Warlords: Rise of the System

The bandits' tanks continuously bombarded the positions guarded by Zhang Cheng's 1st Battalion.

The machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles also began to fire wildly at the positions.

Many bandit soldiers also launched artillery attacks on the positions using grenade launchers.

Under attack from many directions, Zhang Cheng's battalion of soldiers began to suffer casualties.

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Zhang Cheng's eyes turned red.

"Zhu Erdan, take the people from your company and move out our mortars.

Shoot down all the bandits' grenade launchers.

Liu Da Naotou, all the people in your company, use the heavy machine guns and suppress the enemy.

Zhang Mingwang, the people in your company should focus on attacking the bandits' tanks and armored vehicles. Make sure to knock them all out."

Several company commanders led their men and took quick action under the artillery fire.

Liu Danao's second company suffered more than a dozen casualties, leaving only more than 80 people.

More than 40 heavy machine guns fired crazily, forcing the bandits to unable to raise their heads.

Many large-caliber machine guns directly penetrated the armor of the bandits' tanks and armored vehicles, killing the drivers and passengers inside and leaving the tanks and armored vehicles stranded.

Zhu Erdan also took the remaining 80 people in his company and moved out 30 mortars from the air-raid shelter.

They quickly assembled and placed the mortar, adjusted the firing range, and fired ten consecutive shots at the attacking enemy.

Dense artillery shells fell on the bandits' attacking force, blowing them to pieces.

Several unlucky armored vehicles were directly hit by artillery shells, their tops were blown apart, and the bandits inside were killed.

As long as the tanks and armored vehicles came within range, Zhang Mingwang would command his soldiers to destroy them all with anti-tank rocket launchers.

However, this time, the bandits were determined to destroy Lu Tianhao's troops and sent out a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. The attacking infantry was at least ten times the strength of Zhang Cheng's battalion.

Seeing that his own troops could not break through the enemy's position, the bandit commander who was watching from behind ordered the heavy artillery to launch a new round of bombardment on Zhang Cheng's position.

Dense artillery shells bombarded Zhang Cheng's position completely.

Hearing the sharp sound of artillery fire, Zhang Cheng felt something was wrong and shouted loudly, "Quick! Everyone retreat to the air-raid shelter."

But the sound of gunfire from the battle drowned out Zhang Cheng's shouting.

In fact, by the time Zhang Cheng shouted, it was already too late.

Dense artillery shells fell on the position, flames flew, smoke rose, and dust and smoke filled the entire position.

Lu Tianhao, who had been watching with a telescope in the back, felt his heart ached when he saw all this.

Before the soldiers had time to hide in the air-raid shelter, the bandits' artillery shells fell on the position, and it was unknown how many casualties the soldiers in the first battalion had suffered.

Putting aside his grief, Lu Tianhao said to the observer, "Can you see the location of the enemy's heavy artillery?"

The observer said, "We have seen it clearly. It is about 12 or 13 kilometers away from us, which is completely within the range of our heavy artillery attack."

"Okay! Adjust the shooting parameters, aim at the artillery position of Zeiji, and hit it hard." Lu Tianhao shouted loudly.

The artillerymen were busy and aimed at the bandits' artillery positions.

At Lu Tianhao's command, 40 150mm howitzers aimed at the bandits' artillery positions and opened fire.

40 shells fell on the bandits' artillery positions, flames rose, thick smoke billowed, and several shells fell into their piled shells, causing a chain reaction explosion.

The entire artillery position of Zeji was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, and countless enemy soldiers were killed or wounded.

The power of the 150mm howitzer is extremely strong. The bandit artillerymen at the center of the explosion were directly blown into powder and scattered all over the land.

Before the surviving bandits' artillery could react, the second round of forty shells fell, explosions sounded, and another large number of bandits were taken away.

More shells caused a chain reaction, and continuous and violent explosions rang out, completely razing the bandits' artillery positions to the ground.

After five consecutive rounds, Lu Tianhao ordered the artillery to adjust the firing parameters to 500 meters in front of the position and launched a massive bombardment on the bandits' attacking forces.

Lu Tianhao ordered the artillerymen to carry out extended bombing until all the shells were used up.

Lu Tianhao didn't have time to observe the situation in front. He put away all the howitzers and asked all the soldiers to hide in the air-raid shelters of the third line of defense.

Lu Tianhao also moved away from the small forest.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that the small forest had been exposed and the enemy would soon call in other heavy artillery to bomb the small forest.

Lu Tianhao brought several guards to a hidden hill, picked up a telescope, and observed the situation of the first line of defense.

Zhang Cheng's battalion suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the bandits' heavy artillery, and even the battalion commander Zhang Cheng was injured.

After a simple bandage, Zhang Cheng led the remaining 100 people and continued to put up a tenacious resistance.

The enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in large numbers, blocking the advance of the tanks and armored vehicles behind them.

Many bandits took advantage of the heavy artillery bombardment and sneaked to within thirty or forty meters of the position.

Zhang Cheng immediately organized his soldiers to carry out a machine gun blockade, preventing the bandits from raising their heads.

Zhang Cheng selected thirty or forty soldiers and asked them to throw grenades out frantically.

As the dense sound of grenade explosions rang out, the bandits, who were suppressed and unable to raise their heads, suffered a devastating blow.

Many bandits were hit on the head by grenades, and after the grenades exploded, their heads were blown apart.

Seeing that they could not escape by lying on the ground, the bandits launched a death charge, suddenly standing up and rushing forward.

The bandits' death charge further accelerated their death.

Under the dense blockade of heavy machine guns, many bandits were shot in half, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The death charge of the bandits in front caused the bandits behind to act frantically.

The commander of the bandits actually ordered a full-scale death charge.

The bandits rushed towards Zhang Cheng and his men's position like a tide, densely packed and regardless of life and death.

Zhang Cheng and the soldiers were also shocked by the bandits' actions.

Zhang Cheng and the soldiers fired more frantically, but no matter how powerful the machine gun was, it still needed to be reloaded.

Many bandits took advantage of this gap and rushed to a place only four or five meters away from the position.

With just a few more steps, the enemy soldiers would be able to rush into the position.

The position guarded by Zhang Cheng's 1st Battalion was already in danger.
