Chapter 494: Proxy War (3)
Siege warfare without artillery is very difficult, but fortunately, the cities in the kingdom of Moss do not have any walls, otherwise the border guards will have to charge with ladders. Under the cover of only three Type 90 water-cooled heavy machine guns, the border guards of the two regiments formed a skirmish formation and began to charge first.
Government soldiers, who had no machine-gun firepower, lay down in the trenches, firing desperately with the only Springfield-style rifles they had in their hands. The border guards were shot in rows by a dense stream of bullets, but the rifle fire was too weak after all, and the attacking border guards quickly approached the edge of the trenches. The prepared government soldiers jumped out of the trenches with rifles loaded with bayonets and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the border guards.
This tactic of shooting first and then hand-to-hand combat is an inherent tactic of the Moss Kingdom, and both warring sides have become accustomed to it. Seeing the ferocious assassination actions of his own soldiers, Major General Brad nodded with satisfaction, and he immediately lost no time in ordering the follow-up troops to start charging. Seeing that the opposing side's steady stream of reinforcements continued to appear, the commander of the government army had no choice but to press on the entire line without leaving reserves.
After all, the soldiers of the government army were relatively close, and a large number of soldiers quickly reinforced to the forward positions, pressing down the border guards who were less numerous, and when they had opened a certain distance, the government rifles began to fire again. Before the follow-up border guards could rush forward, they were again shot by the opponent's fire, and there were many casualties immediately.
Seeing that their side was at a loss, the machine guns of the border guards began to roar continuously, and then several fires of the government troops were suppressed, and the soldiers with rifles charged again.
The first army of the border guards are all veterans, the military quality is much higher than that of the government army, the pressure on the border defense is greater, these soldiers are more intensively trained, and many of them have even participated in the battle against the Saint-Martin Empire, and there is still some experience.
Driven by this veteran, the follow-up troops of the First Army soon approached the opponent's position again, this time the border guards rushed over with a lot of people, these fierce veterans quickly suppressed the government army, after more than two hours of attack and defense, the government army was too few in number after all, they soon could not support it, and the remaining remnants began to retreat into the city.
The border guards took advantage of the situation and entered the city and engaged in fierce street battles with government troops. With the same level of equipment, street fighting was very advantageous for veterans, and the government army had a small combat force, and their commander had to order the logistics troops stationed in the city to open the arms depot and take out their weapons to participate in the battle. It's a pity that the fighting will of these logistics soldiers is too poor and they can't play a big role in street fighting. A day later, the border guards finally took full control of the city of Colima at the cost of 8,000 casualties, and the remnants of the government forces had to abandon the city and flee to the front line to the south.
Neither side expected that at this moment, in the low-earth orbit at the extreme high altitude, several satellites were sweeping over here from time to time, transmitting the captured images to the command center of the Wild Continent. These satellites are several of the sixteen latest spy satellites launched by the Chinese Empire, and these satellites fly over the Moss Kingdom at a rate of one per hour, transmitting the situation on the battlefield back in real time.
Holding a satellite photo with an accuracy of one meter, Fu Mingcheng couldn't help but pout: "The battle concept of the Moss Kingdom is too poor, even the battle we fought in Ulan City back then was better than these people." ”
Al on the side smiled and said: "Forget it, you don't look at what kind of equipment they have, they don't even have a few machine guns, what kind of high-end war mode can they play?" ”
Liu Mingzhao said with a smile: "Indeed, if their weapons and equipment are one percent of our iron-blooded army, they will not fight so ugly. ”
Fang Xiaoyu has been teleporting back and forth between the Beijing Imperial Palace and the Savage Continent these days, and at this moment, in order to grasp the first-hand battlefield information, he is also in the command center. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, is it so easy to get good equipment?" If it weren't for my dedication to equipping you, you might not be as good as them, but you should still care about yourself, are the new fighters installed? ”
Al smiled: "The first wing has been reequipped, but everyone is used to propeller fighters like the Golden Eagle 2, these jet fighters still need some time to get used to, and even the ground maintenance personnel have to be retrained." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "At the beginning, it was like this, you need to pay enough price to use good equipment, I am urging the research institute to let them develop the jet trainer as soon as possible." ”
Al smiled: "That's a good feeling, but I don't understand, young master, why is this new plane called Golden Eagle 4 instead of Golden Eagle 3?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The air force of the Guards and the National Defense Force is ready to be replaced with a new fighter, but it is not a jet, it is still a propeller, that is called Golden Eagle 3, I will go to the test flight site to see the finalized test flight of several new aircraft, this aircraft is among them." ”
Liu Mingzhao said: "Young master, we even have jet fighters come out, what are we studying those propeller fighters for?" It's just a waste of energy. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Now jet aircraft is a killer weapon that we must hide, and it can't be revealed so quickly, otherwise we will point out the research direction to other countries, and they can skip the research stage of propeller aircraft and directly study jet aircraft, which will give them the opportunity to narrow the gap with China's science and technology." ”
Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, several officers nodded again and again, the enemy's weapons were naturally as backward as possible. Seeing that several people agreed with his idea, Fang Xiaoyu smiled and continued: "What's more, who said that a propeller plane must be worse than a jet plane, although a jet plane is fast, it is not as agile as a propeller plane, and in some ground support attacks, the speed of the aircraft is too fast for the pilot to be unable to aim at the target." ”
Al scratched his head and smiled: "It's good to join the Iron Army, and use the best equipment for everything, it's much better than when you were in the Guard." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "That's right, when did I make you suffer, there will be more weapons and equipment that will surprise you in the future." I wonder what happened to the progress of the manned space flight? ”
Fang Xiaoyu has been directly teleported to the command center for the past few days, and he has no time to ask about other things, and Wu Yunna has not been by his side these days because his level is not enough. In addition to the army, Fu Mingcheng is also very enthusiastic about scientific research, and he is very concerned about the progress of all scientific research, so Fang Xiaoyu can know the latest progress of Lu Dao by asking him directly.
Fu Mingcheng said: "The progress is very good, two goblin astronauts were just launched yesterday morning, and they are probably in low-earth orbit at the moment. ”
