Jiang Jie quickly mobilized the 121 rocket artillery to rush to the frontline position, and after a quarter of an hour, he carried out a salvo of fire on the target fire group, and left after the fight.

But without waiting for the continuous explosion and large-scale explosion, it was obvious that the rocket artillery either missed or did not have enough range, but it was quickly returned by enemy fire, but at this time the 121 rocket artillery had already slipped away.

Due to the failure of the frontal attack, the battle to attack the Black Crow Forest lost the meaning of continuing the operation, and around three o'clock in the second half of the night, the armpit infantry attacking the Black Crow Forest quickly retreated under the cover of their own fire, which was the first time that Bailiyan saw that the retreat contraction fire cover was used on the battlefield.

While your side is retreating, the fire attack has been extended to contracted, and this infantry and artillery coordination tactic is implemented at night.

Bailiyan could not imagine how much tactical precision and observation it would take, and at least until the mid-sixties, humans would not have been able to implement this real-time artillery support technology, because communications were not developed and artillery could not know what was going on with the infantry in front.

However, the axillary people have communicators, and their wireless communication distance is at least more than 30 miles, and with the increase of age, this communication distance will increase, and the radius covering dozens of miles is completely sufficient.

It really doesn't work, it can be relayed by manpower to transmit information, which is also faster than humans running with their feet, and in a sense, armpit communication is more convenient than the current telephone.

The battle was nearing its end until dawn, and only light and medium-caliber artillery were still sporadically shelling the mountain artillery heavy machine gun positions of the Black Crow Forest, but the positions had long since been shifted and the shelling was ineffective.

After dawn, Bailiyan rushed to the Black Crow Forest to learn about last night's battle, and the casualties in the first battle of the first battle were shocking, which surprised him all his life.

"Our army lost two hundred and seventy-two dead last night, five hundred and fifty-four were lightly and seriously wounded, and another fifty-one went insane. Yuke suffered 367 casualties and 797 minor and serious wounds, the Liang army suffered 439 casualties and 489 minor and serious casualties, nearly 3,000 casualties among the three armies, and 19 others were missing. ”

When Mo Yunfeng elaborated, Bai Liyan was extremely shocked, and he said:

"Is there a count of axillary casualties?"

"Three hundred and ninety-one bodies were left on the positions of our army, and seventy-two people were captured. Within the reach of the north of our army's position, there are less than 300 corpses according to a rough count, but the casualties in the armpit position are not yet known. ”

"How were all our soldiers wounded?"

"One-third of the dead died from the Overlord cannon, and the rest were mostly shell fragments and white-knuckle combat, and less than 10% were injured by bullets."

Lao Yalin only found about 800 armpit corpses, 72 prisoners, Xianliang Yuke killed 1,078 people, this does not include the follow-up serious injuries and deaths, in the middle of the night to defeat a regiment, according to this consumption of blood to fight, the old book will be fought out sooner or later.

What annoys Bai Liyan even more is that the conscienceless artillery equipped by the Xian army in the early days has been relegated to the second line, and now more 80 millimeter mortars are used instead of conscienceless guns, but the fragmentation of mortars is easy to be blocked by bunkers, and the concussive shock wave of conscienceless guns, even if it is separated by reinforced concrete, is also killed.

While thinking about it, the telephone in the command post continued, and a signal soldier got up and turned back and said:

"Si Nong, General Zhao's phone."

Bai Liyan stepped forward to take the phone and said to Zhao Huan:

"It's me Bailiyan, how about the frontal casualties of our army?"

"The coalition forces have lost three hundred and seventy-nine dead, nine hundred and fifty-eight lightly and seriously wounded, all of whom have been wounded by artillery, the trenches have been changed beyond recognition, and the soldiers are digging again."

"Hurry up, pay attention to concealment, the armpit may fight back at any time."

When he hung up Zhao Huan's phone, Mo Yunfeng said:

"The armpit heavy artillery is very good, and our army has no way to deal with them, and our army should also manufacture such heavy artillery as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely suffer a big loss in the long run."

"Yes, Yongxing City is working day and night on more advanced artillery, but there is still no means of suppression. Tell the soldiers that they should dig more bags of dirt and put artillery holes, build bunkers to avoid shelling, and not jump out of the trenches without orders. ”

"No!"

The caliber of the axillary howitzer is at least 153 millimeters or more, the charge of the projectile is very large, the firing range is 26 to 30 miles, and the projectile has fully used ammonium nitrate explosives, and the power is very amazing. At the moment when caliber is king and range is the truth, it really makes Bailiyan feel passive.

After inspecting the Black Crow Forest, Bailiyan hurried non-stop to the frontal position that had been heavily shelled last night.

The first trench and its body, as Zhao Huan said, have been unrecognizable, more than seventy percent of the dead and wounded are shock and explosion injuries, and three percent are large-caliber artillery fragment injuries, and the Xian army is equipped with helmets and manganese collar alloys, and composite golden silkworm silk body armor, which has a good defense effect against fragmentation damage, but still cannot parry the shock and explosion injuries of the unconscionable cannon.

There was a deathly silence all morning, and Bai Liyan judged that the armpit casualties in last night's artillery battle should be not small, so that he changed opponents, and he had not eased his strength under the heavy blow.

At noon, Bai Liyan held a meeting of the military headquarters at the Liang County Headquarters to sum up yesterday's operations and decided to dig foxholes and partition trenches in each line of defense to disperse the density of troops and reduce the number of casualties caused by the shelling.

At the same time, snipers are transferred, steel core bullets and degenerate bullets are distributed, and dwarves and communicators are prioritized, and cold guns are used during the day and withdrawn at night.

Dwarves and Communicators have a much lower birth rate and a longer growth cycle, and if they are killed, they can be replenished, but the value of the loss is much greater.

By killing its commanders and signal corps, it can deal a great blow to its command and communication systems, causing them to fall into fear, panic, and confusion.

On the afternoon of the day when Bailiyan dispatched troops to adjust their tactics, the enemy north of Liangxian County, after clarifying the situation, through the continuous relay of messengers, fed back the battle situation to the north of Vortex Niutan, the flagship of the armpit fleet, an ironclad canned ship, was in charge of this attack was none other than Marshal Oka.

Yesterday morning's rocket artillery attack and the night's raid left the 2nd and 3rd Front of the Alchez Alliance 1,429 killed, 1,797 wounded, and 104 missing, a little more killed than the coalition forces, but the total casualties were still much lower than the coalition forces.

But Marshal Oka was greatly dissatisfied with this result:

"It's unbelievable that this strange animal came out of nowhere, so well equipped."

At this time, the Admiral of the Alches Alliance, who was sitting next to him, answered:

"The report says that the Alien Beast Legion that fought against Lieutenant General Cross used very advanced automatic weapons, and they were universally equipped, their artillery was denser, the rate of fire was faster, the ammunition was more powerful, and the outfit was completely different from the previous Alien Beasts.

In my opinion, it must have been the most powerful alien animal east of the peninsula that had moved west to reinforce this place, otherwise it would never have been possible to come up with such a powerful weapon overnight. ”

"Of course I do." Oka affirmed his position, and then said, "The problem now is that the plague doesn't seem to have destroyed them, and their automated weapons are too advanced to be completely incompatible with our technology.

Our scientists have not been able to imitate their gunpowder and explosives so far, and if they continue to fight, they will produce more weapons and ammunition, and we will be drowned by their bullets and explosives. ”

It is not entirely correct to say that armpit people are immortal, to be precise, in the face of cold weapons, the body other than the head is immortal. Once in the hot weapon, although the bullet cannot kill them, the detonation and tearing wound produced by the shell can seriously damage or even kill them, and poison gas and extensive burns can kill them.

Just as Oka was angry, Oka adjutant and a correspondent stepped forward to report:

"Report to Marshal Oka, Lieutenant General Cross sent a message, and from the afternoon onwards, three ensigns, one lieutenant, two captains, one major died from the cold guns of foreign animals, and two more central guards, one captain was seriously wounded, and ......"

Oka was furious, and he asked:

"And what!"

"The bullet that hit us could not be excluded from the body and killed our fighters."

"What!"

Oka was shocked, and Admiral Kusa hurriedly said:

"It can't be!"

But the adjutant said:

"According to Lieutenant General Cross, the alien animal used a special bullet, and they also have another steel ammunition that can penetrate our steel shields and helmets, and the hit rate is very accurate."

"Damn it......" Oka scolded, and then said, "It's a sharpshooter, their weapon must be rifled!" Tell Lieutenant General Cross to suspend all attacks and I will destroy them! ”

"Marshal."

That is, in the past two or three hours, the snipers of the Xian Army used steel-core bullets to kill 59 armpit men, including giant dwarves, and killed and wounded more than 10 dwarven officers and more than 40 giants, which was no less than a small-scale blocking battle. In a fit of rage, Oka decided to use a "devastating" weapon to avenge the arrogance of the Xian army.

In the next few days, Liang County was calm, and he did not launch another attack, and Bailiyan did not plan to make a big move.

He found that after the artillery battle, his own artillery shells were simply not enough, and it was extremely difficult to transport ammunition thousands of miles away, and he could not consume his own artillery shells in a meaningless confrontation.

He needed to wait for all of Yongping's Imperial Guest Liang troops to move and vacate their trucks, and then return to Xianguo to transport ammunition and more artillery before he could let go.

However, on the 21st of August, the situation took a new turn:

"Deputy marshal, the enemy in front of our army seems to be retreating back, will our army catch up?"

Mo Yunfeng said quickly on the phone, Bai Liyan stood on the lookout platform and continued to observe with a high-powered telescope in one hand, while talking to him:

"Unless the enemy in front of you retreats back, the enemy in front of our army is retreating."

"That's because they suffered a big loss a few days ago, and they want to flee today?"

"Not really." Bai Liyan denied, and then said: "The armpit man is extremely vindictive, and he will never be willing to fail, so you will defend yourself and wait for my order." ”

"No!"

Hung up Mo Yunfeng's phone, and the phone rang again, this time it was Jiang Jie's call from the field command post:

"Deputy marshal, it seems that there is a deception in the armpit retreat."

"You can see clearly when you get closer, where do you say there is fraud."

"The last general watched them retreat in an orderly manner and without any confusion, and the armpit men of the rear defense line did not show any signs of retreat, on the contrary, they were preparing for the attack, as if there was a greater operation."

"Shhh...... Preparing the rear line for the attack? So where are they going to attack, not to the beach behind them? ”
