"It's coming! ”

After surviving the heavy shelling for half a whole month, the belated Amestorius army finally stopped shelling. Infantry was sent into the city.

"It's really coming! Amestorians! It's coming! ”

Behind the broken rock wall is the stubborn resistance of the Ishubar rebels.

After half a month of heavy and precise shelling, more than two-thirds of the Ishbals in the shelled area were killed or wounded. A large number of people were killed and injured by shells, including women and children.

The artillery fire of the Amestorius army on the opposite side of here was very vigorous unlike that in other areas. Not only is the density amazing, but the shooting is very patient.

It seems that it is the same to go through every house, but all houses will be shelled again, and there are few exceptions.

The area around the hidden troops and firepower points in the city became the hardest hit area of the shelling, and all the surrounding buildings were razed to the ground by the dense artillery fire without any suspense.

The fortifications were breached, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. The Ishbals, who had not yet met the enemy, had already suffered far more heavy losses than in the rest of the region.

For half a month, although the battle situation was very tense, and the army of Amestoli had an advantage in equipment and numbers, the city was after all the domain of the Ishbals.

Confident that they would be able to defeat the army of Amestories in the scorching battle in the city, the Ishbarians were not afraid of the Amestories, and vowed to turn the city into a graveyard for their enemies......

But somehow this trick doesn't work here.

The cunning Amestories army turned the entire city through with artillery fire, destroying almost all the defenses and strongholds. And rightfully so, the Ishbals were hit hard.

With the gods of Ishbal on top, and the continuous intensive artillery fire for half a month, the Ishbal people, who have never seen modern warfare, dare not even think about it.

They don't understand where the army of Amestories got so many shells? Why can't you finish the fight, just don't rush over and do it with their real guns.

Because they had no concept or preparation for such a large amount of equipment and ammunition, the Ishubars did not dig deep anti-artillery holes and tunnels, but only dug some urban bunkers and barricades.

Because they simply do not have the concept of long-term artillery preparation in modern warfare.

It is not known how important anti-artillery fortifications really are in modern warfare.

Therefore, after the reconnaissance, Estes said that the Ishbars were looking for death, because the fortifications they dug in the city were all for infantry warfare, but they were completely unprepared for artillery battles and fortifications.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Ishbals suffered heavy casualties under shelling

"It's coming! Eight hundred meters away! ”

On the wasteland outside the city, the Amesh Storian Army, which was composed of squads and platoons, bowed and formed a straggler formation, began to move towards the city unhurriedly.

The soldiers did not shout loudly, nor did they hold their heads high, and their expressions were impassioned.

One by one, as if a silent machine, like a textbook template, they took a firm and steady step towards the city.

The people of Ishbal know very well that it is time for blood to return blood.

"Listen to me. When the enemy had reached 200 meters, we opened fire. ”

Because of the long-term war veterans killed in a large number of battles, the lack of ammunition has greatly reduced the training and shooting accuracy of the recruits compared with previous years, and the average soldier of the current Ishbal rebels can hit a shot from 100 meters away, and it is a waste of ammunition to exceed 200 meters.

"Don't worry, according to our experience in other places, the Amestories Army will attack after entering the five hundred meters, and everyone will have to ...... then."

"Repair-repair-repair-"

But before the older rebels could finish their mission, the shells whistling on the hill came again.

"Boom!"

Before he could finish the word 'avoid', the shells fell, and the dense shells again fell on the rebel positions in Ishbar. Shattered the Ishbals who had gathered in positions unprepared.

In the past, the artillery bombardment of the Amsteres army was very regular, and after the shelling was over, where was there a group like these guys who had to rush up after a while and then the infantry would rush up and then fight again?

While the Ishbals on the edge of the city were being reaped by shells, the army of Amestores, which was at the forefront, was still moving in an orderly manner towards the enemy's position and forming a battle formation.

…………………………

"Good! This shelling worked well! The idiot Ishbal people really fell for it~"

Standing in the headquarters, Estes was in a good mood when he looked out at the area covered by artillery fire in front of him, and he was very satisfied with the effect of the shelling.

"Commander, don't you need a telescope?"

Black Lily held a high-powered telescope and handed it to Estes, as if Estes had never used a telescope in his memory.

"No, no, no~ That's it, I see it clearly."

For so many years, Estes couldn't understand why other commanders liked to look at the battlefield with a telescope so much, what was so good about that thing?

At this time, the battlefield in front of him was only 2 kilometers away, and the trajectory of the falling shells, the painful expression of the enemy, and the fragmented corpses of the enemy on the position Estes could see very clearly.

So she didn't understand the role of the telescope.

"Where can I use a telescope at a distance of only two kilometers? ~Wouldn't it be nice to see it with your own eyes? ”

Then, ignoring the telescope handed over by Black Lily, he ordered to the artillery unit behind him

"Artillery fire began to extend into the depth of the enemy! The infantry brothers are going up to harvest corn! ”

……………………

"Boom! Boom! ”

Shells fell on the city, and in the sudden shelling just now, the Ishbal rebels were again killed and wounded in a fierce artillery fire.

Stunned by the sudden shelling, he had to hide under the broken rock and pray to the gods to protect him before the shelling stopped.

"Da Da !!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

But unexpectedly, the shelling of Amestorius was not over, and the sound of enemy rifles and machine guns was already sounding at the front.

"What's going on?! Why is this happening?! ”

Hearing the sound of firing less than fifty meters from him, the remnants of Ishbal crawled out of the rubble and into position, most of them had not yet recovered from the roar of artillery fire and had just rushed to their positions

"Jingle bells."

One by one, grenades fell from the sky and fell into the fortifications, setting off bursts of explosions and air waves, flying shrapnel wounded and killed the Ishbals who had just rushed into the fortifications, and the explosion of dozens or hundreds of grenades together was not as powerful as the artillery bombardment, but it was very impressive. The Ishbal rebels, who had just entered the fortifications, were beaten by this wave of attacks, and were helpless, and a large number of them were killed and wounded.

Less than half a minute later, the snowwolf-like Amestories marched through the ruins and defensive lines and broke into the heart of the rebel position.

"Kill! For the sake of the gods of Ishbal! ”

Despite the heavy casualties, the Ishbals did not give up, believing that the gods could redeem them in the end. So he picked up his rifle and struck Amistolis.

"Da Da!!"

But the first to storm the positions were heavily armed with automatic semi-automatic rifles, with ten men in each standard infantry squad carrying semi-automatic rifles, plus a submachine gunner or a sniper, and a general-purpose machine gun.

The submachine gunners, who had just rushed through the position, quickly looked for a target and fired at the target, and the riflemen took cover in groups of three and took cover with each other, firing ten rounds from the magazines towards the Ishbals.

The accuracy and suppressive power of the ten-round, one-magazine semi-automatic rifle was very good, and the three of them formed a firepower network to take out all the Ishubars who wanted to rush over desperately. Those that were not dried were also suppressed by the dense bullets behind the ruins, and they could not be moved.

Before the Ishbals, who had been completely suppressed in a blink of an eye, could come up with a countermeasure, the machine guns of the squad of the Amestories army who had been killed on the position began to wield.

More and more Armesstorius troops rushed through the defensive line.

The Ishbaals, who had arrived from the rear, tried to hold the line, but the army of Amestories moved too fast.

Like a tidal wave of a breaching embankment, they rushed through the line of defense, quickly occupied the line for cover and enemy fire, opened fire with semi-automatic rifles, and then spoke with machine guns, and in a short time the line was occupied by the army of Amerstolis.

The Ishbals, who had been swept down a large area, knew that they would not be able to do anything for a while, so they stopped the counterattack and began to hold their positions, but then the power of the two heavy machine guns that belonged to them was also set up, and it was very difficult for them to even hold on.

"Tutu Tutu Tutu Tu Tu !!"

Fierce large-caliber machine guns rain bullets at enemies, powerful bullets that pierce through the walls of the ruins with powerful kinetic energy and fire into the bodies of enemies.

While the machine gun fire and the white automatic rifle fire were firing wildly, the snipers on the position also found the sniper point and began to name the enemy.

In just a few minutes, the army of Amestories established a solid defensive system on the positions of the former Ishbals, and established fire support points.

This was followed by the mortar squad setting up three mortars and starting to fire shells at the enemy behind the ruins.

The Ishbars, who were hiding behind the ruins, were completely stunned by the armies of Amestories, who had fought in one go. In less than ten minutes, the first line of defense in the city was completely torn apart, and soon they were beaten by the fire of the Amestories army, and even the second line of defense could not be defended.

The Ishbals, hiding in the bombed rubble, had no choice but to retreat or be wiped out.

But the retreat was also difficult. Under the heavy fire of the Amerstorius army, the risk of retreat was as great as the attack, and as soon as they showed their heads, they would be hit by bullets.

The first firing of the mortar was very inaccurate, but the second and third began to quickly reap the lives of the rebels lying behind the rubble.

At the same time that the Ishbal rebels on the front were suppressed, several infantry squads on both flanks began to quickly detour the enemy flank. On the flanks of the Ishbals, who were suppressed and unable to move, new firing points were once again constructed, and the troops in front of them combined to form crossfire, which made the harvest more effective.

In the end, knowing that they had been detoured and had no way out, the Ishbals had launched a decisive charge, but how could flesh and blood resist steel?

Bullets from all directions sparked a sieve for each Ishbal who charged at them, turning them into flesh-and-blood corpses.

In less than half an hour, the first line of defense in the city, carefully constructed by the Ishbals, was broken through by Estes's troops, and none of the hundreds of Ishbal rebels around the line escaped alive.

They were either killed by shells or bullet grenades.

Too strong, Estes trained troops.

These units have been trained in urban combat since two years ago. made a big fuss at the central government, and played the gendarmerie regiment and the city garrison force in a daze.

In Ishbar, their commander had dragged them here for adaptation training half a year earlier, and told them the information they had gathered to conduct combat training specifically for the people and the characteristics of the city.

From the beginning of the sweep outside the city, the Chasseurs knew how to deal with the Ishbals.

Destroy the enemy with tight organization and absolutely powerful firepower, and suppress the enemy with fierce and absolutely powerful firepower. Maintain close coordination with radio and artillery units and friendly and neighboring units. Destroy as many buildings as possible in the city, raze buildings.

Hit a tall building, blow up!

Touched the house, fried!

Hit the bunker and blow it up!

Touched the fortifications, fried!

Transform the city from literally to rubble and ruins. It has become a positional battlefield with a wide field of vision and is suitable for giving full play to the advantages of firepower and organization.

There is strong and excellent artillery cover and support, and heavy fire support on call. Precision long-range artillery strikes.

Makes crushing in urban warfare possible.

There were too many artillery and heavy weapons in Amestolis, and it was too easy to destroy the brick Ishubar buildings.

The task is annihilation, so what else is there to say?

Blow up the building when you see it!

The city to be destroyed anyway.

As the side that has absolute firepower superiority, it is the best and easiest way to use the complete firepower advantage to level the one in front of you. And this time Estes intends to do just that.

"This is Sniper Number Three, and there is a building intact at coordinates on the Twentieth requesting shelling."

"Xiu-! Bang! ”

Destroy buildings that the enemy might be hiding and destroy them at all, without the need for infantry reconnaissance to see one and destroy the other.

Give full play to the absolute superiority of firepower and completely raze the area under the responsibility of the troops.

"Boom!" "Run! The house is going to collapse! ”

Sure enough, a few shells fell and hit the houses, and the Ishbal rebels hiding inside the houses began to hug the village of Rats, these Amesstolis's fighting style was so ruthless that it almost felt like they were going to wipe the city out.

"Dada-da-da!!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The fleeing rebels were sifted into a sieve by the long-awaited machine-gun and rifle fire around them. Not one escaped.

"There's a hole in the ground, let's throw two grenades."

Seeing that the building did not fall, the individual soldier threw grenades inside, and the machine gun fired a circle inside, and then if there was a mortar, let the artillery blow it up, and if it was too big, directly call the rear artillery to completely destroy the building.

The buildings in the city of Ishbal are not reinforced concrete, and it is really not difficult to blow up.

In order to fight this urban war, Estes had each squad carry a large amount of high explosives. It's to destroy everything you see in front of you.

"This building hasn't fallen yet! The high explosives are coming! We raze it! ”

Raze a qiē in front of you and turn the city into a plain and a desert.

In this way, the rats in the city will have nowhere to hide, and they will eventually be squeezed into a corner and burned to death.

That's Estes' plan.

Complete annihilation.

Not just the people of the city, but the city, the whole city of Ishbal.

Use absolute force to wipe the city of Ishbal from the face of the earth.
