Even if the casualties are higher, they must try their best to capture the Bova military fortress. Otherwise, they will completely fail in this war. By then, they cannot expect the Daheng Empire to completely penetrate into the southwest continent.
Coupled with the strength of Garfia's participating troops, the front-line troops and the reserve forces in the rear, the total strength is nearly 200,000. The top leaders of the Garfia Empire believe that the army still has hope of taking Bova. Of course, the casualties
It may be very large.
But no one will die in a war!
As a result, just the next day, a telegram from the Carfiya Empire was delivered to Admiral Haldane. Seeing the order from the country urging him to continue the attack and capture the Bova Fortress, Admiral Haldane couldn't bear it.
He couldn't stop cursing.
Although domestic telegrams stated that more ammunition had been mobilized, more reinforcements were also being prepared.
But it is obvious that those in the country want to use the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers of their Third Army in exchange for diplomatic bargaining chips!
But can he refuse?
cannot!
The big bosses in the country only saw tens of thousands of people killed and injured, and obviously didn't take it seriously. But what if there were 40,500, 50, or even 70,000 or 80,000 killed and injured?
Admiral Haldane couldn't help but have such a pessimistic assumption. Maybe then they will truly wake up. Pure human life cannot conquer a steel barrier like the Bova Fortress, right?
Maybe, by then, I will become the eternal sinner of the empire?
With unwillingness and anger, Admiral Haldane issued the order for another attack.
The offensive and defensive battle of Bova continued. Although Admiral Haldane had taken various measures as much as possible, the offensive still made no progress. In order to gain progress, especially to conquer the three hilltop fortresses, they continued to attack at any cost, regardless of casualties.
However, their casualties did not result in any practical results.
The three hilltop fortresses of Bova Fortress are still controlled by the defenders!
On the fifth day after the attack was launched, when the number of casualties exceeded 30,000, many front-line generals of the army had already begun to carry out passive attacks overtly and covertly.
Because their current attack method has no effect except causing them to kill and injure more people.
Although they are also loyal and patriotic, and are willing to sacrifice for the Garfia Empire, it is definitely not such a meaningless sacrifice.
Facing the heavy pressure from the country and the backlash from his generals, Army General Haldane is also a bachelor!
Six days after the third general offensive, he submitted a request to the country for the fourth time to postpone the attack, at least until the increased domestic heavy artillery troops arrived before attacking. However, after the country rejected his request, Haldane
The Army General also submitted his resignation without hesitation!
The attack can continue, but Haldane is unwilling to be the scapegoat for the death and injury of a large number of soldiers!
When the commander of the group responsible for the general offensive was forced to submit his resignation, this also shocked the top leaders of the Carfiya Empire!
The shock was followed by anger. They rejected his resignation, dismissed Haldane from his post, and transferred him directly to the reserve force. There were even voices within the organization that they would send him to a military court for dereliction of duty, desertion from battle, etc.
name.
In short, General Haldane is no longer the commander of the Third Army.
Later, the senior officials of the Garfia Empire transferred another general to serve as the commander of the Third Army.
The person who could come over to serve as the commander of the Third Army at this time was naturally a general chosen by the top management to favor a strong attack. This person was General Morz.
Even before this person arrived at Bova, he had already ordered his troops to prepare for the next round of attack.
As soon as the people arrived in Bova by train, they had already launched the fifth general attack!
This time, the beating was even worse!
Countless Carfians were killed by cannonballs and bullets under the supervision of the rear supervision team!
Often after more than half of the attacking troops were killed or wounded, they were still forced by the supervising team to continue charging forward. In the end, they continued to charge in despair and continued to die. At the end of the battle, the attacking Garfia soldiers stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades and continued to advance.
, because the ground was full of corpses, and there was no open space for them to stay.
This kind of fierce attack, a method of attack that did not consider the lives of one's own people, also shocked the people of Daheng!
When it comes to the brutality of war, the Blue Star people's first instinct is often the Daheng people.
But today the people of Daheng discovered that the Carfiya people on the opposite side were even crazier than themselves!
The madness of the Daheng people is generally directed towards the outside world, rather than towards their own people, and this kind of external cruelty is actually more reflected outside the battlefield...
When fighting on the battlefield, Daheng people rarely engage in death charges. They usually use absolute numerical superiority or firepower superiority to push the enemy flatly with an absolute advantage that the enemy cannot resist.
During the Heng'ao War, the reason why the Daheng Empire frantically sent more than one million army troops to fight on the southern continent was to gain numerical advantage.
In this Battle of Bova, the reason why more than 600 of the latest heavy machine guns and countless heavy artillery were mobilized to the Bova military base was to gain firepower advantage.
However, Daheng people have traditionally rarely engaged in such death charges except in a few extreme circumstances.
However, these Carfians really dared to use intensive heavy machine gun firepower to force their troops to charge forward. After killing one regiment, another regiment was added, so that the charging road was covered with the carcasses of Carfians soldiers.
Corpse.
This scene even worried Mei Zixiao. With so many corpses piled up outside, a large-scale plague would break out!
For this reason, he urgently notified the rear and asked them to quickly gather a batch of anti-epidemic materials. The position was successfully defended, but in the end a large-scale plague broke out.
As for whether the position could be defended, he was not worried about this issue.
With the solid defense facilities and intensive firepower of the Bova Fortress, the opponent has only two ways to capture the Bova military base. The first is to mobilize enough large-caliber heavy artillery, not the 75 mm caliber, but the 100 mm.
Artillery with a caliber of 120 mm must be artillery with a caliber of 150 mm at the very least.
And even artillery of this caliber cannot actually pry open the cement and steel fortresses of the three major fortresses!
If you want to pry open the strong defenses of the three fortresses, you need at least a heavy artillery of more than 200 millimeters. If you want to be more effective, you need a heavy artillery of more than 300 millimeters.
However, the reason why Bova Fortress is difficult to conquer is not only that the three main fortresses are strong enough, but also because the terrain facing the land is gently developed and has a good view, which is very conducive to the defenders' long-range artillery bombardment.
The long-range heavy artillery on the three fortresses can bombard any target under the guidance of high-altitude balloons.
