Pushing aside a large leaf in front of him, a Ceylonese soldier cautiously stepped out of his left leg. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he doesn't know where the enemy will fire from, so he can only observe every direction as much as possible.

He was followed by other soldiers, all of whom were armed, moving their steps cautiously forward.

The soldiers who were able to make it from the beach alive were all veterans with a lot of combat experience. They know that the road ahead must be very bumpy, and they will stop immediately at the slightest disturbance.

The forests here are too dense, the roads here are too rugged, everything here is so unfamiliar, and everything here is so familiar.

The same plant and the same environment, Luzon and the southeast peninsula, where Ceylon soldiers fought all year round, are particularly similar. But this is different from the Southeast Peninsula, everything is so dangerous.

Who would have thought that the Ming Empire would build such a strong fortification here and prepare such a sufficient number of troops.

In the dense woods, an inconspicuous wire was torn by the advancing soldiers, followed by a crisp metal crash that sent everyone shudder.

No one could react, and a sudden explosion took the lives of several Ceylonese soldiers, and the rest of them fell to their stomachs in fright, but caused many explosions in succession.

In the confusion, the Ceylonese soldiers managed to stabilize their positions, and these mines were buried in hidden positions, the purpose of which was to guard and delay the opponent's advance.

One by one, these Ceylonese soldiers, who were so frightened that they were lying on the ground, got up and began to count the number of losses. They did not have time to wait for the sappers to catch up, and it was not worth it for the sappers to come.

It didn't happen before, they waited for a long time for the sappers to come, but only found a few mines. So now they are too lazy to waste any more time, or rather, they have become accustomed to ignoring their own life and death.

However, as they crossed the jungle and continued to expand their occupation area, they encountered a second strong defense line of the Ming Empire's defenders.

These lines were meticulously built, including Z-shaped trenches and topped machine-gun bunkers. And the entire trench was hidden in the tropical vegetation, making it easy to distinguish.

It was only after the soldiers of Ceylon entered the enemy's killing range in a daze that they felt the horror of the opponent's defensive line.

The rain of bullets overwhelmed them, and when they withdrew from the range of their fire, they found that at least half of their comrades were lying in front of the position.

The Ceylon attacking troops, which were not supported by heavy artillery fire, did not even have the courage to attack again at this time, so they gave up.

They could only wait where they were, hoping that their navy could rush back, and then bombard these strong defensive lines with heavy artillery to drive the soldiers of the Ming Empire out of these bunkers.

It is a pity that the army artillery of the Ming Empire did not have the habit of waiting, and they intensively bombarded the area occupied by the Ceylon soldiers according to the parameters of the previous survey.

Ceylonese soldiers die every second, and they use their corpses to pave a way from the beach all the way to the depths of the jungle.

The irony is that the other side may have killed at least 20,000 Ceylonese soldiers who landed without even losing 2,000 men.

Faced with a ten-to-one exchange ratio, anyone can be frustrated. The opposing side relied on various fortifications to drain their living forces, much to the pain of Ceylon's commanders.

Why the pain? Because such tactics were actually tactics that the troops of the Ming Empire learned from the soldiers of Ceylon.

Moreover, this set of combat tactics was developed by Miao Shengye -- he was the first to propose that regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, the other side should use efficient trench arrangements to consume the opponent's vital forces.

Ge Tianzhang was defeated in front of this tactical system, and the old Shangshu of the Ming Empire was annihilated hundreds of thousands of troops on the Southeast Peninsula, but he was not able to make any substantial progress.

And what broke this system was the tank advance tactics of the Ming Empire, as well as the new weapons that appeared in the sky.

Even in dense forests, armored troops can effectively advance, although the losses are not small, but in the face of the enemy's strong defensive areas, the effect of reducing casualties should not be underestimated.

Similarly, finding and striking the enemy's troop rallying points in the air, destroying the enemy's supply depots and medical stations, etc., will also effectively destroy the opponent's fortifications.

It is a pity that none of these things in Ceylon could be used in the battle for the landing in Luzon...... The air force is not as good as the Ming Empire, this is a thing that everyone is sure of, and it is even more impossible for tanks to carry too much and send them to Luzon.

Miao Shengye really prepared 20 tanks for the 1st Division of Ceylon, but unfortunately half of these big guys have now sunk into the sea with the ship, or paralyzed on the beach and used as bunkers.

The remaining tanks had not yet been transported to the shore, so they could not support the infantry advancing from the front. The defenders of Ceylon can only use the most primitive methods to challenge the defense line of the Ming Empire, and use their flesh and blood to meet the steel storm on the position of the Ming Empire.

Who would have thought that Miao Shengye's slaughter tactics would achieve a Ming Empire general named Rui Mouguo on Luzon. Who would have thought that countless Ceylonese soldiers would be blocked in the sandy area by their best tactics and suffer heavy casualties?

Bullets rained down on the Ceylonese soldiers, breaking branches that stood in the way, piercing through leaves, and then embedded in the thick trunks.

The crackling sound brought despair to the Ceylonese soldiers, who held their weapons and lowered their heads as low as they could. Even if his face was already attached to the damp soil, he didn't dare to lift half an inch.

In the vicinity of the second line of defense, the two sides once again engaged in fierce fighting, and the losses of the Ceylonese troops once again climbed to new heights, while their reserves were beaten at sea at this time.

"Ceylon soldiers! Soldiers! The fleet will be there soon, hold your ground! Hold your ground! Inside the radio station, the command was repeated.

And the gendarmes of the Overseer are repeating again and again what kind of punishment they will receive if they surrender or are afraid.

From time to time, Ming fighter jets flew over the beach, shooting Ceylonese soldiers who had just jumped out of transport boats with their cannons.

In fact, this place has long been a hell, and the living have lost their souls, leaving only the bodies of the walking dead, and continue to struggle on this sand, which has been stained red with blood.
