0589: Tentative attack

War starts when it starts.

In the darkness, the enemy convoy swaggered in a zigzag, and the strong lights shone hundreds of meters away, and each vehicle was clearly visible by the headlights behind it.

Perhaps it was because there was no danger along the way, or perhaps because the mechanized army had relatively advanced reconnaissance equipment, and there were no reconnaissance soldiers in front.

The enemy was still five miles away, and it could only be said that a few people had entered the range of the artillery, but Hugh Feng, who was in charge of the artillery, did not hesitate to order the artillery to be fired.

Ten bottles resemble cannons' cannons spitting tongues of fire, and high-explosive shells shoot out of their chambers with a sharp sound, and they fall on the enemy's front convoy in a matter of seconds.

The flames of the explosion soared, and the deafening explosion sound came very quickly, and many soldiers hiding in the bomb shelter fell to the shooting hole.

After the initial violent blast blast wave raged, several armored vehicles ahead of the enemy were blown off to both sides of the road.

One armored car hit by a shell had been torn apart, steel parts were thrown everywhere in the sky, while the other three armored vehicles rolled on the side of the road, one of which rolled inexorably into a low-lying area of more than 100 meters.

The explosion power of the cannon is very large, and the firing range is also long, but there is one biggest disadvantage, that is, the loading is slow, and it takes 50 seconds to a minute for a group of five artillerymen to be nimble.

Therefore, the ten cannons placed on the top of the hill only had a few chances to shoot, Hugh Feng stood in front of the position, looked at the explosion results with a telescope, and he shouted unhurriedly: "The muzzle of the cannon is raised for three minutes, ready to fire." ”

Hugh Feng chose to fire five miles from the enemy, considering that the enemy's instrument scanning radius was five miles away, and then let the enemy approach, and many fortifications on Lotus Mountain might be detected by it.

It was also a reason to stop the enemy five miles away, block the way with damaged armored vehicles in the front, and cause some trouble to the troops in the rear.

Another is that the enemy wants to return the artillery bombardment, and the small artillery on the armored vehicle is afraid that it will not be able to hit so far, so as to gain the opportunity to create more time for shelling.

The enemy was stunned at first, and the vehicles behind did not react, causing multiple vehicles to collide together, and countless vehicles were blocked on the road in confusion.

The explosion fell, and the infantry walking in the middle of the road had already reacted, and all companies and squads reacted uniformly to open the personnel carrier and get out of the car, because the defense of the personnel carrier is not high, and often a bomb can kill all the soldiers in a cart, and the experienced veteran will open the door as soon as possible.

However, because of the traffic accident, many cars collided together, and it happened that the troop carrier was like a box truck, the door was in the back, the door was blocked, and the soldiers in the car could not open the iron box at all, so they could only scream inside.

Some of the troop carriers were not hit, and the soldiers inside got out of the car in a hurry, first cleverly ran to the sides of the road and lay down, and then heard the call of friendly troops, many people began to come forward to help, some instructed the driver to move the car quickly, and some even wanted to push the cart, and it was a mess.

The driver of the troop carrier that collided with him also came to his senses, ramming the vehicle in front of him indiscriminately, moving left and right, and finally making room for the soldiers in the car to get down.

At this moment, the shells with a sharp whistling sound flew to the ground, and a violent explosion exploded between the armored vehicle and the personnel carrier, and between five and eight miles fell ten high-explosive shells, exploding ten huge flameballs.

The smoke of the monster threw out countless steel parts and flesh and bones, screams, screams, and shouts in the light and explosions.

In the smoke of gunfire, some armored vehicles rushed out without hesitation, knocked over other armored vehicles, ran over some corpses, and rushed into the rubble piles on both sides of the road.

Farther away, the soldiers who survived the explosion fled to both sides of the road in a hurry, some lying on the side of the road, others running farther away.

In a short minute, the flames on the battlefield became smaller, the pungent smoke of gunpowder spread wider, more and more vehicles rushed off the road, and more and more soldiers gathered on both sides of the road, looking at the Lotus Mountain in the darkness from afar.

The third shelling came again, and seeing that the shells cut out the trajectory of the tail flame, the armored vehicles and soldiers automatically avoided and ran away from the road.

Hugh Feng did not stare at the soldiers bombing the dense turns, he still bombed the main road, in order to damage this important road more seriously and cause further trouble to the enemy's follow-up troops.

Of course, not all of the ten cannons hit accurately, and half of them fell on both sides of the road, but because each explosion group had a shock wave of tens of meters, even if it fell on the side of the road, it would cause great casualties to the enemy troops on the road.

"This is the consequence of not sending reconnaissance soldiers, sometimes, it is not good to trust the instrument too much, people, you can't be too lazy......" Xiao Chen pointed to the explosion scene and said to Yun Xiao with a smile.

"Hugh Feng's round of shelling is too good." Yun Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and he was more confident in whether he could stick to this place.

"It's really good, but it's a pity that although the old cannon is powerful, the range and accuracy are not strong, otherwise there will be greater results." Qi Longyuan couldn't help but express his opinion.

"There's no pity in fighting, maybe the enemy commander is also a pity at this time, it's a pity that he didn't send scouts, haha......" Xiao Chen laughed.

"That's what adults teach." Qi Longyuan also showed an ugly smile.

"Lao Qi, don't always keep a straight face, smile more, you see that you scared Yunxiao and them so much that they often didn't dare to take a breath, this is too old-fashioned."

Seeing Qi Longyuan's strange smiling face, Xiao Chen was in a slightly better mood and joked with him.

The fourth round of artillery fell, and the mountain shook again, and after a few minutes of buffering, the enemy's response order was also in place, and all the personnel retreated, and a certain assembly was ten miles away.

"The enemy generals are not idiots, and they deal with it very well." Xiao Chen put down the binoculars and said to the communication soldier on the side: "Order Xiu Feng to abandon the front artillery position and move to the back mountain." ”

"Yes." The signal corpsman took down the order, rushed out with his waist down, and ran towards the artillery position of more than 200 meters.

Ten minutes after the enemy assembled, a team of 1,000 men was sent out and an attempt was made.

When the enemy passed through the battlefield where the flames were still still there, he gradually separated horizontally, with the main road as the central point, and pulled more than 400 meters, forcing the black mountains in a straggler line.

This is a tentative attack, there is no need for Xiao Chen to worry about it, Yun Lang, whose headquarters is located in the second trench, orders the first and third lines of defense not to fire, and the soldiers in the second trench are the main attack.

The second trench is four or five meters above the ground of the main road, and can strike the enemy from a condescending vantage point, which makes it easier to defeat the enemy than a soldier lying on the first line of defense as high as the ground.

The range of a firearm is within 1,000 meters, but beyond 500 meters, the accuracy and damage will be reduced, and the range of cold weapons such as bows and arrows is even closer.

Except for the dozens of summoners, all the soldiers of the cavalry battalion used firearms, and seeing that the enemy army had entered four hundred meters, Yun Lang still had not given the order to shoot.

Seeing that the enemy was about to enter the minefield, Yun Lang said in a deep voice: "Shoot a flare and prepare to attack." ”

The soldiers who had been lying on the trench for a long time waiting for the order opened the safety one after another, aimed ahead, and prepared the buckle machine in the commander's low voice.

Grieve...... Grieve...... Grieve......

Five flares were fired into the sky in a row, and the sharp sound attracted the attention of countless people, and many people on both sides subconsciously looked into the sky.

The flares swayed to the highest place, exploded one after another, and the blazing light like the sun shone down instantly, boom, the sound of various guns and weapons was intertwined, and the light drawn by the bullets flashed away, and instantly fell into the crowd.

Some of the enemy troops who were advancing on their waists fell in rows like cut down rice grains, and the rest of the people fell in a hurry at the shouts of the commanders, and crawled on the ground.

The shrewd men were already lying on the ground, stretching out their guns and shooting at the cavalry camp, some of them because they were nervously firing indiscriminately, while others were aiming at the place where the shot flashed.

The two sides were temporarily caught in this strange stalemate, one side hid in a trench, the other lay on the ground, the two sides fought back and forth, and the enemy troops lacking cover suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to climb within 300 meters.

In about five minutes, there was the sound of a horn on the road for retreat, and the enemy troops all twisted and fell back on the ground in a hurry, and some of the anxious people got up and stood up, but were killed one by one by the snipers in the trenches.

The attack of 1,000 men did not test the strength and firepower of the cavalry battalion, and when they retreated hastily, only about 500 men remained, and the rest were in ambush in the wilderness, and when the attack stopped, all the corpses were gradually covered in darkness.

When all the remaining infantry of the enemy retreated to the assembly point, for half an hour, the enemy did not move, and it was unsettling quietly.

"It's gone, everyone's minds don't be nervous, the next time the enemy attacks, either wait for the air force to come, or wait for dawn." Xiao Chen clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and said lightly: "Qi Longyuan, a few of you work hard, take a few summoners to the front to inspect it, the enemy may let the summoners sneak attack once." ”

"My lord, my duty is to protect you......" Qi Longyuan said in embarrassment.

"Actually, letting you protect the soldiers below is also equivalent to protecting me, you think about it, if the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are here, will my safety still be a problem?"

Qi Longyuan thought carefully for a while, and felt that since he had arrived at the battlefield, no one would be spared, so he would stay here to protect Xiao Chen, or go out to patrol the camp in case the enemy attacked the camp, and the rest was the same.

"Yes, my lordship, I will take my command." Qi Longyuan bowed down and replied, "However, your lord needs to agree to the humble position, no matter what, you must have at least three people by your side to protect you." ”

"No problem, I'll cooperate with you." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
