"Hold your ground soldiers! Don't complain like a! The lieutenant colonel yelled at the communicator.

"Enemy cavalry appears on the flank, call for reinforcements." Another call for help, this time it was not without a target, you can see that in the woods on the right side of the position, black cavalry poured out, the number of which was at least five thousand.

There was a small river on the right side of the position as a barrier, but the river was not deep enough for the cavalry to force it across, and the lieutenant colonel arranged for two platoons to rely on the river embankment to defend it.

"Stop them, don't let them cross the river!"

Xia Yu said: "Do you need me to bring the special forces over to increase the number of troops?" ”

The lieutenant colonel hesitated, "No, it should be fine." “

As it turned out, the lieutenant colonel was right, the cavalry scattered across the river, and the men who were beaten by several machine guns lying in ambush on the embankment turned on their backs, and the river was stained red with blood.

But after all, there were too many enemies, and they quickly rushed up from the banks of the river on both sides, and four all-terrain vehicles rushed over at once, put down a dozen infantry, plugged the gap, and the machine guns on the vehicles smashed the cavalry that had just come ashore, and the broken flesh and blood covered the river bank.

The remnants of the cavalry did not look good, and were so frightened that they crossed back one after another, but they were not willing to retreat, and wandered among the woods on the other side of the river, and some scattered cavalry came ashore farther away, but the number was too small to dare to rush over, and they shuttled between the woods in groups of three or five, and the chariot squad had to drive back and forth to hunt.

Boom Boom! The explosion suddenly sounded in the rear of the position, Xia Yu raised the telescope and looked at the rear, there was another group of cavalry, the number was about three thousand, I don't know when it went around to the rear of the position, there was only one platoon, but a large number of directional anti-infantry mines were laid, but I didn't expect the accident to play a role.

This time, the lieutenant colonel finally showed a solemn expression, "Mr. Advisor, let's take the special operations team to reinforce it!" ”

"Leave it to me." Xia Yu said and picked up the gun and went downstairs, but when he rushed to the rear position with the two teams, he only saw corpses all over the ground, and those cavalry had already run away.

Xia Yu only caught a few heads, and then took the people back to the earth fort.

In the 37th minute of the battle, the expeditionary force finally lost its first casualties.

A catapult projected a cloud of rubble, and an unlucky man was very unlucky enough to be smashed on the head, and the violent impact caused him to fall directly to the ground, causing the pit friend next to him to shout.

"Henry is down, Henry is down! Medic! ”

It was only then that it was discovered that the unlucky guy was later found to be only a concussion, and the helmet blocked most of the impact of the rubble.

Not everyone was so lucky, though, as more and more stones were fired, and a few more were injured one after another.

The loss was not large, but it was a very dangerous sign, and some archers even crawled to a distance of more than a hundred meters and began to shoot.

This type of shooting, although not very accurate, still posed some threat to the soldiers on the front line, one soldier did not hide in the foxhole, but half-knelt on the ground and fired, and was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and blood flowed.

Another soldier was grazed on the neck and screamed out of the fight.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we have suffered heavy casualties, we can't stand it, the number of enemies is too much, we need support!"

"Then withdraw it, abandon the first-line position, and pull to the second line of defense!"

The two platoons of infantry on the front line quickly ran out of their bunkers and ran to the second line of defense, leaning on the sandbag wall to continue the battle.

The second line of defense, which originally had a company of troops, was further strengthened at this time, and had a 'strong' force of nearly two hundred men.

More than 20 light and heavy machine guns fired like raindrops, and the density of the fire suddenly increased further, and the Imperial Army had to pay heavy casualties for every step forward.

Manuk's eyes were split, this was the army he used to sweep the world.

"Your Majesty, the Third Legion is completely destroyed!"

A corps of 5,000 people, a total of three corps before and after, considering that there are only a few thousand remnants of the army left at the front line who are still bravely embedded, that is to say, less than an hour after the start of the battle, more than 10,000 people were lost, not counting the casualties of those two cavalry.

But Manuk knew that this was the only time to keep investing. Otherwise, everything that was smashed in front of it would be lost.

"Then let the Fourth Corps go up, and the Fifth Corps get ready, march with drums, blow the horn, and let the cavalry attack too! Push all the remaining trebuchets up! “

A barrage of orders was given, and the Imperial army was immediately up and running.

"Lieutenant colonel, cavalry was found behind our position!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has stepped up the offensive head-on."

"Lieutenant Colonel, the left flank was subjected to a second assault by enemy cavalry, request for reinforcements."

All kinds of news came one after another, Xia Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the bloody battlefield in all directions, and felt nervous in his heart, can this battle be won? looked around, the second dog had already gone to the black gun, and the flying tiger also went to the front-line position to participate in the battle, but unfortunately he couldn't play any role, why not use military funds to buy a main battle tank to take the head of the enemy in the army of 100,000?

But I can't open it myself.

At this moment, the voice of the air squad sounded from the communicator, "Lieutenant Colonel, we have found the location of the enemy's headquarters, coordinates 72." 34！ ”

"Well done!" Lieutenant Colonel Sanchez shouted excitedly, "Fire team, get ready to work, the time for a counterattack has come, coordinates 72, 34, give me a covering shot!" ”

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The loud roar instantly drowned out the cacophony of the battlefield, and four heavy mortar shells landed in the rear of the enemy, where the Fifth Army was preparing for battle, and because it thought it was in the safe rear, it had not had time to spread out its formation, and was dealt a devastating blow almost instantly.

Although the 120-mm self-propelled mortar is also a mortar, its power is already heavy firepower, and the killing diameter of the shell is 40 meters × 40 meters in an area, close to the size of two basketball courts, and a single shot is hundreds of casualties.

An army was crushed in an instant, and to make matters worse, Manuk was nearby, and his chain of command was all there, including trumpeters and drummers, who fell victim to the shelling.

Manuk was completely stunned, but he was not killed, because the so-called headquarters, which was actually used by drummers, trumpeters, flags, etc., to command the army, was still a little far from himself.

But the blow of this shelling was huge, and he had always thought that he was in a 'safe zone' outside the range, but now he realized that he was thinking too much.

Moreover, the enemy's weapons were too powerful, and this volley not only caused huge casualties, but also made the soldiers who were fighting hard in front look behind them.

"Fire team, launch a round of artillery bombardment on the front-line positions, and then extend the fire back to block the enemy's reinforcement!"

"Roger!"

Boom Boom! Another salvo, followed by self-propelled mortars began to bombard the infantry phalanxes that had not yet entered the battle.

Every time the cannon goes down, a piece of soldiers falls, especially those who have not yet entered the battle, the phalanx infantry is neatly formed and dense, and the phalanx basically collapses when the cannon goes down.

The artillery bombardment lasted less than three minutes, and the imperial army was completely stunned, and the tens of thousands of troops in front of the position were completely confused.

"The mobile forces were assembled at once, and the infantry of the second line of defense were ready to counterattack, following the chariots forward!"

All ten tanks abandoned the task they were performing, and quickly drove to the second line of defense, the machine guns and cannons on the vehicles fired at the same time, this time even those corpse walls could not be stopped, the power of the 20mm cannon could easily shatter the wall, even if they hid behind a big tree, they would be killed by one cannon or two.

The chariot not only brought increased firepower, but also brought a powerful deterrent, and the Imperial Army, which had already been in chaos, completely lost the will to fight, and began to flee crying.

"Prepare for a counterattack!"

Two hundred infantry lined up in a long line of skirmishers, firing as they advanced, accompanied by ten chariots, chasing the enemy's buttocks.

Thousands of remnants of the army on the front line fled frantically, and the army behind that was supposed to be engaged in battle was also disrupted and at a loss.

Xia Yu's blood boiled, he won, this battle seems to be won!

However, at this moment, the voice of the air team came from the communicator again, "Lieutenant Colonel, there is not very good news, a cavalry unit is rushing towards our camp, about five thousand people, I think you had better support it, there is no danger on our side, it may not be able to stand it." ”
