It was not only the Jukai that was surrounded, but all eight battleships that landed encountered a similar situation, except for the difference in the number of dirt bags, there was no other difference.

The situation is already very obvious, the entrance of the cave is less than thirty meters away from the battleship, and it can be crossed by servants in a few steps, and the noble army wants to attack at close range!

However, such a distance is very unfavorable for the defenders to give full play to their firepower superiority, air support is not even considered, and the mortars on the ship's ridge are difficult to use.

The higher the soil bag arched, the huge insect head was soon revealed, but this time the giant insect did not rush out at all, but quickly retracted into the ground, leaving only holes of different diameters in the ground.

Several thoughts flashed through Ye Han's mind in an instant, and he shouted almost instinctively: "Grenade-"

The paratroopers on each ship received the order to instinctively take off their grenades and throw them into the four open holes, because they were too hurried and far away, and there were not many grenades that happened to be thrown into the holes, and most of them fell near the holes.

Immediately there were explosions inside and outside the cave, and the actions of the paratroopers led the servants again, and they brought out large grenades specially designed for the servants and threw them from the battleship like rain.

Ye Han jumped straight to his feet, the ammunition reserves were limited, and the servants dared to waste it so much, and they didn't look at the place to throw it down!

The paratroopers who also saw this scene immediately stopped throwing, and I don't know who yelled on the public channel: "Explosives bag-" The clever paratroopers immediately ran to carry the explosives.

As if knowing the thoughts of the defenders, the paratroopers carrying the explosives package here had just run away, and the aristocratic army in the cave suddenly jumped out with grenades like raindrops, and rushed out from all the holes, only a few holes that happened to enter the grenades did not move.

The first group of nobles who rushed out were immediately hit head-on by grenades, and none of them escaped the fate of death, but they blocked the shrapnel for the subsequent nobles, and the second group of nobles was blown down by the grenades after they successfully rushed to the ground.

As if inspired by this scene, the third group of noble troops who rushed to the ground simply lifted the corpses of their companions in front of them, and rushed up with meat shields.

The situation changed rapidly, and some of the defenders immediately grabbed their rifles and opened fire, and the dense bullets fell from the sky, condescendingly sweeping down the charging enemy, while the rest continued to throw grenades, and the two fires swept the noble army that rushed to the ground to the ground.

The aristocratic army did not show weakness, and the fourth batch of noble troops simply did not come out first, and while the defenders were still cleaning the remaining noble troops on the ground, they hid in the hole and fired at the defenders.

Streams of light suddenly appeared, knocking down the defenders from the bottom up.

The enemy's position was too low and too close, and whether they threw grenades or shots, they had to poke their upper body out a little to see the target, for which the defenders paid the price of blood, and the number of defenders killed and wounded under this wave of aristocratic counterattacks exceeded four figures.

However, the servants, who had suffered a great loss, did not care about the casualties, and immediately pulled away the casualties and continued to fire, only to be attacked by the noble army again, and a large number of casualties were inflicted.

The sudden huge casualties startled Ye Han, but fortunately, the casualties of the paratroopers were very small, but if you think about it carefully, you will be afraid for a while.

The counterattack of the noble army came suddenly, and the paratroopers on the spine of the ship were also unprepared, but the advantage of the paratroopers was that their positions were relatively high, and their size was much smaller than that of the servants, and the difficulty of hitting was much higher than that of the servants.

Therefore, the vast majority of noble armies aimed at the servant army that was easier to hit, and there were very few noble armies that targeted the paratroopers, which caused the situation where the servant army suffered heavy casualties, but the paratroopers did not suffer many casualties.

But if this development continues, it will not be long before the limited servant army will be exhausted in casualties, and then only seven battalions of paratroopers will not be able to hold the place.

Thinking of this, Ye Han hurriedly ordered: "Attention to all units, from now on, it is forbidden to shoot downward, all the servants will withdraw into the second line of defense, and the artillery will fight separately and implement fire support!" ”

The first line of defense is on the surface of the battleship, and the defense of this line of defense is inevitably exposed to the enemy's sight.

The second line of defense is located inside the battleship, making full use of the passages and cabins inside the battleship, and the distance from the first line of defense is between 10 meters and 30 meters, which can effectively block the enemy who breaks through the first line of defense.

The servants who received the order quickly retreated, and dispersed into the second line of defense at great speed, not even bringing back the bodies of their companions.

After all, the servant army is not a human army, and there is no habit of collecting corpses at all.

Not only did the servants retreat, but the paratroopers on the ship's ridge also retreated some distance, redeploying their defenses near the gun carriages.

The fierce resistance just now ended in a hurry, and the aristocratic army gathered underground poured out of the ground like a fountain, leaping high one by one and climbing onto the battleship.

However, there were only so many entrances to the interior of the battleship, and many of the firing ports had been closed due to the retreat of the servants, and many noble troops could not find a way to enter the battleship after they pounced on the battleship, so they could only gather towards the passages deliberately left by the servants.

The aristocratic army that was the first to get into the battleship was immediately attacked by the defenders, but the aristocratic army behind still ignored it and continued to rush into the battleship by stepping on the corpses of their companions.

The defenders, hiding behind cover, took advantage and calmly fired at the enemy, knocking the incoming enemies to the ground one by one, and in a short time the deliberately left passages were filled with the corpses of the noble army.

The massive casualties soon made the nobles obedient, and they no longer desperately rushed into the battleship, but hid outside the entrance without heading, only sending their arms in and firing, and beating them with mercerized light.

Although the nobles who did so could not see their targets and were always hit in the arm, the flying silk did cause casualties among the servants.

On one side, the battleship could not be rushed, and on the other side, the hole in the ground kept rushing out, and a large number of noble troops soon gathered under the battleship.

Ye Han, who was already holding back the fire, decisively ordered the artillery to open fire.

The paratroopers who operated the artillery had long held their breath, and after receiving the order, they did not hesitate to open fire, sprinkling the steel beads representing death on the swarming aristocratic army.

The advantages of the mortar are infinitely amplified at this time, and the mortar mode can be used to shoot at the near range, and the howitzer mode can be used to shoot at the distance, whether the ship or the friendly ship is within the strike range of the shell, and no matter how you fight, you can always find a suitable way.

However, artillery bombardment is not a panacea, and it is impossible to destroy all enemies with shells, and with the constant flow of noble armies coming out of their burrows, the limited shells can only be used at critical moments, rather than firing at random anytime and anywhere.

After a long time, the aristocratic army also summed up the law of artillery bombardment, and did not dare to rush to the ground in droves, but slowed down the charge and used methods to reduce the density of personnel to resist the shelling.
