Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 56 The Battle for the Coastline (4)
Kimchi woke up from the coma, he was surprised to feel that his body with multiple fractures had completely recovered, and he touched his body with some disbelief, and even bit his tongue and felt a trace of pain before believing all this.
I can't tell that I just experienced a catastrophe.
It took him a while to notice Reinhardt and Veroya beside him.
"That, that... Before Kimchi could think of what to say, he was immediately interrupted by two people beside him. Viroya and Reinhardt walked outside directly with Kimchi, leaving him with little time.
The fighting on the ground has spread to the underground, where the underground fortifications are located, from which the seriously wounded are transported to the rear.
The area that has been lost in front needs to be closed by special means, and all kinds of useful materials and some communication needs to be evacuated from here.
So, now there is chaos on the ground, and there is chaos underground, and looking at the situation, the defenders are losing and retreating.
There is no way to do this, the Air Force does not come to help, and the enemy's reconnaissance planes can hover over the defenders with impunity, collect intelligence and then transmit it to the command in the rear to carry out a wave of precision strikes on the positions of the defenders.
This made the defenders' support firepower even weaker, and there was no way to compete with the enemy's support fire, and the infantry in the trenches had to attack the enemy in front of them with a sea of shells.
Fortunately, these small reconnaissance planes did not fly high, and the defenders urgently organized a group of anti-aircraft machine gun crews, which can be regarded as blocking these gadgets from the fourth line of defense, so that the heavy artillery can survive.
Finally, after running up and down and not knowing where to go, Kimchi was put down. Good guy, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to ask for an explanation, when he was immediately stuffed with a large orb, and then passed out directly.
By the time he woke up, he was in a control room.
What is this? Kimchi didn't understand for a while, looking at this control room according to the image of the cab he was familiar with, he found that it was not ordinary advanced, and he didn't know what almost all the equipment in it was for.
The glowing screen constantly flashed with data that Kimchi couldn't understand.
In other words, he didn't know how to control the mech.
However, this was expected by Viroya and Reinhardt, and they did not expect Kimchi to understand how to control this unified knight at once.
Metal wire after wire soon came out from under his seat, connecting to Kimchi's spinal cord before he could react. After a period of mental confusion, Kimchi found that he could control this unified knight.
However, the current situation is different from the general control, and now he seems to be a unified knight, and the vision constructed by the optical instrument reconstructs Kimchi's vision, and then he sees "himself", integrating the knight's armor.
Yes, Kimchi's consciousness occupies the central system of the unified knight, and now he is the unified knight.
It's not clear how this was done, but now is not the time to care about things that can't be explained in a short period of time.
Viroya quickly briefed Kimchi about the current battle on the defensive line, and the latter immediately began to contact the remaining knight forces to prepare for assembly.
The marshal, who was in the command headquarters with a headache about the battle situation, heard that Kimchi had woken up and received mecha support from the Holy Country, ready to lead the knights on the defensive line who could still fight to launch a counter-charge against the enemy.
Although it is not clear where Kimchi got his confidence, Marshal Alekevsky decided to fight and cut off the enemy's spearhead and break the Empire's attack.
The artillery unit received instructions from the command to quickly adjust the firing elements and reload the thermite bombs specially designed by the rear Academy of Sciences to kill and injure the robotic soldiers.
The thermite bomb will quickly spray red-hot thermite in all directions upon landing, piercing through the Cyborg Soldier's armor and destroying its internal structure.
The artillery began to sound the clarion call for the defenders' counteroffensive.
An armored unit that was ready to attack immediately took the initiative under the cover of Xu Jin's barrage, firmly attracting the enemy's attention.
Kimchi led a team of mixed knights that had been urgently cobbled together to launch a surprise attack from the enemy's flank, like a sharp spearhead piercing the enemy's heart.
The power of a true Unified Knight is extraordinary, and a sword forged by unknown technology can easily cut the Empire's heavy chariots in half.
For a moment, he was overwhelmed, making people wonder which side was the one who really had the advantage.
Although the empire deliberately prepared heavy armored forces in order to avoid the flank being breached, even so, a gap was quickly opened by Kimchi.
The knights behind Kimchi quickly stepped over the wreckage of chariots and mech soldiers, and rushed to both sides of the gap, continuing to expand the victory. The front command immediately decided to send all its reserves to launch a large-scale offensive against the gap.
The enemy reacted quickly, and the armored units in the rear immediately began to attack our spearhead units, while the troops near the gap abandoned their attacks on the frontal battlefield and concentrated on blocking our advance.
Soldiers follow each other, widening the breaches at all costs, fending off enemy counterattacks and using flesh and blood against steel creations.
When there was no longer an enemy in Kimchi's bloodshot eyes, the imperial forces had retreated like a tide, and one of the surviving knights quickly pulled the somewhat distracted Kimchi to the rear, and the enemy's fleet shelling could fall on his head at any time.
。
In the empty rearmament room, only a few broken steam armored knights were being repaired. Even the Unified Knight is a little traumatized and is under the maintenance of Reinhardt and Veroya, and it is impossible to use it again in the near future.
Although this counterattack made the enemy's attack come to naught today, the losses on the kingdom's side were still very heavy.
The Steam Armored Knights suffered almost all the casualties, almost all the armoured units were scattered, and the second and third lines of defense were completely abandoned.
The last retreating engineering units turned the place into a minefield. As soon as the soldier came to his new combat position, he immediately began to think about where he was.
Even so, if the enemy attacks again, it will be impossible for the defenders to hold on to what little force they have now.
Fortunately, Felenvianoer came to the coastal defense line on foot with a group of snow wolf knights at night.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, these snow wolf knights took a fast steam boat to decapitate the headquarters of the Southern Loya Imperial Army. At the cost of half the manpower, the command ship located at sea was completely destroyed, and the sky-high flames turned the night into day for a while.
The remnants of the Empire's commanders decided to abandon the attack on the kingdom of Rothel for the time being.
The Imperial forces, having lost their command, became rigid and were soon annihilated one by one by the defenders, and the lost coastal lines returned to the kingdom.
Although the outcome of the battle was very gratifying, the price paid for victory cannot be ignored.
The Combined Knights, which had spent a lot of resources and money to build, needed to start from scratch, and the new armored forces suffered heavy casualties, and even if the kingdom's factories were running at full capacity, it would take months to replenish the losses.
The kingdom's fleet, which launched a diversionary attack on the Imperial fleet, was wiped out, and every warship fought to the death.
Not to mention the precious snow wolf knights who died, as well as the countless army officers who were loyal to the royal family.
In this battle, the various non-cooperation of the navy and the air force further intensified the contradictions between the navy, land and air forces, and various forces began to attack each other frequently in the court.
Surprisingly, no one stepped forward to stop this behavior, and even sensitive people noticed that there seemed to be a pair of hands behind it that was quietly pushing all this forward.
The old king is playing a big chess game, revealing the contradictions that have been lurking within the army, and then he can solve all the troubles in one fell swoop.
I just don't know if he can get the results he wants. After all, the recent battle to defend the coastline has revealed that the King's faction has much less control over the navy and air force than he thought.
Or it was precisely because of this that the old king would rather cut off his own arm than solve this hidden danger once and for all.
Anyway, the current coastal defense line has not been affected by the political storm, and it has not been affected here. Fellianvinell took over the command and began to arrange for troops to clear the battlefield, gather supplies, and rebuild fortifications.
The medical staff in the rear came to the front line and set up a field hospital, began to treat the wounded, and carried the bodies for burial on the spot.
Kimchi fell into a coma again because of overload of mental consumption, and there was no way to wake up in a short time, so Felenvianoer simply asked Viroya and Reinhardt to return to the rear with Kimchi and the wounded.
Researchers at the Academy of Sciences have not stopped researching new war machines, and a large amount of technology has been excavated from them as the remains of the Imperial Cyborg soldiers have been delivered to their desks.
The latest version of the Steam Armored Knight was designed and immediately put into production. This new model makes use of the skeletal structure design of the cyborg soldiers from the South Loya Empire, as well as the technology of optical observation systems partially from the Holy Country.
Compared to the previous universal model, the new generation of riders has the characteristics of more flexibility and wider vision. In addition, modular production is used, which makes it easier to repair.
Kirsten temporarily took over the training of a new group of knights. Naturally, there are some small actions in this, and she hopes to be able to completely turn this force into her own to deal with possible accidents.
。
At this time, let's cast our eyes on the battlefield of the Rhine Kingdom and the Cang Dynasty in the distance.
In the days when the battle for the coastline took place, there were also extremely bloody clashes here.
Originally, the Cang Dynasty did not intend to use those long-sealed technologies, but with the development of the war, the Cang Dynasty changed its attitude, from the original desire to integrate into Middle-earth to let Middle-earth integrate into itself.
As a result, a large number of mysterious powers that have not been used on the battlefield have begun to appear.
All of a sudden, the industrial superiority of the Rhine Alliance was wiped out, and the two sides engaged in a bloody battle like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood.
The trenches at the forefront changed hands almost every hour, blood and corpses covered the trenches, and the wreckage of steel chariots piled up on both sides.
The tall Titan mech was besieged by countless rune knights, and was eventually eaten away and crashed to the ground, becoming a small hill here.
The artillery attacked day and night, one with a burnt red barrel was replaced, and the artillery was almost numb.
Compared with the battle to defend the coastline, this place is more like a war of this era, like a tug-of-war, and the two sides are competing to see who has no way to replenish the troops first.
