Chapter 290: Bloody Battle (2) Pingshan Defensive Battle

The gap in equipment is too large, the firepower is insufficient, the air supremacy is lost, and the logistics support cannot be talked about.

No matter what military experts look at, this is a battle without suspense, unless a miracle happens.

But miracles are meant to be made. If Liu Zhengzheng was on this battlefield, he would definitely be able to think of a certain patriotic war in his previous life, when the poorly equipped and poorly clothed "peasants" resisted the most powerful Sixteen-Nation Alliance in the world at that time!

Indisputable facts have proved that the will to fight is the decisive factor in war.

On the Pingshan battlefield today, the regular army of the new dynasty is facing such a situation, the opponent is incomparable, and they have to fight bravely with a fearless spirit, because behind them are the villagers and elders.

The sudden battle caught the Iron Legion by surprise again, they couldn't figure out where the opponent came from, and with such a powerful artillery cover, so many enemies could survive.

After being wiped out of the small vanguard force, the Iron Legion retreated again, and the powerful artillery fire once again covered Pingshan, which was already riddled with holes, and the trees on the position were blown away, and there were artillery craters everywhere.

The invading army finally saw the scene on the mountain, which was very high and mountainous, and on the first high ground they faced, there were trenches crisscrossing the slopes of the mountain.

The warplanes circled in the sky, and only the corpses were left in the tunnels to attack.

Then the legions attacked again, and the same scene was repeated, and the gunfire in the tunnel poured out again violently.

The commander angrily questioned the air force's reconnaissance, and the air force had to dispatch the reconnaissance plane again, turn on the infrared scanning, and finally found that when the artillery fire landed on the position, the clear red shadows on the thermal imaging disappeared into the trenches.

"There are tunnels in the trenches! They are all hiding in the trenches! The reconnaissance aircraft quickly reported.

The Commanders of the Iron Legion had to abandon their usual mode of attacking with mechanical spiders, and the Mechanical Spider Legion suffered heavy losses in the surprise attacks of the opposing warriors, and each of these huge steel machines was expensive, even in the Harry Kingdom, there were only a few thousand of them.

The original function of the mechanical spider was to climb over the terrifying forest, but the defense was really not very good, especially the slender spider legs, which could be cut off by the opponent's warrior with an axe, and he was really not good at fighting in this terrain.

What's more, the other party is just some ordinary soldiers with mud legs, which is too cost-effective.

"Treant Legion Charge!"

The Treant Legion is a mutant that can be transformed into a treeman, although these mutants are not strong in attack, but they are extremely survivable, ordinary bullets cannot threaten them at all, even if they are missing an arm and leg, it will not affect them to continue fighting, and they can grow slowly afterwards.

The dense army of tall treants slowly advanced towards the high ground with great oppression.

The battlefield fell silent again, and when the Treant Legion was only more than fifty meters away from the nearest trench, dense figures rushed out of the trench again, and they actually launched a counter-charge again under the absolute disadvantage!

However, unlike the swiftness of the previous warrior legions, most of the ordinary soldiers who charged were wounded, and some even lacked an arm, and only had a ball the size of a human head tied to their bodies.

Every soldier wore such a thing, screaming and charging at the tall and menacing treemen.

The Treant Legion has no firearms, but they are not afraid of close quarters, even the Warrior Legion, they are not afraid of close quarters, let alone these ordinary soldiers.

The commander in the rear felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to make a decision, the distance of fifty meters was too short. Finally, the treeman who rushed to the front met the other party, and an ordinary soldier turned into a flame, and the flame quickly expanded, covering more than ten meters around him, and the treeman standing opposite him was directly blown away.

The broken tree man was not dead, but just got up to find that the flames on his body were still burning, and these flames were like maggots on tarsal bones, which could not be shot off.

As the two sides rushed into battle, the sea of fire reappeared, this time not as obscured as the forest burned, but more bursting and scorching.

"It's an incendiary bomb!"

A heat wave swept through the Hari Legion, and the soldiers had to retreat slowly.

The commander's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect the other party to prepare so many incendiary bombs, let alone that the incendiary bombs could be used like this, this wave almost lost thousands of tree people, and he had to make his face twitch.

He knew that his military career was over, and he had not yet entered the Great Qin Mainland, and the Mechanical Spider Legion had lost more than half of its ranks, and the Treant Legion had lost one-third, and he would definitely be judged and shot.

The flame of hatred burned in his eyes, "All the army prepares!" The flames are extinguished, the whole army goes out and rushes to the position at all costs! ”

At this moment, there was not much left of the new dynasty's army, and the soldiers in the various trenches quickly gathered in the front tunnel.

"Where's the deputy head of the regiment?"

"The deputy regiment commander was wounded, he didn't stop it just now, and rushed up with an incendiary bomb!"

There was silence on the ground, and just now, the wounded volunteered to self-detonate.

"It's okay, after all, it's very painful to be injured, it's okay to leave a little early, little brothers, it's our turn, are you afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!" The two words shouted from the position of less than a thousand people soared into the sky.

"Very well, but I don't want you to be heroic, I want you to survive! After a while, after the defensive line of the position was breached, I was all drilled into the tunnel! I want you to be like rats, even if you lose ground, you will give me a bite of them! ”

The Mech Legion charge began again, the Treant Legion and the MechSpider Legion pressed together, and the gunfire on the defensive positions was no longer as fierce as before, with few grenadiers, mortars, and grenades left, and the damage was limited.

"Leave the explosives pack! Drill into the tunnel! ”

The commander of the new regiment decisively ordered in advance, and the defensive positions were left with burning bombs one after another, and the soldiers drilled into the tunnels that extended in all directions.

When the invading army finally reached its position, they were greeted by a violent explosion, and the position became a sea of fire again, and the original trenches were lifted and turned into huge trenches.

From a distance, the high ground looks like dozens of wounds have been cut.

These wounds are covered by parts of the Treants and the Mechanical Spider.

"Report! A lot of tunnels were found on enemy positions! ”

"Bring me the infrared equipment, get in there, and kill all these rats!"

So the ordinary soldiers went into the field, and one by one they were fully armed and well equipped, and they got into the dark tunnels.

Was there a dull sound of gunfire and explosions on the high ground, the explosion was like a two-kick thrown in the sewer, and the ground trembled from time to time.

The commander of the invading legion had an ugly face, he did not expect that the first battle would be so difficult, and he had never seen such a fierce soldier who was not afraid of death.

After half a day, the high ground finally fell silent.

In this battle, all the participating armies of the new dynasty were annihilated, and none of them surrendered. With the combat power of 3,000 warrior troops and 10,000 regular troops, it blocked the invading army of Harry for a whole day.

It was not until after the end of all the wars, when the post-war summary and commendation were made, that the importance of this battle was discovered, and this battle, which was not ranked among the top five in the entire Great Qin Defense War, was remembered by later generations and became a must-have case in the curriculum of the Military Academy - the Battle of Pingshan Defense.

Wuzhou and Baiyue Prefecture in the south of Great Qin, the coastal areas have been cleared, and the major armies on the main roads are converging towards the coast like a torrent of steel.

Bingzhou has been occupied, and the invading army is about to land.

And Da Qin was also fully prepared.

After the tripartite alliance, Daqin reduced the forces of the Northeast Defense Line, the Shuzhou Defense Line, and the Bingzhou Defense Line to the coast of Baiyue Prefecture and Wuzhou.

How many troops does Great Qin have? Being able to stalemate for so many years under the condition that the new dynasty and the Hong League occupy the geographical advantages and the people, the background is far from being comparable to the Hong League and the new dynasty.

There were more than a million regular troops, and more than half of them were deployed along the coasts of these two states.

The Praetorian Guard has expanded frantically in recent years, almost hollowing out the Warrior Association, and now the Warrior Association and the Praetorian Guard are indistinguishable from you and me, there are 10,000 people, at this time, except for the Imperial Capital, there is also a Praetorian Guard Legion, all of which have fallen to the southern front.

At this time, the southern coast of Daqin was full of military towns, and the tank corps and artillery corps turned into a torrent of steel and moved in groups on the land.

The beginning of the war in Daozhou was a battle of masters, and Ozawa Shandao forcibly entered the realm of the Holy Array Master at the cost of his life, and one person fought out the opponent's twelve top combat powers.

The battle in Xipingshan Prefecture began with a heroic resistance war, and the new dynasty achieved its strategic goal at the cost of the total annihilation of the blocking army and inflicted heavy losses on the vanguard of the invading army.

But compared with Baiyue Prefecture and Wuzhou, it is still a lot more petty, and there is no comparison in terms of the number of troops invested and the length of the battle line.

Great Qin has the posture of starting a war and fighting a decisive battle.

Bingzhou Military Division Sun Yan served as the supreme commander, commanding the Praetorian Guard and all regular troops.

The first thing he did after taking power was to break up the commanders of the former military states and integrate them into the troops, and the Praetorian Guard was also scattered and commanded by these commanders, mixed with the regular troops.

Sun Zan's belief that the warrior army could only exert its might if it cooperated with the regular army, and unprecedentedly mixed the Praetorian Guard with the conventional army.

He is well aware of the weakness of the Great Qin army, and the commanders of these former Bingzhou legions still have an important task, that is, battlefield supervision.

Sun Remnant formulated the harshest wartime regulations in the history of the Great Qin military, greatly expanded the battlefield inspection team, shot those who retreated, shot those who did not obey military orders, shot those who delayed and prevaricated, and those who surrendered were permanently hunted down, and listed more than 20 regulations for shooting.

In addition to strengthening military discipline, Sun Yan also added the post of instructor to the army at all levels, and devoted himself to ideological education, but it could not fundamentally change the soldiers' will to fight in a short period of time, but it was better than nothing, and at least it could arouse the belief of some people in defending the homeland and the country.

For the first time, Sun Yan really stood in front of the stage, and there were no constraints, showing his military talent.

The battle began as expected, and the beginning was the fiercest collision.

The Lighthouse Country, the Broken Continent that lost on the sandbank, and part of the troops of the Dongzheng Kingdom, as well as the troops of the vassal countries of the Black Continent and the Extremely Cold Continent, crashed into Great Qin.

It was a Grand Legion battle in the truest sense of the word, and the largest war ever fought on the continent.

Compared with this time, the world-wide expedition to Qin during the Qing Dynasty was more like a temptation, which led them to come to a conclusion that the northwest could not be advanced, the eastern part was not of high strategic significance, the transportation lines were too long, and the terrain in the west was too harsh to be conducive to large-scale marches.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Combined Army pressed the winner and loser in the south, using the south as the landing point, and the east and west sides should respond, and the battle was decided.
