"Bang!" With a dull sound, a soldier from the Lions Empire fired a rifle grenade from behind the barricade at the Tang Army's position in the distance.
His rifle grenade is installed on the muzzle of the rifle, fired using ammunition similar to blank bullets, and throws a grenade to a distance to attack.
This thing is inspired by the rifle grenades of the Tang Empire, but compared with the grenade launchers of the Tang Empire, the technology is quite primitive.
But primitives are primitives, and on such a battlefield, it can still cause trouble to the troops of the Tang Empire. The grenade exploded on the other side of the street, leaving the Tang soldiers behind a few sandbags disgraced.
In fact, it's just a disgrace... The accuracy of this thing is really disappointing. If you are hit by this kind of thing, it only means that this person's luck is really bad.
The Tang army took advantage of the civilian riots in Yucheng to invade the urban area and established a huge bridgehead in the urban area. The coalition forces were caught off guard and could only stick to their existing positions to prevent the Tang army from further expanding the occupied area.
The two sides fought fiercely in several streets. Because the coalition forces still had the upper hand, the street fighting was quite stalemate.
"What the hell! Can't these bastards surrender honestly?" After spitting out the dust in his mouth, the Tang Army soldier behind the sandbag cursed and loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher under his rifle.
His grenade launcher's accuracy was much better than that of his opponent. He aimed at the opponent's barricade in the gap between the sandbags, and he decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" There was also a dull sound. The grenade accurately hit the sandbag on the opposite side and exploded between the sandbag and the abandoned bus wreckage.
The seven or eight soldiers of the Lions Empire who were hiding here immediately fell to the ground in a bloody state, and some of the remaining soldiers also lost their combat effectiveness in the explosion.
On the other side of the barricade, the machine gun in the firing hole was still roaring. It seemed that it could still be so arrogant for a while before the heavy firepower of the Tang army arrived.
There is no way, the battle here has been going on for more than an hour, and the rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles carried by the Tang Army's light infantry have been exhausted. Now the Tang Army soldiers have no way to deal with the barricades, so they are here
His steps were blocked.
They have just called for armored support, but it will take at least more than an hour for the nearest tank to arrive in this neighborhood. The artillery cannot cover this place due to the angle problem, so the troops of the Lines Empire seem to have stabilized the defense line here.
"Let them be arrogant for a while! When the tanks come, I'll see how they die!" Another Tang Army infantryman leaned on the sandbag and kept complaining while loading bullets into his magazine.
The other side seems to have no good way to deal with the Tang Army soldiers who are attacking here: the rifle grenade just now is one of the few useful weapons in the hands of the Lions Empire soldiers.
After firing this grenade, the other party only had machine gun fire as a way to suppress the Tang army. It seems that the other party did not arrange a few mortars on the barricade, otherwise the Tang army would have given up this position and retreated.
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, hundreds of reinforced Lions Empire soldiers began to enter the position behind the Lines Empire, on the other side of the barricade.
In the city of Yucheng, the troops of the Lions Empire still have an absolute advantage in strength. At least Paul still has a sufficient number of reserves in hand. The main force of the coalition is still there, and the combat effectiveness is still online.
Dorne also received a request from the Lions Empire and sent three divisions of troops into the city to help suppress the rioting civilians in Jade City. Now the chaos in the coalition-controlled area has gradually subsided, and the streets are almost full of troops.
Without the interference of civilians, the coalition forces in Yucheng City mobilized very quickly. They blocked the way to attack the Tang army, or in other words, they held the remaining defense line in their hands.
On the Tang Army's side, because there were not many troops that broke into the city, they had to stop the attack as soon as they saw the situation was good. From the perspective of the coalition forces, this was due to the effectiveness of their defense.
Therefore, the morale of the coalition forces, who thought they had stabilized the situation, soared and even launched small climaxes of counterattacks, causing a lot of trouble for the Tang army in the city.
But after a day and night of fierce fighting between the two sides, the commander of the coalition forces, Paul, realized that it was no longer possible for him to drive the Tang army out of Jade City.
About 5,000 casualties were placed in front of him. Such losses were unbearable for him. You must know that even on the entire front of Da Mao and Er Mao, the number of casualties in one day would not reach this level.
If he loses 5,000 men every day, he probably only has enough troops to squander for a few months. But this is a real war, not a mathematical game: it is impossible for his troops to die one after another.
In the end, all of his troops died. As long as his troops lost more than 30%, they were in danger of collapse at any time.
"We are here to support you! How is the situation?" The battalion commander of the Lions Imperial Force, who had just arrived at the position, met the friendly commander guarding the barricade.
The commander was also a battalion commander, and his face was still blackened by gunpowder smoke. Holding the helmet on his head with his hand, the battalion commander briefly introduced the battle situation: "The Tang Army on the opposite side has been temporarily suppressed by us.
, they stopped their attack, and I don’t know if they were preparing to retreat or were waiting for their tanks.”
Everyone knows that once the opponent's tank appears on the opposite side of the barricade, the block will basically be lost.
As for why the Tang Army's tanks haven't arrived yet... the new battalion commander knows some of the reasons: "Their tanks didn't arrive here so quickly. We just lost several nearby blocks. We blew them up before retreating."
Some buildings...it is estimated that the Tang army is clearing the ruins, and they will not be able to come over for a while."
In fact, the Tang Army could make a detour, but the battlefield situation was more complicated and the detour would also take time. This is why it took more than an hour for armored troops to arrive to support the Tang Army.
"How many people have you brought? Do you have a rocket launcher?" The battalion commander guarding the barricade touched his pocket and found that he had finished smoking his cigarette.
The new battalion commander also seemed to be a smoker. When he saw the other person's movements, he knew that the other person was looking for cigarettes. He smiled and took out the cigarette case from his pocket.
This kind of cigarette is a specialty of the Lions Empire, a very famous civilian cigarette. This stuff is very popular with soldiers, but as the war progresses, the quality of this brand of cigarettes is really getting worse day by day.
