Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 924 Dahua’s Advance

In the smoke-filled position, the Dahua soldier who had retrieved it from the position a few days ago was cautiously moving forward in the trench.

 There were other Dahua soldiers in front of him, and the same number of soldiers followed behind him, because he was now a squad leader and had been promoted.

The soldiers who fought with him at the beginning are all dead, and the new recruits need to be commanded by an experienced person. Even if they have experience in escaping, it is good.

Not far above the heads of these Dahua soldiers, a Dahua Empire Type 5 tank was burning. It had just been penetrated by the side artillery and was completely destroyed on this position.

  No matter how thick the armor is, it cannot be invincible. The side armor of the Type 5 tank does not have any advantages. After all, this thing is driven by an engine.

 As long as it is not solid, a tank cannot be invincible, so it is not unusual for a Type 5 tank to be destroyed. It just represents the cruelty of the battle.

The Battle of Fengjiang has indeed begun to become cruel. In order to end the adverse effects of the Guiguang defeat, the Dahua Empire chose to fight to the death in Fengjiang.

 Zhao Chen had no other way to reverse the defeat. He could only capture Fengjiang and then cut off the Fengjiang Army's connection with the Tang Empire, thereby weakening the Fengjiang Army's strength.

He threw his troops into the army desperately, advancing inch by inch. His tactics were so hysterical that it was terrifying to watch.

In order to ensure the results of the battle, he even ordered the troops to continue digging operations, and then after each attack, he tried to connect his position with the Fengjiang position he had already controlled.

 Under his series of operations, the troops of the Dahua Empire have actually advanced 3 kilometers towards Fengjiang. The closest point to the actual control position of the Dahua Army is only 17 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​​​Fengjiang.

"Be careful! These goblins are very cunning!" reminded his soldiers as the new squad leader of the Great Chinese Army walked forward.

What he was holding turned out to be a captured Bobosha submachine gun. This weapon appeared on the battlefield with the dwarf mercenaries. Soon some smart people in the Great Chinese Army discovered that this weapon was indeed useful. .

The Bobosha submachine gun is quite reliable. The most important thing is that the weapon equipped by the dwarves is equipped with 71 large drum magazines. The firepower is very sustained and it is very comfortable to use.

Therefore, many soldiers of the Great China Army will try their best to get themselves such a weapon. Having this kind of weapon is equivalent to a guarantee of survival under complex battlefield conditions.

 “Ula!” With a cry, a group of short but quite strong dwarf soldiers rushed out from the corner on the other side of the trench.

They held Mosin-Nagant rifles and rushed towards their enemies with loud shouts. Dahua soldiers also screamed and rushed towards these opponents, and the two sides immediately became entangled in the trenches.

Holding a heavy drum, the squad leader of the Dahua Army started shooting at the enemy troops that were rushing over. The bullets hit the dwarves, splashing a mist of blood.

Screams filled the entire trench. Some of the dwarf soldiers, who were blood-thirsty, hugged the Dahua army and died together. There were also Dahua soldiers who were stabbed by the opponent's bayonet and fell to the bottom of the trench pit vomiting blood.

"Yeah!" A Dahua soldier also stabbed a dwarf soldier with a bayonet. The other party dropped his weapon and grabbed the Dahua soldier's rifle, vomiting blood and fell down.

Before he had time to pull out his bayonet, the Dahua soldier was stabbed by the bayonet in the hand of another dwarf, and then he screamed and fell down.

 A dense barrage of bullets struck, and several dwarf soldiers were immediately shot and fell. More Dahua soldiers rushed over, overwhelming the dwarves who tried to fight back.

There are too many soldiers of the Chinese Army. Under the cover of tanks, they have occupied nearby trenches. Long-range artillery is still suppressing the Fengjiang position further away. There are shouts of killing and explosions everywhere.

 Suddenly, roaring artillery shells flew over their heads. The sound was like coming from hell, and the earth shook for a moment. The shells fell on the positions occupied by the Chinese army. The vibration caused by the explosion made everyone unsteady.

“Boom!” A landslide-like explosion set off a plume of smoke that was taller than a building. Sand and gravel flew across the air, and shrapnel struck along with the shock wave.

The squad leader of the Dahua Army, who had just fired with a submachine gun, suddenly fell down on the body of a friendly soldier. There was a buzzing in his ears, and the surrounding scene began to become blurred.

The sky and the earth were spinning for a while. When the Dahua squad leader saw that everything was shaking, a huge air wave encircled the smoke and dust, blocking his sight.

In the darkness, he couldn't tell the direction and couldn't hear the shouts of others. He didn't know what happened. The whole world seemed to have ended just now.

Every time I took a breath, my mouth was filled with grit and smoke, and my nose was filled with a weird, earthy smell of gun smoke.

He didn't know where he was because he couldn't touch the walls of the trench and couldn't open his eyes. He tried to shout, tried to call his soldiers, but even he couldn't tell whether he shouted or not.

 Because he opened his mouth and relied on his own experience to exhale the air and vibrate his vocal cords. But he couldn't hear his own voice, there was only a strong buzzing in his ears. It was like ten thousand cicadas, beating their wings in the ears. As time passed, more and more dust fell on his body, but there was obviously less dust floating in the sky.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the smoke and dust that obscured the sky gradually faded away. At this time, the Dahua squad leader was finally able to see a little bit of the surrounding situation: his soldiers were staggering around, but it was obvious that many of them were still alive.

 Some people were trying to get up from the ground, and some were banging on their helmets or clothes, trying to clean the dust off their bodies.

It’s just that the scene in front of me is like a mime, without any sound at all. Looking at it, there is an indescribable sense of violation.

 “Monitor! Monitor!” Finally, in the ears that had been buzzing, a distant and nostalgic voice appeared.

 The soldier close at hand opened his mouth wide and seemed to be calling. It can be seen from the other party's mouth shape that the small and friendly distant voice just seemed to be shouted by this soldier.

What they didn’t know was that a huge crater had just appeared far away. The crater was more than ten meters in diameter and was still steaming.

That was the crater formed by the explosion of a shell fired by a 380 mm caliber main gun on the Fengjiang River Defense Fort. It was this shell that almost killed them all just now.

 This level of artillery shells is simply a disaster for infantry. Even if it hits far away, the destructive power it causes is staggering.

 The soldiers in the trenches a little closer could no longer stand up. Blood was oozing from their ears and nostrils, and they were walking quite peacefully.

 Fortunately, the firing speed of this 380 mm caliber coastal defense gun is not very fast. After a shell falls for a long time, there will not be a second shell to follow.

The dwarves' counterattack seemed to have receded, and only the cannonballs from both sides were still greeting each other on the position. There were corpses everywhere and struggling wounded soldiers everywhere.

 There are also some dwarf captives who need to be sent back to the rear: although these mercenaries are infuriating, they are actually very useful.

 At least someone would pay to redeem them, or they could exchange them for surrendered soldiers from the Dahua Empire. In short, these prisoners cannot be killed, and there will be rewards if they are sent back.

"Squad leader! I, I found this!" Although I still couldn't hear clearly, I finally heard some sound in my ears and heard the soldier's call. The squad leader of the Dahua Empire who was lucky enough to survive once again looked towards Killed his own men.

 Then, he saw a drum in the opponent's hand: this was an unused drum filled with bullets needed for the Bobosha submachine gun.

"Thank you!" He was shouting at the top of his lungs, but the squad leader still felt that his voice was very far away from him.

The other party handed him the drum and left. There are still many things that need to be sorted out on the battlefield. After this battle, many people have a new understanding of real battles.

 At least they no longer naively think that the enemy can be killed with just one shot: on the battlefield, 80% of the bullets you fire will not hit the target, and the opponent will not give up their position easily.

Just look at the blood at your feet, and then look at the corpses of soldiers from both sides that haven't had time to dispose of them, it's all very obvious.

 A Dahua soldier responsible for transporting ammunition passed by here carrying bullets and a Maxim machine gun belt hanging around his neck.

 He left a few grenades, a machine gun belt, and a box of rifle bullets, and then continued walking away.

Farther away, on the reverse **** of a high ground, there was a Type 3 tank parked, and behind that tank, there was an unknown truck type.

Today, their Dahua troops have advanced about one kilometer, and are now less than 16 kilometers away from Fengjiang in the distance...

If they place a 200 mm caliber heavy artillery here, maybe... they can already hit the city of Fengjiang.

 Sure enough, the squad leader thought the same thing. At night, after Toyoe's Butcher fighter planes left the battlefield, a tractor truck brought what looked like a huge artillery piece.

 This is a 250 mm caliber heavy cannon with a theoretical range of more than 17 kilometers and can deliver more than 50 kilograms of shells into Fengjiang City.

 Throughout the night, a company of Dahua Empire soldiers were busy on the position. They had to camouflage the artillery well to ensure that the artillery would not be killed by IL attack aircraft after dawn.
