Chapter 49: Blood-stained Rain Shakes
Nearly twenty heavy chariots let out a loud roar, covering more than a thousand battle-armored infantry behind them to charge the hilly defense line. Nuo Yi saw the position below more clearly at the command post in the middle of the mountain, an undulating hill, densely covered with various trenches, and the grid drawn by the trenches was divided into more than a dozen uniform large pits, which were all masterpieces of missiles from the fleet just now. Although the area of the trench was a mess, now, black dots began to emerge from the stones, cracks, and underground inside the trench, and these were the soldiers of Jianshan Island. Outside the trench, more than a dozen heavy chariots were like hungry beasts, leading thousands of soldiers behind them to charge towards the trench. Noyi looked at Dean and said, "It's time for us to go down." Dean nodded. Noyi turned to Lingxi and Barry and said, "You guys continue to observe the position here, and there is something to communicate with. Barry and Boulder nodded, and Lingxi said with concern, "Brother, you have to be careful. Noa nodded and Dean went down the hill.
The hilly lines finally clashed. The soldiers of Jianshan Island were constantly pouring bullets at the Marines outside in the trenches, while the Marines moved forward steadily under the cover of the hulls and artillery of the vehicles. Jianshan Island is better than having cover, but the firepower is insufficient, and the Marine Corps is better than having chariots, and the artillery is powerful, but it is a fortified attack, and it is uphill, which is very difficult. The two sides were red-eyed at the beginning, there were too many new and old hatreds, and there were many people who died in the hands of the other party. When the Marine chariot drove to the foot of the hill, they found that the wide and long anti-chariot trenches crisscrossed the area, and the chariot was definitely afraid that it would not come out, but this small slope had to rely on the battle armor soldiers to charge up, and the casualties were only a bit exaggerated. Andrew had no choice but to carry out a rescue operation, drive the engineering chariot in front of him, and let it build an iron bridge across the ditch.
This time, the advance of the chariot was blocked, and the Marine infantry was unable to move, and suddenly became a key target for the beating, and Andrew had no choice but to ask for Norge fire support again. Nog asked: "How many more artillery do we have?" The staff officer replied: "Two more artillery suppressive fires can be carried out." I propose to use missiles. Nog shook his head: "No, the missiles should be left to the fleet, don't forget that there are still one or two ships outside on Jianshan Island, and no trace has been found yet." The reaction speed of the missiles is also a little slower, and the observation post on Jianshan Island will immediately warn us when they see our missile launch, and those rats will enter the hole again, and carry out a suppressive fire according to Andrew's coordinates naval guns. ”
The casualties on Jianshan Island were very heavy under this round of artillery fire, although there was a trench cover, due to the relatively dense artillery fire, there were still more than 50 casualties, and many people were blown off their hands and feet. Nuoyi also came to the battlefield at this time. Nu Shan hurriedly came over and said to Nuo Yi: "Captain! Our casualties are a bit big! Nuo Yi looked at the blood-stained half of Nushan's face and said, "Give up the first trench!" We are in the first trench only to kill and wound the infantry as much as possible, not the chariots, and the second trench to deal with the chariots! Nushan nodded, so he shouted loudly for the soldiers of Jianshan Island to retreat, and the people of Jianshan Island hurriedly pulled their casualties to the back trenches.
Andrew found that the battlefield suddenly became quiet, and after careful inspection, he found that the first trench was empty, and it seemed that this round of naval artillery suppression strikes caused great casualties to Jianshan Island. Andrew immediately ordered: "The engineering vehicles speed up the construction of the iron bridge, and the rest of the tanks are ready, and after crossing the bridge, occupy the first trench!" "The Marines can't help but be demoralized! Without the threat of artillery fire, two iron bridges were quickly erected, and under the cover of combat vehicles, the marines continued to advance to the first trench on the hill. Four chariots lined up as a vanguard, leading a group of battle-armored infantry behind to climb to the top of the hill.
Listening to the rumbling tracks of the chariot, Nuoyi shouted: "Nu Mountain! Roll out all the cannons! Get ready to shoot!" At the moment when the chariot drove up to the top of the mound and was about to climb over, the front of the chariot was raised, the center of gravity had not yet shifted, and the entire belly of the chariot was completely exposed. More than a dozen small-caliber guns fired together, knocking the undersides of the four tanks into a sieve, and one of them actually caused a martyrdom, and more than a dozen marines around the tank were directly blown to pieces, and the turret flew out sideways and knocked down several soldiers behind. Andrew looked at the chariot that exploded violently on the top of the mound and the turret that flew back with thick smoke, of course he understood what was happening, this is a classic anti-chariot tactic, because the armor at the bottom of the chariot is relatively weak, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a cannonball to hit the chariot from the bottom, but it is different when the chariot crosses the obstacle, especially at the moment when it crosses the peak line, the center of gravity has not yet completed the transfer, there will be a few seconds when the head of the car is facing the sky and the bottom is exposed, which is also the most vulnerable moment of the chariot. Andrew immediately ordered the rest of the chariots to reverse.
Although the tank was destroyed, and some of the marines jumped over the hill, they thought that this trench was a ditch, but they didn't expect to jump over and find that there was a trench behind the trench, and the back of these trenches were dug into an inclined plane, completely exposed in front of the back trench, which means that the defensive function of these trenches is one-way, of course, the consequence of this is that the anti-artillery effect is very poor, so deep anti-artillery holes are dug every other distance, but now, these holes are ... It's blocked. The Marines who jumped over were quickly beaten into a sieve by the Jianshan Island soldiers in the second trench, and the remaining Marines who reacted quickly immediately turned back and finally picked up a life.
At this time, the sky was raining heavily, the roads were muddy, the vision was poor, and the morale of the marines was even lowered, so they had to order to retreat again. In this battle, the casualties on both sides were not small, and they both cleaned up the battlefield in the torrential rain and moved the wounded and corpses. Nuo Yi looked at the mess and bloody corpses all over the ground, just as Nu Shan passed by with a soldier who was screaming and wailing and losing his legs, Nu Shan, whose face was covered in blood, looked at Nuo Yi and nodded, and continued to walk towards the ambulance calmly. Nuoyi finally felt an unprecedented exhaustion, this kind of truly tragic standing, the impact on the soul was completely different from killing one or two people before. Dean walked over from the side and said, "That's how the war works, adjust it, and it will be fine in two days." These soldiers are also, if they don't die this time, they will be very ruthless in the future. You can't collapse this stall! Noyi looked back at Dean and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Dean didn't know what to say when he looked at the smiling face that Noyi squeezed out, so he nodded and went to count his teammates. Andrew, on the other side of the hill, also watched the heavy rain hit the ground, splashing blood-colored rain flowers, and was silent for a long time.
