Chapter 634: 634 pistachio
Chapter 634 634 Pistachio
Cyric's advisors are gone, and they have a way to leave Beiyuan City no matter what. These people took a small sampan at night to leave the dock, and then transferred to a large ship to return to the Mirage Kingdom. They were even escorted by warships along the way.
Nowadays, due to the frequent appearance of Tang warships intercepting the mirage's transport ships, the waterway between Beiyuan and the mirage is no longer so safe.
So whether it is transporting supplies or troops, it needs to be escorted by warships. But compared to the number of shipping ships, the number of warships in the Mirage Kingdom is obviously not enough.
This directly led to a serious problem: whether the port was destroyed or the transportation had to be escorted, the total transportation volume from Mirage Kingdom to Beiyuan City was suddenly reduced by four-fifths!
Eighty percent! Fully 80%!
The lack of so many artillery shells and the lack of so many additional soldiers suddenly made the Mirage army stationed in Beiyuan City despair.
The wounded who were supposed to be transported back to their country were stranded in Beiyuan City. There were wounded soldiers everywhere and ruffians running around everywhere. This made Mirage Musaburo furious every moment.
At the same time, the Tang army was also compressing the control area of the Mirage army outside the city, destroying the Mirage's defense line, and forcing the Mirage troops to continuously retreat towards Beiyuan City.
“Boom!” A cannonball landed on the main defense belt deployed by the Mirage Kingdom outside the city. Before the raised dust had time to settle, a row of Mirage soldiers passed by in the trench carrying their own rifles.
Less than a hundred meters away from the trench, a No. 4 assault gun was turning. The tracks ran over the edge of the trench, and the falling soil frightened the Mirage soldiers under the tracks to the extreme.
Just when these Mirage soldiers were huddled at the bottom of the assault gun, preparing to wait for the assault gun to drive past and attack its rear, a Tang grenadier jumped down from the trench on the side of the assault gun.
He held a Thompson submachine gun and fired at the Mirage soldiers hiding in the trenches, knocking them all to the ground.
A Mirage soldier carrying a grenade with a wooden handle screamed and rushed up, but another Tang Army grenadier who jumped into the trench killed him, and then the two men fell to the other side.
The grenade exploded among the corpses of the Mirage defenders, setting off a cloud of blood. The rampant No. 4 assault gun continued to move forward, and some Tang Army soldiers jumped out of the trench, then climbed out of the trench and continued to follow the assault gun.
“Thud, tug, tug!” After the remaining Tang Army soldiers entered the trenches, they began to attack continuously on both sides. They were cautious, much more cautious than before.
Because their opponents also have helmets and grenades, their combat effectiveness in the trenches is rising linearly.
At least the Mirage Army's combat effectiveness in the trenches has been significantly improved after having a powerful weapon such as grenades. They will no longer be overwhelmed by the Tang Army and have no power to fight back.
“Be careful with grenades!” With this cry, another grenade exploded. I don't know if it was thrown by the Tang army himself or by the soldiers from the Mirage Kingdom on the opposite side.
After the explosion, the typewriter-like sound of Tang Jun's submachine gun sounded again. It seemed that the grenade did not have the desired effect.
Due to the lack of automatic weapons, even after having grenades, the Mirage army was still defeated by Tang Army soldiers in the trenches.
So more mirage troops gathered from both sides, hoping to block back the Tang army that had broken through their defense line.
"Your Majesty the King! Long live!" A Mirage soldier held a bayonet, shouted a slogan, and stabbed the Tang Army soldier in front of him.
What greeted him was the ruthless bullets from the submachine gun. Seven or eight shots were fired at him alone. He was like a sieve. He took a few more steps forward and finally fell down unwillingly.
"Their firepower is forcing us in that direction! Have you seen it! That open space! It looks like it was deliberately left for us." In the trench, a Tang Army company commander put down his telescope and pointed to the opposite direction in the distance. Said a relatively calm area.
"That's right, from the looks of it, at least there are machine gun crossfires on both sides! The position is so good, it's perfect!" The platoon leader following the company commander is also an expert. He has a good understanding of the routine arrangements of the Mirage Army. Palm.
"Not only that! It looks like there are also anti-tank mines!" The company commander looked at the No. 4 assault gun that seemed to have been fooled and was advancing towards the open space and said.
"Remind us of our assault guns! Don't let them fall into the trap!" Patting the platoon leader's shoulder, the company commander added: "I will arrange personnel to suppress the firepower on your side first! Reduce casualties as much as possible! "
“I understand!” The platoon leader nodded, and then ran along the trench towards the location of the assault gun.
You must know that this thing is a good thing now. Every attacking force wants it. It is simply hard to get one. Because all soldiers hope that when they attack, there will be a steel giant that can attract almost all enemy firepower.
"Machine gun team! Spread out on the small high ground over there! Suppress the enemy's firepower! Don't be impatient! Find a good opportunity!" After the platoon commander ran away, the company commander called over a strong man carrying a machine gun, and then issued a new order.
After an assault gun encountered a mine, the Tang Army's assault gun crew was obviously more cautious. They were not in a hurry to attack, but waited for the infantry to discover and mark the enemy's ambush firepower point.
Such a tactic did reduce the losses of assault guns, but it made the infantry too dangerous. In the past few days, the Tang Army has lost 10% more soldiers than in the past. This is obviously a result that the commanders above do not want to see.
There is no way. The war has gradually become **** as the weapons invested by both sides continue to develop and change. The previous situation of running hundreds of miles overnight and destroying a kingdom with two calm shots may never happen again.
Everyone has enough troops to cover the front line, and those classic penetrations and breakthroughs have become very difficult.
On the position, the Mirage army can no longer hold on. They are in defeat. If bayonets can solve all problems, they may be able to hold on for a while.
In a main position, the commander of the Mirage Kingdom was walking back and forth. He still didn't know that the friendly troops next door had not received orders to support him at all.
“Thud, tut, tut!” Suddenly, right behind him, the Mirage’s machine gunners started firing. They had discovered their enemies, and they were close at hand.
"The Tang Army has already attacked. Sir, would you like to..." a company commander in charge of the defense here suggested cautiously.
"No need! The order I got is not allowed to take a step back!" The leading Mirage officer waved his hand and pulled out the pistol from his waist.
This is a PPK pistol produced by Bunas, a long time ago. This thing is still a model for export, and only a small amount of it is equipped with the security forces of Tang State.
“Fire the bayonet!” In the trench nearby, the platoon leader of the Mirage Kingdom had already drawn his saber and gave the order loudly.
With this shout, the Mirage soldiers took out their bayonets from their waists and inserted them into the muzzles of their guns that were almost as high as them.
"Long live the king! Long live the king!" they shouted crazily, and then prepared to jump out of the trenches and fight to the death with the Tang army in front of them.
But as they shouted, a grenade rolled down to their feet. Then there was a loud noise and a cloud of black smoke filled the surrounding area.
The Mirage troops in the trenches fell on their backs. Before the remaining people could get up, Tang Army soldiers came over from the flanks. They fired continuously with their weapons. When they ran out of ammunition, they stayed where they were to replace them. Their companions behind them would Surpass them and keep pushing forward.
Such a rapid advance caught the Mirage army off guard. Everyone in the concrete bunker, including the leading Mirage commander, had to join the battle immediately. They guarded the door and finally blocked the first round of Tang Army's attack.
The two sides kept firing at a very close distance, and from time to time grenades exploded near the entrance of the Mirage's fortifications.
Soon, the defenders of the Mirage Kingdom could no longer hold back: they only had a few pistols, and the rest were Cyric Type 1 rifles. Compared with the Tang Army's Thompson submachine gun, the firepower was really inferior.
On average, the Tang army used up one magazine before the Mirage people had a chance to fire back. If they could sustain such a battle, then they would be gods of war.
As the Tang Army got closer and closer, their accuracy in throwing grenades became more and more exaggerated: soon, a grenade was accurately thrown into the bunker door, and then there was a dull explosion inside. .
"Boom!" The soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom fell on their backs, and the soldiers of the Tang Army took the opportunity to rush into the bunker, beating everyone inside who wanted to escape or get up.
"I surrender!" A Mirage officer hid behind the table and raised his hands, but before he could stand up, soldiers from the Tang Army began to fire a row of bullets in his direction.
It was impossible for the thin wooden boards to withstand bullets, so when the Tang Army soldiers stopped firing and walked over to check the situation, the Mirage officer was already dead.
“He startled me.” The grenadier of the Tang Army who opened fire explained with some embarrassment: “Subconsciously, I just...”
"No one said anything about you." Another grenadier kicked the body on the ground and comforted him nonchalantly: "Just kill him. Just go over and say sorry."
Seeing that the recruit really took two steps forward, the squad leader behind him reached out and put his hand on his shoulder: "He is joking with you, are you really going?"
"Huh?" The new soldier came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked by the veteran. He scratched his head angrily, his face turning red.
"Let's go, Pistachio." The joking veteran swung his gun and prepared to cross the entire bunker and exit through the door on the other side.
“My name is not Pistachio.” The recruit defended himself.
"Okay pistachio. I know pistachio, let's go...pistachio." Here, no one cares what your name is, unless you can survive and let everyone know, follow you to survive!
