After receiving the news via telegraph that Morgan and others had escaped, Perbov realized that the road to Sanchi Town would definitely not be peaceful.
To be honest, he was a little annoyed.
After all, his troops stayed in Sanchi Town for more than two days, but they didn’t realize that it was a den of thieves
Looking back in hindsight, I could tell something about it at that time. Clueful. But at that time, all his thoughts were on planning the next operation, and thinking about how many camps could be taken down through intimidation, where some military means might be needed.
To put it bluntly, it was to deal with Miike who had already been taken care of. The town didn't pay enough attention, which led to such a big mess.
Seven clerks from the Ministry of Civil Affairs escaped, which is good news. And the information they sent back also made him very concerned.
In the wasteland, looters have always been a serious problem.
In this operation, why should he relocate all but the agricultural population that must be retained? In addition to the large manpower gap in Weixing City, there are also There was a big problem, and it was also a problem that Gu Hang had told him a long time ago. He didn't have the energy to run those small camps with low value.
It’s not true that there is no value at all, but the input-output ratio is seriously unequal. If we want to operate, we need to import a large amount of materials and support industries. To put it bluntly, we need to engage in poverty alleviation work.
In addition to poverty alleviation, military power must also be invested in protection. Otherwise, camps that become slightly richer will become the fat sheep that are targeted.
Marauders and monsters in the wild are all big threats in the wasteland.
At present, in this part of the area covered by Perbeuf's troops, in addition to gathering many camps, he is also tasked with suppressing bandits.
The three remaining agricultural camps need a stable environment to expand production; this area is also an important trade route from Weixing City to Shushi Town, which is the industrial base of Weixing City. As an important source of raw materials, Garbage Town itself also needs to ensure this transportation route and import food.
According to the Governor, he wants every force in this area to plant the flag of the New Alliance, and of course the Marauder force is among them.
Originally, Purbov did not know that banditry was so serious here. He also planned to finish the affairs of the survivor settlements in various places before talking about suppressing bandits.
Now, it seems that we have to do it in advance.
In the same way, Purbov could also tell that those plunderers would never have the courage to confront him head-on, otherwise they would have started fighting when he entered Sanchi Town unprepared.
But since they finally chose to rebel, they must have something to rely on.
Guerrilla warfare in urban ruins environment Perbov then thought of this and made a judgment based on this that he could not let this gang of looters really escape. Thousands of people, broken into pieces, ran into the ruins before the war, and then attacked at any time to harass the business roads, then heThere really isn't much that can be done to the other party.
The entire bandit suppression operation became a protracted counter-guerrilla campaign.
He made his decision almost immediately.
"The entire army will immediately attack Sanchi Town"
In addition to the rapid advance of his headquarters, he also had orders to give to several other companies that were released.
According to his request, the two fastest mechanized infantry companies will penetrate directly behind Sanchi Town. The Edifier V infantry fighting vehicle has excellent off-road performance. It can maintain a relatively good forward speed without relying on roads.
The order he gave to the two company commanders was to seize the retreat of Sanchi Town. If they have already begun to evacuate, launch a direct attack, delay their evacuation, and wait for the main force to come and encircle them.
The two motorized infantry companies quickly advanced along the roads in both directions. The trucks carried the soldiers and swooped towards Sanchi Town from the direction connected by the road.
Perbov himself led the battalion along the main road towards Sanchi Town. The tank battalion and artillery battalion may run slower, but they are also the strongest troops.
One day later, when the main force led by Perbov was still two days away from Sanchi Town, they received two pieces of news.
There is already a fight ahead.
The mechanized infantry company he sent to penetrate the rear arrived at just the right time. Each of them caught the tail of a retreating raider tribe and launched a direct attack.
The enemy obviously lacked awareness of the marching speed of the mechanized troops. This group of guys who relied on walking and oxcarts to pull goods were caught off guard.
Rambler v played a great role in the wilderness. The 40mm machine gun fired wildly without any scruples. Even if the marauders used oxcarts and various goods as temporary shelters, it was difficult to stop them. It was modified and placed on the weapon station of the infantry fighting vehicle, replacing the parallel machine gun. The bolt machine gun, like a small continuous-fire howitzer, bombarded the enemy crazily.
The dismounted infantry accompanied the infantry fighting vehicles in advancing and mopping up, mainly doing the work of replenishing guns.
There are cannons among the enemy troops. The caliber of the small mountain cannon is not large, but if it is really deployed and fired a few times from the front, it can really destroy a few infantry fighting vehicles if you are unlucky.
Unfortunately, those mountain cannons were hit repeatedly by machine guns and bolt machine guns before they even had time to set up a bombardment formation, and were directly destroyed.
After these mountain cannons failed to play any role, the only means they had left to threaten the infantry fighting vehicle was the direct-fire rocket launcher.
But this thing, beyond two hundred meters, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy, and even if it hits, the power is not enough. If you really want to ensure the hit rate and the power to threaten the Edifier's side armor, you have to get within a few dozen meters, and it's best to have two or three groups attacking together.
How many conditions does this have?Harsh
There were many warriors who tried to get closer with rocket launchers, but in this wilderness with no cover, there was no chance of getting close at all. The Edifier's vehicle crew is integrated with an excellent battlefield reconnaissance system. Most threats can be detected in advance through the observation port, and then a round of machine guns and explosive bombs will be fired at them, and those warriors who really dare to attack can be immediately killed, including people. Blast the tubes in your hands together.
And even if there are one or two rocket launcher groups emerging from a place where the infantry tank cannot observe well, it doesn't matter.
This is what soldiers who get off their vehicles and fight on foot do.
T5-level soldiers are strong enough no matter what their military skill level is.
You have barrels, and so do I, more than you; the gun in my hand is more accurate, farther, and more powerful than yours.
With a few bursts of fire, or a rocket launcher shot over beforehand, those Marauder fire teams that managed to get close were wiped out.
When the warriors who had the courage to launch a counterattack were almost dead, the remaining ones who were not courageous enough finally couldn't hold on anymore and were completely defeated, and then they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the wilderness. The soldiers used various weapons to eliminate them on the way to escape.
In fact, even if they are all brave enough to resist death, so what?
Suffering a sudden attack by mechanized troops, they have no positions, no bunkers, lack of heavy weapons, and are surrounded by no cover. In the wilderness, it is a free target.
Of course, there were more of them, and many of them ran away in a completely disorderly retreat.
However, without baggage or supplies, it was impossible to say how many of the escaping raiders would survive and how many would be able to regroup and return.
If the two mechanized infantry companies responsible for outflanking fought a very beautiful surprise battle and were a great victory, then they attacked the two motorized infantry companies in Sanchi Town from two directions along the road. The infantry company suffered a small loss and was considered a draw.
These two companies are somewhat lacking in heavy weapons and heavy vehicles.
For a motorized infantry company, there are only Iron Bull troop transport trucks and Ranger motorcycles.
The enemies they faced were well prepared.
According to the battle reports, the plunderers obviously expected that Purbeuf would lead his army. They laid mines and bombs on the road; they built roadblocks and positions on the road; they laid ambushes on both sides of the road, preparing to attack from both sides when the team passed by.
All of their arrangements were effective.
However, the only thing they did not expect was that the soldiers who came to fight would be so elite.
When a company was advancing, the Ranger Motorcycle took the lead and discovered the enemy soldiers blocking the road early and sent the news back; the reconnaissance squad in the company also discovered both sidesAfter the ambush, troop trucks immediately dropped the soldiers and faced them on both sides.
Bombs and mines along the road destroyed two trucks, but they failed to cause further casualties. The engineers of the company were strengthened to begin clearing mines and building positions based on vehicles.
These responses and responses made the looters who were the ambush party feel a little confused.
Something's wrong
It's not like they haven't used similar methods in the past. Those caravans that were ambushed, even if they had relatively powerful mercenaries and guards, would be disoriented after suffering such a blow, and it was very likely that they would collapse directly.
Even if they are not defeated, it is good enough to be able to resist with the help of the baggage organization's defense line. There is no room for a counterattack against the ambush
The key point is that the counterattack is particularly fierce
p>
An infantry squad can fight against hundreds of people. Their tactical movements were standard and effective. They lowered their bodies and relied on the relatively small ups and downs of the terrain to cover their bodies. When shooting at each other, their shooting skills were precise and surprisingly powerful. On the other hand, on their side, a flurry of bullets hit them, and they didn't know whether they hit or not. Anyway, no one on the other side fell down. On the contrary, if someone pulled the trigger and fired three times in a row, someone on their side would die.
It is a bit exaggerated that an infantry squad can block the ambush troops in one direction from rushing forward.
But what can we do? We can’t have hundreds of people on our side. We really can’t let ten of them get away.
After taking a short rest, they began to initiate A powerful impact. Intensify firepower from the front for direct shooting, and send people to penetrate around the sides.
Who doesn’t know how to intersect?
As a result, the team responsible for intersecting met another infantry squad head-on.
Then, a few heavy firepower from the platoon and company came up.
In the convoy, after the mortar positions were set up urgently, they began to show off their power; the team also took out the rocket launchers and replaced them with high-explosive ammunition. When the looters launched an attack, a It was sent down and exploded, killing several of them.
It’s really impossible to attack.
Then, more soldiers rushed out of the positions built on cars and launched a countercharge in the direction of the two ambush troops.
The ambushes on both sides of the road, each numbering 200 men, were actually overwhelmed by such a rush.
However, these soldiers did not pursue them too hard.
After all, in a gunfight between infantrymen in the wilderness, there will still be some casualties.
Not necessary at all.
They retreated to their position and allowed the looters who had retreated to come back up.
This is exactly what you want.
The efficiency of using guns to kill people on the battlefield is still too low.
In fact, as soon as the battle started, they had already informed the rear.
After receiving the news, the driver in charge of the artillery support company in the main battalion far behind stepped on the accelerator. In less than half an hour, I ran almost 20 kilometers.
This is a somewhat risky decision. It will be risky for the artillery battalion to move forward without protection. The only people accompanying him for protection were dozens of soldiers on Ranger motorcycles drawn from the guard platoon, engineers and logistics.
But obviously the looters, who had never seen heavy artillery, did not take this factor into consideration.
The artillery support company, which advanced 20 kilometers, stopped the Tieniu that acted as a tractor truck, and then set up the tractor artillery behind it.
Using the position returned by the infantry in front, they set up the shooting elements. Then, the ten war gods in front of them began to roar.
The 155mm howitzer they put out has a range of nearly 25 kilometers.
And that is where the two motorized infantry companies in front are fighting.
After fighting face to face and with ambushes on both sides for almost an hour, they finally received friendly artillery support.
Twelve rounds of heavy artillery landed two to three hundred meters away from their position, covering a half circle.
The looters were stunned.
The shell, which is half a man tall and weighs 50 kilograms, is enough to blast a two-meter deep hole on the ground, with a damage range nearly as large as a football field.
The bodies of those close to the center of the explosion were gone; those a little further away had their internal organs shattered by the shock wave and killed by shell fragments
Without fortifications and bunkers, this round The shelling caused heavy losses to the ambushing and blocking looters.
In addition to the personnel losses, the more serious blow was to morale.
In the previous hour of fighting, they tried their best, but they could not take down this group of soldiers, which was less than half their number. However, they were forced to counterattack several times and some of them died.
I had all sorts of advantages, including calculations with intention but no care, waiting for work at leisure, ambush with advantage of the location, and attacking the few with more, and it turned out to be a stalemate battle.
This originally made them very frustrated.
And this round of heavy artillery smashed down, which directly turned this frustration into a courageous one.
We had just fought hard for an hour, and the number of people who died was probably not as many as those killed by this round of shelling
At the time of landing, the looters, whose morale had completely collapsed, began to They ran back; but the few who followed the orders of the leader and captain and stayed were immediately greeted by the second round of shelling.
After the deafening heavy artillery bombardment ended, no one alive finally dared to continue fighting.
You can’t win the fight. Staying on the outside is just a waste of time. Who will do it?
However, if you want to escape at this time,But it's not that easy anymore.
There are indeed motorcycles in the motorized infantry company.
The rangers who had been put into the position before suddenly came out. There were two people in a car, one riding a bicycle and the other manipulating the machine gun set up on the side of the carriage, and began to pursue outwards. A large number of infantry followed closely behind, charging out with the accompaniment of the Charge.
How could the escaping marauders outrun the patrollers, who had excellent off-road performance? A large number of them were mowed down by light machine guns on motorcycles, and once someone tried to stop and fight back, the patrollers would Hunters don’t bother much either. The infantrymen who follow up will immediately take out their rocket launchers to greet them, followed by intensive gunfire.
The marauders who participated in this blocking and ambush battle suffered extremely heavy casualties, and not even one out of ten was able to escape from the battlefield.
Two battles and two reports, when Perbov got it into his hands, he was still a little alert.
This is undoubtedly a great victory. On the two battlefields, at least two thousand enemies were defeated, and there were countless casualties among them. There was no time to count them. Anyway, there must be more than a thousand people.
As for our own side, the combined casualties of the two mechanized infantry companies did not exceed double digits; the two motorized infantry companies suffered slightly worse, but their combined casualties were only about thirty people.
This battle loss ratio has reached 1:50, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
There are still some.
Perbov is summarizing experience and lessons.
For example, the motorized infantry company should not be allowed to advance too far forward, causing artillery support from the rear to be in place one hour after the battle begins. If this time can be moved forward by another half hour, the casualties of the motorcycle company may be reduced further.
For example, if he divides his troops more now, he also has to consider what the follow-up actions of the Sanchi Town raiders who still have the main force will be. After all, he still doesn't know clearly how many people the opponent has, how many weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons, and what they are.
What if the enemy also has relatively strong heavy firepower, and takes advantage of his current situation of dividing his troops to launch a fierce attack on one of the troops?
But thinking about it the other way around, this problem is There is no solution.
If he had gathered his troops in one place, he might still be walking halfway on the road. If the enemy took advantage of this moment to fight a blocking battle on the road, even if it was of little effect, they would gradually block him step by step. After a few hours, what if the large army of marauders from behind got the news and took this opportunity to disperse and run away?
On the contrary, the current situation is pretty good. .
With the help of artillery, the motorized infantry company overcame the ambush enemy and marched to the front of Sanchi Town, where they were already building positions and encircling them.
The mechanized infantry company cruised behind, blocking the retreat.
Looking separately, the four companies locked the four directions of Sanchi Town, and effectively blocked the group of looters who had gathered together and were preparing to evacuate in Sanchi Town.
As long asIf he can win another great victory and fight a battle of annihilation, at least five thousand marauders will be eliminated along with the results of the previous battle.
From Wei Xing City to Junk Town, all the looters and bandits along the way have been wiped out.
Of course, there will definitely be a small number of fish that slip through the net, but that is no longer the case.
How did the plunderers come about? It is not ruled out that some people are born bad, but they are a very small number. Most of the plunderers were ordinary people who couldn't survive. In order to seek a chance of survival in this wasteland, they began to rob others of their lives.
Killing people and buying goods may sound abhorrent, but when you think about it, there is also a certain amount of helplessness you can do about it.
And if the 45-level welfare policy that Ms. Oceana is promoting in Fuxing City can be successfully extended to all places in this area; most of the propertyless poor are moved away, then this area The local plunderers' living soil will be completely wiped out quickly.
Without the source and the poor people who are potential robbers, these gangsters will have to fight one less one. There is no situation where the suppression is incomplete and the more they are suppressed.
Pubov sat in the command vehicle, thinking about the whole thing carefully, and finally decided to continue to maintain the current combat method of dividing troops for encirclement and suppression.
Risks are risks. From purely military considerations, it is not appropriate to fight like this.
This is a bit like fighting a political war, but Purbov remembered what the governor said when he was chatting with them officers one time. Military is an extension of politics, and war is the most cruel and fierce kind. Special violent political means.
He now understands a little bit what it means.
“This is so damn disrespectful to us”
“They must be taught a harsh lesson”
“It’s great to have armored vehicles and guns Ah"
In Sanchi Town, the leaders are having a meeting.
From Terrell on down, the crowd was excited and everyone was clamoring.
They said harsh words, but in reality, they were all panicking.
How can we not panic
The original plan was to evacuate as soon as the army left, and try to take as many bottles and cans as possible from home. As a result, a mole was found and the clerks who were caught escaped.
Then, we made a plan and continued to withdraw. We even decided to take the lead and let some people leave with some baggage. By the way, we set up blocking positions on the enemy's way, using mines and roads. Edge bomb.
As a result, the blocking position was penetrated within an hour, and most of the people sent to participate in the blocking battle were killed or injured. The troops who first evacuated with part of their baggage were bypassed and stolen. They were attacked by mechanized troops, and all the belongings and belongings they were escorting were lost. Of the 2,000 people, less than 400 came back.
The continuous bad news is really confusing.
What is even more dizzying is the combat effectiveness displayed by this new alliance's army.
Forty armored vehicles and less than 200 infantrymen defeated ten times the number of our own people with almost no casualties; some 200 infantrymen relied on trucks to form a defensive position and fought with nearly a thousand people for an hour. , and then brought in artillery fire to cover the whole battle
How to fight?
Indeed, their group of looters still has the main force, and there are still more than 3,000 people in Sanchi Town. Woolen cloth. But according to the combat strength shown by the New Alliance Army before, all three thousand people pounced on it, which was probably just a matter of several rounds of artillery coverage and one round of armored forces impact.
If you ask them to give in, they won’t, and they are just yelling fiercely. Terrell has already tried to attack with generals, but no one of them is willing to lead his own troops out to fight.
During the commotion, Terrell finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He slammed the table several times until everyone was quiet, then he spoke
"Are you done with the quarrel?"
Looked at Terrell The big leader looked so grim that no one dared to speak anymore.
But in fact, there are still many people who have disdain in their hearts, and even those who are generous will show this emotion directly on their faces.
How can a leader maintain his majesty among the plunderers
Without him, battle merit is yours.
If you can lead your brothers to win battles and lead them to drink and eat meat, then you are the best. No matter whether it is loyalty or cruelty, it is nothing more than a matter of style.
But if you lose the battle, someone will stab the loyalist in the back; someone who rules cruelly will be overthrown.
He has not reached this level yet, but there are already signs of it.
Two disastrous defeats, plus being trapped in a desperate situation in Sanchi Town, greatly shaken his prestige.
He can even imagine that there must be many people who are already shaking in their hearts and thinking about what Bol said before.
Is surrendering a better option? Taking advantage of the previous opportunity to join the new alliance, so that you don’t have to face the enemy directly. Even if you lose your privileges, it is better to be an ordinary civilian than to lose it. life.
I am afraid there are not a few people who have this kind of mentality. And all these things will turn into resentment and fall on him, the great leader.
But there is still a way to survive.
He has to find a way out for his brothers, and then his prestige may still have a chance to be maintained.
Seeing that the people below him stopped talking because of his action of slapping the table, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, the prestige accumulated over the years has not been exhausted yet.
He took a long breath and began to tell his plan
"Those lackeys of the governor, to be honest, there are only about 800 people. Their weapons and equipment are fierce, but in order to surround us, They divided their forces too much. We concentrated all the remaining artillery and explosives in one place and launched an all-out assault.Can rush out. ”
Someone jumped out and sang the opposite tune, “The people the big leader said are easy to die are all our people.”
Following that, someone else said, “I don’t know if you say rush out.” How many people are going to die along the way? Little Boer is right, it's better to just forget it honestly before. ”
First there were sporadic words, and then the rest of the people looked eager to try, as if the whole meeting was about to turn into a vegetable market.
But the words continued. The gunshot interrupted the quarrel.
The three who just spoke had bullet holes in their foreheads.
They fell on their backs with disbelief on their faces.
The shooter was Terrell.
The rest of the people were shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if they had not expected it at all. Rael actually dared to draw a gun and kill people in such a scene.
They were all gangsters. In an instant, some people subconsciously wanted to draw a gun.
" "Don't move!" Terrell shouted.
But at this time, shouting alone is useless
There are still people who continue to draw guns.
But this At that time, the many looters standing guard around them raised their guns as if they were prepared, and aimed at those who made any unusual moves.
These people are undoubtedly Terrell's. Confidant.
Since Terrell has anticipated the current scene, he will certainly be prepared.
These guards who have been prepared are all targeting those who have any unusual movements. The leader opened fire, but the bullets shot out, which was not a good thing. It was common for the bullets to deflect and hit innocent people.
Many people fell down and died; there was no movement at first, but they suffered. Some of the casualties were shouting, and some tried to resist, but in the end they were all swept to the ground like the previous ones.
Soon, all the looters on one side of the conference hall were swept to the ground. The leaders were all shot.
On the other side, there was no movement.
There were die-hard supporters of Terrell, and they were even concerned about the scene at this moment. It was also expected.
After the matter calmed down, Terrell stood up and cursed angrily, "A bunch of shameless people. ”
After scolding him, he assigned his supporters to receive and integrate the tribesmen of the killed people.
At the end of the arrangement, he asked people to follow him. Two wooden boxes were dragged in from outside.
After opening them, there were small green medicine bottles wrapped in hay.
“Pass these down. , when it comes time to break out, arrange for the commandos to drink it. ”
The war came more suddenly than expected.
Terrell eliminated the internal opponents and spent almost all the prestige he had accumulated over the years. , reluctantly suppressed the tribes to which the slaughtered leaders belonged, and took over those people.
Immediately, he worked hard to adjust.The troops were mobilized, hoping to mobilize all the more than 3,000 to nearly 4,000 people remaining in Sanchi Town at one go, and carry out an all-out breakout operation in the same direction.
The heavy artillery owned by the New Alliance army is the weapon he fears most.
Once this thing is fired, if the personnel stand a little denser, there will be dozens or hundreds of casualties; but unfortunately, the battlefield width for breaking out of the city will not be too wide. If we want to break through decisively, , to ensure that the strength of the assault force is sufficient, so that the force cannot be too scattered.
However, this will greatly enhance the lethality of the opponent's artillery.
It is really a dilemma.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to choose.
The method Terrell planned to adopt was to order the troops to make a fierce raid regardless of the cost, and rush to a range of tens of meters with the enemy, or even a range where they could engage in hand-to-hand combat.
As a result, the distance between the enemy and ourselves is reduced to a very close range, and the heavy artillery in the hands of the New Alliance Army is not so easy to use.
Always be wary of accidental injuries. The other side is more vulnerable to death than your own side.
However, he somewhat underestimated the difficulty of integrating the troops after he killed someone. Although mutiny and direct internal firefighting were barely avoided, the speed at which the entire force was able to regroup and assemble strength was far slower than expected.
Before he prepared his troops for a breakout, the New Alliance Army attacked them first.
At the beginning of the attack, the looters who were still in chaos in Sanchi Town felt a little confused.
Even Terrell was a little confused when he ventured onto a high platform to fight outside.
There is no doubt that the heavy artillery bombarded first. On the edge of Sanchi Town, the buildings in the town, and the looters who dug trenches by the way, did not dare to show up when they were bombarded. If it weren't for the pressure of the leaders of various departments, no one would dare to run. I am afraid that this round of shelling will directly smash the outer defense line.
For the looters hiding in fortifications, bunkers, and trenches, the casualties were actually not bad. If they were not bombarded from the front, or if they got too close and were killed and injured by the shock wave, The ferocious and terrifying fragments were unable to penetrate the cover and cause damage.
Anyway, it won’t be like those unlucky ones who were engaged in blocking operations before. If they were bombed in the wilderness, they would die miserably.
However, the sound of cannons that can really deafen people's ears and the terrifying power that makes the earth tremble are frightening. The key people's artillery array is probably more than 20 kilometers away. Even if they want to fight back, they can't even see a shadow.
It is possible to calculate the approximate location of the enemy's artillery array through the trajectory of the artillery shells, but it is of no use. I do have artillery at home, but the small-caliber, off-brand mountain artillery can no longer maintain accuracy even if it can hit a distance of ten miles. It has no way to deal with the heavy artillery position 20 kilometers away, and can only retreat and be bombed.
But if that’s all, thenIt was within Terrell's expectation.
However, after this round of shelling, he could see that the New Alliance army had launched a formal onslaught.
Just after the shelling, probably only about two hundred meters away from the explosion point, the infantry of the New Alliance had already emerged. The mortar team also showed off its power and launched a round of shelling forward.
The soldiers were charging forward quickly. Before the heat from the mortar and heavy artillery fire had dissipated, they had already rushed into the position that had just been bombed.
The looters who were stunned by the bombing and the injured were shot. Those who were lucky enough to be fine had no time to construct any effective defense measures and were scattered and eliminated clearly. dropped.
But the position is of course not only one level. In addition to the bombed position, there are of course other looters behind. If they emerge to shoot at this moment, of course they can also be a threat. to the attacking soldiers.
But they didn't, because a new round of artillery fire had already covered their position.
The most terrifying thing is that the infantry of the New Alliance are only about 200 meters away from the explosion point. The killing range of that terrifying heavy artillery was almost close to a hundred.
They are really not afraid of being shot down by a cannon, and it will be tilted a little and hit their own people
The gunners are not afraid, the commanders are not afraid, and the infantrymen who are on the front line are not afraid themselves
p>
Terrell has never seen this kind of posture before.
A few words of Cibu, Artillery, and Xujin barrages that he had only heard of but never seen appeared in his mind.
He knew that the fringe position he had spent a lot of time building up front was finished.
But Terrell immediately realized that he could not really let the edge position end.
Otherwise, if the New Alliance troops rush in, without the fortifications and trenches on the edge of the town, the battle will become more difficult.
That was originally his starting position when he broke out from behind.
Terrell gritted his teeth and issued an order to the troops in the rear, in order to let his own artillery also fire.
Mountain artillery with a much smaller caliber, even if it cannot hit the artillery positions behind the New Alliance Army, will still pose a threat to the enemies in front of them and let them have a taste of artillery fire.
In addition, more looters, under his order, counterattacked in the direction of the Union army's attack.
He didn't want to be like this, but the situation changed quickly, and there was no time for him to slowly organize his team and find a way to break out. If we really want to fight a breakout battle, then we really have to defeat the enemy in front of us, so that they can take advantage of the situation and fight their way out.
However, just when he had just ordered a large number of his own troops to fill the first line and engage in close firefights with the soldiers of the new alliance, two new situations happened.
First of all, they had just fired two rounds of artillery array, and it was finished.
He has ordered that heThe artillerymen tried their best to fire one shot and moved to another place. However, the place in Sanchi Town is narrow, and it is not easy for the artillery to move around. It is even more difficult to move. What's more, although their cannons are light, they lack towing vehicles. If they rely on people to push them, the speed of transfer cannot be guaranteed at all.
As a result, people were caught in the act.
Their artillery could not hit the artillery array of the New Alliance Army, but their heavy artillery undoubtedly brought their artillery within the range.
After two rounds of shelling, the marauders' artillery positions were gone.
Not only did the artillerymen suffer heavy casualties, but a large number of artillery pieces were also blown up and damaged.
Of course, after the alliance's artillery directed its fire at the artillery array in the town, there was no way to cover the fighting soldiers ahead.
Although the attacking infantry companies still have some mortars that can be used, the power of these things is a bit far behind the 155 howitzer.
This also slowed down the soldiers' ability to break through the outer defense line, and also allowed the marauders who followed the troops to really succeed in bringing the fighting range to within a hundred meters.
At this distance, the effectiveness of firearms is greatly enhanced, and it will be difficult for the Alliance's heavy artillery to take care of them here.
No matter how accurate the Alliance's artillery fire is, and no matter how fearless the Alliance soldiers are, the accidental damage of the artillery is not fake. Naturally, they can no longer hit the heads of both sides in a melee with heavy artillery without restraint.
However, just when the thought of forcing himself to comfort himself just came to him, Terrell saw another scene that made his hands and feet feel cold.
The tank company of the New Alliance is coming up
A total of twelve tanks set off clouds of smoke and dust on the dirt road. The 76mm smoothbore gun began to show its power.
You know you don’t have to deal with any armored targets. The tanks are equipped with high-explosive fragmentation bombs. Twelve artillery pieces opened fire in unison, and at a distance of only a few hundred meters to less than a thousand meters, they began to attack the plunderers' newly formed counterattack.
The looters seemed to have little choice against these steel creations.
The infantry also took advantage of the fire cover of the tanks and began to move forward. Their focus was on Marauder fire teams trying to pose a threat to the tanks. As for the places where the enemy is defending, such as foxholes and temporary positions built using building ruins, there is nothing to talk about. Just call in the tank soldiers to fire two rounds, or even use coaxial machine guns to sweep them away.
The tracks rolled over the trenches, and the tanks drove into a closer distance to fight in coordination with the infantry.
The looters' counterattack momentum was directly destroyed. Those who dared to get close to engage in close firefights all experienced the power of tank guns and coaxial machine guns, resulting in heavy casualties.
Seeing this scene, Terrell finally couldn't maintain his composure.
He angrily picked up the field walkie-talkie and yelled, "Drink all those potions and fight with them."If you don't win, you have no way to survive."
After finishing speaking, he took a few deep breaths, then trembled all over, as if he understood something, and hurriedly got off the podium.
Then, his closest and most confidant team protected him and headed out of Sanchi Town in another direction.
He was about to run away.
