We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"Then just come a few more times. Can Sarkaz's arrows still damage the warship?"

Duke Stafford stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air.

He didn't know how the Parliamentary Army was doing when it came to crushing objects with battleships, but Victoria's noble fleet had done it many times, so he knew the effect.

Chapter 241 Border Standing Forces

Although I have a good plan in mind, I can’t use it yet.Harold could only think of a way to deal with the current situation with his regular troops.

"Judging from the current distance of the Sakaz troops, their artillery can already provide fire support to the city of Eureka. So in the following daytime battles, artillery support is no longer exclusive to us."

Harold summoned his subordinates overnight and informed them of the latest movements of the Sakaz troops, which shocked the people around him.

"General, can't we suppress Sakaz's artillery fire?"

An officer's face was full of confusion. He knew very well that his own artillery performance completely suppressed Sakaz's weapons, and with the assistance of Carters, why couldn't he complete the combat goal?

"The specific situation is unknown. Maybe Kazdaele really spent a lot of money, and continued to replenish artillery to Rem Billiton outside of our surveillance. In short, the artillery power of Kazdaele's army has not declined at all, but there are still some A small improvement.”

Harold had a look of annoyance on his face. Sarkaz's poor artillery was also an artillery piece, and it would kill people if fired.

"Then shall we continue to attack the city of Eureka, or shall we attack the Kazdaele forces?"

As soon as this question was raised, everyone became a little nervous, and no one wanted to bite a hard nut.

"...Continue to attack the city of Eureka, but change the main direction of attack."

Harold drew a new offensive line on the military map. "Originally, in order to weaken Sakaz's influence on our army's flanks, our main attack direction has been on the west side of Eureka city. But now it is different. , our main force will attack to the east starting tomorrow."

"Sarkaz still doesn't seem to have completely made up his mind to intervene in the Rem Billiton war. Their troops have not entered the city to mince meat with us, and have not merged with Carters. Then we will take advantage of this gap to penetrate Carters. Sri Lanka’s eastern defense line went around the city to the left flank of Sakaz’s troops…”

The officers present were relieved to hear that the actual target of the attack was Carters, but what surprised them was that Harold said.

"The situation is different from before. The threat of Sakaz to us is getting bigger and bigger. They are now our main enemy! Someone must restrain the demon guy's right wing, otherwise the attacking force will be caught between Sakaz and Carters. Hit him."

He ordered: "The Stormtroopers and... the 51st Highland Division will be responsible for launching an attack on Sakaz's right wing tomorrow. I will provide you with priority support."

Harold ranked Sakaz's threat above capturing downtown Eureka.His determination to fight at this moment was completely different from before. He didn't want to waste time on Sakaz anymore. He was going to compress the space for Sakaz's troops to move, and then let the destroyers come up and kill all the demons digging trenches!

After it became the first priority target, the resources used around it were different from before.

As a ray of morning light appeared on the earth, the Victorians once again began to attack the urban area of ​​Eureka, but at the same time their drones began to be dispatched in groups.Previously, in order to avoid their own losses, they tried not to engage in combat with Sakaz's drones, and only used them to guard the flanks and guide artillery from a distance.

But today, they will forcefully break through Sakaz's drone defense circle and conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the new defensive position of Sakaz's ground forces.

Victoria's artillery troops are transporting artillery shells and preparing excess steam. They are waiting for accurate intelligence sent back from the drone.The 51st Highland Division specially transferred by Harold was enjoying their breakfast today in a completely safe area, which was all fresh vegetables and animal meat shipped in the early morning.

Just like the blood demons and goliaths in Sakazne and other branches with different characteristics, Felin also has his own branch with superior physical fitness.

The 51st Highland Division is a standing force on the Victoria border. Its combat readiness rate has always remained above 90%. The soldiers are all composed of powerful branches of the Felin ethnic group, which is not much different from Sakaz.It is also the backbone of Victoria's mission to Rem Billiton this time.

The soldiers looked at the drone in the sky curiously, but no one in the entire camp spoke, they were all eating their own food.There were only a few officers discussing actions around the map.

"Most of Sakaz's body is in the soil. It can be seen that relying on the ballista alone will have little effect."

"Let's gather all the grenadiers, give them an extra layer of armor, and let them advance...to throw grenades within 90 meters of the shelling range, and then order the entire army to assault."

"Then let's act together and launch attacks at multiple points simultaneously."

The specific information has not yet been released, but the officers of the 51st Highland Division have already begun to prepare for the operation in advance.They are all professional soldiers from Victoria, with rich practical experience and combat initiative.

"Where's the drone? Is there any information coming back?"

"No."

Hearing his commander's question, the communications soldier of the 51st Highland Division shook his head, "The guys in the drone unit are in a hurry now."

In the desert airspace between the [-]st Experimental Division and Victoria's troops, Sakaz's drone and Victoria's drone were entangled.

Referring to the experience summarized in the Leitania War, the Victorians also conducted special collision training for their weapon masters.However, in terms of the organization of the army, Victoria's weapon masters are still subordinate to the ground forces. Unlike Sakaz, they have become a specialized unit with special communication lines and even communication relay drones. .

Therefore, when it comes to long-distance operations, the response of Victoria's drone is somewhat stiff.

However, this does not mean that the Victorians are at a disadvantage. On the contrary, Sakaz is also anxious.

"Why are Victoria's drones so powerful?"

Many weapon masters lamented that Victoria's drone surpassed them in speed and sensitivity!If we didn't have a large enough number of fighting drones on our side, I might not be able to stop them!

However, this situation cannot last long. The drone's field of view is limited and it is impossible to take care of the entire vast airspace in chaotic conditions.

Finally, Victoria's artillery received a piece of data, and the Victoria field artillery that had been prepared began to roar. The 51st Highland Infantry Division also quickly arrived at the preset battle starting point and began to move forward in battle formation.

Chapter 242 All-front attack

【boom--】

【boom--】

【boom--】

Victoria's artillery shells fell on Sakaz's position like raindrops. Driven by the explosion of dust, it rose high. From a distance, it looked like it was shrouded in a sandstorm.

Victoria's senior generals rarely visit the front line in person, but Harold made an exception today and came to the front line.

"How long until the attack starts?"

"General, there are still 20 minutes."

Harold responded lightly and turned to look ahead. The soldiers of the 51st Highland Division were crawling forward. According to the instructions on the sand table, they had reached 150 meters in front of the Sakaz position.

"How long have we prepared for the artillery fire this time?"

"Two hours, General. This is the standard of fire coverage for Ursus' troops when we fight Ursus."

Victoria's artillery commander replied confidently: "Two hours of continuous bombardment will not only directly hit the enemy, but will also cause the density of the Originium component in the surrounding air to increase dramatically."

"There are no commanding heights in the desert near here, but Sakaz's position is static, so we can cover them. And if they want to attack us, they must use drones to guide artillery to confirm our position. But in that environment everything is Wireless communication equipment will fail, drones will not work properly, and Sakaz’s artillery will become blind.”

"At the same time, once you are injured in this environment and do not receive timely medical treatment, you will definitely become infected. However, according to our physical analysis of Victoria Sakaz, they are a race susceptible to ori disease, and they do not even need to be injured. One puff will make you infected."

This sentence caused laughter from many officers around him, and some young ones even optimistically predicted, "Maybe they will be afraid and retreat."

"Ah? We also prepared extra spare steam that is enough to sustain continuous shooting for half an hour. Isn't that a waste?"

"This time we gave these demons enough face."

"...Really? I hope it's as you said."

There were many subordinates around. Harold did not finish his words like the young officer, but in his heart he agreed with the officer's last words.

'I've already given these demons a lot of face. '

The 51st Highland Division's attack on Sakaz's right wing was just the tip of the iceberg today.

Harold did not fight alone, he joined forces with the Duke of Stafford.The Duke launched an attack east of Eureka city and tried his best to penetrate Carters' defense zone.The two troops, one on the right and one on the left, will complete the encirclement of Sakaz's troops.

In order to cope with these two main attacking forces, the rest of Victoria's forces will launch a very large-scale diversionary attack on the entire front from the city of Eureka to the Sakaz position in the east.

This is the first time they have carried out a large-scale military operation in Rem Billiton.

10:01am.

The Sakaz soldiers hiding in the anti-gun cave suddenly realized that the explosion of the Victoria artillery shells had stopped like pressing the pause button, and then there was the harsh sound caused by the Sakaz observers hitting the horns.

This was a backup means of warning everyone in the event that words could not be spoken, meaning the Victorians were coming.

"Put on your protective mask and enter the combat position!"

The squad leader squatted at the door of the bomb-proof cave. He had a detector equipped with Originium components on his body.This gadget was buzzing now, and according to the regulations, he had to check whether his subordinates were wearing protective masks in a good manner.

The Sakaz soldiers who were so wrapped up that their faces could not be seen ran out of the artillery holes. They found that the formation of the Victorians had become looser today, but they did not lie down and move forward. They were hunched over and trotting forward, some people were shooting and some people were moving forward, doing it very professionally.

Spells and mortar shells fell from time to time, but they caused no casualties to the loosely staffed Victoria soldiers.

The Sakaz soldiers used individual crossbows to fight back, but they were not lethal enough. They were also overwhelmed by the dangerous crossbows and found it difficult to raise their heads. They couldn't help but look at their platoon leader.

"Platoon leader, what's going on today? Why is our mortar so accurate?"

"I don't know, what did these guys do?"

Just when the infantry platoon leader looked anxious, in the mortar position at the rear, the artillery crew members were also as anxious as bugs on a hot pot.

Their observation drone will lose control and fall as soon as it gets close to the front line, and it can't be seen clearly when it is far away!The problem could not be eliminated for a while, so they asked the front line for human observation and guidance. Although it was not very accurate, it at least had a general direction.

But what surprised them was that they couldn't contact the front line.

"What should I do? Do I have to come back from the front line and report alone after firing a gun?"

"Let's fire in the general direction first. If we fire farther away, it's better than not firing at all, and we won't hurt our own people."

Nothing was right. The mortar troops could only report the incident, but before getting a response, the frontline troops could only make do with it.

Seeing that today's mortars and spells were always inaccurate, the infantry squad leaders on the front line unloaded the magazines of their individual crossbows, then took out the heavy explosive arrows they had just been issued and loaded them with them. The upper fuze is also covered with a fragmentation cover.

"They all said this stuff is amazing, so I'll try it today."

The squad leader placed it on the crossbow bed, then leaned against the trench and raised the individual crossbow slightly.

【Whoosh——】

"Bam—"

"what--"

The explosion was not loud, but there was a roar of Victorian cries.

When the surrounding Sakaz soldiers saw this, they immediately leaned out, aimed at the vital parts, and shot several Victoria soldiers who tried to check on friendly forces to the ground.

"Monitor! This thing is pretty good! Do you have any more?"

Seeing the excitement of his subordinates, he was troubled, "I only gave two of these to each class. Go to other troops and see if you can borrow a few."

"Eh."

After receiving the order from the squad leader, the Sakaz soldier immediately ran out along the trench, but when he came to the positions of other squads, he found that they were all facing the attack of the Victorians.

"Explosive arrows? We've used them up a long time ago, and we want them too."

Each unit sent manpower to seek fire support from their superiors. When the relevant information was summarized in the hands of Walken, the commander of the [-]st Experimental Division, he was startled into a cold sweat.

'Frontline communications are basically useless? !And the position he was responsible for was facing a full-scale attack by the Victorians? !The scale is still one division! ! '

He immediately ordered, "Move the mortar forward! Set it up directly into the first line of trenches and attack! This will not hurt your own people! Also, messenger, report the situation here to the division commander! Request reinforcements!"

Chapter 243 After the trench comes the trench

It is not a simple thing for a regiment to resist a division.Victoria's 51st Highland Division had already replaced its offensive troops for two rounds, but Sakaz had no way to replace them.

In order to deal with the immediate emergency, Walken moved his regiment forward to the front line along with the mortars.Here he could hear the cries of death from the front lines.

Walken looked at the Victoria troops carefully with a telescope, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Filin is not afraid of death today."

The Victoria troops in front of them pushed forward despite mortar bombardment and arrows. When they approached 50 meters, they launched a full-speed charge.

It takes courage to move forward quickly in the face of artillery fire and arrows. The Victoria troops we usually see charge in a relatively dense style, because this can create an atmosphere for the soldiers with friendly forces on both sides and provide a sense of illusion. sense of security.

But the troops on the field today, from the initial charge to jumping into the trench, were always in a very loose formation, and there was not a single deserter in the whole process.

After entering the trenches, these soldiers' close combat abilities were generally stronger than those of the previous soldiers. Moreover, they dared to pull the trigger of the crossbow in the crowd without worrying about accidentally injuring friendly parties.

The position that Walken paid attention to was in charge of one company, but Victoria packed two companies of offensive troops here, obviously hoping to make a key breakthrough, and they had already entered the trench.

"It's such a shame to change people like this. Retreat to the reserve position!"

Two fists were unable to defeat four hands, so he quickly ordered the troops to retreat.The signal flares shot into the sky, and the Sakaz who were fighting the Victorian soldiers moved back to protect the mortars, which caused a burst of cheers from the Victorians.

They finally broke through Sakaz's defenses!

"Follow them! Kill them all!"

Victoria's soldiers kept up with Sakaz's retreat.

The smile did not last long. The Victoria soldiers who were chasing excitedly noticed that the demon man ran back for a certain distance and then jumped into some ditch, leaving only his head exposed.

'...(⊙_⊙)? And? '
