Chapter 5: Prepare for a White-Knuckle Battle!

"Captain!

A soldier with a bandage on his head reported to the group leader

"Where?!"

"On the left flank!"

On the left flank of the position, in the western section of the defensive line, in the saddle between the two heights in the north, the forces of the Emperor's first brigade continued to advance after passing through the artillery fire of the Galia Army, and with the help of the 4th Division's accurate artillery cover and barrage covering fire, the brief confusion of the Galian Army caused by the gunless fire cover and the sight obstruction caused by the smoke and dust, were about to rush to the ridge defense line.

That part is the weak point of the Gallia army's defense line, on the anti-slope plane of the shooting in the eastern highlands, the effect of artillery fire coverage is poor, and the terrain is relatively gentle, a fully manned brigade of the emperor ** still has half a brigade left after the strict artillery blockade and the attack of Gallia machine gun fire, about 500 people, while the Gallia army has only one squadron of less than 200 people in this defense line.

"Still grenades!"

Seeing that the enemy had rushed to a point less than 50 meters from the defensive line, the squadron leader howled loudly

More than a hundred soldiers skillfully threw out the unscrewed cap pull wire of the grenade, which had long been placed at their side.

"Boom! boom!"

One round,

"Boom! boom!"

"Another round"

Under a dense grenade strike,

Nearly 100 emperors** fell in front of the position, but that was the end of it

"Bump Bump Tu Tu!"

"Tutu Tu Tu!"

There were still nearly 100 people who braved the covering fire and grenades on both flanks of the Gallian army and rushed to the position and began to return fire.

"Lie down! Rely on the fortifications to cover!"

Although the emperor ** rushed to the high ground, but the Galian army still occupied the terrain and positional advantage, the left and right flank of the Galian army troops began to move here, and the machine gun positions on the flank also began to turn around and strafe the emperor ** who rushed into the defensive line.

"Knock knock knock!"

The sound of the heavy machine gun was continuous and calm, throwing out one bullet shell after another, and Galia's suppressive barrage still suppressed the emperor ** at the outermost periphery of the defense line, unable to rush into the core position.

"Very good! Let the machine-gun fire on both flanks be suppressed!

Seeing that the enemy in the middle saddle was finally contained, the captain was about to breathe a sigh of relief......

"Boom, boom!"

A wave of air swept Baral into the air.

"Ahem!"

It took a long time for Barral, who was a little dazed by the shells, to come to his senses and find that the position was constantly exploding...... The emperor intensified the artillery bombardment.

"Is the emperor crazy?!Their people have already leaned close to our position!"

Emperor ** is indeed crazy enough, as far as the artillery cover of the Gallian army is 200 meters in front of the defense line, it stops, and the emperor ** ...... Now their infantry had rushed to the front of the position, and were firing at the Galian army, and they were actually using artillery fire at this time...... It's insane!

"Boom!"

Another shell landed on the position, shattering one of the soldiers.

An arm fell in front of Barral.

"And it's a 105mm howitzer!"

Just when the positions of the entire Gallian Army were once again under heavy artillery bombardment, the forward troops of the eastern and western fronts of the Emperor also seized the opportunity and immediately launched an offensive.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The artillery fire of Galia was also fierce, and the distance of the shelling was less than 100 meters to the front-line position......

The offensive route of the emperor's follow-up troops was blocked, the second echelon had not yet formed a formation, and it was still at the foot of the mountain, and it would take time to rush to the position, and the most important thing was ......

The attacking and defending sides of the entire hilltop position can only deploy the strength of one brigade. More is to send targets to the opponent's artillery and machine-gun fire. Increase casualties in vain, especially among the artillery! Once the formation of the troops is stretched too tightly, it is simply a game of bowling, one by one.

So the follow-up units of the 2nd and 4th wings stopped at the foot of the less.

They tried just now, but here the artillery of the Galia Army could not hit it. Because the Gallia army has placed all its artillery on the anticline of the eastern highlands. At most, it can only hit the mountainsides in the northern highlands.

Now, the artillery fire of the emperor ** did not hesitate to injure his own people to suppress the firepower of Galia. Galya's artillery fire blocked the advance route of the second echelon, and at the risk of potentially injuring friendly troops, it began to cover the infantry of the first echelon that had already attacked the first-line position.

Half of the 500-strong brigade of the first-line army of the Galia Army organized the defense by relying on the terrain, and the two brigades of the first-line army of the emperor with more than half of the casualties were 1,000 people to organize the attack with the help of artillery fire and personnel advantages.

Both sides had the upper hand, and both suffered heavy casualties under the enemy's artillery fire...... Machine guns, grenades, explosions, counterfire...... Both sides exchanged fire under artillery fire...... Casualties are on the rise......

Both sides in the positions understood that under such heavy artillery fire, no one could retreat...... Only by completely destroying the other party...... Victory can come, and only then can we live.

Thereupon......

"Second Wing!

"Fourth Wing! Charge!"

The first to be impatient was the emperor, their casualties continued to increase and decrease under the blow of light artillery fire from the machine guns of the Gallia army, they did not have enough cover, they were exposed to firepower, and their ability to resist artillery fire was worse than that of the Gallia army.

So, they went crazy!

"Kill !!"

"Rush!!"

"Kill !!"

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

The emperor ** soldiers in gray military uniforms had long been tortured by the artillery fire and machine gun fire along the way, and now they just wanted to rush forward quickly and fight a dignified decisive battle with the Galians!

'Rush up!Rush up!Tear the Galia apart!Rush up, the damned machine guns and artillery of the Galian army won't be able to eat!'

Thereupon...... The soldiers of the emperor climbed up from the ground under artillery fire and rushed towards the core position of the Gallian army, which was close at hand......

A ...... alone Two people...... Soon, all the emperor's ** soldiers were ignited by this nameless karmic fire, shouting the slogan of killing the enemy and rushing over.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Artillery stop firing!" "Artillery stop firing!"

Seeing that the emperor ** had already rushed into the position, the artillery of the two armies ordered the shelling to stop almost simultaneously.

The roaring earth fell silent in an instant.

Except for the two machine guns that had not yet been damaged by the intensive artillery fire, which were still announcing their existence, the entire position fell silent for a while......

The sky was full of gunsmoke and dust, and the position was shrouded in smoke......

In the smoke, it was the shouting of the emperor's ** soldiers gradually approaching, through the smoke and dust...... The gray military uniform of the emperor ** is already faintly visible......

Now it's time to compete with each other's will to fight!

"All the Galia Army! Raise a steel shovel! Prepare for a white-knuckle battle!"
