Chapter 13: Bloody Opérez (13)

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew that when the other troops were in full swing, he ordered the troops to take a short rest, which could be regarded as a very ** way.

However, there was no reason for him to put his subordinates at risk.

Although it is said that the division of the defensive forces of the Osville army in Opérez City should have arranged their respective defense areas a long time ago, Zhang Shixin was not stupid enough to think that if the situation was critical, the Osville army would still not move troops to reinforce the dangerous area.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin did not want to take advantage of other countries, especially the GLP Alliance.

Such a thankless thing, Zhang Shixin disdains to do it.

After Firay, Strall and other commanders received Zhang Shixin's order, they were stunned for a while, and then asked the troops to follow Zhang Shixin's order.

At the same time, they prepared their troops to attack the west side of Opérez at any time.

They knew very well what Zhang Shixin had in mind when he gave this order. Although from the perspective of allies, this is indeed very good, but they also know very well that it is not a thankless idea to attract the defenders by relying on them alone, but a foolish idea to kill themselves.

According to Zhang Shixin's sentence, he himself doesn't know what to say: this is not how to put the group ridicule.

……

During Zhang Shixin's recuperation, the other two city gates were also breached by the Gultoka army and the Kapani army, and the three sides are now constantly forcing their way into the city.

Such a price is very large, not to mention that every time the troops push further, the officers and soldiers pay huge casualties, and the city gate alone can really be described as a mountain of corpses.

Opérez had no moat, and his city's main source of water was a small canal built after the capital was established four hundred years ago. Therefore, the impact of this river on the attacking troops is not too great.

It should be said that it had little impact on the Gultoka army and the Kapani army, as the river mainly flowed through the northern part of Opérez.

The Union Army of GLP and the Osvell Army, which were constantly mobilized for melee, continued to fight to the death with the lives of officers and soldiers and all kinds of weapons and equipment on both sides of this canal.

Living lives continued to fall on both sides of the canal, and blood continued to flow down the rainwater ditch into the canal.

The water source is constantly stained red, and some small fish are constantly devouring the red water on the surface of the water mixed with blood.

……

More and more soldiers rushed into the city of Opérez, although the troops of several countries did not control enough areas to affect the direction of the battle, but many people knew in their hearts that the loss of Opérez was only a matter of time.

What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that just as they were about to attack, something happened that made him unbelievable.

By that time, a large number of artillery pieces of various types had been moved to new positions, ready to provide artillery support to the assault force as much as possible.

However, before Zhang Shixin gave the order, Zhang Shixin was still thinking about how to proceed in the next battle, when an earth-shattering loud noise interrupted his train of thought.

Feeling the incongruous vibration coming from the bottom plate of the armor, Zhang Shixin hurriedly looked at Opérez from the periscope.

All he could see was that the area where the walls were supposed to be was covered in dust and some black smoke that was hard to see.

Zhang Shixin looked at this scene and gasped, he had already guessed what was going on.

Those people of the Osville Empire actually planted a large amount of explosives under the walls of their own capital, and blew the walls down.

Zhang Shixin muttered: "Fortunately, I didn't order the troops to attack at that time. ”

Zhang Shixin, who was extremely happy in his heart, could only pay silent tribute to those friendly troops who were caught in the "encirclement", at least before the troops outside the city cleared a way into the city, and there were no reinforcements.

Perhaps, the next wave of troops entering the city will not be able to find a single living colleague, only a corpse.

Zhang Shixin ordered the troops to concentrate their forces as much as possible and clear a passage, and in such a situation, there might be some trouble when they divided their troops into Opérez.

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew that there were still many Osvell troops in some areas of the city wall that were not controlled, and the western gate he was going to attack had the largest number of people.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin was shocked that those high-ranking officials of the Osville Empire did not take the lives of officers and soldiers seriously and adopted such tactics, but he despised those enemies even more.

Because even if you kill your own people, there are not many people who are loyal to such a country.

Although Zhang Shixin didn't know what methods the high-level of the Osville Empire used to make these armies fight so hard, Zhang Shixin knew very well that such a tactic of harming others and not benefiting oneself would certainly be a temporary success, but what he would face next would not be a good thing.

Perhaps, the Osvell army, which is in the midst of fierce fighting, has already given birth to some other ideas.

Zhang Shixin could only pray for the officers and soldiers who had already invaded Opérez. If nothing else, it is difficult for those people to hold on to the support of follow-up reinforcements.

"Let the sniper squad at the right opportunity, relying on those abandoned rubble, cover the other troops to open a path!" Zhang Shixin said this instruction to Graylian, and then he added: "At the same time, the artillery units are on standby, and the front-line troops are equipped with a communications detachment at a distance as much as possible. ”

Zhang Shixin's order was quickly conveyed.

……

The commanders of several other countries were also very angry when they encountered such a situation, but they had to save the troops in the city.

Otherwise, the morale that has been hard to inspire will easily plummet, and then it is easy for problems to go wrong in the following operations.

Engineer units were dispatched as reserve troops to the collapsed areas where the dust had not yet completely submerged, using hand tools or modified armoured construction vehicles, constantly clearing the rubble of one or several areas.

The trapped troops in the city are now under strong onslaught from the Osvell army, and although the besieged troops are desperately resisting, many people are well aware that without sufficient ammunition and follow-up troops, they will inevitably run out of ammunition after not being able to resist for long.

Therefore, they must carve out a "way of life" before all these comrades are killed.

The members of Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company seemed a little leisurely in this regard, their construction speed was not too fast, but from time to time, the sound of sniper rifle shooting could be heard from the top of the rubble.

It was some snipers who were countering the osvir army who were hiding in some high-rise buildings located one or two hundred meters away from the osvir army [***].

The Oswelt Empire also had a considerable number of snipers in these buildings, however, they used more of the "old" pull-bolt sniper rifles.

Sniper duels between the two are constantly happening, but more because of the weapon, the sniper casualties of the Osville Empire are very high.

There is not much difference between the two in terms of shooting accuracy, however, the margin for error of the pull-bolt rifle is quite low, because of the inherent problems of the firearm's construction, the pull-bolt rifle must shoot a bullet before the cartridge case must fade out of the chamber.

So, sometimes, two snipers fired at each other, neither of them hit, and the sniper of the Osville Empire was killed by a sniper armed with a G43 semi-automatic sniper rifle with a second bullet before the bullet could fade out of the case.

Not only that, Zhang Shixin's artillery also provided firing coordinates to the artillery units through small communicators according to some communication groups hiding under the rubble under the snipers and constantly observing the situation with artillery mirrors.

Zhang Shixin's artillery unit, the gunners are all served by Zhang Shixin's summons, and in the case of eagle-eye shelling, it is almost impossible to smash the shells on their own heads.

Except that because of ballistics, the shells fell directly on the rubble, killing and injuring their comrades.

The firing parabola of artillery is determined primarily by the weight of the shell.

The parabola of mortar shells is quite high, so mortars are able to hit enemies behind many obstacles.

But this is not without a price, because it is also an indisputable fact that the lethality of mortars is much lower than that of howitzer shells of the same caliber.

At the same time, mortar shells have basically no chance of hitting the enemy hiding under the bridge.

The parabola of a large-caliber shell is relatively low, so it is possible for him to hit some enemies hiding under the bridge.

In the game, dodging cannonballs at the bottom of the bridge mainly uses the height difference of the bridge deck to block the display of the landing point.

In fact, it is not too safe under the bridge, because as long as the gunner moves the landing circle to the other side of the bridge, the flight trajectory of the shells will not refer to the bridge deck as the basis, so in this case, the enemy hiding at the bottom of the bridge may also be hit.

Of course, Zhang Shixin knows this, so in some maps, as long as the shooting angle is not too reluctant, Zhang Shixin will mentally calculate and press the left button of the mouse.

Osvir [***], a number of enemies are hiding in some of the upper protected warehouses.

Naturally, these gunners did not directly attack the position shown by the other party, but after comparing them, they put the landing point trap behind the warehouse.

Shells continued to fire, and although many of them flew directly above the buildings, many of them still hit the enemy hiding under the warehouse.

Zhang Shixin didn't know that his tactics had been faithfully fulfilled by his subordinates, and he was now thinking about a problem.

Because the commander of the engineer unit at the front thought that digging a passage by hand was quite time-consuming and ineffective. Because there are too many large pieces of stone rubble.

Zhang Shixin was still a little mentally prepared for this situation, but he was a little skeptical about the success rate of using explosives to blast it.

After knowing his boss's doubts, the commander of the engineering unit immediately patted his chest: "Boss, don't worry! Bet on the reputation of the chief graduate of the Imperial Engineer Section of Gultoka, this task must be completed properly. ”

After Zhang Shixin knew that his subordinates were sure to do such a thing, he ordered the other party to take full responsibility for such a matter.

As a result, a vote of Gultoka Imperial sappers took a large number of "tools for making a living" and joined the troops in front.

After visually inspecting the situation, the commander of the engineer unit quickly discussed with several engineers under his command, and after a few minutes, a complete battle plan was issued.

In the Osvell army, which tried not to alarm the other direction, the engineer unit constantly used various electric drill bits, sapper shovels, blasting pipes, and some chemicals to make some large solid stones one by one.

Then, some of the sappers held the blasting conduits one by one, inserted the blasting conduits in their hands in the marked area, and finally, the sappers in charge of wiring plugged in the energy conductors from top to bottom, behind these blasting conduits.

There were no more people in the selected blasting area, only a few snipers who continued their combat missions on top of the rubble a few hundred meters away.

"Preparing for the blast !!"

"Preparing for the blast !!"

"Preparing for the blast !!"

Every five seconds, the engineer commander shouted a word that he was ready to blast, and after three shouts, the engineer commander pressed the detonation terminal.

At about the same time, strips of blasting conduits, filled with TNT, exploded.

At one point, countless clouds of dust and black smoke rose from the area.

After a few minutes, the dust began to settle, and everyone was greeted by a pile of rubble that had lost quite a bit in thickness.

Zhang Shixin has long known that such a thing will happen, will someone blast only one side?

Zhang Shixin promised the engineer commander who was now stunned, firstly, because he didn't want his subordinates to be beaten hard by him, and secondly, because one-way blasting was not useless at all.

Because Zhang Shixin calculated, the thickness of the gap could be destroyed at once by concentrating firepower.

Zhang Shixin asked Grelian to comfort the engineer commander, who was thinking about when it would be better to shoot.

After passing through the Osvell army just now, even the walls of their own homes could still be blasted into a pile of rubble, and Zhang Shixin really didn't know what the other party couldn't do.

Zhang Shixin was waiting, waiting for the moment when the friendly forces of several other countries would open the gap.

………………………………………………………… Distribution line ....................................

The number of troops besieged in the city of Operez by the three countries exceeded 20,000, which seemed like a lot, but as Zhang Shixin expected, when it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, the "life passage" in the three directions was finally opened, and more than 20,000 people and a bunch of light and heavy equipment had been completely wiped out.

Zhang Shixin guessed a little wrong, because no miracle happened.

After Zhang Shixin received this information, he shook his head and sighed lightly.

After all, no matter what angle they are in, the more than 20,000 officers and men cannot be said to have died unjustly.

However, they also eliminated almost the same number, or even a little more, of the enemy troops, and Zhang Shixin was full of admiration for these friendly soldiers who were provoked to fight back.

"It's a good journey." Zhang Shixin muttered.

Although this situation stalled the pace of advance, when the siege troops launched another offensive, Zhang Shixin also ordered the artillery to be ready to fire shells towards the gap.

Hundreds of artillery shells continued to pour shells into the area, and high-explosive shells smashed onto the pile of rubble, setting up more and more debris and pillars of fire mixed with smoke and dust.

A minute later, the shelling stopped.

When the smoke had completely cleared, the attacking forces were faced with only a few pieces of rubble on the ground, with a few bumpy craters, about 25 meters wide.

At this time, Zhang Shixin officially ordered the troops to attack.

The three E-50Ms led by the group formed one in front and two behind, and rushed into the gap first.

The three E-50Ms then quickly rushed into a street that was riddled with shells in the second half of the project, and they were close to each side of the street, observing the situation on the street.

Ten seconds later, the commander found nothing of interest in the periscope, and then asked the signal corps to notify the follow-up troops that they could enter.

Immediately, one by one, the tank fighting vehicles in the formation of one front and two rear continued to enter the block.

Zhang Shixin didn't understand what was going on, because he could rush in this way, which simply surprised him.

It's just that they have to enter Opérez sooner or later anyway, so he had to give the operational instructions to be as careful as possible when letting the troops advance.

More and more troops moved into the outskirts of Operez's Xicheng district, and Zhang Shixin's forward troops did not encounter organized resistance until they were within a street 200 meters away.

However, the E-50M ignored the small-caliber anti-tank guns that had been placed in the street and fired directly at the enemy tanks that appeared on the other side of the street.

Small-caliber anti-tank guns hit the front armor plate of the E-50M's hull, leaving only one imprint, and some shells could not hurt the driver even if they exploded forcefully.

Tank units from both sides fought each other on several streets.

Zhang Shixin's side is playing the E-50M, as long as it is not directly penetrated by the large-caliber howitzer through the front armor or the top layer of armor is penetrated, even if it is a fairly powerful tank main gun, for the E-50M with lined armor, it is more likely that there is no damage to the penetration.

As for those small anti-aircraft guns, they can be ignored.

More and more armored units converged into several battlering streets, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides.

Zhang Shixin wondered why the opponent's defense was so weak, because he estimated that the enemy tanks and combat vehicles that were constantly appearing were very likely to come from other places to support.

Because if it had been stationed here, it would have been obvious that it would not have appeared in the battle area one after another.

Moreover, what the hell is going on with the armored vehicle units that are only now appearing?

Zhang Shixin couldn't figure out what was wrong with the enemy army he encountered, but the infantry unit only appeared now, and according to common sense, it was impossible.

Street fighting does not stick to the house, and none of the commanders will choose to do so.

Infantry is more effective in fighting in buildings than in many terrains.

Zhang Shixin looked at the enemy troops who were constantly retreating, and found that there was a problem, that is, the number of enemy troops was not so small.

From morning to now, Zhang Shixin estimated that the enemy troops he encountered at the West Gate were only a few thousand.

Although it is said that there was such a thing as the blasting of the city wall later, what is the matter with such a number of defenders?

Is there a mistake in the intelligence?

There is such a possibility, but it is not so bad as it is outrageous.

Appeared in an unexpected situation in Zhang Shi's mind, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of defenders?

Zhang Shixin was also not inclined to this unrealistic idea, because it didn't make sense to eliminate more than 20,000 troops of Zhang Shixin's friendly army in such a short period of time.

Zhang Shixin was puzzled by this, but he found a phenomenon, that is, the troops on the front line smelled a very strong smell of blood, and these smells even had some rancid odors.

After Zhang Shixin inquired about the situation ahead, these smells were quite strong in several streets.

Zhang Shixin assigned an infantry force of about 100 people in his mind and asked the other party to enter those houses and search them.

A few minutes later, Zhang Shixin got a situation that surprised him, the houses were filled with the corpses of the people of Osvel [***].

"......" Zhang Shixin was silent for a moment, and he thought of a word, that is, the defenders here had fought fierce battles with other enemy troops. But the battle was lost, and those who remained here were all killed by the suppressed Osvirdi [***].

He glanced at Grelian, whose face was a little pale, but Zhang Shixin did not speak, but asked the troops to go to the city of Opezez.

It's just that after Zhang Shixin entered the gap, Fei Lei, who had already entered Opérez, asked Zhang Shixin to go to a relatively complete house.

Zhang Shixin glanced at the tactical map, and the battle situation on the front line had stabilized, and a large number of troops continued to join the battle line more than 500 meters away within a radius, constantly stabilizing the occupied area.

Some VK-3601(H) Spitfires and Pyros were cleaning up buildings littered with corpses.

Zhang Shixin knew that in a short period of time, if there was no accident, they would not be able to advance to more areas, so after ordering the troops to maintain the status quo of the battle line, he jumped off the E-75B and entered a house.

There are also some blood-colored marks on the walls of this house, as well as bullet holes all over the walls, indicating that something like this is happening in this house.

Zhang Shixin smelled the bloody smell mixed with the smell of barbecue, and felt a disgusting feeling in his heart, but Zhao Feilin handed over a pill and said, "Second Young Master, if you eat this, it will feel much better." ”

Zhang Shixin nodded, took the pill and swallowed it.

However, when he went to the second floor, he saw Firay looking helplessly at a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a ragged face, a somewhat scarred face, and a sluggish expression.

"What happened?" Zhang Shixin glanced at the young man and said directly.

"Boss, this should be a survivor who is still alive in this area, I think, you know the situation in these streets well, so ......" Firay nodded, and motioned for a military doctor to take out a box from the medical box, which contained some pale yellow injections.

Zhao Feilin glanced at those injections and actually shook his head.

Zhang Shixin saw such a situation, and of course knew very well that these injections would not be a good thing.

He said, "What's the purpose of this thing?" ”

The military doctor glanced at Firey, who nodded, so the military doctor said, "Boss, this is what we produced in cooperation with our friends in the East...... Potions, which are able to make a person say many things. But...... This thing has a lot of side effects, and it is extremely easy to corrode the nerve center...... In other words, after this person is injected with this thing, even if he does not die, he will become a vegetative person for the rest of his life. ”

Zhang Shixin glanced at Fei Lei, who signaled that he had no other way to take the survivor but to do so.

Zhang Shixin knew that Fei Lei did this mainly to find out what was going on.

He looked at this young man who was obviously hit by an extremely serious mental blow, and now he was either crazy or stupid, and he was ...... for a while. He nodded......

……

When Zhang Shixin walked out of the room, a gunshot rang out from the room.

Zhang Shixin clenched his fists tightly, he didn't look back, but ordered Fei Lei, who was following him: "Order the troops...... Leave no mouth alive! (To be continued.) )
