Chapter 113: Confrontation on the battlefield

The five howitzers were quickly set up and began to fire at the coalition trenches, and with a loud bang, shells fell from the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These shells are not filled with ordinary gunpowder, all of them are TNT, which also means that the Tianhan Kingdom is serious this time.

The shells fell into the positions of the coalition forces, and a loud explosion followed.

I saw that the trench made of sand and soil was directly blown out of a large crater, because the coalition forces had not seen such a powerful shell, and there were no effective protective measures.

The soldiers who got close lifted up, and the flesh and blood of the explosion were blurred, and even the body was not complete.

The soldiers who were a little further away did not dodge either, and the fragments and shock waves of the shell explosions were also very deadly.

With the crater as the center, all the soldiers around were affected, either dead or wounded.

Not only that, but the flaws of the coalition trenches were exposed, they were not good at digging trenches, and the trenches they dug were not very deep.

It's okay to resist ordinary firearms, but to deal with howitzers, the defect of insufficient protection ability is exposed.

But now there was no time to give them a deeper reinforcement of the trenches, and a large number of shells, after an interval of some time, flew again.

Many of the soldiers did not even see the enemy, and were buried in the trenches forever in the mud.

After several rounds of bombardment, the coalition forces suffered very heavy losses, but if they wanted to capture their positions, they still needed infantry.

And the coalition forces did not sit still, they also realized that the Tianhan Kingdom had more powerful artillery, and according to the nature of the Tianhan Kingdom's bombing, they decided to use a terrifying number of shells to wash the ground.

This kind of thing has happened to the coalition forces, and even the advanced explosive bombs, the Tianhan Kingdom can bomb them for several days in a row.

Who knows how many of these more advanced shells the Tianhan Kingdom has.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces decided to take advantage of the fact that the opponent had not yet gained a firm foothold and try to attack and seize the opponent's artillery position.

"Regiment commander, look at the appearance of the enemy army, they want to attack." The commander of the second battalion said.

The regimental commander cautiously took down the telescope and asked, "Have we arranged our machine gun positions?" ”

"It's already set."

"Now there's a good show to watch."

The coalition forces turned from a defensive position to an offensive and launched a large-scale charge, and some positions in the Tianhan Kingdom that had not yet been firmly established were quickly captured.

A large number of front-line positions have been lost one after another, which has given the coalition forces a shot in the arm, they have been pressed and beaten, and now they can defeat the enemy, how can they not be happy.

But soon, the offensive of the coalition forces was hindered, and the small number of front-line positions of the Tianhan Kingdom were like a nail, which could not be pulled out at all.

A common feature of these units is that they are equipped with a lot of machine guns and have solid machine-gun positions.

Every time the coalition forces launched a charge, they were covered by an overwhelming barrage of barrage, and the soldiers were harvested like wheat.

These machine-gun positions not only inflicted huge losses on the coalition forces, but also repelled their charges again and again.

The troops in charge of attacking the machine-gun positions were not taken this time, and were most severely criticized by the Supreme Commander, who ordered them to take those positions within ten minutes.

The order has been handed down, and the officers of the unit also know to carry it out, so they can only say that they have poured blood mold and encountered these hard bones.

However, even with the continuous charges, the machine-gun position remained motionless, like a meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of the coalition soldiers.

Due to the existence of these nails, the attack of the coalition forces was not as fast as expected, and after the Tianhan army suffered certain losses, the weapons and equipment delivered by the logistics department were finally sent to them.

After arranging machine gun positions and artillery arrays, the newly formed defense line of the Tianhan troops was stabilized, and all the charges of the coalition forces were repulsed.

The coalition forces also paid a great price for this, and there was some fatigue, and these were the times when the army of the Tianhan Kingdom counterattacked.

The position was recaptured, and the attack became more violent, so the coalition forces had to retreat to the town, using the town's buildings to continue the confrontation with the Tianhan army.

In less than a day, the coalition army paid the price of nearly 30,000 people, and the number of casualties in the Tianhan Kingdom probably did not exceed 5,000 people, which was caused by their charge, and it was difficult to cause losses to the Han army after all the new weapons and heavy weapons were equipped on that day.

The top brass of the coalition forces finally realized the horror of the new heavy weapons of the Tianhan Kingdom, as well as the lack of firepower.

However, it was already night, and the gunfire became sporadic and the two sides had a tacit understanding to stop the exchange of fire, after all, everyone was not very good at night fighting.

Large-scale battles don't happen, but small actions don't stop.

Because the coalition forces have realized the gap in weapons, it is impossible for them to be indifferent, and many high-ranking officers want to send small units to intercept the logistics of the Tianhan Kingdom, or make their logistics not so comfortable.

If they don't care about the logistics of the Tianhan army and continue to fight according to this trend, they will be defeated.

Not to mention what the Tianhan Congress did after the defeat, these high-ranking officers would definitely not be able to escape, and it was not surprising that they became victims of politics.

No one is going to joke with their lives, so they have to find a way to win, or at least a draw......

A team of 100 men was dispatched, all of whom were veterans and elites who had been on the frontal battlefield.

Since they are elites, their weapons and equipment are all the best, and the funny thing is that the weapons of the combat team, including the combat uniforms they wear, are all produced by the Tianhan Kingdom.

The task given to this combat team by high-ranking officers is also very simple, to block the logistics and transportation of the Tianhan Kingdom and to intercept weapons and equipment as much as possible.

The former is the main purpose, and the high-level of the coalition forces have also seen it after the battle, and the new equipment and firepower of the Tianhan army are powerful, but they need good logistics guarantees.

These new types of equipment are very ammunition-consuming, and after a few rounds, the ammunition will basically run out, and without ammunition, no matter how powerful these new equipment is, they will not be able to exert their power.

Of course, the logistics of blocking the Tianhan Kingdom are only delaying time, and if you want to defeat the opponent, you must master the same equipment or more advanced equipment as the opponent.

As for the interception of weapons and equipment, this is just a good idea, intercepting a batch of weapons and equipment, it is simply impossible to break through the defense line of the Tianhan Kingdom and transport it.

Even if a batch is smuggled in, it is difficult for such a small amount of weapons and equipment to play a role on the battlefield.

Their purpose is not only this, but to capture the advanced equipment of the Tianhan Kingdom.

Carrying such a mission, the combat team was fully armed and took advantage of the night to sneak into the darkness.
