The shelling by government forces lasted only five minutes.
When the ground troops launched an attack, the Air Force fighter jets had been circling over the government positions. The "Strong Wind" fighter jets could carry bombs and be used as close air support aircraft. As soon as the government artillery started shelling, they were stopped by the "Strong Wind" fighter jets in the air.
It was discovered that a large number of "Strong Winds" swarmed in. Although the government's air defense troops resisted desperately, the "Strong Winds" were more powerful. The power of the 50 kilogram aerial bombs was still acceptable, and the "Strong Winds" could carry 6 bombs at a time.
The 155mm howitzer shell weighs only 50 kilograms.
However, the weight of the artillery shell includes the propellant, and the entire weight of the aerial bomb is the warhead, excluding the propellant.
Moreover, the performance of aerial bombs produced in Southern Africa is a bit crazy. High-explosive bombs are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying are incendiary bombs. The government artillery positions only lasted less than five minutes under the indiscriminate bombardment by "strong winds".
Fall apart.
Looking at the artillery position below that had turned into a sea of flames, the "strong wind" high above flapped its wings with satisfaction and circled back directly. The ground troops below were already attacking the government positions under the cover of tanks.
With the cooperation of tanks, the battle becomes extremely boring.
During the Battle of the Somme, the infantry launched human sea tactics without any cover, and the machine guns showed off, killing 60,000 people in one day, which shocked the whole world.
With the cooperation of tanks, the infantry of the Mizhou Army lined up in two rows during the attack, hiding behind the two tracks of the tanks, and cautiously approached the government army positions.
At this time, the shelling of the Mizhou Army did not stop. The 155mm howitzer position was 10 kilometers away from the government position. Now the artillery fire had begun to extend deep into the government position. The ones providing cover for the attacking troops were replaced by 75mm artillery with a smaller caliber.
These artillery pieces are the famous "Miss Qiwu". This artillery was produced in the last century, and its performance is still not far behind.
It must be said that the soldiers of the Mizhou Army are quite proficient in infantry and artillery coordination. Those in the tanks are all veterans. They control the speed and advance slowly to follow the explosion point of the artillery shells. They must also pay attention to attacking fixed targets at any time. The 75 used by the "Light Cavalry"
The power of the millimeter tank gun is quite good. It is very effective against the machine gun positions of the government troops. The 7.7 mm caliber coaxial machine gun is even more powerful against the infantry. With the cooperation of the tanks, the Mizhou Army is like cutting into butter.
A table knife is extremely sharp.
“30 degrees to the left, government machine gun position.” Karl lay behind the tank turret to remind the tanker of the target direction.
The tank slowly stopped and the turret began to rotate. At this time, the tank did not have the ability to fire while maneuvering.
Boom
The bunker made of sandbags was directly torn open by the artillery shells, and the earth and rocks were flying across the sky and filled with smoke. Before the smoke dispersed, the light cavalry fired again. This time, fireworks finally burst out. The effect was very satisfying.
The soldiers following the tank felt too relaxed. The real battlefield was completely different from what the instructor described. There was no blood and flesh flying everywhere, and there were no mountains of blood and corpses. From the beginning of the attack to now, many soldiers are still
No actual enemy soldiers were seen.
But the good luck ends there.
The government troops were not idle during this period. In order to restrain the Mizhou Army's tank troops, the government troops dug anti-tank trenches in front of their positions, making it impossible for the tank troops to move forward.
“Demoman, Demoman,” Karl shouted to the demolition team. At this time, explosives were used to blow up the anti-tank trench. Only a slope needed to be blown up to ensure that the tank could continue to move forward.
Then Carl realized that the Mizhou Army did not have a demolition force at all.
Compared with infantry, demolition requires more professional skills, and ordinary soldiers simply cannot do it.
In the past, Brazil didn’t even have tanks, so there was no need for demolitions. Karl ordered the soldiers to tie grenades together and try to use them as demolition tubes.
However, all the deceptive Southern African hand grenades were oval-shaped grenades that could not be tied together at all. Seeing that the troops nearby had abandoned the cover of tanks and jumped into the anti-tank trenches, Karl could no longer hold back.
“Attack, attack, continue to attack.” Karl blew the whistle on his chest vigorously. Even if he lost the cover of the tanks, Karl was sure to break through the government defense line.
At this time, Anthony, who was in a panic, finally caught up.
“That’s great Anthony, I’m so glad you’re still alive.” Karl laughed, the Bodhisattva is still very useful.
“God said I can live another fifty years!” Antony was proud. The mercenaries were best at saving their lives.
The two armies joined together, and Karl sadly discovered that the 120-man company at the time of departure now had less than 90 men left.
Infantry is indeed defenseless when facing artillery.
Climbing over the anti-tank trench, there is another barbed wire fence dozens of meters wide in front of you.
The moment Karl saw the barbed wire fence, he was reminded of the brutal trench warfare during the World War.
I hope the government troops did not lay landmines under the barbed wire fence.
The government troops are still very experienced. At this time, the barbed wire fence in front of them is clearly visible. Karl lies on the ground and observes carefully. The government troops have built permanent fortifications on the defense line. Although the number is not large, if they launch an attack directly, the attacking troops will still suffer.
huge loss.
“We need artillery support.” Only then did Karl realize how rare it is to have a strong country behind him.
If it were the Southern African National Defense Force, they would either wait for the tanks to come up or wait for artillery support. Anyway, they would not use the flesh and blood of soldiers to attack the enemy's permanent fortifications.
The enemy hiding in the bunker is waiting for the attacking troops to come up and die.
Anthony doesn’t talk nonsense. He is a standard man of action. He first throws a smoke bomb in front, takes out pliers to cut a gap in the barbed wire, and then orders the troops to attack.
It is impossible to take the lead. Neither the Southern African Defense Force nor the Umbrella encourages officers to take the lead in an attack. The standard procedure in this case is to wait for support.
If it were the Southern African National Defense Force, the best weapon to deal with barbed wire and landmines is to use a blasting tube to blast a passage. As long as the problem can be solved with equipment, the Southern African National Defense Force never uses human sea tactics.
Of course, if the battle goes to the end, the Southern African Defense Forces have never lacked the courage to sacrifice. This has been proven in world wars.
The Mizhou Army is not so humane. Humanity is something that can only be qualified after the economic and social development reaches a certain level. Under the premise that human lives are not as valuable as rifles, the human sea tactic is the most appropriate tactic.
Anthony only cut the barbed wire, but did not clear the mines.
As a result, as soon as the soldiers poured in along the barbed wire fence, several landmines exploded in the crowd, and the machine guns in the bunker opened fire at the same time. More than a dozen soldiers fell down in an instant, and the remaining soldiers stopped moving forward.
“Attack, attack, keep attacking!” Anthony waved his pistol with a fierce voice. At this time, if anyone dared to disobey the order, Anthony would really dare to shoot.
The soldiers were terrified.
To attack forward, there are mine arrays and barbed wire fences.
If you disobey orders, Anthony will definitely kill the chicken and the monkey.
Papapapa
Antony did not give the soldiers time to struggle, and shot one soldier continuously and knocked him to the ground. The other soldiers were suddenly shocked and inexplicable.
Attack
You may die or you may win.
flinch
Anthony, who will die, is unsmiling on weekdays. At this moment, he will never show mercy.
So I can only rush forward with my scalp in mind.
Boom
Hum, boom, boom
The shells kept exploding.
Citizens from
Various light and heavy machine guns were firing wildly.
“Long live!”
The soldiers of the Mizhou Army howled wildly, raised their bayonet-mounted rifles and launched a desperate charge towards the government army positions.
The casualties were indeed heavy. Rows of soldiers were cut down to the ground like wheat in front of the heavy machine guns.
The shells exploded in the crowd like rats thrown into a hot pan of oil. Looking from the sky, the attacking soldiers of the US Army were as weak and helpless as sheep, sometimes scattering, sometimes gathering together, each one
A shell exploding among the soldiers would take away dozens or even hundreds of lives. The ground would soon be covered with a thick layer of corpses, so that barbed wire and landmines would gradually lose their effectiveness under the cover of corpses.
War is so cruel.
Under successive attacks by the fearless soldiers of the Mizhou Army, the forward of the Mizhou Army finally approached the government army position.
At this time, several tanks suddenly rushed out of the government army positions. These tanks did not even fire, but rushed directly towards the attacking Mizhou Army soldiers.
How can a body of flesh and blood compete with a steel monster?
In front of the roaring tanks, the fighting will of the soldiers of the Mizhou Army finally collapsed completely, and they retreated like a tide, and the attack completely failed.
Of course, these tanks were not much better. They had no chance to return to their positions. The Mizhou Army fighter planes that were hovering in the air spotted the government tanks and surrounded them like sharks smelling blood. They dived towards the tanks one after another.
An aerial bomb was slowly thrown from the sky, hitting it accurately and trying to avoid it, but in the eyes of the fighter pilot, the tank was extremely slow, and after a violent explosion, everything fell silent.
After Karl's company withdrew, less than forty people were left in the ninety-man company. At this time, no one was sure to hold Anthony accountable for his crazy behavior during the battle. When they returned to the starting position, everyone was in despair.
Within a short period of time, Carl's company had lost its combat capability.
Of course, the fighting has not stopped here. The fighting will only stop after either the government army or the Mizhou Army completely loses its combat capability.
Under the gaze of Karl and Antony, thousands of attacking troops regrouped. Looking at the eager soldiers, Karl and Antony looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and silently led the troops back to the rear to rest.
And there is still a fight to be had.
ps: I have something to do in the morning, sorry for being late
