"Boom! boom!"

"Boom! boom!"

At the central defensive line, the vanguard of the 3rd Wing of the 6th Imperial Division met with stubborn resistance from the Gallian Army.

"Quick, speed up and don't stop, rush and keep rushing! until you reach the Reims Bridge!"

Flaso, the captain of the 1st Tank Brigade in the command car, shouted loudly.

The battle situation was very unsmooth from the beginning, first of all, when passing through the minefield, five combat vehicles were blown off their tracks by mines and could not move forward, and two of them were hit by heavy anti-tank mines and were directly scrapped.

Before breaking through the enemy's defensive line, one-tenth of its combat strength had already been lost, which was really undeserved......

Before the war, he asked the wing commander why he didn't wait for the mine-clearing work to finish before attacking, because the casualties would be much smaller, but the wing commander said that this was the intention of the division commander, and he had to attack immediately, and there was no way, and he had to do it reluctantly......

However, they were not out of the question, they let the soldiers work in groups of 8 people, sit in tanks, and pass through minefields, which can greatly reduce casualties......

Judging from the results, it is okay, after passing through the minefield, the tank unit still retains ninety percent of its combat strength

"The enemy has no artillery cover! Let the infantry follow quickly!"

"Whoosh - Whoosh ——!"

"Boom!"

As soon as the chariot approached the first-line trench of the Gallian army, two Gallian soldiers carrying rockets came out of the trench, and the Imperial chariot next to him was two shots.

"Boom!"

After a rocket hit the front of the tank, it exploded in a short time.

The air wave also spread to the captain's car next to it.

"Tell the infantry to go down and clear the enemy!"

The commander was so anxious that he shouted, and it was no wonder that the skin of Balebin's chariot was so thin that it would have been good ten years ago, but now it is ...... It's almost a cup, and it can't stop individual rockets, Gallia's infantry guns, and Union trench artillery...... In short, an anti-tank weapon can threaten her within 500 meters, but fortunately, the effective firing distance of individual rockets is only 150 meters, otherwise this kind of tank will not come out and mix.

Receiving the captain's order, the infantry on the car got out of the car one after another and began to suppress the Gallian army in the trenches.

Although half of the soldiers of the 6th Division were recruits who had been newly replenished for less than 8 months, it was enough to bully the regular army of Galia, which had always been depressed, and after a while, the Galia army in the trenches began to retreat

"Hmph, cowardly Galia, give an order to the whole brigade, don't care about the Galia pigs on both sides of the road, we will rush directly to the bridge under the cover of the infantry!"

Through the window of the car, Frasso saw that the infantry behind him had followed and began to attack the infantry line of the Gallian army, so he was very relieved to hand over the mess in the rear to the infantry, and continued to advance with the chariot brigade and accompanying infantry......

—————————— Eastern Highland Artillery Observation Post——————————

"Damn! Why don't you let the artillery fire?! The enemy has already rushed through the minefield! Now they have all rushed through a defensive line! No! I want to call!"

Captain Shervana, the leader of the artillery squadron on the position, has been observing the enemy's movements on the eastern and central fronts through the periscope of the observation post, and although the enemy in the east has arrived at the minefield, he has not been in a hurry to attack, but has begun to clear mines and build artillery positions in a large area, making preparations for the attack, and there is no movement on the western front, except for the middle road, where the enemy's mechanized troops are quickly interspersed with their own first-line defense line! The second line of defense has already begun......

But now the call from the headquarters has not yet come......

"I can't help it!

"Jingle bell!"

A frustrated Shchervana was about to ask the communicator to call the headquarters when the phone rang

"Hey, I'm Shchervana. Yes, Commander!"

"Captain Shervana, it's time for you to make a move, concentrate your artillery fire on the infantry cluster of the enemy's 3rd Wing!"

Karl's sonorous voice came from the phone

"Commander, the enemy's armored forces have rushed through the first line of defense, should we stop them with artillery fire now?!"

Isn't it incomprehensible that Shchervana, who stayed in the observation post and had an insight into the overall situation, was a little confused, seeing that the second line of defense was about to be broken through by the enemy's armored forces, and the commander actually asked the artillery to strike at the enemy's infantry first?!

"Commander, this"

"Execute the order!"

“...... Yes, concentrate artillery fire on the infantry units of the enemy's 3rd Wing, immediately executed. ”

Putting down the phone, Servana didn't understand a hundred times, but as a good soldier, he still knew how to obey orders......

"Alright, little ones, you've rested long enough! Now it's time for the big guys to eat! Aim at the infantry behind the enemy and give me a hard shot!"

——————————————————————————————

"Boom, boom!"

The Galia artilleryman, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, and the 10 field guns adjusted the firing angle and shelling coordinates, pouring angry flames towards the emperor, and the shells went around the top of the hill and fell in an arc and landed in the infantry charging team of the emperor in front of the first-line position......

Emperor ** did not expect that the Gallian Army, which has always lacked artillery, would place artillery here, and listen to the movement at least a squadron!

The emperor on the front line was caught off guard, and a large number of people were blown away by the first round of accurate shelling

Discovering that the enemy had artillery support, the offensive stopped instantly, and the soldiers looked for cover to avoid the shells, and the Gallia army on the front line got the opportunity to reorganize the defensive line......

The infantry brigade reported that they were attacked by the enemy's intensive artillery fire when they broke through the enemy's first line of defense, and now the offensive has been forced to slow down, and for the time being, it is impossible to completely break through the enemy's first line of defense. ”

The communicator wanted to report to the commander

"What?!How is this possible?!Why haven't they broken through the first line of defense?!Aren't our infantry already catching up?!"

According to past experience, as long as the infantry and chariot units break through the enemy's defensive line, then the defenders who have lost their defensive advantage and rely on terrain and fortifications will voluntarily abandon the defensive line, especially when the attacker has an absolute numerical superiority, and now the regular army of Gallia on the first line has less than two squadrons, and the strength of the attack on their own side is a semi-infantry brigade, (half a brigade and chariots follow,) the own side obviously has an overwhelming numerical superiority, and the enemy can only rely on the trenches, which will be attacked by his own infantry after he has just broken through the defensive line......

"The other side is relying on trenches and fortifications to resist step by step!

The communicator continued to want to report to the captain.

"What?fortification?!"

"The 2nd Infantry Brigade reported that the trenches dug by the enemy this time were not a straight line, but a new type of interrelated and independent positions based on friendly and neighboring positions, and that the troops could not widen the gap after breaking through one of the defensive lines of the people, and that the enemy's artillery attacks hindered the offensive speed of the follow-up troops, and now the front-line troops were engaged in a fierce trench battle with the enemy!

Hearing that the battle situation on the side of the infantry brigade did not seem to be optimistic, even the communicator sweated nervously

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, as long as we break through all the enemy's defense lines north of the Reims River, and then let our accompanying infantry and chariots get stuck in the heart of the enemy, the enemy's entire Hebei defense system will collapse under the blow of our army, and now the front line is stuck in a stalemate, and if it goes on, it must be our emperor who wins!"

The captain's judgment is correct, the morale of the regular army of Galia has always been not very good, as long as it is to fight morale and endurance, the Galia army will definitely not fight the emperor**

'As long as we break through the enemy's last line of defense, everything will turn out in our favor!'

The captain thought so

So the 1st Chariot Brigade of the 3rd Wing of the Emperor and the accompanying infantry passed towards the Reims Bridge at a faster speed......

——————————————————————————————

"Report! The third line of defense of the regular army has been broken through by the enemy's tank troops! The enemy army is advancing towards our fourth line of defense!"

In the operational conference room of the city defense headquarters, the atmosphere was very tense, and everyone's hearts were sweating

The enemy's offensive was fierce, and the enemy in the center, led by chariot units and accompanied by infantry, broke through in a very short time the three lines of defense carefully arranged by the regular army, and were now moving towards the fourth and last line of defense of the regular army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, use the chariot troops, as long as the chariot troops are used now, you will definitely be able to repel the enemy's attack. ”

One of the combat staff officers hesitated, then suggested to Karl.

"No, it's not the time yet. ”

Karl lay on the table very calmly, holding his chin in his hand, and waited quietly......

Waiting for the time to come......

Carl Gilman. Where are you guy?!" At this moment, the voice of Karl's most hated officer came from the door.

"Is it Major Rhesh? Let him in. ”

Karl frowned slightly, a hint of anger in his eyes

"Mr. Gilman, you said that our regular army is at the forefront, but you don't equip us with artillery, and second, you don't equip us with chariots, so that our regular army relies on ......"

"Why are you here?!"

Karl interrupted Rasse's rambling speech and looked at him coldly, he hated this intriguing fellow so much, and the reason why he came here Karl could think of it with his toes

'Either scared or coming to seize power'

So he didn't even want to give Lai Shi a chance to speak, and stood up directly from his seat,

"Pong!"

He pulled out his black dagger and left it on the table

"Go back to your post, Garya doesn't need deserters. ”

Karl coldly warned him

"What?!, you have only been here for less than a week, how dare you ...... Hah!"

Lyce, who wanted to continue speaking, could no longer speak, because the black dagger on the table had been stuck in his throat......

"I'm sorry, bullets can't be wasted for a waste like yours, so I'll grieve my dagger, I hope your dirty blood doesn't insult her. ”

Coldly looking at Lys, who was lying on the ground with his limbs twitching and his face full of incredulity and shock, Karl crouched down and pulled the dagger out of his neck

"Poof!"

Blood splattered all over the floor

"Poof!"

He stabbed him in the chest again.

Now, Lai Shi is completely out of gas......

Seeing this scene, everyone in the headquarters was stunned

It's not that Galia hasn't executed officers and soldiers who have escaped from the battlefield, but with the collusion of the top and officers, this has become less and less......

If a guy like Ras escapes from his post, if he is replaced by Browder, he may not even care...... But Carl actually killed him with a knife...... He killed so neatly and without hesitation...... It's shocking

Actually, even I was a little shocked. ’

Over the past few days, Karl had killed twenty of them with his own hands, and each of them, with the exception of the first two who had been killed with grenades, was killed by hand-to-hand combat.

Even Carl himself could clearly feel the change in himself for a few days......

I have become cold-blooded and cold-blooded......

'Hopefully this doesn't endanger my important people'

Wiped the blood clean, retracted his dagger, and ordered the orderlies to wipe the corpses and blood away, Karl watched the officers in the room with some frightened eyes......

"And then there are the escapees, the same as this one. ”

Despite the cold sweat on the officers' heads, Karl continued to deploy his troops and fight

"Give me the 4th Squadron of the Regular Army (the squadron stationed in the 4th line of defense). ”

The call was answered immediately

"Hey, this is the headquarters, Captain Andrew, from now on you are the acting captain of the regular army brigade, and Major Ris has been punished on the spot for escaping.

Now that the enemy is about to reach your defense, you have to understand your mission and hold the last line of defense, and I will send the 3rd Militia Brigade to support you...... That's right, everything was planned unchanged and according to the original plan...... That's right, I'll call the artillery now to divert the firing, and when the enemy reaches the predetermined position, all the shells of our army will be smashed into the enemy's armored units at the first time, and at the same time as the shelling begins, the anti-tank artillery squadron and RPG squad will give me a desperate fight Don't save ammunition! After the shelling is over, the whole army will take the tank squadron as the vanguard, the regular army as the accompaniment, the third militia brigade as the rearguard, and the northern army as the countermeasure, and launch a full-scale counteroffensive on the central front!"
