Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1408 Chapter 1409 Street Fighting in Huaishan

Tuesday Dog is just an ordinary coolie. He does hard work to make a living in the city where he lives. He has to do a lot of work every day to survive.

Later, the war broke out and the fighting situation became increasingly tense, so he was captured and sent to the front line. As a Qin citizen, he has the obligation to protect his family and the country.

But he did not receive any military training. After simply practicing some queue walking, he was sent to the front line, distributed a rifle, and became a soldier.

Contrary to what he imagined, he didn't see an enemy on the battlefield. Hiding in the trench, he only heard the rumble of cannons, and then his captain yelled at them to run, so he ran into the ruins behind him with his gun in hand.

 Fleeing from one ruin to another, from a new soldier to a veteran. Tang Jun didn't see it, and the troops he belonged to changed one after another.

Now, he was lying in a ruins, still not seeing the so-called enemies mentioned by the officers. He could only see collapsed buildings and his comrades who were reinforcing their defenses not far away.

Everyone followed the order and piled rubble and bricks together desperately to form some relatively strong bunkers to resist the Tang army's attack.

But in fact, most of the time, the Tang Empire's offensive was just to bombard the Qin Army's positions with artillery. After a few rounds of precise bombardment by the opponent, the Qin Army itself collapsed.

That was really a precise bombardment: I don’t know how the other party discovered it, but the shells fell as if they had eyes, hit the Qin army’s defenses, and exploded into the sky together with the people inside.

He once saw people who had been hit by artillery shells, their uniforms stained red with blood, their broken arms hanging on steel bars in the distance. The fishy smell in the air could not cover up the choking smell of exploding artillery shells.

 A veteran once told Tuesday Dog not to change the state of the ruins easily, just hide in them... He said this was the secret to his survival to this day.

The dog learned this trick on Tuesday. He was very grateful to the veteran who taught him the trick. Unfortunately, the veteran died more than a month ago. He was hit by a rocket in the hiding place. When the body was found, it was still in pieces.

 The Tang Empire's attacks are sometimes not very accurate, especially those from armed helicopters. That thing is just like an epileptic patient. As long as he suspects that the Qin army is hiding somewhere, he will shoot wildly.

"A bunch of idiots, can those bricks stop the cannonballs? It's a waste of time and your position is exposed." Tuesday Dog despises the recruits who are seriously building trenches in his heart, because half of these people will die today.

In most cases, the new soldiers recruited by the Qin State can only survive less than 10 days on the battlefield. This mainly depends on the intensity of the Tang army's offensive.

Those recruits who have not been well trained at all often die on the first day they join the war. Randomly falling artillery shells and machine gun bullets may take away the lives of these idiots.

They can't help but raise their heads while running, and then their heads will be shattered by bullets flying from nowhere.

Some bullets came from the Tang Army's strafing, and some bullets came from the Qin Army's strafing. No one on the battlefield will recognize the target or actively avoid their own people, and bullets cannot have eyes.

 So, it is actually very stupid to raise your head on the battlefield. No matter what the situation, lowering your upper body is a very wise choice.

The combat style of snipers in the Tang Empire is quietly changing. In the past, they preferred to kill an unlucky enemy with one shot and then show off their accuracy and professionalism.

Now, these Tang army snipers will not reveal their positions easily. They will guide the artillery fire from the rear, accurately hit the trenches where the Qin army gathers, and destroy the ruins of bunkers filled with people. I heard that those terrible gods of death can directly contact aircraft in the sky, and their attack efficiency is much higher than that of the Qin army.

"Yo...!" A piercing scream pierced the air, which was the sound made when the Tang Army's large-caliber artillery shells fell.

 After a short neighing sound, the shaking of the earth almost made Tuesday the dog bounce from the ground. He only felt that his internal organs were churning, and everything around him seemed to be moving away from him.

He didn't even notice the dust falling on him, and his ears became useless after hearing the terrifying sound. He felt like the world was shaking, and there was only a buzzing in his ears.

"Damn it..." He cursed, but even he couldn't hear what he was saying. The dust billowing in the air rushed into his mouth, but he no longer cared about the feeling of his tongue.

Fortunately, the Tang Army's artillery attack only fired one round. The very accurate shell landed on the left side of where Tuesday's dog was, and hit the Qin Army soldiers who were building a machine gun position.

 In an instant, the position just turned into a big pit. The place that was crowded with people just now was lifeless, and no one could be seen moving.

"Medic! Doctor!" someone yelled at the top of his lungs, but Tuesday the dog couldn't hear his voice because the sound of the explosion still echoed in his ears.

"My arm! My arm!" Farther away, there were wounded soldiers shouting in pain. He was lucky, because after all, many people couldn't even shout.

The huge shock wave shook nearby buildings, making the already dilapidated ruins even more miserable.

Bricks fell from time to time, and a wall was overwhelmed and then collapsed. The dust raised made it very difficult for the Qin officers and soldiers inside to breathe.

“Medical soldiers!” someone shouted again, and a Qin Army company commander hunched over and rushed behind the bunker next to the bomb crater. Looking at the corpses and struggling wounded on the ground, he was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

 Fortunately, the Tang Army did not continue the artillery bombardment. This sudden falling artillery shell had already caused heavy losses to an infantry company of the Qin Army.

An old Maxim machine gun that was finally delivered was completely scrapped, the machine gunner was also dead, and a dozen supplementary soldiers died together.

There were even more wounded, many of them were even vomiting blood, and the dogs on Tuesday were already unconscious. He lay down on the ground, and the vibration of the ground seemed to hurt his lungs.

Even if a platoon is basically wiped out, it is very dangerous for the remaining troops to stay here. The Qin Army's company commander is a little confused whether he should order a retreat or continue to hold on to such a position.

 It's a pity that he has already retreated into Huaishan Mountain. If he retreats again... I'm afraid he will have to go to Shushan Mountain.
