"What is that?" On the defense line of the Holy Demon Empire, at the edge of a barracks with about 100 people, a soldier in charge pressed the long sword on his waist, stared at the swaying and restless forest in the distance, and narrowed his eyes.
Eyes remind one's companions.
"Alert! Alert! Enemy attack!" His companion drew his long sword and prepared for battle outside the camp: "It's the large army of Ailan Hill! Prepare to fight!"
Hearing his cry, these soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire began to send troops to form a formation. They relied on the camp to prepare for defense. A pair of eyes behind the visor looked at the trees in front of them that seemed to be resurrected.
"Thud, tug, tug!" A row of tracer bullets fired over and hit the large defensive magic array on the edge of the camp, causing the huge magic array to bloom with a light blue light. All areas where the Magic Empire is stationed are equipped with such a
The magic circle can prevent the opponent from attacking, and can also serve as a temporary position to support defense.
It's a pity that before the magic circle could swallow up the flying bullets, a cannonball hit the magic defense wall. The light blue magic defense barrier, which was not clear in the first place, followed the impact of the cannonball.
, instantly disappeared into the air.
Click! An M4 tank with an indomitable momentum broke a small tree on the edge of the forest, ran over the bushes in front, rolled its tracks, and appeared in front of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire.
Immediately afterwards, the second M4 tank appeared, also running over the bushes, revealing its tall frontal armor. In the center, white paint was used to outline the outline of the Holy Demon Empire's eagle, forming a white hollow eagle.
Eagle pattern.
Tanks appeared one after another at the edge of the jungle. Behind these tanks were groups of Airan Hill soldiers. The soldiers at the front were holding stg-44 assault rifles and pointing at the Holy Demon.
The soldiers of the Empire poured out the ammunition from their guns.
The soldier holding the mg-42 machine gun quickly found an excellent cover position, where he set up the bipod of the machine gun and then opened the cover of the gun body. The deputy shooter was already in place, loading the ammunition
The ammunition chain from the box was pulled out and pressed under the cover of the machine gun.
The next second, the Airan Hill machine gunner who pulled the bolt began to fire, and the tracer bullets flew into the formation of soldiers from the Holy Demon Empire.
"What on earth is that!" A soldier from the Holy Demon Empire watched as the tank ran over the wooden horses outside their camp, as easily as breaking a small tree. The steel monster didn't seem to care about the things blocking the road at all.
The rampage is superb.
He saw with his own eyes that the Airan Hill soldiers standing on the tank controlled the machine guns on the steel monster and fired at the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire from top to bottom.
And that steel monster had machine guns on its head and body that could shoot out tongues of flame, shooting out dense tracer bullets, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire.
What's even more terrifying is that the tank also has a long barrel, and from time to time it fires powerful and heavy shots at the crowds of the Holy Demon Empire. This thing is aimed directly, so the accuracy is quite terrifying. It always
Cannonballs can be fired into the most densely populated areas, and the killing speed is even more terrifying than the bombardment of Eiland Hill.
What made him collapse the most was that this thing had no intention of fighting the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire at close range. It just fired from a distance to cover the continuous advancement of its own soldiers, making people angry and anxious, but looking for it.
There is no chance to attack it.
Because they chose the M4 Sherman tank, Chris and his generals also referred to the US military's offensive tactics in terms of tactics: they felt that concentrating tanks and using them on a large scale was not a good use method at present.
After all, the opponent does not have a large number of anti-tank weapons, nor does it have many tanks to support the defense line. It is unnecessary to concentrate the tank troops, and it will not achieve very good combat effects.
On the other hand, like the US military, dispersed tanks are used to support infantry operations, which is very consistent with the design purpose of the M4 tank. In supporting infantry operations, the tall and powerful M4 tank is indeed an ideal weapon.
It can exert its own firepower in the rear without having to worry about the opponent having terrible long-range damage weapons like German tanks targeting it. It is simply a perfect advancing bunker. The opponent has no good way to use such tactics.
Therefore, after making some choices, Eiland Hill's tank tactics were initially used to cover infantry operations. This is the best example of how the battlefield environment determines tactical arrangements.
No tactic is absolutely perfect. How to use it depends on the specific environment and analysis. Just like when the Airan Hill Grenadier was first born, they still used the ancient three-stage shooting tactic.
At times, lagging behind tactics may not necessarily have no room for development.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The leader of the Holy Demon Empire officer knew that with the soldiers he led, he could not stop the Ailan Hill troops in front of him. He decisively issued the order to retreat, hoping that he could stop his troops before they were defeated.
Get out of the battlefield before you really bite.
It is a pity that Ailan Hill's troops did not give him a chance to retreat at all. At the same time that he issued the retreat order, the IL-2 attack planes in the sky swooped down and began their killing.
The 20 mm caliber aerial cannon left two bloody paths in the crowd. The small defensive magic on their bodies was unable to stop the large caliber aerial cannon. The ordinary soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire were quickly thrown into disarray under the slaughter of the attack planes.
They could no longer form an organized organization to resist, and the camp was breached in a few minutes. Except for about 20 people who escaped, the remaining people were eliminated nearby. Eiland Hill's counterattack was at a loss at the beginning.
Entered into a benign mode of quick victory.
In one morning, the 11th Division of the 1st Army recaptured two small towns south of Higgs, defeated about 1,000 Holy Demon Empire defenders, and advanced 15 kilometers. This speed is much faster than the previous Holy Demon Empire's
Pushing forward is a full 5 times faster.
Similarly, the 1st Division of Eiland Hill, which served as the main offensive, quickly captured the important southern town of Rosrol, seriously threatening the flank defense of the Holy Demon Empire.
On this day, Airan Hill's air force was like locusts crossing the border, attacking all the targets they could see. The warning defense line and the main defense line deployed by the Holy Demon Empire on the southern front were attacked, and the entire defense system fell into chaos.
.
More than 400 fighter jets and attack aircraft took off thousands of sorties, pouring all the bombs they could carry and the cannon shells they carried onto the Holy Demon Empire's positions.
In just one day, the Holy Demon Empire lost more than 500 soldiers and turned its salient into a dangerous pocket. By the evening of that day, the troops commanded by Waggron had attacked 20 kilometers northward.
We have mastered the intended target of Rosrol and basically completed the advancement mission.
Early the next morning, the battlefield situation changed drastically. The Holy Demon Empire, which had received reinforcements, began a large-scale counterattack, and Ailanthir also hoped to complete their advancement plan for the next day through the attack.
Both sides continued to invest troops in the short 3-kilometer war zone, using dragon knights, giant horse cavalry, magic legions, tanks, attack aircraft, howitzers and other weapons and arms to turn the plain into a lunar surface.
Due to the lack of positional cover, the losses of the troops on both sides were very huge. Often, as soon as 1,000 troops came up to support, most of them were exhausted and had to retreat. The Holy Demon Empire lost another 1,000 magicians in one day, and they were thrown away by the way.
gained air superiority over the entire Higgs region.
Eiland Hill did not take any advantage. The attacking troops of the 1st Army suffered heavy losses. For the first time since the founding of the 1st Division, there was no way to overcome the opponent's defense line. More than 10,000 people shed blood on the battlefield.
The entire 1st Army did not advance further.
The battle became intense from the beginning. Waggron, who was red-eyed by the killing, quickly put his reserve team into action. Two fully equipped armored regiments entered the battlefield, pushing the battle to a climax on the morning of the third day.
In order to cover the flanks of their large army, the Holy Demon Empire had no intention of giving in. They devoted all their strength to launch a counterattack, striving to annihilate this mortal force that threatened the southern defense line.
Because both sides failed to complete their respective tasks on the second day, Ailan Hill stopped moving forward and did not complete the attack plan, and the Holy Demon Empire did not drive its opponent out of its control area, so on the third day, everyone was full of thoughts
Everyone is trying to find a way to complete two days of tasks in one day.
From the beginning, everyone smashed into everything. The mortal armored troops were attacked by dragons and magicians, causing a lot of losses. A tank battalion was completely wiped out during the frontal attack, and the remains of the tanks were paralyzed from the battlefield.
When we reached the other end of the battlefield, the black smoke from the burning covered the sky.
On the other side, the magic legions that poured out also lost their pants. They exhausted their magic replenishing liquid and were caught by the IL-2 attack plane. The magic of the Holy Demon Empire lost its magic protection.
The legions were slaughtered like lambs by the Airansil Air Force, and their corpses were spread all over the hillside.
On the fourth day, Waggron had to suspend the attack and let his troops stay in place: he had to admit the fact that the army composed of terrifying magicians could indeed compete head-on with his mechanized army.
The Holy Demon Empire troops on the opposite side did not launch an attack on this day. They took advantage of the time when Ailan Hill was resting their troops, abandoned their defense line, and began a large-scale retreat.
When leaving their camps, all the officers of the Holy Demon Empire knew that they had lost this war... They had to give up a large number of friendly forces still in the east, and they had to give up the one who was once close at hand but is now far away.
