Chapter 1186 1187 Childhood Memories
The goblins who were attacked from the flank were already in disarray, and their commander sent dozens of soldiers to launch a counterattack from the flank again.
They tried to drive away the flanking enemies approaching the village, but behind them there was a Lion armored reconnaissance vehicle with a powerful 75mm cannon.
When the orc troops from the front advanced through the smoke-enclosed area, the vision of both sides gradually became better. The smoke bombs are gradually dissipating, and the firepower points of both sides are beginning to take effect.
The impatient Orc machine gunners began to fire, and the chainsaw-like sound of the MG42 machine gun began to sound on the battlefield.
Tracer bullets swept towards the goblin trenches like raindrops, and the outcropping goblins were forced back into their own tunnels. The wooden frame in the distance that looked like a horse was smashed to pieces by the No. 4 tank.
When they saw the No. 4 tank, the goblins stationed in the village obviously started to become confused. Some soldiers began to jump out of the trenches and escape, but these mindless recruits would soon be knocked down by bullets.
But there were still soldiers fleeing in panic, and even the goblin law enforcement teams were unable to stop these farmers who had not received a few days of training from continuing to stick to their posts.
There is no way. The shock brought by a No. 4 tank to ordinary people is too great. They dare not approach such a twisting behemoth.
In the trenches, the goblin soldiers who were preparing for an anti-tank attack unscrewed the safety of the sting mine. This kind of front end is equipped with a huge explosive package with a collision fuse, which can blow the tank and the person using the sting mine into the sky.
Those who dare to use this thing are some fanatics. The army will distribute these people to various units, and they will assume the anti-tank tasks of the unit.
Of course, these suicide "thunder attack experts" cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, so the anti-tank capabilities of each unit are actually unreliable.
Some experienced mine-thunder attackers have participated in actual combat as infantry before, so they have better access to tanks, so the attack success rate of such soldiers is relatively high.
But if this fanatic is just bolder and dares to seek death, but does not know much about actual combat, then 80% of his success will be in vain... The anti-tank capability of this goblin unit may be weaker.
The first goblin soldier jumped out of the trench, holding the long pole for stabbing thunder with both hands, and ran quickly towards the Tang Army's tank. But before he could even take two steps, he was shot by an orc soldier who was flanking the tank to cover the attack, and fell on the way forward.
The second goblin soldier rushed out immediately, shouting and rushing towards the orc tank. But he also failed. The orcs' firepower was too dense, and there was no way he could get close to the tank in this desperate attempt.
"Boom!" The No. 4 tank's turret spurted out a ball of flames, and the short-barreled 75mm gun fired a shell, which directly hit the collapsed wall of the village. The explosion kicked up a cloud of dust.
The goblin soldiers who felt the tremendous pressure finally couldn't hold back anymore. They ignored the commander's scolding, discarded their weapons and began to rout.
No one dared to look back, and hundreds of goblin soldiers fled into the village. The orc troops jumped into the trenches, cleared out the few soldiers who were still resisting, and then could only cooperate with the tanks to continue attacking the village.
They are very skilled in their movements, and their foot-tank coordination is also very organized. The goblin soldiers who were still preparing to rely on the ruins of the house collapsed again. They lacked heavy weapons. They only had a few thorn mines, but they could not find anyone with the courage to use them.
Although the RPG rockets occasionally captured in Dingcheng provided some ideas for the goblin engineers, their weak industry and almost scrapped production capacity simply did not allow them to copy the new individual anti-tank weapons of the Tang Empire.
The battle soon came to an end. About 300 goblin soldiers fled, leaving more than 200 corpses scattered throughout the village.
A battalion of troops was defeated by an orc tank, two armored vehicles and a platoon of infantry. This already reflected the serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the goblin troops.
The orcs did not continue the attack, they were just ordered to capture the village. With their little strength, they really couldn't continue to advance forward.
After all, not all troops can be like the troops of the Tang Empire, who have the courage to organize attacks and advance forward with scattered troops and very few troops.
…
"Report!" An officer walked into Mirwuk's office, stood at attention and saluted and handed a document to the army general: "General! I just got the news that the orc troops have been installed on the outer defense line of Mirage City!"
"Oh?" Phantom Vuk grabbed the telegram and looked down at the content: "It's finally here! How is the battle going?"
"The other side captured one of our villages and then had no intention of continuing the attack. An armored force was moving on the flank of our army and seemed to be preparing to enter the defense area of our 1st Armored Division." The officer immediately replied. "Surrounding us... is still the same old routine." Mirwuk gave an evaluation with a wry smile. He felt that the orcs had no tactics at all and were just relying on the unlimited resources provided by the Tang Empire to act recklessly.
Unfortunately, this kind of siege is fatal to him. Now that the mirage army has left the solid defenses, there is really nothing the orcs can do.
As long as the supplies are cut off and the mirage army is surrounded, the mirage army will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death if it lacks weapons and ammunition. He has used this trick so many times that he has almost learned it himself.
But this time he was a little prepared. As the royal city of the Mirage Kingdom, Mirage City had sufficient food reserves and ammunition reserves.
Moreover, they have the sea at their back and a river running through the city, so they cannot be completely blocked and there is no shortage of water! It won't be as passive as the central fortification area.
bring it on! Come on then! Let's see if we can make the orcs remember how powerful the goblins are here! Phantom Vuk clenched his fists and ordered: "Let the 1st Armored Division stabilize! Don't leave your own defense zone to fight! To avoid being attacked by the Tang Air Force!"
What he was afraid of was not the orcs, but the Tang plane behind the orcs! Those planes are really powerful, and it looks like the current Mirage City is about to become a ruin.
Now it's just the outer defense line of Mirage City. When those **** of the orcs get close to the core defense line, they will know how difficult the defense line prepared by the goblins for humans is!
Between these lines of defense, he also laid a large number of mines at the risk of the world. As long as the orcs passed through these minefields, they would pay a heavy price.
Even though he has lost air superiority, some hidden airports in the northern part of the Mirage Island can still take off aircraft to interfere with the Orc Air Force! The few remaining goblin pilots will still fight bravely and fight for the Mirage Emperor until the last moment.
"Inform the Mirage Emperor of the news... The enemy is moving towards the flanks of Mirage City, trying to encircle our army. For the sake of your Majesty's safety, please consider leaving Mirage City and moving to the northern area." When the officer was about to leave, Mirage Wuk said again added.
“Yes!” The officer stood at attention, lowered his head, turned and left.
Mirage looked through the window at the thick smoke that had not dissipated in the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking: that smoke column was left by a Scud missile just now. The Tang Empire still maintained the principle of launching one missile every day. good habit.
The fire alarm bells can still be heard clearly. The city has been devastated by nearly a hundred Scud missiles and is in dilapidated condition. It is like a ruins, except that it is crowded with refugees and troops, making it more lively and less desolate.
He can no longer remember clearly what this place looked like in the past. The busy port, which was full of naval warships, now only has a dilapidated pier. The factories and large chimneys that used to emit thick smoke are no longer visible at this moment.
The stinky streets were something Mirage used to hate, but now he feels that such a scene is extremely friendly...but he can no longer see it.
The city is now littered with bomb craters, the power plant is no longer working, and the water plant is in ruins. People in the city have returned to the life they had decades ago, the life Mirwuk was familiar with when he was a child.
Everyone crowded around the well, the vicious subordinates shouted and cursed in vicious words, and the horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts left piles of excrement on the street...
Phanwuk spent his childhood in such an environment. At that time, he really did not expect that the war could develop to the point it is today.
In his childhood, he even often imagined that he could become a general. So when he stood out for his military merits at the age of thirty-four and became the "Military Governor" of the Mirage Kingdom, he was really satisfied and fantasized about becoming a famous general of the Mirage Kingdom.
Who knows, later under the influence of the Tang State, the Mirage State carried out a series of military reforms. The position he was familiar with became "major general", and later he was promoted to "lieutenant general" because of his strong support for military reform.
By the time he became the first military general in the Mirage Kingdom, flintlock guns had been replaced by machine guns and bolt-action rifles, and front-loaded cannons had been eliminated by large-caliber breech-loading cannons—war had completely changed.
Before he could get used to it, planes and tanks had already appeared, and his status as a mirage general began to be surpassed by that of the navy general! There was no way, just looking at the super battleships of the navy, he couldn't argue with Mirage Haiping about the importance of land and sea.
Mirage Wuk grew up in the city of Mirage in his childhood... He will not leave here! Absolutely not! Even if this place turns into ruins, he must stand here!
Thinking of this, Mirwuk cheered up and walked back to his desk, ready to continue handling official duties.
But before he could pick up his pen, the piercing air-raid sirens sounded again. Soon, the adjutant broke in and reported the enemy's air attack to Mirwuk: "The radar has detected the invading aircraft group! General! Please enter the air raid shelter!"
