In the Western Regions, the fighting gradually subsided. Both sides are calming down. The Western Regions Coalition will no longer attack. The Triple Alliance is changing its guard in an orderly manner.

The fact that the two sides are so calm is that one side has temporarily exhausted the forces of the offensive. However, the Triple Alliance is because of preparation. Temporarily unable to launch an offensive.

The three countries first solved the problem of command. This war will be completed mainly by the states of Qin and Zhao. Therefore, the position of the main military commander is created in both countries. After numerous telegram discussions. Wang Jian was finally determined as the main commander of the war. Li Mu appeared as the chief of military staff. This is the result of a competition of national strength. It has little to do with the talent of the generals.

Then there's the issue of names. The United Army organized by Qin's intelligence agency to the Western Regions was simply called the Western Regions Coalition Army. On his own side, it is the alliance of Qin, Zhao and Han. Abbreviated as the Triple Alliance. The Western Regions Coalition and the Triple Alliance are easily confused when reporting. To avoid this. At the same time, it also brought the relationship between the three countries closer in name. Qin suggested changing the Triple Alliance Army to the Triple Alliance Army. In this way, there is a distinction between coalition and allied forces.

The attack of the Western Regions Alliance was soon completely crushed by the advanced weapons of the Allies.

First, besiege those support points defended by the Qin army. These support points are very difficult to hit. The firing point is very cleverly set. The uphill slope next to the road, which is less than a few meters high, can be used by the Qin army. And those vantage points became vantage points for artillery firing. And there is an extremely dense traffic trench connection between them. As long as there is a problem in that place. Through these concealed trenches, a quick counterattack can be launched.

The Qin army laid out three lines of defense. Each one is arranged with barbed wire. And the barbed wire fence is also hung with dense mines. These mines were used to the extreme. In particular, anti-infantry mines, converted from wooden-handled grenades, became a nightmare for the coalition forces.

This fused grenade ignites sulfur with friction between copper wire and glass tube. Ideal for infantry mines. Usually. He was tied to a post of barbed wire. And by pulling the rope is tied to some barbed wire. Even more cruel. The Qin army tied a canned box at the location of the exploding head of a wooden-handled grenade. The box was filled with stones. Or the warhead is wrapped in a canned box. And this is equivalent to installing a fragmentation device on a grenade. In fact. This anti-infantry device is staggeringly lethal. Especially within the range of the rifles of the Qin army.

As soon as someone triggers a mine. This led to more deaths and injuries in the vicinity. Especially those stones. Caused a lot of people to fall to the ground and scream loudly. These cries can easily break down the offensive morale of the opponent. And these wounded soldiers who fell to the ground could not be rescued. The coalition had sent men to rescue them. But these people, especially those in the Qin rifle. The effective range of the pistol was about one hundred to one hundred and fifty paces. within this distance. The wounded person becomes a good bait. Those who tried to rescue became live targets. And that's why. The rescue was abandoned. Those baits are constantly a**. Until the last drop of blood is drained at the end. Or to be frozen to death.

This situation has greatly reduced the morale of the coalition forces. And they couldn't break through that damn barbed wire. Mine. Rifle. Machine gun. A network of artillery fire. They could only abandon the attack. Instead, fence it off. Then take a detour. But they were often attacked by the enemy's artillery.

These support points have seriously interfered with the offensive of the coalition forces. Attacks on the front line also often did not go well.

The Allies were all fast-reacting cavalry units. But they are now all infantry. They began to dig trenches and defend them. But the ground simply can't be dug up. They can only use ice or trees for temporary hours. Barbed wire is a large use of serpentine barbed wire. This kind of barbed wire only needs to fix a few points. And. The barbed wire has undergone three innovations. The first is the material. The barbed wire was replaced with steel wire. Or steel mixing. The original wire hook was replaced with a sharp barbed blade. This blade if it is hanged. Then unfortunate. You're going to have a piece of meat scraped off. Many of the coalition soldiers have suffered from this barbed wire. A small piece of flesh scraped off the person's body. Although not life-threatening. But it hurts excitely. This has allowed many coalition forces to focus on avoiding barbed wire. The disadvantage of concentration is that it was strafed by the machine guns of the Qin State. However, the rate of artillery bombardment was somewhat slow. Mainly after the range has increased. The overall line of defense has been expanded. Especially the artillery distance. They were usually two or three miles away from the infantry. Telephone can only reach the command at the regimental level. The artillery could not get the bearing in time. This made the artillerymen depressed.

In addition, the barbed wire fence of the Allied equipment was made in rolls and rolls. The cavalry carried a small scroll of Shangwen, usually twenty paces long. If a team spreads all the time. The defenders have a big advantage.

In addition, there are a large number of anti-personnel mines. The defensive surface is large. The number of people is small. Landmines become a good tool for blockade. The engineering troops of the Qin State laid out a large number of minefields. These minefields serve as a blockade for good looks.

The Coalition once sent a large number of cavalry to outflank the Allies. Blockade areas are often large open spaces. And the cavalry directly hit the minefield. The consequences are: Heavy casualties. This forced the coalition forces to be cautious. I no longer dare to take the flat land at will.

Barbed wire, defensive mines, minefields make it difficult for the opponent to move an inch. The increased range of the team's artillery led to a sharp increase in the number of Allied casualties. They had to retreat. Basically outside the range of the artillery's line of fire.

Even more terrifying is the offense. As long as the "sudden" sound was basically the first attack, it was disintegrated. Because this machine gun can kill the attacking coalition forces like a harvester.

Only two or three machine guns existed. The riflemen were very leisurely aiming and shooting. If it takes a little longer. Artillery will also join the killing hordes.

In a word. The Allied defense was easy. Some of the new infantry took the place of the cavalry. At the same time, a large number of weapons observers came. They want to summarize the use of weapons. Shortcoming. Then make improvements.

The Allies completed the tasks of defense and defense change very leisurely. On the other side, the Shangwen coalition army attacked less and less, and launched an offensive. This made it impossible for Qin war photographers to shoot intense and exciting war scenes. You must know that this is what King Qin wants to see.

And the situation of the coalition forces on the other side is very bad. This time, 120,000 men were dispatched. In less than half a month, more than 30,000 people were killed. In addition, there are many injuries. The battle has reached this point is already obvious. Withdrawal is the best option. And their opponents. Allied forces. It will take time. In particular, to delay the time of the coalition forces. If. The other party suddenly ran away. Then the Allies were prepared in vain. Wang Ben thinks. The Allies should be showing weakness.
