Chapter 353: Meat Grinder

Using a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to describe the battlefield of Lillen City is a little inadequate in terms of tragedy.

After the Han and Tang Imperial Air Force took control of the absolute air supremacy over the city of Lillon, the Golden Lion army still fought with the Han and Tang armies for every position in the city of Lillen regardless of casualties, even a house that had been turned into ruins, and the two armies had to fight repeatedly.

However, because of the super firepower of the Han and Tang Empire Air Force, in the end, the urban area of Lillen City was still conquered by the Han and Tang Dynasty troops.

However, this did not herald the end of the battle, and the Golden Lion Empire mobilized army after army units to launch a counteroffensive against the city of Rillen.

Later, even the army units of the other countries of the Nine Powers Military Alliance joined the counteroffensive against the city of Lillen.

"Platoon leader, the lion cubs are up again!" A soldier lay in a trench and reported to Lin Hai, the platoon commander in the bomb shelter, on a walkie-talkie.

Lin Hai, who had been in the thermal power plant for 2 years, was called back to the 107th Group Army of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires this time, and participated in a series of major battles in the Black Bear Empire and the Golden Lion Empire.

Lin Hai, who was snoring, heard the warning of the vigilant soldiers, and instantly came to his senses, "Quick! Get up all and get into position! ”

After Lin Hai entered the trench, he found that the officers and soldiers in the other air-raid shelter in his platoon had also entered the trench.

The Golden Lion Army, which had launched an attack in the distance, was attacked by missiles and rockets before it could get closer, but there were still surviving Leon soldiers who rushed towards Lin Hai's position.

Lin Hai was in an infantry battalion, guarding a position outside the city of Lillen, to the east.

After capturing all the urban areas of Lillen, the Han and Tang armies built multiple positions on the periphery of the city to resist the counterattack of the Golden Lion army.

Lin Hai's platoon is the current standard infantry platoon of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, and the platoon headquarters is composed of 1 platoon commander, 1 deputy platoon commander, 2 communicators and 4 non-commissioned officers, and the 4 non-commissioned officers are divided into 2 machine gun groups.

The machine gun team is equipped with an American M249 light machine gun, an American M16 automatic rifle, an M203 grenade launcher, and the platoon commander, deputy platoon commander, and communications are also equipped with American M16 automatic rifles, and each officer and soldier is also equipped with an American M9 pistol.

At present, the light weapons equipped by the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires are basically the light weapons of the American army in another time and space, all of which were opened by Zhou Rui from the lottery system.

Of course, now the arsenals of the Han and Tang Empires can already carry out large-scale production of these light weapons.

Non-commissioned officers are generally selected from soldiers who have completed their term of service, which is equivalent to becoming volunteers.

The non-commissioned officer ranks in the Han and Tang Empires consisted of 6 ranks, from lowest to highest, they were corporal, sergeant, sergeant, third-class sergeant, second-class sergeant, and first-class sergeant.

The salary and allowance of the sergeant are already about the same as that of the lieutenant platoon commander, and the salary and allowance of the sergeant major of the first class can be on par with the lieutenant colonel and the regiment commander.

Although Lin Haicheng is only a second lieutenant platoon commander, even if the war is over? He also has a good chance of remaining in the army.

Even after the end of the war? Lin Hai is discharged from the army again, and he is back in place? Also the level of cadres? Will not return to the thermal power plant as an ordinary worker.

The infantry platoon consists of 3 infantry squads and 1 fire squad, each of which is composed of 1 squad leader, 1 deputy squad leader, 2 non-commissioned officers and 8 ordinary soldiers.

2 machine gun squads and 2 snipers under each infantry squad? Other officers and soldiers are armed with American M16 automatic rifles, and snipers are equipped with American M40A5 sniper rifles.

There are 4 fire teams under the fire team? 2 of the fire teams each carried two American M249 light machine guns? The other two groups each carried two sets of individual missile launchers for anti-armor and sabotage fortifications.

The officers and men of the infantry squad and the fire squad, like the officers and men of the platoon headquarters, were each armed with an American M9 pistol.

Lin Hai's infantry battalion? Have you been here for two days and one night? Previously, they had repelled a total of sixteen attacks by the Golden Lion.

In the end, with the fire support of the air force, artillery and missile units, Lin Hai and the others finally repelled the seventeenth attack of the Golden Lion Army.

However, in this attack, the Red Tiger Army and the Black Bear Army were also involved, so it would be more accurate to say that the seventeenth attack of the Nine-Nation Alliance was repulsed.

Back to the bomb shelter? Deputy platoon commander Xu Hu sighed and said: "Two more brothers have been killed, and another two brothers have been seriously injured?" He has been taken to a field hospital.

Now there are 7 people left in Class 1 and 5 people left in Class 2? The 3rd shift suffered the most losses, with only 3 people left.

There are 6 people left in the fire class? The 4 non-commissioned officers in the platoon have already gone down to the squads? So count you and me? There is also the correspondent Xiao Zhao, there are only 24 fighters left in our platoon now. ”

When Lin Hai heard that there was originally a 56-man infantry platoon, only 24 people were left to continue fighting, and he couldn't help but say with a gloomy face: "This should be the worst fight in our platoon since I became the platoon commander."

Before attacking the Golden Lion Empire's Cagadia City, in such a tragic battle, the casualties of our platoon added up to only 25 people. ”

Cagadia City is a city connected to Rillen City through a two-way space-time node, and it belongs to a relatively large city on the Western Continent of the Golden Lion Empire.

In order to conquer the city of Cagadeya, the Han and Tang armies eventually paid more than 150,000 casualties.

Xu Hu, the deputy platoon commander, hesitated for a moment and said, "Platoon commander, do you want to ask the company or the battalion for reinforcements."

After the loss of 4 brothers, the defensive pressure of our platoon will increase a lot. ”

Lin Hai thought about it for a while and said: "The situation of our platoon is not bad, I heard that some platoons have less than 10 people left.

According to the order, we only need to defend for 48 hours, which means that if we hold out for one more night, other troops will come to change our defense.

We still have 24 brothers left in our platoon, and it should be no problem to keep it for one night. ”

As soon as Lin Hai's voice fell, the correspondent Zhao Haizhou shouted to Lin Hai: "Platoon commander, company commander's phone." ”

Lin Hai took the walkie-talkie handed over by Zhao Haizhou, "Company commander, I'm Lin Hai." ”

"Platoon Commander Lin, I just received a new order from my superiors, let us continue to guard the position here and cancel the previous order to hold on for 48 hours."

When Lin Hai heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Company commander, our platoon has suffered a lot of losses, and now there are only 24 fighters left. ”

"Personnel will be drawn from several garrison divisions to replenish the front-line troops of our 107th Army, and soon there will be replenishment personnel with supplies and ammunition into the positions of your platoon.

Remember, it is necessary to disperse the additional personnel into various squads, so that the soldiers who have been supplemented can adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as possible. ”

"Company commander, how long do we have to stay?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I can see above that after each change of defense, it takes a while for the troops to adapt to the battlefield environment.

So in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, we may have to hold out for a long time.

You must do a good job in the ideological work of the officers and men, and do not drop the chain at the critical moment. ”

"Company commander, rest assured, none of the brothers are bad seeds, and they will never discredit us!"

Because the establishment of the garrison division of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires is the same as that of the infantry division under the jurisdiction of the group army, the 2 infantry squads and 1 firepower squad supplemented to Lin Hai this time are subordinate to the garrison division, but the establishment and weaponry are the same as the infantry squad and firepower squad under Lin Hai.

To Lin Hai's surprise, the leader of the firepower squad who came up was his old acquaintance, a colleague from the thermal power plant - Cao Zhenjie.

"Brother Jie, I didn't expect you to support me!" Lin Hai said excitedly to Cao Zhenjie.

Cao Zhenjie saw the rank of second lieutenant on Lin Hai's collar badge, and said with a smile: "Lin Zi, it's good!" was actually promoted to second lieutenant and became a platoon commander, you can fight for the face of our brothers in the thermal power plant.

Hehe, but I'm not bad brother, the promotion report I applied for in the regiment has been handed in, and my brother is about to be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant! ”

Cao Zhenjie's garrison division has been fighting in Lillen for a long time, and has even replenished its strength several times, and Cao Zhenjie has also been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant because of his military exploits, waiting for the approval of the division headquarters of the garrison division.

"Hehe, I knew that Brother Jie would do it.

Brother Jie, it just so happens that the leader of our platoon's firepower squad was seriously injured, so you will temporarily serve as the squad leader of our platoon firepower squad! ”

Outside the city of Lillen, in a field hospital of the Golden Lion Army, Prott was lying on the hospital bed, although the wound on his body was very painful, Prot still felt very lucky.

Prott's infantry company, after an attack, was the only one left to survive, and Prott's body was also hit by two pieces of shrapnel, one shrapnel hit Prott's left shoulder, and one shrapnel hit Prott's right leg.

At this time, after surgery, the two pieces of shrapnel on Prott's body have been removed, but it is impossible for Prott to go to the battlefield again in a short time.

At this time, a leon soldier on crutches walked over, "Prott, what's wrong?"

You're lucky, if the shrapnel on your thigh is a little more off, you can enter the palace as a chamberlain. ”

The royal family of the Golden Lion Empire, in order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, the chamberlain who enters the palace must be purified.

The lion soldier was Sadek, a friend of Prott's college dormitory, and all six of them were drafted into the army and incorporated into an infantry regiment.

However, at this time, the other 4 classmates in the dormitory had all died in battle, and only Prott and Sadek were left alive in the entire dormitory.

Prott said a little weakly: "I have a big life this time, I picked up a life, we even had more than 150 people, and this time I survived by myself." ”

Sadek couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said: "It's really a terrible fight, I heard that our Golden Lion Army has lost tens of millions of people in Lillen City.

Now that the army units of the other 8 allies have also joined the battlefield in the city of Lillon, it is unknown how many people will die here in the city of Lillen. ”

Prott smiled wryly and said, "I hope this damn war will end before my injuries are healed, I really don't want to experience that kind of despair again."

Countless missiles, shells, and rockets explode around you, and your comrades' severed arms are blown up all over the sky, and you can be one of those severed arms at any time. ”

Sadek suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Prott, we will be transferred to the hospital in the rear immediately, remember, don't let yourself get hurt, okay so quickly."

If we have to do everything possible to stay in the hospital, after losing air supremacy, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers in our army who can survive when they go to the battlefield. ”

"But isn't it up to the doctor to determine when we're discharged?

How can you not let yourself get hurt, okay so quickly? ”

"That's why you have to do everything you can, I believe that as long as you give enough silver coins, the doctor will not let you out of the hospital."

"Oh, thank you, Sadek, I know what to do."

"Alasβ€”we're left in our dorm room now, and I hope we both survive until the war is over."

In the palace of Norya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno asked Prime Minister Salento in a deep voice: "What happened to the city of Lillen?"

Is there any good news for last night's counteroffensive? ”

Prime Minister Salento said with a wry smile: "Last night, several large-scale counteroffensives did not make much progress, but the troops of all countries involved in the offensive suffered very large losses.

The army of the Nature Elf Empire lost more than 100,000 people last night. ”

Emperor Kosno sighed, "Now even the armies of those three elven nations are willing to fight hard in Lillen City.

It's a pity that the air force of the Han and Tang Empires firmly controls air supremacy, and the coalition forces of our nine countries don't know how much they will have to pay if they want to recapture the city of Lillon.

Now how many troops has our Royal Army of the Golden Lion Empire lost in the city of Lillen? ”

"Your Majesty, it has almost reached 10 million, and the battlefield here in Lillen City can be described as a meat grinder.

However, the Royal Army still has about 35 million troops around the city of Lillen.

The army units of the other 8 allies add up to almost 20 million around the city of Lillon, and the troops for the counterattack on the city of Lilren are very sufficient.

It's just that because there is no air supremacy, it is very difficult to counterattack. ”

Emperor Kosno's tone suddenly became very resolute, "No matter how difficult it is, you must fight!"

If we don't take back Lilon City and drive the Han and Tang armies out of the Spirit Clan, the consequences will be unbearable for our Golden Lion Empire, and even the entire Nine Nations Military Alliance!

By the way, what's going on in the war on the New World side lately? ”

Prime Minister Salento hesitated and said: "The situation is very bad.

Due to the fact that the city of Lillen has involved too much energy of our Golden Lion Empire, many cities have fallen in the past 3 months on the New World side.

Now about 9 million square kilometers of the territory of our Golden Lion Empire in the New World have been captured by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, that is to say, our Golden Lion Empire has lost almost half of its territory in the New World. ”

Emperor Kosno said helplessly: "The New World side will stick to it as much as possible, but the strategic focus will still be on Lillen City. ”
