Chapter 269 Artillery Extension

"Get ready—let it go!"

【Boom—】

Victoria's soldiers lined up in two rows and pulled the triggers of the ballistae, but this time they were aimed at the sky.

With a neat reloading movement, the officer's command came again.

"Get ready—let it go!"

【Boom—】

Although the Victoria military arranged for a large number of second-class recruits to join the army to reduce the casualties of veterans, Carters and Sakaz would not fight alone, and the number of veterans killed in battle still made Victoria feel heartbroken.

Unlike the cannon fodder who had just joined the army, the well-trained soldiers had plenty of time to get along with each other. They were saddened by the death of their colleagues, so they held a simple funeral.

"Get ready—let it go!"

【Boom—】

Amidst the deafening explosion, Lambart stood silently.

Ferguson died. His old partner who joined the army in the same year, the same training camp, the same dormitory, and fought side by side for many years died.

The news came so unexpectedly that it almost gave him an unreal feeling, and he didn't even have time to feel much sadness in his heart.

There was no spectacular feat, just when he was passing by a street corner, he stretched out his hand to call for the recruits behind him to follow him, and at that moment, an arrow shot through his neck.

At that time, he was leading the troops to fight in another neighborhood. When he came back and heard the news, Ferguson's body had been put away.

He seems to understand a little bit why domestic researchers say that there is not much difference between new recruits and veterans in urban combat.

The only battlefields in urban areas are streets or buildings.The street is just over a hundred meters long and only a dozen meters wide at most.

How well can veterans hide themselves?How big a mistake can a new recruit make?Moreover, whether it is streets or buildings, the distribution density of soldiers is much greater than that in the field, which greatly weakens the recruits' fearlessness, after all, there are friendly forces around them.

That being the case, is it unnecessary for me to let the veterans in the army lead the new recruits?If, like other troops, the new recruits were allowed to clear the way, maybe Ferguson wouldn't have died?

"One battalion commander! One battalion commander!"

Lambart shouted, hearing the voice of his superiors, the first battalion commander of the Kent County Regiment ran over quickly.

"exist!"

"Take out all your officers and soldiers... below the platoon leader, and put them in the second and third battalions, and then gather all our new recruits, the new recruits after coming to Rem Billiton, to your place. From now on, you will The battalion is responsible for the first wave of attacks.”

"This……"

"Do as I say!"

"Yes!"

The battalion commander saluted and ran away quickly.

Lambart's approach caused a chain reaction, and Victoria's combat troops all imitated this arrangement.Because this makes the difference between veterans and recruits clearer, and it also makes it easier for them to attack without any scruples.

After the artillery bombardment, the recruits rushed in, and the veterans rushed in after the recruits finished charging.Although it doesn't look good, these multiple waves of attacks further intensify the intensity of the battle, which indeed makes it more difficult for Carters to withstand them.

If they can't bear it, the pressure will naturally be placed on Sakaz.

In order to curb Victoria's offensive, the commander of the artillery regiment of the [-]st Experimental Division put forward a point of view.

"We've always had artillery fire stop after the infantry engaged the enemy, and I don't think it should have stopped."

He reported his thoughts to Manteuffel. While Manteuffel recorded it, he also said: "In this case, what should we do if it causes friendly fire? You are supporting Carters in the battle, and it is difficult for us to explain the friendly fire. "

"I know Commander, I don't intend to bombard the same position."

The artillery regiment commander explained: "After the frontline troops contact the enemy, the artillery should bombard the enemy slightly behind. This will block the enemy's movement and will not hurt our army. Special artillery shells can also be used."

Manteuffel was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized which shell he was talking about.

"Yes, but drones must be used for precise guidance."

"clear."

The artillery regiment commander wrote a request for assistance and submitted it to the drone combat unit, asking them to allocate part of their force to provide them with precise guidance.

The drone combat unit readily agreed.

Here, since the Victorians were severely bombed by them, all logistical transportation has been carried out at night.This is indeed their weakness. They cannot see clearly and cannot bomb, and the combat intensity plummets. Apart from harassing the Victorians and trying to detect the location of the enemy's artillery, there is basically nothing to do.

Not only can you find some work this time, but you might even get an unexpected surprise...

After some allocation, 160 weapon masters were separately deployed to provide fire guidance for the artillery in urban operations, and were also equipped with a special communication channel.

After controlling his own drone and hiding it on a roof, the mechanic started the communication, "This is the guidance aircraft A1, can the A1 gun crew hear it?"

"audible."

Although mixed with the rumbling sound of artillery, the sound in the headphones was still relatively clear.

"The shelling position is within visual range. The enemy, 23 people, is moving along the street from south to north. You can try shelling."

"receive."

After hearing the reply from the weapon master, the Sakaz artilleryman on the artillery position took out a shell from the ammunition box, made a fist and pushed it into the barrel of the gun.

"put!"

The shooting angle and direction had already been adjusted. When the gunner pulled the match, the propellant was activated and immediately began to release its own energy, pushing the warhead across the rifling and flying into the distance.

"Falling in 4 seconds."

The weapon master counted silently for a few seconds while staring at the screen in front of him. When it returned to zero, a small burst of smoke suddenly exploded beside the team.

It didn't look very powerful, and even the tattered walls around it didn't move. However, a group of people lay down, and a burst of blood mist even blew in the surrounding air.

"What kind of shell is this?"

"The one who beats people."

Originally, there were walls everywhere in the urban area, which could provide strong cover for the soldiers. Anti-personnel artillery shells were not initially intended to be used in such places.But in streets and alleys, the density of soldiers among each other has become slightly larger, coupled with the guidance of drones, which gives it a narrow range of applications.

Anti-personnel shells one after another, guided by the drone, fell on the enemy's rear.The flying metal particles blasted these offensive forces, who were waiting for the second wave of attacks, into bloody pieces.

For the Sakaz artillerymen, they were all victorians, so there was no big difference.But this is a bit painful for the Victorians themselves.

"What? Hit by enemy artillery fire? They crossed the line to bombard you?"

"Let's be clear! How many died? There aren't many left!!"

The veteran who had been carefully preserved was actually eaten by Jessakaz!At the same time, it also caused an interruption in the offensive rhythm!

This news shocked Victoria's division commanders and their eyes widened, "Move our drones over! We must disperse Sakaz's drones!"

Several division commanders on the front line simultaneously applied to Harold for drone support, claiming that the front line's offensive had been severely disrupted by Sakaz drones and that it was no longer possible to organize an offensive.

Harold couldn't ignore the unanimous opinions of so many officers. He could only withdraw half of the drones that were on alert around the artillery position.

Victoria's weapon masters understand that their power in Rem Billiton is weaker than the current Sarkaz.Therefore, in order to preserve their own strength, they did not let the drone directly hit Sakaz's drone. Instead, they chose to force Sakaz's drone into the attack range of the Victoria infantry, and then used ballistae to deal with it.

The weapon masters responsible for guiding the artillery fire were immediately affected. They had to concentrate on avoiding Victoria's drones. However, in the desert, another batch of long-awaited drones slowly took off.

Chapter 270: Unable to penetrate, unstoppable

At night, darkness obscured the sight, and the war-torn land of Rembito finally fell into silence again.

After fighting in the city for a day, the Victoria troops put down all their ammunition and began to return to the rear assembly area in batches to rest.Here, soldiers can sleep peacefully without worrying about the enemy. Everything is left to the dedicated security forces on duty.

"Tell me, how did our battle end like this? At the beginning, everyone said that they came to Rem Billiton to pick the fruits of victory that the Duke of Wellington ignored."

At a sentry post on the edge of the camp, two sentries were chatting quietly, passing the long night and dispelling the sleepiness that was tormenting him.

"That sounds nice, but how many people have been filled in now?"

Another sentry clicked his tongue disdainfully, "That general of ours, what kind of battles have he been fighting? The Duke of Wellington has been fighting at Rem Billiton for a long time. How many people died there? Only a total of There are thousands of people, we have tens of thousands here, or tens of thousands."

"Those people can be generals and they always know something, but I heard that Harold is a cold-blooded guy."

After carefully looking around, he said to his companions: "I heard from the new guy from the Communications Department that Harold wants us to bleed here and there with Sarkaz! We have to How many people will die? He might be able to advance to another level, but how many people like us ordinary people will have to die."

"I've heard of this too, but it seems to have failed. People on the front line came back and said that the demons are so precious to their own people that it's hard to see them. Basically, Carters rushes in front, and the demons are behind them. Stay behind and support us with some artillery fire."

The sentry smiled contemptuously, "That executioner, Harold, is still shouting about consuming the demons, but in fact he is beating up Carters."

"Of course. If this fails to be blunt, then his hat will not be saved. That is General Sijun..."

【Whoosh——】

The conversation between the two stopped suddenly, and their bodies suddenly softened.Because two arrows flying out of the darkness hit their heads at the same time, one pierced the temple and the other hit the forehead.

"Quick! Move quickly!"

A group of figures quickly emerged from the desert night. As the captain, Fritz ordered in a low voice: "Groups 4 and 5 follow me to disrupt the camp and attract attention, while the rest rush straight to Victoria's artillery position!"

At this moment, it happens to be the time for team exchange in the camp.The well-rested soldiers were transferred to the city to prepare for tomorrow morning's battle at the officer's orders, while the returning soldiers were walking drowsily towards their camps. There were at least tens of thousands of people in a state of mobility, which was the entire camp. The most confusing time.

The soldiers of the Signal Flag Troops had already taken a good look at the location before breaking into the Victoria camp. Most of the Victorians in this small camp were called up to join the battle, and the returning soldiers were not fully in place.

A Victoria soldier yawned and walked in the corridor between the tents. After a day of fighting, he was already very tired, but the superior ordered him to get some food back.

"I really want to sleep."

He rubbed his eyes, and vaguely seemed to see a few strong men rushing towards him. They should be soldiers from the fighting force. They must have forgotten something and ran back to get it.

'What an unlucky person...'

The Sakaz warriors trotted forward, and in the sound of their deliberately low footsteps, a few pieces of Victoria bread fell to the ground.The soldier who was holding them had fallen into the sand.

A group stopped in front of a moving tent. One of them took out the throwing unit, pulled out the safety, lifted the corner of the tent curtain, and swung it in.

"Ok?"

There was no light or noise, just a slight sound of surprise, and then there was no more movement in the tent.The Sakaz soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed in and gave the unconscious Victoria soldiers a heartache one by one.

The soldiers in other groups did not stand still. They spread further around, holding individual crossbows and shooting at anyone they saw.At the same time, above their heads, the drone not only provided them with defensive techniques, but also provided them with reconnaissance vision. Moreover, the attack of the individual crossbow made no sound, so no matter which direction an enemy appeared, they could deal with it calmly.

However, this is a military camp where tens of thousands of people live, and it is impossible to remain undetected.

"There are enemies coming in!"

"The demons have sneaked into the camp!"

The body was discovered by the Victoria soldiers. They screamed and the camp exploded.

"What? Return to Camp C2? We have received the battle order and are moving towards the city."

"Get ready for battle? My troops have been fighting in the city for a day. How can we still have the strength to fight! And we have no ammunition!"

As the situation was reported step by step, and then organized into orders and issued, there was a certain degree of confusion among Victoria's troops. This was actually nothing to the veterans. All they had to do was follow their superiors, so nothing would happen. No matter what is wrong, even if there is a problem, someone will take care of it.

But now there are a large number of new recruits in Rem Billiton's Victoria Army!Their thinking is more flexible.

"This is a camp! How can there be enemies!"

"Yes! This is the rear!... Are we surrounded by Carters?!"

【boom--】

【boom--】

The fire and noise of the explosion further stimulated the fragile nerves of the recruits. Seeing that they might collapse at any time, the officers could only order all the soldiers who had withdrawn from the city to squat on the ground to rest, and then prepare to go to the city to fight. The troops were gradually transferred back to the camp after distributing ammunition.

Although the Victorians knew that Sakaz had come in now, it was still dark at the moment, and the light in the camp could not dispel all the darkness.The black patches between the light sources may be Sarkazi's hiding place, and Victoria's soldiers could only search cautiously and vaguely.

Knowing that they had been discovered, the Sakaz warriors did not hide anymore. They directly started to use explosive arrows and put fragmentation covers on them.

Where the film crew didn't notice, blasting arrows flew into the crowd of people running around in confusion. The shock wave of the explosion enveloped the metal pieces, harvesting the lives around them.

Signal flag group 4, unexpectedly discovered a tent that was different. There were actually armed guards guarding the outside.

The Sakaz soldiers didn't know what was inside and couldn't rush over rashly, so they aimed at the ventilation holes on the side of the tent and fired four blasting arrows with fragmentation covers.

【boom--】

The tent was riddled with shrapnel, and even the guards guarding it fell down.

"They are here! The demons are here!"

The Victoria soldiers who finally saw their target shouted wildly, and they aimed their crossbows at Sakaz not far away.

【Boom—】

【Ding--】
