Will Wang Jue let go of the opportunity in front of him? Of course, he would not let it go, and he began to prepare himself before the defenders of Ceylon began to move on to the counterattack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The attack he prepared was a huge project, or rather, he put Sima Mingwei and Wang Yan on his two wings, and he was ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack at all times.

The 5th Army under the command of General Sima Mingwei, as well as the 4th Army held by Wang Yan, were all prepared in their respective salient areas, ready to throw themselves into the net by the defenders of Ceylon.

On December 31, the last day of 1832, Ceylon launched an offensive operation codenamed Pincer. From the two flanks, a two-wing flank attack was launched on the central salient of the Ming army.

Having been reinforced to a two-meter-deep infantry trench, the soldiers of the Ming Empire held their rifles and felt the enemy's fierce artillery fire for the first time.

There was only one country around the Ming Empire that could masse this level of artillery locally, and that country was Ceylon, which split off from the Ming Empire.

One after another, the cannonballs fell on the defenders of the Ming Empire, blooming one after another flowers of death. Smoke obscured the vision, billowing and steaming into the sky.

At the bottom of the pit, the soldiers of the Ming Empire held their weapons, endured the explosion close to them, and endured the dust that flew up and hit their steel helmets.

These poor infantrymen were placed in the first line of defense, facing the ferocious onslaught of Ceylon's elite troops. However, they also have their own support, that is, they have built a strong defense line for 5 days.

The positions they were stationed in had hardly changed since their capture, so they had strengthened these lines and added many trench weapons developed by the Ming Empire to them.

These positions had concealed machine-gun emplacements to cover the flanks, and the entire line of defense was reinforced, and in some places even roofed trenches.

The Ceylon army, which lacked offensive weapons, needed to rely on its own flesh and blood to tear apart the positions where these Ming Empire soldiers were stationed.

The good news is that the depth of the enemy army they need to face is only a little more than 2 kilometers, and such a depth is actually not conducive to arranging a defensive line for defense.

However, these two kilometers were indeed built into a solid defensive zone by the Ming Empire, and it was not easy to tear these two kilometers apart.

At least, the defenders of the Ming Empire, who were now squatting in their trenches and suffering from Ceylon artillery fire, did not intend to let these Ceylonese soldiers who were destroying them successfully achieve their goals.

"The enemy is coming!" As soon as the artillery fire in Ceylon stopped, on the position of the Ming Empire, someone saw the Ceylon soldiers who were already approaching.

These Ceylonese soldiers took advantage of the artillery bombardment to approach the positions of the defenders of the Ming Empire, and the place where they set off was actually not far from the forward positions of the Ming Empire.

The distance between the two sides was actually less than 700 meters in a straight line, so when the Ceylon soldiers jumped out of the trenches and began to attack, they were actually within the range of the weapons of the defenders of the Ming Empire.

"Fire!" With a familiar order, on the defending positions of the Ming Empire, the machine guns on the front began to roar wildly.

Several machine guns sprayed tongues of fire at the same time, and all of a sudden, the battlefield that had just fallen silent from the sound of artillery became lively again.

Dense tracer bullets rushed into the crowd of Ceylonese soldiers, and then, as if they were cutting wheat, knocked out these poor Ceylonese soldiers.

Not all armies have tanks and armored vehicles to cover when attacking. Ceylonese soldiers were not treated like this, so they had to die in hundreds, if not thousands, in front of the enemy's positions, as they had been ten years ago.

The soldiers of the Ming Empire opened heavy fire, and soon the Ceylon soldiers gave up this pointless attempt. If we really continue to fight in this way regardless of consumption, it may fill the distance of 2 kilometers and require the corpses of 20,000 Ceylon soldiers.

Of course, the Ceylonese army, which had given up the attack, could not easily give up the attempt, and soon the second round of heavy artillery shelling once again fell on the defenders of the Ming Empire.

This was the standard process for infantry to attack the enemy's heavily fortified positions, followed by an infantry assault, followed by an infantry assault, followed by an infantry assault, and so on until the enemy's position was conquered.

Of course, this is not a good way, otherwise the army of the Ming Empire would have pacified Liaodong a long time ago, and they would not have been able to wait for Wang Jue and Zhu Mu to make contributions.

Such a way of playing is destined to consume a lot of time, and countless troops are also needed to act as cannon fodder. The competition between the two sides is determination, and who has more sufficient supplies and whose troops can withstand attrition.

In this process, the attacker consumes more materials and personnel than the defender, which is why the Ming Empire was at a loss in Liaodong.

Shen Baihe and Shen Ruyu, who have long understood that they can't be consumed like this, of course it is impossible to consume them here with the Ming Empire, and they are also rushing for time, grabbing the time for Ceylon's high-level decision-making.

If Miao Shengye arrived, or if his order was brought by another person of sufficient prestige, their attack plan would be completely terminated, and the only thing that awaited the two of them would be punishment and punishment.

However, before these things happen, if they win the battle on the front line and bring the situation back, then the bad thing will become a good thing, and the punishment of the two people will not be too much.

Therefore, they had no way to retreat, so they could only devote their greatest strength to attack the central salient of the Ming Empire.

Because of this, after the second round of shelling, on the position of the Ming Empire, a soldier who had just crawled out of the dust saw the Mammoth tank of the Ceylon Empire opposite.

"Tank!" With a shout, in front of the position of the Ming Empire, one after another mammoth tanks showed their hideous fangs, covering the infantry of Ceylon, and walked towards the position of the Ming Empire.

Who would have thought that the Ming Empire, which broke the stalemate on the battlefield with a new weapon called tank, would one day have to face its infantry against the enemy's tanks?

Soon, the position was lively, and the soldiers of the Ming Empire lacked sufficient anti-tank weapons, and they could only use their own flesh and blood to meet the enemy's tanks.

The battle for the Bulge took place just an hour after the two sides began fighting, and the battle for the Bulge turned into a fierce white-knuckle battle, with the corpses of soldiers from both sides strewn across the position, as well as the wreckage of the burning and exploding Ceylon Mammoth Tank.
