men set up their formation and pressed them up, Manuk immediately ordered again! "Go to ten more square formations, bring the crossbow and catapults this time, and come to the ten more square formations to prepare and take them at any time."
At this moment, Xia Yu also saw some signs on the earthen castle.
The enemy has finished tempting, and the next step is to prepare for a large-scale attack.
As soon as he finished speaking, dense lines of soldiers had appeared in the wilderness in the distance, scattered like ants, and could not see at first sight. He took out his telescope and looked into the distance. He could see more and more soldiers starting to unfold formations. Is there an extreme violence on the opposite side? The tactics of raising soldiers?
The lieutenant colonel also responded immediately, "The first-line position fires with all its strength, and the machine gun mortars from the second-line position are used to cover the front-line position.
"Firepower Squad, your mortars are strictly prohibited from attacking! Wait for my order."
"Air reconnaissance team, observe the enemy's positions for me and find the enemy's command center for me."
"Mobile Squad, don't let your chariots shut down. Your chariots are ready to join the war at any time. Be careful of the woods on the left wing, and drones reconnaissance that there are cavalry lying there."
A series of orders were issued, and the front line of positions also began to fight.
The sound of gunfire kept ringing, and the light infantry in the fox pit opened fire frantically, shooting any enemy within range like shooting a target. These enemies did not know how to cover and avoid. In front of automatic rifles, it was as simple as fighting zombies. The bulky armor became a fatal drag.
Sniper rifles specifically select officers to snipe, which is easier than modern warfare. All of the senior officers wear gorgeous armor and decorations, as if they are afraid that they will not be recognized. They often like to show courage, stand in the most conspicuous position, and shoot one shot at the right time.
But the machine guns that really caused the greatest damage were the machine guns. They could play their role to the greatest extent in the face of the sea of people. The dense firepower swept across the open ground like a storm, forming a line of death in front of the position, and no one could break into a range within 100 meters.
The enemies fell in large numbers, and the corpses spread out all the way forward, so many of which even formed corpses walls in some areas.
But the enemy's determination was extremely firm, and the heavy casualties could not stop them from approaching. Some people shouted while charging, staggering on the way to charge under the bullets.
Some used the cover of corpses to slowly advance, and some soldiers even discovered the mystery of crawling forward, lay on the ground and slowly crawled forward.
A large number of catapults and crossbows were pushed up, hundreds of them. Due to the large number, even those light mortars could not stop them from firing at all.
A stone bullet was shot out and flew over the front line of the position, landing in a wheat field behind the position, and hitting nothing.
This still scared the soldiers in the nearby fox pit.
