On the Mullen River defense line, in a messy position, an ordinary soldier of the puppet empire was squatting in the trench holding his weapon, complaining about this war that made him despair.
He has not had lunch for two days, because at noon every day, the artillery unit of Eiland Hill will greet the Mullen River defense line on time, in their arrogant way...
During this period of time, the artillery unit of Elland Hill will suddenly fire a round of rockets. It may be at twelve o'clock or at five minutes past twelve. Anyway, the time depends on the artillery of Elland Hill.
Mood changes are very random.
Those participating in the artillery bombardment are usually the rocket launchers of Eiland Hill. They will use a volley of about 200 mm rocket launchers, combined with a 155 mm caliber howitzer, for only one round!
This round of artillery shells falling on the Mullen River defense line will immediately flood several defensive positions and blast the puppet empire soldiers waiting in the defensive positions until they howl like ghosts.
Therefore, the puppet empire, which was already short of food, simply stopped giving out lunches to avoid being bombarded and wasting food...
In the early days, most of the frontline combat troops of the puppet empire relied on puppets to fight, so they did not need to prepare too much food, so this link was very weak.
It is different now, because it is very difficult to produce and replenish puppets. The final result is that a large number of ordinary people have to be supplemented to fight on the front line, which also increases the consumption of food in disguise and increases the difficulty of logistical supply.
The puppet empire lacks such large-scale dispatch capabilities because they themselves do not have much experience in this area. Now that the northeastern region of the puppet empire is covered by wildfires, it is more difficult to mobilize personnel and materials, and food replenishment has become a problem.
Empty talk.
In fact, the front line has not received new food supplies for several days. It is only because there is some food in stock that we can barely hold on until now.
However, this kind of persistence is about to come to an end. Amidst the rumbling cannons of Eiland Hill, not many people still have the courage to continue fighting even when they are hungry.
"Boom!" Another heavy artillery shell over 200 mm fell on the puppet empire's position, splashing a piece of black soil and raising a billowing cloud of smoke.
However, the entire puppet empire's defensive positions were still lifeless, as quiet as if there were no living people.
The artillery of the puppet empire had stopped firing back a long time ago. Their artillery shells themselves were insufficient, so they could only avoid wasting it. They could only fantasize in their minds about bombarding Ailanthil.
As for actually opening fire, the artillerymen of the Puppet Empire would never dare to do so. Not to mention the long-barreled artillery that cannot hit the other side, the troublesome ballistic detection radar is enough to make the artillerymen of the Puppet Empire very tired.
He just squatted under the camouflage net and pretended to be dead.
Speaking of camouflage nets, the camouflage nets on the front lines of the Puppet Empire have been replaced three times. The soldiers of the Puppet Empire on the front lines have made full use of what they have and improved these camouflage nets as much as possible...
At the beginning, the camouflage net of the Puppet Empire was green camouflage, which was an imitation of the captured Airan Hill standard camouflage net. However, this camouflage net soon became unusable.
Due to large-scale bombing and shelling, the vegetation near the battlefield has rapidly degraded. If this camouflage net is continued to be used, there is no difference between telling the people of Elanthir "I am here".
Therefore, this kind of camouflage net began to be artificially painted with the color of earth, initially yellow and green, and later completely changed to yellow.
Despite this, this kind of camouflage network still cannot guarantee the safety of the puppet empire's heavy weapons and equipment. Ailan Hill's detection methods are no longer limited to naked eye observation. Various advanced observation equipment are emerging in an endless stream, and infrared thermal sensing and other methods have also been developed.
It's starting to become popular.
Therefore, those large, expensive, and heavy weapons and equipment used by the puppet empire have basically disappeared on the Mullen River defense line.
Dozens of their own modified heavy artillery were destroyed without a single one left. The remaining 130 mm caliber howitzers were no match for the 155 or even 203 mm caliber heavy artillery.
"If it weren't for those demons, we might as well surrender..." The soldier holding the gun hit the helmet twice with his hand, shaking off the loose soil on it, and complained softly.
Just like what he said, half of the people on this defense line didn't want to continue fighting. If it weren't for the troops helping them stabilize their position, or monitoring them in disguise, they would have surrendered long ago.
Even just looking at the scene in front of me, I know that the two sides are not in the same weight class at all. The opponent's rocket artillery can hit more than 1,000 rockets in a single salvo. How can we fight this battle if we don't even have the courage to fire a single shot?
?
"Boom!" Another artillery shell fell. This time the bombardment was obviously longer and larger in scale.
It seemed that the entire Malen River defense line was under attack. The puppet empire soldiers stationed in the position finally realized that this time's shelling seemed different from the previous ones!
So, a curious soldier climbed up the ladder in the trench and looked at the north bank of the Mullen River controlled by Eiland Hill.
At this glance, he let out a cry of surprise. He fell back into the trench in embarrassment, being so frightened that he could not even speak clearly.
The puppet empire soldier who had been complaining while holding his weapon saw his companion trembling with fear and climbed up the ladder again with disapproval.
He lay on the edge of the trench and cautiously poked his head out. His eyes under the brim of his steel helmet suddenly widened: "Oh my God! That...is that...Elandhill's battleship?"
At the other end of the sky, the figures of three sky-class floating battleships gradually became clearer. On the bows of the three battleships, huge golden eagle emblems shone in the sun. This light made the ground troops of Eiland Hill
There was a mountain of cheers, which also made the soldiers on the puppet empire's position completely despair.
Waggron sat in the commander's seat where Chris once sat, and gave the order to the Sky 1 captain standing next to him: "Gentlemen! The attack begins!"
The captain stood at attention and saluted, and then repeated the order loudly: "Order! The attack begins!"
Following his order, the turrets on both sides of the three sky-class aerial battleships began to rotate slightly downward, aiming the 500 mm caliber heavy artillery muzzles at the Mullen River defense line that had been bombarded like the surface of the moon.
The next second, sounds like landslides came one after another, dozens of heavy artillery roared one after another, and the entire Malen River defense line was instantly submerged in an explosion.
