Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 53 The Battle for the Coastline (1)

In order to strengthen the cooperation between the army and the Academy of Sciences, Philenolle needed to be personally in charge of this aspect in the early days, because she was the only one who had enough prestige in the army to suppress some discontent, and in the Academy of Sciences she could use her royal status to ask the scientists to cooperate as much as possible.

So part of the command of the front fell on Kimchi's head. Kimchi took his own line to the headquarters of the coastal defense line.

These clans are all elites who initially survived the battle with Kimchi's training, and because of the spiritual link, the trust between them is very high.

With the improvement of the spiritual link of the Tantric Research Institute, there is no longer a need for Kimchi to bear too much impact as the dominant body, and the current ordinary shrunken version of the Unified Knights no longer needs a center.

But this made the part of the veterans who had the initial spiritual connection and are now in the middle class cherish each other even more, and faintly formed a group, and this group was headed by Kimchi.

It's just that Kimchi doesn't know because he is now in the Kingdom of Rothschild.

These descendants are all commanders of the Knights, and after the baptism of war, they are naturally better at commanding than those military cadets who have not been on the battlefield.

As for the situation in the Southern Loya Empire, they and the staff soon came to a rough conclusion, that is, there was still a debate within the empire about whether to launch a full-scale attack.

This is a rare opportunity, the front line immediately adjusts, rotates troops every day to train troops in actual combat, and the wartime of the rear can slow down and avoid some losses caused by hasty actions.

Kimchi stood in the fortress observation room on the front line, calmly facing the enemy's routine shelling. He had long been afraid of these things, and now he was using this newly repaired observation room to roughly judge the enemy's shelling pattern and prepare for the future battle.

Kirsten has combined some of the technology of the Esoteric Research Institute with the technology of the Rothel Kingdom, and has begun to experimentally produce a group of unified knights with the characteristics of the Rothel Kingdom.

Of course, neither the Holy Nation Military Department nor the current Combined Knights can fully simulate the power of the knights controlled by the Grey Pupil Qualified.

At this time, the people who stood behind Kimchi in the face of enemy shelling and recorded data were all Kimchi's relatives, and these people would not be afraid of shelling and even ridiculed the accompanying Rothesmine officers.

Today's defensive mission is the newly formed 36th Division, and half of the middle-level officers in the unit are promoted from among the veterans to accept their orders, so it is very suitable to help the new batch of knights of the United Knights in actual combat training.

The new knights, while inheriting the rich heavy industry style of cheap and easy to repair that is characteristic of Rothschild, used the technology of the Esoteric Research Institute in the delicate components, engine craftsmanship, and alchemy matrix inscriptions.

Moreover, there are improvements in software such as sighting systems, observation systems and communication systems.

Therefore, this new batch of knights now needs higher operation skills and cooperation, because of the increase in cost, so they cannot rely on the number of piles to pile up elite operators.

Now, the two-week training of the rider operators is about to undergo combat training.

With the help of the Thirty-Sixth Division, it should be able to control the intensity of the battle encountered by the Knights, but just in case, there is also a Knights on standby, ready to assist the front-line troops.

The war has been going on for more than a month, and the possibility of a full-scale attack by the South Loya Empire is growing. Kimchi felt something was wrong today, so he not only left the observation room and went to the forefront of the field command, but also took a large group of elite knights.

Sure enough, the Imperial Air Force, which had not approached the near sea for a long time, launched a large-scale attack.

One by one, the defensive alchemy matrix was activated, protecting the ground positions of the coastal defense line, and the air defense forces were urgently ready for combat.

The enemy's vanguard swooped down from a height of 10,000 meters, so the Rothier Kingdom's air vigilance force did not detect the enemy before the attack.

The accompanying alchemist covered Kimchi's group into the underground fortifications, where Kimchi began to redeploy the defenders of the defensive line.

In this month's fighting, Kimchi had already accumulated enough prestige among the front-line troops, plus the sharpest sharp knife on the defensive line was now in his hands, so Kimchi's command did not encounter any resistance, and all the officers automatically cooperated.

Soon the new operational arrangements were rushed out, and the communications corps immediately began their own work.

The 64th Division, as a reserve force, will immediately begin to go to the front line through the underground fortification group to resist the first wave of the Southern Loya Empire with the 36th Division.

The 54th and 32nd Divisions, repaired in the rear, will come to the front with more supplies after an hour of urgent preparation.

The 3rd and 5th Panzer Divisions immediately began to prepare for battle, and as soon as the enemy had a tendency to break through the defensive line or establish a bridgehead, they immediately launched an active attack on the enemy with the Combined Knights.

Of course, if the enemy temporarily seizes air supremacy over the defensive line, then the armored forces need to change the original battle plan and enter the defensive line as a mobile fire fortress to help the front-line troops hold the defensive line until the air supremacy is recaptured.

The wrecked airships began to fall in thick black smoke, and the air defense positions had to divide their firepower to break up the falling behemoths and avoid their main parts from falling directly on the positions.

These huge rapid-fire guns designed to deal with air boats were expensive to build, and there was no way to cover the entire defensive line, so some marginal positions were fortunate enough to contain these aerial behemoths with their own bodies.

The mushroom cloud created by the detonation of the airship's ammunition depot can be observed even from several kilometers away.

The fighting in the air was fierce, and the chaotic radio signals even interfered with the normal operation of ground communications.

As our air force and the enemy's air force came together, the air defense positions on the ground stopped attacking and began to seize the time to replace the barrels, repair the damaged parts of the positions, replenish ammunition, and carry the wounded and dead.

Only those huge anti-airboat guns continue to operate. Rescuers on the ground entered the still burning wreckage of the airship in the hope of finding survivors.

However, some civilian airship accidents in the past have forced them to prepare for only the remains of the body.

However, the military airship has a stronger structure and has been protected by the alchemy matrix, so the rescuers still found some seriously injured survivors when clearing the rubble, and these people were quickly taken to the rear hospital for treatment.

The battle in the air lasted for three hours, and ended in a crushing victory for the Rothschild Kingdom Air Force, the enemy had no way to carry out a large-scale air attack, and the Kingdom Air Boat Fleet had no spare strength to support the ground forces.

After several rounds of short but heavy shelling, the enemy's landing craft began to move towards the coastline. Some of the recruits in the front-line troops were distracted by the enemy's tactical artillery bombardment, and had to send people to drag these in-combat soldiers from the front-line positions to the rear.

War psychologists are ready for psychological treatment.

The artillery of our positions began to shell the enemy's landing craft, and the heavy machine guns and machine guns on the enemy's boats could not threaten the artillery units located in the fortress, so there was no counterattack.

Through layers of fire and through loose mines, the landing craft finally rammed into the beach, and heavy machine guns and machine guns began to suppress the infantry fortresses of our defensive line.

The cyborg soldier begins to charge through the jungle of obstacles under a hail of bullets.

The enemy's counterattack, with the help of an accurate aiming system, made the recruits afraid to shoot at the enemy even if they were hiding behind the fortress's thick defenses, as some soldiers had already been killed by enemy attacks that had been fired into the fortress's firing window.

There was no way, the veteran could only roar and forcibly order the recruits to resist the pressure and continue to fight back.

Soon the enemy had already rushed to the blind spot of the fortress's vision, and with the sound of explosions, a gap appeared in the front line of defense, and the enemy began to storm the second line of defense along this gap.

The coastal line of defense so far has a total of five lines, the first of which consists of infantry fortresses, mines and barbed wire.

The second line of defense consisted of ten fortresses as support points, and a standard four-line trench line was constructed.

The third line of defense was formed by shelling the fortress, which required the help of additional armored mobile forces.

The fourth line of defense has touched some of the towns where the fishermen live, so a large number of heavy artillery units and shelling alchemy matrices have been deployed here, and the surrounding towns have been fortified.

The fifth line of defense can no longer be counted as a line of defense, this is the rear of the coastal line, where supplies are stored and the seriously wounded are treated, and only a brigade of soldiers is there to maintain order.

It was to be expected that the first line of defense would be breached, but until the scale of the enemy's attack was clear, the second line of defense would not allow for a breach in any case.

The Combined Knights launched a counterattack against the enemy pouring in from the gap, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, they successfully blocked the gap and covered the sappers to build fortifications here.

The mortar units on the second line of defense adjusted their firing and carried out covered shelling of the beach, temporarily clearing the enemy from the beach.

At this time, there were already more than a thousand casualties on the defensive line, and according to the past, the attack of the South Luoya Empire should be almost over today.

As a result, the piercing sound of breaking the air shattered some people's illusions, and the fleet of the South Loya Empire once again carried out an artillery bombardment.

The coastal artillery of the Rothiel Kingdom could not attack the shelling fleet of the Southern Loya Empire, so they could only grit their teeth and wait for the upgrading of the rear academy.

After the shelling, the enemy launched a larger landing offensive, and this time it was no longer the same petty fighting as before.

Armored amphibious landing ships came to the coastal waters under our artillery fire, and then released one amphibious tank after another and amphibious landing ships.

Several gaps appeared in the first line of defense after just over ten minutes of contact with the enemy, and it was impossible to plug all of them even if all the knights of the Combined Knights present were sent out.

Kimchi, who was directing the battle on the second line of defense, was immediately persuaded to retreat to the fortress headquarters of the third line of defense.

The armored forces immediately entered the second line of defense and prepared to storm the enemy on the first line of defense.

During this time, the four infantry divisions and two armored divisions that had rushed to support them from the rear were all deployed on the second and third lines of defense.
