Chapter 9: Offensive and Defensive Battles (I)
After the end of the tentative attack, the Imperial Army did not launch an attack immediately, although he was very confident that he could defeat or destroy the current enemy, but Major Adams did not despise the enemy's habit, and his 505th Light Armored Battalion hurriedly came into battle, the soldiers did not get rest, the equipment was not overhauled, and it was very unwise to launch a large-scale attack immediately, so Major Adams planned to rest for one night and start the attack again tomorrow morning, and at the same time he called the deputy battalion commander, the staff officer of the battalion headquarters and the four company commanders under his command to study together to eliminate Ouyang Yu's army with fewer casualties。
Ouyang Yu was not idle, taking advantage of the precious time of the imperial army's rest, let the second and third platoons that took over the hills on both sides step up the construction offensive, and with the help of the two mercenary groups of Bald Eagle and Polar Bear, they dug out three trenches overnight, which were integrated with the trenches in the middle position, greatly increasing their own combat effectiveness.
The leaders of the two mercenary groups, Bald Eagle and Polar Bear, after seeing the strong combat effectiveness of Ouyang Yu's river crab mercenary group, expressed their willingness to obey Ouyang Yu's command in this battle, the world of mercenary groups is very realistic, and it is normal for the weak to obey the strong, in the eyes of the mercenaries.
Although the mercenaries of the two mercenary groups are all war scumbags in Ouyang Yu's opinion, but the war five scum also have the use of war five scum, as long as they are used properly, it will also help the battle, Ouyang Yu thought about it for a while and decided to change the clothes of the two mercenary groups.
The mercenary weapons of the two mercenary groups of Bald Eagle and Polar Bear are too poor, and the clothes are all messy civilian clothes, all of which have been changed into gray German military uniforms from the First World War, and the old antique magic crystal rifles in their hands have also been replaced with Mauser K98K rifles, the cohesion and morale of the mercenaries have been greatly improved, in order to distinguish them from the soldiers under Ouyang Yu, the military uniforms and armbands of the mercenaries have been replaced with the symbols of various mercenary groups.
Ouyang Yu's change of clothes for the mercenaries is not free, the two leaders need to pay, but Ouyang Yu allows them to give a nine-percent discount after the credit, this is not Ouyang Yu's kindness, in fact, her intentions are very insidious, the weapons used by the mercenaries, if they don't buy bullets in the future, they will all become waste, and all mercenary groups that use her weapons will have to buy bullets from her in the future, when the time comes, which mercenary group will be disobedient, sell or not, how much to sell, how much to sell, how much to sell the bullets? It depends on her mood, so that all the mercenary groups that use Ouyang Yu's weapons are invisibly controlled by her, and the method of using arms to control mercenary groups is often used by major countries or arms dealers on the earth, Ouyang Yu is just learning and selling.
The morning sun rose to dispel the darkness and bring warmth to the earth, but it could not dispel the murderous aura on the fifth position, the smoke of breakfast on the Imperial army's position had been extinguished, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army, who had eaten and drunk enough, began to prepare for the attack in their formations under the shouts of their respective commanders.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
At the beginning of the attack, it was still artillery bombardment as usual, and the six magic crystal cannons of the Imperial Army bombarded the three positions on Ouyang Yu's side for more than half an hour, bombarding the surface of the trenches on both sides and the middle position that had just been dug last night.
The mercenary groups hiding in the anti-artillery holes did not have their usual panic this time, although they were still a little worried that the anti-artillery holes they were hiding in would be blown down, but compared to the previous shelling, at least they did not have to worry that they would be hit by shells.
"Beep......!"
A sharp whistle sounded, which meant that the enemy was approaching after the shelling, and the mercenaries hiding in the anti-artillery holes hurriedly left and returned to their positions to wait for the commander's order to shoot.
In Ouyang Yu's telescope, the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army, hiding behind ten tanks, were slowly approaching, Major Adams learned the mistake of the tentative attack, and no longer let all the soldiers advance in a horizontal formation, but used a column to hide behind the tanks, so that the machine guns on Ouyang Yu's side wanted to kill and wound as many enemies as possible.
This time, Ouyang Yu's tactics were still to attack the infantry, so that the tanks and infantry were disjointed and broke through, and the first to attack was the four mortars in the third position.
"The target is 2,200 meters away, one test shot, put!"
With a whistling sound, the four largest charges of ** fell near the queue of soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army, because the accuracy of the test fire was not very good, only one of the four shells accurately fell in the middle of the enemy soldiers, causing seven or eight enemy soldiers to be killed and wounded.
"The second artillery is adjusted to the left by ten meters, the third artillery is adjusted to the right by seven meters, and five rapid fires are fired, release!"
After the rearmament, the four mortars were tilting the shells at a rate of fifteen rounds per minute, and the soldiers of the two armies were constantly screaming, and the human stumps continued to fly into the air and then returned to the ground under the action of gravity, and the surviving soldiers scattered and quickly crawled down to avoid the shells falling from the sky.
"Order Lieutenant Fury to destroy the enemy's magic crystal cannon for me, or he will be court-martialed for him!"
Looking at the soldiers who were constantly killed and injured by the ** explosion, Major Adams's heart was dripping blood, he didn't care how many soldiers of the servant army died, but he would feel distressed when the soldiers of the imperial army were killed or injured.
Fury was very embarrassed at noon when he received the artillery ordered by Major Adams, Ouyang Yu's four mortars he had already discovered, and the mortar position was his key target in the artillery bombardment before the attack, he thought that the four mortars had already been destroyed in the fierce shelling for more than half an hour, but he did not expect that the other party was not only unscathed, but gave his infantry great casualties.
"Target enemy magic crystal cannon, shoot!"
The Imperial Army's six magic crystal cannons turned their muzzles and fired fire burst magic crystal shells at the position where the mortars were located, and the mortar positions were instantly shrouded in fire and smoke.
Ouyang Yu's four mortars are all hiding in the underground position up to two meters deep, the overall shape is similar to the emboss, the mortar is at the top of the emboss, unless the Imperial Army also has a high ballistic curved fire magic crystal cannon like a mortar, otherwise if you want to destroy these four mortars hidden deep underground, it is simply impossible to rely on only those six cannons that can only fire flat, and there is no magic crystal cannon similar to mortars in this world, Lieutenant Fury can only use a large number of shells to suppress it.
Although the positions of the four mortars were heavily shelled, the soldiers operating the four mortars still fired shells in an orderly manner, not at all worried that they would be harmed, but the accuracy of the fire was greatly reduced due to the influence of smoke and dust.
"Ordered the artillery to transfer positions. ”
The six Imperial Army cannons in Ouyang Yu's telescope that were constantly firing made her good-looking eyebrows wrinkle together, those six cannons were too much of a threat to her side, but she had no way to eliminate those six cannons now, so she could only sulk aggrievedly.
After the mortar shelling was suspended, the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army stood up again, and the wounded soldiers were immediately sent back, and the intact soldiers continued to advance on the ground stained with the blood of their comrades, and after entering the four hundred meters, the six MG-08 heavy machine guns on the hills on both sides and the middle position opened fire together, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army fell down again, or hid behind the tanks.
Ten Imperial tanks stopped, and the turrets began to turn, aiming their guns at the machine guns that were firing.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
Ten fire-based burst magic crystal shells much smaller than cannons were fired from the muzzles of the ten tanks, and then exploded on the machine gun positions one after another, and the six machine guns ceased fire almost at the same time, but soon five resumed firing, and the fire of the Imperial tanks destroyed a machine gun in the middle position, not only the machine guns were destroyed, but the entire machine gun team was also killed, this was the first time that Ouyang Yu's soldiers suffered casualties.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
The tanks of the Imperial Army continued to shoot, although the distance of nearly four hundred meters made the firing accuracy of the ten tanks not too high, but after a few rounds of firing, the two heavy machine guns were destroyed again, so that Ouyang Yu had to order the remaining machine guns to pause firing and conceal them.
"Long live the Empire!"
Without mortars and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army jumped from the ground, shouting slogans and launched a charge.
"Call me!"
When he entered the two hundred meters, the rifle and submachine gun on Ouyang Yu's side opened fire at the same time, giving the soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army in the charge a blow, and the momentum of the charge slowed down.
Ouyang Yu's army is a temporary establishment of four or four systems, two submachine guns in a squad, three platoons are twenty-four submachine guns, the firepower of these twenty-four submachine guns is fully exerted within the effective firing range of two hundred meters, the enemy soldiers are shot down in rows with blood on their bodies, and the damage caused in a short period of time greatly exceeds that of heavy machine guns, so that hundreds of soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Norvi Kingdom Army are killed or wounded, and the remaining soldiers are suppressed more than 100 meters away from the position and dare not raise their heads.
The sudden burst of submachine gun fire made Major Adams almost vomit blood, Ouyang Yu's endless new weapons and powerful firepower on his side strengthened him, and he did whatever it took to destroy this mysterious enemy's will, he ordered the artillery to transfer part of the firepower to attack Ouyang Yu's army, and on the other hand, he ordered the tank to speed up and move forward, and use the small magic crystal cannon above to shoot accurately.
Although tanks also appeared in this world, the positioning of tanks in this world is similar to that of early tanks on Earth, and they are all positioned to support the infantry, not the main force of the attack, and are only used as mobile turrets.
"Finally approached, ordered the anti-tank crews to prepare. ”
The M191813.2mm anti-tank rifle in Ouyang Yu's hand showed its fangs at the slowly approaching tank.
