The reconnaissance unit of the Guochao army soon discovered the traces of the rebels, and of course they did not need them Yang Guangdao also knew about the arrival of the enemy. The vibrations of a thousand heavy tanks roaring forward on the ground were enough to be felt by people from miles away.

The artillery of the Korean army began to bombard, capable of attacking artillery several kilometers away, and now there are only a dozen or so guns on the defensive line, and their distribution to the enemy is actually almost negligible.

But it's better than nothing, at least you can test whether the enemy has changed the type of tank used this time.

With the further probing of the shelling, through the enemy's reaction to the shelling, Yang Guangdao could basically determine that the enemy was still using the heavy Iron King Eight of the last time.

As the enemy got closer and closer, more artillery on the defensive line began to attack, and for a moment, the sky and the earth ahead were shrouded in smoke.

The southern soldiers who had been sent to fill the line seemed to have been frightened by this scene, and wondered how many of them would be able to stay awake in the face of the enemy's artillery salvo.

Although the scene is spectacular, it is more of a deterrent to the enemy, and the damage is not great.

The tank units finally let the defensive line into range of their artillery during the charge, and Yang Guangdao let the soldiers in the trenches into the bomb crater before the enemy shelled it.

The artillery of the dynasty was still responding to the enemy's shelling, and both sides launched a firefight, one with armor protection and the other with the protection of artillery positions, so although both sides were drowned in fire, the actual number of casualties was not large.

The heavily armed Northern Cavalry, divided into two groups, charged from both flanks of the enemy's armored forces, reducing the attack on the defensive line.

Yang Guangdao immediately ordered the soldiers to pass through the trench passage, reach the position further ahead, and launch a counterattack against the enemy with anti-tank weapons.

Although some soldiers felt afraid, they were directly dragged by the veterans around them to the position, and the next battle was unbearable for them, either fighting to death, or hiding in the trenches and being blown up, the former at least had hope of living.

At this stage of the battle, there was no place where tactics could be used for the time being, and the best way to face the attack of armored troops on the plains was to build a large number of trenches and traps to block and drag the enemy down.

It's just that now Yang Guangdao has too little strategic depth, and the total is only 20 kilometers, and at this distance, instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to build countless small defense lines to block layer by layer, it is better to find a good place to build a fortification group and fight the enemy to the end.

The anti-tank positions scattered in front of the main trenches were already engaged with the enemy, and through the binoculars you could see that fire dragons were fired straight at the tanks, some of which were destroyed, some of which escaped the attack by maneuvering, and some of which were lucky not to be destroyed.

Soon the attacking positions were strafed by the enemy's vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the blood mist could be faintly seen, and it was clear that when the enemy reacted, the troops in front were quickly hit.

The specially made giant muskets in the trenches are ready to fire, just waiting for the enemy to get a little closer before they can fire.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and one after another black shadows were approaching from the sky.

Yang Guangdao's face immediately changed greatly, he knew very well what this was, this was the enemy's air force! He immediately ordered the Daoist priests in his troops to start casting, hoping to use the Cloud and Mist Technique and the Thunder and Lightning Dao Method to interfere with the enemy's air force.

However, they were always a step slower, and the enemy air force attack came to the position first.

The cannon fire instantly turned several soldiers into a mist of blood, and the dropped bombs destroyed some of the artillery positions, and chaos ensued.

The Taoist priest stepped up the speed of spell casting, and completed the spell before the enemy's second wave of offensive came, and the enemy's air force was a propeller fighter developed with the help of the Nanluoya Empire and some of the Holy Kingdoms, and in the face of such a spell, it could only temporarily retreat.

However, their purpose of operation has been achieved, and now that the trenches have been partially plunged into chaos, and they are temporarily unable to help the troops fighting on the front line, Yang Guangdao is now organizing manpower to bring back to their senses those soldiers who were frightened by the attack from the sky, and let them return to their combat posts.

Originally, at this time, the specially made giant guns and mortars on the defensive line should have begun to attack the enemy tank forces that were temporarily dragged, but now it seems that it will have to wait a while.

The casualties of the Korean army were rising by the hour, and the cavalry units of the Northern Expedition had already fought with the enemy, and many cavalrymen had dismounted and used the armor on their dead horses to attack the enemy's tanks.

These cavalrymen were also equipped with newer weapons, but in small numbers, and after running out of ammunition, they picked up the weapons of the enemy's dead soldiers, and used destroyed tanks and dead horses as cover to engage the enemy.

Some of the captured tanks could not be driven, but the shells inside were indeed ready for use, and these soldiers made improvised droppers from local materials, and then used the time-delay fuse to throw the shells.

This made the enemy commanders, who once thought that the Korean army also had tank troops, became cautious, slowed down, and dispersed their forces to search for the non-existent Korean armored forces.

It can only be said that they are worthy of the Northern Expeditionary Army, relying on their rich combat experience, even if there is an accident on the defensive line, they can immediately offset the negative impact here.

After a while, a counterattack from the defense line of the country came, and hundreds of fire dragons headed towards the enemy, each of these fire dragons meant a special armor-piercing bullet.

A spectacular spark show was staged in front of the Korean army, with at least 100 tanks destroyed and many more damaged.

But this is the peak limit of the army of the country, and the new armor-piercing shells that have been stepped up in the rear of the combat readiness stage have been exhausted, and then they can only use various other means to fight the next tough battle.

A quarter of an hour later, the anti-tank positions ahead had been almost eliminated, and the trap area was being violently dismantled by the enemy with artillery shelling.

Yang Guangdao had stopped sending troops to the front and was ready for the next close engagement.

Putting the results of the battle into account for the time being, the troops of the frontal line destroyed nearly 150 tanks, while the cavalry units of the Northern Expedition on both flanks destroyed about 200 tanks.

The cavalry of the Northern Expedition did not know the extent of the damage, but the frontal line on which he was located had already cost thousands of casualties, and the damage on both flanks was also at this number.

The enemy's tanks had already come to the front of the trenches, suppressing the soldiers of the Kuo Dynasty in the trenches with artillery and machine guns, and Yang Guangdao was leading this Taoist army to use the Dao method to counterattack the enemy, providing space for those soldiers who could not raise their heads.

Not far behind, the enemy also used their more precious wizard troops to fight back with witchcraft. It's just that most of these witchcraft are inherited from the Daohuang Dynasty, so they can only play the role of containment and partial defense, and the dominant power is firmly controlled by the Taoist troops of the Dynasty.

The tank slammed through the last obstacle in front of the trench, and in the face of the oppression of the steel behemoth, some sections lost the support of the veterans, and the recruits had completely lost their courage, huddled in the trench or ran away, and launched a tragic charge against the tank that could not stand the pressure anymore.

The trenches were shrouded in death, and the Korean army could only rely on piling up human lives to hold off the enemy's tanks.

Some artillery units disregard the safety rules and directly use artillery to fire horizontally and attack tanks, and the effect is good, but it is easy to accidentally injure their own people, after all, these artillery pieces are not specially designed to be used for flat fire.

At this point, both sides have already killed both sides. The rear of the dynasty is constantly sending troops and new armor-piercing shells that have just been cast, and the armored personnel carriers on the rebel side have also arrived at the front line, and countless rebel infantry followed the tank units to attack the defensive line.

The rebel infantry could already be seen in the trenches at the forefront, and under the cover of tanks, more and more enemies entered them, and they were about to be lost.

The cavalry of the Northern Expedition did not wait for the order, and seeing the situation, the troops had urgently transferred a part of the troops with war horses, formed a decisive assault team, and launched a charge against the enemy from the front.

This time the counterattack trench line had time to breathe, and the Korean army reorganized itself into formed anti-tank groups, forced the enemy tanks back, and then began to sweep away the enemy infantry that had lost the cover of the tanks, and the forward position was finally held.

But there were heavy casualties, and the corpses were already covered with trenches, but the Korean army did not have time to rein in them. There are very few veterans left, and the positions at the forefront can only be filled with new recruits.

In order to prevent the defensive line from being crushed by the fleeing soldiers, Yang Guangdao could only order the overseers to let those recruits take the initiative to get out of the trenches and use the wreckage of the tanks to fight the enemy.

This would cause unnecessary casualties, but it would be better than keeping them in the trenches and destroying the morale of the entire trench.

This is war, not to die less, but to be able to persevere until the end and win the battle.

Now the two sides are fighting a war of attrition to see who can't hold on first. The two sides are like even seriously injured people pulling each other's feet, they are all forcibly lifting their breath, once they are dispersed, then it is the beginning of a total rout.

Yang Guangdao's face was covered with blood, his military uniform was already somewhat torn, and the Dao armor on his body was somewhat damaged, but he didn't care, regardless of the dissuasion of those guards, and continued to command the battle on the front line, because only in this way can he maintain morale, and only by maintaining morale can he persist until the appearance of fighters.

The same is true of Yamamoto Sixty-six on the opposite side, allowing his command chariot to appear frequently in the eyes of the soldiers on the battlefield, allowing them to overcome their fear of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In this way, the two sides do not know how many decapitation operations have been carried out against each other's leaders using special forces, but none of them have yielded results.

The rebels organized tank units to launch steel assaults on the defense line of the Korean army many times, but it was ineffective, and was stubbornly resisted by the Korean army, and the smell of rust almost wafted on this battlefield.

Yamamoto 66 wanted to divide some of his forces and try to break through from the flank of the defensive line, but now the tank forces were bogged down in the quagmire created by the Korean army with human lives.

Now we can only wait for which side will be defeated first.
