Fortunately, by this time, the airship that had arrived from the south to support had already arrived for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements under black pressure, two airships quickly stepped forward and began to bomb the first Venezuelan officers and soldiers.

Carrido had already received a report from Andreas that he had to engage the enemy in close combat to avoid being bombed by enemy airships.

As a result, Carrido hurriedly ordered the artillery units to disperse the artillery and fight separately to bombard the positions of the Xia Empire; The infantry launched a full-army charge at the enemy's position in battalion units, and if they were unsuccessful, they would be successful.

The advantage of spreading out troops is to reduce casualties from bombing; In the face of such a large-scale and large-scale bombing target, the 2 airships also felt very difficult, and the ammunition was getting less and less; The commanders of the two airships discussed, and the No. 1 airship first bombed violently for a while, and returned to the base to replenish after dropping ammunition; Airship No. 2 will not bomb for the time being, and will be responsible for covering the ground forces when Airship No. 1 returns to replenish ammunition.

The enemy's desperate charge also caused a certain degree of casualties to the Xia Empire's army. In the face of a charge of this magnitude, the Xia Empire's army was under tremendous pressure.

The officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire were also red-eyed, the barrels of many light and heavy machine guns were already red, and even the spare barrels were useless, and the bombardment speed of mortars and mountain artillery also slowed down, otherwise the barrels could not afford it.

Venezuelan officers and soldiers fell in rows like wheat harvesters, and those who were swept by heavy machine guns were even more splattered with limbs and flesh and blood.

The artillery began to engage in artillery battles with the enemy's artillery, although the Praetorian Guard Mountain had a certain advantage, both in terms of range and rate of fire, it was far superior to the enemy, but the enemy's artillery was quite numerous, and it was very scattered, that is, all the enemy's artillery was wiped out, and they also caused great casualties to the officers and soldiers in the forward positions of the Xia Empire.

At the same time, Carrido issued a new order, ordering the 5th Army to abandon artillery, go around the enemy's back lightly, or flank, and suddenly launch an attack on the Xia Imperial army.

Feeling that the first batch of soldiers was already very tired, the commander of the 2nd Army urgently ordered the reserve troops to step forward to take over the shift, so that the officers and soldiers who had participated in the battle could rest for a while.

The addition of the new forces and the intensive artillery fire quickly repelled a wave of enemy charges, but more Venezuelan officers and soldiers lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, or chose favorable terrain to shoot at the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire.

Not knowing how long the war would last, the tired officers and men were ordered to withdraw from the line of fire and begin to drink, eat, and rest in preparation for the return of the battle.

The 2nd Army sent constant telegrams to the deputy commander of the 4th Army, asking and urging reinforcements.

After receiving the telegram asking for help, the deputy commander of the 4th Army urgently ordered the mercenaries of the three brigades and the defense division to abandon the heavy weapons they were carrying and to reinforce them lightly. The road was blown up, so the army could only march all the way, and the speed of passage in the blocked road was very slow.

And the march while building roads made the speed of both sides greatly reduced.

According to the latest telegram, reinforcements could not arrive until about 10:30 at the earliest, so that the commander of the 2nd Army did not dare to press all his troops, and the officers and men on the frontline fought extremely hard.

At 10 o'clock, the news came that the commander of the 2nd Army felt even more stressed, and the airship that went back to replenish ammunition found an army of tens of thousands of people preparing to outflank them. The commander of the 2nd Army urgently ordered the mercenaries of the 2 brigades and the Janissaries of the 2 regiments, which were resting, to move immediately and build an improvised defensive line on the western side of the troops to block the attack on the enemy's flank. The troops directly under the division headquarters of the Praetorian Guard were ordered to join the frontal battlefield, and they did not dare to continue to preserve their strength at this time.

For more than 20 minutes, only some individual defense pits and some heavy machine-gun positions could be dug out of the western flank positions, and the trenches had not yet been connected, while the enemy's 5th Army had already launched an attack on the flank.

As soon as the enemy came up, he launched a charge of division after division, tens of thousands of people, a large area of black pressure, and there was no end point in sight, and wave after wave came like a tide, endlessly.

The heavy machine guns let out a piercing roar, the bullets in front of them were dense like a barrage, and the Venezuelan officers and soldiers were put down in rows, blood stained the earth, and gathered in low-lying places into pools of blood.

65mm mountain artillery shells, M1 and M2 mortar shells, densely flying towards dense enemy groups, "boom, boom, .....boom" explosions are incessant, each explosion will take a different number of enemy lives.

Like robots, the Venezuelan officers and soldiers ignored the dead and wounded comrades and continued their charge.

The Praetorian Guards and mercenaries of the Xia Empire finally got such a hearty battle, and they couldn't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and they didn't even have time to bandage them.

The two armies are like two red-eyed bulls, competing with each other's will and perseverance to see who can't hold on first. In any case, the defending side has a big advantage, and the number of casualties is much lower than that of the attacking side.

Seeing that the Western Front was in danger, the airship hurriedly flew to the Western Front and continuously released incendiary bombs in the enemy's path, killing and wounding the enemy at the same time, the huge flames were also a huge obstacle to blocking the enemy's charge.

The incendiary bomb fell to the ground and exploded, the flames rose more than ten meters, affecting dozens of square meters around, and the scattered viscous matter could fly out dozens of meters, and the sticky was seriously injured, and the killing area was very large.

The smell of flesh wafted from around the point where the incendiary bomb fell.

The incendiary bombs temporarily blocked the frantic charge of the enemy troops, so that the officers and men of the positions on the Western Front had a brief respite, and the officers and men immediately poured water from the kettle on the barrels or barrels of heavy machine guns, or urinated on the barrels to cool down the reddened barrels and barrels.

By 10:40, the supporting mercenaries were the first to arrive on the battlefield, and the commander of the 2nd Army ordered 1 brigade of the mercenaries to first support the flank defense line of the Western Front.

The arrival of reinforcements caused bursts of cheers on the flank positions on the Western Front, and morale was immediately boosted, and the newly arrived mercenaries did not care about resting, and immediately began to dig trenches, hoping to take advantage of the short time to connect the various points together, and the defensive effect would be greatly strengthened.

Seeing the piles of enemy corpses in front of the battle, these mercenary reinforcements sighed, finally caught up, and could drink some soup, hoping that the enemy on the opposite side would not run away.

Medical personnel also took advantage of this temporary respite to clean and bandage the wounds of the wounded officers and men, and strictly ordered some seriously injured officers and men to rest or wait for surgery.

At 11 o'clock, the mercenaries of the 2nd brigade arrived on the battlefield one after another, and this brigade was called upon to strengthen the frontal line of defense.

At 11:10, the No. 1 airship returned after replenishing ammunition and began to bomb the enemy on the flanks with impunity, this time using a large number of incendiary bombs, one incendiary bomb can kill the enemy within tens or even hundreds of square meters or lose combat effectiveness.

At half past eleven, another brigade of mercenaries and 1 division of Wehrmacht arrived at the battlefield.

The commander of the 2nd Army had a smile on his face, and victory was in sight.
