Heavy breathing, trance-like vision, shouting and killing in my ears were imminent, my hands were wet and sticky, and I couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood. Because of the stain of blood, the bayonet on the gun no longer glittered, but it looked particularly hideous.

In this trench leading to the right flank defense area, the temporary assault company of the Basston Student Regiment, which had just experienced a fierce battle, was replaced by friendly troops to rest for a while. The battle was so tragic that of the 198 officers and men assembled and set off, only 63 were left at this time. Everyone ran out of spinach ammunition, and there were not many bullets left, relying on bayonets alone, all kinds of tactical cooperation could not be played, and they completely relied on their will to persist in fighting.

The soldiers of the Federation Army are completely fighting for their lives at this time. Because the Norman army, which chose the right flank of the defense line to attack, broke through the defenders' third-line positions with a tidal offensive at the cost of casualties, and broke through the federal border defense line from the back, and to the north was the Wessex border defense line jointly defended by the Union Army and the Wessex Army, which was stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the 2nd Norman Fighting Group in the north. The blade against the back made this line of defense as dangerous as a tired egg, and made the situation in the north take a sharp turn!

At this point, the command of the defensive line had no choice but to draw combat forces from the central and left flank defense areas, organize a number of assault battalions and assault companies, and launch wave after wave of counterattacks against the Norman troops who had captured the right flank defense area.

For hundreds of years, Norman armies have been known for their offensive prowess, with no impregnable fortress in front of them, countless classic examples of victorious attacks, and lackluster defensive skills. In this war, whether in North Fries or Wessex, the Normans showed their traditional strengths to the fullest, but it would be a mistake to conclude that they were not good at defending. The Norman army, which carried out large-scale space operations in the territory of the Union, thwarted the attack organized by the Federation Army at the first time with an unbreakable field defense, and the First World War established the prestige of the Royal 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire.

The Norman K-type bolt-action rifle uses a 3PIR caliber, and its range and power are comparable to the Grumman M3.2 of the Federal Army, and its advantages are high accuracy and fast rate of fire. In this kind of offensive and defensive warfare around trenches, the range of firearms is undoubtedly the most influential factor.

Weiss discovered that the Norman soldiers were not only adept at using the K-rifles, but also used heavily reinforced semi-automatic pistols—with barrels three or four times larger than regular pistols, and with specially made long magazines, which were quite dense and sustained in close combat. In Weiss's opinion, aren't these small submachine guns in burst-fire mode!

Semi-automatic pistols are on the low side of the power of Gorilla-like Union soldiers, and it is not uncommon for them to survive two or three bullets, but Norman soldiers are not alone, and their concentrated fire attacks make it difficult for Federans with bayonets to get close. The assault company led by Weiss threw a wave of thunder before it was able to rush to the close range of the Normans, and recaptured a section of the trench with a bayonet. Of course, the price is quite significant.

What is the significance of the dignified First Army Academy of the Federation, the quasi-officers who have been painstakingly cultivated by one in a hundred, have fallen like summer flowers on this flesh-and-blood battlefield? This is a question that weiss is very entangled. From an economic point of view, the Bathton Student Corps is the most valuable of the defending troops of the defensive line, and should not be consumed endlessly in this brutal hand-to-hand combat in the position, and the battle orders from the command of the defensive line also hint at it, but from the perspective of sharpening their will and forging character, this is a rare opportunity for the Bathton cadets to grow rapidly and even achieve sublimation. As the so-called big waves sweep the sand, being able to survive such a battle can be regarded as the elite of the elite and the talent of the talent.

The road to a famous general is destined to be extraordinary!

The repeated vicious battles on the ground battlefield make Weiss almost have time to pay attention to the progress of air combat, but in the three-dimensional war mode, whoever can master air supremacy can get a high multiplier of the ground battle. In fact, the Norman cruisers dropped "devil's bombs" one after another, and the Federation warships tried their best to evade them, and the two sides went back and forth without giving in to each other. This struggle is definitely not large-scale, but it is extremely fierce and protracted. At the beginning of the battle, the Federation fleet was able to divide two cruisers to support the ground forces, and as the battle deepened, the warships on both sides continued to be damaged and damaged, so they each went all out, and no one had time to care about their ground companions until the victory was decided......

"Batton Assault Company! Baston Assault Company! ”

The herald's shout brought Weiss's thoughts back to reality, and he hurriedly responded, "We're here!" ”

The herald, who was covered in mud with a satchel on his back, staggered to Weiss: "The assault battalion of the 139th Division cannot be attacked, the assault battalion of the 84th Division has been put into battle, General Lusen ordered you to rush forward closely with the assault battalion of the 84th Division, this time, you must take the E14 firepower point no matter what." ”

The E14 fire point referred to by the herald was a tactical support point for the Union Army in the right flank defense zone, with concrete fortifications for the deployment of rapid-fire guns. Previously, the defenders had destroyed the weapons and equipment that had not been transferred in time during the retreat, but there were too few explosives to completely destroy the fortifications, and now it became a point of fire for the Norman army to consolidate the battle line. Weiss squinted and frowned, "The Normans have already brought their rapid-fire cannons!" ”

The herald nodded: "The situation is really bad, I heard that the assault battalion of the 139th Division attacked desperately, and in the end only a few dozen people withdrew. Sir, I can only wish you the best of luck! ”

yes, what else can you say but good luck?

"Ready to fight......" Weiss raised his hand and took a deep breath.

More than half of the remaining 63 officers and men of the assault company were all in the spotlight, and not a single one was afraid of battle at this moment. They all stood up and responded in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!" ”

Seeing that all the friendly troops engaged in the attack had gone up, Weiss waved his hand and led the soldiers to trot forward. They soon passed through the positions where they had fought the enemy, and continued to meet the Normans' bullets. In sight, a group of Union soldiers fell under the dense fire of the Normans, and the group behind them resolutely rushed into the trench full of corpses at the sound of elite whistles.

As they stepped into the puddles of blood, the scarlet liquid splashed was terrifying.

Knock knock......

This coherent and crisp sound of gunfire came from the rapid-fire guns set up at the E14 firing point. The two armies are at war, all kinds of weapons and equipment compete on the battlefield, the two sides come and go, attack and defend each other, weapons and equipment are more or less obtained by the other side, and there is no secret to speak of. The Norman rapid-fire guns, the caliber of which was the same as their standard rifles, and the ammunition was universal, was very different from the Confederate rapid-fire guns: they looked like traditional field guns, except that the muzzles were replaced by a ring of muzzles, several barrels wrapped around a metal cylinder, fed by an erected disc-shaped cartridge, also hand-driven, but at least twice as fast as the Union rapid-fire guns.

The Union soldiers in front were dead and wounded, and the Baston Assault Company was soon at the front. If some spinball bullets can also interfere with the enemy's shooting with the smoke and dust generated by the explosion, so that they can rush forward without any cover, and the remaining few men and horses will not be able to withstand the Norman rapid-fire cannon fire for ten seconds. It's definitely not going to work like this, we have to find a way...... Weiss gritted his teeth, wishing that his eyes would burst into flames and burn those hateful Normans alive on the battlefield!

Imagination is imagination, but reality is so cruel and ruthless. Comparing the identification data of the soldiers on both sides, the Norman soldiers not only did not have obvious weaknesses in their individual combat strength, but also had a great advantage in biological function and mental vitality, and they kept firing and shooting the helpless Union soldiers in the trenches, just as the Union soldiers did in the morning defensive battle.

Just as despair struck like a tsunami, Weiss heard a strange whistling sound in the air. He jerked his head and saw a white fuselage and gray-skinned biplane flying low over it, with its front and rear seats, and the pilot in the back seat threw a bomb without a tail, most likely an explosive converted directly from a cannonball, into the Normans' trenches.

There was a loud bang, like thunder in a long dry land in Weiss's ears.

Six biplanes with a simple appearance and not fast speed, just like the six divine generals sent by the Heavenly Court, ran rampant in the sky over the battlefield and slaughtered in all directions. They flew over the Normans' heads over their heads over their heads, dropping bombs that knocked the Norman soldiers in the trenches on their backs. Suddenly receiving such a blow, the Normans were a little caught off guard, and the soldiers hurriedly raised their guns to shoot at the air, and several rapid-fire guns also raised their muzzles, such anti-aircraft fire sounded fierce, but in fact had no effect. Six Federal planes with improvised logos on their fuselages and wings repeatedly flew in and out over the battlefield, calmly dropping more than 20 bombs, killing and injuring many Normans, and the psychological deterrent effect and tactical impact of such attacks far exceeded the actual damage of the bombs.

Taking advantage of the deflection of the Normans' attention, the Union soldiers rushed into the trenches where the Norman soldiers were stationed. Although in hand-to-hand combat, the Union soldiers of each garrison division and reserve division were inferior to these fierce Norman soldiers in front of them in terms of individual combat strength and teamwork, with the burst of morale and decisive counterattack on all fronts, the Federation Army swept the battlefield with the momentum of a hurricane. The victory and defeat had a great impact, and the Norman soldiers showed unusual tenacity, stubbornly resisting the counterattack of the Union army with the mentality of fighting for every inch of land, and some troops even died on the ground. In this desperate battle in which the brave won the narrow road, the Federation army fighting at home still had the upper hand after all, and they divided the Norman troops who attacked the federal defense area and annihilated them one by one......

As dusk approached, the ground battle finally came to an end. At this time, the assault company led by Weiss had less than 20 combatable soldiers. Although the Union Army had paid far more casualties than its opponents that afternoon, the reversal of the battle showed him a positive side to this terrible war: as a last resort, the Union military stopped clinging to the idea of giant ships and cannons, and began to accept new things such as airplanes and put them into battle.

If you are poor, you will think about change, and only then will there be new hope......
