"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The next morning, the sun had just risen, and with the ...... of a new day had risen It's the blood-red sunrise...... and the roar of the new 105mm howitzer of the 4th Division of the Emperor......

After two days of consultations, the commander of the 6th Division, Zhistov, finally persuaded Laudrov to give the 6th Division the necessary artillery cover...... Gratuitous......

In fact, giving artillery cover was also the limit acceptable to the commander of the 4th Division, Laudrov. So, after transferring the two tank brigades and equipment on hand to the 4th Division, the artillery bombardment began to support the attack of the 4th Division.

Under the red morning sun, on the artillery position constructed by the artillery unit of the Fourth Division of the Emperor's ** Division, which is 9 kilometers away from Landobasa, all kinds of cannons are erected in sight.

72 105-mm howitzers, 12 150-mm guns, 52 88-mm self-propelled guns have already adjusted their firing angles and began to tilt shells towards the defensive positions of the Gallian Army......

"Boom!"

The 105-mm gun thundered, spitting out smoke-emitting shells, and another 15-kilogram shell was fired.

The artillery of the 4th Division skillfully pushed another shell into the chamber in preparation for the next round of firing.

The artillery crew of the eight-man team is well coordinated, and it is worthy of being the division and regiment with the highest number of qualified personnel, and the professional and technical level of the unit is indeed not covered.

"Donglong!"

The brutal recoil of the 150-mm gun slammed down the self-retracting barrel,

Every shelling was like thunder.

Unlike the 105 gun's monolithic shells, the 150 gun's split reload takes a little longer. But the power is also more terrifying.

The blast wave of the 105 grenade can kill a living target within a range of 20, and it is difficult to survive within half a 10 meters.

The 150-mm gun had a radius of 50 meters.

What is the concept that any target within a radius of 50 meters will be killed? It means that it only takes two shots on a football field to knock everyone on the football field.

For the damage of the shock wave, it can only be resisted by bunkers and fortifications, and even the defensive effect of open non-enclosed fortifications such as trenches is not very obvious.

And now, these shells are raining down on the northern highlands where the Northern Army of Gallia is stationed.

The defensive positions on the heights were completely covered by artillery fire.

........................

"Good, good. The artillery bombardment effect of the Fourth Division is very good! It is worthy of being a special-grade configuration! The firing effect of hundreds of large-caliber heavy guns at the same time is good! I am really envious! If only we had these cannons!"

Zhistov, who was observing the positions of the Gallian Army in the northern heights through a telescope, looked at the positions of the Gallian Army, which were completely covered by artillery fire, and sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency, as long as we take Lando Bassa and intercept the retreat route of the Eastern Route Army of the Gallian Army, it will be a great achievement. I'm sure it will be soon."

Jeander still wore his swaggering gold-rimmed glasses and said flatteringly

"But...... Is there really no problem this time? You know, we've been repelled twice by these damn Galia animals, and we're ...... if we go on like this."

Zhistov was a little frightened by this difficult group of Landobasa troops.

"I'm afraid it's hard to have any more problems this time. ”

Jean Del pushed his glasses and continued

"Judging from the confessions we received from the prisoners captured in our last attack, the regular army of Gallia in Lando Bassa has only one brigade, and the rest are militiamen, a rabble with no combat experience. There was nothing to boast about, except for two more special tanks. ”

Jean Del said confidently

Moreover, according to the confessions of the captives, the strength of the other side was less than 10,000, which was added to the large number of motley rabble. It is not a threat to us at all. ”

Jeander was right, this is also the reason why the enemy attack was clearly thwarted last time, but Karl did not order the pursuit, because he knew that if he pursued, it would only be the Gallia army that would be defeated.

"Hey--blame me, if we had concentrated on the breakthrough from the beginning instead of doing something to sweep forward, where would there have been such losses, if we had been more resolute last time to resist the opponent's counterattack, maybe the enemy would have collapsed. ”

Whenever he remembered his two consecutive errors in judgment and command, Zhistov was annoyed.

"Division Commander, this is not like you. ”

Jeander refers to admitting one's mistakes.

"Haha~ It was at the conference, not in private. If I didn't know how to think, how could I get into it now?"

Zhistov smiled bitterly, and then began to give orders

"The whole division, so the combat units began to assemble towards the northern highlands of the Galian Army. The second and fourth wings attacked, and the third wing responded. Concentrate on attacking! We must concentrate on attacking! This time we will not engage in any offensive one by one. Give it to me! Give it to me one wing at a time!"

"Then our flanks ......"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there a fourth division? They have 30,000 men, twice as many as we do, and they are well equipped and placed on the flanks to scare those Galia militiamen to death!"

"This is also true, seeing such a large number and such advanced equipment, the militia of Lianggalia do not dare to detour our ......"

It's a pity that the wishful thinking of the two tragedies was wrong again......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"The key to encircling the enemy this time is to first attract all the main forces of the enemy's Sixth Division to the city of Lando Bassa, and then close the door and fight the dogs, completely trapping the enemy in the narrow space between the city and the north bank of the river. Finally, give it annihilation. ”

Speaking to the officers in the room, Karl spoke his thoughts.

"But in this case, our interspersed troops will have to pass through the enemy's Fourth Division's defense area in order to surround the Sixth Division, not to mention whether we can destroy the enemy's Sixth Division, it will be very difficult to break through the defense line of the Fourth Division alone. ”

Mosed said, pointing to the map of the 4th Division, which was stationed near the eastern shoals

"According to the report of the observation post, here the 4th Division is stationed two wings and a brigade of chariot troops, the opponent's fortifications are well dug, at first glance it is a unit with excellent individual quality, and the opponent has built a machine gun position on the bank of the river to prevent infantry raids. And ......"

He pulled out another hydrogeology book and placed it on the table.

"I also checked the hydrological characteristics of the Reims River, which has risen in recent times with the arrival of the rainy season, and the hydrological conditions here will be sufficient for the passage of chariots in the coming week. That's why the local people are relieved to put the military camp under our noses. Their camp was very poorly built, and it happened to be in the dead end of our artillery, and unless they retreated a kilometer or our artillery could not do anything to them. ”

is worthy of being a bull from the Wehrmacht, this is for logic, this is efficient, and I have investigated all these things in one night.

"Yes, yes, Commander, you see, you have placed all our artillery on the anticline, so that you can't reach the enemy's camp at all! I know it's safe, but my cannons can't hit the enemy!"

This unsteady voice is that Shchervana's gun. Apparently he was anxious about the lack of energy for the cannon.

"What's the hurry, where can your cannon get now?"

Karl wasn't in a hurry.

"You can only get to the northern highlands, the edge of the defensive formation on the northern front, and the entire city of Lando Barsa. ”

Shcherwana said truthfully

"That's enough. Now we just have to hold on. ”

"Report to the commander! The enemy's artillery bombardment of the northern heights has stopped, and now the units of at least two wings of the enemy are moving in the direction of the heights, and the enemy attack has begun!"

"Come on, it's finally here. The first round is on!"
