Chapter 172: 172 New round of attack
Chapter 172 172 A new round of attack
Chumluo walked out of the big tent, sniffed twice, then glanced sideways behind him, with a disdainful smile on his face.
When a ship is about to capsize, the first thing you know is Mickey Mouse on the ship; when a building is about to collapse, the first thing you know about is the load-bearing wall...Chumro feels that the current Sirik is no longer the Sirik worthy of his surrender. It's over.
So, he walked towards the place where Baron Stella's troops were stationed. In the camp he passed, Cyric's soldiers were making preparations for the battle.
In the distance, opposite the open space full of corpses and bomb craters, most of the soldiers of the Datang Group were leaning on the edge of the trench with their eyes closed and concentrating.
Their training requires them to be able to fall asleep quickly in a noisy battlefield environment, but also be able to wake up in time when they need to fight.
These soldiers are used to this kind of thing, and their equipment can support them to rest comfortably in such an environment.
The rucksacks stuffed with underwear, socks and blankets were like cushions, allowing these soldiers to have a more comfortable sleeping position when leaning on the edge of the trench. They took every moment to recharge their batteries, and before the sentries woke them up, they Like rocks from a trench.
In the machine gun bunker, several soldiers had helped collect all the bullet casings scattered on the ground. This stuff is not cheap nowadays, and it is definitely worth it to recycle it.
What’s more, the recycling conditions here are really good. At least you don’t have to go to the wild to pick them up one by one or search everywhere. They were all next to the machine gun. After being thrown out of the shell, they fell to the ground and were basically piled together.
At the rest of the positions, everyone is basically in a state of not firing a shot, so there is no issue of recovering bullets.
Farther behind, the army's food supply team has begun to make pots of rice. They lit a fire on a hidden reverse **** and were supported by a professional cooking carriage. They processed the prepared ingredients and started making soup.
Compared with previous troops from various countries, the details of Tang Mo's troops are much better. After all, there are ready-made templates that can be copied. Therefore, in terms of the soldier's experience, Tang Mo's security forces are simply from another planet.
A carriage loaded with ammunition drove swayingly on the road and stopped in front of a specially concealed material distribution point.
The soldiers who had been waiting here swarmed forward and divided up the ammunition piled on the carriage. The two firing machine gun positions need to be replenished with ammunition, and more ammunition needs to be stockpiled in some forward defense positions.
Although the enemy army was defeated quickly, the officers and soldiers of the security forces did not consume much ammunition in the first battle, but they must be prepared for the subsequent battle.
Be prepared for a rainy day, this is the idea that Tang Mo has been instilling in the soldiers - the philosophy of Datang Group is that if I have two yuan, I will never fight for one yuan!
Just as the security force soldiers of the Datang Group took the time to rest, rhythmic drums sounded from the opposite side.
"The enemy has begun to attack!" A squad leader stood up first, lay on the edge of the trench, took a look, and then shouted loudly to his comrades beside him.
The soldiers who heard the shouts immediately stood up from the bottom of the trench nimbly and began to silently inspect the weapons they had just erected next to them.
On the horizon, Cyric's soldiers began their second charge in groups, still in a dense formation, still in a phalanx next to each other.
The drum beat spurred everyone's pace, but when these troops reached a place more than 100 meters away from the front of the Datang Group's security forces' defense line, their speed had to slow down.
Because they had to step over the stiff bodies and move forward with difficulty. The smell of blood filled the air, causing many people to start retching.
Some crows that were foraging on the corpses finally flew away, leaving behind the delicious meal they were reluctant to part with.
These Cyric soldiers who were moving forward step by step did not even dare to lower their heads and look at the **** corpses.
"Boom!" Several artillery shells exploded in the crowd. These poor Cyric soldiers were baptized by artillery fire before they even got close to the enemy's position.
Screams came one after another, and the originally neat square formation began to become messy. The remaining soldiers involuntarily accelerated their pace, no matter how the officers shouted, they no longer followed the rhythm of the drums.
They want to complete this charge as soon as possible and end this nightmare.
However, just as they stepped on the corpses and approached the Datang Group's defense line, the roar of the machine guns rang out again.
This time, an officer finally saw the location of the shining machine gun bunker perforation.
The bunker is hidden halfway up the hillside, behind a gap in the bushes, and has a very good shooting angle. Moreover, this perforation is slightly skewed and is not facing the road, so it is even more difficult to find.
At this moment, this perforation is emitting tongues of flame, and the fatal bullets are ejected from this perforation!
Bullets rushed into the crowd from the side, and the soldiers who were shot fell one after another. Most of them were still at a loss. Before they could figure out where the enemy's attack came from, they were shot through the body.
A soldier who had been shot in the head fell on his back, hitting a soldier whose arm was blown off. The two men fell backwards and finally landed on the corpse at their feet.
The flagbearer holding the Cyric flag high saw a bullet break the flagpole in his hand. Before he could bend down to pick up the fallen flag, his stomach was shot through by a bullet.
Then the flag-bearer knelt down and died. When he lost consciousness, his whole body knelt on the ground, his head smashed forward on his own internal organs, and his buttocks stuck out and remained motionless.
Desperate shouts could be heard endlessly, and the scene was chaotic. The soldiers had ignored the officers' restraints, and the officers were also running around.
Another legion's attack was defeated in an instant. Except for the soldiers who luckily escaped from the crossfire net, this legion could almost be described as annihilated.
Although their artillery is still there, they probably only have artillery and logistics workers left now.
The entire battlefield quickly returned to silence once again. The roar of machine guns gradually faded away. The roads and roadbeds on both sides, as well as the wilderness farther away, were filled with corpses of Cyric soldiers...
In some places, the corpses have been piled up to three levels, and in some places, the soil can still be seen vaguely. Next to the broken corpses, brand new K1 guns were scattered.
Soon, those crows who were not afraid of death came back again and began to look for their favorite food on the disgusting battlefield full of broken limbs.
For them, the meat here is very fresh, not yet rotten, it can fill their stomachs, and the quantity... is sufficient...
In just ten minutes, the second attempt to attack the Datang Group's defense line failed. Cyric's troops once again dropped 1,000 corpses in panic, and then retreated like frightened birds.
After two consecutive attacks, Cyric has left a total of 2,300 men here, and the two legions were completely annihilated...
According to previous standards, after losing one-fifth of the troops in Giss's hands, it was basically equivalent to losing the ability to continue attacking.
But this time there were some exceptions. The one-fifth loss was not distributed among all the troops.
Because the power of the machine guns was too great, these losses were concentrated among the two attacking corps. The other troops were unscathed, so naturally there was no such thing as timidity.
This is also one of the reasons why Gith has not yet stopped thinking about retreating. He still has the capital to fight, or he still has enough soldiers to die.
The road in front of us heading west to Bunas is the only road leading to Bunas nearby, and now this road has become muddy.
Blood seeps into the soil, and the corpses on the road rot and melt, making this road difficult to walk.
If Gis wants to bypass this road, he needs to walk more than ten kilometers and go south and take another road over the mountains.
If the troops were to go south to test another route, it would take a lot of time, but a strong attack seemed uncertain, so Geese decided to rely on his large number of troops to carry out a two-pronged attack.
He ordered two legions of 3,000 men to go south, and then continued to order Baron Stella's troops to attack in order to race against time and resolve the battle before something unexpected happened.
As a cunning and cunning leader of Cyric, Gith always feels that the power of the Kingdom of Wright behind him is dangerous.
He had a hunch that if his attack stalled, the king of the Wright Kingdom would definitely intervene in this matter—and he would definitely side with the Tang Group.
Furthermore, in his opinion, Beiling has always been on the side of Datang. The longer the delay, the more likely Beiling's reinforcements will arrive. Once reinforcements from Beiling arrive, the Datang Group will become even more difficult to deal with.
Without enough time to continue cleaning up the corpses, a new legion commanded by Baron Stella entered the battlefield in a mighty manner.
